1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Where we go. We're getting ready for the Hawks and 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Rams on Sunday. 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask Kevin Harland when he comes on the 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: air with us at five o'clock tonight. 5 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: My wife, you guys know my wife, Gina. 6 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: She was asking me the other day who the best 7 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: team in the NFL was, And I actually had to 8 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: kind of pause for a second and think about it, 9 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 2: because I think you could probably argue maybe three or 10 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: four teams it might be the best team in the NFL. 11 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: And I said to her, I said, Babe, there's a 12 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: chance that the best team in the NFL might be 13 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: right here in Seattle. And she says, oh, you're just 14 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: a homer. So I'm gonna ask Kevin Harlan at five 15 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 2: o'clock tonight if I told you, Dick that the best 16 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 2: team in the NFL right now was the Seattle Seahawks. 17 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: And I know Pro Football Focus I believe has I'm 18 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: number one in the National Football League. There's some power 19 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: rankings you're gonna hear from Steven A. Smith at three 20 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 2: forty five today and he gives you his top five 21 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: in the National Football League? 22 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: Am I being a total complete homer? Guys? 23 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: If I go on the air, and I tell you 24 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: that the Seahawks are the best team in the NFL 25 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: right now. 26 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: No, I only think you're being a homer if you 27 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: say they're clearly the best team in the NFL right now. 28 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: Because the Rams, the Eagles, the Lions, the Seahawks, I 29 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 3: think all can claim best in the NFC and maybe 30 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 3: even best in the NFL. And then you look at 31 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: the AFC, the Patriots, the Colts, the Chiefs, even though 32 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 3: they're five and four. I mean, I guess you can 33 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 3: say the Broncos because they're eight and two. I don't 34 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: think they're that good, right. But that's the crazy thing 35 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: about twenty twenty five. I can't remember a season where 36 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: we were this deep into the year and you could 37 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 3: say there are legitimately thirteen or fourteen teams that could 38 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: shut their eyes and envision themselves in the super Bowl, 39 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: and we're in November twelfth. That never happens. 40 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 2: In Well, I was actually tying to Kevin and he's 41 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: got the stat I don't know exactly what it is. 42 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: We're talking this morning over text, and he said he 43 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: was handed a note during the game on Sunday or 44 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: after the game. Sorry, last Monday night, because he was 45 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: doing the Eagles Packers game for radio that this is 46 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: the first time since whenever that every team in the 47 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: NFL this early in the year already has two losses. 48 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: Every team, like normally there's either an undefeated team or 49 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: a team with one loss. Every team's got two losses. 50 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 2: So I think the parody in the NFL is ridiculous. 51 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: The NFL does parody better than anybody, and they're doing 52 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: it big time right now. So I just think with 53 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: this Seahawk football team, man, the way their defense is playing, 54 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: and I'm so impressed that they keep losing people and 55 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. I'm not breaking new ground here with 56 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: this opinion. I think we all understand what the Hawks 57 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: were down, and they were down right up the freaking gut. 58 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: Man. 59 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: They were down their catcher, their pitcher, their second baseman, 60 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: and their center fielder. In this game with Jaron Reid, 61 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: Ernest Jones and Julia Love, it was crazy, the guts 62 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: of their defense right up the spine. None of them 63 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 2: played and it didn't freaking matter against Arizona. Now maybe 64 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: it'll matter on Sunday against the Rams. We'll find out. 65 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: Ernest Jones sent out some tweet last night. I don't 66 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: even know what the hell it was. 67 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 4: It was wrestler waking up and saying like, I'm back right. 68 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: No, I know that, But is he's saying that he's 69 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: playing on Sunday. Yes, that's what he's pay That's what 70 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: I hate. That's what I gets. 71 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 5: Damn. 72 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 2: If you want to go with that, then go with that. 73 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I hate what athletes do this, man, I 74 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: really hate. It drives me nuts. I hated it ten 75 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: years ago. I hate it now. I mean, I just imagine, 76 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: like Doug Balbyn, Jermaine Kurs just sitting on their deck 77 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: on a Tuesday night, watch me mess with all of 78 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: the world and put this thing on Twitter and have 79 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 2: people lose their minds and try to figure out what 80 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: the hell it means. I saw where Sean McVay said 81 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: the other day he'd be surprised if Devanta Adams did 82 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: not play in the game on Sunday. So you're gonna 83 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: have some guys back, You're gonna have a potential NFC 84 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: Championship matchup. This is I'm looking at this game on Sunday, guys, 85 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: as part one of a two part game that will 86 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: decide the NFC West title. 87 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: This weekend. 88 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: Yes, And I think it's even more of a bonus 89 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: if the Seahawks win, because they already have the tiebreaker 90 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: over the Rams with by one game and they division, 91 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: and they would have a road win over the Rams. 92 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: So I think it's I think it behooves the Rams 93 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: to make sure they get this one. And I'm fully 94 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: confident that the Seahawks can go down there and win 95 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 3: this game. There is only one thing that just keeps 96 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: bothering me, and I want it and I want it 97 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: to be. 98 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: Over with. 99 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: Yes, Walgeren's two for one and and this is totally 100 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: over if the Seahawks win this game, this worry. Here's 101 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: the list of the quarterbacks of the Seahawks have beaten this year, 102 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 3: Mariota Brissette, Kyler Rattler, Lawrence Stroud, and Aaron Rodgers. Not 103 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: one top half quarterback in the NFL. 104 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: Not one. 105 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 3: Now, you can only beat who you faced. And they 106 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: lost a party and they lost a Baker. So I mean, 107 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that they're not a great team because 108 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: they haven't. 109 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: They just haven't yet. 110 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 3: I want them to beat a top five quarterback in 111 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: the NFL, and they. 112 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Have an opportunity to do that on Sunday. 113 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I yeah, Okay, I just I 114 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: wish when you did this on the air that you 115 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 2: would compare and contrast it to what every other team 116 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: and contention in the NFL is done, because it makes 117 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: it sound like the Seahawks are a big, fat sore thumb, 118 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: like some outlier and they haven't beaten anybody yet, right, 119 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: And maybe. 120 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: That's the case. 121 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: Maybe if you did the actual numbers and you gave 122 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: him to me, like I'm just taking a quick glance 123 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: at the Rams. The Rams were seven to two. Same, 124 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 2: they've well, they've beaten Lamar and they've beaten Daniel Jones. 125 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: Actually did Lamar play? 126 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: Lamar didn't play in that game. He did not, Okay, 127 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: so they just had beaten Daniel Jones. It'd be better 128 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: than Jones. 129 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: J Cooper Rush was the quarterback when they beat the 130 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: Ravens and they beat Daniel Jones and they beat him 131 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty. Right, I mean, so one game 132 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: against the guy, and the game was at home against 133 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: the Rams obviously, and Jones threw a couple of picks. 134 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: In that game. 135 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 2: But hey, I mean, everyone's waiting for something. Nobody wants 136 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: to proclaim anything. They all want to wait for disaster 137 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 2: to strike, Steven A wants to wait for Sam Darnold 138 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: to piss himself in the playoffs, and you want to 139 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: find out what happens when they face a real quarterback. 140 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: Let's find out what Mike Florio thinks.

I 174 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 5: think one thing they need to do going forwards, they 175 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 5: need to be careful about the games they schedule in November, 176 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 5: because by November the bad teams are known. Why do 177 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 5: we have the Raiders in back to back frimetime games? 178 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 5: Why why are we gonna have the Raiders and Cowboys 179 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 5: Monday Night? When there are five or six games that 180 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 5: could have been moved from this Sunday that would be 181 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 5: far better, including what I think is one of the 182 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 5: best games of the day other than Lions Eagles and 183 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 5: became Peacocks seven o'clock Eastern, four o'clock Pacific coverage begins 184 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 5: on those two platforms, But other than that one, this 185 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: is the game of the weekend because you look at 186 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 5: these two games, all right, whoever wins Lions Eagle and 187 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 5: whoever wins Seahawks Rams, those two teams are going to 188 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 5: be for now penciled in as the primary number one 189 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 5: seed contenders in the NFC. 190 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: Totally agree, And you know, I'm just not ready to 191 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: steal a term from Denny Green. I'm not ready to 192 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: crown their ass until they face a quarterback the caliber 193 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: of a quarterback they'll actually face in January in the playoffs. 194 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Is that an unreasonable position? 195 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 5: No, No, not at all. Wan Matthew Stafford is having 196 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: an MVP season. You've got nineteen touchdown passes and no picks. 197 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 5: Thet'll last three games. First guy ever to have three 198 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 5: straight games with four more touchdown passes and no interceptions. 199 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 5: So this is a high end team. This is the 200 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 5: team that's currently number one in the all important and 201 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 5: completely binding PFC Power rankings in the LA Rams. They've 202 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 5: got a great defense. They've got four games already this 203 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 5: year they've held the opponent to ten points or fewer, 204 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 5: so they're balanced, they're they're good. And the Seahawks, if 205 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 5: they can win this one, yeah, people are going to 206 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 5: be paying attention and they're going to move up from six. 207 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 5: They probably should be higher than six. But you know, 208 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 5: there's an old school ap UPI College Football poll field 209 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 5: of this, where as you're climbing, no matter how good 210 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 5: you are, you gotta wait for the teams in front 211 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 5: of you to lose. And that's kind of where the 212 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 5: Seahawks are right now. They're waiting for the teams in 213 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 5: front of him to lose as they keep winning. 214 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: What do you make of what happened in New York 215 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: over the weekend? Brian Dable fired Jamis Winston elevated to 216 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: number two. He'll start because Jackson Dart's got the concussion, 217 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: and that means all Russell Wilson it's going to be 218 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: the third stringer. I don't know if you saw the 219 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: video of his postgame interaction with the media mic after 220 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 2: the game, but he did. 221 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: The guy just looks freaking beat down, dude, beat down. 222 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 2: Is this the end of the line you think for 223 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson well as a starter? 224 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 5: Yes, Now, if he's willing to continue to collect an 225 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 5: NFL paycheck to be a number two or a number 226 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: three quarterback, then he could make the minimum or four 227 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,599 Speaker 5: or five million. I don't know. I was surprised that 228 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 5: the Giants signed and the Steelers wanted nothing to do 229 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 5: with them, And there's connections between the two franchises, Pittsburgh 230 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 5: and New York, family connections. I don't know what the 231 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 5: Giants did by way of their homework on finding out 232 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: why the Steelers didn't want Russell Wilson. You know, the 233 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 5: Steelers initially said that between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, 234 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 5: eight want to keep one of the other. And then 235 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 5: the moment Justin Field signed with the Jets, there was 236 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 5: no further mention of Russell Wilson. So I think it's 237 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 5: over for him as a starter, without questions. It already 238 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 5: was over for him even before he started a single 239 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 5: game this year. I don't know why or how that happened. 240 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 5: And hey, he's had his career, he's been very effective. 241 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 5: You know, he's one of those guys who said he 242 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 5: wanted to play until he's forty five. Father time is 243 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 5: not going to allow you to play until forty five. 244 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: If your game is. 245 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 5: Heavily premised on mobility, if it's your arm with minimum mobility, 246 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 5: you can make it past the age of forty. But 247 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 5: we're seeing with Russell Wilson, once the legs start to go, 248 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 5: the game goes with it. 249 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: Is Dabel destined for a coordinator position? Or if Buffalo 250 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 3: fails to reach their goals this year, would they consider 251 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 3: replacing Sean McDermott with Dabol and reuniting him with Josh Allen. 252 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 5: Well, there's never been any tangible noise out of Buffalo 253 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: that owner Terry Pegoula is sufficiently bothered by the annual 254 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 5: failure to get to a Super Bowl to make changes. 255 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 5: But I think there are fair questions to be asked 256 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: about who's to blame for the inability of the Bills 257 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 5: to maximize the fact that they've got a generational talent 258 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 5: in Josh Allen, And you could argue they don't have 259 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 5: enough help around him, which is a GM Brandon Bean problem. 260 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 5: You can argue that the coaching isn't good enough, which 261 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 5: is a head coach Sean McDermott problem. You could send 262 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 5: them both out the door and start over again. And 263 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 5: I'm a big proponent in no half measures when it 264 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 5: comes to coaching GM. I think that to have the 265 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 5: most properly functioning organization, it has to be both coach 266 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 5: and GM stay, or both coach and GM go, because 267 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 5: if either guy believes there's an avenue to safety, if 268 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 5: the other guy takes the fall, when things start to 269 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 5: go sideways, and for most teams they go sideways at 270 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: some point, each guy has an incentive to try to 271 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 5: blame the other and that creates a mess. And that's 272 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 5: what the Giants did, That's what the Dolphins did recently, 273 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 5: and I just don't like that. I'm not saying Joe 274 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 5: Shane should be fired by the Giants. I'm just saying 275 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 5: you either fire both or you fire neither. And that's 276 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 5: going to be a question in Buffalo if Terry Pergula 277 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 5: decides that eight years Josh Allen and no Super Bowl 278 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 5: appearance means it's time to make changes. And hey, there's 279 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 5: going to be some names available. You've already got Dave 280 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 5: Ball out there. Matt Laflour could be in trouble in 281 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 5: Green Bay if they don't make the playoffs because the 282 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 5: new president of the team had policy has said no 283 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 5: new contracts this year from Lafloor or the GM Bryan Gudikountz, 284 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 5: and they're signed through twenty twenty six and policies made 285 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 5: it clear he's not a fan of lame duck season. 286 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 5: So they're going to be up or out at this year. 287 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 5: So you never know who's going to be available for 288 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 5: the Giants. You never know where the job is going 289 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 5: to come open. He could be a crazy coach thereself. 290 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: Mike Florio with US Courtesia simply Seattle every Wednesday at 291 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: three ten here on the program, and Mike, I think 292 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of a dearth of real, super 293 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 2: sexy candidates to be head coaches these days, and not 294 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: just in the NFL. 295 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, good word, I look it up by it. 296 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, the same thing in college football, right There's just 297 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: not a lot of big name candidates. And I wonder 298 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: when you have a team like the Seahawks, who has 299 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: the second best point differential in football. Dick and I 300 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: have both met Clint Kubiak in person, he might be 301 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: a great coordinator. I don't think he's got the goods 302 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: to command the locker room in the NFL, though personality 303 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 2: wise as a head coach, how much of his name 304 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: do you think we're going to hear for head coaching vacancies. 305 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: If the offense in Seattle keeps this. 306 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 5: Up, I think he will be out there and he 307 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 5: will get interviews because of said dearth as it relates 308 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 5: to candidates for both NFL jobs and big time college jobs. Look, 309 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 5: there's no Ben Johnson this year. There's no clear and 310 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 5: obvious guy who's been on the radar screen for multiple 311 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 5: seasons and now it's his time to ascend. And Clint 312 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 5: Kubiak isn't anyone we expected to be on the radar 313 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 5: this year. And this is how it happens. You know, 314 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 5: the owners really don't know what to do and they 315 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 5: don't want to admit to anyone, including themselves, they don't 316 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 5: know what to do. So the media is the one 317 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 5: that gives life to these candidates and one of the 318 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 5: sneaky persuasive tools. And it shows you how much power 319 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 5: they have, the people who determine the shots during games, 320 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 5: and how many sideline images or booth images. We're going 321 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 5: to have of coordinators that can take on the life 322 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 5: of its own and that can create something out of 323 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 5: nothing for some of these guys. But when you look 324 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 5: at what the Seahawks offense is doing, Yes, there's going 325 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 5: to be some interviews for Clint Kubiak, and then it's 326 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 5: up to him to convince an owner to give it 327 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 5: a shot. But there's always a risk the coordinator who's 328 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 5: never been a head coach before doesn't have the skill set. 329 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 5: It's a very different job, and for every guy that 330 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 5: makes it, the guy that never should have had the opportunity. 331 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: No doubt. 332 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: Mike, do you really buy the Joe Burrow's going to 333 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: come back a month early and play on Thanksgiving? Well? 334 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 5: I do, because look, and I don't want to be 335 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 5: any more of a jerk than I already am. But 336 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 5: we just accept these initial reports that come out about 337 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 5: a guy's expected absences gospel truth. I mean, the insiders 338 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 5: just passing along whatever the agent tells them. You could 339 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 5: tell them anything and they'll just rush to Twitter with it. 340 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 5: Because the whole objective is to be the first one 341 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 5: to thumb out the text or copy and paste it. 342 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 5: As some of them do, because I know because I've 343 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 5: gotten the same text and I've seen it word for word, 344 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 5: copied and pasted into someone's Twitter message. But that's all 345 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 5: it's about. It's not about accuracy. You know, when JJ 346 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 5: McCarthy hurt his ankle, the prevailing report two to four weeks, well, 347 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 5: we ended up missing seven weeks before we played again, 348 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 5: And the initial reports for Burrow was mid December at 349 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 5: the earliest. Breathels reporting Monday Night Football has time, Mitch 350 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 5: just sever at the earliest, and by the time the 351 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 5: guy comes back, we've all forgotten it. And I think 352 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 5: there is a chance he's going to come back, because 353 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 5: when you open that twenty one day window to practice 354 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 5: for a guy who's on IR, if he isn't added 355 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 5: to the fifty three man roster at the end of 356 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 5: the twenty one days, he goes to the i R 357 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 5: for the rest of the season. So I don't think 358 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 5: the Bengals are playing a game here. I think they're 359 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 5: getting this guy ready to play Thanksgiving Night on NBCM 360 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 5: Peacock Ravens Bengals, and the Bengals actually have a way 361 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 5: to pull an inside straight and win that division. They're 362 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 5: a game behind the Ravens, two games behind the Steelers. 363 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 5: They beating the Steelers. You get a crack out of 364 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 5: it again this weekend. They still have two games against 365 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 5: the Ravens. They could win enough games. 366 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: To win the division. 367 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 5: And no matter how bad those teams are, one of 368 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 5: those teams is going goes to the playoff game. 369 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: How much trouble is Sean mcdermoden in Buffalo you think, honestly. 370 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 5: We're alre He talked about it. Man, Are you not listening? Yeah, 371 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 5: I'm doing. 372 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: But you mentioned Steven A. 373 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 5: Smith's Solitaire game. 374 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: I actually am playing Solitaire on my phone. I mean, 375 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: do you think he's going to get fired? 376 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: I want you to. Oh, that's what I'm asking you. 377 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 5: I think if they don't make the playoffs, he's got 378 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 5: a real problem. And if they do anything other than 379 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 5: get to the divisional round, it looks we don't know 380 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 5: because there's only one person who has a vote. This 381 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: is the reality. The owner of the team is the 382 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 5: one who makes the decision, and the owner of the 383 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 5: team is the one who has no accountability to anyone 384 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 5: unless than until the fan base will collectively rise up 385 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 5: and deprive itself. 386 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: Of the thing. 387 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 5: It loves like a family member and hates like a 388 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 5: family member, as the case may be. They're still going 389 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 5: to make their money. Jed York said it after they 390 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 5: did the Harbaugh out Jim Ton Sula out ship Kelly 391 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 5: out at a press conference. He said, you don't dismiss 392 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 5: the owner, and that's the problem. So the owner can 393 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 5: do whatever he wants. The fans can be up in arms, 394 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 5: they can do a march, they can they can try 395 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 5: to launch a boycott, and it's not going to go 396 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 5: because those fans love that team and they'll accept whatever 397 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 5: the owner decides to do. And it's going to come 398 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 5: down to what Terry Pogola decides to do. 399 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 2: You think Clint Kubia gets any run for a head 400 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 2: And I'm kidding, Hey, Mike, you're the man, great stuff 401 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,959 Speaker 2: and we're talking a week, buddy, Appreciate it. Pal, All right, 402 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: Mike Florio with us on the radio show We got 403 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: Factor Fiction, brought to you by our friends at the 404 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 2: Lucky Eagle Casino and Hotel. It's Wednesday, It's Jackson's Day 405 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: Found with Audio three forty five and then Petrose at 406 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: four Baby coming up on ninety three to three KJRFM 407 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 2: from the R. 408 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 8: And R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. 409 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 7: Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your home for 410 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 7: the Huskies, Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety 411 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 7: three point three kJ R FM. 412 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: All right, we're back on a busy Wednesday. Petros joins 413 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: at four, Kevin Harlan joins at five. But Dick would 414 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: like to correct the record. 415 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 3: Correct the record on the quarterback, So we did. I 416 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: mentioned Mariota. Jaden Daniels did start that game, so that 417 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: is incorrect. However, I don't think any Seahawks fan that 418 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: saw that Jade and Daniels would think it is the 419 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 3: Jade and Daniels of last season. 420 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: Well, it's still Jade Daniels, you know. So whatever in 421 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 1: his first game back from. 422 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 2: Him increases your odds, decreases your odds of being proven rights. 423 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: It made me feel better. 424 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: This is also this is also part of what we 425 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: talked about yesterday, and I will be honest with you, 426 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: I feel like you're. 427 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: Kind of feeding into it right now a little bit. 428 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: What's just a little bit. 429 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 2: We talked yesterday about Sam darn and all the people 430 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: that are waiting for him to fall apart right in 431 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 2: the playoffs, right, Like Stephen A. 432 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: Smith was on ESPN. 433 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 2: You go hear him by the way at three forty 434 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: five to day telling me the times, well you've never 435 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: seen Sam Donald coump playoff time, to which I thought 436 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: to myself, does this guy have like five or six 437 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 2: playoff games under his belt? 438 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 4: Right? 439 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: Not just the one? Just the one? 440 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: So this narrative of him being a third in the 441 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: postseason has apparently developed nationwide because of one game. So 442 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: if they go out on Sunday and Matt Stafford has 443 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: a good game and does what nobody's really done yet, well, 444 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: I guess what Baker did maybe against the Seahawk tea 445 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: did they stake? 446 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: See what happens when they play a good quarterback? 447 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: They suck and Guys, I'm expecting Matt Stafford to have 448 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: a pretty decent game. I'm not expecting him to light 449 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: the Seahawks up because I would always take the great 450 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: defense over the great offense every single time. There's a 451 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: reason why Monday we all agreed on the under in 452 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: this game, right. But if Matt Stafford, who might be 453 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: the MVP, goes out there and has a good game 454 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: against the Hawks, does that mean all of a sudden. 455 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: The Hawks defense is a frost So right now, let 456 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: me give you this. 457 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford passes for let's say, two hundred and seventy yards, 458 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: two touchdowns and a pick. 459 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: You take that right now? Yeah, give me the numbers again, Jackson. 460 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: Two seventy two touchdowns in one pickin the Seahawks defense 461 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: can be better than do they win the game twenty 462 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: seven to twenty three. 463 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 4: My point here is this is that that for me, 464 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 4: like I was talking about this in a friend group, 465 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 4: That's why I had those numbers so easily. Is is 466 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 4: the element of that seems like a pretty reasonable thought 467 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 4: of what he could do. And at the end of 468 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 4: the day, if Matthew Stafford comes away with just two 469 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 4: touchdowns and he turned the ball over, that should. 470 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: Give our offense a chance to win the game. 471 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 3: I better not score a rushing touchdown then, because I 472 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: think if the Rams score three touchdowns we lose. 473 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 9: Wow. 474 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: Really, yeah, we. 475 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 3: We just said the Unders a lot, so forty eight 476 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: and a half they can win the game. 477 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: Think the Rams would score three touchdowns and lose the 478 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: game because they can win the game twenty four to 479 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: twenty one. And if there's a. 480 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 3: Very slim window that they can score three touchdowns and lose, 481 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 3: and lose the game in an under I. 482 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 2: Would not agree. And look, you may be proven right 483 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 2: on Sunday, but I I look, if they score four touchdowns, 484 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 2: I'm way more nervous than three touchdowns. I mean, what 485 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 2: were what was the yards number that you gave us 486 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: for Sunday? To seventy two touch one he averages? He 487 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: averages two seated, he shouldn't get his averages. That's exactly right. 488 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: He just broke it right down there. So and he 489 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 2: averages basically, you know, two and a half touchdowns a game. 490 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: I'm giving you his average if you hold Matt Stafford 491 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 2: to his average and this offense to their average. The 492 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 2: Seahawks defense, look again, this is we can we can 493 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 2: honestly say this without without debate. This is the best 494 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 2: quarterback they face this year, right without pa So the 495 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: numbers should be higher. 496 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: For the opponent. 497 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: They should be if you're facing the best quarterback you've 498 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: seen this year and maybe the best one you'll see 499 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: all year. If there's going to be an outlier for 500 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: the Seahawks schedule defensively and the stats for seventeen weeks, 501 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: it should be Sunday in LA. 502 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: Right, and back to your Darnold point. I mean, I 503 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 3: just think this is a really unique year where most 504 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 3: of the playoff, most of the Super Bowl contenders are 505 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 3: actually better defensively than they are offensively. 506 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: Especially the NFC. 507 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: The Seahawks are that way, the Rams are that way, 508 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 3: the Eagles are that way, the Packers are that way, 509 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 3: like almost every like. 510 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: The Lions aren't. But it's close. 511 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 3: But most NFC, big time Super Bowl teams have awesome defenses. 512 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 3: So Sam darry is not going to walk into the 513 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: NFC playoffs and throw for three touchdowns of three hundred yards. 514 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: Just not gonna happen. Not because he's not good. Well, 515 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 3: just those defenses are great. I just think this, Dick. 516 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: I think to Jackson's point, kind of what would it 517 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 2: take You're asking, what would it take to kind of 518 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: make you accept it? 519 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: Right now? 520 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 2: If if Sam, if Matt Stafford does to the Seahawk 521 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: defense what Baker Mayfield did, that's gonna be a big down, Yeah, 522 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 2: big downer. Because again, guys, like I told you a 523 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: month ago when that game got played, the Star is 524 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 2: the scheme for me. The Star is the scheme, especially 525 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: with the guys being out, and the scheme should never 526 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: allow Baker Mayfield to do what he did in that game, 527 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 2: when he threw for three hundred and eighty yards and 528 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 2: two touchdowns. 529 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: That should not happens an outlier. It's unbelievable that can happen. 530 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: So I think for the Hawks again, I'm expecting Matt 531 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 2: Stafford to have a good game. I'm just hoping he 532 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 2: doesn't have an elite game, because if he does have 533 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: an elite game, then you gotta wonder. I think at 534 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: that point, okay, what happens if they do face and 535 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 2: but again, then I start to think about things like 536 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: what does McDonald do to fix it? Because he fixed 537 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 2: whatever happened versus Tampa. I can tell you that. 538 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 3: I'm all right, let's get let's do the Factor fiction 539 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 3: brought to you by the Lucky Eagle right now, where's that 540 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: to go? 541 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 8: Glad you're with us, it's your shot at our weekly 542 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 8: thousand bucks and the ten thousand dollars grand price.

This is the guy 573 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 2: that I'm thinking of, somebody I'm thinking of. But anyway, 574 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: I thought it was thirteen and a half or is 575 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: it sixteen and a half? 576 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: You sure about that?

I 581 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: think coming off that game on Saturday, I think Jed's pissed. 582 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: I think he wants to like it up on Saturday 583 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: at home. De Mont Williams is a totally different quarterback 584 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 2: at Husky Stadium than he is away from Husky Stadium. 585 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 2: And don't forget, by the way, you know who the 586 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 2: defensive coordinator is for the Huskies right now. So the 587 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 2: Purdue's head coach last year and Ryan Walters, and obviously 588 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: transfer portal changes it a little bit, but I would 589 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: think he would know this defense and their personnel in 590 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: this offense better than anybody. And on top of that, 591 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 2: the new head coach of Purdue is Barry Odom, who 592 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 2: Ryan Walters coached with at Missouri. He knows exactly what 593 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: he's up against this weekend. So we like the dogs 594 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: minus the points against Purdue. 595 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 3: Here's the Huskies scoring offensively at Husky Stadium this year, 596 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 3: thirty eight seventy Ohio State six. This is not Ohio 597 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 3: State thirty eight and forty two of it. They're gonna 598 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: put up forty plus and so Jackson, all they got 599 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: to do is. 600 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: Hold him to twenty four easy and they're going to 601 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: win the game. Yeah, and their defense is easily good. 602 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: Oh god, sixteen in a row. 603 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: They've lost sixteen consecutive games in the Big Ten. Last 604 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: team they beat was Indiana before they hired Kurt Signetti. Wow, 605 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 2: that's the last time Indian lost a Big Ten game. 606 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 2: They fired their coach, they lost to Purdue, and they 607 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 2: hired Kurt Signetti and they can't freaking lose ever since then. 608 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: So you dub minus the points factor fiction four nine 609 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: four to five one.

In his defense, a little bit bull is on crack. 656 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: It's possible, he thinks, for the best team in the 657 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: NFL right now, but then come playoff time, Donald's gonna 658 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: pee his pants and the Hawks are gonna fall apart. 659 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: That is possible.

I am 665 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: surprised that he has that. 666 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: Anybody at ESPN would have a team from Seattle number 667 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 3: one that hasn't already won a Super Bowl or something 668 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: like that. So that's a that there wasn't Dallas, to 669 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 3: be honest with, Yes, that's impressive. And you know, Coward 670 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 3: did is this week and he's got the same top two. 671 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: He's just got him in a different order. He's got 672 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: the Rams one, He's got the Seahawks two. 673 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: This is truly the game of the year. 674 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 2: Who did he have at five and four? Do you 675 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: remember on that list? Because the Colts were number three? 676 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: I think New England was on that list. Yeah, maybe 677 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 2: Kansas City, I'm not sure. 678 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: But how about that? 679 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 2: For all you steven A haters out there, he's got 680 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 2: the Hawks as the number one team in the NFL. 681 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: All right, hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? 682 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: What's that? 683 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: Dick? 684 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 2: Former NFL pass rusher Chris Long hosts The green Light 685 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: podcast and said this about the Seahawks on yesterday's show. 686 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 9: Mike McDonald might end up being one of the dudes. 687 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 9: I mean, he's already well on his way to being 688 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 9: one of the dudes. And for Seattle, let them get 689 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 9: home field advantage and you will be sorry. Let them 690 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 9: get home field advantage. You will be sorry because that 691 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 9: place is hell to play in. In the start of 692 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 9: McDonald's tenure, they were not great at home, and now 693 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 9: all of a sudden they're starting to jump people at 694 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 9: home in the first half and then put it in 695 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 9: cruise control. I'll be interested to look at the All 696 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 9: twenty two to see how much the Shaheed presence changes 697 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 9: the way you know, defenses played this group, well, at 698 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 9: least John Gannett how he played this group because yeah, 699 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 9: one more weapon makes him scary. 700 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 2: By the way, Toyo random, we had that conversation about 701 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: purduing factor of fiction. I just realized to the Seahawk 702 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: defensive tackle was that went to produce Craig Terrell. Yeah, 703 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: I cannot believe it took me that long to figure 704 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 2: that out. Back to Chris Long, Yeah, I mean, do 705 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: we still subscribe to the whole Only way the Hawks 706 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: can get there is if they have home field thing. 707 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they are eleven and one twelve games on 708 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: the road, So. 709 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 3: I do not believe they will win multiple playoff road games. Really, 710 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 3: how many teams they don't need to do multiple playoff 711 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 3: road games? You would if you're not the division champion. 712 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 9: You will. 713 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: They don't need to. 714 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: But for years and years and years, it was always 715 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: you got to get the number one seat, got to 716 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 2: get home field, got to play the NFC championship, right. 717 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: Jackson at home? 718 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 2: Yes, because every year they've gone, they've played it as whole. 719 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: I still believe that, Okay, I still believe. So you 720 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 2: you're saying you don't think the Hawks can win the 721 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: NFC Championship on somebody else's field. 722 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: That's what you're saying. I know what did I just say? 723 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what you said? You did you hear 724 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: what I said? You said you don't think they'll win 725 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: multiple road playoffs? 726 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 9: Right? 727 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: And then I said, they don't have to. They don't 728 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: have to. 729 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: They don't they don't need the number one. They don't 730 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: have to win multiple games. They have to win maybe 731 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 2: one game on the road. 732 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: That's right. No, correct, do you think they can win 733 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: the NFC championship on the road. 734 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,479 Speaker 3: Yes, if they're two seed, I think they could win 735 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 3: at Philadelphia or the Rams. 736 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: Well, we wouldn't be the Rams and Philadelphia or Detroit or. 737 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: Probably Well that's the whole point is that Again, it 738 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: was always about you got to get the number one seed, 739 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 2: man got to play the NFC tattle game at home. 740 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,239 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I believe that right now 741 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: with this team, But do. 742 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 3: You do you agree that they're not going to win 743 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: it from the five seed right with all the parody 744 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 3: in the NFL right now in that three yeah, but 745 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 3: that's my point. You're you're taking a fifty to fifty 746 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 3: game in three weeks in a row and winning all 747 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: of them. 748 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: I would not bet on it, but we've seen it. 749 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 2: The Giants did it. There's also way more parody now, 750 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: there is a buttload of parody. I mean, we can't 751 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 2: sit here and say this thing is wide open and 752 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 2: there's nine or ten teams that can win it and 753 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 2: then totally dismiss the idea of a wildcard team winning 754 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: the title or at least making the Super Bowl. I 755 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: think with the parody in the NFL right now, normally 756 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 2: i'd agree with you with a parody in the NFL. 757 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: Right now it might be possible this year more than ever. 758 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna break Petros Papagas. He's gonna join 759 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 2: us next on ninety three three KJARFM.
