Headlines and 12th man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) How realistic is the idea that Boye Mafe will get traded? Run game, run defense and more gam-planning for the Commanders. :30- We had a visit from a ghost during the show yesterday and it seems that Bucky is not taking this seriously. :35- Oh crap! It’s Chuck’s fact or fiction pick! :45- Did the Seahawks pull off the right moves during the offseason and is it time to give full credit to Schneider for moving on from DK? It seems like it’s worked out as far as JSN goes and yes, we are a better football team now than we were a year ago.

Ravens more Gandrews down to the ground to make the grab.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Baltimore caps off on the fumble.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Recovery deep in Miami territory had Lamar Jackson throws his

Baltimore Rashon Bateman in the back of the end zone.
It's the fourth touchdown of the game for Lamar Jackson
and Jenn's it's a bad omen to be very.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Capable of being in the lead and being behind. What
his press conference was something they're kind of all like that. No,
I don't know I don't know if he's doing it
intentionally he's a genius and he just throws people off,
or if he really is just that loss I am
(01:25):
thrown off the Yeah, I don't know if he's just
thrown off, doesn't know what to say, and so it
just comes out as gobbledegook every single press conference that
he has, especially those after losses. And it was a
loss last night for the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to
six to the Baltimore Ravens, who look like they're getting
right right before our eyes. Not a fun day to
(01:46):
have Derrick Henry and fantasy football, I'll tell you that.
Just get it inside the twenty and then Lamar just
throws touchdown pass four touchdown passes for Lamar Jackson and
a twenty eight to six win over the Dolphins on
Thursday Night Football. This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs will
be taking on the Buffalo Bills. That's the big game
this Sunday. But Sunday Night Seahawks taking on the Washington Commanders.
(02:10):
And we'll talk to Greg Bell here in a matter
of seconds. First though, let me breeze through these frost
brewed course light. Choose chill headlines. It's also week ten
of the college football season, my whereas the Time Gone
Huskies are on buy this week, but the Koogs in
action against conference rival Oregon State kickoff.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
At four point thirty.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
There Also, Sounders won't play until Monday, Game two or
match two of their three match series with Minnesota United,
and Brian Schmitzer in company have to win back to
back matches in order to advance in the tournament. College
basketball season will start in three days on that Monday
as well. Nearly two hundred college basketball games will be
(02:51):
played on Monday, believe it or not, and World Series
Game number six is tonight. This is the first chance
either team has to close out the series become World champs,
as the Blue Jays are up three games to two,
but they will have to face the hottest pitcher in
the entire postseason, as Yamamoto is pitching for the Dodgers tonight.
Those are your frost brewed course light Choose chill headlines.
(03:15):
Now let's talk to Greg Bell. Good morning, Greg, Good morning.
A lot to talk about with this commander's game, but
just so we don't risk running out of tom I
want to ask you about something that you closed our
roundtable discussion with yesterday and we just kind of threw
it out there and we didn't have time to discuss
it at all. So I want you to elaborate a
(03:35):
little bit on this boy A Mafe rumor as we
sit here just a few days short of the NFL
trade deadline.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Well, I mean, I'm guilty of just supposition here, but
boy Mafe plays a position of premium value in the
NFL edge rusher, and he plays every down, and he
hasn't had the production of a guy that you'd want
to re sign beyond his rookie contract ending this year.
And those are ingredients of potential trade because other teams
(04:05):
know the value of his position. He's under a relatively
inexpensive rookie deal. It would be something of a rental now,
but they could envision if they liked his production for
half a season to resign him. But at the very least,
you're augmenting a spot that in the NFL is paramount.
It's either throw the ball or pressure the guy who
throws the ball. That's basically the NFL today. And Mafey
(04:30):
has not been what they need him to be. And
Derek Hall being out has exacerbated that fact Hall's injury.
He's been a limited participant in practice all week. But
they need those two guys, and despite the pressure that
the four down linemen have given the team, they mostly
affected quarterbacks without Derek Hall and Boy Mafey involve too
(04:53):
much consistently in that. So it's more of a piecing
together the situation, the current circumstances around him, and the
fact that to me, unlike Wolan, who has been penalized
highly and been beaten for big plays and high profile moments,
(05:14):
is also at the end of his rookie deal, I
think maffe would have more of attraction over time. He
has been a guy who has affected quarterbacks in the
previous seasons more than he has there. So I'm not
saying it's going to happen. I don't know that it's
gonna that the Seahawks are going to make any trades,
because for all the talk about trades before the trade deadline,
(05:34):
there were only eighteen of them in the thirty two
team league last year. The Seahawks, of course, or one
of them with Oars Jones that transformed their defense, But
I'm not sure I see a transformation type of move
The Seahawks are going to make between down and two day.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
If they were going to make something, where do you
think they should make Where?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Where should they.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Upgrade the interior line, offensive defensive lines, defensive tap depth.
They have an issue at right guard. Anthony Bradford's still there, largely,
I think because they don't feel they have anybody in
the house that can take his place. They had signed
Shane Lemue with the practice squad. He'd been a starter
with Klitt kobe K system last year in New Orleans,
(06:16):
and now he's gone. He was on the practice squad
a couple of weeks and then they put him on
practice squad injured reserve, and I'm still never quite got
to the bottom of how he got hurt on the
practice squad. And Christian Haynes just returned this week from
the injured reservlist to practice. He's had about four different
chances in a year and a half under three four
different coaches to win that job, and he hasn't won it.
(06:40):
So Anthony Bradford is almost the right guard by default
at this point, and he's given up a lot in
pass protection and he hasn't in the entire line hasn't
performed run blocking like they'd hoped so, defensive tackle guard.
Those are the areas that not just now, but longer term,
(07:01):
they need depth.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Greig Bell is with US our Shawks insider, joining us
here on Chucking Buck in the Morning. You can of
course follow him at gmail, Seattle on X, or his
complete coverage of the Seahawks for you at Thenewstribune dot com.
All right, so is there any hope that Julian Love
is playing on Sunday or has that been dashed?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I don't think so. When McDonald chuck puts out, well,
we're considering injured reserve for him. That doesn't mean he's
going to play in four days. I mean he's the
opposite and he has been not a practice. He was
out on the practice field yesterday but did not participate
in practice. I saw him coming in from the field.
But there's nothing to suggest he's going to play. I'm
(07:42):
expecting to be listed us out today. Derek Hall has
been a limited participant coming off his hip injury from
a couple of games ago, and that's better than nothing.
Of course, I think he's going to be questionable. Devin
Witherspoon's been full go all week because he looks like
he's going to play for the first time since Week
four at Arizona, and we've talked about how that may
(08:03):
have it moving the chairs around effect and including potentially
week Woolen depending on whether they want to put Whittishman
inside or outside. Can't see him moving Nick emn worry
out of at Nickel. He's just been too good and
too impacting there to change the rookie for what he's
been doing the last few weeks that Witherspoon has been out,
(08:23):
so they're getting better and healthier, but they still won't
be whole in the secondary because Love is out. It
bears repeating this team has not had its starting secondary
together since the fifth play of the season. Yea, Yet
they're five and two and being led by their defense often.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Gee, I mean, Chuck and I I think are a
little bit different and far as far as how confident
going into this game. I do think the Seahawks are better.
I think they're playing better football. I think they're healthier.
They're not worried about their quarterbacks health going into the game.
And yet there's a part of me that just kind
of feels like, boy, you still better go out there
and play a really good game, because I think that
(09:00):
the ceiling of the Commanders could still be pretty high
if Jaden Daniels goes out there and balls the way
he should. So confidence level going into this, I mean,
everything looks like you should win this ball game, but
how confident are you that they will?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Not? A lot? This is still a Commander's team that
went to the NFC title game last year. They are
a shell of themselves. To help wise, I mentioned they
missing both their defense, starting defensive end and starting safety.
They've had issues on the offensive line and other quarterback's
been hurt, although Jalen Daniels has practiced fully all week
coming off the hamstring injury to causing to miss the
(09:35):
mind of night game. Maybe the most dangerous thing about
this game for the Seahawks and having from the Commanders
is the Commanders are desperate. They've lost three in a row.
They're three and five. They're talking in Washington about trading
some of their older players to get draft picks and
build for the future. Is there's something of a rounding
(09:56):
up of the cattle for a last charge mental going
on Washington right now, and there are a lot of
older players in that team that maybe at the end
of their tenures in Washington, that they're at the tipping
point of a season of whether this still matters to
them or not. And if they lose this game to
go to three and six, all of a sudden, they
may be looking forward to the end of their tenures
(10:19):
in a long season, and they could get traded before Tuesday.
So this is a pivotal game for them. Obviously, they
could go either four and five and still be there
or three and six on a four game losing streak.
So you're going to see a very desperate team playing
on its home field in the primetime game with their
quarterback returning from injury. All of that suggests a pretty
(10:40):
strong challenge to winning that game if you're the road team.
And again, the Seahawks are not a dominant dynamo that
just runs over teams. We've seen that time and again,
even the Jacksonville game that they completely controlled him. We're
winning twenty to six, Suddenly look up in the fourth quarter,
it's twenty to twelve and Jacksonville has the ball at
midfield trying to drive for the tying score. And I
(11:03):
remember sitting in that press box in jackson a couple
weeks ago, and how is this game close? The Jaguars
haven't even close to competing for most of the day,
and yet it was a one score game. That's where
the Seahawks are right now. They make enough mistakes. They
turned the ball over and mentioned their minus four turnover margin.
They had four turnovers against Houston another game they dominated that.
(11:25):
You looked up in the fourth court and said, how
is this a one score game? You started doing that
against Washington on Sunday night and Jaden Daniels is Bible
to make a play and all of a sudden you're
lose it. So that's where they are right now.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
To me, Greg bellis with us our Seahawks insider.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Well, if they're rounding up their cattle, I know a
great place all the commanders cowboys should look in the
training room. That's where most of the price cows are
right now. For this roster. Terry mclaurin's not going to play.
How does that change things for Mike McDonald.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Well, honestly, McDonald focuses on the stopping the run first,
making the one dimensional, trying to get your pass rush
to affect the quarterback on long third downs, and McLaren
has nothing to do with all that. Never gonna use
Deebo Samuel as something of a runner. The Seahawks have
seen that more than anybody in the league. The forty
nine ers using Samuel that way, but they don't have
too many backs. They traded Brian Robinson, Austin Eckler's on
(12:23):
injured reserve out for the year. They just got some
dudes back there. They got hyphenated names and a bunch
of other guys I never heard of. That's they're running back,
which is why Jayden Daniels off in the runs when
he's healthy, and why they're going to use Deebo Samuel
some more so. To me, Samuel is a bigger concern
even if McLaren was in there, because of his multi
dimensional use and what he's done to the Seahawks in
(12:45):
the past. I think that McDonald's game plan would be
to focus primarily on everything that Deebo Samuel could possibly
do to them, not to mention Jayden Daniels. Yes, he's
coming off the hamstring injury. Say he may not run
as much or tested as much, but if he's playing,
then he's going to play. It's not like you can
tell a twenty two to twenty three year old quarterback.
Just don't run if they're pressuring you because you've been
(13:07):
hurt recently. He's going to take off running and he's
going to be a threat outside the pocket.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah, I mean, my key, I've been thinking, you just
got to kind of make sure you control the run game.
And that's Jayden Daniels and Deebo Samuel and the Crosskey
Merrit Kid. I mean, they statistically have been the most
stout as far as we're rushing yards allowed up to
this point.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Number one in the league.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
And so does it just keep doing what you've been doing,
because I mean, outside of Kyler Murray, I suppose maybe
even I guess yeah, he said Kyler Murray, I think would
probably be the only one that I can think of
a running quarterback.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
They haven't had this kind of dual threat.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Now, this is almost maybe even a triple threat of
guys that can run the ball for them.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Yeah. I would submit to Baker Mayfield as well, not
a running quarterback, as a quarterback back can run and
extend plays and take off up the field. And he
killed them, absolutely killed them. They've had trouble containing the edge.
They've had trouble tackling, including quarterbacks in the open field,
and that will be that Jayden Daniels, even with coming
(14:13):
off a hamstring injury, will will expose if you have
problems in those regards on Sunday night, I I'm just
when they are statistically number one in the league against
the run, but when you sit and watch a game,
teams just don't run a lot against them. They haven't
had an early down success. They've had a lot of
long third downs that have caused them to throw even
(14:34):
long second downs that have put in passing situations, and
that has fed into this pressure rate. The Seahawks have
be able to generate in long yardage. The teams just
haven't done it a lot to test them. Then Washington
the other night, they had a very sharp opening drive
with run and pass and then they end up with
just sixty yards for the whole game for rushing. They
(14:55):
only had five rushing attempts after halftime and a score
that was it was tie and then a one score
fourteen to seven game until late in the third quarter,
and they didn't even try to run. And part of
what Seattle's run defense success has been is teams don't
run against them because they've been in long yardis off
of early down failures. That's the rest of the McDonald's
(15:16):
keep trying to replicate every year every week. I mean,
the defensive game plan is boiled down most simply is
stop them on early downs, so it's second and third
and long so you can then dictate. You could pressure,
you could blitz, you can disguise and change coverages, you
can do a lot of things. The other thing that's
going to change for Seattle with Nick even Worry and
(15:37):
Devin Witherspoon on the field Sunday night for the first
time since the first five players of the year, is
McDonald's gonna blitz more. We mentioned that he's got a
really low blitz rate compared to what he expected to.
He said, he's not at all played like he thought
he was going to be playing this year. But now
with even Worry and Witherspoon back, they're gonna blitz more
out of the back end, and that's going to change
(15:57):
the pressure in how Seattle gets the quarterback. Now, of course,
the dangers you're blitzing Jadan Daniels, You've got to be
pretty quick and pretty latterly able to run laterly to
catch him going outside, but I'm expecting to see more
pressure than four on Sunday night that we've been seeing
in a while.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Awesome stuff. Thank you, Greg, We appreciate it. Have a
great weekend and we'll talk to you Monday morning.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Okay, happy weekend. Thank you, Greg Bell.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Our Seahawks insider again at g Bell Seattle on X
and of course Thenewstribune dot com. A segment with US
is sponsored by Delakato Family Wines. They offer a portfolio
of premium wines from a selection of the most desirable
vineyards from notable wine growing regions throughout California, Germany, and Chile.
The winery harvest grapes from more than six thousand acres
(16:47):
of estate vineyards in California's Napa, Lowde Monterey and Sonoma regions.
The craft wines that express the diversity of these appellations.
Delakato Family Wines. It's the Greg Bell family of one. Yeah,
and every Bell family likes it.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
If the Bell family, I should like it exactly all right.
Coming up next on the radio program, We're gonna play
some Factor fiction at seven thirty five. Also another example
of how maybe the Seahawks have been masquerading here on
Halloween Sports.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You know, I was going to talk a seahawk thing
and then do ghost stories at seven forty five, but
that just reminded me of my ghost that we experienced yesterday.
So maybe we talk about ghost stories right now, getting
into factor fiction if he likes you, Friedric, Yeah, yesterday
a ghost.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Appeared on our show live on our radio show, right
in the middle of it all.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Yeah, Bucky was Yeah, Bucky didn't even know what to
do when he heard it because he was so terrifle.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
We were on a zoom call, Greg Bell. We were
doing the roundtable yesterday, Greg Bell, you Millin. I mean
we could see everybody, right, we could see them. We're
on a zoom call while we're doing the segment, and
there was this mysterious like noise. It sounded like slimer
like eating and drinking and breathing heavily and like it
just was very disruptive. And then this start this stuff
(18:09):
started like right in the middle of the segment, and
and I'm watching both of our guests, and I know
I can see both of the two other members here
of the show, and that was not matching up the
audio with anything that Hugh and Greg were doing. And
then I'm like, well, maybe because Hugh was drinking like
(18:30):
a Sodi pop or something. I'm like, maybe we're on delay.
And I almost like went to my talkback button with Ashley.
I said, I think we're on delay because I'm hearing
all that slurping that Hugh must be doing. Yeah, on delay.
And then I asked you a question and he answered
(18:50):
it immediately, so we weren't on delay. The only conclusion
logically that you can draw is that a ghost appeared
on our show yesterday, and I think it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah. Well, I know you like ghosts.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
You like the idea of it, except for the Oregon
Coast ghost, You're not a fan of that.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
They swing alone.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yeah, and the than your phone rings, that was an
odd one, great ghost story. Yeah, I still think it
probably is just a technology glitch.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Before that was stupid.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
I think I think it's more logical, uh, than than
a ghost. I think that because we did hear we
did hear you drink take a drink, and then this
was one.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, I know I must be the high one.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, right now, do you acknowledge that that's a possibility
tell me that this is the show most time issue drugs.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Listen. I think that's something weird you're doing in there.
That was on our show yesterday. I didn't hear that
on our show.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
That's yeah, there was something, and then actually just sort
of isolated on it.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That's what was coming over our airwaves. There wasn't another.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Audio pot up open, nothing, Hugh's head wasn't spinning around,
Greg Bell wasn't puking up pea soup. Nothing, nothing visual
was causing any of those noises, and yet they appeared.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Out of nowhere.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I thought maybe someone had just logged onto our remote
access and was just sitting there listening and having a beverage.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
But there wasn't anyone there.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Ghost ghost, I have another ghost story to tell.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Got a lot piled, a lot of them, likestories. You've
got really good ones.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'll scare their pants off of you. Yeah,
you will scare this onesie off of me. Yeah, like
Bucky's like, please scare the ones off. Oh my god, about.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I must strip all my clothes off. No ghosts, don't
take me, just take my clothes.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah that's where I say, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Let's play some Factor Fiction. We're set to go.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day feels lucky.
Factor Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
All right, I just remembered it as my pick.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Oh you have one earlier that I don't think got taken.
Remember this week you said college.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'm true.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I was gonna see if anybody had taken the Seahawks.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
They somebody took the Seahawks minas three and a half.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, okay, then good, then I'll just go ahead and
take this. Don't know what the line is right now, though,
because I honestly just got caught off for you. It's
the Great Cocktail Party. It's Georgia versus Florida. I don't
care how many points that the Florida Gators are getting.
They're losing, and they're gonna lose soundly to the Georgia
Bullet and a half seven and a half.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So I'm gonna take the Georgia Bulldogs. That's not a
home field game, even though it says at Florida that's
in Jacksonville, Florida, that spits spits splits the difference between
Athens and Gainesville. And so that's a neutral field game.
So there's not even some great home field advantage that
Florida is gonna glean from this contest.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Either.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
There'll be more Georgia Bulldog fans than Florida Gator fans
in the stands. So I'm gonna take the Georgia Bulldogs,
a much better team. And I think that there's also
another element to this as well, And this is I
think part of the nil world that we're in, this
college football coaching firing thing.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Once upon a time you.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Might rally around your coach being fired. They've had two
weeks off, they had a bye week last week, They've
had two weeks off. You think they thought about, man,
let's show the world what Gator football is about. Maybe,
but I think probably in today's world, they spent two
weeks thinking where am I going to transfer?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Most likely Coach Napier is the reason I came here.
He's not here with us anymore. He even got fired
after a win. So where do I want to play
football next year. I think they spent the two weeks
trying to figure out where they're going to go to
next season. I think George is coming in here with
a national championship to play for, and the Gators are
(23:38):
coming in here thinking about where they're going to go
to college next year. So give me the Georgia Bulldogs
in a blowout over the Florida Gators. I'll lay the
seven and a half points on a neutral field. The
Bulldogs are winning by eight points or more. All right,
I like the conviction.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
If you agree with the selection, go ahead and text
fact to four nine four five one. If you disagree
with the pick, texts fiction two.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Four nine four five one.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
If you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
for one thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
If you're wrong, who cares?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Try again the next time, because every single time you
play and win, you get your name entered into that
one thousand dollars cash prize drawing, And if you're right
enough this year, then ten thousand dollars will be yours.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
The winner of our Factor Fiction season gets a ten
thousand dollars prize from Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where
every day feels lucky and every day you have an
eagle screech at you, which is magical, it's scary. They're
going twenty four every Friday and Saturday. Twenty four hour
(24:44):
gaming starts November seventh at Luckyeagle dot com. So I'm
taking the Georgia Bulldogs minus seven and a half points
at the cocktail party in Jacksonville. So if you agree
that the Bulldogs will win by eight points or more
against Florida, text fact to four nine four or five
to one. If you disagree, text fiction to four nine
(25:07):
four five one. Your next opportunity to play this morning
is at eleven thirty five with Mark James and Christopher
Kidd right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Coming up next, I'll bring up that other masquerade situation
going on with the Seahawks Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ RFM.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You think that's weird though, Ah.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
That's odd. Yeah, she's that.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Popular, Yeah, and she's actually good.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
She's actually good at it.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, it's weird. She got a record contract.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I think there are some that are very popular that
aren't that. Oh, yeah, for sure, but yeah, yeah, she's
pretty good. But I don't think you stick around as
long as Rihanna if you're not good.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Pretty good in her craft.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah, she should stick with this career. Yeah, I think
you should stick with it and not be risked to
jump over to sports talk radio. It's working for you, rereach,
which is probably your dream job. Probably most Yes, she
could be wearing a onesie right now with us.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Probably is still wearing a onesie wanting.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Her onesies are sexy.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
You'll make it sexy for you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
See, I have seen a lot of Bucki's upper torso today,
A lot of it, A lot more than I bargained
for it.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
When I brought in the show sheets earlier, I almost
felt like I needed to look away, Like I felt
like I was like staring at too much cleavage.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Seem like a guy at a swimming pool.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
But it's not usually unzipped to just show like the
deep v it feels like you're feels like, so.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I take it the entire top part of it.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
More comfortable, feels uncomfortable, all right, this one had this
onesie idea, and I wouldn't this.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I didn't factor in because he's doing it again.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, he is just taking it off. It's jugging Box
Sports Radio ninety three point three k A r f M.
We got the show coming your way. Here at the
top of the hour, eight top stories of the day.
We'll get you ready for the weekend. Wrap up the
week with the front Ocho plus Hughes coming.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Coach is coming.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
We got a lot more to do on this program.
I mentioned at the beginning of the show that the
Seahawks a little bit of a masquerade. I don't think
that the offensive line was some villain, some monster, and
then all of a sudden, Gray's Abel came in and oh,
we've just took off our masks.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
We're actually really good. I think maybe there was more
that went into it. I think it was a little deceiving.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I think that there was a lot more that I
had to do with quarterbacks not getting rid of the
football than it did that our offensive line was just
the worst thing ever. And then this year it's fixed
because of Grey's Abel. Another thing that may have been
masking arraiding around since the beginning of the year. And
I want to compare DK Metcalf with Terry McLaurin, who
(27:48):
are getting ready to face and I think Terry mclaurin's
a terrific wide receiver, but is he like upper echelon?
Is he on that top tier? Is he Jamar Chase?
Is he justin Jefferson? I think we all agreed no, right,
he's not on the top tier. And yet he got
thirty two million dollars a year this year to disrupt
(28:11):
camp and then get hurt, and he hasn't really contributed.
And even when he does contribute, I mean, they were
looking to Deebo Samuel more than McLaurin in games that
even McLaren was playing, and you paid thirty two million
dollars a year for this guy. I think it's time
maybe to give credit to John Schneider for a very
(28:33):
difficult DK metcalf situation and decision that he had made
from earlier this year, because we were in the similar
vote and decided not to give the second tier wide
receiver the first tier money for wide receiver to put
faith that Jackson Smith and Jigba is our future wide
receiver one and even though it would be nice, it
(28:57):
would be luxurious to be able to have both of
these guys on the field at the exact same time.
Can we spend that thirty million dollars more effectively in
the off season getting a DeMarcus Lawrence. I mean, Cooper
Cup obviously is part of that equation without DK Metcalf,
but by going with Cupp and then you gave yourself
(29:18):
the chance to add other pieces to this team. Plus
you're not hamstrung going forward as the decline starts in
Terry mclaurin's game now that he's over thirty, and the
decline starts potentially in DKs game, even though he still
looks just as you know, athletic as ever. So I
think there's time. It's time to, like halfway through this season,
(29:41):
to give credit because that was not an easy decision.
It's one that we bantered about for a long, long
period of time, and I think John Schneider nailed it
by saying I like to have him, but it just
makes more sense to move off of DK Metcalf right now,
get a little bit of return trade while we can
(30:01):
and turn our future wide receiver one position over to
number eleven.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Well, instead of putting a bunch of eggs into that
one basket. Is as good as that basket looks, it
hadn't performed that way now there's a part of me
that it would is curious, right if you could have
a pill and go back now and see what DK
looks like with Sam Darnold versus Geno Smith. There's a
part of me it's like, maybe he wouldn't be second tier,
(30:29):
maybe he actually would be worthy of the money that
he's getting paid.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
That said, I do think that that you have to
make difficult decisions. I think that's one of the things
that does get overlooked for GMS across the board is
sometimes you have to say goodbye to something that you
really really like because you can get three things that
you like and three you know, the sum of the
parts might meet me equal more than just the amount
of what you thought you could get. Or you would
(30:57):
hope that you get out of a big, high price
player like what DK was expecting.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, you extended Ernest Jones and gave him a pay raise.
I mean think about that. I mean, I don't think
DeMarcus Lawrence is you know, dominated or anything. And Cooper
Cup obviously has been very used very little. And yeah,
we could entertain the prospect of having DK and JSN
together with Sam.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Darnold throwing them footballs.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Absolutely but I think that Washington might have made a mistake.
Maybe they should have traded Terry McLaurin rather than sign
him to a long term extension. Everybody in the league
now talking about how the Commanders, we didn't really notice
how old they were when they were making their push
to the NFC title game, and that could have been
(31:42):
an opportunity for them to get a couple younger pieces
for an older receiver and max out his value without
having to pay him thirty two million dollars a year,
which he might not be worth.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Right, Yeah, Yeah, I think I definitely think that it's
time to give Schneider the full credit for that move.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I think it was the right move.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
I know, obviously a difficult move to do in the
way that he was questioned, not just locally but nashally,
like what is he doing this is?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I mean especially nationally.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Actually, they thought the Seahawks were going to be terrible
because you got rid of Geno Smith and DK metcalf
And I used this word earlier, but I'll use it again.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I just think it was a solid plan.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Like what has transpired now you've got more of a
well rounded opportunity.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
We are a better football teaes this year than we
were a youre yes at this time. So anyway, just
a thought both of those things crossed my mind as
I was driving into work this morning. I do want
to mention one last thing before we go to the
top of the break right now, and I don't even
know why it's on, but Steven A. Smith's talk show
is on our television right now, and Ryan Clark today
(32:51):
because it's Halloween, dressed up as the Mad Hatter.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Oh and it's a great costume.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
He's got the crush velvet purple you know, jacket and
the big orange top hat and so he dressed up
for Halloween. And what's funny about it is Cam Newton
did not dress up for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
And they look exactly the sounds amazing.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
He's mad Hattering the Mad Hatter though, oh man, he's like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Do you think that's a costume. This is my everyday attired.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I don't know if he's dressed yeah, maybe he's dressed
as Cam.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I don't know. I thought it was the Mad Hatter, but.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That's actually really funny. Maybe it is Kim all right,
Friday OHO's next
Drown to its feet.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're on fourth and goal to two, say Flowers motions
snow back to the right side the snap. Lamore rolling
out to his right, throws talk back of the end zone. Touchdown,
Ravens more Gandrews down to the ground to make the grab.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Baltimore caps off on the fumble.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Recovery deep in Miami territory had Lamar Jackson throws his
first touchdown passage week four, back to throw, back pedaling,
back pedaling towards the end zone.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Talk to five, Mark.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Andrews to the goal line, touchdown.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Ravens Baltimore's tight end with his second touchdown grab of
the first half, and it's thirteen to three Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Fifty seconds into the second quarter, one on the play clock.
This snap a play faith back to throw in.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The pocket, dancing in the pocket park for.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The middle touch down.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Baltimore Rashon Bateman in the back of the end zone.
It's the fourth touchdown of the game for Lamar Jackson
and Jenn's it's a bad omen to be very.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Capable of being in the lead and being behind. What
his press conference was something they're kind of all like that. No,
I don't know I don't know if he's doing it
intentionally he's a genius and he just throws people off,
or if he really is just that loss I am
(01:25):
thrown off the Yeah, I don't know if he's just
thrown off, doesn't know what to say, and so it
just comes out as gobbledegook every single press conference that
he has, especially those after losses. And it was a
loss last night for the Miami Dolphins twenty eight to
six to the Baltimore Ravens, who look like they're getting
right right before our eyes. Not a fun day to
(01:46):
have Derrick Henry and fantasy football, I'll tell you that.
Just get it inside the twenty and then Lamar just
throws touchdown pass four touchdown passes for Lamar Jackson and
a twenty eight to six win over the Dolphins on
Thursday Night Football. This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs will
be taking on the Buffalo Bills. That's the big game
this Sunday. But Sunday Night Seahawks taking on the Washington Commanders.
(02:10):
And we'll talk to Greg Bell here in a matter
of seconds. First though, let me breeze through these frost
brewed course light. Choose chill headlines. It's also week ten
of the college football season, my whereas the Time Gone
Huskies are on buy this week, but the Koogs in
action against conference rival Oregon State kickoff.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
At four point thirty.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
There Also, Sounders won't play until Monday, Game two or
match two of their three match series with Minnesota United,
and Brian Schmitzer in company have to win back to
back matches in order to advance in the tournament. College
basketball season will start in three days on that Monday
as well. Nearly two hundred college basketball games will be
(02:51):
played on Monday, believe it or not, and World Series
Game number six is tonight. This is the first chance
either team has to close out the series become World champs,
as the Blue Jays are up three games to two,
but they will have to face the hottest pitcher in
the entire postseason, as Yamamoto is pitching for the Dodgers tonight.
Those are your frost brewed course light Choose chill headlines.
(03:15):
Now let's talk to Greg Bell. Good morning, Greg, Good morning.
A lot to talk about with this commander's game, but
just so we don't risk running out of tom I
want to ask you about something that you closed our
roundtable discussion with yesterday and we just kind of threw
it out there and we didn't have time to discuss
it at all. So I want you to elaborate a
(03:35):
little bit on this boy A Mafe rumor as we
sit here just a few days short of the NFL
trade deadline.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Well, I mean, I'm guilty of just supposition here, but
boy Mafe plays a position of premium value in the
NFL edge rusher, and he plays every down, and he
hasn't had the production of a guy that you'd want
to re sign beyond his rookie contract ending this year.
And those are ingredients of potential trade because other teams
(04:05):
know the value of his position. He's under a relatively
inexpensive rookie deal. It would be something of a rental now,
but they could envision if they liked his production for
half a season to resign him. But at the very least,
you're augmenting a spot that in the NFL is paramount.
It's either throw the ball or pressure the guy who
throws the ball. That's basically the NFL today. And Mafey
(04:30):
has not been what they need him to be. And
Derek Hall being out has exacerbated that fact Hall's injury.
He's been a limited participant in practice all week. But
they need those two guys, and despite the pressure that
the four down linemen have given the team, they mostly
affected quarterbacks without Derek Hall and Boy Mafey involve too
(04:53):
much consistently in that. So it's more of a piecing
together the situation, the current circumstances around him, and the
fact that to me, unlike Wolan, who has been penalized
highly and been beaten for big plays and high profile moments,
(05:14):
is also at the end of his rookie deal, I
think maffe would have more of attraction over time. He
has been a guy who has affected quarterbacks in the
previous seasons more than he has there. So I'm not
saying it's going to happen. I don't know that it's
gonna that the Seahawks are going to make any trades,
because for all the talk about trades before the trade deadline,
(05:34):
there were only eighteen of them in the thirty two
team league last year. The Seahawks, of course, or one
of them with Oars Jones that transformed their defense, But
I'm not sure I see a transformation type of move
The Seahawks are going to make between down and two day.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
If they were going to make something, where do you
think they should make Where?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Where should they.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Upgrade the interior line, offensive defensive lines, defensive tap depth.
They have an issue at right guard. Anthony Bradford's still there, largely,
I think because they don't feel they have anybody in
the house that can take his place. They had signed
Shane Lemue with the practice squad. He'd been a starter
with Klitt kobe K system last year in New Orleans,
(06:16):
and now he's gone. He was on the practice squad
a couple of weeks and then they put him on
practice squad injured reserve, and I'm still never quite got
to the bottom of how he got hurt on the
practice squad. And Christian Haynes just returned this week from
the injured reservlist to practice. He's had about four different
chances in a year and a half under three four
different coaches to win that job, and he hasn't won it.
(06:40):
So Anthony Bradford is almost the right guard by default
at this point, and he's given up a lot in
pass protection and he hasn't in the entire line hasn't
performed run blocking like they'd hoped so, defensive tackle guard.
Those are the areas that not just now, but longer term,
(07:01):
they need depth.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Greig Bell is with US our Shawks insider, joining us
here on Chucking Buck in the Morning. You can of
course follow him at gmail, Seattle on X, or his
complete coverage of the Seahawks for you at Thenewstribune dot com.
All right, so is there any hope that Julian Love
is playing on Sunday or has that been dashed?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
I don't think so. When McDonald chuck puts out, well,
we're considering injured reserve for him. That doesn't mean he's
going to play in four days. I mean he's the
opposite and he has been not a practice. He was
out on the practice field yesterday but did not participate
in practice. I saw him coming in from the field.
But there's nothing to suggest he's going to play. I'm
(07:42):
expecting to be listed us out today. Derek Hall has
been a limited participant coming off his hip injury from
a couple of games ago, and that's better than nothing.
Of course, I think he's going to be questionable. Devin
Witherspoon's been full go all week because he looks like
he's going to play for the first time since Week
four at Arizona, and we've talked about how that may
(08:03):
have it moving the chairs around effect and including potentially
week Woolen depending on whether they want to put Whittishman
inside or outside. Can't see him moving Nick emn worry
out of at Nickel. He's just been too good and
too impacting there to change the rookie for what he's
been doing the last few weeks that Witherspoon has been out,
(08:23):
so they're getting better and healthier, but they still won't
be whole in the secondary because Love is out. It
bears repeating this team has not had its starting secondary
together since the fifth play of the season. Yea, Yet
they're five and two and being led by their defense often.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Gee, I mean, Chuck and I I think are a
little bit different and far as far as how confident
going into this game. I do think the Seahawks are better.
I think they're playing better football. I think they're healthier.
They're not worried about their quarterbacks health going into the game.
And yet there's a part of me that just kind
of feels like, boy, you still better go out there
and play a really good game, because I think that
(09:00):
the ceiling of the Commanders could still be pretty high
if Jaden Daniels goes out there and balls the way
he should. So confidence level going into this, I mean,
everything looks like you should win this ball game, but
how confident are you that they will?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Not? A lot? This is still a Commander's team that
went to the NFC title game last year. They are
a shell of themselves. To help wise, I mentioned they
missing both their defense, starting defensive end and starting safety.
They've had issues on the offensive line and other quarterback's
been hurt, although Jalen Daniels has practiced fully all week
coming off the hamstring injury to causing to miss the
(09:35):
mind of night game. Maybe the most dangerous thing about
this game for the Seahawks and having from the Commanders
is the Commanders are desperate. They've lost three in a row.
They're three and five. They're talking in Washington about trading
some of their older players to get draft picks and
build for the future. Is there's something of a rounding
(09:56):
up of the cattle for a last charge mental going
on Washington right now, and there are a lot of
older players in that team that maybe at the end
of their tenures in Washington, that they're at the tipping
point of a season of whether this still matters to
them or not. And if they lose this game to
go to three and six, all of a sudden, they
may be looking forward to the end of their tenures
(10:19):
in a long season, and they could get traded before Tuesday.
So this is a pivotal game for them. Obviously, they
could go either four and five and still be there
or three and six on a four game losing streak.
So you're going to see a very desperate team playing
on its home field in the primetime game with their
quarterback returning from injury. All of that suggests a pretty
(10:40):
strong challenge to winning that game if you're the road team.
And again, the Seahawks are not a dominant dynamo that
just runs over teams. We've seen that time and again,
even the Jacksonville game that they completely controlled him. We're
winning twenty to six, Suddenly look up in the fourth quarter,
it's twenty to twelve and Jacksonville has the ball at
midfield trying to drive for the tying score. And I
(11:03):
remember sitting in that press box in jackson a couple
weeks ago, and how is this game close? The Jaguars
haven't even close to competing for most of the day,
and yet it was a one score game. That's where
the Seahawks are right now. They make enough mistakes. They
turned the ball over and mentioned their minus four turnover margin.
They had four turnovers against Houston another game they dominated that.
(11:25):
You looked up in the fourth court and said, how
is this a one score game? You started doing that
against Washington on Sunday night and Jaden Daniels is Bible
to make a play and all of a sudden you're
lose it. So that's where they are right now.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
To me, Greg bellis with us our Seahawks insider.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Well, if they're rounding up their cattle, I know a
great place all the commanders cowboys should look in the
training room. That's where most of the price cows are
right now. For this roster. Terry mclaurin's not going to play.
How does that change things for Mike McDonald.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Well, honestly, McDonald focuses on the stopping the run first,
making the one dimensional, trying to get your pass rush
to affect the quarterback on long third downs, and McLaren
has nothing to do with all that. Never gonna use
Deebo Samuel as something of a runner. The Seahawks have
seen that more than anybody in the league. The forty
nine ers using Samuel that way, but they don't have
too many backs. They traded Brian Robinson, Austin Eckler's on
(12:23):
injured reserve out for the year. They just got some
dudes back there. They got hyphenated names and a bunch
of other guys I never heard of. That's they're running back,
which is why Jayden Daniels off in the runs when
he's healthy, and why they're going to use Deebo Samuel
some more so. To me, Samuel is a bigger concern
even if McLaren was in there, because of his multi
dimensional use and what he's done to the Seahawks in
(12:45):
the past. I think that McDonald's game plan would be
to focus primarily on everything that Deebo Samuel could possibly
do to them, not to mention Jayden Daniels. Yes, he's
coming off the hamstring injury. Say he may not run
as much or tested as much, but if he's playing,
then he's going to play. It's not like you can
tell a twenty two to twenty three year old quarterback.
Just don't run if they're pressuring you because you've been
(13:07):
hurt recently. He's going to take off running and he's
going to be a threat outside the pocket.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
Yeah, I mean, my key, I've been thinking, you just
got to kind of make sure you control the run game.
And that's Jayden Daniels and Deebo Samuel and the Crosskey
Merrit Kid. I mean, they statistically have been the most
stout as far as we're rushing yards allowed up to
this point.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Number one in the league.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
And so does it just keep doing what you've been doing,
because I mean, outside of Kyler Murray, I suppose maybe
even I guess yeah, he said Kyler Murray, I think would
probably be the only one that I can think of
a running quarterback.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
They haven't had this kind of dual threat.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Now, this is almost maybe even a triple threat of
guys that can run the ball for them.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Yeah. I would submit to Baker Mayfield as well, not
a running quarterback, as a quarterback back can run and
extend plays and take off up the field. And he
killed them, absolutely killed them. They've had trouble containing the edge.
They've had trouble tackling, including quarterbacks in the open field,
and that will be that Jayden Daniels, even with coming
(14:13):
off a hamstring injury, will will expose if you have
problems in those regards on Sunday night, I I'm just
when they are statistically number one in the league against
the run, but when you sit and watch a game,
teams just don't run a lot against them. They haven't
had an early down success. They've had a lot of
long third downs that have caused them to throw even
(14:34):
long second downs that have put in passing situations, and
that has fed into this pressure rate. The Seahawks have
be able to generate in long yardage. The teams just
haven't done it a lot to test them. Then Washington
the other night, they had a very sharp opening drive
with run and pass and then they end up with
just sixty yards for the whole game for rushing. They
(14:55):
only had five rushing attempts after halftime and a score
that was it was tie and then a one score
fourteen to seven game until late in the third quarter,
and they didn't even try to run. And part of
what Seattle's run defense success has been is teams don't
run against them because they've been in long yardis off
of early down failures. That's the rest of the McDonald's
(15:16):
keep trying to replicate every year every week. I mean,
the defensive game plan is boiled down most simply is
stop them on early downs, so it's second and third
and long so you can then dictate. You could pressure,
you could blitz, you can disguise and change coverages, you
can do a lot of things. The other thing that's
going to change for Seattle with Nick even Worry and
(15:37):
Devin Witherspoon on the field Sunday night for the first
time since the first five players of the year, is
McDonald's gonna blitz more. We mentioned that he's got a
really low blitz rate compared to what he expected to.
He said, he's not at all played like he thought
he was going to be playing this year. But now
with even Worry and Witherspoon back, they're gonna blitz more
out of the back end, and that's going to change
(15:57):
the pressure in how Seattle gets the quarterback. Now, of course,
the dangers you're blitzing Jadan Daniels, You've got to be
pretty quick and pretty latterly able to run laterly to
catch him going outside, but I'm expecting to see more
pressure than four on Sunday night that we've been seeing
in a while.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Awesome stuff. Thank you, Greg, We appreciate it. Have a
great weekend and we'll talk to you Monday morning.

Coming up next on the radio program, We're gonna play
some Factor fiction at seven thirty five. Also another example
of how maybe the Seahawks have been masquerading here on
Halloween Sports.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You know, I was going to talk a seahawk thing
and then do ghost stories at seven forty five, but
that just reminded me of my ghost that we experienced yesterday.
So maybe we talk about ghost stories right now, getting
into factor fiction if he likes you, Friedric, Yeah, yesterday
a ghost.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Appeared on our show live on our radio show, right
in the middle of it all.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Yeah, Bucky was Yeah, Bucky didn't even know what to
do when he heard it because he was so terrifle.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
We were on a zoom call, Greg Bell. We were
doing the roundtable yesterday, Greg Bell, you Millin. I mean
we could see everybody, right, we could see them. We're
on a zoom call while we're doing the segment, and
there was this mysterious like noise. It sounded like slimer
like eating and drinking and breathing heavily and like it
just was very disruptive. And then this start this stuff
(18:09):
started like right in the middle of the segment, and
and I'm watching both of our guests, and I know
I can see both of the two other members here
of the show, and that was not matching up the
audio with anything that Hugh and Greg were doing. And
then I'm like, well, maybe because Hugh was drinking like
(18:30):
a Sodi pop or something. I'm like, maybe we're on delay.
And I almost like went to my talkback button with Ashley.
I said, I think we're on delay because I'm hearing
all that slurping that Hugh must be doing. Yeah, on delay.
And then I asked you a question and he answered
(18:50):
it immediately, so we weren't on delay. The only conclusion
logically that you can draw is that a ghost appeared
on our show yesterday, and I think it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah. Well, I know you like ghosts.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
You like the idea of it, except for the Oregon
Coast ghost, You're not a fan of that.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
They swing alone.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
Yeah, and the than your phone rings, that was an
odd one, great ghost story. Yeah, I still think it
probably is just a technology glitch.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Before that was stupid.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
I think I think it's more logical, uh, than than
a ghost. I think that because we did hear we
did hear you drink take a drink, and then this
was one.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, yeah, I know I must be the high one.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, right now, do you acknowledge that that's a possibility
tell me that this is the show most time issue drugs.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Listen. I think that's something weird you're doing in there.
That was on our show yesterday. I didn't hear that
on our show.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
That's yeah, there was something, and then actually just sort
of isolated on it.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That's what was coming over our airwaves. There wasn't another.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Audio pot up open, nothing, Hugh's head wasn't spinning around,
Greg Bell wasn't puking up pea soup. Nothing, nothing visual
was causing any of those noises, and yet they appeared.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Out of nowhere.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
I thought maybe someone had just logged onto our remote
access and was just sitting there listening and having a beverage.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
But there wasn't anyone there.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Ghost ghost, I have another ghost story to tell.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Got a lot piled, a lot of them, likestories. You've
got really good ones.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, I'll scare their pants off of you. Yeah,
you will scare this onesie off of me. Yeah, like
Bucky's like, please scare the ones off. Oh my god, about.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
I must strip all my clothes off. No ghosts, don't
take me, just take my clothes.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Yeah that's where I say, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Let's play some Factor Fiction. We're set to go.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Glad you're with us.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
It's your shot at our weekly thousand bucks and the
ten thousand dollars grand prize. It's Factor Fiction, probably presented
by Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where every day feels lucky.
Factor Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ R FM.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
All right, I just remembered it as my pick.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Oh you have one earlier that I don't think got taken.
Remember this week you said college.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'm true.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
I was gonna see if anybody had taken the Seahawks.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
They somebody took the Seahawks minas three and a half.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, okay, then good, then I'll just go ahead and
take this. Don't know what the line is right now, though,
because I honestly just got caught off for you. It's
the Great Cocktail Party. It's Georgia versus Florida. I don't
care how many points that the Florida Gators are getting.
They're losing, and they're gonna lose soundly to the Georgia
Bullet and a half seven and a half.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So I'm gonna take the Georgia Bulldogs. That's not a
home field game, even though it says at Florida that's
in Jacksonville, Florida, that spits spits splits the difference between
Athens and Gainesville. And so that's a neutral field game.
So there's not even some great home field advantage that
Florida is gonna glean from this contest.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Either.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
There'll be more Georgia Bulldog fans than Florida Gator fans
in the stands. So I'm gonna take the Georgia Bulldogs,
a much better team. And I think that there's also
another element to this as well, And this is I
think part of the nil world that we're in, this
college football coaching firing thing.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Once upon a time you.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Might rally around your coach being fired. They've had two
weeks off, they had a bye week last week, They've
had two weeks off. You think they thought about, man,
let's show the world what Gator football is about. Maybe,
but I think probably in today's world, they spent two
weeks thinking where am I going to transfer?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Most likely Coach Napier is the reason I came here.
He's not here with us anymore. He even got fired
after a win. So where do I want to play
football next year. I think they spent the two weeks
trying to figure out where they're going to go to
next season. I think George is coming in here with
a national championship to play for, and the Gators are
(23:38):
coming in here thinking about where they're going to go
to college next year. So give me the Georgia Bulldogs
in a blowout over the Florida Gators. I'll lay the
seven and a half points on a neutral field. The
Bulldogs are winning by eight points or more. All right,
I like the conviction.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
If you agree with the selection, go ahead and text
fact to four nine four five one. If you disagree
with the pick, texts fiction two.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Four nine four five one.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
If you're right, we enter your name into a drawing
for one thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
If you're wrong, who cares?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Try again the next time, because every single time you
play and win, you get your name entered into that
one thousand dollars cash prize drawing, And if you're right
enough this year, then ten thousand dollars will be yours.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
The winner of our Factor Fiction season gets a ten
thousand dollars prize from Lucky Eagle Casino and hotel where
every day feels lucky and every day you have an
eagle screech at you, which is magical, it's scary. They're
going twenty four every Friday and Saturday. Twenty four hour
(24:44):
gaming starts November seventh at Luckyeagle dot com. So I'm
taking the Georgia Bulldogs minus seven and a half points
at the cocktail party in Jacksonville. So if you agree
that the Bulldogs will win by eight points or more
against Florida, text fact to four nine four or five
to one. If you disagree, text fiction to four nine
(25:07):
four five one. Your next opportunity to play this morning
is at eleven thirty five with Mark James and Christopher
Kidd right here at Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
Coming up next, I'll bring up that other masquerade situation
going on with the Seahawks Sports Radio ninety three point
three kJ RFM.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
You think that's weird though, Ah.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
That's odd. Yeah, she's that.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Popular, Yeah, and she's actually good.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
She's actually good at it.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, it's weird. She got a record contract.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I think there are some that are very popular that
aren't that. Oh, yeah, for sure, but yeah, yeah, she's
pretty good. But I don't think you stick around as
long as Rihanna if you're not good.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Pretty good in her craft.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah, she should stick with this career. Yeah, I think
you should stick with it and not be risked to
jump over to sports talk radio. It's working for you, rereach,
which is probably your dream job. Probably most Yes, she
could be wearing a onesie right now with us.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Probably is still wearing a onesie wanting.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Her onesies are sexy.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
You'll make it sexy for you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
See, I have seen a lot of Bucki's upper torso today,
A lot of it, A lot more than I bargained
for it.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
When I brought in the show sheets earlier, I almost
felt like I needed to look away, Like I felt
like I was like staring at too much cleavage.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Seem like a guy at a swimming pool.
Speaker 7 (26:29):
But it's not usually unzipped to just show like the
deep v it feels like you're feels like, so.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I take it the entire top part of it.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
More comfortable, feels uncomfortable, all right, this one had this
onesie idea, and I wouldn't this.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I didn't factor in because he's doing it again.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, he is just taking it off. It's jugging Box
Sports Radio ninety three point three k A r f M.
We got the show coming your way. Here at the
top of the hour, eight top stories of the day.
We'll get you ready for the weekend. Wrap up the
week with the front Ocho plus Hughes coming.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Coach is coming.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
We got a lot more to do on this program.
I mentioned at the beginning of the show that the
Seahawks a little bit of a masquerade. I don't think
that the offensive line was some villain, some monster, and
then all of a sudden, Gray's Abel came in and oh,
we've just took off our masks.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
We're actually really good. I think maybe there was more
that went into it. I think it was a little deceiving.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I think that there was a lot more that I
had to do with quarterbacks not getting rid of the
football than it did that our offensive line was just
the worst thing ever. And then this year it's fixed
because of Grey's Abel. Another thing that may have been
masking arraiding around since the beginning of the year. And
I want to compare DK Metcalf with Terry McLaurin, who
(27:48):
are getting ready to face and I think Terry mclaurin's
a terrific wide receiver, but is he like upper echelon?
Is he on that top tier? Is he Jamar Chase?
Is he justin Jefferson? I think we all agreed no, right,
he's not on the top tier. And yet he got
thirty two million dollars a year this year to disrupt
(28:11):
camp and then get hurt, and he hasn't really contributed.
And even when he does contribute, I mean, they were
looking to Deebo Samuel more than McLaurin in games that
even McLaren was playing, and you paid thirty two million
dollars a year for this guy. I think it's time
maybe to give credit to John Schneider for a very
(28:33):
difficult DK metcalf situation and decision that he had made
from earlier this year, because we were in the similar
vote and decided not to give the second tier wide
receiver the first tier money for wide receiver to put
faith that Jackson Smith and Jigba is our future wide
receiver one and even though it would be nice, it
(28:57):
would be luxurious to be able to have both of
these guys on the field at the exact same time.
Can we spend that thirty million dollars more effectively in
the off season getting a DeMarcus Lawrence. I mean, Cooper
Cup obviously is part of that equation without DK Metcalf,
but by going with Cupp and then you gave yourself
(29:18):
the chance to add other pieces to this team. Plus
you're not hamstrung going forward as the decline starts in
Terry mclaurin's game now that he's over thirty, and the
decline starts potentially in DKs game, even though he still
looks just as you know, athletic as ever. So I
think there's time. It's time to, like halfway through this season,
(29:41):
to give credit because that was not an easy decision.
It's one that we bantered about for a long, long
period of time, and I think John Schneider nailed it
by saying I like to have him, but it just
makes more sense to move off of DK Metcalf right now,
get a little bit of return trade while we can
(30:01):
and turn our future wide receiver one position over to
number eleven.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
Well, instead of putting a bunch of eggs into that
one basket. Is as good as that basket looks, it
hadn't performed that way now there's a part of me
that it would is curious, right if you could have
a pill and go back now and see what DK
looks like with Sam Darnold versus Geno Smith. There's a
part of me it's like, maybe he wouldn't be second tier,
(30:29):
maybe he actually would be worthy of the money that
he's getting paid.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
That said, I do think that that you have to
make difficult decisions. I think that's one of the things
that does get overlooked for GMS across the board is
sometimes you have to say goodbye to something that you
really really like because you can get three things that
you like and three you know, the sum of the
parts might meet me equal more than just the amount
of what you thought you could get. Or you would
(30:57):
hope that you get out of a big, high price
player like what DK was expecting.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, you extended Ernest Jones and gave him a pay raise.
I mean think about that. I mean, I don't think
DeMarcus Lawrence is you know, dominated or anything. And Cooper
Cup obviously has been very used very little. And yeah,
we could entertain the prospect of having DK and JSN
together with Sam.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Darnold throwing them footballs.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Absolutely but I think that Washington might have made a mistake.
Maybe they should have traded Terry McLaurin rather than sign
him to a long term extension. Everybody in the league
now talking about how the Commanders, we didn't really notice
how old they were when they were making their push
to the NFC title game, and that could have been
(31:42):
an opportunity for them to get a couple younger pieces
for an older receiver and max out his value without
having to pay him thirty two million dollars a year,
which he might not be worth.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Right, Yeah, Yeah, I think I definitely think that it's
time to give Schneider the full credit for that move.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I think it was the right move.
Speaker 7 (32:01):
I know, obviously a difficult move to do in the
way that he was questioned, not just locally but nashally,
like what is he doing this is?
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I mean especially nationally.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Actually, they thought the Seahawks were going to be terrible
because you got rid of Geno Smith and DK metcalf
And I used this word earlier, but I'll use it again.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
I just think it was a solid plan.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
Like what has transpired now you've got more of a
well rounded opportunity.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
We are a better football teaes this year than we
were a youre yes at this time. So anyway, just
a thought both of those things crossed my mind as
I was driving into work this morning. I do want
to mention one last thing before we go to the
top of the break right now, and I don't even
know why it's on, but Steven A. Smith's talk show
is on our television right now, and Ryan Clark today
(32:51):
because it's Halloween, dressed up as the Mad Hatter.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Oh and it's a great costume.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
He's got the crush velvet purple you know, jacket and
the big orange top hat and so he dressed up
for Halloween. And what's funny about it is Cam Newton
did not dress up for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
And they look exactly the sounds amazing.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
He's mad Hattering the Mad Hatter though, oh man, he's like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Do you think that's a costume. This is my everyday attired.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I don't know if he's dressed yeah, maybe he's dressed
as Cam.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I don't know. I thought it was the Mad Hatter, but.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
That's actually really funny. Maybe it is Kim all right,
