Speaker 5: the Buccaneers Lions on Monday Night Football Giants Broncos for CBS.

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 4: Here he is our friend, Kevin Harlan. How are you, man? Good?

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying the views here at Twin Peaks today. I'm

35
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: actually in the in the restaurant enjoying it. And I

36
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: wish you were here, but you're not, and I am.

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: So we'll proceed.

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you what lots to talk about from

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: the week that was in the National Football League.

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 4: But I don't know, man.

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 5: Do you ever think in your life that you'd call

42
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 5: a football game where one team we'd be down what

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 5: it was nineteen to nothing after three and yep, the

44
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 5: Broncos rolled off thirty three.

45
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: Points in the fourth quarter. How do you explain that?

46
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know what happened.

47
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: And then it was twenty six to eight, so it

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: was still even with the teams exchanging touchdowns and moving

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: up a little bit in terms of the score, there

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: still was a lot of breathing space and not much

51
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: time and a complete, you know collapse by the Giant

52
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: by the Giant defense. The offense had moved in and

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: actually taken a lead, and then we know how it

54
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: ended with the game winning kick. And we've seen a

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: lot of that. But here was the thing though. The

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: Broncos had lost two games on last second field goals

57
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis and in LA against the Chargers, so they

58
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 2: were due a little bit of redemption and they got

59
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: it with their own last second walk off field goal

60
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: to beat the Giants in a game that they trailed literally,

61
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: you know, the entire afternoons.

62
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

63
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a wild game. I've never seen a

64
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. I've never seen any quarter quarter, not a half,

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: a quarter where a team scored thirty three points in

66
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: the quarter. And this is my forty first year doing

67
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: the NFL. I've never seen it before.

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was bananas, man.

69
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 5: It was also impressive watching that Lions Buccaneers game on

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: Monday night. You know, we had the Seahawks and Texans

71
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 5: and we can talk about that in a second. But

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: you know, we're just sitting here passing the time, Kevin,

73
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 5: honestly on Monday until the Mariner game started against the

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: Blue Jays in Game seven, and we're at a sports bar.

75
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: You know, Jimmy's across the street from the from Lumenfield

76
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 5: watching these Jimmy's watching the Lions and Buccaneers play. And

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: I gotta be honest with you, man, I'm pretty impressed

78
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: by what's happening in Detroit. I thought with their schedule

79
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: that came out when it did come out, that they'd

80
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 5: be in trouble, and they're not. They're five and two

81
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 5: and they might look like the team to beat right

82
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 5: now in the NFC.

83
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: What do you think?

84
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: I cannot disagree with you. And the other part that

85
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: was so great about Detroit is they were without their

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: four starters in the secondary, three of them injured, one suspended,

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: So they were going with second and third team guys,

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: calling guys off the practice squad for that game against

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, who has arguably had the best six game

90
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: start of any quarterback this season in the league, and

91
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: the Lions were just superior. They played great defense, their

92
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 2: offense answered all the different opportunities they had, and going

93
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: in I thought, you know, this really could be like

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: an NFC championship game. Two quarterbacks were neck and neck

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: for MVP for the first six seven weeks of the season. Yeah,

96
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: and yet it was clear, as you alluded to, that

97
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: the Lions were the better team. Now, listen, Tampa Bay

98
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: was without Evans for a good part of the game.

99
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: He re injured himself and now he's out with the

100
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: broken collarbone. They had Godwin on the sideline. He was

101
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: injured again, did not play. Abuca was about eighty ninety percent,

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: was not one hundred percent. He clearly was laboring, they're

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: without their starting running back. I mean that can go

104
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: on and on. Every team's got injuries, every team's got excuses.

105
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: The good ones always find a way to get past it.

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: And on that particular night, Detroit was the stronger team.

107
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: They had the resilience, and they went on to win.

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 4: Kevin Harlan's with us and Kevin.

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: The other kind of big story I guess over the

110
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 5: weekend was what happened with Kansas City and the Raiders.

111
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: Kansas City looks like they might be back. You know,

112
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 5: Pete Carroll made it's he's not used to getting pounded

113
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 5: like this by anybody, and he's getting pounded you know.

114
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: Gino Smith didn't even throw for seventy yards, for God's

115
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 5: sakes over the weekend against Kansas City. So I think

116
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 5: the Raiders are in a world of hurt right now.

117
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 5: But it looks and feet was like, maybe the Chiefs

118
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 5: are back. I don't know, you're kind of close to

119
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: them out there and in Kansas City? Are you?

120
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 4: Are you buying that?

121
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: So last year they won double digit one score games.

122
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: They were winning latent games, they were winning at the buzzer,

123
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: they were winning, you know, with a comeback. The majority

124
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: of their wins last year were one score wins, and

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: I never felt like all season they were really up

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: against the wall with a knife on their neck and

127
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: trying to you know, dig themselves out. But we know

128
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: they began this season losing games, and there was some

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: real searching about, wait a minute, what's going on here?

130
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: And so the sense of urgency came into play much

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 2: earlier this season by virtue of their poor starting record

132
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 2: the first month, and I think that has led to

133
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: the sense of urgency, like I mentioned, but also just

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: like realizing that in this league you need to be

135
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: on your game every week, and you cannot look past

136
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: an opponent, and you've got to play your best football

137
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 2: and and and so I think that mentally has taken

138
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: over him. But even more specifically, they've gotten their top

139
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: two receivers back here over the last three weeks, Xavier

140
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: Worthy and now Rashie Rice and and their offense is whole.

141
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: They were without their left tackle last week, but but

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: he's a rookie.

143
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: He was injured. He'll be back, he'll play, he'll start.

144
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: But they got a great performance from Jalen Moore, who

145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: they paid a lot of money to get. So I

146
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: just think that that they realize that they've got a

147
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: great opportunity to continue this incredible, dynastic run with what

148
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: they've got right now. They've got the fastest group of

149
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: receivers in the league, and they've just been able to

150
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: in so many ways, can continually evolve, uh draft well,

151
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: have these kids participate early in their careers, assist the

152
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: existing veterans, and they always find a way. But now

153
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: that they were kind of up against the wall and

154
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: kind of like really threatened mentally, they were shaken a

155
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: little bit. And I think they've responded very well and

156
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: and and they've got to be a team you gotta fear.

157
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: Baltimore is basically finished, Yeah, at one and one in

158
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: five or whatever they are. We know Cincinnati is without Burrow,

159
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 2: the Chargers are kind of week to week. Denver is

160
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: is winning but in weird ways. Uh yet they're five

161
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: and two and they're they're with the best defense in

162
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: pro football. There's an opportunity here for this team. And

163
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: Philadelphia doesn't appear to be what they were, but they

164
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: are defending champions, so they're always dangerous. And then you

165
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: got to look at the at at at what you

166
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 2: know they're they're dealing with.

167
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: I just I think.

168
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: Right now that what we've seen is is a pretty

169
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: good indication of where these teams are headed the rest

170
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: of the year. We're a core a third of the

171
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: way into the year, and I just think that people

172
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: now are starting to really realize what they've got, what

173
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: they've got to do to win. And this is kind

174
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: of part and parcel with where we are with the

175
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: with the collective bargaining agreement, with the lack of time

176
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: at the facility, uh, the shortened preseason September. You get

177
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: your you get calloused, you get in shape and you

178
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: figure out what your roster is and what you can

179
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: go to. And that's kind of where we are now.

180
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: All these things have been answered and we're ready to

181
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: take off. So what these teams are now is kind

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: of I think what they're going to be the rest

183
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: of the year.

184
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny that, you know, you kind of name

185
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 5: off all the teams that you think might be in

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 5: contention for the for the title, and Kevin Harlan's with

187
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 5: us it was always a contention for my title of

188
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: the greatest play by play voice in the NFL, hat

189
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 5: in the NBA by and in college basketball on scare

190
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: But you look at the Lions, okay, fine, the Chiefs,

191
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 5: okay fine, the Rams all right, and then sticking out

192
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 5: like a sore frickin' thumb, like what are they even doing?

193
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: There is the Indianapolis Colts, Kevin, who have the best

194
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: point differential in the NFL by a mile plus ninety two.

195
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: Lions are next up at plus sixty four. So I mean,

196
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 5: are we just waiting for the Colts to fall off

197
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 5: the face of the earth?

198
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 4: Is this legit?

199
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: They don't know.

200
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: I My confidence in them is low, which is really

201
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: counter to how they've started this season. The quarterback is

202
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: playing out of his mind. They got a running attack,

203
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: which is always to me the number one thing I

204
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: look at an offense. You can pass and pass and pass.

205
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 2: If you can't run the ball, you're in trouble. And

206
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: all success of an offense begins with the run game.

207
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: If you've got a running game, and the Colts do,

208
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: everything seems to fall in place. And the teams that

209
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: don't have a running game are teams that are five

210
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: hundred or below and are trying to figure it out.

211
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: So they've got Jonathan Taylor, the quarterback is playing at

212
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: a high level. They've had a pretty good roster for

213
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: a couple of years and people have liked it. No

214
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: one could have predicted this, especially with Daniel Jones, who

215
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,599
Speaker 2: is in a quarterback battle in camp with Richardson like

216
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: that was a that was a neck and neck battle

217
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: during camp as to who is going to be the

218
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: starting quarterback and Daniel Jones much like these other quarterbacks

219
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: that have resurrected their careers around the league. I mean,

220
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: it's it's stunning what they've done, but my confidence level

221
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: in them, and I know I just said, well, what

222
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 2: they are now is what they're going to be. That

223
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 2: might be the one exception. I probably need to see more.

224
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: I think the league needs to see more. I don't

225
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: think their division is necessarily rugged, so so they're not

226
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: really looking at the division as much as they are,

227
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, the the landscape of the AFC. And it

228
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: does go counter what I just said. But they're the

229
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: one team that I just don't know about. I just

230
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: I'm nuts. I don't know how long this can last.

231
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: But what they've done is is beyond you know, question

232
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: they have. They have answered it against good teams. They've

233
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: done it on the road. The quarterback is playing at

234
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: a high level and like Darnold is playing up in

235
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: Seattle with you know, a resurrected career and Mayfield down

236
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: in Tampa the same way. It's it's it's provided one

237
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: of the great subplots of this league this season. What

238
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 2: these supposed quarterbacks that were drafted high could not do

239
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: with their original team are now doing on their on

240
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: their second, third, or fourth team.

241
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

242
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 5: Well, Kevin Harlan's with us courtesy of Twin Peaks and Kevin,

243
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 5: I know that you're no longer on social media, and

244
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 5: God bless you.

245
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 4: By the way for getting out. Yeah, God bless you.

246
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: Don't do it, my God, do it.

247
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: Just you are my hero in more ways than one.

248
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 5: Teach me, please teach me how to get out of

249
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: the cesspool known as Twitter. But Russell Wilson, very unlike him,

250
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 5: went after Sean Payton the other day on social media.

251
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 5: And the background is that the Broncos, as you know,

252
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 5: played the Giants. You did that game on TV on Sunday,

253
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: and apparently Peyton after the game said the Giants have

254
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: found a little spark with the quarterback, meaning Jackson Dart,

255
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 5: and then Peyton came out and said, I was talking

256
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: to John Marra and I said, we were hoping that

257
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 5: that change, meaning from Wilson to Dart, would have happened

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: long after our game against the Giants, which was a

259
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 5: shot at Russell Wilson obviously. So Russell Wilson comes out

260
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 5: on social media says class list but not surprised. Didn't

261
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 5: realize you're still bounty hunting fifteen years later through the media,

262
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 5: which is a shot at bounty gate obviously. So all

263
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: of us in Seattle were like, that's not like Russell

264
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 5: at all to do something like that, and a lot

265
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: of us were like, hey, good for you man, speak

266
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: up and defend yourself. And I wonder if Russell's kind

267
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 5: of feeling a little bit right now. I mean, you

268
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 5: saw the reaction you got from Giant fans the other night.

269
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: Dable couldn't wait to get him off the field and

270
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: get Jackson Dart out of the tent. And I just

271
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 5: wonder if Russell kind of maybe sees the end of

272
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 5: the line here coming.

273
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: You know, I have always found that a great player

274
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: at the end of his career is probably more nervous

275
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: and more sensitive than he is at the beginning or

276
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: in the middle when he is thriving. And I've noticed

277
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: this a little bit lebron and I think they become

278
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: they want to protect their brand. Derek Jeters said one

279
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: time he said, I was never more nervous than I

280
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: was late in my career because I wanted to protect

281
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: my legacy and what I had done and I didn't

282
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: want to embarrass myself, and I was more nervous. And

283
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if a little bit of that with russ

284
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: in what is thirteen fourteen, fifteenth year and now demoted

285
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: in New York and probably with not a lot of

286
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: prospects on the horizon. If he's feeling like I'm in

287
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: I'm clearly you know, almost at the very end of

288
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 2: this story. I want to protect what I did and

289
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: where my Hall of Fame credentials the first ten years

290
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: of my career with the Seahawks, and I've had a

291
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: rough go here the last handful of years in Denver,

292
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh and now with the Giants, and I don't need coaches,

293
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: my past coaches taking shots at me. So I think

294
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: they are sensitive. I think they want to protect their brand.

295
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: I think they get more nervous, more sensitive when they

296
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: get closer to retirement at the end of this great

297
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: story and career that they've all written, including Russell Wilson.

298
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: So I think there's probably a little bit of that there.

299
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was probably unnecessary for Sean Payton to

300
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: say that. There's no reason to drag that up. There's

301
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: not any reason at all to say anything like that,

302
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: but he did. It was out. I gotta be honest.

303
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: I don't fault Russell for god him back at him.

304
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: We've all got skeletons, we've all got issues in our past,

305
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: and Russell hit one that was pretty sensitive to Shaun.

306
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: So it was. It was a great touche. It was

307
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: a great redemptive hit.

308
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: I hope it goes away and and and these guys

309
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: can just continue doing what they're doing.

310
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm a Russell Wilson fan.

311
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: I hate to see it end like this, but it

312
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: clearly is is not turning out the way that I

313
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: know he had thought it would end.

314
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: Well, good news for you. There's no need to do

315
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: where will Kevin be for TV on Sunday?

316
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: Because we start good?

317
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 5: Well, we just we all know. I mean, if I

318
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 5: didn't know, I would have asked you. But I already know.

319
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 5: And here's how I know, because you're doing Commander's Chiefs

320
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: for Monday Night on kJ R. And then I saw

321
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: a tweet. Again, you're not on social media. I saw

322
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: a tweet from at Don Shula Corleone on Twitter who

323
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 5: wrote prayers to an absolute legend, longtime NFL play by

324
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: play announcer, Kevin Harlan. I hate nothing wrong with him.

325
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: He's just calling the Dolphins on CBS this weekend.

326
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: Sorry, Now that's funny.

327
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: Come on, well yeah, funny to some man. You know,

328
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't know with the Dolphins. With the Dolphins, when

329
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: when they.

330
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: Were good over the last handful of years, you know,

331
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: they were really they were kind of they were putting

332
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: together something special. I don't know what's going on. This

333
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: has been a disaster and I think I think worse

334
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: is ahead of them. They had to come out and

335
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: say this week that Tua was going to start, and

336
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: he's their foundational piece in the first year of a

337
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: gigantic guaranteed contract which is fifty million a year or

338
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: whatever it is. And I mean they're off to a

339
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: start that is incredibly debilitating. No return from it going

340
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: to happen. The division is better, they're they're done and

341
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: we're not even at the halfway point of the season.

342
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: But our crew for CBS had had a run that

343
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: that like they won like like like eight nine games

344
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: in a row with us, and they were all phenomenal, Like,

345
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 2: they were all incredible wins, right and to a you know,

346
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: like they beat Denver seventy to ten. They went up

347
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: in Baltimore a couple of years ago and to a

348
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: threw for like five hundred yards, Like it was just

349
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: like unbelievable performances. And for whatever reason, on the they

350
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: beat Buffalo at home and Tua with a you know,

351
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: last minute drive like like all these great things that

352
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: we were there. We we they put us on these

353
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: hot teams and we've had a lot of denn We've

354
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 2: had Denver three times this year, our crew has, and

355
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: they're clearly one of the hot teams in the league.

356
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: But this was what Miami was a couple of years ago.

357
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: And and that fan base, from what I'm told, and

358
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 2: their PR people told us this, you know, they were

359
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: they were, they really were anyway and enjoying our broadcast.

360
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: We were bringing them good luck. But now I don't

361
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: know if anybody can save them, but we're gonna get

362
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: them this week.

363
00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 4: I love it.

364
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 5: Well, listen, man, you're a professional, and that's why we

365
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 5: love you. That's why we count on you every day

Speaker 4: Friday's show at five o'clock.

413
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 5: And I guess for me, you know, the season can

414
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: still very much be a massive success for you, Dub.

415
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: You got games that I still think you should win.

416
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 5: U Cla Perdue, Wisconsin. Yes, and we're going to Wisconsin,

417
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 5: by the way, in a couple of weeks, courtesy of

418
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 5: Delta Airlines. I'm actually, Dick a little bit bummed out

419
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: about what's happening at Wisconsin because I want to go

420
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 5: there and see the atmosphere. I think it'll still be fine.

421
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 5: Have you seen this student section. Nobody's showing up. They're boycotting.

422
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 5: They want Fickle's head on a platter out there. It's

423
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: not going to be what it is, and it bums

424
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 5: me out because I want to see. We got guys

425
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 5: leaving before they do jump around, which is their big thing.

426
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 5: So maybe they win a couple of games and they

427
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 5: can get them back. But I'm curious to see what

428
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 5: it's like out there. But Wisconsin Perdue, I mean Ucla,

429
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Ucla should be a win.

430
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 4: Also should this weekend? Right? I think should be.

431
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 5: So that's nine wins before the Organ game. That's a

432
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: nine win season before the Organ game. What they got

433
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 5: to figure out, Dick, for me is how to run

434
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 5: the damn football. Jonick Coleman, if you look at Big

435
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 5: Ten games, is thirteenth in the Big Ten and rushing

436
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 5: he's averaging three and a half yards of carry not

437
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 5: good enough. So the question I think that we have

438
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 5: to answer what we can talk to Hugh about as well.

439
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 5: At six at five pm on Friday in the Husky

440
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 5: Hawks at six, are we really going to allow the

441
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 5: injuries to Carver Willison? John Mills just explain away why

442
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: they can't run the ball like that? Is that it

443
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 5: is that enough, Like those guys are not playing, so

444
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: we're cooked.

445
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 7: I think it explains part of it. But yeah, that's

446
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 7: the It's interesting you brought that up. I didn't know

447
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 7: you were going in that direction. This look at the

448
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 7: page that I have in front of me on my computer,

449
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 7: and I was like, because, you know, we figured we

450
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 7: talked about Demon Williams's interceptions first and from that game

451
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 7: because that was the big story. But the underlying story

452
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 7: is the running game. And it's a you know, you've

453
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 7: mentioned it all the time. Why does it seem like

454
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 7: the Seahawks and the Huskies have the same problems at

455
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 7: the same time, Like neither team can run the ball,

456
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 7: yet both teams are still winning at a pretty good rate.

457
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: And both teams have one really good wide receiver and

458
00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: not much else.

459
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: It's bizarre.

460
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 7: It is bizarre, But yeah, Jonah Coleman last three games,

461
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 7: three point two yards per carry, three point one yards

462
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 7: per carry, three point one yards per carre not good enough.

463
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 5: He has not had one hundred yard game in the

464
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 5: Big Ten for eight for seven consecutive games, seven games

465
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 5: in a row in the Big Ten. His last one

466
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: hundred yard game was at USC on November second.

467
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 7: I would imagine Jed knows that, and I would imagine

468
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 7: Jed is going to try to fix that this week.

469
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 7: I agree, because that is how you're gonna have to

470
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 7: win this football game. You're gonna have to control the clock,

471
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 7: you have to ground and pound against a good Illinois team,

472
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 7: but not a team that you should lose to at home.

473
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 5: H Well, look, I mean they got a lot of

474
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: guys back from a ten win team a year ago,

475
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 5: and outside of getting pasted by Indiana, they've actually been

476
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 5: okay this year. But yeah, I mean, I agree with you, Dick.

477
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 5: I think it's a game that Washington should win. And

478
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 5: I just answer my own question. I don't think that

479
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: if we're gonna sit around and say that Carver Willis

480
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: and John Mills, who's a pure freshmen, are that important

481
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 5: to your running game, then they better triple their nil

482
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 5: money because they've still got two upperclassmen and Hatchet. They

483
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: have a guy in Max McCree who started for them

484
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 5: a year ago. They have a four star guard in

485
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 5: Pockey Fee now who's now in his third year or

486
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 5: second year what I think it's third year with the program,

487
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 5: and then they have a senior and drew as a

488
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 5: Party at right tackle.

489
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I mean, I get it, man.

490
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: The problem I think with Udub's running game right now, Dick,

491
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 5: is they don't have a healthy blocking tight end on

492
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 5: their football team, especially with Quinton More going down. But

493
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 5: I honestly thought that Jonah Coleman would be good enough

494
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: to run through anything, you know. I mean, you convinced

495
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 5: me over the summer that they'll be able to run

496
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 5: the ball against anybody. I thought, And it's not happening.

497
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 5: I wonder, and I'm wondering.

498
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to see if they get those guys back,

499
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 7: which I think they will, I.

500
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: Mean, I hope, I hope they will.

501
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 7: It'll be interesting to see because those have been your

502
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 7: two best offensive linemen this year, and if the run

503
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 7: game just magically comes back this week, then I think

504
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 7: this week we can say, Hey, a lot of it

505
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 7: had to do with those two guys being out. But

506
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: you look at what Illinois has done, hey, and give

507
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 7: him a tip of the hat. They have a better

508
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 7: win than you do, right. They beat USC thirty four

509
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 7: to thirty two. That is a really, really good win.

510
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 7: The rest of their ledger is absolutely nothing. A fifty

511
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 7: three point loss to Indiana and a lost to Ohio State,

512
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 7: which was about the same as you lost to Ohio State,

513
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 7: but is a totally different game. That game was over

514
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 7: at halftime. I mean it was the Husky game was

515
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 7: not over at halftime. You've got some late scores by

516
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 7: Illinois to make it look decent, but they lost thirty

517
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 7: four to sixteen.

518
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 4: That could have been thirty four to three very easily.

519
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 5: Well, I just look, I mean, I think we got

520
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: to figure out what Demon Williams is, you know. I mean,

521
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 5: he comes out in the third quarter and just melts down, right.

522
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 5: I mean, maybe not all his fault, but I mean

523
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 5: you got a stop of the six on the Michigan

524
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 5: first drive of the second half, and then two drives

525
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 5: later he throws an interception that probably should have been

526
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 5: a pick six. Next play was a touchdown for Michigan.

527
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 5: Next drive, he throws his second pick. They go on

528
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 5: a nine play touchdown drive, next drive, sack, fumble, turnover

529
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 5: on downs, and then they score a field goal in

530
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 5: the next drive.

531
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 4: First play interception for DeMont.

532
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 5: I mean this was a total complete meltdown offensively in

533
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: the second half. And guys, look, I mean those things

534
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 5: aren't supposed to happen with Jetfish. What is Jetfish's calling

535
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: card offense?

536
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 4: Right? Moving the ball and there?

537
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: Look, I mean, I hate well, I don't hate to

538
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 5: say it because I'm gonna say it with a honks

539
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 5: that and was talking about how great they looked in

540
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 5: the non conference. They din't play anybody, you know, eleven

541
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 5: straight drives of a touchdown. Well, and then they go

542
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 5: out and they play Ohio State and they play Michigan.

543
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: They play and then things are different. So I think

544
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 5: they're a good offense.

545
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 4: I don't think this is an elite offense right now, Dick, No,

546
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: it's not playing like one. Now.

547
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 7: I will go on a not very long limb and say,

548
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 7: I don't believe we will ever in his Husky career,

549
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 7: see a three interception game from DeMont Williams again And

550
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 7: the reason I say that is DeMont Williams going into

551
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 7: that game in his Husky career, had eighteen touchdowns and

552
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 7: one pick, one interception in his Husky career, and he

553
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 7: throws three. Now, I want to talk to Hugh on

554
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 7: Friday about two of those three. And the first one

555
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 7: was egregious demon Williams. I mean that was just he

556
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 7: just didn't see the guy. The second one did the

557
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 7: tight end run the wrong route or not? And the

558
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 7: third one was in Boston's hands and he just dropped

559
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 7: it into the hands of a secondary member.

560
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 5: Well, we got that going On Saturday, Seahawks have the

561
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 5: day off, and again because of the mamineers, it just

562
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 5: feels like, you know, everybody else had to take a

563
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 5: back seat for a couple of days. But do we

564
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 5: have a potential NFC contender on our hands.

565
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 4: Next on ninety three three KJRFM, this is.

566
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 6: Duke of Duke Seafood and this hour is brought to

567
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 6: you by Duke Seafood. Why don't you make it a

568

Speaker 6: Duke's Night tonight. Reserve your table today at dukeseafood dot com.

569
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 6: Now back to Softy and Dick on Sports Radio ninety

570
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 6: three point three KJRFM.

571
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 4: And Houston make a play forts the field goal attempt.

572
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 4: They had a chance there. Now they have to recover

573
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 4: from the penalty you got on two scores. The way

574
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: the offense is playing in this environment to be trouble and.

575
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 3: Pay for the inisode, the's score you and Dunkings, Texan.

576
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 4: Smith and Jigma.

577
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 5: You know, the Seahawks are eleven to four their last

578
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 5: fifteen games, going back to that bye week after they

579
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 5: got beat by the Rams in overtime, eleven and four

580
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: in the last fifteen games. Now, one of those games,

581
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 5: somebody will say that was the Ram game when nobody played. Hey,

582
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 5: I get it, but still eleven and four, when yeah

583
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 5: versus ten and five. I mean, either way, you're kicking

584
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 5: ass since that bye week, And isn't that the week

585
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: where Julian Love said they all came together and said

586
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 5: this nonsense changes now and their defense started stepping up

587
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 5: because they gave up fifty seven points and two consecutive

588
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: games to Buffalo and.

589
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: LA and then they go.

590
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: Seventeen to six, twenty one, eighteen, had the Weirdo game

591
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 5: to Green Bay, but then twenty seven to Minnesota, three

592
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 5: to Chicago, twenty five to LA, and if you throw

593
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 5: out the Buccaneers game, which I know anybody can do

594
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 5: that throughout the worst game, Seahawk defense this year is

595
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 5: averaging sixteen point three points a lot per game. And

596
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 5: the reason why I feel comfortable throwing out the Tampa

597
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: Bay game, Dick, right now, it was such an anomaly, right,

598
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 5: I mean the other six games seventeen, seventeen, thirteen, twenty twelve,

599
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 5: and nineteen, they've only allowed twenty points. They have not

600
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 5: allowed more than twenty one in any other game this year.

601
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 7: This team is very predictable. I mean, they are gonna

602
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 7: hold you in the teams. They are gonna have two

603
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 7: or three unbelievably explosive passing plays and that's gonna be enough.

604
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 7: And they're not gonna be able to run the ball

605
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 7: very well. I mean that is just what this team

606
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 7: does everything. So like, yeah, and Sam Darnald will have

607
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 7: magical throws and then one or two times a game.

608
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 4: He'll go yeah, ah right, he'll just wig out. Well.

609
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 5: Here's my concern about Donald is this and Dick and

610
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 5: I talked about this offa year the other day, that

611
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 5: what you saw against San Francisco, what you saw in

612
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 5: the end zone on Monday night he might be prone

613
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 5: to do. And I really hope we don't see that

614
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 5: in an important game in January. Yeah, because it kind

615
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 5: of freaks me out.

616
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 8: It's one of those things where we've seen Gino have

617
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 8: so many of you know, Smith have so many of

618
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 8: those moments. It does feel like Donald can have those,

619
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 8: but just seems like he has less of those.

620
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: And that's one of the reasons why Gino. Oh yeah,

621
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: and that's why Gino's terrible. Man, He's terrible.

622
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 7: Gino had more in the Rams game that Donald's had

623
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 7: all season.

624
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: Of all this is very obvious.

625
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 8: My point being is that I think if Gino was

626
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 8: on this team, I would be concerned. What you're saying,

627
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 8: Softie about having him in those januine situations. I'm just

628
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 8: so far less concerned because I know they're few and

629
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 8: far between.

630
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 4: With Sam.

631
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 5: Isn't it amazing though, how Schneider jumped off the quarterback

632
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 5: wagon at the exact right time again twice.

633
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: He did it again.

634
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 5: He did it with Russell and now he's done it

635
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 5: with Gino Smith, and I would just say this, where

636
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 5: are all the people out there that were going bananas? Jackson, Bevans,

637
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 5: Corbyn Smith.

638
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 7: They're they're backing into heads like Homer Simpson mena kay again, Yeah,

639
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 7: I mean they're just back in.

640
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: There yet now.

641
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 5: Well, And like I said, I've made crappy predictions on

642
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 5: the air, I've said idiotic things, but we usually own

643
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 5: up twelve. Like I said to you a couple ago,

644
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 5: I just I'm still dying.

645
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: They know. Next time we have Jackson Bevans on the

646
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 4: AAR like, what were you seeing?

647
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 5: Like what honestly like like, what what did you see

648
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 5: that made you so married to that?

649
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 4: Take?

650
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 7: Well, I just I'm not worried about Gino anymore. I'm

651
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 7: looking at this football team. And I don't know how

652
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 7: much you guys pay attention or care about DVOA. Some

653
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 7: people think it's a big indicator on how good a

654
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 7: football team is. The Seattle Seaharks are the number one

655
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 7: football team in the NFL according to DVA, and they're

656
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 7: the only eighth team in the Super Bowl era to

657
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 7: rank in the top five in all three phases this

658
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 7: far into a season.

659
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: I mean, that's pretty incredible.

660
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 5: Have you looked up what the DVO champ does on

661
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 5: the field every year how it correlates to wins and laws?

662
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: Well, the DVA.

663
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 7: Can you know it?

664
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: It changes through the course of the year.

665
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: I'm saying I want usually the playoffs year, the end

666
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 5: of the year, where does the Super Bowl champion finish

667
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 5: top three? Does it finish top like? What does that

668
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 5: actually mean? All right, you go home and look that
