Two O six two eight six ninety five ninety five
Go to Patrick and Everett. What's up Patrick?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Hey, how's it going good?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
I was at the game yesterday with the family and
was a bit of a snoother and had to drink
a few cold ones just to kind of get through.
But man, do I don't really remember much from it,
but just a lot of kicking, Yeah, a little disappointing,
just to see our offense just be so anemic and
just not really.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Get much done.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Seemed like every time we got the ball back where.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Weren't able to get like more than tough first.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Down if that.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, so a little disappointing little where he coming into
the Rams game Thursday, But you know, I was just
expecting it to be a little more dominating performance against
sold Man Rivers.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And he and he did such a good the Seahawks
made him look good enough to where he's starting next
Monday night against the San Francisco forty nine ers on
Monday on Football.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, and I hope, you know he's able to show
his show, show the Niners what he kind of did
with us and just kind of keep their defense thinking
and the not able to get a bunch of sacks
and you know, take it to the Niners. But yeah,
a little a little sat on our part just seeing
our defense not also just put him down.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, they just like and like I said, I think
they were prepared, but they clearly just were looking ahead
to Thursday night. I mean you can tell. And and
my thing, Patrick, My thing Patrick, is that I think
that they would have been better off if Daniel Jones
was healthy. I think they would have they would would
have gotten the better Seahawks team.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
Yeah, just had a.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Little more film to study against you. Now, but we
knew that, we knew the run was coming, and we
just their run game looked so much better than our
end game. And that was, you know, probably the most
disappointing out of the whole game itself, is just like, no,
we know what's coming, and we used couldn't get what
did we get like seventeen or twenty yards? Or I
think I was hearing something earlier about just how little production.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
We got walk had. Yeah, it was bad. I appreciate
the phone call. Let's go to James and Tacoma. Who's
up next? What's up James?
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:05):
So with no Cowboys and Cowboys and Chiefs in the
playoffs six year, that's so un American that Roger Goodels
would make a chase next year. He's gonna have a
committee of a dozen people that are gonna side which
fourteen teeths make the NFL playoffs next year. Committee will
do that because we can't have this no chief, no Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And maybe no Baltimore Ravens either.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Right, that's yep, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Let's go to uh Joel who's up next in Renton?
Speaker 9 (03:38):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Joel? My guy?
Speaker 10 (03:40):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's up? Man?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Nothing?
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Man Hey. I just had to call out some of
these Seattle sports fans. Man, I lived in Seattle my
whole life, and the hypocrisy and the front running of
every time the seahawksy something good, like the caller last week. Oh,
this front seven is better than the Legion the Boom,
better than Brandon Neva, and better than Cliff Fabril, better
than Bobby Wagner, better than all these guys that won
(04:06):
a Super Bowl. And who did they play? They didn't
play anybody. They have not played anybody this year. And
then they blamed Sam Darnold. Oh, if he didn't throw
four picks, we would have scored forty five points on
the Rams and we would have won. Well, he didn't
throw any picks yesterday and we scored eighteen. So we
gotta stop living in the now and take it game
by game. Because I agree with you. I think they
(04:27):
completely looked ahead, which happens in sports every single week.
But comparing them when we beat these high school level
teams from that quarterback of the Vikings that probably is
delivering pizza as we speak and we're comparing them to them.
Can we're an all world defense? Wait till we play
and beat somebody before you start crowning people an elite team.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
That's it, all right, Joe, appreciate the phone call. I
will say this though, they did beat the ten and
four Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, and they beat the
nine to five Houston Texans, and they handled them, even
though there was some sloppy play Sam Darnold turned the
ball over. They did handle those teams. But in the
NFC they have beaten zero teams who could go to
(05:14):
the playoffs. That can all change Thursday night. But they
lost to the Bucks playoff team, they lost to the
forty nine ers to start the season playoff team, and
they lost to the Rams playoff team. They've beaten no
teams in the NFC that are currently in the playoffs
if they started today. Two oh six, two eight six,
ninety five ninety five. Roberts up next in Issaquah. What's up, Robert.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Mark James, thanks for taking my call. Earlier in the segment,
Christopher Kidd was talking about the Seahawks making the playoffs
and then being eliminated in the second round. I totally
agree with that, and I'm gonna emphasize this really clearly
problem with the Seahawks running game. Anthony Brawford position he
(05:59):
played is critical for gap tackling, you know, just getting
that hole for the running back to have a chance
to make his move. Watch some of those replays Mark
James about the offensive line.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
You will see it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
The man is incapable of doing anything. And that's why
our run game sucks. Pass blocking is much easier for
an offensive lineman than run blocking. He is uncapable of
doing it. I went on TikTok a dude spent a
whole half hour explaining all the bad blocking Anthony Bradford's
(06:38):
done through this season. That is why we have no
running game. We need to build an offensive line. Did
you watch that Sunday night game?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I did well. Sunday night game. In the last night
I watched Vikings Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay, well they had the Chargers on on for the
end game.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, no, no, no, last night was last night was
Vikings Cowboys. It wasn't Chargers.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Okay. Let's to repeat my point is that he builds
an offensive line, and look at where the Chargers are.
They're going in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yep, yep, we have no.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Offensive line to push us through the you know, going
deep in the playoffs. Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
By the way, I like that phone call, Robert Issaquah.
That's got to be the leader in the clubhouse so far.
You're not wrong. Whatever reason, for a decade straight they
can't get this ole line right here. I don't know why.
Two o six two eight six ninety five. Steve in
Lake Stevens is up next? What's up, Steve.
Speaker 11 (07:46):
Andrew? You're the man? I hope, I hope Over at
the vMac today, they're planning for Thursday. Okay, from top
to bottom, there is not a lot of difference from
best to worst, whether you're talking about him player or
a team. There's no selection committee in the NFL. I'll
take a win, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Next, all right, a win is a win.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm sure they are. I'm sure they are. I think
they were prepping for the Rams game last week too.
More so than then. At least, the player's mindset was
clearly on Thursday night versus the Rams, than Sunday versus
a forty four year old grandfather. Just being honest, let's
just be real. I mean it was a clear look
(08:34):
ahead game. Now, kid, if we'll get to that coming up.
I asked Mike McDonald that question yesterday and he's like, no,
you know, they're a good team. I mean they were
a good they were a really good team with Daniel Jones,
with Philip Rivers. I don't know, made them look better
(08:55):
than they were. Alex is up next in Tacoma on
a hot take Monday. Hey Alex, Hey.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Mjay, love your showy kid. Yeah, you know, a win
in the NFL is a win, but it's it's you know,
just going back to some of your other listeners, Uh,
the running game that we have is it's just it's
appalling and it's so frustrating. Uh you know Kenny Walker,
Uh when he had five carries for six yards, I
(09:23):
mean that's ridiculous. And and and again here I'm going
to be the backseat offensive coordinator at least if you're
going to run the ball, which our running game every
we all know sucks. Our offensive line we've got issues.
But why are you running it up the middle every
(09:44):
stingle time? Take it around the outside, let the running
back maybe break a tackle here or there, But going
up the middle, especially when it's a crucial down. We
know everybody in the freaking world.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Who's watching the game.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
No, it's gonna be a one.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
To two yard game. Yep, every single time.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You're so right. Hey, hey, by the way, you are
on a roll right now. You're one of the best
callers we've had. Uh Alex, let me just say this.
Did you see did you see any of the Sunday
night game between Vikings in Dallas last night?
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, because I was no.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I I watched a little bit. I watched a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, did you see did you see when the entire line,
and this is the mastery of Kevin O'Connell. The entire
line was all towards the far side of the field.
He calls a naked boot lake and and JJ McCarthy
could have crawled in the end zone. Crawled in the
end zone.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
He was tiptoe.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He was right, he was balelaying into the freaking and.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
He was laughing at him. He was laughing at yeah.
Well everybody, yeah, every And it's not just click kubiak.
Speaker 12 (10:58):
Everybody go with the predictable call, run up the middle,
and the entire defense is and unless you've got Marshawn
Lynch or Adriane Peterson or Derrick Henry in their primes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You're not gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You're not gonna you know, I was surprised they didn't
kick me out of the Ammal Queen. I was so
f and pissed yesterday because everybody knows what's gonna happen.
And you know what, the Seahawks are a great team.
We've got a great record. You're right, we haven't.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It was nice to beat Houston and Jacksonville. We've got
a big game coming up against San Francisco and the Rams.
We should have won the two games that we played
against them, but god, dang it, guys. I mean, you know,
put the blame on whoever you want, but these running
plays up the middle, it's just it's a frickin dagger
(11:47):
every single time you watch it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
All right, I appreciate the phone call Alex again, the
old line. It's just something when you think it's fixed
and you're like, nope, same no line, same no line,
two six two eight six ninety five. Jason is up
next in Everett. A lot of phone calls today, love it.
What's up? Jason?
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Hey man? I appreciate you taking my call. My hot
take for the day is is, people, I was at
the game yesterday last night. People need to stop leaving
the game early. It gets to be the last minute
of the game, the Colts kick that field goal, and
I'm at the front of the three hundred level and
people are funneling out of that stadium. And then sure
(12:30):
enough we get the ball back and we start moving
it after that big kickoff return from machine, and then
everyone's standing right in the walkway and the ushers are
having a fit because now they want to try to
move everyone out of there, because everyone's trying to leave
the stadium, but now they see the game still going.
People should stay. You bought your ticket, stay for the
whole game. It was last minute to go, no reason
(12:53):
to leave.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I couldn't agree with you more and you better not leave.
And here's the thing about it too. At that point, Jason,
at that point, you're not gonna get You're not gonna
beat traffic. Nobody's beating it at that point anyway, right,
you got under a minute ago night anywhere. No, no,
(13:15):
I mean, man, you ain't beaten anything at that point.
So fans should stop leaving early. Jason and Everett. I
couldn't agree with you. I didn't see what you did.
But I mean, I thought the crowd was great yesterday.
I thought the Twelves bought it. If the players showed
up the way the Twelves did yesterday, then the Hawks
(13:35):
would have won by twenty six points. But they didn't
show up. They didn't take them seriously. Obviously, they took
them very lightly. It was a clear look ahead. You
don't have to admit anything. We saw what we saw
and they definitely did not take the cult seriously with
a forty four year old grandfather. So it is what
(13:55):
it is. Tim's up next in Lacey. What's up? Tim?
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (14:01):
MJ.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Chris, thanks for having me on Hot Take Monday is
a heart pivot considering its football season, But I just
want to throw it out there. The UDUB men's basketball
team is worth watching and they could be trouble come March.
We got Steinbach, he's there, could be a first rounder
at guard, and kept Nag in the center. They're good man,
(14:24):
Thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
U W men's basketball team, yep, and they're they're already
in conference. I mean they're playing USC and UCLA. They're
already they jump right in a conference early there in
the Big ten. Jeff in Seattle, you're up next two
O six two eight six five. What's up?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Jeff?
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Hey, what's up? I'm going to piggyback on folks going
after the run games and talking about that. But I
don't know. The offensive line terrible, terrible in blocking. But
I keep he hearing Kenneth Walker is the guy, and
everyone raves and raves about him.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
But you want to hot take? I want to see more?
Is Zach Charbonay.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
You look at Kenneth Walker's stats last season, he had
five hundred and seventy three yards and averaged three point
seven yards seven touchdowns. Zach Sharbona is already at that
this season five hundred and fourteen yards, averages three point
seven and eight tds. So why why are we insistent
that Kenneth Walker three is the guy?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, they've been doing this back and forth. Let me
ask you this, though, how much do you think is
is that and the fact that they're not getting the
push off the line to create holes enough to get
running game. Because yesterday they had fifty yards total rushing
fifty they averaged two point three yards per carry yesterday,
I mean, what is it they were going up against
(15:52):
the eighty five Bears, or the twenty fifteen Broncos, or
the two Bucks or the twenty thirteen Seahawks. For that,
they weren't going up against those teams. You averaged two
point three yards per carry.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You're absolutely right. The run game is abysmal this season. Uh.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
And that the previous caller that you had that talked
about us and never running it to the outside. I
watched it happen multiple times yesterday and we still did
nothing out there. So I don't know if it's just
the not running it up in the middle that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah, this zone, this outside zone blocking
scheme hasn't exactly Uh you know, it hasn't given great
results to the ROI on that, Jeff, thanks for the call,
Mike and Cali. Uh, if you are in Cali, I
want to hear your call. But you know you can't
win the board, said Platter, because we don't have QFC
(16:44):
that we can give it in Cali. But go ahead anyway, Mike,
thanks them, Jay, I appreciate it.
Speaker 15 (16:50):
This one thing I want to piggyback on you've talked
about is received to heat and his punt fair catches
seemed to always put us in a in a bad spot.
Is that because our offensive line or is it because
he doesn't want to get hit? That's the first thing
I'd like your opinion on you. Secondly, what happened to
(17:11):
this two BAC system we're talking about early on in
the season. Where's Robbie heard he was inactive yesterday? I
think that would really help our running game.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's why I got him.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Jacob all right, schell, all right, thanks man. I you
know what for me, I it all comes down to
the running game, right, I mean, at the end of
the day, you've got it comes down to that running
game establishing, you know, just you have to impose your
will on the other teams d line. And they couldn't
(17:44):
do that yesterday. They haven't done that a lot of
times this season, and no matter how many times we
talk about it, I don't so I know a lot
of people and yeah, Kenny Walker, you know yesterday, I
mean he had seventeen yards and Zach Charbonne he had
thirty one. I mean neither one of them were gangbusters.
But I mean, how much is it on them, and
(18:07):
how much is it on the O line who can't
do their job. I thought Rashid Shihed played well yesterday.
I mean he had five catches for seventy four yards
and I thought he played pretty good from that standpoint.
But the stupid plays on special teams really put this
team back. They got in a horrible field position early
(18:28):
in the game, and that basically put them in and
where their backs were up against their own goal line,
and then they were three and out or they couldn't
get anywhere. They give the ball back. Colt Scott great
field position and it gave him ten points. Ten points.
All right, we hit the voice text let's just hear those. Well,
(18:50):
no more phone calls, and let's hear what the voice
texts have to say.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
I got to hit the road. So here I go.
I'm not going to take it. No, I can't take it.
I just need a platter a boar. I'm not going
to take it. No, it just can't take it. Cracking
and the Seahawks they can't score. I'm not going to
(19:15):
take it. No, I just can't take it. I just
need a platter a ball. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Oh, by the way, daddy's the leader in the clubhouse. Wow,
very good. And he got the boars Head sponsor in
oh Man, do we have his info? Okay, good, that's good.
You're the leader in the clubhouse, whoever you are. Next,
we didn't do Diadley who on offense. We can't run
(19:43):
the ball.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
We couldn't throw the ball.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
Ken Walker's only getting two yards about a cory yard
of carry.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
We stuck.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Okay, we stuck.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Playoffs.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
Playoffs.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
This team playoffs, probably surprisedly the Rams.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's pretty good too. That's really good. He did the
Jim Morris Senior impression. Playoffs. It's about playoffs. I just
hope we can win a game. Do you know that
ESPN played that so many times? It drove Peyton Manning crazy.
It was his first or second it was his second
year in Indy and it drove him so or third
(20:21):
year and it drove him so crazy. He went to
Jim Irsay, the late Jim Irsay, and got Jim Morris
Senior fired because ESPN kept playing it over and over
and over again.
Speaker 14 (20:33):
Next, Okay, MJ, I don't like the way you're talking
about Mahawks, brother, but not forget second youngest team in
the NFL. Sam Darnold fresh first NFL team this year.
I love how you're doubting us. Keep the doubt coming, MJ,
because we're gonna keep bringing it. This is a different
defense that the Rams played last month. So get ready
(20:54):
because here comes to mother boom.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I've been banging the drum on the Hawks all season long,
and I just yesterday, like I said, I had a
really bad feeling when you got to rely on your
field goal kicker to hit six six field goal. It's
just it's not a recipe, a long term recipe for success.
Speaker 17 (21:17):
Hey, good morning, MJ and CK. But we've seen it
a bunch of times now. Either Clinton Kobiak sucks at
scripting plays or Sam Darnold sucks at running scripted plays.
Because I don't think the Seahawks have scored an opening
Dravet touchdown the whole year. It feels like, so maybe
hurry up the offense, go no huddle, do more of that.
(21:40):
I mean, don't abandon the run completely, but maybe.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Ah thirty second thing probably got cut off, all right,
last one hot take Monday, and here it is.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Jason Myers is the Ghosts, He's the.
Speaker 12 (21:55):
Lebron James of kickers.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
He had six field goals.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Full the win.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Mark, How dare you say we don't deserve this man.
This city deserves Jason Miller.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's pretty good to use the lebron thing at the
the WWE style presentation they had with the heat. That
was pretty good. No, I'm just saying we're not worthy
of Jason Myers, but we definitely it's great that he's
He's one of the best field goal kickers in the league.
Speaker 18 (22:34):
Once again, I want to tell Seattle fans, relax. The
Seahawks were overlooking the Colts. They were looking forward to
the Rams. I bet the house the Seahawks played their
best game on Thursday night. Beat the Rams twenty four
twenty one. Bookt Seahawks are gonna win Super Bowl. Here
we come, number one seed, Go Hawks, you go.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
All right, Seahawks will beat the Rams twenty four to
twenty one and last one. Wanton Rivers throw passes yesterday.
Speaker 19 (23:07):
I haven't seen that many ducks since I've took the
dog and the John Boat out on the lake.
Speaker 13 (23:11):
We should have picked him off five times. There should
be blood and ben Gey splattered all over that field.
Speaker 19 (23:16):
Form me yesterday.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
What a joke. I would love to give it to
that guy. I would love because he's so right. Kid,
I'm not gonna take a guy. I mean, when you know,
you know, and I want to let everybody know. Patrick
and Everett, James Tacoma, Joelan Rhtt and Robert Is Aquas,
Stephen La Stevens, Alex and Tacoma, Jason, Everett, Tim and Lacy,
(23:38):

techs were all really good. But the winner of today's
bores Head Platter of Sandwiches is Jerry Barry. That is

the Rams on Thursday night. I hate to say this,
and if you got kids, in the car, cover their ears,
cancel Christmas.
Speaker 16 (25:48):
I'm not going to take it. No, I just can't
take it. I just need a platter a bore. I'm
not going to take it. Oh, it just can't take it.
Crack in and the Seahawks they can't score. I'm not
going to take it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All right again. Thanks to everybody who participated on Hot
Take Monday, and congratulations to Jerry Berry for winning the
platter of boards hid Sandwiches. Ian for Netz coming up
next live from the Crack in the Community ice Plex. Mayor.
Was that a tough game to watch yesterday for the
Hawks for you?
Speaker 20 (26:29):
Yes, yes, I I don't want you to spoil what
you're gonna do in the magic you create between one
and three.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
But Ian, this isn't an opinion, but that team was
definitely looking ahead at Thursday night.
Speaker 19 (26:45):
Oh but you know what was also very predictable, because I'll,
if we're being honest, I think even though they were
playing a far better opponent.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
So were the Rams.
Speaker 19 (26:59):
Right Like the Rams were looking ahead, I mean they
were struggling. They you know, they scored twenty four points
in the second half. They were down to the Lions
for a chunk of that game, right, So I think
two teams were looking ahead to that to Thursday.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I think so too. And that's why after I
went to postgame press conference yesterday and I that was
the question I asked Mike McDonald, I just said, you know,
it's just seemed like the team came out lethargic was
just a look ahead. And I don't think for him
and Clint Kubiak and Aiden Dirtey and and John Benton
it was. But clearly, you know, I think we would
have seen a better version of the Hawks if Daniel
(27:34):
Jones was healthy.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 19 (27:36):
I think Listen, we some I think we tend to
forget in our business and fans and everything else, we're.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Dealing with human beings. Yeah, like, and it's.
Speaker 19 (27:48):
Just human nature, right that you're gonna there's times when
you are going to relax at whatever you do in life,
and there's times that you're not gonna be as amped up.
It's just the way it is. That's the way it goes.
And you know, I mean, and I think that's what
happened yesterday. Listen, the defense was good enough, you know,
(28:09):
I mean, Philip Rivers, I mean that it's so funny,
like the narratives, right, and I'll talk about this Hughes
coming on it, you know for hardcore football today. You
know the whole storyline of Philip Rivers and what he did.
I got to ask you. I mean I I had
to look back this morning at the numbers. I mean
he was eighteen to twenty seven, one hundred and twenty
yards a touchdown, interception, seventy three passer rating like like okay, right, yeah,
(28:34):
Like he didn't he didn't have a turnover till the end, obviously,
but and he probably did what they wanted him to do,
and that was just keep them in the game, don't
lose the game, like you know the kid did.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
The week before with a man or two weeks before Minnesota.
Speaker 19 (28:48):
But I don't know, I mean I don't They should
never have had that game in doubt.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
And the reason it was is the offense just was
a no show.
Speaker 13 (28:56):
No show.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
H I'm ian like it's two point three yards per carry,
I mean on the ground, what are we doing here?
Speaker 19 (29:04):
I think was it you and I talking last week
or I know I had this discussion with lund on
last Tuesday. You know, the power rankings come out Everyone
has their power rankings, pff NFL, dot Com, ESPN, Yahoo,
blah blah blah, cbe. Everyone has power rankings. The Seattle's
in the you know, one, two, three range. I think
they were number two and in a couple of them last week.
And I think this is a really good Seahawk team
(29:27):
defensively and special teams wise. I don't are they a
super Bowl team with that offense, especially that offensive line.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I mean, listen, Charles Davis when he came on last week,
I asked him, what's your trust in Sam Darnold winning
big playoff games in January? And I thought, Charles, But Charles,
I gotta admit he came with the red pen. He
said five on a scale of one to ten, with
ten being the most. He said five.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
Because of Sammers, because of the offensive line.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I just asked him in Sam and he said five,
and he you know, and probably yeah, obviously one has
to do with the other, There's no question about it.
But I just to not be able to do things
that everybody knows since the dawning of time. You have
to be able to do in the sport of football.
You have to be able to run the ball and
stop the run. Now, I'm not worried about the defense.
(30:13):
The defense can stop the run, but you gotta be
able to run that ball. And so how much ian
do you put this on kick Kenneth Walker and Sharpney
or do you put on the old line? Do you
think it's a combination of both?
Speaker 19 (30:29):
All I think the I think all things start with
the offensive line, good and bad. In an NFL offense
or in any football offense. I think doesn't matter what
level football you're playing, it's it starts and ends with
the offensive line. If your offensive line is good and solid,
then you're gonna have success. I mean, Sean Alexander won
an MVP here in the two thousand and five season,
(30:49):
and Sean was great that year. And Seawan Alexander's one
of those running backs that probably never got his just
due for how really truly special he was. But he
doesn't win that without, you know, two Hall of famers
on the left side, a Pro Bowl center in the middle,
and two really good players it probably were Pro Bowl
caliber and Locklear and Gray on the other side. He
(31:12):
doesn't win that without those guys. And that offensive line
was incredible, right, So like it has to start there. Now, Look,
part of the offense. Yesterday, Brady Russell drops, I mean,
just an egregious drop by him, Like Donald couldn't have
thrown it any It's right there, You're gonna perfect play call,
perfect execution, catch the ball, get up field fifteen to
(31:33):
twenty yards, whatever it's gonna be.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
He drops that JSN.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yes, I knew you're gonna say that.
Speaker 19 (31:39):
And I was another egregious drop out again, I had.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
A greg he ended up you know, toning. He ended
up a toning.
Speaker 19 (31:45):
Absolutely, and and I think he gets a pass. But
let's let's add those two plays.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
To the mix.
Speaker 19 (31:51):
And maybe they're in the end zone a couple of
times too. You never know, right, So so there were
some plays there that weren't offensive line based or Sam
Donald based either or. And that was a we talked
about last week. You know, I mean that that's not
a bad defense that they played, No I get you know,
in Indianapolis either, and they were geared up and ready
to go and probably playing not probably they were playing
(32:14):
with more desperation than Seattle, and they came in and
lost three straight games. Their playoff lives are clinging to
a you know, to a thread right now, and they
probably they just played a little bit with a little
bit more desperation than Seattle did. And here's a thing.
This is a great thing about the NFL as opposed
to college football. No one's looking at that game and saying, well,
(32:34):
you know what, let's drop Seattle down.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
There's no right, there's.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
No subjective, there's no committee.
Speaker 19 (32:44):
There's no there's no committee going well, I don't know, man, Seattle's.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
We're gonna drop them down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We're gonna drop them, but we're gonna put them below Oklahoma.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
They the weird thing about the NFL.
Speaker 19 (32:55):
The athletic has this really cool thing that that that
was linked today and I went and fought. It's the
NFL playoff picture. And they run all the numbers and
all the possible scenarios, right, yeah, and Seattle is ninety
nine percent chance to make the playoffs. Yes, now they're
all but clinch. And and here's the thing. You can
run simulations. So I ran a simulation if they lose
(33:16):
to the Rams, lose to the Panthers, and lose to
the forty nine ers, you know what, they are ninety
five percent?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 9 (33:23):
Yeah, because so they can lose out and they're.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Still is thank you because I was telling Purple sheats
like you know, I was telling them, like you know,
Rich they're in. He's like, oh yeah, they used to
got three. I go, I know they had the toughest
remaining schedule of any team in the NFL. I get
that they're in. They were ninety eight percent before yesterday's game.
They're ninety nine percent after yesterday's game. And like you said,
and I didn't even know that, Ian, thank you for
(33:45):
telling me.
Speaker 19 (33:45):
They're sittinarios. They can freak and lose to the Rams
and still clinch this weekend. But here's the here's way.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
I know what you're saying. You want to have home field.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ian, there's a fine line between getting
a bye and then going on the first round at
Tampa as the five. So finally, what do you got
coming up today?
Speaker 19 (34:06):
Let's go join us coming up right off the top
of the show, Hu Mailing at one o'clock today. We'll
keep you for about forty five minutes, and then Brandon
mont tour is gonna sit down with us here at
the CACI cracking defenseman Mike Sando at two o'clock. I
think we're gonna check in with Jason Bottroll the GM
for the kracking. Wow, you're gonna get Jason Bottrell onto.
(34:27):
Two gms faced off last night, Buffalo and Seattle. One
of them got fired. It wasn't bots, it was a
team that one. They fired their GM there. So yes,
we had busy show coming up today.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
All right, can't wait to hear it. Stay tuned next
for the mayor coming up next one to three. We'll
see tomorrow and the Great Hugh Millan will be on

Two O six two eight six ninety five ninety five
Go to Patrick and Everett. What's up Patrick?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Hey, how's it going good?
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (00:56):
I was at the game yesterday with the family and
was a bit of a snoother and had to drink
a few cold ones just to kind of get through.
But man, do I don't really remember much from it,
but just a lot of kicking, Yeah, a little disappointing,
just to see our offense just be so anemic and
just not really.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Get much done.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Seemed like every time we got the ball back where.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Weren't able to get like more than tough first.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Down if that.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, so a little disappointing little where he coming into
the Rams game Thursday, But you know, I was just
expecting it to be a little more dominating performance against
sold Man Rivers.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And he and he did such a good the Seahawks
made him look good enough to where he's starting next
Monday night against the San Francisco forty nine ers on
Monday on Football.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, and I hope, you know he's able to show
his show, show the Niners what he kind of did
with us and just kind of keep their defense thinking
and the not able to get a bunch of sacks
and you know, take it to the Niners. But yeah,
a little a little sat on our part just seeing
our defense not also just put him down.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, they just like and like I said, I think
they were prepared, but they clearly just were looking ahead
to Thursday night. I mean you can tell. And and
my thing, Patrick, My thing Patrick, is that I think
that they would have been better off if Daniel Jones
was healthy. I think they would have they would would
have gotten the better Seahawks team.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
Yeah, just had a.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Little more film to study against you. Now, but we
knew that, we knew the run was coming, and we
just their run game looked so much better than our
end game. And that was, you know, probably the most
disappointing out of the whole game itself, is just like, no,
we know what's coming, and we used couldn't get what
did we get like seventeen or twenty yards? Or I
think I was hearing something earlier about just how little production.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
We got walk had. Yeah, it was bad. I appreciate
the phone call. Let's go to James and Tacoma. Who's
up next? What's up James?
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:05):
So with no Cowboys and Cowboys and Chiefs in the
playoffs six year, that's so un American that Roger Goodels
would make a chase next year. He's gonna have a
committee of a dozen people that are gonna side which
fourteen teeths make the NFL playoffs next year. Committee will
do that because we can't have this no chief, no Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And maybe no Baltimore Ravens either.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Right, that's yep, all right.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Let's go to uh Joel who's up next in Renton?
Speaker 9 (03:38):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Joel? My guy?
Speaker 10 (03:40):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
What's up? Man?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Nothing?
Speaker 10 (03:43):
Man Hey. I just had to call out some of
these Seattle sports fans. Man, I lived in Seattle my
whole life, and the hypocrisy and the front running of
every time the seahawksy something good, like the caller last week. Oh,
this front seven is better than the Legion the Boom,
better than Brandon Neva, and better than Cliff Fabril, better
than Bobby Wagner, better than all these guys that won
(04:06):
a Super Bowl. And who did they play? They didn't
play anybody. They have not played anybody this year. And
then they blamed Sam Darnold. Oh, if he didn't throw
four picks, we would have scored forty five points on
the Rams and we would have won. Well, he didn't
throw any picks yesterday and we scored eighteen. So we
gotta stop living in the now and take it game
by game. Because I agree with you. I think they
(04:27):
completely looked ahead, which happens in sports every single week.
But comparing them when we beat these high school level
teams from that quarterback of the Vikings that probably is
delivering pizza as we speak and we're comparing them to them.
Can we're an all world defense? Wait till we play
and beat somebody before you start crowning people an elite team.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
That's it, all right, Joe, appreciate the phone call. I
will say this though, they did beat the ten and
four Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, and they beat the
nine to five Houston Texans, and they handled them, even
though there was some sloppy play Sam Darnold turned the
ball over. They did handle those teams. But in the
NFC they have beaten zero teams who could go to
(05:14):
the playoffs. That can all change Thursday night. But they
lost to the Bucks playoff team, they lost to the
forty nine ers to start the season playoff team, and
they lost to the Rams playoff team. They've beaten no
teams in the NFC that are currently in the playoffs
if they started today. Two oh six, two eight six,
ninety five ninety five. Roberts up next in Issaquah. What's up, Robert.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Mark James, thanks for taking my call. Earlier in the segment,
Christopher Kidd was talking about the Seahawks making the playoffs
and then being eliminated in the second round. I totally
agree with that, and I'm gonna emphasize this really clearly
problem with the Seahawks running game. Anthony Brawford position he
(05:59):
played is critical for gap tackling, you know, just getting
that hole for the running back to have a chance
to make his move. Watch some of those replays Mark
James about the offensive line.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
You will see it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
The man is incapable of doing anything. And that's why
our run game sucks. Pass blocking is much easier for
an offensive lineman than run blocking. He is uncapable of
doing it. I went on TikTok a dude spent a
whole half hour explaining all the bad blocking Anthony Bradford's
(06:38):
done through this season. That is why we have no
running game. We need to build an offensive line. Did
you watch that Sunday night game?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I did well. Sunday night game. In the last night
I watched Vikings Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay, well they had the Chargers on on for the
end game.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, no, no, no, last night was last night was
Vikings Cowboys. It wasn't Chargers.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Okay. Let's to repeat my point is that he builds
an offensive line, and look at where the Chargers are.
They're going in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yep, yep, we have no.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Offensive line to push us through the you know, going
deep in the playoffs. Thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
By the way, I like that phone call, Robert Issaquah.
That's got to be the leader in the clubhouse so far.
You're not wrong. Whatever reason, for a decade straight they
can't get this ole line right here. I don't know why.
Two o six two eight six ninety five. Steve in
Lake Stevens is up next? What's up, Steve.
Speaker 11 (07:46):
Andrew? You're the man? I hope, I hope Over at
the vMac today, they're planning for Thursday. Okay, from top
to bottom, there is not a lot of difference from
best to worst, whether you're talking about him player or
a team. There's no selection committee in the NFL. I'll
take a win, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Next, all right, a win is a win.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm sure they are. I'm sure they are. I think
they were prepping for the Rams game last week too.
More so than then. At least, the player's mindset was
clearly on Thursday night versus the Rams, than Sunday versus
a forty four year old grandfather. Just being honest, let's
just be real. I mean it was a clear look
(08:34):
ahead game. Now, kid, if we'll get to that coming up.
I asked Mike McDonald that question yesterday and he's like, no,
you know, they're a good team. I mean they were
a good they were a really good team with Daniel Jones,
with Philip Rivers. I don't know, made them look better
(08:55):
than they were. Alex is up next in Tacoma on
a hot take Monday. Hey Alex, Hey.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Mjay, love your showy kid. Yeah, you know, a win
in the NFL is a win, but it's it's you know,
just going back to some of your other listeners, Uh,
the running game that we have is it's just it's
appalling and it's so frustrating. Uh you know Kenny Walker,
Uh when he had five carries for six yards, I
(09:23):
mean that's ridiculous. And and and again here I'm going
to be the backseat offensive coordinator at least if you're
going to run the ball, which our running game every
we all know sucks. Our offensive line we've got issues.
But why are you running it up the middle every
(09:44):
stingle time? Take it around the outside, let the running
back maybe break a tackle here or there, But going
up the middle, especially when it's a crucial down. We
know everybody in the freaking world.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Who's watching the game.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
No, it's gonna be a one.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
To two yard game. Yep, every single time.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
You're so right. Hey, hey, by the way, you are
on a roll right now. You're one of the best
callers we've had. Uh Alex, let me just say this.
Did you see did you see any of the Sunday
night game between Vikings in Dallas last night?
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, because I was no.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
I I watched a little bit. I watched a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, did you see did you see when the entire line,
and this is the mastery of Kevin O'Connell. The entire
line was all towards the far side of the field.
He calls a naked boot lake and and JJ McCarthy
could have crawled in the end zone. Crawled in the
end zone.
Speaker 10 (10:45):
He was tiptoe.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
He was right, he was balelaying into the freaking and.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
He was laughing at him. He was laughing at yeah.
Well everybody, yeah, every And it's not just click kubiak.
Speaker 12 (10:58):
Everybody go with the predictable call, run up the middle,
and the entire defense is and unless you've got Marshawn
Lynch or Adriane Peterson or Derrick Henry in their primes.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You're not gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You're not gonna you know, I was surprised they didn't
kick me out of the Ammal Queen. I was so
f and pissed yesterday because everybody knows what's gonna happen.
And you know what, the Seahawks are a great team.
We've got a great record. You're right, we haven't.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
You know.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
It was nice to beat Houston and Jacksonville. We've got
a big game coming up against San Francisco and the Rams.
We should have won the two games that we played
against them, but god, dang it, guys. I mean, you know,
put the blame on whoever you want, but these running
plays up the middle, it's just it's a frickin dagger
(11:47):
every single time you watch it.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
All right, I appreciate the phone call Alex again, the
old line. It's just something when you think it's fixed
and you're like, nope, same no line, same no line,
two six two eight six ninety five. Jason is up
next in Everett. A lot of phone calls today, love it.
What's up? Jason?
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Hey man? I appreciate you taking my call. My hot
take for the day is is, people, I was at
the game yesterday last night. People need to stop leaving
the game early. It gets to be the last minute
of the game, the Colts kick that field goal, and
I'm at the front of the three hundred level and
people are funneling out of that stadium. And then sure
(12:30):
enough we get the ball back and we start moving
it after that big kickoff return from machine, and then
everyone's standing right in the walkway and the ushers are
having a fit because now they want to try to
move everyone out of there, because everyone's trying to leave
the stadium, but now they see the game still going.
People should stay. You bought your ticket, stay for the
whole game. It was last minute to go, no reason
(12:53):
to leave.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I couldn't agree with you more and you better not leave.
And here's the thing about it too. At that point, Jason,
at that point, you're not gonna get You're not gonna
beat traffic. Nobody's beating it at that point anyway, right,
you got under a minute ago night anywhere. No, no,
(13:15):
I mean, man, you ain't beaten anything at that point.
So fans should stop leaving early. Jason and Everett. I
couldn't agree with you. I didn't see what you did.
But I mean, I thought the crowd was great yesterday.
I thought the Twelves bought it. If the players showed
up the way the Twelves did yesterday, then the Hawks
(13:35):
would have won by twenty six points. But they didn't
show up. They didn't take them seriously. Obviously, they took
them very lightly. It was a clear look ahead. You
don't have to admit anything. We saw what we saw
and they definitely did not take the cult seriously with
a forty four year old grandfather. So it is what
(13:55):
it is. Tim's up next in Lacey. What's up? Tim?
Speaker 10 (14:00):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (14:01):
MJ.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
Chris, thanks for having me on Hot Take Monday is
a heart pivot considering its football season, But I just
want to throw it out there. The UDUB men's basketball
team is worth watching and they could be trouble come March.
We got Steinbach, he's there, could be a first rounder
at guard, and kept Nag in the center. They're good man,
(14:24):
Thanks for taking the call.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
U W men's basketball team, yep, and they're they're already
in conference. I mean they're playing USC and UCLA. They're
already they jump right in a conference early there in
the Big ten. Jeff in Seattle, you're up next two
O six two eight six five. What's up?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Jeff?
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Hey, what's up? I'm going to piggyback on folks going
after the run games and talking about that. But I
don't know. The offensive line terrible, terrible in blocking. But
I keep he hearing Kenneth Walker is the guy, and
everyone raves and raves about him.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
But you want to hot take? I want to see more?
Is Zach Charbonay.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
You look at Kenneth Walker's stats last season, he had
five hundred and seventy three yards and averaged three point
seven yards seven touchdowns. Zach Sharbona is already at that
this season five hundred and fourteen yards, averages three point
seven and eight tds. So why why are we insistent
that Kenneth Walker three is the guy?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, they've been doing this back and forth. Let me
ask you this, though, how much do you think is
is that and the fact that they're not getting the
push off the line to create holes enough to get
running game. Because yesterday they had fifty yards total rushing
fifty they averaged two point three yards per carry yesterday,
I mean, what is it they were going up against
(15:52):
the eighty five Bears, or the twenty fifteen Broncos, or
the two Bucks or the twenty thirteen Seahawks. For that,
they weren't going up against those teams. You averaged two
point three yards per carry.
Speaker 13 (16:05):
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
You're absolutely right. The run game is abysmal this season. Uh.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
And that the previous caller that you had that talked
about us and never running it to the outside. I
watched it happen multiple times yesterday and we still did
nothing out there. So I don't know if it's just
the not running it up in the middle that's the problem.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah, this zone, this outside zone blocking
scheme hasn't exactly Uh you know, it hasn't given great
results to the ROI on that, Jeff, thanks for the call,
Mike and Cali. Uh, if you are in Cali, I
want to hear your call. But you know you can't
win the board, said Platter, because we don't have QFC
(16:44):
that we can give it in Cali. But go ahead anyway, Mike,
thanks them, Jay, I appreciate it.
Speaker 15 (16:50):
This one thing I want to piggyback on you've talked
about is received to heat and his punt fair catches
seemed to always put us in a in a bad spot.
Is that because our offensive line or is it because
he doesn't want to get hit? That's the first thing
I'd like your opinion on you. Secondly, what happened to
(17:11):
this two BAC system we're talking about early on in
the season. Where's Robbie heard he was inactive yesterday? I
think that would really help our running game.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's why I got him.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Jacob all right, schell, all right, thanks man. I you
know what for me, I it all comes down to
the running game, right, I mean, at the end of
the day, you've got it comes down to that running
game establishing, you know, just you have to impose your
will on the other teams d line. And they couldn't
(17:44):
do that yesterday. They haven't done that a lot of
times this season, and no matter how many times we
talk about it, I don't so I know a lot
of people and yeah, Kenny Walker, you know yesterday, I
mean he had seventeen yards and Zach Charbonne he had
thirty one. I mean neither one of them were gangbusters.
But I mean, how much is it on them, and
(18:07):
how much is it on the O line who can't
do their job. I thought Rashid Shihed played well yesterday.
I mean he had five catches for seventy four yards
and I thought he played pretty good from that standpoint.
But the stupid plays on special teams really put this
team back. They got in a horrible field position early
(18:28):
in the game, and that basically put them in and
where their backs were up against their own goal line,
and then they were three and out or they couldn't
get anywhere. They give the ball back. Colt Scott great
field position and it gave him ten points. Ten points.
All right, we hit the voice text let's just hear those. Well,
(18:50):
no more phone calls, and let's hear what the voice
texts have to say.
Speaker 16 (18:53):
I got to hit the road. So here I go.
I'm not going to take it. No, I can't take it.
I just need a platter a boar. I'm not going
to take it. No, it just can't take it. Cracking
and the Seahawks they can't score. I'm not going to
(19:15):
take it. No, I just can't take it. I just
need a platter a ball. Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Oh, by the way, daddy's the leader in the clubhouse. Wow,
very good. And he got the boars Head sponsor in
oh Man, do we have his info? Okay, good, that's good.
You're the leader in the clubhouse, whoever you are. Next,
we didn't do Diadley who on offense. We can't run
(19:43):
the ball.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
We couldn't throw the ball.
Speaker 13 (19:45):
Ken Walker's only getting two yards about a cory yard
of carry.
Speaker 9 (19:51):
We stuck.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
Okay, we stuck.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Playoffs.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
Playoffs.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
This team playoffs, probably surprisedly the Rams.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's pretty good too. That's really good. He did the
Jim Morris Senior impression. Playoffs. It's about playoffs. I just
hope we can win a game. Do you know that
ESPN played that so many times? It drove Peyton Manning crazy.
It was his first or second it was his second
year in Indy and it drove him so or third
(20:21):
year and it drove him so crazy. He went to
Jim Irsay, the late Jim Irsay, and got Jim Morris
Senior fired because ESPN kept playing it over and over
and over again.
Speaker 14 (20:33):
Next, Okay, MJ, I don't like the way you're talking
about Mahawks, brother, but not forget second youngest team in
the NFL. Sam Darnold fresh first NFL team this year.
I love how you're doubting us. Keep the doubt coming, MJ,
because we're gonna keep bringing it. This is a different
defense that the Rams played last month. So get ready
(20:54):
because here comes to mother boom.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I've been banging the drum on the Hawks all season long,
and I just yesterday, like I said, I had a
really bad feeling when you got to rely on your
field goal kicker to hit six six field goal. It's
just it's not a recipe, a long term recipe for success.
Speaker 17 (21:17):
Hey, good morning, MJ and CK. But we've seen it
a bunch of times now. Either Clinton Kobiak sucks at
scripting plays or Sam Darnold sucks at running scripted plays.
Because I don't think the Seahawks have scored an opening
Dravet touchdown the whole year. It feels like, so maybe
hurry up the offense, go no huddle, do more of that.
(21:40):
I mean, don't abandon the run completely, but maybe.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Ah thirty second thing probably got cut off, all right,
last one hot take Monday, and here it is.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Jason Myers is the Ghosts, He's the.
Speaker 12 (21:55):
Lebron James of kickers.
Speaker 14 (22:04):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
He had six field goals.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Full the win.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Mark, How dare you say we don't deserve this man.
This city deserves Jason Miller.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's pretty good to use the lebron thing at the
the WWE style presentation they had with the heat. That
was pretty good. No, I'm just saying we're not worthy
of Jason Myers, but we definitely it's great that he's
He's one of the best field goal kickers in the league.
Speaker 18 (22:34):
Once again, I want to tell Seattle fans, relax. The
Seahawks were overlooking the Colts. They were looking forward to
the Rams. I bet the house the Seahawks played their
best game on Thursday night. Beat the Rams twenty four
twenty one. Bookt Seahawks are gonna win Super Bowl. Here
we come, number one seed, Go Hawks, you go.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
All right, Seahawks will beat the Rams twenty four to
twenty one and last one. Wanton Rivers throw passes yesterday.
Speaker 19 (23:07):
I haven't seen that many ducks since I've took the
dog and the John Boat out on the lake.
Speaker 13 (23:11):
We should have picked him off five times. There should
be blood and ben Gey splattered all over that field.
Speaker 19 (23:16):
Form me yesterday.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
What a joke. I would love to give it to
that guy. I would love because he's so right. Kid,
I'm not gonna take a guy. I mean, when you know,
you know, and I want to let everybody know. Patrick
and Everett, James Tacoma, Joelan Rhtt and Robert Is Aquas,
Stephen La Stevens, Alex and Tacoma, Jason, Everett, Tim and Lacy,
(23:38):
Jeff and Seattle, mic and Kelli and all the voice
techs were all really good. But the winner of today's
bores Head Platter of Sandwiches is Jerry Barry. That is
his name. Jerry. You were original. You can in corporated
(24:00):
the sponsor's name and it was funny and it was
a reverend. I liked it. Congratulations Jerry Barry. Do we
know where he's from?
Speaker 3 (24:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Okay, Jerry Barry, you are the winner of the bores
Head Platter of Sandwiches. One programming note, there will be
no hot Take Monday next Monday because the Seahawks don't
play on Sunday. However, Kid and I will do a
hot take Monday version on Friday at noon. Sophie didn't

win today. To all the great callers, and voice techs.
We're gonna do one Friday at noon because it's the
day after the Seahawks Rams game. Okay, there won't be
any next Monday. Plus next Monday. It's a one hour show.
It's uh wow, good call, kid. No, I think we're
(24:55):
not gonna do een Richie on Friday. That's an interesting one.
Maybe we'll do them at eleven. I don't know, we'll
come up with something, but I'm gonna give you your
chance to win a platter of board said sandwiches again
on Friday because we won't be able to do it
next Monday. Next Monday is gonna be me and the
great Ashley Ryan. We're gonna give kid a rest. Kid
is gonna be tuning in to the Idaho Potato Bowl
(25:16):
to see his amba, the Washington State Cougars. And you
can listen to that game right here on your home
for college football Westwood one Sports Radio ninety three to
three KJRFM. Thank you very much, everybody, listen again. We
will do hot Take Monday on Friday after the Hawks
Rams game, hopefully a Hawks win, because they don't beat
(25:38):
the Rams on Thursday night. I hate to say this,
and if you got kids, in the car, cover their ears,
cancel Christmas.
Speaker 16 (25:48):
I'm not going to take it. No, I just can't
take it. I just need a platter a bore. I'm
not going to take it. Oh, it just can't take it.
Crack in and the Seahawks they can't score. I'm not
going to take it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All right again. Thanks to everybody who participated on Hot
Take Monday, and congratulations to Jerry Berry for winning the
platter of boards hid Sandwiches. Ian for Netz coming up
next live from the Crack in the Community ice Plex. Mayor.
Was that a tough game to watch yesterday for the
Hawks for you?
Speaker 20 (26:29):
Yes, yes, I I don't want you to spoil what
you're gonna do in the magic you create between one
and three.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
But Ian, this isn't an opinion, but that team was
definitely looking ahead at Thursday night.
Speaker 19 (26:45):
Oh but you know what was also very predictable, because I'll,
if we're being honest, I think even though they were
playing a far better opponent.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
So were the Rams.
Speaker 19 (26:59):
Right Like the Rams were looking ahead, I mean they
were struggling. They you know, they scored twenty four points
in the second half. They were down to the Lions
for a chunk of that game, right, So I think
two teams were looking ahead to that to Thursday.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I think so too. And that's why after I
went to postgame press conference yesterday and I that was
the question I asked Mike McDonald, I just said, you know,
it's just seemed like the team came out lethargic was
just a look ahead. And I don't think for him
and Clint Kubiak and Aiden Dirtey and and John Benton
it was. But clearly, you know, I think we would
have seen a better version of the Hawks if Daniel
(27:34):
Jones was healthy.
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, no, I agree.
Speaker 19 (27:36):
I think Listen, we some I think we tend to
forget in our business and fans and everything else, we're.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Dealing with human beings. Yeah, like, and it's.
Speaker 19 (27:48):
Just human nature, right that you're gonna there's times when
you are going to relax at whatever you do in life,
and there's times that you're not gonna be as amped up.
It's just the way it is. That's the way it goes.
And you know, I mean, and I think that's what
happened yesterday. Listen, the defense was good enough, you know,
(28:09):
I mean, Philip Rivers, I mean that it's so funny,
like the narratives, right, and I'll talk about this Hughes
coming on it, you know for hardcore football today. You
know the whole storyline of Philip Rivers and what he did.
I got to ask you. I mean I I had
to look back this morning at the numbers. I mean
he was eighteen to twenty seven, one hundred and twenty
yards a touchdown, interception, seventy three passer rating like like okay, right, yeah,
(28:34):
Like he didn't he didn't have a turnover till the end, obviously,
but and he probably did what they wanted him to do,
and that was just keep them in the game, don't
lose the game, like you know the kid did.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
The week before with a man or two weeks before Minnesota.
Speaker 19 (28:48):
But I don't know, I mean I don't They should
never have had that game in doubt.
Speaker 9 (28:53):
And the reason it was is the offense just was
a no show.
Speaker 13 (28:56):
No show.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
H I'm ian like it's two point three yards per carry,
I mean on the ground, what are we doing here?
Speaker 19 (29:04):
I think was it you and I talking last week
or I know I had this discussion with lund on
last Tuesday. You know, the power rankings come out Everyone
has their power rankings, pff NFL, dot Com, ESPN, Yahoo,
blah blah blah, cbe. Everyone has power rankings. The Seattle's
in the you know, one, two, three range. I think
they were number two and in a couple of them last week.
And I think this is a really good Seahawk team
(29:27):
defensively and special teams wise. I don't are they a
super Bowl team with that offense, especially that offensive line.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I mean, listen, Charles Davis when he came on last week,
I asked him, what's your trust in Sam Darnold winning
big playoff games in January? And I thought, Charles, But Charles,
I gotta admit he came with the red pen. He
said five on a scale of one to ten, with
ten being the most. He said five.
Speaker 9 (29:51):
Because of Sammers, because of the offensive line.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I just asked him in Sam and he said five,
and he you know, and probably yeah, obviously one has
to do with the other, There's no question about it.
But I just to not be able to do things
that everybody knows since the dawning of time. You have
to be able to do in the sport of football.
You have to be able to run the ball and
stop the run. Now, I'm not worried about the defense.
(30:13):
The defense can stop the run, but you gotta be
able to run that ball. And so how much ian
do you put this on kick Kenneth Walker and Sharpney
or do you put on the old line? Do you
think it's a combination of both?
Speaker 19 (30:29):
All I think the I think all things start with
the offensive line, good and bad. In an NFL offense
or in any football offense. I think doesn't matter what
level football you're playing, it's it starts and ends with
the offensive line. If your offensive line is good and solid,
then you're gonna have success. I mean, Sean Alexander won
an MVP here in the two thousand and five season,
(30:49):
and Sean was great that year. And Seawan Alexander's one
of those running backs that probably never got his just
due for how really truly special he was. But he
doesn't win that without, you know, two Hall of famers
on the left side, a Pro Bowl center in the middle,
and two really good players it probably were Pro Bowl
caliber and Locklear and Gray on the other side. He
(31:12):
doesn't win that without those guys. And that offensive line
was incredible, right, So like it has to start there. Now, Look,
part of the offense. Yesterday, Brady Russell drops, I mean,
just an egregious drop by him, Like Donald couldn't have
thrown it any It's right there, You're gonna perfect play call,
perfect execution, catch the ball, get up field fifteen to
(31:33):
twenty yards, whatever it's gonna be.
Speaker 9 (31:35):
He drops that JSN.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yes, I knew you're gonna say that.
Speaker 19 (31:39):
And I was another egregious drop out again, I had.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
A greg he ended up you know, toning. He ended
up a toning.
Speaker 19 (31:45):
Absolutely, and and I think he gets a pass. But
let's let's add those two plays.
Speaker 9 (31:50):
To the mix.
Speaker 19 (31:51):
And maybe they're in the end zone a couple of
times too. You never know, right, So so there were
some plays there that weren't offensive line based or Sam
Donald based either or. And that was a we talked
about last week. You know, I mean that that's not
a bad defense that they played, No I get you know,
in Indianapolis either, and they were geared up and ready
to go and probably playing not probably they were playing
(32:14):
with more desperation than Seattle, and they came in and
lost three straight games. Their playoff lives are clinging to
a you know, to a thread right now, and they
probably they just played a little bit with a little
bit more desperation than Seattle did. And here's a thing.
This is a great thing about the NFL as opposed
to college football. No one's looking at that game and saying, well,
(32:34):
you know what, let's drop Seattle down.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
There's no right, there's.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
No subjective, there's no committee.
Speaker 19 (32:44):
There's no there's no committee going well, I don't know, man, Seattle's.
Speaker 9 (32:48):
We're gonna drop them down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
We're gonna drop them, but we're gonna put them below Oklahoma.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
They the weird thing about the NFL.
Speaker 19 (32:55):
The athletic has this really cool thing that that that
was linked today and I went and fought. It's the
NFL playoff picture. And they run all the numbers and
all the possible scenarios, right, yeah, and Seattle is ninety
nine percent chance to make the playoffs. Yes, now they're
all but clinch. And and here's the thing. You can
run simulations. So I ran a simulation if they lose
(33:16):
to the Rams, lose to the Panthers, and lose to
the forty nine ers, you know what, they are ninety
five percent?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 9 (33:23):
Yeah, because so they can lose out and they're.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Still is thank you because I was telling Purple sheats
like you know, I was telling them, like you know,
Rich they're in. He's like, oh yeah, they used to
got three. I go, I know they had the toughest
remaining schedule of any team in the NFL. I get
that they're in. They were ninety eight percent before yesterday's game.
They're ninety nine percent after yesterday's game. And like you said,
and I didn't even know that, Ian, thank you for
(33:45):
telling me.
Speaker 19 (33:45):
They're sittinarios. They can freak and lose to the Rams
and still clinch this weekend. But here's the here's way.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
I know what you're saying. You want to have home field.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ian, there's a fine line between getting
a bye and then going on the first round at
Tampa as the five. So finally, what do you got
coming up today?
Speaker 19 (34:06):
Let's go join us coming up right off the top
of the show, Hu Mailing at one o'clock today. We'll
keep you for about forty five minutes, and then Brandon
mont tour is gonna sit down with us here at
the CACI cracking defenseman Mike Sando at two o'clock. I
think we're gonna check in with Jason Bottroll the GM
for the kracking. Wow, you're gonna get Jason Bottrell onto.
(34:27):
Two gms faced off last night, Buffalo and Seattle. One
of them got fired. It wasn't bots, it was a
team that one. They fired their GM there. So yes,
we had busy show coming up today.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
All right, can't wait to hear it. Stay tuned next
for the mayor coming up next one to three. We'll
see tomorrow and the Great Hugh Millan will be on
with us tomorrow on Huesday, Tuesday right here on Sports
