Speaker 1: Sunday night, game two of the Divisional round of the playoffs.
2:13
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on, I mean, there is
2:15
Speaker 1: too much going on. Let's isolate one thing at a time.
2:19
Speaker 1: Let's talk Seahawks football with Greg Bell.
2:22
Speaker 2: I'll be out there tomorrow covering it for the News Tribune,
2:24
Speaker 2: writing the game story. Nice five o'clock start, hopes, Yeah,
2:27
Speaker 2: looking for and I'll run over Sunday after the Seahawks
2:30
Speaker 2: and catch the end of it.
2:31
Speaker 1: I goes, you're like Dion primetime Sanders, you really are writing.
2:37
Speaker 2: Do you remember that when he flew from an NFL
2:39
Speaker 2: game to Pittsburgh for Atlantic I think it was a
2:43
Speaker 2: clincher if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, the same day he played,
2:47
Speaker 2: he played in Miami, returned, I think he returned to
2:49
Speaker 2: punt for a touchdown, got on a private jet, flew
2:51
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh and played a night game for the Braves
2:53
Speaker 2: against the Pirates in the.
2:55
Speaker 1: You l Yeah, and that's what I'll go into training
2:57
Speaker 1: camp because that was a rookie season. It was his
3:00
Speaker 1: first training camp and so he was playing baseball for
3:03
Speaker 1: the Brave, so he didn't go to training camp at all.
3:05
Speaker 1: He just showed up in Atlanta to return punts and kickoffs,
3:10
Speaker 1: and his first time he touched the football.
3:12
Speaker 3: He went for a touchdown. He's pretty easy. That's the
3:15
Speaker 3: easy game.
3:16
Speaker 1: That's the Sanders for you right there. Well, it's gonna
3:19
Speaker 1: be fun this weekend, and are you are you kind
3:23
Speaker 1: of glad? Are the Seahawks glad that they didn't have
3:25
Speaker 1: to worry about a schedule change for Sunday?
3:30
Speaker 2: Well, it was only looking like an hour hour and
3:32
Speaker 2: a half difference, probably two thirty if it would have
3:34
Speaker 2: been an earlier start. It wasn't gonna be a gigantic deal.
3:38
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean everything status quo is more comfortable
3:41
Speaker 2: for everybody, but not a huge, huge deal at this point. Seriously,
3:45
Speaker 2: And Mike McDonald said so many words, but the feeling
3:48
Speaker 2: I would take around town is whatever for the Mariners playoffs,
3:52
Speaker 2: We'll do whatever you need to do. Clear the decks.
3:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean heading into this thing, I mean,
3:57
Speaker 4: how are they feeling? It looks like on and obviously
4:00
Speaker 4: there's not played on paper that they're healthier, that they're
4:04
Speaker 4: getting back to health with a couple of guys coming back,
4:07
Speaker 4: whereas the Buccaneers are not. So how are they feeling?
4:10
Speaker 2: Buck here's a lengthy, lengthy injury list, you're right, including
4:14
Speaker 2: some linemen including Bucky Irving. We've talked all week about him.
4:17
Speaker 2: And then how I feel that could change the whole game,
4:19
Speaker 2: and how Seattle defends Baker Mayfield. If they're not a
4:23
Speaker 2: threat to run, I will caveat it again. Never shot
4:25
Speaker 2: a White had one of only three one hundred yard
4:28
Speaker 2: rushing days against a much different Seahork defense in Munich
4:32
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. But Bucky Irving's status, he's in a
4:35
Speaker 2: walking boot this week. If he can't play, we'll find
4:37
Speaker 2: that out this afternoon. You would think that would make
4:40
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers almost entirely dependent on Baker Mayfield, not just growing,
4:46
Speaker 2: but running as well. And one dimensional offenses have struggled
4:49
Speaker 2: in this year and a half under Mike McDonald against
4:52
Speaker 2: the Seahawks defense. The Seahawks defense is good right now
4:56
Speaker 2: this week, have been missing three starters. Devin Witherson hasn't
4:59
Speaker 2: practic this Bruce knee, that to me seems a little
5:03
Speaker 2: more like a maintenance thing that he'll probably play again.
5:05
Speaker 2: He played eight days ago in Arizona. Julian Love, the
5:11
Speaker 2: Pro Bowls safety, hasn't practiced. He's been doing a hamstring
5:14
Speaker 2: maintenance for the last two weeks. He played last week.
5:17
Speaker 2: I'd expect he'd probably be able to play. The Marcus
5:19
Speaker 2: Lawrence maybe not. The starting defensive tackle has been out
5:23
Speaker 2: of practice all week, so there's if he statuses on
5:27
Speaker 2: three starters. If Witherspoon can't play, Tariq Wollan probably will play.
5:32
Speaker 2: But if Witherspoon plays as I expect him to, the Seahawks,
5:37
Speaker 2: the defense seems to be hedging toward perhaps Darien Kendrick
5:41
Speaker 2: getting more playing time as an inside nickel and putting
5:43
Speaker 2: Devin Witherspen out on the slot. There's been talk about
5:46
Speaker 2: that this week, and that would be Woolan as the
5:50
Speaker 2: odd man out. Because McDonald loves Josh Job, I mean
5:53
Speaker 2: loves him. He loves how he attacks the ball, he
5:55
Speaker 2: loves how he tackles, makes plays, just consistency his work.
6:00
Speaker 2: He really likes Josh Jobs. So Darren Kendrick has earned
6:04
Speaker 2: more time. We'll see if he gets At Sunday.
6:06
Speaker 1: Greg Bell, it's with us our Seahawks inside. You can
6:08
Speaker 1: follow him at GBL Seattle on X and of course
6:10
Speaker 1: Thenewstribune dot com, where you not only get Seahawks coverage
6:13
Speaker 1: this weekend, you're going to get Mariner's coverage as well
6:15
Speaker 1: from Greg Bell. So make sure you're double dipping there
6:19
Speaker 1: at the Newstribune dot com. You know, it seems like
6:23
Speaker 1: everybody arrived at the conclusion. And when I say everybody,
6:26
Speaker 1: everybody that we've talked to, from you to Hugh too,
6:29
Speaker 1: even us, we even we saw that Vidavea could be
6:33
Speaker 1: a problem on Sunday against the maybe the question mark
6:38
Speaker 1: of the team, that interior offensive line. So how do
6:42
Speaker 1: you how do you?
6:43
Speaker 2: So?
6:43
Speaker 1: I think it's probably obvious to coach McDonald too, So
6:47
Speaker 1: what do you think the game plan is for not
6:50
Speaker 1: letting him blow up the offense on Sunday?
6:54
Speaker 2: I would think they're going to try to double team
6:56
Speaker 2: him inside. I mean, in general terms, it's five against
7:00
Speaker 2: four on the offensive line and interior play, and I
7:05
Speaker 2: would think they're going to devote Sundell and or Bradford
7:08
Speaker 2: and or Gray Zabel from left guard to right guard
7:12
Speaker 2: on THEA. I talked to Zabel yesterday and he says, man,
7:15
Speaker 2: this guy's a good player. Of course, he's never played him,
7:18
Speaker 2: he's a rookie, but he started watching on film. He's
7:21
Speaker 2: just so fast. He's watched him before when he was
7:24
Speaker 2: in college, admiring his game, and he said, he's just
7:27
Speaker 2: so Vea is so fast for being three hundred plus pounds,
7:31
Speaker 2: and that's the task. But that is Zabel's strength, getting
7:34
Speaker 2: off the ball. I mentioned that if you just step
7:36
Speaker 2: back and watch a Seahawks practice or even a game
7:39
Speaker 2: for that matter, from the press box, and you just
7:41
Speaker 2: watch five helmets come off the ball. For the Seahawks
7:44
Speaker 2: offensive Zabel's is always the first one, always from since
7:48
Speaker 2: he got here in May. That's going to come in
7:51
Speaker 2: handy this week because the quickness off the snap on
7:54
Speaker 2: top of his strength is what bea beats most guys
7:56
Speaker 2: at So again, as I mentioned yesterday, if I'm the box,
8:01
Speaker 2: I'd go to the weaker spot. I wouldn't go after Zabel.
8:04
Speaker 2: I would slam via toward the right side of the
8:06
Speaker 2: Seahawks offensive line and give it Anthony Branford's long day.
8:10
Speaker 2: We'll say they do that, But if they do do that,
8:12
Speaker 2: I would expect Jaylensendell to help. There a lot of
8:15
Speaker 2: blocking down from the tackles, likely to come from A
8:18
Speaker 2: Lucas on the right side and Charles Cross on the
8:20
Speaker 2: left side to Vera. But you can't devote everybody to
8:23
Speaker 2: him because they've still got defensive players behind him. That
8:27
Speaker 2: this is an attacking, swarming defense much like Mike McDonald's,
8:32
Speaker 2: and it's gonna test them. It's gonna test Seattle's willingness
8:35
Speaker 2: and will power to run the ball, which they're really
8:37
Speaker 2: trying to establish. They've yet to do it this season.
8:40
Speaker 4: Gee, I mean, just you know, through four games, their
8:43
Speaker 4: stats show that they're pretty good against their run as well.
8:46
Speaker 2: How long Yeah, fourth and fifth in the league.
8:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, how long do you expect Kubiak and company and
8:52
Speaker 4: McDonald two to go? And how much should they commit
8:56
Speaker 4: to running the ball just to make sure that they're
8:58
Speaker 4: keeping them honest even if it's not working.
9:01
Speaker 2: Well, we've seen that all so far four games, they're
9:04
Speaker 2: going to do just that, So I would expect them
9:06
Speaker 2: to do just that again on Sunday, bucket. And I've
9:09
Speaker 2: told you all off season, preseason, they're gonna be times
9:11
Speaker 2: that they're running the ball when it looks fruitless, and
9:14
Speaker 2: they're doing it with intent to instill an attitude, a habit,
9:18
Speaker 2: and tendencies that defenses have to honor the playing I
9:23
Speaker 2: can't overstate it's as simple terms to say it, but
9:26
Speaker 2: making a defense play you honestly is so important in
9:30
Speaker 2: the NFL, but especially for this offensive line. We have
9:33
Speaker 2: seen this, even in the newest iteration of this offensive line,
9:36
Speaker 2: we have seen when they have to just drop back
9:38
Speaker 2: and throw if they're down multiple scores, or they've just
9:42
Speaker 2: abandoned the run. We've seen the results for Seattle in
9:44
Speaker 2: the last ten years. It's helter skelter the quarterback. It
9:49
Speaker 2: looks like you're playing on the playground running after the quarterback.
9:52
Speaker 2: It's just everybody chasing after him like it's a jail break.
9:55
Speaker 2: That's exactly what they don't want. And so when you
9:58
Speaker 2: see them running on second and eight, or you see
10:01
Speaker 2: them perhaps even running three plays and punt, that's why.
10:05
Speaker 2: And that doesn't help the fans screaming, yelling why they're
10:08
Speaker 2: doing that? Why we punting after three runs or two
10:10
Speaker 2: runs on second and long. It's the long game that
10:15
Speaker 2: McDonald is really interested in the process. He does its
10:18
Speaker 2: lip service for coaches to say the process of a result,
10:21
Speaker 2: but he lives it and he is China's still only
10:24
Speaker 2: a year plus four games into his regime. He doesn't
10:28
Speaker 2: see this as a week to week proposition. In his mind,
10:31
Speaker 2: he's only thirty seven years old. He sees this is
10:33
Speaker 2: a decade to decade proposition. He thinks he's gonna be
10:35
Speaker 2: here for the longest time and he wants this process
10:38
Speaker 2: to take root. So they're gonna run come hell high
10:42
Speaker 2: water or getting stoned at the line of screamings they're
10:44
Speaker 2: gonna run Tampa. It would appear is going to be
10:47
Speaker 2: one of these games where it's gonna look ugly running
10:49
Speaker 2: the ball times.
10:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they better be able to run on Sunday.
10:53
Speaker 1: That I know that you talk about it every week,
10:56
Speaker 1: but I think they have to be able to run
10:58
Speaker 1: on Sunday or I don't think Sam Donald can pass
11:01
Speaker 1: them out of trouble, not against this defense. That's just mine.
11:04
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing about this team and the way
11:06
Speaker 2: McDonald's building it. He's trying to build it in a team.
11:10
Speaker 2: If they get stopped in the run and have to throw,
11:12
Speaker 2: and then a team takes away Donald, they can still
11:14
Speaker 2: win with their defense. That's what McDonald wants to do.
11:17
Speaker 2: I keep thinking of what Jake Bobo told me during
11:19
Speaker 2: training camp. He said, Greg, this offense is just here
11:23
Speaker 2: to make sure we don't screw it up so the
11:25
Speaker 2: defense can go win the games. He's, yeah, of course,
11:28
Speaker 2: you want to score thirty points a game, and then
11:30
Speaker 2: may maybe times we have to do that. I have
11:32
Speaker 2: to throw the ball more, but basically we want to
11:34
Speaker 2: control the game enough to have field position and even
11:37
Speaker 2: if we don't score, we get to midfield and make
11:39
Speaker 2: them punt into their own end and have them done
11:41
Speaker 2: because their defense is most times is not going to
11:44
Speaker 2: give up ninety yard touchdown drives. That's the goal for
11:46
Speaker 2: the offense is to go let the defense win the game.
11:49
Speaker 2: This might be one of those weekends.
11:51
Speaker 1: I know we've asked you about this all week long,
11:53
Speaker 1: but I think it's just a big storyline. And so
11:55
Speaker 1: for those that may be hearing Greg for the first
11:57
Speaker 1: time this week, nick emon Wori getting active here. I mean,
12:02
Speaker 1: how many different places is he going to be to
12:05
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's eye on a Sunday.
12:09
Speaker 2: At least five? I would think, Wow, you're gonna get
12:12
Speaker 2: them full nick e men worry experience, what they intended
12:16
Speaker 2: to do, what they did all training camp, what I
12:17
Speaker 2: saw every day in practice in the summer. Now this
12:20
Speaker 2: is basically his debut. As I mentioned, only played four
12:23
Speaker 2: snaps of the opener before he got the high ankle sprain.
12:25
Speaker 2: He hasn't played since. He's practiced full go all week,
12:29
Speaker 2: and they played him at cover safety in the slot,
12:32
Speaker 2: outside linebacker, deep safety, too high safety in the back.
12:37
Speaker 2: In those four plays, three different positions. Suffice to say,
12:40
Speaker 2: you're going to see him as the only linebacker next
12:43
Speaker 2: to Ernest Jones at times, and you're going to see
12:45
Speaker 2: him in the flat covering tight ends and running backs
12:48
Speaker 2: as an outside eyebary. That's five different positions. That's at
12:51
Speaker 2: least what you'll see him at. And then we'll begin
12:54
Speaker 2: to see from here what he does beyond that. Do
12:57
Speaker 2: they blitz him a lot? Do they fake blitz them?
12:59
Speaker 2: Do they drop him the coverage? He's there, Kyle Hamilton,
13:04
Speaker 2: they said at the night they drafted him, we're going
13:05
Speaker 2: to start seeing more of that said, You're going to
13:07
Speaker 2: see number three and Royal Blue throwbacks all over the
13:11
Speaker 2: field and send it.
13:14
Speaker 4: How good are you feeling as far as front seven
13:17
Speaker 4: or even more so, just the guys getting after the
13:19
Speaker 4: passer that they're going to be able to disrupt what
13:21
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield has been looking like as of late, Man.
13:26
Speaker 2: Bucky, I think Baker Mayfield is better than Kyler Murray
13:28
Speaker 2: at extending plays, running and HEARDing you. Murray can just
13:33
Speaker 2: flat speed rush, get outside and be faster than you.
13:36
Speaker 2: And a couple of the edge rushers for the Seahawks
13:39
Speaker 2: learn that the Marcus Lawrence got hurt chasing Kyler Murray outside,
13:43
Speaker 2: heard his thigh running outside trying to catch up to him.
13:45
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield will run you over. He goes straight upfield.
13:49
Speaker 2: He's not so much lateral horizontal getting around you. He'll
13:54
Speaker 2: just go and get twelve yards. And not to mention,
13:57
Speaker 2: he's a better passer than Kyler mu So when he
14:01
Speaker 2: extended Sten's plays, he'll still kill you throwing the ball
14:04
Speaker 2: very accurately. He's a swashbuckling guy, something of a wild
14:09
Speaker 2: card that does take risks. It's his personality, that's been
14:12
Speaker 2: his mo That's why he's been with what it is
14:15
Speaker 2: four teams and five whatever it is, and now he's
14:18
Speaker 2: resurrected his career in Tampa Bay to get one hundred
14:20
Speaker 2: million dollar contract, much like the career arc of Darnold.
14:24
Speaker 2: I think Baker Mayfield's far more dangerous than last week's quarterback.
14:27
Speaker 2: Probably the most dangerous. Well, it's not even a reach
14:30
Speaker 2: to say in five games this is the most dangerous
14:32
Speaker 2: quarterback they're going to play in terms of extending plays
14:34
Speaker 2: and still killing you. Run are past. They got to
14:37
Speaker 2: be disciplined. You hear that all the time. Rush discipline.
14:40
Speaker 2: What does that mean. That means rush from outside in.
14:42
Speaker 2: That means just don't go to the quarterback, but go
14:44
Speaker 2: to a spot that is hemming him inside, so your
14:47
Speaker 2: buddy inside can help pressure him as well. Leonard Williams,
14:51
Speaker 2: for all the accolades he gets for his numbers, is
14:54
Speaker 2: really good at knowing his teammates pass rush lanes, complimentary passers,
15:00
Speaker 2: not just freelancing trying to go get himself rushing from
15:03
Speaker 2: outside ind and oh, by the way, has eleven sacks
15:06
Speaker 2: in the last eleven games. Letter Williams. Mike Bethal said
15:10
Speaker 2: this week he thinks McDonald Williams should get a ton
15:13
Speaker 2: more national love than he's getting. That guy dominates most games.
15:18
Speaker 2: If you just watch to see how game along the
15:20
Speaker 2: line of screamings through the binoculars or even on Naked
15:22
Speaker 2: Eye on TV ninety nine, just rex dudes from outside
15:26
Speaker 2: in and crashes tackles on top of guards, pushes tackles
15:31
Speaker 2: into running backs, run over running backs that are trying
15:33
Speaker 2: to block them. He's been all that in the bag
15:37
Speaker 2: of chips since they traded from the Giants for him.
15:39
Speaker 2: I wrote a story about him in the News Tribune
15:41
Speaker 2: about how he remodeled his house that overlooks the Lake
15:44
Speaker 2: Washington on the hill there behind the Seahorks headquarters, with
15:47
Speaker 2: a bunch of recovery equipment, hyperbaric chambers, infrared sauna, hot
15:52
Speaker 2: and cold tubs, massage tables, the whole nine. They all
15:55
Speaker 2: do that. They have the money to do that. But
15:58
Speaker 2: Williams thinks it really has helped his career because he
16:00
Speaker 2: didn't embrace that until midway through it. He said, the
16:03
Speaker 2: first half six dozen, six half years of his career
16:07
Speaker 2: with the Giants and Jets, he just thought he was
16:09
Speaker 2: a young guy, could do whatever he wanted. And now
16:11
Speaker 2: that he's thirty plus, he's really embraced this self recovery
16:15
Speaker 2: at home all right.
16:17
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds remaining what's the key to a Seahawks win
16:21
Speaker 1: on Sunday?
16:24
Speaker 2: Containing Vidavea on the offensive line, not having him completely
16:28
Speaker 2: wrecked the day. There aren't many times a nose tackle
16:31
Speaker 2: can be capable of that, but against this team and
16:33
Speaker 2: this offensive line, he is and Baker Mayfield, because it
16:38
Speaker 2: looks like they're not going to have Bucky Irving in
16:40
Speaker 2: the run game. Contain Baker Mayfield. Don't let him do
16:44
Speaker 2: what he's done to resurrect his career, extend plays, run
16:48
Speaker 2: for twelve yards, throw passes across the field, across his body.
16:52
Speaker 2: It is going to be the Baker Mayfield experience on Sunday.
16:55
Speaker 2: McDonald has in a short time here has a good
16:58
Speaker 2: track record of taking away team's best assets. The best
17:02
Speaker 2: asset for Tampa Bay on offense is Baker Mayfield.
17:05
Speaker 1: All right, awesome stuff, Thank you sir, Thank you all
17:07
Speaker 1: week long. Enjoy your double dip over the weekend, and
17:11
Speaker 1: we'll catch up on Monday morning.

Speaker 2: We will. We'll have a few things to talk about
17:15
Speaker 2: on Monday, won't we enjoy the weekend, enjoy the Mariners
17:18
Speaker 2: and Seahawks. Thanks all right, Greg.

Speaker 1: play some factor fiction at seven thirty five. Plus we
17:41
Speaker 1: hear from Rick Neuheisel before the college football weekend on
17:44
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM Rank Factor fiction
17:54
Speaker 1: coming your way at seven thirty five. It's my pick
17:57
Speaker 1: today to close out the week, be listening for your
18:00
Speaker 1: opportunity to win one thousand dollars in cash. Of course,
18:03
Speaker 1: college football this weekend not as great as the last weekend,
18:06
Speaker 1: but you don't get much better than that. But certainly
18:10
Speaker 1: a lot of good games are going to be going
18:12
Speaker 1: down Saturday. And Rick new Isel was with us earlier
18:16
Speaker 1: this week on Tuesday talking about all of the big games,
18:19
Speaker 1: including Virginia and Louisville. As the Cavaliers enter this week
18:23
Speaker 1: ranked for the first time this season, and yet they're
18:26
Speaker 1: touchdown underdogs against the Louisville Cardinals. I ass coach new
18:30
Speaker 1: Isa what he makes of this game.
18:31
Speaker 5: By the way, Virginia ranked twenty fourth, Florida State ranked eighteenth. Yeah,
18:39
Speaker 5: both with loss, you figure, you figure Florida State. The
18:45
Speaker 5: Florida State victory was a huge one for Tony Elliott,
18:50
Speaker 5: the head coach at Virginia. The Virginia Louisville game is
18:53
Speaker 5: a absolute must watch game. I think it's going to
18:57
Speaker 5: be fascinating to see the two quarterback. Chandler Morris is
19:01
Speaker 5: the quarterback for Virginia. He's been kind of a you know,
19:05
Speaker 5: travel around the country type of guy. He was going
19:08
Speaker 5: to go to Arkansas, where his dad was a coach.
19:10
Speaker 5: The dad gets fired, he goes to TCU, that doesn't
19:13
Speaker 5: work out. He goes to North Texas. Then he gets
19:17
Speaker 5: transfers to Virginia and he's having a great year. Miller
19:21
Speaker 5: Moss was at FC he gets fence. Now he's at Louisville.
19:27
Speaker 5: The two quarterbacks are going to be on display here.
19:29
Speaker 5: I kind of like Louisville in the home setting, but
19:34
Speaker 5: should be a.
19:35
Speaker 2: Whale of a game.
19:36
Speaker 1: You brought up Florida State. Now, there was a time
19:39
Speaker 1: when I was younger, you were younger. I mean I
19:41
Speaker 1: realized that they consider Michigan and Ohio State the greatest
19:45
Speaker 1: rivalry in sports. But there was a time in my
19:50
Speaker 1: youth where the only game you can only want to
19:52
Speaker 1: watch one college football game on an entire season, you
19:57
Speaker 1: watched Miami versus Florida State. I mean, that's just how
20:01
Speaker 1: great those programs were once upon a time. And here
20:04
Speaker 1: they are both ranked heading into this weekend. Miami may
20:08
Speaker 1: bee special again. What do you think of three Miami
20:11
Speaker 1: versus eighteen Florida State Saturday?
20:14
Speaker 5: Florida State is the number one offense in the country,
20:19
Speaker 5: Miami is the number one defense in the ACC. Miami's
20:24
Speaker 5: the number four offense in the ACC, and Florida State's
20:27
Speaker 5: the number three defense in the ACC. This is a
20:30
Speaker 5: great game, and the fact that Florida State's been bloodied
20:34
Speaker 5: up a little bit by that loss at Virginia puts
20:37
Speaker 5: a little heat on him. This is in Tallahassee. We
20:40
Speaker 5: saw that crowd impact the game hugely against Alabama to
20:44
Speaker 5: start the season. This to me is a monster, monster game,
20:48
Speaker 5: like you I remember why right, So this is I
20:54
Speaker 5: can't wait to watch it.
20:55
Speaker 2: But I'm going to call for the Seminoles to win
20:57
Speaker 2: the game.
20:58
Speaker 1: Going for the Seminoles to win the game? Nice, all right?
21:02
Speaker 1: Another ACC game that I wanted to bring up. Who's
21:06
Speaker 1: having a worst time this year? Dabo Sweeney or Bill Belichick?
21:09
Speaker 1: And who's it more important to win this game Saturday?
21:13
Speaker 5: They're both miserable. They're both miserable right now. But the
21:18
Speaker 5: good news is Belichick used to being miserable. He's been
21:21
Speaker 5: miserable his whole life, so he's way more comfortable. But
21:26
Speaker 5: I like Davos teams to get off the mat. It's
21:32
Speaker 5: been a bizarre year. I can't understand why they're struggling,
21:36
Speaker 5: but the struggle bus isn't as bad as it is
21:38
Speaker 5: in Chapel Bill. So I'm gonna go with Clemson in
21:41
Speaker 5: that game and look for kay Klubnik to get back
21:45
Speaker 5: on the right side of things.
21:46
Speaker 1: Rig new Isiol joins every Tuesday at nine o'clock. Also
21:50

Speaker 1: to be a busy couple of days around these here
22:42
Speaker 1: parts is going to tell you that busy couple of days.
22:45
Speaker 1: All right, let's play some factor fiction.
22:47
Speaker 3: What do you say?
22:48
Speaker 1: Where's that to go? Glad you're with us.
22:49
Speaker 6: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
22:53
Speaker 6: ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's factor fiction, probably presented
22:58
Speaker 6: by Lucky Eagle, cause you knowing hotel where every day
23:01
Speaker 6: feels lucky. Fact Or fiction is on Sports Radio ninety
23:06
Speaker 6: three point three KJR FM.
23:10
Speaker 1: Well, I had a really strong feeling about a particular game,
23:14
Speaker 1: but it got stolen from me at the very last
23:17
Speaker 1: minute by Richard L.
23:18
Speaker 3: Fane.
23:19
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm not gonna be thrown off
23:21
Speaker 1: because I still have a really strong feeling about that
23:24
Speaker 1: same game, and I think it's gonna be a low scoring, ugly,
23:29
Speaker 1: sloppy affair. So I'm gonna go ahead and take the
23:31
Speaker 1: over under. I can figure out my way around your
23:34
Speaker 1: evil ways, Dick Fane. Do Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead
23:38
Speaker 1: and take the under forty two between the Saints and
23:43
Speaker 1: the Giants. I think Jackson Dart made a classic rookie
23:47
Speaker 1: mistake by announcing before he plays an NFL team that
23:52
Speaker 1: he's carrying a chip on his shoulder because the Saints
23:55
Speaker 1: didn't draft him. Oh well, Jackson Dart, you're getting ready
23:59
Speaker 1: for you second start. They've got film on you.
24:02
Speaker 2: Now.
24:03
Speaker 1: They're gonna make life miserable for you tomorrow. They were
24:05
Speaker 1: gonna do that before. You've added a little extra sauce
24:09
Speaker 1: to the recipe. So I think it's gonna be ugly.
24:11
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be low scoring. I think the
24:13
Speaker 1: Saints are gonna come out on top and this one,
24:16
Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be under forty two points.
24:19
Speaker 1: So give me the under forty two total points between
24:23
Speaker 1: the Giants and the Saints down in the Big Easy
24:26
Speaker 1: on the Sunday morning. All right, if you agree with
24:30
Speaker 1: that selection, what you're gonna do is you're gonna text
24:32
Speaker 1: fact to four nine four five to one. If you
24:34
Speaker 1: disagree with it, you're gonna text fiction to four nine
24:37
Speaker 1: four five one. If you're right, we enter your name
24:40
Speaker 1: into a drawing for one thousand dollars in cash provided
24:43
Speaker 1: by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel, where every day, every
24:48
Speaker 1: day people get it lucky. So what you're gonna do then,
24:51
Speaker 1: is if if once you get into the drawing, you've
24:54
Speaker 1: got a shot at that thousand dollars. But you can
24:56
Speaker 1: get into the drawing up to twenty times. Okay, so
24:59
Speaker 1: every time we play, you play. If you get it right,
25:02
Speaker 1: we put your name back in the drawing again. And
25:04
Speaker 1: if you're playing for the first time, man, you can
25:06
Speaker 1: win it in just one shot. I wouldn't recommend it.
25:09
Speaker 1: You should play every time we play, but you can
25:11
Speaker 1: win it in just one shot. That's the beauty of
25:15
Speaker 1: fact or fiction. And if you play enough, you could
25:18
Speaker 1: end up winning our ten thousand dollars jackpot. But you
25:20
Speaker 1: have to get the most correct answers throughout the football
25:24
Speaker 1: season by playing factor fiction. So here's your latest opportunity
25:28
Speaker 1: to get into that thousand dollars drawing for the week
25:30
Speaker 1: it is taking. I'm taking the under forty two total
25:34
Speaker 1: points between the Giants and the Saints. If you agree
25:36
Speaker 1: with that pick, go ahead and text fact to four
25:38
Speaker 1: nine four or five to one. If you disagree with
25:41
Speaker 1: the selection, text fiction to four nine four or five one.
25:44
Speaker 3: There you go, There you go.
25:46
Speaker 4: I mean you're taking if you want to win money, Yeah,
25:48
Speaker 4: I mean, if you don't like money.
25:49
Speaker 3: Don't text in fact or fiction. I can't really tell
25:53
Speaker 3: you which one you should text it.
25:54
Speaker 1: You don't like money, You're an idiot.
25:56
Speaker 3: It really is true.
25:58
Speaker 1: You know, money is ness.
26:00
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want you to be married to money, like,
26:02
Speaker 4: you know, rule your life things.
26:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's helpful. It is a good tool to have.
26:07
Speaker 4: Is a great We're just giving you a thousand dollars
26:09
Speaker 4: every week and then ten grand at the end of
26:11
Speaker 4: the year, probably just texting a word.
26:14
Speaker 1: That's the key right there, is Like you work really
26:16
Speaker 1: hard for all the money you do have. Why not
26:20
Speaker 1: get some money that you didn't have to work that
26:21
Speaker 1: hard for. I've met people that don't like ice cream.
26:25
Speaker 1: I've never met anyone that didn't like a little extra money. Yeah,
26:28
Speaker 1: no one's ever liked that.
26:29
Speaker 3: You've never spoken to those people again, have you?
26:32
Speaker 1: I don't need the extra free cash? Thanks, I'm good?
26:36
Speaker 1: All right? Coming up next, a preview of our new
26:40
Speaker 1: opponent for the weekend, the Detroit Tigers. It comes your
26:44
Speaker 1: way next Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r
26:46
Speaker 1: f M. All right, we know it. We've got all
27:04
Speaker 1: the information that we need for a series. The Mariners
27:09
Speaker 1: will be in action tomorrow night in the Divisional round
27:11
Speaker 1: of the Major League Baseball Playoffs. We got to skip
27:14
Speaker 1: all that wild card stuff that the losers had to
27:17
Speaker 1: go through, and now we face the Detroit Tigers tomorrow
27:21
Speaker 1: night at five point thirty, game one of a five
27:24
Speaker 1: game series in the Divisional round of the playoffs.
27:28
Speaker 3: Are you ready? I'm so ready.
27:30
Speaker 4: I think you are ready. I mean there's I'm excited,
27:35
Speaker 4: and yet I'm very calm about it too, like there's anxious,
27:39
Speaker 4: and I don't feel anxious. I don't feel like anxiety
27:43
Speaker 4: about it. I feel like it's not to say that
27:46
Speaker 4: I'm overly confident that I will guarantee we win this. Right,
27:49
Speaker 4: I would never go there. It's just too much weird
27:51
Speaker 4: stuff that happens in baseball. But I truly believe that
27:54
Speaker 4: this team is set up for success. I believe the
27:57
Speaker 4: pitching staff is rounded into shape. Even with Brian Wuby
28:01
Speaker 4: and possibly on the shelf for this first series, I
28:03
Speaker 4: think you still have enough firepower in your starters.
28:06
Speaker 3: I think you have enough firepower.
28:07
Speaker 4: You talked about the Caleb Ferguson difference and how he
28:11
Speaker 4: could be an intricate part of how this whole thing
28:13
Speaker 4: works out of now. They have two lefties against a
28:16
Speaker 4: team that has a couple dangerous lefties that have heard
28:18
Speaker 4: us in the past. I just think it comes down
28:21
Speaker 4: to you've had this time off, and it can be
28:23
Speaker 4: good or bad. I think it's good if you go,
28:26
Speaker 4: we need a time off from all the travel and
28:29
Speaker 4: just the one hundred and sixty two games, and yet
28:32
Speaker 4: we're not taking a break. These guys after every single
28:35
Speaker 4: celebration they had, which was bang, bang, bang three in
28:37
Speaker 4: a row, every time they said we ain't done. They
28:40
Speaker 4: have more work to do. Now, That's what everybody would say,
28:43
Speaker 4: but I truly believe this team that's what they're feeling.
28:45
Speaker 4: I don't think that they are content with just making
28:47
Speaker 4: the playoffs and getting the number two seed and getting well,
28:49
Speaker 4: we've automatically.
28:50
Speaker 3: Advanced to the second round. We're good.
28:52
Speaker 4: No, they have plans of doing big things and the
28:54
Speaker 4: first step starts tomorrow.
28:56
Speaker 3: Well it starts.
28:56
Speaker 1: They're definitely not going to be content with waiting that
29:00
Speaker 1: all that time and then coming out and playing like garbage.
29:02
Speaker 4: So I think they're ready, and I'm ready.
29:04
Speaker 1: I'm ready as well. I think the Tigers will be
29:06
Speaker 1: ready to I mean this as we provide our Tigers preview.
29:10
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a service we provided all during
29:12
Speaker 1: the regular season, so we're certainly going to provide it
29:14
Speaker 1: now that we know our postseason opponent. Detroit is a
29:17
Speaker 1: team that was flirting with best record in the American
29:21
Speaker 1: League for most of the season. They really carried that
29:24
Speaker 1: momentum where they were the Cinderella Darling and ended up
29:28
Speaker 1: making it into the playoffs themselves last year and nobody
29:31
Speaker 1: saw that coming. They carried that momentum into the twenty
29:34
Speaker 1: twenty five season and at one point, I mean for
29:37
Speaker 1: a lot of the season, they had the best record
29:39
Speaker 1: in the entire sport. So there's some talent here. There's
29:41
Speaker 1: absolutely some talent for whatever reason. And at the end
29:46
Speaker 1: of August, the Tigers just hit the skids and they
29:49
Speaker 1: went nine and twenty two over a stretch of time,
29:53
Speaker 1: and they blew a fifteen and a half game lead
29:56
Speaker 1: against the Cleveland Guardians and didn't even win their own division.
30:01
Speaker 1: But they did get into the playoffs with a couple
30:04
Speaker 1: of clutch wins in their last four games during the
30:07
Speaker 1: regular season, and they just won a playoff series. And
30:10
Speaker 1: so from that standpoint, that sort of renews you. I mean,
30:14
Speaker 1: At that point, who cares if we blew the division.
30:18
Speaker 1: We just got past the team that took it from us,
30:22
Speaker 1: and so that wipes away anything that we had before.
30:26
Speaker 1: So it's probably we're not going to be facing a
30:28
Speaker 1: team that's playing the kind of baseball that nearly cost
30:32
Speaker 1: them a playoff spot. I think their confidence is renewed,
30:35
Speaker 1: and make no mistake, there's a lot of talent on
30:37
Speaker 1: this roster.
30:38
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
30:38
Speaker 4: I think it kind of renews it. I don't think
30:41
Speaker 4: it completely wipes away how they've been playing. I think
30:44
Speaker 4: that they because it's just how you've been playing, is
30:46
Speaker 4: how you feel as an individual. Now, you go out
30:49
Speaker 4: every day and you've got to kind of forget the past.
30:52
Speaker 4: If it's been bad, forget the last game, forget the
30:54
Speaker 4: last week, forget the last month, forget all of that
30:57
Speaker 4: and go out and play. And yes, they did win
30:59
Speaker 4: a series, and so they're feeling good. They got to
31:01
Speaker 4: shoot champagne yesterday and and basically know that they get
31:05
Speaker 4: to move on. Even after they got bumped out of
31:07
Speaker 4: the division against these guys, they got to rebound and
31:11
Speaker 4: reconcile things a little bit. But they they squeaked by
31:15
Speaker 4: with their ace They squeaked by with a two to
31:17
Speaker 4: one win in game one. Then they only score one
31:20
Speaker 4: run in game two, and they had to be thinking, oh,
31:24
Speaker 4: here we go again, really down to game three against
31:26
Speaker 4: these guys who are playing better than us, and then
31:28
Speaker 4: they get six runs yesterday and end up winning it
31:31
Speaker 4: fairly handedly and move on. It's somewhat wiped away, but
31:36
Speaker 4: it's not completely wiped away. That's where the start of
31:39
Speaker 4: this bad Boy. That's where you get off to a
31:41
Speaker 4: good start. You win that game one against these guys,
31:44
Speaker 4: and you will plant that seed or you will be
31:46
Speaker 4: feeding that that monster that's in the back of their
31:48
Speaker 4: head of man weirdess. Not playing as good as we
31:51
Speaker 4: used to. We started out so good, we're not playing
31:53
Speaker 4: that well. And I think that our our pitching staff
31:56
Speaker 4: is still lined up regardless of who they go one, two, three,
31:59
Speaker 4: I think we're lined up to make it real difficult
32:01
Speaker 4: on this offense for them, and we just got to
32:02
Speaker 4: go out there. Hitters, got to go out and show
32:04
Speaker 4: what they're capable of.
32:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:05
Speaker 1: Interesting storyline. I mean, we've been fascinated interested in finding
32:09
Speaker 1: out who's going to be the game one starter, Game
32:10
Speaker 1: two starter for the Mariners, for the Tigers. There's a
32:13
Speaker 1: lot more going into this decision because they just had
32:15
Speaker 1: to play a series, so they have a legit as like,
32:17
Speaker 1: there's no getting around it. I mean, there are one
32:20
Speaker 1: number one starters and then there are aces. This is
32:23
Speaker 1: a legitimate, a syenteric schooble. He's probably going to win
32:26
Speaker 1: his second Cy Young Award back to back seasons for
32:29
Speaker 1: the Tigers. He went to Seattle, you for goodness sake,
32:33
Speaker 1: and so this, But he also pitched three days ago.
32:37
Speaker 1: He pitched on a Tuesday, So that's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
32:40
Speaker 1: That's three days rest. I mean you always hear this.
32:42
Speaker 1: Come playoff time, will they start him on three games rest?
32:46
Speaker 1: Will they start their best, not at his best, potentially
32:51
Speaker 1: just to try to get off to that good start
32:53
Speaker 1: that Bucky's talking about. If not, you're probably you're looking
32:56
Speaker 1: at a bullpen game. I would think your number four
32:59
Speaker 1: starter than a bullpen game. No fear, because that's really
33:02
Speaker 1: where the Tigers have been struggling most is with their
33:05
Speaker 1: bullpen here down the stretch. So we shouldn't fear a
33:09
Speaker 1: bullpen game if that presents itself at any time during
33:13
Speaker 1: the course of this series. There are a couple of
33:16
Speaker 1: offensive players that you do fear Kerry Carpenter's wore us out.
33:20
Speaker 1: Riley Green is a legit all star, maybe on the
33:23
Speaker 1: verge of becoming a superstar in this sport. But they've
33:26
Speaker 1: both been struggling down the stretch and they both really
33:30
Speaker 1: struggle against left handed pitching, and that's where the Ferguson
33:33
Speaker 1: Spire thing could be a big factor. So, yes, this
33:36
Speaker 1: is a legit playoff team that has probably renewed its
33:40
Speaker 1: hopes by getting into the playoffs, surviving that scare winning
33:46
Speaker 1: a close series against the team that edged them for
33:49
Speaker 1: their division. But they don't stack up with us a
33:52
Speaker 1: player for player on the roster, and yet everybody's dangerous
33:57
Speaker 1: this time of the year.
33:58
Speaker 3: So there you go.
33:58
Speaker 1: Those are your Detroit TI. That's what we're going to face.
34:01
Speaker 1: Starting tomorrow, we'll talk more about the series coming up
34:04
Speaker 1: and our oho. That's right, Eight top stories of the
34:06
