only Captain Mike Benton right here in your home for
the Crack in ninety three point three KJRFM. P Carroll
officially announced as the Las Vegas Raiders new head coach yesterday.
It sounded all the pet Carrol that we were used
to here in Seattle, and his role will be a
(00:48):
little bit different in Vegas, he stated yesterday. All decisions
will be a collaboration rather than him having the final
say on all transactions and moves in his previous sit
with the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Which was fourteen years. It wasn't a stint.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Seahawk's defensive end Leonard Williams has been added to the
Pro Bowl roster Pro Bowl Games roster, that's what it
is now, in place of Phillies Jalen Carter.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
In my opinion, Leonard should have been there in the first.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Place, but anyway, he will make his second career Pro
Bowl trip. Bobby Wagner, also of the Washington Commanders, added
in place of Philly Zach Pond. That game does take
place this Sunday. The games takes place this Sunday, and

Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's what I was going for.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So anyway, joining us right now from Yahoo's Sports Jory Epstein. Jory,
thank you so much for joining us today. We always
appreciate your time. I know I love listening to you
when Greg and Chris have you on. How are you today?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I'm doing well, jest Mine, Chrisprah, how are you guys doing?
Happy to be here from Mobile, Alabama at the Sangerbowl.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh wow, that is going to be awesome. We're going
to have to get to the Senior Bowl. At the
end of this conversation, because I did want to start.
We've been talking a lot about Pete Carroll here. Everyone
still loves him, We're happy to see him succeed in
a new role. But what was the national perspective when
you found out that he was hired by the Las
Vegas Readers.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I was happy for me. When you look at Las Vegas,
a team that has had a lot of dysfunction, a
lot of coaches. I mean, they've got several coaches on
the head coaches on their payroll alone, and they need
a coach who can come in create the culture, stabilize
the franchise. I really feel a win or two they
shouldn't get in a division that now it's just stacked
with Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, Han Kayton, and Jim Harbon
(03:17):
in the same division, and I think Pete can do that.
I think that to me, there are teams that are
already good every year and trying to contend in their
teams that are really just seeing to stabilize before they
could get to that point, and I put the Raiders
in the latter category. So I mean, kudos to them
if they prove it's all wrong and go all the way.
But I think starting out just developing that culture that
Pete did in Seattle is going to be great.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Jeory, were you surprised that the Raiders did make this
move and go after Pete Carroll, Because if I'm not mistaken,
last week you were thinking they might go a different direction.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I think what's interesting to me is that there's all
this conversation about Ben Johnson to the Raiders, and I
say kudos to Ben Johnsons for not going there, because
I understand that by all accounts, Tom Brady, who is
a part owner of the Raiders, is pushing him. But
they don't have a quarterback, they don't have the stability
that some of these other teams have, and I don't
think any coach should make this decision. Please talk someone
who alongs five to camp percent of the franchise. So
(04:09):
I don't think that Pete Carroll was expected at that point,
but I do think we all knew that Pete wanted
to get back into it, and so when the Raiders,
who seem to think they had more of a chance
of Ben Jopson than they actually did, did not get them,
Pete was one of the better options available.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Jory Epstein of Yahoo Sports is joining us, and our
weekly visit with Jory is brought to you by Zeke's Pizza,
homegrown in the Northwest, order online or at Zekespizza dot com.
Jory a lot of speculation here, so I'm tossing you
kind of an open ended question because you can take it.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Where you will.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But a lot of people want to know what Pete
Carroll is going to do at quarterback. Obviously the number
one need for the Raiders when it comes to filling
a role on the field. But what do you think
is more likely Pete Carroll trading for Gino Smith or
signing Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Of those two, I would say Russell Wilson. But I
mean it's a great question for me. I think, if anything,
one of the winners here, if we were to do
a winners and losers of Pete Carroll getting hired is
Russell Wilson. Because now when he's negotiata with the Pittsburgh Steelers,
which I do believe books on conversations with him earlier
in the season and from his comments more recently that
he would like to stay in Pittsburgh, I think he
(05:15):
could say, like, hey, I could go somewhere else. But
if you're looking at Pittsburgh, it's concerning what they did
down the road. I mean, I think Russ played better
in the last couple of years than what most people
think he did. But to lose the last five like
they did. I mean that was more than just Russ
and he didn't have a receiver and all of that.
But I think that he will now have a type
of leverage and it'll be interesting because the Steelers also
(05:36):
have Justin Field's contract up, so I would not expect
them to bring back both. And did there come a
time where they say, you know what, let's build with
justin Let's get this bridge and send Russell or allow
Russell to go to Vegas.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Let's go to the NFC Championship game that featured the
Commanders and Eagles. Your Eagles should, I say, Jory and
tough loss for the Commanders. But how bright is there
a future of Jaden Daniels Just because he looked pretty good?
It doesn't help when your teammates fun with the football
three times, but overall I thought he played a solid game.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
How bright is the commander's future?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I like the thing on my egos, but I definitely
have been piled out for the last three weeks down
my runner of they know my order at the diners,
so might as well be my Eagles that said yes
on the commander's front, I really think that the Commanders
should have so much reason for help. I mean, I
was standing at their post game locker room outside of
it right after as all the players and coaches are
coming up, and the team ownership was saying, it wasn't
(06:34):
like that, oh we're all disappointed. It was we love
you guys. Tell this season. We're just getting started. And
receiver Terry McLaurin told the owners we'll be back. And
I think the reason that Kerry and that whole team
are believing this is begins with Jaden Daniels. He's not
the only one, and we can't have a team only
with the quarterback. But you need a good quarterback to
win in the NFL always and especially in the modern era.
(06:54):
And I just think that he's got this unplaitability. The
way he like leverages Booth the run in the past
is just all. He's a mass problem for the other team.
And was talking to someone who's known Jayden dating back
to before his time with the Commanders, and they'd shared
with me a screenshot of text that he had spent.
It was the day after they beat the Lions, so
they went into the number one nfcceed notes the rookie
(07:14):
he upsets them through five touchdowns, and the person asked Jayden,
how do you feel? And he goes, I, DKO, I
don't know, Elo, I feel the same, and I feel
like that is one of the superpower, so Danton would say,
and I imagine he used that term even when he
was in Seattle. He's always says, what is the player's superpower?
One of Jaden's is no moment. He's too big for him,
and that's huge.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Jorry Epstein of y'all who sports with us here brought
to you by Zeke's Pizza Justamin McIntyre in for Greg Bell. Jory,
I wanted to ask you just going off with that
where you know you mentioned Dan Quinn and you he's
not the only new piece here. Jadan Daniels obviously is
a home run in the draft as a rookie quarterback.
But you have the combined new ownership, new head coach
(07:57):
and a rookie quarterback. Have you ever seen and that
our effect this successful in your time covering the NFL?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I haven't, And I think it's so true. It's like
it's funny. I kept joking at the Football Jogs, We're like,
all right, you guys finally got rid of Dan Snyder
will give you a little bit of help. And I
believe this is a point of the exact back because
I wrote it in my story yesterday. But a team
got drafted in the top two where the Commanders did drop.
I think they were the first one to go to
(08:26):
the conference to maybe the second team ever to go
to the conference championship in the same year they drafted
top two. And Jason's wanted something like six quarterbacks to
ever make it that far, as there would be No
rookie quarterback have made it to the super Bowl. So
this isn't it just even about our own time covering
the NFL. This is about NFL history. Yeah, he's the
first rookie quarterback and oh yeah, yes, that was it.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, Yeah, it's absolutely amazing. And you know, I know
dan Quinn, Well, we go back. My father coach with
him way back in the day in New York, and
I just I love to see what he did, what
he's doing, and I always believed he could. What I like,
the best that he said about taking that job was
that he was perfectly content to stay the defensive.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Coordinator in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And this is an undertaking to go to Washington with
all of those moves you know, what was your reaction
to him taking that job in the first place and
thinking that that was a good fit for him.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Absolutely, and I'll just correct myself on it was a
fourth team in the common jaft there to pick top
two and make the conference championship game of the same heaven.
It's still very rare. I've related to dan Quinn yet
I worked with him in Dallas as they shared through
most of his time in Dallas, and I did a
story with him where he basically said he recaptured his
joy for coaching in Dallas. Like the end of his
Falcons Kenya really took a toll on him and he
(09:47):
didn't want to lead to the wrong opportunity. There were
a lot of teams from Carolina to Denver and others
who were interested in him, but he did feel like
Washington had what he needed. And I also, even though
I loved and was like, I don't know what's he
going to be set at first six? Is it a
front house where you just can't win? I hope it
all works out. I visited them last year during OPAS,
but I do think that there's just this revitalization of
(10:09):
a franchise that like, hey, we can finally focus on
football and not everything else. I team with the ownership,
and to vq's standpoint, you're to his credit, one of
the biggest things he learned after Atlantics. He did it.
He called this after action, and he reached out to
all of these players and coaches, including ones from Seattle
who he had worked with, and said, tell me what
I should do differently. I want to know what I
should do differently from a team standpoint, and I want
(10:31):
to know how I should lead differently. And one of
the biggest takeaways he has from that is he needed
to stop micromanaging and being involved in everything. Yes, you're
the head coach that you need to trust your guys
to do your job, which sounds cliche, but I say
that because yes, he is the top defenses I on Washington,
But he didn't have too much of an ego to
hire Cliftingsare to be the offensive coordinator and say, hey,
(10:51):
you're basically the head coach of the offense, and I'm
not going to interfere and I'm not going to be
looking around by that or looking behind my back worrying
that you're coming from night for my job. Hey, I'm
going to get former Chargers head coach Anthony went on
back in the day, I was visiting them. He asked Anthony,
because DQ had done a lot in his career, but
one of the one things he had not done was
develop a rookie quarterback. Because Lossal was there in Seattle,
(11:14):
Matt Ryan is there in Atlanta, and Dack was there
in Dallas. And so he told Anthony, Lynn, you drafted
justin Herbert. What did you? What worked and what's been
in developing him? Don't tell me now, but let's meet
tomorrow about it. Can he really just have this humility
of I'm not going to be in charge of everything.
I don't know everything, but I know a lot and
I'll make sure to avail myself of the resources to
make it work.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Let's go to the AFC, the chief just do it again.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
And unfortunately Josh Allen played a phenomenal game and he
didn't play a perfect game, or else they probably would
be in the Super Bowl. But does this loss to
Patrick Mahomes, do you think it affects his legacy moving forward?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Or is it just kind of the Jordan era?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
You know, you just happen to play against one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
It sucks, but as the re out of the situation.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Actually it's the Jordan are and you guys will correct
me as I'm around the less institutional knowledge than some,
but I mean even people like Nanny, there's so many
guys who have been some of the best quarterbacks in
this league. I and Aaron Rodgers have one super Bowl.
I no, Josh Allen does not have one yet. Who
just run into the same problem every time, and the
more in the Chiefs when the harder they are to beat.
I think when you look at this, it affects his
(12:23):
legacy in the sense that he didn't have the chance
to break through. The part of the legacy is he
is a quarterback who is fantastic. I think if there's
MVP consideration, and I think that he and he regularly
beats Patrick Mahomes in the regular season but not in
the playoffs. But I think when you look at it,
to me, that means he's just as great an MVP
level as he was before. But that team as a
(12:43):
whole has not come against Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs
and half successful. So I think that one of these
years is going to be coming but I think that
the Chiefs had a little extra motivation this year. Okay,
this isn't just another super Bowl. We could be the
first team ever to win three Super Bowls in a row.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Very up sign of Yahoo Sports with us. And yeah,
I don't think Andy Reid uses the word just ever.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It doesn't come across as a guy who looks at
anything as just.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But I love the tenor that he has.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
He We have coach holmgrind in studio all the time,
and they seem to have the same demeanor. I would say,
and you've probably spent well, you definitely have spent more
time around him than I have. How does he breed
so much consistent success there in kids a city?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I think part of it is that there are
coaches on the NFL Siborne could give their teams an advantage,
and Andy Reid is one of them. The way that
he's able to design plays, the way that he understands
the players, and I think there's a thematic element and
like also the emotional elements. I remember being at the
Super Bowl last year when Travis Kelsey had that moment
that went viral where he kind of like sort a
(13:50):
shoved our last share that andyre like what's going on?
And Travis talked afterwards. He said, look, I got to
this league. I did not know how to control my emotions.
I was not mature. And Andy's one of the people
like spread it with helping him get there. So he's
finally terfect as a coach, as a leader and all that.
But I do think he's got a schematic genius and
the quarterback who can carry out those genius ideas. On
(14:12):
top of the idea, he's really developing all of his players.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It's official, Matt ebra Fluffs has signed on as the
Cowboys defensive coordinator. Do you like that move for the
Cowboys moving forward? What are your thoughts on that move
for the Cowboys there?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
I do.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I thought the Cowboys would be like to hire a
former head coach at defensive coordinator if they could find
the right one, because Brian Schottenheimer is a first time
head coach, and Matt ebra polue Offer is not only
that head coaching experience, but he also was in Dallas
probably it was seven years already, and he's got some
of his staff who went with him to Chicago who
has been there, so he understands the culture. He understands
(14:50):
what it takes to get the job done in Dallas.
I think that even though from a head coaching standpoint,
he was in a little over his head in Chicago,
and some of that with him, some of that with
the franchise, I also think that that defense still overperformed
in most years. So I would still expect that Matt
eclos can elevate this defense. I mean, it's a team
with Mike deparsions. They need to resign him, but they've
(15:11):
got a lot of talent on that defense and I'm
excited to see what Mattkins came up to them.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Joy. Speaking of coordinators, we have a new one out here.
The Seahawks finally got their man in Clint Kubiak. Now
we don't know as much about him, obviously, We've talked
to a lot of people close to him. We talked
to Joe Woods, a defensive play caller for the Seattle
Saints yesterday. Gave us kind of the opposite side of
the field look at him. But how do you think
(15:38):
he fits? I mean, I'll go back to saying Ryan
Grubb clearly wasn't a click with Mike McDonald having fired
him after just one year. People have all various opinions
about that move, But what do you think it was
about Clint Kubiak that he saw a match in. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think what's interesting to me is that I tested
someone close to the Raiders last year and night they
donald was hired, and they said, actually, before is when
you guys were interviewing him, and they said, he's like
the Shanahan McVay of the defense in terms of the
way he sees the game. And it would be a
huge pace for Mike McDonald and the way he's understands defenses.
But on the flip side of that, he is now
bringing in a coach who understands that Shanahan system, who
(16:18):
was in San Francisco for a lot of years. I
understand that he hasn't had the most statistical success in
Minnesota and New Orleans, but I think when you get
the other ideas, you have a different cast of players.
I mean, you can look at what Kellen Moore is
doing with the Eagles right now. He came from the
Chargers last year and clearly the Eagles saw that fing
him to hire him, even though his charters numbers were
(16:38):
not off the charts, And so I think that I
believe that this league evolves, and you want the coaches
who can keep up with that evolution, and that's what
they see and cling to be at.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's absolutely a great that's better insight than so far.
I like it, and I think that people are excited
here clearly, especially because Mike McDonald had some very specific
he was looking for and he wasn't going to settle
for anything but that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So Clint Koubiak, we will.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
See how he goes here in Seattle once things get
going in the spring, once players come back, We'll see
how he takes to it, and also how much involvement.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
He has in getting us an offensive line. Uh we
would we really need that out here, Jory.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Which I will say, I really wanted Haint Frayley to
be your guy because A that's the Detroit Lions offensive
line coach. I've been raising about him for weeks on
the show, after what people told me when I visited
Detroit last summer. And look, it'll be fine, Brent hates
Frailey would have gotten you that offensive line figured out.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Interesting. We'll have to see what happens with him elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Thank you so much, Jory, really appreciate your time as
an absolute pleasure talking to you.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Great to talk to you, guys, Thanks for having me on.

Thursday night, start the weekend a little early seven.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah, I'm with that.

Speaker 5 (19:24):

Speaker 1 (19:31):
If the underreyes going bring a tissue, yeah all right,
I know how to work it.
Speaker 5 (19:37):

I'm sick card when they really weren't.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I don't think I have. I haven't here, but I'm
sure I never have.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You never Yeah, me either.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
The only time I was asked to go home was
when I had the VID. Oh, because I didn't tell anybody.
And then I went and got tested, and I was like,
I'm I've been trying to hold your boss.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
But he was like, I thought you could.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
When you said that, I thought you meant that you
knew and you didn't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I kind of knew, but I want to alarm anyone
because I knew how short staff you were just because
of the situation, and I didn't want to be a
burden on the team.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
And here I was being a burden.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So, oh, I know that feeling. I know exactly what
you mean.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I had. I've had a cold the past couple of days.
I mean, I'm fine to come to work.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I've been sanitizing, but I definitely the first thing that
came to mind was if this gets worse, who's available up. Nope,
it's just going to get better. It's just going to
get better. We don't have enough people who can. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
So that's why I was like, man, this is a
really nasty cold that I got. But in my head,
I was like, I think I just lost my smell.
Maybe I should Oh, did you get that? I didn't, actually,
but I was just thinking to myself, like, man, maybe
I should say something. When I got tested, at like
seven pm and my results came back and it was
like positive. I said, I have to tell Purple shoot,
(21:05):
I cannot just come to work with Vid and not like, oh,
everything's no, you can't him and he was like, okay,
we'll work it out. And we were able to work
it out. But I felt bad because I.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Was like, I don't want to catch it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
We always find the way and and that's too.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I had it once and I just like backtracked like what,
oh yeah, I didn't do because I ended up getting
it twice. Oh you did, Okay, I got it way
too many times and I would have went all right
enough COVID talk. We've been talking about Pete Carroll.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, Doctor Fauciucci, Yeah, man, what a guy he is.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
All Right, we don't need to get into that anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Anyway, we were talking about Pete Carroll, we were talking
about Klint Kubiak, a lot of texts coming in.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
We've talked about the Super Bowl era quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
When it comes to you know, Jayden Daniel is having
as much success in his rookie year as we've seen,
and who is in the Super Bowl. Now, these are
two very opposite franchises When it comes to the Eagles
and Kansas City at the quarterback position, Patrick Mahomes makes
that team. Jalen Hurts does not. Now that's no sniff
(22:14):
at Jalen Hurts, but he has not been the most
successful quarterback throughout this season. And he was extremely good
good in the game against the Commanders in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He did what he needed to do.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I believe he's twenty for twenty eight, you know, mid
two hundred yards and then he had a touchdown throw himself.
But Saquon Barkley is the reason that Jalen Hurts can
be what he is right now because this is coming
off of a text that came in and let's see
where did that go.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
We have more and more coming in.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The three six zero. You need a good quarterback to
win the in the NFL. How are the Eagles winning?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Then? Barkley and not exactly. Well, not to say that
Jalen isn't a good quarterback, because he is. But if
I'm not mistaken, they rush They had seven touchdowns on
the ground running the football.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He was ridiculous. Well, I mean that, yeah, what three
of them?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
And I know theyush pushes, but you're not relying on
him to throw it across the yard. If you have
a good running game, you don't need an elite quarterback
right exactly. I think you could put anybody on the
Eagles right now and they can run that system. No
discredit to Jalen because he's not asked to do much,
and that's what you want. That's what Pete would love
to do. That's why he didn't like the whole rush
let rush cook because it was like, Yo, we don't
(23:35):
want to we don't want to minimize mistakes, not obviously
running backs and fumble, but we want to minimize the
the errors of dropping back to pass, you can get sacked,
all these things that could happen. If you could take
care of the football, run it, Oh my goodness, you
could do what the Eagles are doing, which is having
a good quarterback, having a great run game. And now
they have a chance to beat the defending champs, a
(23:58):
team that is looking to go three straight. So this
should be a really fun matchup and we'll see, Yeah,
the Chiefs can shut down the run game. We'll see
how good or great Jalen Hurt can be with the
arm because I guarantee you they're number one thing in
that locker room when they go to the board, the
whiteboard and they circle players, name star, who the stars are? Oh,
(24:20):
we gotta stop Saquon. We gotta make Jalen throw the ball.
Sure they have the weapons, but I like our dbs.
Let's go mano a mano. They're probably gona pay a
lot of They're gonna get a lot of blitzed heavy
from what's his name, Sarry, the DC for the Chief.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
They're gonna probably blitz them a lot. But if that's
the case, sign me up.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I'm down for I would love to see a chess
match like that where they say, yeah, we're gonna blitz you.
We're gonna see if Jaien can throw the football, if
they can stop the run, because Squan has been unstoppable
this season.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah who you're thinking, Yeah, well that's what.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Everyone calls them, but I want to give them the
full name. Okay, listening, but who the hell is.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Spags Steve Spagnolo. I didn't even say his first name? Uh, yeah,
well that is.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's got to be the you know, the strategy for
anyone facing the Eagles is to shut down the road,
to force it into Jalen hurts his hands, right, and
you wonder what kind of bulletin.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Board material that is.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Speaking of bulletin board material, it's like nobody's talking about
the Eagles winning a Super Bowl. They're talking about them
upsetting the Chiefs chance to three pete unfortunately. I mean
it is, except you know, it's probably everyone outside of
that little area we call Philadelphia on the East Coast
is talking about it in those terms.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
All right, we've got a couple more texts here. Uh,
let's see.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Keith Miller says, if you haven't faked being sick, I
bet you never skipped school.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
I did skip school once, and then I actually my
friends niched on me.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
What did you cut or did they snitch to your parents.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Of the school?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
They basically I was talking mess about my teacher, and
then my friend was like, Chris actually skipped school today,
So he wrote a detention for me, and then my
friend took a picture of the detention and sent it
to me and was like, well, since you skipped and
you were talking mess, here's your attendance. So my friend
ended up telling the teacher that I a skipped and
(26:15):
wasn't sick at all, and he was like, yeah, I
can't wait to see you on see tomorrow for detention.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Nice try though, kid, So.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
He just wanted company and detention, so fun right, That's
that's pretty weak friends with this person.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
No, I guess I should say former, but nonetheless that
was funny. But I did skip school once. But yeah,
fake being sick never had done at this station.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
I enjoy it too much. Why would I want to
fake sick? I want to be here.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
The Chiefs are very dangerous when the refs are on
their game. From the two five three, I see what
you did there.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I wouldn't see you that in this game at least,
I mean, I don't like it seems.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
And you know, we talked to Ross Tucker the last
time that I filled in for Greg here, and I
just remember we talked about the soccrification and whether it's
gonna permeate. Yeah, I said I were going to see
a soccerfication of the NFL, and I asked if it
would permeate. And then all of a sudden, Kelsey's flopping
two there was a you know, not in the AFC
(27:12):
Championship game, but the game before he flopped, and there
was a skirmish. You know, they were talking John all right,
talk it out, talk it out, and he gets you know,
someone put his hand out into his chest and all
of a sudden, arms up. It's a yard sell. Everybody's
flailing that that. Come on, man, don't act tough. Then
don't act like the tough football player that you are.
(27:34):
Be one or the other, but don't act like a
tough guy. If that's how you're gonna act in those situations,
there's you know, and in soccer it's it's a part
of the game, right And also there are so few
scoring opportunities to give yourself an advantage.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I still don't like it. I just understand it a
little bit more in soccer, not the NFL. Just just stop,
just stop.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
I think that.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I mean, there have been messages to all of the
referees going into this because we've seen them highly affect
a lot of games, especially when we're watching the Chiefs,
which everybody is, and yeah, I just don't want them.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
To be a part of the game.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Have you seen the mayor.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I do know that he had an interview at eleven,
so I know he's in the building. I just don't
know where yet, But I think we should find out
what's coming up.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
On his show.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm usually on that show, and I do know what's
coming up, but I'd rather hear it from him. Ian
Fornest joins us. Next, Chris Kid, Jessemin McIntyre ninety three

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Friday and I'll let you know, send a picture of
your I don't.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
I'll say this, it's weird. We've talked about rooting interests
last week on our show. I do not have a
rooting interest in this game. That's fair, Like, I really don't.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
I any four Clint Hurt okay, Eagles d line coach.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
I like Clint, but it's enough to make not moving
the needle man, I tried. Yeah, no, it's good. I
don't have a rooting interest. But I did say last
wee I'd like to see Kansas City kind of get
there cause I like greatness, but I to see them
go for it. I don't necessarily need them to win,
but I just like the fact they're there, they're in it. Yeah,
(30:11):
I don't know, man, Like you said, I'll ask you
next week. I do like Hicks and watching the two Kougs. Yeah,
those guys playing for Kansas City is kind of good.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
I like that for the Eagles too. What's his face?
Cougar as well?
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Oh my gosh, he's gone there. Yeah, dealer's longer coffee. Yeah,
I think he's in Green Bay. Now, sorry, you kind
of a little bit of a bust but alone then yeah,
but no, I I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
I'm it's we're gonna talk about something today that I'm
gonna bring up. And I saw this term and I'll
give you guys the context when we start the show.
But it's called football fatigue. I'm gonna bring that up today.
I don't know if it's a real thing. There's a
lot of things in life we don't know if they're real,
especially today's world. We really don't know what's real and
(30:59):
what's not.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
But to bring that up a little bit later, a
bit like huh is this real, dude?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Oh yeah, trust nothing, Trust nothing at this.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Point and said, I stay off that as much as
I can.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Well, they make us on. They make us go on
it like hey the man, the man, iHeart man. They
make us go on to promote, man, what you got
going on?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Mayor that's what That's what it is. That's what it is, Chris.
It's like, yeah, you gotta go on.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
You got to your stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
We do like fake tweets.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
We should do ai tweets and just be like, hey,
Roger Goodell's coming.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In studio today.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Then you're gonna have someone that say that's not hard
for Nest talks no exactly how he tweets, No, I
just through it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, AI can figure that out.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
It's really no one can replace the Mayor. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
I appreciate you, Chris. I appreciate you, Chris.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Thank you for the people. Okay, yeah, versus AI. What
was on your show today? What did you guys do
a little bit of everything?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, we talked a lot about carro Caro was the.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Drive just because you guys talked about it yesterday, Mayor,
And it's just fascinating this guy. Really he's doing it again,
taking that year off, and he talked about how important
that was and how he's getting back into the swing
of things. This should be another fun year for the Raider,
that is as it was for the Seahawks that first
time when he got it or would you mentioned with USC.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
So Yeah, I think the re I think the the
ability and most people and their careers and jobs don't
have that ability to sit out a year, to have
a year sabbatical, you know not maybe you not your choice,
but you didn't pick it, but it's it's there. Yeah,
most people don't have that ability. If you do, though,
(32:29):
I do wonder. I think two things could happen, and
I just I'm thinking just for me personally, and if
you're you know, interesting thought for people driving around. You know,
for whatever you do for life or work or what
have you, will that year do it could rejuvenate you,
It could re energize you, or you may just say, man,
it's time to do something else. Right, It's probably gonna
(32:50):
be one or the other. And with Pete, obviously the
burned and burning desire to compete is is still there, right,
And it worked before at USC.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
That's what it was.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Yes, Yeah, it worked big time in USC. Yeah, it
worked a big time at USC because he had you know,
and the odd thing with USC is he was not
their first He was their third or fourth choice when
you got hired at USC.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
And was he the Raider's second choice?
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Yeah, I'm sure that Ben Johnson was everyone's first choice.
Aaron Glenn might have been everyone's second choice. So yeah,
I don't I don't know if he would have been
their first choice, like you know, like I don't know
if he would have been their first I mean, you
never know unless you're in the building. But I don't
know if he would have been their first choice because
I don't think it matters because of who he is.
(33:36):
He doesn't think it matters. We've talked about the age
and stuff. But if you're the Raiders, yeah, maybe it does.
But there is something with Pete. You bring Pete into
Vegas West coast, like people are familiar with him from
Seattle and usc and and I think I think it'll work.
I think it'll work. I did too, as long as
the personnel that was.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
That's what Jess and I talked about.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
They gotta find a quarterback, find another keep positions that
Pete cornerback.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Hey you know so right, DBS.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Yeah, And I didn't. I haven't done any kind of Look,
I haven't looked at there with their drafts.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Oh status is it bad? I mean their rosters bad?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
No? What?
Speaker 6 (34:11):
No?
Speaker 7 (34:11):
I mean how many picks? How many picks they have
and all that, Like the forty nine ers have like
ten picks this year. I hate I really hate that.
And they have the easiest schedule. The forty nine ers do,
by the way, next year.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Will deserve right after all their injuries.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Well that's the thing with the NFL, right, It's like
if they flip the.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Script, they got eight picks this season. The Raiders what what?
Speaker 7 (34:31):
What? What? They have one two and three per.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Second first round number six.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Overall, let's dive into this instead of so round three
they don't have a second round pick. They do have
a second round. They have two round threes, fourth round, fifth,
sixth and seven.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
They can they can get creative with those two third
round picks.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
So the way I look at Pete Carroll two, it's
like they're they're bringing him in.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
You mentioned yesterday, and I thought it was a great
observation about him reinventing himself that year that he set out.
You know, who's to say he hasn't done the same
in a different sense heading in here. I look at
him as putting the ship into the water and seeing
how far he can get with it and whether or
not it's time to put another captain on there after
(35:12):
he gets it going in the correct direction. But I
just don't see him not wanting to coach. So it's
hard to see after three years at the age of
seventy six.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Is I give him credit man to still do to
still want to go through the grind of the NFL,
no matter what age you are, is crazy, but I
think it. I think Pete and Vegas will be fun.
It just will. It will be, And if even if
the Raiders are still in Oakland. Pete and Oakland would
have been fun. Like it's just the dysfunction of the owner.
But maybe with Tom Brady and others now kind of
(35:43):
over helping and it's not just Mark Davis who's crazy,
that might help out as well.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
So the new NFC West huh well.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
I mean look at the coaching right, it's called oh
my gosh, Peyton. Yeah, it's pretty good. But yeah, speaking
of speaking that, we're gonna talk to reinventing Yourself. We'
gonna talk to our budy John un today. We're gonna
start doing something every week with John having a little
conversation with him. We'll do that at two o'clock today.
Hugh Millen is here at one a little hardcore football
(36:13):
not here sort of. Yeah, it'll sound like Magical Radio,
Chris Magic Radio. Yes, you'll hear Hugh millin at one o'clock.
I told him wouldn't be long before we had him
back on for hardcore football, and it wasn't. It was
basically a week. We'll break down the Clint Kubiak offense,
what does it look like? And then I've got a
bigger picture question I want to ask you as well,
(36:34):
because we had Jimmy Rodgers who he was new coaching yesterday,
and we're talking about like offensive philosophy. Like I'm gonna
ask you this if he if Hugh Millen was a
head coach D one college today, what would his offense
look like? Would it be air raid like? Would it
be maybe more West coast, maybe under center? Maybe more
(36:54):
traditional like because we just saw a team Ohio State
was pretty base power. Here we go, you know, not there, No,
there's no air rate out to that necessarily. Yet he's
got dude receivers. We'll talk about that a little bit too,
because I thought what Rogers said yesterday is interesting. He's
going back kind of going back in time a little bit,
both offensively defensively. So we'll talk about that with him,
and then a little bit of Rogers from yesterday. We'll
(37:16):
play at twelve twenty to the kind of a couple
of cuts that are fun to kind of dive into.
So yeah, and we'll talk about football fatigue as well.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
That's coming up all right, you heard it there from
the mayor himself. He's coming up next, Jessamin McIntyre. Thank you,
Chris Kidd, and we will hear from Greg Bell at
the end of the week when he returns
Welcome back in Jessamin McIntyre in for Greg Bell. Chris
Kidd is alongside me and we got to get to
some headlines they have brought to you by Frostcrew course
like the Crack, and they.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Faced a tough foe on the road.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Against the Pacific leading Pacific Division leading Oilers last night.
Despite ending the first period with the two to one lead,
they ultimately came too hooned to Edmonton with the.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Final score of four to two. But they get right.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Back at it on the ice to night at home
hosting the Anaheim Ducks seven o'clock down at Climb and
Pledge Arena six thirty three game with the one and
only Captain Mike Benton right here in your home for
the Crack in ninety three point three KJRFM. P Carroll
officially announced as the Las Vegas Raiders new head coach yesterday.
It sounded all the pet Carrol that we were used
to here in Seattle, and his role will be a
(00:48):
little bit different in Vegas, he stated yesterday. All decisions
will be a collaboration rather than him having the final
say on all transactions and moves in his previous sit
with the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Which was fourteen years. It wasn't a stint.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Seahawk's defensive end Leonard Williams has been added to the
Pro Bowl roster Pro Bowl Games roster, that's what it
is now, in place of Phillies Jalen Carter.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
In my opinion, Leonard should have been there in the first.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Place, but anyway, he will make his second career Pro
Bowl trip. Bobby Wagner, also of the Washington Commanders, added
in place of Philly Zach Pond. That game does take
place this Sunday. The games takes place this Sunday, and
we'll have that at noon for you right here on
ninety three point three KJARFM.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Husky women down.
Speaker 1 (01:29):

third quarter last night against Indiana. They came roaring back
in the fourth. They scored twenty four points to the
Hoosiers fourteen in the fourth but not an off. Final
score was seventy three to seventy. Their next game is
on Sunday at number eight ranked Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's at two o'clock and we'll have that right over

Speaker 1 (02:17):
So anyway, joining us right now from Yahoo's Sports Jory Epstein. Jory,
thank you so much for joining us today. We always
appreciate your time. I know I love listening to you
when Greg and Chris have you on. How are you today?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I'm doing well, jest Mine, Chrisprah, how are you guys doing?
Happy to be here from Mobile, Alabama at the Sangerbowl.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh wow, that is going to be awesome. We're going
to have to get to the Senior Bowl. At the
end of this conversation, because I did want to start.
We've been talking a lot about Pete Carroll here. Everyone
still loves him, We're happy to see him succeed in
a new role. But what was the national perspective when
you found out that he was hired by the Las
Vegas Readers.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I was happy for me. When you look at Las Vegas,
a team that has had a lot of dysfunction, a
lot of coaches. I mean, they've got several coaches on
the head coaches on their payroll alone, and they need
a coach who can come in create the culture, stabilize
the franchise. I really feel a win or two they
shouldn't get in a division that now it's just stacked
with Andy Reid, Pete Carroll, Han Kayton, and Jim Harbon
(03:17):
in the same division, and I think Pete can do that.
I think that to me, there are teams that are
already good every year and trying to contend in their
teams that are really just seeing to stabilize before they
could get to that point, and I put the Raiders
in the latter category. So I mean, kudos to them
if they prove it's all wrong and go all the way.
But I think starting out just developing that culture that
Pete did in Seattle is going to be great.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Jeory, were you surprised that the Raiders did make this
move and go after Pete Carroll, Because if I'm not mistaken,
last week you were thinking they might go a different direction.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I think what's interesting to me is that there's all
this conversation about Ben Johnson to the Raiders, and I
say kudos to Ben Johnsons for not going there, because
I understand that by all accounts, Tom Brady, who is
a part owner of the Raiders, is pushing him. But
they don't have a quarterback, they don't have the stability
that some of these other teams have, and I don't
think any coach should make this decision. Please talk someone
who alongs five to camp percent of the franchise. So
(04:09):
I don't think that Pete Carroll was expected at that point,
but I do think we all knew that Pete wanted
to get back into it, and so when the Raiders,
who seem to think they had more of a chance
of Ben Jopson than they actually did, did not get them,
Pete was one of the better options available.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Jory Epstein of Yahoo Sports is joining us, and our
weekly visit with Jory is brought to you by Zeke's Pizza,
homegrown in the Northwest, order online or at Zekespizza dot com.
Jory a lot of speculation here, so I'm tossing you
kind of an open ended question because you can take it.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Where you will.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But a lot of people want to know what Pete
Carroll is going to do at quarterback. Obviously the number
one need for the Raiders when it comes to filling
a role on the field. But what do you think
is more likely Pete Carroll trading for Gino Smith or
signing Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Of those two, I would say Russell Wilson. But I
mean it's a great question for me. I think, if anything,
one of the winners here, if we were to do
a winners and losers of Pete Carroll getting hired is
Russell Wilson. Because now when he's negotiata with the Pittsburgh Steelers,
which I do believe books on conversations with him earlier
in the season and from his comments more recently that
he would like to stay in Pittsburgh, I think he
(05:15):
could say, like, hey, I could go somewhere else. But
if you're looking at Pittsburgh, it's concerning what they did
down the road. I mean, I think Russ played better
in the last couple of years than what most people
think he did. But to lose the last five like
they did. I mean that was more than just Russ
and he didn't have a receiver and all of that.
But I think that he will now have a type
of leverage and it'll be interesting because the Steelers also
(05:36):
have Justin Field's contract up, so I would not expect
them to bring back both. And did there come a
time where they say, you know what, let's build with
justin Let's get this bridge and send Russell or allow
Russell to go to Vegas.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Let's go to the NFC Championship game that featured the
Commanders and Eagles. Your Eagles should, I say, Jory and
tough loss for the Commanders. But how bright is there
a future of Jaden Daniels Just because he looked pretty good?
It doesn't help when your teammates fun with the football
three times, but overall I thought he played a solid game.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
How bright is the commander's future?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I like the thing on my egos, but I definitely
have been piled out for the last three weeks down
my runner of they know my order at the diners,
so might as well be my Eagles that said yes
on the commander's front, I really think that the Commanders
should have so much reason for help. I mean, I
was standing at their post game locker room outside of
it right after as all the players and coaches are
coming up, and the team ownership was saying, it wasn't
(06:34):
like that, oh we're all disappointed. It was we love
you guys. Tell this season. We're just getting started. And
receiver Terry McLaurin told the owners we'll be back. And
I think the reason that Kerry and that whole team
are believing this is begins with Jaden Daniels. He's not
the only one, and we can't have a team only
with the quarterback. But you need a good quarterback to
win in the NFL always and especially in the modern era.
(06:54):
And I just think that he's got this unplaitability. The
way he like leverages Booth the run in the past
is just all. He's a mass problem for the other team.
And was talking to someone who's known Jayden dating back
to before his time with the Commanders, and they'd shared
with me a screenshot of text that he had spent.
It was the day after they beat the Lions, so
they went into the number one nfcceed notes the rookie
(07:14):
he upsets them through five touchdowns, and the person asked Jayden,
how do you feel? And he goes, I, DKO, I
don't know, Elo, I feel the same, and I feel
like that is one of the superpower, so Danton would say,
and I imagine he used that term even when he
was in Seattle. He's always says, what is the player's superpower?
One of Jaden's is no moment. He's too big for him,
and that's huge.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Jorry Epstein of y'all who sports with us here brought
to you by Zeke's Pizza Justamin McIntyre in for Greg Bell. Jory,
I wanted to ask you just going off with that
where you know you mentioned Dan Quinn and you he's
not the only new piece here. Jadan Daniels obviously is
a home run in the draft as a rookie quarterback.
But you have the combined new ownership, new head coach
(07:57):
and a rookie quarterback. Have you ever seen and that
our effect this successful in your time covering the NFL?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I haven't, And I think it's so true. It's like
it's funny. I kept joking at the Football Jogs, We're like,
all right, you guys finally got rid of Dan Snyder
will give you a little bit of help. And I
believe this is a point of the exact back because
I wrote it in my story yesterday. But a team
got drafted in the top two where the Commanders did drop.
I think they were the first one to go to
(08:26):
the conference to maybe the second team ever to go
to the conference championship in the same year they drafted
top two. And Jason's wanted something like six quarterbacks to
ever make it that far, as there would be No
rookie quarterback have made it to the super Bowl. So
this isn't it just even about our own time covering
the NFL. This is about NFL history. Yeah, he's the
first rookie quarterback and oh yeah, yes, that was it.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, Yeah, it's absolutely amazing. And you know, I know
dan Quinn, Well, we go back. My father coach with
him way back in the day in New York, and
I just I love to see what he did, what
he's doing, and I always believed he could. What I like,
the best that he said about taking that job was
that he was perfectly content to stay the defensive.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Coordinator in Dallas.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And this is an undertaking to go to Washington with
all of those moves you know, what was your reaction
to him taking that job in the first place and
thinking that that was a good fit for him.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Absolutely, and I'll just correct myself on it was a
fourth team in the common jaft there to pick top
two and make the conference championship game of the same heaven.
It's still very rare. I've related to dan Quinn yet
I worked with him in Dallas as they shared through
most of his time in Dallas, and I did a
story with him where he basically said he recaptured his
joy for coaching in Dallas. Like the end of his
Falcons Kenya really took a toll on him and he
(09:47):
didn't want to lead to the wrong opportunity. There were
a lot of teams from Carolina to Denver and others
who were interested in him, but he did feel like
Washington had what he needed. And I also, even though
I loved and was like, I don't know what's he
going to be set at first six? Is it a
front house where you just can't win? I hope it
all works out. I visited them last year during OPAS,
but I do think that there's just this revitalization of
(10:09):
a franchise that like, hey, we can finally focus on
football and not everything else. I team with the ownership,
and to vq's standpoint, you're to his credit, one of
the biggest things he learned after Atlantics. He did it.
He called this after action, and he reached out to
all of these players and coaches, including ones from Seattle
who he had worked with, and said, tell me what
I should do differently. I want to know what I
should do differently from a team standpoint, and I want
(10:31):
to know how I should lead differently. And one of
the biggest takeaways he has from that is he needed
to stop micromanaging and being involved in everything. Yes, you're
the head coach that you need to trust your guys
to do your job, which sounds cliche, but I say
that because yes, he is the top defenses I on Washington,
But he didn't have too much of an ego to
hire Cliftingsare to be the offensive coordinator and say, hey,
(10:51):
you're basically the head coach of the offense, and I'm
not going to interfere and I'm not going to be
looking around by that or looking behind my back worrying
that you're coming from night for my job. Hey, I'm
going to get former Chargers head coach Anthony went on
back in the day, I was visiting them. He asked Anthony,
because DQ had done a lot in his career, but
one of the one things he had not done was
develop a rookie quarterback. Because Lossal was there in Seattle,
(11:14):
Matt Ryan is there in Atlanta, and Dack was there
in Dallas. And so he told Anthony, Lynn, you drafted
justin Herbert. What did you? What worked and what's been
in developing him? Don't tell me now, but let's meet
tomorrow about it. Can he really just have this humility
of I'm not going to be in charge of everything.
I don't know everything, but I know a lot and
I'll make sure to avail myself of the resources to
make it work.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Let's go to the AFC, the chief just do it again.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
And unfortunately Josh Allen played a phenomenal game and he
didn't play a perfect game, or else they probably would
be in the Super Bowl. But does this loss to
Patrick Mahomes, do you think it affects his legacy moving forward?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Or is it just kind of the Jordan era?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
You know, you just happen to play against one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
It sucks, but as the re out of the situation.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Actually it's the Jordan are and you guys will correct
me as I'm around the less institutional knowledge than some,
but I mean even people like Nanny, there's so many
guys who have been some of the best quarterbacks in
this league. I and Aaron Rodgers have one super Bowl.
I no, Josh Allen does not have one yet. Who
just run into the same problem every time, and the
more in the Chiefs when the harder they are to beat.
I think when you look at this, it affects his
(12:23):
legacy in the sense that he didn't have the chance
to break through. The part of the legacy is he
is a quarterback who is fantastic. I think if there's
MVP consideration, and I think that he and he regularly
beats Patrick Mahomes in the regular season but not in
the playoffs. But I think when you look at it,
to me, that means he's just as great an MVP
level as he was before. But that team as a
(12:43):
whole has not come against Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs
and half successful. So I think that one of these
years is going to be coming but I think that
the Chiefs had a little extra motivation this year. Okay,
this isn't just another super Bowl. We could be the
first team ever to win three Super Bowls in a row.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Very up sign of Yahoo Sports with us. And yeah,
I don't think Andy Reid uses the word just ever.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
It doesn't come across as a guy who looks at
anything as just.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
But I love the tenor that he has.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
He We have coach holmgrind in studio all the time,
and they seem to have the same demeanor. I would say,
and you've probably spent well, you definitely have spent more
time around him than I have. How does he breed
so much consistent success there in kids a city?
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, I think part of it is that there are
coaches on the NFL Siborne could give their teams an advantage,
and Andy Reid is one of them. The way that
he's able to design plays, the way that he understands
the players, and I think there's a thematic element and
like also the emotional elements. I remember being at the
Super Bowl last year when Travis Kelsey had that moment
that went viral where he kind of like sort a
(13:50):
shoved our last share that andyre like what's going on?
And Travis talked afterwards. He said, look, I got to
this league. I did not know how to control my emotions.
I was not mature. And Andy's one of the people
like spread it with helping him get there. So he's
finally terfect as a coach, as a leader and all that.
But I do think he's got a schematic genius and
the quarterback who can carry out those genius ideas. On
(14:12):
top of the idea, he's really developing all of his players.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
It's official, Matt ebra Fluffs has signed on as the
Cowboys defensive coordinator. Do you like that move for the
Cowboys moving forward? What are your thoughts on that move
for the Cowboys there?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
I do.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I thought the Cowboys would be like to hire a
former head coach at defensive coordinator if they could find
the right one, because Brian Schottenheimer is a first time
head coach, and Matt ebra polue Offer is not only
that head coaching experience, but he also was in Dallas
probably it was seven years already, and he's got some
of his staff who went with him to Chicago who
has been there, so he understands the culture. He understands
(14:50):
what it takes to get the job done in Dallas.
I think that even though from a head coaching standpoint,
he was in a little over his head in Chicago,
and some of that with him, some of that with
the franchise, I also think that that defense still overperformed
in most years. So I would still expect that Matt
eclos can elevate this defense. I mean, it's a team
with Mike deparsions. They need to resign him, but they've
(15:11):
got a lot of talent on that defense and I'm
excited to see what Mattkins came up to them.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Joy. Speaking of coordinators, we have a new one out here.
The Seahawks finally got their man in Clint Kubiak. Now
we don't know as much about him, obviously, We've talked
to a lot of people close to him. We talked
to Joe Woods, a defensive play caller for the Seattle
Saints yesterday. Gave us kind of the opposite side of
the field look at him. But how do you think
(15:38):
he fits? I mean, I'll go back to saying Ryan
Grubb clearly wasn't a click with Mike McDonald having fired
him after just one year. People have all various opinions
about that move, But what do you think it was
about Clint Kubiak that he saw a match in. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think what's interesting to me is that I tested
someone close to the Raiders last year and night they
donald was hired, and they said, actually, before is when
you guys were interviewing him, and they said, he's like
the Shanahan McVay of the defense in terms of the
way he sees the game. And it would be a
huge pace for Mike McDonald and the way he's understands defenses.
But on the flip side of that, he is now
bringing in a coach who understands that Shanahan system, who
(16:18):
was in San Francisco for a lot of years. I
understand that he hasn't had the most statistical success in
Minnesota and New Orleans, but I think when you get
the other ideas, you have a different cast of players.
I mean, you can look at what Kellen Moore is
doing with the Eagles right now. He came from the
Chargers last year and clearly the Eagles saw that fing
him to hire him, even though his charters numbers were
(16:38):
not off the charts, And so I think that I
believe that this league evolves, and you want the coaches
who can keep up with that evolution, and that's what
they see and cling to be at.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's absolutely a great that's better insight than so far.
I like it, and I think that people are excited
here clearly, especially because Mike McDonald had some very specific
he was looking for and he wasn't going to settle
for anything but that.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So Clint Koubiak, we will.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
See how he goes here in Seattle once things get
going in the spring, once players come back, We'll see
how he takes to it, and also how much involvement.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
He has in getting us an offensive line. Uh we
would we really need that out here, Jory.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Which I will say, I really wanted Haint Frayley to
be your guy because A that's the Detroit Lions offensive
line coach. I've been raising about him for weeks on
the show, after what people told me when I visited
Detroit last summer. And look, it'll be fine, Brent hates
Frailey would have gotten you that offensive line figured out.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Interesting. We'll have to see what happens with him elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Thank you so much, Jory, really appreciate your time as
an absolute pleasure talking to you.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Great to talk to you, guys, Thanks for having me on.
All right.

Now you guys have been texting in.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
We've covered various topics, all NFL related for the most
part today and we'll get to those next. Chris Kid,
Jessemin McIntyre right here on ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Now back to Greg Bell and Christopher Kidd on your
home for the NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl fifty nine
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFL touch Down.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Welcome back in, Jessemin McIntyre in for Greg Bell. We've
got Chris Kidd in as well. Thank goodness, Chris. Happy Tuesday.
Once again. Did we give away our crack and ticket
Tuesdays for the eleven o'clock hour.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
We did for the ten o'clock I haven't done it
for the eleven Ooh.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You still have a chance to win a pair of
tickets to the Krack in hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs
and Mike Benton told us earlier today that that is
a hot ticket and that is going to be allowed
fun environments to make sure not only to our eleven
o'clock hour to listen, but to listen to all shows
all day because we are giving away a pair of
(19:02):
tickets to that game every single hour. That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Thursday night, start the weekend a little early seven.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Yeah, I'm with that.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
I'm called in sick on Friday morning. I was thinking
that maybe a little sniffles because you were at the game.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah started, Yeah, February sixth, you're at work, you get
these tickets, you win, just starts.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Oh man, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
If you're a if you're a person that wears makeup,
maybe don't wear as much that day.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
If the underreyes going bring a tissue, yeah all right,
I know how to work it.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
You know how to work it.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I feel like everyone at some point has played the
I'm sick card when they really weren't.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I don't think I have. I haven't here, but I'm
sure I never have.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
You never Yeah, me either.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
The only time I was asked to go home was
when I had the VID. Oh, because I didn't tell anybody.
And then I went and got tested, and I was like,
I'm I've been trying to hold your boss.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
But he was like, I thought you could.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
When you said that, I thought you meant that you
knew and you didn't tell anybody.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I kind of knew, but I want to alarm anyone
because I knew how short staff you were just because
of the situation, and I didn't want to be a
burden on the team.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
And here I was being a burden.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So, oh, I know that feeling. I know exactly what
you mean.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I had. I've had a cold the past couple of days.
I mean, I'm fine to come to work.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I've been sanitizing, but I definitely the first thing that
came to mind was if this gets worse, who's available up. Nope,
it's just going to get better. It's just going to
get better. We don't have enough people who can. Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
So that's why I was like, man, this is a
really nasty cold that I got. But in my head,
I was like, I think I just lost my smell.
Maybe I should Oh, did you get that? I didn't, actually,
but I was just thinking to myself, like, man, maybe
I should say something. When I got tested, at like
seven pm and my results came back and it was
like positive. I said, I have to tell Purple shoot,
(21:05):
I cannot just come to work with Vid and not like, oh,
everything's no, you can't him and he was like, okay,
we'll work it out. And we were able to work
it out. But I felt bad because I.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
Was like, I don't want to catch it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
We always find the way and and that's too.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I had it once and I just like backtracked like what,
oh yeah, I didn't do because I ended up getting
it twice. Oh you did, Okay, I got it way
too many times and I would have went all right
enough COVID talk. We've been talking about Pete Carroll.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yeah, Doctor Fauciucci, Yeah, man, what a guy he is.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
All Right, we don't need to get into that anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Anyway, we were talking about Pete Carroll, we were talking
about Klint Kubiak, a lot of texts coming in.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
We've talked about the Super Bowl era quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
When it comes to you know, Jayden Daniel is having
as much success in his rookie year as we've seen,
and who is in the Super Bowl. Now, these are
two very opposite franchises When it comes to the Eagles
and Kansas City at the quarterback position, Patrick Mahomes makes
that team. Jalen Hurts does not. Now that's no sniff
(22:14):
at Jalen Hurts, but he has not been the most
successful quarterback throughout this season. And he was extremely good
good in the game against the Commanders in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He did what he needed to do.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I believe he's twenty for twenty eight, you know, mid
two hundred yards and then he had a touchdown throw himself.
But Saquon Barkley is the reason that Jalen Hurts can
be what he is right now because this is coming
off of a text that came in and let's see
where did that go.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
We have more and more coming in.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The three six zero. You need a good quarterback to
win the in the NFL. How are the Eagles winning?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Then? Barkley and not exactly. Well, not to say that
Jalen isn't a good quarterback, because he is. But if
I'm not mistaken, they rush They had seven touchdowns on
the ground running the football.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He was ridiculous. Well, I mean that, yeah, what three
of them?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
And I know theyush pushes, but you're not relying on
him to throw it across the yard. If you have
a good running game, you don't need an elite quarterback
right exactly. I think you could put anybody on the
Eagles right now and they can run that system. No
discredit to Jalen because he's not asked to do much,
and that's what you want. That's what Pete would love
to do. That's why he didn't like the whole rush
let rush cook because it was like, Yo, we don't
(23:35):
want to we don't want to minimize mistakes, not obviously
running backs and fumble, but we want to minimize the
the errors of dropping back to pass, you can get sacked,
all these things that could happen. If you could take
care of the football, run it, Oh my goodness, you
could do what the Eagles are doing, which is having
a good quarterback, having a great run game. And now
they have a chance to beat the defending champs, a
(23:58):
team that is looking to go three straight. So this
should be a really fun matchup and we'll see, Yeah,
the Chiefs can shut down the run game. We'll see
how good or great Jalen Hurt can be with the
arm because I guarantee you they're number one thing in
that locker room when they go to the board, the
whiteboard and they circle players, name star, who the stars are? Oh,
(24:20):
we gotta stop Saquon. We gotta make Jalen throw the ball.
Sure they have the weapons, but I like our dbs.
Let's go mano a mano. They're probably gona pay a
lot of They're gonna get a lot of blitzed heavy
from what's his name, Sarry, the DC for the Chief.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
They're gonna probably blitz them a lot. But if that's
the case, sign me up.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I'm down for I would love to see a chess
match like that where they say, yeah, we're gonna blitz you.
We're gonna see if Jaien can throw the football, if
they can stop the run, because Squan has been unstoppable
this season.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah who you're thinking, Yeah, well that's what.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Everyone calls them, but I want to give them the
full name. Okay, listening, but who the hell is.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Spags Steve Spagnolo. I didn't even say his first name? Uh, yeah,
well that is.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's got to be the you know, the strategy for
anyone facing the Eagles is to shut down the road,
to force it into Jalen hurts his hands, right, and
you wonder what kind of bulletin.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Board material that is.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Speaking of bulletin board material, it's like nobody's talking about
the Eagles winning a Super Bowl. They're talking about them
upsetting the Chiefs chance to three pete unfortunately. I mean
it is, except you know, it's probably everyone outside of
that little area we call Philadelphia on the East Coast
is talking about it in those terms.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
All right, we've got a couple more texts here. Uh,
let's see.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Keith Miller says, if you haven't faked being sick, I
bet you never skipped school.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
I did skip school once, and then I actually my
friends niched on me.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
What did you cut or did they snitch to your parents.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Of the school?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
They basically I was talking mess about my teacher, and
then my friend was like, Chris actually skipped school today,
So he wrote a detention for me, and then my
friend took a picture of the detention and sent it
to me and was like, well, since you skipped and
you were talking mess, here's your attendance. So my friend
ended up telling the teacher that I a skipped and
(26:15):
wasn't sick at all, and he was like, yeah, I
can't wait to see you on see tomorrow for detention.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
Nice try though, kid, So.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
He just wanted company and detention, so fun right, That's
that's pretty weak friends with this person.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
No, I guess I should say former, but nonetheless that
was funny. But I did skip school once. But yeah,
fake being sick never had done at this station.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
I enjoy it too much. Why would I want to
fake sick? I want to be here.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
The Chiefs are very dangerous when the refs are on
their game. From the two five three, I see what
you did there.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I wouldn't see you that in this game at least,
I mean, I don't like it seems.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
And you know, we talked to Ross Tucker the last
time that I filled in for Greg here, and I
just remember we talked about the soccrification and whether it's
gonna permeate. Yeah, I said I were going to see
a soccerfication of the NFL, and I asked if it
would permeate. And then all of a sudden, Kelsey's flopping
two there was a you know, not in the AFC
(27:12):
Championship game, but the game before he flopped, and there
was a skirmish. You know, they were talking John all right,
talk it out, talk it out, and he gets you know,
someone put his hand out into his chest and all
of a sudden, arms up. It's a yard sell. Everybody's
flailing that that. Come on, man, don't act tough. Then
don't act like the tough football player that you are.
(27:34):
Be one or the other, but don't act like a
tough guy. If that's how you're gonna act in those situations,
there's you know, and in soccer it's it's a part
of the game, right And also there are so few
scoring opportunities to give yourself an advantage.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I still don't like it. I just understand it a
little bit more in soccer, not the NFL. Just just stop,
just stop.
Speaker 7 (27:54):
I think that.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I mean, there have been messages to all of the
referees going into this because we've seen them highly affect
a lot of games, especially when we're watching the Chiefs,
which everybody is, and yeah, I just don't want them.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
To be a part of the game.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Have you seen the mayor.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I do know that he had an interview at eleven,
so I know he's in the building. I just don't
know where yet, But I think we should find out
what's coming up.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
On his show.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm usually on that show, and I do know what's
coming up, but I'd rather hear it from him. Ian

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Friday and I'll let you know, send a picture of
your I don't.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
I'll say this, it's weird. We've talked about rooting interests
last week on our show. I do not have a
rooting interest in this game. That's fair, Like, I really don't.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
I any four Clint Hurt okay, Eagles d line coach.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
I like Clint, but it's enough to make not moving
the needle man, I tried. Yeah, no, it's good. I
don't have a rooting interest. But I did say last
wee I'd like to see Kansas City kind of get
there cause I like greatness, but I to see them
go for it. I don't necessarily need them to win,
but I just like the fact they're there, they're in it. Yeah,
(30:11):
I don't know, man, Like you said, I'll ask you
next week. I do like Hicks and watching the two Kougs. Yeah,
those guys playing for Kansas City is kind of good.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
I like that for the Eagles too. What's his face?
Cougar as well?
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Oh my gosh, he's gone there. Yeah, dealer's longer coffee. Yeah,
I think he's in Green Bay. Now, sorry, you kind
of a little bit of a bust but alone then yeah,
but no, I I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
I'm it's we're gonna talk about something today that I'm
gonna bring up. And I saw this term and I'll
give you guys the context when we start the show.
But it's called football fatigue. I'm gonna bring that up today.
I don't know if it's a real thing. There's a
lot of things in life we don't know if they're real,
especially today's world. We really don't know what's real and
(30:59):
what's not.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
But to bring that up a little bit later, a
bit like huh is this real, dude?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Oh yeah, trust nothing, Trust nothing at this.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
Point and said, I stay off that as much as
I can.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Well, they make us on. They make us go on
it like hey the man, the man, iHeart man. They
make us go on to promote, man, what you got
going on?
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Mayor that's what That's what it is. That's what it is, Chris.
It's like, yeah, you gotta go on.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
You got to your stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
We do like fake tweets.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
We should do ai tweets and just be like, hey,
Roger Goodell's coming.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
In studio today.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Then you're gonna have someone that say that's not hard
for Nest talks no exactly how he tweets, No, I
just through it.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah, AI can figure that out.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
It's really no one can replace the Mayor. Thank you.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
I appreciate you, Chris. I appreciate you, Chris.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
Thank you for the people. Okay, yeah, versus AI. What
was on your show today? What did you guys do
a little bit of everything?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, we talked a lot about carro Caro was the.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Drive just because you guys talked about it yesterday, Mayor,
And it's just fascinating this guy. Really he's doing it again,
taking that year off, and he talked about how important
that was and how he's getting back into the swing
of things. This should be another fun year for the Raider,
that is as it was for the Seahawks that first
time when he got it or would you mentioned with USC.
Speaker 7 (32:08):
So Yeah, I think the re I think the the
ability and most people and their careers and jobs don't
have that ability to sit out a year, to have
a year sabbatical, you know not maybe you not your choice,
but you didn't pick it, but it's it's there. Yeah,
most people don't have that ability. If you do, though,
(32:29):
I do wonder. I think two things could happen, and
I just I'm thinking just for me personally, and if
you're you know, interesting thought for people driving around. You know,
for whatever you do for life or work or what
have you, will that year do it could rejuvenate you,
It could re energize you, or you may just say, man,
it's time to do something else. Right, It's probably gonna
(32:50):
be one or the other. And with Pete, obviously the
burned and burning desire to compete is is still there, right,
And it worked before at USC.
Speaker 5 (33:01):
That's what it was.
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Yes, Yeah, it worked big time in USC. Yeah, it
worked a big time at USC because he had you know,
and the odd thing with USC is he was not
their first He was their third or fourth choice when
you got hired at USC.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
And was he the Raider's second choice?
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Yeah, I'm sure that Ben Johnson was everyone's first choice.
Aaron Glenn might have been everyone's second choice. So yeah,
I don't I don't know if he would have been
their first choice, like you know, like I don't know
if he would have been their first I mean, you
never know unless you're in the building. But I don't
know if he would have been their first choice because
I don't think it matters because of who he is.
(33:36):
He doesn't think it matters. We've talked about the age
and stuff. But if you're the Raiders, yeah, maybe it does.
But there is something with Pete. You bring Pete into
Vegas West coast, like people are familiar with him from
Seattle and usc and and I think I think it'll work.
I think it'll work. I did too, as long as
the personnel that was.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
That's what Jess and I talked about.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
They gotta find a quarterback, find another keep positions that
Pete cornerback.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Hey you know so right, DBS.
Speaker 7 (34:04):
Yeah, And I didn't. I haven't done any kind of Look,
I haven't looked at there with their drafts.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Oh status is it bad? I mean their rosters bad?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
No? What?
Speaker 6 (34:11):
No?
Speaker 7 (34:11):
I mean how many picks? How many picks they have
and all that, Like the forty nine ers have like
ten picks this year. I hate I really hate that.
And they have the easiest schedule. The forty nine ers do,
by the way, next year.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Will deserve right after all their injuries.
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Well that's the thing with the NFL, right, It's like
if they flip the.
Speaker 5 (34:28):
Script, they got eight picks this season. The Raiders what what?
Speaker 7 (34:31):
What? What? They have one two and three per.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Second first round number six.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Overall, let's dive into this instead of so round three
they don't have a second round pick. They do have
a second round. They have two round threes, fourth round, fifth,
sixth and seven.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
They can they can get creative with those two third
round picks.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
So the way I look at Pete Carroll two, it's
like they're they're bringing him in.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
You mentioned yesterday, and I thought it was a great
observation about him reinventing himself that year that he set out.
You know, who's to say he hasn't done the same
in a different sense heading in here. I look at
him as putting the ship into the water and seeing
how far he can get with it and whether or
not it's time to put another captain on there after
(35:12):
he gets it going in the correct direction. But I
just don't see him not wanting to coach. So it's
hard to see after three years at the age of
seventy six.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Is I give him credit man to still do to
still want to go through the grind of the NFL,
no matter what age you are, is crazy, but I
think it. I think Pete and Vegas will be fun.
It just will. It will be, And if even if
the Raiders are still in Oakland. Pete and Oakland would
have been fun. Like it's just the dysfunction of the owner.
But maybe with Tom Brady and others now kind of
(35:43):
over helping and it's not just Mark Davis who's crazy,
that might help out as well.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
So the new NFC West huh well.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
I mean look at the coaching right, it's called oh
my gosh, Peyton. Yeah, it's pretty good. But yeah, speaking
of speaking that, we're gonna talk to reinventing Yourself. We'
gonna talk to our budy John un today. We're gonna
start doing something every week with John having a little
conversation with him. We'll do that at two o'clock today.
Hugh Millen is here at one a little hardcore football
(36:13):
not here sort of. Yeah, it'll sound like Magical Radio,
Chris Magic Radio. Yes, you'll hear Hugh millin at one o'clock.
I told him wouldn't be long before we had him
back on for hardcore football, and it wasn't. It was
basically a week. We'll break down the Clint Kubiak offense,
what does it look like? And then I've got a
bigger picture question I want to ask you as well,
(36:34):
because we had Jimmy Rodgers who he was new coaching yesterday,
and we're talking about like offensive philosophy. Like I'm gonna
ask you this if he if Hugh Millen was a
head coach D one college today, what would his offense
look like? Would it be air raid like? Would it
be maybe more West coast, maybe under center? Maybe more
(36:54):
traditional like because we just saw a team Ohio State
was pretty base power. Here we go, you know, not there, No,
there's no air rate out to that necessarily. Yet he's
got dude receivers. We'll talk about that a little bit too,
because I thought what Rogers said yesterday is interesting. He's
going back kind of going back in time a little bit,
both offensively defensively. So we'll talk about that with him,
and then a little bit of Rogers from yesterday. We'll
(37:16):
play at twelve twenty to the kind of a couple
of cuts that are fun to kind of dive into.
So yeah, and we'll talk about football fatigue as well.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
That's coming up all right, you heard it there from
the mayor himself. He's coming up next, Jessamin McIntyre. Thank you,
Chris Kidd, and we will hear from Greg Bell at
the end of the week when he returns
