I think I'm doing okay. 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: If I was a ten in the misery scale on 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: Tuesday I'm probably a seven for now. And then Dick Fae, well, 23 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: Dick Fane asked me in the break, hey do you 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 3: want to watch the World Series? 25 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: And the misery went up to about an eight. So oh, 26 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 4: I'm gonna I. 27 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: Can't even ask him if he wants to watch it. 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 4: You know, I like this. 29 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 6: How can can we all just fan the way we 30 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 6: want a fan, based on our values and let other 31 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 6: people fan how they want to fan? 32 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: Is that? 33 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 6: Is that too difficult of a mandate to follow? No, 34 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 6: you have to get over it now, Paul, okay. 35 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 2: All right? 36 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 6: Well yeah, yeah, Well Paul's a good guy. But I 37 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 6: I think that I think that him trying to I 38 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 6: don't know, just yeah, just. 39 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: Fave it alone, leave it alone. 40 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: Well how are you doing? 41 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you've been a Mariner fan for a long time. 42 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: What'd you make of what you saw Monday night? 43 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 4: Man? 44 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 6: Well, you know, here's what I get to and and 45 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 6: and obviously much of the most of the discussion has 46 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 6: been bizarre too versus Springer, right, but Bizardo. But here's 47 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 6: a thought. Every national pundit and local pundit for the 48 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 6: last several years have said, what if the Mariners just 49 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 6: get to the postseason that pitching staff, particularly the starters, 50 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 6: they're gonna carry them right, and to that end, from 51 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 6: twenty twenty two to this two twenty and twenty five, 52 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 6: for over four year period, the Seattle Mariners have three 53 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 6: hundred and twelve quality starts. That is number one in baseball. 54 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 6: The Phillies are second to three h nine. That's forty 55 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 6: eight point one percent of the start. So the last 56 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 6: four season have been quality starts, again best in baseball. 57 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 6: This year in the postseason, twelve postseason games, two quality starts, 58 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 6: sixteen point seven percent. You say, well, it's different, right, yeah, 59 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 6: they popular ear I understand the Dodgers this year are 60 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 6: eight of ten obviously eighty percent, okay. And so if 61 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 6: if you look at how the the starters went in 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 6: you had you lose four games to the Blue Jays. 63 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 6: Obviously Kirby, Now Kirby game seven gave you a winnable effort, 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,279 Speaker 6: but in Game three, Kirby had an ERA of eighteen. 65 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 6: Castillo in game four and a loss, had an ERA 66 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 6: of eleven point six. Gilbert had a loss with an 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 6: ERA of nine. So the combination of your starters, the 68 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 6: guys we've heard for four years and they laid it 69 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 6: out there, they gave you the evidence. I just cited 70 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 6: it that that that was something to believe in. In 71 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 6: their losses, they had a ten point five ERA. Now 72 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 6: you had Castillo. His R went up nine point oh 73 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 6: four percent from regular season to the playoffs. 74 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: Gilberts went up forty one. 75 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 6: Percent, and George Kirby's his rose by forty three percent. 76 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 6: It's a little unfair because he gave you three out 77 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 6: of four of winnable starts. But there have been forty 78 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 6: five different pitchers this postseason in Major League Baseball to 79 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 6: start one or more games. One only one started four, 80 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 6: and that's George Kirby, and you lost three out of 81 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 6: the four that he started. Blake Sneil's three for three, 82 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 6: three starts, three quality starts, Trek Scuble three starts, three 83 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 6: quality starts. O Tani two starts, two quality starts. So 84 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 6: I think, yes, we're talking about the seventh inning. Will continue, 85 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 6: unfortunately to talk about it and hear about it when 86 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 6: we don't want to hear about it. But I think 87 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 6: just a little bit of that, Hey, you count on 88 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 6: the starting pitching to be there when you needed it. 89 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: I just cited the numbers. 90 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 6: I don't know what that means, but I think that 91 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 6: that what we counted on being on being reliable, it 92 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 6: wasn't as reliable as we thought, no doubt. 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 7: Here, Before we get into the really good nuts and 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 7: bolts of Hubreed Love Millan analysis on the Seahawks, engage 95 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 7: in the silly season with us for a second. I 96 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 7: have you been listening to our silly season Sam Donald 97 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 7: conversation all today? 98 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: You have not a little bit. You have not heard 99 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: our show. I thought he listened. Thanks for the support. 100 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 7: Oh right, Well, I don't know how the compensation got 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 7: the four first round draft picks, Dave, I don't know 102 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 7: how it got that far, but we had a battle 103 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 7: and discussing the value. 104 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: Of Sam Donald to this football team. 105 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: Just ask the question, no leading questions, don't don't, don't, 106 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 3: don't cheat here and give him your opinion. 107 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 7: Give him the question, would you trade Sam Donald away 108 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 7: for four first round draft picks? 109 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: Right now? Jesus? 110 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I think that they you can't. 111 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 6: You can't go for I think. 112 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: We said we said that. Yeah, just no player in 113 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: history has ever gone Okay, we get it. 114 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 4: Just dance with. 115 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 6: Us strictly coffee and beer talk I've lost all sense 116 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 6: of pragmatism. Correct, Yes, oh say coffee and beer talk. Wow, 117 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 6: I think that. I don't think the Kansas City Chiefs 118 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 6: would trade Pat Mahomes for a first rounder every single 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 6: year the rest of his career, right, So I do 120 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 6: think that an elite quarterback there is a component. If 121 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 6: you're just like really trying to analyze it. I can't 122 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 6: imagine that Sam Darnold has risen his stock enough to 123 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 6: say that he's worth four number ones, because no player 124 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 6: has ever. But of course no, that's not been allowed. Yeah, 125 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 6: I don't know. I would I do it? Would I 126 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 6: actually do it? Like tomorrow, tomorrow. 127 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: Somebody calls you the rule they changed, Roger Goodell says, 128 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: we've changed the rules. 129 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 7: Yes, well you're yeah, for the rest of this year, 130 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 7: you're going to. 131 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew it was an automatic. Yeah, I'm surprised. 132 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I probably would, but I would get 133 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 6: the sentim I mean, then then then you're kind of 134 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 6: right back where you started. For like, Okay, are you 135 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 6: gonna be able to you should be able to package 136 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 6: to get a quarterback. I'd probably do it, Yeah, probably 137 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 6: do it, but. 138 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: It's not but it's not it's not an automatic yes, 139 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: Like you're not I'm understanding who's on which side. 140 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 8: You're not. 141 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: You're not getting a phone call from some drunk GM 142 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, yes, yes, before the guy could 143 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 3: even change his mind, you're considering that, right like you're 144 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: considering hanging on the sand. 145 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: I think John Snops would do it. 146 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 6: And I think just basically principles that have been you know, 147 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 6: ascribed into the universe, you know, long before we got here. 148 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: Right like like. 149 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 6: A quarterback who was a free agent on his fifth team, 150 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 6: you know, it is not worth four first round draft picks. 151 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 6: That's just like like a law that it you know, 152 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 6: yeah's written on a stone tablet somewhere on a mountain, 153 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 6: and you just follow that that command. 154 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 3: I probably would do it too, you know, as I 155 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 3: told Dick on the ear, Dick would do it. I 156 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: probably would do it, But I also would be a 157 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: little queasy. I don't know what we think Sam Darnold's going. 158 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: To become Hughy. 159 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: If he's going to become a guy who's going to 160 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: be here for six or seven years as a certain 161 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: commodity at quarterback, are you willing to take that and 162 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: turn it into an uncertain commodity and give up the 163 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: most important position in sports to do it. 164 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I get it. And I'll tell you here's 165 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 6: the thought that I don't know how I stumbled on this, 166 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 6: but all the quarterbacks in history that have won seventy 167 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 6: five percent of their games or more, and now. 168 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 2: This is minimum of sixty starts. 169 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 6: Okay, So you've got autogram, you got Darryl Lamonica, and 170 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 6: you've got Pat Mahomes coming into the year. 171 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: I got to update it. 172 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 6: Actually, I think he might have slipped below because he 173 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 6: was right at seventy five percent. Tom Brady was at 174 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 6: seventy four point nine percent. He missed that threshold by 175 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 6: zero point one percent. Okay, so that's the rarity coming 176 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 6: into the year. Sam Darnold was eighteen and six in 177 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 6: his last twenty four games. Now, I don't know when 178 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 6: you should get excited about seventy five percent. 179 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. 180 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 6: Is it three out of four? Is it nine out 181 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 6: of twelve? Like you tell me, I'll play by whatever 182 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 6: rules you want to go. You want to go, you know, 183 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 6: sixty out of eighty, you tell me the rules. But 184 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 6: seventy five percent is a hell of a freaking accomplishment. 185 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: He came in. 186 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 6: At at seventy five percent, and you know, we're kind 187 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 6: of almost hovering about that right now. So I don't know. 188 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 6: I think I think he may have found something. Remember now, 189 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 6: he was drafted as a twenty year old, he gave 190 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 6: up two years of eligibility at USC And then don't 191 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 6: even get me started on the offensive coordinators. I've done 192 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 6: the deep dive that both you know, the offensive coordinators, 193 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 6: they they were out of football once they got done 194 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 6: with the Jets, at least out of the NFL. And 195 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 6: one of them is Jeremy Bates. I don't know he's 196 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 6: doing selling insurance. I don't I don't know. He's like 197 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 6: I looked it up, like these guys did not get 198 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 6: another job after o C and at the Jets. So 199 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 6: then when you watch the tape at at how mangled 200 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 6: those offenses were. I have because I'm sick. I go 201 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 6: back and you know, when we acquire Sam Mortal and 202 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 6: uh and and uh so at an event, I think 203 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 6: it's an interesting turn this this I would say, however 204 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: you feel about I think we should all be able 205 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 6: to get on this point. He's a hell of a 206 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 6: freaking good dude. Now that doesn't mean Diddley pooh when 207 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 6: it comes to wins and you know, but but I 208 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 6: think he's uniquely a good dude, uh knowing a lot, 209 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 6: you know, just being down there at SC talking to 210 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 6: a lot of the people there, and they talked about 211 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 6: him like he walked on water. 212 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm like, am I at USC or 213 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: Kansas State? Right right? Dick? 214 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 6: Like like they like, I'm sittinger thinking, you know, you 215 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 6: guys have had a lot of superstars come through here. 216 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 6: Why are you talking about Sam Darnold like like he 217 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 6: levitates on the above the ground. But that's that's how 218 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 6: people feel about him. I think the leadership, the things 219 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 6: that are coming in. I wouldn't want to trade him 220 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 6: for for four first rounders because I because who would 221 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 6: be our quarterback next Sunday? 222 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. But then I would say, 223 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 2: what are you an idiot? Well, how do you not 224 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: trade him for four first rounder? 225 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, by the way, Jeremy Bates 226 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: is out of football and has been first seven years. 227 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 6: And then the other guy, the other guy was like 228 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 6: he had some weird like dimwit's last name. I don't know, 229 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 6: he's in college. But but but the guy who followed him, 230 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 6: look that guy up. He never coached in the NFL 231 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 6: again either. 232 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 7: Well, so, the thing that you talked about Sam when 233 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 7: we got him was his ability to throw downfield. And 234 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 7: he's leading the NFL and completion percentage and yards and 235 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 7: passes twenty plus yards downfield. So are you seeing the 236 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 7: exact same Sam Donald that you saw in film last year? 237 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 7: Is he a better version? Is he a slightly worse version? 238 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 7: Where is he compareding compared to the fourteen and three 239 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 7: Sam Donald we saw last year. 240 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 6: I think he's really damn similar, and I think that 241 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 6: they were even more under center. I mean they're under 242 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 6: center pretty often now, but the play action numbers are 243 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 6: alive they were last year. You know, he was producing 244 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 6: big plays. He was number one in the NFL and 245 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 6: completion's over twenty yards and more twenty five yards and more. 246 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 6: So he was a downfield guy. Right now, Sam Donald 247 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 6: is number one in the NFL in yards per attempt, 248 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 6: yards per completion percentage of his completions that go for 249 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 6: ten or more yards. By the way, that's fifty eight percent. 250 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: Number one. 251 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 6: Number two I found interesting for obvious reasons is Michael 252 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 6: Pennix at fifty two point one. I mean a six 253 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 6: percent gap. That gap between one and two is great, 254 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 6: and the gap between two and seven. So I mean 255 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 6: everywhere you look, you say, whoa this ball is getting 256 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 6: down the field. 257 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 2: The NFL, the stat portal. 258 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 6: That I plug into, they have a thing called checkdown percentage. 259 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 6: He's thirtieth out of thirty two, which means he's checking 260 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 6: down the few you know, the third fewest of any quarterback. 261 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 6: And yet his off target percentage that the NFL also 262 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 6: tracks six point three percent off target ten point four 263 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 6: is average. He's number two in the second best I 264 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 6: should say second lowest, which you want to be low obviously, 265 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 6: So he's doing what pushing the ball down the field? 266 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 6: Ad or near the best, really the best, and his 267 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 6: accuracy is the second best, and his checkdowns is is 268 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 6: third lowest. 269 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 2: Like like. 270 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 6: You want to build a numbers based argument for this guy. 271 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 6: He's a starter in the Pro Bowl. Again, excuse me, 272 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 6: he's a at least a Pro Bowl. I have to 273 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 6: look who's NFC. Who would be in competition. 274 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 7: Jalen hurts uh for for what? 275 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 2: The Pro Bowl? At quarterback? Oh no, it would be 276 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: right now, would be. 277 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 6: It would be big Baker, but but he he'd be, 278 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 6: you know, being the discussion for number two. 279 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: I haven't looked muh. You know. 280 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 6: I think Dak Prescott's out than a hell of you. 281 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: He's got it. 282 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: He's got a better QBR than Baker Mayfield does. Right now, 283 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott leads the NFL and QBR by the way, 284 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 3: eighty one point two. 285 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: But yeah, three, Matthew Stafford. 286 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 3: Yes, he's more in the conversation now than Geno Smith 287 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: was a couple of years ago when you and I 288 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: got into that little uh Donnybrook on the air, Remember 289 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: that conversation about Geno Smith and the MVP and all 290 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 3: that stuff. So he's way more in the conversation now 291 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 3: than Gino was. But hey, he do me a favorite 292 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: because I want to come back and I know Dick's 293 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: got more for you. I want to talk about Jackson 294 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: Jackson Smith than Jigba. I think there's a simple question 295 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 3: that needs to be asked. Is this offensive approach with 296 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 3: Jackson Smith than jigbah get almost every target just collecting 297 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: numbers like he's Pacman. Is this sustainable for the Seahawk 298 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: offense or at some point are they going to have 299 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: to find a number two wide receiver, a consistent guy 300 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: at a running game.

That is 328 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: the same gap between number two and number seventeen in 329 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: the NFL. That's how far Jackson Smith and Jigba is 330 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: in front of Jamar Chase. The crazy thing is that 331 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase has done that on ten more targets than 332 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: Jackson's got and eight more catches than Jackson Smith than 333 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 3: Jigba has. HI mean, he's a legit first team All 334 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: Pro if not if not guaranteed. Yeah, first team All 335 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: Pro wide receiver right now. But my question is this sustainable? 336 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: Right? 337 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: I Mean, at some point our defense is going to 338 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: figure it out and take this guy away. Can they 339 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 3: continue to roll offensively with Jackson Smith and Jigba on 340 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: pace for one hundred and seventy targets and this bigger 341 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 3: percentage of the offense. 342 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? 343 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I was playing that game when 344 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 6: you were just itching your daddy's tidy whities. 345 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 2: All right, So let's established because I'm sick, how about that? 346 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? 347 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 6: So but yeah, JSN one hundred and seventeen yards per game, 348 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 6: pukah Nikua at one o three. Those are the only 349 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 6: two guys over over one hundred. Let let's look at 350 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 6: it like this. You have the you have seventy targets 351 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 6: for JSN, and you have the next closest guy on 352 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 6: the Seahawks is Cooper Cup at thirty three. So we're 353 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 6: gonna say thirty three as a percentage of seventy is 354 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 6: forty seven point one. Dick, write that down, please, Okay, 355 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 6: So that's where the Seahawks are. Their second their second 356 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 6: highest targeted player is forty seven point one percent of 357 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 6: their highest got mekay. Let's take all of the division 358 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 6: leaders right now. There's eight of them. The average of 359 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 6: them is seventy nine point four percent. Seven of eight 360 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 6: are above sixty percent. Half of them are above eighty 361 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 6: eight percent. If you look at the last three seasons 362 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 6: the Super Bowl winners, they average eighty one percent, and 363 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 6: again the Seahawks are. None of them are under fifty percent. 364 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 6: By the way, the Seahawks again forty seven point one percent. 365 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 6: What about the third guy that's a J. Barner with 366 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 6: twenty two, he has thirty one percent of the top 367 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 6: guy for all teams these division leaders, the averages is 368 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 6: sixty three percent. 369 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: Got me? 370 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 6: So the third most targeted receiver on all the division 371 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 6: leaders is sixty three percent of the highest guy on 372 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 6: that particular team and the Seahawks are less than half 373 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 6: of that at thirty one percent. So there's the numbers. 374 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 6: What does it suggest to me? I look and say, look, 375 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 6: there's not a lot of problems with the offense the playoff. 376 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 6: If the playoff started this weekend, the Seahawks would be 377 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 6: the number six seed in the NFC. They in yards 378 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 6: per game, their tenth points per game, their fifth passing 379 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 6: yards per game, there's seventh. Now, first downs they're sixteenth, 380 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 6: third down conversion they're twenty seventh. So I look and 381 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 6: say things are pretty good in a bye week? Is 382 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 6: that what teams do as they say, well, we're pretty good, 383 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 6: let's just leave well alone enough alone? 384 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: Or do they look at ways they could try and 385 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: be better? 386 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 6: In my opinion, And I went back today and I 387 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 6: watched the tape of all of jsn' seventy targets, of 388 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 6: which he caught fifty exactly. You know why you did that, 389 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 6: because I'm simp thank you, nice good pull. Have that 390 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 6: on the ready, put that on the on the speed doll. 391 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 6: So of the twenty incompletions, I if I was the 392 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 6: quarterback for the Seawks quarterback coach rather for the Seahawks, 393 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 6: I would give eleven minuses on those twenty incompletions to 394 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 6: JSN where the ball should have gone elsewhere, including six 395 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 6: of the eleven to Cooper Cup. 396 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 2: So you've got that. So there are. 397 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 6: Plays, and then there's another four where I just had 398 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 6: to put it in a category of either one I 399 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 6: wouldn't have been as a quarterback coach upset if he 400 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 6: had gone to somebody else. And you've got a Royo 401 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 6: and Horton in some of those. And then now there's 402 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 6: ten screen passes. He out of fifty catches, he's got 403 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 6: ten screens. I look and I say, if you're trying 404 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 6: to get guys involved, why not throw the screen to Horton. 405 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: He's a punt returner. 406 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, you feel that about his his you know, open 407 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 6: field running ability. 408 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: Why not throw it to Cup? So I think that 409 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: I think that. 410 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 6: I don't want to over overcorrect the Seahawks offense. Sam 411 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 6: Donold doesn't have a problem, Clint Kubiak, It's all pretty 412 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 6: damn good. But what if JSN gets hurt for crying 413 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 6: out loud? 414 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 8: Oh yeah? 415 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 6: What if a team comes in with the plan that 416 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 6: that like like they are just absolutely rolling every time 417 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 6: he's on the outside, they're rolling to him. Every time 418 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 6: that he's in the slot, they're going to walk somebody 419 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 6: out and jam the hell out of him, like like 420 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 6: like the Seahawks did in the NFC Championship game against 421 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 6: Steve Smith. I don't know why that just came to 422 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 6: my mind, right, who's fifty seven for the Seahawks? 423 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 2: Uh? 424 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 6: But fifty seven would just just mug him at the light? 425 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 6: Leroy Hill? 426 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: Was it? Is it Leo ray Hill? By then? 427 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Leroy Hill? Because Leroy and your starting lineback. I 428 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 3: feel like there's yeah, I know, but I feel like 429 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 3: it's it doesn't matter. 430 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: So the point. 431 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 6: Is is it is because I'm sick with somebody else 432 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 6: with that last name begins with them. 433 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I probably got the number. 434 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 4: About Michael Bower no last. 435 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 6: Name B and M or Yeah, I know, come on, 436 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 6: come on, because I'm sick so edited that I digress. 437 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 2: But but I don't know, what do you guys think? 438 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:48,479 Speaker 2: You tell me? 439 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 6: Like, like, is that if I've I've just cited the 440 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 6: stats for the division leaders, what the averages are, what 441 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 6: super Bowl? And the fact that that nobody is with 442 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 6: the in even half of the targets, as I said, 443 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 6: forty seven point one percent, nobody is within half? 444 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: Is that a problem? 445 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 8: And I. 446 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 6: Don't know, I feel like it's shoot it, well, who's 447 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 6: the was it? Chris LaDue, the country singer, He had 448 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,959 Speaker 6: this song he says, cowboys riding for a fall, And 449 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 6: and I think when you're in bye week, that's the 450 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 6: time for self scouting and a little bit of introspection, like, hey, 451 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 6: how can we get better? Where things are pretty damn good? 452 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 6: Can we even be better? And I think that they 453 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 6: can be even better if they just tweak the balance 454 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,239 Speaker 6: a little bit. And I'll just I'll close with this 455 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 6: thought on it. So, when I was at the Cowboys, 456 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 6: Michael Irvin had I don't remember this happen in any 457 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 6: other time in my career. Michael Irvin had carte blanche. 458 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 6: When when the Cowboys broke the huddle. He could go 459 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 6: wherever the hell he wanted to be the primary receiver, 460 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 6: and Alvin Harper or whomever they had to just adjust 461 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 6: Michael was going. When I watched the tape of the Seahawks, 462 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 6: Honest to god, I feel like JSN has the leeway 463 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 6: to go wherever he wants to be their primary receiver. 464 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 6: Because it's startling to me when I watch through the progressions. 465 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 6: I know this stuff, I coach this stuff. I look 466 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 6: at it and I go, He's the primary again. He's 467 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 6: the primary again, He's the primary again. Now, I do 468 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 6: want to say this, This has to be mentioned. There 469 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 6: are times when, particularly on a mirrored routes against Jacksonville, 470 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 6: they broke out the shake route, which is a post 471 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 6: corner and then on a flat angle return, so it's 472 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 6: a double shake essentially. Just to put it in lay terms, 473 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 6: So if you're Sam Darnold, I got JSN doing a 474 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 6: shake on my far left, I've got Cooper Cup doing 475 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 6: a shake on my far right, and guess what, JSN 476 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 6: just ran it better and he got more open. So 477 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 6: I don't want to negate that part of it. And 478 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 6: if I'm the quarterback, I'm throwing it to JSN in 479 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 6: those situations, and if I'm the quarterback coach, yeah, I'm 480 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 6: saying that's exactly where you should have thrown it. So 481 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 6: it's a it's a confluence of all these factors. 482 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: But I think a little bit of a tweak. 483 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 3: All right, Hey, here we got we got literally one 484 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 3: minute left, quickly, one minute? 485 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 7: Is this running game fixable or thirtieth at three point 486 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 7: seven yards per attempt? 487 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 6: Probably not? Probably not fixable. I mean in the way 488 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 6: that you want to see. 489 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 7: Fixable door to reasonable give me in the middle of 490 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 7: the league. 491 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 6: Nope, I'm not going there. I've seen too much of 492 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 6: this offensive line through the years. I don't think you're 493 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 6: gonna get materially better in the running game. 494 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, hope you're wrong, my friend. Hope you're wrong. 495 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 3: All right, good stuff, Enjoy the weekend, Go dogs tomorrow 496 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 3: and we'll talk on Monday. 497 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: Enjoy, guys.

Miami just scored. 530 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 8: Of course, it was messy, just scored, but it was 531 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 8: a good goal. So we're just having a nice evening, 532 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 8: nice quiet evening. 533 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 7: Well Goes, You're back where you belong the playoffs. That's 534 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 7: pretty much where the Sounders are always are every year 535 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 7: because of you, largely because of you Minnesota in the 536 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 7: first round, but they got you twice this year. 537 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: What do you think about the matchup overall? 538 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 8: Well, i mean, look the game, the game here in 539 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 8: Seattle was kind of like they had the drama with 540 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 8: you know, the whole cash grab and the Club World Cup, 541 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 8: and the team might have been distracted those couple of 542 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 8: games leading into the Club World Cup. And then we 543 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 8: went to Minnesota Dick and we lost one nothing, but 544 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 8: you know, statistically we dominated you know, possession chances, everything, 545 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 8: and they got a goal on a good free kick. 546 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 8: I'm not going to take anything away from it. So 547 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 8: we played them pretty even at their place, and that 548 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 8: was still when they had you know, Oloase the guy 549 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 8: that they sold over the English champion, the Premiership Championship. 550 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 8: So I mean we feel pretty good, We feel confident 551 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 8: that we can match up with them. 552 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: Well, Brian Schmeetzer again is with us on the radio show. 553 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 3: Let's go back and talk more about what happened in 554 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 3: those two losses and kind of what you really learned 555 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: about their style in those two games. 556 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 8: Well, they had those two particular games, softy, good question. 557 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 8: They were really five three two or five two three. 558 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 8: They really sat back, they relied on their set pieces. 559 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 8: The last four or five games of the year, they've 560 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 8: actually come out of their show a little bit. They're 561 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 8: pressing a little higher up the field. Look, they've done 562 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 8: some good playmakers. It's not like they can't play. So 563 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 8: they're not just the team that people might expect where 564 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 8: they're just going to drop off and you know, let 565 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 8: teams have possession. They've actually, you know, put their foot 566 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 8: on the gas a little bit and press teams. 567 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 7: So we've geo fenced this question and answer here. Nobody 568 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 7: from Minnesota can listen to the answer here. So what 569 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 7: do you do to break down their defense? 570 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: Coach, Well, we have to do. 571 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 8: A really good job of you know, trying to play 572 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 8: through the middle first, narrow them a little bit, then 573 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 8: play outside sometimes. You know, some of our fans have 574 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 8: seen the you know possession where we go from side 575 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 8: to side and it's kind of slow. Well, we want 576 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 8: to make sure that we do the most or the 577 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 8: best with our possession, always having an eye for where 578 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 8: the goal is as we're possessing the ball. So a 579 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 8: lot of the stuff we've been working on, Dick has 580 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 8: been in the attacking third of the field. 581 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 582 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 3: Well, Brian Schmittzer again is with US Sounders Minnesota Game 583 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 3: one playoffs Monday night, six pm over on nine point 584 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 3: fifty am by the way on Monday night and Pedro 585 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: de la Vega going to be out. What's the story 586 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 3: on him? What happened? How long is he out for? 587 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 4: Man? 588 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, that was a tough one, Softy, because he was 589 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 8: really you know, coming on. It's a cracked pateller patella 590 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 8: excuse me, uh and he had surgery to repaarrot. Now 591 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 8: his pateeller tendon was okay. He just tore a little 592 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 8: chunk of bone off and they stitched it back together 593 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 8: and he's going to be out four to six months probably. 594 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 8: You know, i'd i'd say six months just because it's 595 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 8: a pretty good injury, but you never know. I'm keeping 596 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 8: my fingers crossed and he's you know, available to us 597 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 8: early next year. But certainly was a blow to the squad. 598 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 8: But we've got a deep squad. 599 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 7: Well let's talk about that depth. Is it just roth 600 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 7: Rocks stepping in there on the on the left wing? 601 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 7: And if so, how will your instructions for how he 602 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 7: plays maybe differ than what you would do with Da 603 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 7: la Vega. 604 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 8: Well, Paul's different. I mean he's all just work and 605 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 8: work and run and work and fight. Figure out a 606 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 8: little bit more technical ability. But you know, Paul done 607 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 8: fine there. He's he's been really good in that position. 608 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 8: You know, heyeseus on the other side, we are are 609 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 8: left and right side is a little unbalanced. But you know, look, 610 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 8: I like giving you guys scoops. I mean Georgia Menungo 611 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 8: certainly has been a capable winger on the left or 612 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 8: right hand side. But Ryan Kent is awfully close. I mean, 613 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 8: we we're going to make a determination. We had a 614 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 8: day off today, but he's got Saturday and Sunday a 615 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 8: couple more days of training before we take off for Minnesota, 616 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 8: so Kent might be available for even that first game, 617 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 8: So that would that would be helpful. 618 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 3: Well, Brian Schmetzer again with US Monday Night Sounders Minnesota, 619 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 3: let's talk about kind of your defense looking, what do 620 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 3: you think you'll see from them in the first round? 621 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 2: And is Jamar back. 622 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 3: And are there any other injuries that you want to 623 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 3: tell us about potentially, coach. 624 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: Great, great question. 625 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 8: Yes, Yamar is going to be back for the game, softie, 626 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 8: and that big news. You know, there was that little 627 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 8: spell in the middle of the year or after the 628 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 8: League's Cup we were giving up some bad goals, like 629 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 8: some soft goals in my opinion. Look, I think the 630 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 8: last three games in a row, all victories, some clean sheets. 631 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 8: I think we've been pretty good defensively, and you know, 632 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 8: I'm a believer that defense wins championships. Obviously, you got 633 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 8: to score goals, and we've done that this year. But 634 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 8: we get Jaimar back for this series. 635 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: Big, big, big lift, no question. 636 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 7: Well, you've been without Christian rolled on a few games 637 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 7: because he was with the US national team. 638 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 2: Do you think he's locked up a spot on the 639 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: World Cup team next week? Next year? 640 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 8: God, I hope. So, Dick, I mean, look, I'm obviously 641 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 8: biased here, but he has done enough in my opinion 642 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 8: to be part of the twenty six man roster. His attitude, 643 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 8: his application, his play this year, I mean ever since 644 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 8: we moved him to holding midfielder this year, he's been 645 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 8: great and he can keep up. He showed in the 646 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 8: Club World Cup he can He can do it against 647 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 8: some of the best club teams in the world. So 648 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 8: why not with the national team. 649 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the Mariners are done, so we're kind of 650 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 3: counting on you to heal the wound. 651 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: Man, So no pressure on the sound or shoulder. 652 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 8: To borrow the husky tomorrow.
