Chuck in the Morning 9/28 H2: 12th Man News with Gregg Bell, Huskies Lose & Mike on the Mic · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Gosh, that's a lot to do today. Way too much
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to talk about. No chance.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: No chance.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: No chance to get it all done. Just going to
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: have to trust me.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The right time this week, we will have plenty of
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: time to discuss Dan Wilson.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The start of the Kraken season. The Huskies.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Poor performance on Saturday. But we pretty much got to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: kind of designate this stuff out over the course of
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the week because there's no chance to talk about it
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: all at the exact same time.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: That would get confusing. Good morning to you all. 7
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour here on this Monday.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Monday morning quarterback session with Hugh Millen coming your way
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: at 8 o'clock today. We've got Greg Bell coming your
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: way in about three minutes from now. Travis Moger is here.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Anders Hurst is here. My name is Chuck Powell. Great
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to have you with us. Hope you enjoyed that beautiful
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: fall weekend, even though our sports teams disappointed us. at
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: every stinking turn. But let's get to your headlines. They
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: are brought to you by Frost Brewed Coors Light. Cold
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: as the Rockies. We'll start with the Seattle Mariners whose
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: season came to a close yesterday. 7-3 win over the Angels,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: but a 76-86 record was deemed unacceptable. Thus far, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: person that has paid with his job is Dan Wilson.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: The manager was announced yesterday saying, Removed as manager of
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the team before yesterday's game. Had comments after the game
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: yesterday as well. Speaking to that, Jerry DiPoto, Justin Hollander
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: are going to conduct a press conference today.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: One o'clock, right?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: One o'clock this afternoon to discuss what has been a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: horribly disappointing season for the team. Yesterday also featured the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: goodbye of Rick Riz, 41 years as the voice of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: summer here in Seattle. As he called his last game,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: we're still going to see Riz around a lot. And
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I really did enjoy the weekend and the tributes that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: were paid to just a wonderful man in Rick Riz
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and an outstanding broadcaster.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: That's obvious.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: J.P.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Crawford, also a tear-felt removal from the game yesterday.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Probably did play his last game as a Mariner.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Randy Rosarino, an emotional exit from the game as well.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: might have also played his last game as a Mariner.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So a lot to talk about on that front, but
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it probably will have to wait mostly.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: For tomorrow.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: The Sounders won over Minnesota United on Saturday 3-1, so
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: two straight wins. They have not lost since they acquired Dayon,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: even though he hasn't played in a while. The Sounders
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: can make it three wins in a row this Thursday
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: against Sporting KC. College football, the Huskies lost to Minnesota 27-24,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and they were outplayed. throughout the entire game. Huge loss
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for Jed Fish's program there.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: 0-1 in the conference.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: The Gophers came into that game as a 10-point underdog
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and pulled off the victory. Meanwhile, Oregon won 41-27 over USC.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: A game marred by controversy, really. Dante Moore knocked out
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: of the game. Desmond Stevens, the guy that did the knocking,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: celebrated it on the USC sideline.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: He's been suspended.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And Lincoln Riley and Dan Lanning didn't exactly... covered themselves
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: with glory, as Chris Canty always says, after the game
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: was over, kind of made asses of themselves, both of them.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: So hopefully we'll have some time to talk about that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: later on.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: If not today, tomorrow. Rams are 1-2. They were going
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to go undefeated. Maybe they still will. I don't know.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: They can erase two losses, right, by.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: The end of the year? Keep your chin up, Ram fan.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Ha ha ha.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you still can be undefeated even with a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: 1-2 start. They lost to the Broncos. 30-26 was the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: final score. Meanwhile, we don't have anything to brag about
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: this morning because the Seahawks somehow lost to a team
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: they had no business losing to. The Washington Commanders defeated
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the Hawks 33-31 yesterday. First loss for the Hawks this season.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: First loss in 12 games. Joining us to talk about it,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: our Seahawks insider, Greg Bell.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: As part of our continuing NFL coverage for the 12th man.
• 4:28

• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Greg.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Are you still on the East Coast, I trust?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: I'm in Brooklyn, New York. Someday I'll tell you the
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: story of why I'm in Brooklyn, New York this morning.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I will look forward to that story. Unfortunately, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: don't think we have time for a story. There's just
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: way too much to discuss from this game yesterday. I'm
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: sitting here on Monday morning here in Seattle, Washington. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: don't know if you're sitting in Brooklyn, New York as
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: stunned as I am about this result yesterday. I mean,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: As the game progressed, a lot of credit to the commanders,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: but Greg, I just didn't envision a scenario where this
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: team was going to lose this football game, and yet
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they did.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I did. We talked about this last week.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: I did envision this very scenario as the only way
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: they would lose.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So it's not inexplicable.
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: You turn the ball over three times, you bench your
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: lead running back, and.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You're only rushed for 44 yards twice. you're going to lose.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: I mean, this team is not designed for Sam Donald
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: to throw 44, 45 times for 379 yards. They're just not.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: And when they're doing that, they're broken. The game is
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: out of their control. They're not dictating. They're not being
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: physical that Mike McDonald wants them to be on offense.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Their defense is chasing their defense, had to defend a
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: 21 yard field on the fumble by Jadarian price and
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: make no mistake. Mike McDonald bench price after that fumble
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: second fumble in many games. So it all added up
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: to a loss. Most teams in the NFL would have
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: beaten Seahawks yesterday. And the one thing they didn't do
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: during their franchise record 12-game winning streak habitually was turn
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: the ball over.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: And in fact, the last time they lost.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: Back last November in Englewood to the Rams was when
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald, remember, threw four interceptions. And since that time,
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Donald has not turned the ball over. He didn't turn
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: the ball over at all in the playoffs last year,
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: and they won the Super Bowl. So he throws two interceptions.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: One goes off the helmet of a nose tackle. The
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: other one was just a bad throw. Maybe the worst
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: throw in his two seasons as the Seahawks quarterback with
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: a late breaking route of the scramble play. He throws
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: late over the middle to the backup.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Linebacker, picks it off for the pick six that basically
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: clinched the game.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: But one-dimensional offense and turnovers, this team won't win too
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: many games that way, and they didn't yesterday.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's how you lose to the Washington
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Commanders on the road. What we saw yesterday, I just
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: didn't think that all of those things were going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: occur on one day, on a rainy day in D.C., but.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Occur they did.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the Jadarian Price situation. I mean,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: maybe the lesson learned makes him a better running back
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: for the rest of the season. But what were Mike McDonald's?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: What was his explanation for why Jadarian Price was sent
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to the doghouse yesterday?
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: Well, he said it was to calm him down a
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: little bit and to calm it down a little bit,
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: the situation down.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: But he benched him.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: He was in a raincoat in the first quarter and
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: the second quarter. he had only one business.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: So he fumbles with 11 minutes to go in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: first quarter.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: He didn't have another carry until 12 minutes to go
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: in the third quarter. He only had two carries the
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: rest of the game. He only had five carries total.
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: And the first, he had five carries for 15 yards.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: The first run of the game, the first offensive player
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: game for the CRC ran for 11 yards, which means
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: the last four carries, he had four yards and a
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: loss fumble. And he, Honestly, they sacrificed this game for
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: the rest of the season to make Jadarian Price and
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: the offense better.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: They decided by benching Price and not running the ball
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the rest of the game and not running the ball
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: on the.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: Goal line and throwing three times, including on fourth and
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: goal from the one, incompletes. They decided at that point,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: the longer term, bigger play here is to bench Price
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: and send a message to him about ball security than
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: it is to keep him on the field, keep running
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: the ball, and win this game offensively.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: That's really what they did.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: That's that was may not have been the thinking, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: that was the end result because by not playing price
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: and deciding that they didn't trust him near the goal
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: line and that they weren't going to run the ball,
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: they lost the game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: They turned it over three times. They threw 45 and dah, dah, dah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: We'll see in the longterm if that was the right choice.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: It certainly cost them yesterday's game.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: They don't think yesterday's game is.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: Going to cost them the season, of course, but now
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: here are the 49ers three and Oh, coming in here
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: in two weeks, uh, So here we go. The team
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: that never is used to losing lost.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: They know why they lost.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: The defense doesn't feel like there are 33 points. The
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: commander should score 33 points on them. And they did,
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: but they didn't have their starting safety.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Julian love.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: They had Nicky Maury up at the line of scrimmage
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: quite a bit, but not blitzing noticeably. He was a
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: lot in past coverage. He was a lot in the slot.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: I didn't notice him blitzing or pressuring a lot of
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: Marcus Mariota and And so it goes. This team finally lost,
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: and they feel pretty confident that they know that the
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: reason they lost was themselves and the three turnovers.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And so they have a they take solace and confidence
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: in that.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Our Seahawks insider Greg Bell is with us here.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM. And of course, you can
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: follow him at the News Tribune dot com and at
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: G Bell Seattle on X's coverage of yesterday's loss to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders 33 to 31 loss. How much credit
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: needs to be given, was given in the locker room
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: at the pulpit yesterday to Marcus Mariota, who, I mean,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: didn't exactly like the world on fire, but man, did
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: he play a good game. He avoided turnovers, and he
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: just seemed to, he avoided sacks, he avoided pressure, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: kept finding open receivers, which is not easy to do
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: against a Seahawks secondary.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he got.
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: Credit from Mike McDonald, from the Marcus Lawrence and others.
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: I will tell you that when the game was on
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: the line, the 33-year-old quarterback, Mariotta, won the game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Third and nine, two minutes left.
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: Seahawks had just scored the quick touchdown to get back
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: within 33-31. If the Seahawks get a stop there, they
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: get the ball back. Decent field position for a chance
• 10:59
  Speaker 7: for a winning field goal. At that moment, they thought,
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: all of us sitting in the stadium in Landover, Maryland,
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: thought the Seahawks are going to stop them here on
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: third and nine.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: They're going to win the game. Well, Mariotta called... an
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: audible at the line of scrimmage. That was supposed to
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: be a pass.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: That was Drake Thomas blitzing inside, and that was Mike
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: McDonald's play call. They thought it was going to be
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: a pass on third and nine to extend the drive.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Mariota sees Thomas cheating up, and he changes it to
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: a run.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: He runs an outside.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Stretch play to Rashad White around the right end where
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: the edge that Drake Thomas is supposed to set. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: I went straight to Thomas in the locker room after
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: the game and asked him about that play because I
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: saw it through my binoculars. that he overcommitted to the
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: inside blitz.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: He lost the edge. And he looked at me and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: he said, Greg, that's exactly what happened. It's my fault.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I gambled.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: I thought they were going to throw. I need to
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: recognize that they're going to change the play when I
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: show the blitz that much. And I lost the edge.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: He said, that's my edge. I'm the edge of the
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: defense on that play. And I didn't set it. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: ran around my end for 19 yards, game over. Mariota
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: saw that. An experienced quarterback has seen everything. He's seen
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: every blitz and every situation with the game on the line,
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: and he outfoxed Mike McDonald with the blitz call and
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: outfoxed Drake Thomas with the game on the line. That
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: was his most winning play at the moment that actually
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: demanded it. With some quarterbacks, probably the quarterback Jacoby Percet
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: the week before stays in the pass play. They get pressure,
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: he throws it away, and the Seahawks get the ball
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: back with Mariota changed it to a run that killed
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks because Drake Thomas was out of position. He
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: took full Thomas to his credit, kind of under his breath.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: It was a very quiet locker room for a change
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: in Seahawks locker room. But under his breath, he said,
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: that's my responsibility.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I blew it. I need to be better in that moment. Yeah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Whose fault was it when Mariota did the keeper on
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the right side for 10 yards that diminished any opportunity
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to come back late in the game?
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Well, that's DeMarcus Lawrence's edge, too. And Lawrence made the
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: point of talking about that. But to me, the game
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: was over before that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably.
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: And the field position had tilted. And even if they
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: stopped the Mariota there, they're going to get the ball
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: against their own goal line with less than a minute
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: to go. But Lawrence said, we expected the whole game
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: for Mariota to go RPO. And that was the first
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: time he did it. The first time he kept the
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: ball in an RPO play was on the last meaningful
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: snap of the game. So they overcommitted to him not
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: doing that. They took the running back. And he pulls
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: the ball and runs around the edge. And yeah, two
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: savvy plays by a veteran that beat the Seahawks in
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: crunch time.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But Mariota outfucked McDonald.
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: That doesn't happen very often. I asked McDonald about that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: The third and nine audible call to the run by white.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: And he said, yep. Great check by them, meaning great
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: call by Mariota at the line of scrimmage.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Our quarterback, Sam Darnold, makes really his debut for the season.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Throws for a lot of yards.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: We've already discussed the two costly interceptions in the contest.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: But overall, what was the read from Coach McDonald and
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: others on how good Sam looked in their eyes?
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they thought he– They reminded everyone that this was
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: his first game because, remember, he didn't play. None of
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: them played in the preseason, which you could also say
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: isn't helping Jadarian Price right now either.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: These are his first NFL games.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: But, yes, Cooper Cup and others reminding us that this
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: was the first game for Sam Donaldson since the Super Bowl, essentially,
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: and that he shouldn't have to do it all by himself.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: That's basically what the tenor of it was. Again, without
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: a run game, this Seahawks team is so different. It's
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: why Ryan Grubb got fired after one year as the
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: play caller because he wouldn't run the ball. They have
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: to run the ball for their offensive line's sake. And oh,
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: by the way, Sam Darnold, the run game, the offense,
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: the team really missed Anthony Bradford. The Pacific Northwest's punching
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: bag actually has some value to this team. They ran
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: eight times to the right side yesterday. Do you know
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: how many total yards they had in eight runs that
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: were specifically to the right side?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going to guess like eight.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Minus one. Oh, geez. including on the goal line. That's
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: how much they missed.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Anthony Bradford. Abe Lucas, the right tackle, missed Anthony Bradford.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: Christian Haynes and rookie Bo Stevens again alternated at right guard,
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: and it didn't work. We'll see if Anthony Bradford comes
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: back in a couple weeks when he's eligible to off
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: the injured list, but they're going to have to at
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: least a couple more games with that settled right guard.
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: But again, the underscore to me offensively is They decided
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: to bench Jadarian Price and to bench the run game,
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: and it cost them a win.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: We'll see if it pays off the rest of the season.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I know nobody's in the mood to hear some silver
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: lining sort of comment, but I do think it is
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: our responsibility to point out something positive even after a loss,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and my goodness is number 11 unstoppable. That is just
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: one fantastic football player, Greg Bell.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: Even when he's covered, I mean, the touchdown catch, he
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: was covered on the touchdown catch.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: But he put a little shimmy move.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: He kind of walked into that route. Like he was
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: going to go deep on a flag and a fade.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: And he just cut out sharply.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: And then the subtle play on the touchdown was, yeah,
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: he made the cut on the corner, but not only
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: did he just cut outside, but then he came back
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: to the ball and a lot of receivers don't come
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: back to the.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Ball in the short pass like that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: And then the defensive back gets his hand or reaches
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: over the shoulder and knocks it away. But the body
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: control and the body positioning that Smith and Jigba has,
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: he was smart enough and savvy enough to keep the
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: defender on his back by coming back to the ball
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: a couple steps to the pylon. That's why that was
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: a touchdown. He caught a couple passes in tight windows again.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: You look up and all of a sudden he's got
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: another 100-yard game.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: There's all kinds of stats.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: The Seahawks PR sent last night on their plane ride
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: home about he and Jerry Rice are one of only
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: two players that have 100-plus yards, six touchdowns in each
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: of the first three games, and Leads the NFL in
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: touchdown receptions, even though the entire world, including every defense
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: they play, years to stop him.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what coverage. It doesn't matter what pressure.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Donald's throwing to Smith and Jigba, who's going to be
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: open no matter who's on him and how close he is.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: All right. Injury news. Any information you've got on that front?
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: No, nothing notable that came out of the game.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to think as we went. I'm trying to
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: think if there was anyone who left. the game because
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: of an injury. And I don't remember.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Well, you're right. He did leave in the second quarter.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: They announced it was a hamstring and that he was
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: a questionable to return yet. He came back the very
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: next drive after the Seahawks made that press box announcement.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: I asked McDonald after the game and he said, right
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: now he's fine.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: The hedges.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: We'll see how he reacts to the game today, tomorrow,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: and how he is available to practice on Wednesday. But
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: hamstring would of course been new from the sprained ankle.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: although you do have residuals of lower leg, sometimes causing
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: upper leg injuries. We'll see how much he practices this week,
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: but as of yesterday, McDonald said he's okay.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Well, Julian Love better get healthy. I don't think you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: lose that.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Game with Julian Love out there on the field.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they missed him a lot.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: By the way, the penalty on Finley on the third
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: down incomplete pass was probably equally as bad as the
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: penalty on the commanders on the third down pass.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a make-up call.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: Those are two really... really poor, poor officiating. Those aren't targeting.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: Those aren't even hits to the head. Those are football
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: plays that try to contest the pass. Both plays are
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: really bad.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Are you doing your show today?
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I am from New York.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: 10 to 12. Talk a lot about, of course, the
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Mariners situation. I still think they fired the wrong guy.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: We'll go on year 12 with Jerry DePoto. We'll talk
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: And you'll hear from Sam Darnold, you'll hear from my
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: talk in the locker room with Jadarian Price.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: At 11 o'clock, we're going to have Gary Hill Jr.,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the Mariners broadcaster.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: What an emotional day for him and the team yesterday,
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: but especially him. His friend Rick Riz sitting right next
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: to him as he said goodbye. We'll talk to Gary
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: Hill Jr.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: At 11 o'clock.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Well, be safe, and we'll talk to you again soon,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: all right?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Happy Monday. Talk to you tomorrow.

• 19:28
  Speaker 2: myself on the back.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I'll do it. So, yeah, Anders, could you come over
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: here and get that done?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Why not?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Right there. Good week for the morning show this week.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Good week.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: But don't worry. We don't sit on our laurels. No,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you're not. We spent the weekend just analyzing film.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: That's what we did all weekend long to keep this
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: train rolling.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Just for these picks.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: These picks.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So 735, our latest Factor Fiction pick for you. Also,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: we got to squeeze it in somewhere, and this might
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: be the only chance.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: We got to talk a little Huskies football and also
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: about that USC-Oregon flap as well.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FM.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Now back to Countdown to Monday Night Football with Chuck
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: in the Morning.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Cold as the Rockies.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: On Sports Radio 93.3, KJR FM.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, drums make you think of college football. They also
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: make you think about going to Tulalip Resort Casino for
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: some college football.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Anybody try it out?
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: My little recommendation, a little Saturday at Tulalip Resort Casino,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: some beautiful fall weather, beautiful fall drive. up to the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Tulalip Resort Casino, and then you just hang out indoors,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: watch some college football all day long, maybe play some
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: better nine, and just have the time of your lives.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Could be your new tradition, Tulalip Resort Casino and the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: DraftKings Sportsbook. When all you want is everything, everythingtulalip.com. It's
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Chuck Anders and Travis with you here this morning. Factor
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Fiction comes your way in 735. Wait till you see
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: how good we are at picking. If you're looking for
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a little advice... Maybe go with.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: The team that went 800 last week. Whoa!
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: And had any of us picked the Huskies-Minnesota game, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: think we would have gone Minnesota.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I would have.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: We had a long conversation Friday, well, throughout the week
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: last week. I mean, I expected the Huskies to win,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: but there was no part of me that thought they
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: were 10 points better than the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: We literally said that. Yeah, exactly. We said that was
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: to be, and that ended up being the case.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: And you know what's strange about it is.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Look, DeMond Williams did not play well in the game.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: But I don't know how you could. We know he's undersized.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: We know he has trouble seeing over the line. The
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: offensive line got blown up all night long. And then
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: once you lost the left tackle, now you're moving Mills
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: out to left guard. And, man, I've been hearing about
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: these Hatchet brothers forever. Boy, Garrett got just whooped at
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: left guard all night long. All night long. Then you
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: have no running game. You don't trust your running game.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Just like we saw yesterday with the Seahawks.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: They didn't even try running the football at one point
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: in the contest. Still reluctant to turn the running game
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: over to the small, tiny quarterback.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And then on top of it all, Anders.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just watching an offense that does not scheme receivers open. No. Hey,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: DeMond Williams hardly ever had a clean look, both in
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the pocket because of his offensive line, and then downfield
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: to what I think is probably the.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Best group on the team.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was supposed to be the offense and
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: defensive lines, but I really like Lawson, and I think
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Rasheed Williams can play, and Roebuck can definitely play.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: What a great catch he had. And yet.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Williams never had, I mean, he had a few, but
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: not that many clean looks during the game. So it's
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: like he's either throwing to a guy covered all the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: time and that's on demand. Maybe Hugh can tell us this.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: or they're not scheming anybody open for him. So it's
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: really just making his life a nightmare. I don't know
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: how you can put up big numbers and apparently you're
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: going to have to put up big offensive numbers. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: don't know how you can put them up with that
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: many things working against your quarterback.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: And then you add on procedural penalties, just a lack
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: of cohesion. It seems like on offense where it's like,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: they're not on the same page a lot of the time.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: And then At the end of the game, that clock
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: management was awful.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Now let's add that to it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: My God. That's as egregious as it gets. Two minutes
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: left and you let it go all the way down
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: instead of running an extra play? Like, I don't understand.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: I don't understand how... you can be this far into
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: the season week through week four in the college football season.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: And you're still having what seems like a kind of
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: first week issues here. And it's not, you're playing against
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: a team that yes, it's a step up in competition
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: from what you have been, but this is not nearly the,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: the kind of height of the opponents that you're going
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: to be facing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Well, three and Oh, there was nothing about that three
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: and Oh football team that looked like, Oh, this team's good.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: There was no convincing yourself for that. And now that
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: you've lost at home to Minnesota, who hasn't exactly made
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: a habit of winning on the road in the Big
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Ten Conference, obviously there's a lot of work to do.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: And you're right.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: The competition gets stiffer. In our last minute here before
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Fact or Fiction. Also, just want to at least mention
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: the Oregon USC thing. I think most people fell in
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: line with this, exception of Chris Sims, apparently. But obviously
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: that was a borderline hit on Dante Moore where a
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: sliding quarterback gets hit in the head. I do have
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: sympathy for defensive backs that want to come up and
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: make the hit, and then there's a last-second slide, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: what can you do? It looked like a dirty hit,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: but there is defense for that. What there is no
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: defense for is the way that he acted afterwards and
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: then had time to think about it. and still continued
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to act like he was so proud of knocking Dante
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Moore out and an ambulance coming out on the field.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: He's been suspended, and I don't think he should play again, frankly.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, he will, but there's no room, there's no
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: defense for that kind of behavior, and both head coaches
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: should be embarrassed because they made fools of themselves after
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: the game. All right, let's play some Factor Fiction.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: We're set to go.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Glad you're with us it's your shot at our weekly
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollar grand prize it's
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: fact or fiction proudly presented by lucky eagle casino and
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: hotel where every day feels lucky fact or fiction is
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: on sports radio.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: 93.3 kjr fm oh boy i.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Don't know about other shows this show needed a four
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: in one week yeah it did Really did.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And we got it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Yep. So, yeah, if I spend a little time bragging
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: about our four-in-one week more than I should, it's because
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I'm masking the pain.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: From the first couple of weeks.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: When we picked so poorly as a show. And myself,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I put myself right at the front of that list.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: But hopefully we've turned things around. See, we just needed
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks to kind of get the feel
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: for what teams were going to be like this year.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: We didn't have a preseason.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's right.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: All right, it is Anders' pick today. So what are
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: we doing with Factor Fiction?
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Pretty simple. Monday Night Football. Philly's giving three and a
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: half points to the Chicago Bears in Chicago, but I
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: believe they will win the game by more than that.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: So I'm taking Philly minus three and a half. They're
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: playing against a backup quarterback. Maybe third stringer. Yeah, possibly
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: even worse than that. So, yeah, I just think Philly's
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: a good football team. Um, they'll go into Chicago. They'll
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: be able to score, uh, at will, uh, against that defense.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: And I don't think Chicago will have much of an
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: answer offensively.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: This is, this is a big test for Ben Johnson's
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: play calling. Um, because he's had not, uh, he's only
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: had a number one overall quarterback that he's called plays
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: for in the NFL, Jared Goff. And now Caleb Williams, uh,
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: This is his first time. He's really kind of had
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: someone not to that level, obviously. So this is kind
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: of a big test for him. We'll see if he's
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: the guru that everyone thinks he is. But I still
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: think Philly is going to win this game by a
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: handily margin. So Philadelphia minus three and a half. At
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: Chicago is my pick today.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: There you go. There is your selection. If you agree
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: with the pick, well, it's.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Time to jump to action because this is your opportunity
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: to win $ 1, 000 in cash. So if you agree, what
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: you're going to do is you're going to text FACT
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: to 49451. If you disagree, text FICTION to 49451.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: All that matters is that you're wrong or right.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: And a right prediction on your part puts you into
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: a drawing at the end of the week for $ 1, 000
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: in cash.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: But don't think, hey, I got in the drawing. I'm good. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: You can play every single time we play Factor Fiction

  Speaker 2: become $ 1, 000 richer.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: By the end of the week.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: And if you get the most correct picks this season,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: you'll win a $ 10, 000 jackpot, but you are competing against

  Speaker 2: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. Lucky Eagle Casino, where every
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: day feels lucky.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: Roar!
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Still a cat? Still sound like a cat?
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: It's very much a cat.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Like a bigger cat.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a baby tiger is what it sounds
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: like to me.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Again, the pick is Philadelphia, which means by giving three
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and a half on the road to the Chicago Bears,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Anders is saying that the Eagles will win by four
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: points or more. If you think he's right, if you
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: think he's dead on, text FACT to 49451. If you
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: think he's out of his ever-loving mind, what you're going
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: to do is text FICTION to 49451.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Your next chance to.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Play comes at 1135 this morning with Greg Bell and
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn McIntyre.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's Mike on the mic.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't heard Coach McDonald react to a loss
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: in quite some time.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: We'll hear it next.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. I mean, just so uncharacteristic how
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: they lose this game. I mean, there was a lot
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: offensively that they did well. And then there was a
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: lot defensively that they did well. But this team is
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl champion that won 12 games for a
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: reason that they don't typically beat themselves. Minus three in
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: the turnover department. I mean, you know, I made the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: argument on Friday, you can lose... The turnover, you can
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: lose the turnover battle. You can lose it by two.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: But you can't lose it by three. And not only
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: did you lose the turnover battle by three, every single
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: time it resulted in a touchdown. That's 21 points of
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: the Commander's 33 in the game yesterday, a direct result
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: of the turnovers, including a pick six. Here's Coach McDonald
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: afterwards talking about losing the turnover battle.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: They got to an audible against zero, and they made
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: a good check, and we didn't make the play.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: What did you think of Sam overall, just kind of
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: his effort? I mean, four touchdowns in there, and they
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: put a couple of interceptions as well.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's kind of like a microcosm for
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: the whole game. I think our guys played hard. I
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: thought we did a lot of good things. Offensively, we
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: thought they threw the ball relatively well, but we've got
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: to take care of the ball.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: You know, as a, as an offense.
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: So, and we got to get it off.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: We got to turn it over on defense.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, exactly. And that was Bob Condotta being nosy
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Um, so yeah, I mean, one of those things doesn't happen.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: You win the game, right?
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Like the pick six, you were, you were going to
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: win that game until the pick six, right? You know,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: You don't start the game by putting the.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Ball on the field.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You're probably going to set the tone for a victory
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: at that point. I give a lot of credit to
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota. I thought he outfoxed Mike McDonald a couple
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: of times. I think throughout the course of the game,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: a backup quarterback who hasn't really been good.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: He hadn't been a good quarterback in like seven, eight years.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: But throughout the course of the game, He didn't light
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: it up, but he just, for four quarters, just played
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: such a smart football game. And that's probably the recipe
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: as a quarterback for beating Mike McDonald. Not everybody can
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: be Matthew Stafford and feel comfortable against a Mike McDonald
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: defense like he looked a couple of times a year ago.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Most people get rattled, and Mariota just seemed to have
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the answers all day long. A lot of different ways
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: that this ends up being a Seahawks victory, but it's
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a loss. And one thing that you operated without from
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the game, no running game at all.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Here's Coach. Honestly, I'm not sure. That was a good front.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: I think we were trying to find solutions. I think
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: also the way the second half went with the weather
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: clearing up and the way the pass game was going,
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: I think that's.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Where we decided to.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: What's your concern on Price's fumbles?
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: I think it's his team. If we turn the ball over,
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: it's not good business. So I didn't come back after
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: the initial fumble. We just decided to calm it down
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: and bring it back after the half.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But he's going to be fine. He's going to figure
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it out. He'll be fine.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a lesson. He got sent to the doghouse.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: He was benched. Two fumbles in three games. We're not
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: going to do that. And even if we don't have
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: as an effect of a running game without you, you're
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: going to learn your lesson here today.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: One way or the other.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: So.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: no running game whatsoever and yeah you spent a lot
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: of the time wondering is he going to give judari in.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Another shot here today well i just i hope it
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: is what greg bell was telling us and it's kind
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: of a sacrifice for the short term to gain more
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: in the long term if that ends up being the
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: case then i will feel okay about what they did
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: but just so many times i found myself saying well
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: i could these other two guys are just giving us
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: absolutely nothing. And yes, the Greg said that the first
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: run was for 11 yards. Then he got like three
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: total yards after that. I still think, you know, he
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: had a couple of catches that, um, stretched it, uh,
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: you know, catch and run sort of plays. He gives
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: you so much more than the other guys do. I,
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: it's even when he wasn't benched, they still weren't using
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: him to the full capacity that I believe they should.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: But I get it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Like you're trying to send a message that you can't
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: turn the ball over and it, and it's two straight weeks.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Now it's not just a one-off or anything like that.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Ken Walker had zero, uh, lost fumbles in his entire
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: Seahawks career. So, and he's already had the Jadarian price
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: through three games has already had two. So I hope
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: this is a short-term loss, long-term game. If that's kind
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: of the play here.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Travis Moger brought up Emmanuel Wilson being
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: a key to this game.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: And, and.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: You know what, in a way he kind of was,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: because he certainly didn't give you anything that you saw
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: at the end of the game. And if he had,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: you know, You know, maybe we do have another outcome. Again,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: a hundred different ways to have won this game.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: And you found, like, the one way to lose it.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Turning the ball over three times, which resulted in 21 points.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Benching your starting running back. Benching your starting running back
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: to send a message, even when the other running backs
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: weren't effective. I mean, Manuel Wilson didn't run with grit
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: or power or anything. It was like, hand him the ball,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: and he was running into defense and going down immediately.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: That was the day.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if it was the rainy field
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: that he was dealing with, but no running game. I'm
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: not nearly as hard on Sam Darnold as what a
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: lot of people are being.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Bring back Drew Locke, Chuck. Yeah, I thought for the
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: most part he played really well.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: But he made the one horrible mistake. And again, 100
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: ways to win this game, one way to lose, and
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: they found the way to lose, and that was absolutely,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you know, just... game breaking yeah right there to have
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: thrown a pick six in that situation and even then
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: make the tackle oh god you had the tackle.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: You tackle him and you get the ball.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Back that was a feeble attempt and a touchdown to
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: to tie it up yeah and you probably win the
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: game but you don't make the tackle in that situation
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: either not only did you throw the bad pass but
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you don't make the tackle either so um yeah it
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: was um It was just.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: A bizarre game. And they earned that loss. They earned it.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: And Washington earned the victory in the contest, even though
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I do believe the Seahawks were clearly the better football team,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: even with Washington playing better than I thought they would.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Still thought the Seahawks were clearly the better football team.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but they figured out a way to lose on Sunday,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: which doesn't happen to them a lot, as we all know.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: All right, Hugh Millen joins us next. Monday morning quarterback
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: session comes your way. Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
