Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think my favorite Humilan drop. By the way, listen
to you, You're not interesting. How many times do you
think as we transition here to our friend hu Milan,
does Hugh Milan actually turn on our show and think,
you know what, I'm not going to listen to this.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
This is not interesting. I bet he says that every
single day.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yet yet he never says it to us because he
doesn't want to hurt our very nice here he is
our friend, Huey Millen little more at four.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
How are you pal? I'm doing great? How could I
not be?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
If you're a Commander's fan, if you're a Blue Jay fan,
you're probably right.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Let's not do a commander's post game.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hey, why don't we?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Uh, let's just kind of start there by the way.
We a lot of there's a lot of Hawk stuff
to dive into. But I know a lot of Commanders,
fans and media were ripping Dan Quinn for leaving Jayden
Daniels in the game, and d Q actually came out
and a clip it will hear later and admitted it said,
I blew it. He never should have been in the
game at that point. That's that that's that's my fault.
And it may have cost him a season. How how
(00:59):
critical at the time were you of dan Quinn for
leaving Jayden Daniels in the game.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, I wasn't critical. I think that's just ball and
dan Quinn. I know him a little bit, and everybody
knows dan Quinn loves dan Quinn because he's that kind
of guy. But you know, I just looked. I picked
since twenty twenty, just a random year, because it's the
beginning of the decade. I went back and I filtered
how many starting quarterbacks were in the game when their
(01:28):
team was down by thirty one or more points, like
the Commanders were with under eight minutes to go in
the football game. In those four and a half years,
there have been twenty nine starters that have had at
least one pass attempt. That's two hundred and forty three
drop back passes. There's been fifteen sacks, two unre and
twenty four pass attempts attempted by Do you recognize these names?
(01:54):
Would would these guys be a concern? Tom Brady, yeah,
Bo Jared Goff, Ben Roethlisberger, Gino Smith when he was
a Seahawk, Russell Wilson two attack of Alua Justin Herbert,
Bryce Young, cam Ward Kirk Cousins again twenty nine. Those
(02:14):
are just some of the names that are franchise quarterbacks
would have been in the game. I looked at Tom
Brady one I got well, I got to see this,
and I went and watched. I watched him in twenty
twenty against the Saints. They were losing forty nine to nothing.
I think the score of the date was November eighth,
and early November of that year they won the Super
Bowl that year. He was in a game under eight minutes,
(02:38):
losing forty one to nothing and throwing the ball and
on one of his attempts he took too hard to
hits and just got dumped. He could have broken his
collarbone right then. And so I think for the critics
who have been on it, and again dan Quinn criticized himself,
as you know, there's a lot of layers to that.
(03:00):
But for those who've been ardently critical, were you ardently
critical on all of those those those occasions that I
just referenced where quarterbacks were in the game. The fact
is coaches leave the guys in the quarterbacks are competitors.
They want to be with their teammates. They want to
try and get something going, a little bit of something
(03:22):
good to end the game on, maybe get a touchdown
pass late, just to pull it, you know, so you
feel a little bit better about yourself going to work
on Monday. That's the reason why the teams leave these
guys in. So, no, I'm not going to after the
fact because he got hurt question him. I think the
bigger question is when you go back to when when
(03:42):
Jaydon Daniels came out that the idea of the skinny quarterback,
because there was the huge concern, Hey, how durable is
this guy going to be? That we can we can
broaden that to Devin Witherspoon. How durable is the skinny
dB going to be? Who throws his body around? And so,
you know, I don't think it's a coincidence that the biggest,
(04:03):
bulkiest quarterback in the NFL, Josh Allen, is the is
the most healthy because he's you know, he plays for
the Bills, but he happens to be a Buffalo getting
under center and and so I think that's an intriguing conversation.
But the idea that that Dan Quinn rolls, you know,
craps on that occasion Hey, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Hugh Seahawks offense against Commander's defense last night. Big picture,
how much of it was what Seattle was doing that
was so impressive offensively, and how much of it was
just a bad, old injured Commander's defense.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, I thought, just watching the tape man this Commander team.
They don't have a pass rusher, not good in the secondary.
I hate to see here, I'm throwing flowers. Everybody loves
dan Quinn didn't. I didn't see signs of good coaching,
their motivation. Bobby Wagner, bless his heart. On one of
my UH plays, I wrote down, Bobby Wagner fifty four
(05:03):
equals slow rookie. Obviously he's not a rookie, but his
recognition on a play where they put Jackson Smith and
Jig But in the backfield and ran him out on
a choice route against zone coverage. That was he was
hooking up in between a zone where Bobby Wagner had
the hook zone to his inside. Bobby should have been
expanding based on that formation. It was it was like
(05:26):
he was oblivious that number eleven was in the backfield.
So that was kind of a rookie reaction. And then
his movement just he just he just slug. It's kind
of painful because obviously I have memories of of when
he was a beautiful athlete running coast to code or
a sideline to signer line rather so, so, yeah, I
think it's tough. You know, the one one play in
(05:47):
the shows I've been on, I haven't broken down this
is here. Here would be an example of how how
Seattle outcast. So let's go to the Cody White sixty
yard touchdown. Right, everybody on that is drive after Sam
through the pick? Is that correct? Next drive?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Next?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Probably yes? Yeah, yeah, okay, So so on that play,
the commanders are in a in a three deep zone.
So Trey Amos is the corner on that. He's got
to stay deeper than the deepest. So you go play
action and you and then and then you see Cody
White he runs a corner out and and then you say, okay,
(06:26):
that's that's bad coverage. But you peel the layer one
more and you say, well, what kind of what else
was there? It was was Clint Kubiak trying to take
Dan Quinn to school in any other regard? And the
answer is yes, So Cody White who's a big receiver.
He motions downs that that gets a defense communicating hey,
(06:47):
watch the crack. Watch watch the crack. And now they
get into a formation that you say, well their play action, Well,
what what running play are they going to fake? Well,
they fake a play called duo where where everybody's down blocking,
including Cody White, would reduce. The term reduce is the
opposite of expand. Reduced means go closer to the ball.
(07:09):
Expand means go away. Simple as that, at the snap
of the ball, what does Cody White do? He reduces
justly like he would on the duo if he was
going to try and go down and root out a
safety in a in a single high defense, which it was.
So they have got so now we haven't even snapped
the ball yet and we've got the commanders thinking the
corner has got to be thinking duo. Now, what's What's
(07:31):
one of the challenges for a corner on duo is
it's it's a gap scheme play where everybody's down blocking
at the point of attack, but there's no puller from
the backside. So what the running back does is he
reads the middle linebacker and if the middle linebacker feels
he spills it to the outside. So it's one of
those plays where the corner can have a particular responsibility
(07:51):
because he's unblocked. As I said, the receiver is cracking
down inside and and he's the replacement for the crack
so he's going to be unblocked and expect the ball
to bounce to him on duo. So they so they
create up in these layers, a multiple look of duo
to the right, two trail amos side and now he
(08:13):
he sees he sees Cody White reduce inside and oh,
this must be dual and he and he flies up.
Well that's just enough in professional football to get the
job done. And now Cody White is banging over the
top of him wide open pass could Sam could have
completed left handed or blindfolded, wide open, makes the safety
(08:34):
miss and he houses it. So so it you know,
that's like multiple layers of why that play executed in
my opinion. So you know, I just broke down one play.
I could break down thirty more.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, we only have three hours left, bow, I understand that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But yeah, I said that for the reason to say, look,
look when you have a big score like that, Yeah,
that was a commander team that was, you know, just
got taken to the woodshed in the in coaching as.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, yes, in their own stadium.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I think I think it's important just to kind of
put into context you and Dick what we saw from
Donald So the four touchdowns and a perfect completion rate
on the first four drives of a game. The last
time a quarterback did that was Tom Brady in two
thousand and seven. And the last time we saw a
guy with four touchdowns and a perfect passer rating and
(09:28):
the first half of a primetime game was Michael Vick
for Philadelphia also at Washington in twenty ten. So we
may have seen the greatest first half ever from a
Seahawk quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Honestly, that's not hyperbole in that game last night. But
what is it?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And you've been breaking it down the marriage of him
and Kobiak Maybe you want to throw some flowers at
the offensive line deck or Hugh, I don't know, But
what is it about what Sam Darnold is doing right now?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
In general terms and deeps.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Tell whatever that led the last night's amazing performance.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Well, we'll get to the protection and it was great
and I've got some numbers to apply to that. But
I think in general, what you have is in JSN
a guy that has elite next level awareness and a
feel for how to get open, particularly in the middle
of the field. Sam Darnold is anticipatory. He put on
(10:29):
a master class of eye manipulation. He knew where he
wanted to throw the ball. But if you watch the
end zone copy, as the coaches do and as I
did all day, he's looking in areas knowing he's not
looking there for the purpose of, oh, I might want
to throw there. He's looking there just for the purposes
(10:51):
of moving defenders. And so he's getting guys open. And
by the way, the chief victim of him was probably
fifty four. Bobby was trying to say, Hey, I'm a veteran,
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm a little step slower. You know,
I'm just making an inference as to his mindset. So
let me, you know, let me just anticipate where you're
(11:13):
gonna go with the ball. And and it was like
Sam had an understanding that, and he says, I'm just
gonna move fifty four or wherever I want to move him.
It was like a joystick. And he was doing that
to other defenders as well, and so I think that
you know, I've touched on some of the scheme, the
second third layers of the onion on on the scheme dominance.
I think the the anticipation, the next level understanding. You
(11:36):
got a young receiver and Tory Horton that's giving you
everything you could ever want from a fifth round rookie.
You know, his first touchdown I don't think was a
great route. That was a hard route to get open
that all of the the the credit goes to Darnold
on that boot where we went out to his left,
had to back up and throw to Horton. Just a
dime thrown with intense anticipation. I could argue that was
(11:58):
his most difficult throw of night, even more so than
the Arroyo touchdown, which Sam would tell you I underthrew
it by two feet. But the second touchdown by Horton,
where they're playing man and man but they're the free
safeties is bracketing, so they're in and out on on JSN.
Everybody else's single covered and he takes an inside release
(12:21):
from the point he's on the line of scrimmage. He's
susceptible to being jammed. Talking about Horton, he breaks to
the inside. Sam was still the defender, the young great
defender from Michigan. He thinks he's gonna run the over route,
that deep crossing route to the other side of the field,
so he overplays that. But nope, Horton had sold that.
But then he's breaking out to the corner. He's opened
(12:42):
by ten yards. You know, just just lay it out
there and you undress the play and all those factors
I just describe. You know, it's just a walk in touchdown,
but there's a lot that goes into that, you know,
including the coverage, the JSN drew on the play, the
man with the the bracket on one player being Jayson Hugh.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Maybe the only bad news coming out of the game
was Ernest Jones. Uh talk about the level of downgrade
without him and how much maybe is it minimized or
mitigated by the fact that just Mike McDonald just is
able to put new chest pieces in and it seems
like nothing ever breaks.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, he's he's done a hell of a job that way,
right Tyokotta. You know, I thought he was really sketchy
when he first played, and within a month now he's
just headed, you know, he's playing with with no indecision. Uh,
you know, he's taking good angles, he's playing with great aggression. Uh,
Drake Thomas, you know Somehowen's unseated, Uh Tyree Knight. And
(13:40):
and I think those are two examples of guys. You know,
it's a complex scheme. You gotta have great communication you
get you know, and and and so the instincts of
where these guys need to be you just see them.
So I think that that McDonald has a way of
coaching up who's ever in there. But it's a blow.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna mit it, you know,
uh uh, Ernest has really been playing well. And you know,
(14:02):
I can't speak with specificity to the communication piece that
he's been providing. I just know that a mic linebacker
with that kind of experience and what have you, is
going to be responsible for that as a general axiom.
And so you know, you just have to say they're
going to be depleted. But McDonald, you know, he relishes
the challenge to get guys up and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Okay, so let me just chime in.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Somebody once told me don't ask leading questions, but I'm
going to kind of maybe ask one here a little
bit of a way. I'm going to share an opinion
with you, and you tell me if I'm a moron,
which I'm sure you'll tell me I am at some point.
But Hugh, I just think one of the biggest, if
not the biggest, reasons why this offense is humming, is
because of this offensive line, which to me just looks
totally different.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I mean with great Zabel and Jalen Sundell. I know
you've been on Bradford. I thought he played okay last night.
But Sam Donald last year, in the first eight games
of the season in Minnesota, was sacked twenty five times.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
He's been sack nine times so far this year.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
My eyes, my idiot, amateur eyes, tell me this offensive
line's taken a gigantically well.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
They have in pass blocking, for sure, I think the
run blocking is still in question. And Anthony Bradford had,
to my eyes, clearly his best game, There's no question
about that. If he played like he did last night,
We're not even talking about Sam Bradford. And you know
I noticed that that PFF had him at a seventy
(15:30):
nine pass blocking great, that's like, by far his best
of the season. But you know, against Tampa Bay he
had a zero. I didn't even know you could get
a zero grade. You know, on thirty nine pass block snaps.
Against Houston he had a fifteen. That was the game before.
So we're not out of the woods on Anthony Bradford,
(15:51):
but this is not the week to get on him
or anybody. The protection was phenomenal. And I'm gonna put
some numbers. Now, I jump in the NFL stat portal,
and they have the time, and they have the time
to throw down to the tenth of a second. So
me being a nerd, I put in the spreadsheet. Okay,
I'm gonna put him into time bins. Okay, So I'm
(16:13):
gonna put all of them in, all the throws that
are under second. Then I'm gonna have a bin between
one and one and a half second, one and a
half to two, two to two and a half, et
cetsa right. I hope you understand what I'm saying. So
that's all Darnold's throws coming into the game last night.
Before the game, the biggest bin that he had been
(16:34):
in is the bin between two seconds and two point
four nine, essentially between two and two and a half seconds,
he had fifty seven attempts, and against Washington in that
bin he was three for three for thirty five yards. Okay,
when releasing the ball between two and two and a
half seconds, the second biggest bin that he's had all years,
two point five to three seconds essentially, and there was
(16:58):
thirty nine attempts averaged in that in that range three
point seven completions going into last night got me, Dick Fang,
we got We're so we're between two and a half
and three seconds and and we averaged three point seven
completions in that range. Last night. Donald goes eight for eight,
(17:20):
one hundred and forty nine yards and all four touchdowns
and a perfect one point fifty eight point three rating.
So that what does that tell me? First of all,
the NFL averages two point eight two, all quarterbacks, all throws.
So when Sam Donald can live in that in that
range two and a half to three, like the offensive
line gave him last night, he can be lethal. Just
(17:46):
give him the average time. And so you know, I've
had those beens sitting around all year. Havn't shared him
because it hasn't been relevant. It's kind of nerdy, but
I think it tells a story today about last night,
and it does tell a story. Beautiful job on the
offensive line, and and Seattle has the skill guys, including
(18:07):
obviously most importantly the quarterback who can he can he
can say, hey, look I can get to my my
my third or fourth guy. And by the way, Collinsworth
yesterday the play that he sewed on the video, hey,
he made a big deal about Darnold getting to his
third option. I would argue that that was his fourth
option because he had he had flat takeoff to his
(18:28):
left and then he had a dig checkdown to his right.
The checkdown on the dig after he turned it down,
the the flat takeoff combination, that would have been the fourth.
When he got to Barner on that play that that
Collinsworth was saying his third I'd say, Chris, you're the
best in the business, but I'm gonna I'm gonna see
your third option and raise you one to the fourth option.
(18:51):
So this is the stuff that that that these guys
can do if the offensive line performs. And God almighty
did they they yesterday. Very exciting, but they still got
a run block.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Uh, no doubt know. I got to see you. I'm
gonna I'm gonna interrupt you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There's this thing we have here called a clock at
the radio station, and yeah, we have to we have
to break it a certain time way. We're way past that,
so you hold tight. There's more to get to. There's
more meat on the Seahawks bone. We'll get to that. Uh,
maybe some thoughts on everything else happened over the weekend too.
You Millan rejoins next on ninety three to three kJ
(19:27):
r FM from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for
the Huskies, Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r F M.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
All right, we're back at Jimmy's on First, where, by
the way, I've been told by people the know there's
a new menu coming very very soon here at Jimmy's
on First. And there's two things, guys, that are adding
to the menu. I think all three of us. I'm
gonna speak for the two of you because if I
can't count on you to be excited about this, okay,
we got a major problem. You got me interested in
here met Paul sub and Ruben Sandwich.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh wow, okay, does that work for you?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Absolutely, okay, I'm just checking, just making sure you gotta
heartbeat there, guys. Super and solid option Pasta's options coming
as well. The new menu will be unveiled here in
a couple of weeks at Jimmy's On First. Hugh Millan
rejoins us on the radio show. Here we're talking about
a quarterback and Sam Darnold who is number three in
the NFL and QBR. We're talking about a football team
(20:32):
that is number three in the NFL and point differential
behind the Rams and the Colts. By the way, we're
talking about a wide receiver who is number one in
the NFL in passing yards or excuse me, receiving yards
and projected to go over two thousand this year at
sixteen point three yards per catch.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I don't think though, we're talking enough about the defense.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
This is a defense last night that pressured Jaden Daniels
on a career high fifty one percent of his passes,
including sixty one percent in the second half.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Is this scheme or is this talent?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
If you had to go one way or the other
with what Mike McDonald's defense has been doing since the
middle of last year, which seemed to be getting better
and maybe their best performance yet under him last night.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I think their talent would have them above average, but
not elite. I think that the combination of the this
scheme and the talent has them, you know, knocking on
the door of elite if they're not already there. And
and I just think that Mike McDonald has such a
(21:40):
clear vision of how pro football should look from the
defensive perspective. He knows it when he sees it, he
knows it when he doesn't see it, he knows it
how to fix it, he knows how to teach it.
I just, you guys know from day from the jump
I've been, you know, as high as a guy can be.
And by the way, I just love his just who
(22:01):
he is in this sense. I don't know him well.
I've had a couple of conversations, but he just strikes
me as a guy. You don't see these guys often
in many industries, but somebody who has immense confidence in
themselves and they know they have a clear vision, as
I said, but are so humble simultaneously in a way
that's not like lack of self confidence. I don't know,
(22:24):
I know it when I see it, And he's got it,
and he's got a damn good front seven. And Leonard
Williams has found the fountain of youth. He's got some youth.
You know, he doesn't have he doesn't have great edge prep.
You know, the home run hitter from the outside. But
he didn't have that in Baltimore either. He had Jadavian
(22:45):
Clowney on his fifteam and on the wrong side of
thirty he had uh oh jeez, Nick uh oh Man,
the guy from the Patriots. It'll come to me. But
both of his defensive ends were on the wrong side
of thirty on at least their fifth team, and that
yet they still led the NFL in sacks. And so
(23:05):
now he's doing it with all these simulated pressures and
uh you know last night time five plays where he
brought a dB. One of them was the interception. There's
only one completion for ten yards out of it, and
it's just enough to get the quarterback playing slow. And
(23:27):
that's what he specializes is making the quarterback think, for
we here, we just broke down quarterbacks into half a
second bins. He's trying to do exactly that. Just push
him one more bin later, half a second later, and
you play the odds you're gonna have a lot of
good things for you. Yeah, I could. I could talk
all night about what this guy's doing. I love him well.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Greg O Saul made an interesting comment with Ian on
Friday Hugh. He said he loves how opponent opponents specific
Mike McDonald is talk about more about that and how
much of a contrast maybe that was from Pete because
I mean it seemed like we just had Pete. You know,
he ran his thing and he knew he was going
to better be better than you at his thing.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah. Well, you know, first of all, you're going after
what what are their protection schemes that they throw on
on the tape. You know, for example, the interception that
Okada had beautiful. I mean, how about his vert on
that ground level camera right where he goes up he
looks like he's above the rim somehow is able to
toe dance thing. Okay, beautiful play. But I liked even
(24:33):
more when I watched the coaches tape, all the scheming.
So he has Ernest Jones come up balls on the
right hash and so this is what Jaden Daniels is
having to process. He's got Ernest Jones mugging up in
the A gap on the left side, so we know
we have to send the protection to the field to
our left. I'm gonna be everything I'm gonna say is
from Jade and Daniels perspective. So I gotta go, I
(24:55):
gotta I gotta make sure that I got Ernest Jones blocks.
So I'm gonna send my center to the left. But
I got Drake Thomas up in the up in the
B gap on the weak side, and so but I've
got a running back. I'm taking care of that. Okay,
So now it looked we don't know if it's gonna
be a man pressure. All these guys are gonna come.
(25:15):
There're certainly at the line of scrimmage. You have to
count for them coming. So now Ernest Jones backs out
and demark I think it was DeMarcus Lowentz on that
side the defensive end, yet was him on on my left?
They dropped off into zone. It's not a man it's
not a cover zero. It's not even a man pressure.
It's a zone pressure. But now to my weak side. Okay,
(25:38):
I got a running back for Drake Thomas. But they
have a cat They the Seahawks have a cat blitz
to my right. So now here comes Witherspoon coming in,
not off the edge, but he's looping in the b
gap between the guard and the tackle, which is open
because you already swallowed up the running back on that
(26:00):
side with the blitz on on Drake Thomas Meanwhile, okay,
so now Okada, because because I got a cat blit
blitz off my right. Okay, the safety's gonna go over
to the right side. I've seen that. Uh going back
to my Arizona State days. No, no, no, not so fast.
That's not just like him in his zone where he's
got the deeper pressure. That son of a bitch, Mike
(26:23):
McDonald he has, he has done. He has rolled the
coverage on a cat blitz. What does that mean? Okada
doesn't have the deep responsibility. He's got Klas, he's got
he's got the flat and we're we're and and and
those Seahawks they're taking Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
All.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Wait, he was way over here on damn, you're on
the left numbers. He is sprinting over to get over
the top of Okada. So Olkada can do what just
linger in the flat and just stand there and play.
Uh you know, eyeball the quarterback. And so now now
my receiver out here, I thought he was gonna break out,
he breaks in. You know, we're not used to seeing
(27:01):
cloud cloudish. Uh uh. It would would technically be a
sky because it's a strong safety. But we were not
seeing a two over the top of a cat. It's
usually one over the top of a cat. That is
a complex blitz pressure against a second year quarterback, and
he just throws it up and it's an easy pick.
I mean that. So so you asked me, is it
(27:23):
scheme or is it players? Well, the player made that
you know, jump forty inches and had an undescribable toe tap,
so you can't not give him credit. Witherspoon comes out
like he got shot out of a missile into the
B gap, totally untouched, and and he gets a you know,
he goes right into the chest of the quarterback. But
it's a it's a it's an immensely complex uhe scheme.
(27:48):
So so yeah, the answers both. And again I could
do thirty more plays, but yeah, Dave, tell me, we
only got one one segment.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So we have a we have don't we have to
fo We got to pay Jackson's salary.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Unfortunately we got to break you know.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
But but do you guys get that am I communicating
to you the course Mike McDonald is sniffing out he
knows he knew how the uh the commanders did directly
answered Dick's question. He knew how the commanders were going
to handle that particular blizz right well, and he knew
how it would be a problem.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We've talked about how Mike McDonald's scheme is going to
be the star of the show ever since he showed
up here. Star of the show. It's bigger than any
one player. All right, you have eleven guys working together,
no man more important than the other. Just pass the
ball five times before you shoot. You'll be fine, all right, Uh, Hugh,
great stuff, And we'll talk on Friday.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
With us.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Uh textimonials four nine, four five one and then Jackson
Bevans Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
There was a movement out there.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
The Genoites just did not want to see Geno Smith go.
They could not imagine letting Gino Smith go and then
bringing in Sam Darnold and maybe seeing this football team
play better than they did the year before. They were
non believers. We'll see if Jackson Bevans is now a
believer at five o'clock. Is he ready to admit his
wrongdoings and accept responsibility for his behavior at five o'clock
(29:17):
tonight
I think my favorite Humilan drop. By the way, listen
to you, You're not interesting. How many times do you
think as we transition here to our friend hu Milan,
does Hugh Milan actually turn on our show and think,
you know what, I'm not going to listen to this.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
This is not interesting. I bet he says that every
single day.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yet yet he never says it to us because he
doesn't want to hurt our very nice here he is
our friend, Huey Millen little more at four.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
How are you pal? I'm doing great? How could I
not be?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
If you're a Commander's fan, if you're a Blue Jay fan,
you're probably right.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Let's not do a commander's post game.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Hey, why don't we?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Uh, let's just kind of start there by the way.
We a lot of there's a lot of Hawk stuff
to dive into. But I know a lot of Commanders,
fans and media were ripping Dan Quinn for leaving Jayden
Daniels in the game, and d Q actually came out
and a clip it will hear later and admitted it said,
I blew it. He never should have been in the
game at that point. That's that that's that's my fault.
And it may have cost him a season. How how
(00:59):
critical at the time were you of dan Quinn for
leaving Jayden Daniels in the game.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, I wasn't critical. I think that's just ball and
dan Quinn. I know him a little bit, and everybody
knows dan Quinn loves dan Quinn because he's that kind
of guy. But you know, I just looked. I picked
since twenty twenty, just a random year, because it's the
beginning of the decade. I went back and I filtered
how many starting quarterbacks were in the game when their
(01:28):
team was down by thirty one or more points, like
the Commanders were with under eight minutes to go in
the football game. In those four and a half years,
there have been twenty nine starters that have had at
least one pass attempt. That's two hundred and forty three
drop back passes. There's been fifteen sacks, two unre and
twenty four pass attempts attempted by Do you recognize these names?
(01:54):
Would would these guys be a concern? Tom Brady, yeah,
Bo Jared Goff, Ben Roethlisberger, Gino Smith when he was
a Seahawk, Russell Wilson two attack of Alua Justin Herbert,
Bryce Young, cam Ward Kirk Cousins again twenty nine. Those
(02:14):
are just some of the names that are franchise quarterbacks
would have been in the game. I looked at Tom
Brady one I got well, I got to see this,
and I went and watched. I watched him in twenty
twenty against the Saints. They were losing forty nine to nothing.
I think the score of the date was November eighth,
and early November of that year they won the Super
Bowl that year. He was in a game under eight minutes,
(02:38):
losing forty one to nothing and throwing the ball and
on one of his attempts he took too hard to
hits and just got dumped. He could have broken his
collarbone right then. And so I think for the critics
who have been on it, and again dan Quinn criticized himself,
as you know, there's a lot of layers to that.
(03:00):
But for those who've been ardently critical, were you ardently
critical on all of those those those occasions that I
just referenced where quarterbacks were in the game. The fact
is coaches leave the guys in the quarterbacks are competitors.
They want to be with their teammates. They want to
try and get something going, a little bit of something
(03:22):
good to end the game on, maybe get a touchdown
pass late, just to pull it, you know, so you
feel a little bit better about yourself going to work
on Monday. That's the reason why the teams leave these
guys in. So, no, I'm not going to after the
fact because he got hurt question him. I think the
bigger question is when you go back to when when
(03:42):
Jaydon Daniels came out that the idea of the skinny quarterback,
because there was the huge concern, Hey, how durable is
this guy going to be? That we can we can
broaden that to Devin Witherspoon. How durable is the skinny
dB going to be? Who throws his body around? And so,
you know, I don't think it's a coincidence that the biggest,
(04:03):
bulkiest quarterback in the NFL, Josh Allen, is the is
the most healthy because he's you know, he plays for
the Bills, but he happens to be a Buffalo getting
under center and and so I think that's an intriguing conversation.
But the idea that that Dan Quinn rolls, you know,
craps on that occasion Hey, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Hugh Seahawks offense against Commander's defense last night. Big picture,
how much of it was what Seattle was doing that
was so impressive offensively, and how much of it was
just a bad, old injured Commander's defense.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah, I thought, just watching the tape man this Commander team.
They don't have a pass rusher, not good in the secondary.
I hate to see here, I'm throwing flowers. Everybody loves
dan Quinn didn't. I didn't see signs of good coaching,
their motivation. Bobby Wagner, bless his heart. On one of
my UH plays, I wrote down, Bobby Wagner fifty four
(05:03):
equals slow rookie. Obviously he's not a rookie, but his
recognition on a play where they put Jackson Smith and
Jig But in the backfield and ran him out on
a choice route against zone coverage. That was he was
hooking up in between a zone where Bobby Wagner had
the hook zone to his inside. Bobby should have been
expanding based on that formation. It was it was like
(05:26):
he was oblivious that number eleven was in the backfield.
So that was kind of a rookie reaction. And then
his movement just he just he just slug. It's kind
of painful because obviously I have memories of of when
he was a beautiful athlete running coast to code or
a sideline to signer line rather so, so, yeah, I
think it's tough. You know, the one one play in
(05:47):
the shows I've been on, I haven't broken down this
is here. Here would be an example of how how
Seattle outcast. So let's go to the Cody White sixty
yard touchdown. Right, everybody on that is drive after Sam
through the pick? Is that correct? Next drive?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Next?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Probably yes? Yeah, yeah, okay, So so on that play,
the commanders are in a in a three deep zone.
So Trey Amos is the corner on that. He's got
to stay deeper than the deepest. So you go play
action and you and then and then you see Cody
White he runs a corner out and and then you say, okay,
(06:26):
that's that's bad coverage. But you peel the layer one
more and you say, well, what kind of what else
was there? It was was Clint Kubiak trying to take
Dan Quinn to school in any other regard? And the
answer is yes, So Cody White who's a big receiver.
He motions downs that that gets a defense communicating hey,
(06:47):
watch the crack. Watch watch the crack. And now they
get into a formation that you say, well their play action, Well,
what what running play are they going to fake? Well,
they fake a play called duo where where everybody's down blocking,
including Cody White, would reduce. The term reduce is the
opposite of expand. Reduced means go closer to the ball.
(07:09):
Expand means go away. Simple as that, at the snap
of the ball, what does Cody White do? He reduces
justly like he would on the duo if he was
going to try and go down and root out a
safety in a in a single high defense, which it was.
So they have got so now we haven't even snapped
the ball yet and we've got the commanders thinking the
corner has got to be thinking duo. Now, what's What's
(07:31):
one of the challenges for a corner on duo is
it's it's a gap scheme play where everybody's down blocking
at the point of attack, but there's no puller from
the backside. So what the running back does is he
reads the middle linebacker and if the middle linebacker feels
he spills it to the outside. So it's one of
those plays where the corner can have a particular responsibility
(07:51):
because he's unblocked. As I said, the receiver is cracking
down inside and and he's the replacement for the crack
so he's going to be unblocked and expect the ball
to bounce to him on duo. So they so they
create up in these layers, a multiple look of duo
to the right, two trail amos side and now he
(08:13):
he sees he sees Cody White reduce inside and oh,
this must be dual and he and he flies up.
Well that's just enough in professional football to get the
job done. And now Cody White is banging over the
top of him wide open pass could Sam could have
completed left handed or blindfolded, wide open, makes the safety
(08:34):
miss and he houses it. So so it you know,
that's like multiple layers of why that play executed in
my opinion. So you know, I just broke down one play.
I could break down thirty more.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, we only have three hours left, bow, I understand that.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But yeah, I said that for the reason to say, look,
look when you have a big score like that, Yeah,
that was a commander team that was, you know, just
got taken to the woodshed in the in coaching as.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Well, yes, in their own stadium.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I think I think it's important just to kind of
put into context you and Dick what we saw from
Donald So the four touchdowns and a perfect completion rate
on the first four drives of a game. The last
time a quarterback did that was Tom Brady in two
thousand and seven. And the last time we saw a
guy with four touchdowns and a perfect passer rating and
(09:28):
the first half of a primetime game was Michael Vick
for Philadelphia also at Washington in twenty ten. So we
may have seen the greatest first half ever from a
Seahawk quarterback.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Honestly, that's not hyperbole in that game last night. But
what is it?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And you've been breaking it down the marriage of him
and Kobiak Maybe you want to throw some flowers at
the offensive line deck or Hugh, I don't know, But
what is it about what Sam Darnold is doing right now?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
In general terms and deeps.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Tell whatever that led the last night's amazing performance.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Well, we'll get to the protection and it was great
and I've got some numbers to apply to that. But
I think in general, what you have is in JSN
a guy that has elite next level awareness and a
feel for how to get open, particularly in the middle
of the field. Sam Darnold is anticipatory. He put on
(10:29):
a master class of eye manipulation. He knew where he
wanted to throw the ball. But if you watch the
end zone copy, as the coaches do and as I
did all day, he's looking in areas knowing he's not
looking there for the purpose of, oh, I might want
to throw there. He's looking there just for the purposes
(10:51):
of moving defenders. And so he's getting guys open. And
by the way, the chief victim of him was probably
fifty four. Bobby was trying to say, Hey, I'm a veteran,
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm a little step slower. You know,
I'm just making an inference as to his mindset. So
let me, you know, let me just anticipate where you're
(11:13):
gonna go with the ball. And and it was like
Sam had an understanding that, and he says, I'm just
gonna move fifty four or wherever I want to move him.
It was like a joystick. And he was doing that
to other defenders as well, and so I think that
you know, I've touched on some of the scheme, the
second third layers of the onion on on the scheme dominance.
I think the the anticipation, the next level understanding. You
(11:36):
got a young receiver and Tory Horton that's giving you
everything you could ever want from a fifth round rookie.
You know, his first touchdown I don't think was a
great route. That was a hard route to get open
that all of the the the credit goes to Darnold
on that boot where we went out to his left,
had to back up and throw to Horton. Just a
dime thrown with intense anticipation. I could argue that was
(11:58):
his most difficult throw of night, even more so than
the Arroyo touchdown, which Sam would tell you I underthrew
it by two feet. But the second touchdown by Horton,
where they're playing man and man but they're the free
safeties is bracketing, so they're in and out on on JSN.
Everybody else's single covered and he takes an inside release
(12:21):
from the point he's on the line of scrimmage. He's
susceptible to being jammed. Talking about Horton, he breaks to
the inside. Sam was still the defender, the young great
defender from Michigan. He thinks he's gonna run the over route,
that deep crossing route to the other side of the field,
so he overplays that. But nope, Horton had sold that.
But then he's breaking out to the corner. He's opened
(12:42):
by ten yards. You know, just just lay it out
there and you undress the play and all those factors
I just describe. You know, it's just a walk in touchdown,
but there's a lot that goes into that, you know,
including the coverage, the JSN drew on the play, the
man with the the bracket on one player being Jayson Hugh.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Maybe the only bad news coming out of the game
was Ernest Jones. Uh talk about the level of downgrade
without him and how much maybe is it minimized or
mitigated by the fact that just Mike McDonald just is
able to put new chest pieces in and it seems
like nothing ever breaks.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, he's he's done a hell of a job that way,
right Tyokotta. You know, I thought he was really sketchy
when he first played, and within a month now he's
just headed, you know, he's playing with with no indecision. Uh,
you know, he's taking good angles, he's playing with great aggression. Uh,
Drake Thomas, you know Somehowen's unseated, Uh Tyree Knight. And
(13:40):
and I think those are two examples of guys. You know,
it's a complex scheme. You gotta have great communication you
get you know, and and and so the instincts of
where these guys need to be you just see them.
So I think that that McDonald has a way of
coaching up who's ever in there. But it's a blow.
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna mit it, you know,
uh uh, Ernest has really been playing well. And you know,
(14:02):
I can't speak with specificity to the communication piece that
he's been providing. I just know that a mic linebacker
with that kind of experience and what have you, is
going to be responsible for that as a general axiom.
And so you know, you just have to say they're
going to be depleted. But McDonald, you know, he relishes
the challenge to get guys up and ready to go.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Okay, so let me just chime in.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Somebody once told me don't ask leading questions, but I'm
going to kind of maybe ask one here a little
bit of a way. I'm going to share an opinion
with you, and you tell me if I'm a moron,
which I'm sure you'll tell me I am at some point.
But Hugh, I just think one of the biggest, if
not the biggest, reasons why this offense is humming, is
because of this offensive line, which to me just looks
totally different.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I mean with great Zabel and Jalen Sundell. I know
you've been on Bradford. I thought he played okay last night.
But Sam Donald last year, in the first eight games
of the season in Minnesota, was sacked twenty five times.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
He's been sack nine times so far this year.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
My eyes, my idiot, amateur eyes, tell me this offensive
line's taken a gigantically well.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
They have in pass blocking, for sure, I think the
run blocking is still in question. And Anthony Bradford had,
to my eyes, clearly his best game, There's no question
about that. If he played like he did last night,
We're not even talking about Sam Bradford. And you know
I noticed that that PFF had him at a seventy
(15:30):
nine pass blocking great, that's like, by far his best
of the season. But you know, against Tampa Bay he
had a zero. I didn't even know you could get
a zero grade. You know, on thirty nine pass block snaps.
Against Houston he had a fifteen. That was the game before.
So we're not out of the woods on Anthony Bradford,
(15:51):
but this is not the week to get on him
or anybody. The protection was phenomenal. And I'm gonna put
some numbers. Now, I jump in the NFL stat portal,
and they have the time, and they have the time
to throw down to the tenth of a second. So
me being a nerd, I put in the spreadsheet. Okay,
I'm gonna put him into time bins. Okay, So I'm
(16:13):
gonna put all of them in, all the throws that
are under second. Then I'm gonna have a bin between
one and one and a half second, one and a
half to two, two to two and a half, et
cetsa right. I hope you understand what I'm saying. So
that's all Darnold's throws coming into the game last night.
Before the game, the biggest bin that he had been
(16:34):
in is the bin between two seconds and two point
four nine, essentially between two and two and a half seconds,
he had fifty seven attempts, and against Washington in that
bin he was three for three for thirty five yards. Okay,
when releasing the ball between two and two and a
half seconds, the second biggest bin that he's had all years,
two point five to three seconds essentially, and there was
(16:58):
thirty nine attempts averaged in that in that range three
point seven completions going into last night got me, Dick Fang,
we got We're so we're between two and a half
and three seconds and and we averaged three point seven
completions in that range. Last night. Donald goes eight for eight,
(17:20):
one hundred and forty nine yards and all four touchdowns
and a perfect one point fifty eight point three rating.
So that what does that tell me? First of all,
the NFL averages two point eight two, all quarterbacks, all throws.
So when Sam Donald can live in that in that
range two and a half to three, like the offensive
line gave him last night, he can be lethal. Just
(17:46):
give him the average time. And so you know, I've
had those beens sitting around all year. Havn't shared him
because it hasn't been relevant. It's kind of nerdy, but
I think it tells a story today about last night,
and it does tell a story. Beautiful job on the
offensive line, and and Seattle has the skill guys, including
(18:07):
obviously most importantly the quarterback who can he can he
can say, hey, look I can get to my my
my third or fourth guy. And by the way, Collinsworth
yesterday the play that he sewed on the video, hey,
he made a big deal about Darnold getting to his
third option. I would argue that that was his fourth
option because he had he had flat takeoff to his
(18:28):
left and then he had a dig checkdown to his right.
The checkdown on the dig after he turned it down,
the the flat takeoff combination, that would have been the fourth.
When he got to Barner on that play that that
Collinsworth was saying his third I'd say, Chris, you're the
best in the business, but I'm gonna I'm gonna see
your third option and raise you one to the fourth option.
(18:51):
So this is the stuff that that that these guys
can do if the offensive line performs. And God almighty
did they they yesterday. Very exciting, but they still got
a run block.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Uh, no doubt know. I got to see you. I'm
gonna I'm gonna interrupt you.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
There's this thing we have here called a clock at
the radio station, and yeah, we have to we have
to break it a certain time way. We're way past that,
so you hold tight. There's more to get to. There's
more meat on the Seahawks bone. We'll get to that. Uh,
maybe some thoughts on everything else happened over the weekend too.
You Millan rejoins next on ninety three to three kJ
(19:27):
r FM from the R and R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for
the Huskies, Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r F M.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
All right, we're back at Jimmy's on First, where, by
the way, I've been told by people the know there's
a new menu coming very very soon here at Jimmy's
on First. And there's two things, guys, that are adding
to the menu. I think all three of us. I'm
gonna speak for the two of you because if I
can't count on you to be excited about this, okay,
we got a major problem. You got me interested in
here met Paul sub and Ruben Sandwich.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Oh wow, okay, does that work for you?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Absolutely, okay, I'm just checking, just making sure you gotta
heartbeat there, guys. Super and solid option Pasta's options coming
as well. The new menu will be unveiled here in
a couple of weeks at Jimmy's On First. Hugh Millan
rejoins us on the radio show. Here we're talking about
a quarterback and Sam Darnold who is number three in
the NFL and QBR. We're talking about a football team
(20:32):
that is number three in the NFL and point differential
behind the Rams and the Colts. By the way, we're
talking about a wide receiver who is number one in
the NFL in passing yards or excuse me, receiving yards
and projected to go over two thousand this year at
sixteen point three yards per catch.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I don't think though, we're talking enough about the defense.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
This is a defense last night that pressured Jaden Daniels
on a career high fifty one percent of his passes,
including sixty one percent in the second half.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Is this scheme or is this talent?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
If you had to go one way or the other
with what Mike McDonald's defense has been doing since the
middle of last year, which seemed to be getting better
and maybe their best performance yet under him last night.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I think their talent would have them above average, but
not elite. I think that the combination of the this
scheme and the talent has them, you know, knocking on
the door of elite if they're not already there. And
and I just think that Mike McDonald has such a
(21:40):
clear vision of how pro football should look from the
defensive perspective. He knows it when he sees it, he
knows it when he doesn't see it, he knows it
how to fix it, he knows how to teach it.
I just, you guys know from day from the jump
I've been, you know, as high as a guy can be.
And by the way, I just love his just who
(22:01):
he is in this sense. I don't know him well.
I've had a couple of conversations, but he just strikes
me as a guy. You don't see these guys often
in many industries, but somebody who has immense confidence in
themselves and they know they have a clear vision, as
I said, but are so humble simultaneously in a way
that's not like lack of self confidence. I don't know,
(22:24):
I know it when I see it, And he's got it,
and he's got a damn good front seven. And Leonard
Williams has found the fountain of youth. He's got some youth.
You know, he doesn't have he doesn't have great edge prep.
You know, the home run hitter from the outside. But
he didn't have that in Baltimore either. He had Jadavian
(22:45):
Clowney on his fifteam and on the wrong side of
thirty he had uh oh jeez, Nick uh oh Man,
the guy from the Patriots. It'll come to me. But
both of his defensive ends were on the wrong side
of thirty on at least their fifth team, and that
yet they still led the NFL in sacks. And so
(23:05):
now he's doing it with all these simulated pressures and
uh you know last night time five plays where he
brought a dB. One of them was the interception. There's
only one completion for ten yards out of it, and
it's just enough to get the quarterback playing slow. And
(23:27):
that's what he specializes is making the quarterback think, for
we here, we just broke down quarterbacks into half a
second bins. He's trying to do exactly that. Just push
him one more bin later, half a second later, and
you play the odds you're gonna have a lot of
good things for you. Yeah, I could. I could talk
all night about what this guy's doing. I love him well.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
Greg O Saul made an interesting comment with Ian on
Friday Hugh. He said he loves how opponent opponents specific
Mike McDonald is talk about more about that and how
much of a contrast maybe that was from Pete because
I mean it seemed like we just had Pete. You know,
he ran his thing and he knew he was going
to better be better than you at his thing.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah. Well, you know, first of all, you're going after
what what are their protection schemes that they throw on
on the tape. You know, for example, the interception that
Okada had beautiful. I mean, how about his vert on
that ground level camera right where he goes up he
looks like he's above the rim somehow is able to
toe dance thing. Okay, beautiful play. But I liked even
(24:33):
more when I watched the coaches tape, all the scheming.
So he has Ernest Jones come up balls on the
right hash and so this is what Jaden Daniels is
having to process. He's got Ernest Jones mugging up in
the A gap on the left side, so we know
we have to send the protection to the field to
our left. I'm gonna be everything I'm gonna say is
from Jade and Daniels perspective. So I gotta go, I
(24:55):
gotta I gotta make sure that I got Ernest Jones blocks.
So I'm gonna send my center to the left. But
I got Drake Thomas up in the up in the
B gap on the weak side, and so but I've
got a running back. I'm taking care of that. Okay,
So now it looked we don't know if it's gonna
be a man pressure. All these guys are gonna come.
(25:15):
There're certainly at the line of scrimmage. You have to
count for them coming. So now Ernest Jones backs out
and demark I think it was DeMarcus Lowentz on that
side the defensive end, yet was him on on my left?
They dropped off into zone. It's not a man it's
not a cover zero. It's not even a man pressure.
It's a zone pressure. But now to my weak side. Okay,
(25:38):
I got a running back for Drake Thomas. But they
have a cat They the Seahawks have a cat blitz
to my right. So now here comes Witherspoon coming in,
not off the edge, but he's looping in the b
gap between the guard and the tackle, which is open
because you already swallowed up the running back on that
(26:00):
side with the blitz on on Drake Thomas Meanwhile, okay,
so now Okada, because because I got a cat blit
blitz off my right. Okay, the safety's gonna go over
to the right side. I've seen that. Uh going back
to my Arizona State days. No, no, no, not so fast.
That's not just like him in his zone where he's
got the deeper pressure. That son of a bitch, Mike
(26:23):
McDonald he has, he has done. He has rolled the
coverage on a cat blitz. What does that mean? Okada
doesn't have the deep responsibility. He's got Klas, he's got
he's got the flat and we're we're and and and
those Seahawks they're taking Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
All.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Wait, he was way over here on damn, you're on
the left numbers. He is sprinting over to get over
the top of Okada. So Olkada can do what just
linger in the flat and just stand there and play.
Uh you know, eyeball the quarterback. And so now now
my receiver out here, I thought he was gonna break out,
he breaks in. You know, we're not used to seeing
(27:01):
cloud cloudish. Uh uh. It would would technically be a
sky because it's a strong safety. But we were not
seeing a two over the top of a cat. It's
usually one over the top of a cat. That is
a complex blitz pressure against a second year quarterback, and
he just throws it up and it's an easy pick.
I mean that. So so you asked me, is it
(27:23):
scheme or is it players? Well, the player made that
you know, jump forty inches and had an undescribable toe tap,
so you can't not give him credit. Witherspoon comes out
like he got shot out of a missile into the
B gap, totally untouched, and and he gets a you know,
he goes right into the chest of the quarterback. But
it's a it's a it's an immensely complex uhe scheme.
(27:48):
So so yeah, the answers both. And again I could
do thirty more plays, but yeah, Dave, tell me, we
only got one one segment.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So we have a we have don't we have to
fo We got to pay Jackson's salary.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Unfortunately we got to break you know.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
But but do you guys get that am I communicating
to you the course Mike McDonald is sniffing out he
knows he knew how the uh the commanders did directly
answered Dick's question. He knew how the commanders were going
to handle that particular blizz right well, and he knew
how it would be a problem.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
We've talked about how Mike McDonald's scheme is going to
be the star of the show ever since he showed
up here. Star of the show. It's bigger than any
one player. All right, you have eleven guys working together,
no man more important than the other. Just pass the
ball five times before you shoot. You'll be fine, all right, Uh, Hugh,
great stuff, And we'll talk on Friday.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
With us.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Uh textimonials four nine, four five one and then Jackson
Bevans Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
There was a movement out there.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
The Genoites just did not want to see Geno Smith go.
They could not imagine letting Gino Smith go and then
bringing in Sam Darnold and maybe seeing this football team
play better than they did the year before. They were
non believers. We'll see if Jackson Bevans is now a
believer at five o'clock. Is he ready to admit his
wrongdoings and accept responsibility for his behavior at five o'clock
(29:17):
tonight
