• 1:53
  Speaker 2: on tap coming up here in a moment, as we've
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: got you till ten o'clock this morning. Let me start
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the show though, by telling you that we do have
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a keyword for our nationwide thousand dollars power play cash contest,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and that keyword is check ch E C K check.

• 2:21
  Speaker 2: We'll give you a new keyword at the top of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: every hour, all stinking day long, right here at Sports
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety three point three KJR FM. Why is your
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: light on today? We're not used to having your light
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: on in there, looks weird.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: I'm really glad you notice that because I share as hecton,
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: you didn't even notice it. No, and I have been
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: sitting in half the dark for six months, huh yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: And although that was yeah, no, it's this light that
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: had broke because you know, the studio is old. Yeah
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: so this yeah, so this light wasn't working anymore. And
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: it wasn't like just the light bulb. There was some
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: other things that then TERI had order apart. And then
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: remember they came in one day while we were on
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: the air, and they're just on ladders in here while
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: I was just hanging out. And then it was the
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: wrong part, not that Terry ordered, but that they told
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: him that he needed. And so then there was a
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: whole fiasco and they must have come in yesterday and
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: secretly done it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, do you like it?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Though?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I kind of really liked how it was half dark,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: like the darkness. I got used to it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It looks weird.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I could probably turn it down.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't that be terrible? I mean, Terry would probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be pretty angry if he went to all that trouble.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And then Ashley was just like, no, I like it dark.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I want to break it again.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now it doesn't.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Feel like it's blinding me. Yeah, I gotta. It's gonna
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: take some getting used to that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: There's and plus then it makes it more reflection of
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: me and I can't see you guys.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I was blinded by the light.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Nobody wants to see this face in all that were
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: you cut up like a douche, wrapped up.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Like a douce. Oh that's what another run in the night.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's one of the Uh it's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a really silly, silly lyric.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whether you get it right or wrong.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Everybody that gets it wrong gets it wrong the same leay, Yeah,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: wrapped up like a douche. Yeah, yeah, that's what it
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: sounds like.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. I would agree. We'll play it later, Bucky.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Can hear it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Revved up like a deuce? Another runner up?
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah that makes a lot of sense. See you didn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: write those lyrics.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, that was Manfred May Yeah, which.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Also doesn't make a lot of sense. Manfred man weird name.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's his real name. I don't think
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I'm born with that one. No, really don't. Well, welcome
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: man Ashley Ryan is here. Yes, she's got new light
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: in her life, and yet she was soured by it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Bucky Jacobson is here. My name is Chuck Powell. As
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: we get things started here on a Wednesday, just three
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: days shy of the Seahawks forty nine ers matchup on Saturday,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a third time having to face this division rival this season.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We've split the first two, so a third time to decide.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's so much at stake, so much on the line.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Just recently played them one by ten should have been
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: more felt, more dominant than that. But of course in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the National Football League, you don't get to carry over
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: one win to the next. We don't get to start
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Saturday with a ten point lead. And as I heard
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millen breaking down yesterday on another show, Guy gets
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: around Town. I tell you I heard him breaking down.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: He actually, as a football savant himself, as a football nerd,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: self professed football nerd himself, sounds like he's a little
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: worried about what Kyle Shanahan's about. Ready to cook up
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: for Mike McDonald and the Seahawks defense this Saturday, given
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a little bit of time, maybe a little bit of
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: a chip on his shoulder, I'm pretty sure Kyle Shanahan
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't like to be embarrassed on national television like he
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: was the last time these two teams faced off. Pretty
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: sure he doesn't like getting bested by another genius, so
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: called genius and the National foot Ball League. So yes,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I think we should all be fully prepared for Kyle
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Shanahan to come up with something unique, something special, something
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: some sort of master adjustment to what Mike McDonald did
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the last time out.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: I would imagine that, yeah, he's gonna have that little
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: extra you know, I don't know, chip on his shoulders
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: or any thing, but it's not like there wasn't a
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: lot on the line the last time, and like he
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: wasn't he wasn't going into it, you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Know, fully prepared.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: I would just think that, you know, it's, yeah, the
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: embarrassment aspect of it. I mean I can remember, you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: if he went up against a team or a specific
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: pitcher and he just absolutely shoved on you. It wasn't
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: like you weren't trying, right, He goes out there and
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: throws a one hitter against you and goes nine innings
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: and strikes out twelve guys. It wasn't like you weren't trying.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: But the next time you face him.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like you didn't feel like you had a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: good approach going out of the game, a good game plan, right.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: You were like, we went out there and gave it,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: you know, gave it or all the old college stripe.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: But it's like, that's not happening again.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: And so to me, it would just seem practical that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, they didn't throw a shutout, but pretty damn
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: close to it. I mean, they went out there and
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: absolutely stimied him, and they didn't have many answers for it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: I would think that, yes, it's just collectively, Kyle Shanahan
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: and the entire offense is like, we're not gonna win
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: if we have anything.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Remotely close to that type of performance.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: And yes, we're gonna be going against that same defense,
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: and they're probably not going to miraculously get a whole
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: bunch worse. They're probably, but we're gonna have to make
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: them miss a tackle every once in a while. We're
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: gonna have to find some guys open over the middle
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: where Hugh breaks down those intermediate routes that rock Perty's
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: great at anticipating and delivering, so we'll see if you
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: can do enough that it matters, and ultimately, if the
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: if the Seahawks offense doesn't finish better than they did
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: and score more than thirteen points, then that could be enough.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Well you can wish in one hand ferret face.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Oh yah, yeah, and yeah you can't. Oh I'm watching
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: the game with the same people too. My girlfriends are
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: going to talk about how hot Kyle Shanahan is. I'm
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: sure they will.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: It looks like I don't.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Find him attractive. I mean I don't find him unattracted.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: I just don't look at him one way or another.
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: But remember that is how we started the last game.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: My girlfriends were we had several couples over and two
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: of my girlfriends were going on about Kyle Shanahan until
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: they hand to Mike McDonald and then they're like, well,
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: our coach is pretty good. Me too.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That was my biggest reason for hiring Mike should.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: And then it was the defensive genius second's second. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: me too.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I wanted to hire a Hemsworth.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: Then you just distract everyone. No one watches the game.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: They just just yeah, I think everybody would.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: I do think though, It's interesting because obviously you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: to have that first game of the year where the
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Seahawks were embarrassed, right, and then you have all season
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: you're waiting till this last game of the year.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: If I'd call it embarrassed, they got beat on the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: last play because Greek Wollen this time is jumped.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but you're at home, it's your open your first
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: game of the year. I don't Yeah, embarrass is probably
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: the wrong word, but you're you're feeling like, ah, we
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: should have had that. We blew an opportunity. We lost
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: at home, started off the season zero to one, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: so you're waiting. You've got all the way till the
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: end of the of the season. You've got this game,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: You've you're playing, You've game planned for it, both of you,
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: you know, with all your games ahead of it. So
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: it's not like you've been just focusing on that one.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: And now you've had two weeks where you're just focusing
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: on these are the possible opponents we're playing. So how
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: if it's San Francisco again, how are we doing this
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: if it's.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: The ram you know?
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: So I would like to think that Mike McDonald has
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: the edge and the game planning of that situation. Given
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: that he had two weeks of nothing but game plany.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mike McDonald has said it this week that
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you can't expect just because the last game went that
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: way doesn't mean that this he's what he say ninety
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: nine point and just kept rattling off the games. Yeah,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that it's going to be a different game, and you
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: never know how the old cookie crumbles from one game
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: to the next. Just because it's the same actors on
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the stage, it doesn't mean that we'll have a game
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: that looks anything similar. Maybe we end up having a shootout.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's hard for me to.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Believe that would be.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: But as Hugh pointed out on that other show that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay certainly made his adjustments. He and Kyle Shannon.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: You can't mention one with at the other when you're
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: talking about today's best offensive minded head coaches. And so
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay certainly made his adjustments, and the Seahawks never
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: did really catch up to those adjustments. I mean, they
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: put a lot of yards up. Was over five hundred
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: yards of offense or close to five hundred yards of
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: offense in that game, And so obviously Sean McVay figured
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: something out from game number one to game number two
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: that caught Mike McDonald off guard, and he did adjust
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to the run game in the second half, they kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: of shut down Kyrie and Williams. Remember how Kira and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Williams just kind of ran wild at the beginning of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that game, So they did make some adjustments, but McVeigh
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: was just kind of half a step ahead of him
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: that entire game. And if it wasn't for that dramatic
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: comeback offensively, you know you're getting swept by the Los
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Angeles Rams this year, so you know, you can make
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: adjustments to getting to Mike McDonald. As big a fans
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: as we are in Seattle, as much as we think
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: of Mike McDonald, he's certainly not invincible. He doesn't have
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a crystal ball, so he's going to be making some
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: adjustments himself to be even better. He's going to make
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: some adjustments to the adjustments he thinks Shanahan's going to make.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And there's also an element to, you know what, I
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: think that there are some things that we didn't get
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to showcase in the game because we kind of felt
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: like what we were doing was working so well. I mean,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: we had a few other tricks up our sleeve that
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: he's saved for this game are coming up. I would
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: just say, at the end of the day, it is
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: hard for me three day shy of this game. I
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: know it's going to be a different game. I know
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: how good Kyle Shanahan is, and I know they've got weapons,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: and I know they got Trent Williams back, So those
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: are all going to be factors in this contest. So
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you certainly aren't, you know, running to the window to
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: cash your ticket at this point. It's just hard for
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: me to believe that two weeks ago one team could
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: look that dominant and seem to have all the answers.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if there are enough questions left
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: for Kyle Shanahan to come up with. I don't know
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: if there are an I mean, football's been around a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: long period of time to be that stumped. You pointed
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: it out to us on our show where he belongs
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: that every single thing the forty nine ers did in
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that last game, the Seahawks had the answer to. And
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: so it's just hard for me to believe. I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: you know, I leave myself open to be surprised and disappointed,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: but it's just hard for me to believe when you've
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: aced the test in the same classroom like the Seahawks
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: did two weeks ago, that Kyle Shannan can come up
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: with enough wrinkles. I don't think there are enough football
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: wrinkles left in the world that can override what answers
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald seemed to have figured out and came up
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: with against this same roster two weeks ago.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I just think like, there's only a couple things that
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: have to change and then it increases your chances, right,
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I mean how dominant the defense was. I mean it was,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: you know, getting them off the field just about every
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: single time on third down, right, I mean, you just
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: can't I think they went they went two of nine
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: on first downs and zero for two on fourth downs.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: So that's two of eleven if they just convert two
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: of those one first, one of the fourth downs, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: one of the third downs. Now there's three more sets
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: of downs, right, That's that's.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Three that you just take.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: That that's maybe uh, you know, limits some of the
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: possessions or a possession that the Seahawks will end up getting.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: It delays when it gets there. There was the time
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: of possession discrepancy. I mean, is that not something you
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: hear all the time about when you're playing against an
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: offensive team. We heard about Patrick Mahomes for the last
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: better part of a deck. Just keep them off the field, right,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: If you can control the clock, keep them off the field,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: that is a part of the way in which you
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: can beat that team. Well, it's the same with any
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: offensive mastermind, whether it's Andy Reid or Kyle Shannan, if
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Sean McVay. If you limit their amount of chances, that's
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: fewer times you have to combat whatever that the offensive
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: mind is coming up with, or the playmakers that they have.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: So to me, it's just a couple things that change
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: and all of a sudden you're in a You're in
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: something that feels like a far different ballgame.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Now, I give full credit to where credit is due.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Seahawks forced that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: They made that happen.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. I mean, yeah, I hear
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: what you're saying. You get more first downs, you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: if your answer your uncle, if you're if you score
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: more points. But it's not like that game. This is
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: why I feel come from. It's not like that game
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: was a bunch of flucish things led to San Francisco
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: ending up trapped inside their five where they start, or
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they committed a bunch of turnover. No, they had all
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of that taken away from them, like they they It's
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: not like they were dropped passes down. It's like Mike
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: McDonald had an answer for everything they tried yesterday. I mean, yes,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: they made every tackle good on them, but they were
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: also in the hole every single time as well, So
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it's a little different than just I mean, I'm not
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: saying that it can't happen. It obviously can happen. This
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is sports for goodness sake. Hell, maybe the Hurricanes can
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: beat Indiana on Monday. I'm not saying that it can't happen.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: But it just it's hard for me to jump from
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: what I watched two weeks ago, and then after they
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: played and you rested, Yeah, and they're more injured, and
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: you're as healthy as you been all season long, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you seem to have the answer, you seem to have
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: a cheat code to how to play Kyle Shanahan two
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: weeks ago. It's just hard for me to believe that
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: they're gonna create enough plays that defy what Mike McDonald
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: did to them two weeks ago in order to win
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: this game. Of course they can, yeah, but I just
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: it just seemed to me it's just hard from an
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: analyst standpoint to think what I watched two weeks ago
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: is going to reverse itself on Saturday.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: Well, I agree that, I don't. I think it would
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: be silly to say, oh, it's gonna reverse itself. I'm
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: just saying it just just a couple things here and there,
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: and it's not It's not well if they just score
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: more points. It's just if they just aren't as stymied,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: if they just figure out a couple little things, a
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: couple ways to open something up where I mean, if
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: you have on your sheet all right, well these didn't
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: work at all. That he had the answer, the answer
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: key to every single one of these. So I'm taking
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: those out. And yet I'm gonna go back into my
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: own trusty playbook, the Waterboy Coach. You know, I'm gonna
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: go back into that, and I'm gonna find a couple
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: things that these are my third and long because they're
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: going to force them into some third These are my
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: third and long plays. I have to find a way
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: to stay on the field. To move the chains a
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: couple more times, because, plain and simple, if you end
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: up having the ball for forty minutes and they have
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: for twenty, you're gonna win. Because I think the Niners
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: were lucky to only lose by ten considering how dominated
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: they were. And you're right, all of the extra outside variables,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: the rest and the health and all that kind of stuff,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: that's all also in the favor of the Seahawks. It
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: just to me is, while I am almost certain it's
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: not going to reverse itself where there's gonna be some
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: overly dominant victory in the Niners way, to think that
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: it's going to be as dominant of a victory, I
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: just don't see that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I just have a hard time seeing how you can
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: shut them down like that again.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: I can I hear what you're saying for sure, because
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: it does seem like there's just no way that another
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: that the team would come back in, you know, and
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: be shut down again so dominantly. But when you go
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: back and think about that game, just how absolutely dominant
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: they were. I mean, the defense shut him down, The
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: offense did their job, they elongated every single drive. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: time of possession was you know, we had the ball
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: for fifteen minutes more than they did. And so as
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: much as we didn't score and take advantage of those
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: you know, having the ball that long, we still ate
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: up the clock and we and you know, Sam Darnold
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: in the offense got did the job. The run game
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: did the job. And so I just think as as
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: much as we shut them down and we dominated them
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: on the field, the scoreboard didn't show that. And I
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: do think that we could actually dominate them more.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I think the bottom line to this conversation is that
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millon is really an analytical fluozy around town who
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: himself around. Yeah, I'm showing his x's and o's leg Oh,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: anybody with a set of eyeballs and know what I'm saying.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: And it makes us feel special too. Now I feel dirty.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I got an analyst way over town. It's been good
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to me. All right, Let's find out what's on tap
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the show.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: What's on te what's on.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Te al right, Seahawks forty nine ers, five o'clock Saturday
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: on Fox. If you can't make it to the game,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Matt Hasselbeck's gonna join us. That's right. I know what
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: you're thinking. Wasn't he just on with you last week?
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Every Wednesday throughout the postseason, we will be joined by
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: number eight. At eight Matt Hasselbeck joins us for our
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: second session with the QB Today. We'll also chat at
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: eight thirty with our friend Dustin Nickerson. Yeah, you got
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: to know him and his Mariner fandom. His is a
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: special brand of Mariner fandom during the baseball run. Well,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: he's just as weird and goofy about the Seahawks as well.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna talk to him today. It's been a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: while since we've chatted with him, so we'll do that
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: today at eight thirty. The NFL Divisional Round we'll start
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to Saturday afternoon with Buffalo at Denver, and then on
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Sunday you'll have the Texans at the Patriots and the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Rams at Chicago. Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: out of the playoffs and now Mike Tomlin's just out
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: of Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin decided a day after their elimination,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do this right now. I just
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to do it. And so he's also stated
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: that you can come after me, but I'm probably going
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: to take the year off and then maybe eventually get
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: back into coaching. That that leads us to nine head
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: coaching vacancies right now in the National Football League. We're
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: going to discuss it with our shar coachery board later
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: on in the show. Also Reckless at Breakfast we'll discuss
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the coaching vacancies as well. We're five days till the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Natty and college football. The last game of the college
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: football season, very entertaining one, but certainly filled with all
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: sorts of stuff this past year. Indiana. We'll be taking
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: on Miami. The winner takes the national Championship. College basketball
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you dub in action tonight against the fourth ranked Michigan Wolverines.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: They're not just good, they're very good. I think everybody
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: expected Michigan to be good. They've been better than what
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: was expected. They're coming off their first loss of the season,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: a three point loss to Wisconsin. Before that, they had
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: started the year fourteen to oher and had wins over Auburn, Gonzaga,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: and USC all ranked opponents. So this is quite the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: challenge for Danny Sprinkle. I hear that tickets are going
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: crazy for this game over there, heck ed, so you
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: dub Michigan. They are playing tonight cracking also in action
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: tonight against the New Jersey Devils. That's on the road
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: four pm. They'll drop the puck. Al Koniski will join
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: us from Joysey at nine p thirty here this morning
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and from the hot stove. The Kyle Tucker price tag.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: The rumor is going through the roof. The Mets have
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: offered a shorter turn deal up to fifty million dollars
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: per season to Kyle Tucker. Apparently the Blue Jays have
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: offered something longer and the forty plus million dollar range
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: to Tucker. I gotta believe Kyle, you've got a good offer.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Now just pick what town you want to go to
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and live in. This isn't that hard, Bud. So we'll
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: try to talk a little bit of baseball today, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: of course our thoughts dominated by the National Football League
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: these days and yesterday one of the staples. I mean,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you just went into every football season for the last
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: two decades knowing that Mike Tomlin wearing purple excuse me, purple,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: black and gold was just something that you've just got
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: accustomed to seeing. And now he's out. We'll discuss it
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, Tiver. Yeah.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: Well, for yeah, we're gonna have rain, Chuck, Buck.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: And Ashley revved up like a deuse right here on
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the mornings here on this Wednesday,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: and our coverage. By the way, everything we discuss regarding
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, I mean every single word. It's sponsored by

  Speaker 2: dot com. Seattle's close to sports book, snow Qualme Casino
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and Hotel. Right now, I think the Seahawks are a
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: seven and a half point favorite over the San Francisco
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: forty nine.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: It does seem large. It does seem large this time
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: of year, no doubt. We'll talk more about that coming
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: up in a moment. But there are a few things
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: as football fans that we've just kind of come to expect,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: like the ball is going to always remain in that
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: weird football oblong shape. I don't think they're ever going
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: to change that. Ope, not to a square or a perfect.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Circle'd be probably harder to catch.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's never going to happen.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: That's in the wind tunnel argument.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a feeling they are always going to
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: be eleven players on each side of the ball. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: don't think there's a time in the near future anyway.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Will they will allow you to have a power play?
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, probably not, although you know, if they do change rules,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: I'd probably be one they'd come up.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: With ufl ough to consider it. Yep. You know, somebody
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: commits a penalty, they have to come off the field
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: and you get to go eleven on ten as example.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I doubt they're ever going to change that. And another
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: thing that we've just expected is that Mike Tomlin's going
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to be that coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: twenty years nearly twenty years being in the Black and Gold.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: They are obviously showcased quite a bit by the National
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Football League. That's a team with fans from corner to
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: corner in the nation, and so they have a national
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: fan base. The Pittsburgh Steelers, and so they get featured
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: lot and they're always at least okay, okay to very good.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: That sort of has been the case for the Pittsburgh
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Steelers for the last twenty years. They've even hit greatness
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: under Mike Tomlin. But now he is out as head
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. How much of it was
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: a mutual decision, I guess we'll never know, but it
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: didn't take very long. It kind of sounds like Mike
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Tomlin went into the office yesterday told the rooneys who
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: he loves, I want to do this again. I don't
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: want to keep working this hard for the same results
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: and have the fans boomy on my own home field
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: game in and game out. I need a break. And
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: so Mike Tomlin at the very least has taken a
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: break from the National Football League.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: It sounds like, yeah, I mean, it's interesting, it's not surprising.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, I you know, he had been kind of
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: toiling and mediocrity, and so there may have been some
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: rumblings from inside the building. It's he came out basically
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: and said, now, you don't always know what to believe
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: when somebody steps down. Was it a force to step down.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: This one, to me, doesn't. I don't think that it
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: is just my personal opinion. I think that it was
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: him when he came out and said, I just was
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: getting sick and tired of hearing people basically call him
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: from my head when I'm doing the best that I can,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: you know, making you know, trying to make chicken salad
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: out of whatever. And so I don't know, to me,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: it's it's it is different nineteen years. I just don't
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: know for sure now that Harbaugh and him both are
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: either fired or with the quit, whichever however you want
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: to look at it. I just don't know for sure
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: if you're going to get into those long tenured coaches anymore.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: It feels like it's less and less likely.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say never, but I do believe it's less likely.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a long run for both of them.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I remember when Bill Cower stepped down from
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and there was this feeling of his message just
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: asn't getting through to people. He doesn't feel like Mike
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Tomlin has lost the locker room. It feels like there's
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: as much adoration for him now as there's ever been.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers had some problems with Matt Lafleur had more
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: problems with Mike McCarthy, But in his one year with
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, all he can do is seeing his praises,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: So it sounds like he hadn't lost the locker room.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: But there is an element to are we still on
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: championship course? Is your message getting stale? Are you getting
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the most out of this team? Maybe we need somebody
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: who has a little bit of a different personnel eye
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: that contributes to that conversation. Maybe Mike Tomlin had become
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: so powerful that maybe the general manager didn't want him
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: weighing in on decisions, even though he'd earned the right
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to do so. They did add Dk Metcalf, which didn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: exactly solve their offensive woes. They did add Aaron Rodgers
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: when they had a shot at Matt Stafford. It sounds
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: like and it sounds like Mike Tomlin was of weighing
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: heavily in on those two conversations that didn't didn't fail,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: but they didn't work out as well as they thought.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Those pieces were supposed to be something that made a
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: difference in the postseason, and instead it's squeak into the playoffs.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Get knocked out an embarrassing fashion in the very first round,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and here we are again, back at the old drawing board.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I think Mike Tomlin was just sick of being right
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: back at the old drawing board and not being able
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: to progress this thing, and the fan base certainly was
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: tired of it as well as I mean, I have
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: a friend who's a Pittsburgh Steeler fan, lives in Arizona,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: die hard, Like his entire backyard is dedicated to the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. It's like the most important thing in his life,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: his dogs and his Steelers, and then his wife and
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: yet and he calls him Black Jesus still to this
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: day because of how great he thought he was when
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: he came to Pittsburgh. I haven't talked to him about
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: whether or not he soured on them, but I'd promise
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you that there's a place in every Steelers fans heart
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: reserved for love for Mike Tomlin. But after years of
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: just watching the same thing, I mean, TJ. Watt does
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: not have a playoff win, it just does feel like
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: they're stuck in being good, not great. And I don't
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: know if Mike Tomlin had answers to get them to
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: the next step anytime soon. It certainly wasn't gonna It's
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: not gonna happen next year, no matter who takes over.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I guess to some degree it would be
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: that would be rough, especially considering, you know, not all
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: coaches trajectory or the way their career goes. Some guys
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: start off and they inherit a bad team, hence the
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: reason for a new coach, and it takes them five
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: years and if the organization sticks with them, then move boom.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Maybe after five years they start to become a contender.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, he went to the Super Bowl, won the
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl in his second year, and then I think
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: he missed the playoffs the next year, went back to
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: the super Bowl and lost this fourth year, and now
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: basically fifteen years without getting back to a super Bowl,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: and it was trending even more downward. I mean it
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: was throughout the course of you know, up until what
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: six seven years ago, he was making it and then
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: still being a contender. And yet the last I think
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: six years or six times they've been to the playoffs.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: It's one and done.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: So I would imagine that it's tiresome. And then the
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: fan base and the people covering the team and you
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: just yourself.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: You're looking at the me. You're like, man, what am
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I doing.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: I'm not heading in the right direction. I'm slowly but
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: surely trickling down. And all of a sudden, I mean,
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: it's the last three years they've had ten wins and
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: the two years before that nine wins. You're just absolutely
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: middle of the road. And you would have to think
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: that as a competitive coach, and he seems like he
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: is top notch a competitive coach.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: You're like, I.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Don't know if I have the answers of how to
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: fix it here.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: So maybe taking a year off and getting his mind right,
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: maybe that'll help.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: It's interesting because when we did our picks at the
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: beginning of the year, and I picked the Steelers to
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: lose or to win less than nine games or something,
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: and you guys had said, oh, they'll always win nine games,
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: They'll always win nine games, and it is true, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: look what they did, won ten games. But I it
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: it would get old to be coaching in that same situation,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: and it would be get It would get old to
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: be hearing the rumblings from the fans in that same situation,
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: to be having the same year every year.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, it would feel like groundhog Day to me.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: And if nothing is changing organizationally, really, then how's anything
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: going to change on the field.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Well, and that's that's one of the things they say
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: about the modern day sports is that sometimes breaking it down,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: tearing it down and rebuilding gets you closer to a
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: championship than just staying with status quo. Yeah, and that's
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I think what the fans actually want. I mean, yeah,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: it's nice, it's cute, it's it's no longer cute. This
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: streak of you know, if you've never had a losing season, right,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: because we're just stuck here and we've watched a lot
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: of organizations in the last twenty years break it down
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: two to three time. The Rams just came up on
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the board. That's a team that's broken it down two
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: three times in the last decade and are getting back
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: to championship caliber status. They've done it now three I
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: think three times in the last fifteen years. Where the
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Steelers are just like, well, we've got this recipe and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: we've got these ingredients called hayward and wat uh, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: you know we're not we're not bad, So we don't
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: want to tear it down, and we're gonna make a
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: couple of moves that hopefully put us over the top.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: And then those moves just take you from nine wins
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: to ten or ten wins to nine, and it just,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I think that they this is rare. This
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: is rare because you know how much Seattle fans hate
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: the word rebuild. But I think in Pittsburgh if they
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: heard the word rebuild, I think they would be refreshed. Yeah,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're tired of squeezing the same pieces of fruit.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta shake it up, shake it up, try
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: something new, and trying to.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Get a different flavored juice. And so I think they
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: might actually welcome just a tear down, rebuild. Trade TJ.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Watt while you can trade Hayward. Let Rogers retire, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: let's try to let's try to take two steps back
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: so that we can take three steps forward. And you know,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin's mediocre success here over the last decade was
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: keeping them from doing anything like that because they just
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: kept convincing themselves maybe we're just a player or two away.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up next on the program, I mean
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell's joining us at seven oh five, we got
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: a lot to discuss with the forty nine ers in Seahawks,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: including the possible return of Fred Warner for Saturday. But
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna squeeze in something next that I do believe
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: people are wanting to hear about, and that is Mariner's
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: offseason stuff. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. The
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: latest on Fred Warner his possible return for the game
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. We'll discuss at all coming up at seven
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: o'clock here this morning on Chuck and Buck in the Morning.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Still want to let you know Matt Hasselbeck's joining us
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: today at eight o'clock. That's right, Every Wednesday throughout the playoffs,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: we'll check in with number eight at eight. Also, comedian
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Dustin Nickerson back on the show today at eight thirty.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: And I should tell you tomorrow at nine o'clock Dumper time.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: That's right, Dumper time. Our friend Cal Raley, who was
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: a Jeopardy question apparently last night or two nights ago,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: something like that. Yes, apparently that's a rarity for a
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: sports figure to become a Jeopardy question. So he totally
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: has now immersed as a pop culture icon. He's a
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: household names.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: When you know you've made it.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when Aaron Levine knows your name and he's not
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: because he's a portray reporter.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Aaron Levine's watching Jeopardy like, oh wow, is that guy
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: from Seattle?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Look that up.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Make a note card. Yeah, make a note card right there.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, cal Rally tomorrow at nine o'clock here on
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck in the morning. So we'll talk a
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: little football with him too. A huge football fan, that
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: cal Raley. So we'll do that tomorrow at nine o'clock.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I do want to point out, because we mentioned this
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: yesterday about the Mariners, that Ryan Sloan made the list
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: season yesterday as the number six right handed pitching prospect
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: and all of Major League Baseball just at age nineteen.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: You know, people are salivating over this kid. Kate Anderson
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: left handers yesterday number three. So think about that. I mean,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: this is a nineteen year old kid and then a
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: guy we just got in the draft this past year,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: and we've added them to already, or Anderson has been
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: added to already what was considered one of the best,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: if not the best, farm systems. So I'm there's so
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: many things to be excited about with this team right now,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: and yet a lot of grumbling about how we're not
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: spending any money again this off seat, and are we
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: just gonna let the Blue Jays get everyone. I would
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: like to tell people pull a little bit of a
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: break on that. I mean, the Blue Jays have really added,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: they've added Okamoto, and they've added Cease that they're also
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: gonna lose the shit. So yeah, they might be in
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: on Tucker, but if they don't get Tucker, then they're not.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Really it doesn't sound like in on anybody else. So
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: it's not like they've run away and hid. Yeah, they've
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: done more than what we have, but we haven't done nothing.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor's been re signed, we've added for Rare, and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: we've added Refsneider, and they've been very up front that
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: they're going to add another veteran piece through free agency
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: or a trade before the off season comes to a close.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's about as much as you can expect out there.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: If you're sitting in there gonna get broken hearted over
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: us not signing Kyle Tucker, you really do set yourself
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: up for a fall every off season.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Why would you do that to you?
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Well, I just I saw multiple things yesterday, and I
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: just chose to scroll right on by because it was
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: it was on posts of mind, like why don't you
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: when I said something about Dumper coming on, I get
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: won't you tell him to ask the ownership stop being
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: so cheap? And it's like, oh my gosh, I thought
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: when they did end up getting Naylor as quick as
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: they did right off the bat first move, and it
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: was a big one. Now, yes, it's bringing a guy back,
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: but he was a free agent, could have win anywhere.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: So basically after the last game money, he was no
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: longer a Mariner and then they signed him, and I
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: thought to myself, I wish you could have maybe drug
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: this out, like made it like a more of a
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: cording thing that maybe lasts for like you know, tell him, hey,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: you sign on the deadline. But we're gonna play this
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: up like it's taken a while so that at the
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: end it's like, see how hard we tried to get him,
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: and we won and we got him, because otherwise it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: gonna end up becoming like old news. And basically that's
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: like it's not like the Mariners haven't done anything, You're right,
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, if it was without Naylor the other additions
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: they've made. I would be like, you gotta get on
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: the ball, but you don't have to get on the
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: ball necessarily. They're probably not going to go get Kyle Tucker.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: As much as I would love it and anybody in
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: any baseball city would love it. They've they've made a
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: couple moves and they open to basically they're going to
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: make another one. It's just they're kind of waiting and
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: seeing how some of the big marble's fall.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: They're very transparent, they really are, I mean to a fault.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: They said the payroll is going to end up so
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: being somewhere around one ninety million where it was where
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: it ended last year, right, and that's around one ninety
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: million right now. There are one seventy now that all
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: the arbitration figures are in. So they've got the twenty
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: million dollar cushion and they're trying to find a bat
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to spend twenty million dollars on. If they don't do it,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: be angry. But right now, that's been the plan the
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: entire off season. So I don't know, I don't know
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: why people put themselves through this. If they don't get
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, they sucking they're cheap. It's never going to happen.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: It's just not the way that they're going to operate.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Sorry, And why set yourself up to be just angry
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: all the time.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Ye angry all the time. Greg Bell's next kJ RT
