- 0:56Speaker 2: final minute to get a two to one win on
- 0:59Speaker 2: the power play, bring the record to two and one.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Early in the season, finally somebody scored a home team,
- 1:02Speaker 2: scored a goal, come and played aer in. It have
- 1:04Speaker 2: been a while. Next up, I got a few weeks
- 1:07Speaker 2: off before December seventeenth game against Ottawa. Julian ruh Love
- 1:11Speaker 2: named the Seahawks Walter Payton Man of the Year award
- 1:14Speaker 2: winner and the running down for the leagu's Man of
- 1:17Speaker 2: the Year where he may play on Sunday. We'll talk
- 1:18Speaker 2: about about about that with Corbin in a second. Let's see,
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm gonna skip down here. Oh, portal seasons underway. Did
- 1:26Speaker 2: you guys know that Jackson Potter transferring from Washington State
- 1:29Speaker 2: into the portal? I guess it's gonna take all those
- 1:31Speaker 2: interceptions somewhere else. Good, how far to see it? Let's
- 1:34Speaker 2: get to Corbyn Smith.
- 1:37Speaker 1: It's time to take a deep dive into all things
- 1:40Speaker 1: Seahawks with Corbyn Smith, sports reporter for Emerald City Spectrum.
- 1:44Speaker 1: All Seattle Sports, all the time, brought to you by
- 1:47Speaker 1: Jim Elliott with Windemere Real Estate, helping home buyers and
- 1:50Speaker 1: home sellers in Western Washington.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Whether you're buying or selling.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Contact Jim at two O six seven six nine five
- 1:57Speaker 1: four six six or at Jim that's sold by Jim
- 2:00Speaker 1: dot com.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Now with Gorbyn Smith, here's.
- 2:03Speaker 2: He and bitter petty me. Not at all. Really, I
- 2:09Speaker 2: could never tell, but you know what, I would just
- 2:11Speaker 2: advise Jackson Potter to whatever he does. Don't let anybody
- 2:14Speaker 2: see the Texas State game tape because unless you want
- 2:18Speaker 2: to go listen, Coach Samburg will take you, probably whitworth
- 2:21Speaker 2: right now. You can go play D three. They've been
- 2:22Speaker 2: winning titles every year, so you can go do that
- 2:24Speaker 2: up there. But yeah, you think you want to power five, buddy? Okay,
- 2:27Speaker 2: Corbas Smith joins us right now. Hello sir, how are you?
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'm good, Thanks for me as always. All right, buddy,
- 2:33Speaker 2: let's get to it. Julian Love just named the Walter
- 2:36Speaker 2: Payton Man of the Year for the Seahawks nominee for
- 2:38Speaker 2: the League Award as well. Also in the news conference,
- 2:41Speaker 2: talking about whether or not he's going to play this weekend,
- 2:43Speaker 2: a quote of plans in place. I'm gonna ask you this.
- 2:48Speaker 2: I know every week's tough, it's the NFL and all that.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Do you really need Julian love against Atlanta Corbyn.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Look, if they have any doubts about where he's at
- 2:59Speaker 4: or they think he needs another week, then you do it.
- 3:01Speaker 4: And that's not that's not taking a shot at the
- 3:04Speaker 4: Atlanta Falcons. I think even if you were playing against
- 3:08Speaker 4: somebody like say the Rams, you would have to you
- 3:12Speaker 4: just look soft tissue injuries you don't want to mess with.
- 3:15Speaker 4: And if you have any concerns that he's gonna need
- 3:17Speaker 4: a little bit more time, you do it. Especially because look,
- 3:21Speaker 4: you've got Taya Kata who's playing good football. You have
- 3:24Speaker 4: Quandre Diggs now on your practice squad that you can elevate.
- 3:27Speaker 4: They have guys in place that they can get by
- 3:30Speaker 4: for another week if they need to.
- 3:32Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens.
- 3:33Speaker 4: If he has a really good week at practice, then
- 3:35Speaker 4: the Seahawks don't have a difficult decision to make. They
- 3:37Speaker 4: can get him ready to play on Sunday. But if
- 3:40Speaker 4: they have any hesitation, then if I, at least if
- 3:43Speaker 4: I was in the coaching staff, I would be saying, look,
- 3:46Speaker 4: we're gonna hold out one more week and we're gonna
- 3:48Speaker 4: make sure you're here for the last last four games.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Cormyn a few days later, heading into Atlanta. But after
- 3:55Speaker 2: the game against Minnesota, the twenty six nothing shut out, Jackson,
- 3:59Speaker 2: Smith and Jigmud didn't do much in that game offensively.
- 4:01Speaker 2: The offense frankly didn't have to do anything. When you
- 4:03Speaker 2: pitch a shutout, I have a pick six and all
- 4:06Speaker 2: the other things. But in a general sense, where are
- 4:12Speaker 2: we with this team in your mind right now? NFL
- 4:15Speaker 2: dot Com, I think him has the number two in
- 4:17Speaker 2: the power rankings and so forth. What for you are
- 4:20Speaker 2: the things that would say, yeah, they're probably the second
- 4:23Speaker 2: best team in the NFL, And what are some things
- 4:25Speaker 2: that would be red flags and say, hey, I'm not
- 4:27Speaker 2: quite sure if I'm ready to go there yet.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Yeah, the defense is easily the biggest reason why number
- 4:33Speaker 4: two seems just about right. I mean, they're getting outstanding
- 4:37Speaker 4: play at all three levels.
- 4:40Speaker 2: They've had injuries that it has not mattered.
- 4:42Speaker 4: They just have guys that step in and continue to
- 4:45Speaker 4: play at a high level.
- 4:46Speaker 2: They have great depth.
- 4:47Speaker 4: The scheme that Mike McDonald runs is fantastic, and now
- 4:52Speaker 4: guys in year two Eli he has a year two
- 4:53Speaker 4: with him. It just seems like everything is coming together
- 4:57Speaker 4: on that side of the football. They have a Super
- 4:59Speaker 4: Bowl with caliber defense. So from that perspective at number two,
- 5:04Speaker 4: and I even think the run game is starting to
- 5:06Speaker 4: show signs of life. We're not looking at four straight
- 5:08Speaker 4: games the Seahawks have had one hundred plus rushing yards.
- 5:11Speaker 4: That's the longest streak they've had this entire season. So
- 5:14Speaker 4: even though it's not, you know, a perfect run game,
- 5:17Speaker 4: and there's still a lot of work to do in
- 5:19Speaker 4: that front, they're improving there.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I think the.
- 5:21Speaker 4: Biggest question mark is is the offensive line going to
- 5:25Speaker 4: be able to continue to play the way they did
- 5:27Speaker 4: the first eight or nine games the season. Because we've
- 5:29Speaker 4: seen a little bit of regressional teams are getting more
- 5:32Speaker 4: aggressive going after Sam Darnold and quick Kubiak hasn't necessarily
- 5:36Speaker 4: shown that he has been the most adept at making
- 5:40Speaker 4: adjustments when that happens.
- 5:41Speaker 2: So can they get that passing.
- 5:44Speaker 4: Game back close to hubbing where it was at with
- 5:46Speaker 4: this improving run game. If they can do that, then
- 5:50Speaker 4: this is absolutely a Super Bowl contender. If the passing
- 5:53Speaker 4: game keeps stalling out and flatlining, I don't know if
- 5:56Speaker 4: this ceiling is getting past the first or second.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Run out of the postseason. I mean, when you just
- 6:03Speaker 2: look at the standings, Corbyn. The craziest thing is is
- 6:06Speaker 2: how this could all shake out. You know, right San
- 6:09Speaker 2: Francisco sitting as a seventh seed right now would play
- 6:11Speaker 2: La the Rams in the first round. Seattle and Tampa.
- 6:15Speaker 2: I'm like, if you don't win the division, but you
- 6:18Speaker 2: go to Tampa, I like that matchup. What about you?
- 6:20Speaker 2: I know they lost to him earlier this year, but
- 6:21Speaker 2: I like this Seattle team what I'm seeing right now
- 6:23Speaker 2: better than that team that saw Tampa back in September
- 6:26Speaker 2: or I guess early October.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Yeah, and both these teams are different than when they
- 6:30Speaker 4: played in that game. Seattle had I believe three starters
- 6:33Speaker 4: in the secondary that were out. Tampa Bay's had a
- 6:36Speaker 4: bunch of injuries since that game. On offense, they have
- 6:40Speaker 4: not looked anything remotely close to the team that came
- 6:43Speaker 4: to Seattle. So look, I would think to see Auks
- 6:46Speaker 4: had a really good chance if they had played in
- 6:48Speaker 4: Tampa Bay. And then with the way this team plays
- 6:50Speaker 4: on the road in general, it might be one of
- 6:53Speaker 4: those few teams and say, hey we're fine being a
- 6:54Speaker 4: wild card. We can go somewhere else and play really
- 6:58Speaker 4: good football. So the chance to get that number one
- 7:02Speaker 4: seed It's been a long time since we've been talking
- 7:04Speaker 4: about the Seattle Seahawks this late in the season, having
- 7:06Speaker 4: an opportunity to get that top seed. Everything is in
- 7:10Speaker 4: front of him to get that coveted bye week and
- 7:13Speaker 4: have home field advantage at Loumenfield.
- 7:16Speaker 2: It is Cormus Smith joining US Emerald City Spectrum, Emberal
- 7:18Speaker 2: City Spectrum dot com. We had Nicki min Worry on
- 7:22Speaker 2: the show yesterday. He joineds out the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
- 7:25Speaker 2: He joined me and sat down for a while, and
- 7:27Speaker 2: first of all, a ton of fun to talk to
- 7:29Speaker 2: this guy, really engaging young man. I was just impressed
- 7:32Speaker 2: by him all the way around. And he's got a
- 7:34Speaker 2: little bit of I was walking out with Curtis Crabtree
- 7:36Speaker 2: from Fox thirteen. On the way out he's and we
- 7:38Speaker 2: were talking about him. He goes, you know the thing
- 7:40Speaker 2: about even where he is interesting, He's very engaging. He's
- 7:42Speaker 2: very confident, borderline arrogant, which I kind of like from
- 7:45Speaker 2: a dB. You've watched this guy's his training camp, you
- 7:48Speaker 2: watched his tape coming out of college. You see him now,
- 7:50Speaker 2: how he's evolving. Where is he now compared to where
- 7:53Speaker 2: he was on tape in college, through training camp, and
- 7:56Speaker 2: obviously health is a big part of it. But where
- 7:58Speaker 2: is this kid right now in terms of what he
- 8:00Speaker 2: means to that scale defense?
- 8:02Speaker 4: The crazy thing is in he is still I don't
- 8:05Speaker 4: even know if he's scratching the surface yet, like that's
- 8:08Speaker 4: the kind of talent that we are talking about. But
- 8:12Speaker 4: he is becoming more and more comfortable with his coverage assignments.
- 8:15Speaker 4: That was maybe the biggest thing I was noticing when
- 8:18Speaker 4: he came back from the ankle injuries.
- 8:19Speaker 2: There were a few times where you'd.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Look out there and it felt like he might not
- 8:23Speaker 4: necessarily be sure.
- 8:24Speaker 2: On what he's supposed to do.
- 8:26Speaker 4: There's some complexities to the way that the Hawks run
- 8:28Speaker 4: their coverage and didn't necessarily pay for it with big
- 8:32Speaker 4: plays over the top or anything. But there were sometimes
- 8:34Speaker 4: you could tell that he was kind of unsure and
- 8:36Speaker 4: he was out a position that's becoming less and less
- 8:39Speaker 4: visible on film. He is a very natural blitzer, which
- 8:44Speaker 4: South Carolina did not do that with him very much.
- 8:46Speaker 4: But Mike McDonald sure is he's letting him loose. He's
- 8:49Speaker 4: letting him get after the quarterback. And you don't talk
- 8:52Speaker 4: about a guy that can blow up screens. I mean,
- 8:54Speaker 4: he has been decapitating lead walkers on screens this year.
- 8:59Speaker 2: And the play that really jumped out to me.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Ian You may remember the Washington game, and we know
- 9:04Speaker 4: how many times Deebo sam over the years has killed
- 9:06Speaker 4: the Seahawks with his after the catch capability and breaking tackles.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Nicki min Worri was getting blocked and reached out with
- 9:13Speaker 4: one arm and brought him down for like a two
- 9:16Speaker 4: yard loss on a screen, Like I don't know that
- 9:20Speaker 4: I've ever seen anybody do that to Deebo Samuel. That's
- 9:22Speaker 4: the kind of player that we're talking about here. You
- 9:25Speaker 4: can tell that he's playing with a lot of confidence,
- 9:27Speaker 4: and I think maybe the most exciting thing is you
- 9:30Speaker 4: can tell all the veteran players now they're really trying
- 9:33Speaker 4: to further pick him up because they know just how
- 9:36Speaker 4: good he can be with all the pieces they've already
- 9:39Speaker 4: got in this defense. So that's a scary thing. Again,
- 9:42Speaker 4: I don't even know if he's scratching the surface. There
- 9:44Speaker 4: is an incredibly high ceiling that probably goes to another
- 9:48Speaker 4: galaxy with this kid with his physical tool.
- 9:50Speaker 2: I agree really excited to watch watch what he could
- 9:53Speaker 2: be doing in the next couple of years.
- 9:56Speaker 4: I'll say this, and I've said this on a couple
- 9:58Speaker 4: of podcasts, so this is the first time that I've
- 10:01Speaker 4: said it. And look, I maybe I'll look foolish down
- 10:04Speaker 4: the line, but I'm still saying that Nick even Worri
- 10:07Speaker 4: is going to be wearing a gold jacket.
- 10:09Speaker 2: I am saying that right now.
- 10:10Speaker 4: I have been saying that since training camp opened and
- 10:14Speaker 4: I got my first look at this kid. I think
- 10:15Speaker 4: that's the kind of ceiling we're looking at with Nicki
- 10:18Speaker 4: min Worri.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Let me let me ask you about a guy the
- 10:20Speaker 2: other end of the spectrum. We're still waiting to see
- 10:21Speaker 2: Rashid Shihed break out four games, four catches. Obviously it's
- 10:25Speaker 2: part of the return game as well. What do they
- 10:28Speaker 2: need to do to get him more involved? And can
- 10:30Speaker 2: they get him more involved? It feels like it's a
- 10:31Speaker 2: necessity at some point.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Yeah, they're going to have to have that secondary weapon
- 10:36Speaker 4: that has the ability to win downfield, especially with Tory
- 10:39Speaker 4: Horton not being healthy right now. I think that's been
- 10:43Speaker 4: a really significant loss for this offense, not having Tory
- 10:46Speaker 4: Horton out there. I think the biggest issue is just
- 10:49Speaker 4: been trying to get chemistry built up in the middle
- 10:51Speaker 4: of the season between Sam Darnald and Chet. It's not
- 10:54Speaker 4: like he hasn't been getting open.
- 10:56Speaker 2: There was that.
- 10:56Speaker 4: Touchdown that should have happened in La that Donald didn't
- 11:00Speaker 4: quite put enough air under, and it was a really
- 11:02Speaker 4: good play by Emmanuel Forbes too. But I just keep
- 11:05Speaker 4: waiting because I feel like there's gonna be It feels
- 11:09Speaker 4: like a volcano with this kid right now. It feels
- 11:11Speaker 4: like it's brewing. It's brewing, it's brewing. I'm just waiting
- 11:15Speaker 4: for that eruption. Maybe it happens this weekend against a
- 11:19Speaker 4: familiar foe. He has played a lot of games against
- 11:21Speaker 4: the Atlanta Falcons. Maybe this is the week that.
- 11:23Speaker 2: We see Rashid Shaheed break loose.
- 11:25Speaker 4: But it just feels like it is a matter of
- 11:28Speaker 4: time till that's gonna be happening.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Should Seattle be concerned at all about Atlanta this weekend?
- 11:34Speaker 4: The only reason that I would say yes is because
- 11:36Speaker 4: of their run game. I think Bijon Robinson and Tyler
- 11:39Speaker 4: Algier are as good of a win two punch you're gonna.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Find in the league.
- 11:42Speaker 4: If Atlanta can run the ball and they can get
- 11:45Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins some play action opportunities. They've got a solid
- 11:49Speaker 4: pass rush on defense. If Atlanta gets some points early,
- 11:52Speaker 4: that can play into that. But Seattle should win this game.
- 11:57Speaker 4: I don't think that this is that dangerous of a team,
- 12:00Speaker 4: especially without Drake London. It looks like he's not going
- 12:02Speaker 4: to be back this week. They're hurting at the skill
- 12:04Speaker 4: positions on the outside now too.
- 12:06Speaker 2: All right, if you are a fan of any or
- 12:09Speaker 2: all of the following Seahawks, Mariners, Kraken, Sounders, Storm Huskies, Cougar's, Gonzaga,
- 12:16Speaker 2: Sea Wolves, Rain, Torrent, any of those teams you're a
- 12:19Speaker 2: fan of or all of those teams or a lot
- 12:21Speaker 2: of those teams, Emerald City Spectrum, tell us about what
- 12:24Speaker 2: you got going on right now.
- 12:26Speaker 4: Yeah, we've been adding a few new teams to the mix. Literally,
- 12:30Speaker 4: you are getting all Seattle sports all the time. We've
- 12:33Speaker 4: got some Torrent content that's on the site. We're going
- 12:36Speaker 4: to be adding some Seattle RedHawks basketball to the equation
- 12:40Speaker 4: here soon. I mean, and nextally got a pretty good
- 12:42Speaker 4: team this year. They've already knocked off Stanford and I

- 14:01Speaker 2: joining me right now Beacon Plumbing Hotline. A tradition like
- 14:04Speaker 2: no other. It goes back to my days in Portland.
- 14:06Speaker 2: So we're talking twenty plus years. I think there was
- 14:09Speaker 2: like two or three websites and things and changes since then.
- 14:12Speaker 2: For my guy, Brendon Huffman, now twenty four to seven Sports,
- 14:15Speaker 2: the recruiting guru all things college football recruiting, joined us
- 14:18Speaker 2: for his annual and now it's say twice a year
- 14:21Speaker 2: visit for recruiting, since there's now two signing days. He's
- 14:25Speaker 2: with us right now. Hey, buddy, how are you.
- 14:27Speaker 6: I'm doing all right. I mean, we have to change
- 14:29Speaker 6: traditions with the move, but we still cover recruiting. We
- 14:33Speaker 6: still covered it and I found a refreshment too.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I gotta tell I gotta fillow people in it.
- 14:38Speaker 2: So you've had a tradition forever when you were and
- 14:41Speaker 2: they've been Brent. The Huffman family just moved down to Arizona.
- 14:43Speaker 2: There's some kids going to Arizona State and I don't
- 14:45Speaker 2: know why you don't like the weather here. It's beautiful today. Anyway,
- 14:49Speaker 2: you guys moved down to Arizona, and but before that,
- 14:53Speaker 2: you had a tradition every year once letter of intent
- 14:56Speaker 2: Day or signing day or whatever we're calling it. This
- 14:58Speaker 2: year was done. After you did all your media obligations,
- 15:00Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven sports stuff, came on KJR
- 15:03Speaker 2: and talked to me, what was your tradition.
- 15:06Speaker 6: My tradition was to end the evening with a pint
- 15:09Speaker 6: or two of Manny's every single Sinny day. And it
- 15:14Speaker 6: just didn't feel right. It didn't feel right at all.
- 15:17Speaker 6: And I really missed an opportunity to have my daughter
- 15:19Speaker 6: from Seattle come down last week, and I should have
- 15:21Speaker 6: had a brimea growler, so I could have kept the tradition.
- 15:24Speaker 2: You know people there, I know people there. We could
- 15:26Speaker 2: have made that happen. So next time she heads down
- 15:28Speaker 2: there for Christmas or whatever, let's do that. Because if
- 15:31Speaker 2: nobody likes his Manny's more than our guy Huffman who
- 15:34Speaker 2: joined us, Okay, it's over, right, first signing period, it's over.
- 15:38Speaker 2: We're done. You can just sit back and relax with
- 15:39Speaker 2: your feet up.
- 15:41Speaker 6: I wish we still actually it's a signing period, and
- 15:43Speaker 6: so we still have until Friday, and there's still some
- 15:46Speaker 6: kind of outstanding commitments that have been made but signatures
- 15:49Speaker 6: haven't been submitted. Then we get a little bit of
- 15:52Speaker 6: a break until January second, when the portal officially opens.
- 15:55Speaker 6: Then we got two weeks of that. Then we go
- 15:56Speaker 6: back to the early signing day or the traditional signy
- 15:59Speaker 6: day first Wednesday of February in twenty twenty six. So
- 16:03Speaker 6: we're at the halfway point and waiting out some of
- 16:06Speaker 6: the drama that kind of sums up exactly where recruiting
- 16:09Speaker 6: and where college football is at in twenty twenty five.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Where is it at in twenty twenty five? Because this
- 16:13Speaker 2: isn't it. It's not just the two signing the ags.
- 16:15Speaker 2: It's all the portal stuff you got to deal with
- 16:17Speaker 2: now too. So where are we with all this? How
- 16:18Speaker 2: important is this signing period that started yesterday and ends
- 16:22Speaker 2: on Friday? How important is the next one? And the portal?
- 16:25Speaker 7: Like?
- 16:25Speaker 2: Where how would your rank all these basically kind of
- 16:27Speaker 2: three big things? Now?
- 16:30Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I would say the way that you
- 16:32Speaker 6: see programs that can get healthy really quick by making
- 16:35Speaker 6: great portal acquisitions has probably pushed the portal into at
- 16:39Speaker 6: least one a with the early signing period the traditional
- 16:42Speaker 6: signing day in February, that's a distant third. I mean,
- 16:45Speaker 6: it's very very few schools that'll be trying to find guys,
- 16:48Speaker 6: maybe some late guys that fill out their class, and
- 16:51Speaker 6: they'll have a better idea of that knowing what they
- 16:53Speaker 6: missed out on in the portal during those two weeks
- 16:55Speaker 6: in January, or who leaves in that time in two
- 16:57Speaker 6: weeks in January, So there may be some late offer,
- 17:00Speaker 6: But this one's still important. And the reason is is
- 17:02Speaker 6: because if you look at the teams that have competed
- 17:04Speaker 6: and won the national championship the last couple of years, Yeah,
- 17:07Speaker 6: they'd had a couple portal guys here and there, but
- 17:09Speaker 6: the majority of the nucleus of those teams and those
- 17:11Speaker 6: starters were homegrown guys that those schools recruited. So it's
- 17:15Speaker 6: still the most important part of the process is recruiting.
- 17:19Speaker 6: And what I also think you're going to see is
- 17:21Speaker 6: with revenue sharing, guys are getting locked into deals and
- 17:24Speaker 6: there are a lot more multi year deals than they
- 17:26Speaker 6: were before, so you're not seeing as many top thing
- 17:29Speaker 6: guys expected to go into the portal come January, as
- 17:32Speaker 6: there may have been in the previous couple of years
- 17:34Speaker 6: when there weren't maybe any bard rails in place. Now
- 17:38Speaker 6: guys are going to get better deals, more money if
- 17:41Speaker 6: they're committing to two or three years, if not longer.
- 17:44Speaker 6: So yesterday was still very important. You want your core
- 17:48Speaker 6: nucleus to be the guys that you recruited and develop.
- 17:51Speaker 6: But the portal is certainly closing the gap a bit,
- 17:54Speaker 6: especially for like the quick fix.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Help Brendan huffinv with his twenty four to seven Sports
- 18:00Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to Washington. Certainly Husky fans will get
- 18:02Speaker 2: to your thought hit Ren's thoughts on your class, the
- 18:05Speaker 2: other big ten schools that you care about. We'll get
- 18:07Speaker 2: some Wazoo thoughts in there as well, maybe even the
- 18:11Speaker 2: new Pac twelve as a whole. And Huff this is
- 18:14Speaker 2: a bigger discussion at some point. Maybe we'll do this
- 18:16Speaker 2: in the spring or even you know, later in the
- 18:19Speaker 2: winter time in February when the National title game's over.
- 18:22Speaker 2: So explain the folks the guardrails or the difference in
- 18:26Speaker 2: the portal now than the past years, and if that's
- 18:29Speaker 2: better or same or if it's improved the process at all.
- 18:33Speaker 6: Well, you're always going to have situations where there's still
- 18:37Speaker 6: going to be a guy who is maybe playing at
- 18:40Speaker 6: a G five scool or at an FCS school that
- 18:42Speaker 6: realizes his value is going to increase because somebody's going
- 18:45Speaker 6: to be desperate for a quarterback. I mean, it was,
- 18:47Speaker 6: what the second or third game of the season, We're
- 18:49Speaker 6: watching Col's Darren cobbas on the Potelli go off, and
- 18:53Speaker 6: the tweets started firing out, Oh, there's Miami's quarterback for
- 18:55Speaker 6: twenty twenty six. It's him because Miami's done such a
- 18:59Speaker 6: horrible job of developing their own quarterbacks, but they've got
- 19:02Speaker 6: the deep pockets to go after Cam mord and a
- 19:04Speaker 6: Carson Beck, so they'll just let somebody else find them,
- 19:06Speaker 6: sign them, and develop them, and then they'll take them
- 19:09Speaker 6: when they're a finished product. So there's still gonna be
- 19:11Speaker 6: situations like that, but it's gonna be fewer and further between,
- 19:15Speaker 6: I believe, with maybe the exception of the quarterback position,
- 19:19Speaker 6: because I still think you're gonna have cases like a
- 19:20Speaker 6: trendy chamblist, a cam Ward that they were at a
- 19:24Speaker 6: FCS or a D two and work their way up,
- 19:26Speaker 6: and they were just talented no matter what. But I
- 19:28Speaker 6: think schools have become keen on the fact that if
- 19:31Speaker 6: you're at the G five, you aren't gonna ever have
- 19:34Speaker 6: the resources to compete with the power flour But if
- 19:36Speaker 6: you're a power four, you probably want to lock your
- 19:38Speaker 6: guys up a little bit longer and give them enticement
- 19:42Speaker 6: and reason to stay. And I think that it's not
- 19:45Speaker 6: any real god rails, Yeah right, the NCAA is not
- 19:48Speaker 6: putting any guardrails in. But I think it's more of
- 19:49Speaker 6: the schools are protecting themselves by making the deals a
- 19:52Speaker 6: little bit longer, a little bit more lucrative if you stay,
- 19:56Speaker 6: to keep guys from making the move year in and
- 19:58Speaker 6: year out. And I think you're also looking at cases
- 20:00Speaker 6: like Florida State in twenty twenty four where they were
- 20:03Speaker 6: heavy portal that year because they had success the year
- 20:05Speaker 6: before that, and they were a complete disaster because they
- 20:08Speaker 6: rely too much on the portal. Colorado is another current
- 20:11Speaker 6: case in point of that, and that why is still
- 20:13Speaker 6: important if you're not starting your program from scratch, like
- 20:17Speaker 6: in Indiana, you've got to really focus on the high
- 20:20Speaker 6: school recruits and developing those guys, Now you just got
- 20:23Speaker 6: to hope that you're a fan bases patient.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Well, the process though the portal itself opens what for
- 20:28Speaker 2: two weeks in January? Is that right? Yeah?
- 20:31Speaker 6: So the other gut rail up there, if you want
- 20:32Speaker 6: to call it that, is that they protected the schools
- 20:35Speaker 6: by only giving them one window. So instead of it
- 20:37Speaker 6: opening traditionally it had been the Monday after the conference
- 20:40Speaker 6: championship game, so it would have been next Monday, it's
- 20:43Speaker 6: now a two week window, and it's the only window
- 20:46Speaker 6: that exists. There's no other window in the middle of
- 20:48Speaker 6: April that opens up. It's you better go in in
- 20:50Speaker 6: that first week or two and you don't have to
- 20:52Speaker 6: necessarily find your school in that two week spand but
- 20:55Speaker 6: you have to go in the portal otherwise you better
- 20:57Speaker 6: hope your coach gets fired for some reason and you're
- 20:59Speaker 6: able to leave after that, because now the window has tightened,
- 21:03Speaker 6: and basically, if you don't go in, they and you
- 21:06Speaker 6: better have some great scenario and good Tom Marrs lawyership
- 21:09Speaker 6: to be able to get out of anything.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Brendan Huff in twenty four to seven Sports, there's what
- 21:13Speaker 2: what is it? Twenty five quarterbacks go to the Elite
- 21:15Speaker 2: eleven camp every year high school guys. Is that right?
- 21:18Speaker 6: There's twenty that go to the finals and then from
- 21:20Speaker 6: there they name essentially a dozen that.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Are the best. Let's just say this, twenty five Elite
- 21:25Speaker 2: eleven quarterback school the best quarter high school quarterbacks in
- 21:27Speaker 2: the country. How many of those guys actually stay at
- 21:29Speaker 2: the same school, do you think?
- 21:31Speaker 6: I mean, if you get half a class to stay,
- 21:34Speaker 6: that that's probably a win. I mean, you can go
- 21:37Speaker 6: back and look at some of the previous years and
- 21:40Speaker 6: those who have stayed have you know, for lack of
- 21:43Speaker 6: a better terms, have become champions. You know, in the
- 21:45Speaker 6: twenty twenty one class, you had a guy like Kayler Williams,
- 21:48Speaker 6: he left for obviously reasons with Lincoln Riley. You know,
- 21:51Speaker 6: he leaves for J. J. McCarthy. He stays, goes to
- 21:54Speaker 6: you know, wins the National Championship, Drake May he stays,
- 21:57Speaker 6: ends up being one of the best, you know on
- 21:58Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the NFL. And then if you look at
- 22:00Speaker 6: a lot of the quarterbacks that were in that class
- 22:01Speaker 6: who didn't stay, their careers have been pretty much roller coasters.
- 22:05Speaker 6: Even in the twenty twenty three class, Nico Jamniava Balachai Nelson,
- 22:10Speaker 6: Dante Moore, you know, Jackson Arnold. Those guys have all
- 22:15Speaker 6: bounced around from different schools, and so just because you're
- 22:18Speaker 6: considered one of the best. That also comes with that
- 22:21Speaker 6: is high expectations and in patient coaches, in patient boosters,
- 22:25Speaker 6: and now with the financials involved, if you're not hitting
- 22:28Speaker 6: and you're not living up to what you're being compensated,
- 22:31Speaker 6: fans are going to have a rebolt, the collectors are
- 22:33Speaker 6: going to have a rebolt, and the coaches are going
- 22:34Speaker 6: to try to find somebody older and that quarterback doesn't
- 22:37Speaker 6: want to sit around being a backup.
- 22:38Speaker 2: All right, health, let's get to at Washington. Sounds like
- 22:41Speaker 2: Jen Fish and his staff did well.
- 22:44Speaker 6: They did really well, and I think that they've got
- 22:46Speaker 6: to be very excited about the fact that not only
- 22:49Speaker 6: did they do well over the course of a whole year,
- 22:51Speaker 6: it's also how they closed in the last couple of
- 22:53Speaker 6: days to move from a class that was kind of
- 22:55Speaker 6: in the back end of the teams closer to the
- 22:58Speaker 6: top twenty and ended up with the number thirteen class
- 23:01Speaker 6: in the country. I can get into being number four
- 23:04Speaker 6: into Big ten. They were able to flip some guys
- 23:07Speaker 6: early on like a Cody Green, who was from Eastside Catholic,
- 23:10Speaker 6: played at Modern Day the last two years, was committed
- 23:12Speaker 6: to Oregon but ultimately came back and now he's going
- 23:14Speaker 6: to Washington. They had some really good early evalves on
- 23:17Speaker 6: guys that turned out after their senior year to have
- 23:20Speaker 6: fantastic seasons. But then the way they closed in the
- 23:23Speaker 6: last couple of days. They flipped Jordan Clay who was
- 23:25Speaker 6: an All American Bowl receiver out of Texas who was
- 23:29Speaker 6: going to Baylor. Had been a long time Baylor League
- 23:31Speaker 6: Trees Davis was committed to go play at Tulamee. They
- 23:34Speaker 6: were able to flip him, and then they were able
- 23:37Speaker 6: to also get David Scherzel out of Odai High School,
- 23:40Speaker 6: who started out as the UCLA commit, decommitted when de
- 23:42Speaker 6: Sean Foster was fired, flipped to Stanford, flipped to UCLA
- 23:46Speaker 6: on Tuesday night, but then signed with the Huskies yesterday.
- 23:48Speaker 6: Ramsack threw And who was another UCLA commit who decommitted
- 23:51Speaker 6: when Deshaun Foster was fired. He ends up back in
- 23:54Speaker 6: the boat. So they were able to close in the
- 23:56Speaker 6: last probably ten days with a bunch of high three
- 24:00Speaker 6: stars and then some top in four stars to really
- 24:03Speaker 6: kind of put an exclamation point on this class.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Cody Green's the five star, right, He's the offensive lineman
- 24:07Speaker 2: from from that started the East Side Catholic and helped
- 24:11Speaker 2: me out here. Is he the first five stars since
- 24:13Speaker 2: wait for it? I think the wait for it is
- 24:16Speaker 2: it Sam Heward?
- 24:19Speaker 6: Yeah, it would be stand here and he's their first
- 24:22Speaker 6: five star from California, I think, And you got to
- 24:24Speaker 6: go back to Shaq Thompson in twenty twelve. I think
- 24:28Speaker 6: that was the last five star that they got from
- 24:30Speaker 6: the state of California.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Listen, not all I mean, and I bring up Sam speaking.
- 24:34Speaker 6: Of twenty one Yeah, speaking of twenty twenty one quarterbacks,
- 24:37Speaker 6: who's had roller Fister?
- 24:38Speaker 2: I mean right, never has never has found a spot
- 24:41Speaker 2: in college football where he could be the guy like
- 24:43Speaker 2: and it's just it's I mean, it's sad. I think
- 24:44Speaker 2: Sam's a good kid. I feel bad for him. But
- 24:47Speaker 2: Cody Green five star, he's the leader in that process.
- 24:49Speaker 2: How soon can he play as an offensive lineman?
- 24:52Speaker 6: I mean Jeff Fish himself said last night they are
- 24:55Speaker 6: bringing him in with the expectation that he's going to
- 24:57Speaker 6: compete for a starting job. And I think nowadays when
- 24:59Speaker 6: he see the Francis and Aligalas at Miami starting as
- 25:03Speaker 6: true freshman Caden Proctor starting a true freshman. Offensive linemen
- 25:08Speaker 6: aren't cheap. I talked to an agent about three weeks
- 25:11Speaker 6: ago just kind of had to reset what the positional
- 25:13Speaker 6: value is. He said, it goes quarterback, left tackle, edge
- 25:16Speaker 6: rusher in the three most lucrative positions. And so if
- 25:19Speaker 6: you're going to invest in a freshman off at the
- 25:21Speaker 6: tackle who's a highly high level, highly rated player, you're
- 25:25Speaker 6: bringing him in to not just get on the field,
- 25:28Speaker 6: you know in spot duty. You're getting into come in
- 25:30Speaker 6: and start. You see that in the NFL. I mean
- 25:32Speaker 6: I was watching the Commander's game on Monday night, and
- 25:35Speaker 6: there are on Sunday night and Josh Connor Lee out
- 25:37Speaker 6: of Ranier Beach, who was the first round draft pick
- 25:39Speaker 6: at the Redskins, starting at right tackle as a rookie
- 25:42Speaker 6: for the Commanders. Much like the NFL draft, if you're
- 25:45Speaker 6: bringing in a true freshman, you don't have time to wait.
- 25:48Speaker 6: You're investing in that position. You need that guy on
- 25:50Speaker 6: the field immediately.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Washington picked up seven kids from California, six from Washington,
- 25:55Speaker 2: couple from Oregon, Nevada, one each from Colorado, Florida, Illinois,
- 25:59Speaker 2: l Louis. Really how about that New Jersey, Oklahoma, Texas.
- 26:03Speaker 2: I'm on the class besides Green, two running backs, four
- 26:06Speaker 2: wide receivers. Those are usual guys that maybe can play
- 26:09Speaker 2: right away. Who jumps out. Yeah.
- 26:12Speaker 6: I think if you look at what Brian Bonner has
- 26:14Speaker 6: done over the course of his career in Southern California,
- 26:16Speaker 6: I think there's an expectation that he's going to come in.
- 26:18Speaker 6: I think Adam Mohammad really acquitted himself, and I see
- 26:21Speaker 6: the games that Jonah Clombll was hurt, so you know,
- 26:23Speaker 6: this will give Bonner a chance to kind of be
- 26:26Speaker 6: the number two guy behind him. And one thing that
- 26:28Speaker 6: we saw with Washington this year is they played a
- 26:30Speaker 6: lot of true freshmen at the skill positions, and those
- 26:33Speaker 6: guys have come back next year. But I think from
- 26:35Speaker 6: their receivers, I like Jordan Clay the best of getting
- 26:38Speaker 6: on the field early. I saw him at the All
- 26:41Speaker 6: American ball back in January. He's gonna actually be a
- 26:44Speaker 6: two time All American Bowl selections first one ever. Just
- 26:47Speaker 6: a talented player with a great catch radius. He's going
- 26:51Speaker 6: to remind people a lot of Denzel Boston, but even
- 26:54Speaker 6: with more speed than him in that big body, long,
- 26:57Speaker 6: rangy receiver. So I'm a big fan of him him
- 27:00Speaker 6: and I think that he gets on the field early.
- 27:03Speaker 6: And then if you know, you look at kind of
- 27:05Speaker 6: what they did on the defensive line. Obviously locally, they
- 27:08Speaker 6: got the number one player in the state of Washington
- 27:10Speaker 6: for the second year in a row. That's something that
- 27:12Speaker 6: you know, Jetfish's predecessors, Kaylin de Boor and Jimmy Lake
- 27:15Speaker 6: and Chris Peterson to an extent, really struggle with and
- 27:18Speaker 6: now two years in a row, the Huskies land the
- 27:20Speaker 6: top ranked player in the state. Derek clomb and Brusa
- 27:22Speaker 6: out of Kennedy Catholic outstanding player, four year starter for
- 27:26Speaker 6: the Lancers, a kid that you know when he came
- 27:28Speaker 6: into high school, he was about two twenty five to
- 27:30Speaker 6: two thirty. Our guy, Sheldon cross what was still coaching
- 27:33Speaker 6: at at Kennedy when when Derek came in as a
- 27:35Speaker 6: freshman as an ahreader, he said, this guy is going
- 27:37Speaker 6: to be a star. And he was not wrong at all.
- 27:40Speaker 6: I would imagine that Derek, now he's about two seventy,
- 27:43Speaker 6: he's going to find a way into the rotation early
- 27:44Speaker 6: on too.
- 27:45Speaker 2: All right, brand Huff been joining US twenty four seven
- 27:47Speaker 2: Sports obviously have much different situation with Wazoo and Jimmy Rodgers.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Although I'm looking at the rankings, I'm looking who they
- 27:53Speaker 2: picked up, it feels like it's the same guys they
- 27:55Speaker 2: would have got in the back twelve back in the day.
- 27:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:58Speaker 6: I mean, if you look at the geography of kind
- 28:01Speaker 6: of where they're picking it up from, there's a little
- 28:03Speaker 6: bit of an expansion into some maybe some states that
- 28:06Speaker 6: they didn't typically hit all that hard, and I'm saying
- 28:09Speaker 6: more like a Louisiana and maybe in the city others
- 28:12Speaker 6: here you know, one of the Juco ranks, but you
- 28:14Speaker 6: know a lot of West Coast presidence. Five guys from
- 28:17Speaker 6: the state of California. They went into Arizona. I saw
- 28:19Speaker 6: all three of the defensive linement that they got from
- 28:21Speaker 6: the state of Arizona. I had a chance to see
- 28:23Speaker 6: this season. You know, a couple of instate players, so
- 28:26Speaker 6: they they know that they got to expand their reach.
- 28:29Speaker 6: And I like the fact that they dipped into Texas
- 28:31Speaker 6: and into a Louisiana. When you've got Texas State coming
- 28:34Speaker 6: into the PAC twelve, you're opening up the opportunity for
- 28:37Speaker 6: Texas State to recruit the West. So now strike back
- 28:40Speaker 6: and go down into their region and get some players there.
- 28:43Speaker 6: So double digits from Texas and California. Sorry Texas and Louisiana.
- 28:48Speaker 6: I like what they did. Malcolm Waukins is the kid
- 28:50Speaker 6: that I think, you know, we've got our rink as
- 28:51Speaker 6: an athlete. He wants to play receiver. I've seen him
- 28:54Speaker 6: as a lockdown corner. He ends up being the best
- 28:56Speaker 6: player in this class. Was committed to Oregon State for
- 28:59Speaker 6: quite some time, but open it up on the firing
- 29:01Speaker 6: of Trent Bray. I really liked what they did at
- 29:04Speaker 6: this you know, just kind of offensively on the front lines,
- 29:09Speaker 6: on the offensive line. And keep in mind a receiver
- 29:12Speaker 6: that Oregon signed yesterday was originally committed to Washington State
- 29:16Speaker 6: and then had a monster junior year, flipped at Utah
- 29:18Speaker 6: and eventually to Oregon. But Washington State was really the
- 29:21Speaker 6: first one his first FBS offer, the first FBS school
- 29:24Speaker 6: to go in on him, and they got his commitment
- 29:26Speaker 6: and ultimately lost them. But they've done a really good
- 29:29Speaker 6: job of kind of early evals and early identification. Now
- 29:31Speaker 6: it's a matter of holding on to some of those
- 29:33Speaker 6: guys down the stretch.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Yeah, they can they get a guy, any of these
- 29:36Speaker 2: guys get on the field next year. I mean they
- 29:38Speaker 2: need probably a receiver or two. They probably need offensive
- 29:40Speaker 2: line help, although you don't want to necessarily Outstanlisher Cody
- 29:43Speaker 2: Green come in as a freshman who could jump on
- 29:45Speaker 2: the field right away for them.
- 29:47Speaker 6: Yeah, I think when you're going into the Jucos like
- 29:49Speaker 6: they did, especially with a couple of the corners they
- 29:50Speaker 6: got with Bryce Hecker coming in, really Breelan, you're bringing
- 29:53Speaker 6: those guys in with as juco's two kid on the field.
- 29:56Speaker 6: By the time they're kicking off the season next year,
- 29:58Speaker 6: you know, Bryce heckerd coustoms the College of San Francisco
- 30:01Speaker 6: probably one of the top five JUCO programs on the
- 30:03Speaker 6: West Coast. Ye're in and you're out. The amount of
- 30:06Speaker 6: players that they have produced that have gone on to
- 30:08Speaker 6: the next level and the impact guys. I mean, what
- 30:10Speaker 6: was our guy the receiver that was there that flourished
- 30:13Speaker 6: under under Mike Leach that was a I want to
- 30:15Speaker 6: say a City College of Style Williams or who's the
- 30:21Speaker 6: other the big big receiver who uh, just.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Go ahead, keep going.
- 30:27Speaker 6: But you bring those guys in from the City College
- 30:29Speaker 6: of San Francisco types because they're playing, you know, with
- 30:32Speaker 6: other bounce backs, other guys that are high level Division
- 30:35Speaker 6: one type players that had to go to the juke
- 30:37Speaker 6: a route and you're expecting them to come in and
- 30:39Speaker 6: be able to play right away. And so I think,
- 30:41Speaker 6: you know, from that standpoint, those two guys are probably
- 30:44Speaker 6: the ones that have the best chance of getting on
- 30:47Speaker 6: the field. But if we're going from the high school
- 30:49Speaker 6: guys again, you know Malcolm Waukins, he's a versatile player
- 30:52Speaker 6: that could play on either side, and it's probably going
- 30:54Speaker 6: to be a matter of where's his immediate need going
- 30:56Speaker 6: to be filled, We'll get him in there. So he's
- 30:59Speaker 6: the guy that I think it's on the field pretty quickly,
- 31:02Speaker 6: and I really like what he brings to the table.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Huff is as great as it is for Washington doing
- 31:07Speaker 2: what they did.
- 31:07Speaker 3: They did a lot.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Obviously it was fantastic, But then you look and see
- 31:11Speaker 2: is it Oregon USC or USC Oregon one two? How
- 31:14Speaker 2: did that work out?
- 31:16Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 31:16Speaker 6: Well, it's funny because, as I said, where we're in
- 31:19Speaker 6: a different era in college football these days. Right now,
- 31:23Speaker 6: USC is at the top, but Oregon is in a
- 31:25Speaker 6: very strong position to jump them. With Chris Henry, who's
- 31:28Speaker 6: the number one player in the state of California, five
- 31:31Speaker 6: star player, a receiver who'd been committed to a house
- 31:33Speaker 6: state for almost three years. He was driving to school
- 31:36Speaker 6: yesterday ready to sign his letter when he got the
- 31:38Speaker 6: news about Brian Hartline taking the USF head coaching job.
- 31:41Speaker 6: Didn't sign with the Buck guys as expected, and he
- 31:45Speaker 6: may end up signing with Oregon. That might be enough
- 31:47Speaker 6: to push the Ducks across to the number one class
- 31:50Speaker 6: in the twenty twenty six rankings, which would be pretty
- 31:53Speaker 6: significant because those two have been exchanging blows. You know,
- 31:56Speaker 6: in recruiting. Oregon look to be getting a lot of
- 31:58Speaker 6: momentum and USC was starting to take some of that
- 32:01Speaker 6: momentum back, especially at a feeder school like modern Day
- 32:03Speaker 6: in Oregon. Could end up with the ultimate blow up.
- 32:06Speaker 6: They can get Chris Henry to sign with them. But yeah,
- 32:10Speaker 6: if we're in an era too where guys are delaying
- 32:14Speaker 6: signing because the language in their contracts still needs to
- 32:18Speaker 6: be vetted one more time. This isn't the old days
- 32:20Speaker 6: of just signing your letter of intent sending it off.
- 32:22Speaker 6: Now your language has to be vetted to make sure
- 32:24Speaker 6: all those numbers are accurate. Otherwise you're not going to
- 32:27Speaker 6: send your letter of intent in Thank you Jayden Rashada
- 32:30Speaker 6: for being a kind of a game changer in that respect.
- 32:33Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean that's the other thing. It's a
- 32:35Speaker 2: different Well, like I said, this is probably a different
- 32:36Speaker 2: one to talk about down the road. But you know
- 32:38Speaker 2: how how the process has changed. But USC, like, like,
- 32:42Speaker 2: how scared should the Big Ten be about USC becoming
- 32:45Speaker 2: what they're becoming recruiting wise.
- 32:47Speaker 6: Well, they should be, because you know, we have to
- 32:49Speaker 6: kind of bemoaning this in the recruiting industry for the
- 32:51Speaker 6: lastical years. Like Lincoln Riley knows that there's good football
- 32:53Speaker 6: players in California, right, Like he's aware that you are
- 32:56Speaker 6: allowed to recruit the West Coast. And I remember he
- 32:59Speaker 6: made flipping statement once where he's like, well, we don't
- 33:01Speaker 6: need to recruit, We're a national brand. We can go
- 33:03Speaker 6: recruit nationally. Well yeah, but you can't sign those guys.
- 33:06Speaker 6: Sure you'll get a commitment from a kid from Borgia
- 33:08Speaker 6: in March or April, but come December he's signing with
- 33:10Speaker 6: the local school. He goes and hires Chad Boden, the
- 33:13Speaker 6: general manager at USC away from Notre Dame, and all
- 33:16Speaker 6: of a sudden they start focusing in emphasizing the local kids,
- 33:19Speaker 6: and what you know, they end up with the number
- 33:21Speaker 6: one class in the country as a result of that.
- 33:23Speaker 6: So there's still some targeted football players out west, and
- 33:26Speaker 6: I think Lincoln Radley is now understanding that you could
- 33:28Speaker 6: still recruit players in the backyard of the school that
- 33:31Speaker 6: you're coaching at. And they're finding that Pete Carroll liked success.
- 33:35Speaker 6: I think it's been since Pete Carroll was the head
- 33:36Speaker 6: coach the last time they were at the top of
- 33:38Speaker 6: the rankings day and what if Pete do? Pete locked
- 33:40Speaker 6: up the state of California and the West coast, and
- 33:43Speaker 6: now Lincoln Riley is finally figuring that out.
- 33:45Speaker 2: Was it esaup Winston?
- 33:48Speaker 6: Eup Winston? There you go. I knew, I knew it
- 33:51Speaker 6: was kind of a unique name.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I got there. Hell of a career, all right,
- 33:54Speaker 2: twenty four to seven Sports for all your recruiting, Hoff.

- 36:35Speaker 2: on goal in the last twenty three games in a
- 36:36Speaker 2: Cracking game. Low events slow things down. Usually that helps
- 36:41Speaker 2: you against a team like Edmonton. We'll see if they

- 42:25Speaker 2: haven't run this by purple sheet yet, but this is
- 42:27Speaker 2: one of those things that could go really bad or
- 42:29Speaker 2: really good or just really viral.
- 42:31Speaker 3: I don't know what.
- 42:33Speaker 2: If I finished last, then my league gets to come

- 42:54Speaker 2: mics around. I'll put just in charge of getting in
- 42:56Speaker 2: and out of breaks.
- 42:57Speaker 14: It seems like somebody agreed to when you were premely
- 43:00Speaker 14: confident way back, you know, like, how would I ever
- 43:03Speaker 14: finish last?
- 43:04Speaker 9: You know what leads to supreme confidence.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson being awful, like Mike Evans getting hurt.
- 43:12Speaker 11: Of beverages your draft is what was actually at.
- 43:16Speaker 2: The Board of Governor's meeting in their world.
- 43:18Speaker 14: Yeah, there, what's the like, what's the even level punishment
- 43:23Speaker 14: for somebody.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Else in the league, Like, oh, there's license plate frames.
- 43:26Speaker 2: There's all kinds of stuff. Yeah, yeah, that are pretty
- 43:30Speaker 2: much something I can't put on my car. So I
- 43:33Speaker 2: had to I had to decide to do this. So yeah,
- 43:36Speaker 2: I just heads up for everybody.
- 43:39Speaker 11: Yeah, okay, so we'll do we help you can't?
- 43:45Speaker 2: How do we help you win? So this doesn't have
- 43:47Speaker 2: to ask Lamar to be better. Anyway, that's good times.
- 43:52Speaker 2: That's where we are, so Funston you'll tune into that.
- 43:55Speaker 2: Maybe we'll have Funston come on the show that day.
- 43:57Speaker 2: That'd be kind of fun.
- 43:58Speaker 13: Huh be a Thursday at too?
- 44:00Speaker 2: Yeah, why not? All right, So anyway, that's just a
- 44:02Speaker 2: heads up for you guys. All right, yeah, the mark
- 44:04Speaker 2: that down, all right? Shoul we get to some phone calls.
- 44:06Speaker 2: I think some other guys still in it. Let's start
- 44:08Speaker 2: with where should we start? Well, let's do this. How
- 44:10Speaker 2: about Mike and Edmunds? How are you?
- 44:12Speaker 12: Mike? Hey? Pretty good? I Hi Brandon, Mike, boy, I
- 44:17Speaker 12: hope you have a really good dump button for that day.
- 44:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and is in charge of a lot. There's
- 44:23Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on a lot of people, trust me. Yeah, yeah,
- 44:27Speaker 2: good luck.
- 44:28Speaker 12: Okay, all right, here we go full PPR. I need
- 44:32Speaker 12: one of these three guys. And I try not to
- 44:35Speaker 12: do this, but I have another question besides this.
- 44:37Speaker 15: Okay, I just need.
- 44:39Speaker 12: One of these Flowers. Marvin Harrison Junior. We're asking genty
- 44:44Speaker 12: and I think Ian and I are in the same boat.
- 44:48Speaker 12: With three games left, Will I ever be able to
- 44:51Speaker 12: start Lamar Jackson?
- 44:53Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm curious to see how he will do this week.
- 44:56Speaker 14: Pittsburgh is like second in the league and pressure rate,
- 44:58Speaker 14: and clearly Lamar Jackson's not not one hundred percent. You
- 45:02Speaker 14: can tell by just the rushing numbers. It's just dropped precipitously.
- 45:06Speaker 14: But I think this will be a very telling week.
- 45:09Speaker 2: I would I would go with.
- 45:11Speaker 14: Gent just because they're throwing the ball to him so much,
- 45:16Speaker 14: you know, kind of he's going to get the carries.
- 45:18Speaker 14: They're not going to be that fruitful most likely, but
- 45:20Speaker 14: he does get those, does get those receptions in full
- 45:23Speaker 14: PPR that matters. Flowers has been rough since Jackson's been struggling,
- 45:27Speaker 14: and and I just don't trust Marvin Harrison right now.
- 45:30Speaker 14: Michael Wilson's in the mix, but it's a tough matchup
- 45:32Speaker 14: against the Rams.
- 45:33Speaker 2: There you go, Michael, talk to you next week, all right?
- 45:35Speaker 2: Next up?
- 45:36Speaker 3: You bet you?
- 45:36Speaker 2: We had down to the two, five, three, Ricky and
- 45:38Speaker 2: to call them Hi, Ricky, all.
- 45:40Speaker 7: Right, Hey, I want to host this so for an hour's.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of people that are hoping that
- 45:47Speaker 2: they get a host of showers, and I can think
- 45:49Speaker 2: of ten of them all. Little Maple Valley can't wait
- 45:51Speaker 2: for that show. All right? Continue? All right? Well, I
- 45:55Speaker 2: got Tesla Rivian. Which one's worst? I'm joking. I mean,
- 46:02Speaker 2: I was just.
- 46:02Speaker 14: Talking about Tesla though he's actually a pretty good play tonight.
- 46:05Speaker 7: So I mean I was like, I lost that waiver claim. Okay,
- 46:13Speaker 7: Well I got three quarterbacks and this I'm a mirror
- 46:15Speaker 7: mic there. I got, Okay, Lamar Jackson, Sam Donald or
- 46:20Speaker 7: gosh forbid, Tyrod Taylor half point PPR?
- 46:22Speaker 2: Which one should I roll with?
- 46:24Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 46:25Speaker 13: I have I have Lamar Jackson down at like QB nine.
- 46:28Speaker 14: Uh so that's still it's still slightly ahead of Sam
- 46:31Speaker 14: Donald and I don't have uh, I don't have Tyrod
- 46:34Speaker 14: Taylor close.
- 46:34Speaker 2: To either of them.
- 46:35Speaker 13: So give me Lamar Jackson.
- 46:38Speaker 2: All right, Ricky, we'll talk to you next week. Well
- 46:41Speaker 2: what do you think Let's go to be your en, Hi.
- 46:43Speaker 3: Rob, this is the best thing ever.
- 46:47Speaker 12: You got to kick my mask at the last place,
- 46:48Speaker 12: and we got two weeks to do that.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Last half full Rob, I don't know if I like it.
- 46:54Speaker 2: I don't know if I like it at all.
- 46:55Speaker 13: It's the same Rob, He's just got a different attitude.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Just a different attitude and attitude.
- 46:59Speaker 3: Check. I like it?
- 47:00Speaker 8: All right?
- 47:00Speaker 2: What's the question there?
- 47:01Speaker 16: Rob?
- 47:03Speaker 3: All right? All right?
- 47:04Speaker 17: Do we go with Dak or do we go with h.
- 47:07Speaker 2: Darnolds? Yeah?
- 47:09Speaker 14: I have Dak only behind Josh Allen this week, so
- 47:12Speaker 14: number two, number two overall?
- 47:14Speaker 2: Oh all right, all right, good luck Rob again. It
- 47:17Speaker 2: just creeps me out when he comes in all shipper
- 47:19Speaker 2: and happy. I don't like it. Don't like it at all,
- 47:21Speaker 2: doesn't doesn't doesn't feel right. Chris and Bury and what's
- 47:24Speaker 2: going on?
- 47:26Speaker 15: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Uh and good two parter kind of
- 47:30Speaker 15: on the heels of the Lamar Jackson. Let me give
- 47:33Speaker 15: you the hard part first flex full point PPR Toakoby Myers,
- 47:37Speaker 15: Jordan Addison, Xavier Worthy or the wide receiver I'm trying
- 47:43Speaker 15: to pick up Jayden Higgins.
- 47:45Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm gonna go Jacoby all the ways looking good.
- 47:48Speaker 14: Trevor Lawrence has accuracy issues. A nice thing about Myers
- 47:50Speaker 14: when they brought him in is he doesn't he doesn't
- 47:53Speaker 14: live downfield, so he's catching his His catch rates like
- 47:57Speaker 14: in the upper eighty percent, where everybody else on the
- 47:59Speaker 14: team it's like in the fifty sixty percent. So Trevor
- 48:02Speaker 14: Lawrence has a great connection with him. It's getting better
- 48:04Speaker 14: each week. I like Myers a lot.
- 48:06Speaker 2: There you go, all right, that is our guy. Christen Burrien,
- 48:09Speaker 2: all right, let's do the two step. We'll start with
- 48:11Speaker 2: Derek consultant. Hi, Derek, what's up?
- 48:14Speaker 10: Guys?
- 48:15Speaker 6: What's Upbore.
- 48:16Speaker 15: Here's here's the thing.
- 48:18Speaker 6: I don't even need to win this week or next
- 48:20Speaker 6: week because I got bye week in both my.
- 48:22Speaker 3: Lead I hate you.
- 48:23Speaker 7: Yeah, some ls here, so I.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Gotta I gotta lay it on.
- 48:28Speaker 2: Nobody gets a free week.
- 48:31Speaker 18: I'm wondering Brenton Strange, Mike Evans possibly or Christian Watson
- 48:38Speaker 18: for a full point PPR.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Good questioned one.
- 48:42Speaker 17: Man.
- 48:42Speaker 14: That's that's a that's a good one. I might full
- 48:45Speaker 14: point PPR. I think I'm gonna lean Brenton Strange. Man,
- 48:49Speaker 14: it's close between him and Christian Watson. Yeah, it's just
- 48:53Speaker 14: again I talked about Trevor Lawrence. He loves those short
- 48:55Speaker 14: area guys and Strange admirers have been the ones they've
- 48:58Speaker 14: really been eating when they're when they've been healthy in
- 49:01Speaker 14: that lineup, So I'm going to go Strange slightly over
- 49:06Speaker 14: Christian Watson.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Perfect, All right, nicely done. We stay in Sultan's Stephen
- 49:10Speaker 2: and Sultan's next. What's up, Steven.
- 49:13Speaker 18: Much just enjoying the lovely Washington State sunshine?
- 49:16Speaker 2: Damn right, it seems wet today.
- 49:17Speaker 3: That's weird.
- 49:18Speaker 18: But for you, though, Ian, if you do the Dancy
- 49:22Speaker 18: football phone line calls, we're still on the debut of
- 49:25Speaker 18: the Maryor's ip A next year.
- 49:28Speaker 2: Yeah, what's what?
- 49:29Speaker 3: Now?
- 49:30Speaker 13: What's that thing? Is?
- 49:31Speaker 2: What show? What did you do?
- 49:33Speaker 18: The final fans like last year talking about doing a
- 49:35Speaker 18: financy league from New York callers?
- 49:37Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what you're saying
- 49:40Speaker 2: on I P A Day noted? Yeah, I P A
- 49:43Speaker 2: Day is pretty much a gong show as it is.
- 49:45Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I'd want to add anything to that. Andrews,
- 49:47Speaker 2: you were there this year? Is that I don't think? Yeah,
- 49:49Speaker 2: that describes it very well. It's quite busy, quite busy.
- 49:52Speaker 2: We'll see if Stephen, what's your question, what do you
- 49:54Speaker 2: got fire away?
- 49:55Speaker 12: All right?
- 49:55Speaker 6: So what about receiver in one flex?
- 49:57Speaker 18: Tight end premium between Michael Wilson, Mark Andrews, Chris Rodriguez,
- 50:04Speaker 18: DeVaughn Bailey, Isaac Tasala and Dj Moore?
- 50:09Speaker 13: What's how much this is the premium on the tight end?
- 50:12Speaker 2: One and a half.
- 50:13Speaker 18: I also have Saltz, Pitts and likely on the bench too,
- 50:15Speaker 18: but don't like either one of them.
- 50:17Speaker 13: I like Pitts.
- 50:18Speaker 14: I mean, the Seahawks do give up a lot of
- 50:21Speaker 14: a lot of production to the tight end position. Pitts
- 50:23Speaker 14: with decent last week. I actually like Pitts better than Andrews.
- 50:26Speaker 14: I think the two two I like the most. I
- 50:28Speaker 14: like Pitts and I like Tesla there as I mentioned earlier,
- 50:32Speaker 14: I mean it looks like a mon Ross Saint Browns
- 50:34Speaker 14: out assuming he is. You know, there's big play potential
- 50:37Speaker 14: with with Tesla. So have my two choices.
- 50:40Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
- 50:41Speaker 2: The one thing that translated from Pete to to Mike
- 50:43Speaker 2: McDonald is the tight ends get yards against them. They
- 50:46Speaker 2: don't score necessarily. Let us get some catches and look
- 50:48Speaker 2: like enough.
- 50:49Speaker 14: Yards that they've given up the fifth most fantasy points
- 50:51Speaker 14: to the tight end position.
- 50:53Speaker 2: Dink and duck along the way. I'll get a couple
- 50:55Speaker 2: more phone calls before we get to the text. By
- 50:56Speaker 2: the way, text four nine four five one get those
- 50:59Speaker 2: question is in four nine four five one. Keith is
- 51:02Speaker 2: an Olympia.
- 51:02Speaker 17: Hi Keith, Hey there, Hey, I've locked up a playoff
- 51:06Speaker 17: spot in my league, but I'm going up against my
- 51:08Speaker 17: son this week and he's fighting for his playoff life.
- 51:10Speaker 17: So I'm trying to do a Y and so kind.
- 51:13Speaker 15: Here's the question.
- 51:13Speaker 2: I love that. So I got two of them.
- 51:17Speaker 17: So running back, I got to pick a gainwell, Monan
- 51:20Speaker 17: Guy or Hunt from those three mediocres.
- 51:24Speaker 14: Yeah, guy has been been really good. He's just got
- 51:28Speaker 14: a little bit of an ankle. Dang, but I have
- 51:29Speaker 14: him ranked the highest. I I'd watched that one. I
- 51:32Speaker 14: have a Hunt next.
- 51:33Speaker 13: So Monan Guy, for some reason, is a scratch. I
- 51:36Speaker 13: would go with Hunt.
- 51:37Speaker 3: All right.
- 51:37Speaker 2: There we go, last phone call before we get to
- 51:39Speaker 2: the volume of Texas pretty high today. Let's get to
- 51:42Speaker 2: Jordan and Tacoma. Hey, guys, how's it going good?
- 51:45Speaker 3: Buddy?
- 51:46Speaker 2: All right?
- 51:47Speaker 19: So, uh, I need to not play one of the
- 51:51Speaker 19: four I got DeAndre Swift, Devin Neil Woody, Mars and
- 51:58Speaker 19: then that Keith Slaw guy off the waiver wire.
- 52:03Speaker 2: Again.
- 52:03Speaker 14: Assuming I'm on Ross Saint Brown, is that I'd take
- 52:06Speaker 14: my chances on to Slat. I would probably sit Woody
- 52:09Speaker 14: Marks because he's got an ankle. Dang, we might see
- 52:12Speaker 14: a little bit more Nick Chubbs can't see. Chiefs not
- 52:15Speaker 14: been as stout on defense as we typically assume. But
- 52:18Speaker 14: it's still not a still not a cake walk, So
- 52:20Speaker 14: I would go swift Neil and tesla If no, I'm
- 52:23Speaker 14: on Saint Brown.
- 52:24Speaker 2: All right, love it. But Andrew's fist pumping in there,
- 52:27Speaker 2: fist pumping in there?
- 52:28Speaker 17: Is that?
- 52:28Speaker 2: Does that make sense for me?
- 52:29Speaker 10: You talked about Nick Chubb getting more carries? Yes, I
- 52:31Speaker 10: was very happy about that.
- 52:33Speaker 2: That made you happy. All right, let's hit the music
- 52:36Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go right here to one o'clock in
- 52:38Speaker 2: the afternoon. We didn't have a bullseye today. We did
- 52:42Speaker 2: not have a bull's eye. But I'm quibbling over one second.
- 52:48Speaker 2: We had three come in at one minute or one
- 52:51Speaker 2: o'clock in one second, and then a whole bunch at
- 52:53Speaker 2: two seconds and less.
- 52:54Speaker 3: So here we go.
- 52:56Speaker 2: The first one that came in at one second after
- 52:58Speaker 2: the hour. By the way the burrow Brisselle one, you
- 53:00Speaker 2: missed it by fifteen seconds. Nice, try though, jump the
- 53:03Speaker 2: gun like the old hydroplane races, pedalized penalized the lap
- 53:07Speaker 2: you'll start false stars of penalized the lap five to
- 53:10Speaker 2: the five minute gun. Here we go, first one from
- 53:13Speaker 2: our buddy Ben standard scoring. Need Flowers, Sutton and T. E.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Higgins ranked in or rank him in order.
- 53:19Speaker 14: Oh, let's go. Let's go Higgins assuming he plays. He
- 53:24Speaker 14: has practiced in full so he should clear concussion.
- 53:26Speaker 13: Probably call then Flowers and then.
- 53:28Speaker 2: So okay, for one please Shakir, Jacoby Myers, Shaheed, Brian
- 53:35Speaker 2: Thomas Thomas or Devon Vely Bailey.
- 53:39Speaker 13: Yeah, I just need one.
- 53:40Speaker 2: I'm just just giving Jacoby Myers, Kobe Myers, thank you.
- 53:43Speaker 2: I'll actually like that answer. Need one Baker, Jayden Daniels
- 53:46Speaker 2: or Daniel Jones.
- 53:50Speaker 14: Well I got I got Baker and Daniel Jones right
- 53:53Speaker 14: back to back, Baker ahead of him. I would put
- 53:55Speaker 14: Jayde and Daniels slightly ahead of both of them, assuming
- 53:58Speaker 14: he plays, and right now he's trending towards playing.
- 54:01Speaker 2: So yeah, give me Jaja if it's Daniels, if he's ready,
- 54:04Speaker 2: to go. Okay, Yeah, we are now at two seconds
- 54:06Speaker 2: after the hour at one o'clock. Jamie from Allen if
- 54:09Speaker 2: Drake London his outs, do I play Watson or Deebo?
- 54:11Speaker 14: Thanks, I would play I would play Christian Watson. I
- 54:16Speaker 14: like Deebo's kind of like zero, isn't he this year?
- 54:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 54:18Speaker 14: The problem is that he's he just catches one yard
- 54:21Speaker 14: passes and then it's all about him doing you know,
- 54:24Speaker 14: yards after the catch, and he's just not as explosive
- 54:26Speaker 14: as he used to be. So uh, Christian Watson's been
- 54:29Speaker 14: trending up. He's kind of become like their go to
- 54:32Speaker 14: guy in that passing offense. Need to please Burrow, Stafford
- 54:36Speaker 14: or Donald. I'm gonna sit Donald. I don't hate him,
- 54:39Speaker 14: but like I like those guys better.
- 54:43Speaker 2: PPR need to sit one R J Harvey, Saquon Barkley
- 54:47Speaker 2: or Kenneth Walker. Who do you sit there? PPR?
- 54:50Speaker 14: I have Harvey, I mean Harvey Walker and who was
- 54:55Speaker 14: the other one?
- 54:56Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 54:56Speaker 13: Those guys are right back to back.
- 54:58Speaker 2: But are you for having those offs?
- 55:00Speaker 14: Mike Harvey is the lowest of that group, but you
- 55:04Speaker 14: know it's tight.
- 55:05Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett, justin Herbert.
- 55:08Speaker 14: Yeah, Herbert. If he plays, he's playing with the cast
- 55:11Speaker 14: on his left hand. He probably doesn't run goal line
- 55:13Speaker 14: stuff because of that, So you gotta go Brisett. Brissette's
- 55:16Speaker 14: been a a QB one seven straight outings.
- 55:20Speaker 2: Whoa how Yeah? Mental note to myself to stay at
- 55:24Speaker 2: the last place Toby ever won? Are Stannard scoring? Let's
- 55:29Speaker 2: see Matt Stafford or Jerry Goff.
- 55:34Speaker 13: Those guys are close.
- 55:35Speaker 14: I have Stafford just one ahead of Goff Dak or Burrow.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Dak. Stannard's scoring. I know I got that already, do
- 55:46Speaker 2: do uh, let's see, I think actually, and I'll let
- 55:51Speaker 2: you jump up.
- 55:51Speaker 10: I'll let you jump up, all right? Do I take
- 55:54Speaker 10: a chance on Rashid Shaheed on the wire?
- 55:57Speaker 13: I mean that's context right, need to know if you're cutting.
- 56:01Speaker 13: But I have a twelve.
- 56:02Speaker 14: Team league where I'm just having buried on my bench.
- 56:05Speaker 14: But I'm just waiting around, still hoping, holding out hope.
- 56:08Speaker 2: But all right, hasn't dropped him yet? All right?
- 56:11Speaker 11: Uh?
- 56:11Speaker 10: Roman Dude Day, Christian Wahs or Kyle Manung Guy at flex.
- 56:17Speaker 14: Yeah, I think that's uh, that's between Manong Guy and Watson.
- 56:21Speaker 13: I'd play it. The safer play.
- 56:23Speaker 14: Is Manoguy if he plays the you know, go for
- 56:26Speaker 14: the big home run. I think it's Christian Watson because
- 56:28Speaker 14: the Bear's secondary is not being good and Watson's a
- 56:31Speaker 14: big play guy, so you might get a couple of
- 56:33Speaker 14: big plays.
- 56:33Speaker 12: Out of him.
- 56:34Speaker 2: Right by the way, all these people people text in
- 56:36Speaker 2: rooting for me to finish last. If you can see
- 56:40Speaker 2: me right now, I'm telling you you're number one in
- 56:43Speaker 2: a row.
- 56:44Speaker 10: Yeah, half PPR flex A Duneesay Hampton or Keenan Allen.
- 56:50Speaker 14: Yeah, I will go Hampton if he plays. We talked
- 56:53Speaker 14: about this offline, since you have a doonsay I do.
- 56:56Speaker 14: He's been roughings a practice this week. He has a
- 56:58Speaker 14: foot injury and so two practices in without him without.
- 57:02Speaker 13: Him going, so he may be not playing this week.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Oh wait, so Andrew's talking to Will get a little
- 57:06Speaker 2: inside information trading off camera.
- 57:10Speaker 5: There.
- 57:11Speaker 10: There's some much perks to doing this, you know, producing
- 57:14Speaker 10: for the Ian Fornest Show. Yes, TV Lamar or Caleb Williams.
- 57:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
- 57:21Speaker 14: I don't like Caleb Williams against green Bay at green Bay.
- 57:23Speaker 14: I think he's gonna have I think he's a rough afternoon.
- 57:26Speaker 2: Give me a tell us the truth. You just don't
- 57:27Speaker 2: like Caleb Williams like I don't.
- 57:28Speaker 13: I don't like.
- 57:31Speaker 16: He does.
- 57:31Speaker 14: He's done better in fantasy than I've probably given him
- 57:34Speaker 14: credit for.
- 57:34Speaker 2: Fair enough, all right, what about Jordan Love or Lamar
- 57:37Speaker 2: and Jackson?
- 57:38Speaker 14: I like Jordan Love, so I have Jordan Love just
- 57:43Speaker 14: one spot ahead of Lamar Jackson's matchup. But he's also
- 57:45Speaker 14: looked really good last time out.
- 57:47Speaker 2: So if you if you say, had those two guys
- 57:49Speaker 2: in a super Flex League on paper, that would have
- 57:50Speaker 2: looked pretty good right on paper?
- 57:53Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean Jordan Loves kind of
- 57:56Speaker 14: a Jordan loved what have you done for me lately?
- 57:59Speaker 13: When he did do something on Thanksgiving?
- 58:01Speaker 2: But on paper that looks pretty good back in August?
- 58:05Speaker 2: Go ahead and do a radio show, Okay.
- 58:11Speaker 10: It gives them a takes DeVante Adams or she writes
- 58:14Speaker 10: Jacoby Myers or Debo just one, it says sit to so.
- 58:20Speaker 14: Debo, and I think I like Jacoby Myers, but given
- 58:25Speaker 14: the others, I think Jacoby is the other one.
- 58:27Speaker 10: I'd said, uh TD, Onlysette or Herbert.
- 58:35Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean Brissette's chucking the ball Toime, so gonna
- 58:40Speaker 14: go with Brissette.
- 58:40Speaker 10: There golf or love GoF Mahomes or Danny Dimes.
- 58:48Speaker 14: Mahomes going against Texans, but Jacksonville's actually been pretty decent
- 58:52Speaker 14: against quarterbacks.
- 58:53Speaker 13: To give me Pat.
- 58:54Speaker 2: Mahomes, pitts Er Ferguson. Uh.
- 58:57Speaker 14: There those are back to back. I'm going pits for
- 58:59Speaker 14: the re since I said about the Seahawks earlier.
- 59:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Baker mayfielder.
- 59:04Speaker 13: Jordan Love uh, Jordan Love.
- 59:07Speaker 2: Uh A J Brown or Scary Terry. Yeah, that's a.
- 59:11Speaker 13: That's a close one, but I'm gonna go a J.
- 59:12Speaker 12: Brown.
- 59:13Speaker 14: Huge game last week, but Chargers one of the best
- 59:16Speaker 14: in the business that's shutting down wide receivers. But I
- 59:18Speaker 14: like the trend for Brown the way he's been going
- 59:20Speaker 14: the last couple of weeks.
- 59:21Speaker 10: Love this question from the two oh six. Is Funston
- 59:24Speaker 10: real or is he an ai? You guys talk fantasy football.
- 59:27Speaker 2: With wow, Well, you know what the cats out of the.
- 59:31Speaker 14: Bag now, trust me, I'm never on the cutting edge
- 59:36Speaker 14: of tech.
- 59:42Speaker 2: Very much like what an A I would say, that's good.
- 59:45Speaker 2: Did you get our guy from Hilo, Hawaii?
- 59:47Speaker 10: By the way, I did not get from Hawaii Jackson
- 59:50Speaker 10: Darter Joe Burrow considering Jackson darts on I think Joe
- 59:53Speaker 10: Burrow is the answer.

- 1:03:17Speaker 2: are you doing today?
- 1:03:17Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 1:03:19Speaker 9: I'm just gonna tell you about all these ideas.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: It's the one thing that Softy and I are exactly
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: the same one. And I think it's just an old
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: school way of doing radio because when we first started
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: in radio, there was no internet. You didn't you know,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: you didn' can't just you know, do internet stuff and
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: look at text and Twitter and everything else. You just
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: had to go like you just had to riff. And
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: I think and I'd just rather do it that way.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: I know some people like could do it different. We're
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: all different, but you know those guys are all will
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: be prepped up. Jess, you don't worry.
- 1:03:46Speaker 12: I like it.
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: You'll probably be enjoying it a lot more than a
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: normal date, okay, or or you won't. I had the
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: same coffee experience you did it up in Anna chorus,
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: wanted a black coffee. Was thoroughly disappointed the coffee and
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: the view biggest waste of money they've ever spent. So
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: a minute, so MJ says he went to get himself.
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: He doesn't drink coffee, but he went through a coffee
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: barista stand yesterday, okay, to get a white chocolate something,
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: you know, like non coffee, non caffe ated. First of all,
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: you do you man, No caffeine, no alcohol is good
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: for you. Man. Yeah, provos calling, you know. But but whatever,
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: So he goes, and I had no idea these things existed.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: And it was a baristed bikini bearistastem Miami. Well apparently
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: they don't have those down there. He claims. There's no
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: such thing as bikini baristas in Florida. Now, how about this,
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: somebody can fact check that for me for tomorrow's crosstalk
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: and check and see if there's bikini baristas in Florida,
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: but he claims there weren't.
- 1:04:45Speaker 11: Everyone does walk around in a bikini like actual bikini Bearisa.
- 1:04:49Speaker 9: I know, so it might not.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: They're not in a bikini jazz. Sometimes they're in I
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: would probably phrase lingerie or stickers, whatever you want to say.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: But I told him, I said, I went to the
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: one down here on East Margin because coming from the
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: airport to here, when I come home from a long
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: road trips, I needed a coffee. I went there once
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: nine dollars coffee, worst thing I've ever had, and the
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: view was even worse.
- 1:05:08Speaker 11: I'll just say that, Yeah, oh, that's what you were referring.
- 1:05:13Speaker 11: There are bikini shops coffee shops in Miami, right.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: Send that to me, will you please? Because I think
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: he's they are on. I thought he was pulling the
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: old well. I mean some people may go there. I've
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: never been to one of those, okay, fella, I thought
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: it was a little sketchy. I have and first of all,
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: just go get some Swiss miss and make it at home.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: What do you need to spend five bucks for a
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: hot shop for hot chocolates? Yeah?
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: You know what they do have?
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: Now though, I just discovered this, and people canna say,
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: oh for now, they've had those three years. Uh little
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: you have a curry and me have a currying here
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: yeh yeah, Okay. They have hot chocolate pods. They do,
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: which was good because the other night we're decorating the
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: Christmas tree and it was just my wife and I
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: and my son Baled and so we're sitting there and
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: he's like, and you know, she goes, I want to
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: I want to hot chocolate and some schnops, my wife says,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, I know we got schnapps because
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: we have a pretty extense of flickor cat. I never
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: got that, but we didn't have any hot chocolate. So
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: I guess who had to bust ass up to the
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: old fred Meyer at five o'clock in the afternoon. Wasn't
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: was not my one. But yeah, they had been curing
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: hot It's the greatest deal ever.
- 1:06:15Speaker 11: It's awesome, yeah that they have that. I think they
- 1:06:17Speaker 11: have tea pods nowadays.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: There, yeah, yeah, yeah, but this is key. So yeah,
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: if you're just a pro tip, if you need schnops
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: and hot chocolate or schnaps, hot chocolate and some something else.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: I meant you know where you go? Oh, speaking of

- 1:12:28Speaker 8: I bet you, I bet you would you know, And
- 1:12:31Speaker 8: I mentioned last night before the game on the air,
- 1:12:33Speaker 8: I said, you know this, this kind of feels like
- 1:12:37Speaker 8: an emotional swing game for Husky fans, even though it's
- 1:12:41Speaker 8: game one of the Big Ten season. Yeah, a win
- 1:12:44Speaker 8: over uc LA, and you're like, hey, maybe this is different, right,
- 1:12:50Speaker 8: But if you lose then I've got guys on Twitter
- 1:12:53Speaker 8: bringing up all the stats again all they've lost seven
- 1:12:55Speaker 8: straight conference openers. That blow this and that it's just
- 1:12:59Speaker 8: the same team basketball team that we've seen the last
- 1:13:02Speaker 8: decade and I'm like, Okay, well it's not. First of all,
- 1:13:06Speaker 8: there's almost nobody here from any of those teams. Forty
- 1:13:12Speaker 8: percent of your team has been injured most of the season. Yeah,
- 1:13:16Speaker 8: and so like, so you're gonna fire a coach who's
- 1:13:19Speaker 8: had sixty percent of his roster and is six and
- 1:13:23Speaker 8: what five and three? And they just lost the game
- 1:13:26Speaker 8: in the last seconds to UCLA where they came back
- 1:13:29Speaker 8: from a sixteen point deficit and turned it into a
- 1:13:31Speaker 8: one point game with thirty seconds left to go.
- 1:13:33Speaker 16: I mean, I just but I get it. I mean,
- 1:13:36Speaker 16: I get it.
- 1:13:36Speaker 8: That's fans are fanatics, and they're sick and tired of losing.
- 1:13:40Speaker 8: And I don't think the losing's gonna last much more.
- 1:13:43Speaker 8: It's just they got to get these guys healthy and
- 1:13:44Speaker 8: they gotta get them playing basketball together, because I don't know,
- 1:13:48Speaker 8: if you've seen January schedule, it is murderer's freaking row.
- 1:13:53Speaker 16: Well, this calendar turns the James.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: I mean, you got one, two, three, three teams in
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: the top seven in the country in the Big Ten.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Three other teams ranked the top twenty five. UCLA just
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: dropped out, but probably shit there, like the second team
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: out at Iowa was Io was twenty six, Ucla is
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: twenty seven, Nebraska is twenty eight. Okay, so just think
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: about that. And oh, by the way, the team that
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: you lost to as although they just dropped out, the
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: next team coming in here is undefeated at seven to zero,
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: and you at USC It's a tough conference. I listen,
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: I watched that game last night, a good chunk of it.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: And you know he's got talent. You've got a lottery
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: pick playing in the front line that is maybe the
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: best offensive rebounder in the country. Like so good, Like
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: just people relax, just ye like I'm telling Husky fans
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: to relax. Come on, Why am I the one has
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: to be the voice of reason besides fain Huh? Come on,
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: it's just I mean this starting on. Here's how twenty
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: twenty six opens for Danny Sprinkle. How about at twenty
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: second rank Indiana, followed by at number one Perdue. Then
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: you've got Ohio State and third ranked Michigan and seventh
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: ranked Michigan State at home, and then two weeks later
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: you got at fourteenth rank Illinois.
- 1:15:01Speaker 16: Now the good news is once.
- 1:15:03Speaker 8: January's over, you can make a run because there's a
- 1:15:08Speaker 8: lot of teams on your schedule that you're better than that.
- 1:15:10Speaker 16: But that's the that's the thing.
- 1:15:12Speaker 8: If they're if they're one in five or zero to
- 1:15:15Speaker 8: six in those games that I just mentioned, doesn't really matter.
- 1:15:19Speaker 16: If you make a run in fetors, it might be
- 1:15:21Speaker 16: too little.
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: Too late, real quick. Just would you be disappointed if
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: this team's not a tournament team this year?
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:15:27Speaker 16: I would, I would.
- 1:15:28Speaker 3: I would think so.
- 1:15:29Speaker 8: I think. I think it really depends on, you know,
- 1:15:33Speaker 8: when how healthy they are, if they're if they're healthy
- 1:15:35Speaker 8: for a majority of the season, they get Nasovitch back
- 1:15:39Speaker 8: and he's healthy for a good chunk of the Big ten,
- 1:15:42Speaker 8: and they still don't make the tournament.
- 1:15:43Speaker 16: I think that's a disappointment.
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: A lot of people think they're a tournament team. Mean, listen,
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: Minnesota's better nicos Can coach and we saw that at
