- 2:09Speaker 3: I got outside a little bit with the kids, and yeah,
- 2:13Speaker 3: I watched a lot of football. I watched a lot
- 2:15Speaker 3: of time, too much football.
- 2:18Speaker 2: I was just like, I'm done with this, and then
- 2:22Speaker 2: Lions Eagles came on. I'm like, this is pretty intriguing.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I guess my ass will continue to turn to mush.
- 2:29Speaker 2: That's fine.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Yeah, like a couple more hours.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Then I get done with it, take a shower, and
- 2:33Speaker 2: I go hang out in the living room and like
- 2:35Speaker 2: fall asleep immediately.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, what a day.
- 2:38Speaker 7: What a day?
- 2:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's my wife doesn't ask anymore about
- 2:44Speaker 3: what games I have to watch. She just assumes if
- 2:46Speaker 3: I'm watching it, then I need to watch it. My kids,
- 2:49Speaker 3: on the other hand, Yeah, my kids on the other hand, are.
- 2:52Speaker 8: Like, Dad, do you have to watch this one too? Yep, yep,
- 2:57Speaker 8: I do. This one is a must watch.
- 3:00Speaker 3: But then yeah, got down to the Detroit game and
- 3:02Speaker 3: it was like, don't have to, but I'm gonna. Ah,
- 3:07Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Yeah, they wanted to watch Monday Night Raw.

- 3:13Speaker 2: Look, okay, hey it's Dan Campbell. It is Monday Night Raw.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Kinda yeah, that's right, very unpredictable. Never know when he's
- 3:21Speaker 2: gonna come off the top rope and go for it
- 3:23Speaker 2: on fourth and thirty two from his own fourgy Well,
- 3:28Speaker 2: welcome into the show. We got a lot to cover today.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Of course, some Seahawks rams will be the primary focus.
- 3:34Speaker 2: It is a Monday morning quarterback day, and all of
- 3:36Speaker 2: our Titans of Analysis will be here today to break
- 3:39Speaker 2: it all down for you. It is a loss twenty
- 3:42Speaker 2: one to nineteen to the Los Angeles Rams in Los Angeles,
- 3:46Speaker 2: and I realize all the world is screaming Sam Darnold
- 3:49Speaker 2: doesn't have what it takes in big games.
- 3:52Speaker 9: Man.
- 3:52Speaker 2: I just don't see it that way as we sit
- 3:55Speaker 2: here on a Monday morning. I mean, I don't know,
- 3:58Speaker 2: maybe I'm crazy, but I saw a head coach who
- 4:04Speaker 2: pretty much took Matt Stafford and Sean McVay to work,
- 4:07Speaker 2: took him to school. Yesterday. After the first quarter, Matt
- 4:11Speaker 2: Stafford finished with one hundred and thirty passing yards. He's
- 4:13Speaker 2: been the best quarterback in the National Football League until
- 4:17Speaker 2: the second quarter of yesterday's game. I saw a team
- 4:21Speaker 2: that had lost the turnover battle four to one. And
- 4:27Speaker 2: I saw a team yesterday that, if not for a
- 4:31Speaker 2: punt that flucishly went out of bounds, that the one
- 4:34Speaker 2: yard line and you had to go ninety well not
- 4:36Speaker 2: ninety nine yards, but you had to go that much
- 4:39Speaker 2: further to get into field goal range with little time remaining.
- 4:42Speaker 2: A team that went one in four in the red
- 4:44Speaker 2: zone and settled for field goals all day long, a
- 4:47Speaker 2: team that nearly doubled up the yardage output of the
- 4:51Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams yesterday, that held the ball for nearly
- 4:55Speaker 2: twice the amount of time that the Mighty La Rams.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I mean, they faced a great team yesterday, a great offense,
- 5:02Speaker 2: a great defense, and despite all of that that happened,
- 5:06Speaker 2: they found themselves with a chance to win the game
- 5:08Speaker 2: late on a sixty one yard field goal which Jason
- 5:11Speaker 2: Myers would have made from seventy earlier in the game,
- 5:14Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, just didn't hit it. True, I mean,
- 5:17Speaker 2: despite the frustration, and yeah, I think Sam Darnold cost
- 5:21Speaker 2: us the game yesterday, and I think he'd be the
- 5:23Speaker 2: first one to admit that with his four interceptions. But
- 5:27Speaker 2: despite it all, I kind of came away with it.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Maybe I'm crazy. We're better than this team and we're
- 5:34Speaker 2: gonna show it later on this year. So yeah, we're
- 5:37Speaker 2: a game and a half out of first place at
- 5:39Speaker 2: this point. But to me, after the first quarter, Mike McDonald,
- 5:44Speaker 2: everything settled in and I believe that we just completely
- 5:48Speaker 2: outplayed them and yet lost the game by two points.
- 5:51Speaker 2: That's how I feel this Monday morning.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Well, I you know how I look at the glass
- 5:55Speaker 3: half full for the most part. I mean I came
- 5:57Speaker 3: away with far more positive thoughts than negative thoughts. I
- 6:02Speaker 3: mean the fact that, yeah, your quarterback threw four picks
- 6:05Speaker 3: and you still basically had a chance to win right
- 6:08Speaker 3: down to the end.
- 6:09Speaker 8: It says something.
- 6:10Speaker 3: I mean, most of the time, most teams, you just
- 6:13Speaker 3: put throw any two teams out there, and if one
- 6:15Speaker 3: of them throws four interceptions, it's not typically you're not
- 6:19Speaker 3: typically going to have a last second chance at winning
- 6:21Speaker 3: the ball game. That's just you're usually going to lose
- 6:23Speaker 3: by double digits, it seems. And so I mean, I
- 6:27Speaker 3: don't know if I'd go so far as to say
- 6:28Speaker 3: I felt like you're better or the Seahawks are better
- 6:32Speaker 3: than them.
- 6:32Speaker 8: But they controlled the ball. I mean, they moved the ball.
- 6:36Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was it was just when they
- 6:39Speaker 3: got down in the red zone they ended up having
- 6:41Speaker 3: to settle for field goals. You know of four times
- 6:44Speaker 3: I think it was. And then there was a couple
- 6:46Speaker 3: other times where you're getting right inside a field goal
- 6:49Speaker 3: range or close to it at least, and you have
- 6:52Speaker 3: a pick, and yet the defense bote up to only
- 6:55Speaker 3: give up twenty one points to a team that's been rolling.
- 6:57Speaker 8: The way that they have.
- 6:58Speaker 3: There's definitely positives to look at. It was a bad
- 7:02Speaker 3: game by Sam. There was some you know, just kind
- 7:04Speaker 3: of off, you know, it was it was off a
- 7:06Speaker 3: little bit timing wise. Throw a few of those picks
- 7:10Speaker 3: were felt like it was late, you know, like an
- 7:13Speaker 3: extra hitch, and all of a sudden they were jumping
- 7:15Speaker 3: in on the first hitch. And so, yeah, there's there's
- 7:17Speaker 3: a lot of things to clean up. That's why you
- 7:18Speaker 3: end up losing that ball game. I definitely wouldn't think
- 7:21Speaker 3: that they're flying home from Los Angeles thinking, man, we're
- 7:25Speaker 3: just not on the same level as those guys. I'm
- 7:26Speaker 3: sure that they're thinking, man, we had every opportunity to
- 7:29Speaker 3: win that ball game.
- 7:29Speaker 2: We should have won that game.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Yeah, and they have to be thinking that, I know.
- 7:33Speaker 6: I think Leonard Williams after the game was interviewed and
- 7:35Speaker 6: said like, yeah, we're ready. You know, I'm already waiting
- 7:37Speaker 6: for them to come back up to Seattle, like I
- 7:40Speaker 6: think they think. I think they let that one get
- 7:42Speaker 6: away that should have been our win. And especially after
- 7:45Speaker 6: the way the game started, you stop them on their
- 7:47Speaker 6: first possession and then to have that interception run back
- 7:51Speaker 6: all the way to the three was it the three
- 7:53Speaker 6: yard liners? You know, at that point, the defense is like, oh,
- 7:56Speaker 6: we just took care of business, you know, and they
- 7:58Speaker 6: and they almost took care of business again. I mean
- 8:00Speaker 6: they did technically holding him to a field goal there,
- 8:02Speaker 6: but uh or no, that was a touchdown. But yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 6: But I just think there were so many positive things,
- 8:09Speaker 6: especially defensively, to take away from that game. And then
- 8:13Speaker 6: even with Donald throwing those four interceptions and still having
- 8:17Speaker 6: the composure to lead the team at the end of
- 8:20Speaker 6: the game to have a chance to win, it was good.
- 8:22Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 8:22Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, that's yes, he threw four interceptions.
- 8:27Speaker 2: He cost us the game. Yeah, And if you ask Sam,
- 8:30Speaker 2: he's gonna say, I can't do that, right, you know.
- 8:33Speaker 2: And yet that gunslinger mentality that he's played with all
- 8:37Speaker 2: season long, that everybody's been raving about and I'm not
- 8:42Speaker 2: just talking about here in Seattle everywhere to he took
- 8:47Speaker 2: that same mentality in and I didn't see a guy
- 8:49Speaker 2: that at any point was starting to question himself. Mike
- 8:52Speaker 2: McDonald and Clint Kubiak have clearly given them the instructions
- 8:56Speaker 2: go out there and rip it. Even after the game,
- 8:58Speaker 2: Mike McDonald was asked Sam Darnold's performance, he said, fine
- 9:03Speaker 2: with it, went out there and ripped it. Those were
- 9:05Speaker 2: the words that he used in the postgame press conference.
- 9:09Speaker 2: And certainly no head coach wants to lose the turnover
- 9:13Speaker 2: battle four to one. No head coach is ever going
- 9:15Speaker 2: to give a gold star to somebody that throws four interceptions.
- 9:19Speaker 2: But despite the four interceptions, Sam was Sam's game never
- 9:24Speaker 2: really changed. He led a touchdown drive in the fourth
- 9:27Speaker 2: quarter and let a feel goal attempt drive in the
- 9:30Speaker 2: fourth quarter, which, again, if that ball doesn't somehow go
- 9:32Speaker 2: out at the one, I think we win the game.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I think that if you're starting at the twenty, I
- 9:38Speaker 2: mean nineteen yards difference. Yeah, Now to mention the backs
- 9:41Speaker 2: against the wall feeling that you have to play with
- 9:44Speaker 2: when you're at the one yard line, you can't just
- 9:46Speaker 2: come out and do your normal two minute drill at
- 9:49Speaker 2: that point. You got to get out of harm's way
- 9:50Speaker 2: first and that takes time. So for him to lead
- 9:54Speaker 2: basically two scoring drives despite throwing four interceptions in the game,
- 9:59Speaker 2: I just didn't see a guy whose confidence was shaken.
- 10:02Speaker 2: I think he threw some ill timed passes. Other than that, Yeah,
- 10:08Speaker 2: he I mean, he certainly, I mean led more drives
- 10:12Speaker 2: than Matt Stafford did yesterday. I watched Jared Goff play
- 10:15Speaker 2: the Eagles last night, Mushy button all, and I saw
- 10:20Speaker 2: a guy that lost his confidence, that couldn't complete a
- 10:23Speaker 2: pass that you know, look like he was afraid to
- 10:27Speaker 2: get hit, was afraid to make the mistake. Where I
- 10:31Speaker 2: didn't see that from Sam Donald. Yes, Sam Donald's fault
- 10:36Speaker 2: that we lost the game. He doesn't throw those four interceptions,
- 10:38Speaker 2: Seahawks probably win the game. But I just, I mean,
- 10:42Speaker 2: I just heard this narrative like that everything's on the
- 10:45Speaker 2: line for Sam Like we're gonna sit here on a
- 10:47Speaker 2: Monday morning and ask, Okay, what does this mean about
- 10:51Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I think he played the exact same way.
- 10:54Speaker 2: He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
- 10:56Speaker 2: a couple times too many, playing very aggressive football, and
- 11:01Speaker 2: I don't think anything changes in my opinion about Sam Donald.
- 11:05Speaker 2: He's been playing that way and playing very well all
- 11:07Speaker 2: season long. I don't feel any differently about him. Am
- 11:11Speaker 2: I worried that Sam Donald's not the right guy the
- 11:14Speaker 2: next time we face the Rams or to try to
- 11:16Speaker 2: lead us in the second half of the season. Not
- 11:18Speaker 2: for one second, so played them, made four reckless plays
- 11:23Speaker 2: yesterday and the Rams caught every single one of them.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Other than that, though, he outplayed Matt Stafford, who's the
- 11:28Speaker 2: MVP of the National Football League right now.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it, I think that he just didn't. Yeah,
- 11:34Speaker 3: he had some mistakes, obviously, I think it was late
- 11:36Speaker 3: getting rid of a couple of them, and yet he
- 11:38Speaker 3: just if you do that, you put yourself in harm's way.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I do think that punt that you're talking about, I
- 11:45Speaker 3: mean that's about as perfect as you can possibly place it,
- 11:47Speaker 3: and then yet it's there's some luck involved with that,
- 11:51Speaker 3: and that did put you kind of behind the eight ball.
- 11:54Speaker 3: I think they only had what the one time out
- 11:56Speaker 3: left at that point as well, So it kind of
- 11:58Speaker 3: felt like, boy, you are it's gonna need your gonna
- 12:02Speaker 3: need a near perfect, you know, two minute offensive drive
- 12:07Speaker 3: to kind of get down there and get to where
- 12:08Speaker 3: you really feel good about the.
- 12:11Speaker 8: Game winning field goal.
- 12:13Speaker 3: And they had a couple mishaps here and there that
- 12:15Speaker 3: were just you know a couple of plays that didn't
- 12:17Speaker 3: weren't positive, and you didn't just go bing bing bing
- 12:19Speaker 3: and get right down.
- 12:20Speaker 8: There the way they could.
- 12:21Speaker 3: But Yeah, ultimately you, you floundered a little bit, You
- 12:25Speaker 3: had a couple of mistakes that ended up turning into
- 12:27Speaker 3: points for them and not points for you. In a
- 12:29Speaker 3: two point ball game, it doesn't take but one or
- 12:32Speaker 3: two things to change. I think that the team, the
- 12:36Speaker 3: rest of his teammates kind of feel like, dude, that's fine,
- 12:38Speaker 3: that's gonna happen, right, I mean, is for is a
- 12:41Speaker 3: bad game, right threes are really is still a pretty
- 12:44Speaker 3: bad game. But you're gonna have some interceptions and over
- 12:46Speaker 3: the course of the season they're gonna accumulate. I think
- 12:50Speaker 3: that if anything, it would just be okay. If you
- 12:52Speaker 3: go out and he turns a ball over a bunch
- 12:55Speaker 3: of times against Tennessee, then it's a talking point.
- 12:57Speaker 8: That's then it's conversation.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Otherwise it's not a it's just a yeah, you had
- 13:01Speaker 3: a bad game, and really it was you were kind
- 13:03Speaker 3: of controlling the ball and you're playing against a really
- 13:05Speaker 3: good defense that gets really stout down in the red zone,
- 13:08Speaker 3: and so you're going you're when you're going against a
- 13:11Speaker 3: good team, sometimes they're going to make good plays and
- 13:14Speaker 3: if it if you combine it with poor timing or
- 13:16Speaker 3: just a bad decision on your part, like that jump pass.
- 13:19Speaker 3: You know, if you okay, it's just not what you
- 13:22Speaker 3: need to do right there. That's not the city that
- 13:24Speaker 3: doesn't call for that in that situation. Those are the
- 13:26Speaker 3: type of things, the small little things, and it's so
- 13:28Speaker 3: important for a quarterback to not do that because, yeah,
- 13:32Speaker 3: you find yourself in a very evenly matched ball game
- 13:34Speaker 3: coming up on the short end.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just keep going back to we
- 13:37Speaker 2: tell him to let it rip, and I think he
- 13:39Speaker 2: let it rip, and yeah he got I'll repeat this.
- 13:42Speaker 2: I think he got the hand caught in the cookie jar.
- 13:44Speaker 2: You you know you were a kid. I got a
- 13:46Speaker 2: lot more cookies than I got caught trying to slip cookies,
- 13:50Speaker 2: you know, when mom wasn't looking. I ate a lot
- 13:52Speaker 2: more cookies than I did get caught. And I think
- 13:55Speaker 2: he got caught yesterday. I mean I watched the Bills
- 13:57Speaker 2: Buccaneers game pretty much the entire thing. Baker Mayfield could
- 14:00Speaker 2: have thrown nine interceptions yesterday. Josh Allen could have thrown
- 14:03Speaker 2: eight interceptions yesterday, but not every single one of them
- 14:07Speaker 2: got caught by the defense. Sam Donald's four interception possibilities
- 14:12Speaker 2: got caught by the defense yesterday, and so Yeah, he's
- 14:16Speaker 2: got to wear it. And I'll be the first person
- 14:19Speaker 2: this morning to say, we win that game if Sam
- 14:22Speaker 2: Donald doesn't commit four turnovers. Yeah, okay.
- 14:24Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 14:25Speaker 2: But on the other hand, I think that I am
- 14:28Speaker 2: encouraged that he never really changed the way that he's
- 14:32Speaker 2: been playing all season long. And I think that's a
- 14:35Speaker 2: byproduct of Mike McDonald and Clint Kubiak. They got the
- 14:39Speaker 2: version of Sam Donald that they want to get, obviously,
- 14:43Speaker 2: with the obvious being we can't turn the ball over
- 14:46Speaker 2: that many times.
- 14:47Speaker 6: Yeah, And as you said, Sam would be the first
- 14:49Speaker 6: one to say that. I mean he probably that whole
- 14:52Speaker 6: flight home, just was replaying each one of those interceptions,
- 14:55Speaker 6: watching the video, just thinking why did I make that choice?
- 14:58Speaker 5: Why did I do that?
- 15:00Speaker 6: Because I mean I was sitting there yelling at the TV,
- 15:02Speaker 6: like what are you doing? There was a couple moments where,
- 15:06Speaker 6: at least on a couple of those interceptions where it
- 15:08Speaker 6: seemed like, were you actually just throwing it to the Rams?
- 15:11Speaker 6: I mean, there wasn't, but he was also under so
- 15:14Speaker 6: much pressure. But I mean, because we can't take away
- 15:16Speaker 6: from the Rams defense at all.
- 15:18Speaker 2: The Rams that made grazy.
- 15:19Speaker 6: Yeah, they were phenomenal and if you would have told
- 15:22Speaker 6: me when that game started and they scored two touchdowns
- 15:26Speaker 6: and we were only scoring field goals, if you would
- 15:28Speaker 6: have told me at the end of the game we
- 15:29Speaker 6: would have been kicking the ball for a chance to
- 15:32Speaker 6: win it, I would have laughed at you.
- 15:35Speaker 2: And that has everything to do with Mike McDonald, which
- 15:37Speaker 2: I think is the other storyline here, because the other
- 15:41Speaker 2: thing that we spend even more time on last week,
- 15:45Speaker 2: more than what does this say about Sam Donald if
- 15:47Speaker 2: he doesn't get the job done? We spent very little
- 15:50Speaker 2: time on that, even though it did become a topic. Well,
- 15:53Speaker 2: we spent the majority of the week talking about is
- 15:55Speaker 2: McDonald versus McVeigh and McDonald won. I mean McDonald just
- 16:01Speaker 2: completely out schemed. I mean Matt Stafford has not looked
- 16:04Speaker 2: confused all season long. He was confused for three quarters.
- 16:08Speaker 2: I mean he was handed a ball at the three
- 16:10Speaker 2: yard line, it took him four plays to get it
- 16:12Speaker 2: in on a touchdown, and then they had a couple
- 16:14Speaker 2: of other touchdown drives. Other than that, Matt Stafford was
- 16:17Speaker 2: throwing dirting a lot of balls, throwing a lot of
- 16:20Speaker 2: balls away. He barely completed fifty percent of his passes yesterday.
- 16:24Speaker 2: He didn't say take a sack, and he didn't commit
- 16:26Speaker 2: a turnover. And maybe that goes to a lot more
- 16:29Speaker 2: experience than what Sam Donald has playing in big games
- 16:33Speaker 2: and just playing period. But he looked as confused as
- 16:38Speaker 2: I've seen Matt Stafford look in a Rams uniform yesterday.
- 16:41Speaker 2: And that's all has to do with Mike McDonald and
- 16:44Speaker 2: his defense. He kept Matt Stafford from getting into a
- 16:48Speaker 2: rhythm again pretty much for three quarters yesterday.
- 16:53Speaker 3: It was a well coached game, I thought. I felt
- 16:55Speaker 3: like both teams came out and did some things. I mean,
- 16:59Speaker 3: it's hard for me to compare the just the stats
- 17:02Speaker 3: side by side, simply because one of the positives that
- 17:05Speaker 3: you take out of a loss is how well Seattle
- 17:08Speaker 3: did move the ball against their defense. Now again, didn't
- 17:11Speaker 3: do a whole heck of a lot except for kickfield
- 17:13Speaker 3: goals when they got down there for the first three
- 17:16Speaker 3: quarters until that that final touchdown that they gave them
- 17:19Speaker 3: the chance. And and yet so to me, it's kind
- 17:21Speaker 3: of like, well, the Rams defense is pretty good, it's
- 17:24Speaker 3: a it is a really good defense, and yet the
- 17:26Speaker 3: offense showed up and controlled the ball. And then the
- 17:29Speaker 3: way in which the score went down. It's not like
- 17:32Speaker 3: I think the Rams were by any stretch thinking oh,
- 17:34Speaker 3: we can take our foot off the gas. And yet
- 17:36Speaker 3: there also was a we're just trying to methodically, you wanted,
- 17:39Speaker 3: they wanted to put together good drives, and when they would,
- 17:42Speaker 3: when they would get a couple first downs, then it
- 17:44Speaker 3: would stall out or it would the defense would end
- 17:47Speaker 3: up stopping them. So to me, it was the way
- 17:49Speaker 3: in which the score was of the game. I don't
- 17:52Speaker 3: necessarily compare the stats equal to each other because it's
- 17:55Speaker 3: just like, well, it's not like we were in prevent
- 17:58Speaker 3: defense and they were taking their foot off the gas.
- 18:00Speaker 2: That was three quarters worth. They had twelve first downs
- 18:03Speaker 2: for the entire game.
- 18:05Speaker 8: Yeah, they just didn't have But that's what I mean.
- 18:06Speaker 8: They just didn't have the ball.
- 18:08Speaker 9: I mean, it was like.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Away from them, or we kept it away from them. Offensively,
- 18:13Speaker 3: that's the part where that's where it seems like they're
- 18:15Speaker 3: not really too even steven things. But it's the same game,
- 18:20Speaker 3: I mean, you want to That's where I'm giving credit
- 18:23Speaker 3: to the Seahawks defense and to Mike McDonald because they
- 18:26Speaker 3: didn't allow them to sustain these seven minute drives that
- 18:29Speaker 3: I mean was it the third quarter or second quarter?
- 18:32Speaker 3: That was basically three drives a seven minute drive for
- 18:34Speaker 3: the Seahawks, and then they got the ball and punted,
- 18:37Speaker 3: and then another seven minute drive or the entire quarter
- 18:39Speaker 3: they had the ball, and so it was just one
- 18:41Speaker 3: of those. And yet at that point in time, it's
- 18:43Speaker 3: fourteen to nine going into halftime, So it was just like, wow,
- 18:46Speaker 3: you just felt like you you absolutely dominated that quarter
- 18:49Speaker 3: in particular, you had the ball the entire time, and
- 18:52Speaker 3: yet you still find yourself on the losing end. So
- 18:55Speaker 3: it's a It was a good game and definitely the
- 18:56Speaker 3: matchup of McVeigh versus McDonald lived up to the hype.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Wait for the rematch.
- 19:01Speaker 2: I can't wait for the analysis from our experts, which
- 19:04Speaker 2: is coming your way. Let's find out what's on tap?
- 19:09Speaker 8: What's on tep, what's on tap?
- 19:12Speaker 2: All right? Rams do win over the Seahawks twenty one
- 19:15Speaker 2: to nineteen, so they take an essence a game and
- 19:17Speaker 2: a half lead in the NFC West seven and three.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Seahawks will next play at Tennessee against the worst team
- 19:23Speaker 2: in the National Football their trap game. That will be
- 19:26Speaker 2: next Sunday, so you better bring it. Grace Zabel left
- 19:30Speaker 2: this game with an injury, and it did not look good,
- 19:32Speaker 2: and that is not a guy you want to lose.
- 19:34Speaker 2: So we'll get an update from Greg Bell at seven
- 19:37Speaker 2: oh five, and then at eight o'clock Hugh Millan will
- 19:39Speaker 2: join us with Monday Morning Quarterback Today. Mike Homem gonna
- 19:42Speaker 2: be with us at nine o'clock. So we've got two
- 19:45Speaker 2: and a half plus hours of analysis of yesterday's lost
- 19:49Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Rams. The Philadelphia Eagles won over
- 19:53Speaker 2: Detroit sixteen to nine late last night. Big controversial play
- 19:57Speaker 2: at the end, a pass interference which denied Detroit getting
- 20:01Speaker 2: the ball back and a chance to tie the game,
- 20:03Speaker 2: maybe even win the game the way that Dan Campbell
- 20:06Speaker 2: calls things, and instead it's a Philadelphia victory. Something we'll
- 20:11Speaker 2: talk to Gene Sterator about tomorrow. But we've got your
- 20:15Speaker 2: entire scoreboard coming up at six point thirty with cold
- 20:18Speaker 2: turkey sandwich aboard of scores. U dub gets back on
- 20:21Speaker 2: the winning track forty nine thirteen blowout win over Purdue Saturday,
- 20:26Speaker 2: But the big upset. The big talking point in college
- 20:29Speaker 2: football Saturday was Oklahoma upsetting Alabama. Oklahoma's jumped them in
- 20:34Speaker 2: the APE poll. They're up to eight. Alabama fell six
- 20:38Speaker 2: spots all the way down to number ten. Ohio State
- 20:41Speaker 2: is still ranked number one. We'll certainly talk more college
- 20:44Speaker 2: football tomorrow. Kraken have one two straight, including four to
- 20:48Speaker 2: one over San Jose Saturday night in front of Ashley Ryan.
- 20:52Speaker 2: They will play tomorrow at Detroit against the fighting Everett
- 20:56Speaker 2: Fitzhughes and Josh Naylor, which we will find time to
- 21:00Speaker 2: talk about today, but certainly designate it for more time tomorrow.
- 21:04Speaker 2: If you haven't heard great news Mariner fans. The first
- 21:08Speaker 2: free agent to sign this offseason, like legit free agent
- 21:12Speaker 2: is Josh Naylor, and he has decided to re sign
- 21:16Speaker 2: with the Seattle Mariners, a five year deal estimation between
- 21:20Speaker 2: ninety and one hundred million dollars. He has to pass
- 21:24Speaker 2: a physical today, but when you re sign with your
- 21:27Speaker 2: own team, they kind of know, Yeah.
- 21:29Speaker 5: They know what they're dealing with.
- 21:30Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't think that would be any kind
- 21:32Speaker 2: of a hurdle to have to clear. But today we
- 21:35Speaker 2: should finalize the Josh Naylor deal. He's going to remain.
- 21:39Speaker 2: A Seattle Mariner analysis coming your way later on in
- 21:42Speaker 2: the show. And finally, sad news, Kenny easily passed away
- 21:47Speaker 2: over the weekend and one of the all time great
- 21:49Speaker 2: players in NFL history, certainly one of the all time
- 21:52Speaker 2: great Seahawks. And so he left us too early. So
- 21:56Speaker 2: Kenny easily one of the great Seahawks passing away over
- 21:59Speaker 2: the weekend. All right, we'll get to a lot today.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Coming up next, cold Turkey sandwich. A board of scores
- 22:04Speaker 2: on Chucking Buck Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 22:09Speaker 10: Donald given time off his back, fuck gets intercepted. It's
- 22:13Speaker 10: Cameron Kinchins who made his name against Seattle last year.
- 22:17Speaker 10: Stretch play. Williams has a scene in More Cuts It
- 22:20Speaker 10: back Hensithe to ten inside the five, first and goal
- 22:25Speaker 10: at the one. Stafford has Adams. This time it's a touchdown.
- 22:30Speaker 10: Donald hit as he throws, it flutters and it's picks.
- 22:33Speaker 10: It's the Rent with the interception. Here's the fad looking
- 22:37Speaker 10: downfield for Smith and Jack Bob who plucked it with
- 22:40Speaker 10: one hand.
- 22:41Speaker 5: Jay S n second and ten.
- 22:44Speaker 10: There's Nikua paul is out. It is recovered by Seattle
- 22:51Speaker 10: Kirsten twenty. Donald zips one and it's a start interception.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Kitchens with his second.
- 22:57Speaker 11: Of the day.
- 22:58Speaker 10: Donald in trouble jump throw intercepted for the third time.
- 23:04Speaker 8: It's Walker.
- 23:05Speaker 10: It is a touchdown, the first of the day for
- 23:08Speaker 10: the Seahawks finally find the end zone. It's a one
- 23:12Speaker 10: score game with two twenty three to play. Shaheed watches
- 23:16Speaker 10: it bouts inside the five and out of bounds inside
- 23:20Speaker 10: the one. Wow eighth and Evans there's no way he's
- 23:24Speaker 10: ever made a better punt.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Tod Focks Television, Joe Davis and we can tell you
- 23:33Speaker 2: who you're rooting for. La Boy on the call there
- 23:36Speaker 2: with Greg Olsen yesterday. A lot of highlights, very good
- 23:40Speaker 2: entertaining football game. Unfortunately, Sam Darnold committed four turnovers in
- 23:45Speaker 2: the contest, and that certainly was the difference in the game,
- 23:48Speaker 2: as the Rams win twenty one to nineteen over the
- 23:51Speaker 2: Seahawks in Los Angeles. Despite the fact that the Seahawks
- 23:54Speaker 2: had one hundred and forty nine more passing yards, had
- 23:58Speaker 2: twenty six first downs to their twelve, possessed the ball
- 24:01Speaker 2: for almost twice the amount of time that the Rams did.
- 24:05Speaker 2: It was La that converted on fourth downs where Seahawks
- 24:09Speaker 2: were settling for field goals, and it's the Rams that
- 24:13Speaker 2: commit to or create four interceptions against Sam Darneld. The
- 24:17Speaker 2: difference in the game twenty one to nineteen, and it's
- 24:20Speaker 2: the Rams who are now first place in the NFC
- 24:23Speaker 2: West by a game and if you count the tiebreaker
- 24:27Speaker 2: over the Seahawks right now, a game and a half.
- 24:30Speaker 2: We'll be talking about it a lot for the rest
- 24:32Speaker 2: of the show today. Good morning, Welcome in. It is

- 24:58Speaker 2: from Greg here in a matter of moments. College football
- 25:01Speaker 2: u doub over Purdue Saturday, forty nine to thirteen. It
- 25:04Speaker 2: was a laugher. Kracking have won two straight, including a
- 25:07Speaker 2: four to one win over the Baby Sharks of San
- 25:10Speaker 2: Jose on Saturday night. They'll play tomorrow in Detroit against
- 25:14Speaker 2: the Red Wings, and Josh Naylor is back. He is
- 25:18Speaker 2: going to make it official today, it sounds like he
- 25:21Speaker 2: will sign a five year contract with the Seattle Mariners,
- 25:24Speaker 2: the first major free agent to sign in the offseason,
- 25:27Speaker 2: and he's decided to re sign with the city that
- 25:31Speaker 2: he fell so deeply in love with over the last
- 25:34Speaker 2: couple of months. Josh Naylor will be back at first
- 25:37Speaker 2: base for the Mariners this year and for five years
- 25:40Speaker 2: to come. Awesome news there, Let's talk to Greg Bell

- 26:22Speaker 11: I will say, wait a minute, I'm confused.
- 26:24Speaker 9: I thought it was.
- 26:25Speaker 11: Wine that I was going to go to the Chilean
- 26:27Speaker 11: mountains or something, and now it's it's champagne or prosecco.
- 26:32Speaker 2: I think I think it's intertwined.
- 26:35Speaker 6: I believe the Delado family, there's lots of family.
- 26:39Speaker 11: Yeah, Ashley, why do you know so much more than
- 26:42Speaker 11: this than I do.
- 26:43Speaker 9: That's the problem.
- 26:44Speaker 5: It's wine. You know football?
- 26:47Speaker 2: I know wine.
- 26:48Speaker 7: No, no, no, no no.
- 26:49Speaker 11: My point is why is that being sponsored by this company?
- 26:52Speaker 11: I own nothing about what the products are.
- 26:54Speaker 9: Think we have.
- 26:55Speaker 5: We're here to educate.
- 26:57Speaker 9: I need that six please, Okay, that's a problem.
- 27:00Speaker 5: We're working on it.
- 27:01Speaker 2: We're going to get We're going to get a crate
- 27:03Speaker 2: sent to the Bell household.
- 27:05Speaker 12: Yeah, that wouldn't mine, That wouldn't mine.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Well, obviously there was no bubbly in the in the
- 27:12Speaker 2: Seahawks locker room after a twenty one to nineteen loss
- 27:15Speaker 2: where they lost the turnover battle four to one. What
- 27:18Speaker 2: was the mode? What was the theme amongst coaches and
- 27:21Speaker 2: players after that loss yesterday?
- 27:24Speaker 11: Well, you know what, despite what fans may want him
- 27:27Speaker 11: to have been, they were not laying on the floor
- 27:29Speaker 11: in misery and pain and wailing and the sky was falling.
- 27:33Speaker 11: They had a pretty good handle on what the Rams did,
- 27:38Speaker 11: both offensively and defensively. They felt, especially on defense, that
- 27:43Speaker 11: They did what no other team in the league has
- 27:45Speaker 11: done with Matthew Stafford and mcveigh's offense.
- 27:48Speaker 9: So far this.
- 27:48Speaker 11: Season, the Rams had beaten four consecutive teams by fourteen
- 27:51Speaker 11: or more points. Stafford had become the first quarterback in
- 27:54Speaker 11: the NFL to throw for four plus touchdown passes and
- 27:57Speaker 11: no interceptions in three consecutive games.
- 27:59Speaker 9: And all that ended this.
- 28:01Speaker 11: The only reason the Rams scored twenty one points was
- 28:04Speaker 11: that McDonald handed them two of their three touchdowns.
- 28:08Speaker 9: They handed it to.
- 28:09Speaker 11: Them with interceptions that gave the Rams two drive starts
- 28:13Speaker 11: for touchdowns. First two touchdowns well not to two of
- 28:16Speaker 11: the three touchdowns were three yards and twenty five yards,
- 28:20Speaker 11: so and even then the Seahawks defense a couple times
- 28:24Speaker 11: more turned the Rams away. So when I talked to
- 28:27Speaker 11: Leonard Williams and ten and will Sue and the guys
- 28:30Speaker 11: on the defensive side, Williams just fight out to said,
- 28:34Speaker 11: I can't wait to see these guys again. Mike McDonald
- 28:36Speaker 11: offered unsolicited, We're gonna see these guys a lot, maybe
- 28:41Speaker 11: a third time, meaning in the playoff matchup.
- 28:44Speaker 9: And they were welcoming that they thought over the hole,
- 28:48Speaker 9: that they.
- 28:49Speaker 11: Played well enough to win that game. But when your
- 28:52Speaker 11: quarterback throws four interceptions into tight coverage and it's looked
- 28:55Speaker 11: fooled by what the Rams are doing, and we can
- 28:59Speaker 11: get into.
- 28:59Speaker 9: That when I talk to Cooper Cup about it.
- 29:02Speaker 11: That's the difference Donald flop in his biggest game yet
- 29:05Speaker 11: for the Seahawks, And it leaves questions of one, who
- 29:10Speaker 11: is the real Sam Donald when the games are big
- 29:12Speaker 11: and the teams are good.
- 29:14Speaker 9: And who are these Seahawks?
- 29:15Speaker 11: They still have not beaten any top seventeen, the playoff
- 29:18Speaker 11: caliber team in the NFC. They still are behind the
- 29:22Speaker 11: Rams and the forty nine Ers, who they both lost
- 29:24Speaker 11: to this season. They're still down the pecking order in
- 29:28Speaker 11: the NFC West until further notice. And that's really the
- 29:31Speaker 11: most damning thing that came out of yesterday.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Gee, what was the reason behind the picks? I mean,
- 29:36Speaker 3: sometimes you just have an errand throw. To me, it
- 29:39Speaker 3: felt like there was an extra hitch or just a
- 29:41Speaker 3: delay in getting the ball to the guy that he
- 29:44Speaker 3: chose to throw it to that allowed the guys to
- 29:47Speaker 3: kind of jump in front of at least a couple
- 29:49Speaker 3: of those picks. And so did he give any explanation
- 29:52Speaker 3: or did you see any reason why why those were happening.
- 29:54Speaker 3: It wasn't just you know, horrible throws. It was kind
- 29:57Speaker 3: of bad decision or late decision.
- 29:59Speaker 8: What was it to you, Well, a.
- 30:02Speaker 11: Couple things Bucky won on the fourth interception. We got
- 30:05Speaker 11: to parse them all because there were a few. The
- 30:07Speaker 11: fourth interception, down twenty one to twelve in the fourth quarter,
- 30:10Speaker 11: they were on the edge of field goal range.
- 30:12Speaker 9: It's third down.
- 30:13Speaker 11: It's going to be a fifty plus yard field goal.
- 30:15Speaker 11: Myers had just made a fifty seven yard of the
- 30:17Speaker 11: same end. That was on Donald's mind when he got
- 30:19Speaker 11: pressured up the middle and he stepped up and he
- 30:24Speaker 11: tried to jump past to Elijah Royo, and Donald was
- 30:27Speaker 11: trying to avoid the loss of five six yards there
- 30:29Speaker 11: that would have pushed them out of field goal range
- 30:31Speaker 11: and caused them either go for a fourth and long
- 30:33Speaker 11: or have to punt and lose a chance of making
- 30:35Speaker 11: a one score game again. He said he was thinking
- 30:37Speaker 11: about that, so when he jumped past.
- 30:40Speaker 12: It it advisedly.
- 30:42Speaker 11: He said, he saw a defender in his face, so
- 30:44Speaker 11: he couldn't see the defensive back behind the defensive lineman
- 30:49Speaker 11: who was standing right in front.
- 30:50Speaker 9: Of a royal to intercept that pass, so.
- 30:51Speaker 11: He just never saw the guy. Cooper Cup after the
- 30:55Speaker 11: game explained that the Rams did a really good job
- 30:57Speaker 11: of switching their safety alignments from at the snap to
- 31:01Speaker 11: post snap. They were doing a heavy box eight man
- 31:03Speaker 11: in the box with the safety down near the line
- 31:05Speaker 11: of scrimmage to combat the Seahawks run, and then at
- 31:09Speaker 11: the snap off and they ran out in that second safety.
- 31:12Speaker 11: Often Kitchens, who intercepted Donald twice, ran from down in
- 31:17Speaker 11: the box out to a double high cover two look
- 31:19Speaker 11: with two safeties deep. So the Seahawks were running routes
- 31:23Speaker 11: and Donald was making reads that he thought was single
- 31:26Speaker 11: high coverage when in fact it was too deep. And
- 31:30Speaker 11: two of his four interceptions are directly to Kinchins in
- 31:33Speaker 11: the middle of the field, one of those safeties who
- 31:35Speaker 11: had been moved around the snap. So credit Chris Shuller indirectly,
- 31:40Speaker 11: that's what Cooper Cup said. Credit the Rams, he said,
- 31:43Speaker 11: but Chris Shula, the defensive coordinator for tricking Donald.
- 31:47Speaker 9: I asked Donald specifically after the.
- 31:48Speaker 11: Game about that, the switching of safeties, and he said, yeah,
- 31:51Speaker 11: they did that.
- 31:51Speaker 9: They did a good job of.
- 31:52Speaker 11: Disguising their shell, meaning two safeties deep. But he said
- 31:56Speaker 11: a lot of teams in the league do that, and
- 31:58Speaker 11: that he has to be better playing and simple with
- 32:00Speaker 11: taking care of the ball and making decisions and seeing
- 32:04Speaker 11: all that. But so fights to say he got tricked,
- 32:07Speaker 11: and no NFL quarterback is going to directly throw the
- 32:10Speaker 11: ball to four guys in coveries or four interceptions unless
- 32:13Speaker 11: he doesn't quite understand what's going on in the coverages.
- 32:16Speaker 9: As he's saying.
- 32:17Speaker 2: Creig Bell is with us, our Seahawks insider. I'll play
- 32:19Speaker 2: off in a little bit because that narrative about who
- 32:22Speaker 2: is the real Sam Donald was starting even before the game,
- 32:26Speaker 2: and I heard Mike McDonald say afterwards, like, hey, we
- 32:30Speaker 2: like the way that he let it rip. I mean,
- 32:32Speaker 2: he made mistakes, he cost them the game with their
- 32:35Speaker 2: four interceptions. But I don't know if I ever saw
- 32:38Speaker 2: his confidence waiver all the way up to the last drive,
- 32:41Speaker 2: he was still just letting it rip. I saw that
- 32:44Speaker 2: as encouraging. I don't I don't come away from that
- 32:46Speaker 2: loss like, oh, Sam Donald can't win the big game,
- 32:49Speaker 2: Sam Donald can't beat the Rams. I just I just
- 32:53Speaker 2: can't forget what happened leading up to Sunday. I still
- 32:59Speaker 2: like that Sam Arnold is the Seahawks quarterback Greg.
- 33:04Speaker 9: Well.
- 33:04Speaker 11: I hope so, because that's what he's got they've got
- 33:06Speaker 11: for the next Yeah, in six games, at least.
- 33:10Speaker 10: I did.
- 33:10Speaker 11: I did see a little bit of frustration that I
- 33:14Speaker 11: haven't seen in Donald yet yesterday through the binoculars after
- 33:17Speaker 11: the interceptions, while the Rams are celebrating and the pyro technics
- 33:20Speaker 11: are going off in the Rams house and all that,
- 33:23Speaker 11: I put my binoculars on the.
- 33:24Speaker 9: Quarterback to see what his reaction was, because.
- 33:26Speaker 11: He's been renowned around the locker room for how steady
- 33:28Speaker 11: and poise. He's been come hell or high water, good
- 33:31Speaker 11: or bad both. After the third interception and after the
- 33:34Speaker 11: fourth interception, he walked straight to the sideline. He went
- 33:38Speaker 11: straight to the bench. Then he ripped his helmet off,
- 33:40Speaker 11: snapped his chin strap off pretty violently, and then slammed
- 33:43Speaker 11: his helmet at the top of the bench where the
- 33:46Speaker 11: little knobs are at the top for the where.
- 33:47Speaker 9: The helmets go. He normally doesn't do that.
- 33:51Speaker 11: Liutenant Wolsu walked up to him after the third interception.
- 33:53Speaker 9: So I asked Hm.
- 33:54Speaker 11: Wolsu in the locker room after the game, would you
- 33:55Speaker 11: say to him? And he said that we still got you.
- 33:59Speaker 11: You got to see you were playing great all season.
- 34:02Speaker 11: We're built for this. Weils just said we'll be fine,
- 34:05Speaker 11: We'll come back from this. You're one of us, we're brothers.
- 34:08Speaker 11: Here even more colorfully after the game and Ernest Jones,
- 34:13Speaker 11: I don't know if you caught that. Yeah, it's not great,
- 34:16Speaker 11: and we can't the SEC won't let us forbade him
- 34:18Speaker 11: quote down, but he said that anyone who wants to
- 34:22Speaker 11: He said that Donald has kept us in every freaking
- 34:25Speaker 11: he didn't say freaking game this season. And anyone that
- 34:28Speaker 11: wants to say anything about Sam Donald for throwing foreig
- 34:31Speaker 11: interceptions blank you yeah, Live radio, my.
- 34:37Speaker 12: Television from Los Angeles yesterday, I thought they appears with
- 34:40Speaker 12: the Seahawks. Guy was gonna just yake him off the
- 34:43Speaker 12: stage with the team and walk right out. But they
- 34:47Speaker 12: wanted to be and Jones purposely used such colorful language.
- 34:51Speaker 12: They wanted to be clear that they are going to
- 34:54Speaker 12: support Donald and have his back because they have to.
- 34:57Speaker 12: He's their quarterback and they're not changing it. But also
- 35:00Speaker 12: because he has earned cachet with them, and up until
- 35:03Speaker 12: this point he wasn't any.
- 35:05Speaker 11: Of what he was yesterday. So the Seahawks have to
- 35:07Speaker 11: go with that rather than yesterday. They can't say, well,
- 35:10Speaker 11: this is the guy. We're thinking this guy every time
- 35:13Speaker 11: the game's good, tough. They're going to rally around him
- 35:15Speaker 11: for the next six games, and frankly, he's probably going
- 35:17Speaker 11: to play great and they're probably going to boat race
- 35:19Speaker 11: the Titans in Tennessee. Titans are one and nine on
- 35:22Speaker 11: Sunday and they'll be eight and three. So the bigger picture,
- 35:25Speaker 11: as Jones said, was we turned the ball over four
- 35:29Speaker 11: times and lost by two points to the first place
- 35:32Speaker 11: team in the NFC. We're going to be okay, is
- 35:35Speaker 11: what he basically said. They just have to fix the turnovers.
- 35:38Speaker 11: Darnold now is tied for the NFL with two Ittiglers
- 35:41Speaker 11: lay with fourteen interceptions, fourteen turnovers ten ten interceptions and
- 35:45Speaker 11: four fumbles. We talked about this guys that he was
- 35:48Speaker 11: the problem with ball security was a real haunting one,
- 35:51Speaker 11: and now he's leading the league in turnovers. That's yeah,
- 35:55Speaker 11: that has to change.
- 35:56Speaker 7: Ye.
- 35:57Speaker 3: What was the deal with the kind of the red
- 36:00Speaker 3: zone deficiency?
- 36:01Speaker 8: If you will.
- 36:02Speaker 3: I mean they got down there a few times, they
- 36:03Speaker 3: controlled the clock, and I'm sure that they all felt
- 36:07Speaker 3: good about the way they moved the ball against a
- 36:09Speaker 3: tough Rams team, and yet they get down there in
- 36:12Speaker 3: the red zone and you know, ended up having to
- 36:14Speaker 3: settle for a like four field goal. So what did
- 36:16Speaker 3: they do wrong down there or was it just a
- 36:19Speaker 3: tip your cap to a good defense.
- 36:22Speaker 9: Well, they screwed up.
- 36:23Speaker 11: I mean, they played the end of the first half perfectly.
- 36:26Speaker 9: They had the ball.
- 36:26Speaker 11: Come out of the second half, they're trying to do
- 36:28Speaker 11: the two for one. They took up seven minutes and
- 36:31Speaker 11: forty seven seconds the last seven to forty seven of
- 36:33Speaker 11: the second quarter with that drive fifteen play drive eighty
- 36:37Speaker 11: nine yards all the way down there, and then they
- 36:39Speaker 11: had kicking a field goal.
- 36:41Speaker 9: So that was not by design.
- 36:43Speaker 11: They were not supposed to be down fourteen to nine
- 36:45Speaker 11: at the half. After using it, they used all but
- 36:47Speaker 11: thirteen seconds of the second quarter clock of possession. The
- 36:51Speaker 11: Rams only had three plays for thirteen seconds in the
- 36:53Speaker 11: second quarter when they were about ready to blow the
- 36:56Speaker 11: game open up fourteen to three. So the Seahawks righted themselves.
- 36:59Speaker 11: But when they did that, they only had two field
- 37:01Speaker 11: goals out of those two fifteen and thirteen play drives
- 37:04Speaker 11: into the red zone. That's where they lost the game.
- 37:08Speaker 11: Pragmatically even before the Feig interception and then Donald's four
- 37:11Speaker 11: interceptions killed him. But if you get touchdowns there, of course,
- 37:15Speaker 11: that's eight points you needed in a two point loss.
- 37:18Speaker 11: Threes instead of sevens twice, that's eight points. I thought,
- 37:23Speaker 11: I think still, and I say it during the game
- 37:26Speaker 11: to myself and the guys next to me in the
- 37:27Speaker 11: press box, that Kenneth Walker should be the short yard
- 37:30Speaker 11: or the goal line back to me, Zach Charboney runs
- 37:35Speaker 11: straight into the assigned hole or to the where he's
- 37:38Speaker 11: trying to get to, no matter how many guys are
- 37:40Speaker 11: standing in front of him.
- 37:41Speaker 9: When he gets the ball.
- 37:42Speaker 11: Walker makes that first guy, often makes that first guy miss.
- 37:46Speaker 9: He had a really good.
- 37:47Speaker 11: Run in the second half in the red zone by
- 37:48Speaker 11: doing exactly that. He had ninety one staring at his
- 37:51Speaker 11: face when he got the handoff, and he juked him
- 37:53Speaker 11: outside of the right and turned what should have been
- 37:55Speaker 11: a five yard loss into a six or seven yard
- 37:57Speaker 11: game down to the goal line.
- 37:59Speaker 9: I'd keep Walker in for those plays.
- 38:03Speaker 11: It just seems like that's the more he can turn
- 38:06Speaker 11: something nothing in something far more than Sharvening was. That
- 38:11Speaker 11: was one problem, and then the Rams just had better
- 38:13Speaker 11: coverage when they did have to go to the run,
- 38:15Speaker 11: because I thought they limited themselves with running plays with
- 38:18Speaker 11: sharpening instead of Walker.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be critical of the usage the way Walker
- 38:23Speaker 2: was used throughout the game. I think they went to
- 38:25Speaker 2: him consistently too late in the game. But that's a
- 38:28Speaker 2: topic for another time. So many other topics. I got
- 38:30Speaker 2: a million different things I want to ask you about,
- 38:33Speaker 2: but I got to use my last minute and a
- 38:35Speaker 2: half to find out what's going on with Grey's Abel
- 38:37Speaker 2: because I'm happy to give away a loss here if
- 38:39Speaker 2: I'm a Seahawk fan. If I find out today the
- 38:42Speaker 2: Grey's Abel's going to be all right.
- 38:44Speaker 9: Well, they don't know that yet.
- 38:46Speaker 11: He's getting imaging today, which means MRIs and to see
- 38:49Speaker 11: if there's structural damage in his knee.
- 38:51Speaker 9: I will say this, as tough.
- 38:53Speaker 11: As that guy is, bush Light South Dakota hasn't been
- 38:57Speaker 11: beaten for a sackle all year, trash talker and all
- 39:00Speaker 11: pro Hall of famers, all of that. To see him
- 39:03Speaker 11: on two knees with his face mask straight in the
- 39:05Speaker 11: turf as Kenneth Walker was running the end zone told
- 39:09Speaker 11: me that he's pretty hurt, and then he needed help
- 39:12Speaker 11: with two not one, but two assistants to shuffle into
- 39:15Speaker 11: the sideline. He got into the Blue ten and then
- 39:18Speaker 11: got taken straight into the locker room. It's a knee
- 39:21Speaker 11: injury of unknown severity. McDonald said on his way u
- 39:24Speaker 11: up La yesterday evening. I mean we're going to quizz
- 39:27Speaker 11: more this afternoon on that, but it didn't look great.
- 39:31Speaker 11: Christian Haynes came in. He had just been activated off
- 39:34Speaker 11: the injured reserve list on Saturday. He's a backup guard
- 39:38Speaker 11: that came in on Sunday. He would be the odds
- 39:42Speaker 11: on man to be the center, to be the left guard.
- 39:45Speaker 11: They are already missing Jalen Sindell, whom they put on
- 39:47Speaker 11: injured reserve on Saturday to make roster room four Haynes.
- 39:50Speaker 11: So now all of a sudden, this offensive line that
- 39:52Speaker 11: had been so good at protecting Donald is missing two
- 39:55Speaker 11: of its five starters.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Yeah that's rough. All right, man. Well, there, like I said,
- 40:01Speaker 2: a million other things to discuss. We'll have to dive
- 40:04Speaker 2: into those on tomorrow's program. Get some sleep. Thank you
- 40:08Speaker 2: very much, We appreciate you, and we'll talk to you then.
- 40:12Speaker 9: Okay, Happy Monday, all right, Greg Bell.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Our Seahawks inside at joining us here on this Monday
- 40:16Speaker 2: after the SEHOUX twenty one to nineteen loss to the
- 40:19Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. It's brought to you by they are
- 40:22Speaker 2: brand new sponsor. Pop the bubbly and bring the sparkle,
- 40:26Speaker 2: Greg Bell. It's Game Day. Coppola Diamond Collection Prosecco is crisp,
- 40:32Speaker 2: refreshing with notes of apple, citrus and white peach from
- 40:35Speaker 2: kickoff to the final whistle. It keeps the celebration going.
- 40:40Speaker 2: Game Day Bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco.
- 40:44Speaker 5: I love Game Day Bubbles.
- 40:46Speaker 2: I thought out of the two of you, you would.
- 40:49Speaker 5: Yeah, surprising, isn't it.
- 40:52Speaker 9: All right?
- 40:53Speaker 2: Factor Fiction with Bucky at seven thirty five. Coming up
- 40:56Speaker 2: next though, we will talk about Josh Naylor. Still I
- 41:00Speaker 2: am in Seattle People Sports Radio ninety three point three
- 41:02Speaker 2: KHARFM hright five and a half minutes away from Factor Fiction.
- 41:17Speaker 2: Brand new Week starts at seven thirty five this morning.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Bucky's pick today, so we'll get to that here in
- 41:23Speaker 2: a moment. Of course, we do have Seahawks on the brain.
- 41:25Speaker 2: A loss yesterday to the Los Angeles Rams twenty one
- 41:28Speaker 2: to nineteen. We will resume our analysis of this game
- 41:32Speaker 2: coming up at seven forty five, we'll hear from Mike
- 41:34Speaker 2: McDonald and then of course eight o'clock Monday morning quarterback
- 41:37Speaker 2: gets underway. Hugh Millan will be under center. Mike Holgeran
- 41:41Speaker 2: will join the conversation at nine o'clock. So much to
- 41:43Speaker 2: break down, so we'll do it for two straight hours
- 41:45Speaker 2: starting at eight o'clock. But we have monster baseball news
- 41:49Speaker 2: today as well that we are dealing with. If you
- 41:52Speaker 2: haven't heard, I got good news everybody. That is good news.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Josh Naylor last night looks like he's gonna be the
- 42:00Speaker 2: first major free agent to come to terms with a team,
- 42:05Speaker 2: and it's going to be with our team. Naylor apparently
- 42:09Speaker 2: as agreed to a five year contract that we don't
- 42:12Speaker 2: know exactly the dollar figures suggest yet my guess is
- 42:16Speaker 2: it's between ninety and one hundred million dollars. That seems
- 42:18Speaker 2: to be the educated guests that's floating around out there.
- 42:22Speaker 2: But the bottom line is that later on today he
- 42:25Speaker 2: should come to terms, make it official, sign the document,
- 42:30Speaker 2: and remain a Mariner for the next five seasons. And
- 42:33Speaker 2: I know that makes everybody happy.
- 42:35Speaker 8: That is good to use.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Like you said, I mean, if they hadn't done this.
- 42:39Speaker 3: It's not like the offseason wouldn't have couldn't have still
- 42:43Speaker 3: been a success, but this was most certainly the hallmark,
- 42:47Speaker 3: the hallmark move that they needed to make. We can say, okay, Geno.
- 42:52Speaker 3: I mean, I love Geno as a dude, a clubhouse guy,
- 42:55Speaker 3: and I love the fact that he can, you know,
- 42:57Speaker 3: hit forty fifty home runs for you. But I also
- 43:01Speaker 3: don't think it's a necessity that you bring him back.
- 43:03Speaker 3: I think you could. You could roll with Ben Williamson
- 43:06Speaker 3: to see how that turns out. You could possibly do
- 43:09Speaker 3: something else over there, But to me, it was first base.
- 43:11Speaker 8: You didn't have anybody waiting in the wings. You don't.
- 43:14Speaker 3: There isn't somebody that's like Josh Naylor. Josh Naylor's not
- 43:17Speaker 3: going to do Aaron Judgy and things, Well, nobody is.
- 43:21Speaker 3: I mean, he's not going to be the best.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Him steal them from Cown.
- 43:25Speaker 8: Yeah, he's definitely not going to do that.
- 43:27Speaker 2: Yeah, garbage, he's not.
- 43:30Speaker 3: He's not this crazy, over the top stat guy. But
- 43:34Speaker 3: he's just a ballplayer. I mean, the way that he
- 43:36Speaker 3: plays the game is something that you need. I mean,
- 43:39Speaker 3: I genuinely think that the best teams out there, you
- 43:43Speaker 3: have to have at least one guy like this, if
- 43:44Speaker 3: not a full lineup full of them. So I mean,
- 43:48Speaker 3: if they can figure out a way to get this
- 43:50Speaker 3: thing done, which it sounds like it is pretty much
- 43:52Speaker 3: done to you, Oh that's great news.
- 43:54Speaker 8: I told my wife last night. She was super pumped.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I remember when the trade went down and
- 43:59Speaker 2: saw to have me on and Hugh happened to be
- 44:02Speaker 2: co hosting with him that day. And I've referenced this
- 44:04Speaker 2: a couple of times, but I think it's relevant to
- 44:07Speaker 2: bring up again today. And Hugh asked about the possibility
- 44:10Speaker 2: of a long term deal. And when you don't watch
- 44:13Speaker 2: Josh Naylor, but you know of Josh and you see
- 44:15Speaker 2: him here and there, you play him against them in
- 44:17Speaker 2: a series, and you see there's RBI run production. You
- 44:21Speaker 2: see the energy that he plays with, the focus that
- 44:25Speaker 2: he plays with, but you don't appreciate it until you
- 44:28Speaker 2: get to see the guy every single day. So my
- 44:30Speaker 2: reaction was, yeah, he's got kind of a bad body.
- 44:34Speaker 2: I don't know if they brought him here necessarily to
- 44:37Speaker 2: keep him long term. I think it is to use
- 44:39Speaker 2: him for the stretch drive, which they certainly did. But
- 44:45Speaker 2: then once you're around him every day. I mean, you
- 44:47Speaker 2: realize everything that he brings to the table, and how
- 44:52Speaker 2: you don't even care if he has a bad body
- 44:54Speaker 2: because he's one of the slowest runners in the league
- 44:57Speaker 2: and stole thirty bases this year. He did not get
- 45:01Speaker 2: caught stealing in a Mariner uniform. Had like twenty stolen
- 45:04Speaker 2: bases in two months for us. The footwork at first base,
- 45:10Speaker 2: he's like a ballet dancer over there at first base
- 45:13Speaker 2: to make sure the feet are in the right place.
- 45:15Speaker 2: He saved a lot of arrant throws down the stretch.
- 45:19Speaker 2: And so he doesn't need to be the greatest athlete
- 45:22Speaker 2: in the world. He doesn't need to have the best
- 45:24Speaker 2: body in the world, not when you play as smart
- 45:26Speaker 2: as he plays. So at the time, I didn't think
- 45:29Speaker 2: that it was important that he signed long term when
- 45:32Speaker 2: we made that trade, just as long as he's here
- 45:34Speaker 2: for twenty twenty five and can get us into the
- 45:36Speaker 2: playoffs and give us a run at the World Series.
- 45:40Speaker 2: But after you were exposed to him for just a
- 45:42Speaker 2: few games, you're like, no, we got to keep this guy.
- 45:45Speaker 2: This guy's got to be a long term commitment.
- 45:47Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing about the way in which this guy
- 45:50Speaker 3: plays that you can't like if you're a fan of baseball.
- 45:54Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the term a baseball player or
- 45:57Speaker 3: a ballplayer that is kind of the best pad on
- 46:00Speaker 3: the back that you can get. And I mean it's
- 46:02Speaker 3: even before we had him, I was like, that's what
- 46:05Speaker 3: you need. I mean, I've watched just about every single
- 46:08Speaker 3: pitch of this Mariners team for the last better part
- 46:10Speaker 3: of this decade, and yet it's grit is one of
- 46:13Speaker 3: the things that I think it has lacked.
- 46:15Speaker 8: And I think that this guy brings that, I mean
- 46:18Speaker 8: in full.
- 46:18Speaker 2: Yeah grit and flash last years dresser and yet the
- 46:22Speaker 2: grittiest guy on the team.
- 46:23Speaker 5: It's a great combo. It's a very rare come yeah
- 46:27Speaker 5: because he's different.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't happen a lot, and he's ours for the
- 46:31Speaker 2: next five years and we couldn't be happier. Let's play
- 46:33Speaker 2: some factor fiction.
- 46:34Speaker 8: Where's that to go?
- 46:35Speaker 1: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly
- 46:38Speaker 1: thousand bucks and the ten thousand.
- 46:41Speaker 2: Dollars grand prize.
- 46:42Speaker 1: It's fact door Fiction, probably presented by Lucky Eagle Casino
- 46:47Speaker 1: and hotel where every day Feels Lucky.
- 46:50Speaker 8: Fact Door Fiction.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Is on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ R FM, All.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Right, how'd we do this week?
- 46:58Speaker 9: Three and two?
- 46:59Speaker 2: All right, we'll take that. Yeah they Cincinnati, Yeah, we'll
- 47:04Speaker 2: take the We'll take a three pick on the Broncos game.
- 47:07Speaker 8: Thanks, that tastes dick.
- 47:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I got mocked by the afternoon.
- 47:12Speaker 8: Actually doesn't know enough about it. Yeah, you don't know, right.
- 47:17Speaker 5: That's right, you mock me, that's right. I'll call up the.
- 47:21Speaker 8: Broncos straight up against Ashley's pick.
- 47:24Speaker 5: Nice on the same day too.
- 47:26Speaker 2: So we all got one right this week we did.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Bluckey was one and oh so uh he picks twice
- 47:31Speaker 2: this week, which means he's up today. So where are
- 47:33Speaker 2: we gonna go with today's factor fiction?
- 47:35Speaker 3: I basically I go with who's playing a crap team?
- 47:40Speaker 3: And a crap team is the Cardinals. Now they're going
- 47:42Speaker 3: against the Jaguars. Jaguars could also be crap on any
- 47:45Speaker 3: given week, but it's a point and a half. I
- 47:48Speaker 3: don't mind laying a point and a half at the
- 47:49Speaker 3: Cardinals feet. I think us as well as Brissette's been playing.
- 47:54Speaker 3: I think the Jaguars are a team that they get
- 47:55Speaker 3: after the quarterback, which forces turnovers. It makes it ann
- 48:00Speaker 3: comfortable day, if they show up and play the way
- 48:02Speaker 3: that they're capable of, I think they kind of recognize
- 48:04Speaker 3: that if they want to win this thing or get
- 48:06Speaker 3: into the playoffs, it's time to go.
- 48:08Speaker 8: And I think they'll do it against Cardinals.
- 48:09Speaker 3: So I'm taking the Jaguars minus one and a half
- 48:13Speaker 3: at the Cardinals.
- 48:15Speaker 2: The Jaguars are like that buddy you had in high
- 48:17Speaker 2: school where he's constantly like getting into trouble and you're
- 48:21Speaker 2: having to like apologize for him, and then after a
- 48:24Speaker 2: couple of months, you're like, see, I think he's turned
- 48:27Speaker 2: a new corner. He's fine, he's really grown up, he's
- 48:31Speaker 2: learned a lot of lessons. And then you get a
- 48:32Speaker 2: call at late night and he's robbed a bank. That's
- 48:35Speaker 2: the Jaguars for you. I mean, you want to like them,
- 48:38Speaker 2: you want to believe that they've turned the corner, and
- 48:41Speaker 2: maybe they have this time, but you just can't trust them.
- 48:44Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I don't necessarily trust them, but it's only
- 48:47Speaker 3: a point and a half.
- 48:48Speaker 8: It really is me more so just not.
- 48:50Speaker 3: Believing in the Cardinals. I think that the Cardinals will
- 48:53Speaker 3: at some point in time just kind of roll over
- 48:55Speaker 3: if you if you push him to that you know,
- 48:57Speaker 3: maybe it's only a quarter, maybe it's a half a football.
- 49:00Speaker 3: At some point, if you push them, they'll just eventually
- 49:02Speaker 3: roll over and ask you to rub their bellies.
- 49:05Speaker 2: All right, So Jacksonville at Arizona, yep, and you're laying
- 49:08Speaker 2: a point and a half.
- 49:09Speaker 9: Yep.
- 49:10Speaker 2: So Bucky says the Jaguars win by two points or

- 51:29Speaker 2: Okay, Well, there you go. It's Chuck Buck and Ashley
- 51:32Speaker 2: with you here on this Monday as we react along
- 51:35Speaker 2: with our experts to yesterday's twenty one nineteen loss in
- 51:38Speaker 2: Los Angeles to the Rams. The Seahawks bad day for
- 51:42Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. Four interceptions in the game. We highlighted or
- 51:45Speaker 2: lowlighted those in our first segment with our QB one,
- 51:48Speaker 2: Hugh Millan. But I do want to highlight something here, Hugh.
- 51:52Speaker 2: I do want to get your take because I thought,
- 51:55Speaker 2: and maybe maybe I'm, you know, drinking the kool aid.
- 51:58Speaker 2: Maybe I'm the local that's given the local head coach
- 52:02Speaker 2: too much credit. But I thought Mike McDonald sort of
- 52:06Speaker 2: confused Matt Stafford, who's one of the toughest guys to
- 52:11Speaker 2: confuse in the National Football League. I mean, other than
- 52:14Speaker 2: handing him seven points in the first quarter and then
- 52:17Speaker 2: they had one touchdown drive, the entire game felt to
- 52:20Speaker 2: me like Matt Stafford was given up on an awful
- 52:23Speaker 2: lot of plays because he just had nowhere to throw.
- 52:26Speaker 2: How did you see it? Yeah, that's exactly how I
- 52:29Speaker 2: saw it.
- 52:29Speaker 13: I think that we've talked a lot about how Mike
- 52:33Speaker 13: McDonald was brought into battle, you know, on a chess
- 52:38Speaker 13: board with Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, and we're talking
- 52:42Speaker 13: about the Rams today and I'll just say this, Mike
- 52:46Speaker 13: McDonald is winning those matchups. And if you don't agree
- 52:49Speaker 13: with me, we're gonna have to meet under a freeway
- 52:52Speaker 13: behind the railroad tracks, and only one of us is
- 52:54Speaker 13: coming out alive. And I'm not saying it's gonna be me,
- 52:56Speaker 13: but you're you're you're gonna have blood either way, because
- 53:00Speaker 13: if you look at that Matthew Stafford in the last
- 53:03Speaker 13: two years, he's gone against twenty head coaches, and.
- 53:09Speaker 2: His completion percentage.
- 53:10Speaker 13: Against Mike McDonald's fifty three and a half percent that's
- 53:13Speaker 13: twentieth out of twentieth. His yards per tempt five point one,
- 53:17Speaker 13: twentieth out of twenty coaches. Okay, yards per game one
- 53:21Speaker 13: hundred and seventy four, that's eighteenth, third down conversions fifteen
- 53:26Speaker 13: point eight percent, eighteenth, passer rating nineteenth. So uh, and
- 53:31Speaker 13: then you know similar numbers for Sean McVay if you
- 53:35Speaker 13: if you throw out the JV game that in Week eighteen,
- 53:39Speaker 13: that nobody had any but anything to play for last year.
- 53:42Speaker 13: So there's been two matchups. Remember now, last year in Seattle,
- 53:46Speaker 13: the in regulation, the Rams only scored thirteen points against
- 53:49Speaker 13: the defense. It was Gino Smith game up one hundred
- 53:52Speaker 13: and six yard pick six, and essentially that's what you
- 53:55Speaker 13: saw yesterday with the pick down to the three yard line.
- 53:59Speaker 13: And so there was just thirteen points last year. So
- 54:03Speaker 13: Sean McVay, if we're going coaching matchups, you've got if
- 54:09Speaker 13: you just following upon or a kickoff, if you if
- 54:13Speaker 13: you can just do that, you have the Seahawks only
- 54:18Speaker 13: allowing one point one eight points per drive. That's eighteenth
- 54:23Speaker 13: ou twenty's that's less than half of what the forty
- 54:26Speaker 13: nine ers give up for a fifty yard field or more.
- 54:31Speaker 13: If the Seahawk defense has a half a field or
- 54:34Speaker 13: more to defend, they are only allowing to the Rams
- 54:38Speaker 13: one point five points per drive. Again, that's eighteen and
- 54:41Speaker 13: the only one who did better was in a weird
- 54:43Speaker 13: game an Tony Pierce with the head coach of the Raiders.
- 54:46Speaker 13: So I promise you Matthew Stafford wants no part of
- 54:52Speaker 13: Mike McDonald and Sean McVay.
- 54:54Speaker 2: Is is that rascal? Holy cow?
- 54:56Speaker 13: So, yeah, there was a matchup. It was big time,
- 54:58Speaker 13: it was anticipated, it was discussed. We've seen two of
- 55:01Speaker 13: them now, and you know, but for the offense given
- 55:05Speaker 13: a three point field, excuse me, a three yard field
- 55:09Speaker 13: and a twenty five yard field, there's only one long touchdown,
- 55:12Speaker 13: you know.
- 55:13Speaker 2: So I see it exactly the way you do.
- 55:17Speaker 3: Early on the broadcast was harping on the idea of
- 55:21Speaker 3: McVeigh has switched some stuff up with their personnel, their
- 55:24Speaker 3: thirteen personnel where they were instead of spreading it out
- 55:27Speaker 3: the way that he did when he first came into
- 55:29Speaker 3: the league and was getting all the accolades he was
- 55:31Speaker 3: that he had done some stuff and it did look
- 55:33Speaker 3: like it was working. Did you see some sort of
- 55:35Speaker 3: adjustment that McDonald made to where it was pretty much
- 55:40Speaker 3: non existent or it wasn't working the same the rest
- 55:42Speaker 3: of the way.
- 55:43Speaker 13: Yeah, well, first of all, going into the game of
- 55:45Speaker 13: the last three games, the Rams, the NFL average is
- 55:51Speaker 13: you get twelve yards per game out of thirteen personnel.
- 55:55Speaker 13: The second place team was fifty yards per game. The
- 56:00Speaker 13: Rams were first at one hundred and sixty yards per
- 56:04Speaker 13: game out of thirteen personnel.
- 56:07Speaker 2: So what did what happened? What happened yesterday?
- 56:11Speaker 13: They had eighteen plays forty nine yards two point seven
- 56:16Speaker 13: yards per play. And in the passing game, where excuse me,
- 56:24Speaker 13: where Stafford had had eight touchdowns in the last three games.
- 56:28Speaker 13: In that Stafford goes three for six for four yards.
- 56:34Speaker 13: Now he did get a touchdown out of that group,
- 56:36Speaker 13: but again four yards in the passing game. So what
- 56:41Speaker 13: you saw there was a mixture of nickel and dime.
- 56:46Speaker 13: And certainly they're not going to play dime against the
- 56:49Speaker 13: thirteen personnel. Thirteen for those who don't know, that's one
- 56:52Speaker 13: running back, three tight ends, and one receiver. And so
- 56:56Speaker 13: you've got guys like Emon Worry who you know, he's
- 57:01Speaker 13: he's got the length. Even though he's a dB, he
- 57:04Speaker 13: can he can run and Olcatta's coming down heel. The
- 57:08Speaker 13: safeties were really firing hard and kind of almost disavowing
- 57:12Speaker 13: play action, saying, screw that you had. Ernest Jones had
- 57:16Speaker 13: had on two long runs, he had got out.
- 57:19Speaker 2: Of a gap on a lead.
- 57:21Speaker 13: He was supposed to be in the B gap on
- 57:23Speaker 13: the inside edge of the B gap because Emon Warrey
- 57:25Speaker 13: was on the outside. So they gave up thirty something
- 57:28Speaker 13: yards on that run. And then on a stretch play
- 57:32Speaker 13: where he was in the same gap with Leonard Williams,
- 57:36Speaker 13: he should have been in a C gap one gap over.
- 57:38Speaker 13: He admitted it. It's clear on the tape. But then
- 57:41Speaker 13: all of a sudden they just button that up. And
- 57:43Speaker 13: then they had been hurt by tight end screens in
- 57:46Speaker 13: the first quarter, and now you literally see the first
- 57:49Speaker 13: play of the second quarter, Okata just he literally throws
- 57:52Speaker 13: to the ground on the of the intended tight end.
- 57:55Speaker 13: He just not throws him because that would have been illegal,
- 57:57Speaker 13: but but just jacksonim and the dude falls down there,
- 58:00Speaker 13: just totally ready for it. So everything that they had
- 58:02Speaker 13: seen in the first quarter and that had burned them,
- 58:05Speaker 13: they made the adjustments. They played more man and man
- 58:08Speaker 13: for a while. They were more active in the set
- 58:11Speaker 13: in from second quarter beyond in terms of the pressures
- 58:15Speaker 13: that they were bringing the simulated pressures. And what I
- 58:18Speaker 13: really like, because we discussed it last week, is that
- 58:21Speaker 13: I liked that they were coming off of Matthew Stafford's
- 58:24Speaker 13: right side as a right handed.
- 58:25Speaker 2: Quarterback, which causes him to go to his left. That's
- 58:28Speaker 2: a win.
- 58:28Speaker 13: There's been times I go, oh, coach McDonald, that is
- 58:31Speaker 13: such a beautiful blitz.
- 58:32Speaker 2: Why are you doing it from the left side.
- 58:34Speaker 13: Because now we just lost contain a right handed quarterback
- 58:36Speaker 13: got ran away from it and was able to get
- 58:38Speaker 13: a completion and a conversion. And so I thought that that,
- 58:42Speaker 13: you know, just in every way that I mean the
- 58:44Speaker 13: numbers I gave him to you.
- 58:45Speaker 2: You saw the tape, the.
- 58:49Speaker 13: Idea that you could take a team at rioting as
- 58:52Speaker 13: high as the rams and you could be that damn
- 58:56Speaker 13: close after having four interceptions. It's a testimony to the
- 59:00Speaker 13: rest of the football team. It's a testimony in the
- 59:02Speaker 13: defense and the scheming of it. And so I don't know, yah, yeah,
- 59:09Speaker 13: just unfortunate, but also a lot to like.
- 59:11Speaker 2: All right, Well, I do want to get a thirty
- 59:13Speaker 2: thousand foot view about about those things coming up in
- 59:16Speaker 2: our final segment, Monday Morning Quarterback brought to you by

- 59:47Speaker 1: kJ r FM.
- 59:51Speaker 4: Obviously, we're disappointed, but it's very clear to me that
- 59:53Speaker 4: we have a great team and we're gonna learn to
- 59:57Speaker 4: win games like that, and we're gonna learn from you know, weeks.
- 1:00:00Speaker 8: Like this and all that.
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: I mean again, we're really we're young. You know, you
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: got you know, a young head coach or whatever like that.
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: I'm learning how to how to prepare our teams from
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: week to week, you know. So we're all learning, we're
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: all learning, we're all growing. I actually think it's like
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: a competitive advantage for us as we start to grows,
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: we are willing to grow and involved.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: We're doing to coach job, Mike, give it up, Mike.
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: I'm with you, Mike, great job, coach your job, Coot,
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: keep it up.
- 1:00:30Speaker 9: Hang in there, Buck, you're my boy.
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: Book, Uh Chuck Buck Ashley with you, of course. So
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: we've got our experts on hand here on a Monday morning.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: We've got Mike Homer, We've got Hugh Millen with us
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: as we react to a twenty one nineteen loss to
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams. But along those lines of believing
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: in Mike McDonald coach, uh Man, I just thought I
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: saw Matt Stafford look confused this season for the first
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: time in any game. And I think Mike McDonald deserves
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: a lot of credit for that. They had one yard
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: in the second quarter of the Rams. He had one
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: hundred and thirty passing yards for the games, and he
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: didn't make the same mistakes that Sam Darnold made in
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: giving the ball up, which credit to him. But I
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: thought I saw a defensive coach that the Seahawks had
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: just sort of out thinking Matt Stafford yesterday. What did
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: you see?
- 1:01:22Speaker 7: That's exactly where I saw, Chuck. I mean, because Matt
- 1:01:24Speaker 7: Stafford's really a good player. I mean, he's played a
- 1:01:27Speaker 7: long time. You can't fool him too much. But the
- 1:01:31Speaker 7: defense give them credit and as a result, you give
- 1:01:34Speaker 7: your head coach who is the defensive guy credit that
- 1:01:38Speaker 7: he made life miserable for Matt and the Rams have
- 1:01:42Speaker 7: a good offensive team, and no, that's exactly what happened.
- 1:01:47Speaker 7: So if you want to take something away from the
- 1:01:50Speaker 7: game in a very positive way, that's one of the things.
- 1:01:54Speaker 7: Because if he can do that to Matt Stafford, their
- 1:01:57Speaker 7: defense can do that to most quarterbacks in the league.
- 1:02:00Speaker 7: And then you have to eliminate you have to eliminate
- 1:02:03Speaker 7: the mistakes you made.
- 1:02:05Speaker 13: Sorry, Mike, were you more impressed by how they defended
- 1:02:09Speaker 13: Stafford on his own side the line of scrimmage, meaning
- 1:02:13Speaker 13: how they they rushed him, how they blitzed him, stunded him,
- 1:02:17Speaker 13: or did you find yourself more impressed with the covers
- 1:02:21Speaker 13: on the Seahawks side the line of scrimmage?
- 1:02:23Speaker 9: Well?
- 1:02:23Speaker 7: I think both things. I think that the defense you
- 1:02:26Speaker 7: play the Seahawks, you're going to the quarterback is going
- 1:02:28Speaker 7: to have pressure. So you have to be able to know,
- 1:02:33Speaker 7: even against a great offense line, you're going to be
- 1:02:35Speaker 7: able that they have shown the ability through different ways
- 1:02:38Speaker 7: to get to the quarterback. So then you have to
- 1:02:40Speaker 7: have the quarterback prepared to throw the ball correctly and
- 1:02:43Speaker 7: to maybe drop it off get him out of his
- 1:02:47Speaker 7: you know, his spot there. But you saw what you
- 1:02:52Speaker 7: saw yesterday. What I saw was that he's a really
- 1:02:56Speaker 7: good passer. But there were two or three, maybe even
- 1:02:59Speaker 7: four or five throws where he just missed the throw.
- 1:03:02Speaker 7: It was short, it was wide. You know, it wasn't
- 1:03:05Speaker 7: a good throw. And he's a good quarterback. So how
- 1:03:07Speaker 7: does that happen. It's a combination of the pass rush
- 1:03:11Speaker 7: and their secondary is good, and they're doing all this
- 1:03:15Speaker 7: without love you know who, and which I think went.
- 1:03:18Speaker 7: I think he's one of their best players. So give
- 1:03:21Speaker 7: them credit. They did a great job that way, really
- 1:03:25Speaker 7: good enough to win that football game.
- 1:03:26Speaker 9: I thought.
- 1:03:27Speaker 13: You know, Mike, I think we can all remember that
- 1:03:32Speaker 13: deep in route, that dagger that DeVante Adams he tried
- 1:03:35Speaker 13: to reach back behind him and he dropped it, and
- 1:03:37Speaker 13: the telecast really showed, you know, DeVante Adams was really
- 1:03:42Speaker 13: disappointed in himself.
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: Guys.
- 1:03:45Speaker 13: I tell you, when you watch the insin copy of
- 1:03:48Speaker 13: that coach's tape. If you look at how Matthew Stafford,
- 1:03:52Speaker 13: Mike is Stanning, how he threw that. He threw that
- 1:03:56Speaker 13: ball thirty one yards in the air, and he was
- 1:04:00Speaker 13: just standing and with Leonard Williams just absolutely cave in
- 1:04:05Speaker 13: his chest in He just kind of flicked it without
- 1:04:09Speaker 13: any rotation in his body, without his shoulder coming through.
- 1:04:12Speaker 13: It was just like an arm like he was tossing
- 1:04:14Speaker 13: a I don't know, skipping rocks at a lake or something.
- 1:04:18Speaker 13: And yet the ball just jumped thirty yards down the
- 1:04:21Speaker 13: field almost perfectly accurrid it. It would have been better
- 1:04:25Speaker 13: to be a little bit in front. But but that
- 1:04:27Speaker 13: guy's arm talent is just insane.
- 1:04:29Speaker 7: Oh no, he's he's really special. And he's been special
- 1:04:33Speaker 7: a long time. You know, the stat always comes up
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: his all time records one fifteen wins, one fifteen losses,
- 1:04:39Speaker 7: and he a, what's that? That's not very good? But
- 1:04:42Speaker 7: you know, think of the teams he's been with and
- 1:04:44Speaker 7: all that kind of stuff. But here's another thing about
- 1:04:47Speaker 7: the secondary. You mentioned their secondary, our secondary, Delante Adams.
- 1:04:52Speaker 7: I think he caught one ball yesterday, yep, I think,
- 1:04:55Speaker 7: and that was the touchdown. And he's really he's really
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: a special player has been for a long time. So
- 1:05:02Speaker 7: if that happens in a game, you know, you know
- 1:05:05Speaker 7: they're doing some great things in the secondary.
- 1:05:08Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: Well, I mean we've given a lot of flowers to
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: the team that ended up losing, and understandably, so I
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: don't think this guy is falling after the way they played.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: I would want to ask coach the idea of I mean,
- 1:05:20Speaker 3: Kyrien Williams. They didn't really slow him down. I mean,
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: he only carried the ball twelve times, but he averaged
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: seven point six yards of carry. Some of that skewed
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: because of that one big long run that he had,
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: but he was fairly effective. Was there things you didn't
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: like about the stopping of the run game? Because you know,
- 1:05:37Speaker 3: at the end of the of the game the press conference,
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: Ernest Jones kind of said, hey, you know, this ain't
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: all on the quarterback as much as a lot of
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: it is. A lion's share of it's on those four interceptions.
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: But he said, you know, we could have made some
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: more defensive plays. We could have made some and that
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: would be one of the only areas I could think
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: that maybe defensively they weren't really on.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: Top of it.
- 1:05:57Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what. I applauded his comments about that.
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: I read what he said in the paper today too,
- 1:06:04Speaker 7: you know, and that shows yes to your point, Buck,
- 1:06:06Speaker 7: I think they could have done a better job. I
- 1:06:09Speaker 7: was surprised, honestly, the Rams didn't do that more. That
- 1:06:12Speaker 7: guy's a good running back, and to try and do
- 1:06:16Speaker 7: that more maybe take some of the pressure off Stafford.
- 1:06:19Speaker 7: But yeah, I think that I think that's that's part
- 1:06:24Speaker 7: of the defense there that they're going to have to
- 1:06:26Speaker 7: against the team they chooses to run the ball and
- 1:06:29Speaker 7: run the ball well. That they're going to have to solidify.
- 1:06:33Speaker 7: But you know, in the second quarter, as an example,
- 1:06:36Speaker 7: I think Chuck you alluded to it a little bit.
- 1:06:40Speaker 7: They had the Rams had one yard and the Seahawks
- 1:06:43Speaker 7: had one hundred and twenty seven in the second old quarter,
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: you know, so it was a different The Rams didn't
- 1:06:50Speaker 7: they didn't have the number of plays, They couldn't really
- 1:06:53Speaker 7: get going on offense the way they typically want to.
- 1:06:57Speaker 7: And so yeah, there's there's very little, very little to
- 1:07:02Speaker 7: pocals in the Seahawks defense, I think. But if you're
- 1:07:05Speaker 7: gonna be sticky, that's one area that maybe they can
- 1:07:08Speaker 7: show up just a little bit Yeah, but.
- 1:07:10Speaker 13: You know, well, we're talking about Kyron Williams, the Rams
- 1:07:12Speaker 13: leading running back. In the first quarter, he had six
- 1:07:16Speaker 13: attempts for seventy six yards, so's he's at twelve point
- 1:07:19Speaker 13: seven average. And we talked about how Ernest Jones had
- 1:07:24Speaker 13: been out of gaps and Kobe Bryant had mistackles on
- 1:07:28Speaker 13: two of those long runs. But how about this, No
- 1:07:31Speaker 13: he had They had no carries in the second quarter,
- 1:07:33Speaker 13: like Mike what you're saying about the time of possession,
- 1:07:37Speaker 13: and then for the third and fourth quarter he had
- 1:07:43Speaker 13: six carries and he had fifteen yards. So they just
- 1:07:49Speaker 13: you know, this is a constant theme with Mike McDonald
- 1:07:53Speaker 13: that you'll see him give up a long drive to
- 1:07:56Speaker 13: start the game and then they just button it up.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: And no more indicated than yesterday. Mike Homrin, Hugh Millan
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: with us here on Monday morning. Quarterback. Yeah, no doubt
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: about it. I do want to ask both of you
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: this question. Gray's Abel went down late in this game.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: He's been terrific in his rookie season. I think I
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: would give the loss away if I found out today
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: that Gray's Abel was okay and ready to go the
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: rest of the year. But it might not be the case.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: So I'll start with you, coach, and then go to you, Hugh,
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: Just the how big of a loss that could potentially
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: be for a team that finally spent a first round
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: pick on an offensive lineman and that guy was just
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: performing so well, yeah, he really was.
- 1:08:41Speaker 7: And if I don't know if you guys have heard
- 1:08:45Speaker 7: anything or we know anything about the injury, but if
- 1:08:48Speaker 7: it keeps him out for any length of time, that's
- 1:08:51Speaker 7: a big hit because he is You get an offensive
- 1:08:56Speaker 7: lineman and their offensive line is stuck together all season
- 1:08:59Speaker 7: so far. You start losing some people like their center,
- 1:09:03Speaker 7: like like Zabel, you know, then all of a sudden
- 1:09:06Speaker 7: it changes you. You know, it's not the next it's
- 1:09:09Speaker 7: the next guy up. You want to say that, but
- 1:09:12Speaker 7: it changes. And so I'm hopeful, hoping for the best
- 1:09:16Speaker 7: for this young man. Have you guys heard anything about
- 1:09:19Speaker 7: it yet?
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: Just what Greg told us earlier that it doesn't look good,
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: But they didn't, they didn't speculate afterwards. It just was
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: I don't know if there was a real positive feeling
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: afterwards that he's fine.
- 1:09:35Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, if if they that would be a big hit.
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: Dell and Mike has shown the team has shown real
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: resilience in handling injury situations, but it's still a big
- 1:09:47Speaker 7: hit when you lose alignment like that.
- 1:09:49Speaker 13: You yeah, yeah, and I think it's compounded that you
- 1:09:53Speaker 13: had this situation. You know, Sundel and Zabel had played
- 1:09:57Speaker 13: together as we all know, at North Dakota's eight and
- 1:10:00Speaker 13: so they had this kind of you know, telepathy with
- 1:10:03Speaker 13: each other and they're both high IQ guys. Now with
- 1:10:07Speaker 13: the center, we don't know when Sundell's coming back, but Alua,
- 1:10:11Speaker 13: Timmy and then the other part of it is Christian Haynes.
- 1:10:15Speaker 13: He's been a right guard almost exclusively as a Sea
- 1:10:18Speaker 13: Hawk when when he was at Yukon he was right
- 1:10:21Speaker 13: guard for four years. So now Mike, he's going to
- 1:10:25Speaker 13: left guard. His reps at left guard it's probably, you know,
- 1:10:29Speaker 13: for every fifty reps he has as a right guard
- 1:10:34Speaker 13: in his career, he's got no more than one, probably
- 1:10:37Speaker 13: more like one hundred to one, So that that can
- 1:10:39Speaker 13: be a challenge too, going over that left side.
- 1:10:42Speaker 7: Oh, there's no question, and you know it kills me
- 1:10:44Speaker 7: when the well he's a right guard, left guard is
- 1:10:47Speaker 7: a guard. No you get used to playing on the
- 1:10:50Speaker 7: right side with your hand a certain way, and foot
- 1:10:53Speaker 7: work a certain way. You have to move over the
- 1:10:55Speaker 7: left side. You can do it. You know, he's a big,
- 1:10:57Speaker 7: strong offensive lineman. But it is different and there are
- 1:11:01Speaker 7: challenges and it's just not automatic.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: All right, Well, coming up on the other side, we
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: got one last thing for a coach. And you heard
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: him earlier. I think he pretty much said he was
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: going to rip the heart out of NFL officials. So yeah,
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: talk about a cliffhanger. We're going to get the actual
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: result next sports something like that, something similar to that.
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: I don't know, I might be embellishing a little bit here, coach,
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: but anyway, we're going to get to that next on
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: KJAR right, final segment here checking back in the morning
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: sports radio on ninety three point three kJ R FM.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: We've been Monday Morning quarterbacking of course today and Coach
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: Holgren's portion brought to you by slab Jack R and
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: R Foundation specialist in Toyota of Kirkland. Check out the
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: entire vehicle inventory at Toyota of Kirkland dot com or
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: stop by the showroom time for one last thing, Bucky,
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: what do you got for coach?
- 1:11:57Speaker 8: Coach? Al Im Pressed?
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Are you with aj Barner big yesterday biggest game of
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: his career as a professional. I mean it comes in
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: a loss, but at the same time finding his way open.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: He seems to be more and more comfortable.
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: And it's always a nice thing to have as an outlet,
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: as a nice tight end that you feel comfortable that
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: they're going.
- 1:12:13Speaker 8: To catch it.
- 1:12:13Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know they came into this season,
- 1:12:17Speaker 7: I think with a group of tight ends and someone
- 1:12:20Speaker 7: had they felt had to emerge, and he has done that.
- 1:12:23Speaker 7: And I personally think that is a huge part of
- 1:12:27Speaker 7: your passing game. I've always said that sometimes you don't
- 1:12:30Speaker 7: sometimes you get a blocking tight end. But this guy,
- 1:12:33Speaker 7: I think can do it all. And let's take away
- 1:12:36Speaker 7: the touch push for a second, but I think as
- 1:12:39Speaker 7: a tight end that he's the real deal and he's
- 1:12:42Speaker 7: going to be good for.
- 1:12:42Speaker 9: A long time.
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: Here what he got for coach? I would like to
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: ask you, Mike.
- 1:12:49Speaker 13: Of course we're getting new information every week, but give
- 1:12:52Speaker 13: us an update about how you feel about the running
- 1:12:55Speaker 13: backs for the Seahawks, And if you're coaching this team,
- 1:13:00Speaker 13: would you be used using them the way you're what
- 1:13:04Speaker 13: you're seeing or would you be using them differently?
- 1:13:07Speaker 8: And If so, how so I would I'd be using
- 1:13:10Speaker 8: Walker more.
- 1:13:11Speaker 7: That's that's my takeaway from it. I think he's really
- 1:13:14Speaker 7: good and he you know, he's We've talked about this
- 1:13:18Speaker 7: before on the air. I think he's really good and
- 1:13:21Speaker 7: he is good. But they've chosen I. Maybe it's a
- 1:13:24Speaker 7: health thing, maybe it's I don't know what the rationale is.
- 1:13:29Speaker 7: I would ask Mike that if I saw him, you know,
- 1:13:31Speaker 7: but uh, he Walker yesterday. You saw it on occasion
- 1:13:37Speaker 7: that he can bust things right away, he can change
- 1:13:39Speaker 7: the game for.
- 1:13:39Speaker 8: You right away.
- 1:13:40Speaker 7: And that's taking nothing away from Charbonnay. I think he's good,
- 1:13:44Speaker 7: but he's the second guy, you know, and so I
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: played the first guy more and you.
- 1:13:48Speaker 13: Know, Mike, Just to put that into context, I looked
- 1:13:50Speaker 13: up your your two thousand ar super Bowl year with
- 1:13:54Speaker 13: us with the Seahawks. Uh yeah, obviously, Sewn Alexander three
- 1:13:58Speaker 13: hundred and seventy carries. Mo Morris the number two guy,
- 1:14:02Speaker 13: had seventy, so he had nineteen percent. Moors had nineteen
- 1:14:05Speaker 13: percent of the carriers that Sean had, whereas Charbonnet has
- 1:14:10Speaker 13: seventy seven percent of K nine. Now I'm you know, say, well,
- 1:14:14Speaker 13: there are different players. Yeah, but that's a that's a
- 1:14:17Speaker 13: big difference.
- 1:14:18Speaker 7: Yeah, but I think, you know, Hugh, I think it's
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: you look at every team now is playing going with
- 1:14:22Speaker 7: two backs most teams, so that there's a difference there.
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: And I'm still kind of curious as to why. You know,
- 1:14:30Speaker 7: I think it's maybe I don't know. I don't have
- 1:14:32Speaker 7: an answer for that, but I play Walker more.
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: I hope Sean Alexander still sends you Christmas cookies every
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: year for how many balls.
- 1:14:39Speaker 7: Do you give him? He's got to take care of
- 1:14:42Speaker 7: his family. You know, he's got he's got twenty seven kids.
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: All right, Well, what is this bone you've got to
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: pick this week? With NFL officials and keep in mind
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: Hughes in the room.
- 1:14:57Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I know, I think they're great. I love
- 1:15:00Speaker 7: those guys. They never make mistakes, you know. I I
- 1:15:04Speaker 7: don't know, you misunderstood what I said. I think, and
- 1:15:10Speaker 7: explain explain this to me. They have this new thing
- 1:15:12Speaker 7: where they check they they put that line for first downs.
- 1:15:17Speaker 7: They did it yesterday, you know, from the from the
- 1:15:20Speaker 7: the technical stuff. But if the guy, if the if
- 1:15:25Speaker 7: the official places the ball wrong and they say, oh no,
- 1:15:30Speaker 7: we'll check it with this line. Oh, what does that
- 1:15:33Speaker 7: have to do with the he placed it wrong, he
- 1:15:35Speaker 7: missed it. I don't get that. Explain you would you
- 1:15:39Speaker 7: explain that to me?
- 1:15:40Speaker 13: Please listen it all everything, all, the answer to all
- 1:15:44Speaker 13: your official questions comes back to if they're full time
- 1:15:48Speaker 13: officials and they're doing virtual reality all day, their eyes
- 1:15:53Speaker 13: are going to be faster like like I. Honestly, I
- 1:15:57Speaker 13: don't even understand. I think anybody who did disagrees with
- 1:16:00Speaker 13: that statement should be institutionalized. It's so axiomatic that I
- 1:16:08Speaker 13: share your exasperation, but I'm I'm perhaps more exasperated because
- 1:16:13Speaker 13: I feel like there's at least a solution this should
- 1:16:15Speaker 13: be tried.
- 1:16:16Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, Chuck, I'm sorry I brought that up,
- 1:16:19Speaker 7: but you know I wanted to hear what you I
- 1:16:22Speaker 7: didn't know what you thought about this.
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: All these years. Yeah, tired of beating around this year
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: ran about it, so yeah, I needed another fresh ran.
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: Yeah you stop beating around the bush. Finally tell us
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: what you really feel. Hey, I'm going to lose the
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: last minute. I don't want to end on a somber note.
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: This is happening way too frequently. But Hugh, I'm sure
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: you've got some great member memories of Kenny Easley as
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: a Seahawk fan here in town, and we lost him
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: over the weekend, and so I didn't know if you
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: wanted to share a thing or two a memory about
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: Kenny Easily before we came.
- 1:16:57Speaker 13: I think he played in an era, Mike, you remember,
- 1:17:00Speaker 13: you know, it was just different then because they didn't
- 1:17:03Speaker 13: protect receivers.
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: So it was kind of.
- 1:17:06Speaker 13: The way was like, hey, you're value to be a headhunter,
- 1:17:10Speaker 13: and if it's helmet to helmet contact and the guy
- 1:17:13Speaker 13: gets knocked out, so be it.
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: It was just a different style.
- 1:17:17Speaker 9: Uh.
- 1:17:17Speaker 13: And and so he was a great athlete with a
- 1:17:21Speaker 13: headhunter mentality, and uh, you know, just sol I mean,
- 1:17:25Speaker 13: put it this way. Ronnie lott Mike, you know, he
- 1:17:29Speaker 13: said the one guy that he modeled his game after
- 1:17:32Speaker 13: was Kenny Easily, And that should tell you everything, you know,
- 1:17:35Speaker 13: because Ronnie lott Is is generally regarded as the greatest
- 1:17:38Speaker 13: safety you ever played.
- 1:17:40Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, the game has changed and
- 1:17:44Speaker 7: he was very physical and so valuable to the Seahawks
- 1:17:49Speaker 7: in those days. So anytime I read something like that
- 1:17:52Speaker 7: from a young man younger than me, certainly that has
- 1:17:56Speaker 7: passed on you know, there's a certain sadness, but he'll
- 1:17:59Speaker 7: be members. Is one of the great ones all time.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: Absolutely, Thank you gentlemen, you're both two of the great ones.
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: We appreciate it and we will talk to you again soon.
- 1:18:08Speaker 7: Thanks Chuck.
