Your Home for the Huskies probably presents the Coors Light
Husky Honks on Tuesdays powered by Emerald Queen Casino, Sutter Medals,
Seeks Pizza by UA Local thirty two, Eider Construction by
Zoom Care, R and R Foundation Specialists, your Northwest Chevy Dealers,
and by Darwin Natural Pet Food. Now the Husky Honks,
(00:25):
Greg Lewis, Mario Bailey and your host Dave Suffi Muller,
All right.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Was it goes here?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You go?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Man?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
It feels like a couple of weeks because it has
been a couple of weeks since the Husky Honks got together.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Mario, you look like you've grown.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Since the last time we saw it. How Aria man
got my heel? Listen, there you go, Greg got to
see you man looking good.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I think Mario's had a birthday or got a birthday
coming up or something.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
He's getting older, that's the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I'm still there's already some disagreement if it's fifty four
or fifty five on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Talking about this. I know how it is. You know
how old it is.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
See I thought he was born in sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Are doing right now? Okay? Let me ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yes, you know the whole thing that you can't talk
about a woman's age in public.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Are we doing that with this guy?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Too?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Old man?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You don't talk about old man's day. We would not
tell everybody's turned fifty four Saturday.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Who won't share that? We won't tell nobody else. Listen, Mario,
we'll keep it between us.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Okay, thanks, Just celebrate with us Saturday at ours.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
That's what I'm saying for the birthday party. No, you're not.
It's never too old for a birthday party.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
What are the odds that were celebrating Mario's birthday and
not a Husky win on Saturday?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
History what we're going to celebrate both? Great chance that
that's what we're doing. Just celebrate my birthday?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well, I think we should just make it a birthday party.
Come come to a Marine View Drive in De Moines.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I will be there starting at twelve thirty for Mario
Bailey's birthday party on Saturday afternoon. And oh, by the way,
the Huskies are playing the dunk so wear purple wear purple.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
That's right, that's Mario's favorite color. Well, here we go. Man.
It's been a couple of weeks since the UCLA win.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Jedfish has said I'm not telling anybody nothing about my
starting quarterback, which I think is the right call. You
you talked about that in the postcat show after UCLA.
So now that you've been reading all the tea leaves
and translating all the tweets and the social media posts
and the press conferences, do we have any idea? Now
(02:37):
there's there's two things here. Number One, you want to
see done Greg and what you think Jedfish will do
with the quarterback position Saturday.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, at this point, you know, I've come over to
the other camp.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I come on based on what we've seen and and
for me, it really goes to the coach and what
they are really comfortable doing. I think they are way
more comfortable calling plays for a mobile quarterback, for a
quarterback who moves around, for the kid who is you know,
going to be the face in the future of the program,
(03:10):
like they've already stated that they I think they just
rather kind of get to that. Now. Having said all
of that, what do I think they're gonna do. I
think they'll let Will Rogers get a final start as
a Husky, but they will have a leash on him
in a couple of ways. One, they're gonna make the
young Kid's gonna play regardless whether he starts out, and
I think he's gonna get a decent amount of planes on.
(03:32):
But just like last week, if the game starts to
get away and they still feel like they could, you know,
preserve having it and again, are we gonna win this week?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
You know?
Speaker 3 (03:43):
But if they feel like the game's getting away, I
think they'll pull the trigger a little sooner than they had,
you know, a few weeks ago when they were at
Penn State, kind of like what they did last week.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Does that feel like a good idea to start Will
Rogers in this game on session and go to number two?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
What would you do?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
No, No, I've been saying it for a while now,
but I honestly believe that the young man demon gives
us the best chance to win. I think Will Rogers
hasn't been playing well in the last five games. If
you look at the last five games, he's probably thrown
two touchdowns and six interceptions. Our offense really just does
not move the ball. And I understood what you guys
(04:19):
were saying by putting this young man under pressure, but
now it's the end of the season, let that young
man go. And if you talk about what who gives
us the best chance to win? Demon gives us the
best chance to win. He's like the second leading rusher
on the team and he hasn't even been playing, or
he hasn't even played that much. He makes he's a
real playmaker, and I think he just gives us the
best chance. I don't think you should start Will.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
That's two touchdowns and six picks in the last five
since he beat Michigan, Right, So just in your mind,
as I remember what they look like that night, Greg
they beat the Wolverines, Will Rodgers goes twenty one for
thirty one, two seventy one, a couple touchdowns at a pick,
and since then they've lost three of five. He's got
two touchdowns and six interceptions. So I guess there's really
(05:03):
two kind of questions here, Well, maybe actually three or four.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
What happened to Will Rogers? Number one is the first.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Question, because I don't think anybody could have foreseen this
that night.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
After the Michigan game. Well, let's start with the obvious.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
The competition got way better, so I'm not going to
put it all on Will Rogers. The first half of
the season we were playing, you know, the build up schedule,
and frankly, the schedule makers did us a favor. They
gave us an opportunity to play lesser teams in the
beginning so that we could you know, come together as
a team who put fifty one new guys out on
the field. So that was a blessing for us. But
(05:38):
having said that, as the competition ramped up, at the
same time, we started getting injuries up front on the
offensive line, in particular, our two starting left tackles are
both done and they're both gone down, and so the
offensive line at the same time started to get a
little worse. So now all of a sudden, you have
a situation where the quarterback has got to make plays
for you.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
He's either got to be able.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
To escape the rest right which he's not that great at,
or he's got to be able to pick apart better
defenses than he did in the first half. So for me,
it was he got exposed a little bit because the
competition level got bigger, got better, and he also was
under more pressure to make plays because now your offensive
line is not doing as good as job protecting you either,
So now you got to escape and try to throw
(06:17):
on the run and he's just not good at that.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Greg is absolutely right. The competition got better, the schedule
got better. We also played on the road. He has
not won on the road, and he has struggled on
the road as well. And the line, the injuries that
you can't sustain that if Will is not somebody to
escape or make plays with his legs, he's pretty much
a pocket passer. And with our line being that bad
(06:41):
and the later part of the season, he's had his struggles.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
And it feels like, doesn't it, guys that never mind
the fact that you're playing Oregon, but with the experience
that demon got in the second half of the Penn
State game and the second half of the UCLA game,
if there's a natural kind of landing spot for this
guy to finally get a start, it would feel like
now's the time, right. You'd rather have it be against
(07:05):
somebody else, obviously, but now is the time. He's played
a lot of football in the last couple of weeks.
He's played almost a full game the last couple of weeks.
It feels like he should be more prepared than ever
to start this game against Oregon. And I've just thrown
this out there that maybe the fact that he's eighteen
years old is actually a good thing for him, right,
that he's too young to not know what he's supposed
(07:28):
to know. Right, he doesn't know he's supposed to go
down there and be freaked out about Austin Stadium and
the Oregon Washington rivalry for a kid that is from
you know, the southern US, right or from Arizona. Sorry
that he doesn't really understand all this, and maybe this
is the right time.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
For him to go out there and start a football game.
I mean, that's a theory.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I just think, you know, in terms of football, I'm
trying to get it back to just play on the field.
And we've discussed this a few weeks ago, and like
Mario just said, what we come to the conclusion now
is is I do believe he gives us the best
chance to win.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Now, what does that mean? On Saturday?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You're going and playing in the biggest rivalry you know,
Washington State fans, you know, I know you guys have
your opinions, but this is Washington's biggest rivalry. We're going
on the road, We're playing the number one team in
the country.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So there are all of these layers.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
On top of you know, what might make a young
man nervous or somewhat apprehensive apprehensive. Let's hope that he's
the eighteen year old that just doesn't know any better,
because I can tell you an eighteen year old who
was in a similar situation that freaked out me and
so I had a bad start.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But for him, But you weren't.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Playing quarterback though, no, I mean, that's what I'm saying.
So it wasn't even as much pressure I was playing runner.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Hey threw me the ball. All eleven guys from UCLA
came over and hit me, and.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
They ripped the ball out and threw me on the
ground and then they woulent and scored a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
The game was over pretty much from that point. So
that's gonna that's what happened to me.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
But you know, we gotta let Demond tell us that.
We gotta let him tell us. You know, is he
you know, takable?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Is he?
Speaker 3 (09:01):
You know a type of kid who can take and
to face all of that and still come out And
if he does that, I will say this, if he
does do that, we ought to all be.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Extremely excited for the future.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
If he can go down there. Not that he has
to win the game. He just has to look like
a college quarterback. He has to make some plays. He
has to do the things that he does well and
then learn as he goes through the game and then
keep us in contingent. If he does that, we should
all get real exciting. Well, I think I think fans
should be.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
And I get your point by the way, that there's
like levels of excitement to this thing.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
And here the.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Number one, like, oh my god, is if he wins
the game, then holding only the Heisman campaign is gonna start.
You're gonna hear it people freaking out but naked and
jumping the way if he does.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That, I might get button naked and jump into Puget.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Sound out there and by by by the bar and
de Moins on Saturday if that happens. But I mean, look,
he can play well and and and and not win.
There can be flashes, obviously, But if he were your son,
if Demon Williams Mario were your son, would you want
his first college start to this Saturday against the number
one team in America behind that offense.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Grandson, By the way, as old as you.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Are, I'm sorry, I apologize it's my fault.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I apologize.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I would have wanted him to start a few weeks ago,
but yes, I would tell my son to go do
what he's always done. The mine's been playing spectacular his
entire life, I'm sure, So this is just another moment.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And and and you're right.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
The last few weeks is give him the opportunity to
already feel it. He's been with this line, he's been
with the coaches. They've been making calls against Penn State,
U C l A. So I think he's comfortable this
should be his first start. But you tell your son
and your grandson whatever, you tell him to go do
what he's always done.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
And this is my fault because I brought this up
a couple of times about the whole you know, the
pressure of going to Austin, all that stuff. I kind
of find myself just like enough with that. Like, he's
not going to face the freaking Seahawks, for god.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Sakes, he's facing Morgan. They're almost as he's.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Facing a really good football team. But this is not
the eighty five Bears, for God's sakes. He'll be fine.
He'll be fine. And you know what, if he's not fine,
he'll be fine for the bowl game and then he'll
be fine for next year. So I say stardom, But Greg,
I'm kind of with you. I got a hanker and
that he might go with number seven.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Well, I think this is really what for me the
crux is because we all don't know right now because
the coach is hedging his bets, right, but the coach
knows who he's going to start, and if he takes
this week and he prepares Demand as the starter, and
he gets all the reps, every single one of them
with the first team, he is going to be more
prepared to have success on Saturday. If they're going back
(11:40):
and forth and giving him some of the reps and
still trying to decide and they don't fully invest in
him this whole week or the number seven whoever right,
So for me, especially with Demand though, because of the
lack of reps that he's had this season with the
number one unit. So for me, if the coaches determined
that they were going to start him, let's hope that
they've give him all the reps the last two weeks
(12:02):
to prepare for this, because that exponentially will allow him
to be more successful on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I just don't see how you go with Will Rogers.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Our offense has been stagnant for literally five weeks. We
haven't done anything with the ball. Two touchdowns and six interceptions,
but we're not even talking about the playmaking ability. When
Demon gets in the game, he is a true playmaker,
and he can make plays with his feet, with his arm.
He can do it, and it makes it brings a
total different dynamic, especially in the option when and when
(12:32):
he can run the ball. Will Rogers, we do the option,
but he's never running the ball. I say, you don't
even question it. I know he's getting all the reps
in practice. I'm not even looking at practice, but he
has to be starting.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
They ever see Fast Times at Ridgemont High the movie
of course Clever Forrest Weaker.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yes, when he went nuts when they messed up his
car and just tore everybody up on it.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
So I think Oregon looks at us, Oh yeah, right,
oh yeah, absolutely, we're gonna get We're gonna see the best.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Or we see the Oregon team all year, every year,
even the years when we won, they still played our best.
I mean, you can literally say the last three games
they played extremely well against is their coach should have
made some bonehead decisions down the stretch. They are going
to play their best game of the year this week
against US.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
It's unfortunate because we can sneak up on them, but
because we're washing it up because we're Washington and we
beat him the last three times sneak up.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Well, you know who tried to sneak up on him
was Wisconsin exactly two weeks exactly, and they almost won.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
The day, probably thinking about Washington even though we were
three weeks two weeks out, they were already thinking about US.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
I get the feeling that Oregon, led by Dan Lanning,
is going to go full Charles Jefferson on Washington and
it's going to start in the locker room.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, okay, So can that be a positive though?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Can you take advantage of just the unfiltered, pure raw emotion,
way too hyped up, way too jacked up Oregon football
team and do something early where there may be out
of a gap, maybe they're not paying attention, maybe a
personal foul, whatever, and you try to find a way
to kind of Greg I'm just I'm grasping.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
At straws here man, I know I am, well, it's possible,
but let me paint a different scenario. And this is
hard for me to say, right because you guys know
I hate organ for real, not just for football, and
I don't like them at all, nothing about them. This
scares me in a sense that there was a year
where Oregon had a time where were gonna to beat
(14:27):
us like thirteen times in World One, and then we
went down there with the far superior team. We knew
we were a better team than them, and what did
we do? We beat them seventy to twenty one. We
poured it on and we didn't stop. You think that
could happen? So I think they're waiting for an opportunity
to be able to do that. So if they are
that much better than us, will they will score every
(14:50):
point they can and they will try to run the
score as high as they can. I think that's how
much they hate us, and they've been waiting for a year,
right and might this could be the year we're there
that much better?
Speaker 4 (15:00):
What that's the message that if I'm Jetfish, I'm sending
to the Huskies be ready for something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
But here's the opposite side of that. How embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Would it be for them to lose this game and
go out winning four in a row against Oregon?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
There, Lenny will get fired their first thing.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Dog, You're a twenty point dog.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
And if Dan Lanning can't get it done with a
brand new team with one hand tied behind their back
and one foot up their backside and an eighteen year
old kid playing quarterback and a rebuilt offensive line that
I hadn't done anything all year long.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Phield Knight might fire doing the game.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Dude, that orio is what we should be thinking about
doing Saturday on your birthday.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, he's thirty five birthday. He's out the door.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Oregon fans and you know they're happy right now because
they're number one in the country. They're undefeated, headed to
the playoffs or at least a Big Ten championship where
I think they're gonna get whooped there too. But if
anything like that would have happened, even if it's close,
they're still going to quit them and be mad because
they want to do what Greg just said. They want
that seventy piece on us and looking at him, what
(16:06):
he did after the Michigan game and having his team
look at the fans and wave goodbye. He wants nothing
more than to put seventy seven or eighty piece on
the Washington.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Exceed what he did. He's that type of person.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Well, he's got a he's got a huge monk on
his back right now, and it's it's zero to three
against Washington. I mean, you saw the way he reacted
to beating Ohio State. It's like they won the super Bowl. Honestly,
remember last year when they beat Colorado. When Colorado's in
that round, he was talking into they go for clicks
and we go for hits and all. He feeds into
that kind of stuff with his team, and so.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
He would like nothing more than try to, you know,
put a whooping on us that exceeds that seventy to
twenty one.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
The other bad part is is they still have a
lot of players from them three losses, and you know,
like we have a brand new team, they don't. They
have a lot of players that took the mails.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, there's a couple of guys.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
I mean, Jordan James waiting to Terrence Ferguson, who faked
the injury back in Week six, was so obvious that
Kirk herb Street was even calling him out. You know,
guys like that on the team from last year. But
there are some new players they got. They got a
defensive tackle. You know who Derek Harmon is. By the way,
he's a defensive tackle for Oregon. He transferred from Michigan State.
(17:19):
So he's gotten his ass kicked two years in a
row by you doub So he's got, you know, some
kind of motivation too for this thing. But I got
a dream scenario for me, and it may be very petty,
but I got a dream scenario for how I want
this game to end on Saturday. I'm gonna give it
to you next on ninety three three Kjrticipation.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Now back to the Coors Life Husky Hugs on Tuesdays.
Greg Lewis, Mario Bailey and Dave Sati Muller on your

Think the Bears are playing on Thursday? That's fine? Bringing

dream scenario for Saturday, Jabar Mohammed roasted for the game
winning touchdown on Saturday afternoon. My dream scenario. I think
some folks forgot that. Jabar Mohammed the trader went down
(18:58):
to Eugene a wait for the done How don't could
that fly in the locker room? Because it's a new
day and age. I get it, guys, right, not when
you guys played, you know, fifty years ago. But cam
Fab was asked about that today He's like, you know whatever,
he's he's my brother. He played with me last year
and now he's playing down there, so he's much more
mature than me, and I'm like thirty years old. But
(19:19):
I hope the guy gets fried on Saturday by the Huskies.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Well I might.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I might have posted on social media when someone was
talking about Jabar Mohammet that oh, this is just football
these days. And you know he left Oklahoma State so
you know, to come here, So why would we think
he's loyal? And I said, you're right, absolutely right, he
shouldn't have. But I, as a emissary of the legends
of Husky football, have decreed that he could never ever
(19:47):
be honored by the University of Washington, be a part
of any reunions for the University of Washington. Husky football
believe that he could. I'm telling you, if I have
anything to say about it, he could actually never be.
His likeness could never be anywhere in Husky State, like
a picture of him getting an interception. No, we're not
hanging that up nowhere. He just has to be absolved,
(20:07):
so let it be written, So let it be done.
He could no longer be a figure in Husky football. Mario,
are you with him?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
A hundred percent? Agree?
Speaker 5 (20:15):
I don't care about him whatsoever. He has nothing to
do with that National championship run. I give him a
little bit of an out as far as a young
man because of what happened with Coach Debor and everybody leaving.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
So I get that.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
But as far as him in Husky lore and in
Husky history, right, it's like he never exists.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
So when when Denzel Boston lines up across from Jabar
Muhammad on Saturday, I mean, put your old receiver hat
on for a second. And when Josh Jackson does it,
so not Jeremiah Hunter because he wasn't here last year, right, Somebody,
Denzel Boston, Josh Jackson line up and you see him
across from you.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
I'm I'm ready to cook him. I'm ready to cook
him all season long. And he knows it, like I'm
ready to cook him right now and I'm fifty four gud.
I would give him the business, and I would tell
him when I walked in the stadium that this is
what's about to happen to you. He would know, and
he would also know from the time we did our
one on ones, but it was becoming to him.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Yeah, here's the thing. One is organ, Let's just keep
it real.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That's part of the animosity that is organ Maybe it
wouldn't be as strong with other teams. But here's my
thing about the whole transfer in and should we not
feel bad about guys who leave and that sort of thing.
If a kid comes here and he does not have
a path to play and he came here to play football, right,
and he's languishing in the depth chart and freshmen have
gone by him and all that. Yeah, work get better.
(21:38):
But I understand a scenario like that with someone leaving.
But you're a starter, you're a part. You're not behind anybody.
You're gonna get to play here. You've been on this
great championship run that gave you a platform to showcase
your skills with this university.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
To me, that means there was no reason for you
to leave.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You just jump ship because I might get some more
money or I might be you know, grass is greener
on the other side here, It wasn't to get playing
time or to showcase yourself because you've already had that
opportunity to do that and to do that here. So
I kind of hold more against a player that's a
starter that leaves. If you're languishing in the depth chart,
you're not getting any playing time. A new coach came
(22:18):
and you're not jiving with him. I think you should
be able to leave, and I'm not going to hold
that against you. But you're a starter, You're on a
great championship run with us, and for you to leave
and they go to our arch enemy, sure, come on, man,
there's pretty too much there for me to ever forget.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
That when first we don't know how much money is
a little more money, and money is very important no
matter how we try and slice it. And the other
part is just you lost the coach and you see everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Leaving like them.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
Yeah, okay, okay, but because he went to Oregon, I'm
just keeping it from with you.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Real that has a lot to do with it. Yea.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I just give him a slight pass, but but I'm
not letting him be involved or his picture should never be.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
In anything here.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You're two husky ledgend right. That's saying he cannot be
a husky le.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Okay, So like li like in Back to the Future
when the guy's family slowly but disappears, kind of fading away.
If they put a team photo, he's gone Husky football,
he's gone.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
The we took him off.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
On the concourse that you you want his face scratched out.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, he's done. I don't even want to scratch it.
I don't even want it there. Like like Marty didn't
get the kisses his wife.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
It's over good. I'm with you. I mean, I'm all
for being petty, and I'm totally with you, guys, I.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Don't even know if I'm being pet argument. We're trying
to stomp him like you like to play against guys.
You played with the friends anyway, yes, but you went
to the rival.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I mean, if I could use stronger language here and
not get the radio station in trouble, I'd do it.
But right, I mean, I'm telling no questions as now,
you guys know my dream scenario. He's watching Denzel Boston
took his ass on Saturday, okay, as.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
His sales big too, and he likes to play bully ball.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Well, where is the where is the path to victory? Honestly,
because I'm looking at these numbers, guys, Oregon twenty four
in scoring offense eighth and scoring defense seventh, in total
d twentieth and total offense sixty third in rushing offense.
Although Jordan James has been on fire twenty ninth in
rushing defense fifteenth and passing offense seventh and passing defense.
(24:24):
Where is the path to victory for udub Saturday?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Through Dan Lanny?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Okay, and what I mean when I was saying stupid, well,
not just that, but trying to be cute. To me,
the Huskies regardless of those stats on what Oregon's done offensively,
they can run the football. Jordan James is a really
good running back. They have a really good offensive line.
If he tries to get cute in the game plan
and throwing the ball out and trying to put Dylan
(24:50):
Dylan Gabriel as a Heisman Trophy candidate, trying to get
him some stats. If he does that, that to me
can keep the Washington Huskies in the football game. I
think our pass defense can make plays. You put the
ball at risk, maybe an interception there, But I think really,
to me, the path of winning is Dan Lanning trying
to be cute, trying to be you know, I'm gonna
win my way, and him making a bone head play
(25:13):
down the stretch because he's been known to do that.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
So to me, that's the path of winning.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I agree with Greg because I believe it's something Oregan's
doing outside of playing Oregon football. They're an overall better
team than us offensively and defensively. So if they just
play Oregon football, they should win this game. But if
they do anything cute like Greg said, and try and
just beat us up and do something out of Oregon football,
(25:39):
they're in trouble. But we also have to play better
on the road. We still don't have a big ten
row victory. We can't turn the ball over. Our field
goal kicker has to actually kick the field goals and
we have to score touchdowns in the red zone. So
we're gonna need demand to actually play some football, and
our defense has to stop the run because James is
(25:59):
a very good running back.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Well that's the thing, Like, are we as we're talking
about the game plan for Saturday or the red zone
plan for Saturday? What are we talking about? We're talking
about Will Rogers? Are we talking about demon Williams?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Well, if Damon starts, there's no questions, right, but not
like we're gonna bring Will Rogers in, of course.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
But the point is who starts the game, that's the point. Like,
what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Right?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I mean, obviously if Demon Williams, the red zone likely
belongs to Demand. No matter what I would, would you
agree with that on Saturday, whether it's Will starting or
Demond starting. You're at a point now where hey, it's
the second to last game of the year.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
They hell with it, right whatever.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
My concern, guys is this, and I talked to you
about this yesterday. I want to get your thoughts on
it too. If you start Damon Williams, are you gonna
go with him?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
No matter what? It's your show, you struggle, it's your day.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Don't worry about getting the yank, don't worry about the
way you play. We are behind you one thousand percent.
Or are you, honestly guys looking to do whatever you
can to win the game on Saturday. And if he's struggles,
I got number seven senting right there. And if you
go back to number seven, what's his reaction.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Going to be?
Speaker 5 (27:06):
I keep him in the whole game. I don't care what,
No matter what, we go with this young man. And
I just look back, like I said, the last five games,
Will Rogers has done nothing our offense. If you just
sit back and look at our offense, we haven't moved
the ball consistently.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
We haven't scored in any way.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
When we get to the red zone, we don't move
the football, we don't have anything. I say, you keep
this guy in, You bring him in from the start,
and you let him finish the game.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
No matter what, I'd be curious to hear what Hugh
said as a quarterback. Yesterday might have been one of
the few times I didn't get to listen to your show,
so I would be curious to hear what he said. No,
I listened to you quite a bit, must be boring.
My point is this, I think the kid tells you
what you should do. Because if he gets in there
and he's struggling mightily, and he comes to the sideline his
hand addled down and he's rattled, and he looks disgusted
(27:55):
and discouraged, and you know whatever, then for his own sake,
you go You let me wrap my MS around and
pull him out. Let the other guy go in. But
if he comes out, even if he's having a horrible game,
but he's still attentive and he wants to get back
out there, and he wants to make a play, and
he still got confidence in himself. If he expresses that
attitude then yeah, he might have to take a big
(28:16):
l but he was still in it. He was still engaged,
he was still struggling, trying to fight to win. Because
what you have to think about is how is this
going to impact him long term? So if he's still
in there, engaged and connected, I think you keep him in.
But if he's looking like you know, oh, man, I
threw three picks, I'm messing up and I'm discouraged, then
you got to take him out for his own site.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I think in the inn the interest of time Hughes
point is that he just thinks that Will Rogers.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Confidence is just going. He's just shot.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
And then if you bench him for the game and
then ask him to come in and save your ass.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Out.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Question is do you bring Will Rogers in after? Do
you bring the guy man?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I guess I was looking at from the standpoint not
even what it does to the winn or loss of
that game or Will, but how does it impact mon
moving forward? So my comments are only related to what
will happen to Demon Williams.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, if we.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Pull, are you concerned about that that you, for lack
of a better term, shut him.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Back only if he's showing signs of being super discouraged
and this is really gonna impact him, you know what
I mean. You can see when a kid comes over
to the sideline, he's not engaged, he's mad at himself,
he's discouraging all of that. I think sometimes you might
have to say, Okay, let's not cause you any further,
you know, angst by putting you.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Back in there.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
So I think it could, but I think he'll he'll
tell you that if he's still engaged, he's like, yep,
I might have threw two picks, but let me go
throw four. You know, like a shooter who keeps shooting. Ay,
when Mario was in high school and I'm like, missed
ten eleven in a row, but he was a shooter,
so he wanted to He's gonna take that twelve thirteen shot.
If he has that mentality, Yeah, let him, let him,
let him bake, let him go in there, let him
(29:51):
keep doing it. But if he's seeming discourage and afraid
and gun shy, now, then I think that's a cause me.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
But he'll tell you that.
Speaker 5 (29:57):
I think the young man has superior com and I
don't think this game is going to rattle him for
the future. It might not be the game that he wants,
but I don't think it's going to affect his future
and his confidence going down the line in the future
in a bowl game or whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Yeah, I'm not I'm not concerned about that. To be
honest with you, I think he'll be fine, you know.
I mean, obviously there's always the injury factor, but that
could happen against anybody. Right, We're gonna break, come back
and wrap it up for the Hawks. Tell you about
our plans for Saturday as well, and I want to
get I want to get the recipe again for Mario
for victory. Greg told you for Dan Lanning's brain to implode?
(30:35):
Is the plan good plan? Next on ninety three three
kJ RFM.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That back to the Coors Line Husky Howks on Tuesdays,
Greg Lewis, Mario Bailey, and Dave Safti Muller on your
home for the Husky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
JRM third and nine.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
If they can take fifteen seconds off the clock, they're
going to win the ball game. Toss sweep right. Dylan
Johnson cuts up field.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Oh, he's gonna go because the thirty five thirty he
slides down to the twenty five. The Huskies are gonna
win the Top twelve championship. Dylan Johnson did it?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Do you believe that huskis still one of my all
time favorite players in Husky football history. Is Dylan Johnson's run.
And I don't know if it's just me that feels
this way. Guys and Greg, maybe you feel differently because
you're a former running back. But it was first and
twenty after the holding call on Nick Kleppo. Remember you
and me are on the sideline and we're starting to
(31:32):
get that sinking feeling that oh my god, what have
they done? And then Dylan Johnson says, I got it.
Just give me the ball three times, and I got it.
The guy picked up every single yard after first and twenty.
I just still think one of the more legendary boss
performances by a Husky running back.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
And he was not one hundred percent healthy at that
time either. He was banged up a little bit. He
had been nursing injuries almost all season long. But that's
the perfect scenario because you're running the ball, so the
clock continuing to move right, you're not giving the defensive
chance to stop the clock and get the ball back.
So it was the perfect scenarian as a running back.
You know you can take that personally. I know I
(32:10):
got to put this team on my back and I
got to get these yards right because throwing the ball
is not an option. And he did a fantastic job
and he will forever be one of my favorite players
from that team.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Well, zoom Care Beyond better healthcare support comes from Zoomcare
looking for a better healthcare experience. Zoomcare is twenty neighborhood
clinics throughout the Puget Sound offering urgent, emergency primary care
appointments available to save or next day. No, we're waiting
online or for weeks to get the carry you need
at a Zoomcare dot com. Sounds like everybody's back. Mckelstein
gonna play, I think in the game on Saturday against Oregon.
(32:44):
If you're Jedfish and you Durfy's back, he's good to go. Yeah, well,
we'll see if it matters, but he'll be out there.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Come on, can my guys step up for once?
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Zach Durfy has five sacks in the first half on
Dylan Gabriels off these MVP of the season beginning of
the year.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
What what's your instruction for demand.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
If you're Jeed Fish, are you telling him, hey, I'll
call the plays, you run the plays. Just stick with
the game plan. Or do you say, man, it's your show.
Just go out there and get me yards. I don't
care how you do it. Same thing that his dad
told him. Do what you've always done, let it fly,
have confidence and make some plays.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Go out there and make some plays. If you do
not see a receiver run every single time, run.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Yeah, I think you have to let a kid, especially
you know, kind of be instinctive and instinctual during the game,
because if you give him too much, you're gonna overload
him and he's gonna be out there trying to think
too much, and then he's probably gonna make mistakes. And
you recruited this kid that plays this style for a reason.
So I think the plays that they will give him Softie,
will give him those options to just be instinctive and
(33:46):
take off if you feel like you need to, or
you know, take make the throw. So they'll give him
an offense that's built around what he does well so
that he can just be instinctive.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, if you're not doing that, then what's the point ye, right,
I mean, what's the point of playing a guy. If
you're not gonna let the guy go out there there
and take advantage of his legs and his skill set
and his improvisation skills.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The worst thing you can do is have him out
there thinking too much. So I hope they simplify and
give him a simple game plan and tell him to
go out there and do what he's always done.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
