Just took Justin 35 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: Andrews at the queen An Beer Hall beings and agreeing 36 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: to that deal. That's what happened. Well, it's been a while, 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: man since we've had you on the show. We're fired 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 3: up to have you back on the air. World that 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: we'll pick us up on kind of a weekly basis 40 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 3: as we get closer to opening day, which is only 41 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: heck three weeks from today, for God's sakes, but how 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: about you just give us kind of your general thoughts 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: on where this team was when they lost to Toronto 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: roster wise and where they are now. We were debating 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: on the air, are they better on paper worse on paper? 46 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: The same? What's your take on the job Jerry Justin 47 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 3: company did and hopefully trying to make this baseball team 48 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 3: better over the offseason. 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 4: Well, I think that this team was every bit a 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: good enough team to win the World Series last year, 51 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 4: and it's unfortunate that Brian wu couldn't post. Had he posted, 52 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 4: I believe they'd have gone to the World Series, and 53 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 4: the way the Dodgers played against the Blue Jays, I 54 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: think the Mariners would have given him a better fight. 55 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: I mean, those are all suppositions and we can have 56 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 4: some butts, but a very good team that I think 57 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: he basically brought back Josh Needler. It signed the long 58 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 4: term deal. Your pitchings all intact. They go out and 59 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: get a left hander from Washington and get a compliment 60 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 4: for Gave Spire. They go and get a all fields, hitting, 61 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: high on base guy, and Brendan Donovan is a great 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 4: pick up in the trade. So I think they've done 63 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: a lot of good things. I mean, he's still with 64 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: the departure of Polonco, they don't have somebody that's replaced him, right, Uh, 65 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: So they are lacking in the DH spot and ref 66 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 4: Snyder and can Zone take that spot over and deliver 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 4: remains to be seen, and there's questions that we can 68 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 4: we can we can sit their way through. But when 69 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: you look at their starting rotation, when you look at 70 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: the back end of their bullpen, when you look at 71 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 4: the star power on this team, you have to say 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 4: they are well positioned to now with the confidence and 73 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 4: maybe a little bit of a burn the saddle that says, hey, 74 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 4: we were so close, We're not going to let this 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: slip through our fingers again this year. And their pitching 76 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: got tested, had injuries last year, so there's every bit 77 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: of a reason to think they'll be they'll be healthier 78 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: this year, at least in the starting rotation, so I 79 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: think there and then the als doesn't look nearly as 80 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: it continues to water itself down, so the marriage the 81 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: cream of the crop there. So I think they're a 82 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 4: great spot. Bill. 83 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 5: How comfortable are you with Cole Young and second, you. 84 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: Know, honestly, I think he's a good player. And if 85 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: he's allowed to just play the game and work his 86 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: way through the ups and downs, would be he was 87 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: a twenty one year old player last year? Or is 88 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: he twenty one this year? Was he twenty last year? 89 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 4: He's really young, and I think I like the player, 90 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 4: So I just think he needs a chance to play 91 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: through the ups and downs, not have a high expectation, 92 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: play solid defense. And you know what we saw of 93 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: him when he did start to swing the bat better. 94 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 4: Everybody points at the four and forty foot home on 95 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: off to hit it here at cafe, But what I 96 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 4: saw was a guy that really wanted to pull the ball. 97 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 4: What he got up here and struggled. But then when 98 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 4: he started to stay up the middle of the field, 99 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 4: he started to show that he can He can be 100 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 4: a pretty good player. Yeah, I just got some power, 101 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 4: But I don't think the power is the answer. That 102 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 4: the answer is to have good at bats and put 103 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 4: more balls in play and play solid defense. And I 104 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: think he can do all those things. I mean, I 105 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 4: think he's a nice player. And you know, you need 106 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: the core of your lineup to deliver. The Guys like 107 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: Cole Young just need to play above league average and 108 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 4: play solid defense, and I think. 109 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 3: He can do that. Well. Bill Krueger's with us on 110 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: the air, and Bill, you mentioned JP or excuse me, 111 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 3: Hori Polonko, And I'm with you that they haven't replaced 112 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: you know, the eight twenty one ops. And I mean, 113 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I just think that 114 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: they certainly will not get sixty home runs again from 115 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 3: cal Raley. I mean, it took, you know, a million 116 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: years for a catcher to hit sixty. I think expecting 117 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: it in two consecutive years is crazy. But I mean 118 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: there's a little bit of a gap there, right, like 119 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: does this get replaced by a group effort? I mean, 120 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: can can Brendan Donovan be that guy? Can ref Schneider 121 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: be that guy? How concerned are you, honestly that they 122 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: just have not replaced those numbers from Polanco and that 123 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: cal Rawley's numbers most certainly will maybe come down a 124 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 3: little bit. 125 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: Well, I don't think you can expect Calvally to his 126 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 4: sixty home runs, but you know, cal could be a 127 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 4: more productive hitter, hitting maybe forty home months. Maybe he 128 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: puts a little more contact in his games, he drives, 129 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 4: drives in an equal or more runs. He's just a 130 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 4: little bit more productive. I mean, I don't know how 131 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: much better you could ask the player to be. I mean, 132 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 4: I think I'm not really worried about sixty home runs 133 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 4: with cal Rawley. No. I mean, I think it would 134 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: be great to see a Rose Arena have a more 135 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 4: consistent season since they bought him back. Maybe getting out 136 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: of the off spot and being down in the order 137 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 4: will allow him to be the more instinctive hitter that 138 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: he is. Can you know the advantage now of having 139 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: Josh Nair for a full season. That's a real infusion 140 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 4: because they only had him for two months. Brendon Donovan 141 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: brings a really nice track record and a guy that 142 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 4: can hit lead off because they really don't have one, 143 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 4: and I already think Crawford can do it. That's another story, 144 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: But I think Donovan's a nice left can hitter, sprays 145 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 4: the ball around to hit her, lots of doubles, puts 146 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: the ball in play, gets on base. Yeah, that's a 147 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 4: great pickup for a team that has a little bit 148 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: of a swinging this in it. So you're really just 149 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: looking at this point at whether or not you can 150 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 4: get you know, some kind of can Luke really give 151 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 4: them something in the d H spot and you know, 152 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 4: I don't know where it's going to fall. Is Luke 153 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 4: really going to split time with Robays in the outfield? 154 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 4: And can Zone is going to play? Is the D 155 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 4: eight is a young player? Resnier is going to hit 156 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 4: against leftenant pitching because he's got big numbers. Yeah, I mean, 157 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: I think the concerns are things like you would love 158 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 4: to see who the overdrigis kind of game, uh, and 159 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: and really sort of propel himself forward from what adjustments 160 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: he made the second half of the season and his 161 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 4: dad a little bit he got on time at the 162 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 4: fastball he chased as much? Can can we not go 163 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 4: backwards and have to, you know, grind your way up 164 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 4: to the middle of the season to see him perform again. 165 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's what everybody wants to see. 166 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 4: The overall numbers are good, but you want to see 167 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 4: it be more consistent. Right, And maybe now he realizes 168 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 4: that the light is shining much brighter around cal Riley 169 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: and not quite as much on him, And I'm sure 170 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: he'd loved to have the light shine on him equally, right, 171 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: So let's see if he can he can start a 172 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 4: little quicker and learn things that he may be picked 173 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 4: up last year and apply them an earlier part of 174 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: the season. But I think that the concerns are things like, 175 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: you know, is Crawford going to be healthy enough to 176 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 4: play short? I mean that's a concern, right. Is Miller's 177 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: little injury a little thing or or more of a 178 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: thing than that. I mean those are the things that 179 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 4: you kind of worry about a little bit. But yeah, 180 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: production in the d H spot, you know how the 181 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 4: and a outfield will play prefident brightfield. Yeah, I mean, 182 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: every team's got things to worry about. But I don't 183 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: know there'd be a team out there that wouldn't say, 184 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 4: could you would you take uh, Raleigh and Rodriguez up 185 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 4: the middle of the field, with those five starting pitchers 186 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 4: and brash munos and lefties at the end and build 187 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 4: from there? Nobody? Nobody would. Everybody would take that and 188 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 4: build from there. So the Marriags are sitting in the 189 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 4: catbird seat and they have a confident team. Now they've 190 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: added another guy that really I think is a grinder 191 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 4: type player that models the way that you want to 192 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 4: play the game. With Donovan now and Nayler in there, uh, 193 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 4: these guys really set I think a tone for the 194 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 4: way the team would like to play, and maybe more 195 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 4: modeling around that style play will make this team more productive, 196 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 4: more consistently offensively. 197 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 6: Noil Krueger joining us. Bill, you mentioned they're confident now, 198 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 6: and they also got to be a little you know, 199 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 6: po do that. They lost in the seventh inning of 200 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 6: the American League Championship, So that kind of a good 201 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 6: combination to have where you're you're edgy because of the 202 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 6: late loss in that series, but you're also confident because 203 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 6: you know you can win the division now in advance 204 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 6: in playoff series. 205 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 4: I think it's all those things. I think you're confident 206 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 4: because now you know that you're good enough to be there. 207 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: You've got, you know, the depth of starting pitching in 208 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,119 Speaker 4: the bullpen that's going to complain a lot of games. Yeah, 209 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 4: I think it's it's it's frustrating that Brian mood couldn't 210 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 4: post and start in the playoffs that would have made 211 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 4: all the difference. Yeah, I think it's all those things, 212 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: and I know they believe they can do it now, 213 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: and I don't think they're going to be the type 214 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: of team that's going to sort of say, ah, yeah, 215 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: you know, it doesn't matter how we start. You know, 216 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 4: we're good. We're going to get there. We're going to 217 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: get there. I think this team is going to come 218 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 4: out with a real mission to be the elite team 219 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 4: in the American League. I think that's what you're going 220 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 4: to see. And as long as their pitching stays healthy, 221 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 4: they will because they can rely just pitching. They just pitch, 222 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 4: you know, a couple of long balls and you win 223 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: with pitching. I mean, this isn't a team that has 224 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: to slug like the old big Red Machine and Art win. 225 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: This team can win two to one, and if they hit, 226 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 4: then it's Yachtzi right. 227 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: Right, Well, you mentioned his name already and I'll mention 228 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: him again. Talking about forty four Julio Rodriguez, I'm gonna 229 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: give you four numbers here, all right. You probably know 230 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 3: what these numbers are, guys, six eighty one, six oh six, seven, 231 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: forty three, five, forty four, you know what those are? 232 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: First half, first month, Ops's for Julio Rodriguez. Everybody is watching. 233 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 3: This is year five. We're all watching to see if 234 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 3: Julio Rodriguez can finally get off to a good start, 235 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: a hot start, and keep it rolling. I mean, nobody 236 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: expects him to be dynamite every night. There's gonna be 237 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: ups and downs, we get it. But this is a 238 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: guy Bill that's put up some pretty significant numbers and 239 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: he's almost taken the first month of the year off 240 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: every single year. How does he fix that? 241 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 4: You know, players, players have you know, everybody. You hope 242 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 4: this isn't a pattern, although it looks like one, right. 243 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: You just want to see some of the things he 244 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 4: did last year stay in place. I mean, you don't 245 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 4: necessarily can't force you to get off the hot start. 246 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 4: You just baseball. You have to let it come to 247 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 4: you and be the good player. But what I want 248 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 4: to see is, you know, being on time in the 249 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 4: fastball and flatten the bat a little bit, which is 250 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 4: what he did. I saw it wasn't quite as as 251 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 4: vertical with the bat. He didn't have as much forward press. 252 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 4: He didn't get as long, because when he gets long, 253 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 4: that's when you have to cheat, and that's when you 254 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 4: get you start to chase the breaking ball, and you 255 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 4: chase the fastball up and all the things that kind 256 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 4: of he runs a ground on. But this is a 257 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 4: guy that brings a pretty unique still set to the table. 258 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 4: He's an elite center fielder. He can really run. He 259 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 4: ruthers through slumps because three hoppers shorts and knock for 260 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 4: him because he can really run, right, and that saves him. 261 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: But we just like to see him be a little 262 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 4: have a little more of a solid approach at the 263 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 4: plate and if he's become that hitter where he can 264 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 4: just you know, be a little short of the ball 265 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 4: and now make the pictures come to him rather than 266 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 4: the other way around. And if I think he starts 267 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: that approach, he's a problem, right, He's a real problem. 268 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 4: I sit there and look at him, and when his 269 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 4: bat was flattered and he was getting to the fastball, 270 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 4: and he's a good breaking ball hitter and he's not 271 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: chasing as much. Wow, what are you going to do 272 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 4: with him? Right? So yeah, you just we all just 273 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 4: have to hope and believe that he's going to do it. 274 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 4: I mean, he's got he's got a great compliment around him, 275 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 4: he's got great hitters around him. There isn't as much 276 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 4: attention being paid to him, so maybe that will lighten 277 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: the load and he can really get it out there 278 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 4: and let it rip. He's got Edgar Martinez and he 279 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 4: couldn't really have a better opportunity to have someone who 280 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: speaks so clearly, speaks his language, speaks from such a 281 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 4: respected spot and talks to you about the actual that 282 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 4: as opposed to how fast that is or let's look 283 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: at the video and all this other bs that I 284 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 4: think doesn't really matter, but all our kids are caught 285 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 4: up in it. Yeah, I think that in Kevin sicher Sizer, 286 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: he speaks the same language, and he's a guy with 287 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 4: a tremendous hitting measurement so that he's got all the 288 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 4: right pieces around him to be successful. And he's a 289 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: guy with tremendous enthusiasm. He likes to win, he's he's 290 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 4: a great teammate, he comes to play a place hard. 291 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 4: So there's a lot of redeeming things to like about him. 292 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 4: We just want to see him have a smoother and 293 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 4: better start. 294 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 3: Bill. 295 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: This team has won one hundred games at home over 296 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 6: the last two years. The problem, though, is they start 297 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 6: slow thirteen and eleven in the first twenty four games 298 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 6: last year at home, fourteen and ten the first twenty 299 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 6: four games in twenty twenty four at home. Despite the 300 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 6: fact that they're fifty one and thirty overall and forty 301 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 6: nine and thirty two the year before that. So how 302 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 6: do we we talked about closing the roof, you know, 303 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 6: keeping the roof closed in April and early May. I mean, 304 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 6: how does this team stop from treading water in the 305 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 6: first month and a half of the season at home. 306 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 4: I just I just think they have a clear identity 307 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 4: of who they are and they got they got a 308 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 4: better lineup they do. You had donovated the lineup, you 309 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 4: had nailor the lineup. You had an uber star like 310 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: Rowley now and what Regus brings to the table a Rosa. 311 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 4: You can look two years back and that's not what 312 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: they had here. They had a lot of loose parts 313 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 4: that couldn't play. This is just a better team and 314 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 4: they can win with pitching. And you know, I always 315 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 4: thought that, you know, it would be nice to see 316 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 4: baseball and the Mariners. I just have starters that are 317 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 4: ready to go. I mean this whole like, well, these 318 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 4: is gonna throw you need two pitches today? It's like, 319 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 4: come on, I remember being able to be ready to 320 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: go six innings easy, but that was in a strike 321 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: certain season. But I don't understand why would all are 322 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 4: the starters own nu First of all, they call her 323 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: a period, and then you're collaring your strength.

We will have lots. 398 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 6: Of information, not only on the rest of the NFL, 399 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 6: but I think I think we'll know something about the Seahawks. 400 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, some see. 401 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 6: Even though John Schneider is usually not a guy that 402 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 6: jumps all over free agents in the for remember we 403 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 6: always talk about the first wave in the second wave, 404 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 6: and John loves the b and the Sea Way. 405 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: He's agent. He's in a movie. They paid attention. He's 406 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 3: at the zoom. That's right. 407 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 6: Let all these big price free agents go and then 408 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 6: I'll come and pick the good ones. 409 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 4: Right. 410 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: Well, I just think this, guys, I think you got 411 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 3: to really just understand and remember not that you don't 412 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: remember this, how significantly this team got better at this 413 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 3: time of the year last year when they brought into 414 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 3: Marcus Lawrence and they went out and got Donald, they 415 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 3: went out and got Josh Jones, who Josh Jones was 416 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 3: kind of an underrated acquisition, was he not? When Charles 417 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 3: Cross got hurt and Josh Jones came in. I mean, 418 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: you know, he was talked about him being maybe one 419 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: of the better backup left tackles in the NFL. So 420 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 3: I don't think they have nearly the holes they had 421 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 3: a year ago. Last year, they had a lot of 422 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: holes on this football They had a whole left guard. 423 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 3: They had a hole at right guard. They had hole 424 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 3: at quarterback, they had a hole at center, they had 425 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 3: a hole at wide receiver. They had a lot of 426 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 3: holes of this football team. And now they're going to 427 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 3: be filling holes that they'll create because they'll let guys 428 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: walk that they can't afford. 429 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 6: He filled every single hole except right guard. Yes, that's amazing, 430 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 6: because you're right. He had five or six or seven 431 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 6: holes starting lineup holes on this football team going into 432 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 6: free agency, and he filled every one except right guard. 433 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 3: And they were all winners too. That's the thing. I mean, God, guys, 434 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 3: I mean, how do we do we really expect John 435 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 3: Schneider to have that kind of offseason again? Like, noame, 436 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 3: name me a terrible signing that the Hawks made a 437 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 3: year ago. Name one. It wasn't MBS because they didn't 438 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: pay MVS any money and they locked them. Yeah, there's nothing. 439 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 6: Oh, there's always minor signings that don't end up doing anything. 440 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 3: There was no big mistake. 441 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 5: No, And I remember we debated on to Marcus Lawrence. 442 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 5: You did, I mean you were kind of mad de 443 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 5: Marcus Lawrence. 444 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 3: I was not high on de Marcus Lawrence. I thought 445 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 3: he would be just another washed up turd. Honestly, did 446 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 3: I have no problem meeting that? He said? Fine, I 447 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: mean there's been a lot of guys. You know, he 448 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 3: was incredible and his snap count was was high. It 449 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: wasn't like he was a bit player. I mean, is 450 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 3: he playing? Do we know that for sure? Is he 451 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: going to retire? Last week? 452 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 5: And Greg feels very comfortable that. 453 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 6: He's not retiring right and and so that's right now, 454 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 6: and we haven't heard any smoke since then, So I 455 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 6: would I would think that he's coming. Man man, he's 456 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 6: got a lot of money on that contract, right, let's play. 457 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 3: Why would he retire? He kicked ass last year, he 458 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: played well. I mean, the only thing that he could 459 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 3: say is that on top, I'm healthy. I can walk 460 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 3: away with my health. I went out winning a championship. 461 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 3: I'm done. But I think you're right man.

Today 500 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: in DJ Moore, has there ever been two better quarterbacks 501 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 3: to play in the same air that had less talent 502 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 3: combined at wide receiver than josh Allen Mahomes have had. 503 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: In those two teams, Brady never had anybody except for 504 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: like that man, well, yeah, he had Rob Vinkowski and 505 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 3: I know the Kelsey right, buttle men obviously Dion Branch, 506 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: who was the other white at Wes welber Dola. I mean, 507 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 3: it's like all they had was white guys around, right 508 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: and then and then Dan Branch. But I mean, like, 509 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 3: if I'm a billsman, I'm like, thank God, Like, where 510 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 3: the hell was this right? Getting a guy like Dj Moore? 511 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 7: And they did have Stefan Diggs. I think Stefan Diggs 512 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 7: was a better receiver than any of the ones. 513 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 3: Break when did they get Stefan Diggs? Though? 514 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 4: What? 515 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 3: At what twenty point of his career was Stefan Diggs 516 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: sent to the Kansas City Chiefs. You remember how good 517 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: he was the bill Sorry, yes, yes, he is thirty two. 518 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 6: Now he was like late twenties because he was there 519 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 6: from twenty twenty to twenty twenty three and he's thirty two. 520 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 3: Now, let me look at his numbers real quick. When 521 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: he was in Buffalo, Stefon Diggs in Buffalo. Yeah, fifteen 522 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 3: hundred and twelve hundred and fourteen. Yeah, pretty good. But 523 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 3: for the most part, do we agree that those guys 524 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 3: have not had a lot of great talent to throw to? 525 00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 5: Well, I don't even know if he. 526 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 6: I mean, DJ Moore's an upgrade over what they had, 527 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 6: but DJ Moore hasn't been DJ Moore in like three years, right, So, like, 528 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 6: which DJ Moore you getting? You get in the one 529 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 6: that they gave all sorts of money too, that had 530 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 6: a thirteen hundred yard season in twenty twenty three, or 531 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 6: you getting the guy that was nine sixty six and 532 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 6: six eighty two the last two years. 533 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 3: Well, here's the reason why I'm bringing that up, guys, 534 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 3: because I just think, I mean, you wake up and 535 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 3: I know the Bills have fired their head coach, much 536 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 3: to Dick Fane's chagrin. Josh Allen's going to be thirty 537 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 3: years old, by the way, in two months. I mean 538 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 3: he's and he's never been to a Super Bowl, right, 539 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: Like the clock is starting to tick on him a 540 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: little bit. I think now more than ever in twenty 541 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 3: twenty six, you can play well into your mid thirties 542 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 3: and late thirties and be very good. So he's got 543 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 3: plenty of time. But my god, dude, they need to 544 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 3: start giving that guy some talent, and he's got to 545 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 3: be pissed off. When you look at what's happening in Seattle, 546 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 3: you look at what's happening in places like San Francisco 547 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 3: where they played in the Super Bowl, it's really incredible 548 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: to me that they've not been able to take advantage 549 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 3: of those talents out there. 550 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 7: Man, like that, do you know how much Josh Allen 551 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 7: is paid, because that deal I think is like fifty 552 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 7: to sixty somewhere in that threety five. Okay, So we 553 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 7: look at the NFL salary kept going up and however 554 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 7: much the Bills have, Like I get it. You add 555 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 7: DJ Moore and he's on a decent deal, But like, 556 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 7: come on, everybody, like anybody who has a quarterback paid 557 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 7: over fifty million dollars should realize that you just need 558 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 7: to build your defense right, and you have the quarterback 559 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 7: and you just got to trust that he's gonna brady 560 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 7: it up and make everybody else around him better. 561 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 3: They also have James Cook, but like. 562 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 7: Bills and Chiefs, build your defense and hope for the 563 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 7: best on offense. That's the only recipe for y'all to win. 564 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 6: His Here's what should really piss off Bills fans. They 565 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 6: had the number one defense in the NFL in twenty 566 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 6: twenty one and they didn't even make the Super Bowl. 567 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 2: Wow. 568 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 6: And in twenty twenty two, they had the number for 569 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 6: defense in the NFL scoring defense Holmes for that number one, 570 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 6: number four, and they weren't able to get to the 571 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 6: Super Bowl. 572 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think I mean again, and then just 573 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 3: tying this back to the Seahawks, right, which is why 574 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 3: we're bringing this up. The defense, to me, I still 575 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: think has got to be the thing that leads the 576 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 3: way for this football team. Just keep feeding the beast. 577 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: And what I think is gonna happen in free agency. 578 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: They're gonna go out. They're gonna get a position that 579 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 3: nobody thinks they need, right Like, they'll go out and 580 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: get you know, a linebacker. You got Drake Thomas, you 581 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: got Ernest Jones, what are you doing well? They want 582 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 3: to just keep feeding this thing. They want to be 583 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: ready when somebody gets hurt. They want to be ready 584 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 3: when somebody's career comes to an end, when somebody gets old, 585 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: they'll replace Riek Wall in a corner. They'll go get 586 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 3: a safety to be ready when Julian Love isn't performing 587 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 3: or you know, goes down knocking over with an injury. 588 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 3: They'll just continue to give them as many bullets as 589 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: they can possibly find dick to fire on defense. I 590 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 3: think it's smart. I think it's exactly what you should do. 591 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: As long as Mike McDonald's the head coach of this 592 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: football team, they should be giving him as many bullets 593 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 3: to fire on defense as they guess. 594 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 6: And the pieces that he wants because he'll see things 595 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 6: in guys, whether they be free agents or draft picks, 596 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 6: and they'll be like, I can use this guy this week, 597 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 6: way right, and they'll bring him in and that guy 598 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 6: will get better just like think. I mean, look at 599 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 6: the corners that Pete Carroll had. He would get corners 600 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 6: and make them better. That was his specialty, and Mike 601 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 6: McDonald seemed like he does that at every position on 602 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 6: the defense. 603 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm I'm fired up for this football team 604 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: and I don't think that it's going to be a 605 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 3: situation either the way I feel. And maybe I'm wrong 606 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 3: on this, and I'm sure I am, and I'm sure 607 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 3: you will tell me I'm wrong tomorrow when he comes 608 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 3: on the air five after he breaks down the air 609 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 3: temperature of Team Mobile part when the roof is closed, 610 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 3: Kirby and Namorrow talking about that that. I just feel 611 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 3: like Mike McDonald's defense, like Pete Carroll's defense, was a 612 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: scheme based thing that most defensive coordinators could look at 613 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 3: and physically see. This is what they're doing with Earl Thomas. 614 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 3: This is what they're doing with Cam Chancellor. Right, they're 615 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: bringing him down to the box to play in that 616 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: single high safety. He's so fast he can cover the 617 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: entire back end by himself. Okay, this is more of 618 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: a communication thing, right, This is more of a let's 619 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: make sure everybody's at the right spot at the right time. 620 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: Like how often do you see players wide open running 621 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 3: through the Seahawks defense. How often do you see a 622 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 3: player catch a ball and there's nobody there within five 623 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 3: or six yards to make a tackle. They've got guys 624 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: swarming to the ball. Every multiple players seem to be 625 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 3: in the exact same spot the football's at. I don't 626 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: know if that's the scheme thing, guys, as much as 627 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 3: it is a communications system that these guys have been 628 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: able to master. 629 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 6: I just remember, I remember a play I think it 630 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 6: was the Niners game where there was like a throwback 631 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 6: screen and Nicky Man Worry blew it up. And standing 632 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 6: right next to Nicky Man Worry was Ernest Jones. So 633 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 6: if Nicky Man worried completely whift on the tackle, Ernest 634 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 6: Jones would have blown. 635 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 3: Are you talking about? Wasn't it the Commanders game? 636 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 7: No? 637 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 3: No, was it the Niners game? Was the first game 638 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 3: of the year right when this was. 639 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 5: Later in the season got it was just incredible. 640 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 6: I was like, my god, like two guys there to 641 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 6: make the play. 642 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 3: Well, it's like remember the Husky offense with Ryan Grubb 643 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: at Udub when they had guys running wide open. Remember 644 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 3: the Seahawk offense with Ryan Grubb in the first couple 645 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 3: of weeks when he was here and they had guys 646 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 3: running wide open. Remember how fired up people were for 647 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 3: the first like eight quarters of the Ryan Grub era. 648 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 3: And then it all fell apart, obviously led by Dick 649 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: Fane and his. 650 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 5: Pitchforks all part in the Lions game. 651 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 3: Just think Lions game. It did not fall apart in 652 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: the Lions game. It wasn't like a high scoring shootout. 653 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 3: They had like four hundred and fifty yards offense. 654 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 6: Didn't give Kim Walker the ball, so therefore the opposition 655 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 6: got way more possess They got way more possessions. Okay, 656 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 6: that's why it was a high scoring game because it 657 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 6: became a fast paced, high possession game. 658 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: Guess who wels didn't give Ken Walker the ball until 659 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: like week twelve. Like, I wasn't happy with that, Clint Coopy. Okay, 660 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 3: I'm just saying this that those offenses that they ran 661 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: led defenses to be in spots where they shouldn't have been. 662 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: And I don't know what it is about Mike McDonald's defense, 663 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 3: where they just seem to be in the right place 664 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 3: at the right time. No matter who they are, whether 665 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 3: it's Tyle Coatta or Drake Thomas or Devin Witherspoon or 666 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 3: Julian Love, whether you're a highly drafted guy or an 667 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: undrafted guy, all Pro caliber guy or a walk on, 668 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. They're in the right spot. And it's 669 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 3: amazing to watch. 670 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 6: I mean, our teams that we love have had the 671 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 6: best defensive coordinator and the best offensive coordinator the last 672 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 6: two years. 673 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 5: Because Ryan are to three years. 674 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 6: Because Ryan Grubb, in my opinion, was the best offensive 675 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 6: coordinator in college football in twenty twenty three, and Mike 676 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 6: McDonald was clearly the best defensive coordinator in the NFL 677 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 6: last season. 678 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 5: That's that's saying something. Man, We've been pretty fortunate. 679 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 3: Seahawks had five hundred and sixteen yards in that line game. 680 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 3: By the way, was talking about. 681 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 5: Well he also admitted that Ken Walker needed to touch 682 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 5: the ball. 683 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 6: In that game. 684 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 5: Did we win the game or lose? 685 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 3: They lost twenty nine? Defense? Your defense gave up four 686 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 3: forty two points, dick to the Lions. Will you scored 687 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 3: thirty points and you put up five hundred yards? What morning? 688 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 4: What? 689 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 6: We had that debate the day after and I have 690 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 6: that's a die on the hill? 691 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 3: Take five for ten on third down. They ran seventy 692 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 3: eight plays and Kenny Walker and the Lion game, let's see, 693 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: he had twelve carries and he had four catches sixteen times. 694 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 3: That's not terrible. It's not terrible. It's not terrible. 695 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 5: And I believe he did it all in the first hand. 696 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 3: Sixteen touches, DK metcalf seven for a bucko four. You 697 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: want to be pissed at somebody. For the Lion game, 698 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 3: he pissed at the defense. Okay, we're gonna break
