• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Hey, good Wednesday morning to you. Welcome into the radio
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: program that is entitled Chucking Back in the Morning Sports
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Radio ninety three point three k j A r FM.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Powell, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: that's it. If you woke up this morning without a
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: giant sequoia blocking your driveway, then consider yourself Lucky, because
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: not everyone you know can say that that's true.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Not everyone you know can say that. I do like
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that we went with a sequoia.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just to think of the biggest tree.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: P it was massive.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it didn't look massive the photos that Bucky provided.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I guess there was a storm. Well, there was a storm.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: We all kind of.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Touched this, yeah, the gap winds.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we kissed the storm, all of us. But apparently
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: it really made out with North Bend. I mean it
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: got it got up and close and personal.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: In the business, that's right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: And he got smacked with a storm last night. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: in the midst of it all, I guess one of
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: the tall timbers that he calls neighbor one friend I
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: decided to topple ride over and block his passageway out.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: So he's stuck there forever.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean at this point, I think, now knowing
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: that it's a sequoia, he's probably better off just drilling
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: like a doorway, like cutting a doorway through it. It
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: would be great for tourism, it would I'd go visit, Yeah, exactly,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: That's the one thing that would get me to go
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: out there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: People love driving through a tree. Yeah, in my experience,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I found that they really do be true. They really
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: do more often than not.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but luckily they're okay.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: His family's good, family's okay. Yafter not so much. Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I saw the residue of that,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: but nonetheless, yes, No, Bucky Jacobson. Today he comes up
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: with clever ways to miswork. I'll give him that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That was a big one.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's been talking about I'll just take this
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: day off and this will go well, factor fiction will
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: be great. And it's like, no, Bucky, you got to
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: come to work. Yeah, And he was like, Okay, they're
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: gonna make me go. All right, let's go step it up, wins.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: I want to let's uproot this tree.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got some creative excuse notes. I'll give him that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I need to step up my game.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd say so. Welcome in. We've got you covered
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: for the next four hours, and we have no shortage
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of juicy topics to discuss during the course of today's program.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: We will have What's on tap for you in a moment.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: We also have a couple of other features that we're
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: going to roll out for you today as well. So
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: settle in It's going to be your normal Wednesday hump
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Day show, but with a lot of things to discuss today,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: So we don't want for content, I'll tell you that,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: and we will begin with yesterday's big news, the National
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Football League trading deadline. Of course the entire hour. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: just noticing I do take some pride in like making
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: sure that the listener doesn't have to listen to the
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: same thing, same content, same topics always. Obviously we have
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: different spins every day, but today I thought it was
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: kind of important because there were such there were three
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: big stories going into yesterday, and now I'm like, yeah,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: now that we know the answers to these three things,
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: we should probably have those conversations the next day and
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: the exact same sequence.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that makes sense.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So we talked about in this segment yesterday the
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: NFL trading deadline. Well, now the NFL trading deadline has passed,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: and we know exactly what the Seahawks did and didn't do,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: and we also got to witness some blockbusters. It wasn't
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: quite the amount of trades that I thought that we
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: would see, especially after we left work around the what
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: eleven o'clock, there was the Quinn Williams trade on the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: way home. But I'm I still I'm looking at it
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: just turned It's not even turned noon yet. We're gonna
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: have another hour and then this thing's really gonna unleash. Yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: it really didn't, so the mass amount didn't occur. But
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: rarely do we see blockbuster deals go down on trade deadline,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and we saw two from one team yesterday, which we'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: get into here in a moment. So between that and
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: the college football rankings figured we talked about that at
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: six thirty, and they did make a decision on who's
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: going to quarterback for the Cardinals, So we'll talk about
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: that again at six forty five. And we have what's
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: on tap coming up here in a little bit, which
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: will map out the entire show for you and condense
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: you that you need to listen to all four hours.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: But the NFL trading deadline is certainly where we start,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: and the Seahawks did make a move today, very interesting one.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I'm toying around with like
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: letter grades. I think that sort of gets old. So
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: my letter grade for this trade for Rashid Shaheed for
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: a fourth and a fifth round pick. It is an
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: f but for fascinating, Oh not for fail really, Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to go down the same old road. Yeah,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: it's a fascinating deal. And I was genuinely surprised at
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: how many of the national guys that I saw covering
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: the NFL trading deadline event yesterday just couldn't stop raving
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: about how good to move this is by John Schneider,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: how clever a move it is. I don't think Ashley
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: with a success Jackson Smith and Jigmas had. With Tory
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Horton coming off his best game of his young career
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: and looking like he can be a contributor all season long.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: With the amount invested in Cooper Cup and an injury
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: that doesn't sound like it should keep him out for
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: very long, we shall see a couple tight ends that
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: are young and probably just touching upon their abilities this season.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I expect both of those guys to get better as
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: the season progresses and they rack up more playing time
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: and more reps. It really did not seem like it
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: was an area that the Seahawks needed to address. It
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: almost feels like a luxury pick and yet to grab something.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, how much time do we spend in training
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: camp talking about where's the guy to take the top
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: off of the defense, right, something Hugh Millen was very
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: worried about. Marquez Valdez Scantling was not the answer there,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Tory Horton was starting to look like the answer. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: yet here are the Seahawks. Here's John Schneider, in his
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: own bold way, saying, you know what, let's get a
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: guy that truly takes the top off the defense. Let's
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: get a guy that has led the National Football League
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: in yards per catch recently, playing with a not so
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: great quarterback and a not so good team in New
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Orleans and lo and behold, nearly everybody that broke this
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: down yesterday that I witnessed absolutely loves this move for
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's all I saw too. Just to everybody
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: was they weren't bothered by the fourth and the fifth
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: round pick. They thought it was a great addition. People
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: were saying, you know, I already knew this or thought
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: this Seahawks team was good.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And now look at them, like, how are you? I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: saw things like how are you going to defend them?
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And this wasn't from local people.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: And that's something that that's being said about the offense. Yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: of the twenty twenty five Seahawks.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, Yeah, it was crazy and I and I
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: was excited about the trade.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, it's it's always nice when your
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: team's involved in trade deadline, sure, of course, and so
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: and then to have had it be that move and
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: not just be something that because I was a little
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: worried that John was just going to do something little,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: just to do something because he couldn't not be involved.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: He never does anything little. I mean, that's what surprised
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: me by all of the Mafay Woolen and there was
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: no chatter about Okay, who's he bringing in?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Right exactly?
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: He always bring somebody in, Yeah, he brought He makes
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: bold moves at the trading deadline, even when the team's
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: not playing as well as what they are right now. Yeah.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're not motivated to improve this team
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and see how far they can go this year, after
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: what you watched on Sunday, after what you've watched from
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold since the start of the season, then I'm
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: not sure as a general manager you have a pulse.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: We know that John has a raging pulse for making moves.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: He's one of the most creative general managers in all
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: of sports, not just the National Football League. He's bold.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I heard Ian talking about it yesterday. This organization does
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: put a pedal to the medal when it really comes
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: down to it. You're talking about a guy that added
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Sheldon Richardson at the trading deadline, Jadeveon Clowney, Ernest Jones.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, the list goes on. So I was surprised
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: leading up to yesterday, where's the talk about who he's
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: going to add? And there was a little bit about well,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: interior offensive line. Well we're always talking about interior offensive
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: line always, and he rarely pulls that trigger. He's got
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: something up his sleeve. I didn't see speed receiver coming
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: down the track because of what I've seen from Tory Horton.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: But nonetheless, now that the move has been made, now
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: that Shaheed gets to be paired with a red hot quarterback,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: now that Jackson Smith and Jigba can pretty much you
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: can line him up anywhere on the offense right now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: I mean you can just have some fun with him.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: You can make matchup nightmares. You can break the huddle
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: and have the defense go, where's eleven and how are
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: we going to defend him this play because Cup can
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: run the short routes and Horton can do multiple things,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: and Shaheed takes the lid off the defense if you
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: need him to. I don't know if it was necessary.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: There might have been a move out there that addresses
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: more of a hole or a need. But when you've
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: got people like you said, saying, how do you stop
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: this offense on a team built around its defense? Yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: and now people are wondering how do you stop the
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Seahawks offense? And a lot of that has to do
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Donald right, and how great Sam Donald looks, and a
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: lot asked to do with JSN because even we didn't
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: see that he was about to become Jamar Chase right.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: And and so you have that momentum going, those two
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: things going. You have a quarterback that once again didn't
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: get sacked on Sunday. I mean, when's the last time
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: we talked about a quarterback that doesn't get sacked in Seattle?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: No clue, not since I moved here two decades.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: I've been here for a decade. Offensive line, it's never
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: not been a topic since I moved here about how
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: often our quarterback gets sacked. And now We've got one
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: of the least touched quarterbacks in the National Football League,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: So you just it's almost like John's like, this is
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: just gonna be fun. This is like the Jimmy Graham move.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: And I know that that didn't work out necessarily, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: it's sort of that vibe like I'm playing with house
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: money right now. Let's get something fun. Yeah, we're not
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: gonna buy the kids socks for Christmas, not this year, bikes,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: video games, They're they're getting something fun. This offense is
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: going to get something fun. And I can't wait to
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: see how he blends with the rest of this lineup.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that and that is going to be the fun thing.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I mean just how quickly they're you know, involving him
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: and what they're doing. How how much will he be
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: involved early on? I mean all of that is going
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: to be because I do think this is one of
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: the fun things that we've noticed about this team from
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: the week one right. Yes, Week one didn't go how
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: we wanted it to, but it seems like every week
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: we see something just a little different, like something adds
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: on something you're seeing, you know, new a new play
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: or a new something that we haven't seen before. A
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: new wrinkle and so now here's your next wrinkle, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: he's going to get slowly folded in.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And so I just think or maybe quickly or maybe
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the experience kub that's true. Either way, I don't know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: And he knows the offense. Yeah, it's really the offense
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: he knows best. Rashid Shaheed, Yeah, probably is Clint Kubiak's offense.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: I mean he's been immersed in at the last prior
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to this year, and so he might be somebody that's
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: just like, no, no, no, I know, I know what
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: you're doing here. Just put me in the game. I'll
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: make some plays for you. So it's it's fun, it's
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: it's a fascinating move fnospher, fascinating to get us started,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: and I think we'll see it enacted against the Cardinals
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: coming up on Sunday. There were obviously other moves, bigger
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: moves that were made Entrade deadline. I think the other
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: two teams that have to be discussed here are the
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Jets and the Cowboys. And let's start with the Jets,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: because they also are getting ridiculous amounts of praise for
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: what they did yesterday. And I'm not sure I'm on
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: board with it when we were kids. I was for incomplete.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that grading system existed in Washington
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: or for a person of your age, but you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: you get an ABCD and then F and then every
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: once in a while somebody, some teacher would be a
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: smart ass and just say you didn't complete the curriculum.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you an eye.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I saw nightmares that I have gone through an entire
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: semester and not completed the curriculum.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I don't give this I for incomplete. I give this
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: I for incompetent. For the Jets, and not that their
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: moves yesterday were a symbol of incompetence, but their history
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: is of incompetence, and not franchise history, recent history. Their
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: present history is a symbol of incompetence. And so everybody,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: because everybody loves accumulating draft picks, and as much as
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I love the draft, and if you haven't heard, it's
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: all my business cards, I'm father draftmiss. I love the draft,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: and I do believe in draft capital. But I also
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: we have to recognize it doesn't matter how much draft
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: capital you accumulate if you don't hit on your draft picks.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: And the New York Jets don't hit on their draft picks.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: The only times they've hit on their draft picks, they
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: just traded the two guys that they hit on, and
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: by the way, those were both top five selection. It's
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: easier to hit on your draft picks the closer you
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: pick to the top, and so the New York Jets
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: are going to be picking close to the top. But
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that's not what they acquired yesterday. They acquired two first
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: round picks for the Indianapolis Colts, who seem to know
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: what they're doing right now. Those are going to be
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: late first round picks. Jets don't hit on late first
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: round picks. Now they have a brand new general manager,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: and maybe we have to play the game of giving
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: him the benefit of the doubt, but Woody Johnson's still
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: the owner. And the truth of the matter is, if
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: you're going to go as far as trading the only
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: two pieces that are functioning and working for you, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: now you're left with nothing but a mystery for the
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: rest of the season. Part of this is you need
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: to get as bad as you can get, because if
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: you don't finish with the number one or number two pick,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: you're probably not gonna get the quarterback that you seek
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: that Woody Johnson publicly is declaring that the organization needs.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: So if you end up with the fifth or sixth
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: pick because you didn't trade off enough pieces at the
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: trading deadline, guess what's gonna happen. You're gonna take all
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: that draft capital that you accumulated. You're gonna package it
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: together to move up in the draft to get the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: number one pick, yep, so that you can get your
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: quarterback of choice. I remember when Carolina did that and
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: ended up with Bryce Young. I mean, you have to
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: be a competent organization that hits on draft picks in
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: order to feel good about your draft capital. There's no
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: evidence of that for the New York Jets. To me,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: they traded away the only two functional pieces that they
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: have in the entire organization, and they were locked up
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: long term, so it's not like they had expiring contracts.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: So I don't know why everybody thinks the Jets won
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: the day yesterday. Because you want to talk about IY
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: is for incomplete. We got to see what they do
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: with what they got in return, and I is for incompetent.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: They've never been good at it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's a reason that Jets fans have always
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: been shown booing every time the Jets make a pick
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: in the draft. I mean when it used to be
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: at Radio City Music Hall or whatever, and the Jets
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: fans were always there.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Every pick the Jets.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Made, they booed, and it was because it was like,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: oh good, how are you going to screw this one up?
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that just didn't happen one day. That happened because
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: you have a history of doing that exactly, and your
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: recent history is even worse than your franchise history. So
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: we'll see, we'll see. I mean that's the case with
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: I know, every sporting topic. We'll see. But I mean,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: you've you've you got to connect. We don't get to
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: count your number two pick you end up with the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: draft and the draft because you were bad. Yeah, the
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: picks you accumulated are going to be late first rounders
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: mostly and a second rounder for this upcoming year. And
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: then finally, just quickly, Cowboys, oh minus for old minus
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: old Jerry Jones. I know he's fine, thing, and I
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: know you can see it that he's he's really worried
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: that he's not going to win another Super Bowl before
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: it's too late, and he is fighting it for everything
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: he can he can, but man, these he's basically traded
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Micah Parsons for two defensive tackles and a inside linebacker.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: So a three five and one team that just got
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: blasted at home by the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, and was
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: that at home? Team did they play was money and
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I football, It doesn't matter.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they got blasted by the Arizona Cardinals, where their
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: quarterback says, we got dominated on both sides of the
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: ball by a team that had lost five straight games
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: and was starting their backup quarterback and that's the time
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: to go for it at the trading deadline.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Well, and he was bragging about that he made the
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: trade before the game and all we made it where
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: we've already made a trade tonight, I'm like, what.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Are you doing?
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: You have three five and one, and that's the time
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: to go to be the most aggressive team at the
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: trading deadline. You're not even going to make the playoffs.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: And you better be able to stop the run now
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: because you've committed more draft capital and more player capital
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: to stopping the run than any team I've ever seen
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: in my entire life watching football. So you better be
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: able to stop the run going forward, otherwise you've just
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: traded away Mica Parsons for nothing. Yeah, and so I mean,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: of those three teams that we've outlined, I like the
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Seahawks trade deadline over all of them, even though people
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: seem to be raving about both the Jets and the
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Cowboys and what they did yesterday at the NFL trading deadline.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll talk more about that coming up on
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: the show. Let's find out what else is on tap?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: What's on TEP, what's on TEP. Well, now that the
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: deadline is over, we have all the pieces in place,
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: it's time to make Super Bowl picks. Here on the show,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: we have a Green Jacket draft coming your way today
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: at nine o'clock. It's hump day, so we will start
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: really diving into this Arizona Cardinals matchup. Greg Bell will
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: join us at seven oh five. He'll also have thoughts
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: on the trade deadline, the fact that Tarik Wooland and
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: boy A Mafe are still part of the roster, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the fact that the Arizona Cardinals named Jacoby Brissett their
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: starting quarterback.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: For this game.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Is there more to it than just a one game designation.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about that coming up at six forty five.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Huskies will be at Wisconsin this Saturday, so after a
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: bye week, they are back in action. Cam Cleeland will
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: join us to talk about that at eight o'clock. Sounders
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: in Minnesota United will not settle their series until Sunday.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Of course, that series is even at one match apiece.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Cracking back in action tonight they'll take on the Sharks.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: How about a winning regulation that would be nice. Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: let's do that against the Sharks tonight at seven. Mariners
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: did pick up the option on Andres Munjos. That was
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: a no brainer. We'll talk more about that coming up
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: on the show. And college football playoff rankings, the first
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: official ones are out, and as we discussed yesterday at
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: six thirty, we will now discuss the results of the
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: first rankings at six thirty today. We'll do it next.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: It's Chuck and Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: point three KJRFM. Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: Two losses first two games of the season, one on
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: the literal last play of the game, the other on
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: the virtual last play of the game after missing an
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: extra point, and they're getting some respect because of how
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: they played and probably out tied those losses and the
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: way they look now. They look like a dominant football
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: team running seeing out with Stanton, etc.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: They could probably point to, well, hey, they were out
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: some guys, they didn't know who they were new DC
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: And now all those players and coaches that are in
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: the rum are saying, look how they're playing now eight
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: games into the eight games later, they are completely different.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Unailats out of the ball Number nine, the Oregon Ducks.
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: Now this is a team I was really interested to
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: see because while they had the loss to Indiana in
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: a great game in Eugene, not a lot of other
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: things on their resume, overtime against Penn State, which at
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: the time looked like a pretty good win.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But now since then when it does not look great,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: they went over time with Penn State.
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: I think everybody acknowledged the firepower and there's no one
• 22:18
  Speaker 8: that denies the ceiling that Oregon has. On their best
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: day we sought against Rutgers, but right now their best
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: wins against a five and three Northwestern team, and that's
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: no disrue.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, some of the chatter last night from the college
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: football rankings, the first ones that came out. Of course,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: they really do mean nothing. It's just to give you
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: a fun gauge of the temperature of the water.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I think these mean more than preseason polls.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: They absolutely mean more than preseason polls. And so we
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: know that Ohio State right now, according to the committee,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: is the number one ranked team, the team to chase
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Indiana's number two, an m number three in Alabama number four.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Of course, you heard some of the chatter about the
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: bigger surprise. Notre Dame entered at number ten. Not a surprise,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: but it was very intriguing to see where the Committee
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: would start them in this process byu number seven with
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: their undefeated record, and they will face Texas Tech this weekend,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: who's number eight, and then Oregon all the way down
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: to number nine. And yeah, everything they said about the
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: Oregon Duck resume we discussed at six point thirty true, true,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: not picking on our rivals down south, it's just the
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: absolute truth. And now we're going off of actual information,
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: resume strength, and not just who looks better on paper.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: That's the idea behind waiting till week number ten to
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: dive into college football playoff rankings. And so we got
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: our first show yesterday. There'll be a second one Tuesday.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: The only one that matters is the final one. Let's
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: take a look at the rest of your headlines here
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: on this Wednesday. They're brought to you by Frost Brewed
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Corps Light Chose Chill. The Mariners picked up the option
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: of Andre s Munjos about seven MIL for this upcoming season.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: That was a no brainer. One of the best closers
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: in all of Major League Baseball, he'll be back with
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: the ms hore. Polanco has until tomorrow to figure out
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: whether or not his option is going to be picked up.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: It won't be, but it does give the Mariners a
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: little time to try to work out a deal that
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: would extend him beyond this upcoming season potentially. And so still,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: we haven't heard word on what's going on with Jorge.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Perhaps he just enters into free agency and takes the
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: highest bid. We shall see. We'll talk more about that
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: later on in the show Cracking or Back in Action
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: tonight against the Sharks. Al Kiniski will join us today
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: at nine thirty to discuss it. Sounders in Minnesota won't
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: play their third and final match of their first round
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: MLS series until Sunday. Of course, that series is even
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: at a match a piece. Huskies will take on the
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday, So after a bye, they're back
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: in action against the lowly that's very surprising to say,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: lowly Wisconsin Badgers. Cam Cleveland will join us today at
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: eight o'clock. Tomorrow, the new week of the National Football
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: League season gets started with the Vegas Raiders and the
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Denver Broncos in Colorado. And it is hump Day, so
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: we start to dive into the Seahawks and the Cardinals
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: more thoroughly today. And of course the Seahawks will have
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Reek Woollen boy A Mafe still on the roster. We
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: know that the Cardinals are going to start Jacoby Brissett
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and not Kyler Murray in the game on Sunday. And
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: we also know that the trade deadline is over and
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks did not part with anyone. They added somebody
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: at the deadline in Rashid Shahed. Time to talk about
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: him and all of these topics with our Seahawks insider
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Greg Bell. All right, well, a lot to discuss here today. Yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: he didn't fail us. John Schneider gave you something to
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: write about yesterday he pulled off a trade for Rashid Shahhed,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: and there's a there's a who question to ask here,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: But I think the biggest question is why, why that position,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: why that player, when you could have gone in a
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: lot of different directions here at the deadline.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Schematics, they've had face.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: They've been facing stack boxes with the safety down in
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: the box against the run.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: We've talked about how they run more.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Than anybody in the league, and so defenses are honoring
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: that and they have done that. That they've succeeded in
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: the run game in that regard is that teams play
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: the run against them.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: And their goal here is to have another.
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: Off take the top off a defense receiver, big play
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: guy when he hits for touchdowns there usually thirty forty yards,
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: speedster guy, to send him down the field and stretch
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: the defense out and hopefully entice defenses to play more
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: too high safety coverages and get that extra guy out
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: of the box so then they can run more. And oh,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: by the way, if we can hit big plays for
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: fifty yard touchdowns on the way to doing that even better,
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: that's the thinking here. The fact that he was in
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Kobe k system with the same last year is another
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: factor here. The fact that he's relatively cheap ending his
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: two year contract he got his exclusive rights free agent
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: a couple of years ago is another factor here. He
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: made the All Pro team first Team All Pro in
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty three. That was just one year after he
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: was an undrafted rookie free agent at a Weaver State
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: and then he exploded. He's also done some kickoff return
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: and punt returns. But the scheme of the offense that
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the Seahawks want to be able to run the ball
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: against fewer people near the line of scrimmage, and they
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: think this wide receiver throwing deep to him may force
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: defenses to have to put a second safety deep to
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: guard against that. Between Smith and Jigba and Horton and
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: now a deeper threat, we'll see if it works that way.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: I think that's the thinking here, not just here's a
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: receiver and go get touchdowns for us, but to change
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: how defenses have played Seattle so far.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's fascinating move. I know in training camp
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: we talked about who so many times, who's going to
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: take the lid off of the defense. Who's the deep threat.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Well you've got one now at what expense. Who's gonna
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: lose time? Is it Horton, is it Cooper Cup? How
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: are they gonna how are they going to divide this
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: thing up?
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: Well, my first reaction was, this may speak that Cooper
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Cup's pretty injured and he's going to miss a couple
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: more games. He was dealing with a heel issue heading
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: into last week, and then during practice last week he
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: got a hamstring injury.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: So he has two leg issues. He's thirty two years old.
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Of course, injuries are why the Rams gave up on
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: him a couple of years into his massive contract after
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: being the Super Bowl MVP. So we're seeing glimpses of
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: why the Rams said we don't want to pay you
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: the top dollar anymore. I'm not saying Cup's done for
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: the year, but this does suggest that they believe Cup is,
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: at least for now, not a viable option and perhaps
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: might not play the next couple games. Now, I mean
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: this is a half year rental. They're going to try
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: out Shaheed for the next nine games to see if
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: they want to re sign him. And if your second
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: receiver is injured, okay, so be it. Horton's still a
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: developmental project. Yes, two touchdowns against Washington. Yes, he has
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: a kickoff a pump return for a touchdown against the
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Saints that's set a team record. But he's also had
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: his own injuries, including once after he got to the Seahawks,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: and then of course the injury of Colorado State and
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: knee injury that ended his season early last season. So
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: it's not like there were cruising at wide receiver. Smith
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: and Jigba masked a lot of issues at wide receiver, but.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: They aren't exactly deep.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: Now they can add some depth and have enough if
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: teams want a bracket coverage and really devote a lot
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: of attention to Smith and Jigba as they will with
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: him leading the league in reception receiving yardage. Now they've
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: got a guy that can make defenses pay on doing that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: And that's also part of the thinking here.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks insiders. So much
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: to discuss with this football team here today, of course,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: coming off the NFL trading deadline. If you want to
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: complete coverage of the Seahawksthewstribune dot Com as that for you. Also,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: you can follow him at g Bell Seattle there on X.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: There was talk yesterday that John is working mind the
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: scenes on a monster trade for perhaps a defensive player.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Did you find out any information on that?
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Well, he was.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: He was seeking what teams might give him for Boy
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Mafe and Greek Woolan. He would have loved if the
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: Raiders would have been us offering Max Crosby. That obviously
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: wasn't happening, So he was in on fishing for anything
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: and everything in that regard. But came down to there's
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: a potential, depending on how many free agents they signed
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: coming in this next offseason, that they could get compensation
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: picks for Mafe and Woman by letting him leave his
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: free agents. And in the meantime they still roll for them.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: Mafay still a starting edge outside linebacker, and we've seen
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: all the injuries in the defensive secondary that even when
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: they've tried to bench Woolan they haven't been able to
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: because they've had.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: To plan them.
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: So they are going to be able to keep them
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: engaged by not trading them, and that doesn't mean that
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: they won't just let them walk with the potential getting
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: a fourth fifth round Comppic that would probably be roughly
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: what they gave up to get Shahat. Some of the
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: they right now have four draft picks. They have one
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: in each first three rounds next spring, and then a
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: six round pick rounds one, two, three, and six one
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: in each of those. There's no way in hell that
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: John Schneider is going to go into that draft of
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: four picks. Now, the COMPIC formula is not going to
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: matter for next year. It's going to matter for twenty
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: twenty seven. The receive the free agents that you sign
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: and the free age that you lose for the spring
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: of twenty twenty six applies for the twenty twenty seven draft.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: So the COMPIC formula is still unsettled for this coming
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: year on whether the NFL is going to grant it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: It's a it's not even worth mentioning how comvoluated that
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: system is, but suffice to say that between trades and
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: potential compicks, the Seawks are going to have more than
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: those four picks when the draft starts next year, and
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: they think down the road, it's something of the deferred
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: payback they may get between Mafia and Woolen, something of
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: the fourth and fifth round picks in twenty twenty seven
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: back that they just gave up in twenty six. We'll
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: see how it all works out. But to the Seahawks thinking,
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: in Schnyder's thinking, it's worth getting a game breaking receiver
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: to augment Smith and Jigba, to potentially open up the
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: run game to Prehent potentially re sign for a fourth
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: and third day pick, fourth and fifth round that we
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: can potentially get back the following year. That's kind of
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: the strategical.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Thinking on this trade.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, being a professional athlete seems like a pretty good gig,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: and I think for the most part, it's a pretty
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: damn good gig. But there is something about their lives
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: that we don't We regulars don't really have to concern
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: ourselves with at any moment. We can just be told
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: you're going to go work for this company and live
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: in this city, and so, I don't know. Individually, I'm
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: sure some people do recognize that. Some athletes do say, hey,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: it's a business and I'm prepared for anything. But there's
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: got to be some hurt feelings involved too. So, long
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: way of asking, how have Mafe and Woolen handled being
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: in in trade rumors for now a month.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Well, woman is very active on social media.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: He sees and hears everything, so he's been pretty plugged
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: into all this, and he's been affected in the war
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: and they've said that he's been a good soldier, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: it's been easy to keep him engaged again because he's
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: been playing so much. He was going to get benched
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: in week two, but then Witherspoon got hurt in the opener,
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: didn't play in Pittsburgh's Week two and then Wolan had
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: to start. He was going to get benched together night.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, he did not start. We mentioned this.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: He was the dimeback, the sixth of six defensive backs
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: who played four snaps before Job got his concussion in
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: the second quarter, and then he played the rest of
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: the game basically Wolle did. So his snapcounts are still
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: in the ninety plus percents because even when they're trying
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: to sit up something, injuries have happened to need him back,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: and so he's been able to stay engaged in the
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: game plan. And I'm on the field and Mafe saying
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: thing Like I said, he's remained the starting outside line
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: back or opposite Derek Hall. He just has not had
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: any production at that spot. And I mentioned yesterday I
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: thought that he was potentially a trade candidate because of
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: the position he plays. In the fact he's still on
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: his rookie deal and his production in previous seasons. But
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: the fact that he's still starting doesn't mean he's exactly
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: sulking because he's got a game plan, he's got a
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: team to prepare for, and he's going to go play
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: sixty seventy eighty snaps on Sunday. So in that regard, yes,
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: But to your point, they are human. They're also in
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: their mid twenties. Neither of them that I know of,
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: or married that would have to grab a whole family
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: and move him across the country, So that's not that
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: big of impact as it is for some other players.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: But yeah, especially in Wollam's case, he's hurt all of
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: this for sure. And he's been a chip on the
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: shoulder guy anyway, right because he was a former wide
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: receiver at Texas San Antonio that everyone didn't think should
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: be in the NFL as a corner he Carroll makes
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: him a project and makes him a Pro Bowl guy
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: as a rookie, as a fifth round pick. So he's
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: used to having a chip on his shoulder. He's carrying that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sure Craig Bell as with us, our Seaawks insider
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: a segment nearly every day here on Chucking Buck, brought
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: to you by the Delacado family of wines. All right,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: so let's talk about the Cardinals. It is hump day.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: They did make a decision earlier in the week, which
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: is a little interesting in and of itself, and it's
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: obviously very interesting what the Cardinals are thinking behind the
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: scenes about their quarterback position now and in the future.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: But also, I mean, these are two different types of
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: quarterbacks to prepare for. Are you a little surprised that
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Gannon announced on a Tuesday who's starting Sunday?
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: A little bit?
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: But then I look back and I saw what the
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: context was. One Gannon wants his team clear coming off
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: a short week. I mean, they got back from Dallas
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: early Tuesday morning from that wind Monday night, and now
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: they're headed right to Seattle on Saturday. So he wanted
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: them to be clear on who their quarterback is. And
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: then after he announced Brissett as the quarterback on Sunday
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: against the Seaux, he then went on to infer the
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Murray is not healthy yet and it would be a
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: while before he's going to be able to return. And
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: reports have since come out of Phoenix that Murray could
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: miss another two or three or four games with his injuries,
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: so the foot injury, So that puts some more context
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: into why Brissette was the clear choice so early in
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: the week. Murray is still the leading rusher for the Cardinals,
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: and that's a problem. And he's missed the left well,
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: he missed this past game, He's going to miss the
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: next few. He only has one hundred and seventy three
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: yards rushing for the season, and that leads the team.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: And if you want to see what's wrong with Arizona,
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: they'd start there. Arizona had lost five in a row
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: until that Monday night game against the Cowboys, when Brissett
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: led him to victory and rather easily, twenty seven to seventeen.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: But before that they'd lost a narrow one point game
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: they should have won at San Francisco. They blew it
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: at the end. The Seahawks beat him down in the
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: desert on the final play after the seax and explicitly
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: let him back into a twenty to six game at
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: the end. The Seahorks really dominated most that game, as
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: we remember then, they lost by one point to the
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: Titans four points at the cold who've been rolling until
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: the Steelers beat them the other day and then four
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: points they lost to the Packers at the end, so
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: they lost five in a row by like all four
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: points are fewer. That's been really frustrating. But when I
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: look at them statistically and how I know Gannon wants
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: to play.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Their run game is the biggest problem day.
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: Mercado has become their number one back. They've had injuries.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: Of course, Connor's out for the season that was supposed
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: to be their number one back. Brissette needs a run game.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Any quarterback does. But they they're gonna I don't know
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: that they'll try again. Teams are Seattle's reputation on defense
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: starting to precede them as the number one rush defense,
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: and teams are not even trying. The Commanders couldn't even
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: try because they were down twenty eight to nothing in
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: the second quarter. There that I but Arizona needs to
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: start running the ball to be more competitive and consistent
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: and start winning some of these games they're losing by
• 37:49
  Speaker 6: a few points. That is job won for Seattle. Keeps
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: the Cardinals the way they've been, one dimensional, no run game,
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: and go get Brissette. And I mentioned yesterday, Leonard Williams
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: and friends. They get to rush differently Jacoby Brissett than
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: they would have Kayler Murray. When they prepare for Murray,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: they got to rush outside in. They got to worry
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: about contain and pass rush discipline. They can't run straight
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: up the field because Murray will run outside of them.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Not so with this cat.
• 38:16
  Speaker 6: Bessett is more of a pocket guy. And that's what
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: Leonard Williams and the Marcus Lawrence and those guys love.
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: And when you asked me yesterday who they'd rather face,
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: absolutely the pass rusher. I'd rather face a guy who's
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: going to stay in the pocket that they can just
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: run up the field and go get Yeah.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: All right, last minute, And you probably need some time
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: to dig around on this question, but I'm going to
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: ask it anyway. How much should sit Is Shaheed going
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: to play on Sunday? And will he play special teams?
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: I expect him to be the number two receiver. My
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: guess is the Cup is probably not going to practice today,
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: and my guess this Cup is the Seahawks are seeing
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: him is maybe not playing. We'll find out more this week,
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: but it would the trade pretends that he heat is.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Going to be right in the middle of it. Away.
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: He just played five catches the other day on nine
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: targets for the Saints and there lost to the Rams.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: So he's right in regular stride of plan. No injury concerns,
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: although he did have a knee injury the end of
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: the season after six games last year. So special team
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: is a good question because Horton has been their hunt
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: returner and they've split between Draek Young, who's now injured
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: and others. George Hallani as a kickoff returner. Seat has
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: done both, and that is one of my questions I'll
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: have today on exactly what he's going to do in
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: special teams and returns.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, never a dull moment with this team, that's for sure.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: No, that couldn't be.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that makes it better better than being better than
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: being oh to eighty.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I love it. Ever since I came to There's always
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: something something this is this organization stirs up.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Well, good job being solid. I thought Bucky
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: was not.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: Coming in because he was just in mourning that they
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: don't have Mitch Garver to kick around anymore.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: Well, that and Oregon's being underrated and all sorts of things. Yeah,
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think there are a lot of
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: reasons for him to concoct the tree fell on my
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: house story that he came up with. Thank you, Sarah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: We'll talk to you tomorrow, all right, Twelve man round
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: table tomorrow at eight o'clock with Creig Bell and Hugh
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Millen and I tree did not fall on Bucky's house,
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: but it is the reason why he's not with us today.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: He did have a storm hit the house and he
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: couldn't get out of his property, so he turn into
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: lumber buck and chop some things away here this morning.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: So anyway, we've we've been here before, Ashley and I
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: know how to do this.
• 40:35

  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, she's always there, the most consistent, most reliable.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: I am alone in the studio.
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: I am that.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: We don't replace Bucky with just like a passer by
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: just to sit in here.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: And yeah, Donny, it's too hard.
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: I heard there are some tree issues, and you know
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: that sounds a little the man needs to you know,
• 42:53
  Speaker 9: you got to take care of that stuff. You got
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: to limb that stuff up and be careful. Trees, man,
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: they get pretty dangerous.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Why wouldn't he just hold it up all night long?
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: If he was worried about you would think so.
• 43:03
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean he looks like a lumberjack. I think
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: you'd be able to figure it out.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: Well, he didn't put in the effort right exactly. He
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: didn't even try it when it was falling. All right, Well,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: let's talk some Huskies football here. I mean, are you
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: refreshed from the bye week? Do you feel the team
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: is refreshed from the bye week?
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: That's a great question. I'm very refreshed from the bye week.
• 43:28
  Speaker 9: I think we should have ten bye weeks. No, No,
• 43:30
  Speaker 9: I'm kidding. I like a second bye week late in November.
• 43:34
  Speaker 9: I think it's it's that recharge button or reset. And
• 43:37
  Speaker 9: now you've got to make a run. You look at
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: the schedule. You got to go to Madison, which I've
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: never been there. I'm looking forward to going there. It's
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: it's you hear a lot about what that atmosphere.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: Is going to be like.
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and a team that's certainly is is reeling Wisconsin.
• 43:55
  Speaker 9: The word is they might even start a true freshman
• 43:58
  Speaker 9: Caleb Smith or time starry Carter Smith because they've had
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: so many quarterback issues. Their offensive line has had seven
• 44:06
  Speaker 9: different starting lineups this season. They've struggled, but that still
• 44:10
  Speaker 9: doesn't mean that if you go on the road, it
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: doesn't matter in the Big Ten and not playing in
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: an interesting environment, in a fun environment, Supposedly there's something
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: they do called to jump around there I don't know
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: if you guys have seen that. I go around supposed
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: to be fun around. I just want to go to
• 44:25
  Speaker 9: Madison win a.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: Football Yeah, exactly.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: I want to go to.
• 44:28
  Speaker 9: Madison and win a football game and come back and
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: make a run here to the end of the season.
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: And yeah, now with the college football playoff rankings out, yeah,
• 44:38
  Speaker 9: it feels very interesting how things could aligned.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, We've talked about this a little bit earlier in
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: the week, but here they said at number twenty three,
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: they do look like they have three winnable games. You
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: still got to play them, and then all of a
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: sudden you got a chance to really, you know, make
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: your case by beating Oregon, which the committee clearly wasn't
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: all that impressed with with their resume of this point
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: and the season, nor should they be impressed with their
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: resume to this point in the season. So do you
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: think maybe the stars are aligning where the Washington Huskies
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: could be playing their best football and the twelfth game
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: of the season face Oregon with a shot at the
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: playoffs and have an opportunity to pull the upset and
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: actually get into the postseason this year.
• 45:24
  Speaker 9: I mean, there there is the path we've heard that
• 45:27
  Speaker 9: term before. Right, there is a path or even Oregon's
• 45:30
  Speaker 9: best win it right now arguably is Northwestern. That sounds
• 45:34
  Speaker 9: about right for them, But they have to play Iowa
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: at twelve o'clock start nine am their time. That will
• 45:40
  Speaker 9: be the game that will really set them apart. But Washington,
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: and we look at this, how this sets up, and
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: I see some of these elimination games as we get
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: towards the end of the season. The player in me,
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: even though I'm old and I'm not a player anymore,
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: has the one game at a time mentality more than
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: ever because he can't slip up on any of these games.
• 46:01
  Speaker 9: You cannot lose your focus and take for granted any
• 46:04
  Speaker 9: one of these teams, knowing that you're going to have
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: UCLA Purdue who are obviously aren't the top of the
• 46:10
  Speaker 9: Big Ten, but all they want to do is embarrass
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: you and give you a loss. So at this point,
• 46:15
  Speaker 9: going to Wisconsin is all that matters. And we can
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: and week out and if you get to the end
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: of the season, this is a giant if and you're
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: nine and two in Oregon's ten and one riddled me,
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: this is that not a play in game? Yeah, I
• 46:30
  Speaker 9: mean it feels like it is.
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Cam Cleyland is with us
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: right here on checking back in the morning, talking some
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: Husky football. What else stood out to you about the
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: college football rankings if anything last night.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I have my tidbits of it.
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: I think that I think listening to a few prognosticators
• 46:54
  Speaker 9: try to argue analytics and use analytics as their theory,
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: and then one thought there might have been eye test
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: isn't worth it? And the argument for Texas A and
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: M Who's okay? I mean, there's this, there's a lot
• 47:07
  Speaker 9: of guessing and a lot of understanding. It's the first
• 47:10
  Speaker 9: one out, so everyone's going to label what they think
• 47:13
  Speaker 9: is the biggest metric. And to try to knock off
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: Ohio State and say that they are undeserved is lunacy,
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: complete lunacy. And Booger MacFarlane is lunatic. I'm just gonna
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: call it what it is. He's the one that said that.
• 47:28
  Speaker 9: He's the one that said back in the day, Washington
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: was playing basketball on grass after we beat the crap
• 47:32
  Speaker 9: out of Texas two years in a row. So let's
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: just let's let's just really let college football evolve for
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: about another two weeks and things start to settle in.
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: But I didn't mind any of the rankings. I like
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: how we don't play a game and get ranked. So
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: I guess the secret was have a bye week and
• 47:49
  Speaker 9: things get moved up.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Well, the thing Washington has going for them, they don't
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: have a bad loss this year, and now they've got
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: a nice win home over Illinois rather convincing one as well.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: But you still got to add to that resume. You
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: can't lose. There's no room to slip up for the
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: rest of the way, all right, So let's talk about
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: the Wisconsin Badgers. Man, I just never imagined that they
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: could slip this far. I mean, that was just an
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: engine that hummed up there in Madison, Wisconsin, and they
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: played the exact same way. They always had these corn
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: fed offensive linemen that mowed people down like you know,
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: threshers through wheat, and they always had two or three
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: ball carriers that it didn't matter which one got the start.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: That guy was going to go for fifteen hundred yards
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: this year. I just thought that that was such a
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: well oiled machine that there wasn't going to be any
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: bogging it down. But it's bogged down right now. Is
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: it still the old, same old Wisconsin Badgers just not
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: as good or is there something different about this Luke
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: Fickle brand of the Badgers that isn't working well.
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: He got demolish this year unfortunately with injuries. I think
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: they lost eight of their projected starters from the opening
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: game of the year, and that I mean eight starters.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: On both sides. That's a massive run.
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: They had a quarterback they went to the transfer portal,
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: Danny O'Neill, who is now now a guy disgrundled and
• 49:18
  Speaker 9: checked out and this would be their fourth starting quarterback
• 49:22
  Speaker 9: of the season with a young freshman. He's a four
• 49:25
  Speaker 9: star freshman, Carter Smith. But their philosophy could be all right,
• 49:31
  Speaker 9: we don't run the ball very well. When I say
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: they don't run the ball, they average three point two
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: yards to carry. It's not great. They don't throw the
• 49:40
  Speaker 9: ball very well. They're the last ranked offense, not only
• 49:44
  Speaker 9: in the Big Ten, but an FBS. That's not great either.
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: So there's a lot of things that this coach has
• 49:49
  Speaker 9: to figure out. The offensive line has been riddled with
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: injuries also, But there's nothing like a spark a young
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: freshman can bring if he does start, and that is
• 49:59
  Speaker 9: the room. However this team looks. I'm just I'm hoping
• 50:03
  Speaker 9: at this point. I don't know how you feel about this, Chuck,
• 50:06
  Speaker 9: that we don't get to see even more coaches fired
• 50:09
  Speaker 9: for things they can't control, which are injuries, transfers, all
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: these things, disgruntled players, and when you go on losing
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: streaks like what they've gone through. I don't know where
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: we're at right now with the amount of coaches that
• 50:22
  Speaker 9: are continuing to be fired and the amount of money
• 50:25
  Speaker 9: that they're paying to get rid of these coaches, and
• 50:28
  Speaker 9: how are these players supposed to rely on the fact
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: that a coach will be there who recruited and let
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: them develop. And I think Luke Fickle is a very
• 50:35
  Speaker 9: good coach, and Wisconsin's a very good place to play football,
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: and it's a storied program. But you're in the Big
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: Ten and it's tough, and it's been tough for them
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: for years because they can't get by Ohio State, Michigan.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: Well, and here we are, well coach knew Eyes I
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: brought up I mean, if some of these other guys
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: lost their jobs, I mean, Luke Fickle seems like a
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: guy that obviously is going to lose his job to
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: let that proud Badger brand fall that far on your watch.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: And yet coach new eisl said put his foot in
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: the grounds, like, no, he's not going to be let go.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin's not going to play that game that LSU and
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: others are playing where they'll eat as much money as
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: they desire to get the right guy and the job.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: That's not a sustainable path. Everybody needs to recognize that,
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: and apparently Wisconsin realizes that even if other programs and
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: other boosters don't right.
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: And it needs to be thought of that way because
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: if you're constantly chasing, and the issue is the ones
• 51:33
  Speaker 9: on the outside that are making the decisions, you see
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: Scott Wood where gets fired at LSU. If you're chasing
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: this illusion that there is a young coach that's going
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: to direct you to the national championship, okay, or immediately
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: get in. But I think now with the accelerated transfer portal,
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: where guys are going to be could be legitimately in
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: a college football playoff run to win a national championship,
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: and you're trying to recruit your own guys to stay
• 51:59
  Speaker 9: on the team. That's insane to me, and how some
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: of these rules are set, and so we're gonna we're
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: still in a little bit of the wild West. When
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: with signing days moved up and all of that, it
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: accelerates the expectations of boosters and their pocketbooks. And unfortunately,
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: that's where we are and that's what we're seeing right now.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: No, No Camp Cleveland is with us former Husky tied
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: end and color analysts for your Washington Huskies right here
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: on the flagship Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: His conversation with us every Wednesday, brought to you by
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: Warrior Injury Law, Battle Tested. Look, I mean when Jonah
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: Coleman started this season and the expectations were enormous for him,
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: he looked like against Colorado State, like Bo Jackson in
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: the original Tech Mobile, Like he looked unstoppable out there
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: on the football field. Well, it's now been since UC
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Davis that he's had one hundred yard rushing game. What's
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: the problem. How is Jonah Coleman not getting one hundred
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: yard rushing games? And he better get one this weekend.
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: Well, for me, it was it was the change in
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: Ohio State when Carver and John Mills went down, and
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: I think Pockey's done a very good job. But when
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: you lose Carver, if you watch him on film, guys,
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: it's he's a difference maker. He's a big time difference maker.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: And then you take Quinton Moore out and he goes
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: down in Michigan and that changed how the game plan
• 53:23
  Speaker 9: and how you run everything. Quinton Moore is an essential
• 53:27
  Speaker 9: part of strongside runs as a tight end. You can
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: go back to last year and I don't care how
• 53:33
  Speaker 9: good you think you are or how good it is.
• 53:36
  Speaker 9: Jonah Coleman is only as good as the group he
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: has in front of him. If guys are blocking air,
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: are missing on the inside, and teams are loading the box,
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: I mean, Demon Williams is four hundred and thirty yards
• 53:48
  Speaker 9: on the ground already a running quarterback. It's he's taken
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: up a lot of those original calls that would have
• 53:56
  Speaker 9: been handed off to Jonah and Demond is a extended
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: those some inside quarterback runs and he's taken a few
• 54:04
  Speaker 9: of those away. With how Jed has had to call
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: the game, we now have a healthy left side. We
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: have the original group back from the starting two games
• 54:13
  Speaker 9: through that UC Davis run. In my opinion, now and
• 54:16
  Speaker 9: I don't want to say the biggest projection. We will
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: start to see what this offense is supposed to really
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: be and feel confident about the run game of Jonah
• 54:24
  Speaker 9: Colemany because you are healthy upfront and guys had this
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: week to get better. Now we see a Husky offense
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: that's gonna hum And.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Yet it's Demond Williams. I mean, the two losses when
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: he couldn't get his running game going. Why is it
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: in football? I mean, when you see what the Huskies
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: win when Demon Williams is running to go with his passing,
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: why is it just not that easy in football to say, Demon,
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: you've got to run.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: I think it's good. But he went up against two
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: excellent defenses in those losses in Ohio State. They had
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: a very good game plan upfront.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: And I also think this is me thinking, which I
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: try to do sometimes.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: Is right everyone around you?
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Guys?
• 55:12
  Speaker 9: You guys, hey, I know we're on radio. Do you
• 55:14
  Speaker 9: see that small little cloud floating You know that that
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: pops up mysteriously that most of the time it's empty.
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: Most of the time it's empty. But I will tell
• 55:25
  Speaker 9: you demand was not fully healthy at Michigan to be
• 55:27
  Speaker 9: running around Okay, he got hurt at the end of
• 55:29
  Speaker 9: the previous week, and uh. Instructions and thoughts were like,
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: I can't take a ton of hits.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: And then we saw versus Illinois one of the biggest
• 55:38
  Speaker 9: hits on a run. So the kid is he's reckless
• 55:41
  Speaker 9: and not in a bad way because he's so crazy athletic.
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: The teams that have corralled it, they have done a
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: job of making sure their athletes have spied him, and
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: they play shallow underneath, okay, and deep over the top.
• 55:58
  Speaker 9: So all those facets mean that you have to have
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: to be able to run the football with Jonah Coleman
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: to get it started, because that changes how defenses start
• 56:08
  Speaker 9: to call. And do I want to see Demond Williams
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: win football games with his feet? Absolutely? If you're that electric,
• 56:17
  Speaker 9: you take advantage of This is college this is in
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: the NFL. We saw Jaden Daniels. If you run in
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: the NFL, all bets are off. Okay, that's the fact
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: that Lamar Smith has been able to do it so
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: long and stay upright. It's incredible. But he even is
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: starting to see what happens when you run in college football.
• 56:33
  Speaker 9: You have an athletic quarterback. You take advantage of it
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: one hundred out of one hundred times, and this is
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: what he needs to do in the stretch run towards
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: the end of the year, because it's a difference maker
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: of speed and extension of play that that is what
• 56:46
  Speaker 9: you have to do. And you call plays, guys, for
• 56:49
  Speaker 9: your best athletes. You don't call play because it sounds good.
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: You call plays like, hey, if this isn't there, go run, go,
• 56:56
  Speaker 9: get get a first down, get six yards. Just you
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: don't need to hold it and try to get everybody
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: involved all the time. Sometimes you're just a better guy
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: than the guys around you.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: You feel good right about a strong kick, a strong
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: finish to this season six and two coming off the
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: buy schedule shapes up nice and then you get to
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: close with THEA Ducks and possibly with a lot at steak.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: You feel good about this kick, right, I do?
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: I think that you had a bye week at the
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: right time. You got a great win versus Illinois. You're
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: getting healthier at the end of the season. Quinton Moore
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: has been reported he's going to come back healthy. Availability
• 57:32

• 57:35
  Speaker 9: in football. We're all available it's setting up to be
• 57:39

• 57:46
  Speaker 9: morning when you'd walk in, just do your blanking job.

  Speaker 4: to let you know Terry Fader is going to be
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: performing Saturday, November fifteenth at talalap Resort Casino. You can
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: get tickets at Ticketmaster and service fee free at t
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: Lalup and Quilcita Casino one club desks. He's that Vegas
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: impersonator who also a dozen personations while doing Ventrilli Qui
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: Ventralism with Vngela Kai. Yeah. Yes, yeah, so it's an
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: interesting act. He's obviously made quite a name for himself.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: And if you want to go see him November fifteenth,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: tickets available right now at a red hot price. I
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: don't think there's going to be a red hot price
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: for Terrek's Schooble when he becomes a free agent. As
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: a matter of fact, the rumors are he's seeking ten years,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: four hundred million minimum. Oh, that seems like something the
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: Mariners would never do.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 5: Well, Yeah, especially because Jim Bowden was on with Softy
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: yesterday and was like, yeah, the Tigers and schoobl were
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 5: three hundred million dollars apart.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I was like, I thought to myself, like, what are
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: they trying to pay him? Nothing? Like, how could you
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: be three hundred million apart? Now you've answered the question.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's seeking I mean, that's and that's about right.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: I mean the last big offer was Moto at twelve years,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: three twenty five. He's Yamamoto's not coming off back to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: back cy Young Awards, Yama Moto's not at the you know,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: as accomplished as what Tarrek Scouble has been in so
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: ten years. Four hundred million is probably what you're gonna
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: have to pay for the best pitcher, arguably in the world.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: And so is this something that the Mariners would be
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: willing to do. I don't think so. And yet there
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: are an awful lot of people, including Adam Jude who
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: wrote about it and he covers the team on a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: daily basis, and then Buster Only apparently just casually brought
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: it up in a conversation about Trek Scooble, just kind
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: of listing off teams that might be in the running
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: for a Trek Scooble trade this offseason since Detroit doesn't
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: want to pay him the big exorbitant salary going forward.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: And it doesn't quite feel like a fit to me.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't feel like something the Mariners are willing
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: to do. But maybe they've got a new lease on life.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe after getting nine outs from the World Series and
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: seeing what Josh Naylor a rental can contribute to a
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: baseball team, and Gino Suarez a rental hits a rand
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: slam looked like the biggest hit in Mariner's history at
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: the time. Maybe they've turned over a new leaf. Maybe
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: they are willing to consider this. I don't think they're
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: going to consider ten years, four hundred million.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think so they would.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 5: I would have to think that they all were sniffing
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 5: glue if they suddenly decided like, yeah, you know what,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 5: we're going to just drop everything we've done for the
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: last forty some years, although they haven't been the same,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: but you know, last twenty years, and we're just going
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: to do this.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: This seems like a great plan.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, I would I would think that somebody kidnapped
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: all of the actual Mariner's owners in front office and
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: replace them with clones, especially.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: Considering how set you seem to be at this position
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: with young and expensive players, you know, by comparison. Yeah,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: and so would they be interested in just bringing him
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: over for one year? All right, let's kick the tires
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: on that number one if you Okay, So the Tigers
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: don't want to pay a guy forty million dollars a year,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: that's all already had Tommy John surgery. Right, They're not
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: that type of organization. That's no problem. Dodgers, no problems. Yeah, Yankees,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: no problem. Probably even the Blue Jays, no problem. But
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: the Tigers aren't one of those teams. Mariners aren't one
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: of those teams.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: What.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: But but the Tigers are. You know, they were also
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs with us, right, and they also were
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: flirting with the best record in the American League for
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: much of the season. They're not about rebuilding, no, But
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: if you know you're not going to be able to
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: sign Schooble long term, what can you get for him
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: right now? So if the Mariners are like, okay, you
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 4: take Castillo's money off of our hands, and then we'll
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: give you a couple prospects as well, good not not
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: just the bottom of the barrel, but good prospects as well,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: and a go for it kind of move. We'll take
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: Tarrek's Schooble for one year and you get a top
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: of the rotation starter to add to your you know,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: or very minimum middle of the rotation starter and twenty
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: four million dollars per year that seems palatable versus forty
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: million dollars a year.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now you've got me thinking this is going to happen.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm saying, I'm trying to figure out how it
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: can happen. So if you talk, if the Tigers are like, yeah,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: we'll take Castillo and that money, but obviously we're going
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: to need some prospects as well. Here's the trade I
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: can compare it to last year. Kyle Tucker was available
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: from the Astros, and everybody in the sport knew it
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: was going to be a one year deal, and so
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: that drives down prices. That drives down the trade package
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: because you only get to keep the guy for one
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: year with no promise that you get to keep him
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: beyond well. They offered that the Astros got was Estoch Parades,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: an established good third baseman, Hayden west Neski, a major
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: league ready pitcher who didn't quite work out or hasn't
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: worked out just yet, and then Cam Smith, who ended
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: up being there starting right fielder even though he had
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: just gotten drafted. But he was rated the number seventy
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: three prospect in sport. So that's a pretty good haul
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: for a guy you know you're only going to keep
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: for one year, and it feels like the Cubs are
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: only going to keep them for one year. Feels like
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker did not like his time in Chicago and
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: wants to leave. Yeah, So yeah, that's the kind of
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: package that you're looking at. Right, there is that sort
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: of deal. So it's that's and to go to the Astros.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: The Astros are obviously still trying to compete. They weren't
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: looking to rebuild, and I got to believe that the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: Tigers are in that same sandbox. So if you are
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: going to add to Castillo, what about this kind of
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: package Castillo Logan Evans Cole Young, that's your cam Smith
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: equivalent and dom canzone those for it for trek Schouble
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: for one year, one year, and you haven't added to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: your You've actually subtracted from your payroll by making this
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: move because Scooble was projected in his last year of
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: arbitration to make twenty two and a half and the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: Rock is scheduled to make twenty four and a half.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: Plus you get rid of the contract that you would
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: ohe Luis beyond this year as well. So for one year,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: do you want the best pitcher in the world to
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: add to this rotation?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: You know wouldn't turn it down.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: Would you offer that package? Because I think that's probably
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: in the ballpark of where it would be.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: It has seems like an awful lot for one year.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I'd have to think about it.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: How about we just go after Kerry Carpenter so he
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: could stop murdering us every time we play them, because
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: I think you could get him for a lot less.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: I think you could get him if they get rid
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: of Scooble. You could probably throw the Castillo thing in there,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: and then you want to have to give up a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: Cole Young, I don't think. Maybe it's Castillo, Canzone and
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: Evans and you get Carpenter who only makes three point
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: five million dollars and is in the first year of
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: his arbitration, so you've got years of much.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: More Marior in a friendly Doesn't that sound much more.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: Like a Mariner deal? Plus we don't have to face
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: the guy anymore. You can't beat him join him.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so agreed.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: I think I think that makes more sense than pursuing Scooble.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: But we shall see. I won't take it off the board,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: but I don't think it's gonna happen, So I don't know.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think so either.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: I mean to be a bucket of cold water with
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: all these Schooble to Seattle, rumors floating around, but the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: idea of him coming home where he went to college,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: that's not a motivating factor. You know, whoever, whoever gets
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: him long term, is the team that's going to pay
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: the most money. Yeah, and I don't think that's going
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: to be us. All right, Coming up next, it's time
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: to green jacket draft. Yes, there's not a major sporting
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: event that's getting ready to get started, which is usually
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: what we draft, but we do this exercise every year
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: after the NFL trading deadline. It's time to make our
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl picks right now. Sports Radio ninety three points
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: kJ R fmcket.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 6: The Ryans and Otto there.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: Now Zoey the cord. Saucers are Tor the empty net
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: and left sit a well, cock it down in the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: high slot. Oh yeah, he saw up coming, Zoey the cord.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: He says it.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: He's always going for.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 10: It, especially up two goals with a fit and.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: A half left. Oh.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: It's always good to see Al Kanisky. And you know,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: you want to look good in front of Al. You
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 4: want to impress Al. Al's kind of like one of
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 4: those guys that you don't want to look like a fool,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: and he saw me do one of the two things
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: I'm worse at sweeping. I'm terrible at sweeping, and then
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: to eating quickly, trying to eat rapidly. I'm a very
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: deliberate eater, slow eater. I like that about myself. Yeah,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: he watched me just fail at it during the break,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: trying to eat rapidly quickly. So he's joined us here
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: in studio color analysts for your Seattle craft, Al Kanisky,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: Great to see you.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 10: Great to see you too, Chuck.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: How are you doing. I'm doing great. I'm doing great
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: and I can't wait to talk hockey with you. But
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: let's talk business first. You got a brand new sponsor,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 4: Queen Anne Beer Hall, home of the legendary smash Burger,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: and your pre, post and away game headquarters. Great place,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: and there's gonna be some sponsoring, not just your segment,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: but also some stuff during the broadcast.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, fantastic place to stop in before the game, after
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 10: the game when we're on the road. Food is fantastic.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 10: I'll tell you the best pretzels in town. That's not
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 10: just what I what I talk about on the read,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 10: but they are the best pret pretzels in town.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: Love them.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: It's such a great atmosphere. It's just wide open and
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: fans can just hang out and you don't feel too crowded,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: and yet it feels like you're all there as part
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: of one team.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 10: I like the fact that they have the long tables
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 10: where you just kind of pick a spot, sit down
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 10: with a group of people, meet some friends, and yeah,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 10: very community.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: Like, just don't die to grab any of OL's press
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: do not touch my pretzels. Yeah, will twist you in
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: a pretzel if you take his pretzel. Well, good to
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: see you, and good to see this hot start that
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: this team is off to. I mean, Lane Lambert feels
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: like he certainly got his introduced a new style, and
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: the roster seems to be responding to Yeah. Absolutely.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 10: You know, he came in midsummer and basically said I'm
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 10: going to make this team better defensively. I'm going to
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 10: improve the special teams. And initially you're like, well, wait
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 10: a second, this team's going to sit back and wait
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 10: for attacking teams in their own zone. No, they're defensive
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 10: all over the ice. When you have the puck, they
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 10: want it back, whether that's in your own end, in
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 10: front of you either net doesn't matter, they want it
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 10: back and that's the defensive mindset they have. And then
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 10: on the special team side, the last three games, they
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 10: are four and eight on the power play. Now I'm
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 10: not a math guy, I think that's somewhere around fifty percent, yeah,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 10: which is elite. In the NHL penalty kill over the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 10: last two games one hundred percent six for six, So
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 10: the special teams are really clicking right now. You couple
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 10: that with that defensive structure that Lane's brought in, the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 10: fact that Joey Decord's playing some of his best hockey
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 10: and they're still not fully healthy yet you still got
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 10: Jared mccannon on the sidelines, you still got Freddy Gudreau,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 10: Ryker Evans. Like every team deals with injuries, but when
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 10: the team is playing this well and they've still got
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 10: a couple of top guys to come back, that's exciting.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: So they are playing that well because sometimes a goalie
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: that's hot, and I think we do not just a
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: good goaltender, but a good goaltender playing really good hockey
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: right now can mask a lot of flaws. But you're
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: saying it goes beyond that. It's not just Joey Decord
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: save in the day. No, it's absolutely not. When you
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: look at block shots, guys like Adam Larson, Jamie Alexiak,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: you know, the players that tend to block a lot
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: of shots. You always need that, and goaltenders love that,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: but they're playing a big part in not letting pucks
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: get through to Joey Decord or whoever's a net for
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: the crack. And Joey Tocord has come up with some
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: big saves, but he's also had some tough, tough goals
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: as well that he'd tell you, I'd like to have
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: that back again. That the fact that this team is
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 4: playing so well as a team is a lot of
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: the reason why they're getting over the top or at
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: least get into a situation against top teams where they're
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: getting into overtime and they're still coming out with a point.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: We just played the highlight of the shot that Decord
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: had at scoring a goal. I mean, how you could
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: hear I was watching the television broadcast at the time.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: You could hear Old Check he's got a shot. He
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: just blurts it out. How rare is that for a
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: goalie to have that opportunity, I mean, much less a
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: goal Joey talked about it after the game.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 10: It's the situation that dictates whether or not he's going
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 10: to shoot the puck. And by situation he means ideally
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: they're up by two goals, because you don't want to
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 10: give away a scoring opportunity down by one when you're
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 10: trying to score on an empty net. But probably ideally
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 10: you're down by two goals. But he's a left handed shot,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 10: so when that puck comes behind the net over his
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: left shoulder, it was easy for him to turn up
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 10: ice and put a puck down at the other end.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 10: So situation only, no one was attacking him when he
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 10: got the puck. He was on his forehand. He was
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 10: able to elevate the puck. It was one more bounce
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 10: from finding his way into that empty cage. Oh, that's
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 10: been great.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 5: The best is though after like NHL tweeted out, Joey,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 5: the cord takes two shots on goal, and he retweeted
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 5: it and just wrote, Shooters Gonna shoot.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: Al Kiniski is with US color analyst for yours Seattle
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: Cracking right here on the flagship four Crack and Hockey
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: I asked this of Everett, and I never tried to
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: duplicate questions. We have ever on Tuesdays and you on
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 4: on Wednesday, so I try to keep them different types
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: of interviews and get different responses. But I'm curious your
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 4: response to this same question that I asked him yesterday.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: A lot of overtime games so far. Yeah, like six
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: of them, I think, and lost four of them. Is
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: that Laane Lambert feeling good because we're competing with everybody,
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: or is that Lane Lambert like we have got to
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: get two points out of some of these games and
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: not just come away with one.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 10: I think it's a little bit of both. I also
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 10: think it's the league in general. When you look at
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 10: the stats in the league over the first twelve games,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 10: small sample size, but so far this season you're seeing
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 10: more one goal games than you've seen since two thousand
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 10: and eight. So not since the seventies, but over the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 10: last seventeen years, it's trickled back to a lot of
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 10: one goal games. Now, is that the way that these
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 10: most of the teams are playing these tight defensive games.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 10: I don't know, we'll see, but I think that the
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 10: Lane Lambert is getting his team comfortable being in one
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 10: nothing games midway through the games, two one games late
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 10: in the game. And I think when you can keep
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 10: a team below three goals against, it just makes the
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 10: opportunity to win so much better. You don't have to
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 10: put four to win five to four. You might only
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 10: have to put in two or three to win a
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 10: three to two games. So I think when you don't
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 10: have maybe a top ten forward in the league on
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 10: your team, you're relied on that. You're relying on that
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 10: depth of scoring where it can come from anybody, but
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 10: there's no real breakout guy on the team that's going
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 10: to take the team on its back and go score
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 10: three goals so you can win four to two. So
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 10: I think this style aligns very well with this This
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 10: personnel on this team.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: Maddy Baniers has been such a story the moment he
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: got drafted. Here. Maybe we've been a little disappointed with
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: the results we've seen the last couple of years, but
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: I get from your analysis that you feel like he's
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: having a bounce back season.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 10: So yeah, one hundred percent. And you might say, well, geez,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 10: you know, two goals on on the stat sheets so far,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 10: but you have to look at his complete game. His
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 10: complete game has grown this year. You see it when
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 10: he doesn't have the puck. You see it when he's attacking,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 10: playing that defensive hockey. I talked about that lane Lambert
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 10: talk at Lane Lambert defensive hockey. He pursues pucks so
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 10: much stronger, so much faster. Now you watch how quickly
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 10: he gets up to speed. A lot of the things
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 10: that I think are better about his game this year
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 10: are when he doesn't have the pocket. It just makes
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 10: for a more well rounded two hundred foot player.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: Tolvenen doesn't have a goal yet. Should we be worried
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: about that? I mean, that's kind of his game.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 10: Well, again, it goes back to what I talked about
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 10: with the injuries, and you've got guys out that haven't
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 10: really been able to contribute that much. Tolvidan's one of
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 10: those guys. If he can start clicking, it just deepens
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 10: that offensive pool even even more so. I think what
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 10: we're going to see tonight in this game against San
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 10: Jose is they're going to put him up on the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 10: top line with Beniers in every Is that because of
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 10: how well he's been playing, I don't think so. It's
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 10: probably because they're trying to unleash the tolv shot. Unleash
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 10: the unleash the Tolvy confidence. Get him some points in
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 10: this game. Now, if they go out and put a
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 10: bunch of points in, he might stay on that line
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 10: for a bit. But they're trying to break him open
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 10: a little bit to get him some confidence going into
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 10: this season.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: He got the Sharks tonight. You got him twice in
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 4: the next ten eleven days. They have been one of
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: the worst teams in the NHL the last couple of years,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: in full rebuild mode. Where are they right now?
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they're a team that is I wouldn't use the
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 10: word struggling. They are a team that's on the on
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 10: the other side of a rebuild. You've got a top
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 10: line of Tyler Toffoley, Macwin, Celebrini and Will Smith that
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 10: can hurt you every single time there on the ice. Offensively,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 10: you've got a strong blue line out there. This is
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 10: a team that battles every game. They may not necessarily
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 10: look like the Florida Panthers last season, but they're a
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 10: team that's up and coming and if you sleep on them,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 10: they'll burn you, especially with that top line.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: Uh, do you ever just just hang Benton on a hook,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: just leave them in the locker? Have you ever been
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: tempted to do that?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: Bet you just stop talking about Berkeley Cat and I'm
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: just going to leave you here. You ever do that?
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 10: No, no, No, Mike, Betton and I have a lot
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 10: of good conversations and none of it involves hanging them
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 10: in a locker.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: You just don't say it out loud. You think about
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: it though, exactly.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: Mike, Mike.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 10: Mike's like like Fits and Eye little brother. You know,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 10: we make fun of them, we have we we push
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 10: them around, but don't let me find anybody else making
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 10: fun of them, because we will put you down.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: Ah, You and Fits might be. Are you guys like
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: the the biggest strangest tandem and radio hockey broadcast?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 10: We visit thirty one other cities and I haven't found
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 10: another radio tandem that pound for pound is in our
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 10: weight class. So I think I think we win that
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 10: wrestling match.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: Well, good to see you again, Queen Anne beer Hall.
• 1:18:29

• 1:18:54
