Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just what a way to answer after a heartbreaking Game
one on Saturday night. This is MJ in the midday
on a Monday, Christopher Kidd on the other side of
the glass on Sports Radio ninety three to three KJRFM,
Seattlespoards a leader and Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
All I can say is.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm gonna quote my friend who I haven't seen and
talked to in a long time, Santana Moss, former first
round pick from the New York Jets.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We all know where he went to school.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Big time players make big time plays in big time games.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Jorgete Polanco, Cal Rowley and Julia Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh, let's not forget Andres Munos, who came in back
to back games and getting it done last night to
tie the series up against In case she didn't know this,
In case Fox and FS one needed to remind you anymore.
(01:06):
The best picture in baseball ttererk schoobl and he is
he is justifiably he gets that kudos because he's that
damn great, not good, but great.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But there's something in this.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Mariners formula that seems to be able to overcome Schooble.
They did it in the regular season. They got to
him multiple times. Last night he was strong. I mean,
he pitched a great game, didn't get the loss after
the Tigers came back and tied it at two. But
(01:44):
then you talk about clutch. We had the roundtable on
Friday with Softy Me, Dick, Chuck Buck and the Mayor
Ian Ferness, and I brought up the stat about how
(02:04):
you have to look at Julio and more or less
what he has done throughout his career about late inning
pressure situations. And with that being said, he has not
been good in the regular season. In seventy two games,
he's batting two thirty five. But you know what I said,
(02:27):
this is a big spot for Julio. If you want
to go from fringe, periphery all star to true superstar,
you do it in the postseason. He got back on
track this year in the regular season, got off to
a slow start. Post All Star break was absolutely ridiculous, phenomenal.
(02:51):
There's nothing that you can say about Huy, right, even me,
I when you do eat.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Your crow bro, I ate my crowbro on Julio.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And he not only came up big in Game one,
he came up even bigger in Game two last night
with the game winning RBI double to drive. Callen, Hey,
big dumper, I didn't know you had those kind of
wheels on you. That was pretty good. That was really good.
So that was a huge win. And you know what,
(03:21):
who else I want to give a game ball to
last night? The T Mobile Park faithful, all of you
that showed up last night because I covered the Seahawks
Bucks game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Got home as soon as I can.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
To watch the Mariners Tigers game two, and the forty
eight thousand plus who got into T Mobile Park last night.
That looked big, That looked big time. That looked awesome.
You could hear it, you could sense it, you could
(04:01):
feel it, you could see it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, you come to T Mobile Park in the postseason,
you best be ready because this crowd is gonna make
life a living hell on you, even if you are
the best pitcher in baseball. Terrek Schooble, Now he pitched good.
He actually pitched great. Two and runs in seven innings.
He did his job. The run support came after he
(04:26):
left the game. But then the Mariners answered, and I'll
say this, and I'm not gonna go on any limb here.
If the MS dropped that game last night, it was
a wrap.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It was over. It was over.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't I there's no way they were gonna win
three in a row. Now, how do I feel well?
I feel they're gonna wrap it up in Detroit. We'll
get to that coming up, because Daddy's on the mound tomorrow. Daddy,
it's pretty nice. At first, I questioned as well when
Joe George Kirby was named starter in Game one Castillo.
(05:04):
I didn't mind in Game two because his splits at
home are much better than on the road, so I
didn't mind that at all.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But how nice is it you got?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
In my opinion, if Trek Scoubele is the best pitcher
in baseball, let's just go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And say that he is. Schemes is arguably up there
as well.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm gonna put my boy lg Aka his alternative personality, Walter.
I'm gonna put Logan Gilbert up there as well, as
one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball went healthy,
and you've got Daddy's pitching tomorrow in Game three. Not often,
(05:46):
you know, you have a luxury of having your ace,
your true ace, pitch in game three of a playoff series.
But we've got that tomorrow with Logan Gilbert. But oh,
don't forget hot take Monday. You want to win a
platter of bor said sandwiches. Well, here's what you do.
(06:08):
You go to the iHeartRadio Apple for ninety three to
three KGr, hit the microphone icon button, leave your take
on the weekend whatever it is, Mariners, Hawks, Huskies, and
obviously this coming off a Mariners Hawks, let me just
go ahead and give credit to Demon Williams, Denzel Boston,
(06:31):
Jonah Coleman, Jedfish in the Washington Huskies. Now, I know
Maryland isn't exactly Alabama, but to be down twenty nothing
late in that third quarter and to comeback on the road,
that's a big boy win for the Washington Huskies, especially
(06:52):
coming off back to back games where you had your
Apple Cup in state rival Washington State US. You take
care of that, and then you have the emotional letdown
versus the Ohio State buck guys, and it looked like wow,
now factor fiction. I gave out Maryland plus the points
(07:16):
on Saturday. I was right on that, So I nailed
that one. Picking the locks Friday night four and three,
sixteen to ten on the season against the spread four
and three, picking the Locks and I'm gonna give even
though a guy who's been horrible at Factor fiction, even
worse than Christopher Kid Ian Furness credit because Ian was
(07:38):
sitting we were sitting next to each other yesterday in
the press box at the Hawks game at lumen Field,
and he kept saying throughout the day, Marend is gonna
win a night. They're gonna get it done. I'm like
against schoobl like, this is what they do. They're gonna
get it done. And we got to the postgame press
conference before Mike McDonald walked in, He's like, the Mariner's
(08:01):
gonna get done tonight. Placed the bet last night plus
one twenty five odds on the Mariners to win last night.
Thank you, Ian Farness. He's like, dinner's on me. That's right,
no problem, Taco time here we come, let's go. So
thank you Ian Mayer for that one. That was a
great and I felt really good last night. Thank you
Jorge Polanco, thank you cal Raley, thank you Julio, and
(08:24):
obviously thank you Andres Munos.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
What a game last night. Seattle looked big.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Seattle showed out yesterday even in the Hawks game. Hawks
game yesterday disappointing, obviously, right, you had a chance to
win the game. Sam Donald was brilliant, threw a pick,
hit the top of a helmet and it deflected and
the old man Levante David number fifty four picked it off.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Two really bad endings for Donald.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Obviously, he got rushed on that play against the forty
nine ers where I believe Anthony Bradford got pushed into
him via Nick Bosa A Lucas, that's right, it was
a Blucas. I just want to give Bradford because he's
so bad. I always want to thank Bradford. But it
was a Lucas, You're right. And then yesterday that but
(09:18):
Sam Darnold was unfreaking believable.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
They did not lose that game because of Sam Donald.
And I never thought I would be saying this. They
lost that game yesterday because their defense was absolutely ass
for four quarters. Josh Grizzard, who Josh Grizzard, the new
(09:44):
offensive coordinator who took the place of Liam Cohen. Prior
to that, Dave Kanalis completely out coach Mike McDonald in
his defense yesterday, I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Baker Deez do Abuka. Oh, he came home, Kate Awton,
he came home.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Rashad White, no Mike Evans, no Bucky Irving, no problem.
That's what happens when you get a guy in Josh
Grizzard who has a duke degree. He's pretty smart, and
he out coached Mike McDonald yesterday. Period exclamation point. Now
(10:34):
Mike McDonald, and I asked him after the game yesterday.
I went to the postgame press conference and I said,
how were Tampa's receivers in tight ends so open all
game long?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Well, they did a great job of scheme and stuff open.
We obviously have.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
To play better.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I mean, so it goes both ways. But we know
that they're a great offense and we just didn't get
it done. And when you have guys open like that,
that can't happen, and that's my job make sure that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He took more accountability than that as well. He put
his it's my fault. The offense played great, special teams
was great. It was on me. So I liked that
he took it and it was his fault. It was
the defensive fault. Now, granted, no Devin Witherspoon, no Julian Love.
They were banged up in the secondary. I understand that
Riek Wollen went out with a concussion. I understand that,
(11:31):
but the Bucks had people banged up too. And at
the end of the day, to use the one of
the greatest coaches in NFL history, Bill Parcells, would say,
when it comes to injuries, nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Bucks were banged up.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They didn't have a future Hall of Fame ride receiver,
and they didn't have their starting running back. And they
won that game. And I will say that though. Here's
the one thing about yesterday which I loved. First of all,
the weather here in Seattle is absolutely freaking Oh my god,
it's beautiful. The weather we've had here since April, other
than a couple weeks here and there.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
When it was hot. Oh, I love the weather here
so much. That was a beautiful day. And it was
uniform porn yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uniform porn, absolutely creamsicle orange versus the classic blue and green.
Oh my lord, it was just absolutely uniform porn yesterday.
Unfortunately didn't go the way for the Hawks. It's not
the end of the world. The Bucks of the team.
(12:35):
Remember y'all like to call me out on Clemenson, Who
did I say was gonna win the NFC? Before the
year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now you see why.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Now you see why. All right, don't forget we have.
Speaker 1 (12:50):

That would be amazing, but big weekend overall in sports. Thankfully,
(15:05):
the Huskies and the Mariners ended on a winning note.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
This is a loss. Here's what I would call yesterday's
loss of the bucks. It sucks, but it's a quality loss.
Here's my big question now going forward, what the hell
happened to the defense that I thought was the best
defense in the NFL. They got shredded yesterday. And I'm
(15:32):
gonna tell you right now going forward from this moment,
From this moment on, every offense is gonna look at
that game tape and see what did they do?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Granted, no spoon, no Julian Love, but kid, no pressure.
I'm Baker all game long, clean pocket, no no, but
no pressure, like no, just like.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What was that all about? Break?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Okay, all right, no pressure on that. And we'll get
to that. What happened? Where was Leonard Williams? Where was
Byron Murphy? Where was that? We'll get to that next.
Don't forget keyword for this contest coming up at eleven
hot take Monday. You want to leave a message on
the iHeartRadio app ninety three three KJR, then you do
(16:19):
it right there and we will We will also take
phone calls at noon for you chance to win a
platter of boors said Sandwiches MJ the Today Now back.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
D MJ in the midday on your home for the
Huskies Cracking and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three
point three KJR FM. Where were you caught in between?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Maybe Blitzey more, a lot more pressure, but not leaving
in your back end exposed.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
With d and your vision, Mad.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
We wanted to pressure this game, and we didn't do
it well enough. And so, like I said, this wasn't
designed well enough and didn't call it in the right
spots and we didn't get it done. So but you're
right against this team. Kind of pick your poison at
a certain point.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Grizzy they call him Josh Grizzard got the best of
that guy. Mike McDonald right here on MJ in the
midday that, Yeah, I didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I didn't have that one coming.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I thought that they got no pressure on Baker all
game long, none zero.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So where was that?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And it goes back to what I said before that
this team doesn't have an edge rusher. And you could say, oh,
DeMarcus Lawrence was her. No, they don't have an edge rusher.
They don't have a Max Crosby, they don't have a
Miles Garrett. They don't have a Micah Parsons. But it's
just more than that, like why were these guys so open?
(17:39):
Why were they literally I don't think a Mecho Buka
was that open when he was playing for still a
come High or Kate Oughten at Tumwater. I don't think
they were ever that open. A Mecho Buka, I mean
he abused this team yesterday. Now JSN, his Ohio State predecessor,
(18:06):
had a great game too, But Abuca is just on
another level.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't see it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh and by the way, for any of you that
we're talking before about, well, if Sam Darnold's not the guy,
first of all, he is the guy.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Jalen Milroe, Jalen Milroe.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Really Now, first of all, I don't know what I
have an issue more with the pitch or the call.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
The call was stupid.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The call and Clint Kobiak, who called a pretty good
game all things considered, why at that point are you
calling a pitch? And Jalen Milroe you have one job?
One job? What was that? I mean, what was that?
And this goes back to Jalen Milroy last year in
(19:02):
the SEC he had a five and three record, including
losses to Vanderbilt, which they overcame with Ty Simpson on Saturday,
and a garbage Oklahoma team. In that game, Alabama managed
three points, their lowest point total since I think before
the Bear Bryant era.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That was Jaln Milroe as their quarterback.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
He had five touchdowns in ten interceptions last year in
SEC play. Yeah, we can stop with the Jaln Milroe fantasies.
Get that out of your head because if anything ever happens,
Drew Locke is the backup. I like, I'm more mad
at Kubiak on that, But how can you not pitch
(19:47):
a ball?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Like? What are you doing? What was that? You threw
it to T Mobile for crying out loud oc Dental Hall?
What was that?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Just ugly?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I mean, and it's just And that changed the tenor
of the game changed everything, Just like the fake field
goal by Jedfish the week before against Ohio State, entire
tenor of the game changed. Seattle still had a chance
to win, and they moved the ball and they scored.
But at that point, pathetic, I wow that call. You
(20:24):
didn't need to do it. You didn't need to at all.
Why are you trying to get you know, trickery, Well,
you just didn't need to do it at all. I
just I've never given the defensive fail in the first
four games because they didn't. Even in the San Francisco game,
the defense lost the game. They get an f kid
(20:46):
your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I think now we can stop with the Benchrik wooland
I think that's fair.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
At this point.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You saw Neamiah Pittchard same position as he wasn't and gap.
You want your next man to be ready, but the
Seahawks don't have that depth. Rieka is a starting corner
in the league. He makes mistakes. Okay, number twenty eight,
Niamyah gave up two touchdowns. I don't think Rica is
giving up any of those. Third and fifteen. You're manned up.
(21:16):
Why are you pressing the best receiver on the field.
Watching that, I'm thinking this is not gonna end well.
And he runs a great route. I mean give credit
to where credit is due. He Mega runs a great route,
and Sam or not. Sam Baker delivers a beautiful ball
touchdown the second one that he gave up in the
end zone where he just Neamyah's thrown into the white
(21:37):
You just gotta be more physical you can't let number
seventeen body you, Sterling Shepherd, he can't let him boy
you like that and then end up wide open. Those
are two touchdowns that he gave up. Last time I checked,
when the Seahawks went to the half. It was a
decent game. Thirteen to seven. Seahawks are right there. As
soon as people will on't got that concussion. I'm not
gonna lie a one that was like, oh bencham okay,
(21:59):
Well this what it would look like. That is what
it would look like on Sundays. Reek is not as
bad as everyone makes it. Yes, he has mental errors.
He makes mistakes, but he's not giving up two touchdowns.
He's not looking awful on the field to a point
where Mike mc donalds says, I have to bench you.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Hasn't gotten to that point.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
It got to a point where they submitting out on
certain drives. So I can't wait to go back when
we watch the entire game and see how week played.
But our first glance, I'm thinking, wow, he's out, and
it's third and fourteen, third and thirteen. They throw a touchdown.
Oh cool, another touchdown? Misstackles Zach now Zach what's his name?
(22:40):
The linebacker number forty two, Drake Thomas, Oh, they ran
a screen to the tight end.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
MJ.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know what that tells you as a as a
defensive caller, I'm thinking Mike mc donald's like, oh, they
throw a screen to the tight end.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
We win.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
We're getting off the field, and what happens it Drake
Thomas missed the tackle and slow but slow, but you
know Kate Aughton is able to get fifteen yards. And
then anyone caught a deep sigh because guess what they
thought it was an ineligible man downfield. Then the referees
picked up the flag and said, ah, false alarm, that's
on us. It's not a flag and it's a first down.
(23:15):
A lot of misstackles on Sunday, a lot. That was
the worst tackling I've seen from this team this season.
And I know they don't work on tackling as much
because you don't want to get players hurt in practice,
but my goodness, it just was not good. Guys were
missing tackles left and right. Tyle Kada had a few
missed ones. Just a really rough day for the defense.
(23:39):
And then to your point about Sam, I don't know
what more he could have done. He did get blessed
by the gods. He should have thrown a pick six
in the end zone. But the oh yeah defens.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh yeah a yah yah Dabi he read that.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Perfectly, and thank goodness he plays defense.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And they got Cooper Cup stayed with it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, so the ball did bounce their way, and then
there's nothing you can do. Sam just he stated that
in the press conference that he just misread the blitz
and he's seen it in practice. He said, I'm paraphrasing it.
He said, yeah, they showed this look, I've seen it.
If I would have read hot off to the left,
Tory Horton's wide open, I'm assuming he'd it'd be a
(24:19):
first down if not more. And he just misread it.
But I can't get mad at him for trying to
throw the ball away and the ball ricochet's off of
defender's head.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It got a lucky bounce. Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Whatever Sam Donold was hooping out there, he did no wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
In my eyes. I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
At some point during the game, OC and QB had
a conversation like, Yo, we're gonna have to score every possession.
What do you say, Sam, Yeah, Clint, I got you.
Let's go handle business. And he did that and it
just came down to one play didn't go his way.
But I think in another opportunity he will deliver as
(24:56):
he did against the Arizona Cardinals with the double move.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
You guys all saw that, and I think six they
have Max Max I feed his name, but the dB
is his first name is Max Max Melton. I believe
dB one on one against JSN and who wins that?
JSN so and Sam delivers our beautiful pass?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Was that that? That was the third and six at the
end of the game. Yeah, it set the winning field goal. Yeah, yep,
So he's done it. Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Oh, by the way field goal Jason Myers, wtf, WTF bro?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I mean, literally, what are you doing? How it's a
forty four yard or there's no wind, there's no win
there yesterday none Like you can't there, they didn't get
pro like you just shanked that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
What are you doing? And now you gotta look at that?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I mean how the New England Patriots with a rookie
kicker last night hitting a game winning fifty two yard
field goal and Myers did that at the game before
against the Cardinals. But come on, man, I mean, like,
you just got you gotta be better than that. You
can't make errors like that against a team like the
(26:04):
Bucks because they will make you pay. They've had three
now four one score games and they won them all
and they lost to the Eagles last week. But that's five.
But that's because they turned the ball over. That's another thing, kid.
How many turnovers the Bucks have?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh? Zero, so it was a plus two for them.
They had work.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
So at the end of the day, it's a tough
day for the Seahawks, but I think they'll bounce back.
But they go on the road against the team that
has another decent front four and some solid corners. My god,
the DB's for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Man, they are
I know they're binfield, but there were a couple of those.
I'm just like, if you turn your head, you get
an interception.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
And here's another thing too, Why can't the Seahawks Mike
McDonald has never been able since he's been here in
two years. Why can't they defend the tight end?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Oh that's I think that's what's up with that problem.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Since Pete Carroll right exactly, he probably has to do
with the scheme, especially if you run a lot to
cover three. But even then it doesn't give up the
fact that, as I mentioned, a screen to Tie or
Kate Odden resulted in a fifteen yard first down on
third and long. That just shouldn't happen. No, there's he's
not a burner at the tight end position. It's not
(27:25):
as if they threw it to Elijah Arroyo and he
runs a four to six and just runs by everyone.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh and by the way, let me also give kudos
to aj Barner, because this guy's not a blocking tight end.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
This guy's a legit tight end. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm just gonna bring up two names, and we're up
against it, but I'm gonna bring up two names. Pre
serial killer days, when the Patriots had Aaron hern Anders
and Rob Gronkowski, they were unguardable. I'm just saying, mister Kubiak,
you need to start to imploy implore that more in
your artillery, and you need to base get the Hawks
(28:01):
in with Barner and Arroyo and make the opposing teams
pick one because both can kill the opposing team defense.
And I don't see I don't see any two tight
end sets both of those guys are legit tight ends.
I'm not saying they're Gronk and Hernandez. Well we know
they're not Hernandez because neither one of them is a
(28:22):
serial killer. But I'm just saying in terms of on
the field, when the Patriots they went to a super
Bowl with Gronk and Aaron Hernandez, that needs to be
more part of the Seahawks offense going forward. Coming up next,
sitting to all fields, we can get to two things.
Number One, my oh my, you just can't trust well,
(28:45):
let me just say this, somebody stuck up. Somebody stuck
up for us that was on that legion of Boom team.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And you just can't trust those recruiting services when they
give stars out because well, let's just say this guy
is a bust bus bus bus.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Hitting all fields.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
MJ the midday keyword at eleven and former MLB player
current analyst for MLB Network Ryan Heally coming up at
eleven as well, MJ in the midday. All right, everybody remembers,
don't forget a real quick coming up the keyword. If
you want to win a round trip airfare for two
(29:29):
on Seaport Airlines two tickets to the Blazers game against
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors two nights day
at the Benson Hotel and dinner at El Gaucho. We're
gonna be giving out a keyword coming up. You got
to go to the free iHeartRadio app and use the
talk back mike to enter the keyword for your chance
to win. We'll be doing that in about eleven minutes
(29:49):
at the top of the hour at eleven. So we're
gonna be doing this from now until next Friday. And
that's a hell hell of an offer. Seaport Airlines frequent
commuter between Boeingfield and Portland, no c tag, crowds, no TSA.
Oh who doesn't love that? No stress? Booked now at
fly Seaport air dot com. All right, we know what
(30:11):
Richard Sherman said about Russell Wilson on the Prime broadcast
a couple of weeks ago, when both he and Tony
Gonzalez said that Tony Gonzalez said, nobody's played himself out
of the Hall of Fame more than Russell Wilson. Now,
I didn't have Russell Wilson in the Hall of Fame,
but that's a whole nother story, and Richard Sherman not
only doubled down, he tripled down on that and said,
(30:34):
if it wasn't for the Legion of Boom, he would
have been nothing. Paraphrasing here, Well, somebody got Russ's back,
Michael Bennett.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
But if you think about what he's done on the
field as a player, he's one. You think about what
he's done off the field, he's one. He's been NFL
minute a year, he's been charitable, he does everything right.
I think that, you know Sharm's kind of statement, I
think there's some more animal. I think that Tony Gonzalez.
I actually saw Tony Gunzalez in the airport the other
(31:04):
day the other day when I was coming back from
LA I wanted to ask him about it, but I
didn't because you know, he look like he was trying
to he was in a rush. But I don't think
that's I don't think that's right. I think if we
did that for everybody, every player, that means that Russell
Westbrook is in the Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
That means that we have to say that anybody that
has Carmelo Anthony his last two years or anybody, anybody,
anybody that keeps playing past their prime is no longer
a Hall of Famer because they're diminished. Like, yeah, I
don't agree with it either. I think it's an unfair statement.
I think there's something that Russell and sharm need to
go to, some type of like marriage counseling or something,
(31:42):
or they just kind of both get in there and
just hash it out, because I think I think Sharan's
assessment of Russell's career is unfair. I think, you know,
like Russell has done everything he needed to do. I
think he hasn't had the success over the last couple
of years to be able to to, you know, be
considered one of those old school graates, I mean, be
(32:06):
still great at what the level that he was, Like
Tom left from Tampa Be left from New England and
went to Tampa Bay, didn't want to win a championship.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I feel like at the end of the day, I
think I'm gonna say Russell is a Hall of Famer
if somebody like Eli Mann is in the Hall of Fame,
if Philip Rivers isn't in the Hall of Fame. It's
like some of these guys never even won championships. At
least Russell's been a.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Two, all right, Michael Bennett getting Russell Wilson's back seat.
I didn't have Russell Wilson as a Hall of Famer
prior to him going to Denver or Pittsburgh or the Giants,
So I didn't have him there anyway. That ten time
Pro Bowl crap, No, he didn't. He made five of
them legitimately, legitimately. The other ones were third and four
(32:52):
string alternates.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I don't count that.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I don't care what his Wikipedia page says. All right,
don't forget Ryan Healey. Coming up next, we're gonna talk
about the Man Mariners. But this is your chance.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Coming up at eleven, we're gonna give you the keyword
to win round trip airfare for two on Seaport Airlines,
two tickets to the Blazers Golden State Warriors, two nights
day at the Benson Hotel and dinner at El Gaucho.
Keywords coming up at eleven, right here on MJ in
the midday, and don't forget in an hour hot take Monday,
(33:26):
we're gonna open up the phone lines at noon and
give you a chance to win a platter of Bor
said sandwiches, a platter of Bor said sandwiches.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Made exactly the way that you want.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Kid, get your order ready because Patrick's gonna stop buy
on Wednesday, so we're gonna get some Bor said sandwiches
ourselves on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
But you get a chance to win it.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Coming up at noon on the Hot Take Monday, I
want to hear from you about the Mariners series. Did
the Mariners blow Well, they did blow Game one. They
should have won Game one. They should be up to nothing.
But what you thought about Cal Julio in the clutch
last night? Matt Brash, Yeah, he got the final two
batters out, But Matt Brash was trash last night. And
(34:08):
what happened to this vaunted, heralded Hawks defense that got
sliced indiced big time yesterday against the Bucks. Ryan Heally
next MJ in the midday
Just what a way to answer after a heartbreaking Game
one on Saturday night. This is MJ in the midday
on a Monday, Christopher Kidd on the other side of
the glass on Sports Radio ninety three to three KJRFM,
Seattlespoards a leader and Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
All I can say is.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm gonna quote my friend who I haven't seen and
talked to in a long time, Santana Moss, former first
round pick from the New York Jets.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
We all know where he went to school.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Big time players make big time plays in big time games.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Jorgete Polanco, Cal Rowley and Julia Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh, let's not forget Andres Munos, who came in back
to back games and getting it done last night to
tie the series up against In case she didn't know this,
In case Fox and FS one needed to remind you anymore.
(01:06):
The best picture in baseball ttererk schoobl and he is
he is justifiably he gets that kudos because he's that
damn great, not good, but great.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But there's something in this.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Mariners formula that seems to be able to overcome Schooble.
They did it in the regular season. They got to
him multiple times. Last night he was strong. I mean,
he pitched a great game, didn't get the loss after
the Tigers came back and tied it at two. But
(01:44):
then you talk about clutch. We had the roundtable on
Friday with Softy Me, Dick, Chuck Buck and the Mayor
Ian Ferness, and I brought up the stat about how
(02:04):
you have to look at Julio and more or less
what he has done throughout his career about late inning
pressure situations. And with that being said, he has not
been good in the regular season. In seventy two games,
he's batting two thirty five. But you know what I said,
(02:27):
this is a big spot for Julio. If you want
to go from fringe, periphery all star to true superstar,
you do it in the postseason. He got back on
track this year in the regular season, got off to
a slow start. Post All Star break was absolutely ridiculous, phenomenal.
(02:51):
There's nothing that you can say about Huy, right, even me,
I when you do eat.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Your crow bro, I ate my crowbro on Julio.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And he not only came up big in Game one,
he came up even bigger in Game two last night
with the game winning RBI double to drive. Callen, Hey,
big dumper, I didn't know you had those kind of
wheels on you. That was pretty good. That was really good.
So that was a huge win. And you know what,
(03:21):
who else I want to give a game ball to
last night? The T Mobile Park faithful, all of you
that showed up last night because I covered the Seahawks
Bucks game.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Got home as soon as I can.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
To watch the Mariners Tigers game two, and the forty
eight thousand plus who got into T Mobile Park last night.
That looked big, That looked big time. That looked awesome.
You could hear it, you could sense it, you could
(04:01):
feel it, you could see it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
That.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, you come to T Mobile Park in the postseason,
you best be ready because this crowd is gonna make
life a living hell on you, even if you are
the best pitcher in baseball. Terrek Schooble, Now he pitched good.
He actually pitched great. Two and runs in seven innings.
He did his job. The run support came after he
(04:26):
left the game. But then the Mariners answered, and I'll
say this, and I'm not gonna go on any limb here.
If the MS dropped that game last night, it was
a wrap.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It was over. It was over.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I don't I there's no way they were gonna win
three in a row. Now, how do I feel well?
I feel they're gonna wrap it up in Detroit. We'll
get to that coming up, because Daddy's on the mound tomorrow. Daddy,
it's pretty nice. At first, I questioned as well when
Joe George Kirby was named starter in Game one Castillo.
(05:04):
I didn't mind in Game two because his splits at
home are much better than on the road, so I
didn't mind that at all.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But how nice is it you got?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
In my opinion, if Trek Scoubele is the best pitcher
in baseball, let's just go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And say that he is. Schemes is arguably up there
as well.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm gonna put my boy lg Aka his alternative personality, Walter.
I'm gonna put Logan Gilbert up there as well, as
one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball went healthy,
and you've got Daddy's pitching tomorrow in Game three. Not often,
(05:46):
you know, you have a luxury of having your ace,
your true ace, pitch in game three of a playoff series.
But we've got that tomorrow with Logan Gilbert. But oh,
don't forget hot take Monday. You want to win a
platter of bor said sandwiches. Well, here's what you do.
(06:08):
You go to the iHeartRadio Apple for ninety three to
three KGr, hit the microphone icon button, leave your take
on the weekend whatever it is, Mariners, Hawks, Huskies, and
obviously this coming off a Mariners Hawks, let me just
go ahead and give credit to Demon Williams, Denzel Boston,
(06:31):
Jonah Coleman, Jedfish in the Washington Huskies. Now, I know
Maryland isn't exactly Alabama, but to be down twenty nothing
late in that third quarter and to comeback on the road,
that's a big boy win for the Washington Huskies, especially
(06:52):
coming off back to back games where you had your
Apple Cup in state rival Washington State US. You take
care of that, and then you have the emotional letdown
versus the Ohio State buck guys, and it looked like wow,
now factor fiction. I gave out Maryland plus the points
(07:16):
on Saturday. I was right on that, So I nailed
that one. Picking the locks Friday night four and three,
sixteen to ten on the season against the spread four
and three, picking the Locks and I'm gonna give even
though a guy who's been horrible at Factor fiction, even
worse than Christopher Kid Ian Furness credit because Ian was
(07:38):
sitting we were sitting next to each other yesterday in
the press box at the Hawks game at lumen Field,
and he kept saying throughout the day, Marend is gonna
win a night. They're gonna get it done. I'm like
against schoobl like, this is what they do. They're gonna
get it done. And we got to the postgame press
conference before Mike McDonald walked in, He's like, the Mariner's
(08:01):
gonna get done tonight. Placed the bet last night plus
one twenty five odds on the Mariners to win last night.
Thank you, Ian Farness. He's like, dinner's on me. That's right,
no problem, Taco time here we come, let's go. So
thank you Ian Mayer for that one. That was a
great and I felt really good last night. Thank you
Jorge Polanco, thank you cal Raley, thank you Julio, and
(08:24):
obviously thank you Andres Munos.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
What a game last night. Seattle looked big.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Seattle showed out yesterday even in the Hawks game. Hawks
game yesterday disappointing, obviously, right, you had a chance to
win the game. Sam Donald was brilliant, threw a pick,
hit the top of a helmet and it deflected and
the old man Levante David number fifty four picked it off.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Two really bad endings for Donald.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Obviously, he got rushed on that play against the forty
nine ers where I believe Anthony Bradford got pushed into
him via Nick Bosa A Lucas, that's right, it was
a Blucas. I just want to give Bradford because he's
so bad. I always want to thank Bradford. But it
was a Lucas, You're right. And then yesterday that but
(09:18):
Sam Darnold was unfreaking believable.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
They did not lose that game because of Sam Donald.
And I never thought I would be saying this. They
lost that game yesterday because their defense was absolutely ass
for four quarters. Josh Grizzard, who Josh Grizzard, the new
(09:44):
offensive coordinator who took the place of Liam Cohen. Prior
to that, Dave Kanalis completely out coach Mike McDonald in
his defense yesterday, I mean.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Baker Deez do Abuka. Oh, he came home, Kate Awton,
he came home.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Rashad White, no Mike Evans, no Bucky Irving, no problem.
That's what happens when you get a guy in Josh
Grizzard who has a duke degree. He's pretty smart, and
he out coached Mike McDonald yesterday. Period exclamation point. Now
(10:34):
Mike McDonald, and I asked him after the game yesterday.
I went to the postgame press conference and I said,
how were Tampa's receivers in tight ends so open all
game long?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Well, they did a great job of scheme and stuff open.
We obviously have.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
To play better.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I mean, so it goes both ways. But we know
that they're a great offense and we just didn't get
it done. And when you have guys open like that,
that can't happen, and that's my job make sure that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
He took more accountability than that as well. He put
his it's my fault. The offense played great, special teams
was great. It was on me. So I liked that
he took it and it was his fault. It was
the defensive fault. Now, granted, no Devin Witherspoon, no Julian Love.
They were banged up in the secondary. I understand that
Riek Wollen went out with a concussion. I understand that,
(11:31):
but the Bucks had people banged up too. And at
the end of the day, to use the one of
the greatest coaches in NFL history, Bill Parcells, would say,
when it comes to injuries, nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Bucks were banged up.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
They didn't have a future Hall of Fame ride receiver,
and they didn't have their starting running back. And they
won that game. And I will say that though. Here's
the one thing about yesterday which I loved. First of all,
the weather here in Seattle is absolutely freaking Oh my god,
it's beautiful. The weather we've had here since April, other
than a couple weeks here and there.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
When it was hot. Oh, I love the weather here
so much. That was a beautiful day. And it was
uniform porn yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Uniform porn, absolutely creamsicle orange versus the classic blue and green.
Oh my lord, it was just absolutely uniform porn yesterday.
Unfortunately didn't go the way for the Hawks. It's not
the end of the world. The Bucks of the team.
(12:35):
Remember y'all like to call me out on Clemenson, Who
did I say was gonna win the NFC? Before the
year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now you see why.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Now you see why. All right, don't forget we have.
Speaker 1 (12:50):

That would be amazing, but big weekend overall in sports. Thankfully,
(15:05):
the Huskies and the Mariners ended on a winning note.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
This is a loss. Here's what I would call yesterday's
loss of the bucks. It sucks, but it's a quality loss.
Here's my big question now going forward, what the hell
happened to the defense that I thought was the best
defense in the NFL. They got shredded yesterday. And I'm
(15:32):
gonna tell you right now going forward from this moment,
From this moment on, every offense is gonna look at
that game tape and see what did they do?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Granted, no spoon, no Julian Love, but kid, no pressure.
I'm Baker all game long, clean pocket, no no, but
no pressure, like no, just like.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
What was that all about? Break?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Okay, all right, no pressure on that. And we'll get
to that. What happened? Where was Leonard Williams? Where was
Byron Murphy? Where was that? We'll get to that next.
Don't forget keyword for this contest coming up at eleven
hot take Monday. You want to leave a message on
the iHeartRadio app ninety three three KJR, then you do
(16:19):
it right there and we will We will also take
phone calls at noon for you chance to win a
platter of boors said Sandwiches MJ the Today Now back.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
D MJ in the midday on your home for the
Huskies Cracking and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety three
point three KJR FM. Where were you caught in between?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Maybe Blitzey more, a lot more pressure, but not leaving
in your back end exposed.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
With d and your vision, Mad.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
We wanted to pressure this game, and we didn't do
it well enough. And so, like I said, this wasn't
designed well enough and didn't call it in the right
spots and we didn't get it done. So but you're
right against this team. Kind of pick your poison at
a certain point.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Grizzy they call him Josh Grizzard got the best of
that guy. Mike McDonald right here on MJ in the
midday that, Yeah, I didn't see that.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I didn't have that one coming.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I thought that they got no pressure on Baker all
game long, none zero.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
So where was that?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And it goes back to what I said before that
this team doesn't have an edge rusher. And you could say, oh,
DeMarcus Lawrence was her. No, they don't have an edge rusher.
They don't have a Max Crosby, they don't have a
Miles Garrett. They don't have a Micah Parsons. But it's
just more than that, like why were these guys so open?
(17:39):
Why were they literally I don't think a Mecho Buka
was that open when he was playing for still a
come High or Kate Oughten at Tumwater. I don't think
they were ever that open. A Mecho Buka, I mean
he abused this team yesterday. Now JSN, his Ohio State predecessor,
(18:06):
had a great game too, But Abuca is just on
another level.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't see it.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Oh and by the way, for any of you that
we're talking before about, well, if Sam Darnold's not the guy,
first of all, he is the guy.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Jalen Milroe, Jalen Milroe.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Really Now, first of all, I don't know what I
have an issue more with the pitch or the call.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
The call was stupid.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The call and Clint Kobiak, who called a pretty good
game all things considered, why at that point are you
calling a pitch? And Jalen Milroe you have one job?
One job? What was that? I mean, what was that?
And this goes back to Jalen Milroy last year in
(19:02):
the SEC he had a five and three record, including
losses to Vanderbilt, which they overcame with Ty Simpson on Saturday,
and a garbage Oklahoma team. In that game, Alabama managed
three points, their lowest point total since I think before
the Bear Bryant era.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
That was Jaln Milroe as their quarterback.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
He had five touchdowns in ten interceptions last year in
SEC play. Yeah, we can stop with the Jaln Milroe fantasies.
Get that out of your head because if anything ever happens,
Drew Locke is the backup. I like, I'm more mad
at Kubiak on that, But how can you not pitch
(19:47):
a ball?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Like? What are you doing? What was that? You threw
it to T Mobile for crying out loud oc Dental Hall?
What was that?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Just ugly?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I mean, and it's just And that changed the tenor
of the game changed everything, Just like the fake field
goal by Jedfish the week before against Ohio State, entire
tenor of the game changed. Seattle still had a chance
to win, and they moved the ball and they scored.
But at that point, pathetic, I wow that call. You
(20:24):
didn't need to do it. You didn't need to at all.
Why are you trying to get you know, trickery, Well,
you just didn't need to do it at all. I
just I've never given the defensive fail in the first
four games because they didn't. Even in the San Francisco game,
the defense lost the game. They get an f kid
(20:46):
your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
I think now we can stop with the Benchrik wooland
I think that's fair.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
At this point.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
You saw Neamiah Pittchard same position as he wasn't and gap.
You want your next man to be ready, but the
Seahawks don't have that depth. Rieka is a starting corner
in the league. He makes mistakes. Okay, number twenty eight,
Niamyah gave up two touchdowns. I don't think Rica is
giving up any of those. Third and fifteen. You're manned up.
(21:16):
Why are you pressing the best receiver on the field.
Watching that, I'm thinking this is not gonna end well.
And he runs a great route. I mean give credit
to where credit is due. He Mega runs a great route,
and Sam or not. Sam Baker delivers a beautiful ball
touchdown the second one that he gave up in the
end zone where he just Neamyah's thrown into the white
(21:37):
You just gotta be more physical you can't let number
seventeen body you, Sterling Shepherd, he can't let him boy
you like that and then end up wide open. Those
are two touchdowns that he gave up. Last time I checked,
when the Seahawks went to the half. It was a
decent game. Thirteen to seven. Seahawks are right there. As
soon as people will on't got that concussion. I'm not
gonna lie a one that was like, oh bencham okay,
(21:59):
Well this what it would look like. That is what
it would look like on Sundays. Reek is not as
bad as everyone makes it. Yes, he has mental errors.
He makes mistakes, but he's not giving up two touchdowns.
He's not looking awful on the field to a point
where Mike mc donalds says, I have to bench you.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Hasn't gotten to that point.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
It got to a point where they submitting out on
certain drives. So I can't wait to go back when
we watch the entire game and see how week played.
But our first glance, I'm thinking, wow, he's out, and
it's third and fourteen, third and thirteen. They throw a touchdown.
Oh cool, another touchdown? Misstackles Zach now Zach what's his name?
(22:40):
The linebacker number forty two, Drake Thomas, Oh, they ran
a screen to the tight end.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
MJ.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You know what that tells you as a as a
defensive caller, I'm thinking Mike mc donald's like, oh, they
throw a screen to the tight end.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
We win.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
We're getting off the field, and what happens it Drake
Thomas missed the tackle and slow but slow, but you
know Kate Aughton is able to get fifteen yards. And
then anyone caught a deep sigh because guess what they
thought it was an ineligible man downfield. Then the referees
picked up the flag and said, ah, false alarm, that's
on us. It's not a flag and it's a first down.
(23:15):
A lot of misstackles on Sunday, a lot. That was
the worst tackling I've seen from this team this season.
And I know they don't work on tackling as much
because you don't want to get players hurt in practice,
but my goodness, it just was not good. Guys were
missing tackles left and right. Tyle Kada had a few
missed ones. Just a really rough day for the defense.
(23:39):
And then to your point about Sam, I don't know
what more he could have done. He did get blessed
by the gods. He should have thrown a pick six
in the end zone. But the oh yeah defens.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh yeah a yah yah Dabi he read that.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Perfectly, and thank goodness he plays defense.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And they got Cooper Cup stayed with it.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, so the ball did bounce their way, and then
there's nothing you can do. Sam just he stated that
in the press conference that he just misread the blitz
and he's seen it in practice. He said, I'm paraphrasing it.
He said, yeah, they showed this look, I've seen it.
If I would have read hot off to the left,
Tory Horton's wide open, I'm assuming he'd it'd be a
(24:19):
first down if not more. And he just misread it.
But I can't get mad at him for trying to
throw the ball away and the ball ricochet's off of
defender's head.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
It got a lucky bounce. Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Whatever Sam Donold was hooping out there, he did no wrong.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
In my eyes. I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
At some point during the game, OC and QB had
a conversation like, Yo, we're gonna have to score every possession.
What do you say, Sam, Yeah, Clint, I got you.
Let's go handle business. And he did that and it
just came down to one play didn't go his way.
But I think in another opportunity he will deliver as
(24:56):
he did against the Arizona Cardinals with the double move.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
You guys all saw that, and I think six they
have Max Max I feed his name, but the dB
is his first name is Max Max Melton. I believe
dB one on one against JSN and who wins that?
JSN so and Sam delivers our beautiful pass?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Was that that? That was the third and six at the
end of the game. Yeah, it set the winning field goal. Yeah, yep,
So he's done it. Yep.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Oh, by the way field goal Jason Myers, wtf, WTF bro?
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I mean, literally, what are you doing? How it's a
forty four yard or there's no wind, there's no win
there yesterday none Like you can't there, they didn't get
pro like you just shanked that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
What are you doing? And now you gotta look at that?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I mean how the New England Patriots with a rookie
kicker last night hitting a game winning fifty two yard
field goal and Myers did that at the game before
against the Cardinals. But come on, man, I mean, like,
you just got you gotta be better than that. You
can't make errors like that against a team like the
(26:04):
Bucks because they will make you pay. They've had three
now four one score games and they won them all
and they lost to the Eagles last week. But that's five.
But that's because they turned the ball over. That's another thing, kid.
How many turnovers the Bucks have?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh? Zero, so it was a plus two for them.
They had work.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
So at the end of the day, it's a tough
day for the Seahawks, but I think they'll bounce back.
But they go on the road against the team that
has another decent front four and some solid corners. My god,
the DB's for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Man, they are
I know they're binfield, but there were a couple of those.
I'm just like, if you turn your head, you get
an interception.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
And here's another thing too, Why can't the Seahawks Mike
McDonald has never been able since he's been here in
two years. Why can't they defend the tight end?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Oh that's I think that's what's up with that problem.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Since Pete Carroll right exactly, he probably has to do
with the scheme, especially if you run a lot to
cover three. But even then it doesn't give up the
fact that, as I mentioned, a screen to Tie or
Kate Odden resulted in a fifteen yard first down on
third and long. That just shouldn't happen. No, there's he's
not a burner at the tight end position. It's not
(27:25):
as if they threw it to Elijah Arroyo and he
runs a four to six and just runs by everyone.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh and by the way, let me also give kudos
to aj Barner, because this guy's not a blocking tight end.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
This guy's a legit tight end. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm just gonna bring up two names, and we're up
against it, but I'm gonna bring up two names. Pre
serial killer days, when the Patriots had Aaron hern Anders
and Rob Gronkowski, they were unguardable. I'm just saying, mister Kubiak,
you need to start to imploy implore that more in
your artillery, and you need to base get the Hawks
(28:01):
in with Barner and Arroyo and make the opposing teams
pick one because both can kill the opposing team defense.
And I don't see I don't see any two tight
end sets both of those guys are legit tight ends.
I'm not saying they're Gronk and Hernandez. Well we know
they're not Hernandez because neither one of them is a
(28:22):
serial killer. But I'm just saying in terms of on
the field, when the Patriots they went to a super
Bowl with Gronk and Aaron Hernandez, that needs to be
more part of the Seahawks offense going forward. Coming up next,
sitting to all fields, we can get to two things.
Number One, my oh my, you just can't trust well,
(28:45):
let me just say this, somebody stuck up. Somebody stuck
up for us that was on that legion of Boom team.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And you just can't trust those recruiting services when they
give stars out because well, let's just say this guy
is a bust bus bus bus.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Hitting all fields.
Speaker 1 (29:07):

Oh who doesn't love that? No stress? Booked now at
fly Seaport air dot com. All right, we know what
(30:11):
Richard Sherman said about Russell Wilson on the Prime broadcast
a couple of weeks ago, when both he and Tony
Gonzalez said that Tony Gonzalez said, nobody's played himself out
of the Hall of Fame more than Russell Wilson. Now,
I didn't have Russell Wilson in the Hall of Fame,
but that's a whole nother story, and Richard Sherman not
only doubled down, he tripled down on that and said,
(30:34):
if it wasn't for the Legion of Boom, he would
have been nothing. Paraphrasing here, Well, somebody got Russ's back,
Michael Bennett.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
But if you think about what he's done on the
field as a player, he's one. You think about what
he's done off the field, he's one. He's been NFL
minute a year, he's been charitable, he does everything right.
I think that, you know Sharm's kind of statement, I
think there's some more animal. I think that Tony Gonzalez.
I actually saw Tony Gunzalez in the airport the other
(31:04):
day the other day when I was coming back from
LA I wanted to ask him about it, but I
didn't because you know, he look like he was trying
to he was in a rush. But I don't think
that's I don't think that's right. I think if we
did that for everybody, every player, that means that Russell
Westbrook is in the Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
That means that we have to say that anybody that
has Carmelo Anthony his last two years or anybody, anybody,
anybody that keeps playing past their prime is no longer
a Hall of Famer because they're diminished. Like, yeah, I
don't agree with it either. I think it's an unfair statement.
I think there's something that Russell and sharm need to
go to, some type of like marriage counseling or something,
(31:42):
or they just kind of both get in there and
just hash it out, because I think I think Sharan's
assessment of Russell's career is unfair. I think, you know,
like Russell has done everything he needed to do. I
think he hasn't had the success over the last couple
of years to be able to to, you know, be
considered one of those old school graates, I mean, be
(32:06):
still great at what the level that he was, Like
Tom left from Tampa Be left from New England and
went to Tampa Bay, didn't want to win a championship.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
I feel like at the end of the day, I
think I'm gonna say Russell is a Hall of Famer
if somebody like Eli Mann is in the Hall of Fame,
if Philip Rivers isn't in the Hall of Fame. It's
like some of these guys never even won championships. At
least Russell's been a.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Two, all right, Michael Bennett getting Russell Wilson's back seat.
I didn't have Russell Wilson as a Hall of Famer
prior to him going to Denver or Pittsburgh or the Giants,
So I didn't have him there anyway. That ten time
Pro Bowl crap, No, he didn't. He made five of
them legitimately, legitimately. The other ones were third and four
(32:52):
string alternates.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I don't count that.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I don't care what his Wikipedia page says. All right,
don't forget Ryan Healey. Coming up next, we're gonna talk
about the Man Mariners. But this is your chance.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Coming up at eleven, we're gonna give you the keyword
to win round trip airfare for two on Seaport Airlines,
two tickets to the Blazers Golden State Warriors, two nights
day at the Benson Hotel and dinner at El Gaucho.
