Chuck in the Morning 9/14 H2: Darnold's Injury, Husky Offensive Woes, Wins and Tough Ones · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that looks exactly like Andy Reid. That's
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the best one yet.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: That is really good.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of guys that dress
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: like Andy Reid for the Kansas City Chiefs, but I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: think Andy Reid is actually dressed like Andy Reid for
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL Network pregame show that's already started.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: It's one of those where.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It's Andy Reid portraying himself as an Andy Reid impersonator.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Right. So, like, if you ever saw Tom Cruise, Ethan Hunt,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in Mission Impossible, it's like he's wearing a Tom Cruise mask. Right. Like,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: if he would, like, Ethan Hunt would foil.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It's like, I'm pretending I'm Tom Cruise today.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you did this, Ethan Hunt. Oh, yeah.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Guess what? I'm really Ethan Hunt. Yeah. Andy Reid inception. Right? Right.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: That was weird. All right. Great morning to you all.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Our second hour here on this Monday. My name is
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powell. Anders Hurst is here. Travis Moger is here.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And yeah. Get used to it. Anders and Ashley have
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: swapped shows. Yes, we have. This is an official thing now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So Ashley will debut on the Ian Furness Show today
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: at noon. Anders Hurst is a permanent member, as long
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as you don't screw anything up today. Fair enough. Of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the morning show going forward. So, yes, we had some
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: big news, station news, show news that we broke on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Friday in case you missed it. And as we roll
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: into our number two, we're already an hour into this thing.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it's just going so smoothly. Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I was going to say the trains are rolling off
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the rails, but you know, that's good too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It depends on how you look at it. I mean,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that could be a good thing.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: You have been on the Ian show. Things are done
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a little differently. That's true. I was mentioning they're.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Going to, they need to spread out the talent. They
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: had too much singulated on the morning show for this station.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: They needed to spread it out. So that's why Ashton
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: has moved to Ian's show. Yeah, that's as good a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: way to put it as any. Upgrade for Ian if
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen one. Let's be completely honest.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, let's get to your headlines. And by
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the way, no Greg Bell today. He's in Hawaii and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: needed a couple of days off. And so he won't
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be back with us at 7.05 until Wednesday. So we'll
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: use this time just to test Anders Hirst.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: See if he's as sharp in the mornings as he's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: been in the afternoons here. Oh, I thought you were
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: going to say as Greg Bell. I'm like, that's way
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: too high a bar. No, no, no, no, no. We
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: don't want you to be grumpy. Fair enough. Yeah. Fair enough. Yeah.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We don't want you to be Greg Bell today. Okay. Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get to your headlines. They are
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light Cold as the Rockies.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Week one of the National Football League season is in
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the books. The Cardinals shocked the Chargers. That's probably the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: big upset yesterday. Also, the Giants won over the Cowboys
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: last night, 28-20, as John Harbaugh wins in his debut.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: There are three 1-0 teams in the NFC West. and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams are a last-place team.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Let's go, baby! And they lose Miles Garrett.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Come on! Miles Garrett on the IR. Looks like he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't lying about not being 100% in that opener against
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the 49ers, so he's going to miss at least four
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: weeks for his brand-new football team, Sam Darnold, which we'll
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: get into in a moment. And a moment might also
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: be out for four weeks, perhaps more, according to Mike Florio.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: from Pro Football Talk. College football, Texas rallied to win
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: over Ohio State on Saturday. Biggest game of the year,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: no question. And it looked like Ohio State was going
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to just mop the floor with them. And instead, Texas
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: rallied just stunningly to win that game by a single point.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And they're now the new number one in college football.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Oregon did not rally against Oklahoma State. They got defeated
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: by a team that hadn't won in over a year.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys pull off the shocker. Oregon remains ranked, though.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They fell from 6 to 21. Now, this might be
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the kind of day where a Husky fan would just
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: be laughing still about that result from Saturday. But the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: problem is the Huskies haven't looked any better than the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Oregon Ducks. They've actually looked really good. flat, maybe even bad,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: en route to their 2-0 start to the season. But
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a 16-14 escape victory against Utah State doesn't have anybody
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: feeling great right now about how Jed Fish's Huskies look
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in his third year on the job. UW fell out
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of the top 25, so even the pollster said, that's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: not good enough. That does not look like a good
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: football team right now. Doesn't matter that you're 2-0. Sounders
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and Galaxy played to a draw over the weekend. Since
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: we've added this Dayon character, yeah, he's scored some goals,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but we don't do anything but draw.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: We just tie things. Hey, it's an unbeaten streak, Chuck.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Let's look at it the bright side.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true. But that's three in a row, right? So
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you went from the losing streak to now the drawing streak.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe next is the winning streak. We'll find out.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It makes logical sense. Seems like the next step forward.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Upper trend. The Kraken, believe it or not, started training
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: camp over the weekend. And so it won't be long now,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: probably tomorrow, that we'll start talking some Kraken hockey here
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: in the mornings. And the Mariners somehow, inexplicably, lost two
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: walk-off games over the weekend in Sacramento to the lowly Athletics.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Eight to seven, the final score yesterday. The Mariners led
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: six to two in the seventh inning. Gabe Spire blew it. Also,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he wasn't alone. A lot of stupid mistakes down the stretch,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and ultimately Andres Munoz trying to give Dan Wilson a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: little bit more here down the stretch. Gives up a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: two-run walk-off homer to Lawrence Butler. The Mariners had the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: opportunity to gain two full games over the weekend against
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the Houston Astros, who were swept by the Tampa Bay Rays,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but they cannot close out the A's, for goodness sake.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and they remain five games back with 12 games to go.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: They'll be in Anaheim tonight taking on the Angels, another left-hander.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: It's not by mistake, I'll tell you that. No, it's not.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Reed Detmers will start for the Angels. Kate Anderson will
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: get the start tonight for the M's. So those are
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: your headlines brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light. Let's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: talk about this big headline, and that is Sam Darnold.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold is going to be out for at least
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: week two. That's all we truly know. But over the weekend,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Jay Glazer provided an update on Fox saying up to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: four weeks. Of course, that puts you into possible IR
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: territory at that point. Mike Florio went even further from
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: pro football talk. He said four to six weeks. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that does make you wonder if you do have to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: then add a quarterback to the quarterback room going forward.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But we'll get to that part of it in a moment. Just, Anders,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: your reaction to Sam Darnold, I mean, I'm not surprised
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that we're getting this report. I was actually surprised when
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: we were talking about one to two weeks. And I
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: think Friday I said, man, if you could just circle
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the Chargers game week number four to have him back,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that's a win in my book. I am fine going
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: with Drew Locke against the Cardinals and the Commanders over
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks. But even then, it didn't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: really make sense to me that that type of injury
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that he would only be out for a week or two.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: This actually makes more sense as awful as it is
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to hear.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also think that if the Seahawks did
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: think on the Florio timeline that it would be at
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: least four weeks, that they would have put them on
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: IR by now just to get the roster.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Spot, right?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So that's why maybe they're not 100% sure yet.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Or maybe Florio and Glazer got it wrong.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe, right? So I'm still kind of waiting and seeing
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: to what the Seahawks do.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Because that will tell me kind of really what the full...
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: extent of his injury is at this point because it
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: just doesn't make any sense if they know he's going
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to be out for the allotment of the ir period
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: that they wouldn't put him on that right now so
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: um that's i'm kind of waiting for that move before
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: i really fully react to okay a month of no
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: sam donald you know what i mean so um the
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: next question i mean i just i don't know i
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: i just drew lock sort of thing is, is we'll
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: kind of see what, how they react to that. But I,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I do think that, um, at the end of the day, um,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we'll wait and see kind of what the timeline is
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: for Sam Darnold. Um, before I fully like kind of
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: start thinking about where the Seahawks kind of move on
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: from there.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, I think we think about it right now.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I think we should, I think people have already started
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: thinking about where they are right now, uh, with all
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of this. Um, the other thing that I should mention
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: just from an information, point of view, is it looks
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like it's not a hip at all. It's the butt.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It's a glute. Yeah. So basically, Sam Darnold has a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: pain in the ass. And it's going to keep him
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: out four to six weeks, according to Mike Florio.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He did just get married.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Wow. Jeez. I hope your wife's not listening.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Just saying. She's not.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, good. Okay, good. I would never say that. Trust
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: me on that.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: If she is, we'll see tomorrow.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You're on the couch tonight. Yeah. Fiery Latina. You might
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: end up with a frying pan across the cheek. Yeah. So, yeah,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it's a glute. Which I think is good. I think.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I kind of reacted positively as well to that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Because the hip thing, that doesn't go. I had a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: hip injury in high school. And I wasn't getting tackled
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: by 250-pound linebackers who can run four or five 40s.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So that takes a while. And it's tricky. I think
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: maybe a glute makes me feel a little bit better.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: But then again, I'm not a doctor, so we're not
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: going to discuss that part of it. Let's talk about
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the Drew Locke part of it. I mean, I think
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if Drew Locke had to play the rest of the season,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you'll make the playoffs. Yeah. But you're not winning the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And then to a point that Greg's brought up,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I thought Dick Fane brought it up. I thought it
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was an interesting point from his perspective. Depending on how
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: many games you play, without Sam Darnold. In the interim, yeah,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we're fine. We can weather that storm. Drew Locke can
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: pull off a win or two. And that's what a
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: good backup does. Can a good backup fill in for
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the rest of the game and not give the game away?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Can he fill in for two and a half weeks
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and come away two and one? That's what a good
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: backup can do for a great team during the course
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of an NFL season. But the further that you go
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: with that guy, the more he gets exposed. And obviously,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to me, I mean, yes, Drew Locke might get better,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: might play better with more exposure. But I think the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: more games he played, the more holes get poked in
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the record. And I don't think there's a big margin
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: for error here. And for a team that has only
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl when they've had home field advantage
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in their history, that number one seed, that division title,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to have to face potentially the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Rams three times in five weeks at the end of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the year. Last two out of three regular season games,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and then whoever wins the division probably is going to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: have the best record in the league. And maybe we
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have to factor the 49ers in there as well. I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I think we do.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And then the other team's probably going to be the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: five seed, the top wild card. Well, if the cookie
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: crumbles the way that it should, and chalk plays out,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: that means you're facing them your first game in the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: playoffs again, if you have the division title. So when
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you start thinking about it in those terms, how important
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: is it going to be to have that buy, to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: have that number one seed, to win the division, and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: four to six weeks, I mean, if you're okay with
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: two and one, let's say over a three-week span with
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: your backup, now we're talking about adding two losses to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: even if you stay at a good clip, a two
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: out of every three clip with Drew Locke, you're still
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: looking at a very small margin for error when you're
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: talking about the Rams and 49ers being in your division.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And that could, you know, the longer he's out, the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: less chance you've got of getting that number one seed.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: And that could be everything in terms of you getting
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: from the playoffs and back to the Super Bowl.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's look at the next four weeks.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: We got Cardinals, Commanders, Chargers, 49ers. So let's say it
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: is an IR stint and you have four weeks. I'm looking,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: if it's Cardinals, Commanders, like you said, I'm comfortable with
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Drew Locke going in those two games. But then anything
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: further than that, Chargers would, you know, they had a
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: tough week one, but I still think they're going to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: be a decent football team. And then the 49ers, that
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: team that just beat the Rams, it's in your division.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that's a huge game, huge, huge game. So you need
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: to have some sort of clarity, um, About Drew Locke
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: slash Sam Darnold, but before you get to that point, obviously.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: But I still feel pretty confident in Drew Locke. I
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: don't know what external... Pretty confident. Yeah, not like he's
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: going to lead you to the Super Bowl. He's no
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: drop-off from Sam Darnold.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: He's not Sam Darnold. Yeah, exactly. It's a drop-off. Yes.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And anybody that's talked themselves into something else, you're wrong.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: You're 100% wrong. And there's a reason why there was zero...
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: thought process behind Sam Donald's our starter even last year
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: when they had signed him and they hadn't seen him
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: yet right so the Seahawks obviously know that that's their
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: guy and I think that's one of the reasons that
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: gives them a lot of you know positive vibes so
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: to speak they have continuity everyone knows their role right
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: but I also if for those who are instantly looking
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: at external options I'm thinking I don't know what is
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: available out there that would be an upgrade on Drew
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Locke Personally, especially when you think about the continuity factor,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the guy that's been here all preseason, that is learning
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: on the fly with Brian Fleury. So I don't know.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: There's so much unknown here, but it all depends on
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the length for Sam Darnold. The next four weeks, those
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: first two I'm fine with, but then as soon as
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: that 49ers game hits, you have to start making a decision.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they'll make decisions before that. For right now,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: it's obvious that they are okay with what they have
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: in their quarterback room and with the diagnosis they're getting
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: on Sam Darnold. If we find out a little bit later,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: let's just run through the exercise. Let's say that they
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: do come away from this confident that he's going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: miss this week and next week, which is what we
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: were discussing Friday. That's still going to be their timetable,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and we're going to hold out hope that Sam's going
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to be back and ready for the Chargers game.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: You don't make any move at that point. No. You
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: just stick with Locke, and if anything happens, Jalen Milrow's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: your guy. Yeah. And you just got to figure out
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a different way how to win a football game if
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Jalen Milrow is your guy. If it is an IR stint,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: if we are talking, and that's a minimum of four games,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: do you then add a quarterback?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: If nothing else, just to have some insurance, I would.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, then I've got your guy for you, Jake Browning. Okay.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Jake Browning, who's been pretty good as a backup with
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals the last couple of years. He can
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: win you a game if you need him to. Absolutely.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I've seen it happen.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Certainly not going to start over Drew Locke, but you're
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: not going to find anybody on the waiver wire that
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to start over Drew Locke. But he does
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: give you some depth and smart guy. seattle ties obviously
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: um and could i think do what drew lock did
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: in week number one for drew lock at somewhere over
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: the course of the next four games if you can
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: get him up to speed with the playbook so if
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: it's four and you're just looking for some free agent
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: that you can fill out your quarterback room and not
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: have to change your game plan if drew goes down
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in a game and you can just kind of Because
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Jalen Milrow comes in the game, you're a different offense.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And that's the kind of situation I want to avoid.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I want to rely on Jalen Milrow for nothing other
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: than an emergency situation for if Drew Locke gets hurt
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: in a game and you can bring him in.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: If it ends up being like six weeks and beyond,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and you have to start considering, do we need an
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: upgrade over Drew? Your only option really is a trade
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: at that point.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You know, where will the Raiders be four weeks from
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: now with Kirk Cousins? Yeah. Where would, I'm trying to
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: think of somebody else.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Whoever loses a job in Atlanta?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe. Yeah, maybe. But then you start kicking the tires
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: on possible trades and who's not really, Jacoby Brissett's. Right.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Are we going to consider that sort of thing if
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Drew's not getting the job done? And I know what
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying. Drew's just as good
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: as those guys. Don't change anything. I don't disagree with that. No,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't either. But I'm just thinking about the possibility of, no, no, no, no, no.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a while, and we need
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: somebody that can play as well, if not better, than
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke. We don't want a Band-Aid at this point.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: We're going to need some sort of medical procedure at
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: this point. If you found out tomorrow that he's out
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: for the year, Tom Brady. Wow. No way. I'm not
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: even kidding. No way.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I know you're not. That's why I'm, no way. If
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you dangled in front of him. You think you would?
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yes. Really? If you dangled in front of him like, hey,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you're still as fit as you've ever been. It's true.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: You're still throwing in camps. We've seen it. And you
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: missed the spotlight. Otherwise, you wouldn't be dating 18-year-olds.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Very true.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You know you want to do this. You've already ruined
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: your family life, according to your wife. Yeah, I get it.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You're the owner of the Raiders. But do you want
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to be? He'd be playing against his own team. Well,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: he'd have to surrender.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: He'd have to sell it. Yeah, he'd have to get
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: rid of all his interest. He would have to give
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: up a lot.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: We're going to put you back in the spotlight, 50
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: years old, coming back to the National Football League. take
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: over a team with the best defense in the nfl
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: trying to defend their championship are you interested hell yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Two of the four if that happens all you gotta
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: do is feed his ego that's all you gotta do
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: yeah i don't know he's what is he 44 now
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: 45 tom brady.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I think he's older than that. I think he's closing
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: in on 50. Look it up. 49. 49. There you go. Wow.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I'll take one even further because this would be hilarious
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: for all of those people that are like, Sam Darnold's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: just another Trent Dilfer. You know what Mike McDonald, if
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he was arrogant, would do? Go sign Trent Dilfer. 54-year-old
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Trent Dilfer.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: He can win in my team.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: 260 pounds. Yeah. I'll show you how good I am.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I will win with Trent Dilfer. Today.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Not 20 years ago.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Right. Today. Today's Trent Dilfer. When I go to defensive coach,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I am going to win the Super Bowl with 54-year-old
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Trent Dilfer. Oh, my God. At least sign him to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the practice squad. Sure. Yeah.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Let's do it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Why not? All right. Coming up next, a little college
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: football for you, plus some factor fiction. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Boy,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: it didn't take very long, Travis, I'll tell you this much. Gosh,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: we are an hour and 20 minutes into Anders Hurst
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: having become an official member of the morning show. What'd
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I do? And we go to the last break. Go
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to the last break. And, you know, I've put a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: lot into this show here today. And he goes, God,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: my back hurts. I'm like, wait a minute. You think
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you're carrying me already like an hour and 20 minutes
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: into the show? Yes.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: No, that is far from the truth.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: My back hurts from carrying you, bud.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I walked into Travis's studio and I was like, man,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: they tell you about the mental effects of having kids.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: They don't tell you about the physical effects from having kids.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: My.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: shoulders are killing me from carrying my kid around all
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: day yesterday, watching football.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: It's insane.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: He is a big boy. So how much does he weigh?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Like 22, 23 pounds as a seven-month-old.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Wow. Is that a lot? Yes. That's big.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: He's in like the 75th percentile in terms of weight.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: If you just carry around a 25-pound weight. All the time.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: You know, for three straight hours. All the time. Toss
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: it in the air and, you know.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Over the shoulders.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: He's close to being able to like sit himself up,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: but like every once in a while he falls over.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: You have to go pick him up. It's a whole process.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Do you baby Bjorn it?
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Sometimes. Is that a quitter? Like, I don't know how
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you dads with young children, Travis's are now grown a
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: little bit. Five and eight. Okay. Did you baby Bjorn
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: it or did you feel like that's a quitter?
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Like around the house, did you baby Bjorn it? I mean,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: when we went out, We would baby-bjorn it sometimes.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I would do it before going on a walk or something.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: You're calling your kids kids. Sorry about that. Yeah. Sorry
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: That is kind of a quitter, though. Do you think so?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Learn some independence, brother.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Come on. To me, that's like the benefit of having
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: children is the bicep workout. I guess. And the shoulder
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: workout that you're getting. Yeah. And you don't even realize
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it over time. Sure. Sure. All right. So it wasn't me.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: No, it was not.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Okay. I promise. Not yet, at least. Hour and 20 minutes. Oh,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: this guy in the back hurts from carrying. This show, man.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Factor Fiction coming up here at 7.35. Later on in
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the show, we will talk about Jed Fish and his
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: offense at a greater length. I don't think we can
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: go any further, though, without mentioning it. And frankly, Jed
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: looked very frustrated last Saturday. And I know that he
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to answer the questions about What's wrong with
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: your offense? I mean, that's his baby. That's his bread
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and butter. If Jackson Pollock held a press conference and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: somebody said, what's wrong with your paintings? He'd take it personally.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: What's with all the splatter? Yeah, exactly. What were you thinking?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Did you ever think about going between the lines? He
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to talk about... It's not that he was
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: angry with the media. It's that he has to look
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: in the mirror, and he's forced to look in the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: mirror and admit, the thing that I'm known for is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: not working two games into the season. And I guess
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that's why you schedule the cupcakes in college football. So
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that you make sure you get those wins and then
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: try to figure out on the fly what it's going
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to take to be better. But man, do they look
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: a long way away. from being ready to face big
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: 10 defenses right now.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And he should be worried. And if that's what it was,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that's how the frustration leaked out. It's because of worry. Like, man,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I do not, I don't have any answers right now
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: for how to fix this. And it, and it manifested
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: itself and being like angry or grouchy then understandable. Yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I just, the question is that I always ask myself is,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: is it, Like, player's execution? Or do we feel like
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: this team isn't coached well enough? And it's hard to
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: answer that at this point. I think you're guilty of
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: both at this point. The way that they've looked.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I mean... Look, he took on all of those responsibilities
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: himself this year. And yeah, your players aren't executing. There's
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: no question that your players are not executing right now
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: on the offensive side.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Of the ball.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: But that's your job. That's what you do in practice.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That's part of coaching.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That's part of coaching. You have talent and you get
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: it to execute. And so far... Just the results have
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: not been there, and it is worrisome. Big Ten plays
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: now just two weeks away, and this team does not
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: look ready for it right now.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the most worrying part about it for me
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: is like DeMond Williams. Yes, he saved them against Wazoo
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: with that third and nine, the run, the scramble. But
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: it's hard to say anything other than he looks like
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: he's taken a step back. than what he was last year.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Because in the games, yes, he still struggled in those
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: big games against the top Big Ten opponents, but in
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the other games, he was... assuredly the best player on
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: the field and would dominate and we're not even seeing
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: that this year with two cupcakes at the beginning of
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the season so i hope i hope that's just their
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: preseason and then he gets better throughout the rest of
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the year but we'll see what ends up.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Well to me he looks like the best part of
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: it yeah like and that's the bad part the offensive
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: line that was supposed to be so good um it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: not creating holes we know there are two running backs
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: down but Third and fourth string don't look so good
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: right now, so they can't run the football. Rasheed Williams
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: goes down with an injury. He had looked like the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: best receiver, even more so than Roebuck back in week
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: number one.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: So Williams isn't playing great, but he's not played poorly
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: where the rest of the team, the rest of the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: offense has played poorly. Something we'll talk about later on
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in the show, but right now we have to play
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: some fact or fiction. We're set to go. Glad you're
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: with us. It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the $ 10, 000 grand prize. It's Fact or Fiction. Proudly presented
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every day feels lucky.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM. Well,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it's early in the season, we know. It's early in
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the Factor Fiction season as well. But so far, I
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: haven't exactly tossed out some nail biters for you. I
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: kicked this game's ass in pick number one, and then
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I got mine kicked in picks two and three. I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: have not spent a single fourth quarter wondering if I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: was going to win Factor Fiction.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: That's the toughest part about it. You want to at
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: least be close and have something to watch later in
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this game, the last couple of games has kicked
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: my ass a new butt. That's what's happened. So, you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and lean on, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know these teams yet. We need a little
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: bit of time to figure them out, and we really
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: don't have a choice. Like, I got the first Monday
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Night Football game tonight. I'm going to pick it because
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I think our listeners are entitled to have someone pick
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the Monday night game, so they have something to root
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: for tonight, and I don't know if anybody else is
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: going to pick it, so I'll go ahead and do it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I'll jump on that grenade. So Denver Broncos, Kansas City
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Chiefs tonight, which you can hear right here at Sports
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Radio 93.3 KJR FM, and I'm going to take the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. They're on the road, and they're getting points,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and I think they're the better football team Kansas City, hey,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't bounce back a
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: little bit this year. But first game for Patrick Mahomes
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: on that new knee, number one, I don't think they're
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: going to be conservative with it. I think they're going
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to let it rip. I just don't know if that's
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: going to work against Denver's defense. So I just am
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: going to go ahead and pick the better football team
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: here on what is practically a pick-em. And if you're
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: going to give me an extra point or two, then
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. So... I'll take the Denver Broncos. I
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: did lose a half point this morning. The line moved.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: It would have been nice to have it at two
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: But I think that line moved for a reason because
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: all the smart money is now coming in on Denver
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: here this morning. So I'm going to take the Broncos.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to win outright tonight. So if
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: you're going to give me a point or two, I'll
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: take plus two at Kansas City. Monday night football against
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they might win this game outright, to
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: be completely honest. So the half a point doesn't make
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: a huge difference for me. Having the three be there
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: would be great. But I still like plus two here
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: because I think, like you said, Denver's just a better team.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: They remind me a lot of the Seahawks last year.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: where it's just depth, depth, depth, depth. And a guy
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: that can get it done at the quarterback position, not
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: going to win MVP by any stretch of the imagination,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: but he's going to be a guy that He's just
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: going to keep the ball, going to help kind of
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: move his team forward, and then that elite defense is
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: going to come through big. So I like the Broncos
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: in this game. Well, both quarterbacks are coming back from injuries,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: by the way. Good point.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: So this will be their first start. That's a good point.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't think about that.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: But I am going to take Denver at plus two
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: at Kansas City tonight on Monday Night Football. If you
• 30:29

  Speaker 1: 11.35 this morning. Coming up next, yes, we've got another
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: round of wins and tough ones. That's right. Let's go.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: It's our NFL scoreboard, our never-ending scoreboard. Love it. Sports
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Radio 93.3, KJR FM. Normally we just do our NFL
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: score segment, now known as wins and tough ones. In
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: our 6 o'clock hour, and then we're kind of done
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: with it. But today, without a Seahawks game taking up
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the entire show... Why not spread the NFL scoreboard over
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: the course of the entire show so we can talk
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: about each game? Absolutely. Highlight each game. So here we go.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Part two of wins and tough ones here on Chuck
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in the Morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM with Anders Hurst.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens 41-23 winners over the Indianapolis Colts. A game
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: that I really got wrong. Yeah. And you know what?
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: As good as the Giants looked with John Harbaugh, I mean,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: they just looked like a functioning unit for the first
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: time in years. And it's amazing what a good head
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: coach can do to fix stuff like that. For sure.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest. I mean, the Ravens, I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: sat there for the last two or three years going,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: how can you not play? You should be unstoppable offensively
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: with Henry and Jackson and Flowers. How are you not unstoppable?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: And they've not been nearly as good as they should
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: have been. And Jesse Mentor and his coaching staff seem
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: to have unlocked something about them because they felt like
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: they were a team that could have scored 70 if
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: they wanted to yesterday.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that was another impressive win. I hadn't understood...
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: what everyone's obsession with the Ravens was coming into the year.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I think they were like third on the Super Bowl
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: odds list or something like that, which was kind of
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: crazy to me coming out of nowhere.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: They had the same over-under as the Rams when the
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: books opened.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I hadn't understood that, but I watched them
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: yesterday and I was like, man. Maybe this is what
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: everyone was seeing because, like you said, it feels like
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: they're kind of just tapping into the potential of that
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: offense with Lamar and Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers. But
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: we'll see if Zay Flowers is injured for sure.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Well, it was really fun to have Zay Flowers and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: feel great about Zay Flowers and see him have five
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: catches for 150 yards in the middle of the second quarter.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, boy, I am a genius. And then
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, hamstring out. Oh, gosh.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I could tell it was a bad fantasy weekend for you, Chad.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: It was a really bad one. We can discuss that
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: later if you'd like. Jets won over the Tennessee Titans 23-10.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is overreaction Monday across the country. And
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: there are going to be a lot of bad overreactions.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm really going to do my best not to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: overreact here on this day. But I think there's some
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: pretty hard truths. The Cleveland Browns are terrible. The... What
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: was the other team? Titans. Who's the other team, though,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: that we were discussing? Dolphins. The Dolphins. The Dolphins are
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: going to be terrible, and the Titans are going to
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: be terrible. The reason why the Titans are extra terrible?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Because they think they're going to be good. The other
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: two know we're rebuilding. Like, we're trying to tank. The
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Titans with Robert Sala and Cam Ward in the second year,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: they think they're going to make some sort of breakthrough
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: this year. Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, I watched our
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: third stringers beat the crap out of their starters in
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: a preseason game. They're terrible, and they got crushed by
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the Jets.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and wait, what was the end of that sentence?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Crushed by the Jets. By the Jets. That's the part
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that really gets me.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: It's like, man, you lost to that team?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: The Jets are sitting in their locker room like, I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: really thought we put together a bad team. Where did
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: we go wrong? Exactly. We're supposed to be losing on purpose.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: What's going on? That's a lose-lose game.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: The Jets are trying to lose, and the Titans are
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: trying to win, and the opposite happened. It's very clear
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: we've gotten too many good players on our bad team.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, Jets, you'll find out soon enough that you
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: very much do not have a good team.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I agree. Lions won over the Saints, barely, 31-30. Lions,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a team that both Anderson and I are really high
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: on this year, but they didn't do much to impress you. Yesterday,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: New Orleans had a chance to win that game with
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: a two-point conversion and just could not convert. Otherwise, Dan
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Campbell's not celebrating with his team in the locker room. 31-30.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And that was a home game for them. So those
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: are supposed to be the games where they're supposed to
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: be exquisite at home. They're built to win at home.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: But they barely survived against the Saints.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I think they were up 21-0, too, at some point.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Or at least three touchdowns.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Somebody said it would have been their biggest blown loss
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: in franchise history. 21 points. I've seen a lot of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: bad Lions games. Oh, yeah.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: But that defense, man, I thought it would be improved.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: And even with Aiden Hutchinson full and healthy, and he
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: made some plays, it didn't look great. A lot of
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: people liked it. Saints is a jump-up team, and I've
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: got to say, they impressed me a decent amount yesterday
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I kind of do a little bit this year. I mean,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: not like 11 wins or something like that. No, no,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it could be an 8 or 9. Yeah. I can
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: see it happening. Another thing about Week 1, which is
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: worth noting, is it was a great, opener for the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: stars of the league and jameer gibbs was unbelievable yeah
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: uh yesterday oh yes 29 catch or 29 carries 156
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns he is electrifying yep my goodness is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: he good finally uh for this portion of wins and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: tough ones uh we have one more to go Cincinnati
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: won over Tampa Bay 33-27, the final score. Both teams
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: were sloppy. A lot of teams have been sloppy. We
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: know that to start a football season. But this was
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a particularly sloppy game. And Tampa Bay was more sloppy. Sloppier. Yeah. Sloppiest.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the sloppiest of the bunch. Sloppy jokes.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield had three fumbles and lost them all. Again,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: this gets back to opening week. We don't practice hitting.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: We don't practice tackling. Here's Baker Mayfield. He's overexcited. He's
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: already an emotional player. Just got his new contract. He
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: won't go down. I'm going to try to score every
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: single time I run the football, and yet I'm carrying
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: the ball loose, and I haven't taken a hit all
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: year long, and I forgot how hard these guys hit.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: And there are so many guys now in the league
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that are deliberately trying to punch the ball out of
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: your arms. He cost him the game. I mean, he
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: was just absolutely careless with the football in the red zone.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I watched our old Seahawk friend Boya Mafe
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: look pretty good for Cincinnati, who does have an improved defense.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: We talked about a couple other teams looking to improve
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: their defense, the Lions and Cowboys, that had previously poor defenses.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I think the Bengals can't actually say that they improved
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: their defense because they look pretty good.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Again, hard to tell week number one. Yeah,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: it is hard to tell. A lot of liars out there.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Who knows how it's going to all iron out. I mean,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati didn't look good yesterday to me, but they still
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: pull off the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: All right. Like I said, one more segment of wins
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and tough ones later on in the show. We always
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: let our listeners name our NFL scoreboard segment every year.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: And I take the first suggestion that's not vulgar. I
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: ended up, yeah, so we ended up going with wins
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and tough wins this year. Yeah, I like it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: It's going to be Dan Wilson's legacy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: For the entire football season, wins and tough wins. ones
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: right here on Chuck in the mornings. Coming up next,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: speaking of tough ones, we will talk about that Mariners
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: loss yesterday, their lost opportunity this weekend, and why some
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: of the things that have frustrated us all season long,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: just continue without any correction or adaptation. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
