Speaker 6 (00:59):
Ah.
Speaker 7 (00:59):
There is there's no Wednesday like a Wednesday with Kevin Harlan.
Here we go every single week from now until the
end of the football season. We will be, as the
kids like to say, hashtag blessed with the voice of
football in this country, the moral compass for millions of
people in America every single Sunday and Monday night on
(01:21):
Westwood One from the NFL of CBS, the NFL on Westwood.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One, and for now the NBA on TNT. It's our friend,
Kevin Harlan. How are you.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You're on a here man, listen to you. I'm doing
great because I'm talking to you, buddy. Good to be
out with you.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
God, we have made it. And did I see? Let
me get this right? Is this now forty years in
broadcasting for you?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Forty years NFL? I started when I was fourteen and
got the fourteen I got the I got the Kansas
City Chiefs radio job. But I was twenty four and
uh so, yeah, this is my fortieth year consecutively in
the NFL. By the grace of God, I've not lost
(02:13):
a job. I'm knocking on wood as I say that,
because every Sunday when they listen to me back in
New York, they're probably going, what are we thinking putting
this idiot on the air. But but maybe they don't
listen that close and fuck. I lived. I lived to
work another week. And uh, but I was I was
thinking in Miami on Sunday, I'm putting on that headset
(02:34):
and I was looking at that CBS Mike flag on
the handheld microphone. How how fortunate I am to be
in the business, work for a company like them, and
then Westwood on on Monday, and then get to meet
nice people like you and be on great stations like
kJ R. So I am full of gratitude and thankful
(02:55):
for it. And uh, I will say this, if anybody
enjoys their job, they know what I'm saying. Forty years
it's like a It's like it never even had. It's
like a puff. It's like a in the blink of
an eye, it has gone by. And it is so
hard to really grasp that I've done something for so long.
I've done it longer than I've been married. I've been
married thirty seven years. Wow, and yeah, and then and
(03:18):
then and then this, uh, starting my fortieth year in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I about your wife says it's gone by slow.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well she has. You must talk to her because you
know what she says. She goes, I'll come home on
I'll come home on Tuesday after leaving Saturday morning, and
she said, you know what is amazing is you've talked
NonStop for the last two days doing all these games,
like six plus hours, and you come through the door
(03:47):
and you're still talking, like you're still talking, Like don't
you ever get tired. Let's have it. Let's just quiet,
let's have some quiet, peaceful time. And she's joking, clearly,
but well, it's all it's an inside joke with us,
and and but I just hey, listen, I love my job,
I love the people I work with, like you, and
it's it's an honor to be a part of Uh.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Well, we we are fired up to have you back.
All courtesy of The Emerald Queen Casino. Every single Wednesday,
Kevin Harlan joins us on the radio show.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And I mean, god, I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
I guess we start with Monday Night, the Niners without
Christian McCaffrey, the controversy with Jordan Mason, who apparently was
not supposed to tell the world man he was told
Friday that he was going to start for McCaffrey. But
you know, we're a bunch of Hawk fans up here
thinking hoping, praying the Nighters take a step back, And
it didn't look like that to me on Monday night.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Pal Oh No, they are everything they appeared, and probably stronger.
Trump Williams had just gotten to camp and and Ayuk
is not quite in football shape, and they got some
new guys inside of the line, but they're loaded. Gott
Are they good. I've got him this week in Minnesota
(04:57):
against the Vikings for CBS, and I'm just thinking, I
don't know if there's a better team in pro football
right now than the Niners. And I'm not gonna let
one week dictate, but your eyes a lot of times
don't lie, and what I saw and I don't think
that I don't know how good the Jets are, but
I don't know that there's a weakness with the forty
(05:18):
nine ers. They they appear as strong as that win
was against Rogers on Monday, and I think I think
they're sale now. They're going to take on a pretty
hot team right now in the Vikings, and they think
maybe they've got an answer quarterback at the departure of
Kirk Cousins. They got the Niner backup from last year,
Darnold and Sam now starts from Minnesota. He was the
(05:42):
second rated quarterback dave out of last week in the
entire NFL. And and and they're playing in their home opener,
so that a place will be rocking on Sunday for
the forty nine ers. They they are as good as
I think we all think.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
They are well.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
And then the other issue I guess from the weekend
that we got to bring up because you and I
spoke on Thursday. You're at the booth for the Kansas
City Baltimore game. We can chat about that game in
a second, but I remember asking you on Thursday, what
is Jerry Jones doing with Dak Prescott? And then Sunday morning, boom,
he gave him sixty million dollars guaranteed for four years.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
What do you make of the contract that Jerry Jones
just gave.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Dak highest paid guy in the league. He's got one
win in the playoffs. He has proven to be his
numbers are very comparable to Kirk Cousins, which means it's
they're pretty good numbers, not great numbers, but they're pretty good,
too good. And I don't know, you don't listen, that's
(06:43):
a lot of money for a quarterback. That I don't
know is an upper tier. But listen, I'm looking around
the league and I see the Deshaun Watson money from
Cleveland and some of I think. I think franchises are
so desperate to find that position and at least get
something competent at the quarterback position, and not having that
(07:06):
position as a revolving door, that once they got someone
they think is the person, unlike Kansas City and Baltimore
and in some of these other places where they know
they've got the guy. But in Dallas, I said, I
think they feel like Dak is a championship quarterback. It
is yet to be seen. I don't know. I mean, listen,
(07:28):
They've won a lot of games in the regular season.
They always begin strong when Dak is healthy, and sure
enough they did in Cleveland again this past weekend. Let's
see how they're doing later in the season when a
couple injuries pile up and they're going to count on
him more to be more than just a regular quarterback.
They need him to be special, and there are times
(07:49):
he is, but he's not special like Mahomes. He's not
He's not special like maybe Josh Allen, and you can
pick some other quarterbacks if you will, But I don't know. Oh,
it's a lot of money. It's only four years, but
he's taking sixty MILLI a year.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I don't know if you got a chance, Kevin to
watch much of the pregame stuff on TV or your
network or ESPN or NFL or whatever. But Sunday morning
was bananas. It was totally bananas. With a Dak Prescott
Damn coming down. Tyreek Hill gets arrested outside the Jaguar
Dolphin game. Man, what were your thoughts on everything you
heard coming out of the Tyreek Hill situation and kind
(08:27):
of everybody's reaction to it.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Well, we were down there and that's the game we
had on Sunday, so our crew was responsible for it,
and we had talked to Tyreek in our meetings earlier
in the week, so we had touched base with him,
and he seemed of sound mind and body, and he's
head into the game and his mind probably is elsewhere.
(08:51):
And the video was what it was. You saw the struggle,
you saw the apprehension, you saw the detention and uh.
And then he was later released and he got to
the locker room. He had a couple of his teammates
that were there. Actually, Kaleis Campbell, one of his new teammates,
(09:12):
happened upon the scene, got out of the car. They
told him to go back. He said, I'm a teammate
of this guy. Do you know who that is? I
don't know that the cops did. I'm not sure, But
then they cuffed Kalais Campbell too, So I mean, I
don't know, you know it. This is it's a discussion
far deeper than us talking on a show like this.
(09:34):
But the bottom line was they released him. He was
only charged I think with a couple of minor incidents.
One was reckless driving, which is not minor, but it
was in the grand scheme of things. You know, he
was not arrested. He was he was let go charged
and they'll go to court with these things, clearly. But
(09:55):
you know, he came in that locker room, he got dressed,
he went out in the field, he practiced before the
game warmed up, had over one hundred yards, caught the
biggest play of the game, an eighty yard touchdown pass,
and the team won. So a lot of times you're
graded as a team when you face crisis, you really
don't know what you are. What you can do how
(10:18):
you'll respond until there's crisis in the football world, losing
your starting quarterback like Green Bay's going through right now
with Jordan Love, like the Jets did last year, going
without Aaron Rodgers, and you really don't know. You know
how your team is going to go. And if they
do turn the right way and make the most of
it and galvanize and become even better because of that crisis,
(10:42):
it teaches you something. But a lot of teams go
the other way too. And Miami, with certainly a shaken
locker room and two of their biggest stars shaken themselves,
came out and performed as pros, and they won the
game against a good Jacksonville team and other one to
ozer hosting Buffalo Tomorrow night and Thursday night football. So
(11:03):
when someone said in our head said I was in
the booth and I was just working on my notes,
and someone ha said, hey, Tyreek Hill was just arrested,
I thought they were joking. I go, what do you
mean he was arrested? And then there was nothing. And
then our people were feverishly working to get our sideline
reporter out there and get interviews and followed in our
whole pregame. Our stand up for the game was wiped
(11:26):
out because we had now to deal with that. So
there was a lot going on, but I was proud
of our CBS crew for handling it. We reported what happened,
and I think in an instant like that, that's all
you really can do. You can't make any statement, you
can't make any judgment, you can't until all the facts
are out. That's a good thing for life. Until you
know all the facts, you've just got to report what
you know. And we reported what we knew and it
(11:49):
worked out. But in the subsequent days, we've seen more
of the footage from the body cam and there's a
lot to unpack.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Certainly, Kevin Harlan's with us. You mentioned the guy's name
a couple times. I want to ask you about DeShawn Watson.
What a nightmare for brown fans. I mean, Twitter was
just imploding on Sunday night with the way he played
and all that. People begging for a backup quarterback. The
dead money situation is just catastrophic for them. Is it
time for the Browns just to cut this thing off
(12:19):
and just move on?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I mean, what do you do if you're Cleveland?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Well, I don't know. I mean, Denver did that with
Russell Wilson, and he's killing him on the cap, but
they've only got one more bad year left and then
he's then is done in Denver. But they're paying the price.
They're paying the price they paid the price for all
the draft picks, they're paying the price for the failed experiment,
and they're really paying the price with the cost of
(12:42):
what it was to get him signed. So that thing
has been close to catastrophic and they're just trying to
gather the parts. They bo Nicks might be, might be
the guy. He's the starting rookie quarterback for Sean Payton,
who's making seventeen million years head coach. Uh. You know,
there's a lot there, clearly, but but they they made
(13:05):
the decision to move on, and now Cleveland is stuck
with the quarterback who isn't even close to what he
was in Houston. And there are those around the league
that will tell you, and I've talked with many scouts
about a variety of players and teams, in particular Cleveland
and Deshaun Watson, who say, even when he was down there,
it was more smoke and mirrors. It was like he
(13:27):
he can't read the field. He runs around, he makes
things happen with his legs, which is great. There are
a lot of quarterbacks that do that. But there's no
like like like, there's no semblance of a you know,
a constructive offense. The team was just okay when he
was down there, and and and and they are are
are you know, glad he's gone. And now in the
(13:49):
case of his outside the football lines and outside the stadium,
something else has emerged in the last couple of days,
which just convolutes a horror story. On the field, he
isn't performing, he's not close to what he shot showed
when he was down there throwing the ball in Houston
Cleveland is on for guaranteed money that cannot be reverted,
(14:12):
It cannot be changed. And and you said catastrophic that
this is catastrophic. This is the worst nightmare of every
single owner, GM and head coach in Pro football. These
these quarterbacks command such unbelievable money. It's debilitating money. Really,
if it's not the right guy Kansas City, right guy, Baltimore,
(14:36):
right guy, uh Buffalo, right guy, right on Burrow, right
guy in Cincinnati. We think although he's injured a lot
and their team looked terrible this past weekend. The point
is that Cleveland was was was literally putting two hundred
and forty million, guaranteed million dollars in his pockets and
(14:58):
hoping he was going to keep the team afloat, and
he has been nothing but a major disappointment. They went
through five quarterbacks last year. They wiggled their way into
the playoffs with Joe Flacco, who's not even on the
team anymore, as their fifth choice at quarterback. No, it's
just so bizarre and so unsettling to think and listen.
(15:22):
Cleveland is a great, great sports town. It is an
incredible football town, and they've not won for so long,
and then they've got this now. The owner said, I'm
all in. He pushes chips in the middle. Paid this
guy this money, knowing that all this other stuff, which
by the way, they paid him that money, knowing all
(15:43):
the things outside of football that were going on, and
they thought they were clear and easy. And that's all
behind us. We look, the future is perfect. We're going
to continue to move forward, and then look what happens.
He is a dud on the field. He can't perform,
He's not close to what he was and now here
is another lawsuit coming up. I mean, it just could
(16:03):
not get any worse. It just couldn't.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
My goodness, Yeah, total nightmare.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Hey, Kevin, before you go, I promised him that I
would play this for you and get you to critique it.
Our longtime friend Andy Garcia, who both of us have
known with Westwood One maybe you longer than me, was
on yesterday. He's the voice of NIU football, got to
call the upset over Notre Dame on Saturday. I told
him I would play this clip for you and then
(16:28):
get you to kind of break it down and analyze it.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
All right, So check it out.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
He's lining it up five seconds left.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
Then I you up sixteen fourteen sixty two yarder.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Snap hoole Jeters.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Kick this fucked, its fucked.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
It's fucked.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Big up by, big up by the Huskies has done it.
The Buskies with the biggest upset and IU his story.
They come to South in Indiana and they knock off
the number five team in the country and I you
sixteen Notre Dame fourteen the football gods, we're shining down ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Are you all right?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
So getting a chance to ask you to analyze somebody
else's call is like getting Picasso to take a look
at my finger painting.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Right, Well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I'm not sure about that. Well, Andy is a friend
of you and me, and I've known him for years.
First of all, he's a wonderful human being and such
a modest man and a kind, wonderful person, great spirit.
He's had a lot of tragedy in his life. And
(17:39):
he is a father, a single father of three kids.
His wife was giving uh was pregnant with these twins
who were born, and she was diagnosed with the disease
and later died. And he had the responsibility, the heartbreak
of losing your spouse and then the the you know,
(17:59):
just incredible incomparable job ahead to now be a single
parent for these three young kids. And he loves broadcasting
and has done so many things in our business. And
he's been on that broadcast for I think fifteen years.
He was either doing sideline in pregame or both for
(18:20):
all these years. He's become the play by play voice.
And then he goes in the South Bend with that team,
a heavy underdog against the top ten team in the country,
and they win, and they win on a dramatic you know,
block field goal there at the end to save it,
and the emotion in his voice, I can only imagine
(18:41):
what was coursing through his veins. But when things like
that happen to any coworker, any friend of ours, your listeners,
you and me, I mean, I don't know how it
can't just make your heart so full and so grateful
for what he's going through and happy for him, thrilled
beyond word. Is really just how that moment came to
(19:03):
him in a career that he has chased a lot
of his life. And you just feel that's a that's
a you feel great for the kids in the football program,
the boy, I feel great for that broadcaster and he's
a friend. And he did a terrific job with the call.
You all you always in that call, you knew exactly
what was going on. He got, he got air in
(19:25):
his lungs, He was able to get it out in
such a way that you understood what had happened, and
the emotion in his voice you spoke volumes, and I
am I don't know if I've ever been happier for
a broadcaster to have that kind of moment in his career.
A lot of guys don't get that he did. And
there's no one that deserves it more.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
We've been doing this a long time, man, you and me,
and the one thing that you haven't done.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Is made me cry.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
You just did it right there, honestly, and because you
dead on everything you said, spot on. Nobody deserves it
more than that guy. All right, brother, great stuff. Monday
night football this week? Where are you at this weekend?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
By the way, I'm going to be in Minnesota for
the forty nine Ers and Vikings and then fly to
Philadelphia Sunday night and do that game on Monday. Atlanta, yeh,
Kirk Cousins and Philadelphia will see if if they are
what we thought they were in Brazil, and we'll see
if Atlanta is as hampless as they appeared to be
against Pittsburgh this past week. And Atlanta did not play well.
(20:23):
And there are a lot of people that thought they'd
win that division maybe going away the NFC South, but boy,
they shouldn't show it. And Kirk Cousins did not look great.
It's coming off in Achilles, as is Rogers. This is
a developing story that we need to.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Watch in the league, no question.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
And then we'll see you here next Sunday for Dolphin
Seahawks Man. Great stuff, love it, and we'll talk on
Wednesday and talk about getting together.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Buddy. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Man, look forward to it. You have a great week, Dave,
talk to you next Wednesday.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
You bet Kevin Harlan with us on the radio show.
Great stuff from him. I'll courtesy of the Emerald Queen
Casino every Wednesday right here on ninety three to three KJRF.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Live from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio.
Now back to Softie and Dick Gone your home for
the Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point
three KJR FM. Dropping to throw a pumps throwing for
the end zone for curse well covered, reaches.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Up dust down Germaine.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Curse reaches over Washington the quarterback.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Then the Huskies have taken the lane. Wow, Nolan Washington
was right there with him.
Speaker 9 (21:30):
Then Curse elevating the snatch it down out of the
night sky.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Now the Huskies are back in front of the Apple Cup.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
Remember that year twenty ten Apple Cup and pullman Jake
Locker to Jermaine Curse and then they went out and
beat Nebraska on the Holiday Bowl. There's never been a
six and six Husky football team that was celebrated more
than that one because they ended the streak.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
They had played the bowl game in like eight years.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
In order to get to that point, God before that,
the week before that you needed God's play against cal
That's right. And the week before that, you're three and
and it's a Thursday night against UCLA. You go blackout.
Fans were actually fired up for a three and six team. Yeah,
and you got the huge win. I believe there's a
huge defensive play in that game, but I don't if
I'm remembering correctly to get the four and six, then
(22:14):
you get God's play to get the five and six,
and you get the Apple Cup to get six and six.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
Yeah California, Yeah, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
They were.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
They had lost to Arizona, they had gotten their ass
kicked forty four to fourteen, forty one to nothing in
fifty three to sixteen.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
I mean, that team wasn't going to a ballgame.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Nope at that point in Nope, and then Steve Starkeisan
turned him around. I remember sitting the press box with
Dick Barrett and just oh just X sailing when U
doub won that game because it just kind of brought
us back to a little bit of a sense of normalcy.
I thought in twenty ten, I mean, obviously grand scheme
of things, not a big deal. But when you go, oh,
win twelve two years earlier, and one and eleven right
(22:49):
the year before that, I think it was or was
it two and ten? I lost track getting that Apple
Cup win. And you know what's funny about that. That
was Nolan Washington from Kennedy right, Case and Williams jumped
over the next year at the Clinton Oh, same guy
the hurdle. Nolan Washington gave up the touchdown at Jermain
Curse and Nolan Washington got leaped over by Case and
Williams in the stadium the next year. So I mean, look,
(23:12):
I mean you were asking off the air about, like,
what have we learned about in the Seahawks and the
and the and and the Huskies after two games.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
I mean, I guess for me what I was hoping
to see.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
I was keeping the standards pretty low, Dick for the
Huskies for the first couple of games of the year
because of the offensive line. I was hoping to at
least go out and not see a total disaster offensively
with the offensive line, and that's what I've seen. At
least it's not a complete disaster, you know. I think
the kid from Portland State has played pretty good the center.
I think as a party's played pretty good over at
(23:44):
right tackle.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
I think Enoch has been okay. I mean, it hasn't been.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
A complete cluster on the offensive line so far, and
that's a win, absolute win.
Speaker 10 (23:54):
I think that if the offensive.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Line was going to be a disaster this year, like
bottom two in the Big Ten, like there were some
people that were fearing, I think you would have seen
cracks by now. You would have seen times where you're like,
oh my gosh, like we can't get any consistent run
game going against these guys. How is it going to
be when we play Michigan? And now it's obviously going
(24:17):
to be harder when he get into Big Ten. But
they have performed admirably.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
I think now.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
It also helps when you've got a running back like
Jonah Coleman, and he has been right. The most pleasant
surprise this football season for me and both my teams.
The most pleasant surprise has been Jolan Coleman because I
didn't realize.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
How shifty that guy was.
Speaker 11 (24:36):
I thought he was just the bowling ball that you
were gonna give him the ball and just let him go,
just blow the pins up in front of him.
Speaker 10 (24:42):
You know, and get three or four yards.
Speaker 11 (24:45):
No, he he gets out of the first tackle and
then he misses the second tackle and he runs around
the end for twenty yards and he's been unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Well, look, I'll just say this. I wonder if this Saturday,
and I don't know if it happens is Saturday. Maybe
it happens in two and a half weeks when Michigan
rolls into town. If we're gonna see a situation with
the line and go, oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Right, And I don't think it happens this Saturday.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
No, I don't think it does either.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
But I think it's gonna happen at some point where
they just get overmatched by somebody. I remember they played
Stanford in this stadium. Remember Bishop sank had the run
at the at the buzzer at the end of the
third quarter and he barely got it off against the Cardinal,
that long touchdown run. There's the same year with twenty eleven, right,
because they're doing redoing Osky stadium, and I remember thinking
they can't even function because the offensive line is so terrible.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I think there's gonna be a game this year where they.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Kind of look like that, and it might be against Iowa,
it might be against Michigan. The good news those those
games are later in the year and they can maybe
kind of settle down a little bit. But I just
wonder I'm gonna text you, I'll tweet it out when
that situation happens where we just look at each other
and go, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Here it comes. This is the moment.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
We've been waiting for where they really got to dig
deep offensively because their offensive line is just getting shoved around.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think that's fair.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
And you're gonna face a couple of teams that are
gonna have first, second, third round draft picks on that
defensive front, right, those are the But you're not doing
that this Saturday. Yeah, So you're gonna face Michigan, maybe
maybe Oregon has that, You're gonna Pence, maybe Penn State
has that.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
You're gonna face two or three teams.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
This year where it's probably gonna be tough sledding to
run the football.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
So I saw something against Eastern Michigan on Saturday, and
I wish I would have written down the time of
the game where I don't remember seeing this a lot
from the Husky defense. I think this kind of goes
to show you the job that Steve Belichick has done
so far, where there was a screenplay that was set
up and the offensive line was gonna let their guys
go and block down field, remember what I'm talking about,
(26:36):
and the entire defensive line stopped and backed up, slifted
out like they all identified it right away. And I
wish I knew I would maybe go home to night
watch the game and find it and put it on
Twitter pool of video on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I was like, Wow, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I remember seeing that a lot where all four guys
or five guys on the line identified a screen right
away and just stopped in their tracks and just backed
up waiting for the screen to develop. And it was
really really cool to see against Eastern. I mean, I
think these guys are pretty well coached right now. Right
for what they got to work with, I think they're
pretty well coached. I wonder how much jet Fish has
left for his bag. I'm sure he's got a ton
(27:10):
left in the bag. I'm sure it's been fairly vanilla
in the first two games of the year, but I'm
I'm looking forward to Saturday, man, And I know there
was a party. It's like, I don't know whatever, talking
to a couple of Cougar fans, like, I don't know whatever.
I think by Saturday, the juice will be pretty good
by twelve thirty.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
I hope, so I think it will. I think you're
right about jet Fish. I mean, what percentage of his
playbook has he used? It can't be much more than
thirty twenty gonna say twenty five percent.
Speaker 11 (27:34):
And you know he had to you know, he had
to take bring a little something out to get Giles
Jackson the ball on fourth down.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
He had to show it. He had to roll the guys,
show a little Kahona throwing the ball.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Though, yeah, they.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Could have given the ball to Coleman because if that
doesn't work, if that played at Giles Jackson doesn't work,
we're like, why don't you just give it to one?
That's right, I mean, that's I know. That's what people
are saying. And Ryan Grubb did the same thing h
third and one against Oregon before it was first and
twenty McMillan was a fourth down or third down against
Oregon State third when he went to a doing say
(28:03):
pop it over there, right. I mean, it's just these
guys just they when you have a fifth year quarterback
or a sixth year quarterback, whatever the hell Pedix was
nineteenth year quarterback, you can trust him.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
And so I love that they did that, and I
love they have that kind of trust.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
You're right, it was fourth down because I want him
to pump the ball, right.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
I wanted to pump that Oregon ste say yeah, just
put the punt the damn ball, you know, and instead
I'm trying to remember because maybe it was maybe it
was third down and I wanted to run the.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Ball to milk the clock and then punt the ball.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
I certainly didn't want them to throw the ball in
that situation.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
They had almost more confidence than those guys just throwing
the ball and putting it in a small window than
they did running it. And I just I don't know,
maybe maybe they don't feel that way about where Rodgers yet,
but that ball, I mean, all he's got to do
is just get it a little bit over Giles Jackson's
head and the wind picks it up whatever, he slips
blah blah blah, and you're like, why didn't you run
the ball? And then Eastern's got the ball from their
twenty whatever yard line, they get a touchdown, it's ten
(28:58):
to nothing.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Who knows what would have happened.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
As great as Penis in Rome in that passing game
was last year, I'm wondering what would Ryan Grebb have
done in those short game situations if you'd have had
Jonah Coleman in that backfield. Could you imagine if you
had Jonah Coleman in that backfield last year came and
there were the National champions if you got Jonah Coleman.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
That back Jonah Coleman against Michigan.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Yeah, because they didn't even have Dylan Johnson against Michigan.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
I still think the defense, the safety has played terrible
in that game.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I agree.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
Here's what pisses me off about that game. Now, I'm
a pissed off. He was in a good thing. I'm
all pissed off. Two things. Number One, Sean Lockley are
holding penalty in Super Bowl forty. Roger rosen Hosen holding
penalty against Michigan wiping out big plays that could have
made a huge difference and then crap safety play in
both those games super Bowl forty because Ken Hamlin got
(29:47):
smacked over the head with a stop signed and then
in the National Championship Game because ASA Turner was terrible.
How about ASA freaking Turner plays terrible, that's safety and
then quits and goes in place for Florida that he were.
They watched it on tape. You've seen them, by the way,
is terrible with Florida. He's awful. Screw you for bringing that.
We're gonna break. We got a lot to get to
(30:08):

(31:31):
San Juan Seltzer dot com to enter.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
So what did we.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
Learn from the Seahawks on Sunday against Denver? Kevin Harlan
on with us talking about bo Nicks. We've talked about
bow knicks before. I've never seen a guy throw that
many times and yield fewer yards than what he did
in that game, where the average like three point whatever
yards per attempt.
Speaker 10 (31:52):
He was off three point three I think in the
lead run two point seven.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
I mean, I learned we're gonna be a gang tackling team.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I love that.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
And there was very few yards after the catch in
that game, very very few yards after the catch in
that game.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
And then what else I thought was kind of cool.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
And you mentioned this the Oar day that in the
opening in the first quarter, Ryan Grubb wanted to go
downtown right.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Yes, he wanted to go bombs away. He want to
stretch the defense.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
He couldn't and he couldn't do it because our line
was horrid.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
But the fact that he was willing to do that
and come out from the get go and have that
kind of confidence and in his offense to pull it off.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I love that.
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Man.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
No, I agree, And I mean the first thing that
really jumps out and this will translate, the tackling will
translate because you're going to face another team in New England,
that doesn't have any electric players on offense, like zero
electric players on offense.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
In fact, they got Jalen Polk.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
Okay, well we got our guy.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
They see our guy, they do.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
We can see our guy.
Speaker 11 (32:47):
But I mean, if you just ranked the skill position
players on every team in the NFL, oh, if New
England's not thirty second, they are really close to thirty seconds.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Well I did.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
What we can agree on is they the Seahawks have
way better skill players.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh yes, there's no question.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
And not just the gang tackling you're talking about. Back
to the tackling for a second. These one on one,
open field tackling. There were so many opportunities where Denver
guys could have made a guy miss and had an
extra five or six yards, stuff that we are so
used to seeing under Ken Norton Junior and Clinton Hurt.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
We just did not see that they went down.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Sure, well you're also used to seeing.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Let's face it, Jamal Adams with and that wasn't just
the coordinators totally agree man, And I'm looking at the
I mean, Jackson, you play a lot of fantasy football, right,
You're a fantasy football guy. Da Mario Douglas kJ Osborne
Taye One Thornton. We know who Austin Hooper is, Hunter Henry.
Remember they went out like two years ago and blew
a bunch of money on tight ends.
Speaker 11 (33:48):
There's only one guy that's a fantasy There's only one
guy that's that's a fantasy pick on their entire offense,
and that's Ramondre Stevenson.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
And he's not a quick guy.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, he's good. I mean, he's good.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
He's good.
Speaker 12 (33:58):
I mean, listen, this is not the guy who he
showed flashes of speed. I watched the entire Cincinnati New
England game because I have Stevenson, and he showed flashes
in the game. And if we give him an inch
of space, he's gonna turn it into a few yards.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Yeah, I just I Dick is exactly right. I mean,
they they should be outclassed in.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
The game on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
The only thing that could beat the Seahawks on Sunday
is a phenomenal scheme by Girodmeo on defense. And I
don't know what kind of defensive coordinator slash head coach
he's gonna be. They look good against the Bengals, but
now the word comes out that Joe Burrow may have
a busted wrist again or something's wrong with his wrist right,
he's been dealing with that, so.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
Did he He said that is totally false today.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Well why wouldn't he?
Speaker 7 (34:37):
But I mean, you know what, You're right, I was
hurt in the game and that's why I sucked. Well yeah,
but wouldn't you want to admit that. Wouldn't you want it?
Like if you sucked, Like, wouldn't you want to and
there was something wrong with you? Wouldn't you want to
say there's something instead of like, oh, I just sucked,
there's nothing wrong with I mean, is he on the
injury report? Do they put him on the other report?
I mean, maybe he is. I just think that. You know, guys,
(34:58):
I don't ever remember a quarterback were coming out and
I was horrible because I'm banged up. I mean, you
sound like a schmuck number one when you admit something
like that, and then number two, you're just giving opponents
reason to go after you.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
But they look good. Look give them.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
I thought they'd lose that game. I thought the Patriots
were in trouble with their schedule. I thought it was
one of the reasons why they were gonna go to
Brissette instead of Drake May. They got the Bengals, the Seahawks,
the Jets, the Niners, the Dolphins, the Texans. That's a
hard schedule to start off. And give them credit, man,
they look good defensive.
Speaker 11 (35:26):
And defense was not their problem last year. No offense
was their problem last year. I mean, you take a
look at what they did end of the season. I mean,
here's a stretch of games where they gave up ten ten,
six and by the way, lost all three of them.
Speaker 10 (35:40):
Think about that.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
They gave up twenty six points in three weeks total
and lost all three games. They ended the season losing
seventeen to three to the Jets. This is a team
that is tough to score twenty against, and I think
twenty is gonna be all you need to win this game.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Let's get a break.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Next segment, we're gonna hear from Mike McDonald and DK
Metcalf coming up on ninety three three kJ A RFM on.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
To New England.
Speaker 13 (36:05):
As many football questions as you guys want to ask,
I'm ready to answer them.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
England, they've been really.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Good at stopping the run in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
That showed up Week one is that more about the
scheme or is it the emphasis that they placed on it.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Do you think I think it's that. I think it's both.
Speaker 13 (36:19):
I think it's the players that they have very very
well coached obviously, but they played tough.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
They have good players, they play hard. All the fundamentals
just go right down the list.
Speaker 13 (36:30):
Check check, check, play square, get off blocks, what it
takes to play really good run defense, numbers, back it up,
tape backs it up.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
We had a great challenge ahead of us.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Works out.
Speaker 12 (36:40):
The last two Super Bowl opponents are the first two
opponents this year for the Seahawks.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
What's your memory of those two Super Bowls?
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Oh Man?
Speaker 13 (36:50):
When we won, I was in LA with my sister
and my nephew. That was pretty awesome. When we lost,
I don't remember, but that's.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
A good point. I hadn't thought about that that played
out like that.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Mike.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I always have ties that you're from that area. Just
I know you moved when you were a kid. But
what do you remember just from a sports fan and
doing little Yeah.
Speaker 13 (37:09):
I moved in ninety four, so that was before they,
you know, they went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
I think in ninety six.
Speaker 13 (37:14):
My first kind of football memory is really my dad
took me to the old Foxborough when Drew gutt drafted me,
got like a tour of the stadium and stuff, and
that was pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
But it's a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
What did you think of the game?
Speaker 5 (37:28):
But the DK had and kind of the way they
messed up with him with certain.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I thought DK did a lot of great things.
Speaker 13 (37:33):
I mean, there there was an opportunity for him to
have make a play down the field, but found the
ball you know later in the game. Like I like
I mentioned to that, there's a lot of little things
that he does that creates success for the rest of
the team and that's big.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
So when he needs to keep doing those things, and obviously.
Speaker 13 (37:53):
We got to try to get the ball to him
earlier in the game to you know, get him involved
and get him rocking and rolling. And I'm confident we'll
do that. I thought DK played a really good game.
Speaker 9 (38:02):
You updates on George Fan, ken Walker and Channa.
Speaker 13 (38:06):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna see how those guys play out.
Channel will be out this week. But the rest of
the guys, coming off the last game, you know, we'll
kind of take it day by day.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Here with the reports and everything. But yeah, channel will
be out.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Will they practice today?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Walker and Fan, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Mike and you guys here traveling from west to east coast.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Yeah, you're just a paving what the team has done
or have you studied.
Speaker 13 (38:29):
Bio well without a lot of success going east And
there's been some research into it too, So a lot
of it, A lot of it actually is relation to sleep, believe.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
It or not. So we talked about a team today.
Speaker 13 (38:41):
We had sleep specialists come in, trying to really be
thorough in that approach. But a lot of it's what
with what we've done here over the past. We're gonna
go out on Friday, and some other things going on too,
But yeah, the main gist of it's going to stay
the same.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Kobe's been around the AFC for a while. What do
you see him when you've gone him?
Speaker 13 (38:59):
J Kobe is a really he's a really good quarterback.
I mean, this guy's really He's highly intelligent. He's underratedly mobile.
I mean if you if you let him run, he
can he can move going forward, thinking, delives an accurate ball,
he plays efficiently. He's definitely has a very very strong
grasp of what they're asking him in terms of executing
their system. So they're playing clean football right now. It
(39:21):
doesn't doesn't look, you know, like the new age, like
sexy offenses of you know that you're seeing these days.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
But I'll tell you what it's.
Speaker 13 (39:28):
It's really really effective and comes down to how you
move the football, and they're doing that effectively right now.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
The head coach of the Seahawks there, Mike McDonald, looking
to go two and oh with a win against the Patriots,
coming off their win against the Bengals over the weekend.
I think I told you we got a Survivor pool.
There's like two hundred and sixty people in Survivor. Yeah,
one hundred and thirty out out that they took the Bengals.
Took the Bengals. Man they're done after week number one,
So I don't know. I mean, they might be a
better team than people think. Gerd Mayo might be a
(39:55):
better coach, and people think I got no idea. I
just think this that we were looking at Drake may
potentially he's starting this game, and now it's Jacoby Brissett,
and I think the Patriots have a better chance to
win with that guy than they do the rick.
Speaker 11 (40:05):
I don't think there's any question about it. I mean,
I said the same thing about the Broncos. They should
have started their veteran backup instead of bon Nicks. I mean,
because Jacoby Ristutt's got fifty one touchdowns and twenty three
interceptions in his career.
Speaker 10 (40:16):
I mean that's not bad.
Speaker 11 (40:17):
He's sixty one percent not good, but you know he
takes care of the football. Twenty three interceptions and the
span of eight years of football is not bad. So
I mean, they're gonna keep it low scoring. They're gonna
try to hold Seattle under twenty I don't think they'll
be able to do it unless here's the caveat unless
Ken Walker can't play. Then I think we might be
in a little bit of trouble scoring over twenty points
(40:39):
and we might have to win this thing like seventeen
to sixteen.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
Which I think they can do that. Yeah, I mean,
I think their defense is good enough. I mean, my god,
I mean, you gave up twenty points last week, and
seven of them were solely on the defense or the offense.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I guess his safety's in the field goal.
Speaker 7 (40:52):
And I mean, look, obviously, Jordan Love is not gonna
not pick the ball off at the one yard line
and then just turned down you know, points obviously, but
that that that defense man, the way they flew around,
the way Jordan Love played for me, I mean, Jordan
Love to me looked like an All Pro safety in
the game on Sunday. And I think it was you
that brought up, as somebody said, the depth of the
corners looks like the Lob, and I agree with that,
(41:12):
since the Lob Witherspoon and Reek Woland. I almost sid
to Reek but didn't do it Ree Woland since the
Lob look as good. And then my reaction was, well,
they don't have an Earl Thomas or a Camp soundser Look,
I still think that Cam Chandler is one of the
best strong safeties in the history of football, and Earl
Thomas I can make an argument as a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I know he's Loony Tunes.
Speaker 7 (41:29):
All that stuff, but he was an All Pro best
free safety in football for a long time. Everybody always
said they could run the defense they want to run
because of Earl Thomas. I'm not saying Julian Love is that,
but is this the best secondary they've had since the Lob?
I think it is, and I think they might have
three potential Pro Bowl quality players in the secondary right now.
Speaker 11 (41:49):
No, I agree with that, and I liked what Rayshawn
Jenkins brought too. It's really the first time we got
a chance to see him for any length of time
because he even playing the preseason if at all much
if at all.
Speaker 10 (41:57):
And you know what you said, when we ask you, who's.
Speaker 11 (42:00):
The one player that Mike McDonald's defense is gonna benefit
the most?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
What do he say?
Speaker 10 (42:04):
He said, Julian loved.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
And went out and signed them like a week land.
Speaker 11 (42:07):
In game number one, he absolutely was as good as
anybody on that field.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
How about dk Metcalf coming off the game on Sunday
against the Broncos. Dk Metcalf with the media today at
the vMac.
Speaker 6 (42:20):
The offense stuttered in the first half. Everybody saw it.
Speaker 14 (42:23):
But the way our defense kept responding every time they
had to go out there on the field and get
a big stop, they did it. So nobody wants to
start out the season like we did on offense, but
we're gonna learn from it. And like I said, man,
our defense had had our back end. You know, we're
gonna contain the lean on each other throughout the whole season.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Look like they just put certain on you the whole game.
Speaker 14 (42:40):
I guess what do you think of that matchup? And yeah,
so it's always good to just go against one dB
for the whole game because you know, you get to
study each other. But I mean, Patch Detaine is one
of the best corners in this league, as y'all have seen.
It was a good matchup. He's a you know, a smart,
very patient corner. But you know, just glad to get
to go up against one guy and not have to
switch techniques against multiple corners during the whole game. But
(43:03):
it was a good matchup.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
I was groud play and when you guys did an
offensive degree.
Speaker 14 (43:07):
For the game, he was very honest with us, and
in my opinion, I thought we all needed it. We
just got a block better as an offense and just
eliminate the stupid penalties where you know, we killed drives
on our own and not the defense doing anything to
hurt us. But at the end of the day, it's
all in our hands and we can We're the only
team or only people that can stop ourselves.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
See a lot of Christian as well as this week,
based on what they did with him last week. What
have you seen at his game when he studied.
Speaker 14 (43:33):
He's a very physical corner in press coverage and when
he's off covers, try to keep everything in front of him.
I think it's just his fifth game in the NFL,
so you know we're gonna see how how he holds
up for four quarters. But you know he's a very
good young player.
Speaker 7 (43:48):
Ah, there you have a DK Metcalf Dick fan is
the president of the local chapter of the DK Metcalf Fans. Yeah,
I'll be throwing a party in his honor on Sunday
when DK torch is the Patriot defense for fifteen for
a bucket in two touchdowns.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
Talked about facing Christian Gonzalez.
Speaker 7 (44:03):
There wasn't he the guy that Jalen McMillan ripped the
interception away from in the Organ game in Eugene two
years ago? Remember that down there, that's the same game
Chris Hudson fake the injury huskys one. Yes, Pennix hit TODJ.
Davis with that whole shot suck off for cal I'm
pretty sure it was Gonzalez that McMillan ripped the ball
away from in that game, But just another Premier matchup
(44:24):
man of you know, good really good defender. Maybe not
an elite wide receiver, but an upper echelon wide receiver.
I'm gonna make a prediction right now, this is the
game that DK Metcalf goes off. He loses his mind
on the Patriot defense, A little smoked duck.
Speaker 10 (44:37):
Yeah, I like a little smoke duck. I think I
think he should get a touchdown in this game. I
don't know.
Speaker 11 (44:42):
I don't think this is gonna be high scoring game
at all, So I would not put this the game
that he goes for the you know, nine catches on
one hundred and twenty yards. I think that's down the
road a little bit, maybe like a Miami game, or they.
Speaker 7 (44:52):
Could easily do that and then stall the red zone
against his defense. Trust me, Oh yeah, there's no question.
Speaker 11 (44:57):
I just think, don't you just feel overall this is
just gonna be a slog. Yes, I think it's gonna
be a slog of a game. I think it's gonna
be a lot of punts. I think there's gonna be turnovers.
I think it's just gonna be like a twenty to
sixteen gross Let's just get the hell out.
Speaker 8 (45:14):
Of their slog.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
I go to Titan.
Speaker 7 (45:16):
I told you before this season started, I think the
majority of the Seahawks games will be like that.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I think they will.
Speaker 7 (45:22):
I mean, even with the twenty six to twenty game
that you kind of felt like was in hand last Sunday, Hey,
if Lockett doesn't make that crazy one handed catch and
the Broncos get the ball back, they at least have
a shot.
Speaker 8 (45:31):
I mean, I don't think they would have won the.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
Game game good shot, but I was so comfortable, but
they would have had a shot. I think the majority
of Mike McDonald's games are gonna be like that.
Speaker 8 (45:38):
Absolutely, we're used to that. Yeah, right.
Speaker 7 (45:41):
I mean I'm not saying it's right or I don't
give a damn how you win, right, just freaking win games.
I I just think you that's the style of football
he wants to play, because that's the style of football
all of his teams have played for the most part,
you know, the guys in the NFL, the Hardbob Brothers, whatever.
Speaker 8 (45:56):
I think you'll see a lot of close games.
Speaker 7 (45:58):
I think Seahawk games are gonna be rating great average
for the networks because every single one of them will
be a fourth quarter game. And I mean, like, with
five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. All right,
let's do this. Mike Florio gonna join us. The latest
on Deshaun Watson, The latest on Tyreek Hill, Mike Florio

Seven minute drive under center, pretty for the Niners from
the five of the Jets second down goal gets the
same handlef Heaston over the right tackle, touchdown book, a
tackle of the goal line, and Karen's off that buddy
in for a five yard San Francisco touchdown.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Run.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Now the Niners build their lead on a.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Long drive, the first one of the second.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Half twenty two seven.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
Ah.
Speaker 7 (00:59):
There is there's no Wednesday like a Wednesday with Kevin Harlan.
Here we go every single week from now until the
end of the football season. We will be, as the
kids like to say, hashtag blessed with the voice of
football in this country, the moral compass for millions of
people in America every single Sunday and Monday night on
(01:21):
Westwood One from the NFL of CBS, the NFL on Westwood.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
One, and for now the NBA on TNT. It's our friend,
Kevin Harlan. How are you.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
You're on a here man, listen to you. I'm doing
great because I'm talking to you, buddy. Good to be
out with you.
Speaker 7 (01:43):
God, we have made it. And did I see? Let
me get this right? Is this now forty years in
broadcasting for you?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Forty years NFL? I started when I was fourteen and
got the fourteen I got the I got the Kansas
City Chiefs radio job. But I was twenty four and
uh so, yeah, this is my fortieth year consecutively in
the NFL. By the grace of God, I've not lost
(02:13):
a job. I'm knocking on wood as I say that,
because every Sunday when they listen to me back in
New York, they're probably going, what are we thinking putting
this idiot on the air. But but maybe they don't
listen that close and fuck. I lived. I lived to
work another week. And uh, but I was I was
thinking in Miami on Sunday, I'm putting on that headset
(02:34):
and I was looking at that CBS Mike flag on
the handheld microphone. How how fortunate I am to be
in the business, work for a company like them, and
then Westwood on on Monday, and then get to meet
nice people like you and be on great stations like
kJ R. So I am full of gratitude and thankful
(02:55):
for it. And uh, I will say this, if anybody
enjoys their job, they know what I'm saying. Forty years
it's like a It's like it never even had. It's
like a puff. It's like a in the blink of
an eye, it has gone by. And it is so
hard to really grasp that I've done something for so long.
I've done it longer than I've been married. I've been
married thirty seven years. Wow, and yeah, and then and
(03:18):
then and then this, uh, starting my fortieth year in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
I about your wife says it's gone by slow.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well she has. You must talk to her because you
know what she says. She goes, I'll come home on
I'll come home on Tuesday after leaving Saturday morning, and
she said, you know what is amazing is you've talked
NonStop for the last two days doing all these games,
like six plus hours, and you come through the door
(03:47):
and you're still talking, like you're still talking, Like don't
you ever get tired. Let's have it. Let's just quiet,
let's have some quiet, peaceful time. And she's joking, clearly,
but well, it's all it's an inside joke with us,
and and but I just hey, listen, I love my job,
I love the people I work with, like you, and
it's it's an honor to be a part of Uh.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
Well, we we are fired up to have you back.
All courtesy of The Emerald Queen Casino. Every single Wednesday,
Kevin Harlan joins us on the radio show.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And I mean, god, I don't even know where to start.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
I guess we start with Monday Night, the Niners without
Christian McCaffrey, the controversy with Jordan Mason, who apparently was
not supposed to tell the world man he was told
Friday that he was going to start for McCaffrey. But
you know, we're a bunch of Hawk fans up here
thinking hoping, praying the Nighters take a step back, And
it didn't look like that to me on Monday night.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Pal Oh No, they are everything they appeared, and probably stronger.
Trump Williams had just gotten to camp and and Ayuk
is not quite in football shape, and they got some
new guys inside of the line, but they're loaded. Gott
Are they good. I've got him this week in Minnesota
(04:57):
against the Vikings for CBS, and I'm just thinking, I
don't know if there's a better team in pro football
right now than the Niners. And I'm not gonna let
one week dictate, but your eyes a lot of times
don't lie, and what I saw and I don't think
that I don't know how good the Jets are, but
I don't know that there's a weakness with the forty
(05:18):
nine ers. They they appear as strong as that win
was against Rogers on Monday, and I think I think
they're sale now. They're going to take on a pretty
hot team right now in the Vikings, and they think
maybe they've got an answer quarterback at the departure of
Kirk Cousins. They got the Niner backup from last year,
Darnold and Sam now starts from Minnesota. He was the
(05:42):
second rated quarterback dave out of last week in the
entire NFL. And and and they're playing in their home opener,
so that a place will be rocking on Sunday for
the forty nine ers. They they are as good as
I think we all think.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
They are well.
Speaker 7 (05:59):
And then the other issue I guess from the weekend
that we got to bring up because you and I
spoke on Thursday. You're at the booth for the Kansas
City Baltimore game. We can chat about that game in
a second, but I remember asking you on Thursday, what
is Jerry Jones doing with Dak Prescott? And then Sunday morning, boom,
he gave him sixty million dollars guaranteed for four years.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
What do you make of the contract that Jerry Jones
just gave.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Dak highest paid guy in the league. He's got one
win in the playoffs. He has proven to be his
numbers are very comparable to Kirk Cousins, which means it's
they're pretty good numbers, not great numbers, but they're pretty good,
too good. And I don't know, you don't listen, that's
(06:43):
a lot of money for a quarterback. That I don't
know is an upper tier. But listen, I'm looking around
the league and I see the Deshaun Watson money from
Cleveland and some of I think. I think franchises are
so desperate to find that position and at least get
something competent at the quarterback position, and not having that
(07:06):
position as a revolving door, that once they got someone
they think is the person, unlike Kansas City and Baltimore
and in some of these other places where they know
they've got the guy. But in Dallas, I said, I
think they feel like Dak is a championship quarterback. It
is yet to be seen. I don't know. I mean, listen,
(07:28):
They've won a lot of games in the regular season.
They always begin strong when Dak is healthy, and sure
enough they did in Cleveland again this past weekend. Let's
see how they're doing later in the season when a
couple injuries pile up and they're going to count on
him more to be more than just a regular quarterback.
They need him to be special, and there are times
(07:49):
he is, but he's not special like Mahomes. He's not
He's not special like maybe Josh Allen, and you can
pick some other quarterbacks if you will, But I don't know. Oh,
it's a lot of money. It's only four years, but
he's taking sixty MILLI a year.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I don't know if you got a chance, Kevin to
watch much of the pregame stuff on TV or your
network or ESPN or NFL or whatever. But Sunday morning
was bananas. It was totally bananas. With a Dak Prescott
Damn coming down. Tyreek Hill gets arrested outside the Jaguar
Dolphin game. Man, what were your thoughts on everything you
heard coming out of the Tyreek Hill situation and kind
(08:27):
of everybody's reaction to it.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Well, we were down there and that's the game we
had on Sunday, so our crew was responsible for it,
and we had talked to Tyreek in our meetings earlier
in the week, so we had touched base with him,
and he seemed of sound mind and body, and he's
head into the game and his mind probably is elsewhere.
(08:51):
And the video was what it was. You saw the struggle,
you saw the apprehension, you saw the detention and uh.
And then he was later released and he got to
the locker room. He had a couple of his teammates
that were there. Actually, Kaleis Campbell, one of his new teammates,
(09:12):
happened upon the scene, got out of the car. They
told him to go back. He said, I'm a teammate
of this guy. Do you know who that is? I
don't know that the cops did. I'm not sure, But
then they cuffed Kalais Campbell too, So I mean, I
don't know, you know it. This is it's a discussion
far deeper than us talking on a show like this.
(09:34):
But the bottom line was they released him. He was
only charged I think with a couple of minor incidents.
One was reckless driving, which is not minor, but it
was in the grand scheme of things. You know, he
was not arrested. He was he was let go charged
and they'll go to court with these things, clearly. But
(09:55):
you know, he came in that locker room, he got dressed,
he went out in the field, he practiced before the
game warmed up, had over one hundred yards, caught the
biggest play of the game, an eighty yard touchdown pass,
and the team won. So a lot of times you're
graded as a team when you face crisis, you really
don't know what you are. What you can do how
(10:18):
you'll respond until there's crisis in the football world, losing
your starting quarterback like Green Bay's going through right now
with Jordan Love, like the Jets did last year, going
without Aaron Rodgers, and you really don't know. You know
how your team is going to go. And if they
do turn the right way and make the most of
it and galvanize and become even better because of that crisis,
(10:42):
it teaches you something. But a lot of teams go
the other way too. And Miami, with certainly a shaken
locker room and two of their biggest stars shaken themselves,
came out and performed as pros, and they won the
game against a good Jacksonville team and other one to
ozer hosting Buffalo Tomorrow night and Thursday night football. So
(11:03):
when someone said in our head said I was in
the booth and I was just working on my notes,
and someone ha said, hey, Tyreek Hill was just arrested,
I thought they were joking. I go, what do you
mean he was arrested? And then there was nothing. And
then our people were feverishly working to get our sideline
reporter out there and get interviews and followed in our
whole pregame. Our stand up for the game was wiped
(11:26):
out because we had now to deal with that. So
there was a lot going on, but I was proud
of our CBS crew for handling it. We reported what happened,
and I think in an instant like that, that's all
you really can do. You can't make any statement, you
can't make any judgment, you can't until all the facts
are out. That's a good thing for life. Until you
know all the facts, you've just got to report what
you know. And we reported what we knew and it
(11:49):
worked out. But in the subsequent days, we've seen more
of the footage from the body cam and there's a
lot to unpack.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Certainly, Kevin Harlan's with us. You mentioned the guy's name
a couple times. I want to ask you about DeShawn Watson.
What a nightmare for brown fans. I mean, Twitter was
just imploding on Sunday night with the way he played
and all that. People begging for a backup quarterback. The
dead money situation is just catastrophic for them. Is it
time for the Browns just to cut this thing off
(12:19):
and just move on?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I mean, what do you do if you're Cleveland?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Well, I don't know. I mean, Denver did that with
Russell Wilson, and he's killing him on the cap, but
they've only got one more bad year left and then
he's then is done in Denver. But they're paying the price.
They're paying the price they paid the price for all
the draft picks, they're paying the price for the failed experiment,
and they're really paying the price with the cost of
(12:42):
what it was to get him signed. So that thing
has been close to catastrophic and they're just trying to
gather the parts. They bo Nicks might be, might be
the guy. He's the starting rookie quarterback for Sean Payton,
who's making seventeen million years head coach. Uh. You know,
there's a lot there, clearly, but but they they made
(13:05):
the decision to move on, and now Cleveland is stuck
with the quarterback who isn't even close to what he
was in Houston. And there are those around the league
that will tell you, and I've talked with many scouts
about a variety of players and teams, in particular Cleveland
and Deshaun Watson, who say, even when he was down there,
it was more smoke and mirrors. It was like he
(13:27):
he can't read the field. He runs around, he makes
things happen with his legs, which is great. There are
a lot of quarterbacks that do that. But there's no
like like like, there's no semblance of a you know,
a constructive offense. The team was just okay when he
was down there, and and and and they are are
are you know, glad he's gone. And now in the
(13:49):
case of his outside the football lines and outside the stadium,
something else has emerged in the last couple of days,
which just convolutes a horror story. On the field, he
isn't performing, he's not close to what he shot showed
when he was down there throwing the ball in Houston
Cleveland is on for guaranteed money that cannot be reverted,
(14:12):
It cannot be changed. And and you said catastrophic that
this is catastrophic. This is the worst nightmare of every
single owner, GM and head coach in Pro football. These
these quarterbacks command such unbelievable money. It's debilitating money. Really,
if it's not the right guy Kansas City, right guy, Baltimore,
(14:36):
right guy, uh Buffalo, right guy, right on Burrow, right
guy in Cincinnati. We think although he's injured a lot
and their team looked terrible this past weekend. The point
is that Cleveland was was was literally putting two hundred
and forty million, guaranteed million dollars in his pockets and
(14:58):
hoping he was going to keep the team afloat, and
he has been nothing but a major disappointment. They went
through five quarterbacks last year. They wiggled their way into
the playoffs with Joe Flacco, who's not even on the
team anymore, as their fifth choice at quarterback. No, it's
just so bizarre and so unsettling to think and listen.
(15:22):
Cleveland is a great, great sports town. It is an
incredible football town, and they've not won for so long,
and then they've got this now. The owner said, I'm
all in. He pushes chips in the middle. Paid this
guy this money, knowing that all this other stuff, which
by the way, they paid him that money, knowing all
(15:43):
the things outside of football that were going on, and
they thought they were clear and easy. And that's all
behind us. We look, the future is perfect. We're going
to continue to move forward, and then look what happens.
He is a dud on the field. He can't perform,
He's not close to what he was and now here
is another lawsuit coming up. I mean, it just could
(16:03):
not get any worse. It just couldn't.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
My goodness, Yeah, total nightmare.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
Hey, Kevin, before you go, I promised him that I
would play this for you and get you to critique it.
Our longtime friend Andy Garcia, who both of us have
known with Westwood One maybe you longer than me, was
on yesterday. He's the voice of NIU football, got to
call the upset over Notre Dame on Saturday. I told
him I would play this clip for you and then
(16:28):
get you to kind of break it down and analyze it.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
All right, So check it out.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
He's lining it up five seconds left.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
Then I you up sixteen fourteen sixty two yarder.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Snap hoole Jeters.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Kick this fucked, its fucked.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
It's fucked.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Big up by, big up by the Huskies has done it.
The Buskies with the biggest upset and IU his story.
They come to South in Indiana and they knock off
the number five team in the country and I you
sixteen Notre Dame fourteen the football gods, we're shining down ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Are you all right?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
So getting a chance to ask you to analyze somebody
else's call is like getting Picasso to take a look
at my finger painting.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Right, Well, I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I'm not sure about that. Well, Andy is a friend
of you and me, and I've known him for years.
First of all, he's a wonderful human being and such
a modest man and a kind, wonderful person, great spirit.
He's had a lot of tragedy in his life. And
(17:39):
he is a father, a single father of three kids.
His wife was giving uh was pregnant with these twins
who were born, and she was diagnosed with the disease
and later died. And he had the responsibility, the heartbreak
of losing your spouse and then the the you know,
(17:59):
just incredible incomparable job ahead to now be a single
parent for these three young kids. And he loves broadcasting
and has done so many things in our business. And
he's been on that broadcast for I think fifteen years.
He was either doing sideline in pregame or both for
(18:20):
all these years. He's become the play by play voice.
And then he goes in the South Bend with that team,
a heavy underdog against the top ten team in the country,
and they win, and they win on a dramatic you know,
block field goal there at the end to save it,
and the emotion in his voice, I can only imagine
(18:41):
what was coursing through his veins. But when things like
that happen to any coworker, any friend of ours, your listeners,
you and me, I mean, I don't know how it
can't just make your heart so full and so grateful
for what he's going through and happy for him, thrilled
beyond word. Is really just how that moment came to
(19:03):
him in a career that he has chased a lot
of his life. And you just feel that's a that's
a you feel great for the kids in the football program,
the boy, I feel great for that broadcaster and he's
a friend. And he did a terrific job with the call.
You all you always in that call, you knew exactly
what was going on. He got, he got air in
(19:25):
his lungs, He was able to get it out in
such a way that you understood what had happened, and
the emotion in his voice you spoke volumes, and I
am I don't know if I've ever been happier for
a broadcaster to have that kind of moment in his career.
A lot of guys don't get that he did. And
there's no one that deserves it more.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
You know what.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
We've been doing this a long time, man, you and me,
and the one thing that you haven't done.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Is made me cry.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
You just did it right there, honestly, and because you
dead on everything you said, spot on. Nobody deserves it
more than that guy. All right, brother, great stuff. Monday
night football this week? Where are you at this weekend?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
By the way, I'm going to be in Minnesota for
the forty nine Ers and Vikings and then fly to
Philadelphia Sunday night and do that game on Monday. Atlanta, yeh,
Kirk Cousins and Philadelphia will see if if they are
what we thought they were in Brazil, and we'll see
if Atlanta is as hampless as they appeared to be
against Pittsburgh this past week. And Atlanta did not play well.
(20:23):
And there are a lot of people that thought they'd
win that division maybe going away the NFC South, but boy,
they shouldn't show it. And Kirk Cousins did not look great.
It's coming off in Achilles, as is Rogers. This is
a developing story that we need to.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Watch in the league, no question.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
And then we'll see you here next Sunday for Dolphin
Seahawks Man. Great stuff, love it, and we'll talk on
Wednesday and talk about getting together.
Speaker 3 (20:46):

They had played the bowl game in like eight years.
Speaker 11 (21:53):
In order to get to that point, God before that,
the week before that you needed God's play against cal
That's right. And the week before that, you're three and
and it's a Thursday night against UCLA. You go blackout.
Fans were actually fired up for a three and six team. Yeah,
and you got the huge win. I believe there's a
huge defensive play in that game, but I don't if
I'm remembering correctly to get the four and six, then
(22:14):
you get God's play to get the five and six,
and you get the Apple Cup to get six and six.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
Yeah California, Yeah, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
They were.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
They had lost to Arizona, they had gotten their ass
kicked forty four to fourteen, forty one to nothing in
fifty three to sixteen.
Speaker 8 (22:27):
I mean, that team wasn't going to a ballgame.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Nope at that point in Nope, and then Steve Starkeisan
turned him around. I remember sitting the press box with
Dick Barrett and just oh just X sailing when U
doub won that game because it just kind of brought
us back to a little bit of a sense of normalcy.
I thought in twenty ten, I mean, obviously grand scheme
of things, not a big deal. But when you go, oh,
win twelve two years earlier, and one and eleven right
(22:49):
the year before that, I think it was or was
it two and ten? I lost track getting that Apple
Cup win. And you know what's funny about that. That
was Nolan Washington from Kennedy right, Case and Williams jumped
over the next year at the Clinton Oh, same guy
the hurdle. Nolan Washington gave up the touchdown at Jermain
Curse and Nolan Washington got leaped over by Case and
Williams in the stadium the next year. So I mean, look,
(23:12):
I mean you were asking off the air about, like,
what have we learned about in the Seahawks and the
and the and and the Huskies after two games.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
I mean, I guess for me what I was hoping
to see.
Speaker 7 (23:23):
I was keeping the standards pretty low, Dick for the
Huskies for the first couple of games of the year
because of the offensive line. I was hoping to at
least go out and not see a total disaster offensively
with the offensive line, and that's what I've seen. At
least it's not a complete disaster, you know. I think
the kid from Portland State has played pretty good the center.
I think as a party's played pretty good over at
(23:44):
right tackle.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
I think Enoch has been okay. I mean, it hasn't been.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
A complete cluster on the offensive line so far, and
that's a win, absolute win.
Speaker 10 (23:54):
I think that if the offensive.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Line was going to be a disaster this year, like
bottom two in the Big Ten, like there were some
people that were fearing, I think you would have seen
cracks by now. You would have seen times where you're like,
oh my gosh, like we can't get any consistent run
game going against these guys. How is it going to
be when we play Michigan? And now it's obviously going
(24:17):
to be harder when he get into Big Ten. But
they have performed admirably.
Speaker 10 (24:22):
I think now.
Speaker 11 (24:22):
It also helps when you've got a running back like
Jonah Coleman, and he has been right. The most pleasant
surprise this football season for me and both my teams.
The most pleasant surprise has been Jolan Coleman because I
didn't realize.
Speaker 10 (24:35):
How shifty that guy was.
Speaker 11 (24:36):
I thought he was just the bowling ball that you
were gonna give him the ball and just let him go,
just blow the pins up in front of him.
Speaker 10 (24:42):
You know, and get three or four yards.
Speaker 11 (24:45):
No, he he gets out of the first tackle and
then he misses the second tackle and he runs around
the end for twenty yards and he's been unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
Well, look, I'll just say this. I wonder if this Saturday,
and I don't know if it happens is Saturday. Maybe
it happens in two and a half weeks when Michigan
rolls into town. If we're gonna see a situation with
the line and go, oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
Right, And I don't think it happens this Saturday.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
No, I don't think it does either.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
But I think it's gonna happen at some point where
they just get overmatched by somebody. I remember they played
Stanford in this stadium. Remember Bishop sank had the run
at the at the buzzer at the end of the
third quarter and he barely got it off against the Cardinal,
that long touchdown run. There's the same year with twenty eleven, right,
because they're doing redoing Osky stadium, and I remember thinking
they can't even function because the offensive line is so terrible.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I think there's gonna be a game this year where they.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Kind of look like that, and it might be against Iowa,
it might be against Michigan. The good news those those
games are later in the year and they can maybe
kind of settle down a little bit. But I just
wonder I'm gonna text you, I'll tweet it out when
that situation happens where we just look at each other
and go, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Here it comes. This is the moment.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
We've been waiting for where they really got to dig
deep offensively because their offensive line is just getting shoved around.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I think that's fair.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
And you're gonna face a couple of teams that are
gonna have first, second, third round draft picks on that
defensive front, right, those are the But you're not doing
that this Saturday. Yeah, So you're gonna face Michigan, maybe
maybe Oregon has that, You're gonna Pence, maybe Penn State
has that.
Speaker 10 (26:08):
You're gonna face two or three teams.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
This year where it's probably gonna be tough sledding to
run the football.
Speaker 7 (26:14):
So I saw something against Eastern Michigan on Saturday, and
I wish I would have written down the time of
the game where I don't remember seeing this a lot
from the Husky defense. I think this kind of goes
to show you the job that Steve Belichick has done
so far, where there was a screenplay that was set
up and the offensive line was gonna let their guys
go and block down field, remember what I'm talking about,
(26:36):
and the entire defensive line stopped and backed up, slifted
out like they all identified it right away. And I
wish I knew I would maybe go home to night
watch the game and find it and put it on
Twitter pool of video on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
I was like, Wow, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I remember seeing that a lot where all four guys
or five guys on the line identified a screen right
away and just stopped in their tracks and just backed
up waiting for the screen to develop. And it was
really really cool to see against Eastern. I mean, I
think these guys are pretty well coached right now. Right
for what they got to work with, I think they're
pretty well coached. I wonder how much jet Fish has
left for his bag. I'm sure he's got a ton
(27:10):
left in the bag. I'm sure it's been fairly vanilla
in the first two games of the year, but I'm
I'm looking forward to Saturday, man, And I know there
was a party. It's like, I don't know whatever, talking
to a couple of Cougar fans, like, I don't know whatever.
I think by Saturday, the juice will be pretty good
by twelve thirty.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
I hope, so I think it will. I think you're
right about jet Fish. I mean, what percentage of his
playbook has he used? It can't be much more than
thirty twenty gonna say twenty five percent.
Speaker 11 (27:34):
And you know he had to you know, he had
to take bring a little something out to get Giles
Jackson the ball on fourth down.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
He had to show it. He had to roll the guys,
show a little Kahona throwing the ball.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Though, yeah, they.
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Could have given the ball to Coleman because if that
doesn't work, if that played at Giles Jackson doesn't work,
we're like, why don't you just give it to one?
That's right, I mean, that's I know. That's what people
are saying. And Ryan Grubb did the same thing h
third and one against Oregon before it was first and
twenty McMillan was a fourth down or third down against
Oregon State third when he went to a doing say
(28:03):
pop it over there, right. I mean, it's just these
guys just they when you have a fifth year quarterback
or a sixth year quarterback, whatever the hell Pedix was
nineteenth year quarterback, you can trust him.
Speaker 8 (28:14):
And so I love that they did that, and I
love they have that kind of trust.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
You're right, it was fourth down because I want him
to pump the ball, right.
Speaker 11 (28:21):
I wanted to pump that Oregon ste say yeah, just
put the punt the damn ball, you know, and instead
I'm trying to remember because maybe it was maybe it
was third down and I wanted to run the.
Speaker 10 (28:30):
Ball to milk the clock and then punt the ball.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
I certainly didn't want them to throw the ball in
that situation.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
They had almost more confidence than those guys just throwing
the ball and putting it in a small window than
they did running it. And I just I don't know,
maybe maybe they don't feel that way about where Rodgers yet,
but that ball, I mean, all he's got to do
is just get it a little bit over Giles Jackson's
head and the wind picks it up whatever, he slips
blah blah blah, and you're like, why didn't you run
the ball? And then Eastern's got the ball from their
twenty whatever yard line, they get a touchdown, it's ten
(28:58):
to nothing.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Who knows what would have happened.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
As great as Penis in Rome in that passing game
was last year, I'm wondering what would Ryan Grebb have
done in those short game situations if you'd have had
Jonah Coleman in that backfield. Could you imagine if you
had Jonah Coleman in that backfield last year came and
there were the National champions if you got Jonah Coleman.
Speaker 8 (29:18):
That back Jonah Coleman against Michigan.
Speaker 10 (29:20):
Yeah, because they didn't even have Dylan Johnson against Michigan.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
I still think the defense, the safety has played terrible
in that game.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I agree.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
Here's what pisses me off about that game. Now, I'm
a pissed off. He was in a good thing. I'm
all pissed off. Two things. Number One, Sean Lockley are
holding penalty in Super Bowl forty. Roger rosen Hosen holding
penalty against Michigan wiping out big plays that could have
made a huge difference and then crap safety play in
both those games super Bowl forty because Ken Hamlin got
(29:47):
smacked over the head with a stop signed and then
in the National Championship Game because ASA Turner was terrible.
How about ASA freaking Turner plays terrible, that's safety and
then quits and goes in place for Florida that he were.
They watched it on tape. You've seen them, by the way,
is terrible with Florida. He's awful. Screw you for bringing that.
We're gonna break. We got a lot to get to
(30:08):
you from Jimmie's on ninety three three kJ RFM, My.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now

Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point three
kJ r FM.

Mark Hopkins is our latest qualifier. Jump on the web
(31:31):
San Juan Seltzer dot com to enter.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
So what did we.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
Learn from the Seahawks on Sunday against Denver? Kevin Harlan
on with us talking about bo Nicks. We've talked about
bow knicks before. I've never seen a guy throw that
many times and yield fewer yards than what he did
in that game, where the average like three point whatever
yards per attempt.
Speaker 10 (31:52):
He was off three point three I think in the
lead run two point seven.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
I mean, I learned we're gonna be a gang tackling team.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I love that.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
And there was very few yards after the catch in
that game, very very few yards after the catch in
that game.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
And then what else I thought was kind of cool.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
And you mentioned this the Oar day that in the
opening in the first quarter, Ryan Grubb wanted to go
downtown right.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
Yes, he wanted to go bombs away. He want to
stretch the defense.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
He couldn't and he couldn't do it because our line
was horrid.
Speaker 7 (32:18):
But the fact that he was willing to do that
and come out from the get go and have that
kind of confidence and in his offense to pull it off.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
I love that.
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Man.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
No, I agree, And I mean the first thing that
really jumps out and this will translate, the tackling will
translate because you're going to face another team in New England,
that doesn't have any electric players on offense, like zero
electric players on offense.
Speaker 8 (32:40):
In fact, they got Jalen Polk.
Speaker 10 (32:43):
Okay, well we got our guy.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
They see our guy, they do.
Speaker 10 (32:47):
We can see our guy.
Speaker 11 (32:47):
But I mean, if you just ranked the skill position
players on every team in the NFL, oh, if New
England's not thirty second, they are really close to thirty seconds.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Well I did.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
What we can agree on is they the Seahawks have
way better skill players.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh yes, there's no question.
Speaker 11 (33:03):
And not just the gang tackling you're talking about. Back
to the tackling for a second. These one on one,
open field tackling. There were so many opportunities where Denver
guys could have made a guy miss and had an
extra five or six yards, stuff that we are so
used to seeing under Ken Norton Junior and Clinton Hurt.
Speaker 10 (33:23):
We just did not see that they went down.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Sure, well you're also used to seeing.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Let's face it, Jamal Adams with and that wasn't just
the coordinators totally agree man, And I'm looking at the
I mean, Jackson, you play a lot of fantasy football, right,
You're a fantasy football guy. Da Mario Douglas kJ Osborne
Taye One Thornton. We know who Austin Hooper is, Hunter Henry.
Remember they went out like two years ago and blew
a bunch of money on tight ends.
Speaker 11 (33:48):
There's only one guy that's a fantasy There's only one
guy that's that's a fantasy pick on their entire offense,
and that's Ramondre Stevenson.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
And he's not a quick guy.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, he's good. I mean, he's good.
Speaker 10 (33:57):
He's good.
Speaker 12 (33:58):
I mean, listen, this is not the guy who he
showed flashes of speed. I watched the entire Cincinnati New
England game because I have Stevenson, and he showed flashes
in the game. And if we give him an inch
of space, he's gonna turn it into a few yards.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Yeah, I just I Dick is exactly right. I mean,
they they should be outclassed in.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
The game on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
The only thing that could beat the Seahawks on Sunday
is a phenomenal scheme by Girodmeo on defense. And I
don't know what kind of defensive coordinator slash head coach
he's gonna be. They look good against the Bengals, but
now the word comes out that Joe Burrow may have
a busted wrist again or something's wrong with his wrist right,
he's been dealing with that, so.
Speaker 10 (34:33):
Did he He said that is totally false today.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Well why wouldn't he?
Speaker 7 (34:37):
But I mean, you know what, You're right, I was
hurt in the game and that's why I sucked. Well yeah,
but wouldn't you want to admit that. Wouldn't you want it?
Like if you sucked, Like, wouldn't you want to and
there was something wrong with you? Wouldn't you want to
say there's something instead of like, oh, I just sucked,
there's nothing wrong with I mean, is he on the
injury report? Do they put him on the other report?
I mean, maybe he is. I just think that. You know, guys,
(34:58):
I don't ever remember a quarterback were coming out and
I was horrible because I'm banged up. I mean, you
sound like a schmuck number one when you admit something
like that, and then number two, you're just giving opponents
reason to go after you.
Speaker 8 (35:07):
But they look good. Look give them.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
I thought they'd lose that game. I thought the Patriots
were in trouble with their schedule. I thought it was
one of the reasons why they were gonna go to
Brissette instead of Drake May. They got the Bengals, the Seahawks,
the Jets, the Niners, the Dolphins, the Texans. That's a
hard schedule to start off. And give them credit, man,
they look good defensive.
Speaker 11 (35:26):
And defense was not their problem last year. No offense
was their problem last year. I mean, you take a
look at what they did end of the season. I mean,
here's a stretch of games where they gave up ten ten,
six and by the way, lost all three of them.
Speaker 10 (35:40):
Think about that.
Speaker 11 (35:41):
They gave up twenty six points in three weeks total
and lost all three games. They ended the season losing
seventeen to three to the Jets. This is a team
that is tough to score twenty against, and I think
twenty is gonna be all you need to win this game.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Let's get a break.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Next segment, we're gonna hear from Mike McDonald and DK
Metcalf coming up on ninety three three kJ A RFM on.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
To New England.
Speaker 13 (36:05):
As many football questions as you guys want to ask,
I'm ready to answer them.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
England, they've been really.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Good at stopping the run in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
That showed up Week one is that more about the
scheme or is it the emphasis that they placed on it.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Do you think I think it's that. I think it's both.
Speaker 13 (36:19):
I think it's the players that they have very very
well coached obviously, but they played tough.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
They have good players, they play hard. All the fundamentals
just go right down the list.
Speaker 13 (36:30):
Check check, check, play square, get off blocks, what it
takes to play really good run defense, numbers, back it up,
tape backs it up.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
We had a great challenge ahead of us.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Works out.
Speaker 12 (36:40):
The last two Super Bowl opponents are the first two
opponents this year for the Seahawks.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
What's your memory of those two Super Bowls?
Speaker 6 (36:48):
Oh Man?
Speaker 13 (36:50):
When we won, I was in LA with my sister
and my nephew. That was pretty awesome. When we lost,
I don't remember, but that's.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
A good point. I hadn't thought about that that played
out like that.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Mike.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I always have ties that you're from that area. Just
I know you moved when you were a kid. But
what do you remember just from a sports fan and
doing little Yeah.
Speaker 13 (37:09):
I moved in ninety four, so that was before they,
you know, they went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
I think in ninety six.
Speaker 13 (37:14):
My first kind of football memory is really my dad
took me to the old Foxborough when Drew gutt drafted me,
got like a tour of the stadium and stuff, and
that was pretty cool.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
But it's a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
What did you think of the game?
Speaker 5 (37:28):
But the DK had and kind of the way they
messed up with him with certain.
Speaker 6 (37:31):
I thought DK did a lot of great things.
Speaker 13 (37:33):
I mean, there there was an opportunity for him to
have make a play down the field, but found the
ball you know later in the game. Like I like
I mentioned to that, there's a lot of little things
that he does that creates success for the rest of
the team and that's big.
Speaker 6 (37:50):
So when he needs to keep doing those things, and obviously.
Speaker 13 (37:53):
We got to try to get the ball to him
earlier in the game to you know, get him involved
and get him rocking and rolling. And I'm confident we'll
do that. I thought DK played a really good game.
Speaker 9 (38:02):
You updates on George Fan, ken Walker and Channa.
Speaker 13 (38:06):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna see how those guys play out.
Channel will be out this week. But the rest of
the guys, coming off the last game, you know, we'll
kind of take it day by day.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Here with the reports and everything. But yeah, channel will
be out.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
Will they practice today?
Speaker 6 (38:19):
Walker and Fan, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Mike and you guys here traveling from west to east coast.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Yeah, you're just a paving what the team has done
or have you studied.
Speaker 13 (38:29):
Bio well without a lot of success going east And
there's been some research into it too, So a lot
of it, A lot of it actually is relation to sleep, believe.
Speaker 6 (38:38):
It or not. So we talked about a team today.
Speaker 13 (38:41):
We had sleep specialists come in, trying to really be
thorough in that approach. But a lot of it's what
with what we've done here over the past. We're gonna
go out on Friday, and some other things going on too,
But yeah, the main gist of it's going to stay
the same.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
Kobe's been around the AFC for a while. What do
you see him when you've gone him?
Speaker 13 (38:59):
J Kobe is a really he's a really good quarterback.
I mean, this guy's really He's highly intelligent. He's underratedly mobile.
I mean if you if you let him run, he
can he can move going forward, thinking, delives an accurate ball,
he plays efficiently. He's definitely has a very very strong
grasp of what they're asking him in terms of executing
their system. So they're playing clean football right now. It
(39:21):
doesn't doesn't look, you know, like the new age, like
sexy offenses of you know that you're seeing these days.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
But I'll tell you what it's.
Speaker 13 (39:28):
It's really really effective and comes down to how you
move the football, and they're doing that effectively right now.
Speaker 7 (39:34):
The head coach of the Seahawks there, Mike McDonald, looking
to go two and oh with a win against the Patriots,
coming off their win against the Bengals over the weekend.
I think I told you we got a Survivor pool.
There's like two hundred and sixty people in Survivor. Yeah,
one hundred and thirty out out that they took the Bengals.
Took the Bengals. Man they're done after week number one,
So I don't know. I mean, they might be a
better team than people think. Gerd Mayo might be a
(39:55):
better coach, and people think I got no idea. I
just think this that we were looking at Drake may
potentially he's starting this game, and now it's Jacoby Brissett,
and I think the Patriots have a better chance to
win with that guy than they do the rick.
Speaker 11 (40:05):
I don't think there's any question about it. I mean,
I said the same thing about the Broncos. They should
have started their veteran backup instead of bon Nicks. I mean,
because Jacoby Ristutt's got fifty one touchdowns and twenty three
interceptions in his career.
Speaker 10 (40:16):
I mean that's not bad.
Speaker 11 (40:17):
He's sixty one percent not good, but you know he
takes care of the football. Twenty three interceptions and the
span of eight years of football is not bad. So
I mean, they're gonna keep it low scoring. They're gonna
try to hold Seattle under twenty I don't think they'll
be able to do it unless here's the caveat unless
Ken Walker can't play. Then I think we might be
in a little bit of trouble scoring over twenty points
(40:39):
and we might have to win this thing like seventeen
to sixteen.
Speaker 7 (40:41):
Which I think they can do that. Yeah, I mean,
I think their defense is good enough. I mean, my god,
I mean, you gave up twenty points last week, and
seven of them were solely on the defense or the offense.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
I guess his safety's in the field goal.
Speaker 7 (40:52):
And I mean, look, obviously, Jordan Love is not gonna
not pick the ball off at the one yard line
and then just turned down you know, points obviously, but
that that that defense man, the way they flew around,
the way Jordan Love played for me, I mean, Jordan
Love to me looked like an All Pro safety in
the game on Sunday. And I think it was you
that brought up, as somebody said, the depth of the
corners looks like the Lob, and I agree with that,
(41:12):
since the Lob Witherspoon and Reek Woland. I almost sid
to Reek but didn't do it Ree Woland since the
Lob look as good. And then my reaction was, well,
they don't have an Earl Thomas or a Camp soundser Look,
I still think that Cam Chandler is one of the
best strong safeties in the history of football, and Earl
Thomas I can make an argument as a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
I know he's Loony Tunes.
Speaker 7 (41:29):
All that stuff, but he was an All Pro best
free safety in football for a long time. Everybody always
said they could run the defense they want to run
because of Earl Thomas. I'm not saying Julian Love is that,
but is this the best secondary they've had since the Lob?
I think it is, and I think they might have
three potential Pro Bowl quality players in the secondary right now.
Speaker 11 (41:49):
No, I agree with that, and I liked what Rayshawn
Jenkins brought too. It's really the first time we got
a chance to see him for any length of time
because he even playing the preseason if at all much
if at all.
Speaker 10 (41:57):
And you know what you said, when we ask you, who's.
Speaker 11 (42:00):
The one player that Mike McDonald's defense is gonna benefit
the most?
Speaker 3 (42:03):
What do he say?
Speaker 10 (42:04):
He said, Julian loved.
Speaker 8 (42:05):
And went out and signed them like a week land.
Speaker 11 (42:07):
In game number one, he absolutely was as good as
anybody on that field.
Speaker 7 (42:12):
How about dk Metcalf coming off the game on Sunday
against the Broncos. Dk Metcalf with the media today at
the vMac.
Speaker 6 (42:20):
The offense stuttered in the first half. Everybody saw it.
Speaker 14 (42:23):
But the way our defense kept responding every time they
had to go out there on the field and get
a big stop, they did it. So nobody wants to
start out the season like we did on offense, but
we're gonna learn from it. And like I said, man,
our defense had had our back end. You know, we're
gonna contain the lean on each other throughout the whole season.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Look like they just put certain on you the whole game.
Speaker 14 (42:40):
I guess what do you think of that matchup? And yeah,
so it's always good to just go against one dB
for the whole game because you know, you get to
study each other. But I mean, Patch Detaine is one
of the best corners in this league, as y'all have seen.
It was a good matchup. He's a you know, a smart,
very patient corner. But you know, just glad to get
to go up against one guy and not have to
switch techniques against multiple corners during the whole game. But
(43:03):
it was a good matchup.
Speaker 3 (43:04):
I was groud play and when you guys did an
offensive degree.
Speaker 14 (43:07):
For the game, he was very honest with us, and
in my opinion, I thought we all needed it. We
just got a block better as an offense and just
eliminate the stupid penalties where you know, we killed drives
on our own and not the defense doing anything to
hurt us. But at the end of the day, it's
all in our hands and we can We're the only
team or only people that can stop ourselves.
Speaker 5 (43:27):
See a lot of Christian as well as this week,
based on what they did with him last week. What
have you seen at his game when he studied.
Speaker 14 (43:33):
He's a very physical corner in press coverage and when
he's off covers, try to keep everything in front of him.
I think it's just his fifth game in the NFL,
so you know we're gonna see how how he holds
up for four quarters. But you know he's a very
good young player.
Speaker 7 (43:48):
Ah, there you have a DK Metcalf Dick fan is
the president of the local chapter of the DK Metcalf Fans. Yeah,
I'll be throwing a party in his honor on Sunday
when DK torch is the Patriot defense for fifteen for
a bucket in two touchdowns.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
Talked about facing Christian Gonzalez.
Speaker 7 (44:03):
There wasn't he the guy that Jalen McMillan ripped the
interception away from in the Organ game in Eugene two
years ago? Remember that down there, that's the same game
Chris Hudson fake the injury huskys one. Yes, Pennix hit TODJ.
Davis with that whole shot suck off for cal I'm
pretty sure it was Gonzalez that McMillan ripped the ball
away from in that game, But just another Premier matchup
(44:24):
man of you know, good really good defender. Maybe not
an elite wide receiver, but an upper echelon wide receiver.
I'm gonna make a prediction right now, this is the
game that DK Metcalf goes off. He loses his mind
on the Patriot defense, A little smoked duck.
Speaker 10 (44:37):
Yeah, I like a little smoke duck. I think I
think he should get a touchdown in this game. I
don't know.
Speaker 11 (44:42):
I don't think this is gonna be high scoring game
at all, So I would not put this the game
that he goes for the you know, nine catches on
one hundred and twenty yards. I think that's down the
road a little bit, maybe like a Miami game, or they.
Speaker 7 (44:52):
Could easily do that and then stall the red zone
against his defense. Trust me, Oh yeah, there's no question.
Speaker 11 (44:57):
I just think, don't you just feel overall this is
just gonna be a slog. Yes, I think it's gonna
be a slog of a game. I think it's gonna
be a lot of punts. I think there's gonna be turnovers.
I think it's just gonna be like a twenty to
sixteen gross Let's just get the hell out.
Speaker 8 (45:14):
Of their slog.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
I go to Titan.
Speaker 7 (45:16):
I told you before this season started, I think the
majority of the Seahawks games will be like that.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
I think they will.
Speaker 7 (45:22):
I mean, even with the twenty six to twenty game
that you kind of felt like was in hand last Sunday, Hey,
if Lockett doesn't make that crazy one handed catch and
the Broncos get the ball back, they at least have
a shot.
Speaker 8 (45:31):
I mean, I don't think they would have won the.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
Game game good shot, but I was so comfortable, but
they would have had a shot. I think the majority
of Mike McDonald's games are gonna be like that.
Speaker 8 (45:38):
Absolutely, we're used to that. Yeah, right.
Speaker 7 (45:41):
I mean I'm not saying it's right or I don't
give a damn how you win, right, just freaking win games.
I I just think you that's the style of football
he wants to play, because that's the style of football
all of his teams have played for the most part,
you know, the guys in the NFL, the Hardbob Brothers, whatever.
Speaker 8 (45:56):
I think you'll see a lot of close games.
Speaker 7 (45:58):
I think Seahawk games are gonna be rating great average
for the networks because every single one of them will
be a fourth quarter game. And I mean, like, with
five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. All right,
let's do this. Mike Florio gonna join us. The latest
