Speaker 1 (00:00):
There we go, your home for the NFL and the
twelfth Man, broadly frost browed COR's life. Choose to chill
Mondays with Sudan as we count you down to Monday
night football tonight in five fifty for the touchdown on
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR F M.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
All right, we're back here on a Monday afternoon from
the Emerald Queen Casino Sportsbook. Come on down watch the
Eagles in Atlanta five point fifteen. You know the Falcons
are one injury away from seeing Michael Pennix play quarterback.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
For that, let me ask you a small question.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes, not only anybody really kind of wishes any real
serious ill will on anybody, but would you be okay
with like a little hamstring pole or like some just
shoulder tightness or maybe like stiffness in the hip or
whatever that would keep him on the bench for a
couple of drives so we can see.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Pen And I absolutely think it's gonna happen at some point.
I totally just don't see Kirk making it through seventeen.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well, let me ask you a question, why do you
think the Falcons drafted the guy? Because if they don't
need that reason, which brings up the question why did
they sign the guy to that contract in the first place. Well,
we're here at the Emerald Queens Softian Dick with you
from the Casino Sportsbook. Jackson's back in the studio, and man,
we got a big show. First of all, Will Rogers
is gonna join us at four twenty eight today. I
(01:22):
don't know if he spoke after the game on Saturday
or not, to be totally honest with you, Yeah, so
we're gonna get some thoughts from Will on on on
the way the Apple Cup went, the way that fourth
down play went, the way the last couple that drives went.
You know, Washington football was kind of a kind of
a bleep show on offense for the final few drives
of that game on Saturday, not just that fourth down
(01:43):
play and not just that last possession. So I just
feel like there's a lot to go over from the
Apple Cup, and I feel like, to me, it's number
one at top of mind and it's not even close.
I want to seriously like congratulate the Cougars on their win,
and we like the Bustians chops on the air a
little bit, you know, kind of go after Jessman because
she she's kind of an easy target. I mean, she
gets a little worked up about stuff. She's kind of
(02:05):
like me in that regard. So I feel like I'm
pushing the easy button when I'm going after her. But
I just kind of feel like, Look, Dick, you knew
that I was concerned about this game. I've been telling
you for months on the air. I was concerned about
the Apple Cup. Not that you weren't concerned about it,
but I was. I liked, Well, first of all, there's
a there's a couple of things. Number One, I think
Wazu got to break facing the Huskies in week three
(02:26):
versus week twelve.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Agreed.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I think you dub is going to be a better
team in week twelve than they are in week three.
Their offensive line certainly should be better by week twelve
than they are in week three. Brand new system, fifty
one new guys. I just think naturally this team should
get better as the year goes by. So getting to
face them early, I thought it was a win for Wazoo.
Number Two, the passion, the emotion, the anger, the frustration.
Never in the history of the Apple Cup has there
(02:48):
been a football team that was facing the Huskies feeling
like they were wronged off the field. Yeah, there's always
been hatred towards you Dub for a lot of reasons.
But how you add the element of, hey, you wronged
us off the field, like you know, like I said
the other day, you know, we've been their daddy and
now they want us to be their mommy too, and
(03:10):
you know let them kind of hang.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Around take care of them.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, so that that was a factor for them. And
I just remember looking at Greg Lewis during the game
on Saturday. I think it may have been like near halftime, thinking, man,
it really feels like you Dub is relying on talent
right now and Washington State is relying on heart and
drive in this game, and they played great. I mean,
Johnny Matteer is a badass, no question. I mean, I'm
(03:35):
a Heisman voter. Ian's a Heisman voter, Hume Melwins a
Heisman voter. I could absolutely see putting Johnny Matteer on
my Heisman belt. You know, he's got to get a
little better with the with the arm, for sure. And
I gotta tell you, man, late in that game, in
the fourth quarter, I think Washington State almost blew it
and let you Dub back in that game by throwing
the football. I could not believe how much Wazoo was
(03:57):
throwing the football on those two final drives. When Prisack
had that near pick, which I thought was the right
call by the way to overturn it, and then Thatteus
Dixon had the interception on the home run ball that
was thrown over the receiver's heads. It's interesting how these
things balance on the edge of a knife. If U
Dub scores on that drive and they win the game,
(04:18):
I think we're sitting here going what the hell where
the Cougar coaches do it? Throwing the ball in the
fourth quarter, So instead we're talking about let's face it.
I mean, I think all of us agree. We can
debate this all you want, but I just thought it
was a mistake. It was a brutal mistake by Jed
Fish to run that play. And look, everyone's got their
pet peeves when it comes to sports. Everyone has their
(04:40):
pet peeves when it comes to life. And one of
my biggest pet peeves when it comes to football is
why coaches on fourth and one or third and short
run out a shotgun. I don't get it. I don't
understand it. I've never understood it and I never will
understand it. When you are asking an offensive line, which,
by the way, especially this offensive line that.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Is very very raw and very very young.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
When it comes to how much football they've played together,
you're gonna ask your offensive line to hold their blocks
for a running back to get what is essentially six
and a half yards versus a yard and a half.
I said it on Twitter before the play was even snapped.
Get out a shotgun, don't overthink this. Get Will Rogers
under center, which he's been doing a lot this year,
(05:26):
a lot more than he was when he was in
Mississippi State. Turn the ball and give it to number
one and let's go. And coaches overthinking these situations constantly.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
It just kills me.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And it kills me even more than it happened in
a rivalry game that you probably should have won first
and goal from the nine.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You should have won that game whenever.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The win probability chart that you like to talk about
and bring up, I don't know what it was, but
it had to be pretty damn high. So that's number
one for me, and then number two the play call itself.
I just going back and watching the play and I'm
watching offensive linemen getting blown off the ball. All right,
I'm watching the right side of the Husky offensive line
(06:08):
getting blown off the ball. There were not enough players
to pick up the blockers number one, number two, the
offensive lines getting hammered to death on that play, and
then number three. It's one of those plays where it
just doesn't make any sense from the second the ball
is snapped and you can't call consecutive timeouts in college
football anymore, Dick, by the way. But the fact that
(06:31):
we're on the air and we're even discussing the idea
of when Jedfish saw that alignment by Wazoo, which he
said today he had no problem with. I don't understand
where that comes from, but he said today he had
no problem with it. I would even think about and
Hugh talked about this taking a delay and just saying,
you know what, this ain't gonna work right. As much
as it would suck to lose five yards and have
(06:52):
to go forth and go from the six yard line,
your odds of resetting, getting something else in there and
running that from the six versus that play from the one.
I feel like in some alternate universe, the odds would
have been better. And then look, after watching the tape,
Jedfish today just clearly saying it was the right play call.
And this is one of those moments where most fans
and most media people would disagree with him, and this
(07:15):
is gonna be the narrative for a while. I don't
think there's anything against Northwestern. I don't think there's much
against Rutgers that you can do to put that horrible
taste out of people's mouths. Do you want to overcome
what happened on Saturday at Lumenfield against Washington State, then
you have to go out at least and do what
you thought you had a chance to do, which is
(07:36):
go five and one with that one loss coming to
Michigan instead of Washington State.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You beat the Wolverines.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
In three weeks from now, when you're a five and
one football team, I think people can start to move on.
But right now, the narrative about the coach and the
narrative about the football team is that play, whether you
like it or not.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Went back and watched it today to go through the
pain one more time.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, and what what got what got me? In the
last two minutes of that game is how similar to
Super Bowl forty nine it felt like.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The curse catch, the juggling catch, was the Giles Jackson
catch over the top. That was the paddles to the chest.
Oh my god, we're back in this thing, right. Then
they give the ball to Jonah Coleman and he just
bursts forward like just absolute monster to the nine yard line.
You got all the moment in the world. That was
the Marshawn Lynch run down to the one yard line,
(08:31):
and then you just stall and you have weird timeouts
at weird times. You had all this momentum and you
took it away from yourself with those timeouts. And I
just don't understand those timeouts are taken one even after
an incomplete pass when the clock was stopped, give yourself
the opportunity that if you don't get in that, you
still have multiple timeouts where you could potentially get the
(08:53):
ball back right in good field position to try to
try to win that game. But as far as the
play call, I mean, you had Demon Williams in the
game earlier in that drive.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
If you want it on first down right, if you wanted.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
To run the option I'm fine running the option, but
get the option quarterback in.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
There and run it to the wide side.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
If you wanted to do that, you don't have a
quarterback and great passing quarterback.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
They hadn't thought he had another good game through the air.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
You don't have a quarterback that has what negative three
hundred and thirty nine yards rushing in his career, and
that's a stat Look it up. Run the option play,
particularly to the short side. I rarely have seen a
play where literally one step after the snap, I was like,
oh my god, what is this? Like you you knew
(09:45):
it wasn't going to work from the moment he took
the first step to the right, You're like, what you
just saw nothing but white jerseys everywhere on a third
of the field over on that far side.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, but you combine all.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of that with don't forget by the way that sacks
come off rushing yards and cow right, that's exactly right,
and that's why well yeah, but that's the reason for
that big number. I mean, he had some he had
some decent runs in the game. He did four halftime
and a seventeen years. He's not your best option rends, yes,
but I wouldn't run that play with Demon Williams either.
I went I went running with either one of them,
(10:19):
because I just I just think the numbers just don't
add up. I mean, you're getting the sideline is a
defender for Washington State. It's like a twelfth defend, right,
and you were giving Washington State a twelfth defender when
you run the ball that way.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
That's why I said running to the white side, right.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I didn't say run, I said don't run it at all, okay,
but you have plenty of room if you wanted to
run to the white side. The thing, the second thing
is these penalties that came at such horrendous times. I mean,
end of the first half, you go three and out,
then you're d allowed sixty two yards and two plays
in under a minute.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Then you get a defensive holding call, and then.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
After a sack, you allow a third and twenty scramble
for a touchdown. I mean Thaddeus Dixon and Jordan Shaw,
they one of those two, if not both, has to
have outside contained and Mattier just bounces it outside easy
as you please for that touchdown. And then the very
first drive of the second half of the koops in
a seventeen sixteen game. You force them again into third
(11:16):
and twenty, you sack Matier and you get a defensive
holding call on Jordan Shaw that cost you seven points.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
That penalty was a seven point penalty.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
So all these different all these different things leading up
to that last play never needed app We never needed
to be in that situation. This was a team that
had more passing yards, had more total yards, had more
time of possession. This was the better team on the field,
but they they were not the more disciplined team on
the field well, and they were not the team that
(11:46):
closed the game out.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It kind of reminds me of the twenty twenty four
Mariners in the fact that they never should have been
in that position to begin with, the even having it
be a close game, that's right, I mean, they just shot.
And when you've got all these new guys and Jordan
Shaw is a new guy, I mean Lot two had
a you know, some some penalties. You had a bunch
of offsides on the final series of the game for Wazoo,
where even if there was a chance for a guy
to have a bad snap that was taken off, when
(12:09):
you had two consecutive off sides, I think and then
just for giggles, a unsportsman like penalty on Javon Parker.
It's like it just just nailed the nuts. I mean,
come on, let's go from thirteen flags to sixteen flags.
So it was just it was a horrible, horrible day
when it came to discipline. It was a bad day
for coaching decisions. I thought the way they handled the
end of the first half from an offensive perspective, I mean,
(12:31):
you get the ball back with like four and a
half minutes to go after Washington State misses the field goal,
Will Rodgers goes for seventeen yards and then boom, He's
off the field for the end of the half and
is never to be seen from again until the second half.
I mean, look, I got no problem rotating guys like
I got no problem bringing in a demon Woy.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I have no problem spelling Jonah Coleman.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
There was even a point in time which I thought
was really cool actually, when Jeed Fish had Jonah Coleman
and Adam Mouhammad together at the same time on the field.
I looked at Great, I said, hey, that's pretty awesome
having both those guys play together. And there might be
some times where Will plays with dem On Williams, to
be totally honest with you, but it just felt like
it was out of sorts, right. It just felt like
the timing was off. It was kind of discombobulated, like
(13:14):
the players weren't on the same page with the coaches
as far as the plan on Saturday. We're gonna do
this here, We're gonna do that there. When a guy's hot,
you got to kind of shove your thoughts and just
go with the hot hand.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And look, I mean, coaches have bad days.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Players have bad days, blocking, players have bad days catching, throwing,
all that stuff. Coaches have bad days calm plays. I mean,
we saw that, you know, a ton with Shane Waldron
a year ago, and now you're seeing Ryan Grubb have
a great day when it mattered in the heat of
the moment against the Patriots yesterday in overtime. I mean,
how much did Ryan grubb stock rise yesterday after that thing?
So I just think you chuck this up to a
(13:50):
bad day for the coaching staff, a bad day for
a young football team still trying to find themselves, a
bad day for discipline, and I hope that they're better
for this, you know, I mean, this should be the
most penalties the Huskies have the entire season.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Sixteen is a lot, and if.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They have more than sixteen, I guarantee you whatever game
that comes in, they're gonna lose. But I don't think
we can have any revisionist history here. We said this
on the year Friday. If you're not good enough to
beat Washington State, what makes you think you're good enough
to go to New Jersey and beat Rutgers in two
weeks from now? I mean, all of a sudden, that
game is a pain in the ass. Indiana looks like
they might be okay going to the Rolls Bowl and
hammering Ucla. I think Ucla is terrible, but still Indiana
(14:30):
thumped them. So that was fork in the Road game
number one. We talked about this two weeks ago. We're
not gonna change now. Rutgers is the next. They should
be able to handle Northwestern at home and be three
and one. But it feels like the idea of getting
this team to Bowl eligibility, Dick as the year goes
on is just gonna be a slog.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It's gonna be a slog. Yeah, all year long, together.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Of the style of games you're gonna be playing and
I wish this game was a little more of a
slog and not such a half thrown pass, halfy fest. Dave,
you know how much I like to control the clock
and run the ball. And if you'd have told me
on Friday, if you have said, hey, Dick, I don't
know how this game is gonna go, but I'm gonna
guarantee you one thing. Here's a stat. Jonah Coleman's gonna
have fourteen carries. You know what I would have said,
Oh crap, Yeah, we're in trouble. Yeah, they gave number
(15:14):
one the ball fourteen times. That cannot happen the rest
of the year. It just can't happen. Because when he
was in there, he was they were keying on him,
and he was still carrying guys. He still busted out
runs and receptions for fifteen twenty yards.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, yeah, he had the one big long run and
outside of that didn't do a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It's that's the way brunning backs had their stats sometimes
with the big runs. I just gotta keeping I thought
Wazu did a pretty good job bottling Jonah combed up
as the day went on.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I just think there were two problems with the game.
There were there were three problems with the game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Number one, you had a chance to win the game
on fourth down and you had the wrong call. Okay, period,
end of story. Everything that we talked about, the penalties,
the lack of execution. You had a chance to win
the game with one play on fourth and goal from
the one, and you made the wrong call. That's the
biggest reason why I think the Huskies lost their game.
Number two, their offensive line just did not have a
(16:14):
good day, could not protect for as good as the
Cougar offensive line was protecting Johnny Matteer, the Husky offensive line.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
We said this, and we said it, and we said it.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
There's gonna be a game where we look at the
offensive line and think, okay, there it is that they're
not playing great. They're getting kind of pushed around. I
thought Saturday was that day. And then number three, the
penalties obviously just killed these guys. I mean, like you said,
that holding call on Jordan Shaw, what was it third
and eighteen?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Is that what it was? Third and eighteen? It was
thirty eighteen, third and eighteen from.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The minus twenty six yard line, and they got a
holding call. And three plays later the next play, Parker
goes for thirty seven, but Tier goes for eleven, and
then this Meredith kid that came out of nowhere, for
God's sakes, he gets a touchdown. So you go from
getting him off the field on third and eighteen and
probably getting pretty good field position.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
To three plays later you're down twenty four to six. Day.
I mean it's unreal, right, I mean, just.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You're in these advantageous positions that you want to be
in defensively, and you say, you know what, I don't
want that gift.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Let him off of you take it.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I don't want that you you take it, you know
him take.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Your fast and the matear. I mean, Matier did a
great job.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
He was awesome. He was you know, he was good.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
He was what we feared he would be with his
legs right and in the worst possible time for rash.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
All right, So uh thoughts four nine, four or five one?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I guess we'll have Linda Conan with four forty five today,
but we can read some texts on the air. Will
Rogers is gonna join us at four twenty eight. Stephens
SUSA at four fun with audio three forty five. So
Hawks win, Huskies lose.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
We'll get to all of it. More thoughts on the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Did did Gino Smith take another big step in earning
another big contract with the Seahawks yesterday?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Let's discuss it. Coming up on ninety three three kJ RFM.
Now back to frost brewed cors Light.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Choose to chill Mondays with Sathi and Dip on your
home for the twelfth Man and the NFL Sports Radio
ninety three point three kjr FL.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
All right, boys and girls, back here at the Emerald
Queen Casino Sportsbook. We got football Atlanta, Philadelphia five point fifteen.
Steven sus are gonna hop on at four o'clock or
so and talk about the but the butt them heartbeat
that this baseball team has. I think they have a heartbeat. You,
you guys may think they've already.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Passed on that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Stephen Susan will jorn it's at four o'clock today and
give us some thoughts on the ms.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Will Rodgers will join us as well.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Uh coming up from the Huskiest courtesy a Motley Futures
at four to twenty eight this afternoon, UH Geno Smith
and the Seahawks go to New England on a day
where they're starting what is in essence a third string
right tackle in stone Forsyth. They're missing Kenny Walker, they
have no running game to speak of whatsoever, and they
(18:53):
put the game in the hands of Geno Smith and
he goes thirty three of forty four three twenty seven
a touchdown, toclude another and for the six times since
the start of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Game winning drive.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I was impressed by what I saw from the Seahawks
because I thought there was a lot going wrong for
them offensively in that game yesterday. And if you go
back and look at the drive chart in the second half,
they had I think six consecutive drives guys where they.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Scored three total points.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They could not do anything offensively in the second half
of that game. And the fact that they were able
to hang in there against those guys and make the
adjustments when it mattered on the road against a fired
up Patriot team. Malcolm Butler, you know, ringing the bell,
doing all that crap bringing that team back, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That was a pumped up crowd yesterday.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I don't ever want people to apologize for road wins
in the National Football League, especially against a team like
that that usually plays pretty good defense. So the question
is how impressed were we by the Seahawks yesterday And
did Geno Smith do enough to take another step towards
deserving a contract extension when the year is over.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Well, you don't win a lot of games in this
league rushing at two point four yards per carre.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Nope, And they did that. And Geno Smith.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Thirty three of forty four with four drops and a
spike at the end of the game.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Right, there's five incompletions right then, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Fifty two dropbacks total for Geno Smith, zero turnover worthy
plays and an eighty seven percent expected completion in percentage
I mean that is that was one of the finest
games we've ever seen Geno Smith play. And but the
trend continues of Gino playing like this in close games.
In the fourth quarter in overtime, he was eleven to fourteen,
(20:36):
one hundred and three yards in the fourth quarter in overtime.
That's US ninety seven passer rating. If you go back
to the beginning of last year, now he's got ten
touchdowns and one interception in the fourth quarter or overtime.
That's a one oh five passer rating that is number
two in the NFL. Yeah, and he's starting to get
some national buzz or some national names, national analysts out
there going, why isn't anybody talking about Geno Smith?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I think a lot of people are talking about Smith
just because he'll have two or three games like this
and then he'll disappear for three or four games. They'll
either not rely on him to throw the ball or
he'll just have a mediocre performance. But that's because that's
what Geno Smith is. Right, We've said all along. Last
year he was a dead average quarterback in the NFL.
The year before that, he was an above average quarterback
(21:19):
in the NFL. Now with Ryan Grubb, I think we're
expecting him to be at least an above average quarterback
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And guess what if he's an above average quarterback in
the NFL, Dick, He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
He's just not because that's suicide.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Well, because they don't have an ants to get rid
of the above average quarterback in the National Football League
would be stupid. And did you hear what Mike McDonald
said yesterday about him? If you look at what Mike
McDonald said about Geno Smith. That's not a guy that's
ready to let Geno Smith walk when his contract is
up year, right, But he's but he's talking about a
guy who's gonna want a new deal when the year's over.
(21:55):
He's already confirmed he approached the Seahawks about a new contract.
And I think Geno, I'll go answer my own question.
I think he did take a step towards getting a
new contract from the Seahawks. And if Ryan Grubb makes
him an above average quarterback, then he deserves it. I mean,
my question would be, is Ryan Grubb gonna be here
in a year from now? Because there is a serious
lack of quality candidates in the NFL to be head
coaches from this next wave of people. I told her
(22:17):
the Staft there's only one offensive coordinator from the last
like two or two or three years that's still with
the same team, and it's Ben Johnson because he turned
the commander's job down. If you can even remotely call
plays in the NFL, you're getting a head coaching job.
I mean, Shane Waldron got an O C job based
on nothing, just being based on hanging around Shane Waldron
and the difference in yesterday's game. Look at the targets.
(22:37):
Thirty targets for DK Metcalf and Jackson Smith and Jigba.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
That is what you do.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
If you're Ryan Grubb and you have these freaking stallions,
you need to let them run and getting the ball
to those guys thirty times. Man, my god, how many
people have been begging for that since these guys showed up.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
All right, Uh, Seahawks get her done. They're two and oh.
They're coming home on Sunday against the Dolphins. What do
you think that stadium is going to be like on
Sunday afternoon when the Seahawks come home looking to go
three and oh under rookie head coach Mike McDonald loud,
fired up your stuff scale one to ten.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah seven, yeah seven, Maybe as loud as it's been
in a long time.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Maybe kind of trending towards getting back to where it
used to be back in the day. I think it's
going to be very loud. I think Seahawks fans know
there's a guy in Skyler Thompson coming in a quarterback.
We can make this guy's life miserable. I think flying
twenty five miles away and winning a football game is very,
very hard to do. And I see a Miami football
team that's beaten down right now. I see a quarterback
(24:07):
in Scather Thompson that is zero to three with a
fifty two point eight passer rating on the road. Not
a gigantic sample, but I see a guy that is
going to be in a world of hurts against that
Seahawk defense. I also see a head coach in Mike
McDonald that frankly was not happy with the way he
called the game against New England. He even admitted that
that he could have had a better game as a
play caller against the Patriots. And the one thing you
(24:29):
don't want to do if you're Miami and Mike McDaniel
is piss off Mike McDonald and awaken the beast. I
think the beast has been awoke, and I think you'll
see Mike McDonald, the defensive play caller at his very
best in this game on Sunday versus Miami, because he
was not pleased with the way he performed on Sunday
against the Patriots. Five and a half. They'll cover it
(24:51):
to win the game by a touchdown. Give me the
Hawks minus the five and a half against Miami. Factor
fiction right now, to four nine, four to five one.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You are uniquely equipped to handle Tyreek Kill and Jayden
Waddle because your corner tandem. I mean, if you just
look at the numbers right now. I just was just
looking at this chart. If you look at the tandem,
it's number one in the NFL. There's not a better
tandem statistically through the first two games than Tarik Wollan
and Devin Witherspoon.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Now we can argue whether that the actual.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Best corners, but there's certainly a top five cornerback tandem
in the NFL. So you're uniquely equipped to lead those
guys out on islands and say, okay, Skyler Thompson can
you get Tyreek kill the ball forty five yards downfield
with Devin Witherspoon covering him and this pass rush. I mean,
think about how much better the numbers would be if
boy A Mafey would have just wrapped up to Kobe
(25:41):
Brissett on that play.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Unblockable, I mean he was, but he then he didn't
wrap him up and allow that big first down.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That's fine, but.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I mean there's there's another play that I don't think
Skyler Thompson can get out of, like Jacoby Brissette was
able to.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yes, well, and guess who else kind of woke up
Byron Murphy kind of woke up a bit yesterday too
in that game. So I'm telling you I don't want
to underestimate my McDonald coming out and basically criticizing himself
for the way he performed on Sunday. I mean, head
coaches don't often do that, and Mike McDonald, the defensive coordinator,
did that. So I cannot wait to see what this
guy has up his sleeve on Sunday. Give us the

The m's are fighting biggest one right now is time,
no question about that.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Twelve games left to go. Where will we be in
ten days from now? Come on, boys, let's make some history,
all right? You're not buying to do it, are you? No?
At all?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Hey, it's pretty simple.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
They have played better baseball, yeah, and they haven't gained
hardly any ground at all.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
A little bit in the wild car. But you're right,
not much a game? Not much? Yeah, not much? All right, Well,
here we go. I'm on the believable.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
They're playing better baseball. You gotta give them credit for this.
Makes the idea. They should have made this move two
months ago.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They strayed themselves a month and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Believable. All right, let's get to it. Let's you know,
we're in a good mood because the Hawks won. What
kind of a bad mood? Are you more pissed off
about the Apple Copper? Fired up for the Hawks? I'missed off.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. All right, here
we go. Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear? What?
What's that? Dick? We start?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
In the NFL and Tennessee's loss yesterday, head coach Brian
Callahan from Callahanatto was seen yelling what the effort you doing?
To Will Levis after his quarterback had a crucial fumble
In the Reds postgame press conference, Callahan was asked about
the interaction.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Yeah, I was upset it was done. It was the
same exact thing he did last week, and he cost
us points in the red zone. And that's that's that
is what it is that he's a grown up and
he knows better, and so, you know, I was really
irritated that he cost us three points in a gamelet
we probably needed.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
It was his answer to that question, What the f
was he?
Speaker 7 (28:20):
It's a good kill. Hell, you have to ask him
with the answer. Well, he didn't have an answer in the moment.
I think he was just mad. But we tried to
come back and rally. I mean, those things happened in
football games, good things, bad things. I'll get mad at him,
you know, he'll get mad at me. Whatever, it's the
way it goes. But yeah, just just was really kind
of an excusable mistake.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's beautiful. Good for him.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
This is one week after.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
This is one week after he said we were bet
we'd be better off punting the ball every possessions. Right,
This sounds like a coach that really just doesn't like
his not just doesn't like his quarterback as his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, he's not showing.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Him a lot of respect as a human being.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Well maybe there's a reason for that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I mean, from my perspective, I love it. If I'm
a fan, it's fun. If I'm a fair of the Titans.
I'm like, whoa, what the hell's going on here? But
I I'd rather have that than all these stupid cliches
that coaches.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Come out with.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I mean, really, what is the point of a postgame
press conference? Right to entertain people? Whether it's the media
or the fans. There is a reason why teams stream
these things. And if you're not entertaining me, what the
hell am I watching for? I think coaches Jackson she
have to wear like a dog shot collar on their neck,
and whenever they have a cliche, you know we're gonna
take it one.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I mean, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Did you see the fantasy football bet the guy's made
or the guy that lost the league had to play
around the golf wearing a dog collar and every time
he swung the funniest good for him? All right, Hey,
ad Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
And another blunt postgame presser Jaguar quarterback Trevor Lawrence reflecting
on his team being zero and to to start the
year and only scoring thirty total points.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
House thunder you by the last six offensive performance in
the last six quarters.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, I mean we suck, right, now, so I don't, uh,
pretty shocked, you know, obviously this is we had a
great off season, great training camp, and we got to.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Figure it out.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I've just been waiting on Trevor Lawrence Island for like
five years, waiting for the Trevor Lawrence that I thought existed.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
He was on college to show up. Was that a
home game for them, by the way, at a home
game this week?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
There?
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, that it was that Trevor Banks exactly.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
How dump a Trevor Bank stadium?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
They're playing state, They're playing like crap in a stadium
named after the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Like are you kidding me? Like, don't do things like that.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Don't make moves like that that give the fans reason
to think you're all a bunch of adults.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's not that hard.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Don't name a stadium after a current player, no matter
how much money they give you.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
It's well, there's a lot of ownership groups in the
NFL that we look at and, oh my god, I'm
glad we're not one of those.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh god, unbelievable. All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
What's that? Dick? There's a good one.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You're like this during the fourth quarter of yesterday's Viking
Niner game on CBS, Kevin Hard and our buddy tried
to throw the broadcast to Nate Berlason, our other buddy
in New York for a studio updated of the Titans
Jet game, but Nate could not hear Kevin, so Harlan
had to give the update by himself.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Man, let's take you to Nate Perlisson in New York.
I can't hear anything, Kenna, I can.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Hear you, yo, go Rogers against Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
On the going banner was caught by.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
The Titans Ridley with a touchdown reception.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
The former checks Dale Chamesward, who you have us with
the long.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
F for Tennessee doctor Minnapolis, Hi day, thank you seconds
and he's got the ball and I.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
First twenty two.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
You have called two games at one time, and now
you called the studio and a at the same time.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
So you never ceased to amaze incredible.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Did people understand what happened there?
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Okay, I think so you want to explain it again? Well?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yeah, I mean just obviously TV did TV does it
a lot more justice.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I mean Nate couldn't do the highlights because he didn't
know it was being thrown to him, and so Kevin
just watching on this other screen the highlights Nate was
supposed to be doing, and so.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
He just does Nate's job for him and then throws
it back to himself and Kevin Harden and we'll we'll
ask him on Wednesday when he comes on.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It seems like he's been in.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That position before where he's calling like multiple games at
once at the same time and does a pretty damn
good job of it.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Man, I don't know, he's just bad.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It is a better guy than he is a broadcaster,
by the way. I guess he's calling the Dolphins game
for CBS on Sunday, and that guy he'll be here.
We got time for one more.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I want to say no, but I also want to
say yes, but we don't want to say yes, so
we don't have Did you happen to hear that executive decision?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Our good friend and Wednesday guests Mike Florio joined The
Dan Patrick Show Friday and shared his frustration that there
is a fantasy football expert named Michael F.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Florio who works with the NFL network. Is there a
trademark on Mike Florio? Here?
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Is there any kind of legal pen you know, something pending.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
I've had people call me and say, hey, congratulations on
your son's job at NFL Network.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It's like, first of.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
All, if you know anything about my relationship with the league,
no one related to me by blooder marriage would ever
be employed by NFL Network. And secondly, that guy should
change his name. Just like PFT comment there's only one PFT.
Although I have allowed PFT commenter, we have a loose understanding.
I will not send a season assist letter. I have
(33:44):
no such understanding with Michael F. Florio, who should go
by his middle name or change his last name.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
That is my official position on it. See, I thought
it was somebody just calling you Michael F.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
And Florio, which you've been Park Avenue.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
That's actually pretty fun. I mean, I don't know if
you're Michael F. Florio, would you want to be known
as Michael Florio or would you want to be known
as as somebody else? Because if Mike Florio, who by
the way, often finds himself in the crosshairs of fans,
you know that's right, gets beat up, then people may
think he's the one doing it, and vice versa. I
don't want to, I don't want to know Softy out
(34:19):
there embarrassing me. I embarrass myself enough. If there was
a second Dick Fane out there and that guy's taking
heat from people, would you want to be associated with other?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
But if he had a million followers like it might
raise the Q rating of Michael F. Florio right, because
he's certainly not as big a name.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Steven SUSA gonna join us next, and then Will Rogers
coming up four twenty eight talking about what happened against
the Koubs on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Right here on ninety three three KJRFM
There we go, your home for the NFL and the
twelfth Man, broadly frost browed COR's life. Choose to chill
Mondays with Sudan as we count you down to Monday
night football tonight in five fifty for the touchdown on
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR F M.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
All right, we're back here on a Monday afternoon from
the Emerald Queen Casino Sportsbook. Come on down watch the
Eagles in Atlanta five point fifteen. You know the Falcons
are one injury away from seeing Michael Pennix play quarterback.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
For that, let me ask you a small question.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yes, not only anybody really kind of wishes any real
serious ill will on anybody, but would you be okay
with like a little hamstring pole or like some just
shoulder tightness or maybe like stiffness in the hip or
whatever that would keep him on the bench for a
couple of drives so we can see.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Pen And I absolutely think it's gonna happen at some point.
I totally just don't see Kirk making it through seventeen.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well, let me ask you a question, why do you
think the Falcons drafted the guy? Because if they don't
need that reason, which brings up the question why did
they sign the guy to that contract in the first place. Well,
we're here at the Emerald Queens Softian Dick with you
from the Casino Sportsbook. Jackson's back in the studio, and man,
we got a big show. First of all, Will Rogers
is gonna join us at four twenty eight today. I
(01:22):
don't know if he spoke after the game on Saturday
or not, to be totally honest with you, Yeah, so
we're gonna get some thoughts from Will on on on
the way the Apple Cup went, the way that fourth
down play went, the way the last couple that drives went.
You know, Washington football was kind of a kind of
a bleep show on offense for the final few drives
of that game on Saturday, not just that fourth down
(01:43):
play and not just that last possession. So I just
feel like there's a lot to go over from the
Apple Cup, and I feel like, to me, it's number
one at top of mind and it's not even close.
I want to seriously like congratulate the Cougars on their win,
and we like the Bustians chops on the air a
little bit, you know, kind of go after Jessman because
she she's kind of an easy target. I mean, she
gets a little worked up about stuff. She's kind of
(02:05):
like me in that regard. So I feel like I'm
pushing the easy button when I'm going after her. But
I just kind of feel like, Look, Dick, you knew
that I was concerned about this game. I've been telling
you for months on the air. I was concerned about
the Apple Cup. Not that you weren't concerned about it,
but I was. I liked, Well, first of all, there's
a there's a couple of things. Number One, I think
Wazu got to break facing the Huskies in week three
(02:26):
versus week twelve.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Agreed.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I think you dub is going to be a better
team in week twelve than they are in week three.
Their offensive line certainly should be better by week twelve
than they are in week three. Brand new system, fifty
one new guys. I just think naturally this team should
get better as the year goes by. So getting to
face them early, I thought it was a win for Wazoo.
Number Two, the passion, the emotion, the anger, the frustration.
Never in the history of the Apple Cup has there
(02:48):
been a football team that was facing the Huskies feeling
like they were wronged off the field. Yeah, there's always
been hatred towards you Dub for a lot of reasons.
But how you add the element of, hey, you wronged
us off the field, like you know, like I said
the other day, you know, we've been their daddy and
now they want us to be their mommy too, and
(03:10):
you know let them kind of hang.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Around take care of them.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, so that that was a factor for them. And
I just remember looking at Greg Lewis during the game
on Saturday. I think it may have been like near halftime, thinking, man,
it really feels like you Dub is relying on talent
right now and Washington State is relying on heart and
drive in this game, and they played great. I mean,
Johnny Matteer is a badass, no question. I mean, I'm
(03:35):
a Heisman voter. Ian's a Heisman voter, Hume Melwins a
Heisman voter. I could absolutely see putting Johnny Matteer on
my Heisman belt. You know, he's got to get a
little better with the with the arm, for sure. And
I gotta tell you, man, late in that game, in
the fourth quarter, I think Washington State almost blew it
and let you Dub back in that game by throwing
the football. I could not believe how much Wazoo was
(03:57):
throwing the football on those two final drives. When Prisack
had that near pick, which I thought was the right
call by the way to overturn it, and then Thatteus
Dixon had the interception on the home run ball that
was thrown over the receiver's heads. It's interesting how these
things balance on the edge of a knife. If U
Dub scores on that drive and they win the game,
(04:18):
I think we're sitting here going what the hell where
the Cougar coaches do it? Throwing the ball in the
fourth quarter, So instead we're talking about let's face it.
I mean, I think all of us agree. We can
debate this all you want, but I just thought it
was a mistake. It was a brutal mistake by Jed
Fish to run that play. And look, everyone's got their
pet peeves when it comes to sports. Everyone has their
(04:40):
pet peeves when it comes to life. And one of
my biggest pet peeves when it comes to football is
why coaches on fourth and one or third and short
run out a shotgun. I don't get it. I don't
understand it. I've never understood it and I never will
understand it. When you are asking an offensive line, which,
by the way, especially this offensive line that.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Is very very raw and very very young.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
When it comes to how much football they've played together,
you're gonna ask your offensive line to hold their blocks
for a running back to get what is essentially six
and a half yards versus a yard and a half.
I said it on Twitter before the play was even snapped.
Get out a shotgun, don't overthink this. Get Will Rogers
under center, which he's been doing a lot this year,
(05:26):
a lot more than he was when he was in
Mississippi State. Turn the ball and give it to number
one and let's go. And coaches overthinking these situations constantly.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
It just kills me.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And it kills me even more than it happened in
a rivalry game that you probably should have won first
and goal from the nine.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You should have won that game whenever.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The win probability chart that you like to talk about
and bring up, I don't know what it was, but
it had to be pretty damn high. So that's number
one for me, and then number two the play call itself.
I just going back and watching the play and I'm
watching offensive linemen getting blown off the ball. All right,
I'm watching the right side of the Husky offensive line
(06:08):
getting blown off the ball. There were not enough players
to pick up the blockers number one, number two, the
offensive lines getting hammered to death on that play, and
then number three. It's one of those plays where it
just doesn't make any sense from the second the ball
is snapped and you can't call consecutive timeouts in college
football anymore, Dick, by the way. But the fact that
(06:31):
we're on the air and we're even discussing the idea
of when Jedfish saw that alignment by Wazoo, which he
said today he had no problem with. I don't understand
where that comes from, but he said today he had
no problem with it. I would even think about and
Hugh talked about this taking a delay and just saying,
you know what, this ain't gonna work right. As much
as it would suck to lose five yards and have
(06:52):
to go forth and go from the six yard line,
your odds of resetting, getting something else in there and
running that from the six versus that play from the one.
I feel like in some alternate universe, the odds would
have been better. And then look, after watching the tape,
Jedfish today just clearly saying it was the right play call.
And this is one of those moments where most fans
and most media people would disagree with him, and this
(07:15):
is gonna be the narrative for a while. I don't
think there's anything against Northwestern. I don't think there's much
against Rutgers that you can do to put that horrible
taste out of people's mouths. Do you want to overcome
what happened on Saturday at Lumenfield against Washington State, then
you have to go out at least and do what
you thought you had a chance to do, which is
(07:36):
go five and one with that one loss coming to
Michigan instead of Washington State.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You beat the Wolverines.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
In three weeks from now, when you're a five and
one football team, I think people can start to move on.
But right now, the narrative about the coach and the
narrative about the football team is that play, whether you
like it or not.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Went back and watched it today to go through the
pain one more time.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, and what what got what got me? In the
last two minutes of that game is how similar to
Super Bowl forty nine it felt like.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The curse catch, the juggling catch, was the Giles Jackson
catch over the top. That was the paddles to the chest.
Oh my god, we're back in this thing, right. Then
they give the ball to Jonah Coleman and he just
bursts forward like just absolute monster to the nine yard line.
You got all the moment in the world. That was
the Marshawn Lynch run down to the one yard line,
(08:31):
and then you just stall and you have weird timeouts
at weird times. You had all this momentum and you
took it away from yourself with those timeouts. And I
just don't understand those timeouts are taken one even after
an incomplete pass when the clock was stopped, give yourself
the opportunity that if you don't get in that, you
still have multiple timeouts where you could potentially get the
(08:53):
ball back right in good field position to try to
try to win that game. But as far as the
play call, I mean, you had Demon Williams in the
game earlier in that drive.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
If you want it on first down right, if you wanted.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
To run the option I'm fine running the option, but
get the option quarterback in.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
There and run it to the wide side.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
If you wanted to do that, you don't have a
quarterback and great passing quarterback.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
They hadn't thought he had another good game through the air.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
You don't have a quarterback that has what negative three
hundred and thirty nine yards rushing in his career, and
that's a stat Look it up. Run the option play,
particularly to the short side. I rarely have seen a
play where literally one step after the snap, I was like,
oh my god, what is this? Like you you knew
(09:45):
it wasn't going to work from the moment he took
the first step to the right, You're like, what you
just saw nothing but white jerseys everywhere on a third
of the field over on that far side.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, but you combine all.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of that with don't forget by the way that sacks
come off rushing yards and cow right, that's exactly right,
and that's why well yeah, but that's the reason for
that big number. I mean, he had some he had
some decent runs in the game. He did four halftime
and a seventeen years. He's not your best option rends, yes,
but I wouldn't run that play with Demon Williams either.
I went I went running with either one of them,
(10:19):
because I just I just think the numbers just don't
add up. I mean, you're getting the sideline is a
defender for Washington State. It's like a twelfth defend, right,
and you were giving Washington State a twelfth defender when
you run the ball that way.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
That's why I said running to the white side, right.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I didn't say run, I said don't run it at all, okay,
but you have plenty of room if you wanted to
run to the white side. The thing, the second thing
is these penalties that came at such horrendous times. I mean,
end of the first half, you go three and out,
then you're d allowed sixty two yards and two plays
in under a minute.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Then you get a defensive holding call, and then.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
After a sack, you allow a third and twenty scramble
for a touchdown. I mean Thaddeus Dixon and Jordan Shaw,
they one of those two, if not both, has to
have outside contained and Mattier just bounces it outside easy
as you please for that touchdown. And then the very
first drive of the second half of the koops in
a seventeen sixteen game. You force them again into third
(11:16):
and twenty, you sack Matier and you get a defensive
holding call on Jordan Shaw that cost you seven points.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
That penalty was a seven point penalty.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
So all these different all these different things leading up
to that last play never needed app We never needed
to be in that situation. This was a team that
had more passing yards, had more total yards, had more
time of possession. This was the better team on the field,
but they they were not the more disciplined team on
the field well, and they were not the team that
(11:46):
closed the game out.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
It kind of reminds me of the twenty twenty four
Mariners in the fact that they never should have been
in that position to begin with, the even having it
be a close game, that's right, I mean, they just shot.
And when you've got all these new guys and Jordan
Shaw is a new guy, I mean Lot two had
a you know, some some penalties. You had a bunch
of offsides on the final series of the game for Wazoo,
where even if there was a chance for a guy
to have a bad snap that was taken off, when
(12:09):
you had two consecutive off sides, I think and then
just for giggles, a unsportsman like penalty on Javon Parker.
It's like it just just nailed the nuts. I mean,
come on, let's go from thirteen flags to sixteen flags.
So it was just it was a horrible, horrible day
when it came to discipline. It was a bad day
for coaching decisions. I thought the way they handled the
end of the first half from an offensive perspective, I mean,
(12:31):
you get the ball back with like four and a
half minutes to go after Washington State misses the field goal,
Will Rodgers goes for seventeen yards and then boom, He's
off the field for the end of the half and
is never to be seen from again until the second half.
I mean, look, I got no problem rotating guys like
I got no problem bringing in a demon Woy.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I have no problem spelling Jonah Coleman.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
There was even a point in time which I thought
was really cool actually, when Jeed Fish had Jonah Coleman
and Adam Mouhammad together at the same time on the field.
I looked at Great, I said, hey, that's pretty awesome
having both those guys play together. And there might be
some times where Will plays with dem On Williams, to
be totally honest with you, but it just felt like
it was out of sorts, right. It just felt like
the timing was off. It was kind of discombobulated, like
(13:14):
the players weren't on the same page with the coaches
as far as the plan on Saturday. We're gonna do
this here, We're gonna do that there. When a guy's hot,
you got to kind of shove your thoughts and just
go with the hot hand.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And look, I mean, coaches have bad days.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Players have bad days, blocking, players have bad days catching, throwing,
all that stuff. Coaches have bad days calm plays. I mean,
we saw that, you know, a ton with Shane Waldron
a year ago, and now you're seeing Ryan Grubb have
a great day when it mattered in the heat of
the moment against the Patriots yesterday in overtime. I mean,
how much did Ryan grubb stock rise yesterday after that thing?
So I just think you chuck this up to a
(13:50):
bad day for the coaching staff, a bad day for
a young football team still trying to find themselves, a
bad day for discipline, and I hope that they're better
for this, you know, I mean, this should be the
most penalties the Huskies have the entire season.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Sixteen is a lot, and if.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They have more than sixteen, I guarantee you whatever game
that comes in, they're gonna lose. But I don't think
we can have any revisionist history here. We said this
on the year Friday. If you're not good enough to
beat Washington State, what makes you think you're good enough
to go to New Jersey and beat Rutgers in two
weeks from now? I mean, all of a sudden, that
game is a pain in the ass. Indiana looks like
they might be okay going to the Rolls Bowl and
hammering Ucla. I think Ucla is terrible, but still Indiana
(14:30):
thumped them. So that was fork in the Road game
number one. We talked about this two weeks ago. We're
not gonna change now. Rutgers is the next. They should
be able to handle Northwestern at home and be three
and one. But it feels like the idea of getting
this team to Bowl eligibility, Dick as the year goes
on is just gonna be a slog.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It's gonna be a slog. Yeah, all year long, together.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Of the style of games you're gonna be playing and
I wish this game was a little more of a
slog and not such a half thrown pass, halfy fest. Dave,
you know how much I like to control the clock
and run the ball. And if you'd have told me
on Friday, if you have said, hey, Dick, I don't
know how this game is gonna go, but I'm gonna
guarantee you one thing. Here's a stat. Jonah Coleman's gonna
have fourteen carries. You know what I would have said,
Oh crap, Yeah, we're in trouble. Yeah, they gave number
(15:14):
one the ball fourteen times. That cannot happen the rest
of the year. It just can't happen. Because when he
was in there, he was they were keying on him,
and he was still carrying guys. He still busted out
runs and receptions for fifteen twenty yards.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Well, yeah, he had the one big long run and
outside of that didn't do a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
It's that's the way brunning backs had their stats sometimes
with the big runs. I just gotta keeping I thought
Wazu did a pretty good job bottling Jonah combed up
as the day went on.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I just think there were two problems with the game.
There were there were three problems with the game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Number one, you had a chance to win the game
on fourth down and you had the wrong call. Okay, period,
end of story. Everything that we talked about, the penalties,
the lack of execution. You had a chance to win
the game with one play on fourth and goal from
the one, and you made the wrong call. That's the
biggest reason why I think the Huskies lost their game.
Number two, their offensive line just did not have a
(16:14):
good day, could not protect for as good as the
Cougar offensive line was protecting Johnny Matteer, the Husky offensive line.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
We said this, and we said it, and we said it.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
There's gonna be a game where we look at the
offensive line and think, okay, there it is that they're
not playing great. They're getting kind of pushed around. I
thought Saturday was that day. And then number three, the
penalties obviously just killed these guys. I mean, like you said,
that holding call on Jordan Shaw, what was it third
and eighteen?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Is that what it was? Third and eighteen? It was
thirty eighteen, third and eighteen from.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
The minus twenty six yard line, and they got a
holding call. And three plays later the next play, Parker
goes for thirty seven, but Tier goes for eleven, and
then this Meredith kid that came out of nowhere, for
God's sakes, he gets a touchdown. So you go from
getting him off the field on third and eighteen and
probably getting pretty good field position.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
To three plays later you're down twenty four to six. Day.
I mean it's unreal, right, I mean, just.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You're in these advantageous positions that you want to be
in defensively, and you say, you know what, I don't
want that gift.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Let him off of you take it.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
I don't want that you you take it, you know
him take.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Your fast and the matear. I mean, Matier did a
great job.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
He was awesome. He was you know, he was good.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
He was what we feared he would be with his
legs right and in the worst possible time for rash.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
All right, So uh thoughts four nine, four or five one?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I guess we'll have Linda Conan with four forty five today,
but we can read some texts on the air. Will
Rogers is gonna join us at four twenty eight. Stephens
SUSA at four fun with audio three forty five. So
Hawks win, Huskies lose.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
We'll get to all of it. More thoughts on the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Did did Gino Smith take another big step in earning
another big contract with the Seahawks yesterday?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Let's discuss it. Coming up on ninety three three kJ RFM.
Now back to frost brewed cors Light.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Choose to chill Mondays with Sathi and Dip on your
home for the twelfth Man and the NFL Sports Radio
ninety three point three kjr FL.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
All right, boys and girls, back here at the Emerald
Queen Casino Sportsbook. We got football Atlanta, Philadelphia five point fifteen.
Steven sus are gonna hop on at four o'clock or
so and talk about the but the butt them heartbeat
that this baseball team has. I think they have a heartbeat. You,
you guys may think they've already.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Passed on that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Stephen Susan will jorn it's at four o'clock today and
give us some thoughts on the ms.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Will Rodgers will join us as well.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Uh coming up from the Huskiest courtesy a Motley Futures
at four to twenty eight this afternoon, UH Geno Smith
and the Seahawks go to New England on a day
where they're starting what is in essence a third string
right tackle in stone Forsyth. They're missing Kenny Walker, they
have no running game to speak of whatsoever, and they
(18:53):
put the game in the hands of Geno Smith and
he goes thirty three of forty four three twenty seven
a touchdown, toclude another and for the six times since
the start of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Game winning drive.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I was impressed by what I saw from the Seahawks
because I thought there was a lot going wrong for
them offensively in that game yesterday. And if you go
back and look at the drive chart in the second half,
they had I think six consecutive drives guys where they.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Scored three total points.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
They could not do anything offensively in the second half
of that game. And the fact that they were able
to hang in there against those guys and make the
adjustments when it mattered on the road against a fired
up Patriot team. Malcolm Butler, you know, ringing the bell,
doing all that crap bringing that team back, blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That was a pumped up crowd yesterday.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I don't ever want people to apologize for road wins
in the National Football League, especially against a team like
that that usually plays pretty good defense. So the question
is how impressed were we by the Seahawks yesterday And
did Geno Smith do enough to take another step towards
deserving a contract extension when the year is over.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Well, you don't win a lot of games in this
league rushing at two point four yards per carre.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Nope, And they did that. And Geno Smith.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Thirty three of forty four with four drops and a
spike at the end of the game.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Right, there's five incompletions right then, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Fifty two dropbacks total for Geno Smith, zero turnover worthy
plays and an eighty seven percent expected completion in percentage
I mean that is that was one of the finest
games we've ever seen Geno Smith play. And but the
trend continues of Gino playing like this in close games.
In the fourth quarter in overtime, he was eleven to fourteen,
(20:36):
one hundred and three yards in the fourth quarter in overtime.
That's US ninety seven passer rating. If you go back
to the beginning of last year, now he's got ten
touchdowns and one interception in the fourth quarter or overtime.
That's a one oh five passer rating that is number
two in the NFL. Yeah, and he's starting to get
some national buzz or some national names, national analysts out
there going, why isn't anybody talking about Geno Smith?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I think a lot of people are talking about Smith
just because he'll have two or three games like this
and then he'll disappear for three or four games. They'll
either not rely on him to throw the ball or
he'll just have a mediocre performance. But that's because that's
what Geno Smith is. Right, We've said all along. Last
year he was a dead average quarterback in the NFL.
The year before that, he was an above average quarterback
(21:19):
in the NFL. Now with Ryan Grubb, I think we're
expecting him to be at least an above average quarterback
in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And guess what if he's an above average quarterback in
the NFL, Dick, He's not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
He's just not because that's suicide.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Well, because they don't have an ants to get rid
of the above average quarterback in the National Football League
would be stupid. And did you hear what Mike McDonald
said yesterday about him? If you look at what Mike
McDonald said about Geno Smith. That's not a guy that's
ready to let Geno Smith walk when his contract is
up year, right, But he's but he's talking about a
guy who's gonna want a new deal when the year's over.
(21:55):
He's already confirmed he approached the Seahawks about a new contract.
And I think Geno, I'll go answer my own question.
I think he did take a step towards getting a
new contract from the Seahawks. And if Ryan Grubb makes
him an above average quarterback, then he deserves it. I mean,
my question would be, is Ryan Grubb gonna be here
in a year from now? Because there is a serious
lack of quality candidates in the NFL to be head
coaches from this next wave of people. I told her
(22:17):
the Staft there's only one offensive coordinator from the last
like two or two or three years that's still with
the same team, and it's Ben Johnson because he turned
the commander's job down. If you can even remotely call
plays in the NFL, you're getting a head coaching job.
I mean, Shane Waldron got an O C job based
on nothing, just being based on hanging around Shane Waldron
and the difference in yesterday's game. Look at the targets.
(22:37):
Thirty targets for DK Metcalf and Jackson Smith and Jigba.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
That is what you do.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
If you're Ryan Grubb and you have these freaking stallions,
you need to let them run and getting the ball
to those guys thirty times. Man, my god, how many
people have been begging for that since these guys showed up.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
All right, Uh, Seahawks get her done. They're two and oh.
They're coming home on Sunday against the Dolphins. What do
you think that stadium is going to be like on
Sunday afternoon when the Seahawks come home looking to go
three and oh under rookie head coach Mike McDonald loud,
fired up your stuff scale one to ten.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah seven, yeah seven, Maybe as loud as it's been
in a long time.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Maybe kind of trending towards getting back to where it
used to be back in the day. I think it's
going to be very loud. I think Seahawks fans know
there's a guy in Skyler Thompson coming in a quarterback.
We can make this guy's life miserable. I think flying
twenty five miles away and winning a football game is very,
very hard to do. And I see a Miami football
team that's beaten down right now. I see a quarterback
(24:07):
in Scather Thompson that is zero to three with a
fifty two point eight passer rating on the road. Not
a gigantic sample, but I see a guy that is
going to be in a world of hurts against that
Seahawk defense. I also see a head coach in Mike
McDonald that frankly was not happy with the way he
called the game against New England. He even admitted that
that he could have had a better game as a
play caller against the Patriots. And the one thing you
(24:29):
don't want to do if you're Miami and Mike McDaniel
is piss off Mike McDonald and awaken the beast. I
think the beast has been awoke, and I think you'll
see Mike McDonald, the defensive play caller at his very
best in this game on Sunday versus Miami, because he
was not pleased with the way he performed on Sunday
against the Patriots. Five and a half. They'll cover it
(24:51):
to win the game by a touchdown. Give me the
Hawks minus the five and a half against Miami. Factor
fiction right now, to four nine, four to five one.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You are uniquely equipped to handle Tyreek Kill and Jayden
Waddle because your corner tandem. I mean, if you just
look at the numbers right now. I just was just
looking at this chart. If you look at the tandem,
it's number one in the NFL. There's not a better
tandem statistically through the first two games than Tarik Wollan
and Devin Witherspoon.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Now we can argue whether that the actual.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Best corners, but there's certainly a top five cornerback tandem
in the NFL. So you're uniquely equipped to lead those
guys out on islands and say, okay, Skyler Thompson can
you get Tyreek kill the ball forty five yards downfield
with Devin Witherspoon covering him and this pass rush. I mean,
think about how much better the numbers would be if
boy A Mafey would have just wrapped up to Kobe
(25:41):
Brissett on that play.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Unblockable, I mean he was, but he then he didn't
wrap him up and allow that big first down.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
That's fine, but.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
I mean there's there's another play that I don't think
Skyler Thompson can get out of, like Jacoby Brissette was
able to.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yes, well, and guess who else kind of woke up
Byron Murphy kind of woke up a bit yesterday too
in that game. So I'm telling you I don't want
to underestimate my McDonald coming out and basically criticizing himself
for the way he performed on Sunday. I mean, head
coaches don't often do that, and Mike McDonald, the defensive coordinator,
did that. So I cannot wait to see what this
guy has up his sleeve on Sunday. Give us the

The m's are fighting biggest one right now is time,
no question about that.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Twelve games left to go. Where will we be in
ten days from now? Come on, boys, let's make some history,
all right? You're not buying to do it, are you? No?
At all?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Hey, it's pretty simple.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
They have played better baseball, yeah, and they haven't gained
hardly any ground at all.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
A little bit in the wild car. But you're right,
not much a game? Not much? Yeah, not much? All right, Well,
here we go. I'm on the believable.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
They're playing better baseball. You gotta give them credit for this.
Makes the idea. They should have made this move two
months ago.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They strayed themselves a month and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Believable. All right, let's get to it. Let's you know,
we're in a good mood because the Hawks won. What
kind of a bad mood? Are you more pissed off
about the Apple Copper? Fired up for the Hawks? I'missed off.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. All right, here
we go. Hey, Dick, did you happen to hear? What?
What's that? Dick? We start?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
In the NFL and Tennessee's loss yesterday, head coach Brian
Callahan from Callahanatto was seen yelling what the effort you doing?
To Will Levis after his quarterback had a crucial fumble
In the Reds postgame press conference, Callahan was asked about
the interaction.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Yeah, I was upset it was done. It was the
same exact thing he did last week, and he cost
us points in the red zone. And that's that's that
is what it is that he's a grown up and
he knows better, and so, you know, I was really
irritated that he cost us three points in a gamelet
we probably needed.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
It was his answer to that question, What the f
was he?
Speaker 7 (28:20):
It's a good kill. Hell, you have to ask him
with the answer. Well, he didn't have an answer in the moment.
I think he was just mad. But we tried to
come back and rally. I mean, those things happened in
football games, good things, bad things. I'll get mad at him,
you know, he'll get mad at me. Whatever, it's the
way it goes. But yeah, just just was really kind
of an excusable mistake.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
That's beautiful. Good for him.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
This is one week after.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
This is one week after he said we were bet
we'd be better off punting the ball every possessions. Right,
This sounds like a coach that really just doesn't like
his not just doesn't like his quarterback as his quarterback.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, he's not showing.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Him a lot of respect as a human being.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Well maybe there's a reason for that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
I mean, from my perspective, I love it. If I'm
a fan, it's fun. If I'm a fair of the Titans.
I'm like, whoa, what the hell's going on here? But
I I'd rather have that than all these stupid cliches
that coaches.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Come out with.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I mean, really, what is the point of a postgame
press conference? Right to entertain people? Whether it's the media
or the fans. There is a reason why teams stream
these things. And if you're not entertaining me, what the
hell am I watching for? I think coaches Jackson she
have to wear like a dog shot collar on their neck,
and whenever they have a cliche, you know we're gonna
take it one.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I mean, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Did you see the fantasy football bet the guy's made
or the guy that lost the league had to play
around the golf wearing a dog collar and every time
he swung the funniest good for him? All right, Hey,
ad Dick, did you happen to hear that?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Dick?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
And another blunt postgame presser Jaguar quarterback Trevor Lawrence reflecting
on his team being zero and to to start the
year and only scoring thirty total points.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
House thunder you by the last six offensive performance in
the last six quarters.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, I mean we suck, right, now, so I don't, uh,
pretty shocked, you know, obviously this is we had a
great off season, great training camp, and we got to.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Figure it out.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
I've just been waiting on Trevor Lawrence Island for like
five years, waiting for the Trevor Lawrence that I thought existed.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
He was on college to show up. Was that a
home game for them, by the way, at a home
game this week?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
There?
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, that it was that Trevor Banks exactly.
Speaker 5 (30:27):
How dump a Trevor Bank stadium?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
They're playing state, They're playing like crap in a stadium
named after the quarterback?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Like are you kidding me? Like, don't do things like that.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Don't make moves like that that give the fans reason
to think you're all a bunch of adults.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's not that hard.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Don't name a stadium after a current player, no matter
how much money they give you.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
It's well, there's a lot of ownership groups in the
NFL that we look at and, oh my god, I'm
glad we're not one of those.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Oh god, unbelievable. All right, Hey, Dick, did you happen
to hear that?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
What's that? Dick? There's a good one.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
You're like this during the fourth quarter of yesterday's Viking
Niner game on CBS, Kevin Hard and our buddy tried
to throw the broadcast to Nate Berlason, our other buddy
in New York for a studio updated of the Titans
Jet game, but Nate could not hear Kevin, so Harlan
had to give the update by himself.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Man, let's take you to Nate Perlisson in New York.
I can't hear anything, Kenna, I can.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Hear you, yo, go Rogers against Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
On the going banner was caught by.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
The Titans Ridley with a touchdown reception.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
The former checks Dale Chamesward, who you have us with
the long.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
F for Tennessee doctor Minnapolis, Hi day, thank you seconds
and he's got the ball and I.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
First twenty two.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
You have called two games at one time, and now
you called the studio and a at the same time.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
So you never ceased to amaze incredible.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Did people understand what happened there?
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Okay, I think so you want to explain it again? Well?
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Yeah, I mean just obviously TV did TV does it
a lot more justice.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
I mean Nate couldn't do the highlights because he didn't
know it was being thrown to him, and so Kevin
just watching on this other screen the highlights Nate was
supposed to be doing, and so.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
He just does Nate's job for him and then throws
it back to himself and Kevin Harden and we'll we'll
ask him on Wednesday when he comes on.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
It seems like he's been in.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That position before where he's calling like multiple games at
once at the same time and does a pretty damn
good job of it.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Man, I don't know, he's just bad.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
It is a better guy than he is a broadcaster,
by the way. I guess he's calling the Dolphins game
for CBS on Sunday, and that guy he'll be here.
We got time for one more.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I want to say no, but I also want to
say yes, but we don't want to say yes, so
we don't have Did you happen to hear that executive decision?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Our good friend and Wednesday guests Mike Florio joined The
Dan Patrick Show Friday and shared his frustration that there
is a fantasy football expert named Michael F.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Florio who works with the NFL network. Is there a
trademark on Mike Florio? Here?
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Is there any kind of legal pen you know, something pending.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
I've had people call me and say, hey, congratulations on
your son's job at NFL Network.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
It's like, first of.
Speaker 8 (33:22):
All, if you know anything about my relationship with the league,
no one related to me by blooder marriage would ever
be employed by NFL Network. And secondly, that guy should
change his name. Just like PFT comment there's only one PFT.
Although I have allowed PFT commenter, we have a loose understanding.
I will not send a season assist letter. I have
(33:44):
no such understanding with Michael F. Florio, who should go
by his middle name or change his last name.
Speaker 5 (33:49):
That is my official position on it. See, I thought
it was somebody just calling you Michael F.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
And Florio, which you've been Park Avenue.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
That's actually pretty fun. I mean, I don't know if
you're Michael F. Florio, would you want to be known
as Michael Florio or would you want to be known
as as somebody else? Because if Mike Florio, who by
the way, often finds himself in the crosshairs of fans,
you know that's right, gets beat up, then people may
think he's the one doing it, and vice versa. I
don't want to, I don't want to know Softy out
(34:19):
there embarrassing me. I embarrass myself enough. If there was
a second Dick Fane out there and that guy's taking
heat from people, would you want to be associated with other?
Speaker 5 (34:28):
But if he had a million followers like it might
raise the Q rating of Michael F. Florio right, because
he's certainly not as big a name.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
All right.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Steven SUSA gonna join us next, and then Will Rogers
coming up four twenty eight talking about what happened against
the Koubs on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Right here on ninety three three KJRFM
