It makes it sound so official.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
X is a those time here on a Friday. They
are brought to you by Frost Brewed Corpse Line. Joining
us now is the QB one. Hugh Millin is with us.
Good morning you.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What's happening, gentlemen? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
We're great?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What stands out to you about this Seahawks Cardinals matchup
on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Most and first and foremost, well, I think just the
uh what the the changes what we've seen in the
Cardinals that that with Jacoby Brissett. You know, it's three
big games, that the very very impressive win at Dallas.
You know, what's their mindset coming in? Do they still
(00:46):
think that they they have like you know, it's it's
not whether or not they actually have a chance to
make the playoffs, it's what's the state of mind of
the Cardinals with respect to that they may have a boost.
We've talked Aboutyler Murray. You you know my opinion, I
think it's just uh humiliating that a team would be
(01:09):
compelled to put an independent study clause in a player
in a quarterbacks contract that he has to study four
hours a week of tape. Otherwise wise he's he's in default.
You know that Now they pulled that because they recognized
how humiliating it was. But you can't undo that. You know,
(01:29):
you see the the body language Kyler Murray has, you know,
his response to adversity is uh, what Mike Comingan calls
his affect. His body language, uh is as bad as
I've seen. And then and then, you know, if you
think I'm being harsh, go on YouTube and just type
in Kyler Murray yells at coach. And it was a
(01:51):
game on a Thursday night game National TV. They're playing
the Saints, and you'll see the play come up. It
only takes a minute to watch it. It's right there
on YouTube. And you watch Kyler Murray on a timeout
situation late in the second quarter. He comes off and
he is screaming at his head coach Cliff Kingsbury, and
(02:11):
I have never ever ever seen that in that fashion.
And DeAndre Hopkins had to intercede, get in the middle,
you know, put his arm around him, calm him down.
And I've heard the term a lot. You know, the
coach loses the locker room and a lot of times
I'm going, all right, well, give me the evidence, you know,
(02:32):
and we can make inferences. We don't always know. You know,
you were not in everybody's head. So so I'm I
often kind of push back on that statement. When I
saw that, I just kind of said out loud, I said,
Cliff Kingsbury will never have the Cardinals again after that moment,
And so at an event they they now turned to
(02:52):
Jacoby Bussett, and uh, you know, they can be they
can be a scrappy team, and they present a little
bit of a challenge of Seattle is handling the success
that they showed the country from Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You know something that has stuck out to me all
week and long, week long, and I want to ask
you this, but I have a feeling you could do
like a six hour seminar at Princeton on this topic.
So forgive me for bringing it up in a fifteen
minute segment. But I know that you have sort of
(03:26):
been a little suspicious about this league going to short quarterbacks.
And we've had two under five foot eleven that have
been drafted number one overall in the last decade, including
Kyler Murray. It's been a really bad year for short
quarterbacks in the National Football League. We had a pretty
good one on a college campus down the street. But
(03:49):
in the National Football League, this has been a bad year.
And I'm wondering if you think that it's going to
mark a reversal in believing that quarterbacks should be drafted
this high when they can't ride this ride.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, I think that, Uh, it's been a bad year
for short quarterbacks, as you mentioned. And you've got and
skinny quarterbacks as well. I mean, you've got in right,
because there was a lot of questions about Jaden Daniels
and his his frame coming out and uh and and
you've got uh Young down in in uh in Carolina,
(04:28):
You've got uh. I think what you see on the
tape is that you clearly these guys are not going
to be able to see. After Russell Wilson was drafted,
I asked every quarterback I ran into for a couple
of months there. I asked Troy Aikman, Dan Marino, Warren Moon,
Danny White if you remember him, the quarterback of of
(04:51):
the the Cowboys, Rich gann and an m v P.
You know, I asked everybody, what percent of the time
when you were in an NFL pocket could you not see?
And it was remarkable hot and everybody had an answer.
There wasn't anybody goes I never thought about it. I
don't know. Everybody seemed to say about thirty to forty
(05:15):
percent of the time they couldn't see something that they
wanted to see. Danny White actually had the most interesting coming.
He says, well, when I got to Dallas, the offensive
line was good, you know, maybe ten percent. He says,
by the time I got done, there was ninety percent. Yeah,
but anyway, I digressed. So not seeing is real. I'm
(05:37):
six five and I don't know how many games I
had played in, but but you know, it was mostly
a backup. But the games I there's a lot of
times you just don't see. That's why seven on seven
teams you can throw it all over the art because
no pass rush, and so you see it particularly over
(05:59):
the middle of the yield. And and and what happens
is is we get enamored with the the athletic quarterback's
ability to to avoid sacks, and yet the numbers just
to I've been asked to present for thirty thirteen by
Mike Tannahan Timebaum. I've got the thirteen pages of PowerPoint
(06:21):
that in any era, the quote unquote, and you and
I made metrics to decide who's an athletic quarterback, who's
who's more of a pocket passer In any era, the
pocket passers always avoid more sacks because they they don't
try and extend plays because they know they can't. And
(06:42):
and you know, when you're they asked me, uh uh uh.
Back to back, Tom Brady had the lowest sack rate
in the NFL and Justin Fields had had the highest.
And so I'm going through these plays and and I'm
showing where where Tom Brady. He knows exactly actly where
his his outlets are. And you know, and and given
(07:06):
the same situation, the athletic quarterback when when when there's
a guy in his face, instead of just saying let
me dump into the outlet, he'll start running and trying
and extend the play, and then you take sacks that way. Now,
admittedly there are certainly free running situations where the athletic
quarterback will will get out of a situation that the
(07:27):
pocket passer will be dumped. But you know, the theater
thre third team asked me to present for Daniel Jones,
which I kind of smiled when I read the text
and like Daniel Jones. Well, I've actually had an affinity
to him for four or five years. So I in
the last week, I've studied over three hundred and fifty
plays of Daniel Jones, you know, with the culture number
(07:49):
one in offense. And I see and I'm gonna get
this to Sam Darnold because people, so let's get relevant.
There are a lot and and uh, You've got in
Daniel Jones eleven touchdowns no interceptions in the red zone.
There's times where you see where he's looking to his
left and then somebody comes off and and he will
get to a checkdown his fifth guy in the progression
(08:12):
and and I look and I go, wait a minute, right, then,
Daniel Jones pretty athletic. He he could have he could
have migrated to a spot to run the ball, but
he's he's looking for the checkdown. So what happens is
the you know, the shorter quarterback. When he doesn't see,
he says, well, let me let me try and move around,
(08:32):
distort the defense, distort the pass rush, get out of
here so I can see. And you know, when guys
are are able to make those plays. Heck, we said,
I don't need to convince people Seahawks fans, and they
saw it with Russell Wilson. But Sam Darnold is doing
a lot of the stuff that even in my notes
I put TV just you know, Tom Brady like number
(08:55):
five he's got he just got to the number five
guy in the progression and and and so I think
there's just a different uh, there's a different mindset when
you get you know, a bigger guy who can see
and doesn't have great mobility. He has to find other
ways to uh to to beat the blitz and avoid sacks.
And you know, right right now, Donald, uh you know
(09:18):
he's he's I think in his sack avoidance he's number
one in the NFL. So so, uh yeah, no, it's
it's it's an interesting topic. You're right. I could go
a long time, and I already have had and I
already have.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, I'm gonna ask one more about Sam Donald just
because I'm curious of your opinion. I mean, after that
first half that he played last week and and the
way he's played all season so far, I mean, do
you put him up there with the top of the
heap quarterbacks in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Right now? For this season. Absolutely, there's just so many.
It's funny to look at the stat portal of the NFL.
There are so many cool stats, and I'm go, oh
my god, I'd love to say that on the radio.
I'd love to say that on the radio, Like I
could stuff a whole segment, two segments on on cool
stats with Sam Donald. Let me one for the day. Okay,
So we know that the Seahawks plays of twenty plus yards,
(10:10):
the Seahawks are number one in the NFL. Plays of
fifty plus, they're number one in the NFL air yards
per attempt nine point one three, Sam Donald, number one
in the NFL. He is pushing the ball down the
field more than any quarterback in the NFL. But in
(10:31):
addition to that, the NFL has off target percentage Sam
Donald six point four percent. That's number two in the NFL.
So and that's counting all passes. So the idea that
you would be number one in all these statistics about
pushing the ball down the field but have the second best,
(10:56):
second lowest percentage of off target passes. But like, you know,
I don't know that that that kind of dumbfounds me. Yeah,
you know, And and so and there's many more. But yeah,
I know, you know, just look at at the performance
that he's given you and and at this juncture, I
(11:17):
think it's interesting that if if you go by how
many quarterbacks have won seventy five percent of their games?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now this is with sixty starts minimum. Okay, there's only
three quarterbacks in history. Autogram in the fifty you know,
he played in the fifties, dar Ala Monica he played
in the sixties, and Pat Pat Mahomes. Tom Brady was
seventy four point nine percent, So he misses it by
point point one percent point is seventy five percent is
(11:47):
a really lofty level. So Darnold came to Seattle twenty four,
uh excuse me, eighteen and six in his last twenty
four games. Now he's six and two. Obviously, that's seventy
five percent. So he's twenty four and eight in his
last thirty two games. So he's more than halfway to sixty.
Do I think that he's going to be over the
(12:09):
next twenty eight games seventy five percent? I bet against it.
But the point is, at some point we're gonna say, say,
wait a minute. You know, this is like Signetti man
you know, I win Google me, you know, like Donald.
Now he's that's not his personality. He's never gonna say that.
But at some point Donald wins Google him.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah. Uh, and now he's added another weapon. So in
our last couple of minutes, how do you think Sam
Donald takes advantage of Rashid sha Heed's talents on Sunday?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
And first of.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
All, yeah, just real quickly, you know, I think that
it bears mentioning. You know, I think that we had
and I love Tory Horton, but you know, he's getting
nicked up. He's he's growing his ankle this, you know,
and he keeps showing up on the injury report. I
think there was a concern there. Cooper Cup, there's a concern.
Now that's only really a one year deal for Seattle.
And and and the part about Cup is he is
(13:06):
a remarkable He's like a coach in the building. In fact,
don't be surprised if in a couple of years he's
a coach on that he's local. His wife I think
it's from Tacoma, check me on that. But in any event,
he has been Cup has been a monumental force for
you know, Jackson Smith and Jigma's development. You know, he
took two years off his development. But Rashid Shaheed. Uh.
(13:30):
So the point is is there's some concern about some
of the other guys, but she she heat as I
mentioned yesterday, uh, more outside receiver than than slot. And
with with Kubiak with the Saints, he was only twenty
five percent of slot. So he's an outside receiver. A
lot of speed, relatively small. You know, at five po
ten he measured one eighty five at the combine. I'm
(13:52):
certain he's not that he's pushing two hundred just looking
at his his body weight. I now, I think there's
some some aspects of his route running that I think
need refinement. When he does speed outs, he tends to
slow down coming out of it. I think that that
that could be something that he improves.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You know, his height, he's if he doesn't win with
speed and a good release off the top.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You know, I've seen him lose some battles down the
field on some deep ball route deep routes. But but
I think you got a guy obviously knows the system
in Clint Kubiak, having played with the Saints, a lot
of speed. We're gonna see some bubble screens and and
jet sweeps. I watched the entire reel of that. I
thought it was good. I didn't think there was nothing
that went. I go, oh wow, I can't wait for
(14:39):
the Jet the Rockets sweep game to come alive for Seattle.
With this guy, I think it's solid. Uh, you'd expect
it to be pretty good for a guy his size.
So so I think that he kind of checks a
lot of boxes, and you know, you give him like
a b. I mean, he's played forty he's had forty
two games in his career, and he's got two games
over one hundred yards. Now on the positive side of that,
(15:01):
I filter all number two receivers. I just did this week.
Here's my spreadsheet. You know when you asked me, well,
think of a number two receiver who comes to mind, Well,
how about T Higgins. Well, he's got fifty five catches.
He's got more catches than T Higgins by two. The
other one I'd say, well, how about AJ Brown and
or DeVante Smith at Philadelphia that's a tandem.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
Well, A J.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Brown's number two right now to Devonte Smith, he's got
fifty six catches. Uh, she he does fifty five. So,
so I think you know on Ceedee Lamb and oh god,
who's the guy that acquired from Pickens, Yeah, Pickens. Ceedee
Lamb is the that has the highest number of of
catches or yards per game rather of any number two.
(15:47):
And you don't think of Ceedee Lamb. He's up there
at eighty two yards a game. And and so she
heat at fifty five yards a game. As thought that
was the stat I was referencing, if I didn't make
that clear. So so even he's comparing this year with
a very you know, suspect quarterback play. He's comparing in
his numbers to some of the guys that we think
(16:10):
of as okay, that's they got a great tandem of
receivers that team. And he's comparing with the number two
A Lobby obviously had been the is the number one
receiver at New Orleans. So and an even, I think
it's a solid, solid acquisition. Here's what I'm hoping as
a fan, just well, he doesn't have to prove anything
to me. But we do a lot of draft coverage,
(16:31):
and I love that about you, Chuck. You love the draft.
Let's make it a goal that you know in the
weeks and the days and the hours leading up to
the draft that we can sit there and go, yeah, damn,
I wish we had that fourth and fifth draft pick,
but man, did we get a lot out of received Shahed.
I'm totally cool with the idea that we don't have
(16:52):
a fourth and fifth because remember all those great things
that Shaheed did for us last year and what we
expect from him moving forward.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here's what I got out of that. Hugh wants us
to do more draft coverage than what we do right now.
That's what I got out of that bucket. So just
get ready draft than normal. We yeah, started, Yeah, that's buckets.
Text me, I have tech, I have the text. He's like,
(17:18):
tell him every everything would be really good if we
could just have more draft cover, more draft coverage. Good point, Hugh,
We'll go ahead and satisfy Bucky this upcoming year.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That sounds great to me.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Enjoy Tall Quarterback Day on Sunday, indeed, and we'll talk

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Mike Hongrin with Chuck and Buck.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Oh yeah, before I've bring coaching, just quickly want to
let you know Terry Fader, who is the famous impersonator
slash ventriloquist, is going to be performing November fifteenth at
Talala p Resort Casino. You can get tickets a ticket
master and service fee free at Tulalap and Quilseeda Casino
one Club Desk. So just want you to be aware
of that, coach, did you ever put that in Big
(18:44):
Mike and the Boppers or whatever act that was that
you had. Did you have a ventriloquist impersonation act that
you you could do?
Speaker 7 (18:53):
No? No, you know what. No, that's about the only
thing we didn't do though. I mean, if you go,
if you're going to dress up like a cheerleader in
a wig, you're gonna do about just him, about anything.
So we did that. Be true to your school, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Be true to your school.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
What was the name of the band again, Big Bop
in the Choppers.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Big Bop in the Choppers. That's right.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
If you just thought coach Holmgren was just a football genius,
you didn't know how many hidden talents did.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He actually have?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Oh no, I mean it was it was I tell
you what. We raised a lot of money though for
the school, so that was good.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
All right, Well let's talk about Seahawks and Cardinals. Let's
talk about their quarterback to get us started. How much
do things get shaken up and Mike McDonald's defensive room
when you go from a tiny, fast quarterback to a big,
lumbering quarterback.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I think it changes a lot the pass rush lanes,
how you're going to approach that Murray was you know,
he was so fast and that was a big threat
when you played against them. This Brissette seems to me
they're moving the ball. There's got a confidence now, they're
moving the ball better and he's making good decisions. So
(20:08):
he's a good quarterback, but quite a different type of
quarterback than Murray.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
On the other side, I mean, Sam Darnold is playing
better than either of the quarterbacks on the other side
of the ball. I mean, at this point we've been
talking about the run game doesn't really hasn't really got
on track, and yet the offense has been rolling. Do
you just lean into this thing and just keep throwing
the ball to Jackson Smith and jigbur or do you
think that they need to continue to try to pound it.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
No. I think it's clear to me that when they
mix it up a little bit more and with play
action and insert some more passing game into their offense,
it works better. That's not to say they don't want
to run the ball, and they're trying, and the way
they're moving the backs, they're splitting time a little bit more.
(20:56):
I thought Walker would play more, but they're doing doing that.
But I think they still want to do this stick
with their plan of the new style of running and
handing the ball to the back. But clearly the play
action pass off of that has worked very very well,
and Jigma, you know, has just shut lights out. So
(21:19):
I think they're going to stay with what they have.
Probably a sixty to forty I would think.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Ratio coach olmgrin with us a segment brought to you
by Toyota of Kirkland Slab Jack and R and R
Foundation specialist joints every Friday at this time.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
We have talked about how Sam Darnold, how good he looks.
We talked about that on Monday, so we've had a
conversation about that. One thing we haven't had a conversation
about is this team has added a new wide receiver,
a new deep threat weapon to the rosters since last
we spoke on Tuesday's trade deadline. So when it comes
to adding a wide receiver talent, how quickly can you
(21:55):
incorporate that player into the game plan. Do you feel
like there are no olds barred with Rashid Shaheed this weekend?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
You know what, I don't think he'll have everything, but
you can insert wide receivers sooner than other positions, I think,
because you know the routes essentially, you know, you run
a post, you're in a corner, and you run this round.
They're kind of similar whoever you play for. But as
far as learning that you know the intricacies of a
(22:27):
particular pattern and how they want to do it, you
have to learn that. But I think, you know, it's
a good addition because it gives a little another added
thing to the receiver corps. He's a different receiver than Cup,
He's a different receiver than Jigma, you know, and so
he adds that speed and stretching coverages. I think you're
(22:47):
going to see him a little bit, but he's the
fourth receiver. Horton's done a great job, I think, and
they want to keep bringing him along. But it's a
nice addition.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Do you like the idea of being able to have
a guy it's under because we've got pretty decent contributions
from the tight ends this season then, and Jigba has
been doing his thing, and Tory Horton when he's healthy,
he's been a nice surprise. Do you do you just
as an offensive mind, like the idea of somebody that
you just can always send downfield that can kind of
(23:18):
take the top off the defense.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I love that buck. You know. Give me receivers. I
love receivers. Don't give me don't give me a right
guard or a center, give me a receiver, and certainly
don't give me a punter or place kicker. You know,
give me a receiver. So it's going to help him,
I think. I mean, it's a nice pickup. I don't
know how many snaps he's going to get in a game,
but a lot of times now the offense is now
(23:43):
compared to when I first started in the league, you're
seeing a lot more for receiver than that kind of offense.
And here is the fourth receiver. So yeah, I think
it's a nice addition. I really do. Now. Having said that,
I don't want them to stop throwing the ball to
the tight end. I think that's a valuable thing and
it will help also up the running game essentially.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So that's your mindset.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
You're an offensive coordinator, you're general ron Wolf at the
trading deadline gives you another weapon, even though you seem
to have enough, Like we got a lot of weapons,
we might not have enough offensive lineman. But your mindset
is no, I can never have enough weapons on offense.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You know what, I just said that, and so I'll
stick with it. However, I thought, to your point check,
I thought they might look and at another interior linment,
offensive lineman, because I think on the team, if you
evaluate the team, you know, you can see a lot
of really good things about the offensive line, but there
is some questions. Again, I think about the interior. You know,
(24:45):
the guard position in the center. You know, it's maybe
it's not working exactly the way they wanted to, but
maybe they see it's coming. You know, it's getting better
each week. But that's where I thought they were going
to go. But I'll take the receiver.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I'll take the receiver.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You had Brent Jones and Jerry Rice and John Taylor
and Roger Craig and Tom Rathman and yet uh you
know you had Rinaldo Nehemiah to the group. Did you
have Ronaldo Neamayah.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
No, no, he was he was out before I got there.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Okay, you know guy who Mike Girard? Did you have Mike?
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Okay, Mike, Yeah, we had him, yep. If he got
me in a lot of trouble, I'll tell you one
quick story. We're playing the Bears in my last year
in Green Bay, and I had players that I coach
in college that were playing for the Bears, and we
beat them in the last game. They were going to
the playoffs. We were not. And uh, the quarterback called
(25:42):
a pass play. We were beating him badly, and in
the last thirty seconds he called the pass play for
a touchdown to Mike Girard. After the game, I didn't
call the play. I was on the sideline. He audibled
to the play and then the players that I had
came streaming over me. We thought, you knew, we knew you.
What are you doing? I said, I called to play.
As it turns out, Mike Schurard needed that for a
(26:04):
big bonus. So he got into the huddle and he
goes Billy Musk, who's coach in the league. He throw
me the ball. I need the ball, and that's what
they did, and it put me in jail. Yep, it did.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You have a Mike Gerard story ready to tell? Do
you have a do you have a Ronaldo Nami? Because
my guest says, you wouldn't have wanted just a track
guy to try to learn football on your watch.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
No, but I heard the story I heard. I'll tell
you one quick one, and when I got there, of
course he was, you know, he was Bill waltsh would
take chances on players. We had a couple of defensive
linemen that were track guys, discus throwers, and they never
played defensive line, but he liked that kind of stuff
and so they were good players too. It turned out
Ronaldo was a good receiver and then in a game
(26:49):
he just got clocked by a safety or a linebacker.
You know, he was running the slant and whammo, he
got hit over. We're back in the track, we're running
the relays. We're not doing this.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I've never once got crushed by a safety running a
four by one hundred relay.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
So all you got to do is drop the baton
and then you're in trouble. You're not gonna get hit.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
All right, Coach, Well, enjoy Sunday. We'll talk to you
on Monday, and always appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (27:19):

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I remember when this first started, and part of it
was that you had to drink your old drink during
the segment, and I stopped doing that over time.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I almost to the point where I forgot that we
did that.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, and then all of a sudden, Bucky just was like,
I'm going to drink it before the second Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Before she even starts speaking.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Well, and yeah, that's how it originally start, because I
started to drink COVID and I had to deliver the
news in two minutes and finish my seltzer.
Speaker 10 (29:21):
Yes, so that's how I had originally started. But then
it wasn't very responsible.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Yeah, this is a lot more now we're responsible, Bucky.
Speaking of responsible, Bucky's all alone this weekend. Chances are
high that he goes full Lord of the Flies by Sunday.
It's going to be a weekend full of logging, drinking
fire booze, and grunting.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, necessarily in that order.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Meanwhile, it's Martini night at Chuck's house in time to
put up the Christmas tree, right, So, same thing happening
in both houses.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
The no tradition shared across unlike any love it.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
It's not well, you might love this, Paul Pierce is
doling out free relationship advice, which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I am all ears.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
On his after Dark podcast, Pierce told his listeners, if
you really want to know if your girlfriend loves you,
cheat on her and see how she reacts.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Really, that's a great plan.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
Great plan.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
So she loves you, she sticks around.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
This is the part I can't figure out.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
So she loves you, she doesn't have self respect and
she sticks around, right, Or she loves you but she
leaves you and then you're the one that's screwed up.
Or she leaves you but she loves I mean, there's
no it's a lose lose situation. It's a loser take.
Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, no matter how you slice it, Paul Pierce knows love.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Well.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Here's the crazy thing, because I was like, man, how
is this guy? I mean, how many relationships has this
guy been? Apparently he's been married for fifteen years. If
I was his wife, I'd be so embarrassed and so
not proud of my art.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Thought he was one of the guys that never got married,
was never gonna have kids and all of that stuff.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But I looked it up.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
He got married in twenty ten.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
It sounds like you just kind of did the ceremony
and then didn't really live married.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
She's probably really I wonder how many times he cheated
on her to make her a proof that she loved him, loyal.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
To that bank account, is what it sounds like.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
Well, that's the other thing.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
So if you cheat on her, if you cheat on
her she doesn't leave you, does that mean she loves you?
Speaker 10 (31:24):
Or does that mean she just likes the lifestyle she's got.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
It's bad advice. Don't listen to Paul Pierce.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Oh, don't listen. Yeah, don't. I will not. That's the conclusion.
You're done.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Yeah, don't listen to Paul Pierce.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
I don't know what's worse that he said it, or
that there were people who were like, yeah, man, great advice.
We are less than three weeks away from Thanksgiving and
the busiest travel time of the year, and yesterday the
FAA announced a ten percent reduction in air traffic in
forty markets, and.
Speaker 10 (31:52):
Yep, sea tax one of them.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
So never have I ever thought we should try to
find a way to make the most chaotic time of
the year more chaotic, But congrats, we did it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Actually, they might have made it less chaos.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't know if people are going to have a
choice anymore, they're not going to be able to travel.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Simplified it first.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
That's what I just wouldn't travel. I'd be like it.
It was a great idea in theory, but I.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Wasn't planning on traveling this year, and now I'm very
glad that I'm not planning to travel.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
You were going to say, now that they've reduced it
by ten percent, sign me up for a flight. Starbucks
released their holiday cups yesterday, including their Very Cold Cup,
and it had people absolutely losing their minds.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
It is a twenty ounce reusable bear cup.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Oh, I totally misread it. I thought protective cups.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
Yeah, no, not that kind of No. Starbucks hasn't gotten
into that biscus yet.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
So this is a reusable cup, and people are angry
it's sold out, like going online and accusing workers of
buying them before the store opened, and all sorts of things.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
They're being sold on eBay now for three hundred dollars.
It is a cup, people like.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Having one does not make you cooler. I mean I
bought five. I'm not cooler than anybody else. If you
want one, no, I'll help you out. Check out my
eBay listing. Okay, now I did not surprised.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Oh and before I leave, I do have to Toronto
fans if you're listening, I've got it. I came across
something that you think you might really enjoy. I did
see a post on X today. The Dodgers are going
to be replaying Game seven on AM five seventy this afternoon.
If you want to relive it, you can find that
on the iHeartRadio Apple Show.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
Take that. That's how we're going to close it out.
That's it. That's what you do.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You just if if you say something nasty about something
or someone.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Like the iHeartRadio app potentially that's.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
When you know if it loves you, that's right, right, yeah,
see if it comes back to you, right, that's what
thing seems like.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
That's how you find out if she goes well, do
you find out because she leaves you or because she
stays I don't get it?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That'll do it for us today.
Speaker 3 (33:56):

are brought to you by Frost Brewed Corpse Line. Joining
us now is the QB one. Hugh Millin is with us.
Good morning you.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
What's happening, gentlemen? How are you?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
We're great?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
What stands out to you about this Seahawks Cardinals matchup
on Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Most and first and foremost, well, I think just the
uh what the the changes what we've seen in the
Cardinals that that with Jacoby Brissett. You know, it's three
big games, that the very very impressive win at Dallas.
You know, what's their mindset coming in? Do they still
(00:46):
think that they they have like you know, it's it's
not whether or not they actually have a chance to
make the playoffs, it's what's the state of mind of
the Cardinals with respect to that they may have a boost.
We've talked Aboutyler Murray. You you know my opinion, I
think it's just uh humiliating that a team would be
(01:09):
compelled to put an independent study clause in a player
in a quarterbacks contract that he has to study four
hours a week of tape. Otherwise wise he's he's in default.
You know that Now they pulled that because they recognized
how humiliating it was. But you can't undo that. You know,
(01:29):
you see the the body language Kyler Murray has, you know,
his response to adversity is uh, what Mike Comingan calls
his affect. His body language, uh is as bad as
I've seen. And then and then, you know, if you
think I'm being harsh, go on YouTube and just type
in Kyler Murray yells at coach. And it was a
(01:51):
game on a Thursday night game National TV. They're playing
the Saints, and you'll see the play come up. It
only takes a minute to watch it. It's right there
on YouTube. And you watch Kyler Murray on a timeout
situation late in the second quarter. He comes off and
he is screaming at his head coach Cliff Kingsbury, and
(02:11):
I have never ever ever seen that in that fashion.
And DeAndre Hopkins had to intercede, get in the middle,
you know, put his arm around him, calm him down.
And I've heard the term a lot. You know, the
coach loses the locker room and a lot of times
I'm going, all right, well, give me the evidence, you know,
(02:32):
and we can make inferences. We don't always know. You know,
you were not in everybody's head. So so I'm I
often kind of push back on that statement. When I
saw that, I just kind of said out loud, I said,
Cliff Kingsbury will never have the Cardinals again after that moment,
And so at an event they they now turned to
(02:52):
Jacoby Bussett, and uh, you know, they can be they
can be a scrappy team, and they present a little
bit of a challenge of Seattle is handling the success
that they showed the country from Sunday night.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You know something that has stuck out to me all
week and long, week long, and I want to ask
you this, but I have a feeling you could do
like a six hour seminar at Princeton on this topic.
So forgive me for bringing it up in a fifteen
minute segment. But I know that you have sort of
(03:26):
been a little suspicious about this league going to short quarterbacks.
And we've had two under five foot eleven that have
been drafted number one overall in the last decade, including
Kyler Murray. It's been a really bad year for short
quarterbacks in the National Football League. We had a pretty
good one on a college campus down the street. But
(03:49):
in the National Football League, this has been a bad year.
And I'm wondering if you think that it's going to
mark a reversal in believing that quarterbacks should be drafted
this high when they can't ride this ride.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, I think that, Uh, it's been a bad year
for short quarterbacks, as you mentioned. And you've got and
skinny quarterbacks as well. I mean, you've got in right,
because there was a lot of questions about Jaden Daniels
and his his frame coming out and uh and and
you've got uh Young down in in uh in Carolina,
(04:28):
You've got uh. I think what you see on the
tape is that you clearly these guys are not going
to be able to see. After Russell Wilson was drafted,
I asked every quarterback I ran into for a couple
of months there. I asked Troy Aikman, Dan Marino, Warren Moon,
Danny White if you remember him, the quarterback of of
(04:51):
the the Cowboys, Rich gann and an m v P.
You know, I asked everybody, what percent of the time
when you were in an NFL pocket could you not see?
And it was remarkable hot and everybody had an answer.
There wasn't anybody goes I never thought about it. I
don't know. Everybody seemed to say about thirty to forty
(05:15):
percent of the time they couldn't see something that they
wanted to see. Danny White actually had the most interesting coming.
He says, well, when I got to Dallas, the offensive
line was good, you know, maybe ten percent. He says,
by the time I got done, there was ninety percent. Yeah,
but anyway, I digressed. So not seeing is real. I'm
(05:37):
six five and I don't know how many games I
had played in, but but you know, it was mostly
a backup. But the games I there's a lot of
times you just don't see. That's why seven on seven
teams you can throw it all over the art because
no pass rush, and so you see it particularly over
(05:59):
the middle of the yield. And and and what happens
is is we get enamored with the the athletic quarterback's
ability to to avoid sacks, and yet the numbers just
to I've been asked to present for thirty thirteen by
Mike Tannahan Timebaum. I've got the thirteen pages of PowerPoint
(06:21):
that in any era, the quote unquote, and you and
I made metrics to decide who's an athletic quarterback, who's
who's more of a pocket passer In any era, the
pocket passers always avoid more sacks because they they don't
try and extend plays because they know they can't. And
(06:42):
and you know, when you're they asked me, uh uh uh.
Back to back, Tom Brady had the lowest sack rate
in the NFL and Justin Fields had had the highest.
And so I'm going through these plays and and I'm
showing where where Tom Brady. He knows exactly actly where
his his outlets are. And you know, and and given
(07:06):
the same situation, the athletic quarterback when when when there's
a guy in his face, instead of just saying let
me dump into the outlet, he'll start running and trying
and extend the play, and then you take sacks that way. Now,
admittedly there are certainly free running situations where the athletic
quarterback will will get out of a situation that the
(07:27):
pocket passer will be dumped. But you know, the theater
thre third team asked me to present for Daniel Jones,
which I kind of smiled when I read the text
and like Daniel Jones. Well, I've actually had an affinity
to him for four or five years. So I in
the last week, I've studied over three hundred and fifty
plays of Daniel Jones, you know, with the culture number
(07:49):
one in offense. And I see and I'm gonna get
this to Sam Darnold because people, so let's get relevant.
There are a lot and and uh, You've got in
Daniel Jones eleven touchdowns no interceptions in the red zone.
There's times where you see where he's looking to his
left and then somebody comes off and and he will
get to a checkdown his fifth guy in the progression
(08:12):
and and I look and I go, wait a minute, right, then,
Daniel Jones pretty athletic. He he could have he could
have migrated to a spot to run the ball, but
he's he's looking for the checkdown. So what happens is
the you know, the shorter quarterback. When he doesn't see,
he says, well, let me let me try and move around,
(08:32):
distort the defense, distort the pass rush, get out of
here so I can see. And you know, when guys
are are able to make those plays. Heck, we said,
I don't need to convince people Seahawks fans, and they
saw it with Russell Wilson. But Sam Darnold is doing
a lot of the stuff that even in my notes
I put TV just you know, Tom Brady like number
(08:55):
five he's got he just got to the number five
guy in the progression and and and so I think
there's just a different uh, there's a different mindset when
you get you know, a bigger guy who can see
and doesn't have great mobility. He has to find other
ways to uh to to beat the blitz and avoid sacks.
And you know, right right now, Donald, uh you know
(09:18):
he's he's I think in his sack avoidance he's number
one in the NFL. So so, uh yeah, no, it's
it's it's an interesting topic. You're right. I could go
a long time, and I already have had and I
already have.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Well, I'm gonna ask one more about Sam Donald just
because I'm curious of your opinion. I mean, after that
first half that he played last week and and the
way he's played all season so far, I mean, do
you put him up there with the top of the
heap quarterbacks in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Right now? For this season. Absolutely, there's just so many.
It's funny to look at the stat portal of the NFL.
There are so many cool stats, and I'm go, oh
my god, I'd love to say that on the radio.
I'd love to say that on the radio, Like I
could stuff a whole segment, two segments on on cool
stats with Sam Donald. Let me one for the day. Okay,
So we know that the Seahawks plays of twenty plus yards,
(10:10):
the Seahawks are number one in the NFL. Plays of
fifty plus, they're number one in the NFL air yards
per attempt nine point one three, Sam Donald, number one
in the NFL. He is pushing the ball down the
field more than any quarterback in the NFL. But in
(10:31):
addition to that, the NFL has off target percentage Sam
Donald six point four percent. That's number two in the NFL.
So and that's counting all passes. So the idea that
you would be number one in all these statistics about
pushing the ball down the field but have the second best,
(10:56):
second lowest percentage of off target passes. But like, you know,
I don't know that that that kind of dumbfounds me. Yeah,
you know, And and so and there's many more. But yeah,
I know, you know, just look at at the performance
that he's given you and and at this juncture, I
(11:17):
think it's interesting that if if you go by how
many quarterbacks have won seventy five percent of their games?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Now this is with sixty starts minimum. Okay, there's only
three quarterbacks in history. Autogram in the fifty you know,
he played in the fifties, dar Ala Monica he played
in the sixties, and Pat Pat Mahomes. Tom Brady was
seventy four point nine percent, So he misses it by
point point one percent point is seventy five percent is
(11:47):
a really lofty level. So Darnold came to Seattle twenty four,
uh excuse me, eighteen and six in his last twenty
four games. Now he's six and two. Obviously, that's seventy
five percent. So he's twenty four and eight in his
last thirty two games. So he's more than halfway to sixty.
Do I think that he's going to be over the
(12:09):
next twenty eight games seventy five percent? I bet against it.
But the point is, at some point we're gonna say, say,
wait a minute. You know, this is like Signetti man
you know, I win Google me, you know, like Donald.
Now he's that's not his personality. He's never gonna say that.
But at some point Donald wins Google him.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah. Uh, and now he's added another weapon. So in
our last couple of minutes, how do you think Sam
Donald takes advantage of Rashid sha Heed's talents on Sunday?
Speaker 6 (12:43):
And first of.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
All, yeah, just real quickly, you know, I think that
it bears mentioning. You know, I think that we had
and I love Tory Horton, but you know, he's getting
nicked up. He's he's growing his ankle this, you know,
and he keeps showing up on the injury report. I
think there was a concern there. Cooper Cup, there's a concern.
Now that's only really a one year deal for Seattle.
And and and the part about Cup is he is
(13:06):
a remarkable He's like a coach in the building. In fact,
don't be surprised if in a couple of years he's
a coach on that he's local. His wife I think
it's from Tacoma, check me on that. But in any event,
he has been Cup has been a monumental force for
you know, Jackson Smith and Jigma's development. You know, he
took two years off his development. But Rashid Shaheed. Uh.
(13:30):
So the point is is there's some concern about some
of the other guys, but she she heat as I
mentioned yesterday, uh, more outside receiver than than slot. And
with with Kubiak with the Saints, he was only twenty
five percent of slot. So he's an outside receiver. A
lot of speed, relatively small. You know, at five po
ten he measured one eighty five at the combine. I'm
(13:52):
certain he's not that he's pushing two hundred just looking
at his his body weight. I now, I think there's
some some aspects of his route running that I think
need refinement. When he does speed outs, he tends to
slow down coming out of it. I think that that
that could be something that he improves.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You know, his height, he's if he doesn't win with
speed and a good release off the top.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You know, I've seen him lose some battles down the
field on some deep ball route deep routes. But but
I think you got a guy obviously knows the system
in Clint Kubiak, having played with the Saints, a lot
of speed. We're gonna see some bubble screens and and
jet sweeps. I watched the entire reel of that. I
thought it was good. I didn't think there was nothing
that went. I go, oh wow, I can't wait for
(14:39):
the Jet the Rockets sweep game to come alive for Seattle.
With this guy, I think it's solid. Uh, you'd expect
it to be pretty good for a guy his size.
So so I think that he kind of checks a
lot of boxes, and you know, you give him like
a b. I mean, he's played forty he's had forty
two games in his career, and he's got two games
over one hundred yards. Now on the positive side of that,
(15:01):
I filter all number two receivers. I just did this week.
Here's my spreadsheet. You know when you asked me, well,
think of a number two receiver who comes to mind, Well,
how about T Higgins. Well, he's got fifty five catches.
He's got more catches than T Higgins by two. The
other one I'd say, well, how about AJ Brown and
or DeVante Smith at Philadelphia that's a tandem.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
Well, A J.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Brown's number two right now to Devonte Smith, he's got
fifty six catches. Uh, she he does fifty five. So,
so I think you know on Ceedee Lamb and oh god,
who's the guy that acquired from Pickens, Yeah, Pickens. Ceedee
Lamb is the that has the highest number of of
catches or yards per game rather of any number two.
(15:47):
And you don't think of Ceedee Lamb. He's up there
at eighty two yards a game. And and so she
heat at fifty five yards a game. As thought that
was the stat I was referencing, if I didn't make
that clear. So so even he's comparing this year with
a very you know, suspect quarterback play. He's comparing in
his numbers to some of the guys that we think
(16:10):
of as okay, that's they got a great tandem of
receivers that team. And he's comparing with the number two
A Lobby obviously had been the is the number one
receiver at New Orleans. So and an even, I think
it's a solid, solid acquisition. Here's what I'm hoping as
a fan, just well, he doesn't have to prove anything
to me. But we do a lot of draft coverage,
(16:31):
and I love that about you, Chuck. You love the draft.
Let's make it a goal that you know in the
weeks and the days and the hours leading up to
the draft that we can sit there and go, yeah, damn,
I wish we had that fourth and fifth draft pick,
but man, did we get a lot out of received Shahed.
I'm totally cool with the idea that we don't have
(16:52):
a fourth and fifth because remember all those great things
that Shaheed did for us last year and what we
expect from him moving forward.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Here's what I got out of that. Hugh wants us
to do more draft coverage than what we do right now.
That's what I got out of that bucket. So just
get ready draft than normal. We yeah, started, Yeah, that's buckets.
Text me, I have tech, I have the text. He's like,
(17:18):
tell him every everything would be really good if we
could just have more draft cover, more draft coverage. Good point, Hugh,
We'll go ahead and satisfy Bucky this upcoming year.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That sounds great to me.
Speaker 3 (17:28):

Mike Hongrin with Chuck and Buck.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Oh yeah, before I've bring coaching, just quickly want to
let you know Terry Fader, who is the famous impersonator
slash ventriloquist, is going to be performing November fifteenth at
Talala p Resort Casino. You can get tickets a ticket
master and service fee free at Tulalap and Quilseeda Casino
one Club Desk. So just want you to be aware
of that, coach, did you ever put that in Big
(18:44):
Mike and the Boppers or whatever act that was that
you had. Did you have a ventriloquist impersonation act that
you you could do?
Speaker 7 (18:53):
No? No, you know what. No, that's about the only
thing we didn't do though. I mean, if you go,
if you're going to dress up like a cheerleader in
a wig, you're gonna do about just him, about anything.
So we did that. Be true to your school, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Be true to your school.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
What was the name of the band again, Big Bop
in the Choppers.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Big Bop in the Choppers. That's right.
Speaker 9 (19:14):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
If you just thought coach Holmgren was just a football genius,
you didn't know how many hidden talents did.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
He actually have?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Oh no, I mean it was it was I tell
you what. We raised a lot of money though for
the school, so that was good.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
All right, Well let's talk about Seahawks and Cardinals. Let's
talk about their quarterback to get us started. How much
do things get shaken up and Mike McDonald's defensive room
when you go from a tiny, fast quarterback to a big,
lumbering quarterback.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
I think it changes a lot the pass rush lanes,
how you're going to approach that Murray was you know,
he was so fast and that was a big threat
when you played against them. This Brissette seems to me
they're moving the ball. There's got a confidence now, they're
moving the ball better and he's making good decisions. So
(20:08):
he's a good quarterback, but quite a different type of
quarterback than Murray.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
On the other side, I mean, Sam Darnold is playing
better than either of the quarterbacks on the other side
of the ball. I mean, at this point we've been
talking about the run game doesn't really hasn't really got
on track, and yet the offense has been rolling. Do
you just lean into this thing and just keep throwing
the ball to Jackson Smith and jigbur or do you
think that they need to continue to try to pound it.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
No. I think it's clear to me that when they
mix it up a little bit more and with play
action and insert some more passing game into their offense,
it works better. That's not to say they don't want
to run the ball, and they're trying, and the way
they're moving the backs, they're splitting time a little bit more.
(20:56):
I thought Walker would play more, but they're doing doing that.
But I think they still want to do this stick
with their plan of the new style of running and
handing the ball to the back. But clearly the play
action pass off of that has worked very very well,
and Jigma, you know, has just shut lights out. So
(21:19):
I think they're going to stay with what they have.
Probably a sixty to forty I would think.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Ratio coach olmgrin with us a segment brought to you
by Toyota of Kirkland Slab Jack and R and R
Foundation specialist joints every Friday at this time.
Speaker 7 (21:32):
Now.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
We have talked about how Sam Darnold, how good he looks.
We talked about that on Monday, so we've had a
conversation about that. One thing we haven't had a conversation
about is this team has added a new wide receiver,
a new deep threat weapon to the rosters since last
we spoke on Tuesday's trade deadline. So when it comes
to adding a wide receiver talent, how quickly can you
(21:55):
incorporate that player into the game plan. Do you feel
like there are no olds barred with Rashid Shaheed this weekend?
Speaker 7 (22:03):
You know what, I don't think he'll have everything, but
you can insert wide receivers sooner than other positions, I think,
because you know the routes essentially, you know, you run
a post, you're in a corner, and you run this round.
They're kind of similar whoever you play for. But as
far as learning that you know the intricacies of a
(22:27):
particular pattern and how they want to do it, you
have to learn that. But I think, you know, it's
a good addition because it gives a little another added
thing to the receiver corps. He's a different receiver than Cup,
He's a different receiver than Jigma, you know, and so
he adds that speed and stretching coverages. I think you're
(22:47):
going to see him a little bit, but he's the
fourth receiver. Horton's done a great job, I think, and
they want to keep bringing him along. But it's a
nice addition.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Do you like the idea of being able to have
a guy it's under because we've got pretty decent contributions
from the tight ends this season then, and Jigba has
been doing his thing, and Tory Horton when he's healthy,
he's been a nice surprise. Do you do you just
as an offensive mind, like the idea of somebody that
you just can always send downfield that can kind of
(23:18):
take the top off the defense.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
I love that buck. You know. Give me receivers. I
love receivers. Don't give me don't give me a right
guard or a center, give me a receiver, and certainly
don't give me a punter or place kicker. You know,
give me a receiver. So it's going to help him,
I think. I mean, it's a nice pickup. I don't
know how many snaps he's going to get in a game,
but a lot of times now the offense is now
(23:43):
compared to when I first started in the league, you're
seeing a lot more for receiver than that kind of offense.
And here is the fourth receiver. So yeah, I think
it's a nice addition. I really do. Now. Having said that,
I don't want them to stop throwing the ball to
the tight end. I think that's a valuable thing and
it will help also up the running game essentially.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So that's your mindset.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
You're an offensive coordinator, you're general ron Wolf at the
trading deadline gives you another weapon, even though you seem
to have enough, Like we got a lot of weapons,
we might not have enough offensive lineman. But your mindset
is no, I can never have enough weapons on offense.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
You know what, I just said that, and so I'll
stick with it. However, I thought, to your point check,
I thought they might look and at another interior linment,
offensive lineman, because I think on the team, if you
evaluate the team, you know, you can see a lot
of really good things about the offensive line, but there
is some questions. Again, I think about the interior. You know,
(24:45):
the guard position in the center. You know, it's maybe
it's not working exactly the way they wanted to, but
maybe they see it's coming. You know, it's getting better
each week. But that's where I thought they were going
to go. But I'll take the receiver.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I'll take the receiver.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
You had Brent Jones and Jerry Rice and John Taylor
and Roger Craig and Tom Rathman and yet uh you
know you had Rinaldo Nehemiah to the group. Did you
have Ronaldo Neamayah.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
No, no, he was he was out before I got there.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Okay, you know guy who Mike Girard? Did you have Mike?
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Okay, Mike, Yeah, we had him, yep. If he got
me in a lot of trouble, I'll tell you one
quick story. We're playing the Bears in my last year
in Green Bay, and I had players that I coach
in college that were playing for the Bears, and we
beat them in the last game. They were going to
the playoffs. We were not. And uh, the quarterback called
(25:42):
a pass play. We were beating him badly, and in
the last thirty seconds he called the pass play for
a touchdown to Mike Girard. After the game, I didn't
call the play. I was on the sideline. He audibled
to the play and then the players that I had
came streaming over me. We thought, you knew, we knew you.
What are you doing? I said, I called to play.
As it turns out, Mike Schurard needed that for a
(26:04):
big bonus. So he got into the huddle and he
goes Billy Musk, who's coach in the league. He throw
me the ball. I need the ball, and that's what
they did, and it put me in jail. Yep, it did.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
You have a Mike Gerard story ready to tell? Do
you have a do you have a Ronaldo Nami? Because
my guest says, you wouldn't have wanted just a track
guy to try to learn football on your watch.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
No, but I heard the story I heard. I'll tell
you one quick one, and when I got there, of
course he was, you know, he was Bill waltsh would
take chances on players. We had a couple of defensive
linemen that were track guys, discus throwers, and they never
played defensive line, but he liked that kind of stuff
and so they were good players too. It turned out
Ronaldo was a good receiver and then in a game
(26:49):
he just got clocked by a safety or a linebacker.
You know, he was running the slant and whammo, he
got hit over. We're back in the track, we're running
the relays. We're not doing this.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I've never once got crushed by a safety running a
four by one hundred relay.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
So all you got to do is drop the baton
and then you're in trouble. You're not gonna get hit.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
All right, Coach, Well, enjoy Sunday. We'll talk to you
on Monday, and always appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
All right, guys, take care, have a good weekend.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I remember when this first started, and part of it
was that you had to drink your old drink during
the segment, and I stopped doing that over time.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I almost to the point where I forgot that we
did that.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, and then all of a sudden, Bucky just was like,
I'm going to drink it before the second Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Before she even starts speaking.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Well, and yeah, that's how it originally start, because I
started to drink COVID and I had to deliver the
news in two minutes and finish my seltzer.
Speaker 10 (29:21):
Yes, so that's how I had originally started. But then
it wasn't very responsible.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Yeah, this is a lot more now we're responsible, Bucky.
Speaking of responsible, Bucky's all alone this weekend. Chances are
high that he goes full Lord of the Flies by Sunday.
It's going to be a weekend full of logging, drinking
fire booze, and grunting.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, necessarily in that order.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Meanwhile, it's Martini night at Chuck's house in time to
put up the Christmas tree, right, So, same thing happening
in both houses.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
The no tradition shared across unlike any love it.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
It's not well, you might love this, Paul Pierce is
doling out free relationship advice, which is awesome.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I am all ears.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
On his after Dark podcast, Pierce told his listeners, if
you really want to know if your girlfriend loves you,
cheat on her and see how she reacts.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Really, that's a great plan.
Speaker 10 (30:17):
Great plan.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
So she loves you, she sticks around.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
This is the part I can't figure out.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
So she loves you, she doesn't have self respect and
she sticks around, right, Or she loves you but she
leaves you and then you're the one that's screwed up.
Or she leaves you but she loves I mean, there's
no it's a lose lose situation. It's a loser take.
Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, no matter how you slice it, Paul Pierce knows love.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Well.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Here's the crazy thing, because I was like, man, how
is this guy? I mean, how many relationships has this
guy been? Apparently he's been married for fifteen years. If
I was his wife, I'd be so embarrassed and so
not proud of my art.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Thought he was one of the guys that never got married,
was never gonna have kids and all of that stuff.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
That's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But I looked it up.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
He got married in twenty ten.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
It sounds like you just kind of did the ceremony
and then didn't really live married.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
She's probably really I wonder how many times he cheated
on her to make her a proof that she loved him, loyal.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
To that bank account, is what it sounds like.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
Well, that's the other thing.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
So if you cheat on her, if you cheat on
her she doesn't leave you, does that mean she loves you?
Speaker 10 (31:24):
Or does that mean she just likes the lifestyle she's got.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
It's bad advice. Don't listen to Paul Pierce.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Oh, don't listen. Yeah, don't. I will not. That's the conclusion.
You're done.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Yeah, don't listen to Paul Pierce.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
I don't know what's worse that he said it, or
that there were people who were like, yeah, man, great advice.
We are less than three weeks away from Thanksgiving and
the busiest travel time of the year, and yesterday the
FAA announced a ten percent reduction in air traffic in
forty markets, and.
Speaker 10 (31:52):
Yep, sea tax one of them.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
So never have I ever thought we should try to
find a way to make the most chaotic time of
the year more chaotic, But congrats, we did it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Actually, they might have made it less chaos.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I don't know if people are going to have a
choice anymore, they're not going to be able to travel.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Simplified it first.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
That's what I just wouldn't travel. I'd be like it.
It was a great idea in theory, but I.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Wasn't planning on traveling this year, and now I'm very
glad that I'm not planning to travel.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
You were going to say, now that they've reduced it
by ten percent, sign me up for a flight. Starbucks
released their holiday cups yesterday, including their Very Cold Cup,
and it had people absolutely losing their minds.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
It is a twenty ounce reusable bear cup.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Oh, I totally misread it. I thought protective cups.
Speaker 10 (32:37):
Yeah, no, not that kind of No. Starbucks hasn't gotten
into that biscus yet.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
So this is a reusable cup, and people are angry
it's sold out, like going online and accusing workers of
buying them before the store opened, and all sorts of things.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
They're being sold on eBay now for three hundred dollars.
It is a cup, people like.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Having one does not make you cooler. I mean I
bought five. I'm not cooler than anybody else. If you
want one, no, I'll help you out. Check out my
eBay listing. Okay, now I did not surprised.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Oh and before I leave, I do have to Toronto
fans if you're listening, I've got it. I came across
something that you think you might really enjoy. I did
see a post on X today. The Dodgers are going
to be replaying Game seven on AM five seventy this afternoon.
If you want to relive it, you can find that

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Take that. That's how we're going to close it out.
That's it. That's what you do.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
You just if if you say something nasty about something
or someone.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Like the iHeartRadio app potentially that's.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
When you know if it loves you, that's right, right, yeah,
see if it comes back to you, right, that's what
thing seems like.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
That's how you find out if she goes well, do
you find out because she leaves you or because she
stays I don't get it?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
All right?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
That'll do it for us today.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
