• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I'm all jacked up. And then secondarily, I had one
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: more thing to think about this morning, as I had
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to throw the grounds away and the new coffee maker,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and that caused me to forget my past. So Bucky
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: had to save me downstairs. It just happens there. It's
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: like clockwork.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can have what is it, three things? Four
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: things you can remember?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, four things I can remember.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: If there's five, yeah, something's got to get pushed out
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: of here.
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: Just put your pass like in your bag when you
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: get home.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Uh why would I?
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Okay, it's a perfectly good system.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I have it right there at the front. It's right there,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: right there. Everything in the drawer is right there, in
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the exact same place. Okay, yeah, otherwise I'll forget the bag.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well that would be.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Two for one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, yeah exactly. I mean I half I started
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: halfway to work, and I'm like, I forgot my car.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Oh then I just started walking. Yeah, and I had
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to go all the way back.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: So if you if I had ignore my idea, then
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: that was dumb.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I had one more thing. It just throws me off.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Every single week.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: I was trying to take a thing away from you.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: No, no, I just forget something else. It's a it's
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a mostly perfect system.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, time the time.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: That's right there, you go, all right, well, well come
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: to the show.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: It is a Tuesday. We've got our normal Tuesday lineup
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: coming up, which we'll outline for you here in a
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: little bit with what's on tap, and of course in
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: every single crack that there is, we will talk about
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the big topic of the week, and that is the
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Seahawks and the Rams Thursday Night Football this year. As
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I mentioned frequently, we typically on Hump Day start previewing
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the next opponent, but on a short week, Thursday Night
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Football week, we always start on Tuesday. Well, guess what
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: we're already underway. We got started yesterday with this game,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: this game of the year, Seahawks hosting the Rams Thursday
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Night Football got the entire national platform to ourselves only
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: game going and it is the biggest game certainly of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the year so far. Doesn't mean it will end up
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: being the biggest game of the year because there are
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a couple of others on the schedule before the regular
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: season comes to a close. But undoubted this is the biggie,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and so we dive in full full, with full hearts
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and full breaths, We're gonna dive into this sucker here today.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: There's not a lot that else we probably can talk about.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, simply, there's so much hanging in the balance.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, the end of the game Thursday night, you're
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: either going to be first place in the division and
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: first place overall in the NFC, or you're not. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: I mean it's crazy to be sitting at eleven and
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: three and still have a chance, I mean, in a
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: very outside slim chance of not making the playoffs. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I mean the fact that you haven't clinched at this
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: point in time and you got three games left to go.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: One is a big one at home this Thursday against
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: your the team that you're chasing down because they beat
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: you in your first head to head. Yeah, a lot
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: riding on this one, I mean, without a doubt, a
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: lot riding on this one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and just fantastic matchup two healthy teams. You pointed
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: this out yesterday, but the Rams right now are considered
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the favorites to win the Super Bowl by Vegas and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: number two on that list the Seattle Seahawks. I think
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks certainly more surprising from that perspective when you
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: think back to the beginning of the year, and nobody
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: thought that this. Nobody nationally thought the Seahawks team was
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: going to be a playoff team.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: We're gonna get like six wins.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, at least very few. I wouldn't say nobody,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: because that's not true, but very few people. Vegas certainly
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: had them less than what a lot of us thought
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: they were capable of. And here they are putting themselves
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: in a position to possibly end up with a number
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: one seed. But as beautiful as this game and sports
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: can be at times, they also could be left on
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the outside looking in. There's still a chance this team
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't even make the playoffs at all. They've not clinched.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: They can on Thursday, they can at least clinch a
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: playoff spot. But to sit here with three games left
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: in the season and at eleven and three and you're
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: still not guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. That's unnerving.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the part that's kind of crazy, I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: And yet I mean there's a top heavy version of
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: it where I mean, I don't think anybody here would
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: would rather be, you know, ten and four or nine
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: and five and have a spot clinched up already, like
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: being a weak division necessarily, but because this gives you
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: the opportunity to get that coveted first round by if
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: you can figure out a way to be the number
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: one team.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: So you're you like where you're sitting.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: It's just that your division is tough with the you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: the Niners and Rams being in there, both playing well
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: pretty much for the entire season, so you're still fighting
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: for something on the small scale. But really it kind
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: of feels like the overall winner of this division is
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: going to be the number one seed going into the playoffs.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: And that's a big that's a big deal in today's
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: day and game, where there's so much riding on how
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: healthy are you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You don't want you want to get hot at the.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Right time, that whole thing, but but you also need
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: to stay healthy and having a week off when it's
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: not two teams anymore, it's just the one team in
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: each conference gets that buy. That's a big deal to
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: get rested up and prepare for whoever it is you
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: got coming in and then home field advantage to do
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: the whole thing. It's a big deal. So, I mean,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: this is one where I would I think that everybody
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: over there in Renton stays up late and does a
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: lot of their homework. But I bet you either doing
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: a little bit extra this week.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Let's get it on the Rams, certainly on fire themselves.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: But they might be without Davonte Adams for this game.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Sean McVeigh said as recently as yesterday, it's really it's
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: kind of hard to believe that he will be ready
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: after injuring his hamstring at the end of the game.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yet on Sunday that DeVante Adams could be ready for this,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: So that will be something in the Seahawks corner that
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: gives them a little bit of an advantage. Adams and
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Nakua make quite the team, but let's face it. I mean,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: this is something that came up yesterday in our conversation
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: with coach and Hugh. This team's settling for an awful
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: lot of field goals, and even though Jason Myers has
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: turned into the most reliable kicker in the National Football League,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and that's a great thing to have in your corner
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: as well. Truth of the matter is, and maybe not
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: to the degree Greg Olsen talks about it, but you
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: can't make a living in this league, you can't win
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Super Bowls in this league constantly settling for field goals.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: So that's an issue lately has been confronting this team,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: and maybe even bigger than that. I mean, you got
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: away with it against the Vikings, you got away with
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: it against the Falcons. They really I don't think have
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: played well since this is strange to say, lost to
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the Rams. Played a bit of a sloppy game against
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the Titans, certainly did not play four quarters against Minnesota,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Certainly did not play four quarters against Atlanta. And then
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the Colts felt to me like something was missing there
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: as well, which maybe we'll talk about a little bit
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: later on in this hour. But you better play four
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: quarters against the Rams. This is not a playground in
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: which you can just decide to join the game whenever
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: you feel like it. Better be firing on all cylinders
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: from the get go. Because I don't think you're digging
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: out of some big hole or you might create for
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: yourself a big hole against the Los Angeles Rams.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think the I you know, like
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: the Minnesota game, for example, you knew you were going
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: against a rookie that you know, where do you played
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: New Hampshire or something?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I mean Minnesota?
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Minnesota Hampshire before that?
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: What an insult to the golden culture?
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: I think he was with New Hampshire before he went
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: to Minnesota. Regardless, you kind of felt like, similar to
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: last week, which I don't know for sure. Last week,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: they maybe overthought that where Okay, they're coming in here
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: with a forty four year old. In that case, they're
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: coming in with this rookie has no experience, they're gonna
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: have hard time getting any points on us, and so
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: it we're going to be really conservative, right, and then
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: as all of a sudden the scores start to mount,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: you're giving up nothing against Minnesota, right, you end up
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: shutting them out that it's kind of okay, it's okay
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: to be less than offensively throughout the course of that game.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That the Tennessee game was.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: One, if I remember correctly, where they kind of got
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: out to lead, and then all of a sudden they
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: were within an on side kick of making it kind
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: of scary. And so I think that there's situations where
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: the score doesn't always dictate it, but there's no ifens or.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: But you can't the last three games, I'm just looking
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: at a stat here. The only teams that are worse
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: in the first half as far as scoring points is
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: the New Orleans Saints, Las Vegas Raiders, Arizona Cardinals, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the New York Jets. What in the last three games
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: on the first half? Okay, got it. So they're slow starts. Yeah,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: they're down there with Cleveland. They're tied with Cleveland. So
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: that's I don't know if that's good if you want
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: to be tied with them for anything. So you're just
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: talking about that, you're not playing two halves. You're playing
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: mediocre first half and then you're figuring out a way
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: and if you score thirty one points in the second half, hey,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: that's going to work out often. But there's other times
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: where you're not going to do that. You can't expect
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: that you're going to go out and score six points
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: or three points in the first half. Against the Rams
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: on Thursday, and then you're just gonna explode for thirty one.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: And yet on the flip side of it, you know
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: you're probably not gonna give up enough to You're not
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: probably not going to give up enough to anybody to
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: where you're gonna need to do that. But you better
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: damn well think you better. You better recognize you got
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: to go out there and play two four full quarters
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: of football otherwise you're gonna find yourself behind. And now
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden they're in control of do we
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: just run and take the air out of the ball
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: or do we then kind of pop one on you
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: when all of a sudden you think that you're all
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: sold out and stopping the run because you think we're
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: just trying to run out the clock. It's not a
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: good situation to be in. And they've they've overcome it
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: and they're winning. They're winning all these games, so that's
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: what matters. But yeah, in order to do it against
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: the good teams, you're gonna have to play the whole game.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: I do wonder if especially, I know these guys are
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: professionals and so the chances of this are probably very slim.
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: But after the last time they played the Rams, they said,
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: you know, we can't wait for that next matchup.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: This game is circled on our calendar.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: And I wonder if, knowing it was a short week
• 11:55
  Speaker 7: going into the Colts game, if there was any thought
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: of we're playing Philip River's a guy that hasn't played
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: in five years, and you know, this game is kind
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: of our warm up for Thursday. I just wonder if
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: there was any part of them that was somewhat overlooking
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: the Colts prepared to because they're so eager for this
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: game on Thursday.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Not outwardly, it's not spoken. Yeah, I mean, nobody's saying
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: that in the building, like, hey, it's a forty four
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: year old quarterback. We got this one, as long as
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: we don't do blah blah blah blah blah. But that's
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the psychology of sports, and as much as we talk
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: about it, because it is so subjective, it is such
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: an unknown thing. It's not a tangible aspect that we
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: can point to a statistic. It's the wild card. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: some people believe and you know, maybe we go beat
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: too much in sports talk radio, particularly talking about the
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: psychology of things and what this game means and what
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: that game means versus just the x'es and o's and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the Jimmys and the jos. I would argue, we don't
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: talk about it enough. We don't dress the psychology of
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: sports nearly enough because it's monstrous. And I will tell
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: you I think in the second half they did feel
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: like the game with Tennessee was over and the next
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: thing you know, you have a game. And then against
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Minnesota and Atlanta, I would imagine they felt like, we've
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: got this one and took them about a half for
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald to get on their ass and kind of
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: figure things out. And they're they're not doing it intentionally, no,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and I don't think they are, yeah, but but subconsciously, yes,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: that does play. I think they played against Philip Rivers.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I pointed this out a couple of times. I think
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: that they played against Philip Rivers like you know, you
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: might have when you were in high school and you
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: were a high school athlete and you're playing your uncle
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Joe in the backyard in a game of one on
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: one basketball and the next thing you know, he's up,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you know, he's up on you, s to h right
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, I better buggle down if I
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: don't want to face the family embarrassment of losing to
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: my uncle Joe and his two pay here in the
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: backyard of this little hoops game that we got, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: then you buckled down. I kind of think there was
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: an element to that. The good news is is that
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: if you did face that for four weeks, you went
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: four and oh yeah. And then the extra good news
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: about that is there's no way that that interferes with Thursday. Right,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: there is no way that you're not firing on all
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: cylinders all week long, one hundred percent immersed, locked in.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald coaching staff does not have to worry about
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: that this week. This is as big a regular season
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: game as has been played in this city in a decade.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm curious. I mean, I think there's two sides
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: of the coin.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: We talked about how big games are and the adjustments
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: that you make, right, I mean, starting out slow is
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: not great. I mean, I know coach Holmgren was did it,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: and he might have been towards the flo front of
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: when people did it the whole scripted plays. I don't
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: know when that came about. I mean, I know that
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: it's been going on for quite some time, but you
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: just kind of figured it. He invented it. Probably could
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: just give him the credit for it, even if he didn't.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I think he probably would have invented it if it
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: hadn't been invented before. But I think he's it's somewhere
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: around the time when he was coaching, where throughout the
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: course of the week, you start figuring out, now, the
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: way we're running these plays in practice, what we're going against.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: This is going to work. This this flat out will work.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: Now you've got to stay on script, so you can
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: kind of stick with those with that plan. But that's
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: something that you don't necessarily see now. On the flip
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: side of it, Clink Kubiak and Mike Ben done, all
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: the rest of his coaching staff, whatever they do in
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: the halftime, besides orange slices and you know, you know,
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: so getting rehydrated. They've figured out a way to come
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: out there and play. And the second half is typically
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: more important than the first half. I mean, you typically
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: have you know what you have to do at that
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: point in time. So I mean, I think there's two
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: different ways to look at it. To me, though, it's
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: you do have to figure out a way to start
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: putting up more points early in the game so that
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: you're not you don't find yourself in this oh my gosh.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, you don't want to have the Rams pinning
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: their ears back in the third quarter or fourth quarter
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: because you're down by ten or twelve points. You don't
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: want that because that could turn into what we've seen,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: you know, where if Sam Darnold's rushed, then maybe he's
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: turning the ball over. So there's a lot that goes
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: into a division rival, especially the second time you're playing them,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: with all the marbles on the table, so to speak.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to be an interesting game.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: But I think that there's a whole heck of a
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: lot of you know, reflection that probably needs to be
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: done on the offensive side of the ball when it comes.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: To so you can argue they're playing their best football
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the last time they faced the Rams, and even though
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I think they outplayed the Rams, they lost the game.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: They're not playing their best football right now. But they
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: better be playing it by Thursday, because that's what it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: going to require, and not just Thursday. For these last
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: three games. I mean, I'm very confident you're going to
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: get one win out of the three and get into
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. I'm very confident with that. But in order
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: to get that number one seed, and Bucky highlighted the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: magnitude of that earlier in this conversation, you probably got
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to win all three of them. So let's go. Let's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: get it started this Thursday. Let's find out what's on
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: tap on this Tuesday program.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: What's on TEP, what's on TEP?
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: All right, Greg Bell will join us at seven o
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: five today to discuss Rams and Seahawks our Seahawks Insider,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: and also should note that Philip Rivers is going to
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: start again this week for the Colts, this time against
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: the San Francisco forty nine Ers Monday Night Football. Last night,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: and the game really wasn't even that close. Miami continuously
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: downplays this weather thing. You don't play well in cold weather,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: just no period, and it is really surprising that professional
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: athletes aren't better at preparing for cold weather. Don't shrivel
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: don't shrivel up like the Miami dolph always do.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't always do, I really don't. I mean, baseball,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: you play with a lot of dudes from that grew
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: up in islands, Dominican and whatnot, and for some reason,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: well not for some reason, it's obvious they don't. They're
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: not used to it.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: At some point in time, though, you've got to be
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: able to get over that. You got to be able
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: to just work through that and that. You're right, the
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Miami Dolphins seemed incapable of doing it when it gets.
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: Coldkay, at some point you might be good and actually
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: need to win those games in the cold.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think that would be the goal. I mean,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: they were even in the playoffs, they were even a
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: playoff caliber team. Oh no, it's before forty. Well, we're cooked.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to believe that they aren't better
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: on when the weather is colder as professional athletes. College
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Football Playoffs starts this Friday. Alabama and Oklahoma will get
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: it started Friday. Then there will be three games on Saturday.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: So the second ever true college football playoffs starting this Friday.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Transfer portal is filling up fast and with a lot
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: of big name quarterbacks. Won't dive into that. We won't
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: have that frenzy until the first week of January, but
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: it is coming. You dub won a national championship last night.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: The soccer team for the Huskies won by a final
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: score of three to two in overtime over North Carolina State.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Congratulations to them a national championship and they did it
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: with a golden goal, which is a goal in overtime.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: And yet because we have replay now in our sports world,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the celebration was on then subdued because they had to
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: review it. And some of the analysis I heard was
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: they were technically off sides. But man, that's a tough
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: call to make to take a national championship out of
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: somebody's mouth because one guy's shoe halfway was off sides
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and you might have taken away a national championship winning goal.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: But they decided to let the old stand and then
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the stage two of the celebration started.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, they would have had to get all
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: dressed again. I saw the dude that won his shirt off,
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: just he had an undershure.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You're gonna lose if they take that away. There's no
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: way you're liking it back up.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah you feel like it, Yeah you can't.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Good for them, though, I mean in NASH Championship, first
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: time ever for the Huskies to win Anas Championship in
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: men's soccer, I think, so kudos to them. There's not
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: a whole heck of a lot of feelings.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: You go through a lot.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know in soccer how much you
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: do in college, but I'm sure there's a lot of
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: running which doesn't sound very fun to me. And then
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: yet at the end of it, it doesn't matter how bad
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: the prep was. It's worth it when you're voicing the
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: trophy feeling never cracking.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: We'll play the Avalanche tonight. Evert fitzuwill join us at
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: eight thirty today. It is a cracking ticket Tuesday. Here
• 20:45

  Speaker 3: nine point thirty. We got a packed show for you.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: And coming up on the other side, what's going on
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: with that Michigan job. Sports Radio ninety three point three KHARFM. Hey,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: good morning, It's Chuck Buck and Ashley with you here
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: on this Tuesday. Plenty to discuss on today's program as
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: we get ready for Seahawks rams on Thursday. But there
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: are some other things as well, which we'll get to
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: in a moment. That Michigan job is still available. Who
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: wants to be a Michigan Man. We're going to discuss
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: how it affects us here in Seattle here in a
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: little bit. Do you want to let you know though,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that bender that always doing good things? Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: It probably like holds doors for people, I'm sure. Yeah,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: in real life. Yeah, probably is kind to the elderly, guaranteed.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Weird yeah, weird stuff that guy does. Anyway, he's got
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: his one big give. He's been doing this for twenty
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: three years. He's only twenty five years old, but he's
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: been doing this for twenty three years on the radio.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: He may he raises like trillions of dollars for Seattle
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Children's Hospital. He's just does an amazing program every year.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: And he's got Jody now of course over there at
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the Jet doing the same thing. So all day broadcasts
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: six am to seven pm. It's Bender's one big give
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: King Neptune himself. It benefits the Uncompensated Care Fund, helping
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Seattle Children provide all the necessary care to kids in
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: our region, regardless of the family's ability to pay. If
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: you want to get involved eight three three eight five
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: five zero nine five seven to make a donation, or
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: you can go to give to the Kids dot com.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: So there you go, a lot of great things going on.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Nice job Bender, Jody and everyone with the Jet and
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: iHeart that is involved with this. Every year, they did
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: an amazing job raising a lot of money for Seattle
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Children's Hospital. All right, let's talk about the Michigan Wolverinees
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: head coaching position, because until it's filled, I guess we
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: can never truly relax around here. Jedfish's name has come
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: up quite a bit, and yet so is Kenny Dillingham's,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: and so is Kaylen de Bores. Kaylin de Bor getting
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: ready for Oklahoma this Friday. It became a major talking point,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: and really the one big takeaway from his press conference
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: yesterday was his response to the Michigan job. He wouldn't
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: have spent more clear that he is not interested. He
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: has not reached out to gauge interest, he has not
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: spoken to anyone. And as soon as he said that,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: the question that followed up from the reporter, Hoarde was
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: all right, just to be clear, you're going to be
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Alabama's head coach next season? And he laughed it off,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: and he says, yes, I am going to be Alabama's
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: head coach next season. And that's all fine and dandy
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: except the fact that he pretty much did that here
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: not long ago. So it's really hard to believe any
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: of these coaches until a Michigan, until Michigan announces who
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: they are going to steal, because they're stealing somebody stealing
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: somebody's coach from them, So until they actually make it official,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: I think anybody with a coaching candidate that has been
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: rumored wherever there is smoke, you have to be on
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: guard as to whether or not you're going to lose
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: your head coach.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean the idea of it's not going to
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: be some guy that's coming from high school. Right, It's
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: not going to be some guy that's you know, coaching
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: at like a lower level. And we're you know, Michigan's
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: going to give him his next shot at you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: his first shot at coaching the big time college program.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: It's going to be somebody you're gonna sniper, somebody that's
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: doing big things at you know, at the power forward
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: level for the most part. And so yeah, I mean
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: I don't take any of the things these coaches say.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't write it in pen I most certainly wouldn't
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: trust anybody.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's unfortunate, I suppose for all of these
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: coaches who are trying to recruit or trying to get
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: ready for a game. But you did a lot of
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: you you sort of earned this, and then they just
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the industry and it's in and of itself, it is
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: a byproduct of that, and you coaches aren't doing much
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: to keep it from occurring.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean in calen To War,
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: for example, I mean, he did leave. He left here
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: after basically, you know, saying all the things that you
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: want your coach to say, like I'm happy here, this
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: is you know, I got roots here, my daughter's here,
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: dream job, dream job. Now, I mean, without throwing shade,
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: because I'm not intentionally throwing shade. The idea of leaving
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: here to go to Alabama, which is one of the
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: most prestigious brands in college football, is different than leaving
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Alabama to go to Michigan. Maybe as big, if not bigger.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, the storied history of Michigan. I get that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: That to me, The only thing that would make him
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: want to switch there is just I'm more of a
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: big ten guy, you know, I just kind of it
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: kind of fits my m Michigan's more my style than
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Alabama is. But I don't feel like there's a big
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: you know. It feels more like it would be a
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: lateral move if anything. As far as your competition, like your.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Well, the reputation of Alabama is that the community makes
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: your life miserable unless you're winning national championships. And if
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: and Kaylen de boor knew that, his eyes went wide open.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: He his eyes were wide open to that reputation. There's
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: nobody that follows college football that doesn't know that. And
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: so if he got there and then was oh wow,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: this is what they meant, Oh, this sucks. My wife
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: hates it. You know, we can't go to the grocery
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: store without being told we suck. You know, if that
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: has gotten to him, then maybe a move to the
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Midwest where they kind of do, where he's closer to home,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: Where he's closer to home. They actually don't make it
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: everything at mission. It's big, but it's not everything. It's
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: not every single waking moment from every single fan. Maybe
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: he would look at that as an escape without diminishing
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: the stature of the position that I hold or my salary.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe he would, But he made that very clear in
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: his press conference yesterday that his family's very happy in Alabama,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: which was important. He went out of his way to
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: say that. As for Jedfish, you know, he sort of
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: earned this reputation as well. I don't hear his name
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: mentioned as prominently as it was initially. It kind of
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: feels like it's moving toward canny get Kenny Dillingham at
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Arizona State. But that said, he hasn't gone out of
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: his way like the boor has to shoot it down either.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So until Michigan hires a job, there's no way that
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: a Washington Husky fan can feel one hundred percent safe
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: that Jedfish isn't leaving. I mean, I think that he
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: does entertain ideas of Fischigan, you know, being being that
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: guy at that program, that position. I think that is
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: something that interests him, whether or not Michigan's as interested
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in him as they would be a Kenny Dillingham. You know,
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: that's what we don't.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Know the idea of.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you have these headhunter firms that
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: are going out there and kind of helping run these
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: things for the athletic director for the school, and obviously
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: they're reaching out. I mean Kaylen de Boor and Jedfish
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: and Kenny Dillingham were kind of that early early board,
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: the hot board, if you will, that was where they
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: were going after. To me, Jedfish has kind of shot
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: it down, but not as blatantly as Katherin do wars
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: like no I'm here, I'm not going anywhere right. Fish
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: didn't necessarily come out and just basically kind of put
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: try to squash the whole thing. To me, it does
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: seem like it's heading in the Kenny Dillingham direction, just
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: simply because him being an Arizona and now he's coaching
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: basically his dream job, right. I think his sister lives
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: next door and his parents live right down the street.
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: He's basically right where he would have ever hoped you
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: would be. And yet now if you've done a good
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: enough job at Arizona State that a program like Michigan
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: has come and calling. That's where I think the tears
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: were coming from. When he was doing his little press conference.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he cried at the end of last week over it,
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people read into that as he's leaving,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: like he wouldn't be this emotional if he wasn't about
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: to go back on his word yeah to Arizona State,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of how I read into it as well.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I think maybe the lesson to be learned here stop
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: acting like you've got your dream job.
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: Well yeah, and and just say, you know, I don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: know right now, I'm here and this is where I
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: want to be, and just say if you just say
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: right now no and con fault you for what you
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: do next week, I don't. I'm still curious because if Michigan,
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: it doesn't seem like they're in a big hurry right
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: now to hire right because they haven't done it yet,
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: and they've got till the second right when the transfer
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: portal opens. I would be curious if Alabama loses to
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: Oklahoma if Kaylen Debor has offered that job.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I's a great point because if it was Jed Fish,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: don't you think they would have announced it?
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because they would waited till after the bowl game
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: it'd be done.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: It's Kenny Dillingham.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: What are you waiting?
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: You're gonna wait for him to make sure he to
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: try to negotiate a new deal with Arizona State? Or
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: are you gonna put heat? I didn't an answer right now.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the art of negotiation, is it not.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: So maybe they are waiting for something. Maybe it's on
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: NFL coach who knows. Maybe they are waiting for something
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: to this. Bucky's made this point in the past. If
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: it's the right guy, aren't you willing to wait?
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Same with LSU. Why couldn't you have waited? You didn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: want to wait. You could have waited. You didn't want
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: to wait because you didn't want Ole Miss to have
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: nice things. So you've tried to hurt ole Miss while
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: still getting your guy. That's what you tried to do
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: at LSU. So, yeah, I think that's a I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that's a terrific point. Why are they waiting if it's Jedfish?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Why are they waiting if it's Kenny Dillingham? Maybe it
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: is somebody who else has another thing to do before
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: they take the job. We shall see all right, coming
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: down next Seahawks rams on Thursday. And one thing this
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: week that I don't want to see the Seahawks do
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: Rodgers will be in the gun. Rogers may be seeing
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: a blitz here they come, they rush five, there's the snap?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Why drive goving it?
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: Old Matt Pedaly gets made at the fifteen to tech
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: clip a.
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: Ten to five touchdown. Heard you let Calf throwing bodies.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Aside like the rag dolls.
• 32:06
  Speaker 10: To break tackles and got a twenty of yard touchdown
• 32:10
  Speaker 10: reception from Aaron.
• 32:11
  Speaker 9: Rodgers on third and twelve. Have they caught up twenty
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: to three over Miami?
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: He really is one of one, both Kevin Harlan and
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: DK Metcalf. There's no one liked Kevin Harlan on a
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: call Westwood one. Nobody quite liked DK Metcalf. I mean,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I think we made the right decision getting rid of him,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: and I think JSN certainly has flourished being the undisputed
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: number one receiver in this lineup by that guy, There's
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: just some traits that nobody else in the league can match.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, he just caught that ball into the ring,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: just stiff armed, like six different dolphins just out of
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: his way. Now they acted like they were frozen to
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: the core. Yeah, I think that was.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Part of it.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: But yeah, he's a monster.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's different. You can just see it when he
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: just steps out there. He's different. And yet it's still
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: even this year with Hall of Famer and Aaron Rodgers,
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: an old Hall of Famer in Aaron Rodgers, he still
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: hasn't kind of grown to be that thing that, yeah,
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: everybody thought he was going to be at least why
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: he was here.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh won over Miami Monday Night football to wrap up
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: the week. Twenty eight to fifteen is the final score,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: so the Steelers keep their game lead over the Baltimore

• 34:55
  Speaker 4: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelve Man

• 35:14
  Speaker 4: with Chuck and Bud.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Greg, Good morning? Huh Greg Bell or sucks
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Insider joining us here today. What's the buzz over there?
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: I mean you might not even know this yet, but
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: obviously weather could play a factor. It's been playing a
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: factor in all of our lives here for the last week.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: But I just looked up the forecast eighty three percent
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: chance of rain Thursday night wins expected to possibly be
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: around twenty miles per hour. It could be a factor
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: in this game. Does Mike McDonald feel they're better prepared
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: for Knights like this than anybody that comes into Seattle?
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Well, yes and no.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: The NFL game when it rains, the officials allow you
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: to swap out the ball every single dame and often
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: they aren't throwing a wet ball even in a downpour
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: because of that. But it is a factor when you
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: got wind, and kickers and pass catchers and pass throwers
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: will tell you that's a bigger deal than rain or snow.
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: And if you get win, then there are a lot
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: of variables to change how far Jason Myers can kick
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: into the Downtown open end. The north end of the field,
• 36:24
  Speaker 8: for instance, that's the end where the wind comes in
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: from the sides the corners of the end zone, unlike
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: the south end, which is closed. And Myers, when we
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: talk to him, talks all the time about the winds
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: changing the Downtown end. If there's twenty mile hour winds
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: blowing through the stadium, no matter which direction you're going,
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: that is definitely going to change the limit that Mike
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: McDonald knows his kicker can go. Incidentally, he said Myers
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: did in McDonald's said that they were confident that Myers
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: would make the fifty six yard field goal to beat
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: the Colts into that open end because the wind was
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: not a big factor in that game, and Myers got
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: boosted by the confidence of making a fifty two yard
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: or into the other end zone. At the end of
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: the first half, they thought the Colts kicker was beyond
• 37:07
  Speaker 8: his line. They had tagged him for less and fewer
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: than sixty yards to make his kick. Did he ended
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: up making from sixty The kicking game in the passing
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: game will be affected if the wins are like you're
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: talking about.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's going to be interesting and it's gonna be wet,
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: but we shall see how if it is. Do you
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: think that they continue to really marry themselves to the
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: idea that we're going to run more than everybody else,
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: whether it works or not. I mean, maybe the weather
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: dictates some of the play calls as well.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: Yes, they need to against the Rams and forty nine
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: ers because their defensive fronts are so active, so athletic.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: Let's talking to Jalen Sindell to's the AUC Center yesterday
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: about the Rams front. He said, what makes them so
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: good is when they're young. But they are all really
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: good at both speed and power. And he said, for
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: a center that's tough, usually defensive offensive excuse me, defensive
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: linemen are one of the other, really strong or really fast,
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: not offering it. They both And he said everybody across
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: the front, including the linebackers. For the Rams are both
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: strong and fast, and you got to be fast off
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: the snap. And for him that's especially tough because he's
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: snapping the ball and you got to be strong enough
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: to push them out of the holes. They have the
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: Seahawks for years of that hard time running the ball
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: against the Rams. That could be the reason why they've
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: remade their defense on the fly, of course, and they
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: had a Hall of Famer retire. They traded Ernest Jones
• 38:31
  Speaker 8: their middle linebacker, and they still haven't been They've missed
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: a beat. Sadell thinks that's the challenge for the Seahawks.
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: The biggest one is their strength and their size. We've
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: seen it, Bucky, We've talked about it. Just because the
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: Seahawks aren't running for effectiveness doesn't mean they won't run.
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: They got just two point three yards per carry against
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: the Colts. They're going to keep running it, especially for
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: the elements. But even if they aren't that bad, no
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: matter what the weather, they're going to keep running it. Well,
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: I think you're gonna see night you didn't see Sunday
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: against the Colts. Robbie Oots at fullback. He was a curious,
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: healthy scratch for the first time in his career. Against Indianapolis,
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: they had Brady Russell in a few times. They used fullback,
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: and we saw Russell drop a pass in the flat
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: when he faked that he was walking and the Colts
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: didn't even guard him. If he had caught that pass,
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: he would probably run for at least forty yards. Oots
• 39:22
  Speaker 8: will be in the lineup. I think that was a
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: tactical air and especially against the Rams, I think Oots
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: will be in the lineup and you'll see more eye formation.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Well, considering the quality of the opponent, Greg and the
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: magnitude of the game. Do they stick with it as
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: long as they have been? I mean, yes, you've gone
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: four to zero over your last four games, but it
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: just feels like you were trying to establish the run
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: for too long and the passing game has been the
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: team's bread and butter this year. So will we see
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: any sort of philosophical changes And with the wins settling
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: for field goals, it feels like, man, we're settling for
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: a lot of field goals these days, and then also
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: sticking with the run sometimes well into the third quarter,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: even though it's not altogether working. Do you think we'll
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: see philosophical changes because of the magnitude of the opponent
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: and the game on Thursday.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: No.
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: If they go back and just start throwing forty times
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: in a monsoon and win, or even in a bright
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: sunny day, the Rams will kill them. The Rams defensive
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: front will overwhelm the Seahawks offensive line if the Seahawks
• 40:30
  Speaker 8: don't run that. I have about ten years of history
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: to back me up on that. No matter who the
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: offensive coordinator is, no matter who the offensive linemen are,
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: no matter who the Rams put out on defense. That's
• 40:40
  Speaker 8: been a consistent theme. They got to run, and they'd
• 40:43
  Speaker 8: run also because their defense is so damn good. They
• 40:47
  Speaker 8: want to control field position, they want to control time
• 40:49
  Speaker 8: of possession. They want to keep Stafford's hands off the
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: ball by keeping them on the sidelines. If you can
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: run enough to at least make the third downs manageable,
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: maybe your quarterback doesn't throw four interceptions in hand three touchdowns.
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: That to me is the key to the game on Thursday.
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: Run enough to let the Seahawks defense dictate the game.
• 41:08
  Speaker 8: We've talked about this many times. We'll probably talk about
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: the roundtable this week again. With two three games Mike
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: McDonald has played Sean McVay well, throwing out the JV
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: game at the end of last season because the Rams
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: didn't play anybody, including Stafford, because they had everything clinched.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: The two other games, the Rams had one offensive touchdown
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: in regulation before it went to overtime, and they wanted
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: including the hundred and three yard interception return for a
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: touchdown by Kitchens that changed the game when Gino Smith
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: threw the am zone. And then the last time they
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: played the Rams in Inglewood, the Seahawks quarterback gave the
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: Rams three touchdowns with four interceptions. The Seahawks didn't. I
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: think it was one of the three touchdowns that the
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: Rams had to drive more than half the field and
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: they won twenty one nineteen. So you could say pretty
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: plausibly that the Mike McDonald's defense has given up two
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: in two games. Eight quarters have given up two touchdowns
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: that the Rams have had to drive the field to
• 42:02
  Speaker 8: get two against the number one quarterback who's the best
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: passer rating and one of the best offensive minds of
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: his generation. I McDonald would never say this, but I
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: think McDonald's got McVeigh schematically, and I think he's got
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: a few things new McVeagh hasn't seen either coming up
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: on Thursday night. So can the Seahawks offense stay out
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: of its own way and let the defense win the game?
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: That's the key on Thursday.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Do you know, I mean, do the injury reports and
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: stuff come out earlier since the Thursday game?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Do you so?
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Do we know how cross, how injured people are? I
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: mean we didn't get to that yesterday.
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Cross is the concern. So the NFL requires that
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: they put out a Monday report for a Thursday game,
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: even though they don't practice. They were out on the
• 42:45
  Speaker 8: field just walking around the game plan for the Rams,
• 42:48
  Speaker 8: and the Seahawks estimated that Cross was a non participant
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: in that he was standing there doing the walkthrough, but
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: they would have estimated how they practiced what the Cross
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: would not have. He got injured on the final play
• 43:00
  Speaker 8: the field goal. He basically got smushed to the ground
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: and did the splits and injured his hamstring. As soon
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: as the Colts blocker jumped on top of basically jumped
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: over him and then landed on him. He did the splits,
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: grabbed the left handstring and was rolling around in pain.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: McDonald said they are working pretty hard they try to
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: make him available for Thursday night. He said it's possible
• 43:25
  Speaker 8: cross plays, but that is probably going to be a
• 43:28
  Speaker 8: game time announcement and he'll probably be questionable at best
• 43:32
  Speaker 8: going into the game, which means Josh Jones their swing
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: tackle that they signed for this role, it would likely
• 43:38
  Speaker 8: be the left tackle. He was the right tackle for
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: a few plays when Abe Lucas went out and into
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: the injury tent for a few minutes and the game
• 43:44
  Speaker 8: against the Colts. But McDonald and everybody's saying that Abe
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: Lucas is fine. He finished the game, but Josh Jones
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: would be on deck. And then Josh Jones is going
• 43:52
  Speaker 8: to get the reps in practice on Wednesday, the one
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: full practice they have this week.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Well, the name that will get the most attention via
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: injury report this week is DeVante Adams. Sean McVay says
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: that it's not looking good for him to play on Thursday.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Last time they played, he only caught one ball. Now,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: he's a tremendous red zone threat and at one ball
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: for one yard ended up being a touchdown. But how
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: much easier does that make life for the Seahawks defense
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: If you don't have to face Nakua and Adams on Thursday.
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: Well, certainly little hell. Then we've talked about this and
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: Jillian Low talked about it again yesterday. The Rams are
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: playing thirteen personnel quite a bit. What's that one running back?
• 44:33
  Speaker 8: Three tight ends? Kobe Parkinson's been a big part of day.
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: Cut another touchdown pass against the Lions. I wasn't sure
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: that he was in the end zone, but they called
• 44:40
  Speaker 8: it a touchdown. But McVeigh has reinvented himself, as Julian Love
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: aptly put it yesterday, and you'll hear from him today
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: when I'm filling in for Ian one to three. I'm
• 44:49
  Speaker 8: going to talk to Julian Love. They recorded the interview yesterday.
• 44:53
  Speaker 8: He said the Rams, as the rest of the NFL
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: is going small and fast on offense, McVeigh has pivoted
• 44:59
  Speaker 8: to big and strong and put three tight ends on
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: the field at one time. And Loves said, the way
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: the NFL is, the offenses will catch up them paye
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: next year and then start doing three tight ends all
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: the time. But the thing about the three tight ends
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: is it gives the Rams the ability to run the
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: ball with extra blockers. Yet McVeigh is still running his
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: full smorgasboard of past routes and horizontal across the field.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: Plays with Nakua and Parkinson. Parkinson's basically become the third
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: wide receiver for the Rams. So if Adams isn't going
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: to play, They're going to have even more thirteen personnel
• 45:32
  Speaker 8: I would expect, and Kobe Parkinson's becomes a big part
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: of this game. The Seahawks think, and there's reason that
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: there's reason justification for this. The Seahawks think they're uniquely
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: equipped to handle the Rams thirteen personnel because of one
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: guy in particular, our buddy Nick even Worry, and the
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: fact that Emon Worry, at two hundred and twenty pounds
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: and sixty three, can guard wide receivers and tight ends
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: and stop the run and rush the quarterback and play
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: defensive end. There nobody else in the league that has
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: that weapon. The Seahawks are uniquely qualified to stop thirteen
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: personnel players because of Nick even Worried.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: I'm heading into this game, man, I mean, I'm sure
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: there's been bigger regular season games. You know, when you
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: get into the final week and it's winning, you're in,
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: the losing, you're out. But with all of this stuff,
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: the number one seed and the division all that stuff.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, can you remember a game with a few
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: weeks after the season that's been bigger than this one?
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: The only other one is when the Seahawks and forty
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: nine Ers played for the division title on Sunday night
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: on the last game of the season at Lewinfield. What
• 46:35
  Speaker 8: was that three? Was it pre pandemic or post pandemic?
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: I can't even remember, and I'm not mistaken. Yeah, the
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: Seahawks still made the playoffs that year. I can't believe.
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: I can't remember what year there was. I think it
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: was twenty nineteen or so. They made the playoffs that year,
• 46:51
  Speaker 8: So that wasn't an all or nothing situation, nor is this.
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: But you're right, Bucky. They either going to be the
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: first seed or the fifth seed, depending on largely on
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: the result of this game. If the Seahawks lose Thursday
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: to win the division, they would need the Rams to
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: lose twice and they would have to beat the forty
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: nine Ers. The Rams after this game are playing Atlanta
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: in Arizona. They're not losing those games. They could put
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: their C squad out and they'll beat either one of
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: those two teams. So the Seahawks will lose a division
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: if they don't win this game. What's that mean? That
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: means a road game at Tampa Bay and then they
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: win that game in the wild card, a road game
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: at probably Chicago or Green Bay. That's no way to
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: make the Super Bowl. To go to Chicago and Green
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: Bay after Tampa Bay and there'll be snowstorm. Every time
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: I've driven to Green Bay for a playoff game, it's
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: just been an absolute blizzard and blow out, white out conditions.
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: So they can really do themselves a favor being Thursday night,
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: say the least.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing.
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: Even if the Seahawks win Thursday Night, they still got
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: to go down to Santa Clair and win that game
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: or they won't win the division. The way the forty
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: nine ers are playing, the Niners have a tougher road.
• 47:57
  Speaker 8: They've got Chicago still to play. Do they go to
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: Indianapolis and the Grandpa Quarterback on Monday night? And so
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: suffice to say, the Seahawks can go from either having
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: all the home games come to the Seattle car Wash
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: in January or traveling all over the country. You have
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: to win three games on the road to the Super Bowl.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Greg Meller Sehawks insider is with us, and I think
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: we just use our last minute because maybe we don't
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: talk about it enough. But Jason Myers deserves some love, Greg.
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, has he turned into the best kicker in
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: the National Football League right before our eyes?
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: He might be the best kicker of the Seawks I've
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: ever had, and I really liked Steven Hauska for them.
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: He's twenty three of his last twenty four. You guys
• 48:41
  Speaker 8: remember what the one miss was, right.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: If I had time to think about it, but you
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: better answer it for us.
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: It was like from Hollywood Hills against the Rams from
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: sixty nine thousand yards to try to win the game
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: at the very end of desperate kick. That's the only
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: one he's missed in months. He's thirty seven of forty
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: two on the season. Thirty seven is now a team record,
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: the most field goals ever by a Seahawks kicker, and
• 49:05
  Speaker 8: they still have three games left. Now, the Seahawks would
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: rather than him not be setting records for most field
• 49:10
  Speaker 8: goals because it means they're malfunctioning in the red zone.
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: And that's another key to Thursday Night's game is they
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: need some seven points instead of three points on all
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: those drives to get Meyers in position for field goals.
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: But yes, when they get to the opposing forty five
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: yard line they think they can get Jason Myers. It
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: can get him three points. That's a powerful weapon in
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: your play calling, in your approach. You don't have to
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: drop back to pass necessarily on third and long of
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: the opposing plus forty five because you know you have
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: a kicker can bang it from fifty six plus. Now
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: the weather Thursday night might mitigate some of that distance,
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: but his accuracy, Yeah, that's a huge weapon. And in
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: this league, when games are this close and you have
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: a kicker who's going to kick three through the uprights
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: almost every time, that's a massive advantage. And I'll tell
• 50:01
  Speaker 8: you what between Michael Dixon, I don't care what the
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: stats say about Michael Dixon. He's a magician. And sometimes
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: he doesn't kick it seventy yards, but often he kicks
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: it exactly where he wants to to the side. He
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: makes balls go ninety degrees out of bounds. And the
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: other thing Jason Myers has been really good in is
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: the kickoffs. Lately, he's been a little bit shorter and
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: or too deep and putting it in the end zone
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: for touchbacks, but most of the season he has pinned
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: returners on their own goal line in the corner where
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: the guys have to catch it and then they get
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: nothing on the return. He's been really good at nailing
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: that target zone and making the receiver have to bring
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: it out right at the goal line and usually at
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: one side of the field where the covers can hem
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: him in. They the Seahawks have two excellent kicker punters
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: that give them a huge advantage.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: I better kick returner now too since the trade.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: He going straight up the field with little time on
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: the clock really helped them. If he went to the
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: far side of the field, that would have taken a
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: longer time, would not have gotten to the thirty seven
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: yard line, which is the second best drive start against
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: the Colts that they had. I asked McDonald about that,
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: and he said part of it was that the return
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: call was to that side, but part of it was
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: because of the decisiveness of shihed to just run a
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: straight line up the field, knowing that they had needed
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: every one of those forty two seconds. He didn't mess
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: around with trying to go across the field. He went
• 51:21
  Speaker 8: straight up the field and got thirty five plus yards
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: on that return. Those are a little unhidden type of
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: decisions as people don't know and you don't obviously get.
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, he runs around a little bit and they
• 51:32
  Speaker 8: only have like twenty eight seconds instead of thirty seven
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: to start that drive.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: That stuff matters, all right, Greg, excellent stuff.
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: We will do it again tomorrow, Yes, sir Tuesday, Greg Bell.

  Speaker 3: Our chance to chat with the greatest NFL official of
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: all time. Jane Sterator is with us right here on
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: Chuck and Buck in the mornings. Good morning, sir, Good
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: morning fellows.
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: How are you.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: We're doing great, We're doing great. I'm curious though, before
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: we start breaking down some plays and some rules and stuff,
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: did Philip Rivers in any way inspire you over the weekend?
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Did you think to yourself, it is time for a comeback.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I can still do this. I can come back and
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: still be the greatest NFL of visual of all time.
• 53:18
  Speaker 12: It's so funny, Chuck, I think this is the third
• 53:21
  Speaker 12: radio interview this morning, and everyone asked the same question. Yeah,
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: so it is one that must be out there, and
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: it makes me a little warm and fuzzy when you
• 53:31
  Speaker 12: see really someone just older than they should be playing
• 53:35
  Speaker 12: in that game.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: And you went right to me on it, Chuck.
• 53:38
  Speaker 12: I mean, the tie there is fantastic. And to be
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: perfectly honest, there was that moment where you know, our
• 53:46
  Speaker 12: our our careers kind of paralleled themselves for that fifteen
• 53:50
  Speaker 12: years or so, and you know, it looked awful familiar
• 53:53
  Speaker 12: to me. And then I watched last night's game only
• 53:57
  Speaker 12: thirty miles from where I live and realized it was
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: seven degrees and and I thought, you know this chair
• 54:03
  Speaker 12: in the studio. You know, Jane, what do you think
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: I think if it's two.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Steps in a football move? Okay, Jane, we don't like you.
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: But back to the chair, I went. I just that
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: was about how long it lasted.
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: She thought about it for a second.
• 54:19
  Speaker 12: It did, Bucky, It went right through like the morning breeze.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Does you know, like it just catches your hair for
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: a second if you have some No, I don't, but
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you know, And and then off we went.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: By the way. What was Rivers like? Because a lot
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: of fans, if you weren't a Charger fan or a
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Colt fan, you didn't like Philippers because it looked like
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: he just whined the entire game to the officials. What
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: was he like? To officiate. Did you enjoy officiating his games?
• 54:48
  Speaker 12: I loved officiating them, And yes, he wore on the
• 54:51
  Speaker 12: entire game and you have to officiated most of it.
• 54:54
  Speaker 12: And it was a beautiful thing. You know, My older
• 54:57
  Speaker 12: brother Tony was a back judge on my cruise. So
• 55:00
  Speaker 12: actually when Phil thought maybe something happened downfield or there
• 55:03
  Speaker 12: was a legal contact or holding, he loved to start
• 55:06
  Speaker 12: that eight to ten yard sprint down the field to
• 55:09
  Speaker 12: voice his opinion and displeasure. And you know, kind of
• 55:13
  Speaker 12: being the younger brother thing. And my job was to
• 55:15
  Speaker 12: protect a quarterback and knew he was going downfield to
• 55:19
  Speaker 12: kind of you know, scream at my brother just for
• 55:22
  Speaker 12: that minute. I was like, go ahead, go for it.
• 55:25
  Speaker 12: You know, I got a couple to throw out there too,
• 55:27
  Speaker 12: you know, say this to him while you're you know,
• 55:29
  Speaker 12: as you turn around, just to catch him off guard.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: But no, he was.
• 55:33
  Speaker 12: He was a joy and just intense and you could
• 55:35
  Speaker 12: see it, right. I mean, the beauty of the game
• 55:39
  Speaker 12: is it brings out the uh, the youthful vigor in
• 55:42
  Speaker 12: all of us. That and it's really did why I
• 55:45
  Speaker 12: did stay as long as I did in officiating, and
• 55:48
  Speaker 12: you could see rivers immediately more fright back to look,
• 55:51
  Speaker 12: it's this game time, man, you know. And the intensity
• 55:53
  Speaker 12: was up and so was the talk. So I thought
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: it was a really cool thing to witness.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was.
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: I agree it was cool, even though as a Bronco fan,
• 56:02
  Speaker 5: I was one of the ones that couldn't stand watching
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: him whine and talk trash Dad Dummet talking trash across
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: the field with no cuss words, like, you can't do that,
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: that's not right. But it was cool to see a
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: guy come out of retirement. I am curious, man, your thoughts.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Just the way in which the game is officiated now,
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're trying to protect guys, and I know
• 56:25
  Speaker 5: if a receiver is trying to make a catch and
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: you don't want to go to his head that I
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: get that whole thing. And yet there's times too where
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: a guy gets a hit and it looks like the
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: defender was just doing what he's supposed to do. There's
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: one in that Chargers Chiefs game. There's actually a couple
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: big hits in that one, but one in particular where
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: the guy ends up getting ejected, but it kind of
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: looked like he was committed to going in hitting the
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: guy in the chest. Then the receiver drops down, Thornton's
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: kind of drops down, so he hits him in the head,
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: and then because he's laying on the ground now, all
• 56:56
  Speaker 5: of a sudden, they eject him.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Is that the way it's supposed to be called?
• 56:59
  Speaker 12: It'll You're so right on all those points, because I
• 57:02
  Speaker 12: do think, Look, the player that was laying wood on
• 57:05
  Speaker 12: those hits is one of those players that you want
• 57:09
  Speaker 12: on your squad, right, because he causes receivers and quarterbacks
• 57:13
  Speaker 12: to think twice before throwing over the middle. There's a
• 57:17
  Speaker 12: huge element in this game that needs to continue to
• 57:21
  Speaker 12: happen that way. That's a big part of this game.
• 57:23
  Speaker 12: And the rules quite honestly have taken some of that
• 57:29
  Speaker 12: element out of the game because of the level and
• 57:31
  Speaker 12: amount of files that occur there. That throws over the
• 57:34
  Speaker 12: middle aren't nearly as dangerous as they used to be
• 57:37
  Speaker 12: because of the rules, And as you said, the first
• 57:40
  Speaker 12: hit was a classic hit within the rules, with force
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: to a player's chest depletes him and imposes his will, right,
• 57:49
  Speaker 12: And I am sure on that field when you get
• 57:51
  Speaker 12: hits like that, a lot of people on that field
• 57:54
  Speaker 12: like to start selling wolf cookies. A little bit and
• 57:57
  Speaker 12: letting people know they're out here for the whole day
• 58:00
  Speaker 12: beauty of that business, right, I mean, that is what
• 58:02
  Speaker 12: this is about. And then as you said the second play,
• 58:05
  Speaker 12: I think he initially did have a perfect target level
• 58:08
  Speaker 12: and I think he realized it the element of that.
• 58:12
  Speaker 12: And it's so hard to do this in real time.
• 58:14
  Speaker 12: I can't even I would never be able to even
• 58:17
  Speaker 12: think what goes through their head or how great they
• 58:19
  Speaker 12: are to try to manipulate that the leading with the
• 58:22
  Speaker 12: head porshed, trying to maybe get a little shoulder in
• 58:26
  Speaker 12: but still a little more just too much torpedo. Like
• 58:29
  Speaker 12: we used to think we're the best hits in the
• 58:31
  Speaker 12: NFL ten years ago, which now we want to get
• 58:34
  Speaker 12: out quite honestly, in defense of the player initiating the
• 58:37
  Speaker 12: shot in many cases and not the receiver. But then
• 58:41
  Speaker 12: as you said, like this receiver is doing what a.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Human would do. He's ducking to protect himself.
• 58:45
  Speaker 12: Now he lowers what was a good target, and now
• 58:48
  Speaker 12: it becomes a hit on a defensives receivers head and
• 58:50
  Speaker 12: neck area, So now you have a foul. Those are
• 58:53
  Speaker 12: hard plays to you know, the hard plays to rect
• 58:57
  Speaker 12: it is.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: The rules are the rules, and then.
• 59:00
  Speaker 12: As far as the ejection was concerned in that situation,
• 59:03
  Speaker 12: I think I did speak to it briefly on air.
• 59:06
  Speaker 12: When there is a flag down in the NFL for
• 59:09
  Speaker 12: anything but in sportsmanlike unnecessary roughnesses those plays, New York.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Then can come down and way in. Now.
• 59:16
  Speaker 12: I was told after some communication with the NFL in
• 59:19
  Speaker 12: real time on that play, was this a play where
• 59:23
  Speaker 12: New York came down and initiated And their response to
• 59:26
  Speaker 12: me was the officials were contemplating potentially ejecting on the field.
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: Did not make that initial assessment right on the field,
• 59:36
  Speaker 12: but with collaboration from New York, and that goes up
• 59:38
  Speaker 12: a different level to true vincent and the people in
• 59:41
  Speaker 12: operations that are a little above that that are in
• 59:43
  Speaker 12: the room.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: They made that decision. Now, whether that's.
• 59:47
  Speaker 12: Based on previous behaviors in other games or what their
• 59:52
  Speaker 12: standard is, or how they kind of process that, that's
• 59:56
  Speaker 12: kind of into the office.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: But the ejection was confirmed or.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: I think basically made at the end of the day
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 12: from the office and not the officials on the field.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: I had a conversation with my mom last night. She
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: said she was going to be sending me some Christmas
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: fudge as she tends to do. But this year, I'm
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: going to order a batch of woof wolf Cookies. That's
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: what I'm going to order for Christmas.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 12: Wolf Cookies has good and when you're an older guy
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 12: out there with the young guys and you can try
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: to you know, I'm not up with all the stuff
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 12: that happens in the generations that followed me, but every
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 12: once in a while, you can even throw one of
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 12: the ones that we used in the seventies back down
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 12: to them and it's like your jeans and the drawer
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 12: there chuck. You know, if you leave, if you leave
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 12: them in there long enough, actually comes all the way
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: around again and you're making a fashion statement. So you know,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 12: I would try to keep a few of those late
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 12: sixties early seventies one liners and throw them out there
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 12: to the next generation, and then they would look like.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Dude, I like that one. I'm going to use it.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I said, just give me.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 12: Some credit on it back end, but go know, feel
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 12: free to go with it again.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Lookies is when we used it.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Christmas wolf Cookies are the best. I mean,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: so delicious. Jeans or is with us year CBS Rules
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: analyst joins us every week to talk about some of
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: the calls in the National Football League. Just curious since
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: before we get off the Chiefs game, now that Patrick
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: Mahomes is hurt, will NFL officials stop rigging games for
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 12: No, But more than likely what's going to really happen
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 12: is and it happened this year.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: And it's ironic, isn't it. Like the last couple of.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 12: Weeks the Chiefs they just didn't pull off the big wins.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 12: And I think they lost six games within one possession
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 12: this year, so you know, they were probably a possession
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 12: away from the schedule or their you know, their record
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 12: looking different. But all of a sudden, it's like there
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 12: are a few penalties there against Kansas City and they're losing,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 12: you know, And sometimes when you art to foul, you
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 12: start to lose. There'll be a new team here on
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 12: the horizon that will now be getting the unexpected favor
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 12: of the officials as they succeed as teams again. And
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 12: listen by the way those guys are playing up in
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 12: Seattle right now, they have a chance to be one
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 12: of those teams rather successful and it's fun to watch it.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: Really is, all right, Well, let's talk about siks. There
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: are a couple of plays. I mean, we did win
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: the game, so we're not going to grouse too much
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: up here, but it did seem like there were a
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: couple obvious pis up to us up here in Seattle.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: One on JSN in the first half, one against Rashishahid
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: in the second half. We assigned you to look those
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: up and tell us what you thought whether or not
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: we got screwed over there.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I thought the first one was was a PI.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 12: That's to play the deepest official on that sideline. It's
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 12: his receiver. It's the widest receiver. It's kind of man
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: to man one on one coverage. That's his lock in
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 12: key from snap to in this case, snap to ball.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 12: That's a play you got to get. There's enough restriction there,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 12: there's enough of a turn there that he put that
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 12: receiver at a disadvantage and really went beyond the rule
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 12: or what would be allowed. I would say, to give
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 12: him an opportunity that I felt.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: Was a foul.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 12: The other play, look, technically, I think if you throw,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 12: nobody says too much for me. And again it's not
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 12: like I put this into my element all the time.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: When I refereed. But if you watch that play, the
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 12: moment that d Bac got to Shahed, he kind of
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 12: puts his arms up in the air and soccer style immediately,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: you know, as he started to run and the ball
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: is still a ball that you can make a play on.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 12: And it was almost as if immediately when the contacts
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: and that defensive back started to snuggle when occur with him,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 12: he was already in his I can't get to this
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 12: ball because of this contact action. I think if he
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 12: plays a little more and fights back through that defensive
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 12: player who did not have his back toward the football,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 12: so he wasn't playing the ball, which means, you know,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 12: contact to him becomes a little more technical or I'm
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 12: going to call it a little quicker because of that.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 12: But I think if he doesn't just throw his arms
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 12: up like I'm giving up right now, as the ball
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 12: still was the three steps away from a play plant,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 12: your legs start to work back towards the inside through
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: that defensive back who hadn't got his head around, and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 12: I think that play becomes an easier play as far
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 12: as a foul is concerned. The tough part about it
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 12: is we know we've seen that play this year. This
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 12: is me speaking philosophically. I think it's I like those
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 12: plays as no calls. I think those plays just the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 12: way that one blended and again the way he reacted.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: To that initial contact and blending.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 12: I would love that to be a consistent no call
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: because I think players adjust to that. But when we
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 12: see it throughout the league that as soon as that happens,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: they know a flag is coming or it's coming more
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 12: often and than not.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: I think we lend ourselves to that.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 12: Behavior right where the expectation now is that's automatically they
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: called that. They called that last week or two weeks ago,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 12: and it wasn't a lot of contact. So again that's
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 12: just a personal thought on that play. But then you know, look,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 12: because of the contact, if they throw it and they
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 12: go to Gene and say, Gene, is that really enough
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 12: for passing appearance? Yeah, I can break that down and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 12: tell you, yeah, he's not playing the ball. He makes
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 12: it a little early contact and make it you know,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 12: and kind of agree with a call. But I like
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 12: it personally, Again, that's personal opinion that when I'd like
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: tould be looking at them and good fellas Man's game
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 12: today and I'll fight back and get the football here.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Give me something more to earn this. This is a
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: big file at a big game. Yeah, Geene.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: There was a play in the Jets Jacksonville game where
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 5: the Saunders guy gets objected for making contact with official
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: and just first and foremost, even though there was times
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: I wanted to absolutely beat an umpire or two wow
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: over the course, I did several Yeah I didn't. I
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: didn't because that obviously is unacceptable. You just get mad
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: and leave it at being mad when it comes to that.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: I'm all about protecting you guys, you know, especially when
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: if you guys make a call and somebody comes up
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 5: and shoves you or really is alluding to I'm mad
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: at you and I'm going to then get physical. That is,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: there's no place for that, and I think punishment should
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: be severe. But is there a gray area where you
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: can make contact? I remember years ago somebody was celebrating
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: and just getting ready to do to a giant fist
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: bump and clocked a referee and it's like, okay, well
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 5: that he wasn't trying to do that on purpose. Is
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: that still a flag or is there a gray area
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 5: where you're like Okay, you're trying to break up a skirmish.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 5: If a guy is just pushing people away from himself
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 5: and he actually touches an official, is that ejection worthy?
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a good point.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 12: Look in my career, I always empathize with what the
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 12: players are dealing with.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: And you have a couple of big guys that.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 12: Are pushing and giving themselves a business a little bit
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 12: that hasn't elevated, but I need to break it up.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 12: If I did make the decision to go in there
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: and try to separate these giants, I knew that if
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 12: I always felt like, if I go in there and
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 12: I catch a flipper or an arm flinging out where
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 12: he doesn't realize who it is, it's even trying to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 12: separate him, and it just happens. And as you said,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 12: incidental is the word. And now I get kind of
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 12: clocked for that. I put myself there. It's not mandatory
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 12: that I go in there and physically break you up.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 12: I can blow my whistle five or six times. And
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 12: what I did, more than not buck quite honestly, to
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 12: not put myself in that situation, was I would blow
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 12: my whistle, which is allowed whistle in close proximity.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: And then I would get it out of my mouth
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: and start.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 12: Yelling that the play clock was running, which would always
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 12: stoke the offensive players because of the way they were trained,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 12: like get yours out of here and go back to
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 12: the huddle, because they're going to have a delay a game.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 12: When you yell the play clocks running on a football field,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 12: when big guys are tied up, you'd be amazed how
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 12: quickly a lot of them separate this situation.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 12: That's Boris Cheek, who is I think thirty plus years
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 12: in the NFL. It's his last year. He's been around
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 12: the business a long time. Did he talk to Saunders
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 12: a couple times throughout the game?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Was there something.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 12: Else that happened in there at that moment that kind
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 12: of stoked him to go beyond incidental?
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: And it was like, look, I've been.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 12: With you know, three times here in the last five
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 12: minutes on plays, and you hear me next to you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 12: and you throw that arm in the direction of the voice.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 12: You know. I don't want to read too much into it,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 12: but there isn't a level of incidental contact that should
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 12: be permitted. But then I appreciate you saying it. It's
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 12: not easy when you're out there man, and that intensity,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 12: and these guys are legitimately upset and a lot of
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 12: times for valid reasons that things happened. But contacting officials
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 12: we take extremely serious.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: But I do think there's a window there.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 12: To understand what incidental contact is and what happens in
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 12: the moment.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: You know too, So that would be my take on it.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if you watched the Ohio State
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: Michigan game, but there was like a player that headbutted
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: an official and didn't even get tossed from the game.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: He got a fifteen yard penalty, but it didn't even
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: get tossed from the game. It was very strange.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I did say it. Check yeah, yeah, and you're gone.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: You're just gone, gone, right.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Gone, You're gone? Yeah, yet not even you're just gone.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 12: I mean, those are plays where I'm a talker, as
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 12: you guys can tell, right, I mean, but there are
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 12: those moments in games where behaviors like that happen and everything.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Stopped and you're out of here.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 12: Escort him out now, because no, that leads itself to
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 12: so many different layers of something that makes this game
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 12: not something we like, So yeah, I agree with you.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't think that I'm going to get the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: chance to wish you a happy holiday next week, so
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do it right now. And I'm very curious.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: We all as children had that one Christmas gift that
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: we always remembered that kind of changed our entire childhood.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: Was your there is a striped shirt and a whistle
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: by chance? Or is there something else?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 12: Actually, I don't even really remember a gift that jumped out.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, we were from an old school.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 12: Italian family with seven kids, and the ref shirts because
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 12: of my late father.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: They were in every room every year, every day.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 12: You know, they were part of the couch furniture. That's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 12: what you threw over the chair when it had a
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 12: whole winter, if the dog wanted to lay there in
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 12: the wintertime or something. So h But I think the
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 12: gifts that I remember most, quite frankly.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Were the ones that were either really.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 12: Basic and required some creativity. I remember the erector set.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 12: If that dates me a little bit, I know that
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 12: goes way back right and I look back and think
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 12: about that gift and think, hey, they put actual.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Steal in there.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 12: You know it wasn't this plastic preformed stuff like this
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 12: was Like I remember opening up thinking, Hell, I can
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 12: build like a building with this, Like it was real
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 12: good material. I can fix the fender on the core
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 12: and the driveway with this stuff, you know. But looking back,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 12: it was it was good to be part of such
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 12: a huge family, and the chaos of Christmas and the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 12: joy of the family really was the greatest gift of all.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: If that doesn't sound.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 12: So warm and fuzzy, that's great here on a beautiful
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 12: Tuesday morning.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Merry Christmas to you and yours. Thank you
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: so much for being with us all season long, and
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: look forward to more conversations here in the future.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 12: Thanks guys, have a wonderful holiday and good luck this Thursday.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: Jean Stator joining us right here on Chuck and Buck.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: His segment brought to you by BMW Seattle. Looking for
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: a new or used BMW or something else, even in
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: time for the holidays, perhaps check out BMW Seattle, conveniently
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: located between I five and I ninety near the stadiums.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: Coming on next. Everett fits you, joins us, what's wrong
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: with the crack and we're gonna let the voice fix
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: at Sports Radio ninety three point.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Three, trying to have the voice joining us here again
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: on this Wednesday.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: The Voice of your Seattle Cracking hasn't been called many
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: wins as a voate, but we're gonna get to the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: bottom of that. Good morning Everett.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 13: Good morning Chucky. Have you taken more vacations We talked
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 13: about this beginning of the year.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 13: You you took a break around Thanksgiving and you know
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 13: what happened.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: We didn't win a couple of games. So were you
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: back home?
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: I have a couple more days off this upcoming week
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: going into the holiday, so maybe that reverses it. Maybe
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: that takes it right out of the content for Yeah,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: you're right, Yeah, because light Wikie keeps sending me nasty emails. Yeah,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: ever fits you the voice of your Seattle Cracking with
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: us right now? I mean, where is the alert level
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: around the organization right now? I mean this is eight
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: out of nine games that they have lost.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I think it depends on what circle
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 13: you run with, what room you walk into it at
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 13: any certain time, and they, I think in the locker room.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: The most frustrating part about all of this is you
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 13: can see how hard the guys are working. You can
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 13: hear Channer Stevenson and Jordan Everley and Lane Lambert. You
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 13: can hear in their voices, you know, the the uncomfortability
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 13: with this situation because the players are playing hard. I
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 13: mean you almost you almost wish this was a stretch
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 13: of games where they're getting blown out by four or
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 13: five goals, because at least you can say, well, hey,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 13: you know they don't have it, but this is the
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 13: team that's still limiting teams to two goals, maybe three goals.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 13: They're getting burnt by, you know, a couple of mistakes,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 13: a couple of empty net goals. And if you take
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 13: out the two oiler games, the nine to four and
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 13: the four nothing oiler losses, I mean, these have all
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 13: been games where the Kraken have been in a position
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 13: in the last five minutes of the third period to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 13: minimally get a point to force overtime, if not get wins.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 13: So that's that's the most frustrating piece about all of
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 13: this is that despite the record, the team isn't playing poorly.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 13: They're not playing bad. It is a mistake here, it
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 13: is a bounce there, it is a it is a
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 13: momentary lack of detail here that is ultimately losing the
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 13: crack in these games.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, obviously they're not intending to do it,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: and yet yeah, it seems like it's similar fashions in
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: which they're doing it, whether it's close games and they're
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: just not finding a way to get the edge or
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: you know, and then regardless of the empty net goals
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: where it looks different on the scoreboard than the actual
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 5: game itself. So I'm where is the main thing, I
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 5: mean when you see him skating, you know, in practice,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 5: and what is the main thing that they need to
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 5: shore up to find a way to just kind of
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 5: flip the tables a little bit.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 13: Well, we've talked a lot about special teams, whether that's
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 13: the power player, the penalty kill. I mean, the penalty
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 13: kill is getting better as of late.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: So they they were.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 13: They allowed a power play goal in nine straight games,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 13: and I think rock Bottom was the four for five
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 13: effort the Oilers had on the power play a couple
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 13: of weeks ago. So the power the penalty kill has improved.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 13: The power play still continues to be a work in progress.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 13: I've always contended that if you need one of the
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 13: units to be strong, i'd rather a strong penalty kill,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 13: because that just takes away the momentum from the other team,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 13: and that could really deflate a lineup and deflate a building.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: Especially if you're on the road. So the PK is
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: going in the right way, it's still the offense. I
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: think it's still the offense.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 13: It's still you know, the cracking are getting shots. You know,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 13: the last six game or seven games, In five of
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 13: those games, Seattle has accounted for twenty eight or more shots.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 13: So Ley Lambert has been saying, I want the guys
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 13: to be selfish. I want these guys to shoot more.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 13: They're shooting more. They've run into some pretty good goaltenders
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 13: in the last couple of a couple of weeks. But
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 13: you know, all of these I understand our excuses, and
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 13: at the end of the day, we're in the NHL
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 13: to win hockey games. And laid as said multiple times,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 13: the excuses are there. We're sick, we're hurt, we're injured.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 13: No one cares. I don't care. We have to win
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 13: hockey games. And at a certain point, you gotta you
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 13: have to man up to a man. You have to
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 13: challenge each other internally collectively to get it done. So
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 13: you know it's gonna be a very difficult task tonight
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 13: against Colorado, the best team in the league. But Seattle
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 13: has played a lot of the top teams.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: In the league.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 13: They played them pretty close this season, and they've gotten
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 13: a couple of wins that, on paper around the league
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 13: probably were unexpected.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm tired of Lane using me and my
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: vacation time as an excuse in the locker room.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: That's right on the board.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 13: Ye see what the side says, because this is an.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 12: FCC regulator show, But it's it's not kind.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: He's not mixing words, is what you're saying. Yeah, Well,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: let's talk about this Colorado team, because I don't know
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: if everybody's aware of what they're doing so far this year.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: They've lost two games this season. Who this entire season
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: twenty six wins, two losses. And I already thought Everett
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: that Nathan McKinnon was the best player in hockey and
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: just didn't get credit for that. And he's leading the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: league in pretty much everything. So what on earth? What
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: kind of a buzzsaw have the Avalanche turned into in
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 13: Well, they've calmed down, they've cooled off a little bit.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: They're only seven to one and two in their last
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: ten games.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, they've they've pulled down quite a bit from
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 13: where they've been. I mean, listen, it doesn't get more
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 13: complete than the Colorado Avalanche when when you look at
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 13: their their top line is is arguably the best trio
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 13: right now in the NHL. They can score from the
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 13: blue line. Defensively, they leave the league in scoring with
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 13: obviously Kill mccarr and and Devon Tamees back there their goaltending,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 13: they the wood Shed Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood. Scott
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 13: Wedgwood already up to fourteen wins this season, So, I mean,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 13: it is it is remarkable what's going on in in Denver.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 13: And this is the team that you know, two thousand
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 13: and two, they're they're coming up on or twenty two. Rather,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 13: they're coming up on five years since they've won the Cup,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 13: and a lot of people will tell you within that
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 13: five year window, you know you need to start either
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 13: retooling or you need to tear it down. Very few
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 13: teams can stay that consistent for that long and the
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 13: Avalanche have been one of those teams that have been
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 13: able to retool. I remember last season after a first
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 13: round exit to Dallas, fans in Denver were calling to
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 13: blow up the team. They were calling for Jared Bennar,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 13: They're head coach to be fired. And it's like, guys,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 13: you just came off the Cup a few years ago
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 13: and you just made the playoffs. I think it's now
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 13: five six years in a row for the Avalanche, So
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 13: they're now getting back to a place of dominance. I mean,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 13: everybody had Colorado on paper winning the Cup before the
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 13: season started. I think now that has just been solidified more.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 13: They made a couple of big trades last year. They
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 13: had a couple of big free agency signings that have
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 13: paid off dividends for them, and Brock Nelson, Martin Hius,
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 13: and Brent Burns. So this is I mean, not arguably,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 13: this is definitely going to be Seattle's toughest game to date.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 13: But like I've said before, this kracking team, they have
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 13: beaten the league's best this year. I go back to
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 13: a game in Winnipeg in early noir late October where
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 13: the Kraken shut out Winnipeg on their home ice three nothing.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 13: It was just the third time Winnipeg had been shut
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 13: out at home in two seasons and just their fifth
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 13: or seventh loss at the time, seventh home loss in
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 13: the last two years overall. They then come back home
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 13: and beat Edmonton three to two. That was their first
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 13: win over the Oilers in eight tries. So I mean,
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 13: for Seattle, this isn't new. Playing the top teams in
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 13: the league isn't new, And maybe this could be that
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 13: turnaround wake up call that this team has been waiting for.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 13: I'll tell you what, if the Kracken want to win
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 13: this one, it's going to be a defensive game. This
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 13: is not going to be a four to four, three
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 13: five four Kracking win. I mean, this is going to
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 13: be a greasy, grinding game. If the crack had won
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 13: a half success well.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine a better spark though, for a team
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: that needs one, is to pull an up set against
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: at home against the best team in the NHL. So
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: all right, let's get that done tonight. Thank you, sir,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: We appreciate it, and we will be listening.
• 1:21:19

• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: Okay. How good a golfer is he? What are we talking?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: He's a good golf Yeah.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 11: He right now is tied for twelfth at an ASHER
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 11: Tour event at Silverado in Napa, California. I thought I
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 11: was brilliant on the reads yesterday, shot two under. Now
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 11: we have to go low today.
• 1:23:42

  Speaker 1: Then he listens I am an excellent caddy.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 11: I am an excellent caddy if he only listened to
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 11: me all the time.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: Kids.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: Well, look, I don't want to ignore this. I think
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: that that would sort of be wrong to do, since
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: we discussed it so much last week. Uh So I
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: just wanted to say that I was rooting for you
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: to get the Koog's job. I realized that it didn't
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: come together. But I'm with your colleague, Brian Jones. Uh,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: I'm happy that you're still on that set at CBS
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: because I would have missed you there.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 11: Well, you're kind. I had a great experience being involved
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 11: in the conversation with the Cougar's got to talk to
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 11: a lot of boosters and such, which was always a
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 11: treat and uh but unfortunately he didn't get to talk
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 11: to the main people. So wish Kirby Moore the best.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 11: We'll see how the co can do next year.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 5: What is it about this Kirby Moore? And do you
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 5: know much about this guy?
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 11: You know, he's Kellen Moore's brother. He obviously had a
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 11: nice year.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: With Missouri.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: He and Eli Drinkletz cobble together a heck of an offense.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 11: You know, I Almud Hardy, the kid that transferred from
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 11: Louisiana Monroe had an epic year, So they'll be able
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: to run the ball, assuming that they'll have the personnel
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 11: for such. You know, it's a it's a good hire.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 11: He's a kid from the state of Washington and hopefully
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 11: he'll have great success.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: All Right, Rick new Isiel is with us our college
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: football insider. Let's move on to other discussions.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: Then.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: How many programs and fan bases right now are being
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: held hostage by Michigan until they make the decision on
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: this head coach?
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 11: Well, you're you're It's an interesting point, and I promise
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 11: you the agents are using it as leverage because not
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 11: only are you having to kind of sit there, if
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 11: you're an athletic director wondering if your guy is going
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 11: to get a call from Michigan, you've got to wonder if, like,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 11: for instance, if Jed were to get a call, who's
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 11: Washington going to reach out to.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: Right, somebody's getting stole one way or the other.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the musical chairs are going to get played. So
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 11: you got to be kind of two steps ahead if
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 11: you're going to make sure that you're not left without
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 11: a chair. And so that's that's what's complicated, especially at
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 11: this time of year when we're supposed to be focusing
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 11: on the postseason. We're doing anything.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: But are you.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: Hearing anything out of ann Arbor that who they might
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 3: be leaning toward.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 11: It makes all the sense in the world that they
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 11: would that they would communicate with Jet just because he's
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 11: been there and he's been successful and such. Now the
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 11: only negative may be that he's been there and he
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 11: was there with Jim Harbaugh because a lot of this
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 11: stuff that's gone down on a negative side. I don't
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 11: know if it's a direct correlation. I think that would
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 11: be unfair, but I think it's at least fair to
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 11: say that there's you know, the Matt Weiss is the
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 11: guy who's now involved in an FBI del Sheron Moore
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 11: who's got himself in an unbelievable world of trouble. You know,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 11: those guys could both be doing prison time. I mean,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 11: that's that is incredible that we're talking about that with
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 11: the program as you know, at the top of the heap,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 11: as Michigan is. So I don't know what the folks
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 11: that Michigan will say as we get in our car
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 11: and head Silverada to take you know, shoot low number.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 11: That's the seat belt bell that you're hearing. But I'm
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 11: just giving you a play by play. You know, you
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 11: want to know exactly what's happening here tea time just
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 11: around the corner.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 8: But no, it's a it's a it's a it's.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 11: A predicament and then some And the real question at
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 11: Michigan is who's going to make the higher because ward
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 11: manual he's got to be in a little bit of
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 11: hot water as well.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, what do you read into when it comes
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 5: to some of the coaches that are being you know,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 5: kind of brought up on this topic, Kalen Board basically
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: just saying nope, not going to do it. But then again,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 5: we've heard that before. You know, Jedfish hasn't necessarily pushed
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 5: all the smoke out of the room, but he's said
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 5: a couple of times that he's not interested, that he's
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 5: happy where he's at. Katie Dillingham broke down into tears
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 5: as if he was breaking up with, you know, his
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 5: high school girlfriend. Are you reading anything into it or
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 5: is that just that's just the nature of the beast,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 5: Because you don't want to go back on your word,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 5: even if there's something better.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 11: I think it's the nature of the beast. I mean,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 11: it's very very difficult to tell everything that the cards
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 11: that are sitting their face down, it's very difficult to
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 11: do that. I don't know that, you know, I've made
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 11: some mistakes in that regard, having said something that I
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 11: probably shouldn't have said, you know, and not being as
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 11: forthcoming as I should have been in my life.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 8: With respect to this.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 11: And you always think you're doing the right thing by
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 11: holding back your cards, but the truth of the matter
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 11: is you just need to say nothing, and so in
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 11: saying nothing, you can't be held liable for saying something
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 11: that turned out to be untrue. So I think everybody's
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 11: saying what they think at the time, and it can
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 11: always defend it. That's how I felt at the time.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 8: But when the.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 11: Next day you're moving on, or the next hour you're
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 11: moving on, that's because new news came in and it's
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 11: something that they can't turn down. It's one of those
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 11: things I just remind people. Don't hate the player, hate
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 11: the game. And this is all attributed to the fact
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 11: that this well, in this particular case, it's because of
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 11: an incident that none of us could have predicted, but
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 11: mostly it's determined because of a calendar that's just completely wacky.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 11: It doesn't make any sense, and the people that are
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 11: in charge of college football should and can do better.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: Can that get fixed to this offseason? Like some of
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: these calendar issues.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 11: To me, they can get fixed tomorrow if we just
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 11: get in a room. People in the room. There needs
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 11: to be coaches in the room. There needs to be
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 11: a representative for the players in the room. There needs
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 11: to be the commissioners in the room. There needs to
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 11: be the presidents in the room, and there needs to
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 11: be the TV.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: People in the room.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 11: And they need to sit there and say, here's what's
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 11: important to us, and then we can figure this out. Well,
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 11: who don't need to be who don't need to be
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 11: in the room are the kids that are being recruited
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 11: out of high school right now because they can. To me,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 11: hurrying them to get to college in January is a
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 11: disservice to them. I don't know why you have to
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 11: start college semester early. You're not playing games in that semester.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 11: You need to let these kids have their senior year.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 11: But there's a race now, especially with finances as part
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 11: of it. We're seeing all sorts of states around the country,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 11: you know, trying to make sure nil is available for
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 11: high school athletes. I mean, it's goofy, and we need
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 11: to come to grips with the fact that we're letting
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 11: the cart run the horse.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: College football, it's goofy. That's going to be the new
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: tagline heading into the offseason.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 11: Rick new Isel is with us, and yet yet it's impenetrable.
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: It always delivers.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 11: It's still the best game.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: I think Aaron Taylor said it best. It's never been
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: more popular, it's never been more interesting, and yet it's
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 3: never been more vulnerable than what it is right now.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: I think that's really well said on another of your
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: colleague's parts from Saturday.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 11: Glad you're watching our guys.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, of course, glad you're watching us? Of course, Yes,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: Rick new Isel is with us, our college football insider
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: and Caddy extraordinary right here on Chuck and Buck in
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 11: For the stars, I like to say, Caddy for the stars.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about these college football playoff games.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: They'll start on Friday. I mean Alabama Oklahoma on paper
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: eight verses nine. This is supposed to be the best
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: game of the weekend. Will it turn out to be?
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 11: I think it's going to be a wail of the game.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 11: The first time they played this year, neither had one
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 11: hundred yards rushing, So defense is going to be the
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 11: key here. Unfortunately for Alabama, Ty Simpson, who looked like
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 11: I think he was the favorite for the Heisman Trophy
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 11: in some point late September early October, has fallen on
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 11: some hard times in the last couple of games. He's
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 11: been barely fifty percent when he was sitting there at
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 11: around seventy five percent, So for him to come out
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 11: as the victorious quarterback over John Mattier, to me, he's
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 11: going to have to get back into that seventy range,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 11: which means that they're going to have to cobble together
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 11: some quick throws, tight ends, and backs are going to
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 11: have to be involved rather than just the three high
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 11: flying wide receivers because you don't have a lot of
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 11: time to throw when our Mason Thomas and the rest
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 11: of that Oklahoma Sooner defense gets their ears pinned back.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 5: How excited are you for the Saturday games? Anyone in
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: particular stand out to you?
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, that one in College Station Miami at Texas
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 11: A and M is going to be a great game.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 11: Miami is a terrific team. Carson Beck knows all about
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 11: the Aggies, having been in the SEC. I don't know
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 11: that they played them, but they certainly saw them on
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 11: film as they got ready for all their other SEC games.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 11: This is all going to be about Aggie's pass rush.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 11: If the Cassius Howls of the world can get home
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 11: and make that third d M down defense be as
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 11: potent as it was all season long for the Aggies.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 11: In a home crowd, remember that crowd will get going,
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 11: so snap council be a problem for the Miami front.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 11: You get Carson Beck under heat, he'll turn the ball over.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 11: And that's exactly how they lost those two games to
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 11: both Louisville and SMU.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe the two best pass rushers in the country, Bain
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: and Howell going against each other in this game, Miami.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: That's right, Texas A and M. If there was to
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: be a major upset involving one of the group of
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 3: five teams that made it into this tournament, which of
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: the two games would you say will end that way?
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 11: It's difficult to figure that out. It's difficult to figure
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 11: that out when you're talking about James Madison because they
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 11: didn't play anybody. Their lone loss was to Louisville. They
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 11: lost that game twenty eight to fourteen. I think their
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 11: schedule rank was like one hundred and twenty fourth. This
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 11: is not a banner year for the Sun Belt, so
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 11: it's difficult. But to me, James Madison seems like a
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 11: heck of a team. You can't blame somebody just because
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 11: they didn't play anybody. But I worry when they get
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 11: to Oregon that they're going to be a little bit overmatch.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 11: So I'm going to go with Tulane. I'm going to
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 11: think Tulane learned something the first time they played Ole Miss,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 11: and Retslof will have to be miles better than he
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 11: was the first time. And if that happens, and given
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 11: all the confusion in Hotty Toddy Land, yeah, let's say
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 11: Tulane can give him a game.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 5: How how important or how how big of a deal
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 5: could it be with the old miss all of the
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 5: stuff going on outside? I mean, is that something that's
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 5: gonna be tough for these young men to uh kind
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 5: of put out of their mind.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: Bucky.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 11: It feels like this has got to be all about
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 11: the players. It's got to be all about those guys.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 11: You can imagine how many conversations they've had with either
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 11: their own personal agents, former coaches who are now at LSU,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 11: are you going to come with us? And all that
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 11: kind of stuff. If if the people in that locker
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 11: room can focus and look at each other and say,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 11: because they know each other is getting the calls, if
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 11: they can say, hey, listen, we're not messing with any
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 11: of this now, We're going to finish our season. It's
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 11: too damn important and we're too damn close. Because they've
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 11: got a good they've got a good draw. I mean,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 11: if they win this game against Tulane, they're going to
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 11: the Sugar Bowl to play Georgia, and they had Georgia
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 11: down nine in Athens. You don't you can imagine they
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 11: would love another shot at that and then they're in.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 11: If you win that one, you're in Sevins. So Ole
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 11: miss is in rare air right now. They've never won
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 11: this many games. This leadership of the team has to
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 11: be come to.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 11: If it isn't a player led team, then this is
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 11: going to end pretty quickly.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: Caddy for the Stars. Rick new Eisel joining us to
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 3: talk some college football here this morning. College football playoff
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: gets started on Friday. When it's all said and done,
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: who's winning the national championship?
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 11: I got Ohio State again. I've got them beat in
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 11: Texas Tech in the final. I think Texas Tech knocks
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 11: off Indiana. I think, and you know what, it'll be
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 11: good for college football. The conversation that will be around
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 11: that game, if the Red Raiders are in the final,
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 11: will be Okay, they were picked to finish sixth or
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 11: seventh in the Big Twelve. They basically bought their roster
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 11: and have They now are in a position where is
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 11: this is the way of college football. You can buy
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 11: the wins. I mean, we're talking about Brennan Sorosby, the
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 11: quarterback at Cincinnati, being rumored to be going and being
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 11: the next Indiana quarterback at five million a year. That's
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 11: that's incredible.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: By the way, if you want to you want to
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: guarantee something, since Damon Ryola is the single white female
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: of college football, he will be a Texas Tech Red
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: Raider next year. There's you can book it, you know,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: bank it.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 11: Well, Oh my goodness, they have another kid, though, Will
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 11: Hammond that came in off the bench this year.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 8: That's pretty dark.
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 11: Good so, and I'm not sure how much I believe
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 11: in Dylan Reyola is a great player, but there's no
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 11: question he looks like Mahomes.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 3: He's deliberately trying to I'll say that, there's no question,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: and we're going to get We're going to get more
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: arch madness next year. Good decision by him, right.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 11: Oh, clearly, clearly.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 8: And listen.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 11: Thing about his family is they know how good college
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 11: football is.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: They know how.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 11: Important these years are to have his memories and such.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 11: So there's no hurry for him. I think he'll be
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 11: a first round quarterback. I think he'll I don't know
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 11: that they'll have the career of his uncles, but I
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: think he's going to get that chance, and no reason
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 11: to hurry the process as he's at one of the
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 11: premier institutions and kin to have a lot of talent
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 11: around him next year.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: All right, well, we're going to let you go. Let
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: you go focus on your responsibilities to your son today
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: and to the sports world. Let's close with your Taco
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 3: Time pick of the week of all the games this weekend,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: which do you feel the best about.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 11: I'm going to take the Oregon Ducks silver James Madison.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 11: I'll lay the points and I don't worry about it.
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 11: I think the Ducks are going to have their day though,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 11: And for Bucky's case, it's fly, fly and fly some
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 11: more fly.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 5: They might be getting as healthy as they have been
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 5: all year too, just in time.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, have fun today, enjoy the golf, and
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 3: we'll talk to you again next week.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 11: Just just know this, you boys listen to me a
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 11: hell of a lot more than my son will here
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 11: in the next day.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: I believe you.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: I believe I could get there in two. Yeah, I'll
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 3: trust you on that.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 11: Thanks than holidays, we'll talk souit all right.
• 1:39:26
