- 1:54Speaker 9: Like yeah, actually, because when I lived in California, my
- 1:56Speaker 9: friend had my friend's parents had a house out there,
- 1:58Speaker 9: so we would go there all the time.
- 2:00Speaker 3: It's it kind of feels like an Ashley place. He
- 2:02Speaker 3: was like, Bucky's going to an Ashley.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Place, And I support that. I love that for you.
- 2:07Speaker 7: Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

- 2:10Speaker 2: your suitcase.
- 2:10Speaker 7: Come on, let's go, let's go. We're leaving at nine.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Or I just like, get like a piggyback.
- 2:15Speaker 7: Yeah, we can try that.
- 2:17Speaker 5: That probably is hard to get a backpack, but we
- 2:20Speaker 5: could give her a shot.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Carry on just to carry on herself. Yeah, put a
- 2:24Speaker 3: handle on her yeah, carry on. It has legs.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it walks itself. Put a tag with your address.
- 2:31Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, and then you're done.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Good to go, and I'll lay in the overhead bin.
- 2:35Speaker 7: Shush up, carry on, carry.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Oh, that will be the problem. I probably won't be quiet.
- 2:41Speaker 3: He's not gonna fit again beneath your seat. And why
- 2:43Speaker 3: does your carry on keep ordering drinks?
- 2:45Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the other thing I was gonna say. And
- 2:47Speaker 2: this carry on will.
- 2:48Speaker 7: Drink yeah, uh, never mind. Imitation revoked.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, it was worth a shot.
- 2:54Speaker 5: I don't know if you'd want to go. This is
- 2:56Speaker 5: it could be mayhem. This is a buddy, my buddy Benny.
- 2:59Speaker 5: He's he a p one. He's probably listening right now.
- 3:01Speaker 5: It's his fiftieth birthday party. And there's like fifteen or
- 3:07Speaker 5: twenty of us going down there. One house you're in
- 3:11Speaker 5: a gold right.
- 3:13Speaker 2: One house for that must be a mansion.
- 3:15Speaker 7: It's not a tiny place, so you're gonna.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Have to send a picture of it.
- 3:18Speaker 5: It's pretty nice. And yes, we're going to golf, a
- 3:21Speaker 5: couple of days of golf. They're golf in three days.
- 3:22Speaker 5: I'm coming back Saturday. I'm missing one day of the festivities,
- 3:25Speaker 5: but I figured after two days my check liver light
- 3:28Speaker 5: will be blinking, my body will be sore from golf
- 3:32Speaker 5: and not recuperating afterwards, the opposite of recuperating afterwards.

- 4:38Speaker 2: Got to coats to work yesterday. Meanwhile, Bucky wears shorts.
- 4:41Speaker 10: Shorts.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Based on that description of Bucky's outfit for the weekend,
- 4:46Speaker 3: I'll say it again, Happy birthday, Benny.
- 4:49Speaker 7: Happy, you are welcome.
- 4:51Speaker 2: We're sending Bucky he's your present.
- 4:54Speaker 3: All right, Well, Ashley and I will stick it out
- 4:57Speaker 3: for all four hours. We don't have some exotic trip
- 5:00Speaker 3: planned afterwards, and so we'll take it till ten o'clock today.
- 5:04Speaker 3: And it is a hump day, and this is usually
- 5:06Speaker 3: when we start sinking our teeth into the seahawks next opponent.
- 5:09Speaker 3: We certainly have touched upon the Atlanta Falcons so far
- 5:12Speaker 3: this week, but today we start to really crystallize our
- 5:17Speaker 3: thoughts on this matchup. I don't even know what we
- 5:19Speaker 3: did this. We did we even play this past weekend.
- 5:21Speaker 3: We didn't shut anybody out, did we?
- 5:23Speaker 7: I think we did? Yeah?
- 5:25Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we mostly shut out. That doesn't happen in
- 5:28Speaker 3: the NFL very often.
- 5:29Speaker 7: Usually we must have a pretty decent defense.
- 5:31Speaker 3: I would damn I've already moved on from it. Otherwise
- 5:34Speaker 3: maybe I would have known that. But the Hawks getting
- 5:36Speaker 3: ready to take on the Atlanta Falcons, and we did
- 5:39Speaker 3: mention this yesterday. It is the last of the games
- 5:42Speaker 3: that you absolutely should win, even though it's on the
- 5:47Speaker 3: road and without a problem. And then things, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 3: the rest of the way get a little tougher. Certainly
- 5:52Speaker 3: certainly get tougher, and maybe you would even argue tough
- 5:56Speaker 3: down the stretch for the Hawks, and so take advantage
- 5:59Speaker 3: of this. You don't want to slip up here. I mean,
- 6:03Speaker 3: not only the Atlanta Falcons look bad in the standings
- 6:08Speaker 3: with their now what four and nine record that they
- 6:11Speaker 3: have this year, but they also are playing their worst
- 6:15Speaker 3: football right now, and it almost feels like they're absolutely
- 6:18Speaker 3: just playing out the string.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I mean, they lost to the Jets last week.
- 6:21Speaker 3: They've lost six out of seven since beating the Buffalo Bills,
- 6:24Speaker 3: and people were wondering if Michael Pennix and the Falcons
- 6:27Speaker 3: were getting ready to take their next step, if finally,
- 6:30Speaker 3: if it was coming together for a team that a
- 6:32Speaker 3: lot of people, especially fantasy football players, have been thinking
- 6:36Speaker 3: should be better than what they've been the last couple
- 6:39Speaker 3: of years, and instead they started playing poorly. Then Michael
- 6:43Speaker 3: Pennix Junior gets injured. He is out for the season.
- 6:47Speaker 3: Kirk Cousin steps in, and they have been as bad
- 6:50Speaker 3: as any team in the National Football League. And I
- 6:52Speaker 3: mean that they have been as bad as any team
- 6:54Speaker 3: out there here in the last two three weeks of
- 6:58Speaker 3: the NFL regular season. And so this is one that
- 7:01Speaker 3: the Seahawks just it's just put it under the you
- 7:04Speaker 3: gotta take care.
- 7:04Speaker 5: Of business here category. Yeah, there's no other way to
- 7:08Speaker 5: put it. I mean, if you don't find a way,
- 7:10Speaker 5: even though it's on the road. Now, the nice thing
- 7:13Speaker 5: is that the Seahawks have played well on the road
- 7:15Speaker 5: under Mike McDonald, So I'm going to put that as
- 7:17Speaker 5: kind of a moot point. But if you can't go
- 7:19Speaker 5: on the road and beat a team that is significantly
- 7:21Speaker 5: less then and playing for significantly less than you are, yeah,
- 7:25Speaker 5: then it would bring up a bunch of questions. Anything
- 7:28Speaker 5: can happen any given Sunday. There's a reason everybody says that,
- 7:30Speaker 5: and there's some truth to it. You don't you can't
- 7:33Speaker 5: go out there and think that there's got to be
- 7:35Speaker 5: some guys that on the other side that are going
- 7:37Speaker 5: to be playing like their career depends on it. But
- 7:40Speaker 5: at the same time, when you're in the middle of
- 7:42Speaker 5: a season, you'd get smacked in the mouth. It gets
- 7:45Speaker 5: tougher and tougher to get up when there's nothing really
- 7:48Speaker 5: to get up for other than just to play out
- 7:50Speaker 5: the rest of that game, and then you hope to
- 7:52Speaker 5: recoup and get off to a good start the next game.
- 7:55Speaker 5: So to me, it's start off the way that we've
- 7:57Speaker 5: seen the Seahawks do it with stifling defense and the
- 7:59Speaker 5: offense's going out there and putting up some points. And
- 8:02Speaker 5: I have a feeling this team if they not roll
- 8:05Speaker 5: over necessarily, But I think you could impose your will
- 8:07Speaker 5: and make a statement well, and I.
- 8:09Speaker 9: Think too you if you look at what was two
- 8:13Speaker 9: weeks ago with the Titans, I think that they would
- 8:16Speaker 9: say that second half wasn't great. And I don't think
- 8:19Speaker 9: that we'd see that again because I think obviously the
- 8:21Speaker 9: Atlanta is a better team than the Titans are. I
- 8:23Speaker 9: would assume that they're I'm not sure that they might
- 8:24Speaker 9: not be anymore. But you still you can't you let
- 8:27Speaker 9: your foot off the gas. You can't do what you
- 8:29Speaker 9: did against the Titans again. And I hope that they
- 8:31Speaker 9: learned their lesson. I think they did well.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I mean, it's a completely opposite quarterback matchup. You went
- 8:37Speaker 3: from Max Brosmer making his first professional start ever to
- 8:41Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, who's made a million of them. And yet
- 8:44Speaker 3: I'm not sure this isn't an even more advantageous matchup
- 8:48Speaker 3: for Mike McDonald's defense.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I don't remember.
- 8:51Speaker 3: And Kirk Cousins has had a heck of a career
- 8:54Speaker 3: and he seems like a heck of a guy, and
- 8:56Speaker 3: he has gotten by with his you know, by being
- 8:59Speaker 3: said sly and coy and you know, and he's overcome
- 9:03Speaker 3: the odds. I think Hugh Millon said at numerous times
- 9:06Speaker 3: he's probably the least physically gifted quarterback in the National
- 9:09Speaker 3: Football League. And yet look at the career, look at
- 9:11Speaker 3: the touchdown passes he's thrown, look at the yardage that
- 9:14Speaker 3: he's racked up. But it is I can't remember the
- 9:17Speaker 3: last time. I guess you got to go back to
- 9:19Speaker 3: before he was a Falcon that he didn't look shaky
- 9:23Speaker 3: on a football field. And I mean, like I'm not
- 9:25Speaker 3: talking about for a game. I'm talking about like every
- 9:27Speaker 3: single pass like he has looked like he is he's
- 9:32Speaker 3: just not reading things the way that he once did.
- 9:35Speaker 3: And maybe that is that he just you know, they
- 9:39Speaker 3: say that, like Eddie George, for example, was a phenomenal
- 9:42Speaker 3: running back, but they always said about him, he doesn't
- 9:44Speaker 3: have a step to lose, And when he lost his step,
- 9:48Speaker 3: he was done. He went from MVP candidate to he
- 9:53Speaker 3: can't play anymore as soon as he.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Lost that step.
- 9:56Speaker 3: And I'm and I kind of think that's what happened
- 9:58Speaker 3: with Kirk Cousins. When he got to Atlanta, he was
- 10:01Speaker 3: coming off that injury, he missed an entire season. They
- 10:04Speaker 3: obviously put him in the starting lineup despite taking Michael
- 10:07Speaker 3: Pennix Junior in the first round of the draft, and
- 10:09Speaker 3: he looked like he had never played football before for
- 10:12Speaker 3: practically an entire season. And so I don't know if
- 10:16Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins really has it anymore. He can't he's not mobile.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Whatever arm strength he had that allowed him to be
- 10:23Speaker 3: successful in the National Football League, I think he's lost
- 10:26Speaker 3: a step. So even though he's got gile and moxie
- 10:30Speaker 3: and knowledge and know how and that certainly is a
- 10:33Speaker 3: weapon at the quarterback position in the National Football League,
- 10:36Speaker 3: the way Mike McDonald's defense has been just terrorizing fools
- 10:40Speaker 3: here as of late, I'm not sure Kirk Cousins fares
- 10:43Speaker 3: any better than Max.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Brozmer this weekend, I wouldn't be surprised.
- 10:48Speaker 11: You're right.
- 10:48Speaker 5: I think that there's negatives on both sides of it. Inexperience,
- 10:52Speaker 5: our zero experience or so much experience that you maybe
- 10:55Speaker 5: have hit that ball. And you're right, before that injury,
- 10:59Speaker 5: before he went into it, he was doing some pretty
- 11:02Speaker 5: good stuff. He was kind of jumping around right Washington.
- 11:05Speaker 5: In Minnesota, he was he was the guy that jumped
- 11:07Speaker 5: around a bunch, but kind of was You would look
- 11:10Speaker 5: up at the end of the year and like, it's
- 11:11Speaker 5: having a pretty good year. Now that hasn't been the
- 11:13Speaker 5: case since he's been in Atlanta and obviously lost his
- 11:16Speaker 5: job to Michael Pennix. I mean, I just there's still
- 11:21Speaker 5: this something in the brain that makes me think you
- 11:24Speaker 5: don't sleep on it. Because they got a good running
- 11:26Speaker 5: back in Bejon Robinson, Drake London is possibly going to
- 11:30Speaker 5: be back this weekend.
- 11:31Speaker 7: They got Kyle Pitts. Now, I can on the.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Other side of the argument, I can say, well, you know,
- 11:36Speaker 5: Drake London is not justin Jefferson and look what he
- 11:39Speaker 5: did last week against this defense, or you know, I mean,
- 11:42Speaker 5: I could sit there and say, you know, TJ. Hawkinson
- 11:44Speaker 5: could be just as good as Kyle Pitts, if not better,
- 11:47Speaker 5: So maybe that he'll be a non.
- 11:48Speaker 7: Issue as well.
- 11:49Speaker 5: It just would be one where you you know, I'm
- 11:51Speaker 5: sure Mike McDonald's saying, we got to go out and
- 11:53Speaker 5: still take care of business. If you take care of
- 11:55Speaker 5: business and get Kirk Cousins rattled a little bit, I
- 11:58Speaker 5: do think that unlike a lot lot of veteran quarterbacks,
- 12:01Speaker 5: he is very He's very susceptible to be rattled if
- 12:04Speaker 5: things start to go awry.
- 12:05Speaker 3: And I know there are a lot of Husky fans
- 12:07Speaker 3: that obviously are Seahawk fans that on one hand kind
- 12:11Speaker 3: of glad that we're not facing Michael Pennix Junior and
- 12:14Speaker 3: on the other hand, disappointed because that means Michael's hurt
- 12:18Speaker 3: and maybe his career has hit a little bit of a.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Speed bump here going forward.
- 12:25Speaker 3: We've talked about this before, it seems like a good
- 12:28Speaker 3: time to talk about it again. I think they just
- 12:30Speaker 3: really did this young man of disservice in the National
- 12:33Speaker 3: Football League. He's shown flashes of oh wow, that looks special,
- 12:38Speaker 3: just as you know, just as we thought that he would,
- 12:40Speaker 3: but he's not been as consistent. And you brought this
- 12:43Speaker 3: up a couple of weeks ago, those stories that were
- 12:46Speaker 3: leaking out about he was asked like, who do you
- 12:49Speaker 3: turn to when you're struggling offensively, goes no one.
- 12:52Speaker 2: There isn't anybody.
- 12:54Speaker 3: I mean, how do you not have a quarterback coach,
- 12:56Speaker 3: offensive coordinator that's not in the ear of Michael Pennick junior,
- 13:00Speaker 3: first full year, starting season in the National Football League
- 13:04Speaker 3: every single time he comes off the field, and he's
- 13:07Speaker 3: stating publicly, Raheem Morris didn't hire a guy like that here.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I mean, how does that happen.
- 13:13Speaker 3: In the year twenty twenty five in the National Football League. Now,
- 13:17Speaker 3: maybe he's exaggerating that. Maybe Raheem Morris would have a
- 13:21Speaker 3: different story to tell. Maybe Michael Pennocks Junior, because I
- 13:25Speaker 3: know they have an offensive coordinator and I know they
- 13:27Speaker 3: have a quarterbacks coach there, maybe they would. Maybe they
- 13:31Speaker 3: were offended, maybe they're angry to this day that Michael
- 13:33Speaker 3: Pennocks Junior dared say that because they're constantly in his ear.
- 13:38Speaker 3: But for a starting quarterback to make that statement seem
- 13:42Speaker 3: just illogical, and a lot of people had their difficulty
- 13:45Speaker 3: wrapping their head around it. I don't think Raheem Morris
- 13:48Speaker 3: is going to make it through this season. And I
- 13:51Speaker 3: think it's just malpracticed that the Atlanta Falcons, who have
- 13:55Speaker 3: invested so much money and so much draft capital in
- 13:59Speaker 3: skill position apparently super talents like top ten picks for
- 14:04Speaker 3: a wide receiver and a running back and a quarterback,
- 14:07Speaker 3: and don't have an offensive guru on hand that is
- 14:13Speaker 3: maximizing the abilities. It's as if, no, we're gonna go,
- 14:18Speaker 3: we'll score because of all that draft talent we drafted,
- 14:21Speaker 3: and then let's make sure we stop people on defense.
- 14:23Speaker 2: That's the focus of our No, no, no, no.
- 14:26Speaker 3: You have to maximize what you invested in, and I
- 14:29Speaker 3: don't think the Atlanta Falcons have done. Not only have
- 14:32Speaker 3: they not done a good job, they have done as
- 14:33Speaker 3: piss pour a job of it as you could even fathom.
- 14:37Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the idea of making all the draft
- 14:41Speaker 5: picks that they did, Kyle Pitts's was up there as
- 14:44Speaker 5: far as draft picks goes. You've spent a lot of
- 14:47Speaker 5: your draft capital and acquiring talent on the offensive side,
- 14:51Speaker 5: and then you basically give the chef that is supposed
- 14:55Speaker 5: to cook with those ingredients. You pick a chef that
- 14:57Speaker 5: doesn't that's not the meals that he cooks. Yeah, he
- 15:00Speaker 5: doesn't make a whole lot of more.
- 15:01Speaker 3: We have drafted you a lot of steak here, Rahim, Oh,
- 15:05Speaker 3: I forgot to tell you.
- 15:06Speaker 2: I only make fried chickens.
- 15:08Speaker 7: I'm a vegan.
- 15:08Speaker 11: Yah.
- 15:09Speaker 5: Yeah, what's that steak? Just put that off to the side, don't.
- 15:12Speaker 5: It'll cook itself. I think that there's something to that.
- 15:17Speaker 5: I will also say that there's something to you. You
- 15:21Speaker 5: have got to be able to be coached by everyone
- 15:24Speaker 5: that you come across, and that doesn't that's not just coaches,
- 15:27Speaker 5: that's your teammates, that's people that were there before, that's
- 15:30Speaker 5: the alumni that you walk past in the rooms.
- 15:34Speaker 7: You got to be able to absorb it.
- 15:35Speaker 8: Now.
- 15:35Speaker 5: I think that Michael Pennix was able to do that
- 15:38Speaker 5: and is able to do that. We watched him basically
- 15:41Speaker 5: move from Indiana to here to you know, and then
- 15:44Speaker 5: onto the NFL, and he obviously was able to pick
- 15:47Speaker 5: up new stuff from new coaches once he got here.
- 15:49Speaker 5: We witnessed that. So I don't think that he's uncoachable
- 15:52Speaker 5: mating stretch. I would say that, yes, there's some to that.
- 15:54Speaker 5: And there's also some to he's you know, his first
- 15:57Speaker 5: full season, he was maybe making some mistakes that you know,
- 16:00Speaker 5: other rookie quarterbacks would make as well, and then unfortunately
- 16:04Speaker 5: got hurt to where now you're not getting to see
- 16:06Speaker 5: what it would look like for him to go through
- 16:08Speaker 5: the growth and figure out from the coaches and just
- 16:11Speaker 5: what he would do on his own as far as
- 16:13Speaker 5: what type of adjustments he would make to his own game.
- 16:15Speaker 9: I would just picture though, Yeah, every time he comes
- 16:17Speaker 9: off the field, like what you're saying, there's somebody that's
- 16:19Speaker 9: sitting with him on the bench looking at their little
- 16:21Speaker 9: Microsoft surface figuring out whether it was good or bad
- 16:24Speaker 9: that drive, looking through Okay.
- 16:26Speaker 2: This is what you did, Well, this is what you didn't.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Oh look, did you see this? Did you see that?
- 16:30Speaker 9: Just because that's you know, everything moves so quickly, So
- 16:34Speaker 9: help him to expand on everything because that you, as
- 16:39Speaker 9: you said, you've invested so much.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I don't know why they wouldn't do that. And maybe
- 16:42Speaker 2: it's a shot at kirk Cousins, going back to the maybe.
- 16:44Speaker 3: I mean, kirk Cousin's been described as like the greatest
- 16:47Speaker 3: teammate and the greatest dude in the National Football League
- 16:49Speaker 3: the last few years. But there's no doubt he was hurt. Yeah,
- 16:52Speaker 3: I mean, his wife has admitted as much in a
- 16:54Speaker 3: reality television show that he was hurt that he.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Signed this free agent deal with Atlanta and they went.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Immediately out and drafted a quarterback in the first ten
- 17:04Speaker 3: picks of the first NFL draft where he was on campus. Yeah,
- 17:08Speaker 3: and so maybe Kirk Cousins hasn't been a good backup
- 17:11Speaker 3: to Michael Pennick's junior.
- 17:13Speaker 2: As well, but it has been.
- 17:15Speaker 3: It is, it is. It has been a rudderless ship,
- 17:18Speaker 3: and that ship has crashed on the shores for the
- 17:20Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons. And they don't even have a first round
- 17:23Speaker 3: draft pick this year. It goes to the Rams for
- 17:25Speaker 3: goodness sake, Thanks a lot, Falcons. Yeah, but you did so.
- 17:28Speaker 3: It's it's kind of a mess. I mean, a couple
- 17:30Speaker 3: of weeks ago even gave a rise to the thought that,
- 17:33Speaker 3: you know, the way Clint Kubiak and the Seahawks offense
- 17:35Speaker 3: was humming, like is that a marriage? This offseason, do
- 17:38Speaker 3: the Falcons see that. I think They're definitely going to
- 17:41Speaker 3: get rid of Morris after this year. I think they're
- 17:42Speaker 3: definitely going to get an offensive guy to come in
- 17:45Speaker 3: there next year. So is rahem, excuse me, is Clint
- 17:49Speaker 3: Kubiak somebody that would be on the radar of the
- 17:52Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons as their next head coach. Then again, Clint
- 17:57Speaker 3: Kubiak the last three weeks and the offense hasn't been
- 18:01Speaker 3: as good a here in Seattle, and that's something that
- 18:04Speaker 3: happened to him in New Orleans a year ago as well.
- 18:07Speaker 3: So there's something to read into there also. But we'll
- 18:12Speaker 3: talk about that topic as the week progresses. But the
- 18:15Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons the matchup and certainly a game that we
- 18:19Speaker 3: need to put a w behind this one and then
- 18:23Speaker 3: get ready for that stretch drive against some quality competition
- 18:26Speaker 3: to see just how high up the rankings the team
- 18:29Speaker 3: can get. All Right, speaking of that, let's go ahead
- 18:32Speaker 3: and find out what is on tap for today's show.
- 18:36Speaker 2: What's on to?
- 18:39Speaker 12: What's on to? All Right?
- 18:40Speaker 3: Seahawks head Atlanta Sunday at ten. Greg bel joins US
- 18:43Speaker 3: at seven o five this morning to discuss the matchup.
- 18:46Speaker 3: On a hump day, Thursday night football will start the
- 18:48Speaker 3: brand new week in the National Football League, and from
- 18:51Speaker 3: fantasy perspective, a very huge week for most people. This
- 18:55Speaker 3: is the last week of the regular season. Dallas at
- 18:58Speaker 3: Detroit tomorrow night is a fun Thursday night matchup. We'll
- 19:02Speaker 3: play some Factor fiction today seven thirty five. I was
- 19:05Speaker 3: going to say it was Ashley's last pick, but that's
- 19:07Speaker 3: not true with Bucky's flying.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Away to the Benny Birthday Bash. So it was Bucky's
- 19:12Speaker 2: last pick.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that was Bucky's last pick yesterday, So Ashley I
- 19:16Speaker 3: have a couple more she'll pick today at seven thirty five.
- 19:19Speaker 3: It's college football conference championship week. The championship games will
- 19:24Speaker 3: happen on Friday and Saturday. The big ones will all
- 19:27Speaker 3: happen on Saturday, so we'll certainly spend some time previewing that.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Cam Cleveland's going to join us today at eight o'clock
- 19:35Speaker 3: to recap the huskies regular season as it is now
- 19:39Speaker 3: cemented with an eight and four record. College football playoff
- 19:42Speaker 3: rankings came out last night, the penultimate college football playoff rankings.
- 19:47Speaker 3: Obviously some interesting stuff to pour over there, which we'll
- 19:50Speaker 3: do coming up at six thirty. It is National signing
- 19:53Speaker 3: Day in college football, so time to bring in the
- 19:56Speaker 3: dog man guys or guy in this case, Scott Eckland
- 20:00Speaker 3: will join US today at nine o'clock, we'll talk about
- 20:03Speaker 3: what you Dub has done in their recruiting off season
- 20:07Speaker 3: and what might still get done today on National Signing Day.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Kalani Sataki has told Penn State, I'm staying at BYU
- 20:16Speaker 3: so it can happen. You can like where you are
- 20:21Speaker 3: and then coach your team that you can poured so
- 20:24Speaker 3: much into all the way to the end of the season.
- 20:27Speaker 2: It's possible. I guess it's possible. You're just saying it's possible.
- 20:32Speaker 3: College basketball, you Dub host UCLA tonight at eight o'clock.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Kraken and the Oilers will play tomorrow. Al Kiniski joins
- 20:39Speaker 3: US at nine to thirty this morning. And the Winter
- 20:41Speaker 3: Meetings are just four days away, and yes, we will
- 20:43Speaker 3: spend a little bit of time kind of fantasizing about
- 20:46Speaker 3: who we could trade for during Winter Meetings week. But
- 20:50Speaker 3: coming up next on the show, we'll talk about the
- 20:52Speaker 3: latest from the college football playoff rankings selection.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Sunday is coming up.
- 20:57Speaker 3: It's Chuck Inbox Sports Radio ninety three point three k RM.
- 21:02Speaker 12: Come third and fourteen. He's got time.
- 21:05Speaker 3: He does Chuck it down. Jones get from behind.
- 21:10Speaker 13: Does Lawrence Darts has another turnover what comes on top
- 21:14Speaker 13: of it. So Marcus Lawrence Tank in his twelfth.
- 21:20Speaker 3: Year hi As Seahawks coming off a twenty six. Nothing
- 21:26Speaker 3: went over the Minnesota Vikings. But it is a humpday,
- 21:29Speaker 3: and so we put that in our rear view mirror.
- 21:32Speaker 3: It's all about the next opponent, the Atlanta Falcons, a
- 21:35Speaker 3: Sunday at ten o'clock in Atlanta, Georgia. Greg Bell's going
- 21:38Speaker 3: to join us here in about a minute and a
- 21:39Speaker 3: half to discuss all things Seahawks.
- 21:42Speaker 2: We do it most every day.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Right here on Chuck It Back in the Morning Sports
- 21:45Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Good Wednesday morning to you.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Let me hit your frost brewed cores, light headlines. Choose
- 21:54Speaker 3: chill man, just choose chill. Thursday Night Football, we'll get
- 21:57Speaker 3: the brand new week of the NFL started, and for
- 22:00Speaker 3: many people out there, the final week of the regular
- 22:03Speaker 3: season and their fantasy leagues as well, which I think
- 22:06Speaker 3: is noteworthy heading into this week. It'll be Dallas at Detroit.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Should be a fun Thursday night matchup to get us started.
- 22:13Speaker 3: College football Conference Championship week. There will be conference championship
- 22:18Speaker 3: games held on Friday night, but all the big boys
- 22:20Speaker 3: are playing on Saturday, and then on Selection Sunday, we
- 22:25Speaker 3: will finally know the twelve team field that will play
- 22:27Speaker 3: on the second ever true college football playoff tournament in
- 22:31Speaker 3: the history of the world. College Football Playoff rankings came
- 22:34Speaker 3: out last night, the penultimate rankings. The most interesting thing
- 22:38Speaker 3: that occurred was probably Alabama jumping Notre Dame to the
- 22:42Speaker 3: ninth spot Notre Dame at the ten spot, and so
- 22:47Speaker 3: that puts Notre Dame firmly on alert. They are on
- 22:50Speaker 3: the bubble, there's no question about that. The college basketball
- 22:54Speaker 3: season continues for the Fighting Sprinkles here in Seattle. UB
- 22:57Speaker 3: will host UCLA, finally a nice Big ten college basketball
- 23:02Speaker 3: rivalry that reminds us of a rivalry. It'll be the
- 23:06Speaker 3: Bruins and the Dogs tonight at eight o'clock. Cracking and
- 23:09Speaker 3: Oilers will play Tomorrow. Al Kiniski will join us on
- 23:11Speaker 3: the show at nine point thirty to discuss that. And
- 23:14Speaker 3: we are four days away from another holiday. The Winter
- 23:17Speaker 3: Meetings start on Sunday, and so get your decorations out
- 23:22Speaker 3: and ready. But joining us now on the program our
- 23:25Speaker 3: Seahawks Insider REGNL.
- 23:29Speaker 2: With the bell tolls.
- 23:30Speaker 4: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
- 23:33Speaker 4: News with Greg Bell, brought to you by Copola Diamond
- 23:36Speaker 4: Collection Prosecco Chris Sparkling with bright fruit flavors to make
- 23:41Speaker 4: every toast shine Game Day Bubbles only with Copola Diamond Prosecco.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Now with twelfth Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck
- 23:50Speaker 4: and Bike.
- 23:51Speaker 3: All right, well it's humpday and now we really can
- 23:55Speaker 3: put these Atlanta Falcons in our crosshairsday here today. It's
- 23:59Speaker 3: a struggling team right now, you might even argue a
- 24:01Speaker 3: struggling franchise. They do not have their starting quarterback healthy.
- 24:06Speaker 3: So the Seahawks once again we'll get to face a
- 24:08Speaker 3: backup quarterback. But this one's a lot different than last week.
- 24:12Speaker 3: It's Kirk Cousins, who's about one hundred years older than
- 24:15Speaker 3: Max Brosmer, getting the start for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
- 24:19Speaker 3: And yet, Greg, when I watch Kirk Cousins, I think, man,
- 24:23Speaker 3: are you in trouble? His lack of mobility facing Mike
- 24:27Speaker 3: McDonald's defense, a defense that Kirk Cousins probably hasn't seen before.
- 24:32Speaker 3: I'm not sure we're going to see much different results
- 24:35Speaker 3: than what we saw last week against Max Brosmer tell
- 24:38Speaker 3: me I'm right or wrong about that.
- 24:40Speaker 8: Well, I'm not sure about that because the one thing
- 24:43Speaker 8: that the Falcons and Kirk Cousins have without Michael Pennix
- 24:46Speaker 8: out for the season injured, they have Bejhon Robinson. And
- 24:50Speaker 8: he's a thousand yard rusher. He's nine hundred and ninety
- 24:52Speaker 8: five yard. He's a top five NFL rusher. In fact,
- 24:55Speaker 8: the Seahawks are going to face two top five NFL
- 24:58Speaker 8: rushers the next two weeks. Jonathan Taylor and the Colts
- 25:00Speaker 8: come in here next week. Taylor push number one in
- 25:03Speaker 8: the NFL and rushing, but Bjon Robinson is what makes
- 25:07Speaker 8: this a different challenge for the Seahawks. They're running game,
- 25:11Speaker 8: and the ability to run means that the entire game
- 25:14Speaker 8: won't be on Cousins in the quarterback like it was
- 25:16Speaker 8: for Brosmer and the Vikings, because the Vikings didn't I
- 25:21Speaker 8: haven't run all year and didn't even barely try to
- 25:23Speaker 8: run against the Seahawks. The Seahawks rushing totals and high
- 25:29Speaker 8: ranking and rush defenses large because teams don't do it.
- 25:32Speaker 8: The Seahawks have played from the front while winning six
- 25:35Speaker 8: of the last seven games. So teams have abandoned the
- 25:37Speaker 8: run early in games, and when they have run, they
- 25:39Speaker 8: haven't been able to do much of it, and so
- 25:41Speaker 8: there aren't a lot of rush attempts against Seattle. That's
- 25:44Speaker 8: going to change Sunday, and he rushed twenty four times
- 25:47Speaker 8: against the Jets.
- 25:48Speaker 11: Another one hundred and forty two yard day.
- 25:51Speaker 8: They lost at the end.
- 25:52Speaker 11: I mean they were winning that game and they gave.
- 25:54Speaker 8: Up to the Jets in the Meadowlands on Sunday, they
- 25:57Speaker 8: give up ten points in the last one point fifty three.
- 26:00Speaker 11: That game away. They lost by one against.
- 26:03Speaker 8: New England when they missed an extra point. They end
- 26:05Speaker 8: up cutting their kicker.
- 26:06Speaker 11: About that. They've cut two kickers by the way.
- 26:08Speaker 8: They cut Coup after Week one when he missed a
- 26:11Speaker 8: field goal late in the game, and then they cut
- 26:14Speaker 8: his replacement when he missed the pat against the Patriots,
- 26:19Speaker 8: the ten and two Patriots. So they're un their third
- 26:21Speaker 8: kickers Ingnzalez. There's all kinds of problems. So it starts
- 26:23Speaker 8: with the quarterback not being there. Michael Pennix, But I
- 26:26Speaker 8: wouldn't overlook the Falcons as another shutout candidate because of Robinson.
- 26:30Speaker 5: Uh yeah, Well they got Robinson and then Drake Lindon
- 26:33Speaker 5: might be back. I have Kyle Pitts. He there's weapons there,
- 26:36Speaker 5: and yet we're watching a dysfunctional offense. So what is
- 26:39Speaker 5: it that besides Beijon Robinson Because typically or so far
- 26:43Speaker 5: during the season, Seattle's been fairly difficult to run against.
- 26:47Speaker 5: If Thet's say they take him away, as they're still
- 26:50Speaker 5: concerns if they don't have an effective run game that
- 26:53Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins and the rest of that offense could put
- 26:55Speaker 5: up enough points.
- 26:58Speaker 8: Well, there's concerns. I would think that will the Seahawks
- 27:00Speaker 8: score enough points because the Falcons. We'll go on and
- 27:04Speaker 8: on about the Seahawks in their pass rush, and they
- 27:07Speaker 8: have forty sacks and that's fourth in the league and
- 27:09Speaker 8: they're on pace for their second most sacks ever. We're
- 27:12Speaker 8: talking going back to Legion to boom Bays. Yet the
- 27:15Speaker 8: Falcons have more than the Seahawks do. The Falcons have
- 27:18Speaker 8: forty one sacks in twelve games. They blitz a lot,
- 27:22Speaker 8: second most, but we saw the number one blitz team
- 27:24Speaker 8: by plenty, Minnesota come in here and what they did
- 27:27Speaker 8: in the first half tout to Sam Darnold four sacks
- 27:31Speaker 8: the season high in one half. Well, the number two
- 27:33Speaker 8: team in blitz is Atlanta, and they've completely changed their defense.
- 27:38Speaker 8: They've pass rush has been their big problem for years
- 27:40Speaker 8: down there. They've invested high draft picks, they've addressed in
- 27:44Speaker 8: new coaching staff, they've addressed in a brand new approach. And
- 27:47Speaker 8: now that blitz a lot. And we saw what Seattle
- 27:51Speaker 8: had problems with blitzing and then eventually fake blitzing by
- 27:54Speaker 8: Brian Flores and the Vikings last weekend. I think that's
- 27:57Speaker 8: the number one thing for Seattle this week is shoring
- 28:01Speaker 8: up their blitz protection and their blitz pass calls. Cooper
- 28:04Speaker 8: Cup talked about it after the game Sunday. He said, Hey,
- 28:08Speaker 8: if they're gonna blitz, we need to change schematically. And
- 28:11Speaker 8: I thought he was kind of shining a light on
- 28:12Speaker 8: Clint Kubiak when he said, if they're gonna rush from
- 28:15Speaker 8: the edge like that, let's get the quarterback outside. Let's
- 28:19Speaker 8: not run twenty yard routes, but maybe get used to
- 28:21Speaker 8: running three yard routes and turning.
- 28:22Speaker 11: Your head quickly and the ball arriving quickly.
- 28:25Speaker 8: That we started to see that later in the second
- 28:27Speaker 8: half after they adjusted and Smith and Jigua was a
- 28:30Speaker 8: primary adjuster.
- 28:31Speaker 11: To those routes.
- 28:32Speaker 8: But if they blitz the same effectiveness, they're gonna bring
- 28:36Speaker 8: blitz close to frequency that Minnesota did. But the Falcons
- 28:39Speaker 8: do it as the effectiveness they see twenty yard in
- 28:43Speaker 8: routes by Smith and Jigma because they won't have time
- 28:45Speaker 8: to throw them.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Greg bellers with us our Seahawks insider, and you can
- 28:48Speaker 3: follow him at Gmail, Seattle and of course Thenewstribune dot com.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I mean, here we said, I mean we nick picked this.
- 28:53Speaker 3: We uh, we pour over it. And I wonder though,
- 28:58Speaker 3: as I'm nitpicking, as we head into December here on
- 29:02Speaker 3: the stretch run of the season, is there a concern
- 29:04Speaker 3: for the Seahawks offense. For Sam Donald, I mean, the
- 29:08Speaker 3: last three games Rams Titans Vikings, he's completing sixty one
- 29:13Speaker 3: percent of his passes versus north of seventy prior to that.
- 29:17Speaker 3: For the season, he's been sacked five times in three games.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Prior to that, he was sacked ten times in nine games.
- 29:24Speaker 3: He's only thrown two touchdown passes here in the last
- 29:26Speaker 3: three weeks versus four interceptions. I mean, we saw Clint
- 29:30Speaker 3: Kubiak's offense in New Orleans a year ago start like
- 29:33Speaker 3: a house of fire and then was terrible in the
- 29:36Speaker 3: second half. So did the Rams or possibly Brian Flores
- 29:40Speaker 3: last week for the Vikings, is there any fear that
- 29:43Speaker 3: maybe they've shown the league the blueprint for how to
- 29:47Speaker 3: slow down Kubiak Donald and the Seahawks offense.
- 29:51Speaker 8: Well, I would think that these upcoming teams are going
- 29:55Speaker 8: to copy the Vikings blitzing and then fake blitzing a lot.
- 30:00Speaker 8: I would think that the Falcons, well, I know they're
- 30:01Speaker 8: going to do it because they blitzed anyway against everybody,
- 30:04Speaker 8: and then the Colts after it. I don't think the
- 30:08Speaker 8: Rams are going to change anything in what they did
- 30:10Speaker 8: in the first game because he intercept him four times.
- 30:13Speaker 8: But there is concern about the turnovers for sure. And
- 30:18Speaker 8: when he is hit in the pocket, he often loses
- 30:21Speaker 8: the ball. I mean that's a problem because the quarterbacks
- 30:25Speaker 8: number one job is to secure the ball. Of all
- 30:27Speaker 8: the thousands of things that he gets paid millions of
- 30:29Speaker 8: dollars to do, holding onto the ball is number one
- 30:33Speaker 8: and throwing it to the.
- 30:34Speaker 11: Right guy is number two.
- 30:36Speaker 8: But when you get hit, you can't lose the ball.
- 30:38Speaker 8: And with this offensive line, you're going to get hit
- 30:41Speaker 8: at times. And when you do hit, go to the
- 30:44Speaker 8: ground and take the loss and have Michael Dixon punt
- 30:46Speaker 8: instead of getting hit, losing the ball in first and
- 30:49Speaker 8: ten at the other plus eighteen that's happened a lot
- 30:52Speaker 8: of times this season. Fifteen turnovers in twelve games, second most.
- 30:56Speaker 8: Only Tungo Viola in Miami with one more has more
- 30:59Speaker 8: in the league. To me, that's the number one concern.
- 31:02Speaker 8: And he can say, wow, my job is to take
- 31:04Speaker 8: care of the ball. Well, what's causing that with the
- 31:06Speaker 8: blitzes and pressures And there was a blindside pressure that
- 31:11Speaker 8: he didn't see and got hit in the back and
- 31:12Speaker 8: lost the ball for a fumble against the Vikings. Those things,
- 31:17Speaker 8: and yes, for eleven games they had only eleven sacks,
- 31:20Speaker 8: fewest in the league. Atlanta's going to do what Minnesota
- 31:24Speaker 8: did blitz But I think.
- 31:25Speaker 11: Now you're going to see the Colts next.
- 31:27Speaker 8: Week, and teams down the road perhaps changed their game
- 31:30Speaker 8: plan a little bit more and add some more pressure
- 31:32Speaker 8: to see if Seattle can combat that. We still have
- 31:35Speaker 8: the specter of an offensive line change we talked about
- 31:37Speaker 8: a couple of days ago.
- 31:39Speaker 11: That won't happen this.
- 31:40Speaker 8: Week, it appears, but next week if Jensendell does come
- 31:43Speaker 8: back when he could be eligible to come off of IR,
- 31:47Speaker 8: there's a chance that he could be either the new
- 31:49Speaker 8: starting new old starting center or the new starting right guard,
- 31:53Speaker 8: which would change perhaps over with Timmy or Anthony Bradford
- 31:56Speaker 8: at right guard. They're not the Seahawks aren't just thrown
- 31:59Speaker 8: up there and saying, okay, come blitz and we'll try
- 32:02Speaker 8: to figure it out. There could be personnel changes, not
- 32:04Speaker 8: this week, but next in that regard.
- 32:07Speaker 5: Gee, I think the Falcons play a three to four
- 32:09Speaker 5: a lot like what the Minnesota Vikings do.
- 32:12Speaker 12: Now.
- 32:12Speaker 5: I don't know if they have the same you know,
- 32:14Speaker 5: jimmies and Joe's or the x's and those for that matter,
- 32:17Speaker 5: But is there something that you saw last week that
- 32:20Speaker 5: in that formation playing the three four that was part
- 32:23Speaker 5: of what creates the confusion for Sam Donald or just
- 32:28Speaker 5: the offense in general.
- 32:30Speaker 8: Well, yeah, when you have a three four, then your
- 32:32Speaker 8: pass rushers are more. You have one more linebacker, and
- 32:36Speaker 8: your pass rushers tend to be edge speed guys rather
- 32:38Speaker 8: than defensive line big guys. And you're right, Atlanta runs
- 32:43Speaker 8: a base three four usually and their edge rushers their
- 32:47Speaker 8: speed guys.
- 32:48Speaker 11: I mean, even the veteran Leonard Floyd is a speed guy.
- 32:53Speaker 8: That's so, yes, it is somewhat fundamentally different, just because
- 32:56Speaker 8: you have fewer befeeding guys up front. That was a
- 33:01Speaker 8: confusion issue. There were many times in Minnesota game. There
- 33:04Speaker 8: were many times that the Seahawks offensive line were standing
- 33:07Speaker 8: and waiting on defensive linemen to rush, and they didn't rush.
- 33:10Speaker 8: They backed off, and then Anthony Bradford and Abe Lucas
- 33:14Speaker 8: a couple of times would stand and wait and meanwhile,
- 33:17Speaker 8: here comes the steaming inside or outside linebacker to the
- 33:20Speaker 8: opposite side, blitzing in while they were watching linemen stand
- 33:23Speaker 8: in front of him. That's a problem that started. Flora's
- 33:27Speaker 8: game plan was blitz early and then back off and
- 33:30Speaker 8: fake blitz, and then when they did blitz, don't send
- 33:33Speaker 8: everybody drop off the defensive lineman, so you're actually rushing
- 33:37Speaker 8: three or four often but standing and backing.
- 33:40Speaker 11: Up to the defensive line. It was a.
- 33:43Speaker 8: Scheme that worked against Seattle. That Atlanta, I'm sure is
- 33:46Speaker 8: going to try and Indian AP's going to try, and
- 33:48Speaker 8: they've got to figure it out. Whether it's get the
- 33:50Speaker 8: ball out quick more quickly runs, shorter routes as Cup
- 33:53Speaker 8: suggested roll the quarterback out. Darnold stood in the pocket
- 33:57Speaker 8: quite against bit against Minnesota, taking those hits and getting
- 34:00Speaker 8: six passes knockdown. Cup made the point of let's roll
- 34:03Speaker 8: outside that pressure and see we can run around it
- 34:06Speaker 8: and not have the throws right into the defensive linemen
- 34:08Speaker 8: and the linebackers are jumping in his face, but offensively. Yes,
- 34:12Speaker 8: we are talking at length today because that's the key,
- 34:15Speaker 8: not just to this game, but the rest of the season.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Our Shocks insider Greg Bell is with us. And I'm
- 34:19Speaker 3: reading this guy Greg Bell at the Newstribune dot com.
- 34:23Speaker 3: And is he Is he telling me that Mike McDonald
- 34:28Speaker 3: has more tricks up his sleeve in regards to nick
- 34:31Speaker 3: Emon Warri usage.
- 34:33Speaker 11: Yes, I am.
- 34:35Speaker 8: How about nick Emon Warry as a defensive end, boy,
- 34:37Speaker 8: that's what he played. I went through a snap by snap.
- 34:41Speaker 8: I just watched Demon Worry Monday, and he lined up
- 34:45Speaker 8: seven times as a defensive end. One time he lined
- 34:48Speaker 8: up inside the tight end and outside the defensive tackle
- 34:51Speaker 8: or offensive tackle as a five technique defensive end. He
- 34:55Speaker 8: was mostly not they call it nine technique when you're
- 34:57Speaker 8: outside the tight end way wide, almost like an outside
- 34:59Speaker 8: line by but he was on the line of scrimmage
- 35:01Speaker 8: at a defensive end seven times out of his fifty snaps,
- 35:04Speaker 8: and McDonald chuckled and said, we just keep giving him
- 35:07Speaker 8: stuff and he keeps doing it. And they never did this,
- 35:10Speaker 8: the Ravens and McDonald never did this with Kyle Hamilton
- 35:14Speaker 8: when they drafted. Of course, even Worry in the second
- 35:16Speaker 8: round traded up seventeen spots to get him in May.
- 35:18Speaker 8: They talked about him being a Kyle Hamilton and do
- 35:20Speaker 8: it everything. Well, he's doing more than Hamilton. The All
- 35:23Speaker 8: Pro as a rookie and his eight games in remember
- 35:26Speaker 8: he missed three games because of the high ankle sprain
- 35:29Speaker 8: he got on the fourth play of the season. He's
- 35:31Speaker 8: only played eight NFL games, and they've got him playing
- 35:34Speaker 8: post safety, nickel safety, outside linebacker sometimes inside linebacker. Next
- 35:40Speaker 8: to Ernest Jones is the only two off linebackers in
- 35:42Speaker 8: the field. They've got him playing outside linebacker, blitzing off
- 35:45Speaker 8: the edge. They got him playing outside linebacker dropping into
- 35:47Speaker 8: the flat, and now they got him playing defensive end.
- 35:51Speaker 8: When you look at the numbers, everyone says, well, Seattle's
- 35:53Speaker 8: got the sub package of ninety two percent there in
- 35:55Speaker 8: sub package, Nicol or dying. It's because of Nick even worry.
- 35:58Speaker 8: But he and they saved all these light box numbers
- 36:01Speaker 8: that these.
- 36:01Speaker 11: Analytics guys talk about. The Steers don't play a light box.
- 36:04Speaker 8: They have a two hundred and twenty pounds safety who
- 36:07Speaker 8: comes to the line of scrimmage to play defensive end.
- 36:09Speaker 8: That's their light box. They have a light box in
- 36:12Speaker 8: terms of people see all Nick even wore. He's safety
- 36:15Speaker 8: is on the field now, even while he's playing defensive end.
- 36:19Speaker 8: So it is fascinating to watch McDonald in real time
- 36:25Speaker 8: invent things to do with him. He said, we're making
- 36:27Speaker 8: it up on the fly. When they drafted him, they
- 36:30Speaker 8: said that they had no idea that he could play
- 36:32Speaker 8: defensive end, but they tried it in practice.
- 36:34Speaker 11: It looked good. They tried it in the game, look great.
- 36:36Speaker 8: You're going to see it again in Sunday in Atlanta,
- 36:39Speaker 8: and McDonald's were just making it up as we go.
- 36:41Speaker 8: He kind of chuckled that there's nothing this kid can't
- 36:44Speaker 8: do yet. His speed, his power, his awareness, and his
- 36:47Speaker 8: ability to learn and willingness to learn. It's really fun
- 36:50Speaker 8: to watch when I know we all tend to follow
- 36:52Speaker 8: the ball when we watch, specially on television because the
- 36:55Speaker 8: TV narrows it to the ball. But people listening, if
- 36:59Speaker 8: you're at a game, put your binoculars or eyes on
- 37:02Speaker 8: number three and just watch three. It's interesting to watch
- 37:04Speaker 8: him line up in a different place every snap. He
- 37:07Speaker 8: rarely lined up in the same place two snaps and
- 37:10Speaker 8: definitely not three snaps in a row against Minnesota, And
- 37:13Speaker 8: that's a headache for quarterbacks and offensive coordinators and McDonald.
- 37:17Speaker 8: That's half the purpose of doing that is so they
- 37:19Speaker 8: don't know where he's coming from.
- 37:21Speaker 2: That's fun. Yeah, and you're saying, we got this guy
- 37:24Speaker 2: for a few more years. Huh rookie.
- 37:27Speaker 8: He's under rookie salary for the next three and a
- 37:30Speaker 8: half years for you.
- 37:31Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 37:32Speaker 8: That that that trade and draft pick looks pretty good
- 37:34Speaker 8: right now.
- 37:35Speaker 3: All right, Greg, awesome stuff. Thank you man.
- 37:37Speaker 2: We appreciate it, and we'll do the roundtable tomorrow.

- 38:30Speaker 2: Lane Kiffins of the World.
- 38:32Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, your.
- 38:37Speaker 4: Own for Husky Football, probably presents our weekly visit with
- 38:41Speaker 4: a voice of the dogs, Can Cleveland.
- 38:43Speaker 3: Hoyah Perfore let's go right to you by Warrior Injury logs,
- 38:48Speaker 3: battles tested.
- 38:49Speaker 4: Now here's checking bug with a former Husky tight end
- 38:53Speaker 4: on Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
- 38:59Speaker 3: Our last conversation of the season with Cam Cleveland here
- 39:02Speaker 3: this morning.
- 39:03Speaker 2: He's been with us every single week this year.
- 39:06Speaker 3: The former Washington tied end and current color analysts there
- 39:10Speaker 3: for a Husky broadcast. He will have a Bowl game
- 39:13Speaker 3: to call coming up soon and we'll know all the
- 39:15Speaker 3: details about that very soon. But for us, a final conversation,
- 39:20Speaker 3: and unfortunately he's got to hear Bucky Jacobson talk crap
- 39:23Speaker 3: to him.
- 39:24Speaker 7: I'm not I was going to do that.
- 39:26Speaker 5: I mean I did have to listen to him a
- 39:28Speaker 5: softy try to come at me for an entire hour
- 39:33Speaker 5: last week. But no, just with humility, say it was
- 39:36Speaker 5: a good game. You guys are competitive.
- 39:38Speaker 12: Well, good morning, guys. I don't need to see.
- 39:41Speaker 14: We still have a connection here. You have every We're
- 39:44Speaker 14: right to talk a little smack, but the humility of
- 39:47Speaker 14: the professional athlete stands out. A man with a beard
- 39:50Speaker 14: like that deserves a ton of credit and look at him. I,
- 39:53Speaker 14: on the other hand, I would have been an absolute
- 39:56Speaker 14: dirt bag.
- 39:56Speaker 10: And so I just.
- 39:59Speaker 5: Well, you played it, it you are, you were part
- 40:01Speaker 5: of it. I mean, that's that is a big part
- 40:03Speaker 5: of where I draw the lot. I'm not going to
- 40:05Speaker 5: sit and talk trash to a husky that's played in
- 40:08Speaker 5: the game. You have legit hate for the Ducks, and
- 40:11Speaker 5: understandably so I don't have.
- 40:13Speaker 7: That same thing.
- 40:14Speaker 5: And yet it is nice to be heading. You know,
- 40:17Speaker 5: our season still going.
- 40:19Speaker 12: Yeah, does it bother you to hear?
- 40:21Speaker 3: And does it bother you that he gives the old
- 40:24Speaker 3: tap on the head like you guys are competitive, good job.
- 40:26Speaker 2: Does that bother you?
- 40:27Speaker 12: Yeah? I mean not really. I mean it doesn't bother me.
- 40:31Speaker 14: No, because I wish I could change it. But the
- 40:34Speaker 14: fact is is he's right. They were better. They were
- 40:37Speaker 14: better on that day. They we got work to do
- 40:40Speaker 14: is as a program and a group. Uh, the game
- 40:44Speaker 14: was there were there were opportunities in the game. As
- 40:48Speaker 14: I watched it unfold, Uh, you could just see that
- 40:52Speaker 14: that was a team that had been in close games
- 40:54Speaker 14: and knew how to win close games. And we've seen
- 40:56Speaker 14: Husky programs in the past that have been very good
- 40:58Speaker 14: at winning close games and knowing how to out And
- 41:01Speaker 14: that was an Oregon team that's been very battle tested
- 41:04Speaker 14: throughout the season.
- 41:05Speaker 12: And these aren't compliments, these are facts.
- 41:07Speaker 14: They've gone on the road to Iowa, Penn State, tough
- 41:10Speaker 14: games at home. Yeah, they lost to the number two
- 41:13Speaker 14: team in the country, but they're gonna get a shot
- 41:16Speaker 14: in this big dance. And you just got to find
- 41:19Speaker 14: a way in that program, find a way to win
- 41:22Speaker 14: the big games in those moments, and they might do it.
- 41:24Speaker 12: We'll find out for sure.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about the big games, because that's obviously
- 41:29Speaker 3: the issue here for Washington football, second year under Jed Fish. Yeah,
- 41:35Speaker 3: you can against mediocre teams light up the scoreboard, but
- 41:39Speaker 3: against good to great teams you have trouble scoring points
- 41:42Speaker 3: at all.
- 41:43Speaker 2: What explains that?
- 41:44Speaker 14: Cam, Well, guys man, we could break it down for hours.
- 41:49Speaker 14: We could look at it in film study. I could
- 41:51Speaker 14: break it down by play call. You could go down
- 41:53Speaker 14: inability and let me start with a good can I
- 41:57Speaker 14: can I begin with that and say how much coach
- 41:59Speaker 14: will Alters really adapted and adjusted his defense. And if
- 42:05Speaker 14: I told you going into a game against Oregon who
- 42:08Speaker 14: was rushing.
- 42:08Speaker 12: For almost two hundred and fifty yards, rather it.
- 42:12Speaker 14: Was like two forty two per game on average, and
- 42:15Speaker 14: you were going to shut down their running game with
- 42:18Speaker 14: an eighty seven year old running back with Noah Winnington
- 42:21Speaker 14: who's been in college football for eight billion years, and
- 42:24Speaker 14: a lot of other really good running backs, and put
- 42:27Speaker 14: it in in Dante Moore's hands to win it with
- 42:30Speaker 14: his arm. I would have said, sign me up, sign
- 42:33Speaker 14: me up. And he did a great job with that
- 42:35Speaker 14: and made them one dimensional. I mean the running game
- 42:37Speaker 14: was not as strong, and they did a fantastic job.
- 42:41Speaker 14: So that's the excellent side of what this defense was
- 42:43Speaker 14: able to accomplish, not only schematically, but they did it
- 42:46Speaker 14: in big games throughout the entire season, against Michigan, against
- 42:50Speaker 14: Ohio State, and then we flipped to the other side
- 42:53Speaker 14: of the coin and going into this season, the defense
- 42:57Speaker 14: was supposed to be secondary to our offense. Seven points
- 43:01Speaker 14: forty six points and wins nine and a half to
- 43:04Speaker 14: eight and a half points and losses. I've never seen
- 43:08Speaker 14: a dramatic difference between two offensive just outputs in wins
- 43:15Speaker 14: and losses, and so to me that that's a glaring,
- 43:19Speaker 14: glaring thing that has to be of course, the coaches
- 43:22Speaker 14: and everybody knows this. Everybody's we're not stupid here. We
- 43:26Speaker 14: understand you have to score points to win. But this
- 43:29Speaker 14: does come down to the production on the offensive size
- 43:32Speaker 14: offensive side. And I'm gonna be as blatantly honest as
- 43:36Speaker 14: I can. It starts with number two. And if you're
- 43:38Speaker 14: in college football, this isn't blame. This is just where
- 43:41Speaker 14: it starts. Your quarterback to get to the highest level
- 43:45Speaker 14: would be a top ten team that competes in.
- 43:47Speaker 12: The college football Top twelve. Sorry, your quarterback has to
- 43:50Speaker 12: be great.
- 43:52Speaker 14: And I have a grading scale, and this has always
- 43:54Speaker 14: been my grading scale since I was started in analytics
- 43:59Speaker 14: or in analyzing displayers. There's bad, good, great, elite. Those
- 44:05Speaker 14: are my four categories. And there's only a couple of
- 44:07Speaker 14: elite guys every year. There's a lot of good guys,
- 44:10Speaker 14: and then you have some, you know, some some really
- 44:13Speaker 14: bad quarterbacks. And so you have to find a way
- 44:17Speaker 14: for to get demand to the next level of where
- 44:20Speaker 14: he needs to be and how he needs to become
- 44:23Speaker 14: a leader offensively, and it's all starts with it. And
- 44:27Speaker 14: that's that's where I think it begins.
- 44:30Speaker 5: So I mean, where do you have me Obviously obviously
- 44:32Speaker 5: not bad, I would say good. I would say good,
- 44:35Speaker 5: and sometimes plays great. You're wanting him to be great
- 44:38Speaker 5: on a consistent basis and at times maybe rise to elite.
- 44:42Speaker 14: Yeah, and I think so, And that's that's a These
- 44:45Speaker 14: are goals that everybody sets. And I would put him
- 44:47Speaker 14: as a good quarterback. I had him higher at the
- 44:50Speaker 14: beginning of the year in these moments and I really
- 44:53Speaker 14: saw I saw some plays with his feet that were
- 44:56Speaker 14: absolutely incredible. His next evolution is winning with his arm.
- 45:01Speaker 14: Talent and being more accurate with the football, being more decisive,
- 45:06Speaker 14: finding those windows that are that are easier to throw in.
- 45:09Speaker 14: And that comes with coaching and it comes with development.
- 45:12Speaker 14: And I'm i'm as I'm as critical as any football
- 45:16Speaker 14: player or anybody that watches watches the football game. And
- 45:19Speaker 14: then it starts with the offensive line. You know, as
- 45:22Speaker 14: you saw a guy Adam Muhammad ran the ball, sensational,
- 45:26Speaker 14: he looked fantastic. I'm like, why aren't we giving him
- 45:30Speaker 14: the ball thirty five times?
- 45:32Speaker 12: What? There were moments where he had to throw the football.
- 45:34Speaker 12: That was part of it.
- 45:35Speaker 14: But then you wanted to rotate in Jonah Coleman, who
- 45:37Speaker 14: deserved the opportunity to get in that football game. And
- 45:40Speaker 14: that's not my call, that's coaches wanted to change it up.
- 45:43Speaker 14: But Adam was hot. Adams liked and I said it
- 45:46Speaker 14: during the Bride, Adams like the shooter out at the
- 45:48Speaker 14: three point range and he's in the zone. Feed him
- 45:51Speaker 14: the ball he was. He found his windows and it
- 45:54Speaker 14: worked out. We just couldn't get the big play. And
- 45:58Speaker 14: then it was the mistakes, you know, interceptions, the throws
- 46:02Speaker 14: that were in that not being able to convert on
- 46:04Speaker 14: third down, couple penalty situations.
- 46:07Speaker 12: And then there we are. You're behind eight ball.
- 46:09Speaker 14: Versus an excellent Oregon defense. I mean, they're as good
- 46:12Speaker 14: as anybody in the country.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Also, yeah, I was screaming for more Muhammed, I mean
- 46:16Speaker 3: to be running that well. They didn't seem to have
- 46:19Speaker 3: an answer for him. And you have only fourteen carries
- 46:21Speaker 3: at the end of the game where you only score
- 46:23Speaker 3: fourteen points, that seems like a miss. And then another
- 46:27Speaker 3: thing until the Denzel Boston second touchdown. Man, it just
- 46:31Speaker 3: feels like everything against these quality defenses. And there's no
- 46:34Speaker 3: doubt Oregon has a great defense, and they got great
- 46:37Speaker 3: athletes on that side of the ball, they got a
- 46:38Speaker 3: great scheme, but it just feels like everything is a struggle,
- 46:43Speaker 3: and I'm curious why. I mean, I watched Max Brosmer
- 46:46Speaker 3: get shut out by the Seahawks and he still had
- 46:49Speaker 3: moments where there were a few open receivers that he
- 46:52Speaker 3: just had to basically walk the ball to. It just
- 46:54Speaker 3: doesn't feel like in these teams again, in these games
- 46:57Speaker 3: against these great defenses, that there's ever an open receiver
- 47:00Speaker 3: for Demon Williams to throw to. Is he just missing
- 47:03Speaker 3: them or are they not scheming receivers open.
- 47:07Speaker 14: Yeah, there there's this, you know, a couple of shots.
- 47:10Speaker 14: And this is again, this is just my take of
- 47:13Speaker 14: watching film and watching him play. And I don't sit
- 47:16Speaker 14: in with the staff so that this is there. This
- 47:19Speaker 14: is what Jed loves to run. And he he knows offense,
- 47:22Speaker 14: and that's insane to call him. They know how to
- 47:26Speaker 14: call plays, they know how to design, but you always
- 47:29Speaker 14: call plays. Great play callers call plays for their best athletes.
- 47:33Speaker 14: They I could drop the greatest play ever. I can
- 47:36Speaker 14: say hound six hot z snag, And I can say
- 47:39Speaker 14: I want to throw to the seven route and my
- 47:41Speaker 14: seventh route guy runs a five to two and.
- 47:43Speaker 12: Be like, well it should work. No, it's not. He
- 47:46Speaker 12: can't run. I can't throw to that guy. I have
- 47:49Speaker 12: to design a play.
- 47:50Speaker 14: So what you saw during a lot of games in
- 47:52Speaker 14: situations is you've designed it, designed flood concepts. You brought
- 47:56Speaker 14: three receivers to one side, and defenses started understand, Okay,
- 48:02Speaker 14: we can put pressure on demand with just four. So
- 48:06Speaker 14: that means we now have seven. So if you saw
- 48:09Speaker 14: during the Oregon game they had a spy number thirty one,
- 48:12Speaker 14: and I'm forgetting his name, Rick, but yes, thank you
- 48:17Speaker 14: Cieneman or whatever it was.
- 48:18Speaker 12: He was excellent in the game.
- 48:20Speaker 14: His total job throughout the entire football game was to
- 48:24Speaker 14: shadow Demond.
- 48:25Speaker 12: So they played a four to six' one.
- 48:28Speaker 14: Zone, defense if that makes, sense for rush one, free
- 48:33Speaker 14: which Was demond's, shadow and then another six over the
- 48:37Speaker 14: top and. Underneath that was a great design and that
- 48:40Speaker 14: you know who set that precedent on. Us this, Year
- 48:42Speaker 14: Ohio state did the exact same thing once that got on. Film,
- 48:47Speaker 14: guys this is a copycat. League but once you put
- 48:49Speaker 14: something on, film it's a weakness teams will exploit That
- 48:54Speaker 14: michigan did. It they dropped into a deep shell The
- 48:58Speaker 14: wisconsin games and anominally it was a garbage game of
- 49:01Speaker 14: cold weather and bad stuff and injuries that one didn't make,
- 49:03Speaker 14: Sense but in these big moments they found a way
- 49:07Speaker 14: to be very strategic on defense to shadow them. On
- 49:12Speaker 14: and then you'll watch another thing that he. Does he
- 49:14Speaker 14: likes to hang in the pocket And Coach fish said
- 49:16Speaker 14: this after the game WHEN i asked, HIM i, said
- 49:18Speaker 14: you look like you gave him some more time.
- 49:21Speaker 11: To be in The.
- 49:21Speaker 14: POCKETSY i wanted him to adjust and win there and
- 49:25Speaker 14: he got used to. That but he's bouncing in, there he's. Bouncing,
- 49:28Speaker 14: well he took sack on the first play the. Game you, bounce, bounce,
- 49:33Speaker 14: bounce that ball has to be out in the second,
- 49:35Speaker 14: bounce and if it's, not then he's got to get.
- 49:38Speaker 12: Out and now you have a.
- 49:39Speaker 14: Shadow so there's lots of lots of things to work off,
- 49:42Speaker 14: of but there are certainly things.
- 49:45Speaker 12: That maybe as they evolve and, design how.
- 49:48Speaker 14: Do you bring his offensive talent and really elevate his
- 49:53Speaker 14: offensive talent to the next level with the throwing game
- 49:56Speaker 14: and the passing game that he can you, know he
- 50:00Speaker 14: got to get better in that, Scenario.
- 50:02Speaker 5: Cam THE i took my son to the, game SO
- 50:04Speaker 5: i didn't get to you, know when you're at the, Game,
- 50:06Speaker 5: uh it's harder to kind of notice some. THINGS i,
- 50:09Speaker 5: mean you've got a bird's eye view and you're doing your,
- 50:11Speaker 5: job but you're sitting down in the stands and you,
- 50:13Speaker 5: know having a couple of beers with my with my,
- 50:15Speaker 5: kid well he didn't have, any but he's only eight
- 50:17Speaker 5: yet he's More, yeah he.
- 50:20Speaker 12: Was he was more hard on.
- 50:21Speaker 5: Alcohol to, Want, yeah exactly like you, know dabbling in
- 50:27Speaker 5: that hard. Stuff, no it's just it's harder to kind
- 50:31Speaker 5: of watch from WHERE i was. Sitting, ANYWAYS i have
- 50:33Speaker 5: a lot of. FRIENDS i heard a lot of people
- 50:35Speaker 5: in the stands uh being really critical Of jed and
- 50:39Speaker 5: his play. Calling they don't is there things that you
- 50:42Speaker 5: wish it they would do? DIFFERENT i mean we've talked
- 50:44Speaker 5: about different players and maybe Getting Jordan washington in the
- 50:46Speaker 5: ball or Feeding muhammed Doing but as far as his
- 50:49Speaker 5: play calling are you are you seeing things that you
- 50:52Speaker 5: want him to continue to adjust to do or maybe
- 50:54Speaker 5: somebody else come in to call the plays?
- 50:57Speaker 12: AGAIN i.
- 50:57Speaker 14: Don't there's no way you're going to get me to
- 51:02Speaker 14: stand up here instead at this spot and criticize play calling,
- 51:06Speaker 14: because As i'll go, back every play works if it's
- 51:09Speaker 14: designed to go to your best. Athletes athletes have to.
- 51:12Speaker 14: EXECUTE i call a play and then there's execution. Situations
- 51:17Speaker 14: Adam muhammad was executing, physically if THAT i hope that makes.
- 51:21Speaker 12: Sense like he had.
- 51:22Speaker 14: A vision of where to, go his feel the offensive
- 51:25Speaker 14: line was going. Downhill the execution side on some of
- 51:29Speaker 14: the other designs. Wasn't guys weren't getting open certain situations
- 51:35Speaker 14: wasn't There and remember he doesn't have a. COLLEGE i,
- 51:38Speaker 14: mean there's two. Kinds, well there's multiple kinds of. Offense
- 51:42Speaker 14: but there's AN nfl offense and then there's college.
- 51:44Speaker 12: Offense those are.
- 51:46Speaker 14: Two jed has a combination of, both like he's got
- 51:49Speaker 14: an UNBELIEVABLE nfl background of those types of schemes combined
- 51:53Speaker 14: with college.
- 51:54Speaker 12: Offense college offenses.
- 51:57Speaker 14: True college offenses Are Ohio, state they Are, michigan some
- 52:02Speaker 14: of The.
- 52:02Speaker 12: Iohua these are rpo.
- 52:05Speaker 14: Games one side reads Quick oregan, ABSOLUTELY i, mean and
- 52:09Speaker 14: that coach is going to go To kentucky and take
- 52:11Speaker 14: over and take that same. Style that's a very popular
- 52:14Speaker 14: style of offense because it's easy to coach and gives
- 52:17Speaker 14: simple reads and gives multiple, options and you spread the
- 52:20Speaker 14: field with. Space kalin De bord does not call a college,
- 52:23Speaker 14: offense never. Did, okay it's very. Different you watch the
- 52:28Speaker 14: Way Lincoln riley, calls spreads the, field athletic quarterback in
- 52:32Speaker 14: space running college. Offense so play calls are specific to
- 52:37Speaker 14: who you are in YOUR. Dna he learned Under Steve,
- 52:40Speaker 14: spurrier who was an incredible play.
- 52:42Speaker 12: Caller in AN nfl offense.
- 52:44Speaker 14: Style so could there be different, things, Sure BUT i
- 52:48Speaker 14: think when a game isn't working and your quarterback's not finding.
- 52:53Speaker 14: Rhythm it's really hard on a play. Caller it's extremely
- 52:56Speaker 14: hard to. Try it's, like where do you go down the? List,
- 52:59Speaker 14: OKAY i, tried all, right let's try. It, well that
- 53:01Speaker 14: didn't work. Either let's try, this and you're trying to
- 53:04Speaker 14: find a rhythm as a caller during the same. Time
- 53:07Speaker 14: and he got about thirty five seconds to make the.
- 53:10Speaker 12: Decision and it's not, easy, boys it.
- 53:11Speaker 3: Isn't Cam cleveland is with us a segment with us
- 53:14Speaker 3: all season, long brought to you By Warrior Injury Law Battle. Tested,
- 53:19Speaker 3: well that's a big picture of this thing at the
- 53:21Speaker 3: end of this conversation and at the end of this,
- 53:23Speaker 3: season BECAUSE i think back to the beginning of last.
- 53:26Speaker 3: YEAR i think it was a free pass For jedfish
- 53:29Speaker 3: in his first, year AND i agree with. That and
- 53:32Speaker 3: to get to six and, SIX i Think oski fans are, Like,
- 53:35Speaker 3: OKAY i would have liked, better BUT i can live
- 53:38Speaker 3: with that, result considering everything that he had to do
- 53:41Speaker 3: and replace After kaylin De bor left and then into
- 53:44Speaker 3: the second, year felt, like, well we got to see.
- 53:47Speaker 2: Improvement there's no.
- 53:48Speaker 3: Quad we got to be improvement and competitive in every single,
- 53:52Speaker 3: game and here you are eight and four to close
- 53:55Speaker 3: out the, season certainly competitive Against, oregon certainly competitive Against Ohio,
- 54:00Speaker 3: state and it just kind of feels cam, like all,
- 54:03Speaker 3: right you did. It you achieved like the, minimum but you,
- 54:09Speaker 3: know certainly would have liked to have seen a little bit more.
- 54:13Speaker 3: Progress but you did achieve what we hoped you would achieve.
- 54:17Speaker 3: Technically so that being, said two years into, this how
- 54:21Speaker 3: are we feeling about how The jedfish program is?
- 54:24Speaker 7: Going?
- 54:25Speaker 14: Well i'm on the ultra positive, Side, OKAY i MEAN
- 54:30Speaker 14: i have to. BE i just looked across college you
- 54:32Speaker 14: how many guys lost their Job Michigan, State.
- 54:34Speaker 12: OREGON i can go right down WITH.
- 54:35Speaker 14: Ucla we could be we could Be Penna. State you
- 54:38Speaker 14: could Be Virginia. Tech well they found a new.
- 54:40Speaker 11: Guy you could Be.
- 54:41Speaker 14: Florida you could Be Ole myths and lose your guy
- 54:43Speaker 14: before you even go win a national.
- 54:45Speaker 12: Championship and here you.
- 54:46Speaker 14: Are you took over a program that lost Fifty you

- 55:01Speaker 14: road you lose one bad football, game and That's wisconsin
- 55:06Speaker 14: because that that game is that that'll haunt him a little.
- 55:08Speaker 14: Bit but eight wins guys in The Big ten conference

- 1:00:31Speaker 2: DUKE i, Do, yeah, exactly all, right great one.

- 1:00:42Speaker 3: everybody has their nickname name.
- 1:00:44Speaker 7: Tag they got to wear it through the entire.
- 1:00:45Speaker 11: Weekend all, right.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: So even when you, GO i don't have a nickname, Though, Bucky,
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: yeah that's you have. One they just haven't told you
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: because you have a tractor and you'll dig.
- 1:00:54Speaker 8: Hole y.
- 1:00:56Speaker 9: It, works that's like it works like in a baseball locker.
- 1:00:59Speaker 9: Room you don't need a nickname because of your last
- 1:01:00Speaker 9: name in.
- 1:01:01Speaker 7: The why YEAH i do.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: That you could Be Bookie yeickerson Book, sure.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: That's all, right that's all.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: Right, so, Yeah bucky is going till nine o'clock today
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: and then we won't see him.
- 1:01:15Speaker 7: AGAIN i don't know If i'll make it that.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: Long, yeah well we'll. See he tuned out at.
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: Seven seahawks offensive line certainly at its worst week of
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: the season this past, week worst, job and it wasn't
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: even a question of Protecting Sam donald against The Minnesota.
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: Vikings maybe we can give credit To Brian flores and
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: we don't necessarily have to blame The seahawks offensive line
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: Because flores did to seem to have a great. Plan but,
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: nonetheless whatever's going, on some alarm bells were sent off
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: Because Sam donald hast to have some time to throw
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: when you can only GET js and the. BALL a
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: couple of times in a game you don't have enough
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: time to throw uh and that cannot continue going Into
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: atlanta and. Beyond and so With Jalen, SUNDEL i mean
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: he can come off THE. Ir we haven't, heard at
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: LEAST i haven't. Heard maybe there's some information out there
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: THAT i. MISSED i haven't heard that he's going to
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: be activated just because he's. Eligible but obviously once he becomes,
- 1:02:11Speaker 3: eligible you start thinking about getting him back into the.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Lineup he was the starting center for all those great weeks.
- 1:02:18Speaker 11: With sam.
- 1:02:21Speaker 3: And now that he's coming, back it makes you wonder
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: who's struggling more? Upfront is that Olaa timmy at? Center
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: and is or is It Anthony bradford at right? Guard
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: and Will Jalen sndell come back to start at guard
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: and not? Center we Asked greg about that.
- 1:02:38Speaker 8: Yesterday, well it's interesting Because, sundell if you, remember during.
- 1:02:43Speaker 11: Training, camp was one of the three competitors for the
- 1:02:47Speaker 11: right guard.
- 1:02:48Speaker 8: Job it Was Christian haynes who actually started training camp
- 1:02:51Speaker 8: as the, starter and then it Was Anthony bradford and
- 1:02:54Speaker 8: they Had sundell then Directed looking twenty twenty, four who
- 1:02:57Speaker 8: did some.
- 1:02:57Speaker 11: Guard work and practices.
- 1:02:58Speaker 8: Last Year sundell ended up proving to be so good
- 1:03:02Speaker 8: at center that he beat Out ola With timmy and
- 1:03:03Speaker 8: took that. Job, well now he's been on ir olal
- 1:03:06Speaker 8: With timmy is at, center and if you take McDonald
- 1:03:10Speaker 8: as his, word he really likes How Ola timmy's played
- 1:03:14Speaker 8: in the two games three games Since sundell went out
- 1:03:16Speaker 8: with a knee, injury which makes the, question now do
- 1:03:20Speaker 8: you keep some ol With timmy where he's been. Good
- 1:03:24Speaker 8: sundell is eligible to come off of injured reserve this
- 1:03:27Speaker 8: time next. Week the fourth consecutive game he'll miss is
- 1:03:30Speaker 8: The atlanta game this. Weekend AND i asked yesterday McDonald
- 1:03:34Speaker 8: Of sundell how he's progressing toward potentially practicing next.
- 1:03:38Speaker 11: Week he says he's doing really.
- 1:03:39Speaker 8: Well AND i, said is he going to come back
- 1:03:42Speaker 8: to be a guard or a? Center and he, said
- 1:03:45Speaker 8: we're still working through what the lineup is going to
- 1:03:47Speaker 8: look like when he comes, back which is a really
- 1:03:48Speaker 8: telling statement to. ME i think they're thinking about putting
- 1:03:52Speaker 8: him at guards and Having sundell play right guard next
- 1:03:56Speaker 8: To oval With timmy to not disturb What Oli timmy's
- 1:03:59Speaker 8: done the center of the offensive. Line so competition on
- 1:04:03Speaker 8: the horizon perhaps For Anthony. Bradford, now as you said,
- 1:04:07Speaker 8: yesterday McDonald said that he Thought bradford played a pretty good.
- 1:04:11Speaker 8: Game he said there were some good plays and some
- 1:04:13Speaker 8: not so good. Plays but when he was asked about
- 1:04:16Speaker 8: fans especially Criticizing bradford for standing around and look like
- 1:04:19Speaker 8: he's waiting on a bus and some pass protection, snaps he,
- 1:04:23Speaker 8: SAID i think he's played pretty. Well so we'll, see
- 1:04:28Speaker 8: but there is going to be competition somewhere Because sindel's
- 1:04:30Speaker 8: not going to come, back and said he's either going
- 1:04:32Speaker 8: to play, center he's going to play. Guard WHAT i
- 1:04:35Speaker 8: saw in training, Camp, GUYS i think the best line right,
- 1:04:38Speaker 8: NOW i Think sandell's a better center than old With.
- 1:04:41Speaker 8: Timmy but if they're good With olal With timmy at,
- 1:04:43Speaker 8: CENTER i think their best line would Be Old timey
- 1:04:46Speaker 8: at center And sindel at right.
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: Guard greg mel with say yesterday talking about the offensive,
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: LINE i would, SAY i don't know how much you
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: can take a head coach at his word at any.
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: LEVEL i, mean because he also did say that he's
- 1:05:01Speaker 3: been pleased with the Way Anthony bradford's, playing even though
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: the entire fan base seems to be upset with.
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: It he's also said that after the.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: Game the other, day and then even with a little
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: bit of time to talk to think about, it he
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: said it earlier this. Week and Even, hugh who's not
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: Liked Anthony bradford pretty much all season, long did On
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: Mark show yesterday Defend Anthony bradford's. Play it wasn't as
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: bad as what it looked. Like and there were a
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: couple of isolated highlights that made him look like he
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: was blocking. Air and yet Who hugh had an explanation for.
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: It i'm not SURE i could come up with an
- 1:05:38Speaker 3: explanation for, it But hugh had an explanation for. It bottom,
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: line he was saying that Maybe Anthony bradford is getting
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: killed a little bit too much this, week and maybe he.
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: Wouldn't be replaced in that. Situation, MAYBE i. GUESS i,
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: MEAN i don't. KNOW i don't Believe mike McDonald when
- 1:05:57Speaker 5: he's SAYING i think he's playing pretty. Good, now If
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: hugh wants to find reasons why maybe it looks worse
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: than it, was, Okay i'll listen to. That BUT i,
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: Mean i'm just coming from A i'm not a guy
- 1:06:08Speaker 5: that sits here and studies it or acts Like i'm
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: some you, know former pro that knows it, right that
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: really can dive. In i'm just, saying watching, it there's
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: times THAT i watch offensive line right Because i'm not
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: wanting him to get To Sam darnold because then he's
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: fumbling some balls or he's you, know just recently through those,
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: picks and so It's i'm watching the offensive. Line and
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: more often than, not if someone comes in there, quickly
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: they're coming By sam Or Anthony. Bradford if the pocket
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: collapses And i'm not talking about the tackles, received you,
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: know conceding that they're going to be able to get,
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: upfield but if the inside of the pocket, collapses it
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: typically is Where Anthony bradford was.
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: At to, me it's it seems like a.
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: Weakness and if if pros say that it isn't. Okay,
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: Yeah i'm just saying the layman's, EYES i watch, it
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: AND i see the dude looks like he's blocked ghosts
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: and there's a, real live human heading back towards the.
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: Quarterback and Then i've been on run. Place if it's
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: maybe you suck it pass, blocking but then be really
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: good at run blocking don't be bad at. Both and to,
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: me it's like WHEN i watch, him he looks like
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: that's it could be an upgrade. POSSIBILITY i don't Think
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: timmy has been, outstanding but it doesn't look like he's
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: been a guy that people are just running by.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: Either so you Go timmy And. Sundal, yes.
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: Yes and If timmy is just a center and he can't,
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: play you, know guard like they obviously Know, sundell could
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: they moved him. INSIDE i think maybe that's the lesser
- 1:07:38Speaker 5: of two. Evils if you get that's your best combo
- 1:07:40Speaker 5: of two guys out of the. Three, uh and you,
- 1:07:44Speaker 5: know maybe it doesn't, work but then you should Have.
- 1:07:47Speaker 5: Bradford maybe he can rest up a little.
- 1:07:48Speaker 7: Bit maybe he's. Tired, yeah somebody give that guy a.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: NAP i, MEAN i get. IT i need a nap
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: usually every. Day same.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: Here.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Yeah so if he's not getting past, blocking has going
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: to crap SINCE i started doing this.
- 1:08:05Speaker 9: Show, yeah, yeah you couldn't put me out there on
- 1:08:08Speaker 9: A sunday IF i haven't napped all.
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: WEEK i look Like Jermaina fetti out there not saying.
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: Something, yeah all, right coming up. Next holiday analytics were introduced.

- 1:09:25Speaker 3: Morning we got breaking news to deal with, Here, scott
- 1:09:28Speaker 3: what can you tell us about wide Receiver Tres.
- 1:09:30Speaker 12: Davis, yeah IT'S.
- 1:09:32Speaker 10: I i'm pretty. Sure i've only talked to him once
- 1:09:35Speaker 10: AND i didn't ask him out his pronounced his, name
- 1:09:37Speaker 10: But i'm pretty people have told me It's Trade. Davis
- 1:09:39Speaker 10: Trad david six six out Of west Mon, Row. Louisiana
- 1:09:45Speaker 10: can do a lot of different things for, you isn't
- 1:09:48Speaker 10: isn't a guy who you can kind of pigeonhole in
- 1:09:50Speaker 10: one one. Area he's a he's got he's got really good,
- 1:09:53Speaker 10: speed that's kind of his. Trademark he's got great open
- 1:09:57Speaker 10: field running. Ability could actually be in a return man
- 1:10:00Speaker 10: at some. Point So washington is doing a lot to
- 1:10:03Speaker 10: upgrade the weapons outside that are at the disposal Of Demon,
- 1:10:07Speaker 10: williams because if you Want DeMont williams to have, success
- 1:10:11Speaker 10: obviously he's got to have an offensive line in, front
- 1:10:13Speaker 10: but he's also got to have some people to throw.
- 1:10:14Speaker 10: To and over the last two, classes this now MAKES
- 1:10:18Speaker 10: i believe it's ten wide receivers in the in their
- 1:10:22Speaker 10: recruit last two recruiting, classes and so they've added a
- 1:10:26Speaker 10: lot of talent and now we need to see what
- 1:10:29Speaker 10: it looks like in springball and how things kind of
- 1:10:32Speaker 10: pan out the way they.
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: Battle Scott eckland is with us talking About husky recruiting
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: here on The National Signing, day and of, course so

- 1:10:43Speaker 3: we'll get to some of the things that have already been.
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: Accomplished but what else are you working? On what else
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: are you keeping an eye? On what else could break
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: today that we would put in the you, know breaking news?
- 1:10:54Speaker 10: Category well as far as what are we waiting, On
- 1:10:58Speaker 10: we're waiting on ten more guys to get there in
- 1:11:01Speaker 10: and some of the you, know some of those guys
- 1:11:03Speaker 10: are some of the biggest guys in the, class Including
- 1:11:06Speaker 10: Cody green at five star offensive tackle out Of Southern.
- 1:11:09Speaker 10: California he's a local kid that went that moved down
- 1:11:11Speaker 10: to modern day kind of that legendary program down. There
- 1:11:15Speaker 10: he's we're still waiting on him to. Sign he's going
- 1:11:17Speaker 10: to sign a little later this. Morning Brian, bonner the
- 1:11:21Speaker 10: big time running back out Of valencia That washington was
- 1:11:24Speaker 10: able to get in the. Class they also have Raj On,
- 1:11:26Speaker 10: duncan who is a cornerback defensive back out of. Mcclemons
- 1:11:31Speaker 10: so we're still kind of waiting on some of. Those another,
- 1:11:33Speaker 10: Ones Jaron, jones who a lot of people are comparing
- 1:11:35Speaker 10: to a guy Like trent, McDuffie Which tusky fans saw
- 1:11:38Speaker 10: Other trent McDuffie out. THERE i think they'd be pretty
- 1:11:40Speaker 10: happy about. That so just ten, Guys i'm not worried
- 1:11:44Speaker 10: about any of, them except for. One Dre. Pollard he's
- 1:11:46Speaker 10: a guy who is kind of deciding Between washington And.
- 1:11:49Speaker 10: Stanford he committed To washington a while. Ago he's out
- 1:11:52Speaker 10: Of Clark High school In Las. Vegas that if you
- 1:11:56Speaker 10: want to talk about breaking, news that's kind of what
- 1:11:58Speaker 10: we're waiting For wade to see what he's. Done and
- 1:12:00Speaker 10: he's kind of gone, dark not really talking to a
- 1:12:02Speaker 10: lot of. People so it's a lot of second and
- 1:12:04Speaker 10: third hand, sources school, sources program, sources and things like.
- 1:12:08Speaker 10: That some people are saying he's locked in With, washington
- 1:12:11Speaker 10: some people are saying he's headed To, danford and then
- 1:12:14Speaker 10: others are saying he hasn't made up his mind, Yet
- 1:12:16Speaker 10: so it's kind of it's kind of those crazy pre
- 1:12:20Speaker 10: draft information that guys like Melk hyper guys you know
- 1:12:24Speaker 10: that that followed the draft so closely get and and
- 1:12:28Speaker 10: you just have to kind of sort through it and
- 1:12:30Speaker 10: figure out what's real and what.
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: Isn't where's all the local talent this, Year, scott where's
- 1:12:35Speaker 3: The washington high school? Talent BECAUSE i mean there are
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: various lists out there and the players are few and
- 1:12:41Speaker 3: far between this particular recruiting year coming out of the
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: state Of, washington and it felt to me, Like, man
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: the state Of washington high school.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: Football had been on a role.
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: Here, hell we practically Handed ohio state and national championship
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: here last. Year so has this just been a year
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: for high school talent here In?
- 1:13:02Speaker 10: Washington, WELL i, Mean washington does have four local guys
- 1:13:08Speaker 10: committed to, Them Tom malou out Of Annie. Wright it's
- 1:13:11Speaker 10: only in their second year as a with a football.
- 1:13:13Speaker 10: Program they got the top guy in the, State Derek
- 1:13:17Speaker 10: Coleman brus out Of Kennedy. Catholic they also have let's
- 1:13:22Speaker 10: See Audiyong, yang an offensive lineman out of Pull. Up
- 1:13:26Speaker 10: and there's one more THAT i Know i'm forgetting off
- 1:13:29Speaker 10: the top of my, head but you, know they've got several.
- 1:13:33Speaker 10: Guys oh Ramzak, froun who just committed out Of Bethel High.
- 1:13:36Speaker 10: School he Was adrius Rainey sala's teammate down At Bethel High.
- 1:13:40Speaker 10: School down there and span, away so you, know they
- 1:13:43Speaker 10: got some of the top guys in the, state but
- 1:13:45Speaker 10: as far as you, know some of The washington offered
- 1:13:48Speaker 10: ten guys IN i think actually it might be eleven
- 1:13:51Speaker 10: guys in the state Of. Washington this pat this this recruiting,
- 1:13:55Speaker 10: cycle but there was only like four or five that
- 1:13:57Speaker 10: they really pursued. Hard another one could be adding his
- 1:14:00Speaker 10: name to the list later this. Week Brendan huffman kind
- 1:14:02Speaker 10: of broke this on our message. BOARD i don't want
- 1:14:04Speaker 10: to take credit for, it But Brendon huffman broke That David,
- 1:14:08Speaker 10: schwerzel a defensive lineman out Of Oday High, school had
- 1:14:13Speaker 10: committed TO, ucla flipped To stanford when THE ucla situation
- 1:14:17Speaker 10: happened and they fired To Shaun, foster and then recommitted TO.
- 1:14:21Speaker 10: UCLA i think it Was, Monday it might have been,
- 1:14:23Speaker 10: yesterday but definitely On monday or yesterday that he recommitted TO.
- 1:14:28Speaker 10: Ucla and now things are back open and it sounds
- 1:14:30Speaker 10: Like washington has a good chance of reeling him. In
- 1:14:33Speaker 10: but it might not happen. Today it might happen either
- 1:14:35Speaker 10: tomorrow Or. Friday so you, know we'll just have to
- 1:14:39Speaker 10: wait and. See on. That but as far as you,
- 1:14:41Speaker 10: know do we have guys on the caliber of The
- 1:14:43Speaker 10: mecca At A buka and uh and the other Guy
- 1:14:48Speaker 10: i'm totally DoD who had Moloaw so, yeah those. Guys
- 1:14:53Speaker 10: there just haven't been guys on that level, yet you,
- 1:14:57Speaker 10: know in the last couple of. Years Now derek Hole
- 1:15:00Speaker 10: brusa has that. Potential BUT i mean he's he's a
- 1:15:04Speaker 10: legit six, five two hundred and seventy five pounds and
- 1:15:08Speaker 10: he's gonna play defensive end defensive tackle For. Washington he's
- 1:15:11Speaker 10: a lot LIKE jt Twa mala and a lot of
- 1:15:13Speaker 10: what he does might not be quite on that elite,
- 1:15:16Speaker 10: athleticism you know level, yet but he's pretty close and
- 1:15:21Speaker 10: not far. Away but you, know there just hasn't been
- 1:15:24Speaker 10: the same kind of five star talent to come out
- 1:15:26Speaker 10: of the state and if there. Did if there had,
- 1:15:29Speaker 10: Been washington would be competing with everybody in the country
- 1:15:32Speaker 10: like they did With Derek Coleman, brusa but they would
- 1:15:34Speaker 10: be doing it for multiple guys instead of Just Coleman.
- 1:15:37Speaker 10: Brusa so THAT i, mean you, know it isn't a bad,
- 1:15:41Speaker 10: class AND i think the depth of the class is
- 1:15:44Speaker 10: pretty good because there's a lot of guys who are
- 1:15:45Speaker 10: signing with power forward, programs but right Now washington turned
- 1:15:50Speaker 10: their focus to about five or six key guys and
- 1:15:53Speaker 10: those are the ones who are signing with.
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: Them Scott eckland is with us cover in high school
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: recruits on twenty four to seven at Dog man and
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: twenty four to seven sports Dot com as, well and
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: he's joining us here On chuck And buck in The,
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: morning says he always does on The National Signing day
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: His christmas as we talk About washington recruiting and just
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: overall national, recruiting because let's face, it we're in a
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: transition period in a lot of ways in college. Football,
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: SCOTT i, mean this day has changed for, you for,
- 1:16:23Speaker 3: players for, coaches for staffs. Everywhere AND i MEAN i
- 1:16:28Speaker 3: JUST i look at the top three hundred and you've
- 1:16:31Speaker 3: got a guy going To. Maryland for, goodness say When
- 1:16:34Speaker 3: maryland ever get a top ten. Recruit we saw guys
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: flip From georgia To vanderbilt. YESTERDAY i, mean things are,
- 1:16:42Speaker 3: weird things are, different and maybe. GOOD i don't, know
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: how do you feel about it as somebody that has
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: loved this recruiting process your entire?
- 1:16:50Speaker 10: Life, WELL i don't love the direction things are going.
- 1:16:56Speaker 10: NOW i will SAY i do like the fact that
- 1:16:58Speaker 10: the blue blood, programs the you, know top ten programs
- 1:17:02Speaker 10: in the. Country that's schools Like, oregon and you, know
- 1:17:07Speaker 10: from a marketing, standpoint they haven't been a top ten
- 1:17:10Speaker 10: program from a win, standpoint but they seem to always
- 1:17:14Speaker 10: be in that, group in that top ten, group especially
- 1:17:17Speaker 10: on the recruiting. Trail but schools Like, oregon school schools
- 1:17:21Speaker 10: Like Ohio, State, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, michigan schools like
- 1:17:28Speaker 10: that are having to battle a lot harder with these
- 1:17:31Speaker 10: up and coming, programs is What i'd like to call,
- 1:17:33Speaker 10: them you, know or programs that have a good reputation
- 1:17:37Speaker 10: they might just not be they might be right on
- 1:17:39Speaker 10: that outside of the of the blue blood program kind of. Situations,
- 1:17:43Speaker 10: so you, KNOW nil has obviously changed a lot of.
- 1:17:46Speaker 10: That the fact that kids can transfer all over the,
- 1:17:48Speaker 10: PLACE i mean one of the things THAT i, THINK
- 1:17:51Speaker 10: i mean that they've got to figure out a way
- 1:17:52Speaker 10: to do in an equitable, way BECAUSE i don't think
- 1:17:55Speaker 10: players shouldn't have the ability to move around if the
- 1:17:58Speaker 10: coach that they signed with, leaves because you go to
- 1:18:01Speaker 10: a job guess what you have To you have to
- 1:18:04Speaker 10: either stick it out or you can leave if you
- 1:18:07Speaker 10: don't want to work for the people that are that
- 1:18:09Speaker 10: own that. Business and same with with. Colleges you, know
- 1:18:12Speaker 10: if a kid's go into a school and things just
- 1:18:14Speaker 10: aren't working out there for whatever, reason he should be
- 1:18:17Speaker 10: able to. Leave but we're not going to let players do.
- 1:18:20Speaker 10: That SO i don't know how to do. It people
- 1:18:23Speaker 10: a lot smarter than me have to figure this. Out
- 1:18:25Speaker 10: but the problem is the fan bases have no buy
- 1:18:28Speaker 10: in on with a lot of these kids because they
- 1:18:30Speaker 10: know that the Second jedfish decides to go to AN
- 1:18:35Speaker 10: nfl program for a you, know as a take a
- 1:18:38Speaker 10: job with AN nfl, team or they know, that you,
- 1:18:41Speaker 10: know THE usc fans know That Lincoln riley could be
- 1:18:43Speaker 10: looking somewhere, else or Or Ryan day or you, know
- 1:18:46Speaker 10: all these coaches that either could get fired or could
- 1:18:49Speaker 10: leave for greener. Pastures those kids can just jump right
- 1:18:53Speaker 10: into the. Portal and so that's why a lot of
- 1:18:55Speaker 10: these coaches are advocating for the portal not to open
- 1:18:57Speaker 10: until after, springball even for kids whose coaches. Left that, way,
- 1:19:03Speaker 10: hey they get a chance to be recruited by the new,
- 1:19:06Speaker 10: staff and they also get a chance to work with
- 1:19:09Speaker 10: them during spring football and then they can make an
- 1:19:12Speaker 10: educated decision instead of these snap judgments that these kids
- 1:19:15Speaker 10: make that they have to make because they only get
- 1:19:18Speaker 10: like a five or fifteen day window whatever it is
- 1:19:20Speaker 10: to make that. Decision SO i think the luster is
- 1:19:25Speaker 10: a little bit off of signing day like that compared
- 1:19:28Speaker 10: to what it used to, be just because a lot
- 1:19:30Speaker 10: of fans don't have that buy in with these guys
- 1:19:32Speaker 10: because they know they could leave at the drop of a.
- 1:19:34Speaker 10: Hat but you, know it's still an important building process
- 1:19:38Speaker 10: For washington and all these other, programs and so a
- 1:19:42Speaker 10: lot of fans are still bought. IN i think they
- 1:19:44Speaker 10: just aren't quite as bought in as they were.
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: Before there is the potential for my favorite sports story
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: of the, year and it could go down. Today it
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: might be happening right before our. Eyes i'm sure you
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: know more about this THAN i, do and SO i
- 1:19:57Speaker 3: do want to get your take on. It but the
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: number one over all prospect in the, country not in every,
- 1:20:02Speaker 3: Circle i'm, sure but in a lot of circles is
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: Lsu Pledge Lamar. Brown and the story today is that
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: maybe he's not going to sign WITH. Lsu so there
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: is a chance that this kid out Of mississippi And Lane,
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: kiffin who had to Leave ole miss just to get
- 1:20:22Speaker 3: THE lsu in time for today so that he didn't lose,
- 1:20:25Speaker 3: recruits might lose the best recruit in the. Country and believe, Me,
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: SCOTT i would like nothing more in the world than
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: if we found out in an hour Lamar Or brown
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: is signing With ole miss and the whole reason he
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: was leaving the state to begin with is because he
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: Hated Lane kiffin's.
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: Guts that would be, Amazing.
- 1:20:43Speaker 10: Scott, yeah, WELL i, mean you, Know Lane kiffin is
- 1:20:48Speaker 10: is a lightning. Ride, definitely he draws. It he doesn't
- 1:20:52Speaker 10: shrink away from, it and you know he can be
- 1:20:55Speaker 10: entertaining at, times but there's other times when you're just shut,
- 1:20:57Speaker 10: up just do you know. Whatever AND i don't know
- 1:21:00Speaker 10: if you've seen the tweets from from some of his
- 1:21:03Speaker 10: former players that are out there that where he, said you,
- 1:21:06Speaker 10: know the team asked me to, stay but the school
- 1:21:09Speaker 10: wouldn't let. Me and the players, like, yeah that isn't
- 1:21:11Speaker 10: what you said in your meeting with, us and nobody
- 1:21:14Speaker 10: nobody said that to, us are to, you, nobody none
- 1:21:18Speaker 10: of us said that you they wanted you to stay in,
- 1:21:20Speaker 10: coach so you, KNOW i mean that's just kind of
- 1:21:24Speaker 10: who he is and you know that going. In but,
- 1:21:28Speaker 10: YEAH i mean it's happened a. LOT i, mean, dude
- 1:21:31Speaker 10: this is the least craziest thing that could happen on signing.
- 1:21:33Speaker 10: Day there was one where a kid faxed in his
- 1:21:38Speaker 10: letter of intent upside down to the school that he
- 1:21:40Speaker 10: had pledged, to and then they sent it. Back they, said,
- 1:21:44Speaker 10: hey you need to turn it over and send it
- 1:21:46Speaker 10: this is when they sent facts by the. Way you
- 1:21:49Speaker 10: need to you need to send it back to us face.
- 1:21:51Speaker 10: Up and so he, said, OKAY i, will and then
- 1:21:53Speaker 10: he faxed it Into Ohio state so to a different.
- 1:21:56Speaker 10: School there's another one where a mom wouldn't refuse to
- 1:22:00Speaker 10: sign and ran away with the letter of, intent wouldn't
- 1:22:04Speaker 10: let the kids. Sign so trust, me there's as crazy
- 1:22:08Speaker 10: as it, sounds what the scenario you mapped. Out and
- 1:22:12Speaker 10: don't get me, wrong it's still, crazy but it doesn't
- 1:22:16Speaker 10: even it is even in a realm of what could
- 1:22:18Speaker 10: be crazy on finding.
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: Day Scott ecklin is whether it's he's seen a signing
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: day or two from a dog man joining us here
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: to talk about what you dub is doing, primarily and
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: so let's go back to that to finish out the.
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: CONVERSATION i, Mean i'm seeing top twenty that good with.
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: You do you like this class For? Jedfish is it
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: another example of a step in the right direction for
- 1:22:41Speaker 3: building this?
- 1:22:41Speaker 10: Program, well it is top, twenty but it's actually top.
- 1:22:46Speaker 10: Thirteen it's number thirteen in the. Country so the scary
- 1:22:50Speaker 10: thing is it is the fifth best class in The Big,
- 1:22:53Speaker 10: ten and in The Big ten has five of the top,
- 1:22:59Speaker 10: thirteen and at THE sec has six of the top
- 1:23:02Speaker 10: thirteen in the. Country so that means there's only two
- 1:23:06Speaker 10: programs and That's Notre dame And miami that have better
- 1:23:10Speaker 10: classes that aren't in one of the big two. Conferences
- 1:23:15Speaker 10: so it just shows you how how a lot of
- 1:23:19Speaker 10: as much as we might say things have kind of opened,
- 1:23:21Speaker 10: up the talent level is still going to the top
- 1:23:24Speaker 10: two conferences in the, country in the in The Big
- 1:23:28Speaker 10: ten and THE. Sec so but, no as far As
- 1:23:31Speaker 10: washington love the, CLASS i mean they've got they got
- 1:23:34Speaker 10: the best guy from the state Of. Washington they got
- 1:23:36Speaker 10: two of the three best from the state Of. Nevada
- 1:23:42Speaker 10: In Gavin day of the safety out Of Faith, lutheran
- 1:23:45Speaker 10: and Then Dominic, kerris one of the top linemen on
- 1:23:48Speaker 10: their board of six eight three and fifty pounds offensive.
- 1:23:52Speaker 10: Tackle they, got they've got some good running, Backs they've
- 1:23:55Speaker 10: got a heck of a wide receiver. Class And Mason
- 1:23:57Speaker 10: james out Of Norman north In, Oklahoma, Uh Blaze lavisa
- 1:24:02Speaker 10: out Of. Illinois and then they got the two guys
- 1:24:05Speaker 10: you know we. Met we talked About Trey davis. Earlier
- 1:24:08Speaker 10: we didn't even Mention Jordan, clay who might be the
- 1:24:10Speaker 10: biggest get of the, four and he committed To washington.
- 1:24:14Speaker 10: Yesterday he flipped his commitment From baylor To. Washington he's
- 1:24:18Speaker 10: out Of Texas San, antonio man uh memor U San antonio.
- 1:24:22Speaker 10: Something he's out Of San antonio so. Uh, anyway he's
- 1:24:25Speaker 10: had a he's had a program down. There So washington
- 1:24:29Speaker 10: has one of the best wide receiver. Classes he's six,
- 1:24:32Speaker 10: three two hundred. Pounds Blaise lavisa is about. Six you
- 1:24:37Speaker 10: also Have Mason, james who's a little on the smaller.
- 1:24:39Speaker 10: Side he's more of like your slot. Receiver and then
- 1:24:42Speaker 10: you Got Trey, davis who can do a bunch of
- 1:24:44Speaker 10: different things for. You so they're wide receiver. CLASSES i
- 1:24:47Speaker 10: don't want to say it's second to, none but it's
- 1:24:49Speaker 10: it's pretty darn. Good and then you got a really
- 1:24:52Speaker 10: good defensive back class In Casani, Giles Gavin, day WHO
- 1:24:56Speaker 10: i already, Mentioned you Got Jaron. Jones, uh you got
- 1:25:00Speaker 10: some big time. Guys two more other big time guys
- 1:25:02Speaker 10: in the class from that are defensive. Back so it's
- 1:25:05Speaker 10: a really, good solid overall. Class the defensive line is
- 1:25:09Speaker 10: really picked up from a recruiting standpoint over the last
- 1:25:12Speaker 10: couple of, weeks and Getting David schwerzel just add another
- 1:25:15Speaker 10: great piece if they do end up getting him by
- 1:25:17Speaker 10: the end of the. Week so just a good overall
- 1:25:21Speaker 10: building class and something That jedfish can. Go, okay now
- 1:25:25Speaker 10: we can turn to the portal see how many guys
- 1:25:27Speaker 10: of ours are deciding to leave and how we need
- 1:25:29Speaker 10: to fill in things because they're losing there's two starting,
- 1:25:32Speaker 10: corners they're losing five or six defensive lineman from the.
- 1:25:36Speaker 10: Rotation they're losing two of their offensive linemen to graduation
- 1:25:43Speaker 10: And Garon hatchett And Carver, willis so they've got some
- 1:25:46Speaker 10: work to do to fill in some. Holes but the
- 1:25:49Speaker 10: talent level is definitely building For.
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: Washington, excellent, excellent.

- 1:28:25Speaker 2: Weeks, Yeah i'm.
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: WONDERING i Guess bucky ate turkey for like sixteen straight
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: meals and he loved every second of. It so he's
- 1:28:35Speaker 3: not one that complains about.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: Leftovers.
- 1:28:37Speaker 15: Ol, no nothing wrong with some leftover turkey for turkey.
- 1:28:41Speaker 11: Sandwiches all.
- 1:28:43Speaker 3: Right, well we've got an issue with this kracking team
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: all of a sudden this.
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: Year AND i realize you go through.
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: Hot and cold, spells and So i'm not so worried
- 1:28:51Speaker 3: about a three game losing streak at this point in the.
- 1:28:54Speaker 3: Year but SHOULD i be worried about a power play
- 1:28:57Speaker 3: that suddenly has gone ice ice?
- 1:29:00Speaker 12: Out?
- 1:29:02Speaker 15: YEAH i mean it's tough to put a put your
- 1:29:05Speaker 15: finger on what's going. ON i will, say you, know
- 1:29:07Speaker 15: you're coming off of a few games with teams with
- 1:29:10Speaker 15: fantastic special teams. Groups now that's not an excuse because
- 1:29:15Speaker 15: you're going to face those throughout the. Season BUT i
- 1:29:18Speaker 15: think this team is just looking for that right combination
- 1:29:22Speaker 15: of guys that right to set up in the offensive zone.
- 1:29:26Speaker 15: There you, KNOW i started counting shot attemps last games
- 1:29:30Speaker 15: on the power, play and it's not like they're only
- 1:29:33Speaker 15: getting one or two shot. Attemps they're attempting to put
- 1:29:35Speaker 15: the puck on, net but for whatever, reason it's missing the,
- 1:29:38Speaker 15: net it's getting, blocked it's getting deflected up over the,
- 1:29:42Speaker 15: glass and so the shot attempts are. There they've got
- 1:29:45Speaker 15: to find ways to get the puck, through AND i
- 1:29:48Speaker 15: think a little more traffic in front and you'll start
- 1:29:50Speaker 15: seeing more of these goals either going off of deflections
- 1:29:53Speaker 15: that are intentional by it by cracking, players or they'll
- 1:29:56Speaker 15: create secondary chances that then cracking players can pick up
- 1:30:00Speaker 15: and find the rebounds.
- 1:30:01Speaker 3: On, well let's play a little armchair Lane lambert. HERE i,
- 1:30:04Speaker 3: mean what kind of combination would you like to see
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: him try to maybe unlock this. Thing who are some
- 1:30:11Speaker 3: players that you think could possibly create some chemistry there
- 1:30:16Speaker 3: on the power?
- 1:30:17Speaker 12: Play, WELL i.
- 1:30:18Speaker 15: Think there's a couple of parts to that. Answer number one,
- 1:30:21Speaker 15: is you, know on the, downside you've Lost Jaden schwartz
- 1:30:25Speaker 15: for a period of time and he was a key
- 1:30:27Speaker 15: part of the power. Play but it creates opportunities for.
- 1:30:29Speaker 15: Others so If I'm Lane, Lambert i'm obviously excited to
- 1:30:32Speaker 15: Have jared McCann. Back he's been back for a couple
- 1:30:36Speaker 15: of games so. Far he's obviously a part of that
- 1:30:38Speaker 15: power play and can have a big impact on. It
- 1:30:41Speaker 15: so if we, say, like for, like Maybe schwartz And
- 1:30:45Speaker 15: jared McCann, are you, know balance each other? Out you know,
- 1:30:50Speaker 15: what one takes it, down one brings it, up and you,
- 1:30:52Speaker 15: think well who else could be out? There, well because
- 1:30:55Speaker 15: Of Jaden schwartz being, injured you're Giving berkeley to cat
- 1:30:58Speaker 15: in a chance on the power play as. Well he
- 1:31:00Speaker 15: hasn't scored a goal, yet BUT i see it so,
- 1:31:03Speaker 15: coming so, close AND i think that you, know one
- 1:31:06Speaker 15: of the Things Lane lamberte said yesterday is you know
- 1:31:08Speaker 15: he wants to. Packey you, know he's so, close AND
- 1:31:11Speaker 15: i think once he starts gets his first, one they'll
- 1:31:13Speaker 15: start coming in. Bunches so Between jared mccanby and back
- 1:31:17Speaker 15: and the opportunity For Berkeley catton to get in and
- 1:31:20Speaker 15: a couple of games with these guys getting some power
- 1:31:23Speaker 15: play time under their, BELTS i think you'll start to
- 1:31:25Speaker 15: see that percentage start to inch back.
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: Up how long Is schwartz going to be? Out what
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: are you?
- 1:31:30Speaker 15: Hearing, yeah we're hearing four to six. Weeks and it's, Crazy,
- 1:31:34Speaker 15: chuck because this season we're hearing about so many injuries
- 1:31:38Speaker 15: and it's Not, hey you know he's going to be
- 1:31:40Speaker 15: out for a few days or a, week and you
- 1:31:42Speaker 15: know it's it's four to six weeks or in some
- 1:31:45Speaker 15: cases it's. Months you, Know, like the injuries are real this.
- 1:31:48Speaker 15: Season AND i don't know if it's the compressed schedule
- 1:31:51Speaker 15: that's causing. This i'm sure somebody's going to do some
- 1:31:54Speaker 15: research and figure out how many you, know injuries called
- 1:31:59Speaker 15: them low mid in the high.
- 1:32:00Speaker 11: Level you, know, days, weeks and.
- 1:32:02Speaker 15: Months have happened in the first twenty four games this
- 1:32:05Speaker 15: season versus last, season this season, before but it feels
- 1:32:08Speaker 15: like it's. Higher so, yeah that's what we're hearing. About
- 1:32:11Speaker 15: Jayden schwartz is four to six weeks and you, know
- 1:32:14Speaker 15: we probably won't see him back on the ice Until.
- 1:32:17Speaker 3: January Al kaniskius WITH us our color Analysts husky ex
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: see Me. HUSKIES i was looking at A huskies read, yeah,
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: yeah A husky, fan but crack and analysts and he
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: joins us Every wednesday at this, toime deeks to The
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: Queen Anne Beer, hall home of the legendary Smash, burger
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: and your pre post and away game at. Headquarters, well
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: get back at action. Tomorrow maybe a little extra rest will,
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: help but certainly the opponent doesn't. Help this is a
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: team And edmonton that we know is one of the
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: most talented in all of The National Hockey league and
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: they just beat You ford to ford a squat the
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: last time you played. Them so not exactly the easiest
- 1:32:57Speaker 3: team to get back on the horse.
- 1:32:59Speaker 15: With, no it's, not But i'll tell you. Check the
- 1:33:03Speaker 15: team has had four days of, practice and if you
- 1:33:05Speaker 15: look at the, schedule other than maybe The olympic, break
- 1:33:09Speaker 15: there isn't a break where you get that much time
- 1:33:11Speaker 15: to work on your. Game AND i think it's been
- 1:33:13Speaker 15: a good opportunity for the guys, to LIKE i, said
- 1:33:16Speaker 15: get through That thanksgiving, break have four days of, practice
- 1:33:19Speaker 15: look at, film look at what went wrong in that
- 1:33:22Speaker 15: Last edmonton, game and then roll Into edmonton tomorrow with
- 1:33:25Speaker 15: a bit of a chip on their. Shoulder AND i
- 1:33:28Speaker 15: think you're going to see that in this, game whether
- 1:33:30Speaker 15: it be the physicality of the, game whether it be
- 1:33:33Speaker 15: the intensity of the. GAME i think the guys are
- 1:33:35Speaker 15: a little annoyed of how things went last, game and
- 1:33:39Speaker 15: you're going to see a very different. Outcome at least
- 1:33:41Speaker 15: that's WHAT i.
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: Believe is this offensive thing just going to be an
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: issue all year? Long it certainly was last. Year we
- 1:33:47Speaker 3: didn't win as many one goal games a year. Ago
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: the defense didn't seem to be quite as sharp as
- 1:33:54Speaker 3: it was the previous.
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: Season and SO i, mean.
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: Is this offensive thing we were feeling earlier in the
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: year like maybe that that issue had been solved a little?
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: Bit are you what.
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: Is your long term expectation of whether or not we've
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: got the offensive pieces for this not to become a.
- 1:34:12Speaker 15: Problem you, Know, CHUCK i went to The seahawk game On,
- 1:34:15Speaker 15: sunday AND i think after the fourth field goal and defensive,
- 1:34:19Speaker 15: TOUCHDOWN i, thought does this team not know how to score?
- 1:34:23Speaker 15: Touchdowns they end up winning, it they end up shutting
- 1:34:26Speaker 15: out you, know their opponent in The Detroit. Lions it's, like, well,
- 1:34:30Speaker 15: wait a second defense does matter? Here and you, know
- 1:34:33Speaker 15: there are other ways to win football. Games AND i
- 1:34:35Speaker 15: think that's what The kraken are dealing with this, season
- 1:34:37Speaker 15: is they're recognizing that scoring isn't necessarily an, issue as you,
- 1:34:42Speaker 15: say it's just that defense is the priority and keeping the,
- 1:34:46Speaker 15: opposition you, know with goals against low enough where you
- 1:34:51Speaker 15: stay in the game for as long as, possible and
- 1:34:54Speaker 15: then taking advantage of your opportunities when you get. Them,
- 1:34:57Speaker 15: now part of the part of those, opportunities see is
- 1:35:00Speaker 15: the power. Play you have to take advantage of, those
- 1:35:02Speaker 15: because that's your chance to get on the board if
- 1:35:05Speaker 15: you're keeping the opposition at two, goals at three, goals
- 1:35:08Speaker 15: at one. Whatever BUT i think you're not going to
- 1:35:11Speaker 15: see a lot of games from this team where they
- 1:35:13Speaker 15: win six nothing in whatever city or against whatever team they're.
- 1:35:17Speaker 15: Playing it's going to be a lot of four to two,
- 1:35:19Speaker 15: wins three to one, wins three two. Wins and you,
- 1:35:22Speaker 15: know from a player's, Perspective i'm okay with. That you,
- 1:35:25Speaker 15: know sometimes the fans don't like. It they want to
- 1:35:27Speaker 15: see a lot of, Goals but at the end of the,
- 1:35:28Speaker 15: day the players just want to know what's the strategy
- 1:35:32Speaker 15: on how to win hockey. Games and if it's a
- 1:35:34Speaker 15: defense first, mentality then you've got all twenty guys pulling
- 1:35:37Speaker 15: in the same. Direction they'll go out and do.
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: It just win, Baby just win, Baby that's what it's all.
