1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Go big thanks to Dukes.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: The barbecue pork ribs are on the menu until I

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: think mid next week is what John said, And they're

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: going away until the fall of next year, until the

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: winter of next year. So jump on the web and

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: get yourself at table Dukeseafood dot com and definitely try

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: those barbecue pork ribs.

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: It's funny, Jackson, Is that your name? Jackson?

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: We were sitting in the sports pit today before the

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: show began and the Mike McDonald news came down and

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: both the John Harbor the sorry John Harbon news, and

12
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: both of us looked at each other and said, you

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: know what, if this were a college football team, we'd

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: be crapping ourselves right now. It's a different world on

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 2: the name, totally crapping ourselves because Mike McDonald was there

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: for how many years, Jackson and Baltimore nine years total

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: with the Ravens. You think they wouldn't love to have

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald back right now replacing John Harbaugh. Well, they're

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: gonna call and they're gonna ask for permission, and they'll

20
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: get denied by the Seahawks. I mean, this is not

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: college football. This is not the idiot land of college football,

22
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: which just reminds you how dumb college football really is.

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're under contract, you're under contract.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine.

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: If the NFL had buyouts the way that college football does,

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: and we're all sitting here looking at Mike McDonald's deal. Dude,

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: the guy's got a four million dollar buyout. Man, that's nothing.

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: Ravens can pay that right away. He's walking out the

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: frickin doors. So thank god the NFL gets it right.

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 2: Unlike college football, Well.

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: They can trade for how many first round draft picks

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: would we hate to give up for Mike McDonald?

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: I mean, what did Gruden?

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: Gruden got two? That's a great question. How many would

35
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: you take?

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 4: Ten?

37
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 5: Not ten?

38
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: Ten?

39
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: I'd take a lot more than Sam Donald.

40
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I do anything to give him up.

41
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: I mean we've had this conversation before about Sam Donald

42
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: and Mike McDonald. So you asked me, you asked me,

43
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: just give me a number four first rounders.

44
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: Sure, Well that's what I talked about on your weeks

45
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: ago when we were talking Sam Donald.

46
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.

47
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.

48
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it because again, guys, these first round

49
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: picks could turn out to be complete turd sandwiches that

50
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 2: are worth nothing.

51
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: You say that, although John Snyder's hit rate is pretty

52
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: damn good.

53
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I understand that. But you've got you.

54
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: But you you use those draft picks, and you spend

55
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: those draft picks to do what to find a quarterback

56
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 2: and to win football games?

57
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: You're already there.

58
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: Why would you even risk taking a step back to

59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: take a step forward to get you right back to

60
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: where you're at today.

61
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: Well, there are many people out there listening. I know

62
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 3: because I've heard from him then saying Mike McDonald can

63
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: because he's Mike McDonald, and because John Schneider's John Schneider.

64
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: There's a lot of quarterbacks that this franchise can win

65
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: with with Mike McDonald, John Schneider and this defense. I'm

66
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: not saying I'm necessarily one of those people, but I

67
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: know there are a ton of people out there that

68
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: feel that way.

69
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's dumb. I mean, I just come out.

70
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I mean, I don't know what you people

71
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: are watching. I don't know what you're looking at. I mean,

72
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: you've got a guy that was just today by a

73
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: impartial entity Bovada named as the favorite to win the

74
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP, and that's Sam Darnold.

75
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Okay.

76
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: I mean you got national radio guys coming out saying

77
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: we got a top ten quarterback in the NFL. I

78
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: saw a couple of accounts over the weekend that we're

79
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: kicking around the idea of the coach of the Year

80
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: and that Mike McDonald might be the best coach in

81
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: football right now. His resume obviously doesn't stack up the

82
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: guys that have been around a long time. I understand that,

83
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 2: but this is ludicrous, guys. I mean again, I'm never one,

84
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: for the most part. Every now and then I'll violate

85
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: my own code. I think we all have a little

86
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: hypocrisy every now and then that comes out.

87
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: We're human beings.

88
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: But this idea that we're sitting here today on the

89
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: precipice of a number one seed at a Seahawk home

90
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: playoff game with fans for the first time since twenty sixteen,

91
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: and the favorite to win the Super Bowl for the

92
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: first time since probably twenty thirteen, at least fourteen by

93
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: the way, and we're here wondering if we could do

94
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: it with a different quarterback or a different head coach

95
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, there are people listening to this radio

96
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: show right now.

97
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: How do you hear this show? It's just explained it

98
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: to me. How do you hear this show with your

99
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: head up your ass?

100
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: Is there a speaker inside your ass that amplifies the

101
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: radio program? When you put your own head up your

102
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: own ass? Does it make it more difficult or easier

103
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: to hear what's coming out of the mouth of me

104
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: and Dick and Jackson? And can you actually watch TV

105
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: and see what these guys are doing on Sundays with

106
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: your head up your own ass?

107
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: So, I mean, what are we doing here? First up,

108
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: we're not doing it. First up, we're not having that conversation.

109
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: But I think I just had it right. And why

110
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: are you the one complaining about it? I would I

111
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: would say this. I would say this. Yesterday, Softie, you

112
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: asked the question, is that what we'll keep the Seahawks

113
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: from winning a Super Bowl? You asked that question, and

114
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: it took me a few minutes, and it took me

115
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: a few hours to kind of think through it. Honestly

116
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: asked that question, Yeah you did and segment and I

117
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: kind of spent a long time thinking about it, and Honestly,

118
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: I kind of think the only thing that keeps the

119
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: seah Iws from winning the Super Bowl is mistakes by

120
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold and and like and like that's kind of

121
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: where I'm at. So, you know, dot dot dot to

122
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: this question right here is you know if Yeah, I

123
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 3: think if there was a I think there's ten quarterbacks

124
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: in the NFL, you can win a Seat.

125
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: Bowl with Well, okay, let me just let me just

126
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: say this, and I mean this with all respect.

127
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so just take this with a grain of salt.

128
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: Okay, the idea that the only thing that can derail

129
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 2: the Seahawks is mistakes by the quarterback, there's a lot

130
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: of teams that can say that, Jackson, Okay, I mean

131
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: if if the Buffalo Bills get pick sixes by Josh Allen,

132
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: if the Niners get fumbles return for touchdowns by Brock Purty.

133
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not a testament my point, right, but

134
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: we're not exactly breaking new ground here, right. I mean

135
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: the idea that this this football team can only be

136
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: beaten if their quarterback barfs on himself. I think there's

137
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: a lot of football teams that would probably say the

138
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: same thing.

139
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: And my point is this. My point is this is.

140
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: That you're going to have to have a quarterback that

141
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: can do some pretty impressive things with the football. I

142
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: got PFF's numbers right in front of me. This guy's

143
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: one of the best deep ball passers in the NFL.

144
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: Would you rather have Gino Smith playing quarterback for this

145
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: football team right now? For how many more million dollars

146
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: a year? By the way, that ten million more? Are

147
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: you guys high? Are you kidding me? Like there should

148
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: be no complaining, no bitching people.

149
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Look if we.

150
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: Want to sit down and break this down like schematically

151
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: and say, hey, what could potentially derail the team? Okay, Jackson,

152
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 2: I'm fine having that conversation. But this idea that Sam

153
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: Darnold is some kind of a bum and that we're

154
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: all waiting for the guy to fall apart, I.

155
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Just don't get it. Who's saying that? Are they need

156
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: then they need to just no, they need to pull

157
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: their heads out of their ass. That's the person I

158
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: was talking about.

159
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: Yes, But I mean, I think you're both right.

160
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: I think that's a I think Softie, what Softie's raising

161
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: is just a stupid argument that people have, Like that's

162
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: just like how many times do you need to see

163
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: Sam Donald play unbelievably in the fourth quarter in overtime

164
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: of huge games? Solid let you know that he is.

165
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: He is a gamer in those types of seditions.

166
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: They win the RAMS game without him in.

167
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Of course not of course not, but Jackson's right as well.

168
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: Like my number one concern would be the turnovers, my

169
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 3: number two concern is kind of holds hands with number one,

170
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: and that is what type of protection does he get?

171
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 3: The PFF Francis is the twentieth rank pass blocking unit

172
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

173
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Not great, not horrible, but low middle right.

174
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: And if that breaks down over the next couple three weeks,

175
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: and that turns into Sam Donald turnovers either fumbles like

176
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: we saw in the first San Francisco game or interceptions

177
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: because the pocket is muddied, then it's gonna be partially

178
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: on Donald and it is gonna be partially on the

179
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: pass play.

180
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, PFF.

181
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: It's funny because PFF has got the Seahawks overall. As

182
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: you said, run blocking they got a greater fifteenth in

183
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: the NFL and ass blocking twentieth in the NFL. I mean,

184
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what more an offensive line does besides

185
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: pass block or run block right, Like do they serve

186
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: ice cream sandwiches at halftime?

187
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they do.

188
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: Pro Football Focus is basically telling you that they think

189
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: that the Seahawks offensive line is below average overall, slightly overall.

190
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: They're telling you that they think they're below average. And

191
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: here we are, and I totally agree. What was it

192
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: you or you or me? I don't who it was?

193
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: Voices all blend together talked about the difference between this

194
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: offensive line that we talk about now and the one

195
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: that we had for three or four years.

196
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I think it was you that said every year there.

197
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: Was offensive line's gonna suck, offensive line's gonna suck, And

198
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: now they kind of don't suck, right, And now we

199
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: know there's four guys coming back next year, you can

200
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: probably lock in his starters, Abe Lucas, Jalen Sundale.

201
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: I think.

202
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: I think Sundale definitely is able and definitely cross. So

203
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: three of the five for sure, maybe four of the five,

204
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: And who knows what they feel about Bradford. They may

205
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: feel like he is deserving of a shot next year.

206
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I'd like to see that spot upgraded,

207
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: but that's just me. The point is that we are

208
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: beyond the dreading the offensive line getting overrun, aren't we? Yes,

209
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: every single Sunday. We don't think they're phenomenal. We don't

210
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: think they're the best. They're not, you know, compared to

211
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Husky offensive line. If there was

212
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: a Joe Moore Award for the NFL, they're not going

213
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: to win it. But they're also not awful anymore. And

214
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: that's a huge step from where these guys were. And

215
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: let's just say the Hawks have the.

216
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: Let's just say the thirtieth pick, right, They're gonna be

217
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: somewhere around there.

218
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: Let's say they have the thirtieth pick in the draft.

219
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: Well, there's only one position usually where you can still

220
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: a lot of years get the best player at that

221
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: position at the thirtieth pick in the draft, and that

222
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: is guard.

223
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: Right, that is guard.

224
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: So go do now, I'm you know, pushing away the

225
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: playoffs for second and looking at the draft. Go do

226
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 3: it right guard in the first round. What you did

227
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: it left guard in the first round last year?

228
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, Gray's Abeles.

229
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean he's been unbelievable, right, I mean, he's been

230
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: everything you wanted.

231
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: The guy to be how many times? How often have

232
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: you heard his name?

233
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: He had that one holding penalty in the last week.

234
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,119
Speaker 1: I was like, what, Wow, that's amazing.

235
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: Disable got called for a pedalty, Yeah, where he kind

236
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: of barely went around and was kind of grabbed him

237
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: on the Kenny Walker run.

238
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: As all you're talking about a week.

239
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: But outside of that, I think we've all been pretty

240
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 2: freaking happy with the way Gray Zabels played this year.

241
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: And I just think again that there's this group of

242
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 2: folks and it's fine.

243
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. It's kind of what makes

244
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: this business work.

245
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, if if everybody who flipped

246
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: on sports talk radio every single day was totally content

247
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 2: with everything going on and happy, trust me, our listenership

248
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: would drop like a boulder.

249
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So you need people like that.

250
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 2: You need the skeptical Lesto B's that are out there

251
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: watching this football team play. But I just don't know

252
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: what more you expected the Seahawks to accomplish over the offseason.

253
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: They've gone from Gino Smith to Sam Darnold in one year.

254
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: They've gone from an offensive line that three years ago

255
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: couldn't block anybody to three years later, an offensive line

256
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: that is generally considered to be at least okay, which.

257
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: Is a gigantic step. They've gone from a guy in.

258
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll who clearly, and I hate to say this

259
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: because I love Pete Carroll, his time in the NFL

260
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: probably should be over to maybe the next great thing

261
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: the NFL head coaching circles has to offer. Have you

262
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: seen some of the names getting kicked around for head

263
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: coach Johnson, I believe recycled craft the same names, Cliff Kingsbury, Vance,

264
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: Joseph Brian Flores, Josh McDaniels, Cliff Kingsbury, blah blah blah.

265
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: And here we have Mike McDonald, who.

266
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Might be the most innovative, young, best defensive mind the

267
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: NFL has to offer. Look at the changes they've made,

268
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: look at the draft picks they've made. What they've been

269
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: able to accomplish in this city has been unbelievable. The

270
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: timing of dumping Russell Wilson before he signed his big contract,

271
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: the timing of moving on from Pete Carroll and hiring

272
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald has been unbelievable.

273
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: By John Schneider, So I don't know, man, Look.

274
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: I get it. People are on edge. Maybe maybe they're

275
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: just skeptical lest bees, and that's where this comes from.

276
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: I get it if you're on edge and you're, you know,

277
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: strongly desiring another Lombardi, and I'm right there with you.

278
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: But this is a time where everybody who's a part

279
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: of this football team right now, and I'm talking about coaches, players,

280
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: support staff, everybody, everybody over there should be celebrated for

281
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: what they just did. And if you don't think that

282
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: what you're seeing right now is good enough, your expectations

283
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: are just like your fricking head right up your own ass, unbelievable.

284
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: Well, and I think that the timing that, sorry Jack,

285
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: the timing that.

286
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: They like to me, I'm with you, Softy Carroll, the

287
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: timing that that he got fired was absolutely perfect. Because

288
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald and Ben Johnson were available. They waited, good

289
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: waited they'd be gone. And look at what's out there

290
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: right now. They're interviewing Clint Kubiak for head coaching jobs.

291
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: There is no Ben Jonson, there is no there is.

292
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: No Mike McDonald out there right Why do we think

293
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak is getting a look as a head coach?

294
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 4: Because the Seahawks are fourteen and three.

295
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: Because of Sam Donald, because of Sam Donald, because of

296
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: John Schneider and the players he put around Sam Darnold,

297
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: and because this defense is good enough to let them

298
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: get to fourteen and three. Right, So if Clint Kubiak,

299
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: where was he at before us? Was he in Marzona?

300
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: The Saints?

301
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: Let's say he stayed with the Saints and he's and

302
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Moore decided for whatever reason?

303
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, you can stay on as might play call.

304
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Nobody's even knowing his name. Are you kidding me?

305
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: Nobody's talking about Clint Kubiak Dick if he's still with

306
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: the Saints.

307
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: Oh, You're exactly right.

308
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes you need that timing and you got to make

309
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: the tough decisions, and John John Schneider made the tough

310
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: decision and everything has worked out even better than the

311
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: biggest optimist out there could have even.

312
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: Been for Yeah, I mean, like we said yesterday, this

313
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 2: is almost like a little bit too far ahead of

314
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: pace for this team. Right, Like if I would have

315
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: told you a year and a half ago when they

316
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: hired Mike McDonald hey Dick in January of twenty six,

317
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: they're going to be the number one seed in the NFC.

318
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 2: Have the best record in the NFL or the Broncos

319
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: also fourteen and three, by the way, so they'll be

320
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: tied with Denver for the best record in the NFL.

321
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna have a starting quarterback who's twenty eight and

322
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: six in his last thirty four starts in the regular season.

323
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,239
Speaker 1: You would have said that's ludicrous.

324
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, nobody does that like I think we need

325
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: to understand what John Schneider's doing is very rare. How

326
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: many general managers, off the top of your head, can

327
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: you name that had great success in the early part

328
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: of one decade and then waited another ten twelve years

329
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: to do it again?

330
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: One is it Ozzie Knew? Is that right? Is there

331
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: anybody else that comes to mind?

332
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: Him?

333
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: And I'm sure if we did little research we could

334
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: find somebody. The Patriot who is the Patriots?

335
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 5: Well?

336
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Was Bill Belichi g GM the whole time? I said,

337
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick the whole time?

338
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean, and he had the greatest quarterback in the

339
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: history of the NFL. So how many general managers have

340
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: done what John Schneider has done? I mean, we talked

341
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: about this, Dick. I think you and I maybe a

342
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: couple weeks ago that if John Schneider makes the Super

343
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Bowl this year, he's probably locked himself up as a

344
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame executive. He might be a Hall of

345
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: Famer already, to be honest with you. But you know,

346
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: that's a good question for Sando. If he makes the

347
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowl this year, can we sharp beat John Schneider

348
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: in with a gold jack.

349
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 4: Three super Bowls in eleven.

350
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Yes, years, But that's the difference. Rights, It's a.

351
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 4: Totally new team, and I think that's even hard team.

352
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: He talked about that with like NBA coaches, Right, We've

353
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: talked about that with guys who take over crap like

354
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: Larry Brown. How many college programs did he take over

355
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: that were crappy and lead him to the Final four

356
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 3: and do it again and again. To me, that's harder

357
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: than just staying at one spot and winning the whole time.

358
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: I think it's very difficult in the era of free

359
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: agency to do it. You know, Like people go back

360
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: and they say, well, look at what Tom Landry did. Okay,

361
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: but Tom Landry his players had nowhere to go. They

362
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: were locked in there, right, they were prisoners. They couldn't leave.

363
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: But for John Schneider to literally take a roster and

364
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: flip it over. Not just flip it over, but flip

365
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: it over two or three times.

366
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Right.

367
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: This is not like he took four guys and staid,

368
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: give me a new fifty whatever.

369
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: This is a.

370
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: Totally different club, different leadership, different players, different coaches, different everything.

371
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: The only consistent theme in this entire process, I'm sorry,

372
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: has been John Schneider because Paul Allen passed away.

373
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: And there's no players left. That's it.

374
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: That's the only consistent theme.

375
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: And for this guy to do this again, guys, I'll

376
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: be totally honest with you. I know I've used the

377
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: word ass a lot in the opening segment of this

378
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: radio show. And for all the kids out there and

379
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: the fathers and mothers who are offended, I apologize. Give

380
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: me your just shoot me an email to send you

381
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: five bucks to Taco time to make it up for you.

382
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: I don't think we spend enough time kissing his ass

383
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: on this radio station, because in this business, you know this,

384
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: we'll go the other way and rip guys when they

385
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 2: don't do well, will criticize them. And we spent the

386
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: entire offseason, at least a lot of us did, and

387
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: I will raise my hand.

388
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: I have no problem admitting it all right, he spent.

389
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: The entire offseason wondering if John Schneider was the guy,

390
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: could he do it again? Does he have enough left

391
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: in the tank to build this thing back up? So

392
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: if we're gonna sit here for six months and be

393
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: skeptical of somebody, when the guy delivers, we have to

394
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 2: give him his praise and his credit. John Schneider is

395
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: almost doing the impossible. Guys in the NFL, this doesn't

396
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: happen where a general manager sticks around this long and

397
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: has the dip that Schneider had, which, by the way,

398
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 2: wasn't that big of a dip comparatively speaking.

399
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 3: But part of it was his own doing because trading

400
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: away his first round picks for guys like Jimmy Graham,

401
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 3: and he was a victim of his own harve standards

402
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: that he set for himself, right, there's no question about that.

403
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: Like going nine and eight, nine and seven wasn't good enough.

404
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: But I don't think we spend enough time on this

405
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: radio show kissing that guy's butt. He freaking deserves it.

406
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: So we are damn lucky to have him in Seattle.

407
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: This is two general managers in the last six months

408
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: that were like kissing their butt. Right, we did it

409
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: with Jerry all fall off, so we're doing it with

410
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 3: John Snyder. Now we're in such a good mood right now.

411
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: Let me just let me just fast forward, let's say

412
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: two three months, and let me paint this picture. Is

413
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: that the Seattle Mariners are going in is one of

414
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 3: the top two favorites to get back to the World

415
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: Series from the American League. The Seattle Seahawks are coming

416
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: off of Super Bowl Championship. The announcement has come from

417
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: Adam Silver that the songs are returning, and then everything else.

418
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: We Seattle then becomes the face of the global sports world.

419
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that?

420
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the Mariners have a lot of work to

421
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: do to catch up to John Schneider. Okay, yes, they

422
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: have a lot of work to do right now.

423
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: My point was that we kissed Jerry to Poto's ass, rightfully,

424
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 3: so for the last three months of the season for sure,

425
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 3: since the trade.

426
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: Dead, and he deserves it.

427
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: But again, I mean, you know, look, I mean the

428
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 2: whole point of and I don't want to get off

429
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: track here, but the whole point of that tear down

430
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: by the Mariners, I think we'll agree, wasn't to make

431
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 2: Game seven of the AOC. Yes, it was to get

432
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: to a World Series and win it, right, that was

433
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: the So I mean, look, we we could very well

434
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: be sitting here. Nobody would be surprised if in five

435
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: weeks from now we're sitting here talking about the Seahawks

436
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 2: having a parade, and the parade might even be today,

437
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: on this Tuesday, by the way, we could be literally

438
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: sitting here in six weeks with a parade.

439
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 4: Is it going to be four degrees like it was

440
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: the last time?

441
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

442
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 5: I just.

443
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 2: For people that aren't satisfied with this, I don't know

444
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: what more you could have expected.

445
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, I just really don't. Well, there are a Super.

446
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 3: Bowl championship or bust. People out there that think you're

447
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: season is a failure.

448
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: If you don't win a sum And I told you

449
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: guys yesterday, I'm going to be disappointed if the Seahawks

450
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: don't make the Super Bowl.

451
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: That's you know, and I understand that.

452
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: But I'm just talking about like, if you're if you're

453
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: not happy with the move from Gino Smith to Sam Darnold,

454
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: what did you think you should have gotten Patrick Mahomes and.

455
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: His prime Joe Montana, Dan Marino.

456
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: I mean honestly, like, if this isn't good enough to

457
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: jump from Gino to same, if that's not good enough

458
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 2: to please you, what would please you? In reality? What

459
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,120

00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: coming up at four o'clock this afternoon for some Seahawk conversation.

472
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: John Wilner will join us as well. One of the

473
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: conversations we will have with John. You see the big

474
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: news involving the depth at running back for the Oregon

475
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: Ducks today, Jordan Davidson's got a broken clavicle.

476
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: He scored a touchdown last week.

477
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: I had two against Sexast Tech yeah, ten carries ninety

478
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: yards against JMU, couple of touchdowns against Tessa Texas Tech.

479
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: And they still have Whitnington obviously, but Jordan Davidson likely

480
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: not going to play in the game on Friday. And

481
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: I want to get a take from you guys if

482
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: you feel the same way I do, because there's a

483
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: couple of people that have asked me, would you take

484
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: an Oregon National championship if it meant the Seahawks won

485
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl? And I said absolutely, yes, yes, one

486
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: hundred percent, I would do it.

487
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: Now part of it makes you want to vomit in

488
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: your own mouth as soon as it is to raise

489
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 3: the zero sign over your head. Yes for the National

490
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 3: champions Yes, that.

491
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: Would be over.

492
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of Oregon Duck fans, by the way,

493
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: I just have you guys know that you not that

494
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: you don't know this, that are also Seahawk fans. By

495
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: the way, tons of Oregon fans are also Seahawk fans

496
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: and Mariner fans, and they used to be Sonic fans

497
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: back in the day. But the point is this, I'm

498
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: not I don't have and maybe it's because of what's

499
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 2: going on with the Seahawks right now, and it's kind

500
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: of like a you know, big shiny ball distracting me.

501
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't have as much angst over the Oregon situation

502
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: now as I have in years past. Wow, you guys

503
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: with me on.

504
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 3: That, because what you just said, Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent,

505
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: My ninety nine percent of my sports attention right now

506
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: is on the Seattle Seawks. Maybe it's one hundred and

507
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: the reality is that the college football Playoff, I honestly,

508
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: I really just don't care. Like I get it at

509
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 3: Indiana Oregon should be a very good football game, and

510
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: I ole miss Miami, I guess mildly interesting.

511
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: I just don't even care. Well, because here's the thing,

512
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: it's the Seahawks. I can sit here and tell you

513
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: that right now I don't have as much angst over

514
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: Oregon potentially winning as I normally have. And then they

515
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: could go out in three weeks, two weeks from now,

516
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: whenever it is, and win it, and I might want

517
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: to walk into traffic. I might feel totally different when

518
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: that day actually shows up. Like going into the Rose

519
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: Bowl last year against Ohio State. You guys, remember, I

520
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: was paranoid as hell that Oregon was going to win

521
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: the National Championship and when they fell behind the gazillion

522
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: to nothing at a half time, it was the greatest

523
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: day of my life.

524
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: I was like, this is unbelieva, you kidding me?

525
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I'm just I'm not I'm not

526
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: in knots over the idea of Oregon winning a title.

527
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 2: As much as I have been in years past, I

528
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: definitely do not, under any circumstances want to see it.

529
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 2: But I don't have as much angst about it today

530
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: as I did this time a year ago.

531
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: I think I think I've just figured out why. Why

532
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: Because last year we truly believe that they had a

533
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 3: national championship team.

534
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: They were number one.

535
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: Yes, this year, I don't, I do not think that

536
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: they will beat Indiana. Maybe I do not think they

537
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: would win the national championship if they did beat Indiana.

538
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: I think they are.

539
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: I think they are very good defense and a limited offense.

540
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: I've thought that all year long. I saw them in

541
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: person in front of my dogs. They were a limited

542
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: offense in front of my dogs, and they're going to

543
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 3: be a limited offense in front of Indiana this way.

544
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: Well, and look, I mean they're still as close as

545
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: they've been since they they played who Auburn in the

546
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: national championship game. This is the closest they've been to

547
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: a national title. Have they been in the title game

548
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: since that game?

549
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 5: When?

550
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: No?

551
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't They lost to cam Newton.

552
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: Oh Oregon's the Ohio State augustin the title game. Yeah,

553
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: for first year of the CFP, right, twenty fourteen? Is

554
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: that correct? Right?

555
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Didn't they face Ohio? Yes, they lost in twenty fourteen? Yeah, correct.

556
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 2: They lost the BCS championship to cam Newton in twenty ten.

557
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: They lost the CFP Championship to Oregon in twenty fourteen.

558
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: So here's the point. This is the closest they've been

559
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: since then in eleven years. And I, Dick, I agree

560
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: with you that there's been better Oregon teams than what

561
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: we're seeing now.

562
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 3: I think each of the last two teams were better

563
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 3: than this Oregon team.

564
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, this Oregon team isn't going up against the competition

565
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: that those Oregon teams went up against.

566
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: Indiana might be that guy.

567
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: I like Indiana a lot.

568
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: That might be.

569
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: I think Indiana's gonna beat him. I think Indiana the

570
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage will prove to be more physical they'll

571
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: prove to be deeper, and I think that will beat

572
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 2: them on Friday Night in Atlanta. But it would not

573
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 2: stun the hell out of me if the Indiana magic

574
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: carpet ride came to an end and Oregon won the

575
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: game on Friday and played for the national title.

576
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 3: My worry level going into last year's playoffs was an

577
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: eight and a half out of ten that this thing

578
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 3: is not gonna happen, That this thing is gonna happen

579
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: for Oregon.

580
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 1: That's not now.

581
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: Four. If they beat Indiana, it goes to about a

582
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 3: seven or a seven and a half. But I still

583
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: don't think they beat Miami in Miami. If Miami takes

584
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 3: care of Old Miss, and like you said, it's a

585
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: home game for Miami in the National Championship.

586
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: I just think nothing would surprise me right now in

587
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: college football, right with the way this whole thing is gone,

588
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: the way the bracket's gone him in Ohio States, I

589
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 2: thought Georgia was gonna win the whole thing. I never

590
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: thought they'd lose to Ole Miss in the second round. Never,

591
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 2: and they're done.

592
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: Man.

593
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's just crazy how the parody

594
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: in college football and the parody in the NFL. They're

595
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 2: both showing their heads at the same time in the

596
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: same season, so nothing would surprise me. But you know,

597
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: whatever the reason is, you've got your reason. You've got

598
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: your reason. I don't even know what my reason is.

599
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: I just know the way I feel right, and the

600
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: way I feel is that I just don't have as

601
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 2: much angst over this. I'm not I'm not sitting around

602
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: freaking out Like when the Thunder we're about to win

603
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: the NBA Championship.

604
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: That had me extremely bummed because we knew they were.

605
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 2: The betremely okay, So this Oregon thing, if they do it,

606
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: they freaking do it at some point in my lifetime.

607
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 2: To those bastards are gonna win a title at some point.

608
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen. All right, it'd be great if it didn't.

609
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: We can hold that over their head forever. But aren't

610
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: we convinced at some point us it's gonna happen. Much money,

611
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: They're going to win at some point. So if it

612
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: happens this year, it may as well happen in a year,

613
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: Jackson where the Seahawks can distract us with a Super Bowl.

614
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. If the Seahawks.

615
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: You know, we're you know, lined up for the number

616
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 3: ten pick in the draft, right and our.

617
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: Season was on.

618
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: Can you imagine we'd be focusing really not yet on

619
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 3: the draft, we'd be focusing on our ri like Mariners

620
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: in a couple of months. And do we really have

621
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 3: to look at what's going on right now in the

622
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 3: final four.

623
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: Because that would be the attention.

624
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: We haven't talked to any CFP really because of what

625
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: because of the sis? It's just like the Mariners, right,

626
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: you know, you don't talk a lot of football in

627
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: October because the Mariners are kicking ass and they're on

628
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: the doorstep of a stinking world.

629
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 3: Now, why you're not paying attention to Justson this particular

630
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: year is because the Seahawks.

631
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 4: Because because the nation's paying attention.

632
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 3: The ratings are off the hook games and not only that,

633
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: the ratings where I talk to Wilner about this at five,

634
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: the ratings for the Bowl games. Everybody says ball games

635
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 3: don't matter anymore, ball games should go away. The ratings

636
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: for the Bowl games were unbelievable.

637
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: Yes, the Rose Bull ratings between Alabama and Indiana, I

638
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 2: think I saw a stat where they outdrew like Game

639
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 2: seven of the NBA Finals, like fivefold, twenty two million,

640
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: ridiculous how many people.

641
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: Tuned in to watch that game? So, hey, people are watching.

642
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: But again, we're talking about us, right, We're talking about

643
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: us here in Seattle, and I think Jackson, you're probably

644
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: right that we are distracted by Thewks. If the Seahawks

645
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: were done, we'd be sitting here and we'd be talking

646
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: about Hey, listen, you're tuning into your home for Indiana football. Okay,

647
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: there you are, right, whatever, that's what we'd be doing.

648
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 2: We would have had the James Madison head coach on

649
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: the air. We would have talked about them and all that,

650
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: and so, thank god, thank god the Seahawks are giving

651
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: us this run, because you know what, it actually gets

652
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: kind of tiresome, does it not after a while every

653
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: single year, when your season's over and your NFL team

654
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: is done before the playoffs even get going, really in earnest,

655
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: the one thing that you turn to is sports hate

656
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: to keep you occupied. And right now we're not turning

657
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: to sports hate, and it kind.

658
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: Of feels good.

659
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,640

Speaker 2: remind me?

680
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: I got distracted by the segment we're doing here.

681
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: We haven't done it this hour, by the way, so

00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: stay tuned between now and the next like five minutes.

683
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: Montana State beat Illinois State last night in a wild

684
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: FCS National championship, and the final seconds in overtime the

685
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: game saw a block, game winning field goal, a fourth down,

686
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: game time touchdown by a player named Taco, and a

687
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: game winning extra point. Here was the call on ESPN

688
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: by our old buddy, Dave Fleming and former Seahawks. Did

689
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: brock Osweiler played for the Seahawks or was that Paxton

690
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: Lynch actly that played for the Seahawks former ASU Sun devil?

691
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: For sure, brock Osweiler his second career start at Illinois State.

692
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: Snap hold kick is booked, It's on the turf.

693
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: HiT's stoked up. He returned to the forty five of

694
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: Illinois State. Exeth Johnson comes up of the ball, four.

695
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: Down and over time they bring pressure lamps and throws

696
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 3: heads un touchdown.

697
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: Talk to dun.

698
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: Miles Sandsteed snap hold kick Dad for a national championship.

699
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: That's very cool. Fleming's great man. He's just a phenomenal broadcaster.

700
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: And it is unbelievable to me how there is such

701
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: an appetite for sports broadcasting right now. I mean, there

702
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: was nothing else on last night. Right I'm gonna got

703
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: great ratings. It's unbelievable. So good call by them to

704
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: put that game on Monday night. And I wonder if

705
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: now this is going to be kind of a staple

706
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: that Hey, between the NFL Playoffs and the College football

707
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: semi Finals, we all gather around the telly on a

708
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: Monday night and we watched the FCS National Championship game.

709
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: I think the FCS National Championship will at one point

710
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 3: involve people like Oregon State and Washington State and Iowa State.

711
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you know, Cougar fans are also Seahawk

712
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: fans are having a good time. They're enjoying themselves, and

713
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: you just came and just pissed right on their parade.

714
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god, unbelievable up and shows violence.

715
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 4: I mean, wouldn't you want to win a national championship?

716
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable.

717
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 3: I mean, if you were a fan of those teams

718
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 3: would win a national championship, Well, you're nuts. Three teams

719
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: and about forty others now have zero z ro o

720
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: chance to win a national champ unless they join that.

721
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think they have a better shot. You

722
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: know what.

723
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: That's a good conversation for John Wilner at five because

724
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 2: James Madison just made the College Football Playoff because they

725
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: have to.

726
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: They got hammered.

727
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 2: I understand that, right, But who's got a better shot

728
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: of winning a national championship Washington in the Big ten

729
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: long term or the Cougars in the Pac twelve long term?

730
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 3: Are you.

731
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: That's an interesting question.

732
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think John is going to surprise you with

733
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 2: his answer. By I think John's going to definitely surprise

734
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 2: you with his answer on who's got a better chance

735
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: of participating in the college football playoffs.

736
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: He's going to say the Pac twelve.

737
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 4: You just said, Wazoo, Yeah, both of them.

738
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: Both of them? He might say, both, Dick. I'm not

739
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: saying I agree with that.

740
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that, with the way this thing is

741
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: set up, are the Cougars more likely to finish near

742
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 2: the top of the Pac twelve and get themselves into

743
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: the playoff or are the Huskies more apt to finish

744
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: into the top three to four of the Big ten

745
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: and get themselves in the playoffs?

746
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: Right?

747
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: There is the interesting question.

748
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: Because it's very easy for a you know, a bad

749
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: Cougar team to win a bad conference.

750
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: Huskies are always going to have a hard.

751
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Time getting into the playoff. Well, the Huskies.

752
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 4: Do we agree that it's going to sixteen teams very soon?

753
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: Yes?

754
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, the Huskies have been in the top sixteen

755
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: of the poll going into the playoffs five times in

756
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 3: the last ten years. We know that's not how it

757
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: exactly will play out, because if James Madison's they'll give

758
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: spots to teams win lower sixteen, it won't be.

759
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: That just that it should be, but it won't be.

760
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: It'll be twelve or thirteen of the top sixteen and

761
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: then three other teams from somewhere else exactly.

762
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 3: Well, Okay, then conservatively it's three times out of ten years,

763
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: and so the Cougars would have to win. You're telling

764
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: me that the Cougars are going to win more than

765
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 3: thirty percent of all the Pac twelve championship.

766
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: I have no idea this with with these other teams

767
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: coming in, I don't have any clue what this thing

768
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: is going to look like. Is it possible they could

769
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: dominate that conference?

770
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

771
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: Because if possible, they have a hard time. Yeah. Again,

772
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm not I'm willing to repeat after

773
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: me and say three words.

774
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm willing to dance with you on the on the

775
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: berths into the tournament.

776
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: I'm not willing to dance on.

777
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: Any not just Washington State, any of the non power

778
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 3: for schools winning a national championship more so than a

779
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 3: Power two school.

780
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair, but I still think again, if they're

781
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 2: having a better chance of getting in, they're giving themselves

782
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 2: more opportunities. And with the with the nil thing and

783
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: the portal. Look, I don't think Wazu was ever gonna

784
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: have any money to spend like Indiana is spending, for

785
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: God's sakes. But I think there's a big curiosity for

786
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: me on how they do in that conference for sure.

787
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to.

788
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 2: Hear that Marcus Spears was on NFL Live on ESPN

789
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: yesterday and did not give the Carolina Panthers any chance

790
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: of beating the Rams in the first run of the

791
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 2: playoffs this weekend.

792
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 6: The Panther's like a piece of candy somebody throw out

793
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 6: the school yard and somebody find it on the concrete,

794
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 6: Like I got some candy.

795
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: Okay, they're not supposed to be out there, like.

796
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 4: It's just it's just I'm still is the candy unwrapped

797
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 4: in this?

798
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: Oh?

799
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: What happened there? I think my computer stross now that

800
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: happened yesterday?

801
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 3: Did this yesterday?

802
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 2: I got the funny part though out that was good

803
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 2: So the point is is that the Panthers really don't.

804
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,479
Speaker 2: You want to touch him, you'll get you'll get something

805
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: you'll pick up, you know, some kind of virus or whatever.

806
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers are the James Madison of the NFL.

807
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty bad, man. I mean when they played

808
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, I was like, yeah, I'm not impressed. They

809
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: look they looked like a team, did they not that

810
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 2: were only in the playoffs because somebody from that division

811
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: had to be a playoffs exactly right. And I would

812
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: be pretty surprised if the Rams lost to them. I

813
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: would not be surprised if it was a closer game

814
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: than what people are making it out to be. I

815
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 2: think the Rams are ten point favorites in this game.

816
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: I just think anytime you take a team like that

817
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 2: and you put them on grass right away from their

818
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: place in Carolina outdoors versus indoors. I have no idea

819
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 2: what the weather is going to be like this weekend

820
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 2: down there. If it's raining like crazy, but I think

821
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: the Rams will win. Yes, I would not. I would be,

822
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: just like you, very surprised if the Panthers won that.

823
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: My knee jerk reaction is always to take the big

824
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: dog in a playoff game, particularly at home. But then

825
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: I just look at those two teams and I'm like, Okay,

826
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: how in the world are the Panthers going to be

827
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 3: within ten points at the end of the game against

828
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 3: the Rams.

829
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: Well, they could be down sixteen to seventeen points and

830
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 2: get a garbage touchdown. By the way, the Panthers play

831
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 2: on turf, So I just want to correct myself.

832
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that?

833
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: What's that?

834
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: Dick?

835
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 2: From the NFL Network yesterday, Former Seahawk fullback Michael Robinson

836
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: discussed how dangerous the Seahawks team is to win the

837
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: NFC and the Super Bowl.

838
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 6: They're extremely dangerous. And I won't say this too especially

839
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 6: about the Seahawks defense. We need to stop comparing them

840
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 6: to the Legion of Boom. This is their this is

841
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 6: their time. This is the current Seahawks teams. This the

842
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 6: current Seahawks defense's time. They aren't the Legion of Boom.

843
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 6: They're their own animal. Yeah, Okay, they gotta stop. You know,

844
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 6: they're not living in our shadow anymore. They're their own animal.

845
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 6: And I think when you have a championship defense like this,

846
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 6: when you can run the football, you can gain the

847
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 6: blade of grass whenever you want it, and you have

848
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 6: a coach who's like.

849
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: A boy genius.

850
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 6: When you talk about, you know, scheming things to attack

851
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 6: opposing offenses, they're gonna be very difficult to deal with.

852
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I had a conversation with somebody who

853
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 2: said this is better than the LOB. I was like, guys,

854
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: come on, they led the NFL in scoring defense four

855
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 2: years in a row, which had never been done until then,

856
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 2: and now you're expecting it to happen again ten years later.

857
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: Someone's going to lead the NFL in scoring defense for

858
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: four years in a row. And I don't think the

859
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: NFL looks the difference with this defense versus that LOB.

860
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: We really probably should have this conversation when the season's over.

861
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, that LOB defense played the

862
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 2: greatest scoring offense in the history of the NFL and

863
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: crapped all over them in the Super Bowl. That is

864
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: what makes that defense different than the Chicago Bears and

865
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens.

866
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 3: But if this team wins three more games and the

867
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 3: defense is the reason for it, right, that talk will

868
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 3: be the number one NFL talking to for the next

869
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 3: six months.

870
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: But who who in the AFC offensively is comparable to

871
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: the twenty thirteen Denver Broncos. Nobodyody, right, and they, I

872
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: mean they probably should have shut them out, to be

873
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: honest with you, in that game.

874
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: And that's never been done in the history of the NFL.

875
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 2: So you you show me a defense that leads the

876
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: NFL in scoring, and then you show me that same

877
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: defense that shut down the highest scoring offense in the

878
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 2: history of pro football, and then we can start having

879
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 2: that conversation.

880
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna break.

881
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 2: Ray Roberts joins next on ninety three to three KJARFM.
