• 1:43
  Speaker 2: on the television that's here in the studios, and either
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: he's wearing a long sleeve shirt underneath made to look
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like his arms are fully tatted, or Adam Schefter is
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: fully tatted. Oh, I'm not really sure. It's very distracting.
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: I think we're gonna see ch was on distracted. No, no,
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: this would be more distracting.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Charm.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: What a great reminder that is. Yeah, lucky, we need
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to find that. We'll get to that.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Adam Schefter have tattoos.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, that charmed. Uh. I really don't know
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: what it's about, but what an awesome show. It's amazing. Yeah,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite shows. Is that what it's about?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: That's all I know. Okay, there's always some weird stuff
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: going on. I'll say yeah when we don't when we
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: watch it without the sound on, right, Yeah, sure.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: The dialog wonderful I don't know, but yeah, it's a
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: great show.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, there is. Did you see it? Oh? You
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: missed it? So I don't know. That's like the last
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: human being on Earth I would have thought would have
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: been tatted up. I mean, full sleeve colored tattoos from
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: all the way down to the hands.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: What would be more shocking though, that he was fully
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: tatted up, or that he was the type of guy
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: to where fake sleeves to make it look like he
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: was tatted up.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Well, if it's like some sort of.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Like designer shirt, no no, no, no.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: If it's like some sort of gag, we can't hear
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the audio, it's sort of like Charms.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: It's very much like Charms.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: We can't hear the audio. So maybe there's like some
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: inside joke there. Maybe he's doing it to be funny,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: maybe to catch coworkers off guard. I don't know. There
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: could be a background story to it. But yes, if
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he just like showed up with a tattoo shirt on, yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that would be weirder.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: But someone tweeted it out too with a picture of her.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know. And we never even see
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: him in a short sleeve shirt, so he's usually you know,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: at a tie or something like that, or at home
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in front of his bookshelf doing reports where he looks
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: completely tired, like he hasn't slept in three days because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: he just has to tell you the latest Arizona Cardinal
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: injury report on Walter Nolan. Yeah, but you gotta be
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: my eye. Yeah, that's a shirt. That's a shirt.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: But also why the other two guys are wearing suits
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: and he's wearing that shirt and a T shirt over it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Like that's like there's got to be some sort of
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: insight story.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: It's weird happening. He lost a bet.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe that's what it is. But that really caught
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: me off guard too.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I can't understand.
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: I saw this picture here and it is If I'd
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: seen that on TV in a fleeting moment, I would
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: have gone, what in the heck?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't be the guy that I would have thought did that?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it is a shirt now that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're not giving a great glimpse of it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm sorry to distract you. I'm sure that
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you listening are like, it's a visual radio. Boy, we
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: can't see it. We don't know what you're talking about.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: But I'm glad we covered it or got rid of
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: it there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: But it did catch me off guard, and so I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: thought that that I would cover it for you, Bucky.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Did you get the family back everybody home safe?
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Family made it back safe. Yes, it was what you
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: do to celebrate.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Did you join hands around the Christmas tree and sing carols?
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: No?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: First of all, we're normal.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: We don't put our Christmas tree up disappointed their major halliday.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: You love your children, yeah, yep, yeah, yeah, so that
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: they can actually help participate in it when the time
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: is right. I do love them, I loved I love
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: them so much. I'm a teaching proper timing. I think
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that's important. Uh, you know, not overlooking one great holiday
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: in search of another.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, So I love it was.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: It was wonderful to be able to hug him and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: and see him and hear the stories Bear doing boogie
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: boarding and Gracie making sand castles, and he come.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Home with all necklace.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: No, but a really cool Hawaii shirt and a hat
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: big wave on themse. No, he didn't do that, he said,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: he's still in photos.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Was given the peace side. No, he didn't know, he
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: didn't go that far. He did get a little color
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: addicted to poke.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: No, No, I don't think he went I don't think
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: he really dove into the.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Culture say that much.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Did he just spam?
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I don't even think he probably went there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess he was really excited about the smash
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: burgers I made for him yesterday.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He was that was He was like, that's nice, this
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: feels like good. They didn't run into like a tiki
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: doll that was cursed like that, like a Rady bunch
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: dead years ago.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: No, Luckily, No, that well, at least I don't know yet.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't inquire about any tea.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: They probably wouldn't tell me Idols if he fell victim
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: do anything. I thought you loved your children, I do.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't ask him I came across a cursed tiky doll.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I didn't. I was busy asking about their submarine trip.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: They went on a submarine like one hundred feet and
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: saw some ship wreckage.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: I also don't think they tell him about the tek
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: doll because he might not allow him back home if
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: he were cursed that tarantula.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It almost got to.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Greg Taranela is in Hawaii. What kind of craziness was
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: on the breaking.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that the Globe trot Or or were
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: they on there too, or was that Gildigan's Island. Anyway,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Welcome into the radio show. Glad to have
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the whole Jacobson clan back together, Ashley and I slept
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: better last night knowing the family was back together. You
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: did yea singing around the Christmas tree? All right?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Well, Seahawks Rams on Sunday. I mean, I mean, in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: terms of a mid season, regular season affair, it just
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: can't get much bigger than this matchup. I even went
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in to see my sushi guy prematurely this week. Usually
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: go on a Thursday or Friday. Saw him on a Wednesday,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and he couldn't stop talking about Seahawks Rams to me,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: so Perry switched on. I'll tell you that much right now.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: But Perry, Yeah, phenomenal matchup for this week. We outlined
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: it a little bit. I think it's worth sort of repeating.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, not only seven and two teams atop the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: NFC West right now, they are arguably, maybe inarguably the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: two hottest teams in the National Football League. They're not
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: only beating their opponents, they are dominating their opponents here
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks. Top five offenses, both teams,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: top five defenses, both teams, red hot general managers, both teams,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: red hot head coaches, both teams, both under the age
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of forty two quarterbacks that are in the MVP conversation.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: As good an array of pass catchers as you're going
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to see on one field with JSN, DeVante Adams and
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Puka Nakua if Adams plays, I mean, there's just nothing
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: that this game doesn't have. And so we get ready
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to embark upon it. And in a lot of ways
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: today we're going to be discussing this football game. But
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you just can't overstate just how excellent this matchup is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and what a treat we're getting this early in the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: football season.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I know, Cooper Cup's not the Cooper
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Cup that he was with the Rams, but I think
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: this is this first game that he's going back to
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: play in that place too, Right, there's a lot of
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: storylines behind it. And typically if you just get to
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: a division rival for the first time and you're both
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: doing well, that in and of itself, you're like, well,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: this is going to be a good matchup. But all
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: the other stuff that you just outlined, how prolific their
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: offenses are, how dominant their defenses are, how much their
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: role in the NFL, which is typically just not set
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: up for that. I mean, you typically have battles regardless
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: of who you're going up against. It it might be
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: one where it's like you should win this game. But
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I mean I feel like there's been more times you,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: or well certainly Greg, more than we've ever heard him,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: has said boy, I think they could run away with
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: this one a couple of different times. Usually we're like,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: could be a could I could see them running away
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: with it, but I could also see this being a
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: tight game. We've had times where we're leading into games
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: thinking there we're talking about past game, Okay, yeah, this game, no, no, no,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: this season, there's just been times where we're talking about
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks and it's like they kind of feels like
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: they're going to roll these guys. Whereas I mean, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: think I count on one hand how many times I've
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: heard that or thought that in the eight nine years
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: that we've been doing this job. It just feels like
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: they're are They almost always played close games, even if
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: they were playing against somebody that they maybe should roll
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: and yet this one is not going to be that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: And yet that's because they're going against another team that
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: has the same type of narrative around them that they're
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: rolling over the teams they should roll over.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: There.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: They're winning on both sides of the ball, they're well coached,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: they're young, The cultures are established. Obviously, I think the
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: RAMS culture is more established, but that's just simply because
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: McVeigh has been there for nine ten years or whatever
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: it's been. And yet McDonald does feel like he's taken
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: a shortcut to the culture building aspect of things, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: he's got this team kind of all pointed in the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: right direction and rowing in the same direction.
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: I will tell you though, having it be in La,
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: seeing the way that this team has played on the
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: road to this season, is even more exciting to me.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: Like if it was at home, we haven't played as
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: well at home, and I'd be not that I'm not
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: nervous either way, because it's going to be a great game.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: But if you can continue to play the way you've
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: played on the road in this game and take that
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: win in their house, I mean that's a big, big
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: damn deal.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: What's really strange is I think that most football fans
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: sort of gravitate toward offense, and I think that that's
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a fantasy football thing that has sort of shifted that narrative.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: People see Sam Darnold and Matt Stafford having the years
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: that they're having, and I think most my impression is
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they're expecting some sort of like shootout in this game.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: And I think what's gotten severely overlooked, at least where
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I've been looking, is how great both of these teams
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: are defensively. And yes, Sean McVay is an offensive minded
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: head coach, but he clearly wants a great defense too,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and they have achieved that in Los Angeles and throughout.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Despite all of our all defensive surprise excellence thirty points
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: six points per game so far this season, we are
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: still based on a defensive foundation here in Seattle. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: think this might be a bit of a lower scoring game.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I think that everybody that's looking at all the weapons
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and what have you, I mean, it's I think maybe
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: we could be in store for, you know, something in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the low twenties here in this contest. And it just
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: can't be overlooked how well both of these teams are
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: playing defensively. I mean, even giving up twenty two points
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: last week against the Arizona Cardinals, that doesn't really tell
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the story about how the defense took over that game. Remember,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: we scored two defensive touchdowns in that contest. So I
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: think it's going to be a little lower scoring. To
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: your point, bucket, I think it's going to be a
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: tight game on Sunday. I'd be surprised. I'd like to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: hear the reasoning for anybody that thinks it's going to
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: be a blowout one way or the other. And and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I think that getting Ernest Jones back for this game
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: could be essential. I know Tyree Knight's coming off a
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: huge game in terms of the havoc he created, but
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: make no mistake about it, Ernest Jones is the stabilizing
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: force on this defense at that position, and so having
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: him back to participate in what I think is going
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to be a lower scoring game than what is being
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: predicted is going to be just huge for the Seahawks. Yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'm the idea.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, we know in the NFL that typically if
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: you're the starter, they get you back out there as
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: soon as you can possibly go. I would wonder if
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: there would because of the way in which his backup
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: played and created opportunities that kind of blew that game
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: open really really quick. If it wouldn't be all right,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: if you're ready to rock and roll, cool, but maybe
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: you do kind of ease back into it. Typically inside linebackers. No,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to stop you right there, No way. I mean,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Tyrese Knight made two big plays. But as Hugh broke
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: down for us on Monday, a lot of that with
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: scheme and being in the right place at the right time.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Ernest Jones is flat out just the better interior linebacker,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: and you need him and if he's close, if he's
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: game ready, you're not gonna play the game that you
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: played with Witherspoon earlier in the year, where you're like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: we got a bye week next week, we got a
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: kind of a soft opponent going into this. Maybe we
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: don't have to rush him. Nope, Ernest Jones, if he
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: can play at all, you're playing them.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I agree, I think that you should.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's one of those how if he was
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: not quite one hundred percent but he was ready to
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: he says he can go, Okay, Well, then is there
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: a time when maybe it's maybe it's you are wanting
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: to send a blitz and he did do well when
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: you send him on a blitz last week, and so
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: maybe you're like, hey, we can we can.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Swop him in and out. He still plays a lot.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, he just isn't gonna be the mic. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: he still plays a lot. I mean tyr Snak can
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: still have a role and can you can haul up
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: that blitz for Tyres Knight. It's just that there's no
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: way if Ernest Jones says I'm ready to go that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: he's not your guy, right, well, I don't think. I
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: don't think you would do that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying I think that there there is a
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: discussion about if let's just say he's coming back and
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: he's ninety percent, then you could say, okay, well we
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: can at times we can roll him in there to
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: just give Ernest Jones a little bit of a breather
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: at certain times. I'm not saying that they're going to
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: be like, boy, we really got to be careful or
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: we could possibly overlook this game and we've got to
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: make sure that you're healthy for the long haul.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I think that it's going to be.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: More of the status quo, which is all right, you
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: say you're ready to go, the trading staff says.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: You're ready to go. Then you're in there and you're
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: doing things exactly the way you were.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: It's just nice to have the fact that you don't
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: feel like you're taking some drastic step back, even though
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: it's obvious that there's one of them is the guy
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: that you want starting and has started every game since
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: he's been here, and that's he's going to get all
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: the snaps that he can. It's just if he's not
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent healthy, then maybe they're there's more rest
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: in store form.
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: Well, and he's going against his former team too, which
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: tends to light someone's hair on fire.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think it will Cooper Cup, I
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: don't think, but I think it will Ernest Jones, And
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I don't think he was mistreated.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: It's just you get a little extra pumped up.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I guess he did end
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: up having to go to Tennessee.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: He could be mad about that.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he's got revenge on his mind. Maybe he's
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: cursed a tiki torch, for all I know, a tiki.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Doll most likely.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we shall see. But man, I mean, there's
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: just so many fascinating elements of this game to break
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: down before the end of the week. And let's tell
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you what's on tap for today's show. What's on tip?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: What's on tap? All right, So they're showing Adam Schefter now,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: so yeah, there's some sort of inside jokey thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: he was throwing everybody off. Everybody was like emailing end
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: of the show. When did Adam Schefter have tats? And
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: he is clearly wearing a shirt underneath? Yeah, and so
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: why he's doing it I still don't know. But yes,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: they're now finally addressing the elephant in the room.
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: It would be nice, though, if they'd make it more
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: obvious for those who are not listening to the sound,
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: if they could just hold up a sign that said
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: I wanted to mess with people.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I think all of his sleep deprivation and all of
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the you know, cell waves that have gone through his
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: head by having a cell phone next to his ear
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: might be finally getting to him. Possible. I think Schefter
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: might be losing his mind. Yeah, it's possible. I think
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's finally caught up sleep is important. You know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: he was our NFL insider back when I worked at
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Sports Fan in Vegas. He you know, before anybody knew him,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: he was our He worked out of Denver, and he
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: was our NFL insider at the network, and they were all.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: We had a lot of them. Jason Stark was our
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: MLB guy Hall of Famer by the way, Jason Stark, E. J.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Raddick was our hockey guy. You know, we had a
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: lot of them. I mean I got to get my boss,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Charlie bark or credit. We kind of we were doing
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: this insider stuff really before they gave themselves to it
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: at ESPN. And all of them acknowledge that Jay Glazer
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: was on our network. They all acknowledge that what a
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: great experience that was, and it really was a nice
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: stepping stone to our careers. And they have great appreciation
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: for it, except Adam Schefter, who acts like he never
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: did it. Oh really, that's weird. So there you go,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: just a little insight into less Seahawks rams. Sunday at
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: one today, the twelfth Man round Table. This is the
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: most important round table in years eight to nine. Humellon
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and Greg Bell will gather together to talk about the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Seahawks rams Thursday Night football gets the brand new week
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: of the football season underway. The Jets will be at
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: New England. The Patriots are heavy favorites in this game.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I think like twelve than a half points. Yeah, it's
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: not one of your better Thursday night football games of
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the year. But I'm gonna tell you this right now.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: The whiskey don't mind. The whiskey don't mind how good
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the football game is. So I'm gonna billy you up.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, whiskey better be on hand on Monday Night football too,
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: when the Cowboys play the race.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Whiskey doesn't care what's on television, really doesn't true. Mike
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Sander will join us today at nine thirty. Cowboys. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: don't know if anybody saw this, but the Cowboys finally
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: had a chance as a team to mourn their teammate
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Marshawn Neeland apparently yesterday. If we've got time, hopefully we
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: can play this audio. But Brian Schottenheimer unscripted. I've heard
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: really good things about Brian Schottenheimer the person over time,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and even though he was here, never got to know
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: him personally, that's for sure. But unscripted, no tell aprompter
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: delivered about as good a speech that you would ever
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: want here, not even a speech. He was just being
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: interviewed at as press conference and it's like, man, you
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: could not have said that better, and and what the
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: words that came out of your mouth, and though how
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: genuine you came across. I now kind of get why
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I brought Brian Schottenneimer has such a good reputation. He
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: got done with that speech, and I'm like, okay, I
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: want to play for that guy. You know that's that's
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: how good that speech was. So maybe we'll have some
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: time to play so we.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Could play it before headlines too. Is it possibility?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, if we if we can, if we
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: can work something out, College football Huskies will be home
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to produce. Softy will join us at seven o five,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: but he wants to talk about Cal's MVP and he
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: wants to talk about college football playoff rankings because apparently
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: he was listening yesterday and felt like I did him wrong.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: So at seven oh five, Softy will take me to task,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: So you might want to tune in for that. College
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: basketball Dogs and Cougs are going to meet tomorrow night
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: at eight o'clock. If you want to just check out
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: some college hoops because it probably is a better game
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: than the Thursday night football game Number two Purdue versus
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: number eight Alabama. The Kraken will be taking on the Jets.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Kraken and the Jets, so they're going to play tonight
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: out of Climate Pledge Arena. And the Major League Baseball
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Awards continue this week. Paul Skeens and Trek Scuball were
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: named cy Young Award winners yesterday. Skeens was unanimous. Schooball
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: got twenty six out of the thirty first place votes.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Brian Woo did not get a first, second, or third
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: place vote, but he did finish fifth and the cy
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Young voting, and so he can tell his he can
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: tell his neighbors. I did finish. I am a top
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: five cy Young finalist. Not the worst, yeah exactly. So
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: you know what, congratulations because I think that's awesome for Brian,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: top five finisher. He's a good dude. For the SAI
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Young Award. But of course, the big award this week
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: is the American League MVP. People haven't been able to
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: stop talking about this all season long. Tonight we're gonna
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: find out, is it Aaron Judge Boo or is it
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the hero cal Rawley. We'll discuss it next here on
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: RFM forty times it chanting MVP.
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: Climb on, Huh Catcher pats ten sixty home runs your MVP, Chay.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if any player topic was more
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: discussed during the course of the Major League Baseball season
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and who should win MVP. It became pretty clear probably
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: around the All Star break that it was going to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: come down to Cal Raley of the Seattle Mariners and
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge of the mighty New York Yankees. And that
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: conversation was held throughout the second half of the season.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: And it's been talked about so much that it's almost
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: like two political parties at this point. You know, it's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the Catcher party and the whistle Teeth party, because you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: there's people have certainly chosen their guy. You're not really
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: hearing a lot of you know, you know, I'm still
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: on the fence because it's been discussed so much by
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: now you if you know, if you have the ability
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to draw an opinion at all, you should have probably
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: reached your opinion as to who you think is going
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to win the Most Valuable Player Award, But the announcement's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: going to be made tonight. Obviously we can't wait to
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: hear the result. We want to finally have an answer
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: to this question. I do know that it's going to
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: be tight. I do know i'd vote for Cal, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I do believe Aaron Judge is probably going to win it,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: just based off of the conversations I've heard on MLB
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Network across their panel a lot of different sports writers
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Bucky that are tied in to a lot of other
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: sports writers and feel like they've got their finger on
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the pulse more so than I do. But I think
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: there's certainly a chance that I can be pleasantly surprised.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Cal's definitely got a chance to be crowned MVP tonight.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: A good chance, Yeah, it does, and rightfully so.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I don't think it should be
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: really as big of a debate. It's a wonderful debate,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: and I mean, one thing I want to make perfectly
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: clear is when I'm saying I don't think it should
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: be close in my opinion, it's not close.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: That's not taken away from Judge at all. Judge is spectacular.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, Judge is unbelievable.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: But it's the idea of to me that there's just
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: a there's a bit of a short sightedness, or there's
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: a there's parts of the numbers that that people will
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: look into that just plain and simple can't tell the
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: truth and the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Uh,
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: you know, are you gonna go with judges steady, brilliance
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: and amazing, I mean absolutely out of this world MVB,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: MVP caliber without a doubt, offensive numbers. And then there's
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: some people or the cal Rawley's you know, his power surge,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: and it's like, but that doesn't that a statement like
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: that doesn't even come close to telling the whole truth.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: It just it just doesn't to me. Cal Rawley's home
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: runs are impressive, and yes, should be recognized for doing
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: what he did that no catcher's ever done and no
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: switch hitters ever done. That's saying something right, But at
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: the same time, it's that's just a piece of it.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: I mean just a piece, And I mean I ended
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: up spending time last night looking into a bunch of
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: different stuff that they're saying the voters are gonna go
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: into different saber metrics that you know dial in your
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: you know, most of these offensive sabermetrics are going to
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: be advantage Judge, and understandably so. I mean they hit
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: three thirty and you know, drove in a ton of runs.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: And still it's not like you hit twenty homers and
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: you're comparing them againstbody hit sixty. I mean, he still
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: hit a ton of home runs and drove in a
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: bunch of guys. I mean, he did unbelievably. It's he's
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: definitely the more feared hitter at the plate. It's just
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: a most valuable player to me. When they start looking
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: into things, you're fielding runs or whatever that what is
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: it called the fielding runs average or how many runs
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: you save a game compared to someone else, and it
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: has because Aaron Judge is pretty good in right field.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Typically he's good. It hasn't made this year because he
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: played d H a lot because of his injury, but
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the numbers still come out that he was a four
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: and that Calroy was a five.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: It's like, no, no, sorry, they're not even close to
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: one run difference over the course of a full season
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: of how much they helped their team when they're on
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: the defensive side of the ball, and so it just
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of it that I think just gets
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: to some degree overlooked how difficult that position is. All
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: of the things that you can't put a number on,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Well there, it's all a game and all that stuff.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: You can't put a number on that, And so to
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: me's it shouldn't even be close. Even though what Aaron
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Judge did that he needs to be in any conversation
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: about most valuable player period.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Well, without a shadow of a doubt, there are things
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: cal Rawley does that they can't put a number on, like,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: for example, how he affects every single pitch thrown by
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: the Mariners pitching staff. You know, he pretty much makes
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: every decision on which pitch everybody throws to throughout the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: course of the season. The leadership that he brings, and
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge brings just as much leadership, So we can
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: make that clear. But but they don't have a stat
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that can quantify how much value Cal's knowledge of other
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: hitters behind the plate brings to the table. So literally
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: they can't calculate Col's value defensively, to Aaron Judge, they
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: don't have a number as many stats as they've come
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: up with. They don't have a stat to figure out
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: just how much he's helping his pitchers get through hitters
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: on a daily basis. But I do think that it
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: is very close. I mean, Aaron Judge has two hundred
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: plus points in OPS over cal and that's after a
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: sixty home run season. For goodness sake, he has a
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: two point fifteen OPS plus. That's one of the greatest
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: numbers in the history of the sport offensively, even war,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: which is supposed to factor in everything. Aaron's is nine
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: point seven, Cowls is seven point four. I mean, that's
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: kasmic that gap. But as you said, there are some
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: things that those numbers just can't calculate. In regards to
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: cal Raley's value, I do definitively think cal Raley is
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: going to win the should win the MVP, but I
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: do think it's very close. I likened it to a
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: sprint yesterday. That's a mistake baseball season everybody tells you
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: as a marathon. I mean, you can definitively win a
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: marathon by fifteen yards and that's still a very close race. Yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: you know, after twenty six miles of competing. You know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: one one in Seattle, one in New York. That's still
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: a very close marathon if it comes down to fifteen
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: meters after you ran twenty six miles, And that's what
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I'd like in.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: It too, Ashley, Yeah, no, I would agree, And I
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: do think obviously, as Bucky said, you know, one doesn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: take away from the other, right, Saying that you think
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: Cal deserves it over Judge or should win it over
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Judge or vice versa, isn't taking away from the phenomenal
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: performance that both of these guys had this season.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: But I do think only one could win the trophy.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: Well, we think, right, that's true.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: Maybe it is especially right He's like, let's go co
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: that's my job, my thought. But I just think, yeah,
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: as you guys were saying, there's so many things that
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Cal does with every single aspect of the game versus
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: what Judge is doing not with every single aspect of
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: the game, and those are the things that push him
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: over the top and should push him over the top
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: in most people's opinion, because just because it's not something
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: you can look at in a stat call him on
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: you know, ESPN dot com, doesn't mean that those things
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: aren't equally.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: As large of a factor in every single game.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: And on top of it, the where and Terry's putting
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: on his body on every single game and he's.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: Still hitting, He's playing a more demanding position and was
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: still posting every single day in the lineup, whereas Aaron
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: Judge had an injury.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Not that to fault him for it, but you weren't
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: as really, you weren't as as available as the dude
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: that plays a position that takes foul balls and has
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: to block our fastball.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and it's not the most offensive player award. It
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: is the most valuable player award, and to a t
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: to his team was a I think, far more valuable player,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: far more.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's I'm glad we're gonna get to
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: talk about it more. And I'm sure we'll talk about
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: it tomorrow more tomorrow, you know, once we find out
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: the results of it. I know it's close, and I
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: understand why because of how outstanding Judges offensive season was.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: It just is when you take if it was like
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: you said, if you take it as the most outstanding.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Guy that walks into.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: A batter's box, then it's Aaron Judge, even though he
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: didn't hit as many home runs and didn't drive in
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: as many runs, even though he didn't do a couple
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: things as well as Cal didn't do put up the
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: same offensive season that he did. It just is not
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: even a contest when you come to comparing the other two,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: the other side of the equation and then the third side,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: if you want to call it that, which is the
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: stuff you're talking about that you can't put a number
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: on the amount of effort he puts into call in games,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: you know, helping his pitchers set up game plans before games,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: the beating that he takes, there's just not a when
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: you're talking about strictly value across the board, one is
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: more valuable than the other, and that's cal Rally.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll talk more about a little bit later
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: on in the show. Coming up next, a tale of
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: two wide receivers and why our guys smelling like a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Rose Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, maybe a
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: couple of other things. I'm sure he's got a though
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: or two on Cal Rawley, whether or not he's going
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: to win the MVP. Tonight. So Softy, your all purpose
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: sports talk show host, will be joining us today at
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: seven oh five. It's Thursdays with Softy and of course
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: we're all getting ready for the Sunday matchups Seahawks versus Rams.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup, it takes on a little different meaning for him.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: The only professional football team that he knew as a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: professional was the Los Angeles Rams. And yet the only
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: team that he rooted for as a kid was the
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. And he now wears the Seahawks uniform. And
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: so he goes back to Los Angeles for the very
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: first time and typical Cooper Cup, this is not at
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: all about me. I can promise you that in his
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: press conference, I can't make this about me returning home.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: We got a game to win. You gotta love Cooper Cup.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that ever since he came here,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: even before he came here, I mean, people maybe didn't
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: like him because he was unbelievable when he was wearing
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: a Rams uniform. Maybe Seahawk fans like, dang that guy.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Even though he's from Yakaman.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: They still, I think kind of liked him. I couldn't
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: help the root for you, Jakama kid that's turned in
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: some out to one of the best receivers ever.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and yet they didn't want him to go off
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: like he did plenty of times. I mean even last year,
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: there was the first game, the last game against the Rams.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: You know, they didn't necessarily play everybody, and so I
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: don't know how much stock you want to put into that,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: but the first game he ended up kind of going off.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: And so it's not that long ago that he was
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: doing good things for the Rams and then for whatever reason,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: they decided, hey, we kind of have to you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Pookinaku has moved into that spot and paying you what
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: we would have to pay you to be the number
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: two guy.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Well, they they simply pulled what they did with golf
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: AND's I mean, I think this is Sean McVay. They
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: had a guy that took him to the super Bowl
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: in Jared Goff, and then Sean McVay was like, yeah,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: but that Matt Stafford can win us one. So even
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: though we've got a good guy, we got a chance
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to get a great guy. And I think they did
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the same thing this offseason. Even though Cooper Cup we
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: still really like he is on the decline, and I
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: think that's very evident based on what he's done as
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: a Seahawk. DeVante Adams might not be so they felt
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: they had a chance put sentimentality aside and get a
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: better wide receiver. And it's kind of worked out that
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: way for them. But I'm glad we have Cooper.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I think that that was probably difficult for Cooper, right,
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, when you put as much into an organization
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: as he did, and obviously he seems I don't think
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: he just learned his professionalism when he showed up here
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: at Virginia Mason and Athletic Center.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I think that that's who he's been.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: And when you're kind of that guy, a company guy
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: that just towes the line and goes out and works
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: your butt off and puts up crazy numbers and helps
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: win a Super Bowl, and and then they kind of go,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: thanks dude, but maybe.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Think you're it's a business.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: You know, maybe at half a step, we think we
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: can gain it elsewhere and still keep that veteran thing
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: like you're talking about with DeVante Adams versus him.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That's probably not.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Easy to hear when your employer says, thanks, but we're done.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Well. It's worked out for both teams. I mean, obviously
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the Rams have have gotten even better with Adams over
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Cup and the Seahawks offense Cup feels like a really
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: nice addition to it. And don't sleep on what Hugh
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: and Greg have been telling us as well, and that
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: is what Cooper cups professionalism knowledge has done for JSN
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: to emerge and become an even better player. So yeah,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, Cooper Cups probably not performing statistically like we're
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: paying him, but I think everybody in the organization is
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: glad we rolled the dice on Cooper Cup versus bringing
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: DK back.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, one percent, the idea of I mean a guy
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: that was at one point the best wide receiver on
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: the planet who now has been relegated to you know,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: getting a few targets a game and you know, hey,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: we're going to throw it to you from time to time.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: But we got this youngster that's just basically breaking out
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: and letting the league know that I'm I'm for real.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: And so to take to go from being the best
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: uh to then you're not even the best on your
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: own team is not a pill that a lot of
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: professional athletes can swallow and swallow in a professional way
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: to where they they don't have to bark and yap
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: about it. They just say, okay, that's fine, I mean
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: to some degree his My biggest issue with him or
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: not issue. My biggest fear with him was health and
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: can you can you withstand a seventeen game schedule. Well,
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: you he have a better chance of having him for
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: the whole year and when it matters towards the end
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: of the year, if he's not being targeted fifteen times
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: he was when he was a RAM, if it's three
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: or four times, and make you know, a couple first
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: down conversions, maybe a big play here and there. When
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: if they do start to double team Jackson, then you
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: you find a way to be open. I think that
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: he brings a lot to the table when it comes
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: to all those I got a sneaky suspicion.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: He's going to play a really good game this weekend.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I hope. So yeah, yeah, yeah, we all hope.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: Well, but that big play that against Arizona last week
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: was perfect. I mean if yeah, they've used him perfectly there.
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: I think you do something like that again.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm in Headline's next Softy Sports Radio ninety three
