  Speaker 1: So the Hawks start the season at 2-0. Greg Bell

  Speaker 1: cold as the Rockies and we'll start with a little
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball the Mariners did win over the Colorado
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Rockies two to one but unfortunately they finished a nine
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: game road trip against the three worst teams record wise
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball with just a four and five
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: record which means they didn't gain enough ground against the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Houston Astros and Texas Rangers and the Astros, who went
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: 2-7 in their last nine games. But even though they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: opened the door for the Mariners, the Mariners could not
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: take advantage against lesser-than competition. Kate Anderson was brilliant yesterday
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: with seven shutout innings, and the Mariners did win 2-1,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: but they still trail five games with only six games
• 1:41

• 2:05
  Speaker 1: didn't drop far. They do drop to No. 10, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: just wonderful.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: There is a God. UW ranked No.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: 23 in the coaches' poll after their 48-16 win over

  Speaker 1: Donald expected to play. Puka Nakua not expected to play.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: The NFL week number two, low-lighted by some major quarterback injuries.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels dislocated his elbow. He's going to be out
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: for some time. Caleb Williams injured his hamstring. Looked like
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: his knee, but it's his hamstring, so he's going to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: miss time, but not as much as he would have
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: missed had he missed Blown out his knee on a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: rain-soaked field in Chicago yesterday. The Bears ended up losing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: 9-3 to the Minnesota Vikings after scoring 59 points a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: week ago. But we highlight, of course, the Seahawks' 31-7
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: win over the Arizona Cardinals. And joining us to talk
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: about it, Greg Bell.
• 3:37

• 3:40

• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Where do we find you this morning? In an airport,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: in an Arizona hotel, or are you back home?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Tempe, Arizona.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: It would have been tight.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I could have rushed back last night.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: It would have been tight. I'll do my show from Phoenix.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Safety first, Greg. Safety first.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean, I think if you're going to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: get the Seahawks this year, you better get them in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the first quarter because once Mike McDonald makes his adjustments, Greg,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much Katie bar the door. The Cardinals had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: 12 minutes and 39 seconds time of possession in the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: first quarter. And for the next three quarters, they had
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: under 11. I mean, speak to what this defense does
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: once they figure out what the offense is going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: try to do to them that given day.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Well, it is Mike McDonald's strength, and he calls himself
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: a nerd and loves to change on the fly, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: he's got the defense now so understanding of everything that
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: he wants to do that he can almost flip his
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: switch with, he can almost snap his fingers and say,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: now we're going to do this. Yesterday, it was running
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: into the boundary. The Cardinals are running more short side
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: runs in the short sideline than they had seen on
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: film and different kind of runs, and they were getting
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: in a pretty good third downs, third and short situations
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: for Jacoby Brissett, and that's how they were moving down
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: the field. And they scored a touchdown on the first
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: play of the fourth quarter, on the second quarter, excuse me,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: on the fourth down, the Josh Joe one-on-one with Trent McBride,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: and I thought that was a really well-designed play to
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: get a stud-tight end out one-on-one with a small corner,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: easy pitch and catch tie game.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And after that, McDonald changed.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: He adjusted to the plays into the boundary and the
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: short runs into the boundary.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: He wasn't prepared for after that touchdown.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: They had four first downs the rest of the game.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: They had 44 yards on just 12 plays in the
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: second half, 14 plays, 44 yards in the second half.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: You saw that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: So then when the offense does what it did with
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: a backup quarterback and a third string running back, Emmanuel
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Wilson gaining 90 yards, but that's 16 play.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: 10-plus-minute drive to a touchdown. I mean, that was, as
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: McDonald said, Seahawk football. That's how McDonald wants to dictate
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: both defenses to another offense and their offense to another defense.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: It worked perfectly yesterday to an overmatched opponent.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: The other thing is now, Chuck, it's 12 wins in
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: a row. It's the franchise record. I've seen him do
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: 10 in a row against division foe, the St. Louis
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Rams that Mike Holmgren's teams did in 2005 and 2006.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Now they've got 10 in a row over Arizona. They
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: expect to do this. There's no panic. They're a sloggy
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: first half. It's 7-7 to a team that's less than them.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: So what?
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: We'll do this. We'll change this. We'll make a few
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: adjustments here. And then they all score Arizona 24-0. After
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: winning 12 in a row, including a Super Bowl, you
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: don't get phased by much. Home, road, opponent, quarterbacks, backup quarterback,
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. They've got a defense, like we've talked about,
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: that will keep them in most games that they can
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: figure out to win. And after 12 wins in a row,
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: there's a confidence that, oh, we've seen this before.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: And we're going to be fine.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: And it goes a long way, because that takes a
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: while to build, and they've got it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I've covered this team for.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Now 20-whatever-it-is years, 22 years. 2005 was the first season
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: I covered them. And I don't remember, way back then,
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: the first Super Bowl season, 2005, they started to get it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: But year over year, in consecutive seasons, I'm not sure
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: that I've covered a Seahawks team that is this sure
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: of what they're doing and unfazed by everything.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: They're just really sure of themselves.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, certainly, we've got to get into Locke and JSN
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: here in a moment. But one more question on the defense.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And it's a great team effort. And obviously, we have
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a great defensive-minded head coach with a great plan and
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: great abilities to adjust on the fly. But if there's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: one individual I'd like to highlight, it's Julian Love. What
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: are coaches and players in the locker room saying about
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the way he's played his first two games?
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Well, they said they're not surprised.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: This is who he is. And he really benefits the
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: fact that he's played every position in the secondary. With
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: the Giants, he was an outside corner. He was a nickelback.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: He's played down on the box as a safety. He's
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: been back in the back as a safety. He's playing
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: with guys up off the practice squad, Rodney Thomas, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: he's the same.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: He's really good.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: He didn't do it as much yesterday on the interception,
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: but he definitely did against Drake May the week before
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: of baiting quarterbacks to thinking their guys are open over
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: the middle and then just jumping them across. As soon
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: as the ball is thrown, he knows where it's going
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: and he steps in front for interceptions. Yesterday's interception at
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the sideline was an overthrown ball that Love didn't give
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: up on. Came in from the middle of the field
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: and ran to the sideline and intercepted it. And that
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: sent them on their way to really that, that created
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: the two score game.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: And the blowout was on after that. He's, he's the
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: rock back there, but Kobe Bryant go to Chicago.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: Julian loves there. Nikki Maury's hurt. Ty Okada's hurt. Julian
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: loves there. And so they can count on him in
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: the center.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: That's the big piece that you can count on in
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: the center of the field.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: It was what Earl Thomas was a different type of
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: player for sure. But it's what Earl Thomas was for
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: the Legion of Belm.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: All right, Seahawks, that's that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us here. You can follow his
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: coverage at thenewstribune.com. You can follow him on X there
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: at G. Bell Seattle. And he's with us most every
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: day at 7.05 here on the radio program. And let's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: get into the offensive side of things. because we're playing
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback but he has learned the most
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: valuable lesson as a seahawk quarterback throw it to jsn
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: whenever in.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Doubt i play right below me in the press box
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the second play of the game.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: I couldn't believe how easily he got up then Yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: he's got a great head fake.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: And I asked him where he got that from after
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: He said, oh, that's my basketball skills way back in
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: the day when I was JIT. And I had to
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: ask my son what JIT was. And that means when
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: he was a young kid. But an NFL quarterback with
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: a C, there's no way in hell you should be
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: juked five yards out of the way on a head fake.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Will Johnson is one of the better Cardinals defenders ever.
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: jumped five yards outside as if he was good jumping
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: out route and trying to understand but all he did
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: was a head fake he didn't take a step really
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: there he's what johnson so overreacted that drew lock said
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: it wasn't supposed to be a good route but that
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: the head fake was so good that smith and jigma
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: just took off straight down the field and he was
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: running so fast that buda baker the safety was up
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: couldn't get back and then touchdown so he makes up
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: his own plays he's so good that he turned what
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: was supposed to be a hitch route into a go
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: route for an 82-yard touchdown on the second play. That
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: wasn't supposed to be an 82-yard touchdown on the second play.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: And Drew Locke recognized it. Locke said he was surprised
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: to see Will Johnson that badly fooled on a head
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: fake right off the line. And then as soon as
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: he did, he was like, well, this is going to
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: be a go route instead of touchdown. It was the
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: second longest throw of Locke's career. He had a 90-yarder, 92-yarder,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: 90-yarder against the Ravers in 2021 when he was with
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the Broncos the.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Second year at He's learned. You're right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: The ponderance of targets. Once again, in the first half,
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: all the targets and all the yards are going to
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: Smith and Jigba. But if nobody in the league can
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: cover him. Yesterday, the Cardinals had cloud coverage with a
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: safety over the top when he was lining up with
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: the X receiver on the line.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: So what did the Seahawks and Brian Fleury do? He
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: moved him around. He put him in the slot. He
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: put him in motion. He put him over at the
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Z receiver. He put him in the F.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: He moved him all over the formation. And the Cardinals
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: didn't react to it. They didn't keep the safety over
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: the top when he was in different spots. They had
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: a very static double coverage game plan for Smith and Jigler.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: So then he started getting one-on-one coverage or zone coverage,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: and he no longer had the cloud. So credit to
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: Mike McDonald credited Jake Peets and Brian Fleury. Jackson Smith
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: and Jigler credited Brian Fleury with moving him around and
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: getting him out of the double coverage cloud stuff yesterday.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Well, as for Drew Locke, I mean, yes, I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: most DeOck fans can't wait to get Sam Darnold back
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and believe that we're going to be a better football
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: team with Sam Darnold. But man, this is two really
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: good performances from Drew Locke in back-to-back games. And I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: would think he's getting the attention of other teams that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: might need quarterbacks in the future after these last two performances.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: Exactly. His contract ends after this year. He's 29 years old.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: He's told me he wants to play. He loves it
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: here in Seattle. But, yeah, of course he wants to play.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: He made millions of dollars yesterday. And the NFL knows.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: They know he's a free agent. It's going to get
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: a lot harder for the Seahawks to re-sign him. And,
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: of course, Sam Donald's the undisputed leader.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: It's really career-validating for him. Think about it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: He was a guy who got thrust in as a
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: second-round pick in Denver to be a starter as a rookie,
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: led the NFL in interceptions. ended up losing his job
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: in the middle of the season after starting 0-3, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: he's been a backup ever since. And John Schneider insisted
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: that he was a part of the Russell Wilson. He
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: wanted to make sure that the Hawks had a veteran
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: who'd done it before as a backup quarterback. Then he
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: leaves after a series of one-year deals. He leaves and says, oh,
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: I might have a chance in New York. Well, then
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Daniel Jones emerges for the Giants, and he's back on
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: the bench again in New York.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Then Daniel Jones gets hurt.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: And he comes on and he loses three of four games,
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: as Glock does as a starter, because the Giants stink.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: But the one game he won in New York cost
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: the Giants the number one overall pick. The Giants let
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: him go and he comes back to Seattle. And here
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: he is, making millions of dollars per week for an
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: extra next year because of how he's playing. I think, Chuck,
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: you mentioned that Jaden Daniels in the headlines.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I think that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: they might just sit out Sam Donald another week, even
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: if they don't have to.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say that. I certainly don't
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: feel in a rush to bring him back. Let's make
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: sure he's a hundred percent.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah. McDonald yesterday after the game was starting to talk about, man,
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: it's drastically different than we thought it was. And I'm getting,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I've been told that Donald may practice Wednesday. And if
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: he practices Wednesday, he's probably going to play. But I
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: was thinking, I'm not sure they need to do that
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: at this point.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They need Donald.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: They want him, but they need Donald in January, February.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: They don't need them in September in Washington. Locke's playing
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: just fine. This team is always hyper-cautious. I think I'd
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: be hyper-hyper-cautious this week with Darnold.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: What did we learn about carry-sharing?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Because Emmanuel Wilson looked awfully effective in doing the old
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: move the chains. I think that was a tired Arizona defense, certainly.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But Jadarian Price... kind of kept around the same number
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of carries, had a fumble in the contest. So did
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: we learn anything about Emmanuel Wilson and what he might
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: be able to contribute going forward?
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, welcome to the team, Emmanuel Wilson. He's now front
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: and center in their game plans. They worked him so
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: much that he got so tired that McDonald called a
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: timeout just so Wilson would catch his breath near the
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: goal line right before Barner pushed it in.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: If Jeremiah Love had not.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: It looked like bruised because the x-rays were negative on
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: his chest injury. chest up near the shoulder, but it's negative.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: He hadn't gone off at the start of the fourth quarter,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: walked into the x-ray room. I think he would have
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: had nearly 20 carries. He would have gotten most of
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: those carries in the fourth quarter when they were salting
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: the game away on the run. It ends up being
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: Wilson instead. But even before Price got hurt, Wilson was
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: looking good and running for first downs and short yardage
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: runs that turns into eight, 10-yard gains. He helped himself
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: yesterday for sure. Remember, he missed most of August. He
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: had a hamstring issue and didn't practice. They knew they
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: wanted him to have a short yardage role, but they
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: didn't know he had what he had yesterday, 90-plus yards.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: What was it? It ended up being 16, 18 carries. Price,
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: it doesn't sound so bad because of the chest x-ray
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: and saying it's negative, but they don't have to rush
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: him back either if he is limited at all the
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: way that Wilson played. And on Friday, since I last
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: talked to you, McDonald said that Zach Charbonnet might practice
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: this week wow the pup with the pup list rules
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: have changed and this year a guy on a pup
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: list can start practicing after a team's second game you
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: got to still miss the four games but you can
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: start ramping up and practicing after two weeks and mcdonald's
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: said there's a chance that charming might practice this week
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: yeah that's still in september not even eight months since
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: the surgery Well, a.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Lot of other ground to cover.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: It's a good thing you've got your own radio show
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: today at 10 o'clock so you can cover even more
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: than what we did. But in our last couple of minutes,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to throw out three names, and I'm
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: going to ask a question, but just let you fill
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in the blanks here. Nick Emanuori, Anthony Bradford, Christian Haynes.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: What did we learn about them Sunday?
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Well, after the game, Nick Emanuori told me that he
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: thinks he's now full go. He said, yeah, yesterday was
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: a snap count, pitch count limitation. They got about 10,
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: 9 or 10 snaps, six of them in the first half.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: They lined him up as a defensive end on the
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: line yesterday. And that was what they did in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Vikings game last year. Just to give, I know McDonald's
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: screwing with offensive coordinators, just to give them film to
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: have to chew on of Eamon Warrior down in the box.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: But I think some of it was so Eamon Warrior
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: didn't have to run a lot in space and test
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: that ankle so much. But he thinks he's going to
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: play full go in Washington. He's like, oh man, I'm cool.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: I'm playing every snap the rest of the season. He said,
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Eamon Warrior said the reason he had surgery was He
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: thought the ankle was fine, but by July, some days
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: it would be feeling perfect, but then another couple of
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: days it wouldn't feel good at all.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: He was like, why is it going from 100% to 10%
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: day to day?
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: And he went to the Seahawks and said, this isn't right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: And they said, well, let's get it fixed now and
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: you can come back. He said the doctors told him
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: that he would be back week two, and voila, here
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: he is. Anthony Bradford had a hip injury on top
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: of those sore knees he had for a couple of weeks,
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: and that's why he didn't play yesterday. They started Christian Haynes,
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: his first career start. And then the plan, they didn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: bench Haynes yesterday. The plan going in was to alternate
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: rookie Bo Stevens at right guard. And they went about
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: two drives each, alternating back and forth the rest of
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: the game. McDonald said they really wanted to give Bo
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Stevens an opportunity. Implicit in that was when, he didn't
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: quite say it, but he inferred it, that when Bradford
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: comes back, they're not going to be playing Stevens much,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: so they better get Stevens' chances while they can. And,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, who was the third one? Haynes.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just Haynes.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Christian Haynes.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: He gave up a pass rush pressure in the first quarter,
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: and maybe it looked like he got benched for that
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: because then the next series Stevens came in and it
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: was a touchdown drive. But it wasn't a benching. It
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: was a planned alternating. Suffice to say, Bradford's the clear starter,
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: and when he's healthy, if it's this week, he'll play.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: 10 o'clock today. No big surprises, right?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: We're just going to break down a 31-7 victory for
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks, right?
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, another one, 12 in a row. I'm going to
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: talk about Sam Darnold really helped Drew Locke last week.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: He helped him with pressure.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Locke was overwhelmed with Mike McDonald throwing pressures at him
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: at practice Thursday morning. And he said, man, I need
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: some help. So Darnold took him upstairs and went through
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: every single pressure package, pressure call at the line of scrimmage.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: And it's Locke said, I've been a few quarterback rooms
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: and not many people do what Donald did to the
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: each as he did. So we'll talk about that relationship
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: and how they, Sam Donald helped out through Locke and yeah,
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: a bunch of stuff from Arizona, some audios and interviews. Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Well have a great show, safe travels and we'll bug
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: you again tomorrow.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Thanks.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Happy Monday.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell, joining us right here on
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the radio program. Coming up next, it's time to play
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: some fact or fiction. This show's got to get its
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: groove on. That's for sure. Only one game back.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Of the lead. We are off to a rough start,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and when I say we, I mean me.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Also, college football, yeah, we'll have about four minutes to
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: kind of talk about a really interesting college football weekend
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: that was filled with joy.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Chuck
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: in the Morning. Brought to you by Frost Brewed Coors Light.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Cold as the Rockies. On Sports Radio 93.3, AJR FM.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up in four minutes, it's our latest
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Factor Fiction pick.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, and look, sounds like not a lot.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Of people are doing real well as hosts here in
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Factor Fiction so far this season.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: We're off to a bit of a rough start.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: 37% as a station.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I can do without the smart-ass text. Read that text on.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: The air for people.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, I will.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Go ahead and read that text. From the 206.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Fiction. Oh, wait. Sorry, Chuck.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Make your pick first.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Burn.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I am really bad at predicting football right now.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: My fantasy football team's 0-2, and I'm 1-4 in factor
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: fiction right now.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I feel this way. Sounds like Ian and Dick Fane
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: feel this way, too. Mm-hmm.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: They're off to even worse starts than I am.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: They are indeed.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: And they're usually pretty good at this, or at least
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Dick is.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Damn Canadians.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: But it takes me a little while. I've got to
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: get to know the teams a little bit. So, you know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: we're just kind of spitballing here.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, we are.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: But I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. I'm
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: not worried about it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: We'll get rolling.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Travis is going to make today's pick coming up
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: at 735, and he will pick the Monday Night Football.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Game for you. So that's coming your way in two
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and a half minutes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: But let's talk a little bit of college football. Washington
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: scores some points over the weekend. I don't know how
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: much that proves today. I feel a lot better had
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they not scored points. I'll say that. If we were
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: talking about them winning again 24-16, I'd be really, really worried.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: It's at least a step in the right direction.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: At least they felt themselves get into the end zone,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: move the chains, and have many successful scoring drives.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I don't care who the opponent is.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And you do get one game against a not-such-a-powerhouse kind
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of Minnesota team. before really the competition gears up. But
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this will be the best team you've faced this year.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: No question about it. And I don't think anybody can
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: feel great about where Washington football is three games into
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you're 3-0.
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: You'd rather be 3-0 and still feel like you can
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: get a lot better than be 2-1 or 1-2 even,
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: like talking about disaster right now. So I think of
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: all the places to be, this is still an okay spot.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: But they definitely need to improve a couple of things.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: I'm still worried about the discipline. Tons of penalties. And
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: it's not like procedural penalties or anything. It's like stupid
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: after the whistle stuff and then targeting and just like
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: kind of guys like figure it out sort of thing.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: And that's what's keeping the defense from being probably in
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: the upper echelon in college football. They still look pretty good.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I think I feel better about the offense.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: DeMond Williams had his best game of the year. Again,
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: it's Eastern. You can't really take too much from that.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: But the way they were performing against other non-powerhouse teams,
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: it's a step up from where they were before. So
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: I'll take the win.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And then, thank goodness, Ole Miss won. I mean, in
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: terms of not having any connection to a team, that
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: was one of the most satisfying wins because they just
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: started dominating. And I would have loved for them to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: continue to dominate. But then Lane Kiffin and LSU gets
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: back into the game, and then all of a sudden
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I was sure they had all the momentum and they
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: were going to win the football game. And then Trinidad Chambliss,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: who's going to win the Heisman.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: You think so? I do. Over Darian Mensah, huh?
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: He just sort of took over on a drive and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: basically said, we're not going to lose to this football team.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: And Ole Miss gets the win, and it was.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: Lovely. Thank you.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you. Thank you, football gods, for having a soul.
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: I was going to say that I don't know if
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: Trinidad Chambers will win the Heisman because Mensah's getting all
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: the hype right now, but in my opinion, he's the
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: best pro prospect out of all the college football players
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: right now, or at least the quarterbacks.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: He looks like the guy that can do it at
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: the next level.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Well, Mensah hasn't done it against any competition.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: That's what I mean.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Chambers has beaten Louisville and LSU so far. All right,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: let's play some Fact or Fiction.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: We're set to go. Glad you're with us.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: grand prize.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: It's Fact or Fiction.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: day feels lucky.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Fact or Fiction is on.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I think everybody's going to turn it around here in
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the coming weeks. I think all shows are going to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: start hitting, firing here soon. So if the smartasses of
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the world want to go ahead and text fiction, you
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: can do so.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: 49451.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: There's some more smartass texts after that.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the text line is open. Go ahead.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Fire away.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Fiction, fiction. Fiction your ass off. But we're at least
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: going to participate. We're going to be your foil. It
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: can't start without us. Even though your answers are the
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: only thing that matter.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: All right, Travis Moger is going to make today's selection
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: in our Factor Fiction contest, and he's going to go
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: with the Monday Night Football Game Giants Rams.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: What say you? I think we got to do it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: We're the first show on Monday.
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: We can take that game.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: I'm going to take the Rams minus six and a
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: half over the Giants at home in L.A., not coming
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: off a 15 and a half hour flight. No jet lag.
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: Sean McVay, I imagine, is fired up to get a win.
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: I don't believe in the Giants.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: As much as Anders does. Nobody believes him as much
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: as Anders does. Not even Mrs. Harbaugh.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: And I think the Rams are just going to– all
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: they've got to do is win by a touchdown.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: And I believe it. I would stay away from this one.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: But I love that you picked it. Don't get me wrong.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: But, like, if I was a gambling person, I would
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: stay away from this one because the Giants did look
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for real and the Rams looked terrible. But I'm kind
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: of with Travis. If there's any belief in the Rams,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: they are going to come out– not only do they
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: want to win this game– They've got.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: To make a statement. They've got to show it.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think they're going to. And so if
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I were to bet, I think I would go your direction.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: But that's no slide against the Giants because that was
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: eye-popping last week. They actually looked really good. I was
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: surprised with how good they looked. It's been a long
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: time since the Giants functioned like a professional football team.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: And John Harbaugh in his first game with them, got
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: them looking better than they've looked.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: In years yeah i i do think they are for
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: real but i don't hate the pick in this sense
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: because this screams in terms of the gambling world like
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: okay a team had a really good first week in
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: the giants better than everyone expects them to be there's
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: gonna be a come down in the opposite with the
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: rams where everyone thought they were gonna be a super
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: team they lost week one they're gonna recover they have
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: what 11 days to prep for this game Um, the,
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: the travel, the Australia crap won't be an issue. Sean
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: McVay is just a master at getting his team ready
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: to play these types of games. Probably Aaron Donald's first
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: game too. So I don't hate the pick. I just,
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: I think it's going to be close. We'll see if
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: six and a half is enough. I do think the
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Rams win this one though.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: So Travis is going to go with the Rams. He's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: going to give six and a half points. That means
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the Rams have to win by seven points or more
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: in order for Travis to be correct. And now you
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: kick into gear. It's your time to play Fact or Fiction.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: If you agree with the pick, text FACT to 49451.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: If you disagree or just preemptively disagreed, text FICTION to 49451.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And if you're right, we're going to enter your name
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: into a drawing at the end of the week for
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: $ 1, 000 in cash. This is the first pick of the week.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: There will be 20 before the week comes to a close.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Every single show makes a pick every single day, which
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: means you can weigh that drawing into your favor. The
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: more often you play, the more wins you get. The
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: more wins you get, the more often you get thrown
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: into the hopper for the drawing for $ 1, 000 in cash.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: And there's a $ 20, 000 jackpot that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Can be— excuse.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Me, $ 10, 000.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Did I jump it up to $ 20, 000?
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Whoa, what are we doing there?
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Softie's going to match it! A $ 10, 000 jackpot.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: At the end of the season as well, um but
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: you got to get the most correct factor fiction picks
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: uh this year so there's some stiff competition out there
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and it's all brought to you by lucky eagle casino
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: uh and hotel so once again The pick is Rams
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: minus six and a half at home against the New
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: York Giants on Monday Night Football. Fact if you disagree,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: fiction if, or fact if you agree, fiction if you
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: disagree at 49451. All right, coming up next on our
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: radio show, it's Mike on the Mic, Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: That's Mike McDonald talking about the 31-7 win over the Cardinals.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: It seems crazy that that score was tied at seven
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: at halftime, but the Seahawks just sunk their teeth in.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: In the second half, really after the first quarter, Mike
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: McDonald and his defense just said, that's cute. That you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: think that you can keep doing this. That's exactly what
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: they said, actually. But it's over. You're not going to
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: score points.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: We're not going to give you first downs.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: We're not going to give you anything.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: And so the defense took over completely in the contest.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: And then that allowed Drew Locke and J.S. in to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: weave their magic. They connected three times for touchdowns. JSN,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: 155 receiving yards on nine catches in the contest.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: He is just unstoppable.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Here is Mike McDonald after the game talking about his
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: backup quarterback playing so well.
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, really proud of Drew, really happy for him. I mean,
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: we're on record how we feel about him, so he
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: just backed that up today, but the 12 was one thing,
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: everybody having each other's back, and I mean, he just
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: couldn't be happier for the guy. We just love him,
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: and all the things we said about throughout the week,
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, we weren't That was real. That was from
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: the heart. Really proud of the way he played today.
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: He did a tremendous job. Managed the clock. I think
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: we only had one operation penalty. Really, maybe one offensive
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: penalty total. I'm not sure, but just the operation improved drastically,
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: and Drew deserves a lot of credit for that. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: thought he was aggressive when he needed to be and
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: took care of the ball when he needed to be.
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: He just did a great job.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: 19 for 26, 235 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions for
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke. Didn't run the ball one single time. Didn't
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: really need it. And by the way, credit to the
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: offensive line, that first touchdown pass, the 82-yarder, he had
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the ability to just kind of like sit there in
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the pocket and wait for that play to open up.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And it did, like a beautiful flower, it just opened up.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: for an 82-yard touchdown. 139.1 quarterback rating. We thought the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: 113 was good against the Patriots the week before, and
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke said, hold my beer.
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, he made a couple huge throws, too.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: We talked about how good JSN is, and yes, it
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: makes it easier for quarterbacks to be able to throw
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: to that type of receiver, but there were some tight windows,
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: and there were some big-time throws that you don't see many,
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: if any, backup quarterbacks throwing in the NFL. So the
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: fact that You hate to say the Seahawks haven't missed
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: a beat without Sam Darnold, but it's kind of true
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: at this point. They've looked really, really good with him
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: at the helm.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this. Maybe they missed a little bit
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: of a beat. I don't know.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe Sam would have done even more. Maybe you're not
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: tied seven if Sam Darnold's in the game at halftime.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: But I'll say this, I'm in no rush with Sam
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to get him back, especially considering the schedule. The next
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you're facing two of the teams that
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: look worst in the National Football League, and one's going
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: to play without their starting quarterback this week. I don't
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: think the commander's going to put up a lot of
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: points this Sunday against the Seahawks defense, so I'm perfectly
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: okay with making sure Sam's as close to 100% as
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: he can get before we reactivate him. considering his unique
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: butt injury. And then finally, Mike McDonald on JSN, because
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: we have to hear greatness talk about greatness.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: The three touchdowns.
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I write them off like six sets before giving
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: a game ball. I'm not really sure what they are,
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: but it was all good. He's just a tremendous player.
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: And talking about high-leverage situations, four-point plays, really both of
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: those touchdown catches... Really helped put the game away. What
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: a tremendous plays by Drew as well. I think it
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: was hot on one of them. And then, you know,
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: getting to him in the back of the end zone
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: was awesome too. So that's what we expect from Jax.
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: You know, that's how good he is. That's the type
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: of player, you know, it's the kind of expectations you deserve.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Throw it to 11. You really don't need another game
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: playing offensively with this defense. Mike McDonald said it. He
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: overheard it on Hard Knocks. Certainly didn't say it to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: local media. that, my gosh, he looks even better this
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: year while he's out there practicing.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: And we're seeing it.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Two games in, even without a starting quarterback, and he's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: putting up numbers that are even better than what he
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: put up in his breakthrough season last year that won
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: him Offensive Player of the Year. Nine catches, 155 yards,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns for No.
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: 11.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: He is unstoppable. I'm not saying we have Jerry Rice,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: but I'm saying... We have a Jerry Rice. We have
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: one of those type guys.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: We have this generation's Jerry Rice.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: On this roster.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: The type of guy that no matter what you game
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: plan for, he can get open. And the opposing fans
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: are sitting there saying, why are we letting him open
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the whole time?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: It's because you can't stop him.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Hugh Millen. Monday Morning Quarterback
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: starts next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
