0:03
Speaker 1: j A r FM.
0:05
Speaker 2: It makes it sound so official.
0:07
Speaker 3: X is a those time here on a Friday. They
0:10
Speaker 3: are brought to you by Frost Brewed Corpse Line. Joining

0:16
Speaker 3: Good morning you.
0:16
Speaker 2: What's happening, gentlemen? How are you?
0:18
Speaker 1: We're great?
0:19
Speaker 3: What stands out to you about this Seahawks Cardinals matchup
0:23
Speaker 3: on Sunday?
0:24
Speaker 2: Most and first and foremost, well, I think just the
0:28
Speaker 2: uh what the the changes what we've seen in the
0:33
Speaker 2: Cardinals that that with Jacoby Brissett. You know, it's three
0:36
Speaker 2: big games, that the very very impressive win at Dallas.
0:43
Speaker 2: You know, what's their mindset coming in? Do they still
0:46
Speaker 2: think that they they have like you know, it's it's
0:49
Speaker 2: not whether or not they actually have a chance to
0:51
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, it's what's the state of mind of
0:54
Speaker 2: the Cardinals with respect to that they may have a boost.
0:59
Speaker 2: We've talked Aboutyler Murray. You you know my opinion, I
1:04
Speaker 2: think it's just uh humiliating that a team would be
1:09
Speaker 2: compelled to put an independent study clause in a player
1:13
Speaker 2: in a quarterbacks contract that he has to study four
1:16
Speaker 2: hours a week of tape. Otherwise wise he's he's in default.
1:23
Speaker 2: You know that Now they pulled that because they recognized
1:25
Speaker 2: how humiliating it was. But you can't undo that. You know,
1:29
Speaker 2: you see the the body language Kyler Murray has, you know,
1:33
Speaker 2: his response to adversity is uh, what Mike Comingan calls
1:37
Speaker 2: his affect. His body language, uh is as bad as
1:40
Speaker 2: I've seen. And then and then, you know, if you
1:42
Speaker 2: think I'm being harsh, go on YouTube and just type
1:47
Speaker 2: in Kyler Murray yells at coach. And it was a
1:51
Speaker 2: game on a Thursday night game National TV. They're playing
1:54
Speaker 2: the Saints, and you'll see the play come up. It
1:57
Speaker 2: only takes a minute to watch it. It's right there
1:59
Speaker 2: on YouTube. And you watch Kyler Murray on a timeout
2:02
Speaker 2: situation late in the second quarter. He comes off and
2:06
Speaker 2: he is screaming at his head coach Cliff Kingsbury, and
2:11
Speaker 2: I have never ever ever seen that in that fashion.
2:16
Speaker 2: And DeAndre Hopkins had to intercede, get in the middle,
2:20
Speaker 2: you know, put his arm around him, calm him down.
2:22
Speaker 2: And I've heard the term a lot. You know, the
2:27
Speaker 2: coach loses the locker room and a lot of times
2:29
Speaker 2: I'm going, all right, well, give me the evidence, you know,
2:32
Speaker 2: and we can make inferences. We don't always know. You know,
2:35
Speaker 2: you were not in everybody's head. So so I'm I
2:39
Speaker 2: often kind of push back on that statement. When I
2:42
Speaker 2: saw that, I just kind of said out loud, I said,
2:45
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury will never have the Cardinals again after that moment,
2:49
Speaker 2: And so at an event they they now turned to
2:52
Speaker 2: Jacoby Bussett, and uh, you know, they can be they
2:56
Speaker 2: can be a scrappy team, and they present a little
2:59
Speaker 2: bit of a challenge of Seattle is handling the success
3:03
Speaker 2: that they showed the country from Sunday night.
3:06
Speaker 3: You know something that has stuck out to me all
3:08
Speaker 3: week and long, week long, and I want to ask
3:11
Speaker 3: you this, but I have a feeling you could do
3:13
Speaker 3: like a six hour seminar at Princeton on this topic.
3:18
Speaker 3: So forgive me for bringing it up in a fifteen
3:21
Speaker 3: minute segment. But I know that you have sort of
3:26
Speaker 3: been a little suspicious about this league going to short quarterbacks.
3:31
Speaker 3: And we've had two under five foot eleven that have
3:35
Speaker 3: been drafted number one overall in the last decade, including
3:39
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray. It's been a really bad year for short
3:42
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the National Football League. We had a pretty
3:45
Speaker 3: good one on a college campus down the street. But
3:49
Speaker 3: in the National Football League, this has been a bad year.
3:52
Speaker 3: And I'm wondering if you think that it's going to
3:54
Speaker 3: mark a reversal in believing that quarterbacks should be drafted
3:59
Speaker 3: this high when they can't ride this ride.
4:03
Speaker 2: Well, I think that, Uh, it's been a bad year
4:07
Speaker 2: for short quarterbacks, as you mentioned. And you've got and
4:10
Speaker 2: skinny quarterbacks as well. I mean, you've got in right,
4:15
Speaker 2: because there was a lot of questions about Jaden Daniels
4:18
Speaker 2: and his his frame coming out and uh and and
4:22
Speaker 2: you've got uh Young down in in uh in Carolina,
4:28
Speaker 2: You've got uh. I think what you see on the
4:32
Speaker 2: tape is that you clearly these guys are not going
4:35
Speaker 2: to be able to see. After Russell Wilson was drafted,
4:38
Speaker 2: I asked every quarterback I ran into for a couple
4:43
Speaker 2: of months there. I asked Troy Aikman, Dan Marino, Warren Moon,
4:48
Speaker 2: Danny White if you remember him, the quarterback of of
4:51
Speaker 2: the the Cowboys, Rich gann and an m v P.
4:55
Speaker 2: You know, I asked everybody, what percent of the time
4:59
Speaker 2: when you were in an NFL pocket could you not see?
5:04
Speaker 2: And it was remarkable hot and everybody had an answer.
5:09
Speaker 2: There wasn't anybody goes I never thought about it. I
5:11
Speaker 2: don't know. Everybody seemed to say about thirty to forty
5:15
Speaker 2: percent of the time they couldn't see something that they
5:18
Speaker 2: wanted to see. Danny White actually had the most interesting coming.
5:22
Speaker 2: He says, well, when I got to Dallas, the offensive
5:27
Speaker 2: line was good, you know, maybe ten percent. He says,
5:30
Speaker 2: by the time I got done, there was ninety percent. Yeah,
5:32
Speaker 2: but anyway, I digressed. So not seeing is real. I'm
5:37
Speaker 2: six five and I don't know how many games I
5:43
Speaker 2: had played in, but but you know, it was mostly
5:45
Speaker 2: a backup. But the games I there's a lot of
5:48
Speaker 2: times you just don't see. That's why seven on seven
5:51
Speaker 2: teams you can throw it all over the art because
5:54
Speaker 2: no pass rush, and so you see it particularly over
5:59
Speaker 2: the middle of the yield. And and and what happens
6:03
Speaker 2: is is we get enamored with the the athletic quarterback's
6:07
Speaker 2: ability to to avoid sacks, and yet the numbers just
6:14
Speaker 2: to I've been asked to present for thirty thirteen by
6:17
Speaker 2: Mike Tannahan Timebaum. I've got the thirteen pages of PowerPoint
6:21
Speaker 2: that in any era, the quote unquote, and you and
6:25
Speaker 2: I made metrics to decide who's an athletic quarterback, who's
6:29
Speaker 2: who's more of a pocket passer In any era, the
6:31
Speaker 2: pocket passers always avoid more sacks because they they don't
6:38
Speaker 2: try and extend plays because they know they can't. And
6:42
Speaker 2: and you know, when you're they asked me, uh uh uh.
6:47
Speaker 2: Back to back, Tom Brady had the lowest sack rate
6:49
Speaker 2: in the NFL and Justin Fields had had the highest.
6:53
Speaker 2: And so I'm going through these plays and and I'm
6:55
Speaker 2: showing where where Tom Brady. He knows exactly actly where
7:01
Speaker 2: his his outlets are. And you know, and and given
7:06
Speaker 2: the same situation, the athletic quarterback when when when there's
7:09
Speaker 2: a guy in his face, instead of just saying let
7:12
Speaker 2: me dump into the outlet, he'll start running and trying
7:14
Speaker 2: and extend the play, and then you take sacks that way. Now,
7:17
Speaker 2: admittedly there are certainly free running situations where the athletic
7:22
Speaker 2: quarterback will will get out of a situation that the
7:27
Speaker 2: pocket passer will be dumped. But you know, the theater
7:31
Speaker 2: thre third team asked me to present for Daniel Jones,
7:35
Speaker 2: which I kind of smiled when I read the text
7:38
Speaker 2: and like Daniel Jones. Well, I've actually had an affinity
7:41
Speaker 2: to him for four or five years. So I in
7:43
Speaker 2: the last week, I've studied over three hundred and fifty
7:46
Speaker 2: plays of Daniel Jones, you know, with the culture number
7:49
Speaker 2: one in offense. And I see and I'm gonna get
7:51
Speaker 2: this to Sam Darnold because people, so let's get relevant.
7:54
Speaker 2: There are a lot and and uh, You've got in
7:58
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones eleven touchdowns no interceptions in the red zone.
8:02
Speaker 2: There's times where you see where he's looking to his
8:05
Speaker 2: left and then somebody comes off and and he will
8:08
Speaker 2: get to a checkdown his fifth guy in the progression
8:12
Speaker 2: and and I look and I go, wait a minute, right, then,
8:14
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones pretty athletic. He he could have he could
8:18
Speaker 2: have migrated to a spot to run the ball, but
8:22
Speaker 2: he's he's looking for the checkdown. So what happens is
8:25
Speaker 2: the you know, the shorter quarterback. When he doesn't see,
8:28
Speaker 2: he says, well, let me let me try and move around,
8:32
Speaker 2: distort the defense, distort the pass rush, get out of
8:36
Speaker 2: here so I can see. And you know, when guys
8:40
Speaker 2: are are able to make those plays. Heck, we said,
8:42
Speaker 2: I don't need to convince people Seahawks fans, and they
8:45
Speaker 2: saw it with Russell Wilson. But Sam Darnold is doing
8:49
Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff that even in my notes
8:51
Speaker 2: I put TV just you know, Tom Brady like number
8:55
Speaker 2: five he's got he just got to the number five
8:57
Speaker 2: guy in the progression and and and so I think
9:00
Speaker 2: there's just a different uh, there's a different mindset when
9:03
Speaker 2: you get you know, a bigger guy who can see
9:06
Speaker 2: and doesn't have great mobility. He has to find other
9:10
Speaker 2: ways to uh to to beat the blitz and avoid sacks.
9:15
Speaker 2: And you know, right right now, Donald, uh you know
9:18
Speaker 2: he's he's I think in his sack avoidance he's number
9:21
Speaker 2: one in the NFL. So so, uh yeah, no, it's
9:24
Speaker 2: it's it's an interesting topic. You're right. I could go
9:27
Speaker 2: a long time, and I already have had and I
9:29
Speaker 2: already have.
9:30
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna ask one more about Sam Donald just
9:33
Speaker 4: because I'm curious of your opinion. I mean, after that
9:35
Speaker 4: first half that he played last week and and the
9:38
Speaker 4: way he's played all season so far, I mean, do
9:40
Speaker 4: you put him up there with the top of the
9:43
Speaker 4: heap quarterbacks in the NFL?
9:44
Speaker 2: Right now? For this season. Absolutely, there's just so many.
9:49
Speaker 2: It's funny to look at the stat portal of the NFL.
9:52
Speaker 2: There are so many cool stats, and I'm go, oh
9:54
Speaker 2: my god, I'd love to say that on the radio.
9:55
Speaker 2: I'd love to say that on the radio, Like I
9:57
Speaker 2: could stuff a whole segment, two segments on on cool
10:00
Speaker 2: stats with Sam Donald. Let me one for the day. Okay,
10:04
Speaker 2: So we know that the Seahawks plays of twenty plus yards,
10:10
Speaker 2: the Seahawks are number one in the NFL. Plays of
10:12
Speaker 2: fifty plus, they're number one in the NFL air yards
10:17
Speaker 2: per attempt nine point one three, Sam Donald, number one
10:22
Speaker 2: in the NFL. He is pushing the ball down the
10:25
Speaker 2: field more than any quarterback in the NFL. But in
10:31
Speaker 2: addition to that, the NFL has off target percentage Sam
10:36
Speaker 2: Donald six point four percent. That's number two in the NFL.
10:41
Speaker 2: So and that's counting all passes. So the idea that
10:45
Speaker 2: you would be number one in all these statistics about
10:50
Speaker 2: pushing the ball down the field but have the second best,
10:56
Speaker 2: second lowest percentage of off target passes. But like, you know,
11:01
Speaker 2: I don't know that that that kind of dumbfounds me. Yeah,
11:05
Speaker 2: you know, And and so and there's many more. But yeah,
11:08
Speaker 2: I know, you know, just look at at the performance
11:12
Speaker 2: that he's given you and and at this juncture, I
11:17
Speaker 2: think it's interesting that if if you go by how
11:21
Speaker 2: many quarterbacks have won seventy five percent of their games?
11:25
Speaker 5: Uh?
11:26
Speaker 2: Now this is with sixty starts minimum. Okay, there's only
11:29
Speaker 2: three quarterbacks in history. Autogram in the fifty you know,
11:33
Speaker 2: he played in the fifties, dar Ala Monica he played
11:36
Speaker 2: in the sixties, and Pat Pat Mahomes. Tom Brady was
11:40
Speaker 2: seventy four point nine percent, So he misses it by
11:44
Speaker 2: point point one percent point is seventy five percent is
11:47
Speaker 2: a really lofty level. So Darnold came to Seattle twenty four,
11:54
Speaker 2: uh excuse me, eighteen and six in his last twenty
11:57
Speaker 2: four games. Now he's six and two. Obviously, that's seventy
12:01
Speaker 2: five percent. So he's twenty four and eight in his
12:04
Speaker 2: last thirty two games. So he's more than halfway to sixty.
12:07
Speaker 2: Do I think that he's going to be over the
12:09
Speaker 2: next twenty eight games seventy five percent? I bet against it.
12:13
Speaker 2: But the point is, at some point we're gonna say, say,
12:17
Speaker 2: wait a minute. You know, this is like Signetti man
12:21
Speaker 2: you know, I win Google me, you know, like Donald.
12:23
Speaker 2: Now he's that's not his personality. He's never gonna say that.
12:26
Speaker 2: But at some point Donald wins Google him.
12:30
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, and now he's added another weapon. So in
12:35
Speaker 3: our last couple of minutes, how do you think Sam
12:39
Speaker 3: Donald takes advantage of Rashid sha Heed's talents on Sunday?
12:43
Speaker 6: And first of.
12:44
Speaker 2: All, yeah, just real quickly, you know, I think that
12:46
Speaker 2: it bears mentioning. You know, I think that we had
12:49
Speaker 2: and I love Tory Horton, but you know, he's getting
12:52
Speaker 2: nicked up. He's he's growing his ankle this, you know,
12:55
Speaker 2: and he keeps showing up on the injury report. I
12:56
Speaker 2: think there was a concern there. Cooper Cup, there's a concern.
13:00
Speaker 2: Now that's only really a one year deal for Seattle.
13:03
Speaker 2: And and and the part about Cup is he is
13:06
Speaker 2: a remarkable He's like a coach in the building. In fact,
13:10
Speaker 2: don't be surprised if in a couple of years he's
13:13
Speaker 2: a coach on that he's local. His wife I think
13:16
Speaker 2: it's from Tacoma, check me on that. But in any event,
13:19
Speaker 2: he has been Cup has been a monumental force for
13:23
Speaker 2: you know, Jackson Smith and Jigma's development. You know, he
13:26
Speaker 2: took two years off his development. But Rashid Shaheed. Uh.
13:30
Speaker 2: So the point is is there's some concern about some
13:33
Speaker 2: of the other guys, but she she heat as I
13:34
Speaker 2: mentioned yesterday, uh, more outside receiver than than slot. And
13:39
Speaker 2: with with Kubiak with the Saints, he was only twenty
13:42
Speaker 2: five percent of slot. So he's an outside receiver. A
13:44
Speaker 2: lot of speed, relatively small. You know, at five po
13:49
Speaker 2: ten he measured one eighty five at the combine. I'm
13:52
Speaker 2: certain he's not that he's pushing two hundred just looking
13:54
Speaker 2: at his his body weight. I now, I think there's
13:58
Speaker 2: some some aspects of his route running that I think
14:02
Speaker 2: need refinement. When he does speed outs, he tends to
14:05
Speaker 2: slow down coming out of it. I think that that
14:08
Speaker 2: that could be something that he improves.
14:10
Speaker 7: Uh.
14:10
Speaker 2: You know, his height, he's if he doesn't win with
14:14
Speaker 2: speed and a good release off the top.
14:16
Speaker 7: Uh.
14:16
Speaker 2: You know, I've seen him lose some battles down the
14:18
Speaker 2: field on some deep ball route deep routes. But but
14:22
Speaker 2: I think you got a guy obviously knows the system
14:24
Speaker 2: in Clint Kubiak, having played with the Saints, a lot
14:28
Speaker 2: of speed. We're gonna see some bubble screens and and
14:30
Speaker 2: jet sweeps. I watched the entire reel of that. I
14:34
Speaker 2: thought it was good. I didn't think there was nothing
14:36
Speaker 2: that went. I go, oh wow, I can't wait for
14:39
Speaker 2: the Jet the Rockets sweep game to come alive for Seattle.
14:42
Speaker 2: With this guy, I think it's solid. Uh, you'd expect
14:45
Speaker 2: it to be pretty good for a guy his size.
14:47
Speaker 2: So so I think that he kind of checks a
14:49
Speaker 2: lot of boxes, and you know, you give him like
14:52
Speaker 2: a b. I mean, he's played forty he's had forty
14:55
Speaker 2: two games in his career, and he's got two games
14:58
Speaker 2: over one hundred yards. Now on the positive side of that,
15:01
Speaker 2: I filter all number two receivers. I just did this week.
15:05
Speaker 2: Here's my spreadsheet. You know when you asked me, well,
15:07
Speaker 2: think of a number two receiver who comes to mind, Well,
15:09
Speaker 2: how about T Higgins. Well, he's got fifty five catches.
15:13
Speaker 2: He's got more catches than T Higgins by two. The
15:17
Speaker 2: other one I'd say, well, how about AJ Brown and
15:20
Speaker 2: or DeVante Smith at Philadelphia that's a tandem.
15:22
Speaker 7: Well, A J.
15:23
Speaker 2: Brown's number two right now to Devonte Smith, he's got
15:26
Speaker 2: fifty six catches. Uh, she he does fifty five. So,
15:31
Speaker 2: so I think you know on Ceedee Lamb and oh god,
15:35
Speaker 2: who's the guy that acquired from Pickens, Yeah, Pickens. Ceedee
15:39
Speaker 2: Lamb is the that has the highest number of of
15:43
Speaker 2: catches or yards per game rather of any number two.
15:47
Speaker 2: And you don't think of Ceedee Lamb. He's up there
15:51
Speaker 2: at eighty two yards a game. And and so she
15:53
Speaker 2: heat at fifty five yards a game. As thought that
15:56
Speaker 2: was the stat I was referencing, if I didn't make
15:58
Speaker 2: that clear. So so even he's comparing this year with
16:02
Speaker 2: a very you know, suspect quarterback play. He's comparing in
16:07
Speaker 2: his numbers to some of the guys that we think
16:10
Speaker 2: of as okay, that's they got a great tandem of
16:13
Speaker 2: receivers that team. And he's comparing with the number two
16:18
Speaker 2: A Lobby obviously had been the is the number one
16:21
Speaker 2: receiver at New Orleans. So and an even, I think
16:23
Speaker 2: it's a solid, solid acquisition. Here's what I'm hoping as
16:27
Speaker 2: a fan, just well, he doesn't have to prove anything
16:29
Speaker 2: to me. But we do a lot of draft coverage,
16:31
Speaker 2: and I love that about you, Chuck. You love the draft.
16:34
Speaker 2: Let's make it a goal that you know in the
16:37
Speaker 2: weeks and the days and the hours leading up to
16:40
Speaker 2: the draft that we can sit there and go, yeah, damn,
16:43
Speaker 2: I wish we had that fourth and fifth draft pick,
16:46
Speaker 2: but man, did we get a lot out of received Shahed.
16:49
Speaker 2: I'm totally cool with the idea that we don't have
16:52
Speaker 2: a fourth and fifth because remember all those great things
16:55
Speaker 2: that Shaheed did for us last year and what we
16:57
Speaker 2: expect from him moving forward.
16:58
Speaker 3: Here's what I got out of that. Hugh wants us
17:00
Speaker 3: to do more draft coverage than what we do right now.
17:04
Speaker 3: That's what I got out of that bucket. So just
17:06
Speaker 3: get ready draft than normal. We yeah, started, Yeah, that's buckets.
17:14
Speaker 3: Text me, I have tech, I have the text. He's like,
17:18
Speaker 3: tell him every everything would be really good if we
17:20
Speaker 3: could just have more draft cover, more draft coverage. Good point, Hugh,
17:24
Speaker 3: We'll go ahead and satisfy Bucky this upcoming year.
17:27
Speaker 2: That sounds great to me.
17:28
Speaker 3: Enjoy Tall Quarterback Day on Sunday, indeed, and we'll talk
17:32

18:46
Speaker 3: you had. Did you have a ventriloquist impersonation act that
18:50
Speaker 3: you you could do?
18:53
Speaker 7: No? No, you know what. No, that's about the only
18:56
Speaker 7: thing we didn't do though. I mean, if you go,
18:59
Speaker 7: if you're going to dress up like a cheerleader in
19:02
Speaker 7: a wig, you're gonna do about just him, about anything.
19:05
Speaker 7: So we did that. Be true to your school, Yeah.
19:07
Speaker 2: Be true to your school.
19:08
Speaker 3: What was the name of the band again, Big Bop
19:11
Speaker 3: in the Choppers.
19:12
Speaker 2: Big Bop in the Choppers. That's right.
19:14
Speaker 9: Uh.
19:16
Speaker 7: Yeah.
19:16
Speaker 3: If you just thought coach Holmgren was just a football genius,
19:19
Speaker 3: you didn't know how many hidden talents did.
19:21
Speaker 2: He actually have?
19:22
Speaker 7: Oh no, I mean it was it was I tell
19:24
Speaker 7: you what. We raised a lot of money though for
19:26
Speaker 7: the school, so that was good.
19:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.
19:28
Speaker 3: All right, Well let's talk about Seahawks and Cardinals. Let's
19:32
Speaker 3: talk about their quarterback to get us started. How much
19:37
Speaker 3: do things get shaken up and Mike McDonald's defensive room
19:41
Speaker 3: when you go from a tiny, fast quarterback to a big,
19:45
Speaker 3: lumbering quarterback.
19:47
Speaker 7: I think it changes a lot the pass rush lanes,
19:50
Speaker 7: how you're going to approach that Murray was you know,
19:55
Speaker 7: he was so fast and that was a big threat
19:57
Speaker 7: when you played against them. This Brissette seems to me
20:02
Speaker 7: they're moving the ball. There's got a confidence now, they're
20:05
Speaker 7: moving the ball better and he's making good decisions. So
20:08
Speaker 7: he's a good quarterback, but quite a different type of
20:11
Speaker 7: quarterback than Murray.
20:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt.
20:14
Speaker 4: On the other side, I mean, Sam Darnold is playing
20:17
Speaker 4: better than either of the quarterbacks on the other side
20:19
Speaker 4: of the ball. I mean, at this point we've been
20:22
Speaker 4: talking about the run game doesn't really hasn't really got
20:24
Speaker 4: on track, and yet the offense has been rolling. Do
20:26
Speaker 4: you just lean into this thing and just keep throwing
20:29
Speaker 4: the ball to Jackson Smith and jigbur or do you
20:31
Speaker 4: think that they need to continue to try to pound it.
20:34
Speaker 7: No. I think it's clear to me that when they
20:39
Speaker 7: mix it up a little bit more and with play
20:42
Speaker 7: action and insert some more passing game into their offense,
20:46
Speaker 7: it works better. That's not to say they don't want
20:49
Speaker 7: to run the ball, and they're trying, and the way
20:53
Speaker 7: they're moving the backs, they're splitting time a little bit more.
20:56
Speaker 7: I thought Walker would play more, but they're doing doing that.
21:01
Speaker 7: But I think they still want to do this stick
21:03
Speaker 7: with their plan of the new style of running and
21:08
Speaker 7: handing the ball to the back. But clearly the play
21:12
Speaker 7: action pass off of that has worked very very well,
21:15
Speaker 7: and Jigma, you know, has just shut lights out. So
21:19
Speaker 7: I think they're going to stay with what they have.
21:21
Speaker 7: Probably a sixty to forty I would think.
21:24
Speaker 3: Ratio coach olmgrin with us a segment brought to you
21:26
Speaker 3: by Toyota of Kirkland Slab Jack and R and R
21:29
Speaker 3: Foundation specialist joints every Friday at this time.
21:32
Speaker 7: Now.
21:33
Speaker 3: We have talked about how Sam Darnold, how good he looks.
21:36
Speaker 3: We talked about that on Monday, so we've had a
21:38
Speaker 3: conversation about that. One thing we haven't had a conversation
21:41
Speaker 3: about is this team has added a new wide receiver,
21:44
Speaker 3: a new deep threat weapon to the rosters since last
21:48
Speaker 3: we spoke on Tuesday's trade deadline. So when it comes
21:52
Speaker 3: to adding a wide receiver talent, how quickly can you
21:55
Speaker 3: incorporate that player into the game plan. Do you feel
21:59
Speaker 3: like there are no olds barred with Rashid Shaheed this weekend?
22:03
Speaker 7: You know what, I don't think he'll have everything, but
22:08
Speaker 7: you can insert wide receivers sooner than other positions, I think,
22:13
Speaker 7: because you know the routes essentially, you know, you run
22:16
Speaker 7: a post, you're in a corner, and you run this round.
22:18
Speaker 7: They're kind of similar whoever you play for. But as
22:23
Speaker 7: far as learning that you know the intricacies of a
22:27
Speaker 7: particular pattern and how they want to do it, you
22:29
Speaker 7: have to learn that. But I think, you know, it's
22:33
Speaker 7: a good addition because it gives a little another added
22:37
Speaker 7: thing to the receiver corps. He's a different receiver than Cup,
22:40
Speaker 7: He's a different receiver than Jigma, you know, and so
22:43
Speaker 7: he adds that speed and stretching coverages. I think you're
22:47
Speaker 7: going to see him a little bit, but he's the
22:49
Speaker 7: fourth receiver. Horton's done a great job, I think, and
22:52
Speaker 7: they want to keep bringing him along. But it's a
22:55
Speaker 7: nice addition.
22:56
Speaker 4: Do you like the idea of being able to have
22:59
Speaker 4: a guy it's under because we've got pretty decent contributions
23:04
Speaker 4: from the tight ends this season then, and Jigba has
23:07
Speaker 4: been doing his thing, and Tory Horton when he's healthy,
23:10
Speaker 4: he's been a nice surprise. Do you do you just
23:13
Speaker 4: as an offensive mind, like the idea of somebody that
23:16
Speaker 4: you just can always send downfield that can kind of
23:18
Speaker 4: take the top off the defense.
23:20
Speaker 7: I love that buck. You know. Give me receivers. I
23:24
Speaker 7: love receivers. Don't give me don't give me a right
23:26
Speaker 7: guard or a center, give me a receiver, and certainly
23:29
Speaker 7: don't give me a punter or place kicker. You know,
23:32
Speaker 7: give me a receiver. So it's going to help him,
23:35
Speaker 7: I think. I mean, it's a nice pickup. I don't
23:38
Speaker 7: know how many snaps he's going to get in a game,
23:40
Speaker 7: but a lot of times now the offense is now
23:43
Speaker 7: compared to when I first started in the league, you're
23:46
Speaker 7: seeing a lot more for receiver than that kind of offense.
23:50
Speaker 7: And here is the fourth receiver. So yeah, I think
23:53
Speaker 7: it's a nice addition. I really do. Now. Having said that,
23:56
Speaker 7: I don't want them to stop throwing the ball to
23:59
Speaker 7: the tight end. I think that's a valuable thing and
24:02
Speaker 7: it will help also up the running game essentially.
24:04
Speaker 2: So that's your mindset.
24:05
Speaker 3: You're an offensive coordinator, you're general ron Wolf at the
24:09
Speaker 3: trading deadline gives you another weapon, even though you seem
24:13
Speaker 3: to have enough, Like we got a lot of weapons,
24:15
Speaker 3: we might not have enough offensive lineman. But your mindset
24:19
Speaker 3: is no, I can never have enough weapons on offense.
24:23
Speaker 7: You know what, I just said that, and so I'll
24:25
Speaker 7: stick with it. However, I thought, to your point check,
24:29
Speaker 7: I thought they might look and at another interior linment,
24:33
Speaker 7: offensive lineman, because I think on the team, if you
24:36
Speaker 7: evaluate the team, you know, you can see a lot
24:39
Speaker 7: of really good things about the offensive line, but there
24:42
Speaker 7: is some questions. Again, I think about the interior. You know,
24:45
Speaker 7: the guard position in the center. You know, it's maybe
24:48
Speaker 7: it's not working exactly the way they wanted to, but
24:51
Speaker 7: maybe they see it's coming. You know, it's getting better
24:53
Speaker 7: each week. But that's where I thought they were going
24:56
Speaker 7: to go. But I'll take the receiver.
24:58
Speaker 2: I'll take the receiver.
25:00
Speaker 3: You had Brent Jones and Jerry Rice and John Taylor
25:03
Speaker 3: and Roger Craig and Tom Rathman and yet uh you
25:07
Speaker 3: know you had Rinaldo Nehemiah to the group. Did you
25:10
Speaker 3: have Ronaldo Neamayah.
25:12
Speaker 7: No, no, he was he was out before I got there.
25:14
Speaker 2: Okay, you know guy who Mike Girard? Did you have Mike?
25:20
Speaker 7: Okay, Mike, Yeah, we had him, yep. If he got
25:24
Speaker 7: me in a lot of trouble, I'll tell you one
25:25
Speaker 7: quick story. We're playing the Bears in my last year
25:28
Speaker 7: in Green Bay, and I had players that I coach
25:31
Speaker 7: in college that were playing for the Bears, and we
25:34
Speaker 7: beat them in the last game. They were going to
25:37
Speaker 7: the playoffs. We were not. And uh, the quarterback called
25:42
Speaker 7: a pass play. We were beating him badly, and in
25:44
Speaker 7: the last thirty seconds he called the pass play for
25:46
Speaker 7: a touchdown to Mike Girard. After the game, I didn't
25:49
Speaker 7: call the play. I was on the sideline. He audibled
25:52
Speaker 7: to the play and then the players that I had
25:55
Speaker 7: came streaming over me. We thought, you knew, we knew you.
25:58
Speaker 7: What are you doing? I said, I called to play.
26:01
Speaker 7: As it turns out, Mike Schurard needed that for a
26:04
Speaker 7: big bonus. So he got into the huddle and he
26:06
Speaker 7: goes Billy Musk, who's coach in the league. He throw
26:10
Speaker 7: me the ball. I need the ball, and that's what
26:12
Speaker 7: they did, and it put me in jail. Yep, it did.
26:17
Speaker 2: I love that.
26:18
Speaker 3: You have a Mike Gerard story ready to tell? Do
26:20
Speaker 3: you have a do you have a Ronaldo Nami? Because
26:23
Speaker 3: my guest says, you wouldn't have wanted just a track
26:25
Speaker 3: guy to try to learn football on your watch.
26:28
Speaker 7: No, but I heard the story I heard. I'll tell
26:30
Speaker 7: you one quick one, and when I got there, of
26:32
Speaker 7: course he was, you know, he was Bill waltsh would
26:35
Speaker 7: take chances on players. We had a couple of defensive
26:37
Speaker 7: linemen that were track guys, discus throwers, and they never
26:41
Speaker 7: played defensive line, but he liked that kind of stuff
26:44
Speaker 7: and so they were good players too. It turned out
26:46
Speaker 7: Ronaldo was a good receiver and then in a game
26:49
Speaker 7: he just got clocked by a safety or a linebacker.
26:52
Speaker 7: You know, he was running the slant and whammo, he
26:55
Speaker 7: got hit over. We're back in the track, we're running
26:58
Speaker 7: the relays. We're not doing this.
27:02
Speaker 3: I've never once got crushed by a safety running a
27:05
Speaker 3: four by one hundred relay.
27:07
Speaker 7: So all you got to do is drop the baton
27:09
Speaker 7: and then you're in trouble. You're not gonna get hit.
27:13
Speaker 3: All right, Coach, Well, enjoy Sunday. We'll talk to you
27:16
Speaker 3: on Monday, and always appreciate it.
27:19

28:55
Speaker 5: enjoy responsibily.
28:56
Speaker 3: I remember when this first started, and part of it
28:58
Speaker 3: was that you had to drink your old drink during
29:01
Speaker 3: the segment, and I stopped doing that over time.
29:03
Speaker 2: I almost to the point where I forgot that we
29:05
Speaker 2: did that.
29:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then all of a sudden, Bucky just was like,
29:07
Speaker 3: I'm going to drink it before the second Yeah.
29:09
Speaker 10: Before she even starts speaking.
29:11
Speaker 5: Well, and yeah, that's how it originally start, because I
29:13
Speaker 5: started to drink COVID and I had to deliver the
29:16
Speaker 5: news in two minutes and finish my seltzer.
29:21
Speaker 10: Yes, so that's how I had originally started. But then
29:23
Speaker 10: it wasn't very responsible.
29:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is a lot more now we're responsible, Bucky.
29:29
Speaker 5: Speaking of responsible, Bucky's all alone this weekend. Chances are
29:33
Speaker 5: high that he goes full Lord of the Flies by Sunday.
29:35
Speaker 5: It's going to be a weekend full of logging, drinking
29:37
Speaker 5: fire booze, and grunting.
29:40
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, necessarily in that order.
29:43
Speaker 1: Right right.
29:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:47
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, it's Martini night at Chuck's house in time to
29:49
Speaker 5: put up the Christmas tree, right, So, same thing happening
29:52
Speaker 5: in both houses.
29:53
Speaker 7: Yeah.
29:53
Speaker 3: The no tradition shared across unlike any love it.
29:59
Speaker 5: It's not well, you might love this, Paul Pierce is
30:02
Speaker 5: doling out free relationship advice, which is awesome.
30:05
Speaker 2: I am all ears.
30:07
Speaker 5: On his after Dark podcast, Pierce told his listeners, if
30:10
Speaker 5: you really want to know if your girlfriend loves you,
30:13
Speaker 5: cheat on her and see how she reacts.
30:15
Speaker 2: Really, that's a great plan.
30:17
Speaker 10: Great plan.
30:18
Speaker 2: So she loves you, she sticks around.
30:21
Speaker 10: This is the part I can't figure out.
30:22
Speaker 5: So she loves you, she doesn't have self respect and
30:25
Speaker 5: she sticks around, right, Or she loves you but she
30:27
Speaker 5: leaves you and then you're the one that's screwed up.
30:30
Speaker 5: Or she leaves you but she loves I mean, there's
30:33
Speaker 5: no it's a lose lose situation. It's a loser take.
30:37
Speaker 5: Let's be honest.
30:37
Speaker 2: I don't know.
30:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, no matter how you slice it, Paul Pierce knows love.
30:44
Speaker 7: Well.
30:44
Speaker 5: Here's the crazy thing, because I was like, man, how
30:47
Speaker 5: is this guy? I mean, how many relationships has this
30:49
Speaker 5: guy been? Apparently he's been married for fifteen years. If
30:53
Speaker 5: I was his wife, I'd be so embarrassed and so
30:55
Speaker 5: not proud of my art.
30:56
Speaker 3: Thought he was one of the guys that never got married,
30:59
Speaker 3: was never gonna have kids and all of that stuff.
31:01
Speaker 10: That's what I thought.
31:02
Speaker 2: But I looked it up.
31:03
Speaker 10: He got married in twenty ten.
31:04
Speaker 4: It sounds like you just kind of did the ceremony
31:07
Speaker 4: and then didn't really live married.
31:09
Speaker 5: She's probably really I wonder how many times he cheated
31:12
Speaker 5: on her to make her a proof that she loved him, loyal.
31:15
Speaker 4: To that bank account, is what it sounds like.
31:17
Speaker 10: Well, that's the other thing.
31:18
Speaker 5: So if you cheat on her, if you cheat on
31:21
Speaker 5: her she doesn't leave you, does that mean she loves you?
31:24
Speaker 10: Or does that mean she just likes the lifestyle she's got.
31:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
31:28
Speaker 10: It's bad advice. Don't listen to Paul Pierce.
31:31
Speaker 2: Oh, don't listen. Yeah, don't. I will not. That's the conclusion.
31:34
Speaker 2: You're done.
31:34
Speaker 10: Yeah, don't listen to Paul Pierce.
31:36
Speaker 5: I don't know what's worse that he said it, or
31:38
Speaker 5: that there were people who were like, yeah, man, great advice.
31:43
Speaker 5: We are less than three weeks away from Thanksgiving and
31:45
Speaker 5: the busiest travel time of the year, and yesterday the
31:48
Speaker 5: FAA announced a ten percent reduction in air traffic in
31:51
Speaker 5: forty markets, and.
31:52
Speaker 10: Yep, sea tax one of them.
31:54
Speaker 5: So never have I ever thought we should try to
31:56
Speaker 5: find a way to make the most chaotic time of
31:59
Speaker 5: the year more chaotic, But congrats, we did it.
32:02
Speaker 2: Actually, they might have made it less chaos.
32:05
Speaker 7: I don't know.
32:06
Speaker 3: I don't know if people are going to have a
32:07
Speaker 3: choice anymore, they're not going to be able to travel.
32:09
Speaker 2: Simplified it first.
32:10
Speaker 5: That's what I just wouldn't travel. I'd be like it.
32:13
Speaker 5: It was a great idea in theory, but I.
32:14
Speaker 3: Wasn't planning on traveling this year, and now I'm very
32:17
Speaker 3: glad that I'm not planning to travel.
32:19
Speaker 5: You were going to say, now that they've reduced it
32:20
Speaker 5: by ten percent, sign me up for a flight. Starbucks
32:24
Speaker 5: released their holiday cups yesterday, including their Very Cold Cup,
32:28
Speaker 5: and it had people absolutely losing their minds.
32:31
Speaker 10: It is a twenty ounce reusable bear cup.
32:34
Speaker 2: Oh, I totally misread it. I thought protective cups.
32:37
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, not that kind of No. Starbucks hasn't gotten
32:39
Speaker 10: into that biscus yet.
32:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
