- 1:29Speaker 2: struggling offensively as of late, put five biscuits in the
- 1:33Speaker 2: basket and they defeat the Winnipeg Jets last night five
- 1:37Speaker 2: to three. So at least they I mean, they won.
- 1:40Speaker 2: They didn't have to play overtime to do it. That's nice.
- 1:43Speaker 2: That happens almost every game, eight of them, but ever
- 1:47Speaker 2: fits you on the call there last night of course
- 1:49Speaker 2: the voice and those are your mc deliveries of the game.

- 2:33Speaker 2: let's get it going with baseball here. Eric Judge earns
- 2:36Speaker 2: the excuse me, edges cal for the al MVP. Yeah,
- 2:40Speaker 2: he earned an MVP, but not more than our guy.
- 2:43Speaker 2: We're all very disappointed, Bucky perhaps most of all, even
- 2:47Speaker 2: though it is a tight race and so cal Rawley
- 2:50Speaker 2: just fell a little bit short. Judge got seventeen of
- 2:53Speaker 2: the thirty first place votes. Both Judge and Cal got
- 2:57Speaker 2: all of the first or second place votes, and it's
- 3:01Speaker 2: Aaron Judge who wins the AL MVP, his third of
- 3:04Speaker 2: his career. Showe Aotani won his fourth MVP in his
- 3:08Speaker 2: career on the National League side, and celebrated by kissing
- 3:11Speaker 2: his dog and not his wife. There you go. College basketball,
- 3:15Speaker 2: UDUB and Washington State play tonight at eight o'clock in Pullman.
- 3:19Speaker 2: The Zags are also in action. They'll be taking on
- 3:22Speaker 2: Arizona State that will also tip off at eight o'clock.
- 3:26Speaker 2: College football, you DUB host Purdue tomorrow at four honks,
- 3:30Speaker 2: get it started at noon, and plenty of other college
- 3:34Speaker 2: football action that we'll outline for you in the OHO
- 3:37Speaker 2: at eight o'clock. Thursday Night football, the Jets lost to
- 3:41Speaker 2: the New England Patriots last night twenty seven to fourteen,
- 3:44Speaker 2: and the Seahawks, of course, will be in action against
- 3:47Speaker 2: the Rams this Sunday at one. It's time to talk
- 3:50Speaker 2: to Greg Bell. All right, Happy Friday to you. So
- 3:53Speaker 2: here we go, Here we go. I mean, this is
- 3:55Speaker 2: the game that you've sort of had circled the entire offseason,
- 3:59Speaker 2: maybe since the schedule came out. We talked about in
- 4:02Speaker 2: the preseason, you've been telling us that it won't matter
- 4:05Speaker 2: until this team squares off against the Rams. That's when
- 4:09Speaker 2: we'll know how good they are. So obviously you're putting
- 4:13Speaker 2: this game in the area of very critical importance here
- 4:18Speaker 2: on Sunday.
- 4:20Speaker 1: It is. It's a barometer game, a measuring stick. Again.
- 4:24Speaker 1: They hired Mike McDonald to win this game, to beat
- 4:27Speaker 1: the forty nine ers in the Rams. They narrowly lost
- 4:29Speaker 1: in Week one to the forty nine ers, and they
- 4:32Speaker 1: get them again week eighteen in the season. They've yet
- 4:36Speaker 1: to play the Rams this year. We all know the
- 4:38Speaker 1: combined Seattle seven to two, the combined records of those
- 4:41Speaker 1: seven wins, the teams they've beaten, the seven victories, twenty
- 4:45Speaker 1: two wins and thirty four losses. So they haven't done
- 4:49Speaker 1: anything yet because they've done things. Of course, they themselves
- 4:53Speaker 1: in position to be here, but they're not going to
- 4:55Speaker 1: win the division till they beat the Rams in forty
- 4:57Speaker 1: nine ers. They Hugh mentioned something yesterday that I had
- 5:03Speaker 1: remembered i'd written last year, and then I've kind of
- 5:05Speaker 1: forgotten about that game. Let's throw out the JV game
- 5:09Speaker 1: as he put it to end the regular season in
- 5:11Speaker 1: Englewoo last year. Because the Rams had everything clinched and
- 5:14Speaker 1: rested all their starters. Stafford didn't play Gino. Smith just
- 5:17Speaker 1: was throwing for his incentive bonuses. It was throw a game.
- 5:21Speaker 1: The game in Seattle in November, early December, late November.
- 5:27Speaker 1: In the overtime game, McVeigh and Stafford got just thirteen
- 5:31Speaker 1: points on McDonald's offense in regulation, and if Smith doesn't
- 5:34Speaker 1: throw the one hundred and five yard interception return touchdown
- 5:37Speaker 1: in the red zone, the Seaharks probably win that game
- 5:39Speaker 1: with the Rams only scoring thirteen points. So McDonald has
- 5:43Speaker 1: had a leg up on McVeigh in their one head
- 5:46Speaker 1: to head meeting. That game was more indicative as to
- 5:50Speaker 1: why they hired McDonald. Can he do it again? That's
- 5:53Speaker 1: the question. Stafford comes into the game being the first quarterback.
- 5:57Speaker 1: I found this kind of surprising. Actually, this hadn't happened before.
- 6:01Speaker 1: He's the first quarterback in NFL history have four more
- 6:04Speaker 1: touchdown passes with no interceptions in three consecutive games. It's
- 6:07Speaker 1: three in a row in counting. Coming into this game,
- 6:09Speaker 1: on Sunday. So can McDonald in the defense now that
- 6:13Speaker 1: it's becoming almost whole again with everybody but Julian Love
- 6:15Speaker 1: back healthy, can they do what they did in Lumenfield
- 6:19Speaker 1: last November to the Rams again? That's the question whether
- 6:22Speaker 1: they'll be in first place Sunday night or not. I'm
- 6:25Speaker 1: with you.
- 6:25Speaker 4: I think the other side of that coin, obviously, is
- 6:27Speaker 4: very intriguing as well, is what can what can Sam
- 6:30Speaker 4: donald and company do against that Rams defense?
- 6:33Speaker 2: And so just quickly, I mean, I suppose health wise,
- 6:37Speaker 2: where are we at?
- 6:39Speaker 4: I saw Gray's Abel was on the injury list or
- 6:42Speaker 4: you know, on the injury list a report. If he's
- 6:45Speaker 4: not in are you looking at what Cable do and Olua,
- 6:48Speaker 4: Timmy and Anthony Bradford up the middle.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Let's just he's going to play. I sig him a
- 6:55Speaker 1: practice yesterday. Oh Timmy's gonna play, Yes, but no, Gray's
- 6:58Speaker 1: Abel's gonna play. I saw him actice yesterday. He looked
- 7:01Speaker 1: like he was normal. Good to go let him as
- 7:03Speaker 1: a heel. But he was a limited participant. That doesn't
- 7:06Speaker 1: mean he hasn't been in the game plans, the meetings
- 7:08Speaker 1: and in fact on the field practicing with the starters
- 7:11Speaker 1: this week, this time of year. The injury report, guy,
- 7:15Speaker 1: people just see names on them. There oh, no Crazabels
- 7:17Speaker 1: on it. One, If they're limited participant, it means they
- 7:20Speaker 1: took at least one portion of their normal reps off.
- 7:24Speaker 1: That could be a series. It's very there's a wide
- 7:27Speaker 1: range of what limited means. Two, it's late mid late
- 7:31Speaker 1: November and he's already played nine games. They're resting, they're
- 7:37Speaker 1: preserving themselves for Sunday. The injury reports, especially with limited participation,
- 7:42Speaker 1: aren't very always very indicative of who's going to play
- 7:46Speaker 1: on Sunday. Zabel's been a revelation he really has. There's
- 7:51Speaker 1: a video out there on the internet him miked up
- 7:55Speaker 1: as they call it, with Kalis Campbell during the Cardinals game,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and he's just trash talk in a future Hall of
- 8:01Speaker 1: Fame pass rusher, and the guy's like, I have one
- 8:05Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen man, and Zabel goes, well, he ain't
- 8:09Speaker 1: getting one hundred and sixteen on me, and he didn't,
- 8:12Speaker 1: and he still has yet this season to give up
- 8:14Speaker 1: a sack. A rookie starting right away, his boys. His
- 8:20Speaker 1: trash talk, which I've written about at the News Tribute
- 8:22Speaker 1: as well disabled something else. That guy as tough as
- 8:26Speaker 1: they came on that team. I mean Midwest, Hardy Stock,
- 8:30Speaker 1: Upper Northwest. He's playing Ernest Jones, also limited participant. He's
- 8:34Speaker 1: playing Tory Horton was the guy who had practiced on Wednesday,
- 8:38Speaker 1: who didn't practice yesterday, took a step back in his
- 8:41Speaker 1: leg shin injury. Josh Jeman was the most telling thing
- 8:46Speaker 1: to me that he was back full go yesterday. Now
- 8:50Speaker 1: this is the point in the concussion protocol that Rake
- 8:52Speaker 1: wollen a couple of weeks ago took a step back.
- 8:54Speaker 1: He had practiced on Wednesday, wool and had Thursday. He
- 8:57Speaker 1: tried to come back and duplicate that and couldn't, and
- 8:59Speaker 1: then he missed the game. Opposite with Job Job practice.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Now two days in a round on the second day
- 9:05Speaker 1: full it's all signs are Josh Job's going to play
- 9:08Speaker 1: as well?
- 9:09Speaker 2: Well. I was going to ask about that because the
- 9:11Speaker 2: ripple effect of that I just did. I just did
- 9:14Speaker 2: a no cliche key to victory talking about how Rake
- 9:16Speaker 2: Woolan might be the key because I was assuming Jackson
- 9:19Speaker 2: Job was not going to or Job wasn't going to
- 9:23Speaker 2: be playing in this game. But now the ripple effect
- 9:26Speaker 2: if he does play, what does that do to Woolan,
- 9:28Speaker 2: What does that do to Pritchett.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Well, I would think Pritchett is the guy who slides
- 9:32Speaker 1: back down out of the rotation. I would also think
- 9:34Speaker 1: it might mean they may do more Dime and they'll
- 9:37Speaker 1: keep wooling in and they'll do six defensive backs. We've
- 9:40Speaker 1: talked a lot about Dame with McDonald this week. He
- 9:44Speaker 1: hasn't been doing it as much until recently when they
- 9:47Speaker 1: got all the guys, but he didn't have six defensive
- 9:48Speaker 1: backs he felt was worth we're worth playing at the
- 9:51Speaker 1: same time, Well, now he's starting to get him all back,
- 9:54Speaker 1: and the way Tyo Cotta is playing, he's not quite
- 9:56Speaker 1: been a one for one swap with love. But you
- 10:00Speaker 1: the safety in the back is not quite as anything
- 10:03Speaker 1: to do with Nickel and Dime. You're talking about your
- 10:05Speaker 1: inside slock cornerbacks. I would think even though Pritchett had
- 10:09Speaker 1: the remarkable play. I wrote about that at the News
- 10:11Speaker 1: Tribute this morning about Pritchett's breakup in the end zone.
- 10:15Speaker 1: Past break up in the end zone had Leslie Fraser
- 10:17Speaker 1: going nuts about it. I think he's going to move
- 10:21Speaker 1: out and Woolan becomes what whether what Neamiah Pritchett was
- 10:25Speaker 1: last week. I would think I've been telling you they
- 10:28Speaker 1: love Joe and they're not about to bench him just
- 10:30Speaker 1: because Woolann's had a couple of good games and Pritchett
- 10:33Speaker 1: had a great pass breakup. I'd expect Josh job will
- 10:36Speaker 1: be starting on Sunday.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Well, how do you envision the front seven holding up
- 10:40Speaker 4: against their rams?
- 10:41Speaker 2: I mean, they run the ball.
- 10:43Speaker 4: These two teams are very similar, at least in nine
- 10:45Speaker 4: games into the season, and so you got they got
- 10:48Speaker 4: a couple guys, depending on the health of DeVante Adams,
- 10:51Speaker 4: they got to stop with your your dbs. But the
- 10:54Speaker 4: upfront you, I mean you obviously are not going to
- 10:57Speaker 4: want to let Williams and company run all over me either.
- 10:59Speaker 4: So what's their plan of attack to shut that down?
- 11:03Speaker 1: Well, let's update the listeners. DeVante Adams did practice yesterday
- 11:06Speaker 1: on a limited basis. He had the oblique issue that
- 11:09Speaker 1: he did not practice Wednesday. So a guy did not
- 11:11Speaker 1: practice Wednesday, practice limited on Thursday. Trending toward playing, Adams
- 11:15Speaker 1: leads the NFL and nine with nine touchdown receptions so
- 11:18Speaker 1: far this season. Kyen Williams still the guy. I mean
- 11:22Speaker 1: he's averaging five and a half yards of carry. I'm
- 11:25Speaker 1: telling you McVeigh gets all the attention for throwing. It
- 11:28Speaker 1: starts with the run. And when this rams played the Seahawks,
- 11:32Speaker 1: it starts with running backs and tight ends, screen pass
- 11:38Speaker 1: dump offs, quick, horizontal, across the field, horizontal stuff. Kyen
- 11:43Speaker 1: Williams and Tyler higbere as big as this to me
- 11:46Speaker 1: as DeVante Adams and Puku Nakua because of the way
- 11:49Speaker 1: that the Seahawks have habitually been attacked on defense. And
- 11:53Speaker 1: they've got Chenn and wos Wu now back full time
- 11:56Speaker 1: playing run and pass downs. De Marcus Lawrence's back health,
- 12:00Speaker 1: the Leonard Williams is having another Pro Bowl caliber season,
- 12:03Speaker 1: and Byron Murphy has been the breakout on that front
- 12:06Speaker 1: seven with the sacks and playing every more. As we said,
- 12:10Speaker 1: had to play more than fifty percent of the snaps
- 12:11Speaker 1: that he barely played last season, and he has They
- 12:15Speaker 1: to me, are more equipped than they were this time
- 12:16Speaker 1: last season. Murphy is progress being foremost in that they're
- 12:21Speaker 1: more equipped in the front. Can they pressure Stafford? Stafford
- 12:25Speaker 1: gets the ball out Alter quick. He's like Aaron Rodgers,
- 12:29Speaker 1: but better, and he gets the ball so quickly he's strolling.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Just two interceptions this season, it's really tough to get
- 12:37Speaker 1: to him. The can they at least get to Can
- 12:39Speaker 1: they cover sticky enough in the back that the front
- 12:42Speaker 1: can get to the pass rush put to the passer,
- 12:44Speaker 1: And that's what's happened so far this season. If McDonald
- 12:47Speaker 1: can get away with not blitzing, the Seahawks are in
- 12:50Speaker 1: catbird seat defensively. In this game, I think he's going
- 12:54Speaker 1: to blitz more than he normally does because he's got
- 12:56Speaker 1: even Worry and Witherspoon both at his disposal as in
- 13:00Speaker 1: sub packages. I expect a lot of Dikel and Diamond,
- 13:03Speaker 1: a lot of blitzes out of it with those two guys.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Craig Bella is with us are Seahawks Insider. You can
- 13:07Speaker 2: follow on at to g bel Seattle, there on x
- 13:10Speaker 2: and of course the Newstribune dot com, where he provides
- 13:12Speaker 2: a complete and excellent coverage of the Seahawks all year long.
- 13:16Speaker 2: He's ours to interview most every day throughout the football
- 13:20Speaker 2: season here at seven five. You know, obviously, when you
- 13:24Speaker 2: face an NFL team, there's a very good chance you're
- 13:27Speaker 2: going to face somebody that used to be on your team,
- 13:30Speaker 2: and so certainly some trade secrets are going to be exchanged.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And it doesn't seem that NFL teams, you know, stay
- 13:37Speaker 2: awake at night worrying about that. That said, when you
- 13:41Speaker 2: have two players as good and cerebral and as involved
- 13:45Speaker 2: in active as Cooper Cup and Ernest Jones on this
- 13:49Speaker 2: team that played so recently against the Rams, what kind
- 13:53Speaker 2: of advantage, if any, could that possibly give the Seahawks
- 13:56Speaker 2: on Sunday, Probably.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Thirty thousand foot global view, it helps. But McVeigh those guys,
- 14:05Speaker 1: they change from week to week, year to year. They
- 14:08Speaker 1: put a bunch of stuff in the training camp that
- 14:10Speaker 1: they haven't shown yet. All teams do. The Seahawks have
- 14:13Speaker 1: not shown a decent amount of their offensive defensive playbooks yet.
- 14:17Speaker 1: The Rams are going to see stuff on Sunday they
- 14:19Speaker 1: haven't seen yet. Cup and Jones are going to see
- 14:22Speaker 1: stuff from McVeigh that they haven't seen yet either. So
- 14:26Speaker 1: it's almost a wash. I want to say it's almost psychological,
- 14:29Speaker 1: but it's more than that. But Cup is in particular
- 14:34Speaker 1: sticking his head in the head coach's office and saying, hey,
- 14:37Speaker 1: I know the Rams like to do this on third
- 14:39Speaker 1: down and when they're at this part of the field.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Is mcveigh's tendancies are Chances are McDonald knows most of
- 14:44Speaker 1: that already. The guy's a football nerd who just sits
- 14:47Speaker 1: and just loves that stuff. And we've asked him a
- 14:51Speaker 1: couple times this week McDonald about facing McVay, and of
- 14:55Speaker 1: course he said, Wow, my job is to have this
- 14:57Speaker 1: team ready to play every week. Doesn't matter who the
- 14:59Speaker 1: opponent is. I gotta have it coaches and players. This
- 15:03Speaker 1: matters to him, I know, as in the weeds as
- 15:07Speaker 1: he is about schematics and about being cutting edge and
- 15:10Speaker 1: innovative and one step ahead of the offensive guy. This
- 15:13Speaker 1: is the standard Kyle Shanahan and McVeigh, but McVeigh most
- 15:17Speaker 1: recently has the Super Bowl ring. This is the standard. Again,
- 15:22Speaker 1: this is why the Seahawks hired him to beat this
- 15:24Speaker 1: guy this week means it's way more to him than
- 15:27Speaker 1: he will ever let on. And then that's the intriguing
- 15:30Speaker 1: game within the game we've been talking about all week.
- 15:31Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating, it really is. Yeah, it's kind of crazy.
- 15:35Speaker 1: This game is a one oh five regional Fox broadcast
- 15:38Speaker 1: with the number two team. This should be primetime best
- 15:41Speaker 1: game of the weekend. This is this is really good stuff.
- 15:44Speaker 2: That's good. I mean, kan City Denver is a great game,
- 15:47Speaker 2: but this one takes the cake right here, all right,
- 15:50Speaker 2: So what's your key to the victory? Well, how's it
- 15:53Speaker 2: going to go down on Sunday?
- 15:55Speaker 1: Well, I'm just writing that story for thenewstribute dot com
- 15:58Speaker 1: this morning. Sam Darnald, Is he human in that? Is
- 16:04Speaker 1: he really? Is he going to come out and say
- 16:06Speaker 1: I need to prove myself to myself against this team
- 16:09Speaker 1: that just bludgeon me to end my Viking's tenure last January.
- 16:13Speaker 1: It's only been ten months. The last time he's been
- 16:15Speaker 1: on that field, he got sucked nine times and was
- 16:18Speaker 1: just a hot mess and the Vikings went from fourteen
- 16:21Speaker 1: to two to out of the playoffs in one night.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Is Donald truly what he says and what he's shown
- 16:27Speaker 1: so far? This poised, unflappable and every game is saying
- 16:32Speaker 1: nothing fazes me guy. Or is he going to be
- 16:35Speaker 1: a little extra and forcing things a little bit more
- 16:39Speaker 1: to show these guys don't have me. He's got to
- 16:42Speaker 1: play within himself and not force things. He's got to
- 16:45Speaker 1: get rid of the ball and be willing to just
- 16:47Speaker 1: throw the chuck the ball out of bounds when he's
- 16:48Speaker 1: getting pressured. If they get to him. The Rams are
- 16:52Speaker 1: susceptible in the secondary. When you talk to the LA
- 16:55Speaker 1: people down there, Yeah, we've had a great scene, but
- 16:57Speaker 1: man our past defense. If we don't get the quarterback,
- 17:01Speaker 1: we've had a hard time covering. And you look at
- 17:04Speaker 1: the numbers, I think it's eighteenth in the league. And
- 17:06Speaker 1: pass defense. If the Seahawks with Gray's Abel and friends
- 17:10Speaker 1: can keep mc donald from being rushed and being pressured
- 17:15Speaker 1: into making choices before he wants to, the Seahawks have
- 17:19Speaker 1: big plays coming in this Ram secondary. And I'm talking
- 17:23Speaker 1: the debut of number twenty two. I know he played
- 17:25Speaker 1: last week, but Rashid Shaheed to me is an untalked
- 17:29Speaker 1: about heat of this game. They're gonna send Shaheed deep
- 17:33Speaker 1: center post routes and go routes to see if the
- 17:36Speaker 1: Rams will bite or if they're going to really keep
- 17:39Speaker 1: their safety over the top against Smith and Jig. But
- 17:41Speaker 1: if they do, look for Shaheed to have a one
- 17:43Speaker 1: hundred yard receiving game. If they do go back to
- 17:47Speaker 1: shading for the deep post and guarding against Shaheed speed,
- 17:50Speaker 1: look for Smith and jig. But to have one hundred
- 17:52Speaker 1: yard receiving game, that to me is another game within
- 17:57Speaker 1: the game. It's really intriguing to me. But the old
- 18:00Speaker 1: Timmy thing at center, big deal. The Rams are going
- 18:02Speaker 1: to send a lot of a gap pressure and really
- 18:04Speaker 1: challenge old with Timmy. We'll see how that part of
- 18:07Speaker 1: it holds up for Seattle. If that part fails, the
- 18:09Speaker 1: whole offense will fail.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Say travels, We'll talk to you on Monday. Should be fun.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Yeah, enjoy the weekend. I'll talk to Monday.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Thank you, Greg Bell, our Seahawks insider again. Follow them
- 18:19Speaker 2: at g Bel Seattle and Thenewstribune dot com. He'll have
- 18:22Speaker 2: those keys written out for you a little bit later
- 18:24Speaker 2: on today, and I would imagine within the hour there
- 18:27Speaker 2: at the Newstribune dot com for our part. His segment
- 18:30Speaker 2: brought to you by Dellacado Family Wines. They offer a
- 18:33Speaker 2: portfolio of premium wines from a selection of the most
- 18:36Speaker 2: desirable vineyards from notable wine growing regions in California, Germany,
- 18:41Speaker 2: and Chile. The wine winery harvest grapes from more than
- 18:45Speaker 2: six thousand acres of estate vineyards in California's Napa Low Die,
- 18:49Speaker 2: Monterey and Sonoma regions to craft wines that express the
- 18:53Speaker 2: diversity of these appellations. All right, coming up next Factor
- 18:57Speaker 2: Fiction at seven thirty five Ashleys today and we'll hear
- 19:01Speaker 2: from Rick Neweisle before the college football weekend gets underway
- 19:04Speaker 2: right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Fact to Fiction coming your way. It's seven thirty five.
- 19:20Speaker 2: It is Ashley's pick today. Don't know where she's gonna go.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Maybe she goes NFL, maybe she goes college football. Certainly
- 19:26Speaker 2: a lot of good games to choose from in the
- 19:27Speaker 2: college football world. The SEC this weekend particularly fascinating, and
- 19:33Speaker 2: iim do you have the college football playoff rankings? Four
- 19:36Speaker 2: teams involved in that picture in two different games? You
- 19:41Speaker 2: also have. And I don't like the fact that Oklahoma
- 19:44Speaker 2: and Texas are even in the SEC to begin with,
- 19:46Speaker 2: but it sure has given us a blue blood bath
- 19:50Speaker 2: to view this weekend. Blue Blood's Oklahoma and Texas will
- 19:55Speaker 2: be taken on Alabama and Georgia respectively this Saturday. I
- 20:00Speaker 2: asked coach knu Heizel about.
- 20:01Speaker 6: The matchups, incredible blue blood matchups and for the boys
- 20:05Speaker 6: that are coming from the Big twelve, there must wins
- 20:10Speaker 6: If they find ways to win both at Georgia and
- 20:14Speaker 6: at Alabama, they'll be right back in that College Football playoff.
- 20:18Speaker 6: They're sitting right off the right off the line of
- 20:22Speaker 6: demarcation there because an ACC team and a group of
- 20:26Speaker 6: five team have to be in there. They were ranked
- 20:29Speaker 6: eleven and twelve last week, so they are right on
- 20:33Speaker 6: the cusp of getting there, and these would be signature wins.
- 20:36Speaker 6: Neither of them can really afford a loss, given that
- 20:38Speaker 6: they've fought. Both lost twice. Oklahoma of course, having one
- 20:43Speaker 6: of those losses against Texas just behind Texas, but both
- 20:47Speaker 6: have stalwart defenses and these are going to be great games.
- 20:52Speaker 2: USC is coming off a nice win over Northwestern. They've
- 20:55Speaker 2: got Oregon looming though. Is this a trap game against
- 21:00Speaker 2: I mean, normally trapped games aren't against ranked opponents who
- 21:03Speaker 2: are coming off a pretty solid effort against Oregon. But nonetheless,
- 21:07Speaker 2: are they going to be looking ahead to the Ducks.
- 21:10Speaker 6: If this game were in Kinnick Stadium, I would be
- 21:13Speaker 6: taking in Iowa all day long. But because it's in
- 21:17Speaker 6: the Coliseum, I think se will have enough in their offense.
- 21:23Speaker 6: They handled Michigan, which is a pretty stout defense at home.
- 21:28Speaker 6: I think that they'll handle business against Iowa.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Full conversation with coach new Eisel that we had on
- 21:34Speaker 2: Tuesday available at ninety three to three KJR dot com.
- 21:38Speaker 2: And we'll have our big ten pickups in preview segment
- 21:41Speaker 2: today at eight forty five, and we'll hear from Cam
- 21:44Speaker 2: Cleveland about the Huskies and the boiler Makers at eight
- 21:47Speaker 2: o'clock in the Friday OCHO. But yeah, we're getting We're
- 21:50Speaker 2: getting to it now, We're getting to it.
- 21:52Speaker 6: Yeah we are.
- 21:54Speaker 2: I mean, that's an olympree. That's a playoff game for Oklahoma.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Oklahoma's got to get in, got to beat They can't
- 21:59Speaker 2: lose again. Texas might be able to lose because they
- 22:03Speaker 2: still have to face Georgia this Saturday and Texas A
- 22:06Speaker 2: and M. I mean, and if they can win one
- 22:09Speaker 2: of those two, then even with three losses, they might
- 22:14Speaker 2: have the resume to still get into the tournament. But
- 22:17Speaker 2: those are two games that we wouldn't have had if
- 22:21Speaker 2: Oklahoma and Texas didn't join the SEC. Even though I
- 22:24Speaker 2: still hate it. All right, let's play some factor fiction.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Where's that to go?
- 22:29Speaker 5: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
- 22:31Speaker 5: thousand bucks and the ten.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Thousand dollars grand prize.
- 22:35Speaker 5: It's Factor Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino and
- 22:40Speaker 5: hotel where every Day Feels Lucky. Fact Door Fiction is
- 22:44Speaker 5: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
- 22:50Speaker 2: You know what I said, I didn't know where Ashley
- 22:51Speaker 2: was going. I really don't know where Ashley is going
- 22:54Speaker 2: with it. Ashley didn't know where she was going. Oh okay,
- 22:57Speaker 2: all right, she's got figured out. Where are you going?
- 23:00Speaker 7: We're going to the NFL and I actually had this
- 23:02Speaker 7: game as one of the possibilities the last time I picked.
- 23:04Speaker 7: No one's picked it yet, and I'm still feeling pretty
- 23:06Speaker 7: good about it. So Cincinnati's heading to Pittsburgh, little Bengals
- 23:11Speaker 7: Steelers matchup.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Bengals beat them the first time they did and it
- 23:15Speaker 2: was a very close game.
- 23:16Speaker 7: And Cincinnati does not have a good record, but they
- 23:18Speaker 7: have kept most of their games very close. Okay, they
- 23:22Speaker 7: are six point underdogs at Pittsburgh, and I feel that
- 23:24Speaker 7: as a little much.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Give me Cincinnati plus the six at Pittsburgh. I wouldn't
- 23:30Speaker 2: be surprised if they want out right, I would hope
- 23:31Speaker 2: they will, and then I'll be extra right. Do we
- 23:35Speaker 2: get points for being extra right, yeah, make it not close,
- 23:39Speaker 2: but you will take the points. I will, okay, And
- 23:41Speaker 2: it's six six okay, So there you go. There's your pick.
- 23:45Speaker 2: Ashley is saying that there's no way that the Steelers
- 23:49Speaker 2: are beating the Bengals by six points or more this Sunday.
- 23:53Speaker 2: I don't care if it is at home. So Flacco
- 23:56Speaker 2: versus Rogers again, combined age. And I don't know if
- 24:01Speaker 2: I've got the math right of a thousand and six years?
- 24:05Speaker 2: Oh is it off a little bit? Well? That does
- 24:10Speaker 2: in factor into factor fiction. The one was that did
- 24:13Speaker 2: you carry the one I did? I did several times.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I think. All right, So the Cincinnati Bengals getting six
- 24:20Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh, that is the pick. If you agree with it,
- 24:23Speaker 2: text fact to four nine four five one. If you
- 24:26Speaker 2: disagree with it, text fiction to four nine four five one.
- 24:29Speaker 2: If you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
- 24:32Speaker 2: at the end of the week. And oh, by the way,
- 24:34Speaker 2: it's the end of the week, so you're running out
- 24:36Speaker 2: of opportunities to get into this drawing for one thousand
- 24:39Speaker 2: dollars in cash. Every time you're right, we put your
- 24:43Speaker 2: name into that hat for that drawing. So make sure
- 24:48Speaker 2: you're playing every single time we play, and no time
- 24:51Speaker 2: like the present Cincinnati Bengals getting six at Pittsburgh. Ashley
- 24:55Speaker 2: says they're at least going to cover. They might even
- 24:57Speaker 2: win outright. If you agree fact to four nine four
- 25:01Speaker 2: five one. If you disagree, it's fiction to four nine
- 25:03Speaker 2: four to five to one, and ten thousand dollars could
- 25:06Speaker 2: be yours if you end up winning Factor fiction this year.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Right here at kja R. It's all brought to you
- 25:12Speaker 2: by our brand new sponsor, Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel.

- 25:49Speaker 1: There you go.
- 25:50Speaker 2: All right. Coming up next, more on the Seahawks and
- 25:53Speaker 2: the Rams. Something that the Rams have never been able
- 25:57Speaker 2: to prepare for, the email worry effect. Next on KJR,
- 26:20Speaker 2: Chuck Powbuggy Jacobson and Ashley Ryan with you the Friday,
- 26:23Speaker 2: Oh Chow comes your way at the top of the hour,
- 26:25Speaker 2: eight o'clock. We do it every Friday. Also, Hugh Millan
- 26:28Speaker 2: will be with us x's and o's at nine Mike
- 26:30Speaker 2: Holmgrian at nine thirty Plenty to discuss with those gentlemen
- 26:34Speaker 2: about the Seahawks Rams on Sunday. Two teams, man, I mean,
- 26:37Speaker 2: they're just flying high into this. I mean, we got
- 26:40Speaker 2: a matchup of two teams tied at the top of
- 26:42Speaker 2: the division half more than halfway through the season. They're
- 26:46Speaker 2: both top five in offense, both top five and defense.
- 26:51Speaker 2: They're smoking their opponents as of late. So they're not
- 26:54Speaker 2: just coming in on winning streaks. They're coming in having
- 26:56Speaker 2: dominated their most recent opponents and so and they're just
- 27:00Speaker 2: two teams flying high heading into Sunday in Los Angeles.
- 27:04Speaker 2: And it really does mean. I mean, I know that
- 27:08Speaker 2: Bucky and Ashley don't think that I do enough on
- 27:10Speaker 2: the draft. Definitely not. I think that, I mean, they
- 27:15Speaker 2: try to push me to go further this year, further, buddy,
- 27:20Speaker 2: But I think that I put a nice amount of
- 27:25Speaker 2: draft coverage out there for this show.
- 27:27Speaker 4: I think it's definitely sufficient.
- 27:30Speaker 2: I mean, you could probably do a little more, but
- 27:33Speaker 2: it really does. I mean, it is really is the key.
- 27:36Speaker 2: And I realized that they traded for Matthew Stafford and
- 27:39Speaker 2: they've signed Avante Adams this offseason, and they certainly have
- 27:42Speaker 2: done a good job outside of the draft, which you
- 27:49Speaker 2: also have to add that touch to completing your roster.
- 27:53Speaker 2: But my goodness, the Rams and back to back drafts
- 27:57Speaker 2: added that Byron Young in the third round in twenty
- 28:00Speaker 2: twenty three, and then Kobe Turner later in the third round.
- 28:04Speaker 2: And in the next year they got Jared Vers in
- 28:06Speaker 2: the first, Braden Fisk in the second, Kenchin's in the
- 28:11Speaker 2: like the fifth, Kobe Durant. During that, I mean, in
- 28:15Speaker 2: a two year stretch, they added six starters to their
- 28:19Speaker 2: defense in the draft, a defense that is a top five,
- 28:24Speaker 2: maybe top two defense in the entire National Football League.
- 28:28Speaker 2: And look what John Schneider's done in the last couple
- 28:31Speaker 2: of drafts as well. I mean our draft this year,
- 28:35Speaker 2: I mean, we might be talking about eventually one of
- 28:38Speaker 2: the great drafts in the history of this franchise. The
- 28:42Speaker 2: way that Zabel is not giving up a sack so
- 28:44Speaker 2: far this year and nick Eman Woorri to get him
- 28:47Speaker 2: early in the second round. And believe me, there are
- 28:51Speaker 2: really smart people named Hugh Millen and others that think
- 28:54Speaker 2: nick Emon Wari is not just going to be a star,
- 28:58Speaker 2: is already a star and might end up being a superstar.
- 29:01Speaker 2: So you do do still have to build through the draft,
- 29:04Speaker 2: a man, these two teams have knocked that out.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Of the park here the last couple of years. Yeah,
- 29:09Speaker 4: the I mean it's every sport. I think you better
- 29:12Speaker 4: be good in the draft or you're gonna have some
- 29:14Speaker 4: off seasons because inevitable you can't keep If you do
- 29:16Speaker 4: well one year or two years and all of a
- 29:18Speaker 4: sudden you have some budding stars and eventual stars, then
- 29:21Speaker 4: you have to pay iman. Especially in a game like
- 29:25Speaker 4: the NFL where there's a salary cap, you can't keep
- 29:27Speaker 4: them all and so you better replenish what you lose.
- 29:31Speaker 2: The Rams have done well.
- 29:32Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't that long ago that we were
- 29:34Speaker 4: talking about how does this team just keep doing like
- 29:37Speaker 4: it felt like they were kicking the can down the road,
- 29:39Speaker 4: or that eventually this has to come to an end.
- 29:41Speaker 2: And they were absolutely going to be facing a rebuild.
- 29:45Speaker 2: But when you draft as well as they've drafted, you
- 29:47Speaker 2: get to skip that part. And they even lost Aaron
- 29:50Speaker 2: Donald and unexpectedly in this process, who were probably gonna
- 29:54Speaker 2: sign before the game tomorrow, so he can wreck their craft.
- 29:57Speaker 2: But I mean, when you draft that, well, guess what,
- 30:01Speaker 2: you don't have to suffer the pains of rebuilding. Yeah,
- 30:04Speaker 2: but how many people draft that?
- 30:06Speaker 1: Well?
- 30:06Speaker 2: Good lord?
- 30:07Speaker 4: Yeah, well they went, they won the Super Bowl and
- 30:10Speaker 4: then basically the next year they had the Super Bowl hangover,
- 30:14Speaker 4: and you thought, oh, here, there it is. Now they're
- 30:16Speaker 4: going to have to rebuild, and they boom right back
- 30:18Speaker 4: to like ten and seven and making the playoffs and
- 30:20Speaker 4: winning games in the playoffs, and yeah, it's it's hard
- 30:23Speaker 4: to imagine I'm going through what would be a rebuild, but.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Essentially all it was was a reload, and Nakua in
- 30:32Speaker 2: that process just let's just grab him in the fifth
- 30:36Speaker 2: round in twenty twenty three. I didn't even put him
- 30:39Speaker 2: down on the list.
- 30:39Speaker 7: Yeah, he's been pretty decent.
- 30:41Speaker 2: My word. That's that's some drafting right there. That's some
- 30:45Speaker 2: fancy ass drafting right there. Sneadah, Yeah, jerks, But we've
- 30:50Speaker 2: been doing pretty well ourselves the last couple of drafts.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Now that we got that Carol guy out.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Of the way.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Oh, poor Uncle Pete. So true. But this is something
- 31:01Speaker 2: that is you don't have to prepare for an emon
- 31:05Speaker 2: worry every week. I mean, this guy is just I mean,
- 31:09Speaker 2: he's tack He has a sack last week. He led
- 31:12Speaker 2: us and tackles last week with nine. He led us
- 31:15Speaker 2: in solo tackles with five. He had two. Another pressure
- 31:21Speaker 2: on the quarterback. He was defending running backs coming out
- 31:24Speaker 2: of the backfield. He was running, he was defending tight
- 31:27Speaker 2: ends going across the middle. He can cover receivers if
- 31:31Speaker 2: you need him. To hell with some of these physical
- 31:34Speaker 2: wide receivers the Rams have. We might see Eman Worri
- 31:37Speaker 2: lock up against one of them a time or two.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I mean, it's just incredible what this young man can do.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Well.
- 31:43Speaker 4: His physical stuff is something that we heard about or
- 31:46Speaker 4: even knew about, with your you know, barely sufficient draft
- 31:49Speaker 4: information that we got.
- 31:51Speaker 2: You know, everybody knew this guy was something a step
- 31:54Speaker 2: up barely sufficient.
- 31:57Speaker 4: But I still use sufficient plus might be the right
- 32:01Speaker 4: word for it. But well, well that's neither here nor there.
- 32:03Speaker 4: I would say that I think his athletic stuff is
- 32:06Speaker 4: something and yet you kind of thought, Okay, coming in,
- 32:09Speaker 4: how long is it gonna be for him to pick
- 32:11Speaker 4: up all the stuff that Mike McDonald and this defense requires.
- 32:15Speaker 4: And yet Greg was reporting to us like early in
- 32:18Speaker 4: training camp, and we could see it ourselves like, doesn't
- 32:21Speaker 4: look like it's don't take him any.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Time at all.
- 32:23Speaker 4: There was a couple of weeks ago where he made
- 32:24Speaker 4: that one tackle we talked about a little bit where
- 32:26Speaker 4: it was like he was shedding a block with one
- 32:28Speaker 4: arm and then just tackled Deebo Samuel.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel with one arm, not too too at well, yeah,
- 32:33Speaker 2: Deebo friggin' Samuel. Yeah.
- 32:35Speaker 4: And so I mean he does some special things, and
- 32:37Speaker 4: yet you kind of feel like, Okay, when is the
- 32:40Speaker 4: time that a you know, somebody on the other side
- 32:44Speaker 4: is going to see some sort of deficiency something that
- 32:46Speaker 4: he does, a rookie thing where he has a tendency
- 32:49Speaker 4: to fall for this and then they take advantage of it.
- 32:52Speaker 4: This will be a good week to see if because
- 32:54Speaker 4: you know that a guy like McVeagh is going to
- 32:56Speaker 4: be like, Okay, where's the pigeon?
- 32:57Speaker 2: Is he not going to be the pigeon? No, I'll
- 33:00Speaker 2: promise you but he might find a crack in his game,
- 33:02Speaker 2: but he ain't going to be no pigeon. No, well,
- 33:04Speaker 2: he's not going to go after him all the time.
- 33:05Speaker 4: But there could be a few plays where it sets
- 33:08Speaker 4: up like we're going to do this, and then we're
- 33:10Speaker 4: going to do it again. And then I have a
- 33:12Speaker 4: feeling that regardless of how those two plays go, he's
- 33:15Speaker 4: going to do that again, and we're going to do
- 33:17Speaker 4: this on it, We're going to have this type of thing.
- 33:19Speaker 4: I would be willing to bet there's going to be
- 33:20Speaker 4: something where you're not going after this guy, but you're
- 33:23Speaker 4: hoping to maybe set up some sort of tendency. But
- 33:25Speaker 4: as up to this point, you know, when he's been healthy,
- 33:28Speaker 4: he's been on the field, he's been an impact maker.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Sure, I have just as much faith, if not more faith, Ashley,
- 33:34Speaker 2: that it's Mike McDonald that's going to use Emon Worry
- 33:37Speaker 2: to expose some cracks in the Rams offense. Yeah, just
- 33:41Speaker 2: as much, maybe not more, but just as much faith. No,
- 33:43Speaker 2: And I would think so too.
- 33:44Speaker 7: And I think you know, you could see how much
- 33:47Speaker 7: McDonald was itching to get Emon Worri back after he
- 33:49Speaker 7: went out so quickly to start the season.
- 33:51Speaker 2: Nil to the Yeah.
- 33:52Speaker 7: Yeah, so now imagine, oh gosh, that doesn't make me
- 33:55Speaker 7: sad to imagine like what he where he could be
- 33:57Speaker 7: had Mike McDonald had those extra four was it four
- 33:59Speaker 7: five games?
- 34:01Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it was like two or three. Okay, yeah,
- 34:04Speaker 2: that's in front of me.
- 34:05Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't either, But I just it's been fun
- 34:07Speaker 7: to see already how far he's come, just in this situation,
- 34:11Speaker 7: and I this is where he's gonna pull out all
- 34:14Speaker 7: the stops on Sunday.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Oh man, this is chess match, this is this is
- 34:18Speaker 2: what's fun about sports. As Bucky often says, people that
- 34:20Speaker 2: don't like sports are weird, all right? Coming up next Friday,
