Speaker 2 (00:22):
Now with you, here's Zuftie and Dick.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Alright, boys and girls, we got football game tonight. Pregame
four thirty kickoff at five from Brazil Eagles Packers. Here
the game right here on ninety three to three kJ arfm.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
And it's a night's game. Is anything like last night's game?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Tonight's going to be a doozy in South Polow joining
us right now on the radio show. He's big in
South Polo Man, really big down there. They love him,
they love themselves from Huey Millan and he joins us
right now on the year.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How are you man? Oh you jokers, I'm doing great.
What's happening that much?
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Well?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
I want to give you a prop.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
First of all, because my buddy Katherine Clark, super lawyer
in Seattle, by the way. Good friend of mine put
out the Quintin Moore play on Twitter a couple days
ago and it went viral. You actually were on with
Chuck and Buck on Monday morning and said, dude, go
watch the play. Weave Re State had a guy leave
the sideline to make the tackle on Quintin Moore. I
(01:12):
sent that to Jay Strickerts, you know Jay, the former
referee for the Pac twelve, and he said it was
an egregious air. I mean, dude, Quentin Moore is not
lucky he didn't blow his acl out on that play.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Well, you know the thing about it is, here, Quinn
Moore's running a shallow cross from north to south. I
say that because of course Weaber was on the south
sideline and here our quarterback Will Rogers, he's looking at
his own coverage and he said, well, that looks nice
and juicy. There's plenty of room for run after catch.
(01:42):
There there's no defenders out there, plenty of grass. Let
me throw it to Quinn Moore. Well, all of a sudden,
the eleventh man, because the ball was snapped with ten,
The eleventh man comes into the zone after the plays
already started, and blows the guy's knee out. I'm like,
I had to confess on Monday. I said, look, I
don't know exactly what the rules are, but I know
(02:03):
that ain't right, and that ain't legal, and that ain't permissible.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And here we go. I mean, we can kind of
make light of it.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
But when you get down from Quintin Moore, I'll tell
you what I had already to that point put on
my note so many times. Eighty eight on his block,
eighty eight on his block, eighty eight like he was
really dominating the edge there, and eighty five wasn't bad either,
but eighty eight was putting on a clinic And so
you know, big loss for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, that's unfortunate that you know, your two big losses,
one from the Huskies and you're tending NUOSU for the Seahawks.
Both got injured on cheap plays. I mean, that's that's rough.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But here are the good news from that game.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I mean, Jonah Coleman, you know, absolutely best running back
debut of my lifetime, first one hundred yard back in
sixty four years.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
So it's the best of your lifetime too. I'm wondering.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I know it's only one game, but we've seen Jonah
Coleman run before. I'm wondering, when's the last time we've
saw a running back for U dub Wise, that was
better than Coleman because the last drafted was Miles Gaskin
in the seventh round. Yeah, sank was the last high
pick in the second round. But running backs were going
way higher back then. So you know, what do you
see in this guy as far as not only for
(03:14):
this year, but just as an as an NFL running back?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, and you throw Polk in there.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
He was undrafted, I believe.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Yeah, right, And so I don't know what Coleman's going
to run at the forty. That's going to be real
pivotal to where he gets drafted. But it reminded me
on Monday, I was making the comparison having played with
Emmitt Smith. You know, Emmett was at a time with
Barry Sanders. Emmett didn't have the flash that Barry Sanders did.
I don't know who did, who ever did, but but
(03:43):
Emmett had this incredible vision and we would marvel, particularly
watching the end zone copy of just how he would
bend to the right area. He had a clairvoyance to
his running style and and you know, of course he
was a short guy. Emmett had about five eight, and
and Jonah Coleman.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I mean.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
They listen at five to nine, as I said Monday,
If he's five nine, I'm Victor wemen Yama.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I mean that guy's I mean.
Speaker 7 (04:10):
That's I thought we were having Victor wemen Yama, right,
So I think he's you know, five six is five set,
you know, kind of Maurice Jones drew in terms of
his stature, but the vision, the jump cuts, the later ability,
the experience was just you know, coming off the tape
and off the screen, and and for those at the
(04:30):
stadium right, you know, fifteen or fifty.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yards he averaged.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
You know, there's an Arizona team that was in the
rebuild six point six yards per touch on run attempts
and and over nine yards per touch on receptions. I mean,
this guy, he produces a thick guy, great instincts, apparently durable.
I don't know, fun you got to answer your question, Dick,
I don't know how far you have to go back.
I'd say Corey Dillon for sure, I'd stop at nineteen
(04:58):
ninety six. But from that point on, there's no slam
dunk in my mind. I'm not even sure that that
that Gaskin would be a slam duncan in that requestion, what.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Did you make it the way where Rogers looked?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hm?
Speaker 6 (05:12):
I think so, so, I think, And I'm I'm glad
that Jetfish and take his authority, not mine. But Jetfish
is lighting him more, maybe to build up his confidence.
But I'm looking at his grade sheet. I don't think
we have the time to go through it. But but
there there was a lot of minuses, or at least
a handful of minuses there. He did have a couple
(05:33):
of nice throws the wheel route up the sideline in
the third quarter of the play action, corner route outbreaking
route to the north sideline. Dave, you were down there,
so so he had a couple of nice rips. But
I think from you know, standpoint of of some missus
forcing the ball, I think I think he was just okay.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
How about Demon Williams? It was just a quarter, a
little over a quarter. Could you make anything of what
you saw from him?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Well, but I can see him someday being really electric.
And Jetfish is not inside to play shorter quarterbacks, and
you know, provided they have that athleticism, you know the
ball comes off his hand jumps. I'm not sure how
innately accurate is. I'm not saying he's inaccurate, but so
many people say mechanically is where the breakdown happens with accuracy.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I don't personally believe that.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
As a guy who's looked at the position for fifty years,
I think that accuracy because targets are moving on a
football field different than the mit For a baseball pitcher,
that's static accuracy. Quarterbacks have to have dynamic accuracy where
you're leading guys. I think it has more to do
with a processing part of your brain, right brain, you know,
(06:46):
to use an aviation term vectoring. Or if we went
out skeet shooting and you said, all right, now we're
going to hit this moving target, but with the asterisk
that if we did skeet shoot, we would follow the
barrel with the skeet right barrel of the shotgun. Imagine
if he said, well, that's against the rules. You have
to just fix the shotgun out in front and then
(07:08):
pull the trigger and kind of estimate when the skeied
is gonna arrive. Like that's that part of quarterbacking. Of
quarterbacking is is I think the most important part of accuracy.
I still have some questions with Williams about that. But
he's a young guy and and that aspect can develop
as you understand coverage is more and you you feel
(07:28):
more comfortable.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, how about the defense? Overall thoughts on the defense
from what you saw from you, dub I thought they
got pushed around. I would say this, Durfy, right number five, Yep.
I'm gonna just say, and I'm gonna say this out
of love. What does the Bible say, correct the wise man,
for he will love you, Do not correct a fool,
for he will despise you.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
I'm gonna assume he's a wise guy. I'm and that
sounds funny, a wise guy. I'm gonna consume, assume that
he's wise. I'm gonna just challenge you, Durfy. We need
to see more rage from you. You have it in you,
what God gave you in that body. And then I
can see that that that's that's point one. One point
(08:08):
two is I see how hard he works just by
looking at his body. I mean, that guy is a
Bosa clone. There is more in that man. And if
you know, Durfey, tell him there's a guy that that's
challenging him in the best of intention. He has more
rage in him, He has more anger, he has more dominance.
(08:29):
And when I see a Weaber State tight endshadowing him
in pass blocking, that's not good enough. When I see
him after uh uh, you know a week a week
or two ago after after we had a with the Seahawks,
remember in was it the Tennessee game? Who was uh?
(08:51):
Was it the tennis? I don't know, but what we
had a we had a defensive end. I know Derek Call,
Derek Call absolutely buckled. Oh yeah, I mean there was
this violence. He eliminated the space and he absolutely went
head hunting and just dropped a dude. There was a
(09:12):
similar opportunity for Durfey and he kind of just kinda
he kind of went timid. And there's just more that
he's gotta He's gotta get a fire on him.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
There.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
He has a chance. He needs more rage. He can
be dominant. But the rest of the front seven, Okay,
I'm kind of concerned. When the big boys, uh start
playing hardball in the Big ten, I'm not sure how
our front seven is gonna hold up.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Offensive line, they played a little Switcheroo in the in
the first half of that game.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
So did you did you like the Switcheroo? And overall?
What did you see from him.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
With the offense?
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The offensive line?
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Oh? Well, I liked uh. I liked the right tackle
as a party at right tackle. He played ten snaps
of left tackle at like that. He had bad to
bad back to back bad whiffs fifty seven in right guard.
I don't even know how to say his name, let
me not. Yeah, yeah, that guy looks athletic. I thought
(10:11):
the offensive line looked more athletic than I thought they would.
I like, the center seemed to be in control, so
so I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, you're always putting
the filter through the lens that you're watching is okay,
it's wivery state. What's gonna happen when you play Michigan
and you know sc and and all the rest of them.
So I don't know, but I think that they just
looked on the hoof better than I thought, right, just athletically.
(10:35):
I thought their feet will see if you know how
they how they how they continue to work. You know,
they gave up a sack in the third quarter to
Will Rogers, where a very ill conceived scheme in my
part where they're down blocking on the left side and
then they're trying to wheel the center back out. I've
seen it, it's not like I've never seen it, but
they didn't execute it. And he had a free runner
(10:56):
that ripped Will Rogers' face off. And so, you know,
the those type of things, if they're going to use those,
I don't want to call them exotic, but relatively rare
blocking schemes. You know, usually only see a team do
it a couple of times a game. If you're going
to do that type of thing, you better get the
execution figured out so that you don't get your quarterback
(11:18):
on the ir Well.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
I saw Will Monday and his face wasn't there, And
now I know why you got to Yeah, you gotta.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Wrap off right off. Then the third door I'll show
you to take on.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Hugh Mellen was with us on the radio show Oh
do Factor Fiction coming up and about twenty minutes here,
but here, let's go to the Seahawks game on Sunday.
Uh Dick and I were talking off the off the ear,
excuse me, kind of what we're looking for, and you know,
I guess for me, I'm just looking to see for
a defense that relies on so much elite communication. The
Huskies did not have a lot of communication issues, it
(11:50):
felt like to the naked eye on Saturday. And I'm
wondering what we'll see from this defense on Sunday. Like
you've gone out of your way to talk about how
difficult it is to communicate. In McDonald's defense, elite communicators
is what they're looking for. Will we see an elite
communication performance or will we see maybe some breakdowns? For
Game one on Sunday, we'll probably see some breakdowns. And
(12:11):
remember in McDonald's first year back with Baltimore as their
defense coordinator, Remember in twenty twenty one, he had been
with Michigan just for one season.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yea had kicked our ass by the way. Yeah, and
he took by the way he took the Wolverines. They
had been ninety third in the NCAA out of one
hundred and thirty teams, ninety third in points surrendered the
year before he got there. In just one season, he
went from ninety third to seventh, cut in half thirty
four and a half points a game to seventeen point three. Right, So,
(12:42):
now he comes back in twenty twenty two, had a
little growing pains early in the year, but over the
second half of the season in twenty twenty two, the
Ravens were number one in the NFL fewest points allowed
in that second half again of McDonald's first year, and
then last year twenty twenty three for the entire season,
and they were number one in the NFL. But it
did take a little bit of a time to get
(13:04):
the foothold, so I wouldn't be surprised about that. And
then the other part is, I know Baltimore's got pretty
good fans. But the communication challenge paradoxically, and it makes
perfect sense at home, the challenge is greater, right because
everything's got to be nonverbal, because the twelves are losing
their lungs to try and disrupt the opposing quarterback, and
here we're trying to have this complex level of communication.
(13:27):
You know, that's in no way to assert that the
twelves need to back off. And Mike McDonald would bristle,
you know, violently if if.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
He thought that I was I was suggesting that. Of
course I'm not.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
But there is a challenge there, and and you know,
I think you get a little bit of a soft
landing with a ricky quarterback and a team in the
Broncos that that has a sixty seven point six million
dollar dead cap assigned only to Russell Wilson. So there
there are they not playing with one hand tied behind
(13:59):
their back the whole year.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, just financially right.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So so they may be good, but I don't expect
the Broncos to be uh real formidable and in Week one,
although I probably said something similar to that against the
Rams a year ago.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So let's make sure they're they're on point, man.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
How do the Bronco players, the Bronco veterans feel that
bone Nicks was named the captain before he's ever played
a game in the NFL, So well, they may have.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Voted for him. I'm certain they vote. Yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I don't think you can make that assumption, Dave. I
think a lot of teams I'd go so as so
far as to say is that probably most of them did.
But if if it was a player vote, then I
think they'd be fine with that. I think this in Knicks,
you've got a guy, a very mature guy. I mean,
let let's let's set aside the Oregon thing for a second.
(14:52):
An immensely likable guy, very grounded. You saw just his style,
very even keel guy.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
He's made. You know, he got married in college.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
There's a maturity there, you know, strong Christian faith that
that football doesn't dominate his life. So he's not gonna
get all wigged out. And you know, his dad was
a prominent high school coach, so he's been around ball
his whole life. And you know, I made the point
this morning if you go back to the twenty nineteen seasons,
(15:22):
justin Herbert's last game as an Oregon Duck in that
final year for him, his senior year, he played against Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
He was the Rose Bowl MVP.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
The first game of that particular season, the Ducks opened
in the Kickoff Classic in front of a national, you know,
huge audience against Auburn, and Bo Nicks, as a true freshman,
was making his first start. Halfway through the third quarter, well,
Oregon was up twenty one to six, and ESPN probability
had it at ninety four point zero chance, that percent
(15:52):
chance that Oregon would win that game. Well, Nicks got
caught on fire and then with the game on the line,
engineer to drive converted a fourth and three with his
legs and through the game winning touchdown pass to beat
Oregon with nine seconds remaining.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So you know that's his first start in college.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
Yeah, I don't think he Look, he may be stifled
mentally and we may kick their ass, and I hope
that happens. But I don't think this is going to
be some guy that's going to be overcome by nerves.
I don't believe that at all.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, i'll tell you what, we should love this guy
in Seattle. He beats Oregon with Auburn.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, he gets beat three times at Oregon against the Dogs,
and now he may get beat by the Hawks as
a Denver Bronco. By the way, confirmed the players did
vote for the captains in Denver Courtland quickly.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
On those those Oregon losses, because you know, thankfully we
can say the bow nick is owing three against Washington,
but he put up thirty four to thirty three and
thirty one points. I won't go through his individual numbers,
but he had good games in that. You know, it
wasn't like like like he's throwing three picks and they're
getting beat thirty seven to nine.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You know, I like the guy. I like him.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I like the way he reacted to the Week six
loss with a host game presser.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He was awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
And then the fact that he even showed up for
the Fiesta Bowl against Liberty when a lot of guys
would have bolted to go to the NFL and get
ready for the draft.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I like bow Nicks a lot. I just hate the
fact that he's a duck and he plays for Denver.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
But let's come back and talk more about what we're
gonna see on the offensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Ryan Grubb making his debut.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hugh is the offensive coordinator for the Seahawks on Sunday
against the Bronco defense. What you're looking for maybe some
things that Dick and I are looking for as well
from this offense. That's all coming up Factor Fiction brought
to you by the Ameral Queen Casino. We'll give you
our pick courtesy of Jackson Feltz at three thirty five
this afternoon, and then pregame four to thirty kickoff at
five from Brazil Packers Eagles coming up live at five
(17:42):
courtesy at Westwood One.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Right here on ninety three three kJ RFM.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Now back to the Washington State Beat Commissions Football Friday
with Softie and Dick on your home for the NFL
Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
All right, boys and girls, least sterly, we'll join us
at three forty five. Kickoff of the Eagles Packers at
five pregame four to thirty factor fiction brought to you
by the Emerald Queen coming up in sixteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
What more do you want? More? Hum milling?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Okay, he rejoins us here, how are you man doing well? Guys,
let's finish other than having.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
A senior moment with well, that's gonna call yeahurfy lo God.
I'm sitting there going fifty eight fifty eight fifty because
as a player, you watch all this tape and you
just know numbers and then and then you say, well, okay,
now I got to convert numbers to names.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I don't know really in.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
The end, doesn't matter, It's okay. You just beat yourself
up way too much, all right, So what do we got?
What you go to do is go out and get
like a real job, like just go get go, go
get a jack of like RB's or Wendy's or Jack
in the box.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Just something to do with your time. Smirring out loud.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Hey, uh, let's wrap the conversation up on bow Nicks.
Anything you want to add to that conversation.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Well, I think it's interesting and looking at what the
Broncos were a year ago. This will this will intrigue
some of our listeners. Russell Wilson, So do you remember this,
the Seahawks playing in the Super Bowl in Detroit? Of
course you do, right, remember that that's been a minute.
That was two thousand and five, two thousand and five.
(19:08):
Russell Wilson last year had twenty seven percent of his
passes behind the line of scrimmage. If you go to
five hundred and nine qualifying qualifying quarterbacks since two thousand
and five, including and since two thousand and five, that
is the number one highest rate, highest rate five hundred
(19:29):
and nine quarterbacks. How about five yards within five yards
of the line of scrimms sixty two percent of his passes.
That's number two out of five hundred nine. And then
and this is where I say, and we're all NBA fans,
we know what the NBA offense is. It's lands or
it's three pointers, right, So so it went with Russell Wilson.
So you had these lands, just the intermediate part, just
(19:53):
twenty six percent of his passes. We're between five and
fifteen yards. These are air yards from the line of scrimmage,
twenty six percent. That was again the number one lowest
out of five hundred and nine quarterbacks since two thousand
and five. Just nothing in the intermediate range. And there's
all kinds of numbers talking about how far his deep
throws highest. He was the seventh highest rated last year
(20:16):
twenty plus yards or more. So everything was either just
you know, at the line of scrimmage or behind near
the line scrimmage or deep down the field. Just had
no ability to hit the intermediates. And everybody said that
about air to close the point bo Nix, Well, he
doesn't throw the ball down the field. And when you
go air yards ten plus yards or more. Nicks last
year twenty eight percent, So that doesn't maybe sound very high.
(20:39):
Twenty eight percent of his past ten yards are more
from lion scrimmage if you compare it to Gino last year,
Drew Brees from twenty eighteen, that's the last good year
Breese had with Sean Payton. Sean Payton obviously the connection there,
and then Patrick Mahomes from a year ago. Take those
three comps, they were at either twenty seven or twenty
(21:00):
six percent. So bow Knicks is basically right at that
exact and actually one percent more inclined to throw the
ball down the field.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So I when Sean Payton.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
Looks at the tape of bow Knicks at Oregon, he
doesn't think he's throwing two lateral and in fact what
he liked about it. Whereas Russell Wilson had had three
point one seconds time to throw, held the.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Ball the number one longest in all the.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
NFL quarterbacks last season, here Nicks was at around two four,
the lowest of the six quarterbacks who were drafted in
the first round. So just all kinds of things that
when you get away from the traditional statistics, you just
really see, oh boy, Russell Wilson palm to the forehead,
and then you say, bow Knicks is exactly the panacea
(21:45):
for some of the aggravation that Peyton had with Russell Wilson.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Well, here Bowneck's gonna be thrown into a cornerback group
that I was reading an article by The Athletic a
couple of weeks ago that calls this corner back group
potentially the seahawks best ever cornerback group. Now that's saying
a lot when you had the Allegian of Boom. But
who wrote that the athletic who.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
I don't know what the person's name was.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Well, but I think what they're talking about though, maybe
since then. I think what they're talking about, though, is
the depth of the corners. Obviously you don't have a
Richard Sherman on this step, but would you maybe the
next two corners, would you draft Spoon and Riek Woolan
over any other corner that.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
The Legion of Boom had, Maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I could see.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
I don't find it far fetch because if you know,
let's see how many reps Spoon plays outside. You know,
he played both in the preseason, and we expect him
to play a lot in the nickel because he just
has that skill set, the tenacity and the instincts and
what have you. But if if we're calling him a
corner and then Rieke Woolan has Richard Sherman type attributes.
(22:49):
In fact, in every respect he's superior to to h
Richard Sherman Athletically, he's taller, longer, arms, runs faster, and
jumps high and I'm as big a fan of Richard
Sherman as there was. I mean, I just say, I'd
walk around to the media at tran Cap and I go,
can you remember a past being completed?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Two?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (23:10):
To Richard Sherman's man this entire camp, Like, no, I
don't remember it.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
And so he was great.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
But on the other side, there was a drop off
and and was a little bit of a revolving. You know,
you had Brandon Browner and you had uh yeah, Maxwell
Buyer Maxwell and so yeah, and so I think that
if you're you're talking about two of these guys being potential,
absolutely have the ability to be Pro Bowl corners.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
What was the claim again, Dick, that the guy made
in the athletic Would they say.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
That it could be the best cornerback group?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Cornerback group? Okay, gotcha? I thought you second, that's OK.
Because there ain't no camera earl on this football team. Yeah,
Hugh Mellin's with us, Hugh watching Ryan Grubb. But you
we kept remarking every weekend, God, he's got receivers wide
open every play. I don't expect that to happen in
the NFL like that, but can it kind of happen
(24:05):
in the NFL like that.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
It depends on what kind of protection they get. I
don't think you're gonna get this separation. And by the way,
when Geno came out this week and said I expect
DK to be the number one receiver in the NFL,
let's see if they can play that into fruition. You
know one thing, you know, DK, when I look at him,
(24:28):
he doesn't have justin Jefferson's body control. Like in barrel racing,
when you see the gals riding the horses, there's some
body control that the very best guys DeVante Adams. You know,
I'm not saying as he's at that level, but you
know the way Derrick Henry in his prime, maybe there
was attributes he didn't have, but he was still a horse,
(24:51):
right because of the freaking size, right, And so I
think Metcalf has those attributes. And by the way, last year,
PFF look it up. I'm looking right at the spreadsheet.
DK Metcalf's. This is route grade, not overall grade, route
running grade. DK Metcalf was twenty one points higher than
(25:11):
Lockett than Tyler Lockett. Now you think of oh, Tyler
Lockett's he's the route guy extraordinary, right, So I think
there's a hell of a lot on the bone there,
and it's not been a disappointment. I mean, DK has
only been you know, he's the third guy in history
to have nine hundred yards and five touchdowns his first
five years, and the other two guys were Randy Moss
and and AJ Green. So it hasn't been a disappointment.
(25:35):
But I think they can ratchet this thing up and and.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
With you know, Jackson Smith and Jigba.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
He was one hundred and forty second out of one
hundred and fifty targeted wide receivers in terms of yards
per attempt beyond the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They were just throwing him the shallow stuff.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
He has plenty of ability to get the ball down
the field more and I think Ryan Grubb's gonna look
for that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I love it all right.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
I can't wait to see it on Sunday. You and
Dick will be on the air after the game. Good
stuff a week man, Thanks Mattjoy.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, hemail in Factor Fiction brat to by the
Emeral Queen Casino. Right now we're.

the betting capital of the Northwest. Make the beautiful new
WEEQUC sportsbooky your home all football season long. Fact door
Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
You know what I love, by the way, in factor fiction, guys.
I love when we're not even to Friday and there's
already a loser in factor fiction and it's not our show,
shocking who bought the Ravens Baltimore?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Chuck Powell already zero to one on the year. How
about that?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So we have rolled so far with Oregon, We've rolled
with Carolina and the Coogs.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Jackson Felts is up.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
We're gonna see what kind of run the young buck
can go on this year, See if he can keep
his head above water. Jackson Factor Fiction braught to by
the Ameral Qui caersina, what do you got?
Speaker 10 (27:05):
I was going to pick against the Tennessee Titans, but
then I saw Jamal Adams is out, So now.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I can't do that. I can't do that, No, no.
Speaker 10 (27:13):
No, I love picking games that are on the actual
night of because it's fun, you get to go home,
you actually get to watch something for something meaningful here
in Factor fiction. And we have a game between the
Packers and Eagles here on ninety three point three tonight,
a pregame of four thirty, and I will be watching
that because I am going to be going with the
Philadelphia Eagles minus two against the Packers. A lot of
(27:34):
this is based in the fact that I think this
hype around Jordan Love is just wrong.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I don't believe any of this hype around Jordan Love.
I don't.
Speaker 10 (27:42):
I think he's good, but I don't think he's the great,
great quarterback that everybody believes. I Meanwhile, look at the
Eagles have improved on offense. Saquon Barkley was a really
good ad. I think the defense is still really good
and only two so they just have to win by
a field goal. I think they win in Brazil to night.
So that's that's just what I listen and listen a
(28:04):
lot of a lot of is it just Jordan Love?
Like I don't buy Jordan Love, and so many people
are talking up Jordan Love like he's the second Coming,
He's the next Aaron Rodgers. And as good as he
was for a few games at the end of last year.
I get the bit you guys are doing, but I
just I just don't buy Jordan Love.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Okay, I mean, let me ask you, would you have
rather if you're the Green Bay Packers, would you have
rather seen Jordan Love excel in the first half and
struggle in the second half, or excel in the second
half and struggle in the first half.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And I don't think it matters either way. He was
a bad quarterback.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
In the one time.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
A fan, I'd rather see the second half?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Well, yeah, you're fan, right, how's seventeen touchdowns and two interceptions?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Treat?
Speaker 9 (28:42):
Well?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Didn't they just give him a fat contract because of Now?
Speaker 5 (28:44):
I'm with Jackson.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I'm not gonna I'm not saying that Jordan Love is
an elite, top five NFL quarterback. But they don't need
an elite, top five NFL quarterback to beat the Eagles.
They just need a good quarterback to beat I disagree
with that, all right, Well we'll find out tonight.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Jackson's rolling with the Eagles minus two against the Green
Bay Packers in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Go home, watch the game.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
See if you can tell how many reporters have their
wives tweeting for them from America because Brazil has blocked
Twitter U four nine four to five one. Fact if
you agree with Jackson's pick of the Eagles minus two
fiction if you disagree right now to four nine four
to five one. Every day we do it four times
seven thirty five, eleven thirty five, two thirty five, three
thirty five. You got twelve minutes to get your pick
(29:25):
into four nine four to five one. Most picks right
by the end of the year wins ten thousand dollars.
You get one pick right a week, you're eligible for
the weekly prize of a thousand bucks, all courtesy of
the Emerald Queen Casino, the entertainment capital of the Pacific
Northwest Philadelphia. Minus two Lee Sterling, We'll see what he
thinks of Jackson's selection next. On ninety three to three KJRFM,
(29:53):
we want to make.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
A littlestra pocket change for this weekend.
Speaker 9 (29:55):
I do well look no further than Teramount Sports least
did tell you all right.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Kind of a disappointing opening week for our old man
here two and three in week number one. We got
to get off to a better start and make up
for it In week number two, Lee Sterling, our handicapper
from Paramount Sports with us Lee, how are you man?
Speaker 8 (30:16):
I'm good. I'm good, not great on the show. Had
a couple close losses, but two big plays. I texted
them to you. You did two nice winners Nebraska yep
and Mike Keynes yep.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
You hit them both, No question about that.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Well what do you think, by the way, quickly of
Jackson Feltz's selection of Philadelphia minus the two against green
Bay and our Factor fiction contest.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
Big loser?
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well what is all on the same boat.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
This is a professional. He knows people, and if he
does it, they know people. All right, let's get to it.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Then our selections for the week Oregon back home after
getting pushed around by Idaho. My god, they're given nineteen
and a half against Boise State this weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
What do you see there?
Speaker 8 (31:03):
I think they're gonna start putting it together. Sometimes it's
not how good you are as far as covering, it's
how you match up against an opponent. Boys, he only
played one spread offense last year with talent. It was
the Dogs and they got thrashed. They gave up four
hundred and ninety passing yards. I think Dylan Gabriel is
going to put it all together here. And the Duck's
(31:26):
pretty good against the run. I mean, no one ran
for more than one hundred and seventy five yards on them,
and that's how Ashton genty. Really They've got to travel
on the ground to have any chance here. I like
the Ducks here forty five to twenty.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
All right.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
The big one week number two, Texas at Michigan. I've
seen now Texas all the way up to a touchdown
favorite over Michigan.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Is that where you're what you're seeing as well? Seven
points yep.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
And I think two weeks from now we're going to
say why wasn't this line double digits? This Mischigon team
has no quarterback. I think Georgy should have been the starter.
I don't get why they're going well. I do understand
why they're going with Davis Warren. They don't want to
turn the ball over, but they only had four scoring drives,
two field wolves and two touchdowns that covered from twenty
(32:15):
six to forty seven yards. I think both defenses are
about the same. The public's going to take Michigan here.
They're figuring home underdog. Really good defense, but Texas is
too deep everywhere, and they've won seven straight non conference
road games. Here yep, Texas thirty to sixteen.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I like it all right, back home against Eastern Michigan,
the Eagles coming to town tomorrow at twelve thirty. Huskies
given twenty five.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
Cole Snyder, I mean, what's this guy doing? He started
off at Rutgers for three years, then he moves on
to Buffalo. He is a good season, and now he's
at Eastern Michigan. Must be following some coach or some girlfriend.
I don't get it. So Washington started slow last week
watching the game, but look better as the game progress
(33:05):
and that happens when you have so many new faces.
Now Washington seventeen to six and one against the spread
versus non conference competition. Eastern Michigan is a road dog
thirty four, sixteen and one, but I think that dead
Washington's gonna pull away late here, Dogs forty five to ten.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
All right, Monday night football on a good one. San
Francisco giving four and a half against the New York
Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
Yeah, I think the Jets are gonna be able to
run the ball in San Francisco think that Breese Hall
might be the best running back in the NFL. He's
tough short yardage and he's one of the few guys
that can break off still seventeen to eighty yard touchdown runs.
Their defense might be the best in the NFL. I
(33:57):
think the line's a little too much here. I think
the Jets been holding tight. I think they're going to
air it out also hit on some big plays with
Garrett Wilson run team favored. That's out right, twenty seven
to twenty four.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
That'd be a nice treat to start the season for
Seahawks fans. They got Denver at home on Sunday the
last time the Broncos came to town, and now they
get him again in the opener, bon Knicks versus Gino
Smith Seahawks given six at lumin Sunday.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
What do you think right?
Speaker 8 (34:26):
I think the Broncos have a big time weakness, and
that is run defense allowed a league worse five yards
per carry last year. So if I was the Hawks,
I would run Kenneth Walker early and often give him
twenty twenty five carries here. I do think, though, that
bon Knicks is the right quarterback for this system. Some
(34:48):
people were saying, well, the Giants should have taken him
with a six beck. I don't think so. I don't
think he fits their system. So I think that Sean
Payton and bon Knicks are going to be tied at
the hip here. I think he's going to make play
throwing in also running, but not enough. I think the
line's a little too high. I'm gonna say Seattle wins
twenty seven to twenty three, but Denver covers.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
All right, gotcha take the Broncos in the points, he
says it. The Hawks win, all right. You like Wazoo

Lee Sterling with us on the radio show Paramount sports

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Who likes the Oregon Duck's big. He likes Texas by
double digits at Michigan. He likes the Huskies pulling away
late to cover. He likes the Jets stright up, had
a boy against San Francisco, and he likes the Hawks
by four so Denver covers in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
You know what I like?
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I like an NFL game on a Friday night, after
