10-26 H2: Gregg Bell Joins, Fact or Fiction & Mic On The Mic · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Hey, great Monday morning to you all.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: It is Chuck Anders and Christopher Good with you here
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: on this Monday morning. Monday morning quarterback session with Hugh
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Millen is coming your way today from 8 to 940.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Coming up here in about five minutes, our Seahawks insider
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell will be joining us. We'll get his thoughts
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: on last night's incredible, just outstanding performance. From your Seattle
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Seahawks 20-3 Sunday night football dominating win over an undefeated
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: team in the Kansas City Chiefs. They rolled in at
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: 5-0 last night and were just stymied in every single way.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't get that turnover at the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: end of the first.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Half, you know. Might have been worse. Yeah, it's even
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: uglier up on the scoreboard, and it was ugly enough.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: for the Chiefs.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: So the Seahawks improve to 4-3 on the year and
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get ready to host the Chicago Bears in another grand
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: stage against another top team in the National Football League
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with all sorts of hype surrounding them. And so we
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: count down the days until next Monday Night Football. Let's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: get to your headlines first. They are brought to you
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: by Coors Light Cold as the Rockies. There'll be a
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Monday night football game tonight. Two and four teams. Dallas
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: will be at Philadelphia. I don't know if it's a
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: must win considering the NFC looks so weak at this point,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: but let's face it. Philadelphia through injuries and Dallas just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: through ineptitude. They need to get their ship turned in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the right direction. So it does feel like a pretty
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: big game for them on Monday Night Football. And who knows, Anders,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: maybe we'll see Troy Aikman and Joe Buck fist fight.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That would be great. On live television. Must see TV
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: if that happens.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think Joe would stand a much of a chance.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Probably not. Probably not. Troy Aikman has pretty big hands.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Pretty big just in general. In general, yeah. He's a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: big dude. And athletic and not some doughy turd.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Do you think Joe Buck would narrate the entire sequence
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: if it happens?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: He might. I would love to hear that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: If he can narrate his ass kicking on national television,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I think that would be epic, actually.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Perfect. That's the only thing that he can do in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that moment.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Is try to get a bunch of clicks.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: 49ers Chiefs both fall from the ranks of the unbeaten
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: as the 49ers lost to Michael Penix and the Atlanta
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Falcons yesterday. 29-20 was the final score in that one.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So the 49ers, they have bled this season.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: May have lost another key player.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, that wide receiver group is just not the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: same without Mike Evans. And that running back room ain't
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: going to be the same without Christian McCaffrey if he's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: got another one of those serious.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: McCaffrey calf injuries. McCaffrey calf.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: He's famous for them.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So, yes, 49ers do lose their first game of the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: year yesterday to the Falcons. College football, BYU and Texas
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Tech both lost over the weekend for the first time.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: So another shakeup in the college football poll. Number one
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: remains Miami. And now we have a number two team. Still, what,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a third of the season remaining? More than a third
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of the season remaining. And the number two team in
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: America has a loss.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Pretty early for that. I mean, there are a few
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: other undefeated teams out there. UCLA is still undefeated, as
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: an example. But for the number two ranked team at
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: this point in the season, before Halloween... To have a loss,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that's pretty unusual. World Series resumes tonight. Milwaukee Brewers are
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: up 2-0 on the Tampa Bay Rays. Brewers are just
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: on fire, even when they fall behind 4-0, as they
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: did in Game 2 in the very first inning. They
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: did not panic. They just chipped away. They scored those
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: two runs in the bottom of the first, Anders, and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I could hear in the background the Rocky music starting
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: because that's basically the... best moment of the movie rocky
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: was is.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: After that first round where balboa hurts and knocks down
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: apollo creed yeah and then creed stands up and the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: music starts and you can see like creed realizing for
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the first time oh this ain't gonna be easy yeah
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: uh yeah and that music starts and that music is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: everything in that moment i could hear that music in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the background when the brewers like flopped back in the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: bottom of the first with two runs, and it was like, oh,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: it's on. Oh, it's on. It's on again. You're not
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: just going to easily even this one up, Tampa.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Rocco Baldelli is pulled out of the Mariners' managerial search.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It's worth a discussion, certainly.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Might not be able to have that until tomorrow's program,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: but it could mean something, could mean nothing. Could be
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: just what it says on its surface, that Baldelli is
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: just not wanting to move across country with his family.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And may not want to manage this upcoming year.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: WNBA Game 5 tonight will be in Golden State. That
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: series is even at two games apiece. Kraken won't play
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: again until Wednesday after their 5-1 loss to Minnesota Saturday night.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: They also lost Jared McCann as well. He is going
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: to be out for up to 10 weeks. So that's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: big for the Kraken. Something we'll talk about with Everett tomorrow.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Joining us now, though, on the program is our Seahawks insider, Mr.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell.

• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Hi greg good morning good morning to you happy monday
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: how about that was that not a show what a
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: show the seahawks put on last night mr.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Bell yeah they i took the under 75 yards for
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker, he could have been under 40. I could
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: have been right at two.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He didn't get half that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Among all the impressive things and players, I thought obviously
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jigba, everyone saw that. The Chiefs wouldn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: stay out of man coverage and press coverage. They kept
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: doing it. Sam Donahue would check that Smith and Jigba.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Third downs, the touchdown on third and nine, another check.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: It was almost like it was an automatic. They had
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: an automatic that, hey, if we see a corner pressed
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: up close– And we think that's man outside, even with
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: the safety over the top. Let's throw it. And then
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: on touchdown, he threw it on one step. And most
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: of those third down completions in the first half, he
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: didn't look anywhere else but Smith and Jigler. That's how
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: decisive they were about the man press coverage and going
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: to number 11. The touchdown, he just threw it so
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: quickly on one step that the safety couldn't even get
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: over in time from the middle of the field. But
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: to me, Nick Emanwuri was by far and away the
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: most impressive player on the field. And it started right away,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: and it started at every level of defense that we
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: always talk about. He was in a four-point stance at
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: the defensive end. He was an outside linebacker. He was
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: an inside linebacker, Sam. He was the big nickel, moved
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: up to the second level. And he was a safety
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: dropping into coverage into the slot. He's basically a slot corner.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Nicky Moore was so good that Mike McDonald had the
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Seahawks in nickel and dime for every one of the
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: 50 snaps on defense last night. Every one of them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: And Patrick Mahomes had the fewest points he's ever had
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: in 153 career starts for the Chiefs. Fewest first downs
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: of the Mahomes era, 111. He had just 11 first downs,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: just the three points. Fourth time in Mahomes' career that
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the Chiefs did not score a touchdown when he was
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: starting a game. And he began starting in 2017. It was,
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Imanwuri's show was incredible. There were three plays in the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: first half in particular, and a span of about a
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: half dozen or so plays that were otherworldly. A third
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: and one, Imanwuri was able to hold the edge on
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a sprint out by Mahomes. Mahomes usually just walks for
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: the first down on that type of a play. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Imanwuri held the edge enough that Mahomes was dissuaded from running,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: so Mahomes was going to throw it. And his primary
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: target was Kenneth Walker in the flat. Imanwuri was fast
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: enough to get out on the flat after holding the
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: edge in the same play. And that bought time for
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: DeMarcus Lawrence to force Mahomes into a bad incompletion. They
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: did convert on fourth and one when Walker ran away
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: from Imanwuri between the guards for the first time. But
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: then a couple plays later was the interception when Imanwuri,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I think most of you all saw on television, what
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: we could see in the press box, Emo Worry was
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: a Sam inside linebacker in that play, and he told
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: me after the game his responsibility in that play was
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: an inside A-gap blitz. An A-gap blitz on a bootleg
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: is supposed to be a big play for the offense.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Mahomes was going to run outside that blitz and easily
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: beat the blitzer. Well, Emo Worry was past the center and,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: in fact, was past the right hash mark, and he
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: chased Mahomes down outside the left hash mark. He ran
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: all the way across the backfield and ran Mahomes down
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: from behind. And on the bench after the plays, teammates
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: were saying, man, nobody does that. Nobody runs down Mahomes.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Even if Mahomes is 10 months away from a knee reconstruction,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: nobody runs him down. Well, Eamon Worry did, and Mahomes
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: was so shocked, he threw in his worst pass of
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: the night. And Ty Okada picked it off because of
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Eamon Worry. And then Eamon Worry lined up in the
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: slot and went about 35 yards, step for step with
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Xavier Worthy, who had a 4-2-1-40, the fastest recorded 40
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: in Combine's history. And Nicky Morey was out there at 6-3-2-20.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: His coverage was so perfect that Mahomes looked like he
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: purposely threw it five yards inside of both of them
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: and complete a throwaway on a fade route. those three
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: plays were like yeah the best three plays i've seen
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: him in worry in his career yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And to have a weapon that can do all of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that just he's just remarkable there's no doubt and it
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: was all on full display um right now one of
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: the talking head shows uh is on in the studio
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: oh and turn that off please well exactly the question
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: that they're asking was it chiefs struggles or Seattle dominance
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: last night and I'm sure they're saying Chiefs struggles I'm
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: sure to me I don't think there's any doubt about
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: it how impressive it is I mean the Chiefs were
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: flying high they had the top running game in the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: National Football League they've got a generational quarterback they've got
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a first ballot Hall of Fame head coach who had
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: two weeks to prepare for for this matchup with Mike McDonald,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and they got dominated. They weren't coming in here struggling.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: They didn't miss Rasheed Rice that much. No, the Seahawks,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the coaches, the players just tore them apart limb from limb.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a mismatch last night on the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: football field, and a credit to Mike McDonald for getting
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: them ready to play in that fashion because I don't
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: think the Chiefs came in here last night, Greg, struggling
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: No, they weren't. They were rolling 5-0. Now, they were
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: missing both of their tackles, and Kansas City made a
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: big deal out of that in the pregame run-up. I'd
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: be careful saying that Andy Reid's a first ballot Hall
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: of Famer.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Because he should be, but Mike Holmgren's not in the
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame. So, be careful.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Well, neither is Bill Belichick.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's true. 36 yards for Kenneth Walker. He had
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: only 19 yards against a seven-man box, and Emo Worry
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: allows them to go seven-man box with two deep safeties.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: In the NFL, you're supposed to run teams out of
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: two deep safeties. If they're going to stay back in
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: shell and be able to cover the deep ball, then
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: you just run the ball. Well, Nick Emo Worry allows
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Julian Love and Ty Okada to stay deep in coverage
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: while coming up and being the hybrid linebacker and stopping
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: the run. Nick Emo Worry... is the reason why they
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: were in Diamond-Nickel, all 50 defensive plays. Nicky Maury is
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: why they stayed in too high shell and nobody could
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: get over the top of them. There's a good point
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: at the end. You mentioned that Mike McDonald had them prepared.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It's becoming apparent. The Super Bowl last year, the playoff
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: opener against San Francisco. When the Seahawks have more than
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: the normal six days between games, Mike McDonald is going
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: to figure out your offense. and absolutely shackle it schematically.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Lee Tarko, early in the season, part of it because
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: Emo Warrior was still coming back from his ankle surgery,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: but they weren't yet the full 2025 nickel and dime galore,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Nick Emo Warrior all over the place defense, right? And
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: they weren't in Washington, and they lost 33-31. Well, they
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: sure were last night. And the team last year that
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: had more nickel and dime than anybody in the league,
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: was 100% nickel and dime because Eamon Worry was the
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: full Nick Eamon Worry experience. You give McDonald more than
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: six days to play an offense, and the chances are
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks are going to win. Again, as long as
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: their offense doesn't give the ball away. And the only
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: time Sam Donald became the Sam Donald of September and
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: early October last night was with seven seconds left in
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: the first half. I know it cost him a touchdown
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: at the end of the half, but if there was
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: ever a time for him to throw an interception– It's
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: when the other team doesn't have but one play and
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: one chance to catch in the scoring position. Guess who
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: ruined that one play at the end of the first
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: half for the Chiefs to try to get a closer
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: field goal? Nicky Manwari. He dumped. They ran a draw.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: And I know Reed thinking draw there because the Seahawks
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: were thinking pass. They ran a draw, and he dumped
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Walker near the line of scrimmage. And that's what forced
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Harrison Buckner to have a 58-yard field goal instead of
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: a closer one. I mean, I could go my whole
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: show today at 10 o'clock about Nicky Manwari for two hours.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with us here on Sports Radio 93.3
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: KJR FM. Complete coverage of last night's 20-3 win available
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: for KJR on the website. And, of course, you can
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: follow him at GBellSeattle. Well, it was Ken Walker night,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and it was Ken Walker week last week for all
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the talk show hosts. And then Ken Walker night. I
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: know you didn't see the broadcast, but trust me, it
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: was all about Ken Walker on the broadcast.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was. And yet, you outgained the Chiefs 5-1.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Tell me that there wasn't a message to get Emmanuel
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Wilson 100 yards rushing there at the end of the game.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I think that was as much for John Schneider as
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: it was for Emmanuel Wilson.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: That's how it felt to me.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, 100 yards. Well, of course, you're up by three scores.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: You're going to close it out with the run game anyway,
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: but yeah. They noticed that, including the 21-yard touchdown where
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: he popped out there. And that was a great– they
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: had three tight ends, two tight ends to the play side.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: And Eric Saubert had a really great crash down block
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: on that touchdown. I mean, he took his guy from
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: the left edge all the way to the center. And,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, Wilson had no choice but to bounce it
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: out left side because nobody was around the left edge
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: because of Eric Saubert, the tight end. In the locker
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: room after the game last night, I made a point
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: of talking to Graves Abel, who I didn't think played
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: it very well against Denver. And I brought that up.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: I said, I don't think you probably thought that was
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: your best game. I'm assuming that. And he kind of
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: chuckled like, man, Denver's got a huge defensive tackle they
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: pay huge money for. Those guys are good, too. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: he said, yes, that having Anthony Bradford back last night
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: helped the offensive line, the continuity, the familiarity. And they
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: took it upon themselves to win the line of scrimmage.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: And they absolutely did last night. No sacks of Sam Darnold,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: just two hits. Remember, Darnold got sacked ten times in
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: the previous two games. We talked all about the offensive
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: line and how much of a factor they have been
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: in all the turnovers from Darnold. Well, they weren't a
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: factor last night. Even this Darnold interception came on one
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: of the few times that Darnold held onto the ball
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: a long time and then made a poor choice in
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: the back of the end zone into three chiefs. In
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: the first half, I bet NBC probably showed this on
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: the broadcast. In the first half, His time to throw, Darnold,
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: was 2.3 seconds in the first half of his 18 throws,
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: 13 completions, 140-some yards in the touchdown to Smith and Jigman.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: That 2.3 seconds in the first half was his quickest
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: time to throw in any game of his career. So
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: obviously Brian Fleury's game plan was, we know the Chiefs
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: are going to press, we know they're going to man,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: and we know they're going to blitz, so let's just
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: get the ball out. And as Darnold said, the plan
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: this week was put the ball in play. meaning he
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: had been holding onto the ball too long, and that's
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: when all the mistakes started happening. The one-step throw for
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: a touchdown to Smith and Jigba was a perfect example
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: of putting the ball in play, just taking a step
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: and lofting the ball 28 yards before the safety can
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: get over and let Smith and Jigba do the rest.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Put the ball in play is probably going to be
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: the mantra for the rest of the season for the offense.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Shahid injury late. What's going on with that?
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: No, nothing more from last night other than he couldn't
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: finish the game. Knee injury, nothing new on Charles Cross's
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: ankle injury. He did come back and start playing on
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: it before they finally took him out in the second half.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: And Velvis Jones Jr. also left the game. I believe
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: it was a hamstring for him. Nothing new from last
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: night after the game. More tests today for them. Of course,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: they have an extra day off now before they play.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: a week from tonight against the Bears at home game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another big one.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Another big stage and another top team in the league.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Walker ran off the field. Didn't go shake hands with
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: his former teammates, friends. Did you catch up to him
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: at all?
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: No, I could only be one Walker at one time,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: so I couldn't get over to the Chiefs because on
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the other side of the field. I saw he talked
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: to the Kansas City Riders. He's like, blank, expletive. They
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: dominated us. I was frustrated. I saw them over there celebrating.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: I didn't want to go over there. Now, to his credit,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: and what people are forgetting, is that it looked like
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: a Kenneth Walker homecoming party at the pregame. He was
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: all over the midfield and talking to the Seahawks and hugging,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: and it's not an acrimony thing at all. It's a
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: competitor who's mad that he got his stuff handed to him.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: His team got three points scored on him. So... It
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: would also look bad for him to go over and
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: yuck it up, because if he goes over there and
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: says something to any of the Seahawks, there's going to
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: be smiles and pats on the back and laughing, right? Yeah.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: And he doesn't want his Chiefs teammates to see that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: So somebody's going to make a big deal out of that,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: but there's absolutely nothing there. He was very popular Mayor
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: McCheese on the field before the game.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: All right, so is it the Nick Eamon-Warry show then
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: at 10 o'clock?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Are you going to commit to.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: That right now? Yeah, pretty much.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I'd be down.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: I'm also going to air... I am going to give
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: love and at least a segment to the line of scrimmage,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: both the offensive and defensive lines. And you'll hear me
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: in my locker room talk with Byron Murphy on the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: key to stopping Walker. It was exactly as Walker, as
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Murphy said it had to be. Get into the backfield
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: and eliminate his rushing lane choices. That's what they did.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: They beat their guys off the snap and eliminated the
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: rushing lane choices. And you had my conversation with Grace
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Abel about his personal bounce back from the Denver game.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Sounds great. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Happy Monday. Thank you. Thanks, Greg.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: And of course, you can hear a show today at
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: 10 o'clock as he just outlined for you a lot
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: more on all of these major topics. And of course,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: we couldn't cover everything that happened last night. There's no
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: time in the day. Hugh Millen will be joining us
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: at 8 o'clock for our Monday morning quarterback session from
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: 8 to 9.40 this morning with our QB1. Coming up next,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: we'll play some Factor Fiction at 7.35 and more on JSN.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Or is it pronounced M-V-P?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Now back to Check in the Morning on your home
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: for the Kraken, Huskies, and the 12th Man. Brought to
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: you by Tulalip Resort Casino. More of everything on Sports
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to play some fact or fiction
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: at 735.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: So just six minutes away from our latest pick.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Did we do okay? Two and three this past week?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: So working ourselves back into contention here. I really thought
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss had them once they rallied all the way
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: back to tie it. And they had a letdown. Yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: they did. Otherwise, we'd be looking at a winning week.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: This week, nice job, kid, getting the Rams right.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: That was a good call. Nailed that one. Ran away
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: and hit on that one. And then you backdoored the
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Commanders last week. I did.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: All right, 7.35, we'll have our latest Fact or Fiction pick.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: All that matters is whether or not you get the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: pick right. And we will choose the Monday Night Football
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: game so that you get to play.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: All right, kid, I haven't heard you weigh in on this.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting here waxing poetic on JSN all morning long.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Uh, look, I don't even like having the MVP conversation
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: this early. I think it's silly.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I think it, yeah, I do. I think it's silly for.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Anybody to be throwing out MVP. I mean, we shouldn't
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: even start that conversation until week 12, week 13. All
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I'm saying is based off of what I had to
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: hear last week, Ken Walker's the MVP so far this year. Um, well,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: our guy JSN has been dominating, uh, the receiving statistics
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: as much as Walker's been dominating the running statistics. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: then on a night where they were on the same
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: field together, one of them was his typical superstar self,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and the other one got bottled up for 14 carries
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: and 36 yards. So if we were on such a
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: tirade last week about Ken Walker's the best player so
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: far this season in the National Football League, well, I
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: would think JSN moved ahead of him, don't you?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go. To your point earlier, our quarterback's probably going
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: to get it. Josh Allen. Probably. You know, those guys.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Niners did just lose.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: They did.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: But Brock is still playing good football. And we know
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen's doing well. But if you take out the quarterback,
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: it's JSN, everybody else. K-9, Bajon, Robinson, those guys.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: It's JSN. He showed it last night.
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: And I know Anderson brought up the point about, oh, yeah, well,
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: the receivers for the Chiefs were missing some guys. Yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: that's true. And the Seahawks dominated. They made it look
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: like those receivers didn't belong on the field.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Because they didn't. But back to K-9, he was... Not K-9,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: back to JSN. Yeah, he... Single coverage.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: I'm like, why is Spaggs putting his rookie corner in
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: that situation? Like, do you not... And he didn't change it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: Do you know who that guy is, number 11 over there?
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I honestly.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Here's why I think he did. I think he did
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that because... that you can't.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Stop him in the zone either. With zone coverage, he
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: finds the gap. He finds the hole every single time.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I think maybe your best chance is to go man-to-man
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: on him.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I would never.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Never? Never.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: I wonder what you would say, because I'm just like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: if anything, double him if you're going to do that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe that.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe they shouldn't have left him on an island out there.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: But if you remember the touchdown pass down in the corner, Collinsworth,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: who's really good, And does his homework, unlike a lot
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: of them.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's all over this stuff.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: But when they lined up and they got to the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and he saw JSN one-on-one over on
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: the left side against Delaney. You heard Collinsworth. Go back
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and listen to it. You heard Collinsworth right before that
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: that snap went off.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Like, uh-oh.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Spags was thinking that?
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: As a defensive quarter, and we know Spags is one
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: of the best. You have to be like, I can't
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: do this to my rookie.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I think that the Spags who knows what he's doing.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I think that, and I call them spags because we're
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: that tight.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that he would say, what else do
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you want me to do? Make somebody else beat you.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I think Chris Collins would probably say that. I don't
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: think that you, I don't think there's anything, there's nothing
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you can take away from the guy. Yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Every... Defense, they try against him. He'll find the holes
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: in your zone. He'll beat your guy one-on-one. If you
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: want to double team him, I don't even think that that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Slows him down. He's one of one right now.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Like, there are a lot of great receivers. So the
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: gap's not enormous between Jamar Chase and JSN or Justin
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Jefferson and JSN.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Puka Nakua, yeah.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Or Puka Nakua. It's one A through one C.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Who I would have told you a year ago I
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: thought Puka was actually better. Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I would say the same thing.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: But right now, JSN got better since last year. He
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: won Offensive Player of the Year. He's better this season. So,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: to me, there is a definitive he's number one. Last year,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you could have gone 1A, 1B, 1C.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Nope.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: He's one, and everyone else is two or lower.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: He has eight touchdowns. He had ten last season. He's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: about to, like, double his touchdown rate. How many yards
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: is he ahead of the second? Over 200. Over 200
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: yards ahead of second place.
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: And second place is Chris Alave, by the way, which
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: is a little surprising. That is surprising to me. He's
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: killing it. He is dominating. When you watch a Saints game,
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: it's like, oh, there's Chris Alave again. Man, it literally
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: is JSN and everybody else.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: He has 200 yards. That's two games.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, that's two good games from a receiver.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: And he is two good games outpacing... The Jamar chases
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: of the world. That dude's fantastic.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know. I mean, it's also got a
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: ring to it. JSN, MVP. JSN, MVP. JSN, MVP.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: We're a long way away from the conversation, and yes,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: for the one guy that had to pick apart my argument. Yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: he's going to have to be on a playoff team
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: by year's end, but I do believe he's going to
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: be on a playoff team by year's end. All right,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: let's play some fact or fiction.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: $ 10, 000 grand prize. It's Fact or Fiction.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3,
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: KJR FM.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I like two different bets from this game tonight, but
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I have to choose one, okay? And I'm going to
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: take under 44 points. In their last two games the
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Cowboys have played, they have scored a combined 29 points.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Combined? Combined.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: 16 against the Buccaneers, 13 against the Packers. And I
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: would argue the Eagles have a better defense than either
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: of those teams. And so with Mitchell and Dajin and
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Carter and the like, So the Cowboys right now offensively,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody picks on their defense, but offensively, they're
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: not clicking right now. And going into Philadelphia on a
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Monday night in a rivalry game against those savages, I
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: don't think that that's a game that you get right on.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Then you've got the Philadelphia angle.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Saquon Barkley looks like he's going to be back,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: but they're obviously down Jalen Hurts. They're still down Devontae Smith.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I think they're down their top two receivers. I think
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Wicks is out for this game as well. So I
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: think this is going to be a really low-scoring affair
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: that Philadelphia keeps close, because that's the angle I would
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: have taken otherwise. But I like the under 44 better.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: So I think we're going to get ourselves, I mean,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: even the Eagles. The Eagles have played, out of six
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: games this year, one game where the combined performance score
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: was over 44 points.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: One game. One out of six. Yeah.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: So they're not clicking offensively. They're beat up. They are
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: good defensively. It's their one element about them that I
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: think is still true that we've diagnosed at the beginning
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: of the year.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And the Cowboys aren't clicking.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how you get right in Philadelphia
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: against this defense on a Monday night football with all
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: of those maniacs screaming at you and calling out your mother.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah sound logic i think it's it's i'm looking at
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: almost solely from the eagle side because i do think
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: i agree i think their defense can dominate still um
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: but i don't think their offense is going to do
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: anything so that alone will get you probably the total
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: under that you need to get to well.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Plus if they do do anything it's going to be
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: a steady run game with barkley turning out three four
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: yards and so that choose clock.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: And that Keeps the Cowboys off the field. That limits
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the offense.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to go under 44 on your Monday
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: night football game tonight. Philadelphia Eagles. and the Dallas Cowboys
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: right here. on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. If you agree
• 29:45

• 30:58
  Speaker 2: on the mic comes your way next on Sports Radio
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KJR FM. I mean, if not for a Sam
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Darnold interception at the end of half.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: It's really the only. thing that I can think of.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: The only blemish yeah I mean I guess you could
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: beat a team a hundred to nothing I suppose that's
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: an improvement but that would require them to be probably
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: really bad and sloppy that probably does draw in the
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: conversation I saw being held by the talking heads this
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: morning that draws in the whether or not there's an
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: angle here did the Chiefs play better the Seahawks play
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: good that whole conversation that is tired and all weak-minded
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: people always have um So, yes. But that's not who
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: you were playing. No, the Seahawks played that well last night.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: And in pretty much every phase of the game. Sam
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Darnold was great last night.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Yes, he was.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: The offensive line.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine Anthony Bradford is what turned it around,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: but hell, let's give him a little bit of credit.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: He shows up. They didn't allow a sack. They ran
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: the ball. They controlled the line of scrimmage.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Against a good defense.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Against a really good defense and an outstanding defensive coordinator. Obviously,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: the defense showed out, allowing just 50 yards rushing in
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the game against the hottest running back in the National
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Football League, and Patrick Mahomes was a deer in headlights there.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: two or three times during the course of the contest,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and you just don't see that guy get... And I
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: don't think he was rattled. Anders, I think what it
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: was was, what the hell am I facing? Where are
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: all these guys coming from? How do I keep getting.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Chased from behind? This is like.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I've got one of those Navajo senses about me, where
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I can tell when people are behind me. I've got
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: peripheral Magic Johnson vision. That's what I have, and yet...
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I got caught behind by Hall. I got caught from
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: behind by Eamon Ward. Where are all these people coming from?
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: He's got 13 guys on the field. Throw a flag, something,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: because there's no way that I should be having this
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: much trouble as accomplished as I am in the national football.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: It's all impressive. Yeah, going into this week, they.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: There was a lot said about they have had a
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: pretty soft schedule their first five weeks.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, you brought that up.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think that was more they haven't faced
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: a really good offense. They faced some really good defenses,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: including the Denver Broncos. I guess you could say the Chargers.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was just the Broncos that I was thinking
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: of that they faced earlier this week or earlier this year, but...
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: That definitely, no matter who you face, the Seahawks are
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: a step up.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Period.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: End of story. It's just they're that much better. He
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: looked like he was caught in a blender, like looking
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: out through the... what is happening? I'm getting ready to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: be frappé.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: And quite literally a deer in headlights. The prototypical expression
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: of that is like, whoa, what am I looking at.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Here?
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: 410 yards to 213, that's dominance. And one thing we
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: haven't brought up, which certainly is a huge factor in
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: every game, third down conversions. The Chiefs were 3-11 and
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: it took them a while to get their first in
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: this game, their first successful third down conversion. Seahawks were
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: 11 for 16 in third-down conversions last night.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Mike talked about it after the game.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, third down has been a point of emphasis
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: over the last few weeks, especially this week. And offensively,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: I'm really proud of the process that we've had. The
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: guys went to work, and it was a great team effort.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Brian led the charge. I thought we came up with
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: some really great ideas and solutions. And then with Rasheed
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: going down, being able to kind of evolve and pivot
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: and get to some other answers as the game started
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: to clear. So some really good stuff by our offensive staff.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the best and best used Varner's been in a
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: game so far this season.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: About time for that. I think he can be a
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: really effective weapon for this football team. You ran for
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: 153 yards, outgained them five.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Yards to one on the ground.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And after a week of discussion about how bad our
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: running game is and how great their running game is,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and you outgained them on the ground five to one,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: and then defensively, I mean, there were stars everywhere. Leonard
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Williams was great. Ernest Jones was great. Spoon was great.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: But the guy that stood out the most on the
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball is number three. Here's Coach
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: McDonald talking about how he used Nick Emanwari last night.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: As coaches, we bear the responsibility of trying to have
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: him and really our best players affect the game the
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: best we can without overloading him. That's kind of a
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: burden that we carry every week of how can we
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: best utilize his skill set and get him ready to
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: play while he's still the best version of himself. You know,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: it's something that we're always chasing. I mean, but we got,
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: we got several guys like that, like Murph, Leo, our
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: edge guys, spoons, a guy like that. You're always thinking
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: through that lens. I mean, there's a lot of guys
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: you're thinking through that lens throughout every week.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: We had a safety here not long ago who got
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of attention all the time. And before he
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: came here, people thought he was actually really good at
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: what he did for a living. And then he got
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: here and he set a record for defensive back sacks
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: in a season. And yet we kept questioning the whole time,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: shouldn't safeties have to cover? Shouldn't safeties be able to tackle?
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Should be part of their skill set.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't safeties be able to catch a ball without it
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: first hitting them in the face mask? Nicky Manwari last
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: night was chasing down Patrick Mahomes from behind. He's not
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: one of the fastest guys out there. He's not one
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: of the most athletic guys out there, but he always
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: knows when to run, how to run. Patrick Mahomes you're
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: The feel that Patrick Mahomes has for when is the
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: time to run, that's his skill. He's not Lamar Jackson,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen. He's just not that fleet. But he has
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: a great sense of He is the deer in the
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: jungle that can tell when the Panther is sneaking. Well,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: the Panther caught him because the Panther is faster than
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: what he realized last night in Nick Eamon Worry. And
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: then if people didn't appreciate the speed on that play,
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: like a half a quarter later, he's covering the fastest
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: receiver in the world downfield.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Who's got a weapon like that? No one.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: And then you have to be smart enough to figure
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: out how to use it appropriately. But the athletic ability
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: and then the skills that he's required, I mean, he
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: is just.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: There was.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Discussion before the season, before the injury, defensive player of
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: the year. This could be a defensive player of the
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: year candidate. That's what we could be looking at this season.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: If he gets some sacks and tackles for loss, because
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: you know the voters who don't watch him every day
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: are going to need statistics to cling to. But a
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: game like that last night puts him on the right.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: He's not going to win defensive player of the year.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: That's impossible. He missed too many games. But certainly he's
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: got that ability in him, and we saw it on
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: full display.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not just the athleticism, and it's the
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: usage from Mike McDonald, which he was just talking about,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: but also I want to point out the smart and
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: the the ability to diagnose plays from nicky manwari himself
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the chiefs basically have a cheat play when they kind
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: of rolled my homes out to the right and then
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: they're running back which was kenneth walker in this case
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: kind of sneaks through and they just pop it to
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: him it's the easiest six yards you'll ever get and
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: chris collinsworth talked about this last night that is literally
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: like it's a go-to when they are on third down
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: usually like third and less than four And Nicky Mewari
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: noticed it instantly and broke up the play. And he
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: was supposed to be kind of, I think, on pressure
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: on Patrick Mahomes, but he noticed Kenneth Walker slipping through.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: He follows him, puts his hand up, can't catch the ball,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: and gets him on fourth down. It's just amazing to
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: watch him play football.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, you would think he's a 10 athletically. Now,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: that's indisputable. He is a 10 athletically. And then to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: be able to have all those skills where I.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Can rush the passer, I can cover up.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I can cover a Z receiver downfield and I can
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: cover a tight end.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: And I can make a tackle on a running back,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: a big running back. I can make tackle. The skill
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: set has got to be a 10. Yeah.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And what people say. on is just what you said.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: The instincts to play the game are off the charts.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: And now if you've got the defensive mind that knows
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: how to use you in the best ways possible.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's just scratching the surface.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: He is just– to have three on one side and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: 11 on the other side, I mean– Unicorns. That is exciting.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 39:52
