- 2:00Speaker 2: handle this, Greg. We've got football that we have to
- 2:02Speaker 2: talk about with the Seahawks and a key game against Jacksonville.
- 2:06Speaker 2: We have a game five tonight with the Mariners. It's
- 2:08Speaker 2: a deciding game five. We're not used to having baseball
- 2:10Speaker 2: in October. There's just too much going on in We're
- 2:13Speaker 2: in sports overload here in Seattle, Sir.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Where's Gorman Thomas when you need him?
- 2:19Speaker 2: Andrews Gorman Thomas was a baseball player back in the eighties,
- 2:22Speaker 2: Big Guy Beards Struffy played for Milwaukee and actually briefly
- 2:26Speaker 2: played for Seattle.
- 2:27Speaker 3: I believe that's why I said it. He didn't really
- 2:29Speaker 3: play for Seattle. Where's j B when you need him?
- 2:33Speaker 2: He's in Texas right now. Nobody loves Jay more than Jay.
- 2:35Speaker 2: He's down there right now, and he did some broadcasting
- 2:38Speaker 2: with him this year. Yes, we've got that coming up.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Playter Greag Coasalees brought to you by our good friends
- 2:42Speaker 2: at Seattlesider. Let me tell you. If you're going to
- 2:44Speaker 2: the game today and you're bringing the family, you're looking
- 2:46Speaker 2: for a place to go before the game, Seattle Sider

- 2:52Speaker 2: stop there. Of course. It's just south of the stadiums
- 2:54Speaker 2: and Soto right there, the Seattlesider tap Room. Just google

- 2:59Speaker 2: out in yourself, great food there as well, have a
- 3:02Speaker 2: couple of Siders, get yourself ready to go, and again
- 3:04Speaker 2: it is open for all ages. Now that's new this year. Well, Greg,
- 3:09Speaker 2: we got a lot to talk about. I think I
- 3:12Speaker 2: think Baker Mayfield just competed another pass against the Seahawks.
- 3:14Speaker 2: By the way, it just it just happened moments ago.
- 3:17Speaker 2: That was something else.
- 3:18Speaker 3: That game was crazy. I think what were there about
- 3:21Speaker 3: ten total incompletions with both quarterbacks.
- 3:24Speaker 2: At one point, at one point in the second half,
- 3:26Speaker 2: those two guys had not thrown an interception through the
- 3:30Speaker 2: entire third quarter or I'm sorry, incompletion. It was crazy. Yeah,
- 3:33Speaker 2: it was nbelieved crazy.
- 3:36Speaker 3: It was a fun game. I mean I saw a
- 3:37Speaker 3: lot of it lied because it was it was a
- 3:40Speaker 3: late game, right, wasn't it. Yes, yeah, one o'clock and
- 3:43Speaker 3: then of course I watched the tape on both sides,
- 3:45Speaker 3: but yeah, it was. It was a fun game to watch.
- 3:49Speaker 3: You know. Baker Mayfield was. He's been that way all season.
- 3:52Speaker 3: He's been very, very sharp, very sharp, And yeah it was.
- 3:57Speaker 3: It was a tough game for the defense for Seattle.
- 3:59Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's I thought. I thought the
- 4:01Speaker 3: Bucks did a really good job conceptually attacking use of motion,
- 4:06Speaker 3: you know, ways to get you know, one thing I've
- 4:09Speaker 3: been thinking a lot about, and I think it applies
- 4:10Speaker 3: to Sam Donald as well, is I've been given a
- 4:14Speaker 3: lot of thought to the marriage between the the sort
- 4:19Speaker 3: of the offensive scheme and how they go about the
- 4:22Speaker 3: process of putting the plan together and they and the
- 4:25Speaker 3: play calling during the game, and how that impacts the quarterback,
- 4:29Speaker 3: because you know, we always look at a quarterback like
- 4:32Speaker 3: when you see a quarterback throw a ball to a
- 4:34Speaker 3: receiver that it's clearly as primary reading the receiver is
- 4:37Speaker 3: relatively open, you know, by NFL standards. You know, we
- 4:41Speaker 3: always say great throw by the quarterback, you know, but
- 4:44Speaker 3: when you get right down to it, it's really the
- 4:47Speaker 3: scheme that presents the clean defined throws. You know, we're
- 4:51Speaker 3: seeing that a lot with Indianapolis with Daniel Jones. Taking
- 4:54Speaker 3: nothing away from the fact that he's executing everything at
- 4:56Speaker 3: a really high level, as is Donald, but there's there's
- 5:00Speaker 3: so much scheme involved in that, and that's something I've
- 5:03Speaker 3: given a lot of thought to because you know, there's
- 5:06Speaker 3: very few transcendent quarterbacks, you know, even the ones we
- 5:08Speaker 3: think of as being great. You know, it's all part
- 5:11Speaker 3: of his scheme. It's all. It's all, let's see if
- 5:13Speaker 3: we can get the primary open. Let's see if we
- 5:15Speaker 3: can make it clean and defined for the quarterback so
- 5:18Speaker 3: it presents it to him. He can drop back, he
- 5:20Speaker 3: can hit his back foot, he can deliver the football.
- 5:23Speaker 2: So you're telling me the coaching matters and football is
- 5:25Speaker 2: that you're telling me, Greg co Sell?
- 5:26Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm coming to think that it meant you know, look,
- 5:29Speaker 3: we know that everybody always says coaches always say it
- 5:31Speaker 3: because they're not going to say, gee, look at me,
- 5:33Speaker 3: I did a great job. No coach says that, you know,
- 5:35Speaker 3: but you know coaches always say, oh, it's the players,
- 5:38Speaker 3: it's the players, as they should. And you know, you
- 5:40Speaker 3: hear a ton of people say things like it's the
- 5:42Speaker 3: Jimmy's and the Joe's more than the Exers and the O's,
- 5:44Speaker 3: you know that kind of stuff. Sometimes I don't know
- 5:48Speaker 3: if that's true at a high percentage of the time.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Greg Cozell brought to you by a friend, the Seattlesider.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Let's stay with the Seahawk defense against Trevor Lawrence Jaguars
- 6:00Speaker 2: and then just kind of look back at the Seattle defense. I,
- 6:03Speaker 2: you know, talking to my friend Hugh Millan for a
- 6:04Speaker 2: hardcool football segment on Monday, and sitting I went to
- 6:08Speaker 2: the game, I was in the press box on Sunday,
- 6:11Speaker 2: and I was just amazed at what you just said,
- 6:16Speaker 2: you know, by NFL standards, how open some of the
- 6:18Speaker 2: receivers were against that, against that Mike McDonald defense. Now
- 6:23Speaker 2: they're missing Devin Witherspoon, probably missing him again this week.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Julian Love probably missing him again this week. They do
- 6:28Speaker 2: get DeMarcus Lawrence back, it sounds like, so that should
- 6:31Speaker 2: help there. Wolan will wait and see what happens because
- 6:34Speaker 2: he's in concussion protocol, but it didn't sound too serious.
- 6:37Speaker 2: We'll see if he can get on the field. So
- 6:39Speaker 2: they're down some guys, certainly in that secondary Greg. But
- 6:42Speaker 2: you know, I just you kind of you have a
- 6:44Speaker 2: guy we're just talking about coaches, Mike McDonald. I think
- 6:47Speaker 2: this guy is just this genius. And yet he came
- 6:50Speaker 2: into the press conference afterwards, we're all sitting there and
- 6:53Speaker 2: he says, that's on me. That is one hundred percent
- 6:55Speaker 2: on me. It's not on the players. He kind of
- 6:57Speaker 2: took responsibility, which I like the accountability. But you know,
- 7:00Speaker 2: usually Mike McDonald's able to, you know, at least win
- 7:03Speaker 2: some of those battles. He didn't win any battles on Sunday.
- 7:06Speaker 2: So what will Jacksonville try to do? What did you
- 7:09Speaker 2: see on tam I.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Mean, you know, the Seahawks, there have been a couple
- 7:13Speaker 3: of things through five games that have been pretty defined.
- 7:15Speaker 3: Now again after last week, Mike McDonald might, you know,
- 7:18Speaker 3: try to tweak a few things. That's what coaches do,
- 7:20Speaker 3: is the season progresses. But you know, through five games,
- 7:23Speaker 3: they've played eighty six percent of their defensive snaps and
- 7:26Speaker 3: Nickel it's the highest percentage in the NFL. They've not
- 7:29Speaker 3: been a high percentage blitz defense. They're five man pressures.
- 7:33Speaker 3: It's near the bottom of the NFL in terms of percentage.
- 7:36Speaker 3: So essentially there are a nickel defense that that rushes
- 7:39Speaker 3: for that's the way they've played now. If you can't
- 7:43Speaker 3: get to the quarterback, or if the quarterback, as Baker
- 7:46Speaker 3: was last week, is incredibly decisive and being able to
- 7:50Speaker 3: get rid of the football, then you're not going to
- 7:53Speaker 3: get there.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Now.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence is not Baker. Trevor Lawrence is not anywhere
- 7:57Speaker 3: near as decisive as Baker Mayfield. In fact, one of
- 8:00Speaker 3: the things that in my view, based on extensive tape
- 8:03Speaker 3: study of Trevor Lawrence, that has held him back from
- 8:07Speaker 3: being what he was supposed to be coming out of
- 8:09Speaker 3: Clemson is that I'm not sure based on tape that
- 8:12Speaker 3: he's a really quick processor. I think he's a little
- 8:15Speaker 3: slow at times in that regard, and you know you're
- 8:18Speaker 3: trying to get him to be better at that. Obviously,
- 8:20Speaker 3: he's a gifted player, good arm, very mobile, by the way,
- 8:25Speaker 3: far more mobile than people might think. You know, you're
- 8:28Speaker 3: not going to say he's Lamar Jackson, but he is
- 8:30Speaker 3: a really mobile athlete for a big man, and that's
- 8:33Speaker 3: one of his best traits.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Well, we saw that with on Monday Night Football. He
- 8:37Speaker 2: gets stepped on by the lineman gets up, he's athletic,
- 8:39Speaker 2: he made his way to the end zone for the
- 8:40Speaker 2: game win. He played. But yeah, you know, his numbers,
- 8:43Speaker 2: even with the new offensive minded head coach, are no
- 8:46Speaker 2: better this year. Is is you know? NFL numbers are
- 8:48Speaker 2: no better this year than they were last year.
- 8:51Speaker 1: No.
- 8:51Speaker 3: And then, as I said, I think he struggles at
- 8:53Speaker 3: times with how quickly he sees it, how correctly he
- 8:56Speaker 3: sees it. And therefore I just you know, he's not
- 8:58Speaker 3: as decisive, consistent only as he needs to be, whereas
- 9:01Speaker 3: Baker is very decisive Seattle.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I want to go back to the blitz right for
- 9:06Speaker 2: a second, and what they can see against a guy
- 9:08Speaker 2: like Trevor Lawrence, because yes, he can run and that
- 9:11Speaker 2: can hurt you, certainly if you don't get home. The
- 9:13Speaker 2: only time they touched Baker Mayfield, I believe the one sack,
- 9:16Speaker 2: and I think the other two quarterback hits were all
- 9:19Speaker 2: on a blitz of some sort, like a safety or
- 9:21Speaker 2: quarter blitz. Right, So Derek Hall is not going to play,
- 9:24Speaker 2: he might be their best edge rusher. I don't know
- 9:27Speaker 2: where boy A Mafi is right now, like I don't
- 9:29Speaker 2: know where fifty three is. Feels like he's losing money
- 9:32Speaker 2: by the week in a contract year. But is this
- 9:36Speaker 2: kind of tells me that you're what you're telling me
- 9:37Speaker 2: is that maybe Trevor Lawrence is a guy you can
- 9:39Speaker 2: have success if he blitz against him.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Well, I think you want to show him color, you know,
- 9:44Speaker 3: at times for sure opposing Jersey color. Now, there were
- 9:47Speaker 3: times last week that he was back and Evian Warry
- 9:50Speaker 3: was used as an edge glitzer, you know, just a
- 9:52Speaker 3: couple of times, and he played I think thirty nine
- 9:54Speaker 3: snaps and then they ended up in the pure pass
- 9:57Speaker 3: situations playing Kendrick in the slot. I assume since Witherspoon
- 10:02Speaker 3: you said, will likely be out this week, that they'll
- 10:04Speaker 3: do something similar. So we'll see. I mean, look, Mike
- 10:07Speaker 3: McDonald is a smart guy. You know, he knows his
- 10:09Speaker 3: defense better than I do. You know, everything is also
- 10:13Speaker 3: dependent on who you're playing.
- 10:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Sometimes I remember years and years ago, Jeff Fisher was
- 10:19Speaker 3: in our building. This is when he was still coaching,
- 10:22Speaker 3: and you know, I was watching tape and he stopped by,
- 10:25Speaker 3: and it's when Tom Brady was still playing, and we
- 10:28Speaker 3: just started talking about pressure. Because Jeff and Dave McGinnis,
- 10:31Speaker 3: I think Dave McGinnis was on that staff and they
- 10:34Speaker 3: were big pressure guys. But he said, you know, guys
- 10:36Speaker 3: that get rid of it. And I remember this conversation
- 10:38Speaker 3: that could happen yesterday. He said, the guys that get
- 10:41Speaker 3: rid of the ball really quick. You know, you're wasting
- 10:43Speaker 3: a guy because he's not going to get there. So
- 10:47Speaker 3: why add a guy into the pass rush he's not
- 10:49Speaker 3: going to get there. You're taking a guy out of coverage.
- 10:52Speaker 3: So again i'm not saying that's Mike McDonald's philosophy, but
- 10:55Speaker 3: if you just think about that rationally, it makes sense,
- 10:57Speaker 3: you know. But Trevor's not that guy. So you know,
- 11:01Speaker 3: it could be very interesting to see because Mike McDonald
- 11:04Speaker 3: at times in his career, both with Baltimore and at Michigan,
- 11:07Speaker 3: because I remember watching his tape quite a bit in
- 11:09Speaker 3: Michigan because of course Michigan always has defensive players coming
- 11:12Speaker 3: out in the draft. He blitzed. I mean, I'm not
- 11:15Speaker 3: saying he was super high percent in you know, sixty
- 11:17Speaker 3: seventy percent, but he had a lot of really good
- 11:20Speaker 3: pressure concepts and you know they're all in his playbook,
- 11:24Speaker 3: believe me. So this maybe this is a week he
- 11:26Speaker 3: decides I'm going to do a little more of that.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Greg Cosel joining us NFL Film ESPN Matchup Show brought
- 11:32Speaker 2: to you by our friend at Sales Center again. Stop
- 11:33Speaker 2: buying the way of the baseball game later on this
- 11:35Speaker 2: afternoon on your way in. It's open. The tap room
- 11:37Speaker 2: is for all ages, food served as well. Great place
- 11:39Speaker 2: to go prefunk before the game today. Last week we
- 11:42Speaker 2: saw and we talked about him a lot, you and
- 11:45Speaker 2: I did. Last week. Greg an elite rookie wide receiver
- 11:48Speaker 2: at Mecha BUCA. Obviously, obviously Bucky Irving was out for
- 11:51Speaker 2: Shad White, scored a touchdown, but they couldn't really run
- 11:53Speaker 2: the ball effectively against Seattle. This week's skill wise, outside
- 11:56Speaker 2: of Trevor Lawrence, I know they've got a tight end
- 11:58Speaker 2: on injury reserve. Now, they don't have a Mecca at BUKA.
- 12:02Speaker 2: I don't even know. I don't know how ATM stacks
- 12:04Speaker 2: up against the better backs in the league. But what
- 12:05Speaker 2: are their skill guys look like?
- 12:08Speaker 3: Well, the thing about atn is he's explosive, So you
- 12:10Speaker 3: got to be you know those guys as you know
- 12:12Speaker 3: that can take it to the house. He's one of
- 12:14Speaker 3: those guys. So you know, and he's actually had a
- 12:17Speaker 3: pretty solid season. You know, they want to run the ball.
- 12:20Speaker 3: They like to get him on the perimeter if they
- 12:22Speaker 3: can where there's more space. But you know, the thing
- 12:26Speaker 3: have to be concerned about it is he's one of
- 12:27Speaker 3: those guys that if there's space, he can take it
- 12:29Speaker 3: to the house. Now they do have Brian Thomas. Brian
- 12:32Speaker 3: Thomas coming off his rookie season would have been seen
- 12:35Speaker 3: as a better receiver clearly than than a Mecca Abuka.
- 12:38Speaker 3: I mean, Thomas is six to three and he can run,
- 12:42Speaker 3: and they've got they've got pretty good receivers. Now this
- 12:46Speaker 3: year with Thomas and Lawrence, it's just for whatever reason,
- 12:49Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like they've they've been in sync. Although
- 12:52Speaker 3: Lawrence hit him for a big, big play on that
- 12:54Speaker 3: winning drive. If people watch the game on Monday night,
- 12:57Speaker 3: they saw that it was a great ball. It was
- 12:59Speaker 3: a beauty if we throw a ball, he couldn't have
- 13:01Speaker 3: handed it to him any better. But you got to
- 13:02Speaker 3: be careful with Brian Thomas Travis Hunter. You know, it's
- 13:06Speaker 3: funny they know more than I do. Okay down in Jacksonville,
- 13:10Speaker 3: but I almost feel like he hasn't been a factor
- 13:13Speaker 3: either as a receipt or as a corner. And again
- 13:16Speaker 3: I'm not suggesting that they play him just in one spot.
- 13:18Speaker 3: They like I said, they know better, but I feel
- 13:21Speaker 3: like he just hasn't been a big factory either way.
- 13:24Speaker 3: And maybe if he just played one position, maybe he
- 13:26Speaker 3: would be. But he's a guy that has tremendous explosive quickness,
- 13:31Speaker 3: so you know you do have to be careful. And
- 13:32Speaker 3: he's a guy that if he does get the ball
- 13:35Speaker 3: in their space, like if you throw him a tunnel
- 13:37Speaker 3: screen or you throw him a short ball in their space,
- 13:39Speaker 3: he does have that juice, so you know you have
- 13:42Speaker 3: to be careful with him. Parker Washington has become a
- 13:45Speaker 3: sort of a seemed like a security blanket for Trevor Lawrence,
- 13:48Speaker 3: so you know they do have guys. The tight end
- 13:52Speaker 3: position is not a position, you know, theoretically from a
- 13:56Speaker 3: pass game perspective, you would.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Have to worry about good because Kate at and we
- 13:59Speaker 2: worry about him last week and saw him do some
- 14:01Speaker 2: damage that Greg COSTI. Let's flip the other side the football.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I do believe this might be a bigger challenge defensively
- 14:06Speaker 2: than Sam Darnold sah last week. Maybe with the Devin
- 14:09Speaker 2: Luyden company.
- 14:10Speaker 3: This is a really interesting defense. They're they're you know,
- 14:14Speaker 3: they're Their numbers aren't great, if you other than turnovers
- 14:17Speaker 3: where I think they leave the league, which you know
- 14:19Speaker 3: you can't count on those every single week. Their pressure rate, though,
- 14:22Speaker 3: is high. And and I tell you they have a
- 14:24Speaker 3: first year coordinator named Anthony Kepanelli. I think he's doing
- 14:28Speaker 3: a really good job with his pressure concepts, his schemes.
- 14:33Speaker 3: You know, it's you know, everybody saw the interception by
- 14:36Speaker 3: by Lloyd on on Monday night when he went ninety
- 14:39Speaker 3: nine yards. That was a great scheme. I think Mahomes
- 14:42Speaker 3: pointed out that he hadn't seen that on film. They
- 14:45Speaker 3: do a really good job with their pressure schemes, and
- 14:48Speaker 3: you've really you're online really has to be aware of
- 14:51Speaker 3: that because it's it's not They're not easy to play
- 14:54Speaker 3: against in that regard. And obviously they just made the
- 14:56Speaker 3: trade now so they're gonna have Greg Newsom on the
- 14:58Speaker 3: outside instead of Tyson Campbell, so you know, and obviously
- 15:02Speaker 3: Newsome has not been there, so I don't know how
- 15:05Speaker 3: that impacts, you know, the the volume that they're going
- 15:08Speaker 3: to want to call during the game.
- 15:11Speaker 2: I know this. Devin Lloyd was a nightmare when he
- 15:12Speaker 2: played at Utah where you know, we saw that here
- 15:15Speaker 2: Washington and Washington State fans saw that. I don't need
- 15:17Speaker 2: to see that on Sunday, sir.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a lot so I was the first
- 15:21Speaker 3: round pick, and and you know he's sort of been
- 15:23Speaker 3: up and down in the league. But this year, through
- 15:25Speaker 3: the first you know, month, month, you know, and a week,
- 15:28Speaker 3: he's played really really well.
- 15:30Speaker 2: I like the glance of the calendar. I always do
- 15:32Speaker 2: that too. What month are we in? I have no idea.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Great, Yeah, I'm with you on that. I'm totally with
- 15:37Speaker 3: you on that.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Do you like what the what the Seahawks did with
- 15:40Speaker 2: Ken Walker on Sunday last week?
- 15:42Speaker 3: Well, you know, it gets into that same that same question.
- 15:45Speaker 3: You know, he played twenty seven snaps and Charbonney played
- 15:48Speaker 3: thirty four, and I think Walker only had ten carries
- 15:52Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken. You know, again, this is I
- 15:57Speaker 3: don't know. So I'm not gonna sit here and say
- 15:59Speaker 3: they're right or wrong.
- 15:59Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 16:00Speaker 3: I'm not there, but I would like to see Walker
- 16:04Speaker 3: get a few more carries.
- 16:05Speaker 6: Now.
- 16:05Speaker 3: That game, that game had a certain feel to it,
- 16:08Speaker 3: as you know, Ian, I mean, some games get a
- 16:10Speaker 3: feel and you just feel like you got to keep
- 16:12Speaker 3: matching and you keep throwing. And obviously they were having
- 16:15Speaker 3: great success throwing the ball, so why not keep doing it?
- 16:19Speaker 3: But overall, I'd like to see Walker more along the
- 16:22Speaker 3: lines of what he was the week before when he
- 16:23Speaker 3: had nineteen carries. You know, to me, I'd like to
- 16:27Speaker 3: see it. Maybe they maybe they feel differently.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Well I think what yeah, I think you said the
- 16:31Speaker 2: feel the game was where it felt like and I'm
- 16:34Speaker 2: sure they felt the same way on the other sideline too,
- 16:36Speaker 2: that it like we have to score every possession. It
- 16:38Speaker 2: kind of had that feel, right, like you had to
- 16:40Speaker 2: score every single.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Possession, not as if they were throwing the ball badly,
- 16:43Speaker 3: you know, no.
- 16:45Speaker 2: No, no, you know. I love what aj Barner's been
- 16:48Speaker 2: doing at the tight end position zone in the in
- 16:51Speaker 2: the red zone. We haven't seen a red zone tight
- 16:52Speaker 2: end forever in Seattle.
- 16:54Speaker 3: I love what they and the fact and they're calling
- 16:56Speaker 3: place for him, which is really you know, that tells
- 16:59Speaker 3: you what they think of him. You know, now again
- 17:01Speaker 3: you're not going to talk about him, you know, with
- 17:03Speaker 3: the brock Bowers in the league, and you know, those guys.
- 17:05Speaker 3: But I think he's been a really solid tight end.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Brock Bowers is he's still playing this league. I don't
- 17:10Speaker 2: even know. It's like he's like everybody else. Well, Greg,
- 17:14Speaker 2: you're the only guy in the league not hurt right now,
- 17:16Speaker 2: all right, like like everyone else is hurt.
- 17:18Speaker 3: I'm still day to day and I'm still day to day.
- 17:22Speaker 2: I think we all are. I mean, it's been a
- 17:24Speaker 2: brulliant year for injuries. Like, honestly, now joking aside, it's
- 17:27Speaker 2: been it's like like from an NFL standpoint, like too
- 17:29Speaker 2: many stars have been hurt. So well, it's it feels
- 17:32Speaker 2: I'll wrap it up with this, Greg. It just feels
- 17:34Speaker 2: like a really dangerous game for Seattle, a very pivotal
- 17:38Speaker 2: game for Jacksonville. My goodness, they can go to five
- 17:41Speaker 2: and one. I mean, it's it sets up for I
- 17:43Speaker 2: mean it's early for us out here, it's ten in
- 17:44Speaker 2: the morning, but it just feels like a really pivotal,
- 17:47Speaker 2: really big test for both teams.
- 17:48Speaker 3: And were just in Tampa, then they flew home, right
- 17:50Speaker 3: and now they're they were in Seattle.
- 17:51Speaker 2: They were in Seattle. They were yeah yeah, right, that's right, right, yeah, yeah,
- 17:56Speaker 2: but there but still yeah, Jacksonville gets this Jacksonville a
- 18:00Speaker 2: short week, but they're at home for back to back.
- 18:01Speaker 2: It just feels it feels dangerous. As one of the
- 18:03Speaker 2: ones that started the year. You kind of think, hey,
- 18:05Speaker 2: this that you go get this one. And now you
- 18:06Speaker 2: look in their four and one, so oh.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Yeah, A lot of people probably saw when you know,
- 18:10Speaker 3: when the schedule came out that Jacksonville, you know that's
- 18:12Speaker 3: that's going to be a win. But they're playing well,
- 18:14Speaker 3: I mean, you know, and like I said, their defense
- 18:16Speaker 3: has been probably a whole lot better than people anticipated.
- 18:20Speaker 2: All Right, well, you got the suit on, so you
- 18:21Speaker 2: look good. You go do what you need to do
- 18:23Speaker 2: in that suit today on this Friday, all right, uh,
- 18:25Speaker 2: and we'll check in with you next week.
- 18:27Speaker 3: I'm actually watching I'm watching last night's game between the
- 18:31Speaker 3: Eagles and the Giants.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Oh, if you're an Eagles fan, probably not something you
- 18:35Speaker 2: want to rewatching.
- 18:36Speaker 3: People are not happy here in the in the Philadelphia area,
- 18:40Speaker 3: you know.
- 18:40Speaker 2: You don't you don't say. And the baseball team lost
- 18:43Speaker 2: as well, and the baseball.
- 18:44Speaker 3: Team lost play that you just you probably saw. You
- 18:47Speaker 3: just have to feel so badly for for oryan Kicker.
- 18:50Speaker 3: I mean, you know just you can tell you know
- 18:52Speaker 3: what I almost felt watching it because I think football
- 18:55Speaker 3: way too much. It was like a quarterback in the
- 18:57Speaker 3: pocket rushing, like you could tell, all of a sudden
- 19:00Speaker 3: and everything start to happen too fast for him, and
- 19:03Speaker 3: he just you know, the brain froze. You know, it
- 19:05Speaker 3: just happened way too fast.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Well, condolences of your friends that are in Philadelphia. Hopefully
- 19:09Speaker 2: we're not having that same feelings later tonight here in
- 19:10Speaker 2: Seattle after Game five against the Tigers. We will talk
- 19:13Speaker 2: to you next week, my friend. Thank you all right, Ian,

- 20:01Speaker 2: I go to my computer this morning on the day
- 20:04Speaker 2: of Game five of the Alds. Danny O'Neil, Andrews is
- 20:08Speaker 2: Jack Anders you Jack? Are you Jack?
- 20:10Speaker 7: I see you?
- 20:10Speaker 2: Yes, we're all Jack. We're all Jack. Here we go,
- 20:13Speaker 2: And Dannie O'Neil, you and I are on the same
- 20:16Speaker 2: page with this Huskies and Cougar's coming together. I'm kind
- 20:19Speaker 2: of looking at the same way. I'm kind of glass
- 20:20Speaker 2: half full. I think they're gonna win this thing. I
- 20:23Speaker 2: don't know why. Maybe it's because I've suffered long enough,
- 20:25Speaker 2: but I think they're gonna win this thing.
- 20:27Speaker 8: I am not fearful of the out I'm excited to
- 20:29Speaker 8: see what happens. And it's not even I wouldn't even
- 20:32Speaker 8: say it's a confidence. It's just like I'm ready. I'm
- 20:35Speaker 8: ready for this, I'm ready to go. I'm not sort
- 20:38Speaker 8: of dreading and oh my gosh, this is how it
- 20:39Speaker 8: always happens, Like none of those sort of feelings are
- 20:42Speaker 8: going through it.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Is really like, yeah, man, I'm excited to see how
- 20:46Speaker 5: this turns.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Out because we've been through this so many times. Danny's
- 20:50Speaker 2: wearing his Mariner's hat right now, which is sensational.
- 20:53Speaker 8: I got I've got a Edgar oh kidding Jersey like
- 20:58Speaker 8: a mesh a mess Jersey. I've been rocking here in
- 21:01Speaker 8: New York to represent for the faithful chosen here. I,
- 21:06Speaker 8: by the way, I wanted to now.
- 21:10Speaker 2: I don't want to beggars, can't be choosers. I wanted
- 21:13Speaker 2: it to be the Yankees for a variety of reasons.
- 21:15Speaker 2: So they didn't win for people. Though Danny sits there
- 21:18Speaker 2: in New York. He's best sales sport's riding that you
- 21:20Speaker 2: get outside of Seattle from New York. And with the
- 21:22Speaker 2: dang apostrophe you were telling me off the year is interesting.
- 21:26Speaker 2: The I said, are they morning in New York and
- 21:29Speaker 2: you said only a small percentage. I found that interesting.
- 21:32Speaker 8: Twenty percent of the city, I would guess, is mourning
- 21:34Speaker 8: the Yankees loss, and those twenty percent feel it, and
- 21:39Speaker 8: it's very fun to tease in pok and prod them.
- 21:42Speaker 8: And there are more Yankee fans than Mets fans. The
- 21:45Speaker 8: difference is that I would say most of the city
- 21:48Speaker 8: is not. They're not passionate Yankee fans. They are more
- 21:53Speaker 8: inclined to enjoy Yankee defeats. It's no one's agnostic about
- 21:58Speaker 8: the Yankees here.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Love them either.
- 22:01Speaker 8: You love them and and feel that it is their
- 22:05Speaker 8: birthright to win a championship every year, and if they don't,
- 22:08Speaker 8: somebody needs to be held accountable or you're like most
- 22:11Speaker 8: of us, in which they annoy the Bejesus out of you.
- 22:14Speaker 2: And when they lose, it's.
- 22:16Speaker 8: An awesome opportunity to be slightly patronizing towards them and say, like, oh,
- 22:20Speaker 8: I thought they showed so much heart the way they
- 22:22Speaker 8: came back in Game three, they came back in the
- 22:24Speaker 8: way they came back.
- 22:25Speaker 5: You gotta, I mean, you can't.
- 22:27Speaker 8: I know it's disappointing, but they're the first team ever
- 22:31Speaker 8: to go down one zero in a three game wildcard
- 22:33Speaker 8: series and come back and win it like that means something,
- 22:36Speaker 8: and they want they want no part of that, which
- 22:39Speaker 8: is great.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Let's go let's go look at this thing tonight and
- 22:42Speaker 2: maybe just use past history. And every team is different.
- 22:45Speaker 2: I know, you know, I kind of sometimes hate when
- 22:46Speaker 2: I see things college football is the worst with this
- 22:49Speaker 2: when they give you the game notes where read the
- 22:51Speaker 2: game notes and they start talking about, well, you know
- 22:53Speaker 2: this happened, this happened, and you know these are the tenants. Well, like,
- 22:56Speaker 2: they're never the same rosters right now. Sometimes there's the
- 22:59Speaker 2: same culture and things like that. Maybe it's the same coach,
- 23:02Speaker 2: but there is no same roster or culture. But I
- 23:05Speaker 2: think for us in Seattle, it's worth revisiting the past
- 23:08Speaker 2: history at heartbreak we've had. And I always I was
- 23:12Speaker 2: in Salt Lake in two thousand and one, so I
- 23:14Speaker 2: watched from Afar. In fact, I remember, you know, I
- 23:18Speaker 2: got the MLB package was early days of DirecTV in
- 23:21Speaker 2: that I'm watching games in my basement in Salt Lake City,
- 23:23Speaker 2: and I remember how disappointed it was. But it was
- 23:25Speaker 2: such a weird deal, but it was disappointing. And I
- 23:28Speaker 2: heard somebody say something this morning, Danny, you know, we
- 23:30Speaker 2: feel like this Mariner team with some of the core
- 23:33Speaker 2: pitchers and cal and everything, that hey, they're going to
- 23:35Speaker 2: be around for a while. But oh one proved one thing.
- 23:39Speaker 2: There's no guarantee. That's why tonight's huge. There's no guarantee.
- 23:43Speaker 8: Yes, and you're you're not going to get me to
- 23:46Speaker 8: participate in any sort of what constitutes a success for
- 23:50Speaker 8: this season. I firmly believe if you get in the playoffs,
- 23:53Speaker 8: you've got a shot, and this team has a great shot.
- 23:56Speaker 8: But you're also not gonna sell me on it's going
- 23:58Speaker 8: to be okay if they don't win it, because this
- 24:01Speaker 8: isn't like the NFL, like the situation you had with
- 24:04Speaker 8: the Seahawks in twenty twelve where they lost it Atlanta
- 24:07Speaker 8: in heartbreaking fashion, but you could look at it and say,
- 24:10Speaker 8: you've got the quarterback, you've got the pieces in place.
- 24:13Speaker 8: The way the NFL works, you know you're gonna have
- 24:15Speaker 8: that unit for three or four years. You have absolutely
- 24:17Speaker 8: no clue what the future is gonna hold for this
- 24:20Speaker 8: Mariners team. No matter how good you think the young
- 24:22Speaker 8: nucleus looks, you don't know if you're gonna get this
- 24:25Speaker 8: sort of opportunity again. And it is a great opportunity.
- 24:28Speaker 8: And I agree with you about sort of the looking
- 24:31Speaker 8: at history and what matchups mean. We've become so accustomed
- 24:36Speaker 8: to probabilities that you lose sight of the fact that
- 24:41Speaker 8: probabilities only give you a faint idea about what's gonna
- 24:46Speaker 8: have Actually happen in this one out. The fact that
- 24:49Speaker 8: the Mariners have won three games that Trek Scoople started
- 24:54Speaker 8: this year, I'm not sure how much that has to
- 24:57Speaker 8: do with what's going to happen tonight. I like to
- 25:00Speaker 8: tell you, hey, that's past history is the greatest sign
- 25:03Speaker 8: of what's gonna happen. But if I felt that way, well,
- 25:05Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure that Carry Carpenter is gonna homer off
- 25:07Speaker 8: of George Kirby.
- 25:08Speaker 5: Because he's hit five home runs off of him too.
- 25:10Speaker 5: The truth is, we don't know anything that's gonna happen tonight.
- 25:14Speaker 8: This is a one off, absolute outlier.
- 25:19Speaker 5: Nothing can tell you what is going to occur tonight.
- 25:22Speaker 2: But you know, Danny, that great point, because let me
- 25:24Speaker 2: let me take it to this point. The if I
- 25:26Speaker 2: look at at the Seahawks like you did. You were
- 25:30Speaker 2: there with me, both in New York and in Phoenix Glendale,
- 25:35Speaker 2: to be exact, and I remember, I remember in New
- 25:38Speaker 2: York what they said after every guy I remember ever
- 25:41Speaker 2: get this is the start. This is the start. And
- 25:43Speaker 2: then they got back, which is great. They got back,
- 25:45Speaker 2: you know, cal saying hey, we're gonna win this planking thing.
- 25:48Speaker 2: You know, we're all thinking that this is and then
- 25:50Speaker 2: we got there back to Glendale and it didn't happen
- 25:54Speaker 2: for a variety of reasons. I mean, the one play
- 25:56Speaker 2: obviously we will look at, but it didn't happen and
- 25:57Speaker 2: they never got back. So you just don't know, and
- 26:01Speaker 2: baseball that like, you don't know. So I mean that
- 26:03Speaker 2: past history does haunt us as Seattle sports fans. What
- 26:07Speaker 2: do you think of the decision to go Kirby as
- 26:09Speaker 2: opposed to the Rock Castill? What do you think of that?
- 26:12Speaker 8: I think Kirby's the better picture. I think Kirby's had
- 26:14Speaker 8: the better year. I like the decision. I think Castillo
- 26:18Speaker 8: is great and competitive. Everything that I needed to know
- 26:22Speaker 8: I saw in Kirby's reaction to that home run he
- 26:25Speaker 8: gave up to Kerry Carpenter in Game one of the
- 26:27Speaker 8: series that he is he is.
- 26:30Speaker 5: Everybody is engaged and ready to go, and he's had
- 26:33Speaker 5: the best stuff.
- 26:33Speaker 8: I love the decision to start Kirby, and I would
- 26:36Speaker 8: have been disappointed if it hadn't been him. I don't
- 26:39Speaker 8: think he gets a long leash, but I think Kirby's
- 26:43Speaker 8: the right guy to go with.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my lovely wife's birthday today. And my daughter.
- 26:47Speaker 2: We were just talking and she's getting the I don't
- 26:48Speaker 2: know ifink guys have nothing but bunt cakes out there
- 26:50Speaker 2: in New York.
- 26:51Speaker 5: Yeah, we do.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Yeah, And so we're getting those tonight and we're talking
- 26:54Speaker 2: about flavors, and it's kind of like Kirby Castill, I
- 26:57Speaker 2: really you can't go wrong unless you go lemon. Maybe
- 27:00Speaker 2: I don't know, but uh, but but you honestly can't
- 27:03Speaker 2: go wrong like confetti, chocolate chip, what I mean, you
- 27:06Speaker 2: can't go wrong Kirby CASKI And we know Cassie will
- 27:10Speaker 2: be there, like if it's if it's like, he'll be
- 27:12Speaker 2: out there, I don't think. And Anders helped me out here.
- 27:16Speaker 2: You and Chris have talked about this. If if he
- 27:18Speaker 2: gets in trouble, they won't probably bring him in mid inning.
- 27:21Speaker 2: But but he would be a guy that would start
- 27:23Speaker 2: like an inning, right, So.
- 27:24Speaker 6: It's hard to predict what Dan Wilson does, to be
- 27:26Speaker 6: completely honest, but uh, sometimes, like I would, I would
- 27:29Speaker 6: assume that because he's a starter who has very little
- 27:32Speaker 6: to no relief history, then yeah, he would get a
- 27:36Speaker 6: clean inning out.
- 27:37Speaker 8: With assume We've never seen a starting pitcher brought into
- 27:42Speaker 8: a playoff game in a high leverage situation and have
- 27:45Speaker 8: that backfire at least rob.
- 27:51Speaker 5: My bad.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Weren't we weren't we just talking about past history. I
- 27:56Speaker 2: don't do that.
- 27:57Speaker 5: What's gonna happen?
- 27:58Speaker 2: No, gosh, Neil brought to by Northwest Handling Systems for
- 28:01Speaker 2: a couple more moments. Yeah, I mentioned the Yankees. I
- 28:04Speaker 2: wanted to be them. It will be Toronto and and
- 28:07Speaker 2: the Blue Jays will host the first couple and then
- 28:10Speaker 2: it will be interesting to see. There is part of me,
- 28:13Speaker 2: this is the weird, morbid part of me that says, Okay,
- 28:16Speaker 2: it's Toronto, Let's see what it looks like. How many people?
- 28:20Speaker 2: Because you had to buy like these scripts of tickets
- 28:22Speaker 2: and a massive amount of money, So like do people
- 28:26Speaker 2: sell a game or two? And what's that ballparking to
- 28:29Speaker 2: look like? On what would it be Wednesday Thursday? I
- 28:32Speaker 2: think right, Wednesday Thursday, something like that. Yeah, what would
- 28:36Speaker 2: it look like? Toronto is a beautiful, beautiful city. I
- 28:39Speaker 2: think it is a fantastic place to visit. In fact,
- 28:42Speaker 2: the number of Persian bakeries that are up there one
- 28:44Speaker 2: of the best eating cities in North America. And I
- 28:48Speaker 2: think next week could be a fantastic time if you
- 28:50Speaker 2: were looking for some sort of getaway, some sort of
- 28:53Speaker 2: opportunity to get out there. I think that there would
- 28:55Speaker 2: be a fantastic time for people from Seattle. It might
- 28:58Speaker 2: be the perfect time for people from Seattle go visit Toronto.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I like that even better. You'll watch Rutgers at all
- 29:04Speaker 2: tonight we hat the Hawks coming up top of the hour.
- 29:06Speaker 5: I certainly will be tuned to it.
- 29:08Speaker 8: I'm not sure if it's going to demand the majority
- 29:10Speaker 8: of my attention. It would probably be a bad sign
- 29:13Speaker 8: if it does, because I think that the Huskies should
- 29:17Speaker 8: win this game. I feel pretty strongly about I always
- 29:22Speaker 8: scored twenty eight points on these guys. Iowa not known
- 29:26Speaker 8: for its offense, not known for any of its ability
- 29:29Speaker 8: to do it. So if Iowa can hang twenty eight
- 29:30Speaker 8: on them, I don't care if they're coming off of
- 29:32Speaker 8: a bye. I would like this to be one that
- 29:34Speaker 8: I occasionally check on in the second half and then
- 29:37Speaker 8: watch them watch fully on replay when I can dedicate
- 29:41Speaker 8: time to it.
- 29:41Speaker 2: Tell people about the day apostrophe, sir.
- 29:43Speaker 8: It is a newsletter that originates from New York City.
- 29:46Speaker 8: Sometimes I tell you the things that I figured out
- 29:48Speaker 8: from a Seahawks game. The mysteries that I'm still trying
- 29:51Speaker 8: to solve, like what the hell is going on with
- 29:52Speaker 8: Devin Witherspoon and his knee?
- 29:55Speaker 2: It plays every step and then ten days later can't play.
- 29:58Speaker 2: So that what you mean? Yeah? That what's going on?
- 30:00Speaker 5: What's happening here?
- 30:02Speaker 8: You insert your email address into Danny O'Neil dot com
- 30:06Speaker 8: and I start sending emails with those sort of questions
- 30:08Speaker 8: and hopefully periodically answers.
- 30:10Speaker 2: Danny. One week from today, let's talk ALCS.
- 30:12Speaker 5: I would love to be doing that.
- 30:14Speaker 2: If we don't talk at ALCS one week from today,
- 30:16Speaker 2: we'll know why. But we'll either talk at one. We'll
- 30:18Speaker 2: either talk about it or we'll just talk football. So
- 30:20Speaker 2: one way or the other. Dang aposter. You go check
- 30:22Speaker 2: it out big thanks in Northwest Handling Systems. Daniell talk
- 30:24Speaker 2: to you in week. Enjoy the night tonight sounds good.
- 30:27Speaker 5: Take care guys.
- 30:28Speaker 2: That's Dannie O'Neil. We'll put a wrap on things hopefully
- 30:30Speaker 2: here from the clubhouse. Maybe even manager Dan Wilson coming
- 30:33Speaker 2: up next night. Three point three.
- 30:34Speaker 9: KJTERFM Now back to Football Friday, sponsored by Tito's handmade Vodka.
- 30:44Speaker 1: On your home for the NFL Sports Radio ninety.
- 30:47Speaker 6: Three point three.
- 30:53Speaker 2: All Right football at baseball Friday. We should point out
- 30:55Speaker 2: Dan Wilson speaking to the media moments ago at t
- 30:57Speaker 2: Mobien Park at a game five. He was asked about
- 31:00Speaker 2: the difference between being a manager and a player.
- 31:02Speaker 10: In a game five, you feel all the emotions that
- 31:05Speaker 10: you know, you kind of cycle through it all. But
- 31:08Speaker 10: I think, you know, you get to the point where
- 31:11Speaker 10: you know, first pitch happens, and uh, you know, you
- 31:15Speaker 10: get back to sort of groundedness and and uh you know.
- 31:17Speaker 7: You're you're ready to kind of business as usual at
- 31:19Speaker 7: that point.
- 31:20Speaker 11: And you know, I think this has been you know,
- 31:24Speaker 11: a long journey for sure, and and.
- 31:26Speaker 7: Uh, you know that's why there is so much emotion
- 31:28Speaker 7: to it. But once we once once you.
- 31:31Speaker 11: Know that first pitch is thrown, I think you're you're
- 31:33Speaker 11: back to where you want to be.
- 31:34Speaker 7: And and uh, you know, back in that state where
- 31:37Speaker 7: you're ready for anything tear in the front of me.
- 31:43Speaker 4: You know, Hey, if you guys advanced tonight, I think
- 31:46Speaker 4: would you expect to have Brian, who won the.
- 31:48Speaker 7: Next Crosster at the house he can go home?
- 31:50Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think Brian's got you know, bullpen
- 31:54Speaker 11: today and uh, you know see how he kind of
- 31:56Speaker 11: bounces back from that, and obviously the decision you're gonna
- 31:59Speaker 11: have to make pretty quickly once once this, you know,
- 32:01Speaker 11: a game concludes tonight. So yeah, I mean, I we'll we'll,
- 32:05Speaker 11: we'll cross that bridge when we get there. But you know,
- 32:07Speaker 11: we're certainly hopeful.
- 32:09Speaker 4: Sure's a hands on dead situations and obviously specifically Loy
- 32:13Speaker 4: with Gilbert, you need a little.
- 32:15Speaker 7: Two days, you know, I think it is all hands
- 32:17Speaker 7: on debt. You know, you want to do everything you
- 32:21Speaker 7: can to to see another day.
- 32:22Speaker 11: And so you know, I suspect Logan and the Rock
- 32:26Speaker 11: and even Bryce Miller probably down in the bullpit tonight,
- 32:29Speaker 11: available and ready to pitch.
- 32:31Speaker 7: I know these guys want the ball in.
- 32:33Speaker 11: These situations, and you know it's uh, it's it's it's exciting.
- 32:38Speaker 7: This is this is what this time of year is
- 32:39Speaker 7: all about. And these guys are ready for the moment.
- 32:42Speaker 12: Who are running on the r Dan, how how FLEXI
- 32:46Speaker 12: were do you guys have to be with your approach
- 32:48Speaker 12: of the play against School just going off of what
- 32:50Speaker 12: you're seeing early, I mean, you like to put pitches on,
- 32:53Speaker 12: but if he's able to command early.
- 32:54Speaker 7: You don't want to be behind it either.
- 32:56Speaker 12: How flexible and how how can you get a read
- 32:58Speaker 12: even in the first teeing off?
- 33:01Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think you know a couple of things.
- 33:03Speaker 3: You know, you.
- 33:05Speaker 11: Have to to kind of make the adjustments as you go.
- 33:08Speaker 7: And you're right.
- 33:09Speaker 11: You know, we've been able to put some pitches on
- 33:11Speaker 11: them over the course of the games that we've seen.
- 33:13Speaker 7: In this this season.
- 33:15Speaker 11: But again, it kind of goes back to that communication
- 33:17Speaker 11: factor that we've talked about and the first couple of
- 33:19Speaker 11: guys getting their ads, seeing what they see, you know,
- 33:23Speaker 11: coming back in the dugout and sharing that information and uh,
- 33:26Speaker 11: you know, kind of relaying that to the next hitters. Uh,
- 33:28Speaker 11: so they have an idea and that's that's how it grows,
- 33:31Speaker 11: and that's how it's going to continue to go tonight.
- 33:34Speaker 7: You know, we'll just you have to be ready to
- 33:36Speaker 7: make those adjustments.
- 33:37Speaker 11: It's a buying balance between being too selective and and
- 33:40Speaker 11: getting behind or being too aggressive and and uh, you know,
- 33:44Speaker 11: swinging the pitches you don't want to swing at so
- 33:46Speaker 11: h but our guys have been great.
- 33:47Speaker 7: They've been able to solve that that part of it.
- 33:50Speaker 11: You know, when they face Schoogle before, so I think
- 33:53Speaker 11: they have a good track record of making those those
- 33:56Speaker 11: good adjustments looking for Yeah.
- 33:59Speaker 7: I mean you first got to know George Kirby.
- 34:01Speaker 11: What was the impression that you took away that helps
- 34:04Speaker 11: prepare him to meet this moment? You know, George has
- 34:08Speaker 11: he's you know, got something inside that's special and you know,
- 34:12Speaker 11: I think you don't see it sometimes until he takes
- 34:15Speaker 11: the mount in these big moments, and we've seen it
- 34:17Speaker 11: this year and we've seen it in some big ball
- 34:19Speaker 11: games that he's taken the mound, and you know, I
- 34:22Speaker 11: think there's there's nothing you know, there's no bigger.
- 34:25Speaker 7: Moment than tonight. And I think that's what we're gonna
- 34:27Speaker 7: see from George again tonight.
- 34:28Speaker 11: And it's that uh you know, it's that voice inside
- 34:31Speaker 11: that won't take no for an answer, and uh, you know,
- 34:34Speaker 11: you've got to love to see that from your starter
- 34:36Speaker 11: And I'm looking forward to see George out there tonight.
- 34:39Speaker 7: Brady.
- 34:40Speaker 11: Before then, since you have that full bold at your supposal,
- 34:44Speaker 11: would you be willing to use Horius Morbiles before the night.
- 34:46Speaker 13: Dak if you felt a called for it. Yeah, I
- 34:49Speaker 13: mean I think we have to be open to anything tonight.
- 34:52Speaker 13: You know, that's what that's what this game calls for.
- 34:54Speaker 13: And and uh you know again that's what these moments
- 34:56Speaker 13: call for.
- 34:57Speaker 11: And you know, you don't want to get to too
- 35:00Speaker 11: far away from what we've done that's helped us be successful.
- 35:03Speaker 11: But at the same time, you want to live to
- 35:05Speaker 11: see another day. So again there's a balance there that
- 35:07Speaker 11: you have to strike it. You know, I think we're
- 35:10Speaker 11: we'll be ready for whatever justice we have to make.
- 35:13Speaker 2: Tall hands on deck from Dan Wilson I game five
- 35:18Speaker 2: five o'clock. Remember again, it's on Fox thirteen. It's not
