Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So we'll get those ready to go and rock and roll.
- 0:02Speaker 1: We'll have as much as we can. We'll get Cheo
- 0:03Speaker 1: as much as many of you get involved as we
- 0:06Speaker 1: can along the way. I'm gonna get in just a
- 0:09Speaker 1: second to some college football stuff that we touched on yesterday,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and I struck a nerve with Husky fans. And trust
- 0:14Speaker 1: me when I say this, I did not and I
- 0:16Speaker 1: know that you guys aren't gonna believe me. I get it,
- 0:18Speaker 1: I understand it. You guys, I get it. But there's like, oh,
- 0:22Speaker 1: he's just anti Husky. Know what my point was, and
- 0:26Speaker 1: I'll try to express it again here better in a moment.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Their path to the college football playoff is not as
- 0:31Speaker 1: easy as ten and two and a win over Oregon.
- 0:34Speaker 1: But I'll explain why in a second. There's there's some
- 0:39Speaker 1: things that I kind of the more I looked at it,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and I talked to Mandel and then talked to a
- 0:42Speaker 1: couple of the guys, and I just this is going
- 0:45Speaker 1: to be an interesting year because as it stands right now,
- 0:48Speaker 1: there's really only ten spots. There's a group of five,
- 0:51Speaker 1: group of six whatever the hell we're calling the non
- 0:53Speaker 1: Power five Power four conferences, now spot that has to
- 0:55Speaker 1: come in there. That's one, and the ACC champion we'll get.
- 0:59Speaker 2: In as well.
- 1:00Speaker 1: And right now there's nobody in the ACC in the
- 1:03Speaker 1: top twelve. But I'll explain a second. Let me quickly
- 1:06Speaker 1: get to the news from Marshawn Neelan. It was addressed
- 1:10Speaker 1: today by LaMarcus DeMarcus Lawrence at Seahawk Facility. There's some
- 1:14Speaker 1: more details coming out now regarding it. There might have
- 1:16Speaker 1: been a car chase and some sort of situation there.
- 1:20Speaker 1: But again police investigating as an apparent suicide. And while
- 1:27Speaker 1: details are still going to come out and we'll find
- 1:31Speaker 1: out more along the way. He just recovered a fumble
- 1:34Speaker 1: Monday Night football a couple of nights ago against Arizona.
- 1:38Speaker 1: It's another harsh reminder about the importance of taking care
- 1:46Speaker 1: of yourself mentally, and by no means do I need
- 1:50Speaker 1: to get up on a soapbox and tell you that.
- 1:52Speaker 1: But we live in a world now where there is
- 1:55Speaker 1: so much more available to people. There is so much
- 1:59Speaker 1: more or out there for folks to get help if
- 2:04Speaker 1: you need it. But we still have tragedies happen all
- 2:07Speaker 1: the time, with people taking their own lives and dying
- 2:10Speaker 1: by suicide, and I saw that today immediately thought of
- 2:14Speaker 1: my friends Kim and Markolinsky, who we do so much
- 2:17Speaker 1: work with with the golf tournament and the charity beer
- 2:19Speaker 1: with the Mayor IPA and the Mayor Golf Tournament Mayor
- 2:23Speaker 1: of Maple Valley Open. Because of what happened with Tyler
- 2:26Speaker 1: back in twenty eighteen, coming up on a seven year,
- 2:29Speaker 1: eight year anniversary of that unfortunate tragedy that took place
- 2:33Speaker 1: in Pullman if Neilan died after I don't want to
- 2:41Speaker 1: say a conflict with police, but there was some sort
- 2:43Speaker 1: of thing going on, a chase of some sort, it
- 2:45Speaker 1: sounds like now. The fact that he still took his
- 2:47Speaker 1: own life tells you that where he was was a
- 2:49Speaker 1: really dark and bad place. It also emphasized why we
- 2:53Speaker 1: do stuff with Lensky's Hope and others. So I just
- 2:55Speaker 1: it's those are the ones that just kind of rocky.
- 2:57Speaker 1: It remind you that life is short, life precious, life
- 3:01Speaker 1: is fragile, and just try to live the best you
- 3:05Speaker 1: can and if you do need help, find it, get it.
- 3:07Speaker 1: It's out there. It really truly is. And I just
- 3:10Speaker 1: I hate seeing that guy twenty four years old. Twenty
- 3:13Speaker 1: four years old. Okay, let me get to the college
- 3:17Speaker 1: football stuff just for a second. Washington is going to
- 3:21Speaker 1: take on Wisconsin this week picked him in a factor
- 3:24Speaker 1: of fiction yesterday Washington minus eleven and a half.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Fact, let's go.
- 3:28Speaker 1: But things usually take care of themselves in the college
- 3:32Speaker 1: football playoff, and I believe for Washington it is very
- 3:40Speaker 1: very likely that ten and two could get you into
- 3:44Speaker 1: the college football playoff, but you're gonna need help along
- 3:47Speaker 1: the way from some others. The schedules down the stretch
- 3:52Speaker 1: for the teams above them vary in degree of difficulty. Frankly,
- 3:58Speaker 1: Oregon maybe has as tough go as there is, and
- 4:01Speaker 1: they're ranked number nine right now. Notre Dame's going to
- 4:05Speaker 1: get in, which we'll get to them in a second.
- 4:08Speaker 1: This is why it's screwed up for Washington and other teams. Hell,
- 4:11Speaker 1: I'll put Utah in that conversation, who could finish ten
- 4:14Speaker 1: and two in just a second as well. But Notre
- 4:18Speaker 1: Dame's going to get in. But this is what's messed
- 4:20Speaker 1: up is when you look and you see a Notre
- 4:23Speaker 1: Dame team at seven and two or six and two now,
- 4:27Speaker 1: but they'll end up being ten and two more than
- 4:28Speaker 1: likely and they're ranked tenth. Miami's ranked eighteenth. They're six
- 4:35Speaker 1: and two as well, they're obviously five point spots ahead
- 4:39Speaker 1: of Washington. What's frustrating I think for so many we
- 4:43Speaker 1: could have four teams, twelve teams, sixteen teams, and at
- 4:47Speaker 1: some point someone's got to explain to us how winning
- 4:51Speaker 1: a game head to head doesn't matter. And that's the case.
- 4:55Speaker 1: And by no means I am by the ten to
- 4:56Speaker 1: one guy. I'm not Mark James, I'm not mister Mi Miami,
- 5:01Speaker 1: but I'll look at Notre Dame. Yeah, close losses, but
- 5:06Speaker 1: how does that not matter? How does that not matter?
- 5:10Speaker 1: How does that not come into play? How can I
- 5:15Speaker 1: Miami losing Louisville in SMU. I get that, I get that,
- 5:21Speaker 1: But Notre Dame lost to Miami and they have the
- 5:24Speaker 1: same record, they're five spots back. So what I meant
- 5:28Speaker 1: yesterday not to take a shot out way I said,
- 5:31Speaker 1: don't just think that going ten and two is gonna
- 5:33Speaker 1: get you in, because there's gonna more than likely be
- 5:36Speaker 1: a handful of teams at ten and two, and more
- 5:38Speaker 1: than likely at least one nine and three team from
- 5:41Speaker 1: the SEC that are all gonna be battling for those
- 5:43Speaker 1: final two or three spots. And when I say the
- 5:45Speaker 1: two or three spots, those are spots eight, nine, and
- 5:49Speaker 1: ten out of the twelve teams. That's what it's gonna be.
- 5:53Speaker 1: And then you're gonna throw a Utah in there. And
- 5:55Speaker 1: the Big twelve is getting a little of love right
- 5:57Speaker 1: now with BYU in Texas Tech. If you're a Washington fan,
- 6:03Speaker 1: believe it or not, you probably really want to root
- 6:06Speaker 1: for Oregon the next few weeks painful, one hundred percent
- 6:12Speaker 1: painful as hell, but you don't take on USC. So
- 6:17Speaker 1: you definitely want Oregon to beat USC. And you definitely
- 6:22Speaker 1: and you definitely want Oregon to beat Iowa. You don't
- 6:25Speaker 1: want to have to go into that Oregon game saying, well, man,
- 6:28Speaker 1: look at Iowa. They just have wins, they just beat
- 6:30Speaker 1: Oregon and they have the same record. You can't take
- 6:33Speaker 1: care of that yourself because you don't play them. And
- 6:36Speaker 1: USC and Iowa are both ahead of Washington right now.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You need Oregon to take care of business and hope,
- 6:45Speaker 1: like hell, the head to head matchup you knock off
- 6:47Speaker 1: Oregon and they end up going nine and three year
- 6:49Speaker 1: ten and two, and maybe you end up being that
- 6:51Speaker 1: third team from the Big ten in there, but by
- 6:53Speaker 1: no means it's ten and two a guarantee there should
- 6:57Speaker 1: be nervous And let me take a one step back.
- 7:01Speaker 2: You guys know, I.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Don't know if I brought this. I brought this off
- 7:04Speaker 1: a couple times. We played the audio a couple of
- 7:07Speaker 1: times as well. But I've said it. I think Washington's
- 7:11Speaker 1: better than Old Miss. But that won't matter. I think
- 7:16Speaker 1: there's no doubt Washington's better than Old Miss, at least
- 7:18Speaker 1: when I saw him, eyes on eyes. Head to head,
- 7:22Speaker 1: Washington's better than Old Miss. Ole Miss is sitting there
- 7:24Speaker 1: cruising around. They're all but in at number six. At
- 7:26Speaker 1: eight and one, they'd have to have a catastrophic But
- 7:29Speaker 1: I think Washington's better. I think Washington quarterbacks better, Washingtons
- 7:32Speaker 1: running backs better, the wide receiver. Maybe it push, but
- 7:37Speaker 1: because I think Williams is better.
- 7:40Speaker 2: The channels, I think they're better.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And you know what, Ole Miss has left like they
- 7:45Speaker 1: got a nothing burger left the Citadel fun Florida win,
- 7:48Speaker 1: Mississippi State win.
- 7:50Speaker 3: They're in.
- 7:53Speaker 1: So there's a subjective nature to it. Yes, head to
- 7:56Speaker 1: head early in the season doesn't matter. Head to head
- 7:59Speaker 1: late in the season, does matter, and losses late in
- 8:03Speaker 1: the season do matter. Losses early in the season don't
- 8:05Speaker 1: matter if your name's Notre Dame and you got that brand.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Because there's no possible they should not be ahead of Miami.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Really's as simple as that they should not be ahead
- 8:14Speaker 1: of Miami, but they are. And there's a couple other
- 8:16Speaker 1: examples that as well. But I got Washington winning Saturday,
- 8:21Speaker 1: fact four nine, four or five to one. Let's go
- 8:23Speaker 1: all right. Corbyn Smith is coming up next, so again
- 8:27Speaker 1: I'm not hating on him, just saying, don't just sit
- 8:30Speaker 1: there and go, oh yeah, they're in at ten and two.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You better sure as hell better have Oregon when their
- 8:36Speaker 1: next win those two tough games that they've got before
- 8:38Speaker 1: they see you. And I don't think Washington's gonna stumble
- 8:42Speaker 1: against the slappies.
- 8:44Speaker 4: A have.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Wisconsin's a win. Ucla is a win, Produe is a win.
- 8:48Speaker 1: But you want Oregon to win. It's painful. I know,
- 8:52Speaker 1: makes you feel dirty, I get it, but that's what
- 8:54Speaker 1: you want to have happened.
- 8:56Speaker 5: It's time to take a deep dive into all things
- 8:59Speaker 5: Seahawks with Corbyn Smith, sports reporter for Emerald City Spectrum.

- 9:28Speaker 1: now on the website. We can get the film breakdown
- 9:30Speaker 1: how c X can unleash Rashid Shaheed and Clint Kubiak's
- 9:34Speaker 1: offense more there. Of course there's stuff on there about
- 9:37Speaker 1: the Kracking loss last night. We got in Mike Mason,
- 9:40Speaker 1: Marshmint struggles they are and trust me, they are struggles
- 9:43Speaker 1: right now. So I like that story so much. There,
- 9:46Speaker 1: go to emeral Cyspectrum dot com. I'll tell you how
- 9:48Speaker 1: to subscribe at the end. Hello Corbyn, how are you?
- 9:52Speaker 2: Oops? Let's get Corby. We get Corbyn there, let's see
- 9:56Speaker 2: there we go? Corbin?
- 9:57Speaker 6: You with me?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Now?
- 9:58Speaker 7: Yeah? I can you hear me?
- 9:59Speaker 2: I got buddy?
- 10:00Speaker 3: Here we go?
- 10:00Speaker 2: How are you, buddy? How are things?
- 10:03Speaker 8: I'm great, Thanks for having me as always.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Uh, won't even go bury the
- 10:08Speaker 1: lead or anything. Let's get to the trade deadline. Seattle
- 10:11Speaker 1: goes out and they pick up Rashid Shaheed for a
- 10:15Speaker 1: couple of draft picks. There are some that have some
- 10:18Speaker 1: consternation or that some think it's a great deal. Cooper
- 10:21Speaker 1: Cup doesn't appear to be going on the injured list,
- 10:23Speaker 1: so that part of the equations out to out of
- 10:25Speaker 1: the pitcher, you, what's your reaction?
- 10:28Speaker 2: You, what's your thoughts on the trade?
- 10:31Speaker 8: Interestingly, Ian, this is a name that Rob rang and
- 10:35Speaker 8: I had both floated about two weeks ago, and we
- 10:37Speaker 8: were looking at trade deadline possibilities because it did seem
- 10:41Speaker 8: like this was a receiving court.
- 10:43Speaker 7: As great as the passing game has been.
- 10:45Speaker 8: Jackson the jigbas got almost a thousand receiving yards. There
- 10:48Speaker 8: isn't another receiver in the team with more than two
- 10:51Speaker 8: hundred and ninety three. It just felt like on a
- 10:54Speaker 8: team that doesn't really have many glaring holes, if any,
- 11:00Speaker 8: it felt like, if they're gonna make a movie of
- 11:01Speaker 8: the deadline, it just might be a case, what's the
- 11:03Speaker 8: best deal we can get to get a good football
- 11:05Speaker 8: player that can just make us even better at a spot.
- 11:08Speaker 8: And Shied is a guy who has been extremely effective
- 11:13Speaker 8: with poor quarterback play this year. He's on pace for
- 11:16Speaker 8: over one thousand receiving yards this season with the Saints,
- 11:19Speaker 8: and we know who's been playing to be there. I mean,
- 11:21Speaker 8: he has not had good quarterback play with the one
- 11:24Speaker 8: in eight Saints, so he's going to be coming into
- 11:26Speaker 8: a much better situation with Sam Donald throwing the football
- 11:29Speaker 8: to him. One of the elite deep ball throwers, this
- 11:32Speaker 8: is one of the elite downfield vertical threats in the NFL.
- 11:36Speaker 8: In Quick Kubiek's offense last season, he was averaging almost
- 11:40Speaker 8: eighteen yards a catch when he suffered at torn meniscus
- 11:44Speaker 8: in Week six. He was just torching opposing defenses.
- 11:48Speaker 7: And he probably should have had four or five touchdowns
- 11:50Speaker 7: at forty plus yards.
- 11:51Speaker 8: Derek Carr missed badly on a couple of wide open opportunities,
- 11:56Speaker 8: he still had three long touchdown catches. Though he can
- 11:59Speaker 8: get involved in the run game with jet sweeps and
- 12:02Speaker 8: a rounds. He even had a toss sweep as a
- 12:04Speaker 8: running back out of the backfield last year in Kubek's offense.
- 12:07Speaker 7: So this is a guy.
- 12:08Speaker 8: That not only in special teams, can be a dynamic
- 12:11Speaker 8: playmaker on offense.
- 12:12Speaker 7: He is that.
- 12:13Speaker 8: Gadget piece that you can move all over the formation
- 12:16Speaker 8: and he forces the opposing defense to know where he's
- 12:19Speaker 8: at at all times. And when you have Jackson Smith
- 12:21Speaker 8: and Jagoba already in the field and Cory Horton already
- 12:24Speaker 8: on the field, the tight end Seattle's got it starts
- 12:27Speaker 8: to become an issue of Okay, I can't pay one
- 12:30Speaker 8: hundred percent attention like this to every single guy.
- 12:33Speaker 7: You got to start picking your poison.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Well, let me go. I'm gonna come back to the
- 12:38Speaker 1: receiving part of it in a second. If I could, Corbyn,
- 12:40Speaker 1: let me let me I think this is a part
- 12:42Speaker 1: of it that's that's maybe underrated. Let's talk about the
- 12:45Speaker 1: return game, because if Tory Horton is going to be
- 12:49Speaker 1: as involved as he was last week, especially if Cups
- 12:53Speaker 1: banged out up and now you get Rashid shahedin here too,
- 12:57Speaker 1: which you know, we'll see who's you know, truly one
- 12:59Speaker 1: two and we know who number one is, who two
- 13:01Speaker 1: and three are. But how important you think he is
- 13:04Speaker 1: he to the special teams?
- 13:06Speaker 8: Well, I expect he's gonna jump right in on kick return.
- 13:09Speaker 8: And we're talking about a guy that's got a first
- 13:12Speaker 8: team All Pro selection to his name that was as
- 13:14Speaker 8: a punt returner. But he has really good kick return
- 13:17Speaker 8: numbers to No by the way, FCS all time Division
- 13:22Speaker 8: one FCS leader with seven kick returns for touchdowns at
- 13:25Speaker 8: Weaver State. So the guy's got a track record of
- 13:28Speaker 8: being absolutely dynamic on kick returns.
- 13:32Speaker 7: He's got decent numbers in that regard. This year.
- 13:35Speaker 8: Drake Young is probably the most significant injury of the
- 13:37Speaker 8: three receivers Hel's got. We'll see if he ends up
- 13:40Speaker 8: going on IR if they just weight this process out
- 13:43Speaker 8: right now. But he was actually leading the NFL in
- 13:46Speaker 8: yards per turn on kickoffs before his injuries. So you're
- 13:50Speaker 8: going to slide Shaheed right in there, and he's going
- 13:52Speaker 8: to be taken over alongside George Hallatti. Those are gonna
- 13:55Speaker 8: be your two returners on kickoff now moving forward. So
- 13:59Speaker 8: he's going to play a role in that regard. He's
- 14:00Speaker 8: going to be your backup behind the Wharton on punt
- 14:02Speaker 8: return and then, obviously, as I said, all the different
- 14:05Speaker 8: things that he could do on the offensive side of
- 14:07Speaker 8: the ball in a system.
- 14:08Speaker 7: That he ought to be able.
- 14:09Speaker 8: I'm sure he crawled out of bed after his flight,
- 14:12Speaker 8: probably crawled out of bed. On Wednesday, he was like, oh,
- 14:14Speaker 8: I remember most of this from last year in terms
- 14:16Speaker 8: of verbage. You just don't see that very much of
- 14:18Speaker 8: the trade deadline.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to give a skill guy that you know,
- 14:21Speaker 1: normally got to learn an entire what new playbook and
- 14:24Speaker 1: verbage and all those types of things, He's probably going
- 14:26Speaker 1: to be able to slide right in there, I would assume.
- 14:28Speaker 8: On Sunday, Oh absolutely, And like he was saying yesterday, well,
- 14:32Speaker 8: there's a few things I'm gonna have to just kind
- 14:34Speaker 8: of basically got to jog my memory a little bit.
- 14:36Speaker 8: But he he is going to know this offense inside
- 14:39Speaker 8: and out. I mean, you just remember last year Ernest Jones
- 14:41Speaker 8: talking about the crash course he had to go through
- 14:43Speaker 8: on defense, playing like four days after he was acquired
- 14:47Speaker 8: from the Titans, and it took him a few games
- 14:49Speaker 8: to get his feet underneath him.
- 14:50Speaker 7: You shouldn't have that issue at all. For Shahe.
- 14:52Speaker 8: It shed to feel like, oh wait, it's the beginning
- 14:54Speaker 8: of the twenty twenty four season again, I'm just wearing
- 14:55Speaker 8: a different uniform and.
- 14:57Speaker 7: Kubiak's gonna got to use him.
- 14:59Speaker 8: Sam Da I think is going to know quickly how
- 15:01Speaker 8: to be able to get the football twin because of
- 15:03Speaker 8: his skills of the fact that he does know this offense.
- 15:05Speaker 8: That is really going to help get those guys up
- 15:07Speaker 8: to speed together much faster, because.
- 15:10Speaker 7: If it was a new offense, you got to go
- 15:12Speaker 7: through all that.
- 15:12Speaker 8: But since they're already going to have that verbiage down,
- 15:16Speaker 8: it should make it that much easier just to build
- 15:18Speaker 8: that connection with his new.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Target, Corbin Smith joining a Central City spectrum. All right,
- 15:22Speaker 1: how do you see the rotation working? Because this is
- 15:24Speaker 1: a team, if I'm not mistaken, very low volume of
- 15:28Speaker 1: three receiver sets, right.
- 15:30Speaker 8: Yeah, they're near the bottom of the league. It's I
- 15:33Speaker 8: believe thirty six percent is what I saw when I
- 15:36Speaker 8: looked at it a couple of days ago.
- 15:38Speaker 7: I'm expecting that's going to go up.
- 15:40Speaker 8: A little bit with this You're going to see more
- 15:42Speaker 8: three receivers. That's gonna be more where it was at
- 15:44Speaker 8: with the stage with Kubiak last year where they were a.
- 15:47Speaker 7: Little higher than that.
- 15:48Speaker 8: Not they're going to get away from their you know,
- 15:50Speaker 8: heavy packages because that is a huge part of.
- 15:52Speaker 7: Point Kubiak's offense.
- 15:54Speaker 8: But I think your number one and your number two
- 15:56Speaker 8: receivers are going to be JSN and Shaheed.
- 15:59Speaker 7: I think those are the top two guys.
- 16:01Speaker 8: I think Cooper Cup, win healthy, he and Horton are
- 16:04Speaker 8: both going to get quite a few reps as that
- 16:06Speaker 8: third receiver. And you might see Shaheed play some out
- 16:10Speaker 8: of the backfield too. As I mentioned, that's something that
- 16:12Speaker 8: Kubiak did last year too, So that might impact Walker
- 16:16Speaker 8: and Charboney's reps just a teeny bit. It's and we're
- 16:18Speaker 8: not talking more than a couple snaps a game, but
- 16:22Speaker 8: I would anticipate Shaheed is not being brought in to
- 16:24Speaker 8: be a third or fourth wheel. He is going to
- 16:26Speaker 8: be the number two guy. With his explosiveness and his versatility,
- 16:30Speaker 8: it just makes me, It does make me wonder what
- 16:33Speaker 8: we're looking at beyond it this year with somebody like
- 16:35Speaker 8: Cooper Cup whose contract has fairly easy outs.
- 16:38Speaker 7: Because I think Shaheed is.
- 16:39Speaker 8: A guy much younger, much more athletic, He's probably going
- 16:43Speaker 8: to be the guy they're going to be wanting to
- 16:45Speaker 8: get a long term contract with, especially after giving up
- 16:47Speaker 8: two draft picks for it.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Where does Tory Horton fit into this because we just
- 16:50Speaker 1: see the you know, he had four catches forty eight yards.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Of course someone skewed by a twenty five yard touchdown,
- 16:56Speaker 1: but the two touchdowns as well, we're starting to see
- 16:58Speaker 1: glimpses of Tory Horton. Does this stunt his growth and
- 17:01Speaker 1: involvement at all?
- 17:04Speaker 7: I don't think so.
- 17:04Speaker 8: I mean, I'm I'm gonna be honest with you, Ian,
- 17:06Speaker 8: like when the trade first went there thought, even when
- 17:08Speaker 8: Cooper Cup's healthy, I'm wondering how many snaps is gonna
- 17:11Speaker 8: be getting. And I'm still kind of hitting my head
- 17:15Speaker 8: against the wall a little bit trying to think how
- 17:17Speaker 8: they're gonna make that work if he's gonna still be
- 17:19Speaker 8: getting a lot of reps because Tory Horton, his ability
- 17:22Speaker 8: to stretch the field and what he does on kick
- 17:24Speaker 8: returns stuff. I just have a feeling that this is
- 17:28Speaker 8: gonna be one of those instances where Cooper Cup's gonna
- 17:32Speaker 8: be a high priced backup that's gonna come in some
- 17:34Speaker 8: to help with the run game of his blocking.
- 17:36Speaker 7: He's gonna get some snaps.
- 17:37Speaker 8: But I just I don't know how the Seahawks can
- 17:40Speaker 8: justify taking Horton off the field and having those other
- 17:43Speaker 8: two guys out there, somebody's gotta come out. So Cups
- 17:46Speaker 8: probably the one that you're looking at is kinda have
- 17:48Speaker 8: the toughest time, and maybe him being out a few
- 17:50Speaker 8: weeks isn't gonna be a bad thing necessarily and helps
- 17:53Speaker 8: facilitate this deal, this trade happening to begin with.
- 17:57Speaker 1: You know what, it sounds like, Corbin, we're talking about
- 17:59Speaker 1: a Mike leech air offense because all this is based
- 18:02Speaker 1: on the fact they still can't run the football right.
- 18:05Speaker 8: Well, what you're hoping is that this is going to
- 18:08Speaker 8: mean the Seahawks are still in the top three for
- 18:10Speaker 8: the most loaded boxes that they're facing in the run game.
- 18:14Speaker 8: At some point you would think these defenses are gonna
- 18:17Speaker 8: start adjusting, like, Okay, we're tired of Jackson Smith and
- 18:20Speaker 8: Jig but torching us.
- 18:21Speaker 7: And oh, by the way, now they've got another guy
- 18:22Speaker 7: with four three speed over there in Shieed. They can
- 18:25Speaker 7: take the top of a defense.
- 18:26Speaker 8: At some point they're going to have to start playing
- 18:28Speaker 8: lighter boxes.
- 18:30Speaker 7: But then the Seahawks can.
- 18:31Speaker 8: Probably get their run game going, and you're like, okay,
- 18:33Speaker 8: what do I do here? And Mike McDonald was saying
- 18:36Speaker 8: yesterday that this move wasn't made to dictate what the
- 18:38Speaker 8: defense they're doing. But I find that hard to believe
- 18:42Speaker 8: that that wasn't part of the discussion here, because when
- 18:44Speaker 8: you have two receivers, three receivers really with Tory Horton
- 18:48Speaker 8: that can hit home runs downfield like that, the amount
- 18:52Speaker 8: of stress that it puts on an opposing play caller
- 18:54Speaker 8: and the limitations it does for how you can defend
- 18:57Speaker 8: the run. You gotta believe if they can't run against this,
- 19:00Speaker 8: then you know this is their best opportunity. Then you've
- 19:03Speaker 8: got to be worried if they can't run against lighter boxes,
- 19:06Speaker 8: because I think teams are going to have to make
- 19:08Speaker 8: that adjustment or Sam Darnold's just going to keep picking
- 19:11Speaker 8: them apart downfield with the weapons that he now has
- 19:14Speaker 8: at his disposal.
- 19:16Speaker 1: What do you think of the compensation and all the
- 19:19Speaker 1: context being you know, fourth and a fifth round. Okay,
- 19:22Speaker 1: So Tory Horton, Robbie oots fifth rounders this past season,
- 19:25Speaker 1: a J. Barner and Tyrese Knight fourth rounders a year before.
- 19:29Speaker 1: For what it's worth, Anthony Bradford a fourth rounder, Mike
- 19:32Speaker 1: Morris on the team a fourth rounder, ol with Timmy
- 19:34Speaker 1: a fifth rounder Kobe Bryant, a starter, a fourth rounder
- 19:38Speaker 1: Riek Will and a starter basically a fifth rounder Trey
- 19:41Speaker 1: Brown in the draft that they just didn't care about
- 19:44Speaker 1: was a starter for many games for them as well.
- 19:46Speaker 1: I could go on for a while. You know that
- 19:48Speaker 1: Kobe Parkinson good player now still in the NFL, et cetera,
- 19:51Speaker 1: et cetera. So what do you say about the compensation
- 19:54Speaker 1: for this guy who's got an expiring contract.
- 19:57Speaker 8: Well, my understanding and she he talked about this some
- 20:01Speaker 8: yesterday too. My understanding from sources that I talked to
- 20:04Speaker 8: immediately after the news broke about this trades that they
- 20:08Speaker 8: were making this trade with the viewpoint that Rashid Shaheed
- 20:12Speaker 8: is going to be part of this.
- 20:13Speaker 7: Team well beyond this year. They want him to be.
- 20:16Speaker 8: A foundational piece through JSN and Tory Horton in this
- 20:19Speaker 8: passing game, and so giving up a fourth and a fifth,
- 20:22Speaker 8: they are willing to do that.
- 20:24Speaker 7: And John Snyder really likes to make trades like this.
- 20:27Speaker 7: He I mean, think about it.
- 20:27Speaker 8: I mean, Lennon Williams and Ernest Jones were both on
- 20:30Speaker 8: expiring and he didn't worry about getting them extended when
- 20:34Speaker 8: the trade happened, we'll just figure it out after the season,
- 20:37Speaker 8: go earn it. And so that's what they're going to
- 20:39Speaker 8: be doing here with Shahed. Hey play the way we
- 20:41Speaker 8: think you're going to play in this offense, and you're
- 20:43Speaker 8: going to be compensated.
- 20:44Speaker 7: You're going to be part of our future on offense.
- 20:47Speaker 7: So I look a fourth and a fifth.
- 20:50Speaker 8: I understand all those names being thrown out there, but
- 20:54Speaker 8: you know you're getting another guy that was on pace
- 20:56Speaker 8: for a thousand receiving yards, that the dynamite kick and
- 20:59Speaker 8: punt or can run the football. They were originally getting
- 21:04Speaker 8: asked for a third round pick. This is a good
- 21:06Speaker 8: compromise giving him a fourth and a fifth. If you
- 21:09Speaker 8: lose him as a rental, then it looks expensive if
- 21:11Speaker 8: you resign him after the season, though, that a fourth
- 21:14Speaker 8: and a fifth round pick, especially this upcoming draft, Ian,
- 21:17Speaker 8: this might be the worst draft I've seen since twenty
- 21:20Speaker 8: thirteen in terms of overall talent. If you don't have
- 21:24Speaker 8: a fourth and a fifth rounder this year, probably not
- 21:27Speaker 8: as big of a deal as it would have been,
- 21:28Speaker 8: say last year, where there was a lot more talent.
- 21:31Speaker 8: In the Day three of the draft, I don't think
- 21:34Speaker 8: you're going to see anything like that in this year's class.
- 21:37Speaker 1: That's a good tease for my guy. Rob rang your
- 21:39Speaker 1: buddy as well tomorrow on our show, because I was
- 21:41Speaker 1: going to ask I was gonna go down that road
- 21:42Speaker 1: with him, is like, Okay, they just gave this up, Rob,
- 21:45Speaker 1: fourth and fifth? Is it that big of a deal
- 21:47Speaker 1: this coming draft? And you're telling me, I know, part
- 21:49Speaker 1: of it is you talked to Rob all the time.
- 21:51Speaker 1: You guys have that discussion, right, this is if that's
- 21:53Speaker 1: the case, you know, I think there's this feeling sometimes,
- 21:57Speaker 1: Corbyn that all drafts are created the same, and the
- 22:00Speaker 1: only way they're not the same is because it's based
- 22:02Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks available, et cetera.
- 22:05Speaker 2: But drafts go far.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Deeper than one position, as you well know some drafts,
- 22:08Speaker 1: some drafts are fine, some drafts aren't. And if these
- 22:11Speaker 1: got I'm sure that came into play with John Schneider
- 22:14Speaker 1: right saying, hey, I don't need this draft capital this
- 22:16Speaker 1: year as much, and oh, by the way, if I
- 22:18Speaker 1: change my mind, I'm John Schneider and I've always found
- 22:21Speaker 1: a way to get as many draft picks as I
- 22:22Speaker 1: want anyway.
- 22:24Speaker 8: Exactly, and this could be a draft where in the
- 22:28Speaker 8: early rounds you might be.
- 22:29Speaker 7: Able to get more in return trading back.
- 22:32Speaker 8: Just because the talent is going to dry out quicker,
- 22:34Speaker 8: so teams are going to be more desperate to get
- 22:36Speaker 8: into those top sixty to ninety picks to try to
- 22:39Speaker 8: get players before Day three. It's just not a draft
- 22:43Speaker 8: that has a lot of depth at very many positions.
- 22:46Speaker 8: And Seattle is going to be going into this offseason
- 22:49Speaker 8: with quite a bit of money available. They're going to
- 22:51Speaker 8: have some extensions obviously they need to sign, but they're
- 22:54Speaker 8: going to be in a position if they want to
- 22:56Speaker 8: plug some holes in free agency that they will be
- 22:58Speaker 8: able to do that too. So every year is different,
- 23:02Speaker 8: and I think this is It's not as bad as
- 23:04Speaker 8: the year that they drafted three players where John Schneider
- 23:06Speaker 8: basically punted the entire draft, but I think this year's
- 23:10Speaker 8: class in terms of talent is nowhere near as good
- 23:13Speaker 8: and deep as we've seen the last.
- 23:14Speaker 7: Couple of years.
- 23:16Speaker 1: Corbus Fitch joining a central C spectrum the let's let's
- 23:20Speaker 1: get into the game this week, and that would be
- 23:22Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, who, for whatever reason sore foot or
- 23:25Speaker 1: not Kyler Murray. It's I mean, that's just a gong
- 23:28Speaker 1: show there isn't it, Corbyin I mean, they're just a
- 23:30Speaker 1: they're a dumpster fire when they when they've invest all
- 23:32Speaker 1: that money in the quarterback, he's obviously not their quarterback.
- 23:34Speaker 1: They're going ja Kobe Brissett. Seattle's going to take advantage
- 23:37Speaker 1: this week, don't they.
- 23:40Speaker 7: Well, you know.
- 23:41Speaker 8: I'm gonna say what I said Unlocked on Seahawks with
- 23:43Speaker 8: my Locked on Cardinals co host yesterday. This team scares
- 23:48Speaker 8: me more without Kyler Murray under center. Like I just
- 23:51Speaker 8: I'm just being honest with you. They do not scare
- 23:53Speaker 8: me with Kyler Murray, but I think he is a
- 23:56Speaker 8: fairly easy quarterback to put a game plan together for.
- 23:59Speaker 8: And see Sattle has mastered that. The last two coaching staffs,
- 24:02Speaker 8: I mean, Ben the Pete Carroll's tenure, they were shutting
- 24:05Speaker 8: him down. I think Jacoby Brissett, they're going to be
- 24:08Speaker 8: able to attack the entire field a lot more than
- 24:11Speaker 8: what they were with Kyler Murray. With that being said,
- 24:14Speaker 8: he's not near the athlete and he's been sacked a lot,
- 24:17Speaker 8: So can the front line keep that going and make
- 24:20Speaker 8: it that Brissett doesn't have time to get the ball downfield.
- 24:23Speaker 8: I mean he's averaged almost two yards more per attempt
- 24:25Speaker 8: than what Kyler Murray was. Since he took over as
- 24:28Speaker 8: a starter, you're seeing more from their skill guys because
- 24:31Speaker 8: of that. Could he get that pressure on Jacoby Brissett,
- 24:34Speaker 8: because if he can do that, one of the reasons
- 24:36Speaker 8: he has never made it as a starter in this
- 24:38Speaker 8: league is because he's had issues with strip sacks and fumbles.
- 24:41Speaker 8: If they can get back there and punch the ball out,
- 24:44Speaker 8: I think that you could get some quick changes and
- 24:46Speaker 8: this thing to get out of hand. At the same time,
- 24:48Speaker 8: it's a Cardinals team that's lost a lot of games
- 24:50Speaker 8: by narrow margins, and I think they're a lot better
- 24:53Speaker 8: than their three and five records suggested, and they just
- 24:55Speaker 8: look like they're playing better with the other quarterback in
- 24:58Speaker 8: This really does feel like there Car in Vegas and
- 25:01Speaker 8: Russell Wilson Denver, where you know they're lucky in the sense,
- 25:04Speaker 8: well we do those two other situations, they didn't have
- 25:07Speaker 8: injuries that they can lean on. Now, well, Kyler Murray's hurt,
- 25:09Speaker 8: we can we could use that as our top out.
- 25:11Speaker 8: Why we're not playing him anymore. That's really what it
- 25:14Speaker 8: feels like in Arizona.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Now what worries you defensively for the Seahawks. For with
- 25:20Speaker 1: Gannon's team, a lot this.
- 25:23Speaker 8: Is a this is a defense is gonna look a
- 25:25Speaker 8: lot different than the Week four matchup, And mainly Walter Nolan,
- 25:29Speaker 8: the rookie out of Ole Myth up front. That scares
- 25:34Speaker 8: me from a a now an analyst standpoint, because he's
- 25:37Speaker 8: extremely athletic, He's a penetrator. Dallas had a lot of
- 25:41Speaker 8: trouble keeping him away from Dak Prescott on Monday night,
- 25:45Speaker 8: and Dallas had one of the most explosive offenses of
- 25:47Speaker 8: the league. Big reason they couldn't put points to the
- 25:49Speaker 8: board was because of him. They've got Will Johnson back,
- 25:52Speaker 8: their second rounder out of Michigan at corner.
- 25:55Speaker 7: He's playing good football. He did not play in that.
- 25:57Speaker 8: First matchup, so they're just a lot healthier and they've
- 26:00Speaker 8: got a lot of weapons on that defense. And don't
- 26:03Speaker 8: forget about the seventy five year old Kalayis Campbell.
- 26:06Speaker 7: The guy can still play. It's absolutely incredible Ian. That
- 26:10Speaker 7: guy has been in the league.
- 26:12Speaker 8: He's basically been in the league since I was in
- 26:14Speaker 8: divers and the guy just continues to play at a
- 26:18Speaker 8: high level. I have the ultimate respect for the way
- 26:20Speaker 8: that he does things, and he always hurts the Seahawks.
- 26:24Speaker 8: So I think that defense that's probably the thing that
- 26:27Speaker 8: tells me Arizona can hang in this game. The most
- 26:29Speaker 8: is their defense, and if their offense doesn't have as
- 26:32Speaker 8: many turnovers as Kyler Murray has had the last several
- 26:34Speaker 8: times they've played the Seahawks, then they get a chance
- 26:37Speaker 8: to make this game very interesting.
- 26:38Speaker 7: On Sunday.
- 26:39Speaker 2: It's rarely easy.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Last week against Washington where of those rare easy Seahawks games,
- 26:43Speaker 1: usually it's a little bit of a grind. We'll see,
- 26:45Speaker 1: and I have a feeling you're right it's going to
- 26:46Speaker 1: end up being that way as well, especially since I
- 26:48Speaker 1: don't know they're playing without the home field advantage because
- 26:51Speaker 1: they're home the Seahawks, that is, as opposed to the
- 26:53Speaker 1: place they'e went ten straight on the road along the way.

- 28:46Speaker 1: Well, we can no longer say the Cracking are unbeaten
- 28:48Speaker 1: it home. I got Travis Smog you to run that
- 28:50Speaker 1: game last night, didn't you. My apologies that was That
- 28:53Speaker 1: was not good, buddy, That was not good. Six to one,
- 28:56Speaker 1: the final of Sharks knockoff. The Kraken Sharks scored just
- 28:59Speaker 1: over minute into the game and they put it away
- 29:02Speaker 1: with a goal just over a minute into the third period.
- 29:05Speaker 1: It was easily Seattle's worst game of the year. I
- 29:09Speaker 1: think in some ways their worst effort of the year
- 29:11Speaker 1: as well. Just didn't have it last night. Too many
- 29:14Speaker 1: passengers on that train and the result was a young
- 29:18Speaker 1: team in San Jose came into town and gave them
- 29:21Speaker 1: a beatdown at Climate Pledgerina. Next up for the Crack
- 29:25Speaker 1: and they'll take on Saint Louis and Dallas back to
- 29:28Speaker 1: back game Saturday and Sunday on the road. All those games,
- 29:31Speaker 1: well see Saturday's game will be over on nine to
- 29:33Speaker 1: fifty and then Sunday's game right here on nine three
- 29:35Speaker 1: point three KTERFM, Jay and schwartz were the leaders on
- 29:37Speaker 1: this team. He got caught Mike Benton caught up with
- 29:40Speaker 1: him after what I heard was not a very pleasant
- 29:43Speaker 1: practice today at Climate Pledgerina.
- 29:45Speaker 3: Here he is, well, Schwartzky, first off, after last night.
- 29:48Speaker 9: What was Urina as far as how expectations for this
- 29:50Speaker 9: morning met what you saw today in practice?
- 29:52Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, it wasn't good enough
- 29:56Speaker 10: and pretty much every area, so we all know that
- 30:01Speaker 10: everywhere from the zone to execution, to checking to just
- 30:05Speaker 10: making plays with the puck. So you know, unfortunately you're
- 30:09Speaker 10: going to get those games a few times a year.
- 30:11Speaker 10: You don't want that, obviously, you know you're trying to
- 30:13Speaker 10: win every game, but those games happen, and if you
- 30:17Speaker 10: can learn from them and you know, realize what you
- 30:21Speaker 10: did wrong and get better because of it, it could make
- 30:23Speaker 10: you better in the long run and just make you know,
- 30:25Speaker 10: if you're not hungry in this league, from the start
- 30:26Speaker 10: of the game. If you're not working and playing your systems,
- 30:31Speaker 10: it doesn't matter who you play or you're probably not
- 30:32Speaker 10: going to win.
- 30:33Speaker 7: So just a bit of a wake up call.
- 30:36Speaker 10: And you know, we got a great chance to get
- 30:38Speaker 10: back at her here in a couple of days.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a wake up call among other things.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Yesterday you're going to have those games, and you're going
- 30:48Speaker 1: to have you know, and you're going to have those
- 30:51Speaker 1: games along the way. I get it, And honestly, just
- 30:55Speaker 1: from business standpoint, you hope it's on the road.
- 30:58Speaker 2: But yeah, that was that was a clunker last night.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Joey wasn't great, but frankly, he didn't have much of
- 31:04Speaker 1: a chance on I don't think any of the goals.
- 31:06Speaker 1: It just was the power play was zero for six.
- 31:09Speaker 2: That's bad. And they've been good lately.
- 31:13Speaker 1: They made the goaltend of the young Russian kid Askarov
- 31:15Speaker 1: look pretty good. And I don't know, I mean, he's okay,
- 31:18Speaker 1: I don't think he's that good. So if they just
- 31:19Speaker 1: had a night they did change some lines today, they
- 31:21Speaker 1: made some moves, they did some things. They got Copo
- 31:25Speaker 1: Cocko back. I believe with Everly and beneers if I'm
- 31:28Speaker 1: not mistaken and move some guys around. So we'll we'll
- 31:32Speaker 1: see what happens on Saturday. But it's it was not good.
- 31:35Speaker 1: It's kind of cool for a while to say, hey,
- 31:37Speaker 1: unbeating at home in regulation. That was nice while it lasted.
- 31:39Speaker 1: But next up again those two games this weekend. They're
- 31:41Speaker 1: back home on Tuesday to take on Columbus and then

- 31:57Speaker 1: last night six to one as well by Washington.
- 32:00Speaker 2: That was on the road.
- 32:01Speaker 1: By the way, Washington's Alexander of Vechkin scored is nine
- 32:04Speaker 1: hundredth career goal. Never thought, never ever thought I would
- 32:08Speaker 1: see that happen.

- 34:24Speaker 11: own this week, but here we go.
- 34:26Speaker 6: Okay, Fortunately Cincinnati and Dallas's defenses are off this week,
- 34:32Speaker 6: which is going to be a bummer for a lot
- 34:33Speaker 6: of fans.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Exactly easy points there. So all right, what do you got, Mike.
- 34:39Speaker 11: Yep full PPR. I need one running back and one
- 34:43Speaker 11: wide receiver out of these five guys, Romeo Dobbs, Ashton Genty,
- 34:49Speaker 11: David Montgomery, Stefan Diggs or Carlos Courtland Sutton and thanks
- 34:54Speaker 11: as always.
- 34:55Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 34:56Speaker 6: Just one running back at one receiver. Okay, I'm gonna go.
- 34:59Speaker 6: I'm gonna go ahead, Courtland Sutton tonight the matchup against
- 35:02Speaker 6: the Raiders gonna be a positive for him. And then yeah,
- 35:06Speaker 6: I'm just gonna follow the volume and it's gonna be
- 35:09Speaker 6: another one in this game tonight and go with Ashton
- 35:11Speaker 6: Genty over Montgomery. So yeah, I mean, I just you know,
- 35:16Speaker 6: Gent's gonna have a chance to catch a decent amount
- 35:18Speaker 6: of balls tonight too, I think.
- 35:20Speaker 1: Okay, there we go, love it all right, Well, okay,
- 35:22Speaker 1: we get the band back together. By the way, it
- 35:24Speaker 1: opens up a line two oh six two eight six
- 35:25Speaker 1: ninety five ninety five, we get the band back together.
- 35:28Speaker 2: I don't know where he was last week.
- 35:29Speaker 1: It threw us all off, but he's back head down
- 35:32Speaker 1: to the two five three in Tacoma.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Ricky and Tacoma. What's up, Ricky? What's up, buddy?
- 35:37Speaker 12: I try to tell him while people at work. You know,
- 35:39Speaker 12: I know I need to train, but fantasy is more
- 35:41Speaker 12: so important.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Damn right and we Hey, do those guys not know
- 35:46Speaker 1: that they that we depend on Ricky and Tacoma being
- 35:48Speaker 1: caller number two every week at this time.
- 35:51Speaker 12: I try to let him know the Mike Trout is
- 35:53Speaker 12: the number two is great.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Exactly exactly exactly, all right, what.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Do you go?
- 36:00Speaker 12: All right, Brandon, I got three three guys here. I
- 36:03Speaker 12: need the best one standard scoring flex spot.
- 36:06Speaker 7: I have r J.
- 36:07Speaker 12: Harvey, you know tonight, Kristin Watson and Tuba Hubbard. I
- 36:13Speaker 12: need the best one out of those three, you know,
- 36:15Speaker 12: standard scoring.
- 36:16Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just uh, you know, Rico Dawdle has has
- 36:19Speaker 6: literally has taken over, just taking that spot away from
- 36:22Speaker 6: Chuba Hubbard in Carolina. So I'm going to go ahead
- 36:26Speaker 6: and go with R. J. Harvey's He got a ton
- 36:28Speaker 6: of touchdown LUCKI lately. But I think he's going to
- 36:30Speaker 6: get a little bit more, a few more touches tonight
- 36:32Speaker 6: as well. So, but they seem to design plays for
- 36:35Speaker 6: him specifically each game, multiple ones, and it's been working
- 36:39Speaker 6: into touchdowns. So in standard scoring, you got to chase
- 36:42Speaker 6: those touchdowns.
- 36:43Speaker 1: There you go, all right, Ricky, thank you. Good to
- 36:45Speaker 1: have you back. Ricky, Good to have Ricky back.
- 36:47Speaker 2: All right.
- 36:48Speaker 1: He was mentioned early as he always is, two six
- 36:50Speaker 1: two six ninety to jump the phones, Rob and Burien, Hi, rob.
- 36:58Speaker 9: My cold black heart great, and then I can beat
- 37:00Speaker 9: a guy that's two guys on a.
- 37:01Speaker 6: Bye oh yes, absentees owners at this time of year
- 37:09Speaker 6: is nice.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Oh gosh, that's perfect.
- 37:12Speaker 9: I'll take it.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Wow.
- 37:14Speaker 1: So Rob's upbeat and Brandon's down again. The world we're
- 37:17Speaker 1: living in right now makes absolutely no sense to me,
- 37:19Speaker 1: but we we move on, all right, Rob, what do
- 37:21Speaker 1: you got there?
- 37:22Speaker 2: Buddy?
- 37:23Speaker 9: And three of these five guys so Deebo, Dobbs Kittle,
- 37:28Speaker 9: Trey Tucker and Rashad Shahid.
- 37:32Speaker 6: Rashid Shaheed Trey Tucker. I'm gonna go with the first three.
- 37:35Speaker 6: I like Shaheed and they know he has you know
- 37:38Speaker 6: it has some nice experience in last year with Kubiak,
- 37:42Speaker 6: but probably want to wait a game. But I love
- 37:45Speaker 6: to pick up for the Seahawks. But for this week,
- 37:47Speaker 6: like the way Dobbs is playing, Dobbs and Deebo are
- 37:49Speaker 6: gonna should get the majority of targets. Remember, Tucker Craft
- 37:54Speaker 6: is out for for Green Bay now and everybody else
- 37:57Speaker 6: seems to be banged up, so it should be a
- 37:58Speaker 6: lot of work for Dobbs, same for Tebo as well.
- 38:01Speaker 1: All right, perfect, that's Rob and Burien again. What kind
- 38:04Speaker 1: of alternate universe are we living in Funston? That's all
- 38:06Speaker 1: I want to know. Let's see we go to Oh yeah,
- 38:09Speaker 1: we got to do the Sultan two step as always,
- 38:12Speaker 1: Steven and Sultan your first stuff?
- 38:14Speaker 2: What do you got? Steven?
- 38:18Speaker 7: Last week is over? I only lost crowd Daniels.
- 38:21Speaker 13: You know, so Mayfield that was on a buy at
- 38:23Speaker 13: leave he couldn't get injured.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I feel your pain, buddy, I feel your We all
- 38:28Speaker 1: feel your pain. We all share that same pain this year,
- 38:31Speaker 1: trust me.
- 38:33Speaker 13: So it's a two part question. I need to drop
- 38:35Speaker 13: one of these guys because I have to pick them. Why,
- 38:36Speaker 13: you see, if I only have a four man bench,
- 38:39Speaker 13: Cup McLaurin, Brion Thomas Junior to drop for either a
- 38:45Speaker 13: doomsday or.
- 38:50Speaker 6: You can you're able to pick up a doomsday.
- 38:53Speaker 13: Yeah, somebody dropped him.
- 38:54Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 38:55Speaker 13: We only have a four man bench, so it's a
- 38:57Speaker 13: very hard with buys you get, you have to drop players.
- 39:01Speaker 6: Yeah, I know Donsey has been up and down, but
- 39:03Speaker 6: it's been a bit of a you know, it's been
- 39:04Speaker 6: a bit of matchup based and all that. But man,
- 39:07Speaker 6: he has got such a great match up against the
- 39:09Speaker 6: Still he's still a top twenty wide receiver overall. He
- 39:12Speaker 6: belongs on a roster, So go for a doonsay, and
- 39:14Speaker 6: I'd play him this week.
- 39:15Speaker 2: For sure, and drop cup? Is that you said?
- 39:16Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 39:17Speaker 6: Absolutely?
- 39:17Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, that makes sense.
- 39:19Speaker 1: All right, that's one half of the Sultan two step
- 39:21Speaker 1: the other half of the Sultan. Sultan two step Derek
- 39:24Speaker 1: and Sultan. What's up, Derek?
- 39:28Speaker 12: What's anybody?
- 39:31Speaker 1: All?
- 39:32Speaker 4: Right?
- 39:32Speaker 14: Here?
- 39:33Speaker 2: Here we go.
- 39:33Speaker 14: I need two of these four between Romeo Dobbs, Trey Henderson,
- 39:42Speaker 14: De Marcado and uh ken Walker. And you know, I
- 39:47Speaker 14: don't want to sit him, but I feel like ken
- 39:49Speaker 14: Walker's got to sit. But then he's gonna go off
- 39:51Speaker 14: if I sit him.
- 39:51Speaker 12: So yeah, I would play.
- 39:53Speaker 6: Yeah, I would play Dobbs and I would play Ken Walker.
- 39:57Speaker 6: And you know, Walker was just against the Cardinals last
- 39:59Speaker 6: last time. I'm he's also he also picked up some
- 40:03Speaker 6: goal line work last week. That could be a changing
- 40:05Speaker 6: in the guard there.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Oh, he's not.
- 40:08Speaker 6: Going to be Charbonnay automatically anymore, so that will help
- 40:10Speaker 6: us upside a little bit.
- 40:11Speaker 1: It's all right, perfect, isn't it? The charbonn a Walker.
- 40:14Speaker 1: Isn't that like the Pacheco?
- 40:16Speaker 2: Uh? What's unting?
- 40:19Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a great way to put it. I mean,
- 40:21Speaker 6: I mean, I'd like to think it's a little bit
- 40:22Speaker 6: more of an upper middle class version of that. But
- 40:26Speaker 6: you know, it's kind of been. It's been some meager
- 40:28Speaker 6: weeks for those guys lately, so hopefully you know, it's
- 40:31Speaker 6: a point emphasis this week.
- 40:32Speaker 1: All right, we've got time for another phone caller to
- 40:34Speaker 1: two O six two eight six ninety five ninety five
- 40:36Speaker 1: six two eight six ninety five ninety five. Let's get
- 40:39Speaker 1: Kyle and eat him. Call up next. What's up Kyle?
- 40:43Speaker 4: Oh God, I don't know why I do this to
- 40:45Speaker 4: myself every year. So I'm benched Jagans last week because
- 40:52Speaker 4: my Manungu for Manunga and I'm like, why am am
- 40:56Speaker 4: I doing that?
- 40:57Speaker 7: Now?
- 40:58Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I mean, yeah, I mean the touchdowns
- 41:02Speaker 6: are worth more, but I mean you can't argue the
- 41:04Speaker 6: you know, the process of getting the guy that went
- 41:06Speaker 6: for like one hundred and seventy rushing yards, so you know,
- 41:08Speaker 6: it's yeah, it's uh you know.
- 41:11Speaker 4: But uh, okay, my question. So I'm on a buy
- 41:17Speaker 4: hell a week anyway, But do you know what's up
- 41:20Speaker 4: with DJ Moore? Is he gonna play?
- 41:22Speaker 6: Yeah? He was. Let's see, he was a limited practice today,
- 41:26Speaker 6: which is great for a Thursday to have a limited practice,
- 41:29Speaker 6: So he's he's looking good. Didn't say it was limited
- 41:31Speaker 6: as well. But as far as I know, both of
- 41:33Speaker 6: those guys are trending towards playing.
- 41:36Speaker 4: Okay, and then I need to well I don't need one,
- 41:39Speaker 4: but I got a bunch of tight ends. So Juwan Johnson,
- 41:44Speaker 4: god he or the other what's the rookie from Chicago?
- 41:52Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean those are all good options. Have
- 41:55Speaker 6: him all in the top twelve tight ends. I just
- 41:57Speaker 6: have got her. Uh number one is the best. Green
- 42:00Speaker 6: Bay has been generous to the tight end and fantasy
- 42:03Speaker 6: and god her has just been a touchdown got a
- 42:06Speaker 6: touchdown machine. So I have got it a little bit ahead.
- 42:08Speaker 7: I'll go with Gotard.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Thank you, Thanks Kyle. That's Kyle and Ingham.
- 42:13Speaker 1: QUI right, I got grief last week, if if we
- 42:15Speaker 1: might get another phone caller two in two six two
- 42:16Speaker 1: eight six ninety five ninety five. But I got a
- 42:18Speaker 1: little grief last week because we didn't get enough text
- 42:20Speaker 1: in people texting in and all that.
- 42:21Speaker 2: I get that.
- 42:22Speaker 1: I don't understand what they're doing. It's it's hard because, frankly,
- 42:25Speaker 1: you know we have people calling in or texting in
- 42:27Speaker 1: right away, as you know, Funston right at one pm.
- 42:31Speaker 1: And I got a refresh here, so bear with me this.
- 42:34Speaker 1: I am actually doing that.
- 42:35Speaker 6: You got someone hit the number exactly.
- 42:37Speaker 1: I'm refreshing right now, and I'll let you know here
- 42:39Speaker 1: in two seconds because I believe we were close. Hang on,
- 42:43Speaker 1: move scroll down, all right, not one hundred percent? Okay,
- 42:47Speaker 1: we got a whole bunch of oh no, yes, yes, yes,
- 42:51Speaker 1: yes from the three six zero area code Fundston. All right,
- 42:56Speaker 1: final four numbers are three, five, seven to two on
- 42:59Speaker 1: that phone number. But nicely done. A bang on bull's
- 43:02Speaker 1: eye and he's got a tight end. Question Kyle Pitts
- 43:05Speaker 1: or Evan Ingram.
- 43:07Speaker 6: Uh Yeah, definitely, Kyle Pitts good matchup. Indie has been
- 43:10Speaker 6: generous and Evan Ingram has just not been working out
- 43:12Speaker 6: in that Broncos offense.
- 43:14Speaker 1: This is an amazing phenomenon. Honestly, every like that's the
- 43:18Speaker 1: only bulls eye. But the amount of guys that got
- 43:20Speaker 1: text in or women whatever at one second after is remarkable.
- 43:26Speaker 1: People are sick four two five, need one Herbert, Goff
- 43:29Speaker 1: or Pennix.
- 43:31Speaker 6: Let's go with justin Herbert against the Steelers.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Full PPR need three Flowers Dobbs, Swift, Goddard or genty
- 43:41Speaker 1: Flowers Dobbs, Swift, Goddard, genty need.
- 43:44Speaker 6: Three so Flowers genty and yeah, I'm gonna go Swift.
- 43:49Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be a platoon. But it's such
- 43:51Speaker 6: a good it's such a good matchup against the Giants.
- 43:53Speaker 2: Swift's another one of those teasers, isn't he like.
- 43:56Speaker 6: Well, he was doing great and then he then he
- 43:58Speaker 6: got knocked out for a week, but he full practice today,
- 44:02Speaker 6: so he should be back. But sounds like it's gonna
- 44:04Speaker 6: be sort of like the Detroit situation. Obviously, you know
- 44:08Speaker 6: you have the you know, the coach, the offensive coordinator
- 44:11Speaker 6: there now in Chicago running things, and he's kind of
- 44:13Speaker 6: running at Gibbs Montgomery kind of backfield now, so Manongui
- 44:17Speaker 6: is the Montgomery and Swifts, yeah Gibbs.
- 44:20Speaker 7: All right.
- 44:21Speaker 1: It's still one second after the hour, which is remarkable
- 44:25Speaker 1: standard scoring. Need two of three. Sutton Flowers ATM. That's
- 44:29Speaker 1: from our buddy Ben Sutton Flowers or ATN.
- 44:31Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the two receivers. There a tough
- 44:33Speaker 6: matchup against the Texans for ETN.
- 44:36Speaker 1: The next are really tardy. There are two seconds after
- 44:38Speaker 1: one o'clock. We'll start with this one. Start Jay Herbert
- 44:42Speaker 1: or s Darnald That would be Justin or Sam Donald?
- 44:45Speaker 1: Who do you start?
- 44:46Speaker 6: Yeah, the Pittsburgh has been so very generous to quarterbacks
- 44:50Speaker 6: in fantasy. I have Herbert in my top six. Donald
- 44:54Speaker 6: they have at number ten, So not not bad options there,
- 44:57Speaker 6: but I'm still gonna go with Herbert.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Let's see PPR. Judkins or Dowbdell in my flex.
- 45:04Speaker 6: Oh yeah, those are two good options as well. I
- 45:06Speaker 6: have doubt Old number four overall, but Judkins number twelve
- 45:11Speaker 6: overall is not a bad play either. Just go with
- 45:13Speaker 6: Doubt ale as a hothand right.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Now, because this guy was just a couple of seconds after.
- 45:16Speaker 1: I'm gonna read this verbatim at fundstant if you can
- 45:19Speaker 1: translate this, you're a better man than me. And you
- 45:21Speaker 1: are so I would think you might be Bill or
- 45:24Speaker 1: Second sorry, Bill or Singletary half point PPR long term?
- 45:29Speaker 1: Is it time to move on from Bill? Maybe grab
- 45:31Speaker 1: a gain Well or Teuton or Algier.
- 45:34Speaker 6: You don't know who Bill is? I think you do.
- 45:35Speaker 6: That's Ja Cory krossky Merritt, Yeah, yeah, otherwise known as Billy.
- 45:42Speaker 6: I've just downgraded him.
- 45:43Speaker 2: I thank you.
- 45:44Speaker 6: I'm you know, it's I'm biased a little bit because
- 45:46Speaker 6: I have him all over the place and the guy
- 45:47Speaker 6: has done.
- 45:48Speaker 1: Nothing, done nothing. He's done nothing nothing. That's why I
- 45:51Speaker 1: don't know his name is Bill.
- 45:52Speaker 6: Yeah. So I'll just take a you know, I'll take
- 45:54Speaker 6: a workload split with Singletary and Tyron Tracy. But it's
- 45:57Speaker 6: against the Bears, and that's a great matchup for a
- 45:59Speaker 6: running back.
- 45:59Speaker 1: I'm a lot read that. Then I feel better by
- 46:01Speaker 1: the way he had a long run? Did Bill last week?
- 46:03Speaker 1: Of six yards? Six yards?
- 46:05Speaker 2: Was his long run? Is that good?
- 46:06Speaker 6: We have to tell me your preseat is the choir?
- 46:08Speaker 6: I's Frank, I got smart and at least left him
- 46:12Speaker 6: on my bench last week. But yeah, he's close to
- 46:15Speaker 6: he's you know, justifiably cut able.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Still A couple seconds after the hour, insaaning PPR. Judkins
- 46:21Speaker 1: are doubtle in my flex.
- 46:23Speaker 6: Yeah, you just asked that one. I went, I went doubtle,
- 46:26Speaker 6: But I do like Judkins, especially. Jets got rid of
- 46:28Speaker 6: all their best defensive players, so the Jets have suddenly
- 46:31Speaker 6: become a little bit easier matchup. But Judkins, he's banged
- 46:36Speaker 6: up a little bit, and like I said, Daddo has
- 46:38Speaker 6: just been so on fire, you gotta go with doubt.
- 46:40Speaker 1: Before this came. These are all four seconds after so
- 46:43Speaker 1: I'll read this one. Ryan and Scotts Sale listening on
- 46:45Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. We appreciate that preset your preset, reset
- 46:49Speaker 1: your preset to number one.
- 46:50Speaker 2: There we go. What's up with a duneesay, says Ryan.
- 46:54Speaker 6: Well, the biggest problem is Caleb Williams is one of
- 46:57Speaker 6: the least accurate quarterbacks in the league. He makes some great,
- 46:59Speaker 6: you know, playground plays, and he's getting some rushing numbers
- 47:02Speaker 6: and it works out in fantasy, but as far as accuracy,
- 47:05Speaker 6: he's at the bottom. And Romo Doonsay's average depth of
- 47:09Speaker 6: target is like, I think thirteen plus yards, which is
- 47:12Speaker 6: pretty deep. And I think he gets gets screwed when he's,
- 47:15Speaker 6: you know, if he's not like wide open in those situations,
- 47:18Speaker 6: because if there's not a big window there, Caleb Williams
- 47:21Speaker 6: just will sometimes either ignore him or just flat out
- 47:24Speaker 6: miss him.
- 47:24Speaker 1: All right, Well that brings us to this, Yeah, that
- 47:26Speaker 1: brings us this question from somebody else. Need three Ted McMillan,
- 47:30Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior, Roma Doonsay, Romeo Dobbs, T Franklin. Need
- 47:35Speaker 1: three of those guys.
- 47:36Speaker 6: Yeah, I like, I like T. Franklin, but I'm gonna
- 47:38Speaker 6: hold off on him. And I think Brian Thomas Junior,
- 47:41Speaker 6: I mean, I hope he plays, but he was a
- 47:43Speaker 6: d MP again today. He's been in DMP this week.
- 47:46Speaker 6: He rolled his ankle. So let's go Tet, Let's go
- 47:48Speaker 6: with Donsay and I forget the other one. Dobbs.
- 47:52Speaker 1: Yeah, there, need to your buddy Bill T. Tracy Junior
- 47:57Speaker 1: or Aaron Jones Senior.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Need two of those, Yeah.
- 48:00Speaker 6: Me T Tracy, give me Junior and Senior.
- 48:03Speaker 1: I just want a confirmation on that as all. That's
- 48:05Speaker 1: all I was looking for.
- 48:06Speaker 6: There. Yeah, there you go.
- 48:07Speaker 1: Jamie from Allen says for the tight end positions, I
- 48:10Speaker 1: put in Kincaid or Loveland.
- 48:12Speaker 6: I have Kincaid going against Miami. They've been generous to
- 48:15Speaker 6: the tight end position. I have him a couple of
- 48:17Speaker 6: spots ahead of Levelands.
- 48:18Speaker 2: A lot of people ask about Sutton tonight. How high
- 48:20Speaker 2: do you have them ranked?
- 48:21Speaker 6: I have him in my top fifteen. So just a
- 48:26Speaker 6: rock solid play. Unless you're gonna have embarrassment of riches,
- 48:28Speaker 6: you should be playing.
- 48:29Speaker 1: Him super flex. For my buddy Mike, I need to
- 48:32Speaker 1: pretty sure I'm starting Jackson Darpa. Can't decide between bow
- 48:35Speaker 1: Nicks tonight or Caleb Williams.
- 48:37Speaker 6: Oh, I have those back to back. I'll tell you
- 48:40Speaker 6: what I'm gonna go with Caleb Williams. I just like
- 48:42Speaker 6: the Giants Bears, kind of.
- 48:44Speaker 2: Just what you believe in. Pete is a peep? Is
- 48:46Speaker 2: this a Pete love fest going on? This is old weirdly.
- 48:49Speaker 6: As bad as the Raiders have been, their defense has
- 48:51Speaker 6: been kind of decent. It gets lost in the in
- 48:54Speaker 6: the shuffle, but you know, you look at the metrics
- 48:57Speaker 6: and people are not going off against the Raiders and fans.
- 49:00Speaker 1: All right, let's go, uh the top of the list
- 49:02Speaker 1: here hanging on a second, There we go r J.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Harvey or Rashad White.
- 49:08Speaker 6: I think Bucky Irving's going to sit. New England's a
- 49:11Speaker 6: tough matchup, but with what you notice about New England,
- 49:13Speaker 6: they give up a lot of receptions to the running back.
- 49:16Speaker 6: Rashad White can do that, so I wouldn't be surprised
- 49:18Speaker 6: if he catches five or six passes this week.
- 49:20Speaker 7: Three six?
- 49:20Speaker 1: Oh, Jacoby Myers or Tesz Johnson. And after you answer that,
- 49:23Speaker 1: Fundston jump in on the Jacoby Myers what you do
- 49:25Speaker 1: with him this week?
- 49:27Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's another kind of wait and see.
- 49:29Speaker 6: But if Brian Thomas Junior's out, I might, you know,
- 49:32Speaker 6: I could see you putting him in the flex, but
- 49:34Speaker 6: I'd rather have Tesz Johnson just because there's you know,
- 49:39Speaker 6: it's basically Igbuka and Tesz Johnson Evans is out. Doesn't
- 49:42Speaker 6: look like Godwin's gonna play. So I like the way
- 49:44Speaker 6: Tedes Johnson's looked when he's kind of getting starter run,
- 49:47Speaker 6: and so I would put him ahead of Jacoby. I
- 49:50Speaker 6: will say that Jacksonville needs a short area target. Jacoby
- 49:55Speaker 6: Myers lives around lives around the line of scrimmage in
- 49:58Speaker 6: terms of his target area, and Lawrence is another one
- 50:00Speaker 6: of those guys, not very accurate. You look at some
- 50:03Speaker 6: of the best things he's ever done is when he's
- 50:05Speaker 6: had those guys like Christian Kirk that he threw like
- 50:07Speaker 6: eight nine yards downfield and Jacoby Myers fits that bill.
- 50:10Speaker 2: At or genty genty.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Let's see Canine or Kamara half point PPR which pile
- 50:20Speaker 1: of garbage will suck less?
- 50:21Speaker 2: That's from Yeah, I know, I hear you.
- 50:25Speaker 6: I'm going Canine. I just think Kamara is getting phased out.
- 50:28Speaker 6: They dumped Shahi, they traded offensive lineman. I wouldn't be
- 50:33Speaker 6: surprised if they just see what they have in Devin
- 50:35Speaker 6: Neil a little bit more at the expense of Alvin Kamara.
- 50:38Speaker 2: This week, I like this one.
- 50:39Speaker 1: Do I start Daniel Jones or Sam Donald because the
- 50:41Speaker 1: European Games scared me fantasy wise?
- 50:44Speaker 6: Yeah, And Daniel Jones looked a little Danny Dimes thish
- 50:47Speaker 6: last week. The old Danny Dimes looked.
- 50:50Speaker 2: Rad Yeah he did.
- 50:51Speaker 6: Yeah. I have Donald like three spots ahead of Jones.
- 50:55Speaker 2: This week Kittle or Tyler Warren.
- 50:58Speaker 6: They're back to back Warren has tough. Atlanta has been really,
- 51:02Speaker 6: really tough against the tight ends, like seventeen receptions allowed
- 51:06Speaker 6: to the tight end position all all year. But Warren's
- 51:09Speaker 6: a little bit special. I have him back to back.
- 51:11Speaker 6: It's a coin flip. I have Warren ahead a kittle,
- 51:13Speaker 6: but I honestly go with your go with your gut.
- 51:16Speaker 6: I'd just I'd throw that back on the person asking
- 51:18Speaker 6: the question.
- 51:20Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the same guy that
- 51:21Speaker 1: asked the question about his sketchy commissioner before, but I
- 51:24Speaker 1: think I like drama, so I'll read it anyway.
- 51:26Speaker 2: This is from Trevor.
- 51:27Speaker 1: What are your thoughts of a commission adding Jamison Williams
- 51:29Speaker 1: his own team at seven am last Sunday when the
- 51:32Speaker 1: time stamp of the drop was three forty seven am.
- 51:37Speaker 6: Well, I if I always say, if it's allowable, if
- 51:42Speaker 6: you can do it, like someone dropped at three forty
- 51:44Speaker 6: seven am and the commission was up at seven and
- 51:46Speaker 6: grabbed him. Yeah, it's just I think it's I think
- 51:51Speaker 6: all's fair if it's if it's allowable, unless it's.
- 51:53Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because you can set your settings, you can
- 51:55Speaker 1: prevent that, right, Yeah.
- 51:57Speaker 6: You can absolutely prevent that if someone cuts somebody, you
- 51:59Speaker 6: can put him on a twenty four hour waiver, automatic
- 52:03Speaker 6: waiver process. I mean the way that the ruling is
- 52:05Speaker 6: on that. It's like if anybody gets cut before the game,
- 52:07Speaker 6: then they don't have they don't automatically go to waivers,
- 52:10Speaker 6: which means as soon as they're cut, their fair game.
- 52:13Speaker 1: Let's see, I got one final one here? Where's Keith Miller?
- 52:16Speaker 1: He had a great question here. Uh, Ricky and Tacoma,
- 52:20Speaker 1: Rob and Burien.
- 52:24Speaker 6: I you know, I love love them both, but I
- 52:27Speaker 6: gotta go with the with I gotta go with the cheer.
- 52:30Speaker 6: I gotta go with the upside with Riggy, the sunny disposition,
- 52:34Speaker 6: always happy no matter what fellas.
- 52:37Speaker 3: Yeah, got a labrador, got a kind of.
- 52:39Speaker 6: A Labrador vibe to him there.
- 52:41Speaker 1: Well, the problem was is that Rob's rolled in here
- 52:43Speaker 1: a couple of times lately and he's been happy.
- 52:46Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's another thing. You like, some predictability.
- 52:49Speaker 2: I don't like that.
- 52:50Speaker 1: You know, we know we're gonna get Mike number one,
- 52:52Speaker 1: Ricky number two, and then Rob normally comes in with
- 52:55Speaker 1: something like I hate this game, what am I doing?
- 52:57Speaker 1: That type of thing, and when he when he decides
- 53:00Speaker 1: not to go down that route. He must be miserable
- 53:02Speaker 1: in his league. Like, if he's actually winning, he's probably
- 53:04Speaker 1: one of those guys that taunts everybody. Right, he's got
- 53:08Speaker 1: We all have that league where the guy sends you
- 53:10Speaker 1: tax going, oh you you're struggling this week?
- 53:11Speaker 2: Oh really, I didn't know that. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
- 53:15Speaker 6: I have the guy my leege I loft by point
- 53:16Speaker 6: three on Monday night and he sends me a screenshot
- 53:19Speaker 6: of my own game. It says really question mark like
- 53:22Speaker 6: and it's just a needle, you know, just needling me.
- 53:26Speaker 1: We should start a league for those guys, and everyone
- 53:28Speaker 1: send that guy from their league to that league. I'll
- 53:31Speaker 1: send I'll nominate our guy mac Daddy in our league.
- 53:34Speaker 2: He can go to your league. We can send that
- 53:35Speaker 2: guy like.
- 53:35Speaker 6: That's a little relegation league for that.
- 53:38Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're the taunter, you get relegated to the
- 53:41Speaker 1: league filled with tauntres. You guys can taunt each other
- 53:43Speaker 1: and have fun, all right. Fund sending people didn't get
- 53:45Speaker 1: their questions answered, and as always a few hundred didn't.
- 53:48Speaker 2: What can they do?
- 53:48Speaker 6: Yeah, they can come to the Athletic go to the
- 53:50Speaker 6: fantasy football pages. Got the rankings up a bunch of
- 53:52Speaker 6: matchup breakdowns and answer your questions. We have a discord
- 53:57Speaker 6: there you can jump into as well if you just

- 54:06Speaker 7: Thanks.

- 54:08Speaker 1: Brandon Funston again. The two receivers traded. By the way,
- 54:12Speaker 1: he mentioned just if you're tuning in Jacoby Myers and Rashichi,
- 54:15Speaker 1: he's probably kind of want to wait a week and
- 54:16Speaker 1: see how things settle down with those guys. We'll take
- 54:19Speaker 1: a break, come back, check a couple of texts maybe,
- 54:21Speaker 1: and then get Factor Fiction today. I do believe we're
- 54:25Speaker 1: gonna have an Anderson Hurst pick. He sent me a
- 54:27Speaker 1: text he wants to get his pick in this guy's moger.
- 54:30Speaker 1: I said, you know what, you could do it? He said, no,
- 54:32Speaker 1: I'm doing it. I'm doing it. So we got at
- 54:34Speaker 1: Anderson Hurst pick. We'll get that coming up as well

- 55:08Speaker 1: the nine hundredth goal by Alexander Vechkin. Jordan Biddington, the
- 55:10Speaker 1: rep the goalie for Saint Louis, tried to hide the
- 55:12Speaker 1: puck is gear, trying to keep it. He said later,
- 55:15Speaker 1: I was gonna give it back to him. No, you weren't,
- 55:17Speaker 1: mostly because you're a jerk and everybody knows you're a jerk.
- 55:20Speaker 2: You weren't gonna do that.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Oh let's see, I'm trying to look some of the ones, yeah,

- 55:44Speaker 1: quick thing here as a PSA.

- 55:53Speaker 1: bunch of flights the next couple three days. Good times,

- 57:46Speaker 1: on the same page. Anders is going against another show.
- 57:52Speaker 2: I like that action. I like that action a lot.
- 57:55Speaker 1: He is going with the Rams minus four and a
- 57:58Speaker 1: half at San Francisco. He's going against MJ in the midday,
- 58:04Speaker 1: who made the other pick on Monday, opice of that,
- 58:07Speaker 1: anders is going Rams minus four and a half at
- 58:10Speaker 1: San Francisco. Fact four nine four to five one. If
- 58:14Speaker 1: you disagree fiction four nine four or five one text
- 58:16Speaker 1: in right now fact or fiction. Anders is going Rams
- 58:21Speaker 1: minus four and a half at San Francisco.
- 58:23Speaker 2: Fact if you disagree fiction four nine four or five
- 58:27Speaker 2: to one.
- 58:27Speaker 1: Now, Niners did win the first meeting this year, but
- 58:30Speaker 1: you remember what happened in that game back on the
- 58:31Speaker 1: second of October. That was a forty nine Ers winning
- 58:34Speaker 1: in overtime twenty six to twenty three. They got the ball,
- 58:37Speaker 1: kicked the field goal in overtime, Rams get it back
- 58:39Speaker 1: and Kyran Williams got stuffed on fourth in inches and
- 58:43Speaker 1: also Kyrin Williams fumbled at the goal line earlier in
- 58:46Speaker 1: that game. Rams were a better team and they're a
- 58:49Speaker 1: better team right now. I like to pick, Anders, I
- 58:51Speaker 1: like to pick, And you're going head to head against
- 58:53Speaker 1: MJ in the midday. Bet it now, thank me later,
- 58:57Speaker 1: that's what he's saying. Better now, fake me later, and
- 59:01Speaker 1: Rams minus four and a half at San Francisco. Fact
- 59:04Speaker 1: four nine four or five one text.
- 59:06Speaker 2: In right now.
- 59:07Speaker 1: If you agree fact, if you disagree fiction. I was
- 59:11Speaker 1: trying to think this earlier. I think I think if
- 59:16Speaker 1: you're Seattle, you want the Rams. God, I think you
- 59:24Speaker 1: kind of want.
- 59:25Speaker 2: The Rams to win. Can they both lose?
- 59:27Speaker 7: A tie?
- 59:28Speaker 2: Would be good, I would actually be good. That would
- 59:30Speaker 2: be good.
- 59:31Speaker 1: And they were damn close to having that before they
- 59:33Speaker 1: would have kicked the field goal, and that other game
- 59:34Speaker 1: probably would have been in the tie. The yeah, because
- 59:38Speaker 1: that would put the brand, the Niners at six and four,
- 59:41Speaker 1: two games back in the lost column of Seattle, and
- 59:44Speaker 1: you still have two games against the Rams left, so
- 59:46Speaker 1: you can.
- 59:47Speaker 2: Take care of business. So I think we're kind of rooting.
- 59:49Speaker 1: If you're in Seattle, I think you're kind of rooting
- 59:50Speaker 1: for the Rams to win that game, which is then
- 59:52Speaker 1: you're rooting for Anders four nine four or five to
- 59:54Speaker 1: one fact or disagree fiction four nine four five one anyway,
- 59:58Speaker 1: text in right now again, thousand our week, we'd probab
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars grand prize for factor fiction texting right now,

- 1:00:53Speaker 3: This has been the worst.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: This is the stereotype right here, buddy, this is when
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: people can play like. This is the stereotype we could
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: tell And now listen, we're from what early June through
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: the end of October. We're past.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: Yeah, the best I think the best in I think
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: the best in the country.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: I would agree about three months, I would agree, But
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: then we get this. I'm not sure if there's enough
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: booze at the bar the five twenty to brighten your spirits.
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: I was seeing it, you know, I was thinking about.
- 1:01:20Speaker 15: I was thinking about our new our new storm head
- 1:01:23Speaker 15: coach right, yes, from the East coaches time in Memphis.
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: And her name, tell me her name, Sonia Raman.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: Yes, break breaking down some barriers there you go.
- 1:01:31Speaker 15: Absolutely first Indian head coach in the w NBA. And
- 1:01:34Speaker 15: I talked to her this morning. I talked to her yesterday
- 1:01:36Speaker 15: and I was just thinking, she got here on Monday.
- 1:01:39Speaker 15: Do you think she's gonna resign by this weekend? If
- 1:01:42Speaker 15: this continuous weatherwise? She's like, oh my god.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: Here's what I get in.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: Here's the worst part for for Sonia is that the
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: time of the year that's the best weather. She'll be
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: inside cle coaching exactly.
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: She's going to be in the practice facility all day.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: She's gonna be primate pledge all night.
- 1:01:59Speaker 15: She is gonna be traveling to other cities that are
- 1:02:01Speaker 15: one hundred and four degrees in humid.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm bad at this. You maybe you
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: can help me, because I know you've done this before.
- 1:02:10Speaker 1: Seahawks fans, who you're rooting for San Francisco and the
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: Rams on Sunday, I'm.
- 1:02:15Speaker 15: Rooting definitely for San Francisco. You are, Yeah, I think
- 1:02:18Speaker 15: the Rams have more legs.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: Oh, San Francisco.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: Now I was leaning, I was leaning.
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: I was leaning Rams actually because you still have two
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: games with them and control your own destiny. You've already
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: lost a game with the forty. I'd like to see
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: the forty nine is go away, Yeah, just go away.
- 1:02:31Speaker 15: Hawks are minimum eleven and six, probably closer to twelve
- 1:02:36Speaker 15: and five, and I only think the Rams can get
- 1:02:39Speaker 15: there in this division. I don't think with all San
- 1:02:41Speaker 15: Francisco's injuries, I don't think. Now that being said, I
- 1:02:44Speaker 15: heard Anders's factor fiction pick yes, and I don't like it.
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a little stat here, give me
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: a stat, all right.
- 1:02:52Speaker 15: Since twenty nineteen, San Francisco plays LA, they've done it
- 1:02:57Speaker 15: fourteen times. The underdog is thirteen and one against the spread,
- 1:03:04Speaker 15: and four and a half points is one of the
- 1:03:06Speaker 15: bigger spreads in that rivalry. So while I like, I
- 1:03:12Speaker 15: want San Francisco to win, and I like San Francisco
- 1:03:15Speaker 15: plus the points this week, I'm with MJ on this week.
- 1:03:18Speaker 15: It was actually one of those that I was actually
- 1:03:19Speaker 15: considering to MJ grabbed ah.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well, see, I was just gonna because I
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: want to see part because this is the same thing
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: we start, this is the same game.
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: Everyone that's that's in the.
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: College football playoff conversation can start playing is well, it's
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: just is just the schedule question, right? So like, so
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: San Francisco's got the Rams, then they've got the Cardinals, Panthers, Browns, Titans,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: that's Uki, Colts, Bear, Seahawks.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna win twelve games.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: The forty nine ers.
- 1:03:54Speaker 3: Oh you said that was the Ram. No, it's forty
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: nine forty hunderds. Okay, well the forty nine ers could
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: get to get to ten.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: They could we get to ten.
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: I mean, the Browns are a win, Panthers Promethers is
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: at homes, so maybe a win Tennessee is a win.
- 1:04:07Speaker 15: Do we really see three teams in this division at
- 1:04:10Speaker 15: eleven wins or more?
- 1:04:13Speaker 11: Oh?
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: Well, let's let's let's just do this. Let's go back
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: to to last season, shall we. And we had what
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: it was the NFC, well, the NFC North had. The
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: NFC North had fifteen to two, fourteen and three, and
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: eleven and six. So yes, it's very far happened. It's happened.
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: I mean it happened a year ago. It happened easily
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: a year ago. Last year was interesting, very top heavy
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: because Philadelphia Washington both get in fourteen and twelve wins respectively. Tampa,
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: I say, this has it sneaks in at ten and
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: seven because they win the division and the Rams win
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: the division ten like, so Seattle was the team left
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: on the outside looking in at ten and seven last year.
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: Well, you raise a fair point with the schedule. I
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: had not.
- 1:04:56Speaker 15: I had not looked at the Rams schedule versus the
- 1:05:00Speaker 15: forty nine ers schedule before you ask me that question.
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: But I just think the Rams are a better football.
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: No, I do too.
- 1:05:05Speaker 15: I schedule, yeah, I mean that schedule evens things out
- 1:05:08Speaker 15: a lot. I mean, look at you know, one of
- 1:05:10Speaker 15: the reasons you go, guy, we love Sam Darnold. But
- 1:05:12Speaker 15: let's face it, one of the reasons they went fourteen
- 1:05:13Speaker 15: and three is because of who they played last year.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: Well, and that's like I was explaining that to my kid.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: They were talking about, you know, just how the schedule works,
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: and I said, here's the thing, Like the forty nine
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: ers have a crappy year last year because they're all
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: banged up, and they benefit from it because then they
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: play bad teams.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: Yep, you know, and then when they start.
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: The non divisional matchups that are out that you get
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: matched up with, you get some bad teams along the way,
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: and I think in this case, what it's Cleveland, right,
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: So they get Cleveland that helps them immensely. Chicago, I
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: think one of those teams too, Tennessee. Tennessee's part of
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: it though, where that's everyone's playing NF that's NFC West
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: against the AFC South. But yeah, you get the point,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: like it's you start looking at schedules and when you
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: look at the schedule, it's like forty and I'll tell you,
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: I don't know, Dick, how they're doing it like they're
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: doing with smoking Mers in San Francisco.
- 1:05:58Speaker 15: Which Jan's fantastic. I mean, he just really is well
- 1:06:01Speaker 15: astid coach. He hasn't been able to win the big one,
- 1:06:04Speaker 15: but he is. He takes every quarterback and turns them
- 1:06:08Speaker 15: into at least capable, if not more than capable. He's
- 1:06:11Speaker 15: doing it again with Mac Jones, and it seems like
- 1:06:14Speaker 15: you just keep taking players off his team and he
- 1:06:16Speaker 15: keeps giving you a ten wins season.
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: Helps when you have the helps, when you have the
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: healthy joystick that is named Christian McCaffey.
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: That's right. I mean, that's right, which and I'm surprised
- 1:06:25Speaker 3: he stayed healthy.
- 1:06:25Speaker 15: I mean, of all the guys that if you'd have
- 1:06:27Speaker 15: told me San Francisco is gonna have a massive rash
- 1:06:30Speaker 15: of injuries all season long, first on my list would
- 1:06:32Speaker 15: have been Christian Maker.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: The last guy would have been Fred Warner for me,
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: because that guy just is a war beast. Yeah, exactly,
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: All right, what do you got coming up today?
- 1:06:39Speaker 15: Ah Rick Neuheisel right around the corner at three twenty
- 1:06:42Speaker 15: and then coach Holmgren for a full hour in person
- 1:06:45Speaker 15: and living colorout this way, he's gonna make his way
- 1:06:49Speaker 15: that that beautiful you know, one mile commute that he has.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: As he looked outside yet has he confirmed as he
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: looked outside of.
- 1:06:55Speaker 15: Yeah, he texted me about ten minutes ago. As of
- 1:06:58Speaker 15: ten minutes ago, he was still planning to show up.
- 1:07:00Speaker 15: I don't know if he's walked outside and seen what
- 1:07:01Speaker 15: the weather is, so you know, he might turn around
- 1:07:04Speaker 15: and say, no, I'm out, you know, like the groundhog.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm done, I'm out. I'm home. R And I'm
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: not doing this. This is nonsense. I'm not going.
