Chuck in the Morning 9/10 H2: 12th Man News with Gregg Bell, the ball's in Drew's hands now and MacDonald praises his defense. · Chuck in the Morning

0:10
Speaker 1: Quick look was closed.
0:11
Speaker 2: Throwing it up to the end zone.
0:14
Speaker 1: Did he get the feet down?
0:19
Speaker 3: Jobe.
0:19
Speaker 4: Yes. A pick.
0:21
Speaker 1: A terrible decision.
0:22
Speaker 4: Josh Jobe.
0:30
Speaker 1: Oh, Mike Tirico on the call last night.
0:32
Speaker 3: NBC.
0:33
Speaker 1: That's right. National game. You put the Super Bowl champs.
0:38
Speaker 1: On the big national stage.
0:39
Speaker 3: Is what you do.
0:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do. Yeah, to start the season. Then look
0:43
Speaker 1: what happens. Look what happens.
0:44
Speaker 4: We play sloppy football and find a way to win.
0:46
Speaker 1: That's what champs do. So champion-like. So champion-like. We don't
0:53
Speaker 1: even mean to be champion-like.
0:56
Speaker 4: It just happens. We're just out there like, oh, is
1:01
Speaker 4: that what champions do? We're just out there playing football, man.
1:04
Speaker 1: We just stumble into being champion-like. Whoopsie doodle.
1:07
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:08
Speaker 1: Poor Patriots fans. They were champion like once upon a
1:13
Speaker 1: time years ago.
1:15
Speaker 4: Yeah. They had some guy that was a pretty good quarterback.
1:19
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:19
Speaker 1: I remember his name doesn't ring a bell right now,
1:21
Speaker 1: but whatever happened to him.
1:23
Speaker 3: Great.
1:23
Speaker 1: Never see him anymore.
1:25
Speaker 3: No, never.
1:25
Speaker 1: Never around anymore. Probably got fat and ugly. I think
1:28
Speaker 1: he works for Pizza Hut. Is that what happened? I
1:30
Speaker 1: think he works for Pizza Hut. I didn't even think
1:32
Speaker 1: he ate pizza.
1:33
Speaker 4: I think he's a delivery guy for Pizza Hut, if
1:35
Speaker 4: I recall.
1:36
Speaker 1: That seems like a drop-off.
1:38
Speaker 4: A little bit.
1:39
Speaker 1: Yeah. No offense to Pizza Hut delivery guys. You're awesome.
1:42
Speaker 4: No, but when you are a Super Bowl winning quarterback,
1:48
Speaker 4: it's a jump down.
1:49
Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
1:50
Speaker 1: I bet you as a pizza delivery guy, though, he's
1:53
Speaker 1: got the biggest chip on his shoulder of any pizza
1:56
Speaker 1: delivery guy. I bet you when people slight him about
1:59
Speaker 1: his time that it takes him, he takes it personally,
2:03
Speaker 1: and he proves them wrong the next time. That's what
2:05
Speaker 1: I'm betting. Great morning to you all. It is our
2:08
Speaker 1: 7 o'clock hour here on a Thursday. That's right. Thursday,
2:12
Speaker 1: we're recapping an NFL football game, a real one, like
2:16
Speaker 1: a regular season game. It happened on a Wednesday night,
2:19
Speaker 1: and it was glorious. The experience, certainly. Once again, the
2:24
Speaker 1: National Football League puts on a great show. Once again,
2:27
Speaker 1: Seattle puts on a great show. You people know how
2:30
Speaker 1: to step up for a major event. I'll tell you that.
2:34
Speaker 1: The Seahawks organization put on a great show last night.
2:37
Speaker 1: And even though we didn't watch the cleanest up-and-down football
2:43
Speaker 1: game you've ever seen in your entire life, it kind
2:46
Speaker 1: of goes hand-in-hand with the start of a football season
2:49
Speaker 1: these days, college or pro. I spent some time talking
2:52
Speaker 1: about this leading up to the game last night. College football,
2:56
Speaker 1: I think every victorious coach over the weekend said, hey,
3:00
Speaker 1: we got a lot to clean up. That was the
3:01
Speaker 1: first thing that came out of their mouths after winning
3:04
Speaker 1: their first game of the season. And then they said,
3:06
Speaker 1: but credit to those guys in that locker room because
3:09
Speaker 1: they came together and they pulled off the win. And
3:12
Speaker 1: I don't know if Mike McDonald necessarily put it in
3:14
Speaker 1: that order, but he said the same thing last night.
3:17
Speaker 1: And that's just modern-day football right now. Just the first
3:21
Speaker 1: couple of games... Takes a little longer, I think, maybe
3:24
Speaker 1: to get into rhythm than maybe it once did when
3:27
Speaker 1: guys played more in the preseason. I forecasted it for you.
3:30
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be sloppy. I thought
3:32
Speaker 1: it was going to be low scoring. That was the case.
3:35
Speaker 1: But like champions, the champs found a way to pull
3:38
Speaker 1: it out in the end, picking off Drake May three
3:41
Speaker 1: times en route to.
3:42
Speaker 3: A 13-10 win.
3:44
Speaker 1: And, of course, that is our top story in our
3:46
Speaker 1: Frostbrood Coors Light headlines. Frostbrood Coors Light, cold as the Rockies.
3:54
Speaker 1: But we have some other headlines to get to before
3:56
Speaker 1: Greg Bell joins us with the latest Sam Darnold injury
3:59
Speaker 1: information here in two minutes. 49ers Rams play tonight in Australia.
4:04
Speaker 1: Second game of the National Football League season. National stage
4:07
Speaker 1: to themselves tonight. They'll be playing it in Australia, and
4:11
Speaker 1: it should be a fantastic matchup. Nick Bosa and George
4:15
Speaker 1: Kittle have been cleared to play, so they will participate
4:18
Speaker 1: in this game tonight. Aaron Donald will not for the
4:22
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. Kickoff there is at 5.30. College football,
4:26
Speaker 1: Huskies taking on Utah State Saturday. Cougs will be in Manhattan,
4:30
Speaker 1: Kansas to take on the Wildcats. And Ohio State and
4:33
Speaker 1: Texas play this Saturday as the first monster game of
4:37
Speaker 1: the brand-new college football season. Mariners did win last night,
4:41
Speaker 1: or yesterday afternoon, I should say, played their part in
4:45
Speaker 1: the Seattle doubleheader. We got two wins yesterday, Mariners 3,
4:49
Speaker 1: Rangers 2, and the Astros did lose last night. So
4:53
Speaker 1: you did gain a game. Of course, you only have
4:55
Speaker 1: 16 to play, and you're still six games out in
4:59
Speaker 1: the American League West. There are only five Major League
5:02
Speaker 1: Baseball games on the entire schedule today, and not really any.
5:08
Speaker 1: They're going head-to-head for a little while, but obviously there's
5:11
Speaker 1: a tip of the cap that Major League Baseball has.
5:14
Speaker 1: gives to the National Football League. We don't have a chance.
5:17
Speaker 1: We don't have a chance if you're going to put
5:19
Speaker 1: a big football game on tonight. So they don't try
5:22
Speaker 1: to schedule against it. They've learned their lesson. But the
5:26
Speaker 1: Mariners and Rangers will play for the second straight day.
5:29
Speaker 1: Another day game today. You never see that midweek, but
5:33
Speaker 1: you're going to see it today. Jacob deGrom for the Rangers,
5:35
Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert for the Mariners, the Stetson pair will match
5:39
Speaker 1: up for the third different time. This season, first pitch
5:43
Speaker 1: is at 110. All right, those are your headlines. Let's
5:46
Speaker 1: now talk.
5:47
Speaker 3: To Greg Bell.
5:49
Speaker 5: As part of our continuing NFL coverage for the 12th man,
5:53

6:13
Speaker 3: Morning, Greg. Good morning.
6:16
Speaker 1: All right. Well, what did you think of opening night?
6:19
Speaker 1: What's your big takeaway from opening night? And don't say
6:21
Speaker 1: the injury. We'll get into that in a moment.
6:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot happened.
6:26
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, the defense is going to put
6:33
Speaker 2: them in games to win the same situation throughout the season.
6:37
Speaker 2: Even when they lose their starting quarterback, their defense is
6:40
Speaker 2: good enough to win. And it's hard to do that
6:42
Speaker 2: in the NFL. But I really, as I was watching
6:45
Speaker 2: the game in the fourth quarter, I was really thinking,
6:49
Speaker 2: you know what, they probably won this game last training
6:52
Speaker 2: camp in the summer of 2025 because that's when they
6:56
Speaker 2: really cemented this belief among each other and this trust
7:01
Speaker 2: among each other and the walk and talks and the
7:03
Speaker 2: what is your why and tell me about your family.
7:06
Speaker 2: And that started in earnest last summer, 2025, and It
7:12
Speaker 2: got them to believe and do each other and be
7:14
Speaker 2: really close and bonded.
7:16
Speaker 3: And we talked about how.
7:16
Speaker 2: That's the reason they won the Super Bowl. The players
7:19
Speaker 2: and coaches swear to that's the.
7:20
Speaker 3: Reason they won it all last year.
7:22
Speaker 2: And that's the reason they won last night. Even as
7:25
Speaker 2: bad as it was with the backup quarterback having to
7:28
Speaker 2: play 58 minutes of the game or 57 minutes of
7:32
Speaker 2: the game, even with going nowhere and getting shut out
7:37
Speaker 2: in the third quarter and the mistakes they made and
7:39
Speaker 2: they handed the Patriots their 10 points with just really
7:44
Speaker 2: bad mistakes. They had a belief they were going to
7:47
Speaker 2: win the game. And Cooper Cupp talked about that. He said,
7:49
Speaker 2: you know, I've been in the league now 12, 11 years.
7:53
Speaker 2: Teams at the end of games either think they're going
7:55
Speaker 2: to lose or they think they're going to win. There's
7:59
Speaker 2: many teams around the league, and he didn't name names,
8:01
Speaker 2: but he said, you know teams that just can't win
8:05
Speaker 2: those games and perpetually lose. And other teams just expect it.
8:09
Speaker 2: They expect they're going to win the game. And he
8:11
Speaker 2: said last night, we expected we'd win. We'd find a
8:14
Speaker 2: way to win. And that expectation, he said, is the
8:17
Speaker 2: reason they won last night. And that belief, that expectation,
8:21
Speaker 2: that goes all the way down to that fourth and
8:23
Speaker 2: one call. I thought the most interesting play, given all
8:26
Speaker 2: the context last night, was 11 minutes left, 12 minutes left,
8:31
Speaker 2: fourth and one, at the plus 45, the Patriots' 45-yard line.
8:36
Speaker 1: And they didn't barner it.
8:38
Speaker 3: Exactly. Exactly.
8:40
Speaker 2: You knew where I was going. The new offensive coordinator
8:43
Speaker 2: didn't bring in Barner for the barnyard push-push play. Brian
8:49
Speaker 2: Fleury had done that earlier in the game. That's when
8:51
Speaker 2: they had this really mysterious offensive offside call. And then
8:56
Speaker 2: they ended up having to punt when they got pushed
8:58
Speaker 2: back to fourth and sixth. And Drew Locke said he
9:01
Speaker 2: was surprised when the play call came in.
9:03
Speaker 3: He was like, okay. Okay.
9:07
Speaker 2: He said it was like a pat in the ass
9:11
Speaker 2: that my new offensive coordinator was telling me, we're going
9:14
Speaker 2: to have you throw for this on fourth down, down
9:16
Speaker 2: 10-3 with 12 minutes left. And then, of course, he
9:20
Speaker 2: throws it. Jackson Smith and Jacob was his third read,
9:23
Speaker 2: Locke said. Scans the field, and the NFL Offensive Player
9:26
Speaker 2: of the Year and All-Pro Wide Receiver is by himself
9:29
Speaker 2: in a gap in the Patriots' zone defense, just turns
9:34
Speaker 2: his route into a little hitch route. and Locke hits him,
9:37
Speaker 2: and he turns about a 5-10 yard pass into a
9:39
Speaker 2: 45-yard touchdown by outrunning four Patriots, and now it's 10-10,
9:44
Speaker 2: and here they go. The belief, and the momentum, and
9:47
Speaker 2: the crowd, and yeah, belief is why they won the game,
9:50
Speaker 2: and it was even Brian Furry believing in his backup
9:53
Speaker 2: quarterback on fourth and one.
9:55
Speaker 1: Drew Locke, to step into that situation, I mean, can
9:59
Speaker 1: you put in perspective how difficult that would be for
10:03
Speaker 1: him and how much it was appreciated in the locker
10:07
Speaker 1: room last night?
10:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's a reason why when teams lose
10:10
Speaker 2: their starting quarterback, they lose games and seasons, right? How
10:14
Speaker 2: many times have we seen, well, they were a good team,
10:16
Speaker 2: but then their quarterback got hurt. Locke has now done this.
10:20
Speaker 2: Last night was the first time he's had meaningful snaps
10:25
Speaker 2: for the Seahawks since the end of the 2023 season.
10:27
Speaker 2: Remember the Monday night against Philadelphia when Geno Smith was hurt?
10:31
Speaker 2: The Eagles were the defending Super Bowl champions, and Locke
10:35
Speaker 2: just came in and won the game and played the
10:37
Speaker 2: entire game and wins it on a two-minute drill at
10:39
Speaker 2: the end of the game. And now he does this
10:42
Speaker 2: last night. He went to the Giants in between there
10:46
Speaker 2: and got to start when Daniel Jones was hurt in
10:48
Speaker 2: 2024 and it didn't go well. But for the Seahawks,
10:52
Speaker 2: I mean, Duloc's entire career, I mean, he lost his
10:56
Speaker 2: job after his first two seasons at Denver. He's had
10:59
Speaker 2: six years of being a backup quarterback. But for the Seahawks,
11:04
Speaker 2: he's been wondrous in those spots. And I asked him
11:07
Speaker 2: last night, you don't get any reps. The starting quarterback
11:10
Speaker 2: gets all the reps in the NFL in game week.
11:12
Speaker 2: He does scout team. I said, how do you stay
11:15
Speaker 2: prepared and sharp and always ready for the game plan
11:18
Speaker 2: when you don't get to run any of the plays?
11:21
Speaker 2: And he told me he has a whiteboard. I wrote
11:23
Speaker 2: a story in the News Tribune published this morning. He
11:25
Speaker 2: has a whiteboard that he keeps next to his bed
11:28
Speaker 2: at home. And he says he draws the plays. I said,
11:32
Speaker 2: literally draw? And he goes, yeah, I literally draw the
11:34
Speaker 2: plays on a whiteboard I keep next to my bed.
11:36
Speaker 2: And he draws every single play Erases it, draws the
11:41
Speaker 2: next play. Every single play in the game plan he
11:44
Speaker 2: sketches out to get it cemented into his head because
11:47
Speaker 2: he doesn't get to run them on the field, so
11:49
Speaker 2: he's got to run them through his mind. And he
11:51
Speaker 2: writes them down and erases them and writes on the
11:53
Speaker 2: next one. He said his wife at three and a
11:55
Speaker 2: half years, Melanie, she understands now, okay, this is what
11:59
Speaker 2: he does when it's time for bed. So he just turns,
12:02
Speaker 2: kisses her, says I love you, and she rolls over
12:04
Speaker 2: and goes to sleep and he stays up for another
12:06
Speaker 2: hour drawing plays on the whiteboard. And then he comes
12:09
Speaker 2: home every day, and they have two children, two and
12:12
Speaker 2: a half years younger. He comes home every day, and
12:15
Speaker 2: their two and a half year old has written all
12:16
Speaker 2: over the dry erase board, the whiteboard, because the wife
12:21
Speaker 2: has entertained the kid all day while he's been at work.
12:23
Speaker 2: So he has to erase the son's doodling, and he
12:27
Speaker 2: smiles and says, this is why I do it, and
12:29
Speaker 2: does his plays again.
12:31
Speaker 3: Every night and every morning.
12:32
Speaker 2: He says, through the entire season, he does every play
12:35
Speaker 2: on the whiteboard every night and every morning.
12:38
Speaker 3: It paid off last night.
12:39
Speaker 1: It paid off last night. Did just enough. He was
12:42
Speaker 1: really good. He was really good under the circumstances. He
12:44
Speaker 1: was great last night. And I'm thinking yet about Brian
12:49
Speaker 1: Flory because here you go. This is your first opportunity
12:52
Speaker 1: to call plays and be a part of a world champ.
12:54
Speaker 1: And there's some pressure involved with that. I mean, you
12:56
Speaker 1: could get blamed if it doesn't go the way. And
12:58
Speaker 1: he only put 13 points on the board. And there's
13:01
Speaker 1: a lot to wonder about tonight. you know, why this
13:03
Speaker 1: guy wasn't used more, why that guy wasn't used more.
13:06
Speaker 1: But man, it's like he got catfished. I mean, he
13:08
Speaker 1: was getting ready for a blind date and he was
13:10
Speaker 1: so excited about it. And whoever showed up at the
13:14
Speaker 1: door wasn't who they said that they were. And he
13:18
Speaker 1: had to make changes on the fly. So how much
13:21
Speaker 1: credit do we give to Brian Fleury, despite only putting
13:24
Speaker 1: 13 points on the board last night?
13:28
Speaker 3: You're right.
13:29
Speaker 2: I mean, during the game, I was baffled that they
13:32
Speaker 2: didn't keep giving the ball steadily to Jadaria Price. It's
13:35
Speaker 2: like they still had bubble wrap on him and the
13:37
Speaker 2: regular season had started. The whole reason they preserved him
13:40
Speaker 2: in the preseason was so he would play in the
13:43
Speaker 2: regular season and he'd get the ball and run for
13:45
Speaker 2: 13 yards, and that's the last time he touched the.
13:47
Speaker 3: Ball on the drive.
13:48
Speaker 2: He'd run for 12 yards the last time he touched
13:50
Speaker 2: the ball on the drive. He runs for eight yards
13:52
Speaker 2: in the next play. They try to throw it on
13:54
Speaker 2: first and ten, and Drew Locke gets sacked and drives ruined.
13:58
Speaker 2: And I was just watching it going, give Price the
14:00
Speaker 2: ball like three or four times in a row and
14:02
Speaker 2: see where you go. And Price was just such a
14:07
Speaker 2: fits and spurts guy last night.
14:09
Speaker 3: I talked to him after the game about that.
14:11
Speaker 2: He goes, yeah, that was tough to get into a rhythm,
14:14
Speaker 2: but I think the entire offense was that way because
14:16
Speaker 2: we kept having penalties. and every time we'd go forward,
14:19
Speaker 2: we'd go back, and we were just sputtering as an
14:22
Speaker 2: entire offense. And then I realized, like, three, four, through
14:26
Speaker 2: the game, like you said, Brian Fleury was dealt an
14:29
Speaker 2: entire set of cards that he wasn't prepared for. It's
14:32
Speaker 2: like he had to turn in his entire hand and
14:33
Speaker 2: got dealt a whole new set of cards. And he
14:37
Speaker 2: didn't prepare for any of that. His game plan went
14:39
Speaker 2: out the window in the fifth play of the.
14:41
Speaker 3: Game when Sam Darnold left.
14:43
Speaker 2: And so he was improvising on the fly for having
14:46
Speaker 2: never done it before. with a quarterback who had never
14:49
Speaker 2: run any of the plays all week. And, in fact,
14:52
Speaker 2: the fourth-and-one play that we talked about earlier, it wasn't
14:55
Speaker 2: even in the game plan. They never ran that play
14:59
Speaker 2: in practice for this game. It's one of those deep
15:03
Speaker 2: installs from May and June minicamp plays. And that's how
15:09
Speaker 2: Lox was, okay, I didn't draw this on my whiteboard,
15:11
Speaker 2: but all right, let's try this play.
15:13
Speaker 3: And that was.
15:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I bet Brian Fleury said, these aren't
15:20
Speaker 2: the conditions I was scheduled to do. We won the game,
15:23
Speaker 2: so okay, let's go from here. But he has some
15:25
Speaker 2: improvement to do, and number one to me is to
15:28
Speaker 2: give the ball steadily to your first-round draft pick instead
15:30
Speaker 2: of parking them in the garage most of the game.
15:33
Speaker 1: Greg Bell is with us. Our Seahawks insider as we
15:35
Speaker 1: talk about the first game of the year, 13-10, White
15:38
Speaker 1: Knuckler against the New England Patriots last night to start
15:42
Speaker 1: the season at 1-0. Certainly, we want to save time
15:46
Speaker 1: for Sam here at the back end of our conversation
15:49
Speaker 1: here today. But let me stay on the game for
15:52
Speaker 1: at least one more question. I want to talk about
15:54
Speaker 1: the secondary, which obviously is banged up right now and
15:59
Speaker 1: had to play some parts that maybe you didn't want
16:02
Speaker 1: to play a couple of weeks ago. But it wasn't
16:05
Speaker 1: just the Josh Jobe interception. He made an amazing tackle
16:09
Speaker 1: late in that contest on a run play. I thought
16:12
Speaker 1: Rodney Thomas was really good last night. I mean, Coach
16:16
Speaker 1: brought up Nehemiah Pritchett and his opening statements, how great
16:20
Speaker 1: a game that he played last night. And then Julian
16:22
Speaker 1: Love might have played the best game of any Seahawk
16:24
Speaker 1: last night in the game. So how do you feel
16:29
Speaker 1: the secondary stepped up and performed under the circumstances last night?
16:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, they.
16:39
Speaker 6: The guy who gained the most that will last the
16:42
Speaker 6: longest last night on defense was Nehemiah Pritchett. Remember, we
16:46
Speaker 6: talked about if they liked what Pritchett was giving them
16:49
Speaker 6: in training camp, they would have never gone down the
16:52
Speaker 6: period on Arnold Rabbit Hole.
16:53
Speaker 3: They would have never signed Trevon Diggs.
16:55
Speaker 2: They would have never had no ignoginy with the starters.
16:58
Speaker 2: They ended up cutting anyway, and he's down with the
17:00
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. They didn't like his tackling, and he tackled
17:04
Speaker 2: in the open field a couple times last night. And
17:07
Speaker 2: that's what they wanted to see most of all, and
17:08
Speaker 2: he did it. And then the play on the ball,
17:11
Speaker 2: Rodney Thomas created the interception, but Pritchett still had to
17:14
Speaker 2: have somewhat of an athletic play and good reaction to
17:17
Speaker 2: change direction on that deflected pass for the interception. But
17:21
Speaker 2: Pritchett gained the most. Pritchett allowed Witherspoon to play inside
17:25
Speaker 2: at nickel, which we said that that's where McDonald wanted
17:28
Speaker 2: him to play. The entire game, I don't know, I
17:31
Speaker 2: didn't track it, But I bet Witherspoon was nickel on
17:34
Speaker 2: damn near 100% of the plays last night. So Pritchett,
17:39
Speaker 2: in being able to hold his own and McDonald trusting him,
17:43
Speaker 2: allowed McDonald to play defense the way he wanted to.
17:45
Speaker 3: Now, I will say this.
17:46
Speaker 2: It was startling how different this game last night was
17:49
Speaker 2: from the Patriots handling the blitzes of Witherspoon out of
17:53
Speaker 2: nickel than it was in the Super Bowl. I mean,
17:55
Speaker 2: they must have sent Witherspoon on at least 10 blitzes
17:59
Speaker 2: from the nickel inside slot. And nine times I think
18:02
Speaker 2: they got.
18:02
Speaker 3: A first down on it.
18:04
Speaker 2: I can only remember once on third down in the
18:06
Speaker 2: first half that Witherspoon affected Ney on a blitz and
18:09
Speaker 2: forced it in completion and they had to punt. I
18:12
Speaker 2: think they were like nine for ten converting when Witherspoon
18:15
Speaker 2: was blitzing. And they just kept quickly throwing it outside
18:21
Speaker 2: where he came from. There's an old adage in the
18:23
Speaker 2: NFL that you throw to where the blitz comes from.
18:25
Speaker 2: And they were throwing to the side that Witherspoon was
18:28
Speaker 2: blitzing from, sometimes from inside the slot area where he
18:30
Speaker 2: was coming from, and it worked. They'd learned from the
18:34
Speaker 2: Super Bowl how to deal with Witherspoon's blitzing, because Witherspoon
18:37
Speaker 2: blitzed way more out of nickel in the Super Bowl
18:39
Speaker 2: last year than he did the entire season. Remember, we
18:41
Speaker 2: talked about it. It was only like a 12% blitzer
18:43
Speaker 2: last year after being 26 as a rookie a couple
18:46
Speaker 2: years ago. Well, last night, it was the most I've
18:50
Speaker 2: seen him blitz in a long time. And for that matter,
18:53
Speaker 2: McDonald blitzed the hell out of May. He had Greg
18:57
Speaker 2: Thomas blitzing. He had Julian Love blitzing. He had Pritchett blitzing.
19:02
Speaker 2: I mean, they were blitzing the hell out of him,
19:04
Speaker 2: and they still didn't affect him.
19:07
Speaker 3: For much of the game.
19:09
Speaker 2: May was 10 of his first 12. He was cruising
19:13
Speaker 2: until he wasn't. In the fourth quarter, Drake May looked
19:17
Speaker 2: like the Super Bowl Drake May. Three interceptions. three sacks,
19:23
Speaker 2: five tackles for losses by the Seahawks in the fourth
19:26
Speaker 2: quarter alone. May had never thrown three interceptions in the game.
19:30
Speaker 2: He threw three in the fourth quarter. I do have
19:32
Speaker 2: to say, since we brought up Drake May, or I did,
19:33
Speaker 2: I heard you guys, you and Hugh talking yesterday about
19:38
Speaker 2: some certain Seahawks observer in town dismisses Drake May. Yeah,
19:43
Speaker 2: I dismiss him again this morning because I don't think he,
19:46
Speaker 2: when the chips are down against the Seahawks, he stinks.
19:49
Speaker 3: I don't know.
19:49
Speaker 2: How he finished second in the MVP voting last year
19:52
Speaker 2: when I've seen him in the Super Bowl and then
19:54
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter last night. That throw to end
19:57
Speaker 2: the game that Joe intercepted was one of the worst
20:00
Speaker 2: throws I've ever seen in the NFL, given time and circumstance.
20:04
Speaker 2: Not just the physical throw, which was terrible, but even
20:07
Speaker 2: the decision to throw. He was running backwards and then
20:11
Speaker 2: chucked it into the end zone, and it wasn't even
20:14
Speaker 2: close to being out of bounds. I mean, that ball
20:16
Speaker 2: should have been in section 180 in the hawk's nest.
20:19
Speaker 1: Yeah.
20:19
Speaker 2: It should have never been near Josh Chubb. That's easy
20:22
Speaker 2: for me to say because I don't have a guy
20:23
Speaker 2: in my face. But given the circumstances, you have a
20:26
Speaker 2: field goal in your pocket descended to overtime with 21
20:29
Speaker 2: seconds left.
20:30
Speaker 3: You even take the sack there against what he did.
20:34
Speaker 2: That was just an egregious mistake.
20:36
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:37
Speaker 2: An NFL quarterback should never even have attempted that pass,
20:41
Speaker 2: and it gave the Seahawks the win. But that was
20:42
Speaker 2: the pressure that everybody put on. I mean, every guy
20:46
Speaker 2: on the team was blitzing May by the end of
20:48
Speaker 2: the game, and it finally showed up in the fourth quarter.
20:50
Speaker 1: All right. In our remaining time, what's going on with Sam?
20:54
Speaker 2: Well, I went to Harborview Medical Center because they don't
20:56
Speaker 2: have a CAT scan machine in the stadium. They have
21:01
Speaker 2: x-ray machines, but not CAT scan. They wanted to see
21:04
Speaker 2: if there was any fracture in the hip area, and
21:06
Speaker 2: McDonald called it. great, and then backtracked a little bit
21:08
Speaker 2: to good news, that there's not a fracture. Now, there'll
21:12
Speaker 2: be an MRI today, probably this morning, that'll determine whether
21:16
Speaker 2: there's any soft tissue issue, labrum, connective tissue.
21:20
Speaker 3: In the hip.
21:22
Speaker 2: They don't know that yet, but they know it's not
21:24
Speaker 2: a fracture, which is what their first concern was. So
21:27
Speaker 2: I stupidly but prematurely asked, and I was just trying
21:31
Speaker 2: to get a gauge for how serious the issue was.
21:34
Speaker 2: I asked them, in 10 days, 11 days, they don't
21:37
Speaker 2: play again until the 20th of September in Arizona. Is
21:40
Speaker 2: there any possibility that he could play? And I thought
21:42
Speaker 2: maybe an answer would give me an indication of how
21:44
Speaker 2: serious it was. I thought maybe McDonald would say, well,
21:47
Speaker 2: he's probably going to miss a couple of weeks, but
21:49
Speaker 2: it's could have been worse. And he said, we don't
21:51
Speaker 2: know yet. It's way too early. Let's see what the
21:53
Speaker 2: tests are today. So there should be more news coming
21:55
Speaker 2: out today about it.
21:56
Speaker 3: But yeah, it, it looked bad.
22:01
Speaker 2: Draymond Jones, of all people, I didn't know Draymond Jones
22:03
Speaker 2: was still in the league, let alone sacking guys. He,
22:06
Speaker 2: he did nothing for the Seahawks at 51 million. He
22:10
Speaker 2: came down and all his body weight came onto the
22:12
Speaker 2: right leg of.
22:14
Speaker 3: Of Darnold.
22:16
Speaker 2: I think most of us saw that. And the way
22:18
Speaker 2: Darnold went to the sidelines from the start, I thought, well,
22:21
Speaker 2: he's not playing the rest of the game.
22:22
Speaker 3: And then he goes into the tent and limps with
22:25
Speaker 3: Cal fan, Dr. Cal fan back in the locker room.
22:27
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm totally spitballing here, but it would not surprise me, especially.
22:34
Speaker 3: How Drew Locke played it.
22:35
Speaker 2: They'd go very conservatively with Darnold next week and even
22:40
Speaker 2: to the third week.
22:40
Speaker 3: We'll see.
22:41
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take that right now. I will sign up
22:44
Speaker 1: for Sam Darnold's back week four. Yeah, let's do that.
22:47
Speaker 2: I think that's, yeah, in the way Locke has performed
22:50
Speaker 2: now twice in a pinch, beating defending Super Bowl champions
22:54
Speaker 2: and winning the Super Bowl arena, I think you're right.
22:56
Speaker 2: They would In the aggregate, they think that would be
22:58
Speaker 2: the best.
22:59
Speaker 3: Well, maybe not the best case, but not too bad.
23:01
Speaker 1: Well, there is no chance in 20 minutes we were
23:03
Speaker 1: going to cover everything we could have covered here from
23:06
Speaker 1: this evening, last night, the game itself. But I think
23:09
Speaker 1: we did a pretty good job. So thank you, sir.
23:11
Speaker 1: And we'll be listening at 10 o'clock. And you do
23:14
Speaker 1: your best in two hours to cover everything that happened
23:16
Speaker 1: last night.
23:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will try to do that for sure.
23:19
Speaker 2: The Kozlis were in the locker room last night.
23:21
Speaker 3: They got the game balls. And.
23:24
Speaker 2: Neil Kozla on Twitter, if no one's following it, said,
23:27
Speaker 2: what a game, what a city, what a fan base,
23:29
Speaker 2: what a day. I talked at length with him after
23:33
Speaker 2: the press conference yesterday. He's a very engaging, interesting, vibrant guy,
23:37
Speaker 2: only 33 years old, and he's the point man. He's
23:39
Speaker 2: the detail guy that John Schneider and Mike McDonald will
23:42
Speaker 2: be talking to the most.
23:43
Speaker 1: All right, man.
23:43
Speaker 3: Have a good Thursday.
23:44
Speaker 1: All right, you too. Thank you. Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider.
23:47
Speaker 1: Of course, a lot more. He's got a lot more
23:50
Speaker 1: for you at thenewstribune.com that we couldn't get to. I mean,
23:52
Speaker 1: there's so many things to discuss from that game last night.
23:56
Speaker 1: We haven't even brought up the Cooper Cup catch last night,
23:58
Speaker 1: which was unbelievable. The throw was great, too, but the
24:02
Speaker 1: catch was just exquisite. I don't even know how he
24:06
Speaker 1: pulled it off. So we're going to talk to Hugh
24:08
Speaker 1: about that, certainly, between 8 and 9.20 today. on Monday morning, quarterback.
24:13
Speaker 1: But I do want to, in our next segment, we've
24:15
Speaker 1: got Factor Fiction. I've got to stay on this. I
24:19
Speaker 1: want to talk about Sam and Drew Locke and the
24:21
Speaker 1: potential for Drew to be playing for this team for
24:24
Speaker 1: a few more weeks going forward. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. Man,
24:44
Speaker 1: was that a beautiful play. Beautiful play. Not a good call.
24:46
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
24:47
Speaker 1: That was like Barry Sanders-like. That was like... How did
24:53
Speaker 1: he slip through there? How did he... Now, he was
24:56
Speaker 1: being chased by 91. So it's not like he was
25:00
Speaker 1: being chased. JSN's not known for his outright foot speed.
25:07
Speaker 1: But he pressed that turbo button. He certainly pulled away
25:10
Speaker 1: from that guy. But the way that... You ever see
25:13
Speaker 1: those videos of like, uh, um, those snakes that are
25:17
Speaker 1: chasing the, you know, the rabbit and they, and they,
25:21
Speaker 1: they just somehow just like escape and get through all
25:26
Speaker 1: of those snakes that are chasing them. That's what it
25:28
Speaker 1: was like. And he just like slithered through, uh, the
25:32
Speaker 1: entire Patriots secondary. This is a great play call. Um,
25:36
Speaker 1: and a great I mean, it's just a great receiver
25:39
Speaker 1: doing great things out on the football field.
25:40
Speaker 3: That was beautiful.
25:41
Speaker 4: Yes, great play call, great execution. Not a great call
25:45
Speaker 4: of the play. I mean, again, it is on TV,
25:48
Speaker 4: but you have no clue what's happening if you just
25:51
Speaker 4: hear that.
25:51
Speaker 1: That's true. Mike Tirico on the call. Maybe Chris talked
25:56
Speaker 1: far too into the pre-snap. Probably. But JSN with eight catches,
26:02
Speaker 1: 122 yards left. on a night where he only scored
26:05
Speaker 1: 13 points the guy's just amazing and Drew Locke was
26:08
Speaker 1: great last night we'll have time to talk about this
26:11
Speaker 1: I'm sure throughout the course of the week I certainly
26:13
Speaker 1: want to get Hugh's thoughts on it I got to
26:15
Speaker 1: do fact or fiction in a minute so I'm not
26:17
Speaker 1: going to be able to get too much into it
26:19
Speaker 1: but I appreciate that there are a lot of people
26:23
Speaker 1: on the text line that have a lot of faith
26:25
Speaker 1: in Drew Locke and that this isn't a big loss
26:28
Speaker 1: if Sam's going to miss some time I think it's
26:30
Speaker 1: a big loss. I picked the Seahawks to go 15-2 yesterday.
26:37
Speaker 1: I got three homers that were on a roundtable with me,
26:39
Speaker 1: and they thought I was crazy for picking the Seahawks
26:43
Speaker 1: to go 15-2. But that was with Sam Darnold. I
26:46
Speaker 1: think Drew Lock can, with this defense, you're going to
26:50
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But you need Sam Darnold to win
26:52
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl.
26:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of people just– it's still
26:55
Speaker 4: that don't want to give Sam enough credit. Yes, Drew
26:57
Speaker 4: is a viable backup. He's a good backup. He can–
26:59
Speaker 4: I'm not– it's not like, oh, God, season's over. We're
27:02
Speaker 4: never going to win a game. Right.
27:04
Speaker 1: You've got to give Sam credit. He is a better quarterback.
27:07
Speaker 1: We need Sam.
27:08
Speaker 3: Yeah.
27:08
Speaker 1: Let's play Fact or Fiction. We're set to go. Glad
27:10
Speaker 1: you're with us.
27:11
Speaker 5: It's your shot at our weekly $ 1, 000 and the $ 10, 000
27:16
Speaker 5: grand prize.
27:17
Speaker 1: It's Fact or Fiction.
27:19
Speaker 5: Proudly presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel, where every
27:23
Speaker 5: day feels lucky. Fact or Fiction is on. Sports Radio 93.3.
27:27
Speaker 3: KJR FM.
27:27
Speaker 5: Uh-oh.
27:33
Speaker 1: I don't want to mention any names, but there's a
27:38
Speaker 1: radio show on this station that's won Factor Fiction two
27:41
Speaker 1: years in a row.
27:42
Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
27:43
Speaker 1: And is off to a 1-0 start.
27:45
Speaker 5: Uh-oh.
27:48
Speaker 1: And that was, now that's a pick. 23 points on
27:53
Speaker 1: the over-under when the over-under's 40. That's a blowout. That's
27:57
Speaker 1: a Factor Fiction blowout. I offered a blowout.
28:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a mistake on one of the betting
28:03
Speaker 4: sites that put the over-under at 4.5, and you almost
28:06
Speaker 4: could have gone under that.
28:09
Speaker 1: That would have been bold. No, this one's going under 4.5.
28:13
Speaker 1: Under 4.5.
28:13
Speaker 3: 3-0.
28:13
Speaker 1: That's the final score.
28:14
Speaker 3: I mean.
28:18
Speaker 1: Wasn't too far off. There's going to be a 2-2 tie.
28:22
Speaker 1: That's right. That's my prediction. That's right. All right, so
28:25
Speaker 1: we're off to a 1-0 start on the season with
28:28
Speaker 1: our pick yesterday. And so feeling good. It's Ashley's pick today.
28:33
Speaker 1: Time to play some Fact or Fiction. What you got
28:35
Speaker 1: back there?
28:36
Speaker 4: I am going to go to the NFL. And I mean,
28:38
Speaker 4: especially you've talked about it a lot. Softie talked about
28:41
Speaker 4: it a lot. This first week is going to be sloppy,
28:44
Speaker 4: but there are some teams that aren't very good, and
28:47
Speaker 4: then there are.
28:47
Speaker 1: Some teams that I think are just going to be
28:49
Speaker 1: flat-out bad.
28:50
Speaker 4: I think Atlanta is going to be flat-out bad.
28:52
Speaker 1: Do you?
28:52
Speaker 4: And they are three-point underdogs at Pittsburgh. Give me Pittsburgh
28:59
Speaker 4: minus the three versus the Falcons.
29:01
Speaker 3: All right.
29:02
Speaker 1: That means the Steelers have to win by four points
29:04
Speaker 1: or more in order for Ashley to be right. And
29:07
Speaker 1: now we kick into game mode. This is how it works,
29:10
Speaker 1: in case you're just joining us. You're going to text
29:13
Speaker 1: fact if you agree with that pick. You're going to
29:16
Speaker 1: text fiction if you disagree with it. You are the

Speaker 1: only thing that matters. You, the listener, you're the only contestants.

Speaker 5: No.
29:33
Speaker 1: Oh. I shouldn't tell you I did then, right? Oh, geez, man.

Speaker 1: always hear from Mike on the mic. I know we've
31:20
Speaker 1: already heard some audio. from Mike McDonald, but that had
31:23
Speaker 1: to do with Sam Darnold and the injury evaluation immediately
31:27
Speaker 1: after the game. We'll hear from him in other areas next.
31:31
Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
31:52
Speaker 7: I want to give our team a lot of credit
31:53
Speaker 7: because things weren't really going our way going into the half,
31:56
Speaker 7: but we didn't panic. We still liked our plan. We
32:00
Speaker 7: didn't need to change what we were doing or anything
32:02
Speaker 7: like that. We wanted to stick to what we were doing.
32:04
Speaker 7: I think the guys were really excited to go back
32:08
Speaker 7: out there and play, which was really a tribute to
32:11
Speaker 7: our leadership, our coaches, our communication as a staff. I
32:17
Speaker 7: was pleased with that process.
32:22
Speaker 1: Oh it's the little things oh my god i still
32:26
Speaker 1: just love every time i hear mike mcdonald talking over
32:30
Speaker 1: mike mcdonald it's the best and you just absolutely nailed
32:34
Speaker 1: it i don't know if you did it on purpose
32:36
Speaker 1: but as soon as he was done with the clip
32:38
Speaker 1: mcdonald comes in boom boom oh my gosh They've got
32:45
Speaker 1: to be two of my favorite people of all time.
32:47
Speaker 7: I think you're right.
32:47
Speaker 3: Oh, man.
32:48
Speaker 1: I think every Mike McDonald is probably awesome. We should
32:51
Speaker 1: gather a few together. Oh, my gosh.
32:52
Speaker 3: A convention?
32:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, a Mike McDonald party. Great morning to you all.
32:57
Speaker 1: We have a 1-0 football team, first place in the
32:59
Speaker 1: entire league. That's right.
33:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
33:02
Speaker 1: Undefeated. 13-10 win last night over the New England Patriots.
33:07
Speaker 1: It wasn't the prettiest football game that you've ever watched,
33:10
Speaker 1: that's for sure. But as we get to Mike on Mike,
33:14
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald last night spoke after the game about a
33:18
Speaker 1: number of things. We've already talked about the quarterback and
33:21
Speaker 1: the Sam injury and the Drew Locke stepping up and
33:24
Speaker 1: all sorts of things from that nature. We've also talked
33:26
Speaker 1: about the secondary, which I thought was spectacular, considering that
33:31
Speaker 1: was the big concern going into the game. I thought
33:34
Speaker 1: a lot of guys stepped up, and so did Coach McDonald.
33:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, Julian played a dynamite game. I think Rodney Thomas
33:41
Speaker 7: deserves a shout-out coming in and playing really sound football,
33:43
Speaker 7: but there's a lot of reps that Ty and Julian
33:46
Speaker 7: have had to build that chemistry about how we want
33:49
Speaker 7: to operate and getting on the same page. So Julian
33:51
Speaker 7: really took a big-time role for our team, one, making
33:54
Speaker 7: the plays, but also making sure that we're in the
33:57
Speaker 7: right stuff and we're all on the same page.
33:58
Speaker 3: So shout-out to Julian as well.
34:01
Speaker 1: I thought Julian Thomas, or excuse me, Julian Love, I
34:03
Speaker 1: combined the two that I was going to talk about.
34:05
Speaker 1: I thought Julian Love was Awesome last night. Yes. I
34:08
Speaker 1: think he was the best player. I think he had
34:10
Speaker 1: the best game of anybody.
34:12
Speaker 3: On the team.
34:12
Speaker 4: He did have a great game. I mean, that's the thing, though,
34:14
Speaker 4: is you were hearing names. I mean, Julian Love is
34:16
Speaker 4: a name you know. Leonard Williams is a name you know.
34:18
Speaker 1: Derek Hall. I mean, those guys all did well.
34:21
Speaker 4: But then you're hearing, you know, Drake Thomas and Rodney
34:23
Speaker 4: Thomas and these other guys that really had to step up.
34:26
Speaker 4: And they did it because they have leaders like Julian
34:29
Speaker 4: Love and Big Cat and Derek Hall and all those guys.
34:32
Speaker 1: Well, it's amazing when you're in the right system and
34:33
Speaker 1: you're around other great players that you– Soak that in.
34:38
Speaker 1: And Rodney Thomas, for somebody that didn't make the original roster,
34:43
Speaker 1: put on the practice squad, obviously an Okada and an
34:47
Speaker 1: Imanwari unavailability. He gets activated. He was good last night.
34:52
Speaker 1: There was a moment, though, where I had to do
34:55
Speaker 1: a double take. because he was wearing 24, and he's
34:57
Speaker 1: Thomas II. And I'm like, what the hell? Is Earl
35:00
Speaker 1: Thomas on the field? What is going on? Because it
35:03
Speaker 1: looked like 29 Thomas III, and it was 24 Thomas II. Yeah,
35:07
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, what? And then I'm like, oh, that's
35:12
Speaker 1: Rodney Thomas. But he had a couple big plays last night.
35:17
Speaker 1: Nehemiah Pritchett, by the way, we didn't play that clip
35:20
Speaker 1: from Coach, but he started his... without being asked a question,
35:26
Speaker 1: he always starts with an opening statement. He brought Pritchett
35:29
Speaker 1: up in the opening statement. He didn't even do that
35:31
Speaker 1: with Julian Love, I don't think. Nope. He didn't do
35:34
Speaker 1: that with Rodney Thomas, but he brought Nehemiah Pritchett up
35:37
Speaker 1: in his opening statement. So obviously he was impressed by
35:40
Speaker 1: him as well. And then, of course, Josh Jobe makes
35:42
Speaker 1: the game-clinching play last night, made a big tackle last
35:47
Speaker 1: night as well, and overcame one of many penalties that
35:52
Speaker 1: the Seahawks committed last night.
35:54
Speaker 7: And we had some penalties that we had to overcome today. But, yeah,
35:57
Speaker 7: that's like it's a play-by-play mindset, you know. And our
36:01
Speaker 7: guys were, you know, we're tired at the end. You know,
36:03
Speaker 7: they're playing really hard. And to find the energy to
36:07
Speaker 7: go get one more play. And, I mean, you know,
36:11
Speaker 7: they're really good at extended plays, you know. And for
36:13
Speaker 7: him to play kind of through the echo of the whistle,
36:14
Speaker 7: like a second half of that play, is just tremendous,
36:17
Speaker 7: you know. And he also realizes, I mean, he's came inches,
36:21
Speaker 7: but that's a hell of a play.
36:23
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald after the game. I wanted to talk. We
36:26
Speaker 1: only have like two minutes here. And then Hugh joins
36:28
Speaker 1: us at 8 o'clock. But Ashley was out at Tulalip
36:31
Speaker 1: Resort Casino when all you want is everything. Tulalip Resort Casino.
36:34
Speaker 1: That's right. She had a watch party last night. Thanks
36:36
Speaker 1: to all of those that came out. Sounds like it
36:38
Speaker 1: was a great time. We'll have time to talk more
36:40
Speaker 1: about it a little bit later on in the show.
36:42
Speaker 1: But Ashley and I were both out of our element.
36:45
Speaker 1: I went to the game last night and Ashley hosted
36:47
Speaker 1: a watch party. So we didn't get to watch the
36:49
Speaker 1: Seahawks like we typically watch them or maybe prefer. I
36:53
Speaker 1: will say this. Nobody in my section liked the job
36:57
Speaker 1: the officials were doing.
36:58
Speaker 6: Yeah.
37:00
Speaker 4: Not surprising.
37:01
Speaker 1: But when you're in the stands, you don't get the
37:03
Speaker 1: chance to replay and hear the announcer's commentary or anything else.
37:07
Speaker 1: I'm just getting 12's commentary around me.
37:10
Speaker 3: Yes.
37:11
Speaker 1: It looked bad. It looked like the officials were not
37:14
Speaker 1: having a great night. Is that how you saw it
37:16
Speaker 1: as well? I mean, it was.
37:18
Speaker 4: There was some anger, that's for sure, and some questions.
37:21
Speaker 4: But I also expect that with any game. Especially in
37:25
Speaker 4: a situation like that where the Patriots, until the second half,
37:28
Speaker 4: had no penalties and were just racking them up. You're like, okay,
37:32
Speaker 4: what's happening here? And I think people especially got irritated
37:35
Speaker 4: on the one attempt at the barnyard. And it was
37:38
Speaker 4: like his fingers... And you're like, okay, you just don't
37:42
Speaker 4: want them to do the play. So just say the
37:44
Speaker 4: play can't happen anymore. Instead of something like one person's
37:48
Speaker 4: fingers were, I don't know.
37:52
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that play alone, I mean, that was
37:54
Speaker 1: a big penalty. Yeah. And then they go off sides.
37:59
Speaker 1: And it did sort of even out in the second half.
38:02
Speaker 1: It did in the second half, for sure. But in
38:04
Speaker 1: the first half, every call was going against the Seahawks. Yes.
38:07
Speaker 1: And so everybody in the section is all riled up
38:10
Speaker 1: about it. And then all of a sudden you think
38:12
Speaker 1: you got a first down and they go offsides, which
38:15
Speaker 1: usually goes against the defense.
38:17
Speaker 3: Right.
38:18
Speaker 1: But yes, you can get an offsides penalty on offense
38:22
Speaker 1: as well. You just don't see it that frequently. So
38:25
Speaker 1: we were sure we were going to get first down,
38:27
Speaker 1: finally get a call.
38:28
Speaker 6: Right.
38:29
Speaker 1: And then it was offsides. Yeah.
38:31
Speaker 3: Offense.
38:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
38:32
Speaker 1: And everyone went, what the F?
38:37
Speaker 4: And then even when they showed the replay, you're like,
38:40
Speaker 4: I still didn't really see it. And then they had
38:42
Speaker 4: to come back from break or whatever. And Tirico and
38:45
Speaker 4: Collinsworth then said, well, we saw the replay again. And
38:48
Speaker 4: you can tell that one person's fingers. It's like, okay,
38:53
Speaker 4: but nobody could see it in the regular replay.
38:56
Speaker 6: I don't know.
38:57
Speaker 1: I was half expecting, you know, the next flag. Roughing
39:00
Speaker 1: the passer on the offense.
39:03
Speaker 2: Yeah.
39:04
Speaker 1: That's 15 yards and a first down for the Patriots.
39:06
Speaker 1: That's right. Yes, I got defensive pass interference on the offense.
39:12
Speaker 1: That'll be a 15 yards automatic first down for the Patriots.
39:17
Speaker 1: Spot foul. Yep, that's right.
39:20
Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
39:21
Speaker 1: All right, we've got a lot to discuss, and we've
39:24
Speaker 1: got just the guy to do it. It is our
39:26
Speaker 1: first regular season Monday morning quarterback. on a Thursday to
39:31
Speaker 1: start the season. Hugh Millen for the next hour and
39:34
Speaker 1: 20 minutes breaking it all down for you. Our QB1
