Is this a sport Equinox toy? Today? We got hockey, we.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Got NBA basketball, we got the World Series, we got
nh and we got the NFL playoffs and MLS all
in one night. So if you want to catch everything,
I think there's like thirty two TVs and the sports
book in here. I'm not sure exactly, but there's a
lot of them, and there's enough to have every single

(03:16):
event on at least one TV in the sports book.
So if you're looking for a place to celebrate the
sports Equinox, Dick and I like to celebrate once a
year together. Actually, I'm not sure if it even happens
every year. I think it's like happened like thirty five
times or whatever in history. But we're here at the
Emeral Queen Casino hanging out live. We're gonna be here
all night long. Show goes until six when Jedfish and

(03:37):
Tony will take over on the Fishing and Hunting Show,
and then after that we're gonna be airing the arrest
of the Steelers Giants game on ninety three three. I
don't even know where to start, guys. I mean, first
of all, Christopher kids in for Jackson, Chris, Chris, how
are you Powich going on back there?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh? Not much, man? How are you? Guys? I'm good,
I'm good. You said you were watching film on the Seahawks.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
We're gonna be relying on your expertise at some point
in time because I have no idea what the hell
we're talking about. So, I mean, guys, Honestly, I don't
even know where to start with this thing. Yesterday, Like,
we could start with the Huskies if you want. On Saturday,
we could start with the Seahawks. Yesterday, it just seems
like it's Groundhog Day where we're sitting here on a
Monday afternoon saying the same thing regarding both teams and

(04:18):
both teams when they lose games. Look, I know you
like to talk about play calling and not committing to
the run and things like that. Other people talk about
Geno Smith, other people talking about the defense. I just
think the number one issue, if there's one issue overall
for both football.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Teams, it's the offensive line for both the Huskies and
the Seahawks, both of them.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
Both of them are having the exact same problem. I mean,
you're watching Indiana. I'm watching Indiana. Will Rodgers is on
the run the entire day. You had a pick six
that was blown up by an interior defender that was
going to Denzel Boston. I think it may have been
a double pass, by the way, but they never got
there because this guy Ponds breaks the whole thing up
and is there for the pick six, and you give

(04:58):
it away free points.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
You dub again, getting all the way to the What
did Fish say today? They had seven drives seventeen points.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Inside the Indiana thirty five yard line, and they got
seventeen points.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
On those drives.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
The Seahawks same issue getting all the way down to
the five yard line, either getting nothing because you know,
Smith slips on fourth down, or be having to settle
for three because Connor Williams snaps the ball to freakin Northgate,
for God's sakes, way over Gino Smith's head, and so
you settle for three points on that drive.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
And I wonder for the Seahawks, Dick.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
I mean, look, obviously all through the universe things go
different for Buffalo, I get it, whatever, But early on
in the game, when it was seven to three, seven
nothing and you got to pick by Josh Job, you
have the ball deep inside Buffalo territory. If they can
just find a way to get a couple of touchdowns
on the board there, Who knows the way that freaking
thing goes. Yesterday against Buffy.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh, you would have gotten the fans, and the fans
were already into it.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
I mean the fans were ready to rock as soon
as that ball got snapped over the head. I mean
the fans there and they heard me. They heard pissed
off at the fans. After the Giants game, they were meh.
Against the Niners, they were good yesterday. They came ready
to be loud yesterday, but the only fans that ended
up being loud at the end of the game were
like the twenty thousand fans clad in red, white and
blue yesterday.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
For the Pals. Would you hear what Geno Smith said yesterday?
He said it felt like a road game, you know,
don't play so bad, felt like a thank you. I
oh him, yeah, okay, not just him, Yeah yeah, just him.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
I thought the defense was also terrible yesterday against Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I mean, everything was terrible.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Right when you lose thirty one to ten, Dude, there's
nobody amount from any criticism, nobody, So I mean, I
guess we can do the whole blame pie thing, and Chris,
you can jump Binder get involved in this as well
if we're looking at the blame pie.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
And let's just start with the Seahawk game.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Right because the Indiana game, we had the postgame show Saturday,
we got plenty of times talking about that.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
The Seayalk game is rough from yesterday.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
If we're doing a blame pie for yesterday's game, and
Dick will start with you at Christy jumping who's getting
the biggest If there's let's say there's four pieces of pot, right,
it's like one of those old Marie Callenders chocolate cream pies,
banana cream pies, coconut cream pie, which I love, by
the way, and we're just we got four guys, four

(07:11):
big guys, four big pieces a quarter each or whatever.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Who's getting the biggest piece?

Speaker 4 (07:18):
The coaching staff gets the biggest piece. In my impression,
when you have as undisciplined, sloppy a three and a
half hours that you have had coming off of an
excellent game, but having two bad games prior to that,
so that's now three out of four games where you
have just looked out match, you get a snap over
the head, you get throwing screens into defensive lineman. You've

(07:41):
got you've got two guys fighting with each other on
the field, and then on the sidelines, you have a
quarterback with a taunting penalty throwing a football in a
guy's face. You have a delay of game on fourth
and seventeen, fourth and nineteen, you.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Have fumbling a putt. Yeah, I mean it's coaching.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
It is coaching you a sloppy, undisciplined football team right now. Now,
I am not making a blanket statement of Mike McDonald's
ability to coach in the NFL yesterday Ryan Grubbs's ability
to coach in the NFL. I am saying, right now,
this looks like a poorly coached football team. And you
look at the names on the offense and the names

(08:19):
on defense. Obviously they were out with without a big
name yesterday in number fourteen. I understand that, But you
look at the name the individual pieces, they are not
greater than the sum right now. The sum it just
doesn't add up. You have much more talent on that
defense than it's showing right now, and on that offense
you have talented players that you still cannot get the

(08:42):
ball to in number nine. So it is a coaching
issue first and foremost. But that's not to take any
of the blame off the players.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
But you asked me what the biggest piece was, Yeah,
it is the coaching, Chris, how about you.

Speaker 5 (08:52):
I will then back it up by saying I agree
with you, Fane. And then the next important piece of
this pie, pizza pie, that Softie talked about is the
fact that the trenches, my gosh, they can't do anything.
And Greg Bell and I have talked about this at
nauseum coming into the season. If Ryan Grove was to
do anything with his offense, he's going to need an
offensive line. And I was on I was the guy

(09:14):
that thought the offensive line was better. Boys, that take
really bad right now because the offensive line is not
better than it was last year.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
It's actually worse. I know.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Not having Abe Lucas is really really hurt.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's huge.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
It's insane how bad they need him, and they're out
there forcing right tackle and there's so many unsolved issues
on that offensive line. It's something that, oh, we've seen
before with this Seahawks teams. It's not just because oh,
it's Pete Carroll thing. It's actually Okay, we're eight weeks
into the Seahawks season and it's still an issue. And
it feels like this issue has been going on for

(09:48):
the last eight years because they haven't had a sufficient
offensive line unit that can run the ball effectively and consistently.
And when you can't do that, they can't do anything.
As you guys witness you were just talking went off
wax about how terrible the game was. He had to
freaking Watson on Fubu, like you had to witness that
and you couldn't even skip.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
To the most the worst parts. So yeah, off the trenches.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
For me, Well, I'm just I think generally I agree
with what you're saying with your latter comment there about
the offensive and defensive lines. I mean the defensive line,
to me, were they not as healthy as they've been
all year long?

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yesterday they had everybody there. Everybody they had, but other
than that, everybody they're supposed to have. They had Leonard Williams,
they had Draymond Jones, they had Boya.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Mafe, they had Byer Murphy and they've added to it
and they looked terrible against Buffalo right now. Part of
that's Josh Allen. I mean, this guy's a stunning right
Like Buffalo is really really good. I mean, those three
weapons they've got, the running backs they have that is
at the fifty, Greg Russeau, whatever his name is, he's
a badass. I would love to have a guy like
that on the Seahawks. And he's wrecking the offense from

(10:54):
the first freaking play of the game. For God's sake,
so he was really hard for them to deal with.
But I do agree with you that I think and
I would go to the offense a little more than
the defense because I think that scheme can mask more
personnel issues on defense than it can on offense.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
And here's what I mean by that.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
I'm curious to get your take Dick on this and Chris,
you two will get huge take on this as well.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
At five o'clock. When you have a bad.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Offensive line, it's really hard to do a lot of
stuff on offense, Like you can't even function. It's hard
to get the ball to your best players. It's hard
to get time for your receivers to get into routes,
it's hard to get space for your running backs to
operate in. When you have a bad offensive line, it's
really hard to access a big part of your playbook.
When you have a bad defensive front, I feel like

(11:44):
you can scheme some of that stuff. If you're Mike McDonald.
Maybe I'm crazy on that blitzeres and stuff. Yeah, but
maybe I'm nuts on that. I just begin And again,
I know I'm just speaking kind of in generalities here, guys.
To be totally honest with you, and we'll get huge
take on this coming up at five o'clock. I always
that when Mike McDonald came here, the defense was gonna
just instantly get better because Mike McDonald's defensive coordinator. And

(12:07):
that's not what's happening now. Look to be fair, it's
been eight games, right, I'm sure there's a lot more
of the guy's gotta do. He just got Ernest Jones
on the roster. He did have though everybody healthy, You had,
Riki had Witherspoon, everybody was back there. The only guy
that you mentioned was god was Jenna. So that was
the healthiest they've been the entire year. And look the

(12:27):
offense getting down to after the pick by Job. You
get shut out, right, you get nothing because you turn
the ball over on downs?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Correct? Is that when Gino fell down after the job interceptions? Correct?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
And then what does the defense do instead of pinning
him deep from the seven yard line? They allow it
twelve play, ninety three yard drive and all of a
sudden you're down fourteen to three. I mean I heard
Mahomegren talking about this guys this morning, that the snap
by Connor Williams, who I'll just tell you I have
not been as impressed with Connor Williams as I thought

(12:58):
I was gonna be. I thought to be way better
than this, and maybe he came back too early, and
that is certainly possible that he did come back too early.
But I have not been impressed by him. But I
will say this in defense of Connor Williams. The snap
over Gino's head and Gino stepping on his foot just
seemed like fluke things, just terrible timing, awful, fluke, stupid

(13:19):
things that likely will never happen again the rest of
the year, right Like, you'll like it, never happen another
snap like that, and you'll likely never have Geno Smith
step on a center's foot. And for those two things,
both of them, to happen where they happened, was just unbelievable.
I mean, honestly, it was like somebody out there, guys
just did not want the Seahawks to win that game yesterday.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
Nobody remembers it if it's on the forties night, remembers
it and nobody cares either, right whatever. But I just
think all those things and then your point about the
undisciplined nature. Look, I mean, obviously they're pissed off they're passionate.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
But Derek call and Jared Reid, right, the two of them, Yeah,
we're going at it on the sideline. You may have
noticed they actually were going at it on the field first.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Did you see that first?

Speaker 3 (14:06):
And Buffalo had Buffalo had a player He's like, hey,
break step in.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
It was so funny. I don't know what he said.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
And maybe somebody's got somebody miked up and they can
play it somewhere.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
But you saw that, Yeah, I'm like, what the hell
is this?

Speaker 4 (14:20):
And and he can you can read you could kind
of read the TV guy because I went and went
back and watch it today.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
The TV got a good angle.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
You can see his whole face and he was kind
of like, come on, guys, bringing the hand, tell our
guys to stop arguing with each other, and look, I'm embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
And in the end, those guys were fine. You saw
him on the sideline. They were they were they were
you know, kissing, makeup whatever. They'll be fine. You know,
football players being football players, guys get fired up.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I get it. But at the the the optics of
that were just terrible. They were horrible.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
When you have to have an opposing player step in
between two of your own players to keep them from
killing each other on the field. It's just not a
very good look at all. And then the thing with
Gino throwing the ball. I mean, look, I don't think
he meant to do that. I think he just was
flipping the ball away and whatever. It was a bad
idea by him.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
He can't do that. It has to be better.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
But then on top of that, when things like this happened,
you lose all the benefit of the doubt, like, did
you happen to see I think it was after the
interception they showed Gino on the sideline and people thought
he was crying.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Hugh thought he was crying. I didn't think he was crying.
I just think that's his facial looks.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Looked like he said, you didn't you didn't accuse him
of crying, But he basically sarcastling.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
He said, yeah, your quarter about crying on the side.
I don't think he was crying.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
I think that's him going, man, come on right, it's
just yes. But when you when all these other things
happen at the same time, you're like, well, this is
just part for the course. We got players going after
each other. We got guys following on other players. We
got players snapping, we got two guys fight, We got
a quarterback crying, Julian Loves getting in mcdermot's face at

(15:58):
one point during that game yesterday as well. So I
my hope is this that Mike McDonald And I heard
Greg Chris, you guys were talking about this today on
your show about Mike McDonald.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
No, actually it was the Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Sorry, somebody Chuck may have asked Holmegrin if McDonald needs
to get a little more fired up. And I have
no idea what he's doing behind the scenes, right, no clue,
of course, but he's very he's very reserved. Yes, I
happen to kind of like that out of him, to
be totally honest with the still seems what I would
have done if I were him last night in that
locker room before the media was allowed in is I

(16:33):
would have ripped everybody's ass everybody.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
And just said, is this what you want people to
think about us? Honestly? Like, is this what you guys
are looking for?

Speaker 3 (16:41):
You want to have opposing players breaking up fights, You
want to have people accusing our quarterback of crying on
the air. You want one of our best offenders to
be going at it with an opposing head coach. Is
that what you guys want? Because that's what people are
saying about us. Well, that's unfair. I don't give a
damn if it's fair. Unfair because perception in this league,
especially when it comes to fan bases and media, is

(17:01):
all that matters. And the perception for yesterday's game, And
I'm with you generally, Dick, You know that overall, I
think the Hawks are gonna be fine, But yesterday was
that game where if Mike McDonald is ever going to
do something he doesn't normally do and rip somebody and
ripped the whole team, it's yesterday, absolutely.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
And I think we have seen enough of the Hawks
this year to know that every time they play an
upper echelon team, it looks like a mismatch. Right, They've
played three upper teams and they've gotten smoked. Now, they
were in the Detroit game for a while, but it
wasn't a game at the end. It certainly wasn't a
game at the end against San Francisco, and it certainly

(17:40):
wasn't a game at the end against Buffalo.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
So they have gotten smoked by the three playoff, purely true.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Teams that we know are going to go to the playoffs,
they've gotten smoked by all three of them.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm okay with that. I'm with you. I heard him
on with the End today and we'll talk to him
later on today at five o'clock.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
This season would look and feel so much differently if
they'd have beaten the Giants, right because they'd have just
taken care of business against the team they should win,
they would be five and three. You'd look and say, hey,
you've beaten every team you're supposed to beat. You've lost
to the three really good teams you're gonna play. Guess what,
You're only gonna play a couple more of those the
rest of the game. A ten rest of the season,

(18:16):
a ten win season is right out there for you.
You just keep taking care of business on the games
you're supposed to win, and you're gonna be just fine.
But they threw that opportunity away a few weeks ago
by losing to the Giants, not only costing them a game,
but also making us as fans think that man, they
can lose to anybody. They have the capability of playing

(18:40):
so horribly that they can get really pushed around by
one of the worst five or six teams in the
NFL at home, and that.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Is really worrisome.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, I mean, hopefully the Giant loss will wake them up,
and they're less likely to do that because they had
the Giant game.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
We'll see.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
But like I'm looking at the first quarter or yesterday
against Buffalo when they were still very much in the game,
and the Seahawks only ran six plays the entire quarter.
I mean, they're on pace to run twenty four plays
in the game after one quarter and in the first seventeen.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
But again, the first seventeen plays thirteen and more passes. Yeah, yeah,
thirteen out of seventeen. I mean, the script, what was
the right but what was the What was the context though?
What was the context of the defense that Buffalo was playing.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Did you see a stack box? I don't know. I mean,
I I honestly wasn't looking for that.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
I mean, if you're gonna throw those numbers out, then
you tell me was it a stack box? I have
no idea what they were doing. I mean, I'm not
trying to be a jerk. I mean, maybe what you're
saying is totally correct that they should have run the ball.
I have no idea what Buffalo was doing defensively. I
wasn't looking at and counting how many guys were five
yards off the.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Line of scream.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
But it's technically the boxes five yards, but it could
be six or whatever. I have no idea what Buffalo
was doing on those plays.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
So what my point is, it doesn't It shouldn't matter. Okay,
it shouldn't matter. I do not think they were stack boxes.
I never looked on the field, and when I was
at the game in person or rewatching it today, did
I ever look and go, damn, they got seven and
a half eight guys in the box right now.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
They're really trying to stuff. They're really trying to stuff
the run.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
But I saw a tweet of yours about the carries
and yards for carries for Jonah Coleman at the end.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Of the first quarter where he carries where.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
He wasn't doing anything, but he ended with nineteen carries
for over one hundred yards. They kept giving it to
him and it finally cracked. And that's the issue with
Ryan Grubb is he gives up. He gives up, and
at least Jed Fish didn't give up.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
On Saturday.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
It didn't come up with a win, but it did
untracked Jonah Coleman in that game to the point where
he had five over five yards of carry and one
hundred yards, even though the first quarter for Jonah Coleman
looked every bit as horrible as the first quarter for
Ken Walker on the.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Way, Well, you're down twenty four to three after the
third quarter, so you kind of throw the fourth quarter
out throw.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Perspective of play calling. I mean, you fall behind seventeen
to three on the very first drive or the third quarter,
and then you come back with that with that first
drive of the second half, right, So you're down fourteen
points there, and you ran the ball twice three times
to Kenny Walker and including a fourth one that the

(21:11):
pick was going to him, the interception was going to
Kenny Walker. So they they targeted Kenny Walker four times
on that drive and they were.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Moving the ball.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
That's the thing. I mean, you're down seventeen to three. Yeah,
I mean it feels like, okay, we're in trouble. But
it's a two score game with twenty three minutes to go,
and you go from your own thirty to the Buffalo
forty nine and then you throw a pick.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
Well, this might surprise a lot of people. Kenny Walker
is averaging this year on the ground. Yeah, his career average. Yeah,
everybody thinks, oh, man, Kenny Walker's got no room to run. Man, nothing,
it's his career average this year. The problem is he's
got seventy four carries when in the last two years
he had two hundred and twenty eight and two hundred
and nineteen. He's barely getting He's gonna barely get to
one sixty.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yeah, right now. Missed he missed one game or two games,
missed two each last two years, and then he was
sick against Detroit's six games this year.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
He played fifteen last year, and he played fifteen the
year before, and he was well over two hundred carries.
He's projected to have one hundred and fifty seven carries.
That's fifty to seventy.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yes, I get it. Then what he had each of the
last two years with the same yards per carrie.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
I think the question, though, is why aren't they getting
him the ball? Because he's obviously a talent, right, the
massive talent that why aren't they getting in the ball?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, let's ask Hugh Miller at five o'clock because there's
got to be a different reason for this besides just
Ryan Grubb is stupid, or Ryan Grubb panics, or Ryan
Grubb doesn't know what he's doing. Because this is not
Week nine of the NFL season. Mike McDonald should be
wanting to get number nine the ball, and they're not
getting in the ball.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Fourteen touches on a game where you don't have DK Metcalf, Right,
Ken Walker should touch it twenty five times when you
don't have DK Metcalf and twenty times when you do have.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
D We're way laid for a break. We got to
get the Factor Fiction.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
He had five fun with Auto with three forty five
on ninety three to three KJRFF.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Now back to Frost, Proud Cors like choos to chill
Mondays with Safie and dipp on your Home for the
twelfth Man and the NFL Sports Radio ninty three point
three kjr FM.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
So I'm just while we're kind of sitting here during
the break, we're back here at the embra Quin Casino, SAFTI, Dick,
Chris kids in for Jackson. Back in the studio. We
got fun with Audio. Next segment, Factor Fiction are picking
a couple of minutes. Here, I'm looking at the first
four drives of the game. So this took us all
the way to.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
The slip by Geno Smith.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Right, Okay, So we're going up until about the four
and a half minute mark on the second quarter, and
I'm seeing Seahawks. First drive ran three plays. They targeted
Kenny Walker on one play. Second drive they ran three plays,
They handled the ball off to Kenny Walker on two plays.
Third drive Kenny Walker left for one, pass to Kenny
Walker for five, pass to Kenny Walker for seventeen.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Now they're first in goal. Right after the play by JSN.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
They give the ball to Kenny Walker on first and
goal from the one and then guess what happens. Staff
the ball over Gino's head and the drive is over.
The very next drive, they get all the way down
to the seven yard line, they give the ball to
Kenny Walker for a three yard game, third and goal
for the one. He goes nowhere. Then they go forward
and fourth down. He was in the game behind Geno Smith.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
And he falls down.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
So I'm I'm seeing at least Dick for the first
four drives of the game, they're getting number nine involved I.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Did not have nearly as much problem with ken Walker
touches in this game as I've had in pass games.
I just made the statement that they passed thirteen. They
just passed on thirteen of the first seventeen plays. I mean,
that's that was just my comment. And and you know,
Mike McDonald made a comment again about the passing games
that we got a little we always get pass happy at.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
The end, and I'm just making and at the end
at the end of games, evidently, well they're do and
twenty four to three.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
In my opinion, anytime you are less than three scores down,
you are still in a run pass situation.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Okay, all right, if you are two scores are less down.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Now, I'm not talking about with three minutes left of
the game, right, I'm talking about with if clock is
not a factor, right, if you are two or less
scores down, you are still absolutely in run pass situation.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
And Greg made a good point.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
He commented on Mike McDonald's comment that were passing too late.
He said, were passing too early as well. Back to
seventy percent pass run ratio number one in the NFL,
and you have to be able to run the football.
I don't care how good your pass game is. I
don't care how good your quarterback quarterback is. You have
to be able to run the football. And if they
stay at seventy percent, I think this team's gonna win

(25:31):
seven or eight football game.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
It was twenty four to three after the third quarter.
It was thirty one to three with eleven minutes to
go in the game. So thirty one to three, forget it. Yeah,
thirty thirty one three, forget it. And by the way,
the Seahawks did not get the ball Dick in the
fourth quarter until it was thirty one to three. It
was thirty one to three when they got the the
their first possession, right eleven nineteen to go on the

(25:52):
fourth All right, let's get the factor of fiction right now.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Percent to go. Glad you're with us.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
All right, I'm looking at a college football game this weekend.
Are we still allowed to call it the world's largest
outdoor cocktail party?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's not like offensive to somebody.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I didn't know that cock that a cocktail party is
an offensive term.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Evidently it is in jackson I don't know what A
lot of stuff is offensive and what's not offensive.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I got no idea, say cocktail I think.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
I think every day I want to wake up and
get to send me an email with what I can
say and when.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
I can'tt the Red Rivers shoot at it price not
the Civil Wars cocktail party?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Say that car.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Well, the world's largest outdoor cocktail party is happening this
weekend in Jacksonville with the Florida Gators of.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
The Georgia Dogs.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
But Georgia Bulldogs have a win over Texas and Georgia
Bulldogs have a win over Clemson. That is two of
the top eleven teams of the country, and Georgia has
beaten both of them. Georgia looks like a team to
me that's pissed off since halftime of the Alabama game. Okay,
and they're giving I know they're giving some points this

(27:21):
weekend against the Gators.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
But the Gators are terrible.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I think Georgia wants to annihilate these guys, and they
Florida is on death's door. They're given sixteen and a half,
and I can see this being a thirty eight to thirteen,
thirty eight to ten type win for the Georgia Bulldogs.
The last three games in the series by Georgia, I've
opened blowouts.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
It'll happen again this weekend.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Give me Georgia minus the sixteen and a half against Florida.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, your boy, billion eighth Heer is just kind of
hanging in there with the type of season that we
thought he was gonna have. I think he's got his
third quarterback, by the way, too, and he's you know,
he's four and three right. The really really good team
he played in Miami, they hammered him forty one to seventeen.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, I'm not even sure how good Miami is.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
By the way, Miami has been kind of getting by
a little bit right some help from their acc referee people.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
They did lose in overtime to Tennessee. They did play
well in that game, so we'll give them credit for that.
But other than that, Florida has been just that kind
of mediocre team that we thought they'd be in.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Georgia blows out mediocre.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Teams, especially in rivalry situations, and this is a rivalry situation.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
All right.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Georgia minus the points is the pick. You like it,
it's fact, you hate it, it's fiction. The four nine,
four to five one. We had a three and two
week last week, so we're slowly, quietly creeping back up
to the top. Before you know it will be right
there at the top of the mountain.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Looking down.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
We want on everybody underneath our boot like they belong
in this contest. You got another eight or nine minutes
to get your pick in the four nine, four or
five to one. Fact if you like it, fiction, if
you hate it, the four nine, four to five one.
I'll brought to you by our friends at the Emerald Queen, Causina,
the entertainment capital of the Northwest.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
We'll be here tonight for the sports Equinox. We got soccer.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
I believe you call it football. We got football. We
be called football. We got hockey, we got basketball. We
got what else do we got tonight? Help me at
Baseball World serious, get the whole thing at the Emeral Queen.
Get on down here. Again we like Georgia minus the
points against Florida for a pick, we'll get a break,
a little fun with audio. H Mellen joins it five
more on the Hawks at four, and we'll get some

hated you hear that, and they're like an opener something
we use for.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
This or.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
There is.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
It's now time for Softie and Dick's fun with audio.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Jimmy g pawn Star, Jimmy, mister daroppolo. Now let's have
some fun with audio. By the way, you let me
be a little ba aggressive. There isn't there, hope, Dave
trigger question for you. What's that Daniel Jones made fifteen
prime time starts? Yes, what's his record? Four and eleven?

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Boy, you've got a lot optimism for Dana three and
twelve one and chatty.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
My next guess. And I just told you to take
the giants to the points. What am I doing? I
don't know. Man, we'll find where's your son? Called him again?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Trash Can drash Can Dan terrible? All right, here we go. Uh,
it's not for a little fun with audio. Slash hated
you hear that?

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear that? What's that?

Speaker 6 (30:35):
Dick?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
We start in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
After the Hawks were blown out by the Bills yesterday,
Geno Smith said, at times in the game, it felt
like they were playing a road game at Buffalo instead
of being at home.

Speaker 7 (30:47):
You know, but hats off to Buffalo. They came in,
they beat us at home, their fans travel well, you know,
it was real loud and there kind of felt like
we were on the road at tom So they came out,
they fought, they beat us, and uh, you know, we
can say we may miss, but they capitalize.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
So the last fifteen games or excuse me, thirty games
at Lumenfield or whatever you want to call it, the
Hawks are fifteen and fifteen. They are literally a mediocre
average ball club at home in the last thirty games
they played, and that's starting with the twenty twenty one season,
where fans were brought back in after.

Speaker 4 (31:19):
COVID, which means they're better on the road than at home.
That's right, because they've had winning records.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
So why is there Is that because the stadium isn't intimidating?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Is because the team isn't good?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Is it because the schedule is easier on the road
than it is at home?

Speaker 4 (31:34):
It seems to me like the team has come together
better when they're away from home. I don't know if
it's there like resting on their laurels, like we just
need to show up and the fans are going to
carry us to a win, which clearly the fans are
not doing anymore. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, well, I think it's a it's a conversation.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I think we should get into it next segment because
we don't have enough time now. But fifteen and fifteen,
I mean, guys, listen, the mystique of Lumenfield is gone.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
It's gone. It's for now. You can get it, get
it back. It's gone for now. Hey, Dick, did you
happen to hear that? What's that?

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Dick?

Speaker 3 (32:05):
After beating the Panthers twenty eight to fourteen yesterday, Broncos
head coach Sean Payton took to the podium and shared
his brutally honest thoughts about Carolina's office.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Now impressed with you were the defense today?

Speaker 6 (32:17):
I was. I wish we would have finished better. I
said this, it's not a good offense we played. It's
just the truth. So we expected that and we're going
to see a lot better teams.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
God, how about that that poor bastard Dave Canalis, right, yeah,
goes down to Carolina and is it Dave Tepper is
at the owner of the Panthers, says, here you go, kid, here's.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Bryce Young, good luck.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
And if that doesn't work out, here's Andy Dalton, good
luck with him. I mean, this is how coaches get
fired because they're not putting the right situation. Like you're
talking all the time about quarterbacks being in the right
situation and how if they were in a different system
maybe they would have floorish. Same for coaches. I mean,
Dave Canalis might be a wizard, but you might.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Never know, could be. I'm looking at it.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
Here's the EPA per playgraph. The Panthers way down here
in the corner.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Where are we at.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
We're in the middle, right, like dead middle, like the
Seahawks are a dead dead average football team.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
And their record reflect and their record is four and four,
no doubt. All right, may Dick, did you happen to
hear that? What's that?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Dick?

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Let's go two three.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
The Commanders beat the Mayors yesterday the fifty two yard
tip drill touchdown. We call that a hail Mary. From
Jade Daniels to Noah Brown. Local radio play by play
voice Bram Weinstein, alongside London Fletcher and Logan Paulson, had
the call for the Commanders on wb I, g FM
and DC for with the.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Goal line they bring three.

Speaker 8 (33:44):
Daniel's backing up.

Speaker 9 (33:46):
He's just gonna have the one fly, goes to the
right side, steps away from the defenders, gives themselves some
time now, steps up, sires heads towards the end zone.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
Is talking about the.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
World. Just don't.

Speaker 8 (34:31):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
I couldn't understand any of that, and I don't even care.
That was phenomenal. That's how you should react if you're
a bunch of local yokos. Man, that was great. You
know what, though, I asked you about this, and I
want to ask him a five. How come more teams
don't blitz on hill? Mary's why?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Why?

Speaker 4 (34:49):
Why?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Why let the quarterbacks sit there? That's right, It's just
okay this way.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
When somebody said that Jadeen Daniels ran like forty yards
around the field and thirteen seconds went through the ball
before he uncurked that one, go get him. They said
it was the longest time a quarterback has held the
ball before throwing it in the.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Stat cast era. Wow, thirteen seconds? But did you you
know you talk about did you see the video? And
it was originally taken from this from a fan in
the stands of Tyreek Stevenson.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Of Tyreek Stevenson for.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Those people that haven't seen it, is standing with his
back to the football, taunting the fans after the snap, and.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
He had to look back and go, oh, crape. The
snap has.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Already been and he was the one that tipped the
ball up into the hands of the Commander's wide receiver
for the win.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Terrible cut him? Cut him?

Speaker 3 (35:39):
I would him cut him? Is he like some big
stud Tyreek Stevenson who cares? Yes, sacrificial lamb send the message?
Are one more real quick here?

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Chris? Uh, Let's keep it at number four. Hey, Dick,
did you happen to hear that? What's that Dick. I've
wanted to hear this. I haven't even heard this yet.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
On Friday Night, Freddy Freeman hit the first ever walk
off grand Slam in World Series history. It's like almost
seven hundred games and it's never happened before. Steve Nelson,
how's the Dodgers radio call for AM five seventy in LA.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
The Yankees three, the Dodgers two. The bases are loaded
to out bottom of the tenth, fitting the scenario you
dream about. Freddy is living first pitch, swinging high.

Speaker 10 (36:23):
Fly ball, dude, Freddie Freeman channeling is inner turn Dibson
walk up home run in Dame one of the World Series,
they walk up grand flam.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
That is trumatic call. What a great call, and I
love it when they call. I love it when it.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Works out where the play by play guy sets the
scene before the pitch, right, yeah, you know there's you
think back to Knee House in ninety five.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
You know they'd love to have a fly ball. They'd
love to have a ball to the cat.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Exactly, And that's exactly what happened down the line instead, Right,
I mean, that's just awesome when the play by play
gudd set it.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Up, did you guys have the same thought that I
have when you're watching that player that Damn Freddie Freeman's
got some white teeth, Holy Craper.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
His teeth perfect, like he's wearing valors.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
It's unbelievable, and he's got beautiful teeth, teeth, and then
he hit a home running Game two.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I mean, right now is the MVP of the World Series.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
We'll see what happens tonight in game three obviously, but
I'm just watching that and you guys probably have the
same you know, ye I do. Whenever you see something
like that, you're like, son of a bitch, just one time.
I want to know what that feels like one time
in my life. I want to know what that feels
like to go to a World Series game number one,
because I've never been to one ever and never will

(37:48):
until the Mariners are in it. And then number two,
to have the stadium going bananas like that in a
World Series a walk off? Whatever did you notice though
that who's the guy that does the Joe Davis for
Foxy had a little bit of an od to Vince
Scully when he said she is gone, And then it
was the same spot in right field that Kurt Gibson

(38:09):
hit the hover. The only thing that would have made
it better is if Friedman would have gone around the
bases doing this, doing the pump right hand, pumping it
back like Gibson did. That would have just been perfect.
But I don't know, man. I'm rooting for the Dodgers.
I hope they would have the same thing. I am too.
I don't think they win the night.

Speaker 4 (38:25):
I put a little cash on the Yankees tonight, but
I am I'd be fine if the Yankees lost this
game and I lost my money because I'm rooting for
the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
All right, let's get a break.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
More on the Hawks, More on the Huskies both four
and four, and the words of Jim Harbaugh, who's got
it better. The Huskies are the Hawks next? On ninety
