Chuck in the Morning 9/8 H4: Rick Neuheisel, "Not Zero" and one last thing! · Chuck in the Morning

0:19
Speaker 1: Oh, that's aggravating. I'm going to tell you what, it's
0:22
Speaker 1: not important. I'm just aggravated right now. And everybody should
0:27
Speaker 1: know that. That's important. I'm going to have to do
0:31
Speaker 1: this later. Well, hello. Great morning to you. Nine o'clock
0:35
Speaker 1: hour here on this Tuesday. My name is Chuck Powell.
0:38
Speaker 1: Ashley Ryan here as well. Coming up a little bit
0:41
Speaker 1: later on this hour, we'll close out the show with
0:43
Speaker 1: one last thing. We also have a brand new game
0:46
Speaker 1: called Not Zero, inspired really by Hugh Millen, to be
0:50
Speaker 1: quite honest. So we're going to play that for the
0:52
Speaker 1: first time today, Ashley and I. at 9.30 this morning.
0:56
Speaker 1: And then in a matter of moments, we will be
0:58
Speaker 1: joined by our college football insider for a second week
1:02
Speaker 1: of the brand new college football season. And now he's
1:05
Speaker 1: got all of this information at his fingertips. He's watched
1:08
Speaker 1: every single game in America. And now he's got a
1:13
Speaker 1: firm grasp on what's about to happen in our lives
1:16
Speaker 1: over the course of the next few months. It's former
1:19
Speaker 1: UW head coach. It is CBS Sports, let's face it,
1:23
Speaker 1: best analyst Rick Neuheisel joins us here on the radio show.
1:27
Speaker 2: Hi, Coach. Oh, you embarrass me, Chuck. You embarrass me.
1:32
Speaker 2: How the heck are you, man?
1:33
Speaker 1: Doing great. What did you think of that crazy first week?
1:35
Speaker 2: You're 1-0. The Huskies get rid of a pesky Cougar
1:41
Speaker 2: squad that just wouldn't quite go away.
1:43
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:44
Speaker 1: Give me your first read. I mean, I frankly feel, Coach,
1:48
Speaker 1: and this goes to both the National Football League and
1:51
Speaker 1: college football, that... the sport now because you don't really
1:56
Speaker 1: tackle and practice anymore and preseason football and National Football League,
2:00
Speaker 1: they don't really play games. I think it's hard to
2:04
Speaker 1: come out of the gates looking like you should look.
2:07
Speaker 1: And it seemed to me that every coach in America
2:09
Speaker 1: that won over the weekend is Their post-game interview was
2:12
Speaker 1: something like this. We got a lot to clean up,
2:15
Speaker 1: but we're glad we won. So I don't know if
2:18
Speaker 1: I can even ask you for your first blush opinion
2:21
Speaker 1: on the Washington Huskies because it's colored by the fact
2:24
Speaker 1: that we know that's not going to be what they're
2:28
Speaker 1: going to be a couple weeks from now.
2:30
Speaker 2: You just can't afford to practice fully live football. You
2:36
Speaker 2: just can't afford to do it. Uh, as, as Jed
2:39
Speaker 2: found out after his running back room took a major
2:43
Speaker 2: hit over the weekend, he loses both Quade Carr and
2:46
Speaker 2: Jaden Limmer. Uh, and, and I mean, when you lose
2:50
Speaker 2: two guys that are, you're counting on to be, uh,
2:54
Speaker 2: big producers at that position, that is a head scratcher
2:57
Speaker 2: and then some. So, uh, I feel bad, uh, for
3:01
Speaker 2: the two kids. Hopefully they'll be back before, uh, long, but, uh,
3:05
Speaker 2: It just reminds you why you can't tackle as often
3:09
Speaker 2: as you'd like in practice.
3:12
Speaker 1: Yeah. And look, I think what they're doing now is
3:16
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. But if you're going to
3:19
Speaker 1: practice that way, you're probably not going to be your
3:22
Speaker 1: sharpest on week number one.
3:25
Speaker 2: Is that fair? That's absolutely fair. Absolutely fair. You just
3:30
Speaker 2: need to make sure that what the lone exception to that,
3:33
Speaker 2: you know, is is Boise State over the weekend. Boise State,
3:36
Speaker 2: I guess, decided because last year they were one of
3:39
Speaker 2: the worst tackling teams in the country that they were
3:43
Speaker 2: going to tackle live in practice. And it certainly showed up.
3:47
Speaker 2: They gave Oregon everything they wanted and largely because they
3:51
Speaker 2: were so good at open field tackling.
3:54
Speaker 1: Um, before we get off of the Lamar Carr topic
3:57
Speaker 1: with the Huskies running back, I mean, what does that
4:00
Speaker 1: do to you as a college coach already? Not the
4:04
Speaker 1: greatest room for Jed Fish. I mean, you're starting, um,
4:07
Speaker 1: a freshman, um, uh, in, in week number one, and
4:11
Speaker 1: now you're down to your third string running back by
4:13
Speaker 1: week number two. How, how big of a blow is
4:16
Speaker 1: that to, to him and the program?
4:20
Speaker 2: Well, you're having to start to rethink exactly how you
4:24
Speaker 2: go about cobbling together your offense. Obviously, your quarterback, DeMond Williams,
4:30
Speaker 2: needs a running game to go along with him if
4:33
Speaker 2: he's going to be at his best. So you're trying
4:38
Speaker 2: to figure out exactly how many times can you have
4:40
Speaker 2: DeMond carrying the ball so that you can help these
4:45
Speaker 2: other running backs play. uh, be in position to, uh,
4:50
Speaker 2: be productive and, and help the team, but you're missing
4:53
Speaker 2: Jonah Coleman and Adam Muhammad. There's no question about it. Uh,
4:57
Speaker 2: because that was such a luxury from a year ago. Uh,
5:00
Speaker 2: so you're absolutely now trying to cobble together a plan
5:05
Speaker 2: that you, you don't put too much on demand, but
5:09
Speaker 2: you certainly understand that, uh, for us to be good,
5:13
Speaker 2: Trey Cooley and company have to be, uh, Count it off.
5:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. Obviously, the defense is very impressive. We don't know
5:21
Speaker 1: how good the Cougs' offense is. And yet, they stifled
5:26
Speaker 1: them for four quarters. And yet, a lot of really
5:31
Speaker 1: dumb penalties in the game. So, do you chalk that
5:34
Speaker 1: up as a head coach to just over-emotional? Rivalry game
5:38
Speaker 1: to start the season? I mean, that's just a lot
5:42
Speaker 1: on the emotion meter. Or do you worry that you
5:45
Speaker 1: got a little problem on your hands here?
5:49
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, when you start to look at that
5:52
Speaker 2: you held Washington State 0 of 9 on third down,
5:55
Speaker 2: you got to feel good about that. When you held
5:57
Speaker 2: them to 142 yards passing, you got to feel really
6:01
Speaker 2: good about that. They only had 100 yards rushing. Certainly,
6:04
Speaker 2: you don't like 12 penalties, but as long as you
6:08
Speaker 2: break down penalties, are they lack of concentration penalties or
6:12
Speaker 2: are they effort penalties? And so that's going to be
6:15
Speaker 2: the focus between now and the second time you play.
6:19
Speaker 2: Get rid of those focus penalties, but continue to play
6:23
Speaker 2: as aggressively as you showed you can.
6:26
Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel is with us. Our college football insider is
6:29
Speaker 1: going to be joining us again this year at 9
6:31
Speaker 1: o'clock every Tuesday. Thanks to delicious, delicious, delicious taco time.
6:35
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about that Michigan game. Awesome. How
6:42
Speaker 1: out of your mind would you be if you're Western
6:45
Speaker 1: Michigan's coach?
6:47
Speaker 2: I think this is the first week that I really
6:49
Speaker 2: have appreciated social media. I really appreciate the different things
6:54
Speaker 2: that I've seen out there. Just trolling Michigan in this wind.
6:58
Speaker 2: Did you see the latest video where Harbaugh comes out
7:01
Speaker 2: of his, the ghost of Harbaugh comes out there with
7:04
Speaker 2: a bag of money to give to the official? That's
7:07
Speaker 2: an AI-generated deal. You've got all, I mean, it's incredible.
7:15
Speaker 2: The sign, welcome to Ann Arbor, please set your clocks
7:18
Speaker 2: back one second. That's a beautiful one. It's on and
7:22
Speaker 2: on it goes.
7:23
Speaker 1: Did you see the one where somebody posted, prior to
7:26
Speaker 1: Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352-0 when leading after
7:33
Speaker 1: the end of regulation.
7:34
Speaker 2: Since 1869. Yeah, exactly. Listen, it can't happen. I don't know.
7:47
Speaker 2: What clock are we watching? Why in the world would
7:51
Speaker 2: we not be watching the actual clock? This was FIFA.
7:55
Speaker 2: This is extra time. I mean, like it was my
7:59
Speaker 2: biggest complaint of watching the summer's, you know, extravaganza here
8:03
Speaker 2: in the States. And what are we? We're just going
8:08
Speaker 2: to play until the official decides it's enough. I mean,
8:11
Speaker 2: why can't we put some clock up there so we
8:14
Speaker 2: actually know when the game is over? And yet we
8:16
Speaker 2: can't do it ourselves now. It is a gap. If
8:21
Speaker 2: you go back and you see nine seconds or eight seconds,
8:24
Speaker 2: whatever was on the clock when he started to play,
8:26
Speaker 2: and you count it down yourself, you still get to zero.
8:33
Speaker 2: It's a tough one. And yet maybe the most disregarded
8:38
Speaker 2: element of the whole fiasco is the unbelievable class with
8:43
Speaker 2: which Western Michigan handled it. I mean, the president, the
8:48
Speaker 2: head coach, they were absolutely first class with their remarks
8:54
Speaker 2: and dealing with what had to be an incredibly gut-wrenching loss.
9:01
Speaker 1: But was that the right play? I mean, would you
9:04
Speaker 1: have lost your mind? Should you have lost your mind?
9:07
Speaker 1: Should you still be fighting it to this day, considering
9:10
Speaker 1: how controversial it was?
9:13
Speaker 2: It lends itself to another conspiracy theory, Chuck. It lends
9:17
Speaker 2: itself that they must have been promised another game because
9:20
Speaker 2: that's a big money game. And that's probably a couple
9:24
Speaker 2: of million bucks to go and play in that place.
9:26
Speaker 2: And that's a budget paying game, right? And I wouldn't
9:31
Speaker 2: be surprised if somebody went and said, look, I know
9:35
Speaker 2: this is a tough one. You handle it the right way.
9:37
Speaker 2: We'll make it up to you. I don't have any idea.
9:42
Speaker 2: It was unusually poised for the situation that we just watched.
9:50
Speaker 1: I do know, and you know, every football fan knows this,
9:53
Speaker 1: that the official clock is the one that is kept
9:56
Speaker 1: by the officials, right?
9:58
Speaker 3: Yes.
10:00
Speaker 1: Maybe there is an extra second. It's just hard for
10:03
Speaker 1: any of us to believe that in the year 2026
10:05
Speaker 1: with all the technology— So we.
10:06
Speaker 2: Had Bruce Feldman. We had Bruce Feldman on our— air yesterday,
10:11
Speaker 2: and he had talked to Mike Pereira, who's like the
10:15
Speaker 2: guru of officiating right for Fox, and comes on and
10:18
Speaker 2: explains rules and explains replay and so forth, even though
10:22
Speaker 2: Mike was wildly wrong in a couple of renegade games
10:25
Speaker 2: in the UFL season. He usually... A good source. He's
10:30
Speaker 2: usually a good source of information. And he said, had
10:34
Speaker 2: this happened in the NFL, they would never have changed
10:37
Speaker 2: the outcome because what the public saw is too important.
10:42
Speaker 2: You can't have the public seeing something and then it
10:44
Speaker 2: not be accurate. He said that had happened in the NFL.
10:49
Speaker 2: They would have gone with what the public saw and
10:51
Speaker 2: called the game in favor of Western Michigan. He said
10:55
Speaker 2: there was another clock and the clock did have a discrepancy,
10:59
Speaker 2: but they would never have done that because of the
11:03
Speaker 2: amount of attention paid to scores and outcomes.
11:07
Speaker 1: Well, let's face it, the gambling community, like the people
11:10
Speaker 1: that had money on that game.
11:13
Speaker 2: 100%. A money line bet on Western Michigan right there
11:17
Speaker 2: had to be an exorbitant pay.
11:20
Speaker 1: And you just had it taken away from you. Oh, man.
11:23
Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel is with us, our college football. insider. And yeah,
11:28
Speaker 1: we could probably do four hours on that particular issue
11:31
Speaker 1: right there, but let's try to cover some other ground.
11:34
Speaker 1: I mean, we've already talked about like Oregon didn't get
11:36
Speaker 1: off to a great start. I don't think UW really
11:39
Speaker 1: got going until the fourth quarter. Notre Dame didn't get
11:41
Speaker 1: going until the second half, but give me a team
11:44
Speaker 1: out there that really did impress you, or maybe a
11:46
Speaker 1: player that kind of popped for you in the opening
11:49
Speaker 1: week that we need to be aware of because there
11:52
Speaker 1: could be some great stuff coming.
11:55
Speaker 2: Well, Malachi Toney would be the player. He and his
11:59
Speaker 2: new quarterback, Darian Menza, were incredible in their opening game
12:05
Speaker 2: against Stanford, and we'll wait and see how good Stanford is.
12:08
Speaker 2: There's some questions there, but my goodness, was that an
12:11
Speaker 2: impressive beginning performance for that little battery of fantastic players.
12:20
Speaker 2: The LSU beatdown of Clemson was... Epic. I mean, 644
12:27
Speaker 2: yards of offense on a Clemson defense is eye-opening. But
12:33
Speaker 2: maybe even more eye-opening is you held Clemson to less
12:37
Speaker 2: than 200 yards of offense. And you did it on
12:40
Speaker 2: defense as well. Lane Kiffin has been all over the news.
12:44
Speaker 2: The Dr. Pepper commercial will be the most watched commercial
12:49
Speaker 2: in college football history. Cause he rolls up that window,
12:52
Speaker 2: just like you would expect lane to roll up that window.
12:56
Speaker 2: And it is, he's going to make a zillion dollars
13:00
Speaker 2: on Dr. Pepper ads. Cause they're not going to be
13:02
Speaker 2: able to get enough of them. Cause he's so, he's so,
13:06
Speaker 2: you know, uh, I won't say you love him or
13:10
Speaker 2: you hate him. He's just so viewable. But that team
13:15
Speaker 2: looked the part. And I wonder if we're watching the
13:18
Speaker 2: end of the Davo era. Because as much as he
13:22
Speaker 2: wants to make us believe in baseball, hot dogs, apple pie,
13:25
Speaker 2: and Davo Sweeney, that was a beatdown.
13:29
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. And the ACC got beat down in the opening week,
13:33
Speaker 1: and they didn't exactly have a great year a year ago.
13:35
Speaker 1: And I get that Miami's in there, and they might
13:37
Speaker 1: make things really easy on the committee at the end
13:41
Speaker 1: of this season because they do look like the real deal.
13:43
Speaker 1: But ACC in trouble? I mean, their reputation and their
13:47
Speaker 1: status as a big four conference out there?
13:52
Speaker 2: I love Miami. I think Miami's a playoff team. I
13:55
Speaker 2: don't think there's any question about it. SMU, Kevin Jennings
13:58
Speaker 2: was really impressive last night. I kind of like them.
14:03
Speaker 2: Virginia is going to be sneaky good because they beat
14:07
Speaker 2: North Carolina State badly in week one or week zero.
14:13
Speaker 2: They've got a quarterback that can run in Bo Pribula,
14:16
Speaker 2: and they don't play Miami. They don't play Clemson, and
14:19
Speaker 2: they don't play Louisville. So to me, that sets them
14:24
Speaker 2: as a team to watch. Louisville got beat, but Louisville
14:27
Speaker 2: was impressive. I'm anxious. And then Mason Heinschel, this quarterback
14:33
Speaker 2: for Pitt, threw for well over 407 touchdowns. They get
14:38
Speaker 2: UCF this weekend. I can't wait to watch that game
14:41
Speaker 2: to see if Heinschel is the next Dan Marino.
14:45
Speaker 1: Well, they've got something if he is. I'm just going
14:48
Speaker 1: to go on record and say that. They've got something
14:51
Speaker 1: cooking there if he's the next Dan Marino. Rick Neuheisel,
14:54
Speaker 1: our guest. Well, let's talk about this week. And, of course,
14:57
Speaker 1: the big one is Ohio State-Texas rematch from a year
15:01
Speaker 1: ago to start the season. Week number two this year
15:04
Speaker 1: and this year in Austin, Texas, where it's expected to
15:08
Speaker 1: be over 100 degrees on Saturday in Austin. So, I mean...
15:16
Speaker 1: People want that big matchup at the beginning of the year.
15:19
Speaker 1: These two programs have delivered two years in a row.
15:23
Speaker 1: How do you see this one going down?
15:26
Speaker 2: Well, both are obviously much more experienced than they were
15:30
Speaker 2: a year ago at the quarterback position. So I think
15:33
Speaker 2: it can be more of an offensive game than it
15:36
Speaker 2: was in the 14-7 game that we watched a year ago.
15:39
Speaker 2: And both coordinators will feel more comfortable taking more shots
15:44
Speaker 2: down the field, which will be entertaining to watch. You know,
15:48
Speaker 2: if you're just judging the statistics, and both teams were
15:51
Speaker 2: wildly impressive in victories over Ball State and Texas State, respectively.
15:57
Speaker 2: But if you look at the numbers, it looks to
15:59
Speaker 2: me like Ohio State has a little bit of a
16:02
Speaker 2: head start in running the football and defending the run.
16:06
Speaker 2: Texas gave up more yards than they wanted on the ground.
16:10
Speaker 2: Will Muschamp, the new defensive coordinator, is not going to
16:12
Speaker 2: be pleased with that. They'll be better this week, especially
16:16
Speaker 2: with the excitement of a game against a team like
16:20
Speaker 2: Ohio State and the magnitude of the contest. But if
16:24
Speaker 2: I'm leaning right now, even though they're on the road,
16:27
Speaker 2: I'm going to lean Buckeyes. Oh, guys. Oh, boy.
16:31
Speaker 1: But it's a slight lean. Matthew McConaughey would like a
16:33
Speaker 1: word with you, by the way. Do you know he
16:36
Speaker 1: names his jacket?
16:37
Speaker 2: He'll say, all right, all right, all right. Let's sit
16:40
Speaker 2: down and talk about this. Yeah.
16:41
Speaker 1: Do you know that that orange, the burnt orange, like,
16:44
Speaker 1: leather jacket that he wears?
16:46
Speaker 2: By the way, by the way, as we're talking, Texas,
16:49
Speaker 2: did you see Arch Manning run out of the tunnel
16:52
Speaker 2: last week in the fog machine?
16:54
Speaker 1: No, I did not.
16:56
Speaker 2: They almost lost him for the year. He literally gets
17:00
Speaker 2: grabbed by a fan as he's running and he can't see.
17:04
Speaker 2: And then he trips over something because the fog is
17:07
Speaker 2: such he can't see it and goes ass over tea
17:11
Speaker 2: kettle under the ground. And I'm like, oh, my God,
17:16
Speaker 2: are they lucky that he got up from that? Because
17:18
Speaker 2: he doesn't. He doesn't see where he's falling.
17:21
Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
17:22
Speaker 2: It is. It's out there in the ether. You need
17:25
Speaker 2: to look it up. It'll make you. It'll make you.
17:28
Speaker 2: Holy smokes. How lucky are they? All right.
17:32
Speaker 1: So Ohio State, Texas. You got Michigan, Oklahoma on Saturday
17:36
Speaker 1: as well. Obviously, Michigan's not off to a great start
17:41
Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion. So do they have
17:44
Speaker 1: much of a shot here against Oklahoma and the Sooners?
17:49
Speaker 2: You know, they do because they have a defense, and
17:52
Speaker 2: that's Kyle Whittingham's baby. And they're going to have a
17:57
Speaker 2: Michigan versus everybody mentality again, given what's happened over the
18:01
Speaker 2: course of this week. Thankfully, they still have those sweatshirts
18:04
Speaker 2: from a couple years ago, and they'll be ready to
18:08
Speaker 2: wear them again. I think it's like a 13-10, 13-7 game.
18:14
Speaker 2: I've got to see John Mateer take over from the
18:18
Speaker 2: pocket and show that he can throw the ball and
18:21
Speaker 2: make all kinds of plays. And until I do, I
18:25
Speaker 2: just think Oklahoma's going to be a little bit pedestrian offense.
18:28
Speaker 2: They're absolutely blue bloods on defense. Venables is one of
18:33
Speaker 2: the best in the business, but so too is Kyle
18:36
Speaker 2: and his defensive staff. So I think it's a low-scoring game.
18:39
Speaker 2: And while everybody's going to think Oklahoma's going to blow
18:43
Speaker 2: them out, I think it's going to be really close
18:45
Speaker 2: down the stretch.
18:46
Speaker 1: Mateer's all body-builded up. I don't know if that's exactly...
18:51
Speaker 1: what you would encourage from your quarterback. But I mean,
18:55
Speaker 1: he's like Schwarzenegger out there right now.
18:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that he has all the throws.
19:03
Speaker 2: He's kind of, to me, a fastball pitcher, which means
19:07
Speaker 2: he should come in in the ninth, you know, and
19:08
Speaker 2: close things out. The Eraldis Chapman of the world. I'm
19:13
Speaker 2: not sure he's got all the trajectory throws and all
19:16
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. But he's a fabulous player, a
19:19
Speaker 2: fabulous competitor. And his legs, whoever, whichever quarterback runs for
19:25
Speaker 2: the most yardage might be the quarterback that wins.
19:27
Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. I think we got to mention Iowa State, right?
19:30
Speaker 1: The Cy Hawk. What do you think of that matchup?
19:34
Speaker 2: Well, it's an interesting one, especially now that Matt Campbell's
19:38
Speaker 2: not there. But Jimmy Rogers got out of the box
19:42
Speaker 2: fast for Iowa State. The old Washington State Cougar coach
19:49
Speaker 2: is now the guy there. They get a nice win
19:52
Speaker 2: over Southeast Missouri, 38-10. But the way Iowa ran the
19:59
Speaker 2: ball and having 500 yards of offense, which is like
20:03
Speaker 2: unheard of. It usually takes three games for them to
20:06
Speaker 2: get 500 yards of offense there. uh, is eyeopening. I'm
20:10
Speaker 2: going to say Iowa by a couple of touchdowns. Okay.
20:14
Speaker 1: Um, do we know anything about Utah state? You got
20:17
Speaker 1: anything you can pass along about the, uh, Aggies, the
20:20
Speaker 1: fighting Bobby Wagner's this weekend that the Huskies face.
20:25
Speaker 2: I don't know enough about the Aggies to get this
20:29
Speaker 2: one in the books for you. I know this, that
20:33
Speaker 2: Jed isn't worried about Utah State as much as he's
20:36
Speaker 2: worried about his running game. And that will be the
20:41
Speaker 2: emphasis this week is how to cobble together a running
20:44
Speaker 2: game so that they can be ready when Minnesota gets
20:47
Speaker 2: to town in conference play here at the end of
20:49
Speaker 2: the month.
20:50
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I didn't do your Taco Time Pick
20:52
Speaker 1: of the Week. I was having mercy on you because
20:54
Speaker 1: you haven't seen anybody play to this point in the season.
20:57
Speaker 2: That was awfully nice of you.
20:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yet people were bothered. They missed their Taco
21:02
Speaker 1: Time Pick of the Week from Coach Neuheisel, so I'm
21:04
Speaker 1: certainly not going to miss it today. So give me
21:07
Speaker 1: that gem of yours.
21:10
Speaker 2: We are going to go... We're going to go to
21:17
Speaker 2: the ACC, I believe. Actually, there's a bunch of inter-conference
21:21
Speaker 2: games this week. And I am curious to see a
21:26
Speaker 2: number of them. Obviously, Texas and Ohio State leading off.
21:30
Speaker 2: You know what? Let's just stay there. Let's just stay there.
21:32
Speaker 2: I'm going with Ohio State. Ohio State's a one-and-a-half-point underdog.
21:38
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Buckeyes.
21:39
Speaker 1: Okay.
21:40
Speaker 3: All right.
21:41
Speaker 1: Uh, he's on the record now, the taco time pick
21:43
Speaker 1: of the week, the first of the year from a
21:45
Speaker 1: coach new eyes will hear in the mornings. Uh, anyway, uh,
21:49
Speaker 1: I'll let softy and Fane buggy another time. Um, all right. Uh, well,
21:53
Speaker 1: thank you, sir. We appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
21:55
Speaker 1: Where are you going to be stationed this weekend? What
21:58
Speaker 1: game you got?
21:59
Speaker 2: We've got Minnesota hosting Mississippi State, a matchup of two
22:04
Speaker 2: young quarterbacks that I think names are going to be
22:07
Speaker 2: pretty popular by year's end. Drake Lindsey for Minnesota and
22:11
Speaker 2: Camario Taylor for Mississippi State. He's a Battlestar Galactica-looking guy
22:18
Speaker 2: that looks like he can do everything.
22:20
Speaker 1: All right. Sounds awesome.
22:21
Speaker 2: Thanks, Coach.
22:22
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week.
22:24
Speaker 2: All right, look forward to it. Take care now.
22:26
Speaker 1: The one, the only, Rick Neuheisel joining us here on
22:29
Speaker 1: the program. And, of course, this segment always brought to
22:31
Speaker 1: you by Taco Time. Gosh, every time I say it,
22:34
Speaker 1: I just want some. I saw Ian eating some yesterday.
22:38
Speaker 3: I want some fries, tots, whatever. I don't remember what
22:42
Speaker 3: we're allowed to call them nowadays.
22:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. But Ian had like this big fat burrito from
22:49
Speaker 1: there yesterday, and he was eating it right in front
22:51
Speaker 1: of me. That was rude. Yeah. And I don't think
22:54
Speaker 1: I've ever had a burrito at Taco Time. Oh, yeah.
22:56
Speaker 3: I do recall now seeing the Taco Time bag on
22:58
Speaker 3: his desk when I came. Oh, it looked fantastic. It
23:00
Speaker 3: seemed like he just brought it here to rub it in.
23:03
Speaker 1: Probably.
23:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:04
Speaker 1: He's a jerk that way.
23:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
23:05
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next on the program, it's our
23:07
Speaker 1: first time we're ever going to play this. Maybe the
23:09
Speaker 1: only time we ever play it. We play the Not
23:11
Speaker 1: Zero game on KJR.
23:14
Speaker 3: I do love him. He's great.
23:15
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, is he good. And yet he sings
23:18
Speaker 1: of nothing but depressed stuff.
23:20
Speaker 3: Correct.
23:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:21
Speaker 3: No, it's not happy music.
23:23
Speaker 1: No, he's not an uplifter.
23:25
Speaker 3: That's like good winter cleaning your house music. It's cold outside,
23:32
Speaker 3: you're cozy inside, you're doing the last minute chores. cleaning
23:35
Speaker 3: then you're going to pour yourself a glass of.
23:37
Speaker 1: Wine interesting that that's where you went i'm pretty much
23:40
Speaker 1: just that's good pour your glass of wine music.
23:42
Speaker 3: Yeah that too i just figured i should be productive
23:45
Speaker 3: before i drink the wine uh.
23:47
Speaker 1: Yeah uh but he does uh he sings of woe
23:51
Speaker 1: yeah he does what he does with a scratchy voice.
23:54
Speaker 3: Woads of woe woads of.
23:56
Speaker 1: Woe from ray from way la montaigne But I wanted
24:00
Speaker 1: to use it as a segment here on the radio
24:03
Speaker 1: program today, partly inspired by Ray LaMontagne, partly inspired by
24:08
Speaker 1: Hugh Millen. Two very similar people.
24:10
Speaker 3: Yeah. I often think of one when I think of
24:13
Speaker 3: the other.
24:15
Speaker 1: Don't you?
24:15
Speaker 2: Yeah.
24:16
Speaker 1: But Hugh always, you know, Hugh's a math guy, right? Mm-hmm.
24:21
Speaker 1: And whenever he brings up, when anybody, me or any
24:24
Speaker 1: other host, asks him about an injury, you worried about this?
24:28
Speaker 1: Or if somebody's not playing that well, you worried about this?
24:31
Speaker 1: And usually the response is something to the effect of, well,
24:35
Speaker 1: it's not zero.
24:36
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, the second I saw the thing and I
24:38
Speaker 3: was like, I know I've heard that, but I can't
24:40
Speaker 3: think of a word. Then when he said it was
24:41
Speaker 3: inspired by Hugh, I was like, oh, yes.
24:42
Speaker 2: Right. Right.
24:43
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean- What do you think about the chances
24:46
Speaker 1: that the Huskies have of playing the game on the
24:50
Speaker 1: moon this weekend? Well, it's not zero.
24:53
Speaker 3: It's not zero.
24:54
Speaker 1: We do have the technology. I mean, it's very unlikely,
24:57
Speaker 1: but it's not zero.
24:59
Speaker 3: I'd say that might be zero. This weekend. Maybe now,
25:03
Speaker 3: if you were asking in two weeks. That wouldn't be zero.
25:05
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're right. It'd probably be hard to put
25:07
Speaker 1: together by Saturday. Anyway, not zero the game. And so
25:13
Speaker 1: we've got a few things here prior to tomorrow. I mean,
25:16
Speaker 1: the game starts tomorrow and we're not 100% locked in
25:21
Speaker 1: on all this stuff. We got some things to be
25:24
Speaker 1: concerned about, maybe worried a little bit. Definitely not zero.
25:29
Speaker 1: So I want to go through a few things. I
25:33
Speaker 1: know that None of the answers are zero because the
25:38
Speaker 1: game's called not zero.
25:39
Speaker 3: So specifically they can't be.
25:41
Speaker 1: Yes. So I need you to give me, and we
25:43
Speaker 1: can just do the run of the mill one through
25:46
Speaker 1: ten because nothing can be zero.
25:48
Speaker 3: Okay.
25:49
Speaker 1: Where you are with your worry in some of these areas.
25:53
Speaker 2: Okay.
25:53
Speaker 1: So let's start with the obvious one we've already talked
25:55
Speaker 1: about a few times in the last two days. The secondary,
25:59
Speaker 1: we're down Ty Okada potentially. Looks like we're definitely going
26:02
Speaker 1: to be down Nicky Manwari for this game. We're down
26:05
Speaker 1: Bud Clark for sure for this game. DeAnthony Bell suddenly
26:09
Speaker 1: is going to be probably launched into a very pivotal
26:12
Speaker 1: role tomorrow against... the runner-up for the MVP at quarterback,
26:17
Speaker 1: and his brand-new wide receiver one that he didn't even
26:20
Speaker 1: have a year ago. And so where are we in
26:25
Speaker 1: terms of our concern or worry? Because it's not zero.
26:28
Speaker 3: Definitely not zero. I'd say I'm at about a four
26:32
Speaker 3: because of A.J.
26:33
Speaker 1: Brown.
26:34
Speaker 3: That's basically it. It's not even necessarily that Drake Mays
26:36
Speaker 3: throwing to him. It's just A.J. Brown and his size
26:38
Speaker 3: and his speed and his skill. And, you know, to
26:41
Speaker 3: be down so much... Against a player like that, I
26:45
Speaker 3: feel like you'd be naive to not have a little
26:47
Speaker 3: bit of a concern.
26:48
Speaker 1: Well, I have already predicted 17-9. Yes. So that's probably
26:55
Speaker 1: not going to result in a lot of offense.
26:57
Speaker 3: Probably not.
26:58
Speaker 1: A score like that from the New England Patriots. And
27:01
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to put the worry all that
27:05
Speaker 1: high on this. But if there was one area where
27:09
Speaker 1: I didn't really want to be deficient. Mm-hmm. This is
27:13
Speaker 1: probably it. I think they're going to be sloppy. I
27:15
Speaker 1: think we're going to be sloppy offensively, and that could
27:18
Speaker 1: save us in this game. Otherwise, if this is middle
27:23
Speaker 1: of the season and we're without three of your four
27:27
Speaker 1: safeties and you're having to face Drake May in a
27:32
Speaker 1: rhythm with A.J. Brown, then I'm probably going to rank
27:35
Speaker 1: this pretty high, frankly. But right now, I'm going to
27:39
Speaker 1: go even under you. I'm going to put it at
27:40
Speaker 1: like a three. That's where I am.
27:44
Speaker 3: I was debating there, but I didn't want to go half.
27:46
Speaker 3: So I increased, so I like that. We're about the
27:48
Speaker 3: same there.
27:49
Speaker 1: We're in the same neighborhood. It's not zero, though.
27:52
Speaker 3: No, it's definitely not zero.
27:53
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that, because there is something to be
27:55
Speaker 1: a little bit worried about, a little bit concerned about.
27:58
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the running backs. We have not seen
28:01
Speaker 1: Jadarian Price get a carry in an NFL game. He
28:06
Speaker 1: did have an injury earlier in training camp. That's not
28:10
Speaker 1: an issue whatsoever. Heard from everybody, especially Greg. That's not
28:14
Speaker 1: an issue. He was just bubble-wrapped for concerns of something
28:19
Speaker 1: going wrong in the preseason games that had nothing to
28:21
Speaker 1: do with a lingering injury situation. George Helani is still
28:25
Speaker 1: second on our depth chart. Speaking of humility, he doesn't
28:29
Speaker 1: like it. And then Emmanuel Wilson, who also had injuries,
28:33
Speaker 1: and we didn't get to see him in the preseason either.
28:36
Speaker 1: Got to see a little bit of Helani. We haven't
28:37
Speaker 1: seen anything of Emmanuel Wilson.
28:39
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
28:40
Speaker 1: He's completely off the injury list right now, full participation
28:43
Speaker 1: in practice. So we do have the three guys we
28:48
Speaker 1: were expecting to have because we weren't expecting to have
28:51
Speaker 1: Zach Charbonnet. And yet, you still got to be at
28:55
Speaker 1: least a little worried about the running back room. It's
28:57
Speaker 1: not zero.
28:58
Speaker 3: Nope, definitely not zero. It makes me uncomfortable, honestly. And
29:02
Speaker 3: it is my biggest... Concern, even over the secondary, but
29:07
Speaker 3: also my biggest intrigue, because especially with Jadarian Price, I mean, gosh,
29:11
Speaker 3: it's like looking at a brand new toy that no
29:15
Speaker 3: one's ever gotten before, and you're going to be the
29:17
Speaker 3: first one to get it, opening it on Christmas, and
29:19
Speaker 3: you don't even know what it is or how it works.
29:22
Speaker 3: But you know you're the first one to have it.
29:24
Speaker 3: That's what it feels like, right? You're like, well, this
29:26
Speaker 3: could be really cool. Or I could run it into
29:28
Speaker 3: a wall and the whole thing could blow up. I
29:30
Speaker 3: have no idea, but it's going to be kind of fun.
29:34
Speaker 1: Don't run him into a wall, Flurry.
29:36
Speaker 3: No, let's not. Please, let's not. But I just, yeah,
29:38
Speaker 3: like that's how unknown it is. So I'm sure that
29:41
Speaker 3: I'm just being overly cautious or overly concerned about it,
29:45
Speaker 3: but I'd give it a five.
29:47
Speaker 1: I'm at an eight.
29:48
Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
29:49
Speaker 1: And it's relative. Like, I'm not worried it's going to
29:55
Speaker 1: derail the season, but I am worried it's going to
30:00
Speaker 1: caused the team potentially not to be able to perform
30:04
Speaker 1: as well as they should be able to perform as
30:06
Speaker 1: defending Superbowl champions. I mean, there's just something about, I
30:11
Speaker 1: was only a career backup in college. I mean, Terrell
30:15
Speaker 1: Davis was the same thing and look what he did
30:17
Speaker 1: in the national football league, but there's just something about hand,
30:22
Speaker 1: you know, Terrell Davis was a pleasant surprise, you know,
30:26
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos.
30:27
Speaker 3: It's true.
30:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true. That was their greatest mistake.
30:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
30:31
Speaker 3: Man, I hope we can make mistakes like that.
30:33
Speaker 2: Right.
30:34
Speaker 3: Yeah.
30:34
Speaker 1: So I'm already a little worried. The skinny legs thing
30:39
Speaker 1: doesn't make me feel very good. And then already having
30:41
Speaker 1: had an injury in training camp. I mean, he had
30:46
Speaker 1: an Achilles issue early at Notre Dame. But after that,
30:52
Speaker 1: injuries did not plague him during his collegiate career. But
30:56
Speaker 1: then again, he wasn't overexposed. And it sounds like he's
30:59
Speaker 1: going to be the number one running back for the
31:01
Speaker 1: first time in his life for a professional football team
31:07
Speaker 1: trying to repeat a Super Bowl champs. And I don't
31:09
Speaker 1: believe in Helani as a second option. And I'm not
31:13
Speaker 1: sure I believe in Emmanuel Wilson. So I am worried
31:16
Speaker 1: about this group.
31:17
Speaker 3: I might go up to a six.
31:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. And even with Zach Charbonnet, I still don't know
31:21
Speaker 1: if it gives you a good group. As long as
31:25
Speaker 1: it gives you a functional group, I think you're going
31:27
Speaker 1: to have a great defense. I believe in Sam. But
31:32
Speaker 1: I am worried about this running game. Especially since they're
31:36
Speaker 1: so committed to it. Like a year ago, it wasn't
31:38
Speaker 1: a great running game a year ago. It wasn't until
31:41
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And yet they just hammered away. And it
31:45
Speaker 1: ended up working out. But... I think that was a
31:50
Speaker 1: better room than what we have right now.
31:52
Speaker 3: I do think a lot of people underestimate the value
31:54
Speaker 3: of Ken Walker and what he actually brought. And then
31:57
Speaker 3: to lose him and to not have Charbonnet. I think
32:00
Speaker 3: once Charbonnet comes back, we're going to be just fine.
32:02
Speaker 3: But it is nerve-wracking until we get there.
32:04
Speaker 1: All right, last one. Jason Myers is a really good kicker.
32:09
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:09
Speaker 1: And has been. I mean, in the conversation for best
32:12
Speaker 1: kicker in the history of the Seahawks.
32:14
Speaker 2: Yep.
32:16
Speaker 1: But he missed nearly every kick In the preseason. And
32:20
Speaker 1: I get it. Somebody that accomplished probably just a matter
32:24
Speaker 1: of an adjustment, but he could have worked on those
32:26
Speaker 1: adjustments in practice. I'm sure he didn't leave the practice
32:31
Speaker 1: field any day. Oh, I pushed six right in a row.
32:36
Speaker 1: I'm sure he stayed at practice until he felt good
32:40
Speaker 1: about where he was kicking the football, which suggests to
32:43
Speaker 1: me that whatever has happened in the preseason was mental.
32:47
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
32:48
Speaker 1: It's really surprising that that would happen in a preseason game,
32:53
Speaker 1: considering how accomplished he is. No, I agree. So, how
32:58
Speaker 1: worried are you about what you saw from Jason Myers
33:01
Speaker 1: in the preseason? Because it's not zero.
33:03
Speaker 3: It's not zero, that's for sure. And interestingly enough, Palmer
33:06
Speaker 3: the Great asked me last night if I was going
33:07
Speaker 3: to draft Jason Myers as our kicker.
33:09
Speaker 2: I didn't.
33:10
Speaker 3: And I said, I am not. I didn't. And I said,
33:12
Speaker 3: he has not been good in preseason, and I'm a
33:13
Speaker 3: little nervous about it. But I would... quantify the little
33:18
Speaker 3: I am little I'm a little nervous about it I'm
33:21
Speaker 3: gonna give it a two I do think he'll be
33:22
Speaker 3: fine I don't I mean history has shown us he
33:26
Speaker 3: is a good solid kicker that he's not this guy
33:29
Speaker 3: that misses all of these and I don't think that
33:30
Speaker 3: he's gonna continue to be that.
33:32
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a four something's crept in now
33:36
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he can't push it out but that's
33:39
Speaker 1: three straight games something's crept in and if you like
33:42
Speaker 1: I said if that's happening in a preseason game which
33:44
Speaker 1: doesn't even count then are you going to be able
33:49
Speaker 1: to get that out of your head in time for tomorrow?
33:52
Speaker 3: It's a valid question.
33:53
Speaker 1: I mean, I think by the end of the season,
33:56
Speaker 1: he will have figured it out. But the last time
34:00
Speaker 1: I saw him kick, he had not figured it out.
34:03
Speaker 3: Well, I was going to say, depending on how long
34:04
Speaker 3: it takes him to figure it out, he might not
34:06
Speaker 3: be the kicker through the end of the season if
34:07
Speaker 3: he doesn't figure it out.
34:08
Speaker 1: That would be shocking if that were the case. So
34:11
Speaker 1: I'm going to put it at a four. So it
34:13
Speaker 1: sounds like I'm a little more worried about things than Ashley.
34:15
Speaker 1: You are. Look at me, the worry wart.
34:17
Speaker 3: I'm just over here relaxed and chill. We got this.
34:21
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, I think I'm sure all is fine, you know.
34:25
Speaker 1: I already picked them. My number one pick on the
34:28
Speaker 1: over-under thing that we did. I'm just saying it's not zero.
34:32
Speaker 3: It's not zero.
34:33

Speaker 3: Just the captain.

37:49
Speaker 1: on a letter.
37:50
Speaker 3: That's right he's got it down he's got it down.
37:54
Speaker 1: You know, just a quick thing. It's not going to
37:56
Speaker 1: be my one last thing, but yesterday's one last thing
37:58
Speaker 1: was the thing on Doug Eddings, the umpire who corrected
38:02
Speaker 1: a pitcher on how he was wearing his hat and
38:06
Speaker 1: made him change it. And then it started a little
38:08
Speaker 1: bit of a controversy. And then he ended up blowing
38:12
Speaker 1: a call and it looked like on purpose. And then
38:15
Speaker 1: very demonstrative in the way he acted. I mean, it's
38:17
Speaker 1: just unacceptable behavior. A little update on that. Major League
38:22
Speaker 1: Baseball apparently did talk to him and told him and
38:28
Speaker 1: criticized him, I guess. But there's no report as to
38:32
Speaker 1: whether or not he was punished. He should be punished.
38:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
38:36
Speaker 1: And this is not the first time it's happened. This
38:39
Speaker 1: is somebody that shows up with an agenda. He's obviously
38:42
Speaker 1: at this stage in his career. And I can understand
38:44
Speaker 1: why you get there. You get yelled at for your career.
38:47
Speaker 1: That's what you get yelled at by fans, by coaches,
38:49
Speaker 1: by players, and you've probably had enough of it.
38:51
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of people that are just out
38:53
Speaker 3: there applauding the umps.
38:54
Speaker 2: Right.
38:55
Speaker 1: It can't be easy. But he has reached the point
38:57
Speaker 1: in his career where he doesn't have any patience for it,
39:01
Speaker 1: and now he's acting out like a child, and he
39:05
Speaker 1: needs to be punished and threatened with his job because
39:09
Speaker 1: that is, you know what, whatever.
39:12
Speaker 2: Whatever.
39:13
Speaker 1: Told somebody to change his hat. That's dumb. But blowing
39:17
Speaker 1: calls on purpose because you're angry at the manager for
39:20
Speaker 1: yelling at you?
39:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would get most people fired.
39:22
Speaker 1: That should get you fired. Now, I know we have
39:25
Speaker 1: a replay, and that can correct that, and thankfully it did.
39:29
Speaker 1: But if you're out... of challenges and the home plate
39:31
Speaker 1: umpire decides just to blow a call on purpose yeah
39:35
Speaker 1: i mean come on not good that can't allow and
39:38
Speaker 1: maybe you can't prove it but come on you saw
39:41
Speaker 1: it yeah you know what happened uh the last thing
39:43
Speaker 1: and rick newheiser wouldn't let me finish this um Did
39:47
Speaker 1: you know that Matthew McConaughey names that burnt orange leather
39:52
Speaker 1: jacket of his?
39:53
Speaker 3: What is its name?
39:54
Speaker 1: Rusty. Okay.
39:54
Speaker 3: Well, that sounds about right.
39:57
Speaker 1: He's apparently had it for 30 years.
39:59
Speaker 3: Oh.
39:59
Speaker 1: So, obviously, really good quality.
40:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
40:02
Speaker 1: And he only wears it to Longhorns games and the
40:07
Speaker 1: big ones.
40:08
Speaker 2: Yep.
40:09
Speaker 1: But he has a name for it. Scott Van Pelt
40:11
Speaker 1: called it Butterscotch. And he goes, Rusty would be really
40:14
Speaker 1: angry if he found out you called him Butterscotch.
40:17
Speaker 3: That's funny. I like that. I like that.
40:20
Speaker 1: And it's supposed to be 100 degrees there on Saturday,
40:23
Speaker 1: so he's not committing to whether or not he's going
40:26
Speaker 1: to wear it or not. But yes, that jacket of
40:29
Speaker 1: his has a name.
40:30
Speaker 3: It's Rusty. It's Rusty, damn it.
