  Speaker 2: in the Morning Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. And when
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I say brand new, I mean it's the same old Chuck.

  Speaker 2: It's that guy. That guy you've grown tired of over

  Speaker 2: the last decade plus. Uh, it's just got new things

• 1:26
  Speaker 2: see you, too. You're not new and improved? Um, well,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: in some areas, but we can't talk about those on
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the air. But anyway. Fair enough. You know. Yeah. But anyway,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: thank you, Dr. Implant.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I was going to ask, did you speak
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: with Neil Scott when he was here? No, no. Nobody wants.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He was great. Nobody wants. No, I know. Nobody wants
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the Reebok. I love Neil. Nobody wants the Reebok pump
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: penis that Neil's got. Wow. Off to a flying start.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: 6-0-2.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Here we go. Travis Moger started it. He's here
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: as well. Great morning to you all here on this Tuesday.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: By the way, there's something very important because, you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: when you have coworkers, you don't always see eye to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: eye with them at all times. And Ashley and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: certainly didn't. Bucky and I certainly didn't. But you know
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the common ground that Ashley and I always had. What
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: was it? What we did love together. Yeah. and that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: is the fall season. Oh, it's my favorite season, so
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. Okay, all right. Easily, easily
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: number one. I was afraid that was going to be
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: taken from my life. I'm not worried about Ashley's personality
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: or her friendship or her professionalism or just her overall
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: human behavior. No. But I was going to miss if
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: nobody else liked fall on the show.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm definitely like falls numero uno for like, By
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: a pretty large margin. I think September and October are
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: like the two best months, at least in Seattle.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: October is the best month of the entire year.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Because I like a little bit of the kind of
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: fading out of summer, September-ish area.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I like that, yeah. But October, you're right. Oh, it's...
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Number one. But have you noticed already that leaves are
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: already falling?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And it's pissing me off. I don't know why that's happening.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I even asked two landscapers over the weekend, like, why
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: is this happening? And I got the whole, no, trees
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: need water. We didn't have any water. And I just
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: wanted him to say- Something different than that. I didn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: want him to make logical sense.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you wanted him to be sarcastic or complaining about it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Something about it. Like, doesn't it suck? Let's go have
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a pumpkin latte together and drown our sorrows and welcome
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the fall before it's gone in seven days.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: That is one of the pumpkin lattes are one of
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the things I don't like about fall.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I will say that. I'm not a big pumpkin latte guy.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I like my normal coffee. I liked them when I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: first had it, but now that I'm just a black
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: coffee drinker, that I can't do them. They're way too sweet.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: But when I first started drinking coffee, I got introduced
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to them. I'm like, Oh, this is like heaven's serum.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Pretty good, yeah. Yeah, I think it just gets overdone sometimes.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Does it get overdone?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well, and people say when they say fall, it's like, oh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the pumpkin lattes. No, I like the colors. I like football.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I like the Premier League starting, all that stuff.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Halloween. Halloween. Exactly, exactly. I do love that pumpkin is
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: in our lives, though. I am a big pumpkin fan. Yeah. Anyway,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: just had to gauge, just had to make sure. Travis,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you on the fall train here? Summer is my favorite. Oh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you're one of those. Yeah. But I do appreciate autumn. Autumn. Wow. Wow.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It goes with the proper name. You appreciate it. There's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: four seasons. Where does it rank out of the four?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Number two.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Okay. Mine's number one fall, number two fall, number three fall,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and everything else is fall. And number four autumn.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: All right, well, great to have you all with us. Yes, so, yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: already in a good mood by the changing of the leaves,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the changing of the season, be able to drive in
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: in a beanie in 55-degree weather this morning. Wonderful stuff.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But also football is a major part of that as well,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and we have now seen every team in the National
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Football League play a game, a regular season game this
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: year after last night's Monday Night Affair where the Kansas
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: City Chiefs absolutely destroyed the Denver Broncos. by a final
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: score of 31-10. Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix both made
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: their returns from injuries. Both of them looked rusty in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the first half. Mahomes got going in the second half.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Nix never did. But the real story in the game
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and the real topic here this morning in Seattle is
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I can't believe we gave up that running back from
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: last night. Ken Walker was amazing last night. He had
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: 23 carries, 173 yards and a touchdown. He had three
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: catches for 18 yards and a second touchdown. He was
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: absolutely spectacular. I mean, that is what we saw last night.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: We'll get into it and whether or not it can continue.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That is the perfect running back right there in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: National Football League. Anders running between the tackles for tough yards,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: being patient like he was at the end of last
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: season during our playoff run, our Super Bowl run, where
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: he was arguably the best player. At least offensively. Well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. We have a guy named JSN.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: But he was his best in the playoffs, won the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP, and for some reason he pushed this button,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like this Le'Veon Bell button, and introduced this new patient
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: running style that we hadn't really seen much of in
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: the past, and he used that last night. We did
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: see him get to the edge many times, change up
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a play, and then when he turns the corner, he's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: as fast as anyone. He ran for tough yards. He
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: had a nose for the goal line last night. I mean,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that is as good as you can play the position
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: last night. And Kansas City Chiefs fans are waking up
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: this morning thinking Patrick Mahomes just added his Terrell Davis.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and it's funny because Mahomes, during his entire career,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: has had really good weapons, whether it's Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: lately Rasheed Rice and Xavier Worthy, right? But he hasn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: really had an elite running back. in his entire career yet.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So this is going to be a new experience for
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL to see how this affects him,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: because it's a lot of guys that he was normally
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: able to throw to, and he can still throw to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker. But having that running game look like that
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: last night against what I thought, maybe I was alone
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: in this, to be one of the best defenses in
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the NFL.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, you weren't alone, statistically proven. And they look... Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: they couldn't tackle. Oh, my God. And that speaks a
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: little bit to what all the NFL people are talking about.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: And Peyton Manning and the Manning cast talked about it.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Look at this terrible tackling. I guess they missed 16
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: tackles last night and 11 on Walker alone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Like Walker broke 11 tackles last night. I saw a stat.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I think it was 298 yards were added because of
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: missed tackles. It's the most since the NFL started tracking
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: that stat and ever. In a single game. So Denver,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: for whatever reason, looked surprisingly bad.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Well, that's an ongoing thing that's being discussed right now.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: It used to be that the offenses started slowly because
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the defense is a beehive and the offense is a
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: symphony that requires timing a little bit more. But right now,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and this is a byproduct of how many points were
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: put on the board in the opening week, but right
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: now the sentiment is that What was missed out by
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the way we practice now is that guys aren't ready
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to tackle. And that's been brought up in years past,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but now people are leaning into that pretty heavily this week,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and we saw it on display last night, and Ken
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Walker was the benefactor.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he took advantage of it, that's for sure. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: it just kind of adds a little to my frustration
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: because I don't know the full definition, Range of opinions
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: on whether Seahawks fans wanted to keep him.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But that's not even why I'm frustrated. Like, I wanted
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to keep him.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: But, you know, at the end of the day, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: still think we got a good running back in Jadarian Price.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: We'll see what ends up happening. But the fact that
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: we never really gave him the full bell cow workload.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: It kind of shows that he had a little bit
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: of untapped potential here in Seattle. And the other thing
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: that was added to his game last night that we
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: never saw him, maybe it was a Ken Walker thing,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: maybe it was a Seahawks design thing, catching balls out
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: of the backfield. It just it was never a part
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: of his game here in Seattle. I don't know why
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it always seemed like he could. They just never kind
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: of added that element.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: The Chiefs took full advantage of that last night. They
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: saw that they have a new weapon, and they're trying
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to use it to the best of their abilities, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: he's already looking like one of the best offseason acquisitions
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: for any team.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you can't play the position better than
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: what he played it last night. So, look, I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: we did use him in that way, just not enough.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mike McDonald even mentioned it in the Manning
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: cast that— He can catch the ball out of the backfield.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: This is a really interesting conversation, which is why we're
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: going to have it numerous times tonight. Ken Walker wanted
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to be used here the way the Chiefs used him
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: last night. Exactly. That's how he wanted to be used.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: That's how he wanted to be most effective. Now, here's
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the problem. Ken Walker couldn't stay healthy. Even under the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: limited amount of work that he got here by his standards—
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: He wasn't the healthiest running back in the world. No,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: absolutely not. He also was not the most, you know, committed,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: intentional running back that we'd ever seen. And look, starts
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: right here. I mean, I loved him when we drafted
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: him and I thought he was going to be special.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, His first season in the league, I told buddies,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: get Ken Walker in your fantasy league. In the second
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: year he was here, I said he was going to
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: get rushed for 1,700 yards. I took him in the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: second round of our fantasy draft. And he disappointed. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it's not like he was a bad player here. He
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: was a good player here. But he had a few
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: injuries here and there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: And.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Frankly, I don't know if they ever got to the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: point where they trusted him in all situations. His most
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: yards he had rushing was 1,050 in his rookie season.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: He never topped that again. And last season, people forget
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that Zach Charbonnet was being used in critical situations, not
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Ken Walker. So there was some level of frustration that
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: had mounted with Mike McDonald. He's not getting the running
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: back that he wants. He wants somebody that just hits
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the hole. And Ken Walker was always trying to find
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: where the green grass was greener. That's the way that
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Ken Walker ran when he was here. And then he
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: got to the playoffs and suddenly he put it all together,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: including that patient running style that I mentioned earlier that
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was a page out of Le'Veon Bell's book. So they
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: were sort of caught in between. Like, if we get
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: the Ken Walker playoff version, he might be worth the
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: salary that he's going to demand on the free agent market.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: But we had four years with him. where was that guy?
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We all saw his talent. We're the ones that drafted him.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You talk show hosts can go on and on and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: on all you want about how talented you think he is.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: You think, do you think for a second that you
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: think he's more talented than we think he is? I mean,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: there's a reason we drafted him. We thought this guy
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: could be special, took him in the second round and
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: he was good to very good, great at times, but
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: never was special. Right. So they have to make these uncomfortable,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: difficult decisions because they had to pay a wide receiver
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: $ 40 million a year, a cornerback $ 31 plus million a year.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: They got a defensive tackle. They're probably going to have
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to pay $ 35 to $ 40 million a year, too. They
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: got a quarterback that's going to have to pay about
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: $ 55 million to if he can fix his butt. I mean,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: there are decisions, and this isn't just in the moment.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Is Ken Walker worth what he's asking on the free
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: agent market? It is how does Ken Walker fit into
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: our plans? And if we're going to go top of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the market on our receiver and our corner and our
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle and our quarterback and all these different positions,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: can we do it with a running back who, let's
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: face it, disappointed us the last four years more often
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: than rewarded us for our confidence in him? So it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: a tough decision. I think everybody would have wanted Ken
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Walker back. It's just when you take all the other
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: variables into consideration and It was one of those tough
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: decisions the organization had to make in the offseason, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: their decision was to let him go. But make no mistake,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: if that's what Ken Walker's capable of, and we all
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: thought he was capable of doing just that last night,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and we never saw him play a game like that.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Not even in the playoffs did he play a game
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Where I can be used any way you want. You
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: can hand it to me every single down. Throw me
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the ball out of the backfield. I can do that too.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I'll break tackles. I'll run away from secondary members. That
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: was special. And if that's what we're going to see
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: all year long, believe me, we're going to be talking
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a lot about, I can't believe we let that guy
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: get away.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there is something to be said. We talked
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: about this in the offseason about... there is the thought
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: process of, okay, he's finally put it together when he
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: had that playoff run and then the Super Bowl. And
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: it was like, maybe now is the time to pay him.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: He looks like he's about to come together as a player.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: He's only 25 years old. It's not like the age
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: thing is a huge thing. But there is something to
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: be said about the Seahawks' use of him or lack
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: thereof in terms of him as a bell cow number
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: one running back. Maybe that is why he finally ended
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: up being healthy in the second half to the later
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: portion of the season.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: That's a great point.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: It's because they didn't use him, like, every single down
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: like the Chiefs were last night.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: They made him millions. They made him more attractive. Exactly. Now,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: there's a catch-22 to that as well. Exactly. Because you're
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: absolutely right. I mean, that has to be taken into consideration.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: We've yet to see. He had a phenomenal game last night.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Can you do that for 17 games? Or will you
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: start to break down in games three and four? Did
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks know that? Is that why they limited his amount?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: They never did let him cut loose. Did their protection
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: of him lead to his special postseason run? And then
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: lead to him making extra millions on the free agent
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: market because the Kansas City Chiefs got to see, oh
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: my gosh, look at that guy. Look what he's doing
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: on a playoff run. And then there is the... Yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: so there's that side of it. And then there's the...
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, there's one other side to this. Ah, just
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: slipped my mind.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'll kind of respond to that first because
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I think originally I was thinking, yeah, the Seahawks kind
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: of knew a lot of things that other people didn't,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: obviously being around him every single day. Maybe they kind
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: of could see that coming. But we're now, I know
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: it's just one game, but we're kind of seeing, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: he's a rookie, but I see a little similar situation
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: going with Jarrion Price, even when Zach Charbonnet isn't healthy.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Where they're not trusting him on third down. They're not
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: trusting him in the red zone. In one game.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, it's been one game. But it's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: a trend. We're going to be following that for the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: rest of this year.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Well, look, you won the Super Bowl doing it that way. Yeah,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: that's true. People consider and bemoan the fact that Ken
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Walker had a great game on Monday Night Football, but
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are 1-0 and have a Super Bowl championship
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: for the way that they, in part, handled their running
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: back situation a year ago. But then there's the other
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: side I just remembered, and that's Hugh Millen telling us
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs last year, Zach Charbonnet getting hurt might
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: have been the best thing to happen to this team.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: It's true. Because they're finally using Ken Walker the way
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: he wants to be used, the way that a lot
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of us thought he could be used, and look at
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the results that you're getting right now. Charbonnet's not getting
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: in the way. of ken walker being special and zach
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: charbonnet is a good player good player but he has
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: limitations he has no ability to be special we all
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: saw that ken walker has the ability to be special
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it didn't really show up until the playoffs this past
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: year he played that into a monster contract with the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: kansas city chiefs they thought he was special and last
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: night they unleashed him They're paying him. Why not? They're
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: not going to pace him. But we shall see. We
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: shall see whether or not he's durable enough. I know
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he's capable of playing that way. And something's clicked into
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: his head where he's like, oh, if I'm just a
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: little more patient or if I trust the hole a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: little bit more, I mean, he might be the rushing title.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got that ability. There's no question about it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: No running back played better than what he did in
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: the opening week into the season. And that includes Jameer Gibbs.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Bajon Robinson and Derrick Henry, who had three touchdowns. That
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: last night was a show. He put on a show.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And if we've got to watch that 10, 12 times
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: this season, it's going to be hard. We're going to
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: sit there the entire year going, oh man, why didn't
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: we just let Derrick Hall walk and keep Ken Walker? Yeah,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and it seems like a perfect situation. Not that he
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: could have walked. No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe we'll pick that apart. Yeah, it's out of context.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: I also think it's just a perfect situation for him.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Mahomes is coming off the injury. They're going to lean
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: on him a lot. It's obviously an offense that has
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: the track record of getting... whatever weapons they have, as
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: involved as possible in creative ways. And that helps when
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: you have one of the best quarterbacks ever, even if
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: he is coming off a big injury. So I think
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: it's just a perfect situation for him, too. And like
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: we've all mentioned, it's going to be something we're following
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: for the rest of this year. We're going to be
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: comparing him to Jadarian Price and whatever the Seahawks do.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Jadarian. It's just the way it goes. Yeah, there's
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: no avoiding it at this point. All right, let's find
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: out what's on tap for the rest of the show.

• 20:04
  Speaker 2: My paper, I was like, 2C? What did I write
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: 2C down for? Matty Beneers? 2C? No, it's ZC. I
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: was reminding myself the Zach Charbonnet point I wanted to make.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: And I didn't want to forget it again. There you go.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Chiefs won over the Broncos 31-10 last night. That means
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: another loss for somebody on Factor Fiction. Another lopsided one.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: But we'll play again today at 7.35. It'll be Anders'
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: first official pick as an official member of the morning show.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: So that's coming your way today at 7.35. Make sure
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: you're listening. According to our story yesterday, True Breeze actually
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: mulled a comeback after... Bo Nix went down in the
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: playoffs last year. So, in other words, not trusting Jared Stidham,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: even though he said he trusted Jared Stidham, Sean Payton
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: reached out to Drew Brees and wondered, do you think
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: you could play right now? So he... thought about, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: almost suited up for the AFC Championship game. Could you imagine? Yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I just... I'd keep him on speed dial after watching
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix play last night. I was going to say, yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: they could still think that. There were two quarterbacks coming
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: back from injury, and one did. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of injury,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold has a unique injury to his butt. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: we're going to have to discuss that later on in
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the show. Greg Bell is still out. So I can't
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: even talk to Greg about this. He's down in Hawaii,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: not thinking about Sam's butt. Probably still is. He might be.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: And then, so we're going to replace him with Mike Sando.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Mike Sando is like, hey, I can't do Thursday at
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: 930 this week. Well, good. We got to hold 705. Excellent.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: We're going to have Mike Sando on to talk about
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: today at 705 here. So a lot of butt talk
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: on the program today. We'll also talk about Mike McDonald's
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: appearance on the Manning cast last night. I don't know
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: how good a show that is. I really don't. There's sometimes—
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: It's fun, it's goofy, but it's mostly awkward.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes I like it, and it has to be
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: a really good guest, and they have to have the
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: good chemistry. But then there's sometimes where I'm like, man,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: the Kate Hudson part was really awkward.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: If it's—yeah, like— If it's like a blowout, then it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: a pretty good show to watch. But if you're actually
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: trying to watch the game, I don't know. But anyway,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: we will talk about Mike McDonald's appearance on that later
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: on in the show. Gene Steratore is joining us for
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: the first time this season at 8 o'clock today. College
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: football Huskies against Eastern Washington. You better get your offense
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: together against Eastern Washington. Rick Neuheisel joins us for his
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: normal Tuesday segment at 9 o'clock. Kraken camp is underway.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: The preseason opener is how far away? When's the preseason opener? Saturday. Oh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: my gosh. And the Mariners lost to the Angels last
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: night 6-4, 5.5 with 11 to play. Plenty to talk
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: about there as well. We'll do it next Mariners morning
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: after on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Uh, it's a Chuck
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Anders and Travis with you here. Time for Mariners. So
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: morning after we've got a highlight, we don't have a soundbite.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Apparently no one was working last night. Um, Dan Wilson
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: didn't speak. The Mariners post game show wasn't replayed later. Uh,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. I don't know what happened. I
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: don't think DK Daniel Kramer went on the trip. So, yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: it's closing time. It's definitely closing time. That's what it
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: feels like at least. Mariners taking on the Angels last
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: night obviously blew an opportunity in Sacramento to possibly get
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: back into this series. It could have been going into
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: that game with the Astros idle four games back. We
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: could have been talking about a three and a half
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: game deficit here this morning. And a stretch run to
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: try to figure this thing out, but the loss on
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Sunday may have been just too crippling for this team
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: to attempt any sort of miraculous comeback. And the Angels
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: reminded them of that last night. Kate Anderson started against
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Reed Detmers, and Detmers has been very good for the
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Angels this year. And he's wait for it. Left-handed, yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: One of the pieces that the Angels wanted to make
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: sure that they held on to, and he's rewarded them.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: He's been very good here down the stretch and been
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: very good throughout the season. So they had their work
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: cut out for them, believe it or not, last night.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Kate Anderson wasn't as sharp as normal, gave up two
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: runs in the first, gave up two more in the third.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: So you're facing a 4-0 deficit. What you need to
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: get back into the game is a three-run homer, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: my goodness, if Cal Raleigh didn't deliver. Good strike zone
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: over that. Deep fly ball. Right field. Carrying back. And
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: an elbow bomb for Cal Raleigh. That is a massive
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: three-run tank. And the Mariners are right back in this ballgame.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Raleigh with the home run. Aaron Goldsmith on the call.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Angie angering him by talking over the pitch. And... and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Cal made it a 4-3 game at that point. But
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: in the bottom of the fifth, Anders, Kate Anderson, who
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I said wasn't sharp, they take him out in the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: fifth inning. In the middle of the fifth inning, he
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: puts some traffic on the base paths, and Cooper Criswell
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: is not exactly a good option at this point, not
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: even a decent option, and he couldn't get the job done.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Angels get two runs back in the bottom of the fifth,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: take a 6-3 lead. JP added a homer later, but
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: 6-4 your final. The Angels do win it over the Mariners.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's hard to really, like... look at
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: things in this way, considering that we're used to kind
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: of being in races at this point in the year.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: But I'm starting to kind of look for 2027 in
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: terms of like things to see, like whether that's Kate Anderson,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: what he can add to his arsenal in terms of
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: stuff or maybe an extra pitch here and there. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: really want to see him nailed that command down because
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: that's going to be what kind of determines whether he's
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: going to be a good pitcher at this level or not.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: You know, Laz Montez coming in and working a walk
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: in a relatively high leverage situation last night. Arroyo looking decent.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: But the big thing for me is Cal Raleigh. I
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: think I can safely say now that whatever happened in
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the first.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Four months of the season....
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Was just a terrible slump and not a, like, oh,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: this guy's falling off a cliff as a player. Because
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: we're starting to see what Cal Raleigh used to be
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: in these last maybe month or so.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. And, yeah, for a little while you were
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: not only distraught by the bad season that he was having,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: you were wondering, is this something that lingers? Is this
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the new Cal Raleigh? And if he's slumping for a month,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: month and a half, you don't think about that. But
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: four months?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Four months.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: It does creep into your thoughts, but I think that
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: he has redeemed his value. And I think that we're
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: going to get a good, we're never going to get
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: last year's Cal Raleigh. We're never going to get that
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: version again, but that's not even what we were asking for.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was the entire conversation at the beginning
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: of the year. As long as we get normal Cal,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: 30 Homer, 35 Homer Cal, who's, elite catcher. Well, we
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: didn't even get the elite catching this season. And I
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: think a lot of it had to do with that injury.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I think that injury was a lot worse than what
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: he led on, and he just refused to be out
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: of the lineup, and maybe to the detriment of the team.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: But last night, Angels win it by a final score
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of 6-4, even though in the ninth inning. And this,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I know it's going to come off as nitpicking. I
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: know that I've ridden J.P. Crawford pretty hard this year,
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: but This is just not winning baseball. You're in the ninth.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely in desperation mode. You need two runs. And
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Ben Joyce is on the mound. And he already has
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: a scouting report of he throws 105. And I'm not
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: even exaggerating that. No, that's literally how he throws. He
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: throws 105. But some days, he doesn't know where it's going.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And that was one of those days last night. And so...
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Here he is starting the game, and Josh Naylor swings
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: at the very first pitch because he's given up. Straight up.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: That's why I used the broad joke on him. He's
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: given up. I mean, I don't think... We talked about
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: it a little bit yesterday. I don't think many players
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: on this team have given up. He has. He's the guy.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: He quit on the team. And so, very first pitch
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: against an erratic closer, he swings at the first pitch,
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: and he grounds it right back to the pitcher. Then...
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Montez comes up and Montez gets in the hole. Oh,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: two fouls off a pitch. And all of a sudden
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Ben Joyce returns, throws four pitches. None of them anywhere
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: close to the zone. Montez gets a walk tying runs
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: coming to the plate, right? Yep. Cole young comes up
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: next pitch ball takes a strike. So at least he
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: took a strike and then a ball like So, here's
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Ben Joyce. Can't find the plate.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Cole swings at the next pitch, and I mean, it's 2-1.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I can't hate him for it. No. So, 2-1, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: now you got another out. Now, are you going to
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: give up at that point? Two outs, runner at first,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: tying run at the plate? You pinch it. Taylor Ward.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Feels like a give-up move.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: The way he's played. But, at least he can walk.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Taylor Ward didn't take the bat off his shoulder.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: He knows. Ben Joyce Yes he does So here's Here's
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Taylor Ward Giving J.P. Crawford Here's the blueprint man Don't swing.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: This guy cannot throw back-to-back strikes, which means if you
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: get ahead in the count, math works out that he's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: going to walk you. Ward didn't take the bat off
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: of his shoulder. Got it to 3-2. Still didn't take
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: the bat off his shoulder and earned a walk. He
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: gave him the blueprint for how we get to Ben Joyce.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Everybody could see Angie and Aaron are commenting on this
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: guy can't find the strike zone. JP Crawford comes to
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: the plate and this is my big criticism of him.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: He's always trying to be the hero of all and
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: never trying to be the guy that just does what
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: it takes to get it to the next dude. He
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: gets ahead in the count one Oh, Joyce can't find
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: the plate swings at the very first. Now he hit
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: it hard. And if it wasn't for a shift, he's
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: got to double down the right field line. But there
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: is no way he should have swung at a pitch.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Up 1-0.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: With Ben Joyce not being able to find the plate.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: That's loser baseball. And I think, I'm sorry to say it, J.P.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: 's played loser baseball all season long this year, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: he's not the only one. For a couple years.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: We saw the, what was it, 2024 J.P. Crawford, where
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: it was like, man, this guy knows his role. He's
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: getting on base, hitting the ball the other way. You know,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: was starting to tail off defensively a couple years ago, but...
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: just like that's a perfect role that you need on
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: this team. And it's a kind of a showcase, a
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: microcosm of what the rest of this team is. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: he's one of your leaders. So I think that, I mean,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's coming straight from him, but everyone's
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: looking up to that, right?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: That's just kind of how they all do it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Whether it's giving up, like you were talking about with
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Josh Naylor, whether it's just the selfish at-bats, like from J.P. Crawford,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: terrible challenges in awful situations. Their ABS use is... And
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Josh is the worst in the league.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: He's the worst. Literally the worst in the league.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: There's just so many... I mean, baseball's a game of
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: little things, right? And they don't do really any of
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: the little things well.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it used to be, and this got hammered
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: into our heads, my age... And everybody my age is
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: going to, this is going to ring true to them.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: You were told when you were down, you took a
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: pitch until you got a strike. Even the major leagues
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: did that. When you were down late in a game,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: you took a pitch until you got a strike. They
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: don't do that anymore. Analytics has said we don't do
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: that anymore. And that is fine. But a circumstance like
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: last night. With that pitcher. With that pitcher and Randy
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: on deck. who has risen to the occasion every single
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: time you've needed him to. And JP wanted to be
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: the hero. He wanted to swing out of his ass
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and hit a three-run homer to give the team the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: lead rather than do the intelligent thing. I've got an
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: erratic young pitcher who can't find the strike zone, has
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: not thrown back-to-back strikes in 15 pitches. But I'm going
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to swing at the first strike that I see And
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: end the game. It's frustrating. It's extremely frustrating. Loser ball.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: It's just loser ball. And again, where's the manager to like,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: hey guys, I know we don't normally do this anymore,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: but look at this guy. Like he's coming to the plate.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Look at this. I'd take until I got a strike. Yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Where's that? Where's that in the repertoire of the manager? Nowhere. Nowhere.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: He doesn't do that. All right. Well, they're going to
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: play again tonight. I'm at the stage. I'm not even
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: sure I'm going to watch this finish out. It's tough
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to watch, I'll tell you that. Logan Gilbert gets the start.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Ryan Johnson, puss baller. He's going to throw first pitch
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: at 640 here tonight. He's been fairly effective this year
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: for the Angels, but he just does not strike people out.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: So Gilbert versus Johnson, pair of right-handers tonight. We'll talk
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: a little more baseball later in the show, but not
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: a lot. Coming up next, we've got to talk about
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold's butt. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Hey, Tulalip Resort

• 34:58
  Speaker 2: to talk about Sam Darnold because maybe people just aren't
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: saying it. and I will, but the latest story yesterday
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: was Sam Darnold is dealing with a very unique soft
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: tissue injury to his glute, and his hip joint is unaffected.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: That's according to the report yesterday. Now, they still don't
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: know what the timeline is, so it's serious enough, and
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I guess unique enough, that the Seahawks really don't know
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: when he's going to be available to the team. But
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: the way that's worded, first of all, there's no such
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: thing as very unique. You're either unique or you're not. Oxymoron. No,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: not an oxymoron. It's a whatever. It's redundant. Yeah, redundant. Yeah.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: So it's either, you know, there's no such thing as
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: being very unique or that's kind of unique. It's either
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: unique or it's not. My mom told me I'm the
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: most unique. Most unique? The most. Okay. All right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: We'll go with that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah. Second thing is. Is anybody else talking about this,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: or am I going to be the first one to
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: say it? Did Sam Darnold hurt his butthole?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: I haven't heard that before, or at least in this conversation.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Is that just a safe way to say that he
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: landed awkwardly? We don't even know how it happened, but
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: you don't know how the human body works. And did
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: he bruise his brown eye? You know what I mean?
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: But it's a soft tissue injury. But isn't that soft, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: But the bruise would indicate to me. I know, but
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: now I'm just having fun with the language. Okay, okay. Right?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Who knows? Are they just covering up like they don't
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: want to say because that would be a source of
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: embarrassment for him? Did our quarterback, is he really going
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: to possibly go on the IR because he hurt his hole?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a Decent possibility. That would hurt. You know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: like if it gets stretched more than it should. Who
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: knows how much that hurts? Because it's like the rarest
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: thing to get injured. Is that why it's unique? I
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: would think. Well, just unique to football. Like, we can't
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: believe this, but this is the injury. Yeah. Why are
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: they wording it that way? A unique soft tissue injury
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: to his glute. Yeah. I mean, it could be. I mean,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: maybe it's I mean, I'm not an expert on anatomy.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe or certainly not a doctor. I'm just
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: like I'm just like a guy that likes to tell
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: off color jokes. So there could be a lot of
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: different ways that he could have injured his glute, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that the way that the body is constructed
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: and the way that he landed, that there's some sort
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: of pull. Who knows what he hurt in the process?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, left me wondering last night, if that's
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: what happened, somehow in that contortion and that impact, that
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Sam got injured in a way that even the training
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: staff's like, I didn't even know that you could pull
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: your hole. I didn't even know that could happen. I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: didn't know you could strain a hole.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, there has to be a reason why they're
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: being so secretive about this. And that would explain one
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: of the reasons why they could be. Maybe they don't
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: know about whatever the injury is because it's so.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Unique? Yeah. Very unique. The most unique. According to Travis,
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: at least. But it does kind of raise the... It's
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: the Travis Moger of butt injuries. Oh, yes. No, we're
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: not doing that. They're going to start naming this, he
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: injured his Travis Moger. I didn't want... We don't need
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: to do that. We don't need to do that. But
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: it crossed my mind last night. Responsibility. Why are we
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: wording things this way? We can do better than this. Like, medically,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: you could tell us. We can handle it. What did
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: he hurt? A very unique soft. And so it just
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: struck me, like, all right, they're not telling us because
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: it's a little embarrassing to him. Yeah. Like, they never
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: tell us when the player runs into the locker room.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: To go to the bathroom. To go to the bathroom. Yeah.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Never tell us he just came off the field and
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: had to run into the training room there are plenty
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: of times that it has nothing to do with their
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: ankle yeah okay and so i don't know maybe i
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: would think you could be a little more specific with
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: us it's not It's not like defenses are going to
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: target this very unique soft tissue injury located somewhere in
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: his butt. You never know. Not anybody's going to spear
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: him in the butt. Yeah, that's true. So I think
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: they're wording it because it's a little embarrassing.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: And that's, I think, what we're dealing with. And I'm
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: sorry to out you, Sam. But that's what I think
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: is going on here. So many innuendos. Who would have
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: ever guessed? Of all the things that could have derailed
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: the start of our season, an injury to our quarterbacks.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up next, Mike Sando will get his
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: thoughts on butt injuries, plus headlines on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
