Chuck in the Morning 9/8 H3: It's a Showdown! Shutting down the Pats and the Huskies newest problem. · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The start of the National Football League season. Tomorrow night,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks will begin defense of their crown. Try to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: repeat as Super Bowl champions. How beautiful does that sound?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Lumenfield's going to be rocking. It's going to be an
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: all-day party. And I'm sure many of you are going
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: to be part of the festivities. And so now we
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: have reached the part in our broadcast year where we've
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: got to put our predictions on the line. Yes, it's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: our National Football League preview. How do we preview the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: upcoming season? Well, we do it with a draft, of course,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like God intended. And so what we're going to do
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: is we're going to take the over-under totals at NFL
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Vegas Insider. We're going to use that as our template.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got the exact same template to use. And we're
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: going to pick teams based off of their win totals.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Vegas has given us. And this isn't just check a box.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You won the bet. You could win four bets out
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of four. Nope. We give you plus three if you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: picked the Jets to go over five and a half
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and they win eight and a half games. The Jets.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Good one. Then you get plus three to your total.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So that's a little bit different than just punching a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: ticket at the window because you got the over-under total
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: right on the win total. So that's what we're going
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to do. We've got a listener now as part of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: our showdown. It used to be called the Green Jacket Draft,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: but that was way before we did listeners.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those were a long time ago.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, eons ago. So now we have a listener
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that participates with us. Who is our... Micah. Micah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Micah is our listener.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He sounds smart. Yes.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I asked him his IQ before I put him on.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We did a little vetting. Want to make sure? Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Basically, I said, okay, you'd like to do it? Here's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the link.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Talk to you soon. Well, I think that maybe we've
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: gotten too smart of contestants so far, and I don't
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: want this to end up backfiring on us and making
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: us look bad. Well, there's a solid chance. A few
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: more dumb guys maybe in the future. I hear you. Yeah,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: that would be nice. I hear you. Let's see if
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Micah continues the smart trend. Good morning, Micah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Thanks for participating. We appreciate it. Absolutely. Do you follow
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the National Football League, Micah?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I do, every.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Week.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: He's already doing well.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You think you got a good grasp on it?
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: You know what? I am so smart, SMRT.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: All right, well, good. We're excited to draft with you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: here today. And you understand the rules, right? You've got
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it down? Ashley gave you a good breakdown?
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Yep, pick four teams that I like.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, there we go. That's pretty simple.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty much it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: All right, last thing we need then, Ashley, is our
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: draft order.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We've also got Anders, too. Yeah, he's on there, too.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Anders is here. I was going to say
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hi to him eventually.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Draft order, are you ready?
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So, Chuck, what is it that you said to me right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Before we came back? I don't want the number one pick.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And I put in the names right afterwards. Guess what
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you got.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: The number one pick. That's right.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You're doing this on purpose.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I swear. I just laughed back here.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: I was like, oh, my God. How did that just happen?
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: Anders is number two. Micah, number three. And I am fourth.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Okay. All right. Well, you know why I don't want it?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Because I know what I've got to do. Yeah, I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: wanted this. I got three picks that I love at
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: number one. And so I would like to not.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: You want someone to take some away so you don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: have to make a choice.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And then that improves my chances on the second round
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of getting something else that I really love. So that's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: why I didn't want it. But hi, Anders, by the way.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Good to have you with us. Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me be a part of all this
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: festivities once again.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Here we go. With my number one selection. You know what?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And I didn't want to come across as a homer,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but I'm just going to do it. You know, I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: just going to go ahead and take the Seahawks over
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: ten and a half. There you go. I'm not sure
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it's my favorite pick, but I don't know if I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: can justify not taking them number one. I do feel
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: incredibly confident with this. For those people that think they're
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: going to slide, you're out of your minds. I don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: know if we're going to win another Super Bowl. Might
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: not even win the division, considering what the Rams did
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to bolster their roster this year. But I certainly suspect
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that the Seahawks are going to be an even better
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: football team this year than they were a year ago,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: at least during the regular season. And so 10.5 seems
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: like mincemeat. I like a lot of overs, and it
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: seems to me like that's an easy thing to punch.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So I'm expecting like a 13-4, 14-3 kind of year
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: from this team, and that's way over 10.5. So give
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: me the Seahawks over 10.5 as the number one pick
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that I didn't want.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's where you had to go, honestly. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: would have done the same thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Anders, you are up next. What are you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: going to do?
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I probably would have made the same pick.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: But this was, to me, I have two picks that,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: or I guess three, that are very much hammer. Well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: you only get to make one. Yeah, well, I'm just
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: explaining my strategy here.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Stop bragging about how many picks you have, okay?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, got it, got it, got it. My bad.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: No, you're good, you're good. So I'm going to take
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: the Broncos over nine and a half wins.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I think they're kind of this year's version
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: of the Seattle Seahawks. They're coming in with a bunch
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: of depth. Their defense is elite. I think they have
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: the weapons. Jaden Waddell is going to be a big
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: kind of thing for them to help them kind of
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: get over the top offensively. They could have made it
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: to the Super Bowl last year if Bo Nix was healthy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: So I just think that this team is one of
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the elite teams in the NFL, and the 9.5 is
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: a pretty easy overview.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I had them over as well, and for a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: lot of the reasons you just detailed, I would suspect
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that Bo Nix gets a little bit better. Their defense
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is elite, and I had them. I was going to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: probably take them in the second round, but I think
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that's a really good, safe pick right there. I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: 9.5 is too low. All right, Micah's got the third selection,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: our listener, in our showdown draft. It's his first-ever pick.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I hope that he's not nervous. What do you got, Micah?
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I do have one quick question.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: The picks that I'm making, are they the yellow highlighted
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: selections that were given to me?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that first, the first column.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, first column.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: The left-hand column.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: All right. Just want to clarify.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Okay, so with my first pick, I'm going to take,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: give me Jacksonville for the over eight and a half.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I hate that Micah is here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: That was going to be my.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: That's my number one pick. That's mine, too. Oh, my gosh.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Just hang up on Mike.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I should. Oh, sorry.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Bad connection, Mike.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Bye. They won 13 games last year. I think people
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: don't realize that. They were 13-4 a year ago, and
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Vegas is putting them at 8.5 with their win total
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this season. I mean, they should be better. Trevor Lawrence
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: finally arrived last year as a really good quarterback. Travis
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Hunter hardly played a year ago, should be more seasoned
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this year. I think they're going to be good defensively.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to be really good offensively. And
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they're in a division that's tough. I mean, it's not
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: NFC West, but that's a pretty tough division. I think
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that's a great pick. I think you're going to get
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: like a plus five on that one.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Me too. I'm jealous.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, Micah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Man, that's the only one I had circled.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You know, this is what I've always said my entire
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: broadcasting career. I hate smart listeners.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Kind of ruins our job, doesn't it? All right, Ashley.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: You got back-to-back picks here.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm kind of relieved that I wasn't going to
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: get Jacksonville no matter what.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, no, you weren't going to, that's for sure.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: But I thought, I was like, oh, I've got this.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Thanks a lot, Micah. I got to go in our
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: own division. And everyone says they're going to go undefeated,
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: so why don't you give me the Rams over 11
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: and a half.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: That was the other one.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I could get both of those.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, over 11 and a half on the Rams. I mean,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's kind of, I think. For a Seahawks fan, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: think that's gross that you picked them in the first round.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, that's why I don't like doing it, but
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: I like to win contests.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: You could have waited until the second round, maybe.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: That's true, I could have.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Would have made it more palatable.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Just done it as my second pick.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Right. We weren't going to steal it. Yeah, you were.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But over 11 and a half, yeah, for a team
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: that they are... actively speculating, and not just in Los Angeles,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: actively speculating as to whether or not they're going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: go 17-0 this year. Yeah, I think they're going to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: get over that. I think the Seahawks is a safe bet.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars are a really safe bet. And
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I think that the Rams are a really safe bet.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And there was part of me, I mean, I actually have,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: if you look at my sheets, my number one rank
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is the Rams. And number two was the Jaguars. So
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: all the best bets are coming off the board. Yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: they are. But don't worry.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: See, now I'm going to balance it out, everybody, okay?
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: So I took the Rams there.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to take the 49ers under 10.5.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Well, there's another pick that I like. This is just
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a bloodbath.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: See, but I balanced it out in terms of our division.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: There you go. See, I picked one to do well
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and one to poop their pants.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you picked two good picks.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I did do that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And it's pissing me off.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm fine with that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Ashley must like short grass because she's mowing a lot
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: of lawnmowers.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: No kidding.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I'm a riding lawnmower, too. I've got a drink in
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: one hand and I'm steaming.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Making designs. That's old John Deere Ryan back there. That's right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, I will say this. I don't know
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: if it was you or I that picked the 49ers
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: under last year, but I know we both loved that pick.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it didn't go well. That's why I was hesitant,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: but I'm doing it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I've always, you know, as sports talk show hosts and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you have an opinion, you'd rather be early on a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: prediction than late on a prediction, of course. Um, so
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to have a rough year. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I think that there's no one that should expect if
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you're a 49ers fan and you suspect, well, this year
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: we'll stay healthy. No, you won't. You're not going to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: stay healthy. It's the same guys that get hurt every
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: single year. They're not going to stay healthy. So I,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I think that they are a slowly sinking ship, but
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it's a really minor week, obviously.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: It's, it's, I equate this to the Astros, guys, because
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: for like the last four years, I have said, all right,
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: this is the year the Astros finally fall off the
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: table and become really bad. And they never do. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: they're still leading the division now. So that's why I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: kind of staying away from this one. I think in
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: my head, I was thinking the under 10 and a half,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: they seem like a team that's about to fall apart,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: but they end up kind of still staying there every
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: single year.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Well, these jerks have taken all the best picks so far. So, Micah,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you might as well continue. Why don't I just hand
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you my sheet? Why don't you just read right off
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of my notes? And then you can just pick my
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: pocket right in front of my face again.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, if you'd stop sending them to me,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: then I wouldn't have to.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: All right, what do you got here, Micah? It's your
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: second round pick. You know what?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go with... I hate doing it because...
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: They're super annoying. They're right out there in San Francisco.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say, unfortunately, over on Dallas.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: That's a good one.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: They are kind of a hot pick. I just heard
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Pete Prisco this morning say Jaguars and Cowboys in the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That was weird. How about that as a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl matchup? I don't think they're going to do that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think their defense can be that much improved,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but I do think they play in a in a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: division where two teams are not very good. Um, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: so I, I, I think nine and a half taking
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the over on that. I think that's a pretty good
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: bet right there. I, I'm not overwhelmed by that selection.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Like I am the other five that have been made
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in this draft, but then again, those were probably the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: top five picks on the board. So, all right, good job, Micah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I like that you hate it. Um, and yeah, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I liked it. It's at least not one of my
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: favorite picks out there. All right, Anders, you are up next.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You've got the Broncos over 9.5. What are you going
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to do now?
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to go the New England Patriots under 9.5.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: I think there's a world where they completely fall off
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: the table. this year with everything going on with mike
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: rabel um there could be a coaching change in the
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: middle of the year their schedule is insanely hard i
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: think there's there could be a lot of turmoil going
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: on this is this has a chance to blow up
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: in my face if they just put it all back
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: together but i think that's less likely than the fact
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: that this this could get really bad and i can
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: get a lot of points from this if they're you
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: know a four or five win team here this year
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: so I don't think they're that bad as a team,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: but with everything going on, I don't see them seamlessly
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: putting everything together like they did last year, especially with
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: how hard of a schedule they have.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, they're 9.5. They won 14 games. I mean,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that is a really big drop-off. As a matter of fact,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I put an upwards arrow by them to go over,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: but I do like your logic. I do like the
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: way that you thought through it. If there is a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: candidate that's dealing with some stuff... That's intangible. It's probably
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. So I think it'd be hilarious.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean, I don't want to necessarily
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: give you a win on that round, but I think
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: it'd be hilarious if they finished the year seven and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: 10 and everybody blamed Vrabel and Rossini. That would be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: comedy right there.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I also just am not sold on Drake May.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: I'm going to be completely honest with you guys. Maybe
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: it's just because the one real full game I watched
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: was the Super Bowl, but I just don't know. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: don't know.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I think you're wrong on that. I think he's the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: real deal. Yeah, all right. As a matter of fact,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in the know that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: are like, you don't realize how good he is. So
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: he might actually take a big step forward this year.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: We'll see. He's got a number one receiver for the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: first time in his career. All right, I've got back-to-back
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: selections here. There's nothing Micah can do about that, I'll
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: tell you that much right now. Let's see. I'm going
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to go over Philly, 10.5. And I just think they're
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the real deal. I think Saquon Barkley has a big
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: bounce-back season this year for people that are writing off
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the 29-year-old running back. And I think that their defense
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: has a whole other gear that it could reach. And
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I think that the Reds, excuse me, the Commanders and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the Giants aren't going to be nearly as good as
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: what people are giving them credit for this year. So
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to be four easy wins on
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that schedule there. So that's going to be my next selection.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And then I'll go ahead and I'll double down on
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: that theory. And I'm going to take under seven and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a half on the Washington Commanders.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Okay. Dang it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Ah, good. It's about time I heard somebody else's feelings.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Got the number one pick, which I didn't want. Then
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I had to listen to four or five great picks
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, about time that somebody– about time
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the tables got turned. All right, Anders, you are up next.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Where are you going to go here?
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's funny because I do think the– You
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: know what?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I'll wait.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: I'll wait on that. I'll wait on that. I'm going
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: to do New Orleans Saints under seven and a half wins.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: A lot of people are buying the Tyler Shuck kind
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: of hype, but I'm not. I like Kellen Moore. I
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: think they could be an improved team, but I don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: think they get eight wins. I'll tell you that. So
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: I'll take the under seven and a half for the
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: New Orleans Saints.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Under seven and a half. I'd stay away from that one.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to be right around there. But, yeah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you're right. A lot of people do think they're going
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: to take a big step forward this season. And, frankly,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: 7.5 kind of is a step forward the way the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Saints have been playing. They won six a year ago,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and I think even that was seen as a little
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: bit of overachievement. All right, Micah, back to you. You've
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: got the Jaguars over 8.5, the Cowboys over 9.5. Where
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: are you going?
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Let me see.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I think I'm going to go with.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: I think I'm going to go with... Let's.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: See.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go under on Chicago. Under?
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love that pick. I mean, I don't know
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: if it's accurate. But I do love the idea behind it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I think people are way too hyped on the Bears,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: have given up on the Detroit Lions... given up on
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and yeah, I see why people
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: are excited about Chicago, but sort of handing them the throne,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: like the next great team in the National Football League,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I think they got a lot more proving to do
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: on that front. They won an awful lot of games
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: on their last play of the game last year. They
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: were the commanders of 20... The 2024 Commanders were the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: 2025 Bears. And look what happened to the 2025 Commanders. So, yeah,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I would love to see it happen because I think
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the hype train's out of control. So we'll see. But
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: under 9.5 is the pick from Micah with the Chicago Bears. Ashley,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you've got back-to-back selections to close out your roster. Yes,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: And I'm going to go with an under first. Now
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: I've got to remember what one I just had, though,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: because I just... Picked it, and then I looked away,
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, I have.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right. Thank you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know who I'm thanking. Just myself, I guess.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: I'm going to go to Atlanta, because it seems like
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: they are a little bit of... They're in a little
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: bit of trouble. With Penick still rehabbing, and then Tua,
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: not great. I'm going to take the under.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Six and a half.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: What a slap in the face of Michael Penick.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: Well, it's because I don't know when he's going to
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: be healthy.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: Not a true UW fan over there. Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Well, that's it. That's me.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: All right, last pick.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: And then I always like to have two overs and
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: two unders. I'm going to take the Bills over ten
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: and a half.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: All right, Buffalo, over ten and a half. I'm not
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: really sure what to think. I mean, how many years
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: in a row have we either picked the Bills to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: win the AFC or just really want the Bills to
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: win the AFC? That was a horrible end to their
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: season a year ago, and this is a big risk
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: they're taking at head coach with the head coaching change.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of them. I could
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: see them taking off and going 14-3. I could see
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: them actually falling off a little bit despite the greatness
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of Josh Allen. So, yeah, that one's one I wanted
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to stay away from, but I definitely do see the merits.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Micah, your last selection here in round number four.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: What are you going to go with?
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to decide between two train wrecks.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I've got to go with my heart on this one,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: and I've got to say the Jets are going to
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: be under five and a half wins.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: They are awful.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: They're just not good.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Not only are they not good, I think they want
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to be as bad as possible.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I do think that's true.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's the reason Geno Smith is their quarterback.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: this year and that they didn't do anything more. I
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: think they're trying to build up the rest of the team.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to try to get their quarterback in the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: draft of the future. Um, and how that plays out,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they don't really care record wise. So I think it's
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: a good pick. I think Cleveland's in the same boat, frankly,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: trying to build up the rest of their team, but
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: they're starting Deshaun Watson because they kind of want the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback to ruin the record this year. That's just my
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: feeling on it. So I think they're both going to
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: go under. And I think, again, we have once again
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: put on the air too smart of a listener, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it's pissing me off. All right, Anders, you are up next.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Your last selection. What's it going to be?
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I kind of alluded to it last round. I
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: know you mentioned it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: You drafted 16 Giants last night.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I'm taking I'm taking the other team that
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I drafted multiple people from and I'm taking the over
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: on Detroit with ten and a half. I agree with you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: I do think they are going to be one of
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: the best in the NFC this year. Aiden Hutchinson coming
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: back healthy is going to be huge for them. People
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: forget he missed almost the entirety of last year. That
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: defense is going to be a lot better. And I
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: just think that people are sleeping on them. They don't
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: realize how good they are offensively. They're going to put
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: up points unlike anybody else. And I know they're in
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: a tough division. I get it. But I think they're
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: going to be one of the best teams in the
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: NFC this year.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too. I'd honestly go, all right, Rams,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Seahawks at the top. And I think the Lions are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the third best team in the NFC.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And people are sleeping on them right now. All right,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: my last selection. This is the last selection of the draft.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Where did... Oh, yeah. I just think they're just... The
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: AFC South... I think the Colts are going to be
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: better this year. They were really good until Daniel Jones
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: got hurt a year ago. Yeah, they were on a roll. Yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: they were like the best team going in the first
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: four or five games of the season. We've already talked
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: about the Jaguars. I'm tempted to take the Texans over 10.5.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I know they've got the defense to do it. I
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: just don't know about C.J. Stroud. But I think that division,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it's not the NFC West, but it's the second best division, arguably,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League this year. So how is
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Tennessee under the underwhelming Robert Sala and Cam Ward that
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's on the verge of a breakthrough.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: How are they going to win more than six and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: a half games? Give me under on Tennessee six and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a half. I think they're once again going to be
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: vying for the top pick in the draft. Hell, we
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: beat them with our third string.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That's a good pick.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: In a preseason game.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I had them on my list.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Our third string was out playing their starters in a
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: preseason game for a quarter and a half, for goodness sake.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: All right, that's going to do it. Micah, how do
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you feel about your squad here?
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: You know, I feel solid. I'm excited to see what
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: happens and play the game and see I do have
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: to say, Chuck, it makes me laugh because I think
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: about last week and you were talking about college football.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: I know this is a tangent, but you're thinking about
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: college football and you're talking about Rutgers and they just
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: laid a big fat egg last week.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't say they were good.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: I just said they sucked and they sucked right away.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you mean. I did take a
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Rutgers player. Yeah, he was not a good pick. Micah, thanks, man.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: We appreciate it. We got your information, right, so that
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: we can call and taunt you if we need to?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, we got it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Okay. And if you do really well, we never met you.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: This never happened.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Yep, exactly. Okay.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Sounds good.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Micah, thanks, man. All right, there you go.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Our NFL draft preview, our win total over-unders draft is
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: in the books. Chuck, who got stuck with the number
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: one pick, Takes over 10.5 Seahawks, over 10.5 Philly, under
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: 7.5 the Commanders, under 6.5 Titans. Anders with over 9.5 Broncos,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: under 9.5 Patriots, under 7.5 Saints, over 10.5 Lions. Micah,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: our listener, over 8.5 Jaguars, over 9.5 Cowboys, under 9.5 Bears,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and under 5.5 Jets. And Ashley.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: With over 11.5 Rams, under 10.5 49ers, under 6.5 Falcons,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and over 10.5 Buffalo Bills. So there you go. Thank
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: you very much. Anders, thank you, sir, and we'll talk
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to you real soon.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you guys. All right.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Anders Hurst filling in here on the Green Jacket Draft
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft Preview. All right, coming up next, we do
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: have a status report on Seahawks Patriots, Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powell, Ashley Ryan with you. Rick Neuheisel joins us
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: at 9 o'clock this morning to talk some college football.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Our NFL preview ran a little bit late, so sorry
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: about that. We're running a little bit late here this morning,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: but we'll catch up. We've got the Seahawks-Patriots. The season
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: starts tomorrow. The rematch of the Super Bowl and a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: bit of a status report. The Seahawks, obviously, Nicky Manwari
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: not looking like he's going to play. And, man, it does...
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: with a hamstring not sounding good on the Ty Okada
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: front either from Greg Bell here this morning. So DeAnthony
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Bell's going to have to play a really big role
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in this game and just overall some secondary concerns. Let's
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: face it, some secondary concerns. And I'm not talking about
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: secondary tertiary. I'm talking about concerns within the defensive secondary
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that they're going to take into a game with Drake May,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: who most people believe in, even if Andrews Hurst doesn't.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: And A.J. Brown as a wide receiver one with his
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: brand new team for the very first time. It's not
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: exactly the area where you want to have concerns, but
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that's the way the season is going to start. Of course,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: we've got the master defensive mind that I'm sure will
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: come up with an expert game plan. And Greg Bell says,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you know what? Maybe you don't even have to worry
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: about your secondary being vulnerable if the guys up front
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: do their job.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I would envision the plan of attack is to overwhelm
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the Patriots' offensive line and just smother Drake May like
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: they did in the Super Bowl. Because I don't think
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Drake May is going to be able to drive the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: ball down the field. I didn't think it in February
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: in Santa Clara, and I don't think it in September
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: in Seattle, that Drake May is going to be able
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: to engineer multiple touchdown drives on this defense. I think blitzing,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I think DeMarcus Lawrence and Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: are huge parts of this game plan. Don't even let
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: May have an opportunity to get the ball outside to
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Brown down the field like he'd want to because he's
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: going to be swarmed. They're going to test this new
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Patriots line. The Patriots saw the Super Bowl and said,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: we've got to fix their offensive line. They drafted. They
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: made moves there to change. They're going to test how
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: those moves have paid off for them because that's, to me,
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: the key to the game plan is just come after
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: May and pressure and pressure and pressure him.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not great news for anybody that drafted Drake
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: May in their fantasy draft last night.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I didn't draft him, did you?
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Mom.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Like I said, for a lot of people who drafted
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Drake May, they probably don't want to hear that report.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to be bad tomorrow. I do.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I actually think our offense is going to be bad tomorrow.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah.
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: You said last week, even before you drafted Drake May,
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: so it doesn't come across like you're trying to make
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: an excuse of any sort.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: You said this last week. You think it's going to
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: be sloppy.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I said it yesterday, too. I think 17-9 is my prediction.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Seahawks over the Patriots. I think both offenses are going
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to struggle tomorrow. We saw it in college football over
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Look at how long it took. Some offenses
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: took Notre Dame a half to get going. It took
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: UW three-quarters to get going. Oregon never did get going.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: That's from the college front. And from the National Football
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: League perspective, I realize that they're pros, but you see
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: it every opening week. It just takes a little while.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it takes six weeks to get going. Sometimes it
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: takes a couple drives. But I think both offenses that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: didn't really play at all in the preseason are going
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to have a hard time with timing, at least right
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: off the bat, like immediately off the bat. And then
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you tack on to it, the Patriots have a really
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: good defense, and we know that the Seahawks have a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: great defense. So I, yes. I drafted Drake May last night.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: It just was eighth round and seemed too good to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: pass up. At that point in the draft, considering what
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: kind of outlook some people have for him, to be
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: very special this year. But I don't think it's going
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: to happen. I don't want to start him. I don't
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: want to go to the Seahawks game.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: And then be cheering for Drake May or mad if
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: he doesn't do well.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Cheering for Drake May to get thwarted? Yeah, that's not
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: exactly how I want to start my fantasy football season,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: but I might not have a choice. So I do
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: expect it to be sloppy, and I do expect the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: front seven for the Seahawks to be pretty dominant tomorrow.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hope that is the way— I mean,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: that's the way I expect it to go as well.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So I would hope that that's what we're going to see.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: But at the same time, I don't have a lot
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: of high expectations for game one because you look at
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: what happened last year with the Seahawks season and game
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: one did not go at all how we wanted and
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: the season turned out pretty well. So I do think
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: there's some of that rust and things like you're talking
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: about that they've got to get over and they've got
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: to get through. And so if the Seahawks go out
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: and the defense does a great job and the offense doesn't, okay.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: We move on to the next one. Just get the win.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I don't care how pretty it is.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And then it will be the same exact
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: motto at the end of most of the NFL games
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that you heard from all of the college football coaches
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that won. I think you'll hear the exact same thing
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: out of Mike McDonald's mouth. Well, congratulations, coach, on your
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: opening day win. How'd you feel about your team first
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: time looking at them? We got a lot to clean up.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: But credit to those guys in the locker room. We
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: weren't at our best, but we got to win against
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: a really good football team.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: That's going to be the speech that he gives after
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the game, in my opinion. And I think about, what,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: 15 other head coaches this weekend.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm all right with that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are going to give after week number one. All right,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: coming up next, we'll talk a little college football. Do
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the Huskies already have a running back problem? Do they
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: have enough to go around? Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. All right,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Rick Dewey is going to join us here at the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: top of the hour as we talk some college football.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: We'll get our taco time pick of the week. I
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: didn't get one last week. And you know that there
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: were listeners that are like, what about the taco time
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: pick of the week?
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Oh, I know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: They were confused.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Lost a little.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean, we talked about taco time, delicious
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: taco time. As a matter of fact, just talking about it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he hadn't watched anybody play yet. I think
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: that's almost unfair to get a taco time pick of
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the week until he at least gets a game under
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: his belt. So we'll make sure that we deliver on
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: that here today at 9 o'clock. And all sorts of
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: things to discuss with Coach Neuheisel on the show, including
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the Apple Cup, which was costly for the Huskies. They
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: won the game, but here you're starting the season and
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: can't wait to kind of figure out exactly who's going
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: to get the carries this year. Freshman Quade Carr wins
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the job over Jaden Lamar, who returns home to where
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: he was a star in high school after a huge
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: mistake of going to Oregon. He righted it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: And he comes back. And if nothing else, they're going
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to give you this sort of lightning thunder sort of
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: duo that you have because Carr is like lean and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: quick and explosive. And then Lamar's this little powder keg,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: just a powerful guy. young man, and Carr leaves early
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: with an injury, does not return. Lamar does fine, scores
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the touchdown, the 11-yard run. But then we saw the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: gruesome injury that he suffered at the end of the game.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And even if it was just a, you know, even
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: if it felt at the time like, okay, I think
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: it's okay, it wasn't okay. So he's going to miss
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: some time. car's going to miss some time. And here
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you are, Ashley, in an area that I don't know
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: if was really considered some great strength for Jed Fish
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and the dogs coming into this year. I mean, when
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: you're starting a freshman in the very first game, I mean,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: there's already some questions about that. And now as you
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: get ready for Utah State, you're already down your first
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and second string running back. Not good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: No, it's not good.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, I suppose, yeah, the one benefit is that
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: you're playing teams that you should win by quite a
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: bit and you're going to get these younger guys with
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: less experience, some much needed experience pretty quickly. But you
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: got to hope that at least Lamar is back soon.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, it sounds like with Carr having the surgery,
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: that's going to be even longer, but.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: It always sounds bad.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: I don't want to minimize an injury because it looked
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: like he dislocated his elbow or his shoulder or a
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: combination and it did not look good, but you want
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: to hope that's all there was.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: And there was no other damage. and that he could
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: be back sooner rather than later.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you can. I guess they're not being
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: specific on what it was, or at least I haven't
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: seen it. It looked like an elbow injury. It looked
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: gruesome at the time. And even if you put that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: back into place, there's ligament damage that is done there.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: And he does have to hold a football with that arm.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: So I think that he'll be back sooner than Carr,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: but they're both going to be out. For a while.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the report is they're going to miss extended
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: time with injuries. Jed Fish said he feels good about
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the depth, saying we've got seven. I mean, this isn't
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: the National Football League where you've got some hard 53-man roster.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Got seven guys to choose from. Next man up sort
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: of mentality. Trey Cooley seems to be that next guy
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: up for them. And Ashley's right. You do have a
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: couple of games against, let's face it, your cupcake opponents
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: that you put on the schedule this year, that being
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: the theory. And I don't know if Lamar or Carr
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: have any shot at getting back by the time you
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: start playing Big Ten games, but at least Cooley can
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: start getting into a rhythm and whoever else might step up.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Of course, they've got the Sano kid, too, who is
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: a monster. It's like the mountain out there. And like
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the last one, not the first actor that played the mountain,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the skinny tall guy. I'm talking about Magnus Vermognason or
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: whatever his name is. Thor Bjornsonsonsterf. whatever his name was.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, Sano just stands out like a Ferris wheel
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: in a cornfield when he runs across the field. So
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: we might see him a little bit, even though he's young.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: So yes, already an issue at the running back position.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if any Husky fan can feel great
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: about that position. I don't know if they felt great
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: about it coming into the year. And now to already
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: be two men down, obviously it's a concern. So somebody's
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: got to step up. Yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Bottom line.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Who's it going to be? That's the question.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Well, Cooley's going to get the first shot. And then
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Brian Bonner is another one as a freshman who they
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: were raving about. Heard a few of the old timers,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: if you will, that were standing on the sidelines at
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Huskies camp. Really liked what they saw out of Brian Bonner.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: But again, you're talking about a freshman. Um, that's, you know,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to be asking to step in. Carr was too,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: but at least he was a second year, uh, freshman. So, um,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: senior Trey Cooley will get the first shot, but freshman
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Brian Bonner might be the more talented of the two.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: And we're going to test them both out, it sounds like,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: over the course of the next couple of weeks.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, Rick Neuheisel is going to join us.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about the college football weekend that was. Get
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on that Michigan ending. And, of course, we're
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: going to preview Texas versus Ohio State. And there is
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: no way I'm not going to ask him about the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Apple Cup. So calm down. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
