- 1:50Speaker 2: with a lot of good ideas, Greg, but I thought
- 1:51Speaker 2: I had one last year. It worked so well. We're
- 1:53Speaker 2: going to do it again. Can we bring our friend
- 1:55Speaker 2: Hugh Millen in for a conversation today? How does that sound?

- 2:10Speaker 4: you know, yeah.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Just tip your server, try the vele have some fun. Okay, Uh,
- 2:15Speaker 3: here's what we're gonna do.
- 2:16Speaker 2: We're gonna spend and I know it's gonna take We'll
- 2:18Speaker 2: spend some time on this today. We're gonna talk just
- 2:21Speaker 2: kind of defense and offense, and what we kind of liked.
- 2:23Speaker 2: What I like doing is let Hugh kind of take
- 2:25Speaker 2: over sometimes and he and Greg talk and then I
- 2:27Speaker 2: just sit back and you me all the listeners. We
- 2:29Speaker 2: learned something in general terms. We're gonna do part of
- 2:32Speaker 2: a defense and then part of it offense, and Hugh
- 2:34Speaker 2: all kind of toss it to you with what you
- 2:36Speaker 2: want to go with with with Greg. But I'll just
- 2:38Speaker 2: say this that you told us you when Mike McDonald
- 2:41Speaker 2: was hired you he thought he was maybe the best
- 2:43Speaker 2: defensive mind or one of the best defensive minds you've
- 2:45Speaker 2: seen in a while. H We're really seeing that come
- 2:48Speaker 2: to fruition this season. To you, I'll turn it over
- 2:50Speaker 2: to you and Greg your thoughts on the defense so
- 2:52Speaker 2: far five game or seven games into the season.
- 2:54Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to get Greg's take because he's you know,
- 2:57Speaker 6: he looks at all thirty two teams, so he can
- 2:59Speaker 6: be in many ways more objective than the rest of us.
- 3:01Speaker 6: But but Greg, let's just start with the rush defense.
- 3:04Speaker 6: I think there's five parts of football. How you pass
- 3:08Speaker 6: the ball, how you run it, how you defend the pass,
- 3:10Speaker 6: how you defend the run, and then special teams I
- 3:12Speaker 6: think are all about a fifth and I think that
- 3:14Speaker 6: the if I'm right on that, my contention would be
- 3:18Speaker 6: the rush defense is the best component of Seattle's football team.
- 3:24Speaker 6: They're number one in the NFL in rushing yards per
- 3:27Speaker 6: game around allowed it at just under ninety six or
- 3:31Speaker 6: excuse me, seventy six, seventy six rushing yards per tempt
- 3:34Speaker 6: their second. But in rush EPA, there's expected points that's
- 3:39Speaker 6: emerging as a high correlation statistic. They're by far number
- 3:43Speaker 6: one in the NFL. Just kind of what's your take
- 3:46Speaker 6: when you watch the tape about how they stop the run.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Well, actually, I really love the way certain players have
- 3:55Speaker 4: really developed. I mean, to me, the one player that
- 3:59Speaker 4: really stands out guys is Byron Murphy. You know, he
- 4:03Speaker 4: was the number one pick last year, the second defensive
- 4:05Speaker 4: player chosen in the draft. Struggled in his rookie season
- 4:08Speaker 4: with injuries, you know, couldn't play every single week. And
- 4:12Speaker 4: just when I watched him now on film taking on
- 4:15Speaker 4: double teams. I mean, there was a play this week
- 4:17Speaker 4: and it just when I noticed it, I actually called
- 4:20Speaker 4: in some of the guys from my matchup show just
- 4:22Speaker 4: because the way he was able just to hold his
- 4:25Speaker 4: ground and therefore maintain his gap integrity when he was
- 4:29Speaker 4: being double team by probably seven hundred pounds of offensive line,
- 4:34Speaker 4: I thought was just incredible. And I think you're seeing
- 4:37Speaker 4: all the traits that he brings to the table, because
- 4:40Speaker 4: I obviously evaluated him in detail coming out of Texas
- 4:43Speaker 4: probably for two years, and I think he's been a
- 4:46Speaker 4: major force we know about Williams. Williams is just a
- 4:50Speaker 4: very versatile player. You know, he can line up at
- 4:52Speaker 4: D n he can line up at D tackle. And
- 4:55Speaker 4: clearly they made the change at linebacker. What was that
- 4:57Speaker 4: about three weeks ago, where now Drake Thomas is now
- 5:00Speaker 4: now the starter and instead of Night And I think
- 5:04Speaker 4: you're dealing with a guy that's just got more quickness
- 5:06Speaker 4: to him, or athleticism to him. I think he has
- 5:09Speaker 4: a quicker trigger. So I think that these are the
- 5:12Speaker 4: things that stand out to me. You, I'm sure there's
- 5:14Speaker 4: other things that have stood out to you as well.
- 5:16Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to get your take on.
- 5:19Speaker 6: Let's talk about Byron Murphy there for a second, because
- 5:22Speaker 6: you know, here's a guy that at Texas was primarily
- 5:25Speaker 6: a three tech, right he played nose tackle, but primarily
- 5:30Speaker 6: he was a three tech. But at Seattle, Leonard Williams
- 5:32Speaker 6: is your three tech, right, So so Byron Murphy having
- 5:35Speaker 6: to play the shade the one tech you know, guys
- 5:38Speaker 6: in the a gap between the center and the guard
- 5:40Speaker 6: and really over the center shoulder that that's not maybe
- 5:44Speaker 6: his ideal spot. But when I watch how the Seahawks
- 5:49Speaker 6: build a wall, you know, it's it's like they play
- 5:52Speaker 6: a gap and a half. Greg, you know the idea
- 5:55Speaker 6: of a single gap, Okay, we just want to penetrate
- 5:58Speaker 6: and get up in the and be disruptive, and then
- 6:00Speaker 6: there's the two gap all right, let's just play center
- 6:02Speaker 6: cut on the offensive lineman be able to react to
- 6:05Speaker 6: either gap.
- 6:06Speaker 5: The Seahawks plait. They build that wall by playing a
- 6:09Speaker 5: gap and a half.
- 6:10Speaker 6: They get into the gap, but they main contact with
- 6:14Speaker 6: the offensive lineman and they're in a position to still
- 6:18Speaker 6: throw the lineman and get into the other gap. It
- 6:21Speaker 6: takes a lot of strength to do that, but when
- 6:23Speaker 6: you have everybody doing it, man that they are really
- 6:26Speaker 6: building the wall, forcing running backs to spill. Talk about
- 6:30Speaker 6: Murphy in that regard, and then just the the overall
- 6:33Speaker 6: scheme that you see as it compares to the thirty
- 6:35Speaker 6: one other teams and how they defend the run.
- 6:38Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know if schemematically
- 6:40Speaker 4: they're they're you know, there's not as you know, there's
- 6:43Speaker 4: not one hundred ways to play your defensive front. But
- 6:46Speaker 4: that gap and a half is a very common way
- 6:48Speaker 4: teams want to play now, just because you know, in
- 6:52Speaker 4: a sense it requires one less player to be able
- 6:55Speaker 4: to cover all the gaps, and that allows you to
- 6:57Speaker 4: do more with your pass defense, and particularly the way
- 7:00Speaker 4: they play pass defense, which I think we need to
- 7:02Speaker 4: talk about in detail as well, because what Mike McDonald
- 7:06Speaker 4: does there I find phenomenal. But anyway, you know, Murphy,
- 7:10Speaker 4: even though he's not a pure three technique, he's still
- 7:12Speaker 4: lining up essentially in a gap, and that's the way
- 7:15Speaker 4: he plays best because he has great initial quickness off
- 7:18Speaker 4: the ball. So even if he's not just penetrating a gap,
- 7:22Speaker 4: he at least has explosion off the ball and can
- 7:26Speaker 4: use because he's so low cut to the ground, with
- 7:29Speaker 4: such a low center of gravity, he can still be
- 7:31Speaker 4: explosive and use that strength and be a factor. So,
- 7:36Speaker 4: you know, I think he to me, I guess I
- 7:39Speaker 4: would say, you know, based on my study, and you
- 7:41Speaker 4: might go through it a little more in detail, you
- 7:44Speaker 4: but in my study, I think that he's a major
- 7:47Speaker 4: difference from a year ago in what they run defense
- 7:50Speaker 4: is this year because he's now playing at a really
- 7:52Speaker 4: high level.
- 7:53Speaker 6: Yeah, I think his recognition, I think his strength. I
- 7:55Speaker 6: think he's adopted to the McDonald the gap and a half,
- 7:58Speaker 6: the idea that he's he's more in the middle of
- 8:00Speaker 6: the defense. Let's shift you you touch on the pass defense.
- 8:06Speaker 6: Touch on some statistics opponent attempts. The Seahawks are thirty,
- 8:09Speaker 6: so they're seeing a lot of pass attempts, but passing
- 8:14Speaker 6: yards per attempt, the Sea Owks are fifth best in
- 8:18Speaker 6: the league. Yards per completion their third best, So there's
- 8:21Speaker 6: things that are showing up. And then also obviously this
- 8:24Speaker 6: relates to pass defense. They're number one in hurries at
- 8:28Speaker 6: sixteen point four pressure percentage they're number four, So a
- 8:33Speaker 6: lot of good things happening in the past defense. What
- 8:37Speaker 6: do you see that catches your eye? And Greg Cosel's
- 8:41Speaker 6: with us comparing Seattle to the other thirty one.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Teams, well, a couple of things really stand out to me.
- 8:46Speaker 4: First of all, this team plays Nickel at a higher
- 8:49Speaker 4: percentage than any team in the league. And obviously with
- 8:52Speaker 4: Nick m and wary Back, who I thought was the
- 8:53Speaker 4: best safety prospect in the draft, he is an incredibly
- 8:57Speaker 4: versatile player. And I don't know if Mike McDonald's sees
- 9:00Speaker 4: him similarly to Kyle Hamilton, who he had in Baltimore,
- 9:03Speaker 4: but I see him that way, and my guess is
- 9:05Speaker 4: that the coach does somewhat as well. The other thing
- 9:09Speaker 4: I would say is what's really stood out is the
- 9:11Speaker 4: way they made a change on the back end. Josh
- 9:14Speaker 4: job is now clearly the boundary corner. He was not
- 9:17Speaker 4: the boundary corner a year ago when he was essentially
- 9:19Speaker 4: their nickel who played on the outside, and now he's
- 9:22Speaker 4: seen as their best outside corner, and I think he's
- 9:25Speaker 4: played that way and the other thing that really stands
- 9:27Speaker 4: out to me, and this is what I love about
- 9:29Speaker 4: watching tape and about seeing the way guys coach. And
- 9:32Speaker 4: it's why sometimes I wish I just had the batphone
- 9:35Speaker 4: and can call up the coach while I'm watching tape.
- 9:38Speaker 4: You know, because you go back two weeks you and
- 9:39Speaker 4: they played Jacksonville, okay, and in that game they rarely
- 9:43Speaker 4: ever blitzed. Okay, I think they rushed five or more
- 9:46Speaker 4: on five of Lawrence's dropbacks, and they had an unbelievable
- 9:50Speaker 4: four man d line pass rush with a very high
- 9:52Speaker 4: pressure rate, as you remember. But then this week they
- 9:55Speaker 4: played the Houston Texans and they amp up the pressure.
- 9:59Speaker 4: This was a a big pressure week in terms of
- 10:01Speaker 4: blitz And see, to me, I always love and not
- 10:05Speaker 4: that Mike McDonald needs me to say, you know, whether
- 10:08Speaker 4: he's good or bad at something. Believe me, you know
- 10:10Speaker 4: there's a lot more than I do. But I love
- 10:12Speaker 4: that he's not beholden to just one way of playing
- 10:15Speaker 4: every week like this, is what we do. No matter
- 10:18Speaker 4: what you know, he changes up what he does based
- 10:21Speaker 4: on his sense of the opponent. He can come up
- 10:23Speaker 4: with different tactics and different schematics. And I just think,
- 10:26Speaker 4: to me, that's just a sign of really good coaching.
- 10:29Speaker 6: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And to put some numbers
- 10:32Speaker 6: to that five man rushes. Coming into the game, Mike
- 10:35Speaker 6: McDonald had had just averaged five and a half per
- 10:39Speaker 6: game against Houston, thirteen thirteen dropbacks, produced two sacks on
- 10:45Speaker 6: those five man rushes and CJ. Strod was seven eleven
- 10:48Speaker 6: sixty two yards and a seventy nine sub eighty passer
- 10:52Speaker 6: rating and then the six man rush greg All season,
- 10:57Speaker 6: Mike McDonald only four six man runs rushes, two against Arizona,
- 11:01Speaker 6: two against New Orleans.
- 11:02Speaker 5: Against Houston he had.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Five stroud goes, one for five for five yards and
- 11:07Speaker 6: an interception and a rating of zero, which is actually
- 11:11Speaker 6: worse than if you just threw the ball on the
- 11:13Speaker 6: ground because you get a thirty nine because you didn't
- 11:15Speaker 6: throw an interception. So there's some numbers to that. What
- 11:19Speaker 6: about the personnel that might have impressed you in that
- 11:23Speaker 6: you mentioned Emon Worry, Let's touch on that because because
- 11:28Speaker 6: we've only seen five plays with Seattle, with Emon Worry
- 11:32Speaker 6: and with Witherspoon both healthy.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Witherspoon has been the nickel.
- 11:36Speaker 6: Now you project Emon Worry to be the nickel, you know,
- 11:40Speaker 6: we're gonna see probably Spoon more outside or more dime like, like, like.
- 11:44Speaker 7: What are you going to be?
- 11:44Speaker 4: A really interesting question, right And because Emmont Worry to me,
- 11:48Speaker 4: I mean, is that kind of player? I mean, because
- 11:51Speaker 4: obviously Love's going to be back, Bryant's a solid safety.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Just a quick aside. I also think it's a sign
- 11:59Speaker 4: a really good coach when you put your backups in
- 12:01Speaker 4: like Okada and he plays well for a couple of weeks,
- 12:04Speaker 4: you know, I think that's a good sign of how
- 12:05Speaker 4: you prepare guys and how they when they get the opportunity,
- 12:08Speaker 4: they play well. But just getting back to the original point,
- 12:12Speaker 4: I'm really curious to see what they do when Witherspoon
- 12:15Speaker 4: is back, because obviously he's been the slot corner when
- 12:17Speaker 4: they go Nickel and em and Worry, that's kind of
- 12:20Speaker 4: what he is. I mean, he's sort of that that
- 12:22Speaker 4: kind of movable chess piece on the board, and I
- 12:26Speaker 4: think he's really good at that. So the question becomes.
- 12:30Speaker 4: You know, I don't know what they I know there's
- 12:31Speaker 4: probably been a lot of talk on I'm not out there.
- 12:33Speaker 4: You know, Ian, you could probably be addressed a far
- 12:36Speaker 4: better than I. I don't know if there's talk about,
- 12:38Speaker 4: you know, woln possibly being traded because I think job
- 12:41Speaker 4: has clearly been their number one corner for most of
- 12:45Speaker 4: their season. And yeah, you know, does Witherspoon stay on
- 12:48Speaker 4: the outside? I personally would not like to see him
- 12:50Speaker 4: and or come off the field. I don't know what
- 12:52Speaker 4: the coaching staff thinks, but I think he's such a
- 12:54Speaker 4: unique player that can do multiple things for you. I
- 12:58Speaker 4: don't think you want him playing twenty snaps again.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Yeah, just I'll jump in, by the way, if you're listen,
- 13:02Speaker 2: just tuning in right now, that's Greg Cosel. You know
- 13:04Speaker 2: Greg on Fridays at this time. That's Hugh Millen. He's
- 13:07Speaker 2: he's with us today. We did this last year in
- 13:08Speaker 2: the Seahawk bye week. And trust me, I'm just getting
- 13:11Speaker 2: the hell out of the way because I love to
- 13:12Speaker 2: listen to these two guys talk football.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Man.
- 13:13Speaker 2: This is awesome for me to answer question Greg. I
- 13:15Speaker 2: think there has been that conversation out there, you know,
- 13:18Speaker 2: We've talked about it amongst the media out there at
- 13:20Speaker 2: the facility and so forth. They I think what they
- 13:22Speaker 2: saw in Hugh you know this as well as I do.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Like I think what they saw when all of a
- 13:26Speaker 2: sudden they lost a couple of guys when Wollan was
- 13:29Speaker 2: out and they're down to the Pritchett world and stuff
- 13:31Speaker 2: like that, it got a little dicey, and so I'm
- 13:34Speaker 2: not sure. I think depth at corner might be something
- 13:36Speaker 2: that they cherish more than a fourth or fifth or
- 13:38Speaker 2: sixth round draft pick.
- 13:40Speaker 6: Yeah, Greg, you know, I think Wolan had a pretty
- 13:42Speaker 6: good game. I thought against Houston. I think this ceiling
- 13:45Speaker 6: is high, his floor is low. The gap between, you know,
- 13:48Speaker 6: I think there's an inconsistency issue. But you know, there's
- 13:52Speaker 6: not a lot of guys walking around in a mall
- 13:55Speaker 6: that can step on an NFL field and shadow you know,
- 13:58Speaker 6: NFL wide receivers. I think they may be. You know,
- 14:01Speaker 6: I don't think that Woolan is McDonald's style. I don't
- 14:04Speaker 6: think he's you know, I don't think he's gritty and
- 14:07Speaker 6: tough the way he'd like him. But he's a hell
- 14:09Speaker 6: of an athlete, you know. I just I think You're
- 14:14Speaker 6: right to be curious about that, but I want to
- 14:16Speaker 6: hit you up back on a follow up on em
- 14:19Speaker 6: and Warriy, because you said he was your favorite safety
- 14:21Speaker 6: coming out Kyle Hamilton, just as a reminder, the first
- 14:25Speaker 6: team All Pro safety for the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously that
- 14:31Speaker 6: that Mike McDonald coach in Baltimore. You had an expectation
- 14:35Speaker 6: when you watch on his tape at South Carolina. Now
- 14:38Speaker 6: you're seeing him on the field for a few weeks
- 14:40Speaker 6: he'd been injured. Let's let's really get granule on Nick
- 14:44Speaker 6: Amm and Worriy. What you see, how he differs from
- 14:48Speaker 6: Kyle Hamilton, how he may be like or unlike what
- 14:51Speaker 6: you expected when you watch the tape coming out of college.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Well, the one thing he's not doing in Seattle, which
- 14:57Speaker 4: he did at South Carolina was playing on the back end,
- 15:00Speaker 4: which I think he's capable of as well. But he's
- 15:02Speaker 4: mostly been used as a you know, depending on what
- 15:05Speaker 4: the offensive formation is that down in distance the field location,
- 15:09Speaker 4: he's either been in the box, he's been an overhang
- 15:11Speaker 4: player just outside the box, or he's lined up over
- 15:14Speaker 4: the slot receiver. So he's essentially lined up in those
- 15:18Speaker 4: three areas they move him around a bit. You know,
- 15:21Speaker 4: I guess it's funny talking about what happens when Witherspoon
- 15:23Speaker 4: comes back. It raises the question. You know, they've not
- 15:27Speaker 4: been a dime defense in pure pass situations. They've only
- 15:30Speaker 4: played sixteen snaps of dime all season long. They're a
- 15:34Speaker 4: high high percentage nickel defense at about eighty eight percent.
- 15:37Speaker 4: The question, you is, when Witherspoon comes back, do they
- 15:41Speaker 4: perhaps become more of a dime defense and play You know,
- 15:45Speaker 4: Jones obviously would be the linebacker that would stay on
- 15:47Speaker 4: the field because he's kind of a do it all
- 15:49Speaker 4: guy as well. But maybe that's the answer.
- 15:53Speaker 7: I don't know. Again, that's up to the coach.
- 15:55Speaker 4: But you know, like I said, I don't feel and
- 15:58Speaker 4: Witherspoon is a really good play two who brings a swagger,
- 16:01Speaker 4: a toughness and competitiveness to your defense, and you want
- 16:04Speaker 4: him out there. He's just a good football player. But
- 16:06Speaker 4: I just don't believe you want to take m and
- 16:08Speaker 4: Worry off the field for meaningful snaps.
- 16:11Speaker 6: No doubt, Greg Cosel with us and Greg, I think
- 16:13Speaker 6: Emon Warry is just a star in the making, just
- 16:15Speaker 6: a big, beautiful athlete, very fluid, the acceleration in that
- 16:20Speaker 6: short area, you know, eight ten, twelve yards. His tackling
- 16:24Speaker 6: has been a lead. I think his recognition is getting
- 16:27Speaker 6: better and better. You saw that deflected play where he
- 16:29Speaker 6: was the curl defender on the backside.
- 16:31Speaker 5: He jumps with his length, has recognition.
- 16:34Speaker 6: He hits a skid route coming from the opposite side
- 16:37Speaker 6: on a big pass breakup.
- 16:39Speaker 3: I love that.
- 16:40Speaker 6: Let's close on the defense with a final thought of
- 16:43Speaker 6: concern that I have and it's reflected in these numbers
- 16:47Speaker 6: the pressure rate for the Seahawks. This is their defense
- 16:50Speaker 6: against quarterback. They're number two in the NFL in quarters one, two,
- 16:55Speaker 6: and three. However, in quarter number four twenty second the
- 17:01Speaker 6: Houston Houston Texans, they had fourteen drives in the game.
- 17:06Speaker 6: Their longest two drives were the last two drives against
- 17:09Speaker 6: Tampa Bay three drives of seventy plus yards all in
- 17:13Speaker 6: the second half. Against Arizona two touchdown drives of seventy
- 17:18Speaker 6: three and fifty seven yards in the fourth quarter, the
- 17:20Speaker 6: fourth down collapsing in the forty nine ers. That they
- 17:23Speaker 6: have consistently been a very sub average defense, you know,
- 17:29Speaker 6: particularly in past defense in the fourth quarter. What do
- 17:33Speaker 6: you see in terms of those pressures. I think maybe
- 17:36Speaker 6: Derek Hall just to get the rotation, you know, maybe
- 17:38Speaker 6: missing one guy because maybe they're getting gas because they
- 17:41Speaker 6: play at such a high energy before you see you
- 17:44Speaker 6: see the tape, you see a lot of teams.
- 17:46Speaker 5: What are you seeing in that regard?
- 17:48Speaker 4: What I would say is this. I would say that
- 17:51Speaker 4: for the most part, none of their edge rushers and
- 17:53Speaker 4: I don't think they're bad players you by any means.
- 17:56Speaker 4: It's not as if they're bad players. But I don't
- 17:58Speaker 4: think they have that one guy.
- 18:00Speaker 8: You know.
- 18:00Speaker 4: I go back to Bill Walsh talking about, you know,
- 18:03Speaker 4: the key to defense is pass rush in the fourth quarter,
- 18:06Speaker 4: and you just hit on a really important point. I
- 18:08Speaker 4: don't think they have that one guy that you necessarily
- 18:12Speaker 4: have to account for as an offense where you say, hey,
- 18:14Speaker 4: we better block him. It might mean we have to
- 18:17Speaker 4: chip him, we might have to double team him. I
- 18:18Speaker 4: don't think they have that one guy on the edge
- 18:21Speaker 4: that has stepped forward at this point to be that
- 18:23Speaker 4: guy that you have to deal with in that way.
- 18:26Speaker 4: So I think there's some guys that have some good traits.
- 18:29Speaker 4: And Derek Hall has been out and I don't know
- 18:32Speaker 4: if he can develop into that guy. But you know,
- 18:35Speaker 4: I think up to this point, Nuosu and and Mafi
- 18:39Speaker 4: have not necessarily shown that they're that guy. They're not
- 18:43Speaker 4: bad players, but I don't think they've shown that they're
- 18:45Speaker 4: the guy you have to account for by it, you know,
- 18:48Speaker 4: from a defensive perspective. Excuse me, from an offensive perspective.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed.
- 18:52Speaker 6: And we spend a lot of time in the summer
- 18:54Speaker 6: talking about, hey, they don't have that you know, let's
- 18:56Speaker 6: use a baseball term aircraft carry in the middle of
- 18:58Speaker 6: the lineup at defense of end. But but I thought,
- 19:01Speaker 6: you know, getting back to McDonald's coaching acumen, coming off
- 19:05Speaker 6: of that brutal game against UH against Tampa Bay. I mean,
- 19:10Speaker 6: it's like their defense, you know, every other game they
- 19:14Speaker 6: look like Megan Fox. And they had one week where
- 19:16Speaker 6: they looked like Rosie O'Donnell. You you know, so there's
- 19:19Speaker 6: a lot of things I have not been able to.
- 19:22Speaker 7: U.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, hey, just want to keep make sure
- 19:25Speaker 5: that you're paying attention.
- 19:26Speaker 6: But he got me, get right, But but just always
- 19:31Speaker 6: looks like Megan Fox, by the way.
- 19:33Speaker 5: But yes, but but the.
- 19:36Speaker 6: Uh, let's let's talk about the the scheme adjustments we
- 19:41Speaker 6: talked about. There was a lot more pressure against the
- 19:43Speaker 6: Texans the week before against Jacksonville, seven sacks against Trevor Lawrence,
- 19:47Speaker 6: a lot of stunts, and I thought DeMarcus Lawrence, as
- 19:50Speaker 6: we're talking about inns, that was like the fastest I'd
- 19:53Speaker 6: seen him on tape in a long time. He looked like,
- 19:55Speaker 6: I don't know, I said, I don't know if he's
- 19:57Speaker 6: playing in front of his home, you know, his high school,
- 19:59Speaker 6: hometown crowd or whatever it was. So I thought all
- 20:02Speaker 6: those stunts, the outside stunts, the inside stunts, they schemed
- 20:06Speaker 6: up to get Mike McDonald should say, schemed up to
- 20:08Speaker 6: get a lot of sacks there. And that's where the
- 20:11Speaker 6: pass rush really came alive a lot due to just
- 20:14Speaker 6: the scheming.
- 20:16Speaker 4: And I think that's the critical piece. I thought they
- 20:18Speaker 4: had a high volume stunt game versus the Texans, and
- 20:21Speaker 4: we'll see if they continue to do that. And then
- 20:23Speaker 4: I think it's a matter of pressure scheming up. I mean,
- 20:26Speaker 4: you talk about the fourth quarter again. Obviously there is
- 20:29Speaker 4: a delineation point between third and fourth quarter, but look
- 20:32Speaker 4: what they did on third and ten with the Okada sack.
- 20:34Speaker 4: The late in the third quarter of this past week,
- 20:36Speaker 4: it was a six man front, it became a five
- 20:38Speaker 4: man overload pressure. Obviously, the way they chose to the
- 20:42Speaker 4: way the Texans chose to pass protect, Okata ended up
- 20:46Speaker 4: being a free hitter because of the way, you know,
- 20:48Speaker 4: the overload concept. So the question is do you start
- 20:51Speaker 4: doing more of those things? Do you start trying to
- 20:53Speaker 4: create more overload pressure concepts understanding how teams pass protect?
- 20:58Speaker 3: All right, we got to jump in here real quick
- 21:00Speaker 3: and take you know what we gotta do. We're gonna
- 21:02Speaker 3: do this.
- 21:02Speaker 2: We're gonna carry this thing over to Monday because we
- 21:04Speaker 2: got to talk about the offense. All right, We're gonna
- 21:06Speaker 2: carry this thing over to Monday. So here's the deal.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Hugh was on your segment today, Greg, Greg, you're gonna
- 21:12Speaker 2: be in Hughes segment on Monday on Hardcore Football.
- 21:14Speaker 3: As that sound okay?
- 21:16Speaker 4: Don's okay to me?
- 21:17Speaker 3: All right?
- 21:18Speaker 2: That might have been the best segment of radio ever
- 21:19Speaker 2: on my show because I think I spoke a grand
- 21:22Speaker 2: total of a minute and a half, which people are
- 21:24Speaker 2: saying that can you just do that every day from
- 21:26Speaker 2: one to three e and that'd be great. I don't
- 21:28Speaker 2: think these guys are gonna do that every day we'll
- 21:29Speaker 2: take a break, we'll come back. Danie O'Neil is gonna
- 21:31Speaker 2: join us next. We're gonna talk on Monday during hardcore football,
- 21:35Speaker 2: just like this, Well not we Greg and who you
- 21:38Speaker 2: are about the offense that's coming up on Monday at
- 21:40Speaker 2: two o'clock.
- 21:41Speaker 3: In the meantime, Danie O'Neil coming up next nine three
- 21:42Speaker 3: point three KTERFM.
- 21:54Speaker 1: It's done now for Danny O'Neill of the Dang Apostrophe.
- 21:58Speaker 1: The best settle sports writing and you'll get out of
- 22:00Speaker 1: New York City. Brought to you by Northwest Handling Systems.
- 22:04Speaker 1: From forklifts to Pella jacks conveyors, toloading dock equipment. We
- 22:08Speaker 1: sell random service all of your warehouse he meets. Request
- 22:12Speaker 1: the quote today at nwachs dot com or call four
- 22:15Speaker 1: two five two five five zero five hundreds.
- 22:18Speaker 7: Now here's he in with Danny one.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Danie O'Neil joined us every week. Big thanks in north
- 22:24Speaker 2: Bust Handling Systems. By the way, Danny, I think you
- 22:26Speaker 2: were on hold. Could you hear that spot? Are you
- 22:28Speaker 2: going to download the Dodgers podcast if we can't wait
- 22:31Speaker 2: to hear here in Seattle?
- 22:34Speaker 9: I did not plant to.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I mean, God, but you know what's interesting, I'll give
- 22:43Speaker 2: I don't I think that's who everyone hears rooting force
- 22:47Speaker 2: may be right, I mean I think everyone here's root
- 22:50Speaker 2: for the Dodgers.
- 22:51Speaker 9: Now, yeah, it's weird. So I don't know what's gonna
- 22:55Speaker 9: happen when first pitch goes because on on just the
- 23:00Speaker 9: general principle, I don't like super teams. I don't like
- 23:04Speaker 9: teams that gets resources stacked because basically everybody decides they're
- 23:09Speaker 9: gonna go play for the great team, and that's that's
- 23:13Speaker 9: clearly the Dodgers. But I also don't care for the
- 23:17Speaker 9: Toronto Blue Jays all that much, and I'm still salty
- 23:21Speaker 9: and bitter. So maybe it will be because I was thinking, like,
- 23:25Speaker 9: the Dodgers have great uniforms. The Dodgers, I think have
- 23:28Speaker 9: the most beautiful uniforms in baseball. So maybe that is
- 23:31Speaker 9: the tipping point.
- 23:32Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 23:33Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm interested to see because there's other times
- 23:37Speaker 9: when with USC in the Big Ten, I wonder, Okay,
- 23:41Speaker 9: am I gonna start changing how I feel about USC?
- 23:45Speaker 9: And I've always hated USC and nope, nope, I still
- 23:48Speaker 9: hate USC. It was really happy when Notre Dame absolutely
- 23:52Speaker 9: buried them. So there's there's times where I'm kind of
- 23:54Speaker 9: pleasantly surprised to find out which which way my emotions
- 23:57Speaker 9: are actually going. Sometimes I surprised my.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Yeah, well, because we can't listen. Nobody can understand other
- 24:06Speaker 2: people's fandom, much less your own fandom. Right, So, like
- 24:11Speaker 2: I I, you know, I'm watching the Twitter war between
- 24:14Speaker 2: Moyer and Softy right now, enjoying every second of it.
- 24:17Speaker 2: And you know, like like Dave's right, like, hey, don't
- 24:20Speaker 2: tell us how to fan. Don't tell people how to mourn.
- 24:23Speaker 2: Like if people were sideways or upset, let them do it, man.
- 24:26Speaker 2: I mean, that's just the way it is. But uh,
- 24:28Speaker 2: let's but that part of it's awesome anyway.
- 24:32Speaker 8: I agree with Softy.
- 24:34Speaker 3: I do too, Like like.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Paul, have a clue, buddy, Like, like, there's forty seven
- 24:40Speaker 2: thousand people packed in that ballpark, there's hundreds of thousands
- 24:44Speaker 2: in the area that we're just strawt when this thing
- 24:46Speaker 2: came to an end for a variety of reasons, like
- 24:49Speaker 2: don't tell people to get over it, like especially when
- 24:53Speaker 2: you work in sports, like well, Seahawks had a tough loss.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Let's go to the postgame show, Get over it, Paul,
- 25:00Speaker 2: Come on, man, what are you doing?
- 25:01Speaker 9: I would say the firm rules are you're not allowed
- 25:05Speaker 9: to hit someone else and you're not allowed to break
- 25:08Speaker 9: their stuff. But pretty much other than that, I think
- 25:12Speaker 9: you're allowed to say whatever you want. Now there may
- 25:15Speaker 9: be consequences for what you say, and you can break
- 25:17Speaker 9: your own stuff if you're a fan like these are
- 25:20Speaker 9: these are the things, And yes, that's part of the
- 25:23Speaker 9: If it's not in the Bill of Rights, it should be.
- 25:26Speaker 2: O'nil joining us Roger about Northwest handling systems. All right,
- 25:31Speaker 2: you wrote about it in the day Apostrophe, but let's
- 25:33Speaker 2: do it verbally here on the air.
- 25:36Speaker 3: I don't know. Do you want to play blame game?
- 25:38Speaker 3: Do you want to look back at the season as
- 25:40Speaker 3: a whole? What do you want to do?
- 25:43Speaker 9: I want to look back at the season as a whole.
- 25:45Speaker 9: And I'm trying really hard to and not play the
- 25:47Speaker 9: blame game because the reality is.
- 25:50Speaker 3: That it's kind of impossible.
- 25:53Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's hard. I was going to be mad
- 25:58Speaker 9: at something and it just happens that it's the bullpen
- 26:01Speaker 9: management that ends up being But in terms of mistakes
- 26:05Speaker 9: that have been made over time, I don't think. I mean,
- 26:10Speaker 9: I agree with the thought process that led to the
- 26:13Speaker 9: Seahawks throwing the ball at the goal line. I don't
- 26:16Speaker 9: agree with the past they threw. I think, I think
- 26:19Speaker 9: the past thing, but I agree with the decision making
- 26:22Speaker 9: process on that, And I think this falls in the
- 26:25Speaker 9: same line with that, where I don't I don't fully
- 26:29Speaker 9: agree with how it ultimately played out, but I see
- 26:33Speaker 9: where they were going, and I'm ultimately this this wasn't
- 26:37Speaker 9: some case of like cavalier mismanagement, like I feel like
- 26:41Speaker 9: a lot of people believe. And I think that's just
- 26:43Speaker 9: because of the size and stakes that were at hand,
- 26:48Speaker 9: that it was the magnitude of what there causes you
- 26:51Speaker 9: to you have to be mad at something, So let's
- 26:54Speaker 9: be irrationally mad at at Dan Wilson's decision because it
- 26:59Speaker 9: I can see how he and handled it the way
- 27:01Speaker 9: he did. I wish that Munyos was in the game,
- 27:04Speaker 9: but look, man, when Munyos came in, he got knocked
- 27:06Speaker 9: around too, So there's no guarantee that another route would
- 27:10Speaker 9: have ended up getting you home to face.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the two things.
- 27:14Speaker 9: First.
- 27:14Speaker 2: I'll get back to to Super Bowl forty nine a second,
- 27:16Speaker 2: but the as far as the decision we had. You know,
- 27:19Speaker 2: Sarah sni is one of our baseball guys this week
- 27:21Speaker 2: on on yesterday, he brought up a great point and
- 27:25Speaker 2: this his specialty with the athletic and baseball stuff is pitching,
- 27:29Speaker 2: and he studies this stuff more intently than any of
- 27:31Speaker 2: us do. And he he brought up the point and says,
- 27:34Speaker 2: here's the problem. He said, when you get into a
- 27:35Speaker 2: seven game series, the data shows you that when when
- 27:38Speaker 2: good hitters see a pitcher for a third time, not
- 27:41Speaker 2: a third time through the order like in one game,
- 27:43Speaker 2: but a third time i e. A reliever, then the
- 27:47Speaker 2: rate of success for that picture drops dramatically. Well, Bizartro
- 27:51Speaker 2: was that guy, and you hadn't used Brash as much.
- 27:54Speaker 2: You certainly had. You hadn't used Munyos much at all.
- 27:57Speaker 2: And that's why he said it was a bad decision.
- 27:59Speaker 2: I mean, based on the analytics and the numbers and
- 28:02Speaker 2: the data that we have today, it was a bad
- 28:04Speaker 2: decision because it was bizarre O going getting run out
- 28:07Speaker 2: there for the umpteenth time in that series against that
- 28:10Speaker 2: lineup that doesn't strike out. It was a bad decision
- 28:13Speaker 2: by Dan Wilson. There's no other way around it, but
- 28:16Speaker 2: you know what it happened, and it's very Mariner like,
- 28:20Speaker 2: we just we got kicked in the you know what
- 28:22Speaker 2: I I. It's you and I might be the only
- 28:24Speaker 2: two guys that are on that the page of I
- 28:27Speaker 2: can kind of understand super Bowl forty nine, and I
- 28:31Speaker 2: I always did for this reason because of the what
- 28:34Speaker 2: do you have, like the one time out left, I
- 28:35Speaker 2: mean time timeouts left clock, you were going to have
- 28:39Speaker 2: to throw it at some.
- 28:40Speaker 7: Point, yes, but you knowing it.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Yeah, but throwing into a mosh pit to Ricardo Loquette,
- 28:50Speaker 2: that's not where you do it like that just that's
- 28:53Speaker 2: just not what you do.
- 28:54Speaker 9: That's exactly right, because the situation they're in, they have
- 28:58Speaker 9: three plays and the timeout that they have to make
- 29:03Speaker 9: sure that you get each of your three chances. One
- 29:05Speaker 9: of those plays is going to have to be a throw,
- 29:07Speaker 9: and they decided it was going to be a throw
- 29:09Speaker 9: with the goal line package that the Patriots had in there.
- 29:13Speaker 9: But I would agree, you don't throw it over the middle.
- 29:15Speaker 9: You don't throw it over the middle to Ricardo Lockett,
- 29:18Speaker 9: And you don't throw it over to Ricardo the middle
- 29:20Speaker 9: to Ricardo Lockett when you're planning on Jermaine Curse being
- 29:24Speaker 9: able to fight off not get ragged all.
- 29:28Speaker 3: By Brandon Browner.
- 29:30Speaker 9: That's the part of the decision.
- 29:31Speaker 7: That was tough.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Yes, especially since Jermaine Curse got you there with a
- 29:36Speaker 2: catch in after all the drops in overtime. Maybe we
- 29:39Speaker 2: reverse the roles. Lockett's a little Lockett's a bigger receiver.
- 29:43Speaker 3: We're gonna go down that road and we both be mad. Okay,
- 29:46Speaker 3: real quick before I let you go, quick thoughts.
- 29:49Speaker 2: I know you wrote about it, but summarize your thoughts
- 29:51Speaker 2: on a lot of us are optimistic about the Seahawks. Danny,
- 29:54Speaker 2: are you pessimistic about the Seahawks.
- 29:57Speaker 9: I'm not pessimistic. I'm at the same spot I was
- 30:00Speaker 9: when the season started, which is, I think they've got
- 30:02Speaker 9: a really good defense, and I've got some questions about
- 30:06Speaker 9: their offense. And I feel like Sam Donald, the way
- 30:10Speaker 9: he's played, everybody's like, Okay, the offense is no longer
- 30:13Speaker 9: a question.
- 30:13Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know about that.
- 30:16Speaker 9: I'm not sure they're they're committed to fair number of turnovers.
- 30:20Speaker 9: And the quarterback who's that's kind of been his mo
- 30:22Speaker 9: over his career that one of the problems has been
- 30:25Speaker 9: losing fumbles. He's lost a couple of fumbles in big,
- 30:29Speaker 9: big situations. I think I think they're going to win
- 30:32Speaker 9: the division. I'm just I'm still when I look at
- 30:35Speaker 9: this team, I have a hard time seeing it getting
- 30:37Speaker 9: cast the divisional round. And maybe maybe I'm just not
- 30:42Speaker 9: not giving full credence to what how Sam Donald has
- 30:47Speaker 9: looked because everything they've asked him to do, he's been
- 30:50Speaker 9: able to do. It's just that a couple of pretty
- 30:52Speaker 9: inopportune turnovers for them. But I'm not pessimistic. I feel
- 30:56Speaker 9: like everybody else has moved where I was the optimist
- 31:00Speaker 9: when the season started, and now I feel like the
- 31:02Speaker 9: floody duddy because everybody's like, man, they're great, They're gonna
- 31:05Speaker 9: get back to the super Bowl, Like I don't know
- 31:06Speaker 9: if I see that yet.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Oh and there is no guarantee getting back to Super
- 31:11Speaker 2: Bowls or World Series, as we found out too hard
- 31:14Speaker 2: in this town. Danie Neil brought to you by Northwest
- 31:16Speaker 2: Handling Systems and Material Handling Handling Experts. They sell, rent
- 31:19Speaker 2: and service all of your warehousing needs. Northwest Handling Systems
- 31:22Speaker 2: of Material Handling Experts Danny tell people at the day Apostrophe.
- 31:27Speaker 9: It is a newsletter that originates in New York City
- 31:29Speaker 9: but focuses on Seattle sports. You go to Danny O'Neil
- 31:32Speaker 9: dot com, you enter your email address, and then I
- 31:35Speaker 9: send you things, which this week included a little bit
- 31:38Speaker 9: of ghostwriting for Russell Wilson. The next time that Russ
- 31:41Speaker 9: decides that he's gonna he's gonna clap back. The next time,
- 31:45Speaker 9: I'm gonna give him some better lines than the one
- 31:47Speaker 9: he used, because I really liked the fact that he
- 31:50Speaker 9: departed the high road to take some shots at Sean Payton.
- 31:53Speaker 9: I just thought, I just thought the bounty, the bounty
- 31:55Speaker 9: hunting reference, I thought that was bad. I thought it
- 31:59Speaker 9: was a bad line. If he was a rapper, it
- 32:02Speaker 9: would have been a whack dis So I tried to
- 32:05Speaker 9: come up with something better, like, hey, at least I
- 32:07Speaker 9: didn't have to cross a picket line to throw a
- 32:09Speaker 9: pass in the NFL, which that would have been a
- 32:11Speaker 9: much better burn on shot.
- 32:13Speaker 7: Pat.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Oh, God, so good. It is funny because Russ has
- 32:18Speaker 2: been hammered. But I'll tell you this rightfully, so knowing
- 32:21Speaker 2: people behind the scenes what he did in Seattle, but
- 32:23Speaker 2: clopping back in Sean Payton's always fun. So you know
- 32:26Speaker 2: what it's like, the two bullies and the block beating
- 32:28Speaker 2: up on each other. Whatever, they can have fun. Danny,
- 32:30Speaker 2: great stuff. Will talk to you next week, my friend.
- 32:32Speaker 3: Thank you sounds great. Take care of guys, Danny.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Only all love our conversations every Friday with him. We
- 32:37Speaker 2: can go forever with Danny. There's no doubt about that.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Those are a ton of fun.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Boy. We got to get to a daily power.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Play huh about our hockey team before we check in
- 32:44Speaker 2: on the college football weekend with Rob rang at two
- 32:46Speaker 2: o'clock today. But we got to talk a little pluck
- 32:48Speaker 2: because our Kraken are humming right now. We'll talk about
- 32:51Speaker 2: that next.
- 33:12Speaker 7: Why there's nothing like it.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Dona when you're a Temple backer Newman Pace.
- 33:22Speaker 1: This is the Daily power Play Hockey on your home

- 33:55Speaker 2: three point three k D F M. If you were
- 33:57Speaker 2: listening last night to Fits or watching John and JT
- 34:01Speaker 2: on TV, you were having a good time because the
- 34:03Speaker 2: Craken wrapped up their longest road trip of the season,
- 34:06Speaker 2: six straight away from home, with an incredible three to
- 34:09Speaker 2: nothing win in Winnipeg. The Jets last year were the
- 34:12Speaker 2: best team in the National Hockey League.
- 34:14Speaker 3: They won the President's Trophy.
- 34:16Speaker 2: This year, they had won five straight after losing their opener,
- 34:19Speaker 2: they were five and one. They had not been shut
- 34:21Speaker 2: out at home since January of twenty twenty four. All
- 34:25Speaker 2: of that came to a crashing hault. If you're wondering, hey,
- 34:29Speaker 2: are we going to suffer through another season and of
- 34:32Speaker 2: you know, team being out of it by December January,
- 34:34Speaker 2: the answers no Ley Lambert is making a big difference
- 34:36Speaker 2: with this team, and they are doing it massively Shorthanded.
- 34:39Speaker 2: Mason Marshman came back in the lineup last night, but
- 34:42Speaker 2: they're still missing two key forwards, Coppococo and Jared McCann.
- 34:46Speaker 2: They're moving a really big part of the defense in
- 34:48Speaker 2: Brandon Montour. He is still out for personal reasons. Despite
- 34:52Speaker 2: all those losses, this team is humming right now. And
- 34:55Speaker 2: they come back off a road trip. They go two
- 34:57Speaker 2: too and two. So they get points in four of
- 34:59Speaker 2: the six game on the road, including two wins. The
- 35:02Speaker 2: only two losses Monday and Tuesday this week to Philadelphia
- 35:05Speaker 2: and Washington, and they bounced back.
- 35:06Speaker 3: Lambert challenged them and they bounced back in a big
- 35:08Speaker 3: way last night.
- 35:10Speaker 2: I'm so bullish on the way these guys are playing
- 35:12Speaker 2: on Lambert's coaching, Chris Taylor's power play. It looks so
- 35:15Speaker 2: much better than a year ago. He's the assistant coach
- 35:17Speaker 2: running that they are. They're doing well now. The schedule
- 35:22Speaker 2: does not get easier. Tomorrow, team that's been the Stanley
- 35:24Speaker 2: Cup Finals the last two years in row, Edmonton is
- 35:26Speaker 2: in town. That's a seven o'clock face off, six thirty

- 35:32Speaker 2: The Captain, Mike Benton will be with you, so tune
- 35:34Speaker 2: in for that coming up tomorrow. It's after Huskie Football
- 35:36Speaker 2: six thirty pre game with the captain, seven o'clock drop
- 35:39Speaker 2: of the puck at Climate plag Aina against the Oilers

- 35:45Speaker 2: They are four three and one on the season, Seattle
- 35:49Speaker 2: right now behind only Vegas in the Pacific Division of
- 35:53Speaker 2: the National Hockey League. Vegas got five zero to two. Yeah,
- 35:58Speaker 2: went four straight games, beat them though in at least
- 36:01Speaker 2: in overtime.
- 36:02Speaker 3: You're a Seattle crack Yep, let's take that one. All right. Uh,
- 36:08Speaker 3: we're good, all good?
- 36:10Speaker 10: I mean it all sounds good to me.
- 36:12Speaker 2: Yeah, let's good out there. More night Man Dry, Sidle McDavid, Ryan, Ustett, Hopkins.
- 36:16Speaker 7: Finally back home.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Fuck god, that's that is a long second. It ties
- 36:21Speaker 2: for the second longest road trip in franchise history. They
- 36:23Speaker 2: had a seven gamer one year, but they've had a
- 36:26Speaker 2: couple of six gamers and to get that out of
- 36:28Speaker 2: the way early and to come back. If you would
- 36:30Speaker 2: have told me by the way that if they were
- 36:31Speaker 2: going to come back and say they were, you know, three,
- 36:34Speaker 2: three and two after that start of the season, I'd
- 36:37Speaker 2: be like, Okay, we're good.
- 36:38Speaker 3: That's all right.
- 36:39Speaker 2: They're ahead of expectations right now. And a lot of
- 36:42Speaker 2: people don't believe in this team. I get it, I
- 36:44Speaker 2: understand it. But I think we've seen the difference that
- 36:46Speaker 2: coaching makes and we're seeing that up close and personal
- 36:48Speaker 2: with Lane. Okay, we come back. Rob, Rang's gonna get
- 36:51Speaker 2: us ready for the college football weekend.
- 36:54Speaker 3: We've missed Rob at least for the last week, maybe
- 36:57Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks. It feels like right with baseball.
- 36:59Speaker 10: Yeah, everything shifted and you know, the cracking on the
- 37:03Speaker 10: road trip.
- 37:04Speaker 3: Cracking road trips, all those things. So Rob's back with us.

- 39:57Speaker 8: I'm doing very well.
- 39:58Speaker 7: It's good to hear your voice again, sir.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Perfect, good to hear you as well. All right, let's
- 40:03Speaker 2: get to I want to get to the Seahawks at
- 40:05Speaker 2: the end. If I can't, because if people don't know this,
- 40:08Speaker 2: they should. You're listening to the show. You're probably listening
- 40:10Speaker 2: to the show all during the spring. Robs are also
- 40:12Speaker 2: our draft insider, and we used them all through draft weekend,
- 40:14Speaker 2: as we've done for the last decade and a half
- 40:16Speaker 2: or so. He gave the Seahawks a pretty good grade
- 40:19Speaker 2: in the draft, and some people didn't like that great.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Is that true? Rob's that? Is that right? Some people
- 40:22Speaker 3: didn't like that great?
- 40:24Speaker 8: But yeah, some people who thought I was being a homer,
- 40:27Speaker 8: some people who thought that the Seahawks kind of were
- 40:29Speaker 8: swinging for the defenses and didn't get quality players. I
- 40:32Speaker 8: think that the evidence is out there now. The Seahawks
- 40:35Speaker 8: actually got some very talented rookies.
- 40:38Speaker 2: So we'll get to that at the end of the segment.
- 40:40Speaker 2: Let me start with college football. Let's get through some
- 40:42Speaker 2: of the games. And who you're watching this weekend. I
- 40:46Speaker 2: know you're looking, and I was in a shocking development
- 40:48Speaker 2: our draft insiders looking at the SEC hard this weekend.
- 40:51Speaker 3: That's strange, I know, weird.
- 40:53Speaker 2: But and you've got a new article up right now,
- 40:54Speaker 2: the top ten defensive prospects available in the twenty twenty
- 40:57Speaker 2: six draft. I'm cure boy. I can't wait to get
- 40:59Speaker 2: your thoughts on this one. Number eight Old Miss is
- 41:01Speaker 2: playing number three thirteen Oklahoma, nine o'clock tomorrow morning on ESPN. Obviously,
- 41:08Speaker 2: John Mittier quarterback for Oklahoma. We watched Old Miss struggle
- 41:11Speaker 2: with Washington State and oh they're looking ahead to Georgia.
- 41:15Speaker 2: That may or may not have been the case for
- 41:17Speaker 2: the first half, but the second half was the same story.
- 41:19Speaker 2: So I'm not really buying that. I don't I'm not
- 41:21Speaker 2: buying Old Miss, to be honest with you. But in Oklahoma,
- 41:24Speaker 2: after a good start, not a great return for John Mattier.
- 41:27Speaker 3: So who you watching this game?
- 41:30Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a lot of prospects in this particular game.
- 41:33Speaker 8: I I just you know, you've always heard the expression
- 41:37Speaker 8: in boxing that contrasting styles make for great fights, you know,
- 41:41Speaker 8: I mean, you have one of the great offensive play
- 41:43Speaker 8: callers and all of college football and Lane Kiffin and
- 41:46Speaker 8: go up against the defensive minded head coach now Brent
- 41:49Speaker 8: Venables at Oklahoma. And so I think that this is
- 41:52Speaker 8: going to be a compelling game from just a competitive standpoint.
- 41:57Speaker 8: And again there's a number of prospects out there. I
- 41:59Speaker 8: think I have to agree with you. I don't think
- 42:01Speaker 8: the ole Miss is as gifted as you might expect.
- 42:05Speaker 8: For number eight overall lets, they got a quarterback Intriguera
- 42:09Speaker 8: add Shambliss, six foot, two hundred pounds. I mean, he's
- 42:12Speaker 8: a dynamic dual threat kind of a guy. He transferred
- 42:15Speaker 8: to Old Miss after helping Farris State win the D
- 42:19Speaker 8: two national championship last year. Fifty one total touchdowns, twenty
- 42:24Speaker 8: six through the air, twenty.
- 42:25Speaker 7: Five on the ground.
- 42:26Speaker 8: That lets you, you know, know just what a dynamic
- 42:29Speaker 8: dual threat guy is. But for the NFL, I don't
- 42:31Speaker 8: know that he is that for my money, the most
- 42:34Speaker 8: interesting guys for ole Miss actually on the defensive side
- 42:37Speaker 8: of the ball. They've got a corner Antonio pint A
- 42:41Speaker 8: defensive tackles zav And Harris, who is absolute monster, six
- 42:45Speaker 8: foot seven, three hundred and thirty pounder, and then they
- 42:48Speaker 8: got an edge rusher centering Perkins. Those three guys I
- 42:52Speaker 8: think have a legitimate chance to be drafted, but I
- 42:54Speaker 8: don't know that there is a top one hundred selection
- 42:56Speaker 8: on their roster and his hands right now. John Matier
- 43:00Speaker 8: for Oklahoma obviously the quarterback who's a pretty dynamic player himself,
- 43:05Speaker 8: but he didn't look completely healthy in the Red River rivalry,
- 43:09Speaker 8: multiple turnovers in that game. So for my money, Oklahoma's
- 43:13Speaker 8: top process number thirty two with edge rusher are Mason
- 43:16Speaker 8: Thomas sixty and fifty pounds. The safety number twenty two
- 43:19Speaker 8: Peyton Bowen, a six foot two hundred pounder. Both of
- 43:22Speaker 8: them are heavy hitters, play at the physicality that might
- 43:25Speaker 8: intrigue the Seahawks when it comes.
- 43:27Speaker 9: To draft him.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I always go back to Shambles for a second.
- 43:30Speaker 2: The quarterback watching him, and I mentioned this last week
- 43:33Speaker 2: during our Factor Fiction picks. Demon Williams is better quarter
- 43:37Speaker 2: is far more terrifying to me, Like, and you know,
- 43:39Speaker 2: he's a better He's a better thrower of the football
- 43:42Speaker 2: for sure, especially anything that's outside of a screen pass.
- 43:45Speaker 2: It's not even close, I don't think, But I think
- 43:48Speaker 2: that's that old missile struggle in that regard.
- 43:51Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm curious.
- 43:51Speaker 2: That's a good matchup early on nine am on ESPN
- 43:55Speaker 2: coming up tomorrow, and also a key matchup two for
- 43:58Speaker 2: these teams that are trying to hang on to some
- 44:00Speaker 2: SEC title and SEC championship game and college football playoff
- 44:04Speaker 2: game hopes as well. Speaking of which, Number four Alabama
- 44:07Speaker 2: at South Carolina twelve thirty on ABC tomorrow.
- 44:13Speaker 3: Listen.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Alabama, Kalin to Bora Company have turned things around. Some
- 44:16Speaker 2: people think they might be the best team in the country.
- 44:19Speaker 2: I may not disagree with that. They've been really good lately.
- 44:22Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, this is a battle of
- 44:25Speaker 2: two really good quarterbacks, two potential NFL quarterbacks. And we've
- 44:29Speaker 2: been waiting for some quarterbacks rob all year to kind
- 44:31Speaker 2: of rise to the top, and it looks like this
- 44:33Speaker 2: game might have that.
- 44:35Speaker 8: Yeah, Camlin de Bore deserves awful lot of credit obviously
- 44:37Speaker 8: for the success that Michael Penniks had Indiana and then
- 44:40Speaker 8: obviously at the University of Washington. I think you have
- 44:44Speaker 8: to give some credit to Nick Saban's predecessor, of course,
- 44:46Speaker 8: to Alabama, for the initial recruitment of Ty Simpson at
- 44:51Speaker 8: the quarterback position. But definitely the fact that ty Simpson
- 44:54Speaker 8: has jumped up into the starting role this year and
- 44:56Speaker 8: have gotten better and better and better as the season
- 44:59Speaker 8: has gone on. And as you said, I mean he
- 45:01Speaker 8: is now considered one of the more intriguing quarterback prospects
- 45:05Speaker 8: potentially available in twenty twenty six draft. I mean, this
- 45:08Speaker 8: is his third year in Tuscaloosa, but at the same
- 45:11Speaker 8: time as his first season as a starter. But he
- 45:13Speaker 8: is been spectacular. His accuracy, his playmaking ability, even as
- 45:19Speaker 8: the pocket is collapsing, is much more representative of a
- 45:24Speaker 8: quarterback who has a hex lot more starting experience in
- 45:26Speaker 8: just the seven games that he has at this point.
- 45:28Speaker 8: He's got the prototypical size at six foot three to
- 45:31Speaker 8: hundred and fifteen pounds. Then, while he may not have
- 45:34Speaker 8: the app the arm strength of the quarterback operating against
- 45:38Speaker 8: him for South Carolina, Leonora Sellers, he is a much
- 45:42Speaker 8: more refined passer and so I'm very intrigued by ty Simpson.
- 45:46Speaker 8: To me, he is the quarterback right now who is
- 45:49Speaker 8: flying up draft boards as quickly as just about anybody
- 45:52Speaker 8: in the entire country. I mentioned Leonora Sellers. I mean,
- 45:55Speaker 8: this guy, you just look at his size, his arm strength,
- 45:58Speaker 8: and the running of six. He's two hundred and forty pounds.
- 46:02Speaker 8: There are some comparisons out there to a Jalen Hurtz
- 46:05Speaker 8: or a Dak Prescott. I think that maybe he looks
- 46:08Speaker 8: like a very young version of those two quarterbacks who
- 46:12Speaker 8: still struggled with accuracy. He's still struggled with ring defense
- 46:15Speaker 8: at the times. His ability ian to just kind of
- 46:18Speaker 8: buy time in the pocket and then just heave the
- 46:21Speaker 8: ball sixty seventy yards downfield. It reminded me actually a
- 46:24Speaker 8: little bit of a young Ben Roethlisberger. And so again
- 46:28Speaker 8: we're talking about two very different style of quarterbacks, but
- 46:32Speaker 8: certainly two of the more gifted passers in this year's
- 46:34Speaker 8: draft class.
- 46:35Speaker 2: With sellers, is that a guy when you say by time,
- 46:38Speaker 2: kind of when I'm thinking of Ben Roethlisberger, I'm thinking
- 46:40Speaker 2: of a guy not necessarily scrambling. He just has that
- 46:42Speaker 2: ability to move his feet and kind of shift one
- 46:44Speaker 2: way or the other, just you know, it's another half
- 46:46Speaker 2: second or second along the ways that we're talking about.
- 46:50Speaker 8: He can certainly do that. And then if he wants
- 46:52Speaker 8: to stuck the ball and run, he certainly can do
- 46:54Speaker 8: that as well. And this is not Lamar Jackson. You know,
- 46:57Speaker 8: it's that guy who's gonna run away from people as
- 46:59Speaker 8: much as he's put him on their backside. But at
- 47:02Speaker 8: the same time, he can be a scrambling threat as well,
- 47:05Speaker 8: and he has shown you know, pinpoint accuracy at times
- 47:08Speaker 8: it just flashes it. So to me again, he's a
- 47:10Speaker 8: little bit more like the backup quarterback in or the
- 47:13Speaker 8: thirst string of quarterback in seatle Jero Monroe, and that
- 47:16Speaker 8: you see the talent. He just definitely needs some time
- 47:19Speaker 8: before he's gonna jump into the NFL. But in the
- 47:20Speaker 8: quarterback clasts like this in the name where there are
- 47:23Speaker 8: not any career cut, superstar quarterbacks. A lot of the
- 47:26Speaker 8: guys that are, you know, the big names, that Garrett Ness, Meyers,
- 47:29Speaker 8: the arch Mannings, they've been up so up and down.
- 47:32Speaker 8: So if you're going to be gambling on a quarterback,
- 47:34Speaker 8: why not gamble on a guy who has the greatest
- 47:36Speaker 8: physical tools. At least that's the argument some people have
- 47:39Speaker 8: for Sellers. So if he were to come out, he
- 47:41Speaker 8: still has a year of eligibility. If he were to
- 47:43Speaker 8: come out, I think that there's a possibility go in
- 47:44Speaker 8: the first round. But for me, I wouldn't touch him
- 47:47Speaker 8: in the top fifty.

- 48:04Speaker 2: out forellispizza dot com. Well, speaking of underrated, speaking of
- 48:09Speaker 2: quarterbacks that maybe weren't there on people's list at the
- 48:11Speaker 2: start of the year, Vanderbilt's got one. Let's talk about
- 48:14Speaker 2: Pavamania Number ten Vanderbilt hosting number fifteen Missouri this weekend.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Rob.
- 48:20Speaker 8: You know, it's funny I've been comparing Diego Pavia to
- 48:24Speaker 8: John Kitna for so long now. I mean, it doesn't
- 48:27Speaker 8: have the physical tools that excite anybody, but he's just gutty,
- 48:31Speaker 8: he's competitive, and so I think that this is going
- 48:34Speaker 8: to be a really interesting game for him. I mean,
- 48:36Speaker 8: he is the one that's going to get all of
- 48:39Speaker 8: the attention, of course at the quarterback, and with his
- 48:42Speaker 8: you know, just kind of moxie and his confidence, he
- 48:44Speaker 8: plays a little bit of a swagger to him. The
- 48:47Speaker 8: actually the best prospect for my money on the commodoors
- 48:51Speaker 8: is actually a former tight end, the excuse me, a
- 48:54Speaker 8: former quarterback who has turning tight end Eli Stowers. To me,
- 48:58Speaker 8: he is one of the most intriguing tight ends in
- 49:00Speaker 8: this year's draft. I think he's got a real chance
- 49:02Speaker 8: to be, if not in the first couple of rounds,
- 49:05Speaker 8: certainly a quality mid round selection. And so again he
- 49:09Speaker 8: is an interesting guy. Missouri's got some players as well.
- 49:12Speaker 8: Go Privula, their quarterback is another interesting late round kind
- 49:16Speaker 8: of a guy. He's had to kind of buy his time.
- 49:19Speaker 8: He was waiting behind Brady Cook, who is now in
- 49:23Speaker 8: the NFL. But now that he's had his opportunity, he's
- 49:26Speaker 8: turned some heads as well. And then the two edge rushers,
- 49:29Speaker 8: now those are the guys that I really want to
- 49:30Speaker 8: talk about for Missouri. Zion Young is a Michigan State transfer.
- 49:35Speaker 8: He's got nine and a half tackles for loss and
- 49:37Speaker 8: five sacks, including a really impressive performance a couple of
- 49:40Speaker 8: weeks ago. Two sacks, a couple of tackles for loss
- 49:43Speaker 8: against Auburn. Damon Wilson, the edge rusher on the opposite
- 49:46Speaker 8: side of Georgia transfer. He's got six and a half
- 49:50Speaker 8: tackles for lost, five and a half sacks so far
- 49:52Speaker 8: this he's in two of his sacks. We're against Alabama.
- 49:55Speaker 8: You want to get on scouts radar have impressive performances
- 49:59Speaker 8: against Alabama and Auburn. Auburn playing a lot more pro
- 50:01Speaker 8: style offense, so team scouts are looking at how players
- 50:05Speaker 8: perform against those two programs, Alabama and Auburn, and then
- 50:08Speaker 8: that's kind of the measuring stick. So watching those two
- 50:11Speaker 8: edge rushers with Boye Mafe among the edge rushers that
- 50:16Speaker 8: the Sucks might be looking to move on past Boya
- 50:18Speaker 8: Moffett courses, you know, a free agent at the end
- 50:21Speaker 8: of this season that could be a positional group that
- 50:24Speaker 8: Seeallox would take advantage of it. And this is a
- 50:26Speaker 8: really rich crop of edge rushers.
- 50:28Speaker 7: This year, Robb.
- 50:29Speaker 2: Before we talk about Seahawks draft class in the spy week,
- 50:31Speaker 2: when we get to one more game, number three Texas
- 50:33Speaker 2: A and m number twenty LSU.
- 50:37Speaker 8: Yeah, it's my favorite game of the day. It's I'm
- 50:39Speaker 8: happy that we are to Carver have some time for
- 50:40Speaker 8: this guy. I mean, I think for first off with
- 50:43Speaker 8: Texas A and M. Their top player is another pass rusher,
- 50:46Speaker 8: cash Is Howe, And I think that you know, scouts
- 50:50Speaker 8: are like the rest of us, and if they love
- 50:52Speaker 8: these kind of comeback stories and sleeper stories and things
- 50:55Speaker 8: like that, you know, the cash Is Howe is a
- 50:59Speaker 8: guy that played a small school level and was dominant there,
- 51:02Speaker 8: actually led the country in sacks and then goes to
- 51:06Speaker 8: Texas A and M. They had three guys that were
- 51:08Speaker 8: drafted and in the top sixty four picks a year
- 51:11Speaker 8: ago along the defensive line, so he didn't get me
- 51:12Speaker 8: any opportunities. Actually has to play some off ball linebacker
- 51:16Speaker 8: actually trail and coverage, do things like that, and he
- 51:18Speaker 8: was effected there.
- 51:20Speaker 9: He's even more.
- 51:20Speaker 8: Effective now as a pass rusher, actually leaving the SEC
- 51:24Speaker 8: with seven and a half sacks so far this season.
- 51:26Speaker 8: So to me, he is the guy for Texas A
- 51:29Speaker 8: and M to really be paying attention to. The Aggie's
- 51:32Speaker 8: offensive line is very big, very powerful, kind of fits
- 51:35Speaker 8: in with what Mike McDonald is looking to bring, you know,
- 51:39Speaker 8: first Seattle, so I think that has something to kind
- 51:41Speaker 8: of keep an eye on as well. And then LSU
- 51:43Speaker 8: of course is loaded with talent, a lot of individual prospects.
- 51:47Speaker 8: They still always put the game together. The quarterback Garrett Messmeyer.
- 51:50Speaker 8: We've talked a lot about Mansword Delayne, a transfer from
- 51:54Speaker 8: Virginia Tech, and in reference that the article I have
- 51:59Speaker 8: a Fox right now the top ten defensive prospects in
- 52:02Speaker 8: the entire draft, Mansword Delaye is my number four overall prospect,
- 52:07Speaker 8: you know, number two overall defensive back in this entire class,
- 52:10Speaker 8: behind only the great Caleb Downs at Ohio State. Long, lanky,
- 52:15Speaker 8: and a playmaker. He gets somebody to keep in mind
- 52:18Speaker 8: as well, again with Seattle having some concerns at the
- 52:21Speaker 8: cornerback position.
- 52:23Speaker 2: It is our good friend Rob rang and we're checking
- 52:25Speaker 2: in with Rob of course, courtesy of Farelli's Pizzaisters, Fox
- 52:29Speaker 2: sports dot com our Draft insider, our draft analyst, and
- 52:32Speaker 2: Rob Let's We got a week here, a bye week
- 52:35Speaker 2: for the Seahawks. Let's revisit what they've got in terms
- 52:38Speaker 2: of their draft class this season. Grey's Abel obviously has
- 52:42Speaker 2: started all seven games, even Worry is a starter in
- 52:45Speaker 2: the four games he's been playing. He obviously missed the
- 52:47Speaker 2: three with an injury. A Royal Elijah Royal's played every game,
- 52:50Speaker 2: still waiting for a little more production from him eleven
- 52:53Speaker 2: catches so far this season. Milwroll different story. Riley Mills
- 52:58Speaker 2: is on the pup list, Tory Horton is starting to
- 53:00Speaker 2: make an impact as well. Robbie Huts when he comes back,
- 53:04Speaker 2: will make an impact. There's no doubt about that. Obviously,
- 53:07Speaker 2: the full back Cable dude, Martine Cable do is noth
- 53:10Speaker 2: there not around. Uh, He's on the practice squad. Martinez
- 53:14Speaker 2: was cut Richmond and Ricky White as well, so that
- 53:16Speaker 2: at least the top half of that draft class looks
- 53:18Speaker 2: pretty promising so far.
- 53:21Speaker 7: About it.
- 53:21Speaker 8: I mean Grey's Abel, I think he's been kind of
- 53:23Speaker 8: breath of pressure in terms of just the athletic ability
- 53:26Speaker 8: that fits in so nicely with Quint Kubiak, John bent
- 53:30Speaker 8: Rick Anderson, those veteran coaches that they are. You know
- 53:34Speaker 8: a lot of times veteran coaches like that really struggle
- 53:37Speaker 8: with the idea of handing the rains to a to
- 53:39Speaker 8: a rookie. But Gray's Abel, to me, has been everything
- 53:42Speaker 8: that the Seahawks could have hope for in terms of
- 53:45Speaker 8: just his mobility, his reliability in pass protection, and then
- 53:51Speaker 8: just the toughness that he has demonstrated. You know, when
- 53:54Speaker 8: Sam darn guy hitting the sideline this layoff game against Houston.
- 53:57Speaker 8: He was Gray's able, the rookie that was over there,
- 53:59Speaker 8: you know, right, kind of trade blow as if necessary.
- 54:02Speaker 8: And so I think that that really is a statement
- 54:05Speaker 8: about who he is and why the Seahawks are very
- 54:07Speaker 8: excited about their their left side of their offensive line specifically.
- 54:13Speaker 8: So I think that you certainly have to start the
- 54:14Speaker 8: conversation there, and then just the upside that is nick
- 54:18Speaker 8: emun worry and I would argue Elijah or Royal as well,
- 54:21Speaker 8: but just focusing on Emon Worri for a moment, I mean,
- 54:23Speaker 8: my goodness, if Seattle's run defense ian has been spectacular
- 54:28Speaker 8: so far to see. I mean, they're number one in
- 54:30Speaker 8: rushing touchdowns allowed, number one in rushing yards allowed. And
- 54:34Speaker 8: I think that nick Eman Moorey's emergency has that strong
- 54:38Speaker 8: safety kind of box safety, and Nickel cornerback has played
- 54:41Speaker 8: a huge role in that. His ability number you know,
- 54:44Speaker 8: you see number three flashing h you know, upfield and
- 54:47Speaker 8: being able to kind of just you know, wrangle guys
- 54:50Speaker 8: to the ground with such physicality is such great length
- 54:54Speaker 8: to be able to kind of wrestle them to the turf.
- 54:56Speaker 8: I think that that again, just kind of brings back
- 54:59Speaker 8: memories of the great cam Chancellor and how he was
- 55:02Speaker 8: a physical intimidator. And he doesn't have an interception yet
- 55:05Speaker 8: you can see it coming and you can see the
- 55:07Speaker 8: instincts out there, and anybody who was watching from the
- 55:10Speaker 8: burm you knows that he had several big plays in
- 55:12Speaker 8: coverage in training camp or excusing during training camp. So
- 55:16Speaker 8: again I think that his his splashy performance in the
- 55:20Speaker 8: secondary in terms of pass coverage is coming. And Elijah
- 55:24Speaker 8: Roy you mentioned eleven catches and doesn't have a lot
- 55:26Speaker 8: of catches, but my goodness, he's had some big ones
- 55:28Speaker 8: and you can just see the athletic ability which he possesses.
- 55:31Speaker 8: I think that he and certainly Aj Barner, the second
- 55:34Speaker 8: year pro, had really kind of revolutionized the tight end
- 55:37Speaker 8: position for the Seahawks. So I think that that's important
- 55:40Speaker 8: when you consider that you know, this has been about
- 55:42Speaker 8: his one dimensional in the passing game as any team
- 55:45Speaker 8: in the league. You know, Jackson Smith and Jacobsen a
- 55:47Speaker 8: superstar obviously, but you vote from his fifty catches to
- 55:51Speaker 8: Cooper Cup's twenty four catches so far this year, you
- 55:55Speaker 8: have to pretty significant drop from your ace so to
- 55:57Speaker 8: speak to your number two guy and Cooper Cup all
- 56:00Speaker 8: due respect has been great, but at the same time,
- 56:02Speaker 8: a lot of his production has actually been as a
- 56:04Speaker 8: run blocker rather than as a pass catcher, with only
- 56:07Speaker 8: one touchdown catch so far. So to me, that's one
- 56:09Speaker 8: of things that to Gordon stands out. You know, we've
- 56:11Speaker 8: only got nine catches on the year, but three of
- 56:13Speaker 8: them have been for scores. Obviously, the longest punt return
- 56:16Speaker 8: touchdown in this franchise is history ninety five yards. I
- 56:19Speaker 8: mean that says a lot about you know, his ability
- 56:21Speaker 8: as well. So yeah, you know, I was excited about
- 56:24Speaker 8: this draft as that happened, I'm even more excited about
- 56:27Speaker 8: what it's providing the Seahawks.
- 56:28Speaker 2: Now and real quick ro when Robbie uts comes back,
- 56:31Speaker 2: and he should be back next week after this bye week,
- 56:34Speaker 2: we saw him make an impact in the run game,
- 56:36Speaker 2: and I think it's safe to say, all do respect
- 56:37Speaker 2: to Brady Russell and the other guys, they try to
- 56:38Speaker 2: fit in there.
- 56:39Speaker 3: Barner sometimes in the backfield. What have you. I think
- 56:41Speaker 3: when Robbie Uatch comes back, that run game is gonna
- 56:43Speaker 3: get better, isn't it. I agree with you.
- 56:46Speaker 8: I just think that the physicality with which he plays. Again,
- 56:50Speaker 8: this is going to be similar to nick Emon Warri
- 56:53Speaker 8: in some ways when you added nick Eman Warrey to
- 56:56Speaker 8: that defense, to Seals defense got faster, they got tougher,
- 57:00Speaker 8: it got nastier, and I think the same thing's gonna
- 57:02Speaker 8: happen to Seattle.
- 57:03Speaker 9: It's running game.
- 57:04Speaker 8: Specifically, you get Robbie Hoots back on the field, and
- 57:06Speaker 8: you're gonna see some more pancake blocks. You're gonna see
- 57:09Speaker 8: some more big opportunities for Zach Sharbay and kamth Walker
- 57:13Speaker 8: the third to be able to break some big runs.
- 57:15Speaker 8: And as you said, he, with all due respect to
- 57:17Speaker 8: Brady Russell, a good quality player. I love the fact
- 57:21Speaker 8: that you know Sharburday's touchdowns. In the past week against Houston,
- 57:24Speaker 8: you saw Brady Russell moving.
- 57:25Speaker 7: The pile a little bit.
- 57:27Speaker 8: But Robbie Hoots hasn't just moved the pile. He bulldozes
- 57:30Speaker 8: the pile. And so again I'm excited to see what
- 57:32Speaker 8: he is able to bring once he gets back on
- 57:34Speaker 8: the field for Seattle.
- 57:35Speaker 2: All right, we'll let you go, Rob, Thank you so much,

- 59:43Speaker 2: was covering the baseball playoffs. Four two five, the Big

- 1:00:25Speaker 2: I like Paul. I like paul a lot. I just
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: I think the best part is he worked for a
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: competing station. He quote tweeted our station account. It's that's
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: even better. Let's see Chris Imburien. Uh, you know what, Chris, No,
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: I'm not gonna read it. It's too close to being
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: refused to talk. Oh two o six, Greg go cell
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: and Humil and Seahawks by week show Must Listen Radio. Yeah,
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: if you missed it earlier in the one o'clock hour,
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: we have Greg on every week.
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: We've had Greg.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: I've had Greg on for about fifteen years. We have
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: Greg on every Friday, we break down the Seahawks opponent.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: He watches the tape like nobody else. We're really lucky.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: He does a handful of local markets and a couple
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: of national shows, and we're lucky. He still does it
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: with us, breaks it down better than anybody. He's also
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: part of the thirty third team, which is kind of
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: that think tank of NFL and college football experts, like
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: football guys. Hugh Millen's part of that too. He's got
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: great respect for him. So this is the second year
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: we've done this. We're in the bye week. I just said,
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: here's Greg and Hugh. Hugh go and they just went
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: for like twenty plus minutes. And if you missed it,
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: we did defense today, Jess. We'll have that podcast later, yep.
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: But we're doing offense on Monday. So seven games in
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: what everyone's thinking about the Seahawk offense breaking it down.
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: We'll talk Walker and Charbonnay on Monday, we'll talk Sam Darnolds,
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: Chang San and so much more. But it was it
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: was epic, man. It was those two guys talking football.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: I could just sit back there. I mean, we're restricted
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: by the world of radio, and we do have like
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: certain amounts of time we have and have to take breaks.
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: But honestly, Jess, we could do that for two or
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: three hours.
- 1:01:59Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, we could.
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:02:02Speaker 10: And you know what, one day we might do a
- 1:02:05Speaker 10: special situation.
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: Yes, one day, one day.
- 1:02:10Speaker 10: A live situation where a limited amount of people could come. Yes,
- 1:02:16Speaker 10: followed by at the podcast of it all, I think
- 1:02:20Speaker 10: we could.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: All do that. I was gonna let me hang on
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: with this real quick. Where was it? Oh? There we go?
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: Could the mirrors of just walk Springer in that situation
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: we're talking about? What Dan? Yeah? Probably. I mean here's
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: the thing.
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: It's sort of watering the bridge now. I I think
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: the if you missed Enos Serrus yesterday our week we
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: visit with him, our final one this scheduled. I thought
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: he had the best explanation of why Dan Wilson screwed
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: up than anybody I've heard. And it wasn't just hey,
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: Bizardo two innings the day before or what have you,
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: or hey, let's go to Muno's. He agreed with all
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: that he thought they should have gone to Munho's, But
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: as he pointed out, and this is this guy, this
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: is what he does.
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: He does a daily podcast called Rates and Barrels.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: A lot of what he does is for the athletic,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: is studying pictures and pitching and all those things. And
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: as he said, there is the research tells you that
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: a picture seeing a hitter or I'm sorry, hitter, he's
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: seeing a picture for the third time in a series
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: is deadly for the picture and really an advantage for
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: the hitter. And that's what they over used Bizardo, not
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: because they overused innings or pitch count. They overused him
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: in terms of Springer knew what he was going to
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: see from Edward of Bizardo. And that's unfair to Bizardo.
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: You know, Munhos hadn't been used as much. That was
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: the time to go to him or Bryce Miller or whatever.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: It just was not the time to go to Bizardo,
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: as he articulated yesterday. That's I think the frustration.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: But we move on. You know what, I forgotten the
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: headlines to just as the World Series starts.
- 1:03:58Speaker 10: Tonight, you know what, and refuse to talk situation. I
- 1:04:04Speaker 10: excluded that for your benefit.
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Appreciate that we got.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: I'm here at the casino before we get Factor fiction.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: I'm wondering if I do I put juice on the
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: JS and just that way. It's the old softy hedge.
- 1:04:18Speaker 3: I may think about doing that. Okay, let's get to it.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: Factor fiction.
- 1:04:20Speaker 7: We're set to go.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: Glad you're with us.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars grand price. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: by Lucky Eagle casino and hotel where every day feels lucky.
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Fact Door Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: three kJ R FM.
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: We need some wins, we need some wins.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: No, this willapt should be at ESPN tomorrow at twelve
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: thirty Pacific time. I'm going to the Southeastern Conference. I
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: am Team Pavia. Sorry, that's just me. I am all
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: over all over my friends, the Commodores from Vanderbilt via Nashville, Tennessee.
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: Jessamine.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: They are taking on Missouri with the call Missouri Missou
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Massou Miszoo is ranked number fifteen in the country. Vanderbilt
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: is ranked number ten in the country. You know what
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: Missou doesn't have. That'side tone field advantage. But they don't
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: have diego Pavia.
- 1:05:31Speaker 10: I like where your loyalty has drawn you here.
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: I like chose side that you.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: I like Pavia.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: I think Pabia is gonna get some Heisman consideration if
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: they win out or keep on winning or get the
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: SEC championship game. He's got over two thousand, over two
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: thousand total yards this season fifteen sixty nine passing, almost
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: five hundred rushing. That includes sacks, by the way in
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: the NCAA.
- 1:05:58Speaker 7: SO I mean, yes, it does. Year.
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: He's the he came out guys had and he's just
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: a baller like he is, just an absolute baller, little
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: guy love him now. My concern is Miszoo Matt Hardy
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: is a problem. Eight under forty yards and eleven touchdowns
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: on the ground this season kind of a problem.
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: But home field.
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: Game day Missouri or Vanderbilt Vanderbilt Vanderbilt Commodore's.
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: Minus three fact four nine four five one.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: If you disagree, I want to go with Miszoo, you
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: go fiction four nine four five one.
- 1:06:28Speaker 3: Jess, Honestly, you know what this has.
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: This this truly has with game day being there tomorrow
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: in Nashville for Vandy and Missoo, it feels it has
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: twenty eighteen pullman vibes to it.
- 1:06:41Speaker 10: That's what we were talking about off the air, is
- 1:06:43Speaker 10: that it does feel like though when Oregon was coming
- 1:06:46Speaker 10: to town.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Oregon was ranked. Oregon was ranked higher. Right
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: that day, they were ranked higher.
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: We were ranked.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: We were close to the top ten, but we were ranked,
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: but we were they were ranked higher. But yeah, this has,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: this has I mean, that's a special thing when those
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: guys come to town for it's Alabama or Georgia or
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: Ohio State where they go all the time.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: It's a special thing.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: Now you gotta get jacked up and then you're gonna
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: take it down back, take a breath, and then it's
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: four hours later you play the game. I get that,
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: But I think these guys are gonna be rare to go.
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: Man.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: I like Vanderbilt. They keep proving people wrong. They're six
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: and one overall two and it's gonna be two and
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: one in the SEC.
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: They go to.
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: Alabama, put on a hell of a show, fall just
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: short for their only SEC loss.
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: I love Vanderbilt. I think this also, it's a good story.
- 1:07:31Speaker 10: Well, let's talk about their history of being basically nothing
- 1:07:34Speaker 10: in the.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: The worst team traditionally in the SEC and the worst
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: team traditionally in the Big Ten. Vanderbilt and Indiana respectively
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: are having unbelievable years this year, and it's pretty cool now.
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: Vanderbilt schedules a little light, a little light so far.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: But they did beat LSU last week thirty one to
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: twenty four.
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: Yes they did, and I'm all over this one.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: So again, it's Vanderbilt minus three. The Commodores pavia Mania
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: fact four nine four to five one if discrete fiction
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: four nine four five one.
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: Here's the deal.

- 1:09:14Speaker 7: Get over it? And honor of Paul Moyer.
- 1:09:17Speaker 3: Oh my god, so good.
- 1:09:20Speaker 7: I was gonna ask you how you're doing.
- 1:09:21Speaker 12: Man. I got a phone call from a buddy of
- 1:09:23Speaker 12: mine today, just Siday. It's been a few days. I
- 1:09:25Speaker 12: want to check in with you and see how you're
- 1:09:27Speaker 12: doing after Monday. And I said, I don't know. I mean,
- 1:09:30Speaker 12: I'm doing fine. Paul Moyer says, we got to get
- 1:09:32Speaker 12: over it. So I'm over it, man, forget it. I
- 1:09:34Speaker 12: don't care anymore.
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: Did he get over it? Super Bowl forty nine on?
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: Don't you ask him?
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: Once?
- 1:09:40Speaker 7: You asked Paul Moyer?
- 1:09:42Speaker 3: Who?
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: I gotta be honest with you.
- 1:09:43Speaker 12: I actually really do kind of like Paul to be honest,
- 1:09:46Speaker 12: you know, I went to college with his wife, for
- 1:09:49Speaker 12: God's sakes thirty five years ago. Partied with him in
- 1:09:53Speaker 12: New Orleans in the nineties with with the Graze when
- 1:09:57Speaker 12: Holme Grin was in there against the pain Itch. But
- 1:10:00Speaker 12: that was one of the dumbest things a guy could
- 1:10:03Speaker 12: say on social media in our town. Yes days after
- 1:10:07Speaker 12: that game, tell Amerna fans like us to get over it.
- 1:10:10Speaker 7: So why don't you take a hike? How does that sound?
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: As everyone is still kind of just licking their but
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: like everyone it's it's like mourning.
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, one mourns differently.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: Well, Listen, if I was through the different stages of
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: grief different.
- 1:10:24Speaker 12: If I was at a ten on the depression scale
- 1:10:26Speaker 12: on Tuesday morning, I would say, I'm about a seven
- 1:10:29Speaker 12: and a half or an eight right now. And then
- 1:10:31Speaker 12: I walk into the studio and the TV's on. The
- 1:10:33Speaker 12: first thing I see is a damn World series preview
- 1:10:36Speaker 12: and I'm right back to it nine and a half again, right,
- 1:10:39Speaker 12: So you know, like on social media, you go on Twitter,
- 1:10:41Speaker 12: you can mute like certain.
- 1:10:42Speaker 7: Words from appearing on your timeline. I've done that already.
- 1:10:46Speaker 12: Oh, Jay's World series Springer Toronto Rogers Center, which has
- 1:10:54Speaker 12: spelled incorrectly because Canadians can't spell no, no, it's not cent.
- 1:11:02Speaker 12: All of that has been blocked on my time. I
- 1:11:05Speaker 12: just don't want to do it. I don't want to
- 1:11:06Speaker 12: see it. And if that makes me, you know, so
- 1:11:08Speaker 12: offt if it makes me a chump, I don't give
- 1:11:11Speaker 12: a damn what you think. I really don't give a
- 1:11:12Speaker 12: damn Paul Moyer thinks either. So if Paul Moyer, who
- 1:11:16Speaker 12: works on the Mariner's flagship station as a Seahawk analyst,
- 1:11:19Speaker 12: thinks it's a good idea to go on social media
- 1:11:21Speaker 12: and tell fans to get over it two days after
- 1:11:24Speaker 12: the most heartbreaking loss in Mariner history, man, then be
- 1:11:28Speaker 12: my guest pal. If that's the best career move for you,
- 1:11:31Speaker 12: then go for it.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: Seems odd that in our business of sports radio, and
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: no matter if you're an analyst or a host or
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: whatever your role is, telling fans to get over their emotions,
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: aren't we doing aren't we servicing the emotions?
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: And of course, of course I thought, of course.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: I'm not the smartest. I'm not the smartest tool of shit.
- 1:11:51Speaker 12: You know that that is true. We often talk about
- 1:11:54Speaker 12: who the dumbest person is here? And you kind of
- 1:11:56Speaker 12: usually take the.
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: Care and I would, I would, but I'm thinking of myself.
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: Let's see, what do we do for a living? All right?
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: That's right? We we cater to the.
- 1:12:05Speaker 7: Emotions, Yes, the sports correct correct.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: Telling a fan not to have emotions just seems counterintuitive
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: to whatever. Man, whatever, you do your thing. So my question,
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: here's my question to you. Yeah, before I leave this,
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: No'll call me casino. Yes, ye, put some juice.
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: On the Jays.
- 1:12:23Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I just look, you know, if the
- 1:12:25Speaker 12: Dodgers win, you'll be happy. If the Blue Jays win,
- 1:12:28Speaker 12: you got a couple of bucks in your pocket. Not
- 1:12:30Speaker 12: that you'd be thrilled if the Blue Jays win the
- 1:12:33Speaker 12: World Series, but you know, I mean, if you're gonna
- 1:12:36Speaker 12: suffer the pain of having them win the whole damn thing,
- 1:12:38Speaker 12: you may as well get compensated for it.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: That's kind of what I know.
- 1:12:42Speaker 12: Not that that would make you feel any better, you know,
- 1:12:44Speaker 12: it depends on how much you put on them. But yeah,
- 1:12:47Speaker 12: just it's the it's the emotional hedge, and I've been
- 1:12:49Speaker 12: I've been playing it for years. Man, I've been playing
- 1:12:52Speaker 12: the emotional mental hedge and the Apple Cup, the Oregon
- 1:12:56Speaker 12: You dub game, UH Seahawk playoff games, hust Bowl games.
- 1:13:02Speaker 12: I've been playing the mental emotional heads for decades. So look,
- 1:13:06Speaker 12: I like being happy. I like being pleased, and I'm
- 1:13:10Speaker 12: not nearly as pleased as I am when my teams win.
- 1:13:14Speaker 12: But if I'm going to be a miserable les ob,
- 1:13:16Speaker 12: then I may as well have a couple of bucks
- 1:13:18Speaker 12: on my pocket for the effort.
- 1:13:19Speaker 7: That's my that's that's my perspective.
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: Blue Jay is currently plus two ten.
- 1:13:24Speaker 12: Put a hundred bucks out of the wind the whole thing. Yeah,
- 1:13:26Speaker 12: take them a couple hundred bucks. I mean, I just
- 1:13:29Speaker 12: look at it this way. Would you pay one hundred
- 1:13:30Speaker 12: dollars for the Dodgers to win the World Series and
- 1:13:33Speaker 12: not have Toronto win the World Series? I would, But
- 1:13:36Speaker 12: that's just me. I'm not expecting you to be as
- 1:13:38Speaker 12: crazy as I am.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: But I'm not quite that crazy.
- 1:13:40Speaker 7: I would do that.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: I would not that. I'm not that.
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: I just even like I was doing the headlines. She
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: writes the headlines because I'm not capable, which is nice.
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: I do appreciate you doing that for me, and I
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: did the second set of headlines. We're talking to Rag
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: and I'm thinking what did I forget? Oh, as I'm
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: looking up at one of the TVs here at hawksbeak, like,
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: oh yeah, the World Series starts.
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: Fan, I was faring.
- 1:13:59Speaker 12: I wonder how many people are actually gonna watch it tonight?
- 1:14:01Speaker 12: And I wonder is the uh uh is the Mariner flagship?
- 1:14:04Speaker 12: Are they carrying the games?
- 1:14:06Speaker 7: Do we know?
- 1:14:06Speaker 3: Because if I'm them, they didn't carry Game seven?
- 1:14:09Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
- 1:14:12Speaker 3: The man of flagship didn't carry Game seven in the ALCS,
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: so why was it carrying? Will Buddy? That is true?
- 1:14:17Speaker 7: That is Truechise.
- 1:14:21Speaker 12: Look, look, I don't want to hear it at all, right,
- 1:14:24Speaker 12: I got no interest in it, you know, like I
- 1:14:26Speaker 12: told Dick and Jackson yesterday. Maybe I'll get a notification
- 1:14:28Speaker 12: on my phone that the Blue Jays are down fifteen
- 1:14:31Speaker 12: nothing and I'll turn it on.
- 1:14:32Speaker 7: But outside of that, I'm out. I got no desire
- 1:14:34Speaker 7: to watch.
- 1:14:35Speaker 3: No, I'm just seriously, just get over it. Will just
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: get over.
- 1:14:38Speaker 12: It, okay, Paul, I'm working on a Paul, Mister Moyer,
- 1:14:43Speaker 12: I'm trying to get over a pal I really am.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: Buddy, Oh oh god, are you looking for the little
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: rant and husky?
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: Statedium who's that benefit?
- 1:14:50Speaker 12: By the way I I, Well, I would think it
- 1:14:52Speaker 12: benefits us because Illinois likes to throw the football around
- 1:14:56Speaker 12: with that Hank Baby and that Luke Altmeyer the quarterback.
- 1:14:58Speaker 12: They gotta they gotta fly put ten wide receiver who's
- 1:15:01Speaker 12: an SOB, So I would think it neutralizes them.
- 1:15:04Speaker 7: A little bit more than us.
- 1:15:05Speaker 12: But uh yeah, he's six three and a half yards
- 1:15:10Speaker 12: of carrying the big ten so far this year. Well
- 1:15:13Speaker 12: what happened to him is they lost two thirds of
- 1:15:15Speaker 12: their or two fifths of their offensive line, which is
- 1:15:17Speaker 12: really good. They're They're two best linemen I think by far,
- 1:15:21Speaker 12: are Carver Willison John Mills, and they've been banged up.
- 1:15:24Speaker 12: So hopefully they're back, Yes, hopefully they're back tomorrow.
- 1:15:26Speaker 7: Man.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: But all right, what's coming up today?
- 1:15:28Speaker 12: I'm just gonna spend the next four hours trying to
- 1:15:30Speaker 12: get over the Mariner loss. Uh So we'll see if
- 1:15:32Speaker 12: I can do it by seven o'clock today. Least Sterling's
- 1:15:35Speaker 12: on today, Humillon's on today, Bill Krueger's on today, Rick
- 1:15:39Speaker 12: Neuheisel as well, John Wilner, Brian Schmetzer.
- 1:15:43Speaker 7: We've got a lot going on today.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: Man.
- 1:15:44Speaker 12: We're gonna look to by the way, extend our starting
- 1:15:47Speaker 12: to become a significant lead in Factor fiction, at least
- 1:15:50Speaker 12: over your show.
- 1:15:51Speaker 7: I mean, it's kind of getting embarrassing now, to be
- 1:15:53Speaker 7: honest with you, so.
- 1:15:55Speaker 3: Listen, it's not kind of all right, it is.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Struggling out of your fri admitting then I got a
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: win today, though I got I got Vandy com.
- 1:16:04Speaker 12: He went with new Heidel's pick. He took Vandy also,
- 1:16:06Speaker 12: did he really? You must have been Don't act like
- 1:16:08Speaker 12: he didn't listen.
- 1:16:08Speaker 7: On the way home yesterday. You heard everything he said.
- 1:16:11Speaker 3: I was on TV and the way home home.
- 1:16:14Speaker 12: I'm convinced that I'm convinced that you have an ear
- 1:16:16Speaker 12: piece in your ear during the pregame show listening to
- 1:16:20Speaker 12: the Rick new Heidel's segment to rip off his pick.
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: Actually, that's the last thing I would do. I'd go
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: the other way round based on his picks normally.
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: So now now you know.
- 1:16:27Speaker 7: Why I'm he's won three in a row. He's in
- 1:16:30Speaker 7: a row.
- 1:16:30Speaker 3: Now you know why the last place Factor fix.
- 1:16:34Speaker 7: Get a mild manners and marginally objectionable in forness. This
- 1:16:38Speaker 7: is paddle day saying so long everyone,
