Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, joining us right now on the radio show,
no better way to get this thing going, no better
preview we want more than our friend Hugh Millen to
break this thing down with the Seahawks and Patriots today
coming up at 520.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hughie, how are you, man?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's here. Yeah, it's here.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's going to be electric.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, there's a lot to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Why don't we first of all start off, before we
talk football, with your thoughts on what happened off the
field today. The Coastal family, press conference at Lumen Field. Neera, Vinod,
and Neil, the three of them. I'm sure you watched it.
I'm sure you saw some clips from the press conference.
What'd you make of what you heard and saw?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well, I think they said mostly the right things, seem
very likable. Certainly they are high achievers and then some,
all three of them in their own right. I would
have asked, how do you characterize your sense of Paul
Allen and Jody Allen's involvement with the team? And how
will you be different, maybe more, maybe less, what have you?
(01:01):
That would be a question that I'd want to know.
I'm not sure he would have given a candid answer,
but I thought they were very engaging. And, you know,
I particularly made note of Neil because he's liable to
be the guy that is the long term steward of
this franchise. And there seemed to be a confidence in him.
I mean, he made me laugh out loud when when
(01:23):
the nod, I hope I said his name right. said
that we're not fancy people. And his son interrupts him
and says, you just ordered a sport coat custom, you know,
from Italy. What are we talking about here? Like the
ability to bust his dad's chops a little bit right
there on the fly. So, look, does that mean that
he's going to be a good owner? How the hell
(01:45):
do I know? I know this. You don't evaluate a
pilot on how he steers a plane in, you know,
sunny skies. you evaluate when the wind shear hits or
a flock of seagulls hit your engine. And until that happens,
we just don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Hugh, in the last segment, we played a cut from
Colin Coward, who is noted Seahawk believer this year, but
he said, Maybe his number one concern is the fact
that Ryan Fleury has never called a play in an
NFL regular season game, and he's 47 years of age.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I thought that last part was interesting. Is that a.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Concern that he got almost to a half a century
and never got hired by any team to call a play?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Potentially. I mean, basically all you can do is run
correlation numbers. Who are the most elite, considered the most
elite play callers, and what's the propensity that they had
really shined? In their 30s, well, it turns out that's
actually pretty strong. I mean, you look at Sean McVay,
Kyle Shanahan. We can go through this. Ben Johnson. Yeah,
(02:50):
Ben Johnson, Mike McDonald, even Jesse Minter. I think that
absolutely you'd say most of them, Collins got a point.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now, not all.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And so you just, you, for me, my faith in
Brian Flory is because Mike McDonald has faith in Brian Flory.
They had certainly extensive interviews and, and I think that
Mike McDonald's vision of how pro football should look is
so complete that he also understands how it's supposed to
(03:28):
look on offense. And of course he was the guy that, that,
that bounced grub after one year and had a different vision. So,
so that that's, the basis for my, you know, I
don't want to say I'm calm about it, but that
at least has me somewhat optimistic. But until we see
how he does it, how he handles it, and really
(03:50):
the number one thing I'm looking for today, you know,
the operation, obviously. You know, are you having false starts
and getting late, getting out of the huddle and delay
of games or anything? That would be horrible. But the
next thing is, how do you handle blitz? And in
the Super Bowl... The Patriots had a hell of a
blitz package. Sam Darnold and under the direction of Clint Kubiak,
(04:11):
they had their parameters how they were going to handle it.
They handled it pretty damn well. Now, Darnold technically had
more pressures against him than the Seahawks defense posed against
Drake May. And yet, Darnold just handled it so much better.
A good part of that's coaching. We'll see how that
goes tonight. But that's really what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
All right, well, I tell you what you're not going
to see is Nicky Manwari. He has been ruled out
along with Ty Okada. And I remember when Nicky Manwari
first got hurt, there were some folks around saying, ah,
no big deal, whatever, he'll be fine, blah, blah, blah,
not concerned. You were the one that I remember was
concerned the most from the start. And now here we are.
(04:52):
So all the people out there that were trying to
poo-poo this as a nothing burger, the guy's not going
to play. And then you wonder, is he going to
play next week? And then when he does come back, Hugh,
how problematic is that ankle going to be as the
season goes on? So talk about Eamon Worry and how
significant this is for him that he's not playing tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It's very concerning to me. It was concerning then when
he was on the PUP because then you're just saying, wait,
what in the hell has happened here? We got a
sprained ankle in a few days before the Super Bowl
that allowed him to play, and then there's two words.
My concern is based on two words in our language, okay?
One is lingering. Do we like the word lingering when.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We talk about? No, we do not.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, and then it's really, really evil language. sibling like
like you know sid dick you know in a toy
story you got kids you know you remember sid you
know it was you know you know defacing all the
toys yeah well the the sid of lingering is chronic
(05:56):
and i i do not want to have lingering uh
we're already seeing the signs of lingering and then chronic
ends up in a whole nother realm and you know
i just was teammates with uh i'm going to Mention
one that most people know if you're a football fan,
Shannon Sharp. He had a chronic ankle, and he couldn't practice.
(06:17):
He would limp in practice. He was constantly in the
training room, icing and getting shots before games, injections. And
this beautiful athlete, this incredible physique and specimen and a
Hall of Fame player, right? Um, but he just had
this ankle and, and I could list others. I'm not
going to go through my career and my teammates, but,
but yeah, it's, um, it's concerning. And here we are.
(06:39):
We had somebody on our way, airwaves come on and
say that his concern lever was in the negatives as
in zero is neutral. Negatives would be like the inverse of,
of being concerned. And I still have a bruise on
my forehead from my own palm when I heard that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm like, what?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
We have a negative concern? We're going to rate our
concern level to this to be a negative? So here
we are. I don't want to say it's heartbreaking. That
would be overboard. But it's a real disappointment because... because
Eamon Warrie in year two is just primed to have
(07:17):
this first-team NFL all-pro type of season under the direction
of Mike McDonald. He's so versatile.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
He's one of one.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And Seattle's going to try to replace him, but there's
nobody on that roster that can replace him. You're going
to have to take several men to replace him.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So, Hugh, Drake May clearly in February did not have
the ability or the weapons to exploit the Hawks' healthy secondary.
Does Drake May in September have the ability and the
weapons to exploit a banged up secondary?
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, here's the thing about Drake May. Look, I
understand based on how he played in the playoffs, you know,
that we're just kind of Drake May. And I've heard
a lot of that chatter. You know, the Patriots were
9-0 on the road last year. They won playoffs on
the road. He, Drake May, he was number one in
the following stats. I won't give the numbers. I'll just
(08:10):
tell you that he was number one in the NFL
in passer rating, adjusted net yards per attempt, explosive play rate, EPA,
expected point added per dropback, which is kind of the
new darling statistic for Sabre matricians. He then had a
big-time fall-off, won't cite the numbers. You know, expected completion percentage.
(08:31):
He was number one in the NFL. So this guy
was deserving of missing out on that MVP. Now he
gets A.J.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Brown.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Romeo Dobbs is really just kind of your garden variety
number two, but that's an upgrade given how weak the
Patriots were. And then A.J. Brown, if there's one man
on planet Earth who has more in common in all
attributes with D.K. Metcalfe, It's A.J. Brown, and he can
be a load. We know that. I mean, he's a
(09:00):
guy that was the AP Offensive Player of the Year
a few years ago at 1,500 yards receiving. So he's
going to be a problem, and I think it's one
of the reasons why, with Reek Woolen and all of
his length at 6'4, he's now a Philadelphia Eagle. All
of the hand-wringing that you saw from John Schneider in
terms of the– cornerback acquisitions and flirtations and what have
(09:28):
you this August says to me they don't feel quite right,
and A.J. Brown has a chance. He's got the ability
to exploit that tonight. Mike McDonald's going to have to
watch the coverages and roll to A.J. Brown if he
needs to and be mindful because now the Patriots had
a playmaker they didn't have in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Well, Hugh Millen's with us.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Jadarian Price is going to play in his first football
game since November 29th. of last year, because you remember
the Fighting Irish did not get into the CFP, and
Marcus Freeman said, we're not doing a bowl game, and
he pulled the plug.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Remember that?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So the last game, Jadarian Price played, and he had
six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown against Stanford,
a 49-20 win. We did not see him play in
the preseason. So I'm wondering if there's going to be
a little bit of potential rust on Jadarian Price tonight,
maybe early in this game. Do you worry about him
being sloppy, maybe putting the ball on the ground because
(10:21):
of that potentially? How much do you expect Brian Fleury
to lean on Jadarian Price tonight in the opener?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well, I think he's going to need to. And this
is kind of one of those, you know, this is
the fallout from the type of economic structure we have
in the NFL. I mean, this would be an example
where Scott Boris would come on and say, hey, why
should the Seahawks have to– to let a Super Bowl
MVP go. Now, you could say that this drives all
(10:52):
of the competitiveness and what have you. So here you
are having to rely on a rookie who had four fumbles. Dave,
you mentioned it. There is number three in the draft class.
So that's a concern. There's a concern about his durability,
where he had under 10 touches per game last year.
He never had a season of 125 carries in a year.
(11:15):
No first-round draft pick running back ever could make that claim.
So he just hasn't carried the workload. I mentioned to
you eyeballing him and then his listed weights, which are
at the combine, exactly 10 pounds less than the program
weight from Notre Dame. He's lighter. He looks thinner to
(11:36):
the eye. I mean, you stand next to Kenneth Walker.
That is a unique human being. He's short and he's stocky,
and yet in that package, He had incredible bursts, his
10-yard splits, his 40 yards, and what have you. That's
why he's a Super Bowl MVP. He's a unique specimen.
When you look at Jadarian Price, you just kind of say, like, hey,
he kind of looks a little bit like a thick
slot receiver. And so you're– which is a good bit
(12:00):
less than the hits you're going to take when you're
an NFL running back. So you hold your breath. We
understand the economic– terms and situations that led to tonight.
Hopefully they scouted well and this guy can have a
great debut. Now he did force missed tackles on 26.9%
of his touches last year for Notre Dame. That was
(12:22):
number one in the entire draft class. This guy can
make you miss. He's got some acceleration to him. So
it's going to be fun to watch him and see
how he adapts. There's a skill set in him that
But there's certainly enough of these factors that leave you
to be legitimately concerned about where we are at running back.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Hugh, I'm interested to hear your take on the role
of Rashid Shahid and if it's going to be significantly
different than it was last year.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Rashid Shahid is the 32nd highest paid wide receiver in football.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Now, that's an interesting number, right? That's... You should have
one on each team, right?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
So he is paid by definition as a low, low
end wide receiver one. How much creativity do you anticipate
they have with him this year?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Well, you know what his jersey number is, correct? Sorry
to put you on the spot.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
22. 22.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
He wears a halfback number, right? 22, that's his average
yards receiving per game as a Seahawk.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
By the way, Hugh, do you like the fact that
I said that with a little bit of 22? Oh,
I'm terrible at numbers. Because you asked that question. I'm like,
you know, you're the numbers guy. And every now and
then I get it right, but just a 1% chance
I get it wrong.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I'm going to be an idiot if I.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Can't get his number right.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hey, listen, radio pop quizzes are not fun. I get it.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
They're not at all.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You're damn right I know his number. Then all of
a sudden you're like, then the lights, the Klieg lights
are on you. You're like, I don't know his freaking number.
But where's jersey number 22, which let that be a
symbol for his 22 yards per game average from a
year ago. You multiply that out by 17, that's 377
(14:07):
yards for these season guys. That's not enough for $ 17 million.
Not when you let Kenneth Walker out the door for
$ 14 million. Now, he is the most feared punt and
kickoff combined returner in the league. I'll give you that.
And that is certainly not insignificant. That is, in fact, significant.
But I do think that based on what they– that contract,
(14:31):
it has an expectation with it. that you're going to
produce more than 22 yards receiving per game. And the
basis for that is the offseason, the training camp, the
cohesion that should have been built with Sam Darnold, and
I expect we'll see that. But there are still things
that are just innately difficult to for his intuition as
(14:55):
a receiver i'm not going to you know we could
go a whole segment on how jsn is is an
intuitive receiver he's not but he can you know with
that speed he doesn't have to be jsn uh he
won't be of course he'll never be but if he
can just improve a little bit hey hey what's how
do i get quarterback friendly when i come into a
zone i turn my numbers How do I recognize, you know,
(15:16):
do I need to take so many steps when I
make a stop route? Can I get my chin over
my toes, drop my hips a little better? Like technique
parts of being a receiver that I think watching the tape,
he needs to have. Hopefully with this added time with
the Seahawk, it can show with his match with Darnold tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Let me ask you a quick question.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Three years 51 for Shahid, three years 43 for Kenny Walker.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Which one would you have paid out?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, yeah, I just, I think I would have been
reluctant to part with Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I just, yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Is neither an option?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
No, you got to pick one. You got to pick one.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Because you, I just wonder this, and Dick, you made
the point on the morning show this morning that he's
going to get beat to death in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They're going to use him a lot. That would not
have been the case here, though.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He would have been used differently in Seattle than he
would have been used in Kansas City. So I could
see Kenny Walker getting hurt in Kansas City. And all
of us saying, oh, that's the right call by John.
Bull crap, because it's all about what he would have
been doing here in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
But in October, none of us wanted Kenny Walker back.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And then he blew up. I mean, you know, look,
I was talking to a guy.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I won't tell you who it is, but his name
rhymes with Kevin Harlan, who made the point that Kenny
Walker may have just pulled a Joe Flacco and had
a great end of the year and then turned that
into a massive fat contract. with Kansas City, but, Hugh,
I'm kind of 50-50 on this, man. I just hope
that we're not sitting here in November asking ourselves, why
(16:47):
the hell didn't we pick Kenny Walker?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, I mean, here they are, an outside zone team,
and you had Kenneth Walker at 5.7, and you had
Charbonnet at 4.5, over a yard difference per attempt. I mean,
that's like the difference between the middle of the pack
and being at the top, so I always thought that Walker...
Whether he had 15 yards in a game or 115
(17:11):
yards in a game, I thought it was always based
on how everything was blocked, and I just think that
he has an ability to create more than Charbonnet or
anybody else. Now, if Price comes in here and plays
to a high level, certainly, hell, he's a first-rounder. We
could go through the Jameer Gibbs and the Cooks and
(17:35):
Derek Henrys, the second-round draft picks. uh, are, have, have in,
in some ways blown away, even the first round draft pick.
So he being the 32nd pick in the draft, there's
every bit of a, a, a reasonable reason to, to,
to believe that he can be, you know, a top
10 back. Um, but until we see it, I think
it was a gamble. I think it was a gamble
(17:56):
for the Superbowl champions, but, but, uh, Certainly when you
consider the guys making the decision, you have to say
reasonable minds can differ. Of course they're reasonable. But we'll
just see if they look back. But they're not inerrant.
It's not as if they've never made a decision that
they haven't regretted. So let's see. It would have been
a safer pick, a safer decision, I should say, to
(18:20):
stick with K-9. This is more of a gamble. We'll
see how it works starting tonight.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
All right, Hugh, you'll be on postgame with Dick as
soon as the game is over.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Great stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And we promise we're going to be pop quizzing you
all night long, so be ready.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Go Hawks.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
My first question for him is what number does Rasheed
Shaheed wear?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
What number does Torrey Horton wear? Hey, Hugh, what number
did Torrey Horton wear?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
15, right?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Ah, you gave it away.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
All right, we're going to break. We're going to talk
to Neil Kosla. one of the new owners of the Seahawks.
His mom and dad just bought the team. We'll chat
with him next on 93.3 KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (18:59):

Speaker 1 (19:18):
All right, we're back at Jimmy's. We're getting closer, under
an hour away from Seahawks Patriots. Kevin Harlan joins us
at 5 o'clock. He'll be on the call tonight for
Westwood 1 with Kurt Warner. We've got a lot more
to get to. The postgame show as well coming up
tonight after the game with Dick and Hugh. But today
was also a big day for the ownership group, the
Kosla family, Vinod, Niru, and Neil. All announcing today their
(19:43):
intentions with the football team. They had about a 45-minute
press conference Dick over at Lumen Field this afternoon announcing
they're bringing back the white throwback uniforms for 2027 and
a lot more. I had a chance after the press
conference was over to connect with Neil Kosla for a
few minutes. And we started off by talking about just
(20:03):
what the last couple of months have been like for
him and his family.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
It's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I mean... The process was incredibly fast, I think my
dad talked about that. I don't think we really knew,
NFL assets are incredibly, anything NFL, it could be a shirt,
it doesn't matter what it is, but if it has
the NFL on it, there's a lot of people who
want it. And so I don't think we really knew
(20:29):
or believed this was going to happen until late June,
early July. And so from then to be where we
are today, it's just been like a whirlwind. I think
I mentioned to somebody that we haven't had a ton
of contact in the process.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
With management.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
It's started to ramp up over the last couple weeks,
so even just getting a little bit more of that
and having the chance to talk to John and Mike
and Chuck and the rest of the executive team, We're
drinking out.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Of the fire hose right now.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
That's what it's been like. But it's special.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
I think, I was just saying to the group of
reporters over there, it's brought out a different side of
my dad.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
In what way?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
He's not the effusive, smiley guy. He's a hard-nosed immigrant.
It's not his nature to be this happy and proud
of what he's accomplished, but I think this was really
one of those moments where he looks at, I came
to this country with nothing, and we're able to be
a part of this, it's just special. And my sisters
(21:43):
are here, and my whole family, my sister came from Amsterdam,
just to make the game, and it's special for us.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
It's really an honor and it's a privilege.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, well, Neil Koestler with us.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
The story is phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
We'll learn more about that, obviously, as the years go by,
but I think the number one question that fans want
to know.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
How involved will you guys be?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Will you let John be John and Mike be Mike?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Will you be offering opinions on free agents and draft
choices and trade for this guy and go cut that guy?
How involved will this ownership in your family be in
day-to-day decisions for this football team?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I think that You know, my dad talked about it
in the press conference. I think our philosophy is just
ask good questions, be there, be.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
A part of the dialogue. But those guys have to
make the decisions.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I mean, we don't know how to scout a safety or,
you know, an offensive lineman. And so, you know, we're
there as a resource to them.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
We are very, very competitive. We want to win. The
best way to win is to let John.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
put the team together and let mike get them ready
to play on sundays like those two guys have proven
they know what they can do i i don't you
know we we'd be really dumb if we thought we
had something to to really change you know with that
that this this formula works and we we want to
win really badly yeah yeah well.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You'll fit right in that neil i think there's a
Anytime something new happens, there's always a fear of the unknown, right?
A lot of us did not know who you were,
who your mom and dad were until this transaction. So
when something new happens, people always wonder, will they want
a new stadium? Will they move the team down the road?
There is a little bit of scarring from the Sonics
from 2008, obviously, address those fans out there that just wonder.
(23:32):
Will they want a new stadium? Will they be asking
the community for money? Will they eventually, God forbid, want
to move this team out of Seattle?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah, I mean, I think we've been very direct about
all those things.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Like, we're here.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
We've invested in this team as a part of the
Seattle community. That's a big part of our decision. We
talked about this throughout the process a lot. It's like,
you're investing in a community... which community.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Do you want to be a part of?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
And I'm not going to name names, but we wouldn't
have done this in every community. And a big part
of it is this is close to where we live,
and so it allows us to set up a second
kind of home base here in Seattle and be members
of this community. I'm 33, so hopefully I'll be here
(24:26):
50 years from now. And, you know, everything else as
far as, you know, I was just talking to you
about how awesome this stadium is and this fan base.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
And this crowd. You know, Lumen is incredible.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
We are coming in with the mindset of, like, what
does management want to do and how do we, you know,
how do we help them go do that?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
We're not looking at the stadium and saying, we need.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
To go do this or that, like, Obviously, it's just.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
An incredible building, and so.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
We're excited to just be a part of that going forward.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Neil, I think you said it right there, and it's
probably an obvious question because you mentioned you're 33. You're
the youngest of the three that we saw on the
table there, obviously. There's an assumption that some people have made,
and I'm one of them, I guess, that this will
eventually kind of be your thing, that this will be
your show. Is that the way that the family and
you are kind of approaching this?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
I think you heard us talk about our philosophy, which is, like,
we do things as a family.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
We're very close.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
So.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
The idea that it's ever going to just be one
of us, I think, is false. I'm very close to
my sister. My dad talked about we talk every day.
I talk to all my sisters pretty much every day, too,
and my mom. My mom and I talk the most.
And so this will be a family thing for us
for now and for a long time.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
My nephew's here, and he's three months old. And so
he'll be a part of it, too.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, the last time you were here to wrap it
up was a playoff game, right, in this stadium?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Niners got destroyed.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Your then-beloved Niners.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Will there be any problems flipping the switch and rooting
for the Hawks against them the next.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Time they play?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
We were financial investors.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Not emotional investors.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
We're all in.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
On the Hawks, and we're going to be riding and
dying with this team.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I love it. Hey, great to meet you. Welcome to Seattle.
We'll talk to you on the road.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Thank you, Safdie.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
All right, Neil Kosla from the Kosla family, who obviously
just bought the Seahawks, in case you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Somebody driving around going, who the hell is that guy?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
He is going to be one of the new owners
of your Seattle Seahawks, and I think down the road
will be pretty much the face of this entire thing.
He talked about being in the stands last year for
the Niner game. You see the photo, by the way, Dick? Yeah,
of him as dad. He looks pretty ticked off. Yeah,
Nehru was there as well. All three of them were there.
for that game. You see that right there. His dad
(27:03):
eats some pizza. Well, he's just hanging out in the
stands like a regular schmuck.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Is that him right there?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No, that's Vinod and to his left is.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
He looks really upset that he's getting his ass kicked
by the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But you kind of like that, right? That's how emotionally
invested he is. in this thing and that first game
with the Niners is going to be a little weird
I'm sure for him and his family but look like
I said I like what I heard from these guys
so far right now there really is not a lot
to do we'll see what happens and we'll judge them
obviously by the moves that they make down the road
(27:35):
but it should not take away anything I think from
tonight's game.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I have a zero percent fear that this team is moving.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Zero. Now, I had a 0% fear before the sale,
but if there's a negative from basically what I've heard,
if there's a negative percent chance, they are going to
be here. They're going to be owners of these teams forever.
They mentioned they've owned their house for like 40 years.
I mean, they don't move around. I think that was
a question you had to ask. And then the 49er
(28:07):
question is another question you had to ask. And I've
got zero worries that a 49er fan bought the Seattle Seahawks.
If you were a Seahawks fan and you placed a
$ 9. 6 billion wager on the 49ers, You root for the 49ers.
I mean, he is massively invested in this football team.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well, let's do this. We're going to break.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We'll make some predictions. Where will this thing go? Who's
playing for the championship? Who's going to win the AFC,
the NFC? What does this thing look like? And then
Kevin Harlan at five.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
All right, we're back on a busy, busy Wednesday night.
Seahawks and Patriots coming up tonight. We got the postgame
show with Dick and Hugh Millen. 12th man postgame show
from Jimmy's on first. All you drunk bastards, feel free
to stop by Jimmy's and harass Dick Fane.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Including us.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He would love to see you. I'm not going to
be here. I'll be on the way home with her driving,
by the way. So anyway, looking forward to that. Kevin
Harlan is going to join us at 5 o'clock tonight.
from obviously Westwood One, the NFL on CBS. He is
back with us again, courtesy of the Emerald Queen Casino,
every Wednesday at 5, starting next segment. Alright, what will
(29:37):
this thing look like? We made predictions on the morning
show today. And I've already forgotten what I said. I
think I said 12-5 on the morning show. Does that sound.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Familiar, by the way?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I think that sounds right.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think both of us may have said 12-5.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I think I've made about 14 different predictions on about
14 different shows on this radio station. So why not
make it 15? What the hell? How does this thing end?
Where do the Seahawks go? What does the Final Four
look like? AFC, NFC, Super Bowl, the whole thing. So
let's go around the room. And why don't we start
off with a Seahawks record. Do you want to do
that first? Seahawks record. Jackson Feltz, you jump in. Roll
(30:14):
tape on this, and we can go back and laugh
at ourselves when we're all way off at the end
of the year.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
I'm going to say 11-6. I think it's a step
back from last year. I think the team trips up
in a lot of the games that they should and
probably one that we aren't expecting as usual.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
And, yeah, I'll go 11-6. All right, Dick.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, I'm between 12 and 13. I'll be optimistic and
go 13 and 4. I do not think they're going
14 and 3 this year. But 13 and 4 should
be enough to at least get a share of the
division because I don't feel like the Rams are going
to win 14 games either. So I see the Rams
and the Hawks. Both at 13-4, and we've got a
(30:55):
tie in the NFC West.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I will go 12-5 with the Seahawks, and I'll just
repeat what I said today on the morning show. If
you could give me odds, and legitimate odds, like decent odds,
on the Seahawks losing as many games last year. but
doing it in the first eight games of the season,
meaning New England, Arizona, Washington, the Chargers, the Niners, Denver,
(31:17):
Kansas City, Chicago. That is a mother effort of eight
games to start the year.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Now, who knows?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That schedule may look totally different in a couple of
weeks from now. But would it stun the hell out
of you if the Seahawks are 5-3 after eight games
with that schedule they've got?
Speaker 6 (31:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Wouldn't shock me at all.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So they might match last year's loss total in the first.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Eight games of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But I got them going 12-5 and losing the NFC
West to a 13-4 Rams team. So NFC championship game. Dick,
who plays in that game?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well, unfortunately it's not the Hawks because I don't think
they'll get the tiebreaker on the Rams. I do think
the Hawks are the second best team in the NFC,
but that's not the way the playoffs work. You've got
to be a wild card team, and so the Rams
and the Seahawks will have to face each other in
the second round instead of in the NFC championship game.
So I've got the Rams going to the Super Bowl
in the NFC and the Hawks losing to the Rams
(32:09):
in the second round of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
So who plays in the NFC championship game?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
NFC championship game is going to be, I have it
right here.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You actually wrote it down?
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Oh, I did.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I did write it down.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
He takes it seriously, Jackson. We're not goofing around.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
I've got the Rams over the Bears in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Rams-Bears, all right.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
In a rematch of last year's divisional playoff game, which
was phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Okay, Jackson, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Dick, you're half right on what you're saying. The Seahawks are, indeed,
the second-best team in the NFC, but defense travels, and
I think that they end up as the second wild
card as opposed to the first wild card, and the
way that that structures out, I think that allows them
to play the Rams in the NFC Championship in that game.
(32:53):
I'm going to have the Rams beating the Seahawks in
the NFC Championship because I think they are the clear
and away better team. They have sold out, and I
think they're going to go for it and get it.
But I think the Seahawks make the NFC title game.
They're better than Chicago. They're better than Detroit. They're better
than the rest.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
All right. I'm going to throw you guys both a curveball.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think the Seahawks are going to fall short of
the NFC Championship this year. I think the Rams will
play in the NFC Championship game. But I think they're
going to get beat by the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
We're playing this.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
We're absolutely playing this.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Dallas Cowboys will come out of nowhere, and they will
play in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Dak Prescott. I'm going to give you one more prediction.
It's going to win the MVP.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Cowboys are going 13-4. Dak Prescott last year was number
five in the National Football League in QBR. He was
number three in yards last season. He threw for 30 touchdowns.
I think if they get any semblance of a defense,
they're going to win a lot of games. Dak Prescott
is going to beat the Rams and the Cowboys and
Rams in the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
All right, AFC Championship game.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Dick.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
AFC Championship game. Bills and Texans. It's going to be
a rematch of the game that's going to be played
this Sunday.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
And the Buffalo Bills will beat the Houston Texans. No,
what do I have? Do I have the Bills or
do I have the Texans? No, I have the Texans.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
You have the Texans, right?
Speaker 5 (34:11):
I have the Texans beating the Bills in the AFC
Championship game.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And by virtue of their win over the Bills, which
was my Factor Fiction pick this week, by virtue of
their win over the Bills, they will have the tiebreaker
and therefore get the home game over the Bills in that.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
AFC Championship game. Okay, all right. Bills and Texans with
the Texans winning.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Jackson.
Speaker 9 (34:29):
I think the Bills are in the AFC Championship game
hosting it. They think it's their year against the Chargers.
And once again, in their new stadium, once again, Josh
Allen falls short. I think it's an all-LA Super Bowl
Rams-Chargers at SoFi.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Rams-Chargers with no Rams or Chargers fans.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I'm going to give you another curveball. I think in
the AFC Championship... I like the Houston Texans against the
Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I think Joe Burrow is going to have a healthy
bounce-back year, and I think the Bengals are going to
beat him. We're looking at Cincinnati and Dallas in Super
Bowl 61.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
You know, it's funny because I think Dallas and Cincinnati
are the mirror images of each other in their other division.
It's the quarterback throwing for 4,500, 5,000 yards, great wide receivers,
two on each team.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Can they get semblance of defense?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
And if they do, they can make the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Both teams can.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And I will just keep it going. The Dallas Cowboys
win the whole thing. Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Dallas Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl for
the first time in 32 years.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
But, guys, I do.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You like that? Suck on that, boys.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Where's the Jerry Jones drop?
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Yes, how about them Cowboys?
Speaker 4 (35:45):
I do love the fact that all three of us
picked the Rams to be in the NFC Championship game, though,
because that's the kiss of death.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Right.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
That is phenomenal. And part of the reason that I'm
picking the Rams to do it. I'm going the Rams
to win it all.
Speaker 9 (35:56):
And I'm picking the Rams to beat the Chargers by
a lot in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
So they got no shot is what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (36:01):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, we're going to break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Kevin Harlan is going to join us next right here
on 93.3 KJRFM.
All right, joining us right now on the radio show,
no better way to get this thing going, no better
preview we want more than our friend Hugh Millen to
break this thing down with the Seahawks and Patriots today
coming up at 520.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hughie, how are you, man?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's here. Yeah, it's here.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's going to be electric.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, there's a lot to talk about.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Why don't we first of all start off, before we
talk football, with your thoughts on what happened off the
field today. The Coastal family, press conference at Lumen Field. Neera, Vinod,
and Neil, the three of them. I'm sure you watched it.
I'm sure you saw some clips from the press conference.
What'd you make of what you heard and saw?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well, I think they said mostly the right things, seem
very likable. Certainly they are high achievers and then some,
all three of them in their own right. I would
have asked, how do you characterize your sense of Paul
Allen and Jody Allen's involvement with the team? And how
will you be different, maybe more, maybe less, what have you?
(01:01):
That would be a question that I'd want to know.
I'm not sure he would have given a candid answer,
but I thought they were very engaging. And, you know,
I particularly made note of Neil because he's liable to
be the guy that is the long term steward of
this franchise. And there seemed to be a confidence in him.
I mean, he made me laugh out loud when when
(01:23):
the nod, I hope I said his name right. said
that we're not fancy people. And his son interrupts him
and says, you just ordered a sport coat custom, you know,
from Italy. What are we talking about here? Like the
ability to bust his dad's chops a little bit right
there on the fly. So, look, does that mean that
he's going to be a good owner? How the hell
(01:45):
do I know? I know this. You don't evaluate a
pilot on how he steers a plane in, you know,
sunny skies. you evaluate when the wind shear hits or
a flock of seagulls hit your engine. And until that happens,
we just don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Hugh, in the last segment, we played a cut from
Colin Coward, who is noted Seahawk believer this year, but
he said, Maybe his number one concern is the fact
that Ryan Fleury has never called a play in an
NFL regular season game, and he's 47 years of age.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I thought that last part was interesting. Is that a.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Concern that he got almost to a half a century
and never got hired by any team to call a play?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Potentially. I mean, basically all you can do is run
correlation numbers. Who are the most elite, considered the most
elite play callers, and what's the propensity that they had
really shined? In their 30s, well, it turns out that's
actually pretty strong. I mean, you look at Sean McVay,
Kyle Shanahan. We can go through this. Ben Johnson. Yeah,
(02:50):
Ben Johnson, Mike McDonald, even Jesse Minter. I think that
absolutely you'd say most of them, Collins got a point.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now, not all.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And so you just, you, for me, my faith in
Brian Flory is because Mike McDonald has faith in Brian Flory.
They had certainly extensive interviews and, and I think that
Mike McDonald's vision of how pro football should look is
so complete that he also understands how it's supposed to
(03:28):
look on offense. And of course he was the guy that, that,
that bounced grub after one year and had a different vision. So,
so that that's, the basis for my, you know, I
don't want to say I'm calm about it, but that
at least has me somewhat optimistic. But until we see
how he does it, how he handles it, and really
(03:50):
the number one thing I'm looking for today, you know,
the operation, obviously. You know, are you having false starts
and getting late, getting out of the huddle and delay
of games or anything? That would be horrible. But the
next thing is, how do you handle blitz? And in
the Super Bowl... The Patriots had a hell of a
blitz package. Sam Darnold and under the direction of Clint Kubiak,
(04:11):
they had their parameters how they were going to handle it.
They handled it pretty damn well. Now, Darnold technically had
more pressures against him than the Seahawks defense posed against
Drake May. And yet, Darnold just handled it so much better.
A good part of that's coaching. We'll see how that
goes tonight. But that's really what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
All right, well, I tell you what you're not going
to see is Nicky Manwari. He has been ruled out
along with Ty Okada. And I remember when Nicky Manwari
first got hurt, there were some folks around saying, ah,
no big deal, whatever, he'll be fine, blah, blah, blah,
not concerned. You were the one that I remember was
concerned the most from the start. And now here we are.
(04:52):
So all the people out there that were trying to
poo-poo this as a nothing burger, the guy's not going
to play. And then you wonder, is he going to
play next week? And then when he does come back, Hugh,
how problematic is that ankle going to be as the
season goes on? So talk about Eamon Worry and how
significant this is for him that he's not playing tonight.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It's very concerning to me. It was concerning then when
he was on the PUP because then you're just saying, wait,
what in the hell has happened here? We got a
sprained ankle in a few days before the Super Bowl
that allowed him to play, and then there's two words.
My concern is based on two words in our language, okay?
One is lingering. Do we like the word lingering when.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
We talk about? No, we do not.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Yeah, and then it's really, really evil language. sibling like
like you know sid dick you know in a toy
story you got kids you know you remember sid you
know it was you know you know defacing all the
toys yeah well the the sid of lingering is chronic
(05:56):
and i i do not want to have lingering uh
we're already seeing the signs of lingering and then chronic
ends up in a whole nother realm and you know
i just was teammates with uh i'm going to Mention
one that most people know if you're a football fan,
Shannon Sharp. He had a chronic ankle, and he couldn't practice.
(06:17):
He would limp in practice. He was constantly in the
training room, icing and getting shots before games, injections. And
this beautiful athlete, this incredible physique and specimen and a
Hall of Fame player, right? Um, but he just had
this ankle and, and I could list others. I'm not
going to go through my career and my teammates, but,
but yeah, it's, um, it's concerning. And here we are.
(06:39):
We had somebody on our way, airwaves come on and
say that his concern lever was in the negatives as
in zero is neutral. Negatives would be like the inverse of,
of being concerned. And I still have a bruise on
my forehead from my own palm when I heard that.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I'm like, what?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
We have a negative concern? We're going to rate our
concern level to this to be a negative? So here
we are. I don't want to say it's heartbreaking. That
would be overboard. But it's a real disappointment because... because
Eamon Warrie in year two is just primed to have
(07:17):
this first-team NFL all-pro type of season under the direction
of Mike McDonald. He's so versatile.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
He's one of one.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
And Seattle's going to try to replace him, but there's
nobody on that roster that can replace him. You're going
to have to take several men to replace him.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So, Hugh, Drake May clearly in February did not have
the ability or the weapons to exploit the Hawks' healthy secondary.
Does Drake May in September have the ability and the
weapons to exploit a banged up secondary?
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
You know, here's the thing about Drake May. Look, I
understand based on how he played in the playoffs, you know,
that we're just kind of Drake May. And I've heard
a lot of that chatter. You know, the Patriots were
9-0 on the road last year. They won playoffs on
the road. He, Drake May, he was number one in
the following stats. I won't give the numbers. I'll just
(08:10):
tell you that he was number one in the NFL
in passer rating, adjusted net yards per attempt, explosive play rate, EPA,
expected point added per dropback, which is kind of the
new darling statistic for Sabre matricians. He then had a
big-time fall-off, won't cite the numbers. You know, expected completion percentage.
(08:31):
He was number one in the NFL. So this guy
was deserving of missing out on that MVP. Now he
gets A.J.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Brown.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Romeo Dobbs is really just kind of your garden variety
number two, but that's an upgrade given how weak the
Patriots were. And then A.J. Brown, if there's one man
on planet Earth who has more in common in all
attributes with D.K. Metcalfe, It's A.J. Brown, and he can
be a load. We know that. I mean, he's a
(09:00):
guy that was the AP Offensive Player of the Year
a few years ago at 1,500 yards receiving. So he's
going to be a problem, and I think it's one
of the reasons why, with Reek Woolen and all of
his length at 6'4, he's now a Philadelphia Eagle. All
of the hand-wringing that you saw from John Schneider in
terms of the– cornerback acquisitions and flirtations and what have
(09:28):
you this August says to me they don't feel quite right,
and A.J. Brown has a chance. He's got the ability
to exploit that tonight. Mike McDonald's going to have to
watch the coverages and roll to A.J. Brown if he
needs to and be mindful because now the Patriots had
a playmaker they didn't have in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Well, Hugh Millen's with us.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Jadarian Price is going to play in his first football
game since November 29th. of last year, because you remember
the Fighting Irish did not get into the CFP, and
Marcus Freeman said, we're not doing a bowl game, and
he pulled the plug.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Remember that?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
So the last game, Jadarian Price played, and he had
six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown against Stanford,
a 49-20 win. We did not see him play in
the preseason. So I'm wondering if there's going to be
a little bit of potential rust on Jadarian Price tonight,
maybe early in this game. Do you worry about him
being sloppy, maybe putting the ball on the ground because
(10:21):
of that potentially? How much do you expect Brian Fleury
to lean on Jadarian Price tonight in the opener?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Well, I think he's going to need to. And this
is kind of one of those, you know, this is
the fallout from the type of economic structure we have
in the NFL. I mean, this would be an example
where Scott Boris would come on and say, hey, why
should the Seahawks have to– to let a Super Bowl
MVP go. Now, you could say that this drives all
(10:52):
of the competitiveness and what have you. So here you
are having to rely on a rookie who had four fumbles. Dave,
you mentioned it. There is number three in the draft class.
So that's a concern. There's a concern about his durability,
where he had under 10 touches per game last year.
He never had a season of 125 carries in a year.
(11:15):
No first-round draft pick running back ever could make that claim.
So he just hasn't carried the workload. I mentioned to
you eyeballing him and then his listed weights, which are
at the combine, exactly 10 pounds less than the program
weight from Notre Dame. He's lighter. He looks thinner to
(11:36):
the eye. I mean, you stand next to Kenneth Walker.
That is a unique human being. He's short and he's stocky,
and yet in that package, He had incredible bursts, his
10-yard splits, his 40 yards, and what have you. That's
why he's a Super Bowl MVP. He's a unique specimen.
When you look at Jadarian Price, you just kind of say, like, hey,
he kind of looks a little bit like a thick
slot receiver. And so you're– which is a good bit
(12:00):
less than the hits you're going to take when you're
an NFL running back. So you hold your breath. We
understand the economic– terms and situations that led to tonight.
Hopefully they scouted well and this guy can have a
great debut. Now he did force missed tackles on 26.9%
of his touches last year for Notre Dame. That was
(12:22):
number one in the entire draft class. This guy can
make you miss. He's got some acceleration to him. So
it's going to be fun to watch him and see
how he adapts. There's a skill set in him that
But there's certainly enough of these factors that leave you
to be legitimately concerned about where we are at running back.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Hugh, I'm interested to hear your take on the role
of Rashid Shahid and if it's going to be significantly
different than it was last year.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Rashid Shahid is the 32nd highest paid wide receiver in football.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Now, that's an interesting number, right? That's... You should have
one on each team, right?
Speaker 4 (13:01):
So he is paid by definition as a low, low
end wide receiver one. How much creativity do you anticipate
they have with him this year?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Well, you know what his jersey number is, correct? Sorry
to put you on the spot.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
22. 22.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
He wears a halfback number, right? 22, that's his average
yards receiving per game as a Seahawk.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
By the way, Hugh, do you like the fact that
I said that with a little bit of 22? Oh,
I'm terrible at numbers. Because you asked that question. I'm like,
you know, you're the numbers guy. And every now and
then I get it right, but just a 1% chance
I get it wrong.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I'm going to be an idiot if I.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Can't get his number right.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hey, listen, radio pop quizzes are not fun. I get it.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
They're not at all.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You're damn right I know his number. Then all of
a sudden you're like, then the lights, the Klieg lights
are on you. You're like, I don't know his freaking number.
But where's jersey number 22, which let that be a
symbol for his 22 yards per game average from a
year ago. You multiply that out by 17, that's 377
(14:07):
yards for these season guys. That's not enough for $ 17 million.
Not when you let Kenneth Walker out the door for
$ 14 million. Now, he is the most feared punt and
kickoff combined returner in the league. I'll give you that.
And that is certainly not insignificant. That is, in fact, significant.
But I do think that based on what they– that contract,
(14:31):
it has an expectation with it. that you're going to
produce more than 22 yards receiving per game. And the
basis for that is the offseason, the training camp, the
cohesion that should have been built with Sam Darnold, and
I expect we'll see that. But there are still things
that are just innately difficult to for his intuition as
(14:55):
a receiver i'm not going to you know we could
go a whole segment on how jsn is is an
intuitive receiver he's not but he can you know with
that speed he doesn't have to be jsn uh he
won't be of course he'll never be but if he
can just improve a little bit hey hey what's how
do i get quarterback friendly when i come into a
zone i turn my numbers How do I recognize, you know,
(15:16):
do I need to take so many steps when I
make a stop route? Can I get my chin over
my toes, drop my hips a little better? Like technique
parts of being a receiver that I think watching the tape,
he needs to have. Hopefully with this added time with
the Seahawk, it can show with his match with Darnold tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Let me ask you a quick question.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Three years 51 for Shahid, three years 43 for Kenny Walker.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Which one would you have paid out?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, yeah, I just, I think I would have been
reluctant to part with Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I just, yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Is neither an option?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
No, you got to pick one. You got to pick one.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Because you, I just wonder this, and Dick, you made
the point on the morning show this morning that he's
going to get beat to death in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They're going to use him a lot. That would not
have been the case here, though.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
He would have been used differently in Seattle than he
would have been used in Kansas City. So I could
see Kenny Walker getting hurt in Kansas City. And all
of us saying, oh, that's the right call by John.
Bull crap, because it's all about what he would have
been doing here in Seattle.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
But in October, none of us wanted Kenny Walker back.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And then he blew up. I mean, you know, look,
I was talking to a guy.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I won't tell you who it is, but his name
rhymes with Kevin Harlan, who made the point that Kenny
Walker may have just pulled a Joe Flacco and had
a great end of the year and then turned that
into a massive fat contract. with Kansas City, but, Hugh,
I'm kind of 50-50 on this, man. I just hope
that we're not sitting here in November asking ourselves, why
(16:47):
the hell didn't we pick Kenny Walker?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, I mean, here they are, an outside zone team,
and you had Kenneth Walker at 5.7, and you had
Charbonnet at 4.5, over a yard difference per attempt. I mean,
that's like the difference between the middle of the pack
and being at the top, so I always thought that Walker...
Whether he had 15 yards in a game or 115
(17:11):
yards in a game, I thought it was always based
on how everything was blocked, and I just think that
he has an ability to create more than Charbonnet or
anybody else. Now, if Price comes in here and plays
to a high level, certainly, hell, he's a first-rounder. We
could go through the Jameer Gibbs and the Cooks and
(17:35):
Derek Henrys, the second-round draft picks. uh, are, have, have in,
in some ways blown away, even the first round draft pick.
So he being the 32nd pick in the draft, there's
every bit of a, a, a reasonable reason to, to,
to believe that he can be, you know, a top
10 back. Um, but until we see it, I think
it was a gamble. I think it was a gamble
(17:56):
for the Superbowl champions, but, but, uh, Certainly when you
consider the guys making the decision, you have to say
reasonable minds can differ. Of course they're reasonable. But we'll
just see if they look back. But they're not inerrant.
It's not as if they've never made a decision that
they haven't regretted. So let's see. It would have been
a safer pick, a safer decision, I should say, to
(18:20):
stick with K-9. This is more of a gamble. We'll
see how it works starting tonight.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
All right, Hugh, you'll be on postgame with Dick as
soon as the game is over.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Great stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
And we promise we're going to be pop quizzing you
all night long, so be ready.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (18:35):
Go Hawks.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
My first question for him is what number does Rasheed
Shaheed wear?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
What number does Torrey Horton wear? Hey, Hugh, what number
did Torrey Horton wear?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
15, right?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Ah, you gave it away.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
All right, we're going to break. We're going to talk
to Neil Kosla. one of the new owners of the Seahawks.
His mom and dad just bought the team. We'll chat
with him next on 93.3 KJRFM.
Speaker 7 (18:59):

Speaker 1 (19:18):
All right, we're back at Jimmy's. We're getting closer, under
an hour away from Seahawks Patriots. Kevin Harlan joins us
at 5 o'clock. He'll be on the call tonight for
Westwood 1 with Kurt Warner. We've got a lot more
to get to. The postgame show as well coming up
tonight after the game with Dick and Hugh. But today
was also a big day for the ownership group, the
Kosla family, Vinod, Niru, and Neil. All announcing today their
(19:43):
intentions with the football team. They had about a 45-minute
press conference Dick over at Lumen Field this afternoon announcing
they're bringing back the white throwback uniforms for 2027 and
a lot more. I had a chance after the press
conference was over to connect with Neil Kosla for a
few minutes. And we started off by talking about just
(20:03):
what the last couple of months have been like for
him and his family.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
It's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
I mean... The process was incredibly fast, I think my
dad talked about that. I don't think we really knew,
NFL assets are incredibly, anything NFL, it could be a shirt,
it doesn't matter what it is, but if it has
the NFL on it, there's a lot of people who
want it. And so I don't think we really knew
(20:29):
or believed this was going to happen until late June,
early July. And so from then to be where we
are today, it's just been like a whirlwind. I think
I mentioned to somebody that we haven't had a ton
of contact in the process.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
With management.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
It's started to ramp up over the last couple weeks,
so even just getting a little bit more of that
and having the chance to talk to John and Mike
and Chuck and the rest of the executive team, We're
drinking out.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Of the fire hose right now.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
That's what it's been like. But it's special.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
I think, I was just saying to the group of
reporters over there, it's brought out a different side of
my dad.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
In what way?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
He's not the effusive, smiley guy. He's a hard-nosed immigrant.
It's not his nature to be this happy and proud
of what he's accomplished, but I think this was really
one of those moments where he looks at, I came
to this country with nothing, and we're able to be
a part of this, it's just special. And my sisters
(21:43):
are here, and my whole family, my sister came from Amsterdam,
just to make the game, and it's special for us.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
It's really an honor and it's a privilege.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, well, Neil Koestler with us.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
The story is phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
We'll learn more about that, obviously, as the years go by,
but I think the number one question that fans want
to know.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
How involved will you guys be?
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Will you let John be John and Mike be Mike?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Will you be offering opinions on free agents and draft
choices and trade for this guy and go cut that guy?
How involved will this ownership in your family be in
day-to-day decisions for this football team?
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I think that You know, my dad talked about it
in the press conference. I think our philosophy is just
ask good questions, be there, be.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
A part of the dialogue. But those guys have to
make the decisions.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I mean, we don't know how to scout a safety or,
you know, an offensive lineman. And so, you know, we're
there as a resource to them.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
We are very, very competitive. We want to win. The
best way to win is to let John.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
put the team together and let mike get them ready
to play on sundays like those two guys have proven
they know what they can do i i don't you
know we we'd be really dumb if we thought we
had something to to really change you know with that
that this this formula works and we we want to
win really badly yeah yeah well.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
You'll fit right in that neil i think there's a
Anytime something new happens, there's always a fear of the unknown, right?
A lot of us did not know who you were,
who your mom and dad were until this transaction. So
when something new happens, people always wonder, will they want
a new stadium? Will they move the team down the road?
There is a little bit of scarring from the Sonics
from 2008, obviously, address those fans out there that just wonder.
(23:32):
Will they want a new stadium? Will they be asking
the community for money? Will they eventually, God forbid, want
to move this team out of Seattle?
Speaker 6 (23:39):
Yeah, I mean, I think we've been very direct about
all those things.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Like, we're here.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
We've invested in this team as a part of the
Seattle community. That's a big part of our decision. We
talked about this throughout the process a lot. It's like,
you're investing in a community... which community.
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Do you want to be a part of?
Speaker 6 (24:02):
And I'm not going to name names, but we wouldn't
have done this in every community. And a big part
of it is this is close to where we live,
and so it allows us to set up a second
kind of home base here in Seattle and be members
of this community. I'm 33, so hopefully I'll be here
(24:26):
50 years from now. And, you know, everything else as
far as, you know, I was just talking to you
about how awesome this stadium is and this fan base.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
And this crowd. You know, Lumen is incredible.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
We are coming in with the mindset of, like, what
does management want to do and how do we, you know,
how do we help them go do that?
Speaker 8 (24:52):
We're not looking at the stadium and saying, we need.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
To go do this or that, like, Obviously, it's just.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
An incredible building, and so.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
We're excited to just be a part of that going forward.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Neil, I think you said it right there, and it's
probably an obvious question because you mentioned you're 33. You're
the youngest of the three that we saw on the
table there, obviously. There's an assumption that some people have made,
and I'm one of them, I guess, that this will
eventually kind of be your thing, that this will be
your show. Is that the way that the family and
you are kind of approaching this?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
I think you heard us talk about our philosophy, which is, like,
we do things as a family.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
We're very close.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
So.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
The idea that it's ever going to just be one
of us, I think, is false. I'm very close to
my sister. My dad talked about we talk every day.
I talk to all my sisters pretty much every day, too,
and my mom. My mom and I talk the most.
And so this will be a family thing for us
for now and for a long time.
Speaker 8 (25:57):
My nephew's here, and he's three months old. And so
he'll be a part of it, too.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Well, the last time you were here to wrap it
up was a playoff game, right, in this stadium?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Niners got destroyed.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Your then-beloved Niners.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Will there be any problems flipping the switch and rooting
for the Hawks against them the next.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Time they play?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
We were financial investors.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Not emotional investors.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
We're all in.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
On the Hawks, and we're going to be riding and
dying with this team.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I love it. Hey, great to meet you. Welcome to Seattle.
We'll talk to you on the road.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Thank you, Safdie.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
All right, Neil Kosla from the Kosla family, who obviously
just bought the Seahawks, in case you didn't know.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Somebody driving around going, who the hell is that guy?
Speaker 1 (26:42):
He is going to be one of the new owners
of your Seattle Seahawks, and I think down the road
will be pretty much the face of this entire thing.
He talked about being in the stands last year for
the Niner game. You see the photo, by the way, Dick? Yeah,
of him as dad. He looks pretty ticked off. Yeah,
Nehru was there as well. All three of them were there.
for that game. You see that right there. His dad
(27:03):
eats some pizza. Well, he's just hanging out in the
stands like a regular schmuck.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Is that him right there?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No, that's Vinod and to his left is.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
He looks really upset that he's getting his ass kicked
by the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But you kind of like that, right? That's how emotionally
invested he is. in this thing and that first game
with the Niners is going to be a little weird
I'm sure for him and his family but look like
I said I like what I heard from these guys
so far right now there really is not a lot
to do we'll see what happens and we'll judge them
obviously by the moves that they make down the road
(27:35):
but it should not take away anything I think from
tonight's game.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I have a zero percent fear that this team is moving.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Zero. Now, I had a 0% fear before the sale,
but if there's a negative from basically what I've heard,
if there's a negative percent chance, they are going to
be here. They're going to be owners of these teams forever.
They mentioned they've owned their house for like 40 years.
I mean, they don't move around. I think that was
a question you had to ask. And then the 49er
(28:07):
question is another question you had to ask. And I've
got zero worries that a 49er fan bought the Seattle Seahawks.
If you were a Seahawks fan and you placed a
$ 9. 6 billion wager on the 49ers, You root for the 49ers.
I mean, he is massively invested in this football team.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well, let's do this. We're going to break.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
We'll make some predictions. Where will this thing go? Who's
playing for the championship? Who's going to win the AFC,
the NFC? What does this thing look like? And then
Kevin Harlan at five.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Now back to Softie and Dick, brought to you by
Emerald Queen Casino, bringing you the best in live music, entertainment, dining,
and gaming. Whether it's your favorite games, food, concerts, MMA,
or professional boxing, it's all at Emerald Queen Casino, always entertaining.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
All right, we're back on a busy, busy Wednesday night.
Seahawks and Patriots coming up tonight. We got the postgame
show with Dick and Hugh Millen. 12th man postgame show
from Jimmy's on first. All you drunk bastards, feel free
to stop by Jimmy's and harass Dick Fane.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Including us.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
He would love to see you. I'm not going to
be here. I'll be on the way home with her driving,
by the way. So anyway, looking forward to that. Kevin
Harlan is going to join us at 5 o'clock tonight.
from obviously Westwood One, the NFL on CBS. He is
back with us again, courtesy of the Emerald Queen Casino,
every Wednesday at 5, starting next segment. Alright, what will
(29:37):
this thing look like? We made predictions on the morning
show today. And I've already forgotten what I said. I
think I said 12-5 on the morning show. Does that sound.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Familiar, by the way?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I think that sounds right.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think both of us may have said 12-5.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I think I've made about 14 different predictions on about
14 different shows on this radio station. So why not
make it 15? What the hell? How does this thing end?
Where do the Seahawks go? What does the Final Four
look like? AFC, NFC, Super Bowl, the whole thing. So
let's go around the room. And why don't we start
off with a Seahawks record. Do you want to do
that first? Seahawks record. Jackson Feltz, you jump in. Roll
(30:14):
tape on this, and we can go back and laugh
at ourselves when we're all way off at the end
of the year.
Speaker 9 (30:19):
I'm going to say 11-6. I think it's a step
back from last year. I think the team trips up
in a lot of the games that they should and
probably one that we aren't expecting as usual.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
And, yeah, I'll go 11-6. All right, Dick.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, I'm between 12 and 13. I'll be optimistic and
go 13 and 4. I do not think they're going
14 and 3 this year. But 13 and 4 should
be enough to at least get a share of the
division because I don't feel like the Rams are going
to win 14 games either. So I see the Rams
and the Hawks. Both at 13-4, and we've got a
(30:55):
tie in the NFC West.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I will go 12-5 with the Seahawks, and I'll just
repeat what I said today on the morning show. If
you could give me odds, and legitimate odds, like decent odds,
on the Seahawks losing as many games last year. but
doing it in the first eight games of the season,
meaning New England, Arizona, Washington, the Chargers, the Niners, Denver,
(31:17):
Kansas City, Chicago. That is a mother effort of eight
games to start the year.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Now, who knows?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That schedule may look totally different in a couple of
weeks from now. But would it stun the hell out
of you if the Seahawks are 5-3 after eight games
with that schedule they've got?
Speaker 6 (31:31):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Wouldn't shock me at all.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So they might match last year's loss total in the first.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Eight games of the year.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
But I got them going 12-5 and losing the NFC
West to a 13-4 Rams team. So NFC championship game. Dick,
who plays in that game?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well, unfortunately it's not the Hawks because I don't think
they'll get the tiebreaker on the Rams. I do think
the Hawks are the second best team in the NFC,
but that's not the way the playoffs work. You've got
to be a wild card team, and so the Rams
and the Seahawks will have to face each other in
the second round instead of in the NFC championship game.
So I've got the Rams going to the Super Bowl
in the NFC and the Hawks losing to the Rams
(32:09):
in the second round of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
So who plays in the NFC championship game?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
NFC championship game is going to be, I have it
right here.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You actually wrote it down?
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Oh, I did.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
I did write it down.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
He takes it seriously, Jackson. We're not goofing around.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
I've got the Rams over the Bears in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Rams-Bears, all right.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
In a rematch of last year's divisional playoff game, which
was phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Okay, Jackson, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Dick, you're half right on what you're saying. The Seahawks are, indeed,
the second-best team in the NFC, but defense travels, and
I think that they end up as the second wild
card as opposed to the first wild card, and the
way that that structures out, I think that allows them
to play the Rams in the NFC Championship in that game.
(32:53):
I'm going to have the Rams beating the Seahawks in
the NFC Championship because I think they are the clear
and away better team. They have sold out, and I
think they're going to go for it and get it.
But I think the Seahawks make the NFC title game.
They're better than Chicago. They're better than Detroit. They're better
than the rest.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
All right. I'm going to throw you guys both a curveball.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I think the Seahawks are going to fall short of
the NFC Championship this year. I think the Rams will
play in the NFC Championship game. But I think they're
going to get beat by the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
What?
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
We're playing this.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
We're absolutely playing this.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Dallas Cowboys will come out of nowhere, and they will
play in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Dak Prescott. I'm going to give you one more prediction.
It's going to win the MVP.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Cowboys are going 13-4. Dak Prescott last year was number
five in the National Football League in QBR. He was
number three in yards last season. He threw for 30 touchdowns.
I think if they get any semblance of a defense,
they're going to win a lot of games. Dak Prescott
is going to beat the Rams and the Cowboys and
Rams in the NFC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
All right, AFC Championship game.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Dick.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
AFC Championship game. Bills and Texans. It's going to be
a rematch of the game that's going to be played
this Sunday.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
And the Buffalo Bills will beat the Houston Texans. No,
what do I have? Do I have the Bills or
do I have the Texans? No, I have the Texans.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
You have the Texans, right?
Speaker 5 (34:11):
I have the Texans beating the Bills in the AFC
Championship game.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
And by virtue of their win over the Bills, which
was my Factor Fiction pick this week, by virtue of
their win over the Bills, they will have the tiebreaker
and therefore get the home game over the Bills in that.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
AFC Championship game. Okay, all right. Bills and Texans with
the Texans winning.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Jackson.
Speaker 9 (34:29):
I think the Bills are in the AFC Championship game
hosting it. They think it's their year against the Chargers.
And once again, in their new stadium, once again, Josh
Allen falls short. I think it's an all-LA Super Bowl
Rams-Chargers at SoFi.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
Rams-Chargers with no Rams or Chargers fans.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I'm going to give you another curveball. I think in
the AFC Championship... I like the Houston Texans against the
Cincinnati Bengals and Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I think Joe Burrow is going to have a healthy
bounce-back year, and I think the Bengals are going to
beat him. We're looking at Cincinnati and Dallas in Super
Bowl 61.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
You know, it's funny because I think Dallas and Cincinnati
are the mirror images of each other in their other division.
It's the quarterback throwing for 4,500, 5,000 yards, great wide receivers,
two on each team.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Can they get semblance of defense?
Speaker 4 (35:25):
And if they do, they can make the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Both teams can.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
And I will just keep it going. The Dallas Cowboys
win the whole thing. Wow.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Dallas Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl for
the first time in 32 years.
Speaker 5 (35:36):
But, guys, I do.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
You like that? Suck on that, boys.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Where's the Jerry Jones drop?
Speaker 5 (35:42):
Yes, how about them Cowboys?
Speaker 4 (35:45):
I do love the fact that all three of us
picked the Rams to be in the NFC Championship game, though,
because that's the kiss of death.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Right.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
That is phenomenal. And part of the reason that I'm
picking the Rams to do it. I'm going the Rams
to win it all.
Speaker 9 (35:56):
And I'm picking the Rams to beat the Chargers by
a lot in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
So they got no shot is what you're saying.
Speaker 8 (36:01):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (36:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Well, we're going to break. We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Kevin Harlan is going to join us next right here
on 93.3 KJRFM.
