Courtesy of Amazon. 9 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 2: Last night's Thursday night game Chargers Minnesota. Don't you know 10 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: which the Vikings just looked terrible? Was Carson Wentz crying 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: during that game yesterday? It was what was going on? 12 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if he was in pain, slash disappointed, 13 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 3: slash disgusted. 14 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: It was all, Yeah, he looked very twelve year old issue. Yeah, well, 15 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: I'm blaming behind that offensive line, and I'm blaming. I 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: did see a picture though, somebody sent out last night 17 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: that had showed Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones and Viking 18 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: uniforms at the end of last year. Reminded me that 19 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 2: they did have both those guys on their roster a 20 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: year ago. And I don't know, man, I feel like 21 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: we should like send them something you know, like just 22 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: to numb the pain. 23 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they let him both walk in. 24 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just kind of feel like, you know what, 25 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: here's a box of candy or something or whatever. 26 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: You and I sat in the Emerald Queen Casino in 27 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: August and said, you're really going with JJ McCarthy, okay, 28 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: and we went to the window and said, give me 29 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: the under on the nine and a half wins. 30 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: Yep. 31 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 4: Well, you know it's just been it's too easy. 32 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: It is too easy. I don't I mean, I don't know. 33 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 2: I feel bad for them a little bit that they 34 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: because it's one thing to have terrible quarterback play. It's 35 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: another to have terrible quarterback play and then know that 36 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: you had maybe two of the top five quarterbacks in 37 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: the NFL right now on your roster last year. 38 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. 39 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: I just feel like, you know, if you're gonna be 40 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: kind of the sports guys, maybe we should just throw 41 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: them a bouquet or something just to say we're starting. 42 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 5: An edible arrangement. 43 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, what I mean, anything. 44 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: We could offer Sam Darnold for their next four first 45 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: round draft pick? Would you do that for four first 46 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: round draft picks? 47 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 6: Yes? 48 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: I did that? 49 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: Would you really for four first round picks, yes, I 50 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: would two, No, four, Yes, I think three is the 51 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: number where three is probably that it becomes interesting. Well, 52 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: technically the NFL only allows you to trade three of them. 53 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: Is that right? 54 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: Then we have this conversation with a couple of years ago. 55 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: But why I live in reality? That's a good question, 56 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: because here would be my reason why I would not 57 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: do it. Of those four first rounders, they're likely if 58 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: Minnesota continues on this path, going to be fairly high picks. Ye, okay, 59 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: Now you could package them, maybe there's a quarterback coming up, 60 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: or a defensive end whatever, blah blah blah. 61 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,639 Speaker 1: But are you more apt to find. 62 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: More long term success if you hang on to Sam 63 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: Darnald who's twenty eight? 64 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: Is that right? How about Sam Darnal twenty eight years old? 65 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: So the way Sam Donald is playing right now, he 66 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: is trending early in a Seahawk career towards getting another 67 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: contract from the Hawks. Is that fair to say he's 68 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: trending right now? That could change in two months from now. 69 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: Maybe next year you'll feel different. But he's twenty eight 70 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: years old. Are you more apt to find long term 71 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: success for the next five six years if you hang 72 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 2: on to that quarterback or dump him for four draft picks, 73 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: which every single one of them may turn out to 74 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: be a bum, or three of the four may turn 75 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: out to be a bum. 76 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would do that, Dick. 77 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: If you're convinced that Sam Donald is the quarterback of 78 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: the future and every team in the NFL is fighting 79 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: like mad to find a quarterback. 80 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: I mean, for me, there's only like three players on 81 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: the planet I wouldn't trade for four draft picks, four 82 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: number one draft picks, and Sam Darnald's not one of them. Okay, dude, 83 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, man, I mean four first round 84 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: draft picks. 85 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: He upsets you, up sets you up both with. 86 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: Talent and financially for a half a decade. But you 87 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: still have to find the quarterback to make it all work. Yes, 88 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: you do, So what good is it if you don't 89 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: have the quarterback. Look, I'm not saying I would not 90 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: do it, but you got to admit that there's logic 91 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 2: and saying no. Mean, if you have found the most 92 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: important piece to winning in the NFL, and you found 93 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: him at the age of twenty eight, is. 94 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 3: He the most important piece for the Seahawks winning Sam 95 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: Donald defense and their coach defense marriage. I think if 96 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: you want to win a title, you gotta have both, right, But. 97 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: We don't know if Sam Donald is the quarterback that 98 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 4: will win us a title. 99 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: We know the Sam Donald's a quarterback that is good 100 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: enough to get us to the playoffs. 101 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: I think if you've got an elite defense and you've 102 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: got Sam Donald playing quarterback for you, you can win a 103 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: championship if he's playing this way, if he continues this. 104 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 7: So let me just ask this question. Where are the 105 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 7: massive Seahawks holes right now? Where are the holes in 106 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 7: this team where you could say, okay, a first round 107 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 7: X person, right guy, right right guard, center number two? 108 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I can get by with Sundal 109 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: for now. I'd like an upgrade, but I can get 110 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: by with Sundal for now. Right guard for sure. You're 111 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: not drafting a right guard with a number one first 112 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 2: round draft pick. I don't think you'll work edge rusher 113 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: left guard edge rusher for sure. I think you could 114 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: use an edge rusher, lineback, number two, wide receiver, you 115 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 2: could use behind JSN. 116 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 5: I'm hearing a lot of the words, and I would 117 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 5: agree with you. 118 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 7: That we could use, that we could use that you're 119 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 7: not like massive holes on the team. I don't think 120 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 7: so in that conversation. If you don't have massive holes 121 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 7: that you need four first round picks for, then you 122 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 7: don't do the deal because you can get that in 123 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 7: the next draft of the next couple of drafts, and 124 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 7: you don't need to mortgage the quarterback. Now, listen, four 125 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 7: is an insane number. I would go four. Three is 126 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 7: the one where I kind of say. 127 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 4: I mean, just think if we would have had this 128 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: conversation three months ago. 129 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: Sam's been that far, of course, but Sam hasn't been 130 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: any better than he was last year. And that's what 131 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: everybody's point was, like, Oh, Sam was only good because 132 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: he was in Minnesota. 133 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 4: Well maybe he's. 134 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 7: Not, because you say everybody, everybody outside of Seattle that 135 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 7: we talked about the Vegas odds, and we talked about 136 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 7: the line it was where it was because the rest 137 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 7: of the dumb country. 138 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 5: I didn't think that Sam Donald was good. 139 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: I don't think I ever said that. 140 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 2: Well I did say that, but I also know that 141 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: my biggest concern about Sam Donald is he a flash 142 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: in the pan and can he do it again? And 143 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: now he's doing it again. This is now seven games 144 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: where he doing it again. So I am way more 145 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: convinced today that Sam Darnold has arrived than I was 146 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: than I was at the end of last season with Minnesota, 147 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: because now he's backing it up and he's backing it 148 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: up in Seattle. So I gotta tell you, man, if 149 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: you came to me and said you can have four 150 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: first round draft picks that may or may not payan out, 151 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: you're still gonna have to go out and find your quarterback, 152 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: which is the most important piece to winning in the NFL. Look, 153 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,799 Speaker 2: you're right, Dick. This team could win because of their defense, 154 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: but their defense is going to have to be elite 155 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: to win without a quarterback. I mean, Russell Wilson was 156 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: not a world beater when he was here, but he 157 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: was still pretty damn good. He was a top third 158 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: of the NFL, don't you think quarterback when in twenty thirteen, 159 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: top ten, top twelve quarterback maybe in the NFL right 160 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 2: around there. 161 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: But they also had an elite running game. Elite running game. 162 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: So unless you feel convinced that you can find an 163 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: elite defense like a world class defense and an elite 164 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: running game, then yes, eventually it's going to probably come 165 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: back to having to have a star at quarterback. 166 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would do it. 167 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: I mean I would think if we put it out 168 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: to the audience, I'm sure I would think more people 169 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: would rather have four first round draft That's. 170 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: Fine, But I'm not saying that's right. I'm just I'm 171 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: telling you what I think. I mean, four is just okay, 172 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 2: then you need a quarterback. I then go find a quarterback. 173 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: We didn't have a quarterback four months, six months ago. 174 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 7: I mean, I think three is the number to debate. 175 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 7: Four is insane. But I think I think the masses 176 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 7: if we put a pull out there saying right now, 177 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 7: when you trade Sam Donald for three first round draft picks, 178 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 7: I think that would be. 179 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 5: More like sixty thirty. 180 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: Yes, it's closer than this way close to phrase this 181 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: pull right, I don't think it's one hundred percent that. 182 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: And again I'm not saying no, I'm just saying that 183 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: this idea. 184 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, I mean there's I don't think I 185 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: can get there that fast because I am giving up. 186 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: I am giving up the number one thing that you 187 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: need to have in the NFL. Traditionally, to have success, 188 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: and that would make me massively nervous to walk away 189 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: from that guy. If he's as good as we think 190 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: he is, it would make me really nervous to walk away. 191 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 7: Again, I would say that there are not that many 192 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 7: major holes to fill. You can fill the holes over 193 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 7: these next couple of drafts, and given that you don't 194 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 7: need those first round draft picks to go win a 195 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 7: Super Bowl, I don't think. 196 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 197 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 5: At the same time, four is an insane number. Three. 198 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 5: I'm on the fence about three. 199 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 4: Is this a fair is a fair way to phrase this? 200 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: At five o'clock? You think that is a fair way 201 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 3: to phrase this? Pole I would not trade Sam Donald 202 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: unless I got this many first round. 203 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: Picks one, two, three or four. 204 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 8: Yeah. 205 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 5: I like it. 206 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 9: I like it. 207 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I don't even we should. 208 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: You're gonna hear from people that are asking, why is 209 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 2: this a topic to the show? The guy is one 210 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and you want 211 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: to get rid of him. 212 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: Well, no, he was wrong with you. 213 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: I think most people that would We just went from 214 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: Geno Smith that after seven games of Sam Donald validating 215 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: everything they did over the offseason. 216 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: Now you want to move on. 217 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: Twitter is gonna because. 218 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: I think Paul Moyer is gonna kill you. We gotta 219 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: tell you to get over it. 220 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,239 Speaker 3: I think this is gonna show how much more Seahawks 221 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 3: fans value Sam Donald today than they did the day 222 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: we got him, because I remember the day we got him. 223 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: The three of us were excited. But I think there 224 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: was a collective throughout the city when we got Sam absolutely, 225 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: and now I. 226 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 4: Don't think there's a collective meth anymore. 227 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 5: I feel was med. 228 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 7: It was questioning like, okay, are we sure? Like because 229 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 7: I mean, keep in mind, once the details of the 230 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 7: contract came out, it's such a team friendly deal that 231 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 7: once that came out, everybody was like, all right, great 232 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 7: prove it. 233 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: And boy he's proven. Well, I thought it was an 234 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: upgrade over Gino Smith. I didn't think it was gonna 235 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: be this big of an upgrade over Gino Smith. Well 236 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: that's partially dine, I mean too yeah, but still, Sam 237 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: Donald is number six in the NFL and QBR. And 238 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: where's Gino at is? He's twenty ninth. Sam Donald is 239 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 2: number six, Gino is twenty ninth in the NFL. His 240 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: QBR rating is more than double what Geno Smith is 241 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: so you're right, part of its Geno falling apart. But 242 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: I mean, you would have been happy if Sam Donald 243 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: was tenth in the NFL. 244 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 4: How do you think this happening that is top six? 245 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 4: Because you want to trade him? 246 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: Don't you want to get rid of him for unknown booms? 247 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: He's wrong with you. 248 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: I don't want to trade him or first John drop Pick. 249 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: By the way, how bad do you think Russell Wilson 250 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: fills right now? He's got a worse QBR than Geno 251 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 2: Smith does? God, why is this happening now? 252 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: Because remember when we were talking about it with Geno Smith, 253 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: we were like, God, this hasn't happened since, like Jim Plunkett, 254 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: A rich Gannon, like, why all of a sudden in 255 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 3: a five year span? 256 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Is there? 257 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 4: Geno Smith? 258 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, right, Sam Donald, Daniel Jones? Like why all 259 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 3: of a sudden a reclamation projects hitting for like twenty 260 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 3: five years? 261 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 2: Who's next? We talked about this a couple of weeks ago. 262 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 2: I thought out there, maybe Mariota, who was next, might start, 263 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 2: you know, his next the guy at San Francisco's probably 264 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 2: Mac Jones. Mac Jones, he might be next, but he 265 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: didn't have the long career that Darnold and Baker Mayfield 266 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: and Daniel Jones had. Those guys had to wait like 267 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: seven years. That's right, right, Mac Jones is still on 268 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: his original rookie deal. Is he not from Alabama? 269 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, you're right. 270 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 2: There is a there's a massive reclamation wave going through 271 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: the NFL of all these I mean, hew, Joe Flacco 272 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: looked great, you know for Cincinnati. There's this massive wreck, 273 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: this title wave of reclamation projects that are taking over 274 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: the NFL. And I guarant freaking to you, guarantee you 275 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: we can sit here and talk cabab me one about 276 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 2: who the next guy is. There's gms out there who 277 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: are trying to figure that out right now. They're looking 278 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: at rosters and they're looking at backup quarterbacks and third 279 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: string quarterbacks and they're trying to figure out who was 280 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 2: in the wrong system. How about this for a name 281 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: of a guy that could be rejuvenated somewhere else. How 282 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: about two with tongue of Iloa. If you have gets 283 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 2: out of Miami. Now he's making fifty million dollars a year, 284 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: I get that, But if he ever gets a brand 285 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: new coach and gets into a different system and away 286 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: from that weirdo in Miami and he goes in places 287 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: for somebody else. 288 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: Who knows what to Tungavailoa could be all about. 289 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: You, guys want to feel old mac Jones is actually 290 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: in his fifth year in the NFL. 291 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like he was like a rookie like 292 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: last Tuesday. But he was a first round draft pick, right, 293 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: mac Jones? So he's on his fifth year option. No, No, 294 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 2: we have a free agent deal with somebody else. 295 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: Is that correct? I don't know. 296 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 3: He was a Patriot for the first three years and 297 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 3: then he went to Jacksonville and San Francisco. 298 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 4: I think the Patriots declined his options. 299 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: They may have what they may have. Look, guys, here's 300 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: the deal. I'm just saying this. Draft picks are nice. 301 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: Draft picks are awesome. First round draft picks are even better. 302 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: The money you save versus veterans is cool. But if 303 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: you have found a quarterback, you are already winning. You 304 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: are already so far in front of the curve. And 305 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 2: to give that guy up. If you think that Sam 306 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 2: Darnold is going to be here for six or seven 307 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: years into his mid thirties, Dick the starting quarterback for 308 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: the Seahawks and give them a top tier quarterback for 309 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: the next. 310 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: Half decade or whatever. I don't know. 311 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 2: What you can trade him for that would give you 312 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: what he's giving you right now. So I'm gonna well, 313 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: we'll ask you at five what he thinks about this. 314 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: But Richard Sherman, sorry, I wanted to get to this 315 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 2: audio was on Prime last night talking about the Seahawks 316 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: and he believes they might be actually a contender in 317 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: the NFC. 318 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 6: I think the Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl contenders. You 319 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 6: lie in. 320 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 8: I think they have one of. 321 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 6: The best defenses in the National Football League and d 322 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 6: line with a lot of death. You got Byron Murphy, 323 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 6: you got DeMarcus Lawrence, you got Leonard Williams, they keep 324 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 6: coming in ways. And then you've got one of the 325 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 6: best receivers, if not the best receiver in the National 326 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 6: Football League, and Jackson Smith and Jig but you got 327 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 6: Sam Darner, who the Minnesota Vikings are wishing they had 328 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 6: right now. And I just can't see a world that 329 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 6: this team isn't getting better. 330 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 2: Get So, the Seahawks have the third best point differential 331 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: in the NFC, right now at plus fifty seven. Some 332 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 2: of that's aided by the Saint game, obviously, but you 333 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: know the Rams have a different point differential of plus 334 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: fifty eight, and they've got some blowouts as well, including 335 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: the Jaguars this last weekend thirty five to seven. 336 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: Look, I agree with them. I think they are a contender. 337 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: The issue for me is, I think there's probably six 338 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 2: or seven contenders in the NFC, if not maybe five 339 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: or six contenders in the NFC. I think the Niners 340 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: still are a contender, The Rams are a contender, The 341 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 2: Lions are a contender. Philadelphia is a contender. Who in 342 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: the NFC Central would be a contender? Excuse me, the 343 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: NFC South would be a contender. Tampa Bay's a contender. 344 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: That's six teams I name right there. I think it's 345 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: wide freaking open. So yes, I do think they are 346 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: a contender. But I also think it's like the Mariners, 347 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: this thing is opened for the taking. 348 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 3: Well. As I mentioned last week, the Seahawks number one 349 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 3: in DVOA, only the eighth team in the Super Bowl 350 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 3: Area to rank in the top five in all three 351 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 3: phases after the first six games. And you wanted me 352 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: to do a little research on what that meant, right, 353 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 3: So I looked at the end of the regular season 354 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: top five in DVA after twenty twenty one, twenty two, 355 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: twenty three, and twenty four, all four Super Bowl champs 356 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 3: were top five DVOA teams, six of the eight Super 357 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: Bowl participants, six of the eight one seeds, and six 358 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: of the eight two seeds. 359 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: So it while it's not the end all be all. 360 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: For example, like the Packers were a seven seed last 361 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: year and they were a top five DVOA team. But 362 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 3: if you're a top five DVOA team, you're probably not 363 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: losing in the first round of the playoffs. You were 364 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 3: at least going to the NFC Championship Game if not 365 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: the If not the same, how many of those top. 366 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: Five dvo eight teams had to go on the road 367 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: for the wildcard round? 368 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: The Hawks are going right now? 369 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can tell you the seeds. Last year, the 370 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 3: Ravens were the three seed. Okay, they were number one DVOA. 371 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: The Eagles won the Super Bowl, they were the number 372 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: two dvway. Lions were third, they lost at home in 373 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 3: the playoffs. Vikings were fourth, they lost in the first round, 374 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 3: and the Packers what they do in the first round 375 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 3: the Packers winner loser first game out. 376 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: Of the Packers. 377 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: So I think three of those four teams you mentioned 378 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: so far all had home field. 379 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 4: All at home field. 380 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: Yes, most of them are having the first round because 381 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 3: most of them are one one in two seats. 382 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: Green Bay lost to Philadelphia by the way on the road, 383 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, I just think it's a little bit of 384 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: an equalizer when you have to go on the road, 385 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: you know. I mean, look, the Hawks winning the NFC 386 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: West would be huge. That's why that lost to San 387 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: Francisco Week one right now stings so badly because it 388 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: put them behind the eight ball. They've got to beat 389 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: the Niners, gotta beat them on the road in weeks. 390 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: I mean that that game could be the NFC West 391 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: championship game in San Francisco right in week eighteen, could be. 392 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 4: I think the Rams are probably better than the forty 393 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: nine ers. 394 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna find out. We're gonna break. How about 395 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: that for analysis?

Lots of topics the Michigan game, 416 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 2: how do you get Jonah Coleman going? 417 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: And what about all these. 418 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: Kind of rumors going around and his name associated with 419 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: UCLA and floworda all that. Here's my conversation with Jed 420 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: Fish before tomorrow's game with the. 421 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 9: ALAINI let's kind of start with I've always thought it 422 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 9: it's easier for players and coaches to get over losses 423 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 9: versus fans because you guys are in it. You guys 424 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 9: can do something about this. You know, the game Saturday, 425 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 9: the Mariner game on Monday. You sit around all week 426 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 9: just thinking about stuff like that. 427 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: How do you do that? 428 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 8: How do you get over losses? 429 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: Or do you get over losses? 430 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 8: Yeah? 431 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 11: I think it is definitely different because the fans have 432 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 11: to wait a week right before we get to play again. 433 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 11: We're Sunday at eleven. I was in Sunday at seven 434 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 11: thirty in the morning watching the film and grading the 435 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 11: film and getting ready to start moving my own brain 436 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 11: onto Illinois because you can't play the game twice. But yeah, 437 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 11: it's still challenging, it's still upsetting. You still look at 438 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 11: things and like I wish this happened or I can't 439 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 11: believe that happened. But you know, we have to get 440 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 11: over it because it's our job to be able to 441 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 11: have a better performance the next week. 442 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 9: Yeah, go back to that Michigan tape that you're watching 443 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 9: on Sunday morning. But what did you see that was 444 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 9: of the most importance that you've got to clean up 445 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 9: for this game Saturday. 446 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 11: You know, pre snout penalties really cost us in tough 447 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 11: situations where we were in really good field position. So 448 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 11: we've got to clean that up. We you know, we 449 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 11: I believe that we got a little bit enamored with 450 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 11: the situation. I'm in the big house a little early, 451 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 11: and it was kind of our defense did a great 452 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 11: job getting an early stop, and then when we missed 453 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 11: a field goal, I think there was a little bit 454 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 11: of a deflation and we gave up a touchdown there. 455 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 11: I think that, you know, the biggest thing for us 456 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 11: is to be able to make explosive plays on offense. 457 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 11: And if we're not making explosive plays on offense, it's 458 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 11: very hard to drive the length of the field, and 459 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 11: I feel like we just weren't able to get that done. 460 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 9: Can you, honestly in reality do that with the current 461 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 9: state of your offensive line banged up like it is. 462 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 11: Well, we certainly had some challenges, and I'll never make 463 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 11: excuses about anything. 464 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 8: It's always more challenging to hold the ball a little 465 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 8: bit longer or to break or. 466 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 11: Run when, especially in the second half, when you know, 467 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 11: we're playing with our third left tackle with when Max 468 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 11: went down and week in the second quarter or at 469 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 11: the end of the half, and then you know, we 470 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 11: still had to move some guys around, and Quentin Moore 471 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 11: is a huge part of what we try to do 472 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 11: as well, So there were some things that we had 473 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,959 Speaker 11: to deal with, but you know, we got to make 474 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 11: it no matter what. 475 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, a lot of those names of the offensive line 476 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 9: are brand new names versus a year ago, and there 477 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 9: will be brand new names likely next year. Are the 478 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 9: days of seeing three four offensive lineman play two three 479 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 9: years together? 480 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: Are they over? 481 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 8: I hope not. 482 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 11: I mean, if you look at our team, I mean, 483 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 11: my hope is Drew as a Party is back next 484 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 11: year and that'll be his third year. 485 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 8: Is our right tackle? My hope and he's. 486 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 11: Graded at ex feeling well land that hatchets back next year. 487 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 11: You you know, you look at John Mills, you know, 488 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 11: John Mills is only a freshman. You look at Poki 489 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 11: Fin now only a Redchid freshman. You look at some 490 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 11: of the guys that are coming in here. You know, 491 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 11: I think that we're going to be one of those programs. 492 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 11: I really hope that our fans do know our guys 493 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 11: and they are familiar with and in four years from now, 494 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 11: Desmond Robot is a guy they're like, Wow, this guy's 495 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 11: played fifty something games and that would be super cool. 496 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 9: Yeah, you mentioned the way you bounce back. How does 497 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 9: demand bounce back from a game like that? 498 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean that was the most challenging game he's 499 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 11: had in his life if you look at it only 500 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 11: by a stat line, if you look at so many 501 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 11: of the plays that he did make. I tried to 502 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 11: point out him, like, it really wasn't that much different 503 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 11: than any other game that's been played, other than one 504 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 11: guy steps in front of a slant and you know, 505 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 11: we want to be on a miscommunication on a stick round, 506 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 11: Like you got to think more like that. And I 507 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 11: think when we met and we talked and we spent 508 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 11: time together on Sunday for a while, I think that 509 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 11: hopefully helped him understand like it's really just a couple 510 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 11: of plays in every game, in every game, and it 511 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 11: sometimes the plays go your way and sometimes they don't, 512 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 11: and the key. 513 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 8: Is really be able to go. And he's had a 514 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 8: really nice week of practice. 515 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 9: It's obvious what Jonah brings to this team. And you 516 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 9: spoke Thursday at your press conference about how important he 517 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 9: is to the culture of the locker room. 518 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: When I look though. 519 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 9: At just the Big Ten stats and I see Joanah 520 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 9: Coleman thirteenth in the Big Ten and rushing three and 521 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 9: a half yards per game, it's almost shocking to see. 522 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: Numbers like that. 523 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 8: So how do you fix that? 524 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 9: What do you think's been kind of holding that running 525 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 9: game back, besides the offensive line being maybe a bit 526 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 9: banged up. 527 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think what happened was in the big tech 528 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 11: games we had, they've all kind of been unique in 529 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 11: its own way. Certainly, I felt that Oha State was 530 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 11: just a huge challenge to run the football on, and 531 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 11: we made some plays, and then I felt like against 532 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 11: Rutgers they gave us a lot of opportunities to run 533 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 11: them on. So we had a lot of called runs 534 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 11: for Demand and a few called runs for Jonah. And 535 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 11: then against Maryland when the game got their twenty nothing, 536 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 11: it became one of those deals. 537 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 8: So every game is different. 538 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 11: You know, ideally we're always going to try to get 539 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 11: Jonah fifteen to twenty five carries a game. He had 540 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 11: sixteen this past week. We would have loved to have 541 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 11: a few more third down conversions that it would have 542 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 11: got him some more. And I think that he's also 543 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 11: at his healthiest that he's been. 544 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 8: In a few weeks. So I hope to have a 545 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 8: good one on Saturday. 546 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 9: What does this Illinois football team present that is kind 547 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 9: of unique versus what you've seen so far? 548 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 11: You think, well, I think that it's another very good 549 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 11: football team that came off with ten wins that have 550 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 11: been built. 551 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 8: To be a Big ten program. 552 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 11: So they're big, and they're good pass rushers on defense, 553 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 11: and they fly around in their secondary, and offensively with Altmeyer, 554 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 11: they've really built a really good pro style offense. So 555 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 11: it's going to be a great challenge and we're going 556 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 11: to need our fans behind. 557 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: Us before you go. 558 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 9: You and I were talking off vieir about I appreciate 559 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 9: that you'll take on any question from anybody. I'm not 560 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 9: expecting you to give me your credit card number if 561 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 9: I ask for it. If you want to, that's fine. 562 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 9: But I get a lot of people that come up 563 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 9: to me and say, Hey, Billy Napier just got fired. 564 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 9: I see Jed's name at UCLA. 565 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: Is Jed going to be here long term? 566 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 9: Or is this a stepping stone job for him. When 567 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 9: you hear people say things like that, what's your response 568 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 9: to that? 569 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 11: It's frustrating because it's things that like, I'm not I'm 570 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 11: not in control of that. I think it's a credit 571 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 11: to our players that we were playing well in year 572 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 11: two and people are noticing us. But that's it, That's 573 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 11: all it is to me. It's literally people are noticing 574 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 11: that Washington Husky football is a really good brand of program. 575 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 11: It's certainly not a stepping stone. And that alone is 576 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 11: what I just tell everybody that asks, like, I don't 577 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 11: know what anyone's talking about other than rumors at innuendos, 578 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 11: and nothing has to do. 579 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 8: With the truth. 580 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, do you like it here? And more importantly, does 581 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: a wife like it here? 582 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 8: I love it here. The wife's been at every game. 583 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 11: She's on airplanes all the time to make sure my 584 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 11: kids and my wife don't miss a thing. And we 585 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 11: enjoy our summers tremendously here. 586 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 8: So we love it all. 587 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: Right, man, go get them Saturday. We'll talk soon. 588 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 8: Thanks. Go dogs. 589 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: So you know, we live in an era where people 590 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 2: are more privy to information now than ever. Right, So 591 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 2: when amberfish is Jed's wife goes on Facebook or Instagram 592 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 2: and says she's moving back to Tucson to be with 593 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 2: the kids while they finish school. People's radars go up like, oh, 594 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: that's interesting. The coach's wife is not even living in 595 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 2: Seattle full time. So people will take that information and 596 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,239 Speaker 2: do what they want with it, obviously, And I think 597 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 2: the one thing that Jedfish is going to have to 598 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: fight for a lot of people as simple thirteen stops 599 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 2: since two thousand and two, end of story, right, And. 600 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: He's admitted that. He said, Look, I've moved around a lot. 601 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: So there are people that will think that Jedfish is 602 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 2: only here as a necessary evil to take whatever next 603 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: step he wants to take for his college football career. 604 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: And I have come to grips with that, with the possibility, 605 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 2: Dick that he could leave and take off and go 606 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: somewhere else. I've also come to grips with the idea 607 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 2: that the roster could change every single year. So I'm 608 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: trying not to focus on that. I'm trying to just 609 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: take every year as its own entity in college football 610 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: because right now, the way this whole thing is set up, 611 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 2: everything can change, and it can change overnight. And we 612 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,439 Speaker 2: experience that with Kaylan, and we might experience it with 613 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 2: Jed who knows. But I will say this, if Washington 614 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 2: benefits from that, like we've benefited from Kaylan's shortstop, then 615 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: so be it. 616 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 3: Well. I think we're going to see a lot more 617 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 3: jedfishes in the future. He's not going to be as 618 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: much of an anomaly in twenty thirty as he is 619 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: now or even five years. 620 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: I mean a short time. Yes, totally. 621 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 3: I think every score already starts to see it. I 622 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 3: mean the day and age of you know, fifteen of 623 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 3: the top thirty programs in America keeping their coach for 624 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 3: double digit years, those are gone. 625 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: I agree, absolutely gone. 626 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 3: I thought it was so cool that signety Yes exactly, 627 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 3: and you know, the whole happy wife, happy life thing. 628 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you could hear from him, she says, he 629 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 3: comes there. Yes, his wife like this, He said, she 630 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 3: gets on a plane and comes to games, and she 631 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 3: loves it when it's sunny here. 632 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 4: So I mean, but it's not always sunny. 633 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: They're not They're not hiding from the fact that she's 634 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: not here full time. 635 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: They're just not right. And you know, look, I mean 636 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: I don't. 637 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: Think it was necessary for her to say that on 638 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 2: social media. But if they're cool with it, then that's 639 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 2: their prerogative. Hey, I'm not who am I to tell 640 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 2: them what to say what not to say on social media. 641 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 2: But I do think that again, with the rules the 642 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 2: way they are set up, and with teams and universities 643 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 2: being able to just drop fifty million dollars to get 644 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: rid of coaches and then buy other coaches contracts out 645 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 2: from their previous universities, I mean they're throwing money around 646 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 2: like it grows on trees literally, you know. 647 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: I mean you you. 648 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 2: Allow one or two individual big pocket donors to provide 649 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: capital to run a program, then you got to tune 650 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 2: in and listen to what they have to say when 651 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: they want to make a move. 652 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: So it's I don't know, man, I think it's tough, 653 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: what it is. 654 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 3: I think it's tough for a lot of fans to, 655 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 3: you know, to take school seriously. Let's let's use Penn 656 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 3: State for an example, to take school seriously. 657 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 4: When they cry, hey, we need more money, we need 658 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 4: more money, we need more. 659 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 3: Money, and then they have to pay James Franklin fifty 660 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 3: million dollars. 661 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 2: That's but that's normally coming from one person one rich 662 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 2: donor who steps up and writes a check. And some people, 663 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: I think need to realize that it's not like Penn 664 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: State has fifty million dollars sitting there that they would 665 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: have spent on the women's basketball team. That came from 666 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 2: somebody who had an enough of James Franklin and said. 667 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: Look, if I got to write a check, I'll write 668 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: a check. 669 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: Like the guy at Michigan State whatever the hell his 670 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: name is, who bought out what's his nuts that was 671 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: having the sex conversation with the Brandon Tracy what was 672 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: his name?
