Chuck & Buck 10-31 Hour 4: Hugh Millen's X's and O's, Mike Holmgren and Booze News! · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Pretty much just trying to pull off the unzipped check
0:04
Speaker 1: out my chest. Well oh yeah, look and I now
0:08
Speaker 1: know based on the photo we just took. I dressed
0:10
Speaker 1: as a sith Lord. Yes for Halloween. So happy Halloween everyone.
0:15
Speaker 1: We roll into the nine o'clock hour. It's time to
0:17
Speaker 1: be joined by our QB one. Hugh Millan is with
0:20
Speaker 1: us his x's and O segment brought to you by
0:23
Speaker 1: Frost Brewed Course, Light Choice Chill. Hello Hugh, Happy Halloween,
0:27
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween, good day, fun day. All right, what do
0:29
Speaker 1: you what are you handing out? Are you giving the
0:32
Speaker 1: missus h sweet potatoes with the with the marshmallows.
0:36
Speaker 2: And we're going with Halloween, so you know what Sea
0:39
Speaker 2: handles at. You know, I just say, go go to Costco.
0:42
Speaker 2: Make sure we get get the big I don't want
0:44
Speaker 2: people talking smack about us that we give out lightweight candy,
0:48
Speaker 2: So get the big stuff.
0:49
Speaker 1: I love the idea of like you sitting there just
0:52
Speaker 1: scooping out some sweet potatoes and just right into the
0:55
Speaker 1: bags of the kids.
0:57
Speaker 3: I kind of like that idea. Let's get the house
1:01
Speaker 3: toilet papered.
1:02
Speaker 1: After that, well, let's dive in seahawks take on the
1:06
Speaker 1: commanders on Sunday Night. I want to bring up something
1:10
Speaker 1: that we discussed right off the top of the show.
1:12
Speaker 1: I think maybe we haven't discussed enough how few times
1:15
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has been sacked this year, just nine compared
1:18
Speaker 1: to the two quarterbacks we had previously to Sam Donald,
1:21
Speaker 1: where that was a weekly issue that the Seahawks and
1:25
Speaker 1: we discussed about the Seahawks. I certainly think the offensive
1:29
Speaker 1: line is better, but I don't know if they deserve
1:32
Speaker 1: all the credit for that. Where does the credit go
1:34
Speaker 1: for how few times Sam Donald's been dumped on his keyster?
1:38
Speaker 2: Well, I think that the portion that Sam Donald deserves
1:41
Speaker 2: credit is is just an awareness of the threats that are,
1:47
Speaker 2: whether it's blitzes that he has an awareness of where
1:50
Speaker 2: his hot receivers are. Oftentimes he'll be looking down the
1:54
Speaker 2: field and and there'll be a flat of a potential
2:01
Speaker 2: sack of pressure, and then he'll quickly get the ball
2:05
Speaker 2: to the outlet he knows what even if they're on
2:07
Speaker 2: the opposite side of the field. He races through his
2:10
Speaker 2: progressions sometimes, you know, we'll oftentimes see him on a
2:13
Speaker 2: swing pass on this fifth progression off of just one hit.
2:16
Speaker 2: So I think mechanically you know, you know he's so
2:18
Speaker 2: signed of a veteran understanding it, and and then you
2:21
Speaker 2: know there's a scheme portion of it. They've they've protected
2:24
Speaker 2: a Lucas after Nick Bosa, you know rec Game one.
2:30
Speaker 2: Uh you saw thereafter a big effort to help a
2:33
Speaker 2: Lucas and and have tight ends chipping and what having
2:36
Speaker 2: really not leave an open.
2:38
Speaker 3: Edge to him.
2:38
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, as it's generally the case,
2:41
Speaker 2: it's it's a uh that there's a number of factors
2:43
Speaker 2: and you see that on tape.
2:45
Speaker 4: What how much do you put into how he's playing
2:49
Speaker 4: the position in how much credit do you give to
2:52
Speaker 4: kind of the attempt at being balanced at least? I mean,
2:56
Speaker 4: they're trying to run the ball. Maybe it's not crazy effective.
2:59
Speaker 4: I think it's sometimes they should give ken Walker just
3:01
Speaker 4: more times of handing it to him, you know, times
3:04
Speaker 4: in a row, let him kind of eat a little bit.
3:06
Speaker 4: But are you giving any credit to the way in
3:08
Speaker 4: which Sam Darnom's playing quarterback and taking.
3:11
Speaker 3: Care of the ball for the most part, to the
3:13
Speaker 3: balance attack?
3:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, the Seaxs are number one in terms of
3:17
Speaker 2: their run percentage, in which means they're dead last in
3:20
Speaker 2: terms of past percentage percentage of plays that are run,
3:23
Speaker 2: so they're trying. Unfortunately, at thirtieth in the league, they're
3:28
Speaker 2: near the bottom in terms of the yards per rush,
3:31
Speaker 2: and I don't see any improvement likely to happen. Last
3:36
Speaker 2: year they went in weeks one through eight they were
3:39
Speaker 2: four point three. Then for the second half of the
3:43
Speaker 2: year there four point two, So they went from twentieth
3:46
Speaker 2: that actually went to eighteenth the year before. They went
3:49
Speaker 2: from four point three in the first half they dropped
3:51
Speaker 2: to four point zero the second. So you know, history
3:55
Speaker 2: has shown as they're not likely to improve. If you
3:57
Speaker 2: look at schematically the outside it's kind of funny. I
4:01
Speaker 2: can use the term comparative advantage. Their best play relative
4:05
Speaker 2: of the league is the outside zone at four point
4:08
Speaker 2: two yards per attempt, but that's just nineteenth of all
4:12
Speaker 2: teams running the outside zone. Inside zone they're twenty fourth.
4:18
Speaker 2: The gap scheme where you're blocking down and then pulling
4:21
Speaker 2: guards gap in power encounter, those are gap skins. They're
4:24
Speaker 2: twenty eighth and twenty first in the league and yards
4:26
Speaker 2: per temp respectively. Another play called duo where you get
4:30
Speaker 2: double teams on to the strong side but you don't
4:32
Speaker 2: pull it back guy they're three and a half yards,
4:35
Speaker 2: they're twenty sixth So I'm looking for ways like, hey,
4:38
Speaker 2: you know, maybe have a little shift away from that,
4:41
Speaker 2: you know, go from here. This has really been working
4:43
Speaker 2: for you. I'm looking for it. I can't find it.
4:46
Speaker 2: I don't expect there to be a real material change
4:50
Speaker 2: in the quality of the running game. But I think
4:53
Speaker 2: that to your point, if you do keep investing in
4:56
Speaker 2: those body blows, maybe that helps reduce the sacks. For
5:01
Speaker 2: what that's worth, the Commanders come in at at eight
5:04
Speaker 2: point eight percent of passes result in sacks against the
5:08
Speaker 2: Commander defense. That's eighth in the NFL. A little bit
5:11
Speaker 2: of a concern there, particularly deron payin over on Abe
5:14
Speaker 2: Lucas's side. As I mentioned, he's got the third highest
5:18
Speaker 2: uh cap number of any defensive player in the league.
5:23
Speaker 2: How about that at twenty six million. So so you
5:26
Speaker 2: got you gotta be aware of him. Other than that,
5:29
Speaker 2: the defense, you know, the Commander defenses is not good.
5:33
Speaker 2: They're falling off, and so I think that there should
5:35
Speaker 2: be opportunities for some some you know, get their running
5:39
Speaker 2: game going a little bit. And certainly Sam Darnold on
5:42
Speaker 2: paper should have another good game.
5:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm expecting it. Hugh Millan is with us Ora
5:47
Speaker 1: QB one here, x Is and Oz segment every Friday
5:50
Speaker 1: during the football season on the defensive side of the ball.
5:54
Speaker 1: I know that you are a member of the Mike
5:56
Speaker 1: McDonald admiration society. You think a lot of his skill
6:01
Speaker 1: as a defensive minded head coach. And yet he says
6:06
Speaker 1: earlier this week, or at least revealed to Greg Bell,
6:10
Speaker 1: that I finally get to implement my defense now that
6:13
Speaker 1: I got Witherspoon and Emon Worri and the secondary together.
6:17
Speaker 1: What do you think that means? What does that unlock
6:20
Speaker 1: for McDonald? Well, I've spent a lot of time thinking
6:23
Speaker 1: about this week. I think for me, I think that
6:27
Speaker 1: involves Witherspoon plane out at cornerback when they're in nickel
6:33
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks right now are number one in the
6:36
Speaker 1: percentage of nickel at eighty seven point eight percent. They're
6:40
Speaker 1: just twentieth in the use of dime at three and
6:44
Speaker 1: a half percent. So I think you're going to see
6:46
Speaker 1: more dime with Witherspoon as one overhang defender and Emon
6:51
Speaker 1: Worry as the other. So you know, I think you
6:53
Speaker 1: can bring more blitzes. You know, and he likes to
6:57
Speaker 1: bring the zone pressures that you know, there is something
7:00
Speaker 1: about Nick m and Worry.
7:01
Speaker 3: Uh.
7:01
Speaker 2: You know, I'm really interested in in when the Seahawks
7:06
Speaker 2: play cover one. So I went in and look, there's
7:09
Speaker 2: been thirteen snaps. Cover one is just man and man
7:12
Speaker 2: with a free safety. That is the conventional way teams
7:14
Speaker 2: play man and man. There's been thirteen snaps with m
7:17
Speaker 2: and Worry playing cover one. He has just lined up.
7:21
Speaker 2: Here's the evidence. He just lines up and he covers
7:23
Speaker 2: whoever number two is, number two is counting outside in
7:26
Speaker 2: the widest guy to the sideline, that's number one. He
7:29
Speaker 2: whoever's in number two, and you know he's he has
7:33
Speaker 2: he has. Amm and Worry has covered Jalen Nowell three times.
7:38
Speaker 2: He's five foot ten, two hundred one pounds. He's covered
7:41
Speaker 2: Braxton Burrios five nine and one hundred and eighty fives.
7:45
Speaker 2: He's covered Jaydon Higgins sixty four two fifteen. He's covered
7:48
Speaker 2: Tim Patrick sixty four to two ten. He's covered tight
7:52
Speaker 2: ends on three or four occasions. He's covered. He covered
7:55
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffery up for one snap before he got hurt
7:57
Speaker 2: in the forty nine ers. He covered Chris Godwin and
8:00
Speaker 2: uh A six one two O nine A Mecca Buka
8:03
Speaker 2: six one two of five like all side, what that
8:07
Speaker 2: should tell you? In thirteen snaps he has covered whomever however,
8:12
Speaker 2: big or small receiver, tight end doesn't matter. He just
8:15
Speaker 2: covers that guy. And by the way, he's only been
8:17
Speaker 2: targeted one time out of those thirteen snaps. It was
8:20
Speaker 2: on a fader route Who's fourteen for Houston uh Uhxavier Hutchinson.
8:29
Speaker 2: I think it was Jaylen Noel okay, and he covered
8:33
Speaker 2: him beautifully and and it was an incomplete So he
8:35
Speaker 2: has in man coverage. He has targeted once no completion,
8:39
Speaker 2: So so that is very encouraging to me when I
8:42
Speaker 2: consider you know him at six three two twenty. I
8:45
Speaker 2: ran into Buddha Baker kind of in a golf thing
8:47
Speaker 2: and we were talking about Emon Warrey in the offseason
8:51
Speaker 2: and he had worked out with him. I hope I'm
8:53
Speaker 2: not violating any confidence from Buddha, but you know, he
8:56
Speaker 2: had he really praised Nick. But you know, we we
8:59
Speaker 2: kind of talked about does he have that short area.
9:01
Speaker 2: You know, if somebody runs a whip route, starts the
9:03
Speaker 2: shall across, snaps back out, does he have the quickness,
9:06
Speaker 2: and Buddha's like, well, you know, he kind of gave well,
9:08
Speaker 2: you know, you want to say it, but you know
9:09
Speaker 2: he kind of could read read into it. So you know,
9:12
Speaker 2: so there's legit concerns about a two hundred and twenty
9:15
Speaker 2: pounds man. Uh you know, Guardian, as I said, a
9:18
Speaker 2: five nine eighty five, I promise you if your business
9:21
Speaker 2: card says wide receiver and you are five nine one
9:23
Speaker 2: eighty five, you are quick as hell. And and yet
9:28
Speaker 2: the the sea arcs hey because of his length. It's
9:32
Speaker 2: kind of like when you play a guy in one
9:34
Speaker 2: on one basketball. I'm six five, so I I, you know,
9:37
Speaker 2: long arms. But but you know, if I play a
9:39
Speaker 2: shorter guy, you know, I say, hey, he's quicker than me.
9:41
Speaker 2: But if I'm quick enough, my length is going to
9:44
Speaker 2: be a problem. Even though he absolutely he's quicker than me.
9:47
Speaker 3: But but I.
9:48
Speaker 2: Can still, you know, you know, just create some create
9:51
Speaker 2: some problems, or at least that's the theory, you know.
9:53
Speaker 2: You know, So, yes, Rason Barrios at five nine five
9:56
Speaker 2: is quicker, but he him and worry is quick enough
10:00
Speaker 2: and his strength and his length is able to compensate.
10:03
Speaker 2: So it's an important part of what they do. And
10:06
Speaker 2: now with Witherspoon, we'll see what kind of zone pressures
10:10
Speaker 2: and simulated pressures.
10:11
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see it.
10:12
Speaker 2: We haven't seen those two guys on the field together,
10:15
Speaker 2: and I'm just that's going to be a Halloween treat
10:18
Speaker 2: in itself.
10:19
Speaker 4: All Right, You keep that Mike McDonald defensive hat on,
10:23
Speaker 4: because I mean, I have a little bit of concern
10:25
Speaker 4: about the strength that is the Seahawks defense, or the
10:29
Speaker 4: defense in general is the strength. But they do tend
10:31
Speaker 4: to stop the run. I think their ranked number one
10:33
Speaker 4: in the NFL at that right now, and yet I
10:36
Speaker 4: could foresee some possible trouble if they let Jayden Daniels
10:40
Speaker 4: get loose, or this Bill McCroskey merrit Kid get loose,
10:44
Speaker 4: and possibly even Debo Samuel that they might use. Greg
10:47
Speaker 4: was mentioning he might be used in the run game
10:49
Speaker 4: as well. So what's your game plan to make sure
10:51
Speaker 4: that that run game stasts out like it has been?
10:54
Speaker 5: Yeah?
10:54
Speaker 2: I like the Seahawks matchup against je Gory cross Get
10:59
Speaker 2: merit Man. He's their number one running back, but rushing
11:03
Speaker 2: yards per attempt on designed runs, that's excluding the scrambles.
11:07
Speaker 2: The Commanders at five point zero that's second in the NFL.
11:10
Speaker 2: That gets your tention. But I think I still think Seattle.
11:13
Speaker 2: That's a strength of Seattle. They're number one in the NFL,
11:15
Speaker 2: the Seahawks at three point three one opponent yards per rush.
11:19
Speaker 2: By the way, the Commanders are are nineteenth.
11:22
Speaker 3: In the league.
11:23
Speaker 2: But I think that the question when you're talking about
11:27
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels and the scramble Daniels per game he has,
11:31
Speaker 2: He's five exactly five scrambles per game. That's first in
11:34
Speaker 2: the NFL. To put that into context, Lamar Jackson is
11:37
Speaker 2: only two point two scrambles per game. Again, Daniels five
11:41
Speaker 2: rushing yard or excuse me yards per game in scrambles
11:46
Speaker 2: thirty six doesn't sound a lot, but if you get
11:48
Speaker 2: three or four first downs, that can really hurt you.
11:51
Speaker 2: And his scramble percentage thirteen point seven percent of his
11:55
Speaker 2: times when he drops back that's number one again, is
12:00
Speaker 2: only seven and a half percent. So so here's the thing.
12:03
Speaker 2: Contain this has been a problem for Seattle. It costs,
12:06
Speaker 2: you know, on a contained DeMarcus, Lawrence lost. Contain when
12:11
Speaker 2: Brock Purty extended to play on the game winner in
12:13
Speaker 2: Week one. If Jacksonville was going to have an unlikely comeback.
12:17
Speaker 2: Remember when they Trevor Lawrence had converted that unlikely fourth
12:22
Speaker 2: and five that was losing. Contained right handed quarterback out
12:27
Speaker 2: the right side, he throws across his body. If you
12:29
Speaker 2: if you win that play, you're not even sweating that game.
12:31
Speaker 2: So this has been a problem. Obviously, Daniel's a right
12:34
Speaker 2: handed quarterback. You've got to keep him outside.
12:37
Speaker 1: Now.
12:37
Speaker 2: When he does get outside the pocket, his attempts three
12:42
Speaker 2: point eight per per per game, that's thirty third. But
12:48
Speaker 2: his scramble percentage when he gets out he you know
12:50
Speaker 2: a lot of times they say guys are looking when
12:52
Speaker 2: they scramble, they're looking to pass. When he scrambles, he's
12:55
Speaker 2: looking to scramble. When he gets outside the pocket, fifty
12:58
Speaker 2: one percent times he's going to run the ball. That's
13:01
Speaker 2: second in the NFL. And outside the pocket his passer
13:04
Speaker 2: rating is one hundred and eighteenth.
13:05
Speaker 3: That's eight.
13:06
Speaker 2: So I would just say this, he's a right handed quarterback.
13:08
Speaker 2: If you're gonna make if you're going to allow him
13:11
Speaker 2: to get out of the pocket, have your breakdown be
13:14
Speaker 2: so that he's a right hand quarterback going to his left.
13:17
Speaker 2: But don't But we got to stop this issue of
13:20
Speaker 2: letting a right handed quarterback out the right handed side
13:23
Speaker 2: of the pocket, so that those components in stopping the
13:27
Speaker 2: run I think are gonna be a vital on Sunday.
13:30
Speaker 1: Well, you have Daniels who obviously is a running threat.
13:33
Speaker 1: Samuel is your wide receiver one without Terry McLaurin, and
13:37
Speaker 1: he's mostly a running back threat. And then you have
13:41
Speaker 1: the actual run game that they implement. Does that work
13:45
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks and their number one ranked rush defense
13:49
Speaker 1: or does that work against it? To have that many
13:51
Speaker 1: weapons coming at you, I kind of like seat. I
13:55
Speaker 1: think that they have an ability to build a wall
13:58
Speaker 1: and really spill things to the outside. I think now
14:01
Speaker 1: with with Witherspoon back on the field, they're gonna have
14:04
Speaker 1: more team speed.
14:04
Speaker 3: If if they want to run outside, I think you
14:06
Speaker 3: spill that.
14:07
Speaker 2: And and if Emon worries an alley player an overhang
14:11
Speaker 2: player on one side, and uh and and Witherspoon is
14:15
Speaker 2: on the other, I think I think those guys are
14:17
Speaker 2: gonna they can cover a lot of ground to the flat.
14:20
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I I feel pretty good about it,
14:23
Speaker 3: Chuck Uh.
14:24
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think the concern you know,
14:27
Speaker 2: we talked about the Seahawks and covering tight ends, and
14:30
Speaker 2: we talked about it before the Cardinals and then Trade McBride.
14:32
Speaker 2: Still he went off relatively. So the Seahawks giving up
14:37
Speaker 2: sixty three yards per game to tight ends, that's that's
14:40
Speaker 2: eighth most, and they're passer rating when the Seahawks all
14:45
Speaker 2: passes going to non tight ends. Uh, the the opponent
14:50
Speaker 2: passer rating against the Seahawks is seventy eight, so Seahawks
14:53
Speaker 2: are fourth best. But but when opponents target a tight end,
14:58
Speaker 2: the passer rating jumps.
15:00
Speaker 3: From seventy eight to one hundred and seven passer rating.
15:03
Speaker 2: So in zach Ertz, you know, look, he's passes pride
15:05
Speaker 2: and he's on the injury report, but he's a heady guy.
15:08
Speaker 2: He's got moxie. He knows how to find holes and zones.
15:12
Speaker 2: You know, that's an issue and and somewhat related to that,
15:15
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm just kind of my notes here.
15:19
Speaker 2: Here's an interesting split for Jaden Daniels his pass. Now,
15:23
Speaker 2: you wouldn't expect that teams would play a lot of
15:27
Speaker 2: man to man because Jayden Daniels has such a running threat,
15:30
Speaker 2: and they say, well, who's gonna who's gonna cover him?
15:33
Speaker 2: If you who's gonna spy him if he runs? But
15:37
Speaker 2: if against cover one Jaden Daniels, his passer rating is
15:42
Speaker 2: sixty eight. That's thirty third in the NFL. You know,
15:46
Speaker 2: contrast that to you know, a cover two of five
15:50
Speaker 2: under zone where everybody's eyes are on the quarterback. That's
15:52
Speaker 2: probably what he's used to seeing throughout his career because
15:55
Speaker 2: he probably doesn't see a lot of man. His passer
15:57
Speaker 2: rating is one hundred fourteen. Let me say that again,
15:59
Speaker 2: Man to man sixty eight and it jumps to one
16:02
Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen in against a very conservative zone. So
16:05
Speaker 2: so and then I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:07
Speaker 2: There's two ways to play man and man cover one.
16:10
Speaker 2: You can rush four and have a spy, and you
16:13
Speaker 2: can rush five. If there's no way he's seeing man
16:17
Speaker 2: rushes because there's literally nobody for the quarterback. Well, it's happened,
16:22
Speaker 2: and his passer rating is only forty four. So how
16:25
Speaker 2: lucky are you feeling, Mike McDonald if you want to
16:29
Speaker 2: run a five man cover one, This guy has really
16:33
Speaker 2: had a problem. As I said, he doesn't see a
16:35
Speaker 2: lot of man and man. I think there's more of
16:36
Speaker 2: a primacy on accuracy, maybe less of a primacy on anticipation,
16:41
Speaker 2: you know. So there's a skill set that's different. He
16:44
Speaker 2: doesn't see a lot of man and man. If you
16:45
Speaker 2: want to throw five guys out of him, I wouldn't
16:48
Speaker 2: have the guts to do it. But those who have
16:50
Speaker 2: have had success. So that's something to watch as well.
16:52
Speaker 2: If you see on Sunday Night where Jayden Daniels scrambles
16:56
Speaker 2: for like a twenty seven yarder and they're going man
16:59
Speaker 2: to man, just count the number are there? Is it
17:02
Speaker 2: a fore man rush or a five because you know
17:04
Speaker 2: fore man rush. Yeah, at least you gonna have a
17:06
Speaker 2: spy there. Maybe Ernest Jones will whoever it is, feel
17:09
Speaker 2: like he can he can hunt him down.
17:11
Speaker 3: But if you rush five man, you better hold your breath.
17:14
Speaker 1: Hell of a breakdown right there.
17:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I just started this week really listening to this.
17:20
Speaker 1: Is that right?
17:20
Speaker 5: Why?
17:21
Speaker 4: Once you told me that he's a former NFL quarterback,
17:24
Speaker 4: I was like, then he probably I should probably pay attention.
17:29
Speaker 1: Alright, man, Well, thank you, thanks, great, break a lot,
17:35
Speaker 1: all right, have a good weekend, all right down QB

Speaker 6: Western Washington for over twenty years now, Mike com Grin
18:10
Speaker 6: with Chuck and Buck.
18:13
Speaker 1: What Coach Holmergan's got planned for Halloween tonight? I probably
18:16
Speaker 1: just scared a crap out all the kids in the neighborhood.
18:18
Speaker 3: Don't you think so? I think more is that?
18:21
Speaker 4: I mean, I think nowadays he's just kind of, you know,
18:24
Speaker 4: answers a door, big burly, but you know, calm, and
18:28
Speaker 4: then hands out probably king sized candyb.
18:30
Speaker 1: Well sin as far from b Bbe pulled that trick
18:33
Speaker 1: on it. He doesn't trust Halloween anymore possible.
18:37
Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning, guys. Yeah, ruined Halloween for me forever. No,
18:43
Speaker 5: it's but Bucky's right, I'm a handout, big candy bars person.
18:50
Speaker 5: But again, we live in a condos, so we don't
18:55
Speaker 5: get anything. No one comes where we are. So but
18:58
Speaker 5: when we were in a neighborhood and at a house, yeah,
19:02
Speaker 5: it was, it was. And Green Bay it was funny.
19:03
Speaker 5: In Green Bay, they they sat, it was very structured.
19:06
Speaker 5: They set times between six and eight or you know,
19:09
Speaker 5: and then they shut everything down. And in small city
19:13
Speaker 5: can do that. Small town so it was fun always
19:16
Speaker 5: like Halloween, and then growing up, I remember one quick thing.
19:19
Speaker 5: We didn't have any money, so, uh, my dad was Halloween. Okay,
19:24
Speaker 5: what are you gonna be a My dad goes, I
19:26
Speaker 5: think he should be a hobo. So I wore a
19:29
Speaker 5: my T shirt, jeans that he got a stick for me.
19:32
Speaker 5: I had a bag on the end of it. You're
19:33
Speaker 5: all set go.
19:34
Speaker 3: Same, yeah, I say.
19:35
Speaker 4: I wore his T shirt, his jeans, stuffed a pillow
19:38
Speaker 4: in the butt and a pillow in the stomach, and
19:41
Speaker 4: then the stick in a handkerchief.
19:43
Speaker 3: With that I walked around with and charcoal on my face.
19:46
Speaker 3: Five yeah.
19:52
Speaker 1: Uh, Coach Olgren with us right here on Chuck and
19:54
Speaker 1: Buck in the morning, all right, let's talk a little football.
19:57
Speaker 1: Taking on the Commanders on Sunday night. Man, the Commanders
20:01
Speaker 1: are just so beat up and they're playing on short rest,
20:04
Speaker 1: where the Seahawks might be the healthiest they've been all
20:07
Speaker 1: season long and got a bye week. I mean, how
20:09
Speaker 1: big of an advantage does that feel like the Seahawks
20:12
Speaker 1: have heading into Sunday Night.
20:14
Speaker 5: Well, it couldn't have come at a better time. And
20:16
Speaker 5: it's a huge advantage, and particularly the way Washington schedules
20:20
Speaker 5: set up. And it also goes to show you, and
20:24
Speaker 5: not just Washington, but all the teams, you lose your
20:27
Speaker 5: starting quarterback for a while, it changes everything. It just
20:30
Speaker 5: changes everything. Your defense has to be spectacular otherwise you're
20:34
Speaker 5: going to lose the football game. It's not the same
20:38
Speaker 5: now they get Jayden Daniels back, Washington does. But I
20:40
Speaker 5: think tremendous advantage to the Seahawks this week.
20:44
Speaker 1: Coach.
20:44
Speaker 4: I've been kind of discounting the five and two to
20:48
Speaker 4: some degree, not totally. I mean, I think that this
20:50
Speaker 4: is a really good football team, and yet I was
20:52
Speaker 4: saying earlier in the show that I don't feel great
20:55
Speaker 4: about any of their wins and the couple teams they've
20:58
Speaker 4: lost to I think I feel like they maybe are better.
21:01
Speaker 4: Maybe not the Niners as hurt as they are, but
21:04
Speaker 4: the Buccaneers, I do think, even though that was a
21:06
Speaker 4: close ballgame. So I kind of want you to coach
21:08
Speaker 4: me up as if you if you were to have
21:10
Speaker 4: heard me say that, just let me know exactly how
21:13
Speaker 4: difficult wins are, whether it's against the Cardinals, Saints, you know, Texans,
21:17
Speaker 4: or even the you know, Steelers and Jaguars, who both
21:20
Speaker 4: have winning records.
21:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with you, Bucky. That's kind of how
21:25
Speaker 5: I've been thinking as well. They won some really close games,
21:29
Speaker 5: and you know, they lost a couple of close games,
21:32
Speaker 5: but they've been relatively close most of the time against
21:35
Speaker 5: teams that in the beginning of the season I thought
21:38
Speaker 5: would just be okay, you know that they're middle of
21:41
Speaker 5: the road teams and now I tall Washington, excuse me,
21:47
Speaker 5: would be a real challenge. But they've been hurt and
21:49
Speaker 5: banged up and they're not the same team that was
21:51
Speaker 5: at the beginning of the season. So I kind of
21:54
Speaker 5: agree with you. I think, however, they would stand out.
21:59
Speaker 5: What stood out to me was how their defense and
22:02
Speaker 5: how the secondary in particular has played even with the
22:04
Speaker 5: injured guys, the new guys, the young guys come in
22:07
Speaker 5: and they're playing pretty well. Why because the defensive front
22:10
Speaker 5: has been spectacular. I mean, they've really done a nice
22:13
Speaker 5: job up front, and then Sam Darnold is playing very
22:17
Speaker 5: very well on offense. And of course the receiver Jigma
22:20
Speaker 5: is just shooting lights out. I suspect in the second
22:24
Speaker 5: half of the season, though, teams have to do something
22:28
Speaker 5: about him, you know, because it's he's just he's just
22:33
Speaker 5: doing whatever he wants out there, and he's looking great
22:35
Speaker 5: doing it.
22:35
Speaker 1: What would you do with him? You have a wide
22:38
Speaker 1: receiver that just continuously keeps getting open and a quarterback
22:41
Speaker 1: that loves throwing to him. At one point, do you say, well,
22:45
Speaker 1: if you're not going to take it away from me,
22:46
Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep going. Or do you have
22:49
Speaker 1: to kind of create the balance that might be more
22:53
Speaker 1: long term beneficial.
22:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you have to create the balance, and
22:57
Speaker 5: then you know, I can remember I remember I think
23:01
Speaker 5: I don't know if we mentioned it before, but we
23:04
Speaker 5: played Carolina in the championship game and d Steve Smith
23:06
Speaker 5: was a great receiver for them, and I stayed away
23:10
Speaker 5: from Fritz Sherman and my coordinators in Seattle as well.
23:17
Speaker 5: Let them do it. Except when I knew the receiver
23:19
Speaker 5: and I knew kind of what I knew the team
23:21
Speaker 5: on offense would do, and I went in and I
23:24
Speaker 5: just said, listen, I don't know, you make your plan,
23:27
Speaker 5: but I want him hit or at the line of
23:29
Speaker 5: scrimmage on every play. I want him banged round so
23:32
Speaker 5: he just can't get into the secondary. And so I
23:35
Speaker 5: think teams, if it was me, that's what I would
23:38
Speaker 5: do with Enjigma, you know, just make sure that he
23:41
Speaker 5: just can't release cleanly. When he does that, he finds
23:44
Speaker 5: he's good enough and he finds the open area, and
23:47
Speaker 5: you know, to say, okay, if we stop Jigma, that
23:51
Speaker 5: will open up other guys. I said, okay, fine, but
23:55
Speaker 5: we're going to stop this guy. This guy can't can't
23:58
Speaker 5: beat this by himself.
24:00
Speaker 1: Well, what about jayde Daniels. What would you do with him?
24:04
Speaker 1: If you had a talent who's who's a little banged
24:07
Speaker 1: up right now, but you know you want him to
24:08
Speaker 1: run a little bit. But how much do you just
24:11
Speaker 1: uncork him? Considering his recent injuries though, what kind of
24:15
Speaker 1: factor is he going to be Sunday night?
24:18
Speaker 5: Well, I think he's going to be a big factor.
24:19
Speaker 5: He's going to a big, big boost to the team. Now,
24:22
Speaker 5: how he handles his injury, how the injury affects his play,
24:27
Speaker 5: that'll be one one thing to watch. I don't think
24:30
Speaker 5: Chuck that I think he's going to play the way
24:32
Speaker 5: he plays. You might tell him now just you know,
24:36
Speaker 5: be a little cautious, but that falls on deaf ears.
24:39
Speaker 5: He's going to play and react to a particular play
24:43
Speaker 5: or a situation because he's an athlete and that's what
24:45
Speaker 5: he does. So you just pray that that he doesn't
24:48
Speaker 5: get if you're the you know, Washington, that he doesn't
24:51
Speaker 5: get banged up again because they really need him to
24:54
Speaker 5: play well to have a chance to win the game.
24:56
Speaker 1: All right, So is there any truth to Halloween trick
24:59
Speaker 1: or tree? In Green Bay? You just hand out cheese,
25:02
Speaker 1: just like craft singles and curds and stuff like that.
25:05
Speaker 5: Yeah, cheese, curds, crackers.
25:07
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, there's no candy.
25:09
Speaker 5: There's maybe some maybe some sausage. I would, I would,
25:14
Speaker 5: you know, you gotta you gotta kind of heavy heavy
25:16
Speaker 5: it up and the kids look at you, Oh I candy, no, no, no,
25:19
Speaker 5: have this taste this, you know, look at you either,
25:24
Speaker 5: Are you serious?
25:25
Speaker 1: I'd love to. I love the idea of just uh
25:28
Speaker 1: Kathy just dropping too. You know, well cooked brought worst
25:31
Speaker 1: into a little kids candy bag.
25:34
Speaker 3: I love that.
25:34
Speaker 5: There you go, and you might give a little jar
25:36
Speaker 5: that little mustard with it, you know, just just to
25:38
Speaker 5: make sure that you know, and if it's bucky. I listened,
25:42
Speaker 5: since I had BUCkies, since you treated me with the dip,
25:46
Speaker 5: I would figure out a way to do that somehow
25:48
Speaker 5: to and include that in make it a buffet.
25:51
Speaker 1: Yeah all right, individual ELK dip packets.
25:54
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, or you just put I could actually could
25:57
Speaker 4: stop me from having to even answer the door. I
25:59
Speaker 4: don't have tri or teers, but just put the crock
26:01
Speaker 4: pot full of it with a bag of chips and
26:03
Speaker 4: the way it will come up and just dip a
26:05
Speaker 4: chip and I tell my two chips only.
26:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, but well you know that how long would that last?
26:11
Speaker 5: You know? You have these people that put the bucket
26:13
Speaker 5: of candy, I just take one, you know, and then
26:16
Speaker 5: you get some some dingling come in there and just
26:18
Speaker 5: dumps the whole thing into his thing and says, eight,
26:22
Speaker 5: I'm here first, I'm getting all, you know.

28:54
Speaker 1: our show a lot.
28:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, clearly not because he missed a big part of it.
28:58
Speaker 3: Hurt.

Speaker 8: with things you've got around your house, easy peasy. Now
29:16
Speaker 8: these are, of course just off the top of my head.
29:18
Speaker 8: We're just spitballing here. But you could unfold a cardboard box,
29:21
Speaker 8: add some straps, wear it over your shoulders, and that's
29:24
Speaker 8: your Jeopardy Jeopardy table.
29:25
Speaker 7: You are now local legend a Ron Levine.
