- 0:18Speaker 1: Hardcore Football on Mondays at one o'clock with our good
- 0:21Speaker 1: friend Hugh Millan, who joins us right now. Hello, sir,
- 0:24Speaker 1: how are you?
- 0:24Speaker 3: I'm well?
- 0:25Speaker 4: How are you?
- 0:25Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. I don't know where to start
- 0:28Speaker 1: this thing. The Let me ask you a general question
- 0:31Speaker 1: about this game in this sense, because I was talking
- 0:33Speaker 1: to with the MJ in the mid day just moments ago,
- 0:38Speaker 1: and I think maybe I don't know. I know how
- 0:41Speaker 1: I kind of felt going looking at this thing beforehand,
- 0:44Speaker 1: and maybe it showed at times on the field it
- 0:47Speaker 1: was like, Okay, you're playing a one to nine team,
- 0:49Speaker 1: You're coming off that emotional, heartbreaking loss last seconds to
- 0:52Speaker 1: the Rams. You're going toe to toe with arguably the
- 0:54Speaker 1: best team in football, and you fall barely short. But no,
- 0:57Speaker 1: you can play with them. You're sitting there with a
- 0:59Speaker 1: seven and three record. You're really good. Everything's great. Now
- 1:02Speaker 1: you have to go across the country, second straight road
- 1:04Speaker 1: game against the one to nine Titans, a quarterback who
- 1:07Speaker 1: had the thirty third rated completion percentage in the NFL
- 1:12Speaker 1: thirty two teams. Keep that in mind, and out of
- 1:16Speaker 1: thirty four qualifiers in cam Ward and it ends up
- 1:20Speaker 1: being a little close. Do you think that there's a
- 1:22Speaker 1: mental aspect to that? Get at all, Hugh, going across
- 1:25Speaker 1: the country and all the things I just described.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Everything you just just touched, you know, ten Am, they've
- 1:29Speaker 3: been good at that. I look at it like, Okay,
- 1:34Speaker 3: if we had talked back in August and we said
- 1:37Speaker 3: that the Seahawks are going to be at this stage
- 1:39Speaker 3: eight and three after eleven games, and the three losses
- 1:46Speaker 3: are against playoff teams, So look at all the teams
- 1:49Speaker 3: that you've had to play that are not play I mean,
- 1:51Speaker 3: your only win against a playoff team right now it
- 1:58Speaker 3: is Jacksonville because Pits is narrowly out of it and
- 2:03Speaker 3: Houston is narrowly out of it. Right So, if I
- 2:07Speaker 3: had told you that you're not going to have an
- 2:10Speaker 3: upset to any of the non playoff teams, and in fact,
- 2:16Speaker 3: in just about every game, not only gonna step on
- 2:20Speaker 3: the Adams Apple from the jump. I mean, think of
- 2:23Speaker 3: how Seattle has been I mentioned Jacksonville, but against Arizona,
- 2:28Speaker 3: against New Orleans, I mean, they have put things away
- 2:34Speaker 3: really early, and so they've taken care of business. And
- 2:37Speaker 3: if I had told you that, well, one of them,
- 2:40Speaker 3: you're going to be in control. But you know the
- 2:44Speaker 3: opposition is going to score with forty five seconds to
- 2:47Speaker 3: go backdoor cover. Yeah, maybe a two on a nail
- 2:53Speaker 3: on your nails for the on side kick, but other
- 2:56Speaker 3: than an on side kick, you're not really gonna be
- 2:59Speaker 3: nerve about it. I don't know I would have signed
- 3:02Speaker 3: up for that. Yeah, I think So that means no losses. Yes,
- 3:06Speaker 3: in no, you're not being up quote unquote upset in
- 3:10Speaker 3: any of those.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Well, and we're we're now in the midst of college
- 3:12Speaker 1: football playoff time and we're looking at you know, wins,
- 3:16Speaker 1: right and losses and what's a bad loss, what's a
- 3:18Speaker 1: good win? All those types of things that they come
- 3:20Speaker 1: into play, and you know, you can't afford what you
- 3:22Speaker 1: just said, bad losses. Now, college football is not the NFL,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but I think it's a good compare. Like you said,
- 3:27Speaker 1: you're beating the teams you should beat, you know, and
- 3:30Speaker 1: the way this got. You can't control the way the
- 3:31Speaker 1: schedule sets up because the way the you know, frankly,
- 3:33Speaker 1: the way the schedule set up before the season. Pittsburgh
- 3:36Speaker 1: on the road, tough game, right, that'd be a hard game.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Washington's coming off a division championship last year. You annihilate them.
- 3:43Speaker 1: That's not your fault that they're not as good as
- 3:45Speaker 1: last year. I mean, so you've done what you need
- 3:46Speaker 1: to do. I think it's important. And I know you
- 3:50Speaker 1: were on the offensive side of the football. But Mike
- 3:53Speaker 1: McDonald in that last possession, so you know, the Seahawks
- 3:57Speaker 1: have that, you know, the full thirteen point lead, and
- 4:01Speaker 1: they get the ball back this Tennessee with five oweight
- 4:03Speaker 1: to go, and they end up going and Hugh, this
- 4:07Speaker 1: cannot be how you would draw it up if for Tennessee.
- 4:09Speaker 1: But it's exactly I'm assuming how Mike McDonald would want
- 4:12Speaker 1: it to go. A fifteen play, sixty two yard drive
- 4:16Speaker 1: for a touchdown at least just forty three seconds and
- 4:18Speaker 1: no timeouts left on the clock. That Mike McDonald's probably
- 4:21Speaker 1: okay with that, wouldn't he been? Uh? I mean, not
- 4:24Speaker 1: giving up a touchdown. But it's like you're you're kind
- 4:26Speaker 1: of giving stuff up, but you're not sure you're not
- 4:28Speaker 1: letting them get a big play, and all of a
- 4:30Speaker 1: sudden having a better chance. Yeah.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think he would have said, if
- 4:34Speaker 3: given three grades, you know, he said, that's the middle one,
- 4:39Speaker 3: we accomplish the objective with almost extinguishing the clock. Wouldn't
- 4:44Speaker 3: have been happy. I don't think he's ever gonna be
- 4:45Speaker 3: happy giving up a touchdown. But you know what, you
- 4:48Speaker 3: put a athletic quarterback that was the number one overall pick,
- 4:53Speaker 3: who is a talent he's got. He's got a big
- 4:56Speaker 3: time arm talent. I think he's got very, very, very
- 5:00Speaker 3: plus traits in terms of his pocket navigation when the
- 5:05Speaker 3: play gets off script. I wouldn't give him great grigades
- 5:08Speaker 3: yet for operating, you know, really in a timely funk,
- 5:14Speaker 3: professional function. But I think he's got such a bad
- 5:16Speaker 3: team around him. Yeah, it forces him to playoff script,
- 5:19Speaker 3: and he's got a real feel for navigating pockets and
- 5:22Speaker 3: looking for big plays and and you know, he's not
- 5:25Speaker 3: twitchy like Kyler Murray, but he's pretty damn athletic. And
- 5:29Speaker 3: he's stronger than Kyler Murray, so he can break through
- 5:31Speaker 3: a couple of arm tackles here and there, and so
- 5:33Speaker 3: I think he can be a load. And and you know,
- 5:35Speaker 3: he had some runs, you know, again and again on
- 5:38Speaker 3: fourth down, you know, extending plays or the ability to
- 5:41Speaker 3: run and pick up the first down himself. So give
- 5:45Speaker 3: him some credit. I mean, he's the number one overall
- 5:47Speaker 3: pick in the draft. And and and by the way,
- 5:49Speaker 3: not even close, right, there was no drama to that pick.
- 5:53Speaker 3: He was he was he was clearly the number one.
- 5:57Speaker 3: So I don't know, I just personally, I've been on
- 6:02Speaker 3: really bad teams. I've been on really good teams, you know,
- 6:06Speaker 3: the Cowboys during their their heyday and through their dynasty,
- 6:12Speaker 3: and even the best teams are going to have a
- 6:16Speaker 3: game where it's you know, not every opponent is UC Davis.
- 6:20Speaker 3: I don't even under quite honestly, I don't even understand it.
- 6:23Speaker 3: I mean, there was enough guys out yesterday emotionally that
- 6:26Speaker 3: that touchdown. Getting back to cam Ward made the comment
- 6:29Speaker 3: earlier that touchdown when he ran and remember he kind
- 6:32Speaker 3: of got upended on it, that that defense was so
- 6:40Speaker 3: flat into emotionally, they everybody's pad level was way too high.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Everybody was catching blocks. It was kind of like why
- 6:49Speaker 3: don't you make the play? You know, nobody was flying
- 6:52Speaker 3: to the ball. I mean, but the score was thirty
- 6:54Speaker 3: to ten in the third quarter, and so I think
- 6:58Speaker 3: that they were just kind of like, let's just get
- 7:01Speaker 3: this thing to h to double zero and.
- 7:04Speaker 1: Get out of here.
- 7:04Speaker 3: And and it kind of showed on some of the drives,
- 7:06Speaker 3: which gives Mike McDonald an opportunity to put it on
- 7:11Speaker 3: tape and and say, you know, as opposed to it,
- 7:14Speaker 3: had they had they had a game like the Washington
- 7:17Speaker 3: Commander game, right, and everybody's just going, oh, Seattle's back
- 7:21Speaker 3: and then surging them in the power and then now
- 7:24Speaker 3: everybody's you know, back to throwing bouquets at at the Seahawks.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Then now you got to say, hey, remember now, you know,
- 7:31Speaker 3: there's a lot of work we got to do. I
- 7:32Speaker 3: think that that there's almost an ideal blend of I mean,
- 7:36Speaker 3: certainly win is the most important thing, uh, staying healthy
- 7:39Speaker 3: is the next most important thing.
- 7:41Speaker 1: But then being able to uh to get.
- 7:43Speaker 3: You know, learn some lessons and and try and derive
- 7:47Speaker 3: more focus and and and make adjustments. You know. The
- 7:50Speaker 3: the first quarter, Seawks are playing a bunch of man
- 7:53Speaker 3: to man, which on paper sounds good. It's like, wait
- 7:56Speaker 3: a minute, these receivers for Tennessee by NFL standards are
- 8:02Speaker 3: about as poor as you can be. I would say
- 8:05Speaker 3: probably they're receiving. You know, with Calvin Ridley out especially,
- 8:08Speaker 3: they weren't good. They weren't good with Calvin Ridley and
- 8:10Speaker 3: he's on IR So without them, I I have no
- 8:13Speaker 3: hesitation saying they are the thirty second ranked wide receiver group.
- 8:16Speaker 3: So for Mike McDonald to come out in the first
- 8:18Speaker 3: quarter and say, we're going man and man are our
- 8:21Speaker 3: our cats are just better than your cats. And and
- 8:25Speaker 3: yet they they didn't do a good job of handling
- 8:28Speaker 3: shallow crosses and which is you know, you know, you know,
- 8:32Speaker 3: kind of your your garden variety staple of to try
- 8:34Speaker 3: and beat man and man, particularly press man and man.
- 8:37Speaker 3: And uh, they weren't what's called cutting with the safeties
- 8:40Speaker 3: and passing off to robbers, the things that you do.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Robert would be a shallow whole player over the middle
- 8:46Speaker 3: that can help with the shallow cross and and what
- 8:49Speaker 3: have you? And I mean on the touchdown, Uh, yet
- 8:53Speaker 3: Emon worry and this is the last touchdown passed by Ward.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Uh that was man and man and and they do
- 8:59Speaker 3: just a basic garden variety pick on the goal line
- 9:02Speaker 3: and Josh job And is the outside guy. Emon Morey
- 9:06Speaker 3: is one man in. They do a little. The receivers
- 9:09Speaker 3: just basically do a criss cross, you know, to put
- 9:12Speaker 3: it in very simple playground terms, And you got to
- 9:15Speaker 3: communicate pass that thing off. I mean, it's in an
- 9:17Speaker 3: empty stadium. You're you know, they're not gonna be yelling
- 9:20Speaker 3: for the offense. I mean, there should have been ample
- 9:22Speaker 3: opportunity to communicate that, but they don't, and it's an
- 9:26Speaker 3: easy touchdown. It's you know, so I think that there
- 9:28Speaker 3: was just no question, a lack of focus on a
- 9:34Speaker 3: number of occasions. And again, I just think they were
- 9:37Speaker 3: trying to get the clock to double zero. And it's
- 9:40Speaker 3: the difference between theory and reality. If you're a fan
- 9:43Speaker 3: that says, wait a minute, these guys should never ever
- 9:47Speaker 3: ever have a single play, a single quarter, a single
- 9:50Speaker 3: drive where they are not emotionally supercharged. It's not baseball
- 9:55Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty two games. It's not basketball eighty
- 9:59Speaker 3: two games. It is football just seventeen. You know what
- 10:03Speaker 3: preach I agree with that in theory. In reality, show
- 10:09Speaker 3: me the team that exhibits that on every drive of
- 10:12Speaker 3: the season, and so, yeah, look, you had a really
- 10:16Speaker 3: devastating loss to the Ramsey didn't have Ernest Jones, and
- 10:21Speaker 3: you're playing a one win team and you've already you know,
- 10:25Speaker 3: so so the world that you can bootstomp on lousy
- 10:28Speaker 3: teams like it was like literally a no win situation.
- 10:31Speaker 3: So I don't derive any dissatisfaction by what I saw whatever,
- 10:37Speaker 3: But fan, how you want a fan? If you're concerned
- 10:39Speaker 3: that they didn't win by thirty, then you know that's
- 10:41Speaker 3: your prerograph.
- 10:41Speaker 1: I think, and I think what you said about theory
- 10:44Speaker 1: is so true because the reality is when you're playing
- 10:48Speaker 1: a seventeen game schedule and you have been playing really
- 10:51Speaker 1: you've been going, you know, throttle down since July twenty sixth,
- 10:59Speaker 1: right when training camp started. And training camp is one thing.
- 11:02Speaker 1: The week to week grind is another. But I mean,
- 11:05Speaker 1: I don't know if people and I don't fully understand
- 11:08Speaker 1: it because I didn't play in the NFL obviously, but
- 11:11Speaker 1: being around it for a lot of years, the grind
- 11:15Speaker 1: and the week to week it's going to wear on
- 11:17Speaker 1: you at some point. And it's different than an eighty
- 11:19Speaker 1: two game NBA or NHL season, But there are similarities. Yeah,
- 11:23Speaker 1: there's not a game, there's not four games a week,
- 11:25Speaker 1: there's one, but there's twelve hour days with meetings and
- 11:28Speaker 1: practices and all that that started back in July. You're
- 11:30Speaker 1: going to have a letdown. You're going to have those
- 11:31Speaker 1: weeks where you're like, Okay, it's a little harder to
- 11:34Speaker 1: get up for. And I think what the sign is
- 11:36Speaker 1: of a good football team. They didn't kick it right.
- 11:39Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't lose it. They didn't. They didn't,
- 11:41Speaker 1: they didn't nothing. They didn't stub their toe. And the
- 11:43Speaker 1: NFL doesn't care. There's no style points, there's no CFP committee,
- 11:46Speaker 1: there's no committee here. You're in, you know, with whatever
- 11:48Speaker 1: you do when you go there, it is hardcore football.
- 11:51Speaker 1: T U Millon. I want to ask you about one guy,
- 11:53Speaker 1: specifically the next five minutes before we got to take
- 11:56Speaker 1: a break, and I'm really curious and I just want
- 11:59Speaker 1: to kind of empty laid it for you. Do you
- 12:01Speaker 1: like the way the Seahawks use Devin Witherspoon And if not,
- 12:05Speaker 1: what would you do? And this is this is I'm
- 12:09Speaker 1: you're gonna say I and you're the dumbest human being.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I've talked to you today and who I've talked to
- 12:12Speaker 1: like one hundred people. But I'm gonna tell you this,
- 12:15Speaker 1: I don't feel like I see Devin Witherspoon making as
- 12:17Speaker 1: big of an impact as I have in the past years.
- 12:20Speaker 1: And it's a great defense. And maybe that's by design,
- 12:21Speaker 1: they're just not going towards them or what have you.
- 12:23Speaker 1: But do you like what they're doing Devin Witherspoon or
- 12:26Speaker 1: is there a way to make him more impactful? I
- 12:28Speaker 1: do like it, okay, because I know he was involved
- 12:30Speaker 1: in the Blitzer Murphy got the sack and all that,
- 12:33Speaker 1: But I just it's I want to I want to
- 12:35Speaker 1: get your thoughts on how they use them and so forth. Well,
- 12:38Speaker 1: I do like it.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Now, keep in mind that here's a guy that at Illinois.
- 12:44Speaker 3: I don't have the the snaps, but it's pretty pretty.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Close in my memory, right.
- 12:49Speaker 3: So he his ratio of outside plays was about six
- 12:54Speaker 3: to one. Okay, outside versus inside. Okay, So here's you're
- 12:57Speaker 3: talking about one hundred a guy that there was a
- 13:00Speaker 3: hundred eighty one pounds at the Combine and he played
- 13:04Speaker 3: again at Illinois and outside by a six to one ratio.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Approximately don't quote me. It might be five to one,
- 13:11Speaker 3: but it's it's something in those orders. So now he
- 13:15Speaker 3: comes in, and why was he the fifth overall pick?
- 13:19Speaker 3: I mean we did those shows. You were there at
- 13:22Speaker 3: rent with me, and you're like, who should they take
- 13:24Speaker 3: because this is a fifth pick? Yep, And I suck
- 13:27Speaker 3: it at predicting Seahawks draft picks through the years, twenty
- 13:32Speaker 3: seven years. I think I got two, So I'm I'm awful.
- 13:35Speaker 3: I said I would take Jalen Carter. To me, he's
- 13:38Speaker 3: worth the risk. And everybody's all upset about well, he
- 13:41Speaker 3: was involved with a you know, in a fatality where
- 13:45Speaker 3: they were racing the cars, and I said, listen, I
- 13:48Speaker 3: don't want to be crass, but there are some gms
- 13:53Speaker 3: behind closed doors that say, what's the problem. I don't
- 13:56Speaker 3: care if he's he was driving fast.
- 13:57Speaker 1: In fact, I kind of liked that he was driving fast.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Now, obviously I don't need to say that any any
- 14:03Speaker 3: fatality involved, particularly the young person, this is a horrific tragedy.
- 14:08Speaker 3: But as you're evaluating Jaya anyways, sorry no, yeah, But
- 14:13Speaker 3: but to me, it's like, take Jalen Carter and we've
- 14:17Speaker 3: got the podcast to prove that, but you take the
- 14:20Speaker 3: fifth pick on one hundred and eighty one pound dB,
- 14:23Speaker 3: he better need more than just one hundred and eighty
- 14:25Speaker 3: one pound dB. And I was at the Falcons when
- 14:28Speaker 3: the Falcons drafted Don who was probably not much more
- 14:31Speaker 3: than one hundred and eighty one. He better be like
- 14:33Speaker 3: special if you're the fifth pick in the draft, you know, right,
- 14:37Speaker 3: and so well, what's special about him? Uber competitor, great instincts,
- 14:42Speaker 3: can hit like a son of a you know, for
- 14:45Speaker 3: his size. But Seattle, then they say, all right, let's
- 14:49Speaker 3: put him at nickel and let that that juice be
- 14:52Speaker 3: close to the line of scrimmage. Let him have havoc. Well,
- 14:56Speaker 3: it's just hard at that size to uh to have
- 15:00Speaker 3: of durability. And we he already missed different games this
- 15:04Speaker 3: year from two different injuries. And so to me it's like, hey,
- 15:09Speaker 3: you drafted Emon Worry, who is not one hundred and
- 15:12Speaker 3: eighty one pounds at the combine was exactly two twenty.
- 15:15Speaker 3: You got a nick you're replacing a Nickel. And Seattle,
- 15:19Speaker 3: by the way, I got updated this week, but they
- 15:21Speaker 3: were they've been number one in the NFL in use
- 15:23Speaker 3: of nickel, like over like eighty six percent of their snaps, right,
- 15:27Speaker 3: So Seattle's going to play nickel. Who's gonna be the nickel?
- 15:30Speaker 3: And and and as a quarterback, I look and say, well,
- 15:32Speaker 3: what do you mean nickel? It's just the nickel Sam.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Like if I was in a quarterback meeting room, I said, Okay,
- 15:37Speaker 3: Drake Thomas is the will, and Ernest Jones is the
- 15:40Speaker 3: mic and and uh Devin Witherspoon before and Nick Emn
- 15:45Speaker 3: Worry now, I said, Nick Emon wore a number three.
- 15:47Speaker 3: He's the nickel Sam, Like, Okay, so he has he
- 15:49Speaker 3: has outside linebacker attributes.
- 15:51Speaker 1: So they're going to play the nickel.
- 15:53Speaker 3: And I just think it's, well, it's tempting to play
- 15:58Speaker 3: Devin Witherspoon maybe because of the athleticism and the juice.
- 16:01Speaker 3: I would just much rather have those thirty nine extra
- 16:04Speaker 3: pounds in the package of a total athletic freak, right
- 16:09Speaker 3: in Emon or Yeah, so I uh Now, Witherspoon's competitiveness
- 16:15Speaker 3: still pops. I mean you saw him on bubble screens
- 16:18Speaker 3: and you know, and and outside plays stretch. I mean,
- 16:21Speaker 3: he's gonna battle you. It's just you're gonna take He's
- 16:24Speaker 3: gonna take less of a pounding. And he has this
- 16:27Speaker 3: the physical traits to be an outside corner. So to
- 16:30Speaker 3: answer your question, for these reasons, yes, I like exactly
- 16:35Speaker 3: what they're doing. In fact, when Witherspoon came back, remember
- 16:38Speaker 3: there was that that change that we only saw four
- 16:40Speaker 3: plays early on in the year with Witherspoon and m
- 16:43Speaker 3: and Rory right, and then so then when Emon Wory
- 16:46Speaker 3: got healthy, Witherspoon was hurt and so I can't remember.
- 16:49Speaker 3: It might have been the Airs of Zona game, whatever
- 16:51Speaker 3: the game was. I was like, I cannot wait to
- 16:54Speaker 3: see what they do with Witherspoon and Emon Wory now
- 16:57Speaker 3: that they've got him healthy. If I if I was
- 16:59Speaker 3: my Donald, I would have the M and Warrior as
- 17:01Speaker 3: the nickel and and bump Devin with a spoon out.
- 17:04Speaker 1: That's that's what I was hoping to see. And that's
- 17:06Speaker 1: exactly what he did. Good. That's perfect. That's a great explanation,
- 17:09Speaker 1: and I think that makes makes sense in a lot
- 17:11Speaker 1: of ways. And yeah, I mean em and Warri is
- 17:12Speaker 1: just a treat to watch that guy play. And you know,
- 17:16Speaker 1: you have you have unique talents and skill sets and
- 17:18Speaker 1: all those things. And that's why I wanted to have
- 17:21Speaker 1: you answer. That's why we have you on for hardcore football, right,
- 17:23Speaker 1: we come back. We got to talk about Jackson Smith
- 17:26Speaker 1: and Jig but it's hardcore football. So we'll break down
- 17:29Speaker 1: the sixty three yard touchdown pass and talk a little
- 17:32Speaker 1: bit about Sam Donald's day as well. And they're taking
- 17:35Speaker 1: on the Vikings this week. His old team might be
- 17:38Speaker 1: a little extra juice for Sam Donald. We'll talk about that,
- 17:40Speaker 1: Hugh Millen. Hardcore Football continues.
- 17:46Speaker 5: From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
- 17:51Speaker 5: back to Ian Fernez powered by Seattle Closest Sports book
- 17:55Speaker 5: Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
- 17:58Speaker 5: three point three jr FL.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Why we're back rolling along, you're milling with us, Hugh,
- 18:09Speaker 1: All right, So, I mean, I guess I'm glad we
- 18:11Speaker 1: talked about Witherspoon because you know, I don't know why,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and then and you're watching it far different than I am.
- 18:17Speaker 1: It just kind of felt like the witherspot I see
- 18:20Speaker 1: in the past. Maybe he isn't jumping off the screen
- 18:22Speaker 1: as much as it had in the past.
- 18:23Speaker 3: You're right, and in the slot you would expect the
- 18:25Speaker 3: guy to bring the heat and pop over the course
- 18:28Speaker 3: of three hours, but at cornerback oftentimes. No news is
- 18:33Speaker 3: good news. Got three hours. I remember his name coming up. Yeah,
- 18:36Speaker 3: well it did a couple of times in tackling. Yes,
- 18:39Speaker 3: you know that's a good thing when you say, oh,
- 18:42Speaker 3: I haven't seen twenty one today.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I mean yeah he had and he
- 18:45Speaker 1: had two pass defense, So I get that. But yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 1: it makes it does make sense that that that is
- 18:49Speaker 1: a position less is more right right less? More like
- 18:53Speaker 1: Keifer would tell you, like left tackles. Yeah, oh I
- 18:55Speaker 1: don't remember. Let I don't remember Charles Cross. I remember
- 18:58Speaker 1: thinking about him during the game. That's good, Yeah, no
- 19:00Speaker 1: it is. I do remembers tackles yesterday though they each
- 19:03Speaker 1: each of them had a penalty across a had two
- 19:06Speaker 1: disablehead one. All right, let me get to what Let's
- 19:10Speaker 1: see what times everyone, Okay, I want to get to
- 19:12Speaker 1: a couple of things here. Let me let me just
- 19:13Speaker 1: first because I can't go a hardcore football segment without
- 19:17Speaker 1: talking about a guy that has to be a first
- 19:19Speaker 1: team All Pro. He's on the pace to set maybe
- 19:22Speaker 1: still an NFL record. He's already set the Seahawk single
- 19:24Speaker 1: season record for receiving year as Jackson Smith and Jig,
- 19:26Speaker 1: but he popped Hugh eleven o two mark in the
- 19:29Speaker 1: second quarter, sixty three yards from Sam Darold. This is
- 19:32Speaker 1: ourcore football walks through it, sir, you want you want
- 19:35Speaker 1: that touchdown? Yes, okay, So it's it's it's man and man.
- 19:39Speaker 3: And when Jackson Smith goes in motion from left to right,
- 19:42Speaker 3: he's going to line up on a trips right as
- 19:44Speaker 3: the innermost guy. What defense is called number three out
- 19:48Speaker 3: of the trips, but it's a safety that is in
- 19:52Speaker 3: outside leverage. Number thirty seven. I didn't get the rosterrup,
- 19:56Speaker 3: but thirty seven is the hooker.
- 19:58Speaker 1: A hooker. Yeah.
- 19:59Speaker 3: And so as a quarterback, if I want, if I'm
- 20:02Speaker 3: gonna throw a corner, a corner route is obviously an
- 20:05Speaker 3: outbreaking route. You go vertical up and then you stand
- 20:08Speaker 3: at approximately twelve yards and you go diagonally and up
- 20:12Speaker 3: the field right corner rout. So there's different angles you
- 20:17Speaker 3: can take it on. And just think of an analog clock. Okay,
- 20:20Speaker 3: so the center, you know, twelve o'clock would be straight ahead.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Three o'clock is a right angle. So at corner route,
- 20:26Speaker 3: let's just to keep it in real simple turn do
- 20:28Speaker 3: you want to do? You want to take a flat
- 20:29Speaker 3: angle like it's going to two o'clock off to the right,
- 20:33Speaker 3: or a high angle like you're going to one o'clock.
- 20:36Speaker 3: There are coaches that coach, hey, always try and bend
- 20:40Speaker 3: that thing at two o'clock. It's an easier completion. Quarterback,
- 20:44Speaker 3: pull them to the sideline. We're not going to get
- 20:46Speaker 3: any run after the catch, but we're going to get
- 20:49Speaker 3: a higher chance for a completion. Some coaches say, all right,
- 20:54Speaker 3: take the high angle if you have it, and in
- 20:56Speaker 3: this case, you see JSN. He says, well, I got
- 20:59Speaker 3: a safety on the outside. He's low enough on the
- 21:02Speaker 3: low shoulder that he can't really cross his face and
- 21:06Speaker 3: go to two o'clock on the analog clock. So he now,
- 21:08Speaker 3: he says, well, I got to go to one o'clock,
- 21:10Speaker 3: and so he's got to go over the top of
- 21:12Speaker 3: the well. He doesn't have great speed against a dB
- 21:15Speaker 3: or a corner, but against the safety, he has adequate speed,
- 21:19Speaker 3: you know, to be opened by maybe a step step
- 21:21Speaker 3: and a half. That's still a long throw. That ball
- 21:25Speaker 3: was in the air fifty three yards wow. Okay, the
- 21:28Speaker 3: NFL calculated at forty three air yards. But but from
- 21:33Speaker 3: where Donald was left hash five six yards behind the line,
- 21:36Speaker 3: of scrimmage and then you count that the diagonal. I
- 21:40Speaker 3: calculated it. It was in the air fifty three yards,
- 21:43Speaker 3: so you're you have to you're trying to walk it
- 21:46Speaker 3: to a guy on the dead run from fifty three
- 21:48Speaker 3: yards away. It was slightly underthrown, I mean barely underthrown.
- 21:53Speaker 3: But that's where Jasn's brilliance is where he then with
- 21:58Speaker 3: a guy on the outside technique, he's he's gonna just
- 22:02Speaker 3: push him just barely enough to get a few inches
- 22:06Speaker 3: of separation, but not so much to get the offensive
- 22:09Speaker 3: pass interference. It's like the perfect amount. And then you
- 22:12Speaker 3: know when guys are draping around him and distracting him
- 22:15Speaker 3: and what have you. He wh when you're running full
- 22:17Speaker 3: speed and you look back at that ball that the
- 22:21Speaker 3: ball is shaking because your head is shaking. Like there's
- 22:24Speaker 3: a lot of receivers have a hard time with the
- 22:27Speaker 3: nuance of being able to finish the catch with deep
- 22:31Speaker 3: you know, the dB all around him and grabbing and
- 22:34Speaker 3: pushing on your arms and was, but he is just
- 22:36Speaker 3: he's the next level at that stuff. So that that
- 22:40Speaker 3: was just a huge part of it. And then and
- 22:42Speaker 3: then it was third down and the defensive line for
- 22:47Speaker 3: the Tennessee They align their defenders way to the outside.
- 22:51Speaker 3: You would never line that up that way and first
- 22:54Speaker 3: down right because you don't have the A and the
- 22:56Speaker 3: B gap covered on the right side, but you figure
- 22:58Speaker 3: it's third downs of passing down. So there they got
- 23:00Speaker 3: two pass rushers on the outside of Abe Lucas and
- 23:04Speaker 3: they're trying to what's called a five technique and a
- 23:06Speaker 3: nine technique that they're out wide and they're trying.
- 23:08Speaker 1: To get out wide. But it opened up a.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Vision lane for Sam Sam Darnold that was just very rare.
- 23:17Speaker 3: It was like seven on seven for him, So he's
- 23:19Speaker 3: able to take three hitches, great protection, not just great protection,
- 23:23Speaker 3: like very rare protection, and then a beautiful ball and
- 23:26Speaker 3: a beautiful finish.
- 23:27Speaker 1: I just I it was one of those plays. You
- 23:30Speaker 1: it's third and six and and all of a sudden
- 23:32Speaker 1: he drops back and he said as you described it,
- 23:35Speaker 1: and then the balls heaved down the field. I'm like,
- 23:38Speaker 1: what are you doing? Okay? Good? Like like just I mean,
- 23:41Speaker 1: I'm just thinking to myself, just get the first down
- 23:44Speaker 1: and then and I'm thinking that for whatever would have
- 23:46Speaker 1: been maybe a second and a half of airtime when
- 23:49Speaker 1: that ball is in the air, and then I saw
- 23:51Speaker 1: then into into the frame comes eleven and I'm like, okay,
- 23:55Speaker 1: that's fine, Like it's it's it's the chance and and
- 23:58Speaker 1: and you know, boom touched on. Thanks for coming. The
- 24:01Speaker 1: trust he's got to have in that guy is amazing.
- 24:04Speaker 1: The homework. I know you've probably started on it, and
- 24:07Speaker 1: I don't expect you to do it because it's for
- 24:08Speaker 1: next week's morning show. I thought it was an interesting question.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Tell folks with Homer asked you this morning.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he wants to know how many of Jackson
- 24:16Speaker 3: Smith and Jigba's targets are where there's somebody jamming and
- 24:22Speaker 3: impeding his progress. Be it manned man and what's called
- 24:25Speaker 3: two man five hunder man and man with two safeties
- 24:28Speaker 3: on that that half that would be one of the things,
- 24:32Speaker 3: or rolling the coverage if he's an outside on guy,
- 24:35Speaker 3: that's where the corners in the cloud and the safety
- 24:37Speaker 3: is over the top. Cloud is a universal football term
- 24:40Speaker 3: that means corner begins with a C, cornerback in the flat.
- 24:45Speaker 3: The corollaries to that is sky. That's universal football terminology,
- 24:49Speaker 3: which means safety is in the flat. So any cloud
- 24:53Speaker 3: would be would fit that. And then if he's in
- 24:55Speaker 3: the slot, is there an overhang defender that's walked out
- 24:58Speaker 3: and and impeding his free access? So it's really free
- 25:01Speaker 3: access is when I look, if I have a really
- 25:04Speaker 3: good receiver, I want to know whether he's in the
- 25:07Speaker 3: slot or whether he's outside. I said, are they allowing
- 25:09Speaker 3: him free access? Meaning he's not jammed at the line
- 25:13Speaker 3: and jam could be a zone which you know, rolled
- 25:16Speaker 3: as I said, or or it could be I'm looking
- 25:19Speaker 3: for off coverage on the outside and the overhang defender
- 25:22Speaker 3: is trying to midplay.
- 25:23Speaker 4: Uh.
- 25:24Speaker 3: You know, he may be responsible even though he's lined
- 25:26Speaker 3: up you think in the C gap. If there's a
- 25:27Speaker 3: defensive end out there, there can be a uh. If
- 25:30Speaker 3: jas N is in the slot, there could be There
- 25:32Speaker 3: are some fronts and and run fits where you say,
- 25:35Speaker 3: you're lined up in the slot, but you have the
- 25:37Speaker 3: B gap the gap between the guard and the tackle
- 25:40Speaker 3: even though you're out you know, out there on the
- 25:43Speaker 3: uh overhang. So so some of those guys midplay. Well,
- 25:47Speaker 3: that allows free access. So that's that's what he's he's
- 25:50Speaker 3: asking for. But you know, a note on Darnold and
- 25:53Speaker 3: the cohesion that he has with j s N. Last
- 25:57Speaker 3: year j s N on what is turned by the
- 26:00Speaker 3: NFL catchable air yards. That's not my term. Catchable air yards.
- 26:04Speaker 3: For the entire season, JSN had eight hundred and six
- 26:11Speaker 3: thus far this year, JSN has eight hundred and eighty
- 26:16Speaker 3: and he's still got six more games to go. And
- 26:18Speaker 3: the next closest guy is George Pickens at six thirty three,
- 26:23Speaker 3: so he's got I know that the yards are you
- 26:28Speaker 3: know about that ratio in terms of JSN. So these
- 26:31Speaker 3: aren't new numbers if you're just looking at the yards.
- 26:34Speaker 3: But I think it's again notable that the catchable air yards.
- 26:37Speaker 3: So what does that mean? It means that.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Sam Darnold is pushing the ball down the field.
- 26:42Speaker 3: He's number one in the NFL in yardsbear attempt, number
- 26:44Speaker 3: one in the NFL yardsbear completion, and he's pushing the
- 26:47Speaker 3: ball down, but he's giving JSN castable opportunities.
- 26:53Speaker 1: That's awesome. It just it's a thing of beauty watching
- 26:55Speaker 1: that right now, watching number eleven. And we'll tune in
- 26:58Speaker 1: next week when you finish your homework. I'm given to
- 27:00Speaker 1: you by professional Honger, and I like it, yes, and
- 27:02Speaker 1: I will report to you as well. I appreciate that Okay,
- 27:04Speaker 1: when we come back, I want to ask you and
- 27:07Speaker 1: actually a couple of people on the text line I
- 27:09Speaker 1: just randomly texted this in. I saw this and I said,
- 27:12Speaker 1: all right, well I'll ask you, uh, if you can
- 27:14Speaker 1: speak to the first Cleveland quarterback to win in his
- 27:17Speaker 1: first start in like a zillion years, Shudour Standers. We'll
- 27:20Speaker 1: do that coming up next on ninety three point three KJFM.
- 27:27Speaker 5: From the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. Now
- 27:31Speaker 5: back to Ian Fernez, powered by Seapple's Closest sports book,
- 27:35Speaker 5: Snow call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
- 27:39Speaker 5: three point three kJ R FM.
- 27:43Speaker 1: All Right, our football wrapping up with you, Millon, let
- 27:46Speaker 1: me a couple of people on the text line wanted
- 27:48Speaker 1: to get your thoughts to you because you mentioned it.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Cam Ward was the unquestioned number one pick overall in
- 27:53Speaker 1: the NFL draft this past spring. As you mentioned, there
- 27:55Speaker 1: wasn't really even a debate about it. There was a
- 27:57Speaker 1: lot of debate about Shudur Sanders and where he should go,
- 28:00Speaker 1: where he will go, where he finally did go after
- 28:03Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. We should point out on day three he
- 28:06Speaker 1: had his first start over the weekend and the Browns
- 28:10Speaker 1: won the game twenty four to ten over the Whoa.
- 28:14Speaker 1: That's a whole different topic are raiders with Peeing Company,
- 28:18Speaker 1: but they went at twenty four to ten. Sudor Sanders wins.
- 28:21Speaker 1: This gets the first win as a Cleveland starter in
- 28:24Speaker 1: his first in his debut first start, I guess, and
- 28:27Speaker 1: I think it was nineteen years. He was eleven of
- 28:29Speaker 1: twenty for two or nine yards and an interception. He
- 28:34Speaker 1: had a touchdown eighty seven point three passer rating touchdown
- 28:39Speaker 1: with sixty six yards if I'm not mistaken. It was
- 28:41Speaker 1: a short throw, catch and run. And then he had
- 28:43Speaker 1: a fifty two yard pass as well that might have
- 28:46Speaker 1: had more air yards. Hugh. My math tells me the
- 28:49Speaker 1: rest of the game he threw for ninety one yards
- 28:51Speaker 1: when he take away those two plays. But I didn't
- 28:54Speaker 1: see the game. I'm just looking at numbers. Your thoughts
- 28:57Speaker 1: on Shuder Sanders' first career start.
- 28:59Speaker 3: I watched the lot of it. I didn't see everything,
- 29:02Speaker 3: but you know, regarding his numbers, as you said, he
- 29:07Speaker 3: had a sixty six yard touchdown on a swing route.
- 29:10Speaker 3: The NFL calculated they always do air yards on every attempt.
- 29:16Speaker 3: It was minus five, meaning in their calculation it was
- 29:20Speaker 3: five yards behind the line of scrimmage. So he throws
- 29:23Speaker 3: a swing pass, So obviously that's a gift from the gods.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Butt early on in the game, he had been flushed
- 29:28Speaker 3: out of the pocket through you know, one of the
- 29:30Speaker 3: best passes of the weekend, you know, hit a guy
- 29:35Speaker 3: in a diamond and that went down to the two
- 29:37Speaker 3: yard line. You referenced that play. So but if you
- 29:41Speaker 3: take away that sixty six yard swing route that was
- 29:44Speaker 3: caught five yards behind the line of scrimmage, he would
- 29:47Speaker 3: have been ten of nineteen, one hundred and forty three yards,
- 29:51Speaker 3: no touchdowns, a pick, and a passer rating of fifty
- 29:53Speaker 3: five point four. So I would just say pump the brakes.
- 29:58Speaker 3: It was a very easy on ramp. As you allude
- 30:02Speaker 3: to playing the Raiders there and where they are at
- 30:05Speaker 3: this juncture of the season, He's going to get his opportunities,
- 30:09Speaker 3: I know in that division. I haven't looked at their schedule,
- 30:11Speaker 3: but but if he's going to start the next five games,
- 30:15Speaker 3: six was a five left, he uh, he'll he'll get
- 30:19Speaker 3: tested and we'll see. I think that he's matured. If
- 30:23Speaker 3: you want to make an argument that he's matured. You
- 30:25Speaker 3: can find evidence for that. But then he'll do things
- 30:29Speaker 3: like what he said. I thought it was so bad.
- 30:31Speaker 3: I thought it was AI. I didn't believe it when
- 30:34Speaker 3: somebody sent me this text what he said on the
- 30:36Speaker 3: field or he said, and I did that with only
- 30:39Speaker 3: one week. Just think what happens. I thought, that's not real.
- 30:43Speaker 3: That's that's one of these AI skit you know, skit things.
- 30:46Speaker 3: And well it turns out it's real. And so I
- 30:49Speaker 3: just I think that he really needs to think about
- 30:53Speaker 3: how he comes across to his teammates and and you know,
- 30:58Speaker 3: that's just he's in the same SITUA is every young quarterback,
- 31:01Speaker 3: no different. I can't even believe this is a talking
- 31:04Speaker 3: point about you know, you know what reps he did
- 31:07Speaker 3: or didn't get. He was a fifth round draft pick rookie.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you got.
- 31:11Speaker 3: He gets more than ninety five percent of fifth round
- 31:14Speaker 3: draft pick rookies.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:15Speaker 2: No.
- 31:15Speaker 1: We had that conversation with Holgrin last week about the
- 31:17Speaker 1: exact same thing. It's like people were losing their mind.
- 31:20Speaker 1: It can't believe he doesn't ge any reps and all this,
- 31:21Speaker 1: and like Mike's like, yeah, that's how it works in practice.
- 31:24Speaker 1: That's you don't get the reps when you're number two
- 31:26Speaker 1: or three on the on the depth chart was four. Yeah, exactly.
- 31:29Speaker 1: They had Pickett. Yeah yeah. The All right, let me
- 31:33Speaker 1: let me throw one more little wild card at you.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Because I mentioned the Raiders. I'm curious, just top of
- 31:38Speaker 1: your head, somebody says to Hugh Millin chip Kelly and
- 31:41Speaker 1: he just got fired yesterday by the Raiders and feels
- 31:44Speaker 1: like he's been fired a lot outside of his success
- 31:47Speaker 1: at Oregon. When I say, chip Kelly, what what do
- 31:49Speaker 1: you think of?
- 31:50Speaker 3: I think of the like a stock market, like the
- 31:53Speaker 3: most volatile stock you could imagine. Because when he hits
- 31:56Speaker 3: the scene under it would have been Mike Bla at Oregon,
- 32:00Speaker 3: it'd been the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire. Anybody could
- 32:03Speaker 3: have grabbed him, including the Huskies right and the Cougars right.
- 32:07Speaker 3: And somehow Ballotti saw something and he was incredible. They
- 32:12Speaker 3: had a decade the Ducks where they won over eighty
- 32:16Speaker 3: percent of their games. I hate to say it, I
- 32:20Speaker 3: wish it wasn't true. Washington's never had a decade like that,
- 32:24Speaker 3: and I mean, that is a remarkable number. And chip
- 32:27Speaker 3: Kelly was kind of right at the center of that.
- 32:29Speaker 3: Then he goes to Philadelphia in year one, like, he
- 32:32Speaker 3: goes and and they don't even run the same offense.
- 32:36Speaker 3: You know, they drafted Matt Barkley in the fourth round.
- 32:38Speaker 3: I was certain that he needed an athletic quarterback to
- 32:41Speaker 3: run and stuff. He has success early on in Philadelphia,
- 32:44Speaker 3: and then that ways. Then he goes to San Francisco
- 32:47Speaker 3: and he's the head coach. He does nothing. He goes
- 32:49Speaker 3: to Ucla, he does nothing, and it's petering out so
- 32:53Speaker 3: bad that he says, I'd rather just be an offensive
- 32:56Speaker 3: coordinator for Ohio State than a head coach of UCLA.
- 32:59Speaker 3: He is then the most unbelievable see you know, he's
- 33:02Speaker 3: like the dude. Uh So, now the stock is back up, right,
- 33:07Speaker 3: and then Pete Carroll says, yeah, that's a hell of
- 33:09Speaker 3: a stock. I won't give me some of that. And
- 33:11Speaker 3: then now he got now the stock plummets again. I mean,
- 33:14Speaker 3: this guy is if you're if you're buying and selling
- 33:17Speaker 3: stock in chip Kelly, you have gone for a ride.
- 33:20Speaker 3: Because it's been at the highest and the lowest in
- 33:25Speaker 3: multiple occasions on both the peak and the valley.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Well, I always kind of look back at the Oregon time.
- 33:31Speaker 1: I mean, that's a program that Rich Brooks started, Mike
- 33:33Speaker 1: Belotti built to that next level. He took over for
- 33:37Speaker 1: Gary Crochton, I do believe as the offensive coordinator. Uh
- 33:40Speaker 1: and and then like I don't know, I mean, did
- 33:44Speaker 1: he build something there or did he take over for
- 33:47Speaker 1: in a great situation with Bolotti, you know, I guess.
- 33:49Speaker 3: Well, he took something and then took it to another level.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he absolutely took it to another level. And
- 33:55Speaker 3: you know he kind of hit everything, you know, the
- 33:57Speaker 3: pace and how they played, and that was when they
- 33:59Speaker 3: were really you know, unique, hitting their stride with the
- 34:03Speaker 3: new uniforms and the marketing and so everything that Oregon
- 34:06Speaker 3: was doing at that time was a novelty, right and
- 34:12Speaker 3: people go, oh, this is new. Well then, you know,
- 34:16Speaker 3: ten years later kind of everybody was doing it, and
- 34:19Speaker 3: then Oregon fell off because you know, I'm not saying
- 34:21Speaker 3: everybody was out to copy Oregon, but it just a
- 34:24Speaker 3: lot of things they were doing was making sense. So
- 34:26Speaker 3: you know, they would they would say, after a long completion,
- 34:29Speaker 3: I want to snap the ball in less than fifteen seconds.
- 34:32Speaker 3: So they would practice that. Their lineman would scream and
- 34:36Speaker 3: they would like they could they could communicate the play.
- 34:38Speaker 3: They could get up and snap the ball in less
- 34:40Speaker 3: than fifteen seconds after a thirty yard game. And they
- 34:42Speaker 3: had a lot of them.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Yeah, and their system, you know, they were they're just
- 34:47Speaker 3: like three or four running plays, just have a lot
- 34:50Speaker 3: of speed. Quarterbacks didn't have to have great arms or
- 34:52Speaker 3: great processing ability. Every team was so concerned about run
- 34:56Speaker 3: fits with their running game and playing fast that they'd
- 34:59Speaker 3: get guys receivers running open. And it really wasn't, you know, anything,
- 35:04Speaker 3: any real exquisite precision. It was just the pace at
- 35:09Speaker 3: how they didn't and what they what they made you
- 35:12Speaker 3: do to try and stop that quick running game.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Well, it didn't translate with Pete and Gino this year.
- 35:16Speaker 1: That's for damn sure. That stocks you can get.
- 35:19Speaker 3: I'm not touching that stock. No, I have no idea
- 35:21Speaker 3: what the future bringing for that guy.
- 35:23Speaker 1: But the more volatile guys than him, right, yeah, yeah,
- 35:30Speaker 1: exactly exactly. You still have to have some dudes, and
- 35:32Speaker 1: doesn't I mean the whole thing, the Raiders thing, And
- 35:36Speaker 1: we only care because it's Pete and what he did
- 35:38Speaker 1: here can never ever be taken away, you know, I
- 35:41Speaker 1: just I don't know selfishly, I wish he hadn't gone
- 35:44Speaker 1: there because it just feel like it's a dumpster fire
- 35:46Speaker 1: and no one can succeed. I mean, the introim coaches,
- 35:50Speaker 1: the only guy's been above five hundred the last twenty years.
- 35:52Speaker 1: For them, they haven't won a playoff game in nineteen years.
- 35:53Speaker 1: The coulds of fame, That's what I'm That's the thing
- 35:56Speaker 1: I'm worried about. You know. For him, it's it's legacy.
- 35:59Speaker 3: He might have been on, you know, on the cut
- 36:00Speaker 3: and this could have pushed him back, just like with
- 36:02Speaker 3: russ Yep.

- 39:34Speaker 2: here's the infernetes.
- 39:36Speaker 1: Mike Sando joins us here on the Beacon on the
- 39:40Speaker 1: hotline our weekly visit with Mike, which we always enjoy.
- 39:43Speaker 1: He writes the Pick six column at The Athletic. Theathletic
- 39:45Speaker 1: dot Com Mike, I referenced not one, but two things
- 39:49Speaker 1: you wrote today in my crosstalk session with Mark James
- 39:51Speaker 1: at twelve forty five today. That's how good the pick
- 39:53Speaker 1: six was? How are you, my friend? Pretty good?
- 39:55Speaker 4: What about the other for?
- 39:56Speaker 1: I mean, come on, well, I got the rest of
- 39:58Speaker 1: the week. I got the rest week to get to
- 40:00Speaker 1: all those things. It was an interesting weekend in the
- 40:03Speaker 1: National Football I'm gonna stay with this just because we
- 40:05Speaker 1: talked about with Hugh mill In a moment ago and
- 40:07Speaker 1: we just found out that Shud door Standards will indeed
- 40:10Speaker 1: be the starter this week. I don't know if there's
- 40:13Speaker 1: a more polarizing young player in the NFL than she
- 40:15Speaker 1: do or standers going back to the draft and even
- 40:17Speaker 1: his time at Colorado. But they come up with a win,
- 40:21Speaker 1: which starting quarterbacks in their first start for the Browns
- 40:24Speaker 1: normally don't do. They did beat the Raiders, which that
- 40:27Speaker 1: we need to point that out. It's the Raiders, but
- 40:29Speaker 1: they did beat them. His numbers were skewed by a
- 40:33Speaker 1: swing pass. It goes for sixty two, but they get
- 40:35Speaker 1: the win. So, as you wrote, it's the narrative, which
- 40:38Speaker 1: one do you want to choose? So which one does
- 40:40Speaker 1: Mike Sando choose Hey, let's see more.
- 40:42Speaker 4: You know, I think that it would have been hard
- 40:45Speaker 4: to go back to a different player because they won
- 40:48Speaker 4: the game, right, And as a coach, you're probably taking
- 40:51Speaker 4: the field of the locker room, right, you know, with
- 40:54Speaker 4: the guy. You can't lie to the team if they
- 40:55Speaker 4: feel like, you know, Sanders gave him a spark of
- 40:58Speaker 4: some kind, let's go with them, you know. So to me,
- 41:01Speaker 4: I think this makes the most sense, and I'm anxious to.
- 41:05Speaker 1: See him play.
- 41:06Speaker 4: You know, I think he did not overly hold the
- 41:09Speaker 4: ball yesterday, which was the number one you know, probably
- 41:12Speaker 4: complaint in college. He just took a lot of sacks,
- 41:15Speaker 4: and yeah, the attitude stuff, I mean on the field
- 41:17Speaker 4: sometimes he you know, there was a play last year
- 41:19Speaker 4: where he an offensive lineman went to help him up
- 41:21Speaker 4: and he hit the hand away, you know, and so
- 41:23Speaker 4: some of that stuff, I think we're I just want
- 41:27Speaker 4: to see him play, you know. I think those types
- 41:29Speaker 4: of things are good for the draft build up and
- 41:33Speaker 4: talking about it. But now he's on a team and
- 41:35Speaker 4: he played and he wasn't horrific. I mean, we've seen
- 41:37Speaker 4: some guys, you know, JJ McCarthy's really struggling. We've seen
- 41:40Speaker 4: some other guys struggle. I thought, you know, for the Browns,
- 41:45Speaker 4: this wasn't It wasn't like he didn't lose the game. Now,
- 41:48Speaker 4: they were so good on defense and special teams that
- 41:50Speaker 4: maybe anybody would have won the game. But I thought
- 41:52Speaker 4: he was, Okay, you know, let's see more.
- 41:55Speaker 1: Let me stay with that game, because again, I'm just
- 41:58Speaker 1: something we've been discussing today on the on the radio.
- 42:01Speaker 1: The move was made by the Raiders. They get rid
- 42:04Speaker 1: of Chip Kelly. They followed to two and nine on
- 42:07Speaker 1: the season. It's just there's been it's just been been
- 42:10Speaker 1: a nightmare season for Pete Carroll and that Raiders franchise.
- 42:13Speaker 1: Right now, when you talk to guys around the league,
- 42:16Speaker 1: what do you hear about about the Raiders. Are are they
- 42:19Speaker 1: in the first year of a rebuild or where are
- 42:23Speaker 1: they at right now? Because I personally I love Pete Carroll.
- 42:26Speaker 1: You've got a Super Bowl for our city. I think
- 42:28Speaker 1: a lot of fans would echo those sentiments. And since
- 42:30Speaker 1: the Raiders aren't even in the same conference, you can
- 42:32Speaker 1: kind of almost trying to root for him. If I
- 42:34Speaker 1: don't know, Geno's maybe a different story. I worry and
- 42:36Speaker 1: he and I were talking about this. I worry about
- 42:38Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's legacy. We know how hard it is for
- 42:41Speaker 1: coaches to get into the Hall of Fame. He at
- 42:43Speaker 1: best was probably Mikey, you would agree. I'm assuming it
- 42:46Speaker 1: was probably borderline Hall of Famer. I don't know if
- 42:48Speaker 1: this hurts his legacy or his candidacy, but it just
- 42:51Speaker 1: just seems like a complete debacle there.
- 42:53Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't help him. I think anything that dilutes,
- 42:55Speaker 4: you know, your crowning achievement. I think the arc of
- 43:00Speaker 4: Pete Carroll was he was a pretty good NFL coach
- 43:03Speaker 4: with the Patriots, went reassessed his life, his career, how
- 43:07Speaker 4: he wanted to do things, came back as an amazing
- 43:10Speaker 4: coach at USC which you know isn't part of the
- 43:13Speaker 4: Pro Football Hall of Fame thing, but but we know
- 43:15Speaker 4: it's there. You know, it was part of his journey,
- 43:18Speaker 4: and then came to the NFL and proved that that
- 43:20Speaker 4: approach that people wondered if it could only work in
- 43:23Speaker 4: college super positivity, you know, was great for the c
- 43:28Speaker 4: X and he won with it and he built an
- 43:29Speaker 4: amazing culture with it. So if he wins the second
- 43:32Speaker 4: Super Bowl in Seattle, it's he's probably in. You know,
- 43:35Speaker 4: that's how close it comes. And now I think this
- 43:38Speaker 4: is something that will have to be assessed. It's not
- 43:41Speaker 4: helping him right now, but you know there's time and
- 43:43Speaker 4: there's you know, we'll see. I do think this though,
- 43:47Speaker 4: it's gotten harder, as we've learned with Mike Holmgren for
- 43:50Speaker 4: these coaches and non modernary players to get in at all. Right,
- 43:54Speaker 4: so you know this complicates it for him probably, Yeah.
- 43:57Speaker 1: I mean Mike's resume right now is better than Pet's, right,
- 44:00Speaker 1: I believe, I mean the three super Bow yeah, yeah.
- 44:03Speaker 1: And if Mike's waiting and Pete's gonna wait, Pete needs
- 44:06Speaker 1: to probably do something and not continue to have issues
- 44:09Speaker 1: with with this this particular franchise.
- 44:11Speaker 4: I think though, if he can turn it not it
- 44:13Speaker 4: doesn't have to win a championship with the Raiders, but
- 44:16Speaker 4: if he can kind of get him going like he
- 44:18Speaker 4: did in New England where you're a waiting team and
- 44:20Speaker 4: go to the playoffs, I think that would be that
- 44:22Speaker 4: would actually be good relative to where the Raiders have
- 44:24Speaker 4: been and could actually help Pete.
- 44:26Speaker 1: What do you hear around the league, What do you
- 44:29Speaker 1: hear from you talk to a lot of executives. What's
- 44:32Speaker 1: the story with now that he's out in LA what
- 44:34Speaker 1: happens at chip Kelly next? Does he have another NFL
- 44:37Speaker 1: job in him or is he need to go back
- 44:38Speaker 1: to college? What do you think is gonna happen?
- 44:40Speaker 4: I don't think so, you know, I don't think so.
- 44:42Speaker 4: I don't know how you heard the stories about the
- 44:45Speaker 4: Raiders were paying him six million a year, and I'm like,
- 44:48Speaker 4: who else was going to pay him five? Four or three?
- 44:50Speaker 4: You know in the NFL? I just haven't. I just
- 44:53Speaker 4: don't see that, and it doesn't obviously it was a disaster,
- 44:56Speaker 4: but the Raiders. So you know, in coaching it always
- 44:59Speaker 4: comes down to who you know usually, but he seems
- 45:01Speaker 4: like somebody who you know. Maybe it's run its course
- 45:06Speaker 4: in the NFL.
- 45:08Speaker 1: So many jobs open in college. I wonder if he
- 45:10Speaker 1: goes back down that road. I mean, there's so many
- 45:12Speaker 1: big time college jobs open, all those Power five conferences
- 45:15Speaker 1: powerful I guess it is nowadays. As Mike Sandel from
- 45:17Speaker 1: the Athletic joining us, all right, what I met reference
- 45:20Speaker 1: with MJ earlier is your I thought it was really
- 45:22Speaker 1: interesting about Kansas City. Yes, they beat the Colts yesterday,
- 45:26Speaker 1: but we still see some blemishes and Wartz there. And
- 45:29Speaker 1: it starts with the running game, does it not?
- 45:32Speaker 4: Yes, just being able to look. They don't have to
- 45:35Speaker 4: have a Hall of Fame running back on their team,
- 45:37Speaker 4: but I think that it would help them make it
- 45:39Speaker 4: easier for Patrick Mahomes to hit those explosive plays if
- 45:43Speaker 4: people when they played the Chiefs actually were worried about
- 45:45Speaker 4: them running the ball and to do that. It's more
- 45:48Speaker 4: than part of it's having a good back, but part
- 45:50Speaker 4: of it is just having the structure of your offense
- 45:54Speaker 4: set up in a way that the run is convincing.
- 45:57Speaker 4: I think they've just drifted and drifted to the point
- 45:59Speaker 4: that they're probably a little more spread out, and there
- 46:03Speaker 4: are a lot of times from the shotgun now this
- 46:06Speaker 4: this game, there was a little bit more, you know,
- 46:08Speaker 4: under center. But they're running with Kareem Hunt. You know,
- 46:10Speaker 4: they're running with Isaiah Pacheco. I don't think those guys
- 46:14Speaker 4: are getting the attention and really helping out Mahomes enough.
- 46:17Speaker 4: So hey, they may have finish strong anyway, Wherehi Rice
- 46:20Speaker 4: is who is good? Obviously Mahomes is good and you
- 46:22Speaker 4: read's good. But what I wrote was, you know, if
- 46:26Speaker 4: they were to have a bad year or miss the playoffs.
- 46:28Speaker 4: I think it could cause them to do some reflecting
- 46:31Speaker 4: and maybe make some changes for the long term that
- 46:34Speaker 4: you generally don't make when you reach the championship game
- 46:37Speaker 4: or even the Super Bowl. So that's kind of where
- 46:39Speaker 4: I was coming from, and I believe that completely.
- 46:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean and listen, they're not more than likely.
- 46:45Speaker 1: More than likely, they're not going to win the division.
- 46:47Speaker 1: They're three games back of Denver right now, So it
- 46:49Speaker 1: would be a whole different path right for this Broncos
- 46:52Speaker 1: team in Pat male Holmes, if they do make the playoffs,
- 46:54Speaker 1: are going to have to go on the road, and
- 46:56Speaker 1: that's a different deal than playing at Arrowhead in January.
- 46:59Speaker 4: Yep, And they could still do it, but I just
- 47:01Speaker 4: think it's harder for them. So if I were looking
- 47:04Speaker 4: if I were them looking at it objectively, I would say, hey,
- 47:06Speaker 4: how can we get to where you know, we're structured
- 47:10Speaker 4: a little differently?
- 47:12Speaker 1: Well, it's odd because like the dominant team we've kind
- 47:15Speaker 1: of felt like has been Philadelphia for a while right
- 47:18Speaker 1: in the NFC, Kansas City and the ASC a little
- 47:20Speaker 1: bit of a changing of the guard this season. What
- 47:23Speaker 1: were Mike Sandos takeaways for what happened with the Eagles
- 47:25Speaker 1: and the Cowboys yesterday after a twenty one nothing lead
- 47:28Speaker 1: by the Eagles went away.
- 47:30Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Eagles, you know, there's always drama
- 47:33Speaker 4: there and things going on, and offensively it's been much
- 47:36Speaker 4: more of a struggle and their run game is not
- 47:38Speaker 4: what it was. So they have the elite back and
- 47:40Speaker 4: that's not even enough for them. So, you know, can
- 47:45Speaker 4: they get it going? I don't think so. I don't
- 47:48Speaker 4: think that offensively they're going to become what they were.
- 47:52Speaker 4: Some of that's through some injuries on the offensive line.
- 47:55Speaker 4: I think defenses have done a better job of defending them,
- 47:58Speaker 4: and they just don't all seem like they're on the
- 47:59Speaker 4: same page between the quarterback, the coordinator, coach, receivers, all
- 48:04Speaker 4: of that. So still could be dangerous. You know. I
- 48:07Speaker 4: think they've obviously still able to win. Their defense is
- 48:10Speaker 4: very good, so I'm not counting them out at all,
- 48:13Speaker 4: But I think it's a harder road for them now
- 48:18Speaker 4: than it was last year.
- 48:20Speaker 1: What do you think has happened to Saquon in his
- 48:22Speaker 1: numbers two thousand yards. Last year had a chance that
- 48:24Speaker 1: they would have played last games at the record, and
- 48:26Speaker 1: this year it's I mean half of them. It would
- 48:29Speaker 1: be lucky to get to half of that.
- 48:30Speaker 4: Well, there's some history for that. Usually when you have
- 48:33Speaker 4: a really huge year, it comes back quite a bit
- 48:35Speaker 4: the next year, so that that could be common. They
- 48:37Speaker 4: had a really long season. I think that their offensive line,
- 48:42Speaker 4: you know, has had some attrition. Now they're you know,
- 48:48Speaker 4: they're right tackle Lane Johnson's been in and out and injured,
- 48:51Speaker 4: so probably not as good. They've had a guard in
- 48:53Speaker 4: Landon Dickerson who's been banged up. You just sort of
- 48:56Speaker 4: forget that. This is their second year without Jason Kelcey,
- 48:58Speaker 4: who was a great player too, so some of those
- 49:00Speaker 4: things that maybe were super strengths for them in the
- 49:04Speaker 4: past may not be quite the same right now. I
- 49:07Speaker 4: think defenses are adjusting. We're seeing more sophisticated types of
- 49:14Speaker 4: zone coverages that have been a problem for Jalen Hurts anyway.
- 49:18Speaker 4: So I don't think Saquon has probably just completely fallen off.
- 49:23Speaker 4: That would be unusual, right, you know, in one year.
- 49:26Speaker 4: But maybe it's a combination of the attrition up front,
- 49:29Speaker 4: the you know, the miles from last year, and just
- 49:32Speaker 4: teams having a better handle on what they do.
- 49:34Speaker 1: I mentioned the other thing I mentioned to MJ that
- 49:36Speaker 1: I thought was really really interesting read number four in
- 49:40Speaker 1: the pick six. The Falcons have arguably committed organizational malpractice.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Are the Raiders next? We are talking about the Raiders,
- 49:47Speaker 1: but the Falcons, the Panics, the Cousins, the quarterback situation,
- 49:52Speaker 1: drafting these skill players like Bijeon, who's a great arguably
- 49:55Speaker 1: the best running back maybe in the NFL, right kind
- 49:57Speaker 1: of pits and guys like that. But what they've done
- 50:00Speaker 1: along the way, they haven't built the team in a
- 50:02Speaker 1: good sense. And here we are, the Atlanta Falcons are
- 50:05Speaker 1: are four and seven, but you know who's their quarterback?
- 50:09Speaker 1: Is it? I mean, what's going to happen with Penix
- 50:11Speaker 1: and all those things? And it's just a they're kind
- 50:13Speaker 1: of a dumpster fire as well.
- 50:15Speaker 4: They are, yeah, they you know, they them drafting running
- 50:19Speaker 4: backs and tight ends in the first round and not
- 50:21Speaker 4: really having a quarterback, and then like you said, splintering
- 50:23Speaker 4: it with Cousins and Pennix, Penix with his injury history,
- 50:27Speaker 4: and by the way, then they traded their twenty twenty
- 50:29Speaker 4: six first round pick to the Rams just to move
- 50:31Speaker 4: up to get a defensive player who's fine but not
- 50:34Speaker 4: you know, winning games for them necessarily, and so next
- 50:38Speaker 4: year they could be giving a top ten pick to
- 50:41Speaker 4: the Rams that they could use for a building block
- 50:44Speaker 4: long term. So yes, I think that is a textbook
- 50:49Speaker 4: way not to do it. And the way the Raiders
- 50:50Speaker 4: are similar is that they've also taken you know, tight
- 50:53Speaker 4: end in Bowers who is good but still a tight end,
- 50:55Speaker 4: and a running back this past year in the top
- 50:58Speaker 4: five or six, and you know, they went after an
- 51:01Speaker 4: old quarterback and Gino Smith kind of like Kirk Cousins was.
- 51:04Speaker 4: And now they're probably gonna have a top ten pick.
- 51:06Speaker 4: Do they force a quarterback? Do they take their Michael
- 51:09Speaker 4: Penix this next year just because they need one right?
- 51:12Speaker 4: Or do they trade future picks because the urgency is
- 51:15Speaker 4: ramped up and Pete Carroll needs this or that. I
- 51:18Speaker 4: think that will be interesting to watch for them.
- 51:21Speaker 1: Do you believe the Chicago Bears? Do you believe in
- 51:22Speaker 1: the Bears?
- 51:24Speaker 4: No, not as a team it's going to go deep
- 51:26Speaker 4: in the playoffs at all. But I do think that
- 51:29Speaker 4: they are. You know, they have sort of broken the
- 51:34Speaker 4: hecks of being a team that always sort of blows
- 51:37Speaker 4: the game. I think that's been something they've won a
- 51:39Speaker 4: bunch of those close games, and you can't tell me
- 51:41Speaker 4: it's just you know, natural regression and progression and back
- 51:44Speaker 4: and forth, because every game last year was sort of,
- 51:48Speaker 4: you know, a referendum on their inability to finish the games. Right.
- 51:51Speaker 4: They've lost on Hill Mary to Washington. They had a
- 51:53Speaker 4: lot of disasters. So I think this year they've been
- 51:56Speaker 4: better at that. I think the quarterback has been better,
- 52:00Speaker 4: with still some flaws and inconsistency, but I kind of
- 52:04Speaker 4: I think that Ben Jonson's had a positive effect on them,
- 52:07Speaker 4: and I think that that's how you win some of
- 52:08Speaker 4: these games they never could win before. But I do
- 52:12Speaker 4: think that their defense is very turnover reliant that can
- 52:15Speaker 4: dry up against the better teams. They've played a bunch
- 52:17Speaker 4: of bad quarterbacks for the most part. And then Kayle
- 52:19Speaker 4: Williams still holds the ball a lot, which you know
- 52:22Speaker 4: he's done a better job and is produced off of that,
- 52:25Speaker 4: but he still took a sack fumble for a touchdown
- 52:28Speaker 4: yesterday and still does hold it too long. Yeah.
- 52:31Speaker 1: One final one. This is called the shameless self promotion
- 52:33Speaker 1: for ninety three point three FM KJR. Later on tonight,
- 52:36Speaker 1: we've got the Monday Night Football game it's Carolina and
- 52:39Speaker 1: San Francisco. I mean San Fransco holding on the final
- 52:42Speaker 1: playoff spot right now in the NFC Detroit Carolina Dallas
- 52:46Speaker 1: on their heels. Kind of a massive game tonight and
- 52:49Speaker 1: from in terms of playoffs, somehow San Francisco is still around.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Quick thoughts from Mike on Mike Sando on this game tonight.
- 52:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the forty nine ers definitely win the game.
- 52:56Speaker 4: I think they're better and so, you know, pretty remarkably
- 53:00Speaker 4: if they do. I think they're going to be eight
- 53:02Speaker 4: and four.
- 53:02Speaker 1: Yes, they which is a.
- 53:03Speaker 4: Really good record. When you're playing hacker games without your
- 53:06Speaker 4: starting quarterback, you've got, you know, your best two best
- 53:10Speaker 4: players on defense, and Bosa and warrener out for the year.
- 53:13Speaker 4: That's going to catch up to him. It has. Their
- 53:15Speaker 4: defense hasn't been as good. You can't just patch it
- 53:18Speaker 4: the whole time. But I do I do like them
- 53:20Speaker 4: in this game. I think Carolina's uh not, just not
- 53:22Speaker 4: a very good team overall, even though they do have
- 53:24Speaker 4: a decent record.
- 53:26Speaker 1: God, and if they win that, I mean, look at Dallas.
- 53:28Speaker 1: How is Dallas gonna Dalla's going to make a push,
- 53:30Speaker 1: aren't they. Dallas is going to make a push.
- 53:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that coming into the year.
- 53:35Speaker 4: I thought that Dallas could now this before the Micah
- 53:37Speaker 4: Parsons trade. I know their defense would be so bad,
- 53:39Speaker 4: but I thought that. I actually kind of in the
- 53:42Speaker 4: back of my mind thought, Maddy, you refus may have
- 53:44Speaker 4: a better record with Dallas than the Bears have without
- 53:46Speaker 4: him this year. That's not going to happen because the
- 53:48Speaker 4: Bears have won. They're four No, I believe in games
- 53:51Speaker 4: has headed by three or fewer points. Yeah, so that's
- 53:53Speaker 4: probably not going to happen. But the Cowboys are five,
- 53:56Speaker 4: five and one. You know what, though, They're going to
- 53:58Speaker 4: play Kansas City in Detroit the next two weeks. When
- 54:00Speaker 4: I saw them win the game, they go, they show
- 54:03Speaker 4: Jerry Jones in the box and he's celebrating like they
- 54:04Speaker 4: won the Super Bowl. Yeah that's Dallas. I mean, they're
- 54:07Speaker 4: they're up, they're high, they've got it all figured out.
- 54:10Speaker 4: And then they are losing by ten points to Arizona
- 54:12Speaker 4: like they did a couple of weeks too. They're losing
- 54:14Speaker 4: by three points to Carolina like they did a month ago. Yeah,
- 54:16Speaker 4: you know, that's still who they are, so you know
- 54:19Speaker 4: they may get to they what do they got one.
- 54:22Speaker 4: I'm gonna look at do it right now too.
- 54:23Speaker 1: They have six games left.
- 54:24Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just say they win four of them, which
- 54:28Speaker 4: I'm not saying they will maybe three, you know.
- 54:31Speaker 1: They win. If they win four, their nine six and one,
- 54:37Speaker 1: that's on the cusp of playoffs.
- 54:39Speaker 4: Yeah, nine nine seven and one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
- 54:42Speaker 4: think they could be. They could be eight eight and one.
- 54:44Speaker 1: How about that. That would be awesome. That would be perfect.
- 54:48Speaker 1: By the way, that for folks who don't know, that's
- 54:50Speaker 1: the second game for Thursday for Thanksgiving is Chiefs and Cowboys.
- 54:54Speaker 1: That's juicy.
- 54:54Speaker 4: It's gonna be fun.
- 54:55Speaker 1: That's juicy. All this stuff we just talked about, the
- 54:58Speaker 1: Chiefs trying to get to the back to the postseason,
- 55:01Speaker 1: the Cowboys trying to find that is a juicy. It's
- 55:04Speaker 1: almost like a college football playoff elimination game. That's almost
- 55:07Speaker 1: usc Organ in a sense, although Organ's safely in. But like,
- 55:10Speaker 1: that's that's kind of it. That's a juicy, juicy g
- 55:12Speaker 1: I like that.
- 55:13Speaker 4: That's a fun game.
- 55:14Speaker 1: Yeah, plan your dinner around that. You don't need to
- 55:16Speaker 1: worry about the last game. It's Bengals Ravens, so you
- 55:18Speaker 1: can help him I'm saying juicy, juicy. It's juicy, all right,
- 55:25Speaker 1: Mike Sando. I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir. We'll
- 55:27Speaker 1: talk to you next week. Appreciate it. Happy Thanksgiving you
- 55:29Speaker 1: and your family. By the way, uh thanks. That is
- 55:31Speaker 1: Mike Sando joining us on the that's for if you
- 55:35Speaker 1: haven't looked at it. Packers Lions is the first game.
- 55:38Speaker 1: That's the ninth phenomenon. Actually, guy, you know what that's
- 55:40Speaker 1: a ten o'clock game. Yeah, I forget about that. For
- 55:42Speaker 1: some reason, they started that nine thirty ten o'clock. See.
- 55:44Speaker 1: Can you know if you have to watch a little
- 55:45Speaker 1: Macy's or something like that parade, you can do that.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Packers Lions at ten and then Chiefs and Cowboys at
- 55:52Speaker 1: one thirty. That is. Yeah. My mother in law is like, oh,
- 55:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna do dinner. It's to dinner too. No, no, no,
- 56:01Speaker 1: I don't given I I don't either, buddy, I don't eat.

- 56:11Speaker 1: back for a seconds. Yeah no no, no, no, no, no,

- 56:14Speaker 6: I grew up around a lot of the times.
- 56:17Speaker 1: Yeah, or.
- 56:20Speaker 6: The timing of the games is different, a three hour different.
- 56:23Speaker 1: Well that's the difference, yeah, because this would be one
- 56:26Speaker 1: o'clock Packers, Lions for thirty Chiefs and cowboys back east.
- 56:30Speaker 1: Maybe you take your pick, and then the late games
- 56:32Speaker 1: at eight thirty whatever. I'm just telling like, I'm just

- 1:04:14Speaker 1: we only have eight. We have only now after this
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: we only have seven picks left this whole year. Correct
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: because we have no shows on Thursday and Friday. But
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: if you're taking this thing serious, but you're a diehard
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: Husky fan. What do you do here? Do you hedge
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: your bet with the emotions? Do you do the old
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: softy thing where he's gonna always hedge head in the heart,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: or do you just say I've got to go Orgon
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna win by a touchdown or more?
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: What do you do? Ah, that's the problem. There in
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: lies the rob ladies and gentlemen, there in lies the rub.
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: What do you do? I know what I did. I
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: just texted in fact four nine four five one quackers
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: all day, every day, Dan Lanning, I'm gonna finally get
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: it done up here.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: Huh.
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: Let's go, oh boy, Jed Fish saying earlier today, it
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: means a lot to be the organ. Yeah. I know
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: you've been investing in its privately for a long time, Jed.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: Let's let's go. What do you do here? Back? Four
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: nine four five one organ mine of six and a
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: half fiction Washington plus six and a half is your
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: fiction pick. But yeah, that's what you do. What do
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: you do? Andrews? What do you pick? I probably go
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: Oregon minus six and a half. That's both a hedge
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: and a I just think they're gonna win.
- 1:05:37Speaker 6: Yes, yep, Yeah, yep, I agree, I concur ian smiling.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: I just think, thank you. I normally go the other way.
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: I normally just hedge it. But because because we went
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: four to oh last week and had the perfect week,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: and now we're kind of climbing up a little bit
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: and we can. We're probably not going to get to
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: five hundred, but there might be a show or two
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: we can catch before this thing's all said and done.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Otherwise I would have because I do believe Oregon's gonna
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: win by a touchdown. No more, I do believe that.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: I agree, you ain't playing UCLA with some fake ass
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: field goal attempts and Nico chucking it the wrong way
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: and all that, and that ain't gonna happen. Man, it
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen. It should be a hell of a game.

- 1:07:48Speaker 1: Man.
- 1:07:48Speaker 9: Not bad, not bad I'm gonna bet the house on
- 1:07:51Speaker 9: you guys this weekend.
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: You said that like the last four weeks. That's not true.
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: What's the spreading that one?
- 1:07:57Speaker 9: Oh, I've said I'm betting the house on this game
- 1:08:00Speaker 9: against Oregon State or the every other game.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: No, you said it on every other game.
- 1:08:05Speaker 9: No, No, I haven't touched Wazoo since the Virginal.
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Okay, okay, here we go. So it's what's the line? Okay,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: what would make you comfortable? Give me a number that
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: would make you comfortable to bet the house given five
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: and a half, four and a half, six and a half,
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: maybe minus thirteen and a half. Okay, you may not
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: at the house. Maybe I'll just bet the garage. This
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: is what I was like, Is he gonna say fourteen?
- 1:08:30Speaker 9: Because I think backyard, this is what happens when your
- 1:08:33Speaker 9: sons of bitches kicked the game in Corvalis. Everyone thinks
- 1:08:36Speaker 9: you're gonna murder them in the game and pullman.
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: So now I don't know if we're capable of murdering anybody,
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: not with that offense and that offensive line, but the
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: defense should be better playing there.
- 1:08:47Speaker 9: I'm surprised a little bit by that line. I'm also surprised.
- 1:08:50Speaker 9: Done by the bit by the Husky line on Saturday.
- 1:08:53Speaker 9: It's only six and a half right now. I thought
- 1:08:55Speaker 9: that line would be maybe a little bit bigger way
- 1:08:57Speaker 9: by the Way eight or the nines or Oregon six
- 1:09:00Speaker 9: and a half, fact four nine four five one of that.
- 1:09:02Speaker 9: I saw that. Well, you know what I do. It's
- 1:09:04Speaker 9: the emotional hatch. I just said that, play the Ducks,
- 1:09:07Speaker 9: play the coups, and if they end up covering, great.
- 1:09:09Speaker 9: If they don't, then you know, I'm walking away with
- 1:09:11Speaker 9: a win in my back pocket.
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: What's your what's your level of stress for this game?
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: Not much? Not much? No, no, not much, really not much.
- 1:09:19Speaker 9: I mean if we had beaten Wisconsin, it'd be a
- 1:09:21Speaker 9: lot bigger if Washington had a shot.
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: Because it would be a shot to the playoff.
- 1:09:25Speaker 9: Yeah, and they were playing for that because like think
- 1:09:27Speaker 9: about where they would be, right they would have been.
- 1:09:30Speaker 9: They were twenty third, twenty fourth in the CFP the
- 1:09:33Speaker 9: week before the Wisconsin game. So they keep winning, which
- 1:09:38Speaker 9: they've done perdue U see all.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Way week, you're eight and three right now, you would
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: have been nine.
- 1:09:42Speaker 9: They would have been nine and two, and they might
- 1:09:44Speaker 9: be in the top fifteen or so. In the country
- 1:09:47Speaker 9: right now outside shot you begin the college football playoff.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Michigan's was fifteenth last week at nine and two, so
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: you'd probably be right around sixteen seventeen, right right around.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: But a win over a team that's Donember five, of course.
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: No, I'm saying they'd be nine and two going into
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: the game.
- 1:10:04Speaker 9: I'm saying beat sixteenth or seventeen right because right now,
- 1:10:08Speaker 9: because Michigan's not into you would be ready. They beat Oregon,
- 1:10:11Speaker 9: they might jump the Wolverines even though they beat the Wolverines,
- 1:10:14Speaker 9: because you know, who does Michigan.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Play this weekend? Some team, some little team. I thinking
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: they had Michigan State for some reason. That's dumb. They
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: got Ohio State. So yeah, so know they would not
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: jump Michigan. Is your guy Tosh Lapois going to be
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: distracted this week getting the Cal job to some points?
