- 2:48Speaker 2: Last night, the week got started with a twenty three
- 2:51Speaker 2: to nineteen win for the Houston Texans. Suddenly, the defense
- 2:55Speaker 2: of the Houston Texans looks as good as anybody's in
- 2:57Speaker 2: the National Football League.

- 4:31Speaker 4: Good morning, Greg, Good morning. Are you all right?
- 4:36Speaker 1: When do you head to Music City?
- 4:38Speaker 4: About this time tomorrow? Take most of the day to
- 4:41Speaker 4: get there. Get there early Saturday evening.
- 4:43Speaker 2: I picture Reba McIntyre picking you up at the airport,
- 4:46Speaker 2: driving you to your hotel.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I figure that kind of service you get in Nashville.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Am I wrong about that?
- 4:52Speaker 4: I think you are wrong. She probably has other things
- 4:54Speaker 4: to do. I would guess, Yeah, would have other things
- 4:57Speaker 4: to do unless it's their job to pick me up. Yeah.
- 5:00Speaker 2: He was really kind though, really giving, like a big
- 5:02Speaker 2: heart on that. Reba McIntire might read her all wrong,
- 5:05Speaker 2: but got a good persona that.
- 5:06Speaker 3: I think that if it just boils down to whether
- 5:08Speaker 3: or not you have your ostrich skin boots and a
- 5:10Speaker 3: bolo tie on, maybe a cowboy hat, I'm you're not
- 5:13Speaker 3: going to pick you up if you dress normal.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. Yeah, they'll be wearing any army sweaters.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Look like we love it or something that work.
- 5:24Speaker 1: That would work. That would definitely a gay friend.
- 5:27Speaker 4: I used to be roommates of Mind and Federal Away.
- 5:30Speaker 4: We split a house when we were lieutenants, three lieutenants
- 5:32Speaker 4: at Fort Lewis. Lived in this place out at dash
- 5:34Speaker 4: Point Road and cea Away and he lives Titus Rodriguez.
- 5:38Speaker 4: He lives outside Nashville, So I'm probably going to see.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Him, Okay, all right, so more of a chance he'll
- 5:43Speaker 2: pick you up at the airport than Riba Mac.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I would say.
- 5:47Speaker 1: That sounds fair more likely.
- 5:51Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's dive in Seahawks in Nashville with Greg.
- 5:55Speaker 2: They'll be taking on the Titans, and certainly there haven't
- 5:59Speaker 2: been a lot of flowers thrown at the feet of
- 6:00Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans this year.
- 6:02Speaker 1: They seem like a rudderless ship.
- 6:05Speaker 2: And I have a feeling cam Ward's not exactly excited
- 6:09Speaker 2: about facing Mike McDonald's defense this week. He's looked confused
- 6:14Speaker 2: against lesser defenses throughout the course of the season. He's
- 6:17Speaker 2: down at Calvin Ridley. They can't run the football. I
- 6:21Speaker 2: mean I heard one guy go as far as saying
- 6:23Speaker 2: the Seahawks are going to shut them out.
- 6:24Speaker 1: What do you think of that, Greg.
- 6:26Speaker 4: Who's that guy? Yeah? I do. I do think this
- 6:31Speaker 4: is a chance for a shutout for the defense. No
- 6:34Speaker 4: matter if the offense plays poorly and they don't get
- 6:37Speaker 4: the run game going and Donald turns it over some
- 6:39Speaker 4: more times, I think the defense is another one of
- 6:42Speaker 4: those games that defense can win. They're leading pass receivers,
- 6:48Speaker 4: a tight end and you mentioned Ridley's out. They have
- 6:51Speaker 4: a couple other wide receivers banged up. They don't run
- 6:54Speaker 4: the ball very effectively. They don't do anything very effectively.
- 6:58Speaker 4: And we mentioned Ward he's a good quarterback, and McDonald
- 7:03Speaker 4: talked about how he's really good for his age at
- 7:07Speaker 4: making plays that aren't quite there. But he's running around
- 7:10Speaker 4: and often with his head cut off because of his
- 7:14Speaker 4: offensive lines issues, pass protection issues. It's worth mentioning again
- 7:18Speaker 4: he's been sacked. The Titans have allowed forty one sacks
- 7:22Speaker 4: in ten games. For perspective, the Seahawks have allowed ten,
- 7:26Speaker 4: So four times a game, more than four times a
- 7:28Speaker 4: game against anybody, he gets sacked, and you would think
- 7:33Speaker 4: that's where the Seahawks can make their hay and would
- 7:36Speaker 4: sack them at least four times. If you get a
- 7:39Speaker 4: sack on a drive, the numbers in the NFL say
- 7:42Speaker 4: it's about less than thirty percent that you're going to
- 7:45Speaker 4: get a first down on that drive, let alone score.
- 7:48Speaker 4: That's how much sacks meet in the NFL. That's why
- 7:51Speaker 4: creamium on pass rush and disguising blitzes and things like that.
- 7:55Speaker 4: So that's four drives a game on average that cam
- 7:58Speaker 4: Ward and the Titans are completely ruined. Second and twenty
- 8:01Speaker 4: or whatever, because of sacks and four drives a game.
- 8:05Speaker 4: Sometimes you only get eight possessions in a game. That's
- 8:08Speaker 4: why their offenses last in the league. And that's where
- 8:11Speaker 4: the Seahawks I think will win the game. They put
- 8:13Speaker 4: them in situations where they have to throw, and then
- 8:16Speaker 4: Leonard Williams and the Markets Lawrence and Byron Murphy and
- 8:18Speaker 4: those guys will do what they've been doing all season.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Ah, I'm with you on that.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Not a lot of talent on that side of the ball,
- 8:25Speaker 3: which you would expect when you get the first overall
- 8:27Speaker 3: pick the year before, and so yet on the other
- 8:30Speaker 3: side of it, it's kind of a similar situation where
- 8:33Speaker 3: especially if Gray's Abel's out, are we looking at three
- 8:37Speaker 3: backup into your guy? I guess two and your starter
- 8:40Speaker 3: at right tackle maybe should be a backup because that's
- 8:44Speaker 3: where the pressure is going to be coming from with
- 8:46Speaker 3: Jeffrey Simmons, and that's the only way I could see
- 8:48Speaker 3: them creating short fields or possibly being able to put
- 8:52Speaker 3: up any any amount of points.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Really, yeah, Bucky, Jeffrey Simmons can wreck the game by himself.
- 8:58Speaker 4: The most surprising thing I saw the week's so far
- 9:00Speaker 4: was a great Zabel on the practice field yesterday. He
- 9:02Speaker 4: was looking like he was fully participating in the part
- 9:05Speaker 4: we were allowed to watch. They listened him as a
- 9:08Speaker 4: limited participant. He didn't practice Wednesday. He did practice yesterday,
- 9:11Speaker 4: which is only four days after. He was on his
- 9:13Speaker 4: knees and face down on the turf. Looked like he
- 9:15Speaker 4: was seriously injured against the Rams. So that is a
- 9:20Speaker 4: good sign that, as Mike maccone said, it's not a
- 9:22Speaker 4: serious injury. The calculus now becomes do we want to
- 9:25Speaker 4: put him into this game and give it or give
- 9:28Speaker 4: him another weekend to rest and be ready for the
- 9:30Speaker 4: following well not just next week, but the next six
- 9:32Speaker 4: games to end the regular season. Zabel, of course, is
- 9:37Speaker 4: pushing to play. That's his personality. I asked Kubiak, are
- 9:42Speaker 4: all the trades that we talk about with Zabel, where's
- 9:44Speaker 4: his toughness rank? And he said he's a little gangster.
- 9:48Speaker 4: Little for six six three fifteen, you can call him
- 9:50Speaker 4: a little gangster, but he said he is. The look Kubiak,
- 9:54Speaker 4: the offensive corner said, the look that Zabel gave him
- 9:57Speaker 4: when he asked him after the Rams game, are you
- 9:58Speaker 4: all right? The look he gave him saying I'm coming
- 10:01Speaker 4: back and he made it seem to him like he
- 10:04Speaker 4: was going to play this week. That'll be interesting whether
- 10:07Speaker 4: they want to run him out there or would they
- 10:09Speaker 4: give him the weekend off. We've mentioned Seahawks historically have
- 10:12Speaker 4: been conservative medically and having guys rest that maybe could play,
- 10:17Speaker 4: but on the erring on the side of getting him
- 10:20Speaker 4: for the longer term. Let's see if they do that
- 10:23Speaker 4: was able. If they don't, Christian Haynes is on the spot.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Because Jeffrey Simmons usually lines up on the right side
- 10:30Speaker 4: of the Titans defensive line. He moves around, but his
- 10:32Speaker 4: primary places interior right defensive tackle out to end. He
- 10:38Speaker 4: plays over the center out to end, and if he's
- 10:41Speaker 4: the right defensive tackle, that's right opposite of Christian Haynes
- 10:44Speaker 4: or whoever the left guard is. So that would be
- 10:48Speaker 4: the biggest matchup for Seattle to wreck their day. Haines
- 10:52Speaker 4: was getting would get his first start. Of course, we've
- 10:55Speaker 4: talked about. He was on injured reserve for all season.
- 10:57Speaker 4: He's been preparing up to now's if he's going to start.
- 11:00Speaker 4: It was able. Walked out on the practice field yesterday.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Johnsondell is uninjured reserve as we know. With Timmy starting
- 11:06Speaker 4: at center, and Anthony Bradvers had his problems at right guard.
- 11:10Speaker 4: If I'm the Titans defense, that's where my game plan
- 11:13Speaker 4: is going right through those three guys, and that's the
- 11:17Speaker 4: key to the game.
- 11:17Speaker 2: M Yeah, what other injuries risks could affect this game
- 11:23Speaker 2: for the Seahawks.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Well, yesterday Ernest Jones, you remember he played in the
- 11:28Speaker 4: LA game with the big rap on his knee after
- 11:31Speaker 4: missing one game with the knee injury, the Washington knee injury.
- 11:34Speaker 4: He full go practice Wednesday looked like oh okay. I
- 11:37Speaker 4: think he came out of it well from the game,
- 11:38Speaker 4: and then yesterday he was a limited participant. That could
- 11:41Speaker 4: have been rest or in that point where we didn't
- 11:43Speaker 4: talk to McDonald since before Wednesday's practice and won't again
- 11:46Speaker 4: until after Fridays. But Jones took a step back at
- 11:49Speaker 4: least to decelerate a little bit yesterday. We'll see what
- 11:52Speaker 4: that means today. And the injured list. Robbie Oots has
- 11:54Speaker 4: been gone all week for what the team is calling
- 11:57Speaker 4: a personal matter. He hasn't been a practice Wednesday or Thursday,
- 12:01Speaker 4: and Tory Horton has not been on the field. And
- 12:05Speaker 4: this's a lucky He's going to play again this week
- 12:06Speaker 4: the wide receiver Jay.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Is this a week where you figure Kubiak might really
- 12:12Speaker 3: put the pedal to the medal with Ken Walker or
- 12:14Speaker 3: is this another one where, considering it's an opponent you
- 12:17Speaker 3: feel like you should win, that you're going to we
- 12:20Speaker 3: might see even more of Zach Charboney or George Halawey,
- 12:23Speaker 3: well Bucky.
- 12:24Speaker 4: They don't game plan into a week saying well, well,
- 12:27Speaker 4: we should both raise this team by three touchdowns, so
- 12:29Speaker 4: when we get up to two touchdowns, let's do this.
- 12:32Speaker 4: So they'll come in with a game plan of winning
- 12:35Speaker 4: the game. And if you believe McDonald to say sally
- 12:38Speaker 4: of his words, that will mean a much fuller Kenneth
- 12:42Speaker 4: Walker as the running back one. So I'm expecting that
- 12:45Speaker 4: I'm expecting him to get the ball more in short yardage.
- 12:47Speaker 4: I'm expecting him to get the ball and stay in
- 12:49Speaker 4: the lineup more when they're inside ten and twenty yard lines,
- 12:53Speaker 4: those two and now the third down, I think Sharvony's
- 12:56Speaker 4: going to remain the third down back by and large
- 12:59Speaker 4: and then two minutes drills. But if he would, if
- 13:02Speaker 4: Walker would just get all of the short yardage in
- 13:05Speaker 4: red zone carries, he'd probably end up with more snaps
- 13:08Speaker 4: than Charboney for a game, and that hasn't happened yet
- 13:12Speaker 4: this season, so let's see if that changes. When they're
- 13:14Speaker 4: at the goal line, we've mentioned it, they need to
- 13:17Speaker 4: put Walker as their guy. So if there is a
- 13:19Speaker 4: play that's unblocked and there's defenders in the backfield, at
- 13:22Speaker 4: least you have a chance to have the running back
- 13:25Speaker 4: make a guy miss. You don't have that chance nearly
- 13:27Speaker 4: as much with charbon Ay. That's where I put Walker.
- 13:30Speaker 4: Let's see Sunday if Walker gets the short yards goal
- 13:33Speaker 4: line reps that a lot of have gone to Charbonay,
- 13:37Speaker 4: and yet.
- 13:38Speaker 2: You might have a week since you're down a couple
- 13:40Speaker 2: of lignemen potentially that you might need the extra help
- 13:44Speaker 2: and pass protection. So you're damned if you do, and
- 13:46Speaker 2: you're damned if you don't. In terms of trying to
- 13:49Speaker 2: get Walker more playing time, it could come at the
- 13:52Speaker 2: risk of something else in your offense.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Right, and if you do that, I mean it's not
- 13:57Speaker 4: the Walker can't do it, but you're right, the reason
- 13:58Speaker 4: that Charbonay is or down to back as the blocking.
- 14:03Speaker 4: If you do that, I would expect a lot more
- 14:05Speaker 4: to tight ends with chipping and helping with the tight ends.
- 14:08Speaker 4: They don't want to devote Barnard to tight end blocking
- 14:12Speaker 4: on pass routes because he's become such a pass place
- 14:15Speaker 4: because it's such becomes such a good pass receiver. I mean,
- 14:18Speaker 4: he had twelve targets in LA. Many of those were
- 14:21Speaker 4: secondary reads after he's been looked as Donald was looking elsewhere.
- 14:25Speaker 4: By the way, Donald yesterday said, it's a couple of
- 14:28Speaker 4: things interesting about the Rams game. He said, he's got
- 14:31Speaker 4: to come off sticking to just one or two guys
- 14:33Speaker 4: and go through his progressions, trust his feet, all the
- 14:35Speaker 4: things that Koubek says. But I asked him, what do
- 14:38Speaker 4: you mean sticking to one or two guys, and he
- 14:40Speaker 4: said he's got a There were times in LA well
- 14:44Speaker 4: he just stayed the one side of the field to
- 14:46Speaker 4: one or two guys primary receivers, without going through his
- 14:50Speaker 4: entire progressions. I'm thinking of the interception outside to the
- 14:53Speaker 4: cornerback to Jackson Smith and Jigruary threw it laid outside
- 14:56Speaker 4: as he was getting hit. But you can understand, and
- 15:00Speaker 4: I mean, for up until the Rams game, we were
- 15:04Speaker 4: praising and talking about how much he was focused on
- 15:07Speaker 4: Smith and Jigga right, Yeah, so it you can understand
- 15:11Speaker 4: why Smith and Jiggba is on pace to break Calvin
- 15:14Speaker 4: Johnson's single season receiving record. If he averages what he's
- 15:19Speaker 4: been averaging up to this point, he will go past
- 15:21Speaker 4: nineteen hundred and forty six yards for the season. He's
- 15:23Speaker 4: got eleven forty seven or whatever it is now. It's
- 15:26Speaker 4: one of the highest totals ever for through ten games
- 15:29Speaker 4: of an NFL season. So of course Darnold's trying to
- 15:32Speaker 4: stick on Hi because no one's been able to cover
- 15:34Speaker 4: him the Rams. The difference in the Rams game was one,
- 15:37Speaker 4: he didn't recognize the two shell coverages that the Rams
- 15:40Speaker 4: kept changing and switching in and out of. And two
- 15:44Speaker 4: the pass rush got to him more than in most games.
- 15:46Speaker 4: And when the passers got to him, then he had
- 15:48Speaker 4: to get rid of the ball, sometimes often when they
- 15:50Speaker 4: were covered, instead of waiting for Smith and Jigger to
- 15:53Speaker 4: break open. So, for whatever that's worth, we'll see if
- 15:57Speaker 4: he changed against the Titans. The Titans pass is the
- 16:00Speaker 4: one formidable thing they have to go against Seattle.
- 16:03Speaker 3: How important would you think it is? I mean, I
- 16:05Speaker 3: know Tory Horton is probably still out. He didn't practice
- 16:08Speaker 3: right and yet I mean to me, I still feel
- 16:11Speaker 3: like there's as well as well as Jackson, Smith and
- 16:13Speaker 3: jigg but is playing and yes, continue to give him
- 16:16Speaker 3: his targets and let him do his thing. But I
- 16:18Speaker 3: still feel like, even aside from aj Barner, I think
- 16:22Speaker 3: you got to get Cooper Cup or Rashid Shaheed, somebody
- 16:25Speaker 3: else involved in the game plan a little bit for
- 16:28Speaker 3: when you go into big games against teams that you've
- 16:30Speaker 3: played once in the season, like your division foes and
- 16:33Speaker 3: possibly the big games in the playoffs.
- 16:35Speaker 4: My sense that you're right, Bucky, they need to do that,
- 16:37Speaker 4: and Shaheed in particular can diversify this offense and really
- 16:41Speaker 4: change how defenses cover Smith and Jigba. We've talked about
- 16:45Speaker 4: his speed, deep speed Shaheed, especially if you send them
- 16:49Speaker 4: down the middle on post routes and seam routes, so
- 16:51Speaker 4: they put a safety in a bind whether they want
- 16:53Speaker 4: to continue to shew cover over the top against Smith
- 16:55Speaker 4: and Jigba or have to devote that extra safety, that
- 16:59Speaker 4: extra cover top guy to Shaheed. They haven't really unleashed
- 17:03Speaker 4: Shaheed that way yet, and there were a couple of
- 17:06Speaker 4: times the Rams game that Hugh and I talked about
- 17:08Speaker 4: on the roundtable yesterday. That would have been a touchdown
- 17:10Speaker 4: had Donald just laid it out a little bit more,
- 17:13Speaker 4: was an example, But that even that was like a
- 17:15Speaker 4: fifteen yard route. They haven't really done home run balls
- 17:18Speaker 4: down the middle of the field enough to deter teams
- 17:20Speaker 4: from having bracket coverage over Smith and Jigua. I'm not
- 17:25Speaker 4: I don't think it has not been in the game plan.
- 17:27Speaker 4: I think that Donald has just so trusted Smith and
- 17:30Speaker 4: Jigua that he hasn't gone that way. I've they Shahit
- 17:34Speaker 4: has run some deep routes, now not habitually deep posted
- 17:38Speaker 4: puts the center in the safety in the box. But
- 17:41Speaker 4: there are times that Shaheed has been opened that he
- 17:43Speaker 4: hasn't thrown to him. And that's true of any quarterback
- 17:46Speaker 4: in every game, of course. But it's going to take
- 17:48Speaker 4: a couple deep throws to Shahed, probably a couple of
- 17:51Speaker 4: deep completions to get on film for the rest of
- 17:53Speaker 4: the league before teams start thinking about what they're going
- 17:57Speaker 4: to devote to Shahikause. Right now, if I'm watching film
- 18:00Speaker 4: of the Seahawks and developing a defensive game plan, I
- 18:03Speaker 4: don't think he's thrown to twenty two. I think he's
- 18:05Speaker 4: throwing to eleven and I'm tilting my coverage that way.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Less than a minute.
- 18:09Speaker 2: They're gonna wear wear helmet stickers with forty five on
- 18:12Speaker 2: or Ken Easily on Sunday? Are they gonna do anything
- 18:14Speaker 2: else once they return home.
- 18:17Speaker 4: I haven't heard that this is typical for players that
- 18:21Speaker 4: have been legends, that have been around for or haven't
- 18:25Speaker 4: played for decades, that they honor him in some way.
- 18:30Speaker 4: Suffice to say that he is a absolute Seattle legend
- 18:33Speaker 4: and redefined the position before cam Chancellor. Did we know
- 18:37Speaker 4: most listeners know the story of how he got a
- 18:39Speaker 4: strange from football and the ibuprofen and his kidney and
- 18:42Speaker 4: the kidney trans transplant, and now how Paul Allen if
- 18:46Speaker 4: you don't know, Paul Allen was the man who reconciled
- 18:49Speaker 4: that whole situation and reached out to Kenny Easily and
- 18:52Speaker 4: brought up back into the fold soon after he bought
- 18:55Speaker 4: the Seahawks what some thirty plus years ago to get
- 18:58Speaker 4: Kenny Easley back as a seat Hawk legend and have
- 19:00Speaker 4: him in the ring of honor, and then fortunately for him,
- 19:04Speaker 4: fortunately for the team, it was a much more amicable
- 19:07Speaker 4: relationship through the time up to the time of his death.
- 19:10Speaker 4: So a lot of the Seahawks don't know of him,
- 19:14Speaker 4: of course, because they're now twenty some years old and
- 19:16Speaker 4: they don't remember Kenny easy with that guy do and
- 19:18Speaker 4: watching him play. He was a stud before UCLA in
- 19:23Speaker 4: the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia. He was the first
- 19:26Speaker 4: quarterback in Virginia high school history to rush for a
- 19:29Speaker 4: thousand yards and throw for a thousand yards. And he
- 19:32Speaker 4: had a pick of wherever he wanted to go to school.
- 19:34Speaker 4: Every college in the country recruited him. He went to
- 19:38Speaker 4: USC four year starter, UCLA Hall of Famer, All American
- 19:42Speaker 4: and then the Seahawks pick him fifth. Over All, the
- 19:44Speaker 4: rest is history. But I just throw that out there
- 19:47Speaker 4: because there are a lot of listeners who may not
- 19:48Speaker 4: know Kenny Easley's background. But he was an absolute legend.
- 19:52Speaker 4: And again he was pretty much the enforcer Cam Chancellor
- 19:55Speaker 4: before Chancellor was almost even born.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Safe travels, Greg, and we will I'll talk to you.
- 20:00Speaker 4: On Monday, Okay, Happy weekend? All right?
- 20:03Speaker 2: Greg bell Arciahawks in Siety can follo him at GML
- 20:06Speaker 2: Seattle on x and of course Thenewstribune dot Com with us.
- 20:08Speaker 2: His segment is brought to you by game day bubbles.
- 20:13Speaker 2: That's right, Coppola Diamond Prosecco. From holiday cheers to game
- 20:17Speaker 2: day touchdowns, there's one play that always wins. Coppola Diamond
- 20:22Speaker 2: Collection Prosecco Crisp sparkling with bright fruit flavors that make
- 20:27Speaker 2: every toast shine all right. Coming up next, we play
- 20:30Speaker 2: Factor Fiction at seven thirty five. Plus, is this guy
- 20:35Speaker 2: on the radar for the.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Mariners this offseason? I sure hope so. Sports Radio ninety
- 20:40Speaker 1: three point three kha RFM. Factor Fiction coming up in
- 20:59Speaker 1: five minutes.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I don't even believe myself the pick I'm about to
- 21:03Speaker 2: make at Factor Fiction at seven thirty five. I can't
- 21:06Speaker 2: believe I've convinced myself of this, but I have. So
- 21:09Speaker 2: we'll have that for you here in about five minutes.
- 21:11Speaker 2: But I can't get through the week. I'm not going
- 21:13Speaker 2: to be here next week. I don't know what the
- 21:15Speaker 2: Mariners might do. It feels like the hot stoves cooking
- 21:18Speaker 2: a little earlier than it's ever been cooking before. So
- 21:22Speaker 2: I just want to weigh in on this topic before
- 21:25Speaker 2: something might happen in the nine days that I am away.
- 21:29Speaker 1: I would really like.
- 21:30Speaker 2: This Moonataka Murakami from Japan to be a Mariner going forward,
- 21:36Speaker 2: and there are a lot of hesitations out there, Bucky,
- 21:39Speaker 2: because of how high his strikeout rate is over in Japan.
- 21:44Speaker 2: And he's gonna come over here and face obviously a
- 21:47Speaker 2: lot more fastball pitchers, but a lot of fastball pitchers
- 21:51Speaker 2: now in Japan.
- 21:52Speaker 1: It's not the league that he used to be.
- 21:53Speaker 2: I mean, shoe Otani and Yamamoto and Sasaki are coming
- 21:56Speaker 2: over here throwing one hundred and two miles per hour,
- 21:58Speaker 2: for goodness sake. So I don't think it's the Jamie
- 22:01Speaker 2: Moyer League that it used to be or its reputation is.
- 22:06Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's as big a jump
- 22:08Speaker 2: as it used to be.
- 22:10Speaker 1: And this guy has just dominated. He hit third in.
- 22:13Speaker 2: The Japanese lineup that won the World Baseball Classic two
- 22:17Speaker 2: years ago, for goodness sake, third as a twenty three
- 22:20Speaker 2: year old. And now he's coming over to the majors,
- 22:23Speaker 2: and I hear a lot of Mariner fans.
- 22:25Speaker 1: That don't want him. I don't want that guy.
- 22:28Speaker 2: I don't like guys to strike out all the time, either,
- 22:30Speaker 2: but I sure like guys who are twenty five years
- 22:33Speaker 2: old who've dominant, who are considered Japanese superstars. Tell me
- 22:38Speaker 2: the last Japanese superstar that failed over here and has
- 22:43Speaker 2: the potential right away with an eighty power on his
- 22:47Speaker 2: scouting grade, the highest scouting grade you can get for power,
- 22:51Speaker 2: and has the potential to hit sixty homers when he
- 22:53Speaker 2: comes over here at any given season. I kind of
- 22:56Speaker 2: want that guy. I don't know why so many people
- 22:58Speaker 2: don't want that guy.
- 23:00Speaker 3: The idea of the home runs obviously, and just like
- 23:04Speaker 3: I do, I'm a big fan of them. I am
- 23:09Speaker 3: a little worried about the strikeout. You're right, it's not
- 23:11Speaker 3: the same Japanese league that it once was, but it's
- 23:14Speaker 3: it's a definite step below as far as the amount
- 23:17Speaker 3: of stuff you're gonna see over there versus over here.
- 23:21Speaker 3: But I mean, I'll take a strikeout of game. I
- 23:23Speaker 3: mean that's a wonderful That's what I typically would be
- 23:26Speaker 3: is a strikeout of game, and then you have the
- 23:29Speaker 3: opportunity for four different times to maybe lock up on one.
- 23:33Speaker 3: He doesn't do a whole heck of a lot other well,
- 23:35Speaker 3: he doesn't. He gets quite a few walks too. Looking
- 23:37Speaker 3: at his numbers, I mean as Jerry walks. Yeah, Well,
- 23:40Speaker 3: it just it's the part of it's it's part of
- 23:42Speaker 3: the way in which baseball hitting has gone where it
- 23:45Speaker 3: was the three outcomes strikeout, walk or home run. I
- 23:48Speaker 3: don't like that, yeah, but you can have that in
- 23:51Speaker 3: your lineup. As a matter of fact, just about every
- 23:53Speaker 3: good team has a guy like that. And you know
- 23:57Speaker 3: you're right when you say, who's the last Japanese stud
- 24:01Speaker 3: that has come over here? Assuming he was going to
- 24:03Speaker 3: be good, that wasn't good. I don't even can't even
- 24:06Speaker 3: remember one. I mean, for the typically they I didn't
- 24:09Speaker 3: kind of know who they are. And if they're gonna
- 24:11Speaker 3: come over here, they're not coming over here to just
- 24:13Speaker 3: give it a shot. They're coming over like I think
- 24:16Speaker 3: I can do it. I know I can do it.
- 24:17Speaker 3: I'm ready to do it, and typically they do.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Yeah, Yoshida from Boston's kind of falling flat, But I
- 24:23Speaker 2: don't think he was considered like a Japanese This guy's
- 24:26Speaker 2: considered a superstar. This guy in the Japanese lineup. Two
- 24:29Speaker 2: years ago, at age twenty three, it was show Hey
- 24:32Speaker 2: hitting I think second, and he was hitting behind Showey.
- 24:35Speaker 2: He was hitting third. Sho Hay was in the Japanese
- 24:38Speaker 2: League as a hitter and a pitcher, and he wasn't
- 24:40Speaker 2: putting up the numbers. This dude's been putting up before
- 24:43Speaker 2: the age of twenty five. He's setting records over there.
- 24:45Speaker 2: He broke sadaharo Oh's single season home run record. He
- 24:49Speaker 2: had just fifty six this past year. I mean, I
- 24:52Speaker 2: can't even, for the life of me, imagine somebody not
- 24:57Speaker 2: wanting this guy.
- 24:58Speaker 1: If the Mariners are willing.
- 25:00Speaker 2: To pony up the money now, I don't know what
- 25:02Speaker 2: that's going to cost. There are wildly varied reports about him.
- 25:06Speaker 2: I don't know what it would cost. But if we
- 25:08Speaker 2: end up, if I come back to work, you know,
- 25:11Speaker 2: two Mondays from now and we've got Munataka Morikami, I'm pumped.
- 25:15Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Right now.
- 25:17Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I had to move in the direction of Hey,
- 25:19Speaker 3: let's add to this, right. We talked to Jerry earlier
- 25:21Speaker 3: this week and he was like, well, we're not going backwards, right,
- 25:24Speaker 3: We're not trying to go backwards. I mean, the idea
- 25:26Speaker 3: of moving on from guys is not what we wanting
- 25:28Speaker 3: to do. Want to keep moving forward. This should be
- 25:30Speaker 3: a step in the forward direction, for sure. I mean,
- 25:32Speaker 3: I think right now they're focused on Polonco. But if
- 25:36Speaker 3: he's posted, then I guarantee they're having conversations about it,
- 25:39Speaker 3: whether or not you're right with the varied reports of
- 25:42Speaker 3: what it could be. You know, twenty million dollars a year,
- 25:45Speaker 3: thirty million dollars a year, down to fifteen million.
- 25:47Speaker 4: Dollars a year.
- 25:48Speaker 1: They're in on some one of those.
- 25:50Speaker 3: Now, it's just a matter of whether or not a
- 25:52Speaker 3: big time team, one of the big market clubs is like, no,
- 25:55Speaker 3: we love him more than you.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Let's play some fact or fiction. Where's that to go?
- 25:59Speaker 1: Glad with us? It's your shot at our weekly.
- 26:02Speaker 5: Thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's
- 26:06Speaker 5: fact door Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
- 26:11Speaker 5: hotel where every day feels lucky. Fact door Fiction is
- 26:15Speaker 5: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
- 26:20Speaker 1: I'm taking the Cowboys plus three and a half? What
- 26:25Speaker 1: taking the Cowboys plus three and a half?
- 26:26Speaker 4: Wow?
- 26:27Speaker 2: I did not expect that.
- 26:28Speaker 1: I didn't either, I really didn't. I can't believe.
- 26:33Speaker 2: I mean, we started the show today talking about how
- 26:36Speaker 2: crazy the NFL is this season, where a team looks
- 26:39Speaker 2: good and then they look terrible, and then they I mean,
- 26:42Speaker 2: there just has been such little consistency this year. The
- 26:46Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys have felt like the most dysfunctional organization in
- 26:52Speaker 2: the National Football League this year, and yet Philadelphia, with
- 26:57Speaker 2: an eight and two record, might be more dysfunctional right now,
- 27:01Speaker 2: like right now, right in this moment.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Yeah, but apparently nobody likes Jalen Hurts.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Everybody's sick of aj Brown by the Philadelphia Eagles seem
- 27:11Speaker 2: more dysfunctional than the recently galvanized Dallas Cowboys. Behind the
- 27:16Speaker 2: death of Marshawn Neeland and the additions of Quinn Williams,
- 27:20Speaker 2: who's been added to the addition of Kenny Clark, who's
- 27:22Speaker 2: been added to the addition of Logan Wilson, who's been
- 27:25Speaker 2: added to the return of Overshown, who's a freak pass
- 27:29Speaker 2: rusher that is back into the lineup. I just got
- 27:31Speaker 2: back last week. Malie Hooker is back for them. And
- 27:35Speaker 2: suddenly the Dallas Cowboys not only don't feel dysfunctional, they
- 27:38Speaker 2: feel galvanized. The defense not only doesn't seem like the
- 27:42Speaker 2: worst in the National Football League right now, it looks scary,
- 27:46Speaker 2: healthy and fast and potent. They're getting three and a
- 27:51Speaker 2: half points at home against a Division rival, a Eagles
- 27:55Speaker 2: team that everybody says does not look good.
- 27:58Speaker 1: But they keep winning games.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Well, go ahead and win and don't cover, because that
- 28:02Speaker 2: means I win. So I'm tagging the Dallas Cowboys plus
- 28:06Speaker 2: three and a half at.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
- 28:09Speaker 3: Uh, you definitely have talked yourself into that. But all
- 28:12Speaker 3: those things are valid points. I do think they're playing better,
- 28:14Speaker 3: but I don't know. To me, I feel like the
- 28:17Speaker 3: whole Eagles thing, I feel like it's blown out of
- 28:20Speaker 3: proportion to some degree. I mean it's like if they say, well,
- 28:23Speaker 3: aj Brown is like he's frustrated, right, he has not
- 28:26Speaker 3: been involved a whole heck of a lot together. They're like,
- 28:28Speaker 3: are you not the same guy? And then he just
- 28:30Speaker 3: wants to throw out, well, what a sake? One not
- 28:33Speaker 3: the right guy either. I don't know if it's as
- 28:35Speaker 3: much dysfunction in the building, because I think that winning
- 28:38Speaker 3: does cure a lot of things. Even if you're irritated,
- 28:41Speaker 3: you win, you go out there. I think this is
- 28:44Speaker 3: a game where the Philadelphia Eagles offense gets right all right.
- 28:48Speaker 2: So I'm tagging the Cowboys plus three and a half
- 28:51Speaker 2: at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. If you agree with
- 28:54Speaker 2: the picktext fact to four nine four or five one.

- 29:51Speaker 2: If you disagree fiction to four nine four or five one.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Your next opportunity to play comes at eleven thirty five
- 29:57Speaker 2: this morning, with Mark James and Christopher Kidd.
- 30:00Speaker 1: Coming up next.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Sam Donald taking too much of the blame for his
- 30:04Speaker 2: four interceptions on Sunday. We'll discuss it next on KJR.
- 30:09Speaker 2: And it turns out beautiful Sunday, sixty three degrees. N
- 30:13Speaker 2: ain't no win, no chance for rain. So yeah, exactly,
- 30:18Speaker 2: let's talk about Sam Donald. Our quarterback has been beating
- 30:20Speaker 2: up this week for the first time all season along
- 30:25Speaker 2: really taken to task the national guy's having a lot
- 30:27Speaker 2: of fun, kind of throwing out the old you know,
- 30:30Speaker 2: big games. Maybe Sam's not a big game quarterback. Of course,
- 30:34Speaker 2: his interception rate turnover rate has been more emphasized this week,
- 30:39Speaker 2: coming off of a four interception game. He was even
- 30:43Speaker 2: quoted yesterday as describing his own tendencies to turn the
- 30:47Speaker 2: ball over as being unacceptable fourteen of them this year
- 30:52Speaker 2: ten interceptions, which is a third most in the National
- 30:55Speaker 2: Football League.
- 30:56Speaker 1: I hope it's lip service.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Because I as much as he cost us the game
- 31:02Speaker 2: of the four interceptions on Sundawn. So with Hugh Millen
- 31:05Speaker 2: and his rant yesterday on the Roundtable, I mean, we've
- 31:08Speaker 2: gotten nothing but terrific quarterback play out of this guy,
- 31:12Speaker 2: and I don't want it to change because he suddenly
- 31:15Speaker 2: feels an emphasis that I can't turn the ball over,
- 31:18Speaker 2: and now he starts getting timid. I got a lot
- 31:21Speaker 2: of other categories where he ranks pretty highly too. Sure,
- 31:25Speaker 2: he's third in the league in interceptions, that's not good,
- 31:27Speaker 2: but he's also fourth in QBR, sixth and overall rating.
- 31:31Speaker 2: PFF says he's the second best quarterback so far in
- 31:33Speaker 2: the National Football League few at sacks allowed of any
- 31:36Speaker 2: starter in the NFL, top ten in touchdown passes first,
- 31:39Speaker 2: and yards per pass third, in completion percentage.
- 31:43Speaker 1: I don't want to.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Bring any harm to that all those other statistics because
- 31:49Speaker 2: Sam Darnold thinks he's got to change his game to
- 31:53Speaker 2: avoid criticism or to avoid four interceptions games.
- 31:57Speaker 1: What did Mike McDonald say about Sam Sunday? He let
- 32:01Speaker 1: it rip, He let it rip.
- 32:03Speaker 2: I mean they want him to let it rip. And
- 32:06Speaker 2: when you let it rip, it comes a consequence. Sometimes
- 32:10Speaker 2: sometimes they make the interception as opposed to it deflecting
- 32:14Speaker 2: off the fingertips and a harm and landing harmlessly over
- 32:18Speaker 2: on the sideline. I don't want him to change. I mean,
- 32:21Speaker 2: if he does back to back for interception games, then
- 32:23Speaker 2: maybe there's something to think about. But I don't want
- 32:25Speaker 2: him to change just because he had a stinker of
- 32:27Speaker 2: a game on Sunday.
- 32:29Speaker 3: The idea of the over well, it's not an idea.
- 32:32Speaker 3: The overreaction of an individual game in just sports in
- 32:35Speaker 3: general is ridiculous. I mean it's the dude, is you
- 32:39Speaker 3: just rattled off ten things that he's in the top
- 32:42Speaker 3: of the NFL in.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Over exact same way.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, over the course of the season so far,
- 32:48Speaker 3: and yet oh just don't trust him.
- 32:50Speaker 1: That's it?
- 32:51Speaker 3: Can't what because of four bad throws?
- 32:55Speaker 1: Bad throws?
- 32:56Speaker 4: Okay? Good?
- 32:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish that he was. He wishes he was
- 33:01Speaker 3: as perfect as his critics are apparently. It's yeah, you
- 33:05Speaker 3: were going against a good defense too. I mean there's
- 33:08Speaker 3: part of it. You got a tippy cap. Yeah, I
- 33:10Speaker 3: meant you gotta tippyr cap. There was you have a
- 33:13Speaker 3: couple guys that were dinged up. There's all kinds of excuses,
- 33:17Speaker 3: and I don't want to give them because I don't
- 33:19Speaker 3: think that he necessarily would give him. He would just
- 33:21Speaker 3: say I got to be better, period. I can't make
- 33:24Speaker 3: those throws like I haven't been all season. So no,
- 33:28Speaker 3: I to me, I think that this is a get
- 33:30Speaker 3: right game. This is a and you're not like, well,
- 33:33Speaker 3: hopefully he only has to throw it ten times because
- 33:35Speaker 3: that'll minimize his mistakes. Well, yeah, hopefully you get the
- 33:38Speaker 3: run game going, and I think you can against this defense.
- 33:41Speaker 3: They're not very good, but so you're not sitting there
- 33:44Speaker 3: thinking you have to sling it around. But at the
- 33:46Speaker 3: same time, you kind of want to get that monkey
- 33:49Speaker 3: off his back a little bit. You want him to
- 33:51Speaker 3: feel free to go out there and rip it and
- 33:54Speaker 3: and the windows aren't going to be quite as tight.
- 33:56Speaker 3: Hopefully it's not a last second game where you have
- 33:59Speaker 3: to make this throw. It's just kind of you start
- 34:02Speaker 3: the game, you say, hey, we're gonna do this. We're
- 34:03Speaker 3: gonna be balanced, we're gonna go out there. We want
- 34:05Speaker 3: you to keep playing the way you have been the
- 34:07Speaker 3: entire season and not feel like you have to.
- 34:09Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Succumb to the critics that think, oh man, maybe you
- 34:13Speaker 3: aren't capable of it.
- 34:14Speaker 1: There's nothing he can do.
- 34:15Speaker 3: He can go out there and go sixteen for sixteen,
- 34:18Speaker 3: perfect game, and there's still going to be people that say, well,
- 34:21Speaker 3: when it's a.
- 34:22Speaker 1: Big game, I don't trust him.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Yeah, so who cares? Just go do you? The team
- 34:26Speaker 3: believes in him. I mean right after the game, everybody
- 34:29Speaker 3: from coaches down to teammates, that's our dude. We're not
- 34:31Speaker 3: worried about it, and I don't think he should be
- 34:33Speaker 3: worried about it.
- 34:34Speaker 2: I mean that was the positive thing too coming out
- 34:36Speaker 2: of the Rams game, is that he wasn't afraid, even
- 34:38Speaker 2: at the end of the game to keep throwing the ball.
- 34:40Speaker 1: So I love that.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 34:41Speaker 1: Actually, I mean I hated they through the interception, but yeah, yeah,
- 34:44Speaker 1: he kept going. So I don't think he's going to
- 34:46Speaker 1: be any different this week. I have faith, right, if.
- 34:49Speaker 2: I'm the coach, if I'm Mike McDonald, if i'm the
- 34:51Speaker 2: coaching staff, there's not any mention about an interception problem
- 34:55Speaker 2: in my hallways, in my meeting rooms, there's no Sam.
- 35:00Speaker 1: Come on now, I mean turnovers, I've been part of
- 35:03Speaker 1: the game.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Yeah, we all understand that Sam. No one understands that
- 35:07Speaker 2: more than Sam Donald. He's a bright guy. I don't
- 35:10Speaker 2: want him changing the way he's played this season. My
- 35:14Speaker 2: message is, I'm coming out of the tunnel. I'm Mike McDonald.
- 35:17Speaker 2: I'm going to stand right next to Sam m Sam
- 35:20Speaker 2: Donald and the tunnel coming out in Nashville at ten
- 35:23Speaker 2: oh one, or whenever on Sunday morning, and the last
- 35:27Speaker 2: thing he's going to hear out of my lips is
- 35:29Speaker 2: let her rip.
- 35:31Speaker 1: That's what I want to tell them.
- 35:32Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're not if you're not encouraging him as
- 35:35Speaker 3: a coach, whether it's Clint, whether it's Mike McDonald, whether
- 35:39Speaker 3: it's his teammates, you're doing yourself a disservice as an organization,
- 35:43Speaker 3: as a team. He has done a great job of
- 35:45Speaker 3: leading this team to where they were talked about as
- 35:49Speaker 3: the best team in the NFL of like eight days ago.
- 35:52Speaker 1: I'm not going to risk nine straight terrific performances because
- 35:56Speaker 1: he had a stinker on Sunday against a great defense. Yes,
- 36:00Speaker 1: I mean he's not going to do it all right.
- 36:02Speaker 2: We'll tackle that and other topics in our next segment.
- 36:05Speaker 2: It's Friday, it's eight o'clock. It is time for the
- 36:08Speaker 2: Oat Show on Chuck and Box Sports Radio ninety three
