What do you buy to lay?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Look casino resort and quilsee the Creek Draft King sports
book where the action never stopped.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Ready to get there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Hey, good Wednesday morning to you. Welcome into the radio
program that is entitled Chucking Back in the Morning Sports
Radio ninety three point three k j A r FM.
Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Powell, and
that's it. If you woke up this morning without a
giant sequoia blocking your driveway, then consider yourself Lucky, because

(01:28):
not everyone you know can say that that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Not everyone you know can say that. I do like
that we went with a sequoia.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, just to think of the biggest tree.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
P it was massive.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yes, yes, it didn't look massive the photos that Bucky provided.
I guess there was a storm. Well, there was a storm.
We all kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Touched this, yeah, the gap winds.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah, we kissed the storm, all of us. But apparently
it really made out with North Bend. I mean it
got it got up and close and personal.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
In the business, that's right.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
And he got smacked with a storm last night. And
in the midst of it all, I guess one of
the tall timbers that he calls neighbor one friend I
decided to topple ride over and block his passageway out.
So he's stuck there forever.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Well, I mean at this point, I think, now knowing
that it's a sequoia, he's probably better off just drilling
like a doorway, like cutting a doorway through it. It
would be great for tourism, it would I'd go visit, Yeah, exactly,
That's the one thing that would get me to go
out there.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
People love driving through a tree. Yeah, in my experience,
I found that they really do be true. They really
do more often than not.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, but luckily they're okay.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
His family's good, family's okay. Yafter not so much. Yeah,
I don't know if I saw the residue of that,
but nonetheless, yes, No, Bucky Jacobson. Today he comes up
with clever ways to miswork. I'll give him that.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
That was a big one.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I mean, he's been talking about I'll just take this
day off and this will go well, factor fiction will
be great. And it's like, no, Bucky, you got to
come to work. Yeah, And he was like, Okay, they're
gonna make me go. All right, let's go step it up, wins.
I want to let's uproot this tree.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, he's got some creative excuse notes. I'll give him that.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I need to step up my game.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, i'd say so. Welcome in. We've got you covered
for the next four hours, and we have no shortage
of juicy topics to discuss during the course of today's program.
We will have What's on tap for you in a moment.
We also have a couple of other features that we're
going to roll out for you today as well. So

(03:34):
settle in It's going to be your normal Wednesday hump
Day show, but with a lot of things to discuss today,
So we don't want for content, I'll tell you that,
and we will begin with yesterday's big news, the National
Football League trading deadline. Of course the entire hour. I
just noticing I do take some pride in like making

(03:56):
sure that the listener doesn't have to listen to the
same thing, same content, same topics always. Obviously we have
different spins every day, but today I thought it was
kind of important because there were such there were three
big stories going into yesterday, and now I'm like, yeah,
now that we know the answers to these three things,

(04:17):
we should probably have those conversations the next day and
the exact same sequence.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Oh yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Yeah, So we talked about in this segment yesterday the
NFL trading deadline. Well, now the NFL trading deadline has passed,
and we know exactly what the Seahawks did and didn't do,
and we also got to witness some blockbusters. It wasn't
quite the amount of trades that I thought that we
would see, especially after we left work around the what

(04:45):
eleven o'clock, there was the Quinn Williams trade on the
way home. But I'm I still I'm looking at it
just turned It's not even turned noon yet. We're gonna
have another hour and then this thing's really gonna unleash. Yeah,
it really didn't, so the mass amount didn't occur. But
rarely do we see blockbuster deals go down on trade deadline,

(05:06):
and we saw two from one team yesterday, which we'll
get into here in a moment. So between that and
the college football rankings figured we talked about that at
six thirty, and they did make a decision on who's
going to quarterback for the Cardinals, So we'll talk about
that again at six forty five. And we have what's
on tap coming up here in a little bit, which
will map out the entire show for you and condense

(05:28):
you that you need to listen to all four hours.
But the NFL trading deadline is certainly where we start,
and the Seahawks did make a move today, very interesting one.
As a matter of fact, I'm toying around with like
letter grades. I think that sort of gets old. So
my letter grade for this trade for Rashid Shaheed for

(05:49):
a fourth and a fifth round pick. It is an
f but for fascinating, Oh not for fail really, Yeah,
I didn't want to go down the same old road. Yeah,
it's a fascinating deal. And I was genuinely surprised at
how many of the national guys that I saw covering

(06:12):
the NFL trading deadline event yesterday just couldn't stop raving
about how good to move this is by John Schneider,
how clever a move it is. I don't think Ashley
with a success Jackson Smith and Jigmas had. With Tory
Horton coming off his best game of his young career
and looking like he can be a contributor all season long.

(06:33):
With the amount invested in Cooper Cup and an injury
that doesn't sound like it should keep him out for
very long, we shall see a couple tight ends that
are young and probably just touching upon their abilities this season.
I expect both of those guys to get better as
the season progresses and they rack up more playing time

(06:54):
and more reps. It really did not seem like it
was an area that the Seahawks needed to address. It
almost feels like a luxury pick and yet to grab something.
I mean, how much time do we spend in training
camp talking about where's the guy to take the top
off of the defense, right, something Hugh Millen was very

(07:14):
worried about. Marquez Valdez Scantling was not the answer there,
Tory Horton was starting to look like the answer. And
yet here are the Seahawks. Here's John Schneider, in his
own bold way, saying, you know what, let's get a
guy that truly takes the top off the defense. Let's
get a guy that has led the National Football League

(07:36):
in yards per catch recently, playing with a not so
great quarterback and a not so good team in New
Orleans and lo and behold, nearly everybody that broke this
down yesterday that I witnessed absolutely loves this move for
the Seahawks.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Yeah, and that's all I saw too. Just to everybody
was they weren't bothered by the fourth and the fifth
round pick. They thought it was a great addition. People
were saying, you know, I already knew this or thought
this Seahawks team was good.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
And now look at them, like, how are you? I
saw things like how are you going to defend them?

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Now?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
And this wasn't from local people.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
And that's something that that's being said about the offense. Yeah,
of the twenty twenty five Seahawks.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Right, yeah, Yeah, it was crazy and I and I
was excited about the trade.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I think, you know, it's it's always nice when your
team's involved in trade deadline, sure, of course, and so
and then to have had it be that move and
not just be something that because I was a little
worried that John was just going to do something little,
just to do something because he couldn't not be involved.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
He never does anything little. I mean, that's what surprised
me by all of the Mafay Woolen and there was
no chatter about Okay, who's he bringing in?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Right exactly?

Speaker 4 (08:45):
He always bring somebody in, Yeah, he brought He makes
bold moves at the trading deadline, even when the team's
not playing as well as what they are right now. Yeah.
I mean, if you're not motivated to improve this team
and see how far they can go this year, after
what you watched on Sunday, after what you've watched from
Sam Darnold since the start of the season, then I'm

(09:07):
not sure as a general manager you have a pulse.
We know that John has a raging pulse for making moves.
He's one of the most creative general managers in all
of sports, not just the National Football League. He's bold.
I heard Ian talking about it yesterday. This organization does
put a pedal to the medal when it really comes

(09:28):
down to it. You're talking about a guy that added
Sheldon Richardson at the trading deadline, Jadeveon Clowney, Ernest Jones.
I mean, the list goes on. So I was surprised
leading up to yesterday, where's the talk about who he's
going to add? And there was a little bit about well,
interior offensive line. Well we're always talking about interior offensive

(09:49):
line always, and he rarely pulls that trigger. He's got
something up his sleeve. I didn't see speed receiver coming
down the track because of what I've seen from Tory Horton.
But nonetheless, now that the move has been made, now
that Shaheed gets to be paired with a red hot quarterback,

(10:11):
now that Jackson Smith and Jigba can pretty much you
can line him up anywhere on the offense right now.
I mean you can just have some fun with him.
You can make matchup nightmares. You can break the huddle
and have the defense go, where's eleven and how are
we going to defend him this play because Cup can
run the short routes and Horton can do multiple things,

(10:34):
and Shaheed takes the lid off the defense if you
need him to. I don't know if it was necessary.
There might have been a move out there that addresses
more of a hole or a need. But when you've
got people like you said, saying, how do you stop
this offense on a team built around its defense? Yeah,

(10:55):
and now people are wondering how do you stop the
Seahawks offense? And a lot of that has to do
Donald right, and how great Sam Donald looks, and a
lot asked to do with JSN because even we didn't
see that he was about to become Jamar Chase right.
And and so you have that momentum going, those two
things going. You have a quarterback that once again didn't

(11:17):
get sacked on Sunday. I mean, when's the last time
we talked about a quarterback that doesn't get sacked in Seattle?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
No clue, not since I moved here two decades.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
I've been here for a decade. Offensive line, it's never
not been a topic since I moved here about how
often our quarterback gets sacked. And now We've got one
of the least touched quarterbacks in the National Football League,
So you just it's almost like John's like, this is
just gonna be fun. This is like the Jimmy Graham move.
And I know that that didn't work out necessarily, but

(11:49):
it's sort of that vibe like I'm playing with house
money right now. Let's get something fun. Yeah, we're not
gonna buy the kids socks for Christmas, not this year, bikes,
video games, They're they're getting something fun. This offense is
going to get something fun. And I can't wait to
see how he blends with the rest of this lineup.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Yeah, that and that is going to be the fun thing.
I mean just how quickly they're you know, involving him
and what they're doing. How how much will he be
involved early on? I mean all of that is going
to be because I do think this is one of
the fun things that we've noticed about this team from
the week one right. Yes, Week one didn't go how
we wanted it to, but it seems like every week
we see something just a little different, like something adds

(12:35):
on something you're seeing, you know, new a new play
or a new something that we haven't seen before. A
new wrinkle and so now here's your next wrinkle, and
he's going to get slowly folded in.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
And so I just think or maybe quickly or maybe
the experience kub that's true. Either way, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
And he knows the offense. Yeah, it's really the offense
he knows best. Rashid Shaheed, Yeah, probably is Clint Kubiak's offense.
I mean he's been immersed in at the last prior
to this year, and so he might be somebody that's
just like, no, no, no, I know, I know what
you're doing here. Just put me in the game. I'll
make some plays for you. So it's it's fun, it's
it's a fascinating move fnospher, fascinating to get us started,

(13:16):
and I think we'll see it enacted against the Cardinals
coming up on Sunday. There were obviously other moves, bigger
moves that were made Entrade deadline. I think the other
two teams that have to be discussed here are the
Jets and the Cowboys. And let's start with the Jets,
because they also are getting ridiculous amounts of praise for

(13:37):
what they did yesterday. And I'm not sure I'm on
board with it when we were kids. I was for incomplete.
I don't know if that grading system existed in Washington
or for a person of your age, but you know,
you get an ABCD and then F and then every
once in a while somebody, some teacher would be a

(13:58):
smart ass and just say you didn't complete the curriculum.
I'm gonna give you an eye.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
I saw nightmares that I have gone through an entire
semester and not completed the curriculum.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
I don't give this I for incomplete. I give this
I for incompetent. For the Jets, and not that their
moves yesterday were a symbol of incompetence, but their history
is of incompetence, and not franchise history, recent history. Their
present history is a symbol of incompetence. And so everybody,

(14:29):
because everybody loves accumulating draft picks, and as much as
I love the draft, and if you haven't heard, it's
all my business cards, I'm father draftmiss. I love the draft,
and I do believe in draft capital. But I also
we have to recognize it doesn't matter how much draft
capital you accumulate if you don't hit on your draft picks.

(14:53):
And the New York Jets don't hit on their draft picks.
The only times they've hit on their draft picks, they
just traded the two guys that they hit on, and
by the way, those were both top five selection. It's
easier to hit on your draft picks the closer you
pick to the top, and so the New York Jets

(15:14):
are going to be picking close to the top. But
that's not what they acquired yesterday. They acquired two first
round picks for the Indianapolis Colts, who seem to know
what they're doing right now. Those are going to be
late first round picks. Jets don't hit on late first
round picks. Now they have a brand new general manager,
and maybe we have to play the game of giving

(15:35):
him the benefit of the doubt, but Woody Johnson's still
the owner. And the truth of the matter is, if
you're going to go as far as trading the only
two pieces that are functioning and working for you, and
now you're left with nothing but a mystery for the
rest of the season. Part of this is you need
to get as bad as you can get, because if

(15:55):
you don't finish with the number one or number two pick,
you're probably not gonna get the quarterback that you seek
that Woody Johnson publicly is declaring that the organization needs.
So if you end up with the fifth or sixth
pick because you didn't trade off enough pieces at the
trading deadline, guess what's gonna happen. You're gonna take all

(16:15):
that draft capital that you accumulated. You're gonna package it
together to move up in the draft to get the
number one pick, yep, so that you can get your
quarterback of choice. I remember when Carolina did that and
ended up with Bryce Young. I mean, you have to
be a competent organization that hits on draft picks in

(16:36):
order to feel good about your draft capital. There's no
evidence of that for the New York Jets. To me,
they traded away the only two functional pieces that they
have in the entire organization, and they were locked up
long term, so it's not like they had expiring contracts.
So I don't know why everybody thinks the Jets won
the day yesterday. Because you want to talk about IY

(16:57):
is for incomplete. We got to see what they do
with what they got in return, and I is for incompetent.
They've never been good at it.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
I mean, there's a reason that Jets fans have always
been shown booing every time the Jets make a pick
in the draft. I mean when it used to be
at Radio City Music Hall or whatever, and the Jets
fans were always there.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Every pick the Jets.

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Made, they booed, and it was because it was like,
oh good, how are you going to screw this one up?

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah, that just didn't happen one day. That happened because
you have a history of doing that exactly, and your
recent history is even worse than your franchise history. So
we'll see, we'll see. I mean that's the case with
I know, every sporting topic. We'll see. But I mean,
you've you've you got to connect. We don't get to
count your number two pick you end up with the

(17:41):
draft and the draft because you were bad. Yeah, the
picks you accumulated are going to be late first rounders
mostly and a second rounder for this upcoming year. And
then finally, just quickly, Cowboys, oh minus for old minus
old Jerry Jones. I know he's fine, thing, and I
know you can see it that he's he's really worried

(18:04):
that he's not going to win another Super Bowl before
it's too late, and he is fighting it for everything
he can he can, but man, these he's basically traded
Micah Parsons for two defensive tackles and a inside linebacker.
So a three five and one team that just got

(18:24):
blasted at home by the Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, and was
that at home? Team did they play was money and
I football, It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
It was.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Yeah, they got blasted by the Arizona Cardinals, where their
quarterback says, we got dominated on both sides of the
ball by a team that had lost five straight games
and was starting their backup quarterback and that's the time
to go for it at the trading deadline.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Well, and he was bragging about that he made the
trade before the game and all we made it where
we've already made a trade tonight, I'm like, what.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Are you doing?

Speaker 4 (18:58):
You have three five and one, and that's the time
to go to be the most aggressive team at the
trading deadline. You're not even going to make the playoffs.
And you better be able to stop the run now
because you've committed more draft capital and more player capital
to stopping the run than any team I've ever seen

(19:19):
in my entire life watching football. So you better be
able to stop the run going forward, otherwise you've just
traded away Mica Parsons for nothing. Yeah, and so I mean,
of those three teams that we've outlined, I like the
Seahawks trade deadline over all of them, even though people
seem to be raving about both the Jets and the

(19:41):
Cowboys and what they did yesterday at the NFL trading deadline.
All right, we'll talk more about that coming up on
the show. Let's find out what else is on tap?
What's on TEP, what's on TEP. Well, now that the
deadline is over, we have all the pieces in place,
it's time to make Super Bowl picks. Here on the show,
we have a Green Jacket draft coming your way today

(20:02):
at nine o'clock. It's hump day, so we will start
really diving into this Arizona Cardinals matchup. Greg Bell will
join us at seven oh five. He'll also have thoughts
on the trade deadline, the fact that Tarik Wooland and
boy A Mafe are still part of the roster, and
the fact that the Arizona Cardinals named Jacoby Brissett their
starting quarterback.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
For this game.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Is there more to it than just a one game designation.
We'll talk about that coming up at six forty five.
Huskies will be at Wisconsin this Saturday, so after a
bye week, they are back in action. Cam Cleeland will
join us to talk about that at eight o'clock. Sounders
in Minnesota United will not settle their series until Sunday.
Of course, that series is even at one match apiece.

(20:45):
Cracking back in action tonight they'll take on the Sharks.
How about a winning regulation that would be nice. Yeah,
let's do that against the Sharks tonight at seven. Mariners
did pick up the option on Andres Munjos. That was
a no brainer. We'll talk more about that coming up
on the show. And college football playoff rankings, the first
official ones are out, and as we discussed yesterday at

(21:06):
six thirty, we will now discuss the results of the
first rankings at six thirty today. We'll do it next.
It's Chuck and Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three
point three KJRFM. Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Two losses first two games of the season, one on
the literal last play of the game, the other on
the virtual last play of the game after missing an
extra point, and they're getting some respect because of how
they played and probably out tied those losses and the
way they look now. They look like a dominant football
team running seeing out with Stanton, etc.

Speaker 8 (21:40):
They could probably point to, well, hey, they were out
some guys, they didn't know who they were new DC
And now all those players and coaches that are in
the rum are saying, look how they're playing now eight
games into the eight games later, they are completely different.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Unailats out of the ball Number nine, the Oregon Ducks.

Speaker 7 (21:57):
Now this is a team I was really interested to
see because while they had the loss to Indiana in
a great game in Eugene, not a lot of other
things on their resume, overtime against Penn State, which at
the time looked like a pretty good win.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
But now since then when it does not look great,
they went over time with Penn State.

Speaker 8 (22:15):
I think everybody acknowledged the firepower and there's no one
that denies the ceiling that Oregon has. On their best
day we sought against Rutgers, but right now their best
wins against a five and three Northwestern team, and that's
no disrue.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Oh, some of the chatter last night from the college
football rankings, the first ones that came out. Of course,
they really do mean nothing. It's just to give you
a fun gauge of the temperature of the water.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
I think these mean more than preseason polls.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
They absolutely mean more than preseason polls. And so we
know that Ohio State right now, according to the committee,
is the number one ranked team, the team to chase
Indiana's number two, an m number three in Alabama number four.
Of course, you heard some of the chatter about the
bigger surprise. Notre Dame entered at number ten. Not a surprise,
but it was very intriguing to see where the Committee

(23:05):
would start them in this process byu number seven with
their undefeated record, and they will face Texas Tech this weekend,
who's number eight, and then Oregon all the way down
to number nine. And yeah, everything they said about the
Oregon Duck resume we discussed at six point thirty true, true,
not picking on our rivals down south, it's just the

(23:28):
absolute truth. And now we're going off of actual information,
resume strength, and not just who looks better on paper.
That's the idea behind waiting till week number ten to
dive into college football playoff rankings. And so we got
our first show yesterday. There'll be a second one Tuesday.
The only one that matters is the final one. Let's

(23:50):
take a look at the rest of your headlines here
on this Wednesday. They're brought to you by Frost Brewed
Corps Light Chose Chill. The Mariners picked up the option
of Andre s Munjos about seven MIL for this upcoming season.
That was a no brainer. One of the best closers
in all of Major League Baseball, he'll be back with
the ms hore. Polanco has until tomorrow to figure out

(24:11):
whether or not his option is going to be picked up.
It won't be, but it does give the Mariners a
little time to try to work out a deal that
would extend him beyond this upcoming season potentially. And so still,
we haven't heard word on what's going on with Jorge.
Perhaps he just enters into free agency and takes the

(24:32):
highest bid. We shall see. We'll talk more about that
later on in the show Cracking or Back in Action
tonight against the Sharks. Al Kiniski will join us today
at nine thirty to discuss it. Sounders in Minnesota won't
play their third and final match of their first round
MLS series until Sunday. Of course, that series is even
at a match a piece. Huskies will take on the

(24:53):
Wisconsin Badgers this Saturday, So after a bye, they're back
in action against the lowly that's very surprising to say,
lowly Wisconsin Badgers. Cam Cleveland will join us today at
eight o'clock. Tomorrow, the new week of the National Football
League season gets started with the Vegas Raiders and the
Denver Broncos in Colorado. And it is hump Day, so

(25:14):
we start to dive into the Seahawks and the Cardinals
more thoroughly today. And of course the Seahawks will have
Reek Woollen boy A Mafe still on the roster. We
know that the Cardinals are going to start Jacoby Brissett
and not Kyler Murray in the game on Sunday. And
we also know that the trade deadline is over and
the Seahawks did not part with anyone. They added somebody

(25:37):
at the deadline in Rashid Shahed. Time to talk about
him and all of these topics with our Seahawks insider
Greg Bell. All right, well, a lot to discuss here today. Yeah,
he didn't fail us. John Schneider gave you something to
write about yesterday he pulled off a trade for Rashid Shahhed,
and there's a there's a who question to ask here,

(25:59):
But I think the biggest question is why, why that position,
why that player, when you could have gone in a
lot of different directions here at the deadline.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Schematics, they've had face.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
They've been facing stack boxes with the safety down in
the box against the run.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
We've talked about how they run more.

Speaker 6 (26:17):
Than anybody in the league, and so defenses are honoring
that and they have done that. That they've succeeded in
the run game in that regard is that teams play
the run against them.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
And their goal here is to have another.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
Off take the top off a defense receiver, big play
guy when he hits for touchdowns there usually thirty forty yards,
speedster guy, to send him down the field and stretch
the defense out and hopefully entice defenses to play more
too high safety coverages and get that extra guy out
of the box so then they can run more. And oh,
by the way, if we can hit big plays for

(26:51):
fifty yard touchdowns on the way to doing that even better,
that's the thinking here. The fact that he was in
Kobe k system with the same last year is another
factor here. The fact that he's relatively cheap ending his
two year contract he got his exclusive rights free agent
a couple of years ago is another factor here. He
made the All Pro team first Team All Pro in

(27:11):
twenty twenty three. That was just one year after he
was an undrafted rookie free agent at a Weaver State
and then he exploded. He's also done some kickoff return
and punt returns. But the scheme of the offense that
the Seahawks want to be able to run the ball
against fewer people near the line of scrimmage, and they
think this wide receiver throwing deep to him may force

(27:33):
defenses to have to put a second safety deep to
guard against that. Between Smith and Jigba and Horton and
now a deeper threat, we'll see if it works that way.
I think that's the thinking here, not just here's a
receiver and go get touchdowns for us, but to change
how defenses have played Seattle so far.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
I think it's fascinating move. I know in training camp
we talked about who so many times, who's going to
take the lid off of the defense. Who's the deep threat.
Well you've got one now at what expense. Who's gonna
lose time? Is it Horton, is it Cooper Cup? How
are they gonna how are they going to divide this
thing up?

Speaker 6 (28:08):
Well, my first reaction was, this may speak that Cooper
Cup's pretty injured and he's going to miss a couple
more games. He was dealing with a heel issue heading
into last week, and then during practice last week he
got a hamstring injury.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
So he has two leg issues. He's thirty two years old.

Speaker 6 (28:22):
Of course, injuries are why the Rams gave up on
him a couple of years into his massive contract after
being the Super Bowl MVP. So we're seeing glimpses of
why the Rams said we don't want to pay you
the top dollar anymore. I'm not saying Cup's done for
the year, but this does suggest that they believe Cup is,
at least for now, not a viable option and perhaps

(28:44):
might not play the next couple games. Now, I mean
this is a half year rental. They're going to try
out Shaheed for the next nine games to see if
they want to re sign him. And if your second
receiver is injured, okay, so be it. Horton's still a
developmental project. Yes, two touchdowns against Washington. Yes, he has
a kickoff a pump return for a touchdown against the

(29:05):
Saints that's set a team record. But he's also had
his own injuries, including once after he got to the Seahawks,
and then of course the injury of Colorado State and
knee injury that ended his season early last season. So
it's not like there were cruising at wide receiver. Smith
and Jigba masked a lot of issues at wide receiver, but.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
They aren't exactly deep.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
Now they can add some depth and have enough if
teams want a bracket coverage and really devote a lot
of attention to Smith and Jigba as they will with
him leading the league in reception receiving yardage. Now they've
got a guy that can make defenses pay on doing that.
And that's also part of the thinking here.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks insiders. So much
to discuss with this football team here today, of course,
coming off the NFL trading deadline. If you want to
complete coverage of the Seahawksthewstribune dot Com as that for you. Also,
you can follow him at g Bell Seattle there on X.
There was talk yesterday that John is working mind the
scenes on a monster trade for perhaps a defensive player.

(30:06):
Did you find out any information on that?

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Well, he was.

Speaker 6 (30:11):
He was seeking what teams might give him for Boy
Mafe and Greek Woolan. He would have loved if the
Raiders would have been us offering Max Crosby. That obviously
wasn't happening, So he was in on fishing for anything
and everything in that regard. But came down to there's

(30:31):
a potential, depending on how many free agents they signed
coming in this next offseason, that they could get compensation
picks for Mafe and Woman by letting him leave his
free agents. And in the meantime they still roll for them.
Mafay still a starting edge outside linebacker, and we've seen
all the injuries in the defensive secondary that even when
they've tried to bench Woolan they haven't been able to

(30:52):
because they've had.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
To plan them.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
So they are going to be able to keep them
engaged by not trading them, and that doesn't mean that
they won't just let them walk with the potential getting
a fourth fifth round Comppic that would probably be roughly
what they gave up to get Shahat. Some of the
they right now have four draft picks. They have one

(31:14):
in each first three rounds next spring, and then a
six round pick rounds one, two, three, and six one
in each of those. There's no way in hell that
John Schneider is going to go into that draft of
four picks. Now, the COMPIC formula is not going to
matter for next year. It's going to matter for twenty
twenty seven. The receive the free agents that you sign
and the free age that you lose for the spring

(31:34):
of twenty twenty six applies for the twenty twenty seven draft.
So the COMPIC formula is still unsettled for this coming
year on whether the NFL is going to grant it.
It's a it's not even worth mentioning how comvoluated that
system is, but suffice to say that between trades and
potential compicks, the Seawks are going to have more than
those four picks when the draft starts next year, and

(31:55):
they think down the road, it's something of the deferred
payback they may get between Mafia and Woolen, something of
the fourth and fifth round picks in twenty twenty seven
back that they just gave up in twenty six. We'll
see how it all works out. But to the Seahawks thinking,
in Schnyder's thinking, it's worth getting a game breaking receiver
to augment Smith and Jigba, to potentially open up the

(32:16):
run game to Prehent potentially re sign for a fourth
and third day pick, fourth and fifth round that we
can potentially get back the following year. That's kind of
the strategical.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Thinking on this trade.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Yeah, being a professional athlete seems like a pretty good gig,
and I think for the most part, it's a pretty
damn good gig. But there is something about their lives
that we don't We regulars don't really have to concern
ourselves with at any moment. We can just be told
you're going to go work for this company and live
in this city, and so, I don't know. Individually, I'm
sure some people do recognize that. Some athletes do say, hey,

(32:50):
it's a business and I'm prepared for anything. But there's
got to be some hurt feelings involved too. So, long
way of asking, how have Mafe and Woolen handled being
in in trade rumors for now a month.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Well, woman is very active on social media.

Speaker 6 (33:08):
He sees and hears everything, so he's been pretty plugged
into all this, and he's been affected in the war
and they've said that he's been a good soldier, and
it's been easy to keep him engaged again because he's
been playing so much. He was going to get benched
in week two, but then Witherspoon got hurt in the opener,
didn't play in Pittsburgh's Week two and then Wolan had

(33:29):
to start. He was going to get benched together night.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
I mean, he did not start. We mentioned this.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
He was the dimeback, the sixth of six defensive backs
who played four snaps before Job got his concussion in
the second quarter, and then he played the rest of
the game basically Wolle did. So his snapcounts are still
in the ninety plus percents because even when they're trying
to sit up something, injuries have happened to need him back,
and so he's been able to stay engaged in the

(33:54):
game plan. And I'm on the field and Mafe saying
thing Like I said, he's remained the starting outside line
back or opposite Derek Hall. He just has not had
any production at that spot. And I mentioned yesterday I
thought that he was potentially a trade candidate because of
the position he plays. In the fact he's still on
his rookie deal and his production in previous seasons. But

(34:17):
the fact that he's still starting doesn't mean he's exactly
sulking because he's got a game plan, he's got a
team to prepare for, and he's going to go play
sixty seventy eighty snaps on Sunday. So in that regard, yes,
But to your point, they are human. They're also in
their mid twenties. Neither of them that I know of,
or married that would have to grab a whole family
and move him across the country, So that's not that

(34:39):
big of impact as it is for some other players.
But yeah, especially in Wollam's case, he's hurt all of
this for sure. And he's been a chip on the
shoulder guy anyway, right because he was a former wide
receiver at Texas San Antonio that everyone didn't think should
be in the NFL as a corner he Carroll makes
him a project and makes him a Pro Bowl guy
as a rookie, as a fifth round pick. So he's

(34:59):
used to having a chip on his shoulder. He's carrying that.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
I'm sure Craig Bell as with us, our Seaawks insider
a segment nearly every day here on Chucking Buck, brought
to you by the Delacado family of wines. All right,
so let's talk about the Cardinals. It is hump day.
They did make a decision earlier in the week, which
is a little interesting in and of itself, and it's
obviously very interesting what the Cardinals are thinking behind the
scenes about their quarterback position now and in the future.

(35:25):
But also, I mean, these are two different types of
quarterbacks to prepare for. Are you a little surprised that
Jonathan Gannon announced on a Tuesday who's starting Sunday?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
A little bit?

Speaker 6 (35:37):
But then I look back and I saw what the
context was. One Gannon wants his team clear coming off
a short week. I mean, they got back from Dallas
early Tuesday morning from that wind Monday night, and now
they're headed right to Seattle on Saturday. So he wanted
them to be clear on who their quarterback is. And
then after he announced Brissett as the quarterback on Sunday
against the Seaux, he then went on to infer the

(36:00):
Murray is not healthy yet and it would be a
while before he's going to be able to return. And
reports have since come out of Phoenix that Murray could
miss another two or three or four games with his injuries,
so the foot injury, So that puts some more context
into why Brissette was the clear choice so early in
the week. Murray is still the leading rusher for the Cardinals,
and that's a problem. And he's missed the left well,

(36:22):
he missed this past game, He's going to miss the
next few. He only has one hundred and seventy three
yards rushing for the season, and that leads the team.
And if you want to see what's wrong with Arizona,
they'd start there. Arizona had lost five in a row
until that Monday night game against the Cowboys, when Brissett
led him to victory and rather easily, twenty seven to seventeen.
But before that they'd lost a narrow one point game

(36:44):
they should have won at San Francisco. They blew it
at the end. The Seahawks beat him down in the
desert on the final play after the seax and explicitly
let him back into a twenty to six game at
the end. The Seahorks really dominated most that game, as
we remember then, they lost by one point to the
Titans four points at the cold who've been rolling until
the Steelers beat them the other day and then four
points they lost to the Packers at the end, so

(37:06):
they lost five in a row by like all four
points are fewer. That's been really frustrating. But when I
look at them statistically and how I know Gannon wants
to play.

Speaker 3 (37:17):
Their run game is the biggest problem day.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
Mercado has become their number one back. They've had injuries.
Of course, Connor's out for the season that was supposed
to be their number one back. Brissette needs a run game.
Any quarterback does. But they they're gonna I don't know
that they'll try again. Teams are Seattle's reputation on defense
starting to precede them as the number one rush defense,
and teams are not even trying. The Commanders couldn't even

(37:40):
try because they were down twenty eight to nothing in
the second quarter. There that I but Arizona needs to
start running the ball to be more competitive and consistent
and start winning some of these games they're losing by
a few points. That is job won for Seattle. Keeps
the Cardinals the way they've been, one dimensional, no run game,
and go get Brissette. And I mentioned yesterday, Leonard Williams

(38:00):
and friends. They get to rush differently Jacoby Brissett than
they would have Kayler Murray. When they prepare for Murray,
they got to rush outside in. They got to worry
about contain and pass rush discipline. They can't run straight
up the field because Murray will run outside of them.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Not so with this cat.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
Bessett is more of a pocket guy. And that's what
Leonard Williams and the Marcus Lawrence and those guys love.
And when you asked me yesterday who they'd rather face,
absolutely the pass rusher. I'd rather face a guy who's
going to stay in the pocket that they can just
run up the field and go get Yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
All right, last minute, And you probably need some time
to dig around on this question, but I'm going to
ask it anyway. How much should sit Is Shaheed going
to play on Sunday? And will he play special teams?

Speaker 6 (38:44):
I expect him to be the number two receiver. My
guess is the Cup is probably not going to practice today,
and my guess this Cup is the Seahawks are seeing
him is maybe not playing. We'll find out more this week,
but it would the trade pretends that he heat is.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Going to be right in the middle of it. Away.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
He just played five catches the other day on nine
targets for the Saints and there lost to the Rams.
So he's right in regular stride of plan. No injury concerns,
although he did have a knee injury the end of
the season after six games last year. So special team
is a good question because Horton has been their hunt
returner and they've split between Draek Young, who's now injured
and others. George Hallani as a kickoff returner. Seat has

(39:23):
done both, and that is one of my questions I'll
have today on exactly what he's going to do in
special teams and returns.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Oh, never a dull moment with this team, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
No, that couldn't be.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
Yeah, that makes it better better than being better than
being oh to eighty.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
I love it. Ever since I came to There's always
something something this is this organization stirs up.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Yeah, exactly, Well, good job being solid. I thought Bucky
was not.

Speaker 6 (39:47):
Coming in because he was just in mourning that they
don't have Mitch Garver to kick around anymore.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
Well, that and Oregon's being underrated and all sorts of things. Yeah,
I think, yeah, I think there are a lot of
reasons for him to concoct the tree fell on my
house story that he came up with. Thank you, Sarah.
We'll talk to you tomorrow, all right, Twelve man round

(40:13):
table tomorrow at eight o'clock with Creig Bell and Hugh
Millen and I tree did not fall on Bucky's house,
but it is the reason why he's not with us today.
He did have a storm hit the house and he
couldn't get out of his property, so he turn into
lumber buck and chop some things away here this morning.
So anyway, we've we've been here before, Ashley and I

(40:35):
know how to do this.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
We got this.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
Yeah, So we appreciate Greg. If you want to follow him,
you should do so. All sorts of coverage on the

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Your own for Husky Football proudly presents our weekly visit
with a voice of the dogs, Cam Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Wah purfor Let's.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
Go run to you by Warrior Injury Logs, Battle Tested.
Now Here's Chuck and Bug were the former Husky tight end.
On Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
All right, eight o'clock hour Here on this glorious humpday,
Chuck pal Ashley Ryan with you know Bucky Jacobson today
feels like he's missing a lot of Cam Cleveland conversations
here as of late.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
H Ginger on Ginger crying right there.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
I wonder what's going on there, Wonder if the two
of them have had words behind the scenes. Yeah, probably,
Uh there, Jacobson tough to get along with. Cam Cleveland
joins us right here as he does every Wednesday to
talk some Huskies football. Come morning, sir, Tuckie, how are you?

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Man? He's just by yourself today, worries by yourself.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Just Ashley and I just you know, I know that.

Speaker 9 (42:33):
Yeah, you know, she's always there, the most consistent, most reliable.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
I am alone in the studio.

Speaker 6 (42:40):
I am that.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
We don't replace Bucky with just like a passer by
just to sit in here.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
And yeah, Donny, it's too hard.

Speaker 9 (42:49):
I heard there are some tree issues, and you know
that sounds a little the man needs to you know,
you got to take care of that stuff. You got
to limb that stuff up and be careful. Trees, man,
they get pretty dangerous.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
Yeah. Why wouldn't he just hold it up all night long?
If he was worried about you would think so.

Speaker 9 (43:03):
Yeah, I mean he looks like a lumberjack. I think
you'd be able to figure it out.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Well, he didn't put in the effort right exactly. He
didn't even try it when it was falling. All right, Well,
let's talk some Huskies football here. I mean, are you
refreshed from the bye week? Do you feel the team
is refreshed from the bye week?

Speaker 9 (43:25):
That's a great question. I'm very refreshed from the bye week.
I think we should have ten bye weeks. No, No,
I'm kidding. I like a second bye week late in November.
I think it's it's that recharge button or reset. And
now you've got to make a run. You look at
the schedule. You got to go to Madison, which I've
never been there. I'm looking forward to going there. It's

(43:46):
it's you hear a lot about what that atmosphere.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
Is going to be like.

Speaker 9 (43:49):
Yeah, and a team that's certainly is is reeling Wisconsin.
The word is they might even start a true freshman
Caleb Smith or time starry Carter Smith because they've had
so many quarterback issues. Their offensive line has had seven
different starting lineups this season. They've struggled, but that still

(44:10):
doesn't mean that if you go on the road, it
doesn't matter in the Big Ten and not playing in
an interesting environment, in a fun environment, Supposedly there's something
they do called to jump around there I don't know
if you guys have seen that. I go around supposed
to be fun around. I just want to go to
Madison win a.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
Football Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
I want to go to.

Speaker 9 (44:28):
Madison and win a football game and come back and
make a run here to the end of the season.
And yeah, now with the college football playoff rankings out, yeah,
it feels very interesting how things could aligned.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
Yeah, We've talked about this a little bit earlier in
the week, but here they said at number twenty three,
they do look like they have three winnable games. You
still got to play them, and then all of a
sudden you got a chance to really, you know, make
your case by beating Oregon, which the committee clearly wasn't
all that impressed with with their resume of this point

(45:04):
and the season, nor should they be impressed with their
resume to this point in the season. So do you
think maybe the stars are aligning where the Washington Huskies
could be playing their best football and the twelfth game
of the season face Oregon with a shot at the
playoffs and have an opportunity to pull the upset and
actually get into the postseason this year.

Speaker 9 (45:24):
I mean, there there is the path we've heard that
term before. Right, there is a path or even Oregon's
best win it right now arguably is Northwestern. That sounds
about right for them, But they have to play Iowa
at twelve o'clock start nine am their time. That will
be the game that will really set them apart. But Washington,
and we look at this, how this sets up, and

(45:46):
I see some of these elimination games as we get
towards the end of the season. The player in me,
even though I'm old and I'm not a player anymore,
has the one game at a time mentality more than
ever because he can't slip up on any of these games.
You cannot lose your focus and take for granted any
one of these teams, knowing that you're going to have

(46:07):
UCLA Purdue who are obviously aren't the top of the
Big Ten, but all they want to do is embarrass
you and give you a loss. So at this point,
going to Wisconsin is all that matters. And we can
and week out and if you get to the end
of the season, this is a giant if and you're
nine and two in Oregon's ten and one riddled me,

(46:28):
this is that not a play in game? Yeah, I
mean it feels like it is.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Cam Cleyland is with us
right here on checking back in the morning, talking some
Husky football. What else stood out to you about the
college football rankings if anything last night.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
I mean, I have my tidbits of it.

Speaker 9 (46:50):
I think that I think listening to a few prognosticators
try to argue analytics and use analytics as their theory,
and then one thought there might have been eye test
isn't worth it? And the argument for Texas A and
M Who's okay? I mean, there's this, there's a lot
of guessing and a lot of understanding. It's the first

(47:10):
one out, so everyone's going to label what they think
is the biggest metric. And to try to knock off
Ohio State and say that they are undeserved is lunacy,
complete lunacy. And Booger MacFarlane is lunatic. I'm just gonna
call it what it is. He's the one that said that.
He's the one that said back in the day, Washington
was playing basketball on grass after we beat the crap

(47:32):
out of Texas two years in a row. So let's
just let's let's just really let college football evolve for
about another two weeks and things start to settle in.
But I didn't mind any of the rankings. I like
how we don't play a game and get ranked. So
I guess the secret was have a bye week and
things get moved up.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Well, the thing Washington has going for them, they don't
have a bad loss this year, and now they've got
a nice win home over Illinois rather convincing one as well.
But you still got to add to that resume. You
can't lose. There's no room to slip up for the
rest of the way, all right, So let's talk about
the Wisconsin Badgers. Man, I just never imagined that they

(48:16):
could slip this far. I mean, that was just an
engine that hummed up there in Madison, Wisconsin, and they
played the exact same way. They always had these corn
fed offensive linemen that mowed people down like you know,
threshers through wheat, and they always had two or three
ball carriers that it didn't matter which one got the start.

(48:37):
That guy was going to go for fifteen hundred yards
this year. I just thought that that was such a
well oiled machine that there wasn't going to be any
bogging it down. But it's bogged down right now. Is
it still the old, same old Wisconsin Badgers just not
as good or is there something different about this Luke
Fickle brand of the Badgers that isn't working well.

Speaker 9 (48:58):
He got demolish this year unfortunately with injuries. I think
they lost eight of their projected starters from the opening
game of the year, and that I mean eight starters.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
On both sides. That's a massive run.

Speaker 9 (49:11):
They had a quarterback they went to the transfer portal,
Danny O'Neill, who is now now a guy disgrundled and
checked out and this would be their fourth starting quarterback
of the season with a young freshman. He's a four
star freshman, Carter Smith. But their philosophy could be all right,
we don't run the ball very well. When I say

(49:33):
they don't run the ball, they average three point two
yards to carry. It's not great. They don't throw the
ball very well. They're the last ranked offense, not only
in the Big Ten, but an FBS. That's not great either.
So there's a lot of things that this coach has
to figure out. The offensive line has been riddled with
injuries also, But there's nothing like a spark a young

(49:56):
freshman can bring if he does start, and that is
the room. However this team looks. I'm just I'm hoping
at this point. I don't know how you feel about this, Chuck,
that we don't get to see even more coaches fired
for things they can't control, which are injuries, transfers, all
these things, disgruntled players, and when you go on losing
streaks like what they've gone through. I don't know where

(50:19):
we're at right now with the amount of coaches that
are continuing to be fired and the amount of money
that they're paying to get rid of these coaches, and
how are these players supposed to rely on the fact
that a coach will be there who recruited and let
them develop. And I think Luke Fickle is a very
good coach, and Wisconsin's a very good place to play football,
and it's a storied program. But you're in the Big

(50:41):
Ten and it's tough, and it's been tough for them
for years because they can't get by Ohio State, Michigan.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
Well, and here we are, well coach knew Eyes I
brought up I mean, if some of these other guys
lost their jobs, I mean, Luke Fickle seems like a
guy that obviously is going to lose his job to
let that proud Badger brand fall that far on your watch.
And yet coach new eisl said put his foot in
the grounds, like, no, he's not going to be let go.

(51:08):
Wisconsin's not going to play that game that LSU and
others are playing where they'll eat as much money as
they desire to get the right guy and the job.
That's not a sustainable path. Everybody needs to recognize that,
and apparently Wisconsin realizes that even if other programs and
other boosters don't right.

Speaker 9 (51:28):
And it needs to be thought of that way because
if you're constantly chasing, and the issue is the ones
on the outside that are making the decisions, you see
Scott Wood where gets fired at LSU. If you're chasing
this illusion that there is a young coach that's going
to direct you to the national championship, okay, or immediately
get in. But I think now with the accelerated transfer portal,

(51:50):
where guys are going to be could be legitimately in
a college football playoff run to win a national championship,
and you're trying to recruit your own guys to stay
on the team. That's insane to me, and how some
of these rules are set, and so we're gonna we're
still in a little bit of the wild West. When
with signing days moved up and all of that, it
accelerates the expectations of boosters and their pocketbooks. And unfortunately,

(52:14):
that's where we are and that's what we're seeing right now.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
No, No Camp Cleveland is with us former Husky tied
end and color analysts for your Washington Huskies right here
on the flagship Sports Radio ninety three point three KHRFM.
His conversation with us every Wednesday, brought to you by
Warrior Injury Law, Battle Tested. Look, I mean when Jonah
Coleman started this season and the expectations were enormous for him,

(52:39):
he looked like against Colorado State, like Bo Jackson in
the original Tech Mobile, Like he looked unstoppable out there
on the football field. Well, it's now been since UC
Davis that he's had one hundred yard rushing game. What's
the problem. How is Jonah Coleman not getting one hundred
yard rushing games? And he better get one this weekend.

Speaker 9 (53:00):
Well, for me, it was it was the change in
Ohio State when Carver and John Mills went down, and
I think Pockey's done a very good job. But when
you lose Carver, if you watch him on film, guys,
it's he's a difference maker. He's a big time difference maker.
And then you take Quinton Moore out and he goes
down in Michigan and that changed how the game plan

(53:23):
and how you run everything. Quinton Moore is an essential
part of strongside runs as a tight end. You can
go back to last year and I don't care how
good you think you are or how good it is.
Jonah Coleman is only as good as the group he
has in front of him. If guys are blocking air,
are missing on the inside, and teams are loading the box,

(53:45):
I mean, Demon Williams is four hundred and thirty yards
on the ground already a running quarterback. It's he's taken
up a lot of those original calls that would have
been handed off to Jonah and Demond is a extended
those some inside quarterback runs and he's taken a few
of those away. With how Jed has had to call

(54:06):
the game, we now have a healthy left side. We
have the original group back from the starting two games
through that UC Davis run. In my opinion, now and
I don't want to say the biggest projection. We will
start to see what this offense is supposed to really
be and feel confident about the run game of Jonah
Colemany because you are healthy upfront and guys had this

(54:27):
week to get better. Now we see a Husky offense
that's gonna hum And.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
Yet it's Demond Williams. I mean, the two losses when
he couldn't get his running game going. Why is it
in football? I mean, when you see what the Huskies
win when Demon Williams is running to go with his passing,
why is it just not that easy in football to say, Demon,
you've got to run.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Well.

Speaker 9 (54:52):
I think it's good. But he went up against two
excellent defenses in those losses in Ohio State. They had
a very good game plan upfront.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (55:00):
And I also think this is me thinking, which I
try to do sometimes.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
Is right everyone around you?

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Guys?

Speaker 9 (55:12):
You guys, hey, I know we're on radio. Do you
see that small little cloud floating You know that that
pops up mysteriously that most of the time it's empty.
Most of the time it's empty. But I will tell
you demand was not fully healthy at Michigan to be
running around Okay, he got hurt at the end of
the previous week, and uh. Instructions and thoughts were like,

(55:34):
I can't take a ton of hits.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (55:36):
And then we saw versus Illinois one of the biggest
hits on a run. So the kid is he's reckless
and not in a bad way because he's so crazy athletic.
The teams that have corralled it, they have done a
job of making sure their athletes have spied him, and
they play shallow underneath, okay, and deep over the top.

(55:58):
So all those facets mean that you have to have
to be able to run the football with Jonah Coleman
to get it started, because that changes how defenses start
to call. And do I want to see Demond Williams
win football games with his feet? Absolutely? If you're that electric,
you take advantage of This is college this is in

(56:19):
the NFL. We saw Jaden Daniels. If you run in
the NFL, all bets are off. Okay, that's the fact
that Lamar Smith has been able to do it so
long and stay upright. It's incredible. But he even is
starting to see what happens when you run in college football.
You have an athletic quarterback. You take advantage of it
one hundred out of one hundred times, and this is
what he needs to do in the stretch run towards

(56:40):
the end of the year, because it's a difference maker
of speed and extension of play that that is what
you have to do. And you call plays, guys, for
your best athletes. You don't call play because it sounds good.
You call plays like, hey, if this isn't there, go run, go,
get get a first down, get six yards. Just you
don't need to hold it and try to get everybody

(57:01):
involved all the time. Sometimes you're just a better guy
than the guys around you.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
You feel good right about a strong kick, a strong
finish to this season six and two coming off the
buy schedule shapes up nice and then you get to
close with THEA Ducks and possibly with a lot at steak.
You feel good about this kick, right, I do?

Speaker 9 (57:21):
I think that you had a bye week at the
right time. You got a great win versus Illinois. You're
getting healthier at the end of the season. Quinton Moore
has been reported he's going to come back healthy. Availability
is the number one ability in all of sports, especially
in football. We're all available it's setting up to be
an opportunity.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
Now, we just do your job.

Speaker 9 (57:43):
As what our coaches, Coach Belichick used to say every
morning when you'd walk in, just do your blanking job.
That's it, and that's what we're supposed to do.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
Do your job, all right, man, excellent stuff, Thank you, sir,
We appreciate it. Have fun in Madison, Wisconsin, and we'll
be listening.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
All right, wonderful Buck yell later, all.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Right, can't Clearlank joining us right here on Chuck and
Buck in the Morning. A segment brought to you by
Warrior Injury Law, led by Attorney Rob Eddens, a fifth
generation Pacific Northwesterner and Marine Corps veteran graduated from you
dub in Seattle U School of Law. If you've been
injured called two five three Warrior Warrior Injury Law. Yeah,
it is battle tested. I sort of like the idea

(58:25):
of when Bucky doesn't come in, we just like put
just like a random person. Now they can't be on
the show. Yeah, I don't want in case they're terrible, right,
I can't risk that. But just to keep us company,
just to have like just.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
To sit there, Blaine put a fake beard on.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
Him yes, and we just refer to him as Bucky though.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Yeah, I think he's a good idea, just to you know,
have his presence.

Speaker 5 (58:49):
Just and let a listener submit, like, Hey, we just
found out Bucky's out today, So whoever can get down here.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Whoever wants to be Bucky today can be Bucky.

Speaker 1 (58:57):
Yeah, you got to provide your own fake beard.

Speaker 4 (58:59):
Though, maybe I'll give you a little bit of leeway
with some airtime at the moment you screw.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Up, Oh yeah, you're out. It's a yeah, we're putting
tape over your mouth.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
That's right, all right. Coming up next, more on yesterday's
trade for Rashid shah Heed as he's been added to
the Seahawks roster. Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM,
it's jugging Ashley with you. No Bucky, but he will
be joining us. We'll get an update from his yard.
Coming up here at nine o'clock. We're gonna have a
Green Jacket draft. We're picking Super Bowl teams. Also, want

(59:31):
to let you know Terry Fader is going to be
performing Saturday, November fifteenth at talalap Resort Casino. You can
get tickets at Ticketmaster and service fee free at t
Lalup and Quilcita Casino one club desks. He's that Vegas
impersonator who also a dozen personations while doing Ventrilli Qui

(59:52):
Ventralism with Vngela Kai. Yeah. Yes, yeah, so it's an
interesting act. He's obviously made quite a name for himself.
And if you want to go see him November fifteenth,
tickets available right now at a red hot price. I
don't think there's going to be a red hot price
for Terrek's Schooble when he becomes a free agent. As
a matter of fact, the rumors are he's seeking ten years,

(01:00:14):
four hundred million minimum. Oh, that seems like something the
Mariners would never do.

Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
Well, Yeah, especially because Jim Bowden was on with Softy
yesterday and was like, yeah, the Tigers and schoobl were
three hundred million dollars apart.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
I was like, I thought to myself, like, what are
they trying to pay him? Nothing? Like, how could you
be three hundred million apart? Now you've answered the question.

Speaker 4 (01:00:40):
Yeah, he's seeking I mean, that's and that's about right.
I mean the last big offer was Moto at twelve years,
three twenty five. He's Yamamoto's not coming off back to
back cy Young Awards, Yama Moto's not at the you know,
as accomplished as what Tarrek Scouble has been in so
ten years. Four hundred million is probably what you're gonna

(01:01:01):
have to pay for the best pitcher, arguably in the world.
And so is this something that the Mariners would be
willing to do. I don't think so. And yet there
are an awful lot of people, including Adam Jude who
wrote about it and he covers the team on a
daily basis, and then Buster Only apparently just casually brought

(01:01:23):
it up in a conversation about Trek Scooble, just kind
of listing off teams that might be in the running
for a Trek Scooble trade this offseason since Detroit doesn't
want to pay him the big exorbitant salary going forward.
And it doesn't quite feel like a fit to me.
It just doesn't feel like something the Mariners are willing

(01:01:45):
to do. But maybe they've got a new lease on life.
Maybe after getting nine outs from the World Series and
seeing what Josh Naylor a rental can contribute to a
baseball team, and Gino Suarez a rental hits a rand
slam looked like the biggest hit in Mariner's history at
the time. Maybe they've turned over a new leaf. Maybe

(01:02:07):
they are willing to consider this. I don't think they're
going to consider ten years, four hundred million.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I don't think so they would.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
I would have to think that they all were sniffing
glue if they suddenly decided like, yeah, you know what,
we're going to just drop everything we've done for the
last forty some years, although they haven't been the same,
but you know, last twenty years, and we're just going
to do this.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
This seems like a great plan.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
I mean, I would I would think that somebody kidnapped
all of the actual Mariner's owners in front office and
replace them with clones, especially.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
Considering how set you seem to be at this position
with young and expensive players, you know, by comparison. Yeah,
and so would they be interested in just bringing him
over for one year? All right, let's kick the tires
on that number one if you Okay, So the Tigers
don't want to pay a guy forty million dollars a year,

(01:02:59):
that's all already had Tommy John surgery. Right, They're not
that type of organization. That's no problem. Dodgers, no problems. Yeah, Yankees,
no problem. Probably even the Blue Jays, no problem. But
the Tigers aren't one of those teams. Mariners aren't one
of those teams.

Speaker 3 (01:03:15):
And so.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
What.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
But but the Tigers are. You know, they were also
in the playoffs with us, right, and they also were
flirting with the best record in the American League for
much of the season. They're not about rebuilding, no, But
if you know you're not going to be able to
sign Schooble long term, what can you get for him

(01:03:38):
right now? So if the Mariners are like, okay, you
take Castillo's money off of our hands, and then we'll
give you a couple prospects as well, good not not
just the bottom of the barrel, but good prospects as well,
and a go for it kind of move. We'll take
Tarrek's Schooble for one year and you get a top

(01:04:00):
of the rotation starter to add to your you know,
or very minimum middle of the rotation starter and twenty
four million dollars per year that seems palatable versus forty
million dollars a year.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Yeah, now you've got me thinking this is going to happen.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
Well, I'm saying, I'm trying to figure out how it
can happen. So if you talk, if the Tigers are like, yeah,
we'll take Castillo and that money, but obviously we're going
to need some prospects as well. Here's the trade I
can compare it to last year. Kyle Tucker was available
from the Astros, and everybody in the sport knew it
was going to be a one year deal, and so

(01:04:37):
that drives down prices. That drives down the trade package
because you only get to keep the guy for one
year with no promise that you get to keep him
beyond well. They offered that the Astros got was Estoch Parades,
an established good third baseman, Hayden west Neski, a major

(01:04:58):
league ready pitcher who didn't quite work out or hasn't
worked out just yet, and then Cam Smith, who ended
up being there starting right fielder even though he had
just gotten drafted. But he was rated the number seventy
three prospect in sport. So that's a pretty good haul
for a guy you know you're only going to keep
for one year, and it feels like the Cubs are
only going to keep them for one year. Feels like

(01:05:19):
Kyle Tucker did not like his time in Chicago and
wants to leave. Yeah, So yeah, that's the kind of
package that you're looking at. Right, there is that sort
of deal. So it's that's and to go to the Astros.
The Astros are obviously still trying to compete. They weren't
looking to rebuild, and I got to believe that the
Tigers are in that same sandbox. So if you are

(01:05:40):
going to add to Castillo, what about this kind of
package Castillo Logan Evans Cole Young, that's your cam Smith
equivalent and dom canzone those for it for trek Schouble
for one year, one year, and you haven't added to
your You've actually subtracted from your payroll by making this

(01:06:04):
move because Scooble was projected in his last year of
arbitration to make twenty two and a half and the
Rock is scheduled to make twenty four and a half.
Plus you get rid of the contract that you would
ohe Luis beyond this year as well. So for one year,
do you want the best pitcher in the world to
add to this rotation?

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
You know wouldn't turn it down.

Speaker 4 (01:06:22):
Would you offer that package? Because I think that's probably
in the ballpark of where it would be.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
It has seems like an awful lot for one year.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
I'd have to think about it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
How about we just go after Kerry Carpenter so he
could stop murdering us every time we play them, because
I think you could get him for a lot less.
I think you could get him if they get rid
of Scooble. You could probably throw the Castillo thing in there,
and then you want to have to give up a
Cole Young, I don't think. Maybe it's Castillo, Canzone and
Evans and you get Carpenter who only makes three point

(01:06:54):
five million dollars and is in the first year of
his arbitration, so you've got years of much.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
More Marior in a friendly Doesn't that sound much more.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Like a Mariner deal? Plus we don't have to face
the guy anymore. You can't beat him join him.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Yeah, so agreed.

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
I think I think that makes more sense than pursuing Scooble.
But we shall see. I won't take it off the board,
but I don't think it's gonna happen, So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
I don't think so either.

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
I mean to be a bucket of cold water with
all these Schooble to Seattle, rumors floating around, but the
idea of him coming home where he went to college,
that's not a motivating factor. You know, whoever, whoever gets
him long term, is the team that's going to pay
the most money. Yeah, and I don't think that's going
to be us. All right, Coming up next, it's time
to green jacket draft. Yes, there's not a major sporting

(01:07:48):
event that's getting ready to get started, which is usually
what we draft, but we do this exercise every year
after the NFL trading deadline. It's time to make our
Super Bowl picks right now. Sports Radio ninety three points

How are you doing. I'm doing great. I'm doing great
and I can't wait to talk hockey with you. But
let's talk business first. You got a brand new sponsor,
Queen Anne Beer Hall, home of the legendary smash Burger,
and your pre, post and away game headquarters. Great place,
and there's gonna be some sponsoring, not just your segment,
but also some stuff during the broadcast.

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:09:23):
Absolutely, fantastic place to stop in before the game, after
the game when we're on the road. Food is fantastic.
I'll tell you the best pretzels in town. That's not
just what I what I talk about on the read,
but they are the best pret pretzels in town.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
Love them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
It's such a great atmosphere. It's just wide open and
fans can just hang out and you don't feel too crowded,
and yet it feels like you're all there as part
of one team.

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:09:47):
I like the fact that they have the long tables
where you just kind of pick a spot, sit down
with a group of people, meet some friends, and yeah,
very community.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
Like, just don't die to grab any of OL's press
do not touch my pretzels. Yeah, will twist you in
a pretzel if you take his pretzel. Well, good to
see you, and good to see this hot start that
this team is off to. I mean, Lane Lambert feels
like he certainly got his introduced a new style, and

(01:10:16):
the roster seems to be responding to Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 10 (01:10:19):
You know, he came in midsummer and basically said I'm
going to make this team better defensively. I'm going to
improve the special teams. And initially you're like, well, wait
a second, this team's going to sit back and wait
for attacking teams in their own zone. No, they're defensive
all over the ice. When you have the puck, they
want it back, whether that's in your own end, in
front of you either net doesn't matter, they want it

(01:10:40):
back and that's the defensive mindset they have. And then
on the special team side, the last three games, they
are four and eight on the power play. Now I'm
not a math guy, I think that's somewhere around fifty percent, yeah,
which is elite. In the NHL penalty kill over the
last two games one hundred percent six for six, So
the special teams are really clicking right now. You couple

(01:11:00):
that with that defensive structure that Lane's brought in, the
fact that Joey Decord's playing some of his best hockey
and they're still not fully healthy yet you still got
Jared mccannon on the sidelines, you still got Freddy Gudreau,
Ryker Evans. Like every team deals with injuries, but when
the team is playing this well and they've still got
a couple of top guys to come back, that's exciting.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
So they are playing that well because sometimes a goalie
that's hot, and I think we do not just a
good goaltender, but a good goaltender playing really good hockey
right now can mask a lot of flaws. But you're
saying it goes beyond that. It's not just Joey Decord
save in the day. No, it's absolutely not. When you
look at block shots, guys like Adam Larson, Jamie Alexiak,

(01:11:42):
you know, the players that tend to block a lot
of shots. You always need that, and goaltenders love that,
but they're playing a big part in not letting pucks
get through to Joey Decord or whoever's a net for
the crack. And Joey Tocord has come up with some
big saves, but he's also had some tough, tough goals
as well that he'd tell you, I'd like to have
that back again. That the fact that this team is

(01:12:03):
playing so well as a team is a lot of
the reason why they're getting over the top or at
least get into a situation against top teams where they're
getting into overtime and they're still coming out with a point.
We just played the highlight of the shot that Decord
had at scoring a goal. I mean, how you could
hear I was watching the television broadcast at the time.

(01:12:23):
You could hear Old Check he's got a shot. He
just blurts it out. How rare is that for a
goalie to have that opportunity, I mean, much less a
goal Joey talked about it after the game.

Speaker 10 (01:12:35):
It's the situation that dictates whether or not he's going
to shoot the puck. And by situation he means ideally
they're up by two goals, because you don't want to
give away a scoring opportunity down by one when you're
trying to score on an empty net. But probably ideally
you're down by two goals. But he's a left handed shot,
so when that puck comes behind the net over his
left shoulder, it was easy for him to turn up

(01:12:56):
ice and put a puck down at the other end.
So situation only, no one was attacking him when he
got the puck. He was on his forehand. He was
able to elevate the puck. It was one more bounce
from finding his way into that empty cage. Oh, that's
been great.

Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
The best is though after like NHL tweeted out, Joey,
the cord takes two shots on goal, and he retweeted
it and just wrote, Shooters Gonna shoot.

duplicate questions. We have ever on Tuesdays and you on

response to this same question that I asked him yesterday.
A lot of overtime games so far. Yeah, like six
of them, I think, and lost four of them. Is
that Laane Lambert feeling good because we're competing with everybody,
or is that Lane Lambert like we have got to

(01:14:02):
get two points out of some of these games and
not just come away with one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:14:06):
I think it's a little bit of both. I also
think it's the league in general. When you look at
the stats in the league over the first twelve games,
small sample size, but so far this season you're seeing
more one goal games than you've seen since two thousand
and eight. So not since the seventies, but over the
last seventeen years, it's trickled back to a lot of
one goal games. Now, is that the way that these

(01:14:27):
most of the teams are playing these tight defensive games.
I don't know, we'll see, but I think that the
Lane Lambert is getting his team comfortable being in one
nothing games midway through the games, two one games late
in the game. And I think when you can keep
a team below three goals against, it just makes the
opportunity to win so much better. You don't have to

(01:14:48):
put four to win five to four. You might only
have to put in two or three to win a
three to two games. So I think when you don't
have maybe a top ten forward in the league on
your team, you're relied on that. You're relying on that
depth of scoring where it can come from anybody, but
there's no real breakout guy on the team that's going
to take the team on its back and go score

(01:15:10):
three goals so you can win four to two. So
I think this style aligns very well with this This
personnel on this team.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
Maddy Baniers has been such a story the moment he
got drafted. Here. Maybe we've been a little disappointed with
the results we've seen the last couple of years, but
I get from your analysis that you feel like he's
having a bounce back season.

Speaker 10 (01:15:30):
So yeah, one hundred percent. And you might say, well, geez,
you know, two goals on on the stat sheets so far,
but you have to look at his complete game. His
complete game has grown this year. You see it when
he doesn't have the puck. You see it when he's attacking,
playing that defensive hockey. I talked about that lane Lambert
talk at Lane Lambert defensive hockey. He pursues pucks so

(01:15:52):
much stronger, so much faster. Now you watch how quickly
he gets up to speed. A lot of the things
that I think are better about his game this year
are when he doesn't have the pocket. It just makes
for a more well rounded two hundred foot player.

Speaker 4 (01:16:06):
Tolvenen doesn't have a goal yet. Should we be worried
about that? I mean, that's kind of his game.

Speaker 10 (01:16:13):
Well, again, it goes back to what I talked about
with the injuries, and you've got guys out that haven't
really been able to contribute that much. Tolvidan's one of
those guys. If he can start clicking, it just deepens
that offensive pool even even more so. I think what
we're going to see tonight in this game against San
Jose is they're going to put him up on the
top line with Beniers in every Is that because of

(01:16:34):
how well he's been playing, I don't think so. It's
probably because they're trying to unleash the tolv shot. Unleash
the unleash the Tolvy confidence. Get him some points in
this game. Now, if they go out and put a
bunch of points in, he might stay on that line
for a bit. But they're trying to break him open
a little bit to get him some confidence going into
this season.

Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
He got the Sharks tonight. You got him twice in
the next ten eleven days. They have been one of
the worst teams in the NHL the last couple of years,
in full rebuild mode. Where are they right now?

Speaker 10 (01:17:03):
Yeah, they're a team that is I wouldn't use the
word struggling. They are a team that's on the on
the other side of a rebuild. You've got a top
line of Tyler Toffoley, Macwin, Celebrini and Will Smith that
can hurt you every single time there on the ice. Offensively,
you've got a strong blue line out there. This is
a team that battles every game. They may not necessarily

(01:17:26):
look like the Florida Panthers last season, but they're a
team that's up and coming and if you sleep on them,
they'll burn you, especially with that top line.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
Uh, do you ever just just hang Benton on a hook,
just leave them in the locker? Have you ever been
tempted to do that?

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
Bet you just stop talking about Berkeley Cat and I'm
just going to leave you here. You ever do that?

Speaker 10 (01:17:48):
No, no, No, Mike, Betton and I have a lot
of good conversations and none of it involves hanging them
in a locker.

Speaker 1 (01:17:54):
You just don't say it out loud. You think about
it though, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Mike, Mike.

Speaker 10 (01:17:58):
Mike's like like Fits and Eye little brother. You know,
we make fun of them, we have we we push
them around, but don't let me find anybody else making
fun of them, because we will put you down.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
Ah, You and Fits might be. Are you guys like
the the biggest strangest tandem and radio hockey broadcast?

Speaker 10 (01:18:15):
We visit thirty one other cities and I haven't found
another radio tandem that pound for pound is in our
weight class. So I think I think we win that
wrestling match.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
Well, good to see you again, Queen Anne beer Hall.
Welcome aboard as the sponsor. They brought us some breakfast
burritos here this morning, and they're if all they do

I mean, the great spot for breakfast, great spot for
smash burgers, especially after the game. They're five bucks stop
by for one.

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
Do they sell beer there? They do local craft beer.

Speaker 3 (01:18:48):
Come on.

Speaker 10 (01:18:49):
I've been there for some wing challenges where they bring
in local breweries and we rate the brewer, the breweries,
and then they bring them on board and they you know,
we we we score all the wings and the top
wing gets to go in the restaurant. It's a real
community based restaurant. I love about it.
