Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now from the.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Five twenty Bar and Grill in Bellevue.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Mike Combgran with Zufti and Dish. All right, we're back
here at Jimmy's on First.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's really too bad that Mike is not here, Dick,
to be totally honest with you. Here someone so comfortable here, Mike.
Some of your biggest fans are here. Literally we call
them the Home Grenettes and they are here today at
Jimmy's on First.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Let's let's hear it for coach.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh gred, oh great, o o oh.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I like that. I love you, be loved. They love
you here, Mike, they love you.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Wow. That is really something.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, another reason why you should leave the come join
us here at Jimmy's on first night. We'll be here
until seven o'clock tonight, actually will be off a point fifteen.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Let's talk about this one tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Man, We've been talking about who this is a bigger
game for Everybody seems to agree. It's a bigger game
for San Francisco because they had bigger preseason expectations. If
they lose this one, they're zero and three in the West.
But if the Hawks lose it, they've lost three in
a row and they're owing three in the NFC. So
talk to us about who you think needs this one
more tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Well, I think both teams need it, but I think
the forty nine ers need it more. And it's about expectations.
I mean, Seahawks, you know they won, they won the
first three games. They've had a couple tough ones, but
the expectation level for a new staff, a new new
program isn't the same as it is in San Francisco
right now, and I think they're pretty It's been a
(01:50):
rocky start and they need to get off the dime.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Coach talk about a rookie coaching staff playing in their
first ever short week. The numbers do not lend kindly
to rookie coaches in their first short week. Why is
it so difficult and how much behind the eight ball
will Mike McDonald and Ryan Grubby tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well, you know, if if it's the first short week
you've had, in the first Thursday night situation, how you
practice and how you prepare for that game? It is
an experimental kind of I mean, you got to see
first of all, what your team is, who's injured, what
can happen. You only have two days to do that,
(02:31):
and so yeah, I didn't know that stat but it
makes sense to me. It's like it's like guys going
to the super Bowl for the first time, you know,
planning the schedule. That's really different. You've never done it before.
That's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, Well, you know, in Dick's talking about what third
game in ten days, right Monday Sundays, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Talking about this is the first short week, right Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But I'm talking about the point that we were talking
about earlier. And I'm sure that other teams have done it.
It's not typical obviously, as Dick point it out, But
is that I mean, I'm gonna sound kind of soft here,
to be honest with you, is that safe, honestly, Mike,
for teams to be playing three games in ten days
at this level.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I don't think it is. I don't think it is.
And when they when they came to those conclusions in
the league, it's all about the finances, and it's been
a big deal obviously Thursday night football and all that
kind of stuff. But if you just want to say, okay,
forget about all that, is this healthy for the players
and are they more likely to you know, pull something,
(03:35):
do something, get an injury? The answer is yes and
so but that fell on deaf ears And here we.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Are, coach, how do you evaluate this defense?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I mean, they were healthy for the most part to
start the season, and they dominated teams that they should
have dominated. And now the teams start getting better, but
they also start getting less healthy. So is it are
they a good defense that's just not healthy or were
they just feasting on bad teams?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well? I thought I thought the first three games of
the season, if you wanted to pick three opponents to
kind of get your feet going a little bit in
the new organizations, you couldn't have picked three better opponents.
The offenses than those three teams were bad Okay, So
the what we got out of those three you know,
(04:25):
the wins. Wins are a win. That's that goes without
without saying. But what we got was, you know, now
we get into teams that can do a little bit more,
how do we handle that Detroit? You know, we kind
of expect that. I don't think that surprised anybody. Now
the Giants did. The Giants did, and that had to
do with not only the defense, but some injury situations.
(04:47):
But you can't you got to. Now they're heading into
a part of the schedule here where it gets. It
gets better than how they started. The opponents opponents.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Are better, right, Well, Mike congrins with us, and I
want you to go into the brain of Ryan Grubb,
all right, because Ryan Grubb has been getting criticized by
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Dick Faine has been leading the charge, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
He's been offering up pitchforks to anybody who wants to
go down to pick it in the.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
State you have to pay for membership. After the play.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Calling the last couple of games, he wants to run
the ball more. I think all of us would like
to see them run the ball more. Ryan Grubb came
out and said, we need to run the ball more.
How does that affect your psyche when you know you're
taking questions from the media, you know, the fans are
getting after you. How does that affect your psyche and
rhythm as a play caller tonight?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
If you're Ryan Grubb, oh, you know what's he's smart
and he's good at it, and he knows he's good
at it. We know he's good at it. Now what
happened in that last game that was very, very unusual.
We all feel he should run the ball more. I
said it, Everyone said it, he knows it, and now
they've said it. So how will he do it tonight?
(05:52):
He'll do what he thinks he has to do to
score points. That's how he'll do it. You know, all
the noise and stuff, yeah, I did. In fact, she
didn't like anyone to call you an idiot, you know.
But but he he you know, he's he's going to
do what he he does. You know. I was reminded
of the time in San Francisco, Uh, the year I left.
(06:14):
I was driving home from practice. We've gone through a
tough stretch, he had some injuries. I turned on the
radio in my car and Cat Cat he'd had the car,
so she fiddled with the radio and I before I
could turn it off, he kicked on to a sports
station and what the first words I heard? Homeworks got
to be the dumbest play caller in the league. And
(06:36):
before before I could get to turn it off, they
were laughing there. Oh it's bad, you know. But I
was still trying to do the same things I've always done,
and Ryan's going to be the same way. Yeah, he's
his job is to score points, move the football, so
he'll do what he has to do.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
See.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I buy a lot of that story you just said
about sports radio. What I don't buy is that you
came across the station on accident. I don't buy that
at all, because ever ever since listen.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
To mood music on the way I ever listen sports radio.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Ever since we've known you, you've always been a fan
of local sports talk radio.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Ever since you showed up.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Here in ninety nine, we've always known that you listen
to talk radio. So did you ever hear anybody in
this city going after anybody on this radio station go
after you?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Never? Good? That's why I like you guys so much. Good?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
All right, coach.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
When I hear a head coach at a press conference
say the words ken Walker has done a disservice, that
tells me that that head coach is not happy with
his offensive coordinator when he.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Uses that word.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Do you think there was a scolding or what do
you think the conversation was between Mike McDonald and Ryan
Grubb after that football game?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You know what? I wish you hadn't said that. I mean,
you know there are times when you what goes that's
that's what goes on behind closed doors and doesn't get
out like that, you know, because that's that's you're saying
something about how the game was called, and you can't
you know, see was he can't? I don't think you
(08:08):
can do that. But so that surprises me a lot.
I had not heard that. But if someone were to
ask me, I'd say, Mike, you can't do that. You
know do that? You know you can feel that, and
you can talk to you can talk to Clark, you
can talk to Walker about it. You know, absolutely, listen,
we'll get you the ball more we should have. But
to come out and say that as a press conference
(08:29):
that surprises me, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Well, Michael grind's with us. Mike, what's your take on
brock Berdy?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You know what, I like him more and more all
the time, Dave. I you know, so much was said
about where he was drafted and who he was and
how now he went to a good coach, He went
to a good team with players, good players around him.
But you watch him play. He can play. I mean,
he can flat play now, and I think that it's
a good example of a guy who's played a lot
(08:57):
of college football, a lot of college football, and he
took that with him into the league. He's he's resourceful,
he throws the ball very accurately, and no, I think
he's gotten better too. You cannot argue with what he's
done now. They struggled just a little bit at the
beginning of this season, but that's not on him. I
don't think. Well.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
The number is being thrown around is sixty million dollars
a year that they are going to have.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
To pay Rock Purty. I hope they do pay him.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I as a Seahawks fan, I am praying they pay
Rock Purty sixty million dollars because coach, I mean, the
options seem to be that or do what the Seahawks
did do what the Bucks did, do what the Vikings
have done, and that's find a guy that's a decent
enough quarterback for much less than sixty million. I mean,
(09:48):
Gino's at like twenty five bakers even less than that.
Stam Darnold's even way less than that.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah, I think that that number had to be floated
by his agent, you know. And I know I know
the uh the quarterback price is out is out there.
It's really something. But this is his first this is
in his rookie contract. It's the next one, you know.
And so I don't think, in fact, I don't think
(10:16):
I believe he would accept less than me in the
highest paid quarterback in the history of sports, you know. So,
so I don't think that they're gonna have to worry
about that. He's gonna get paid. He should get paid more,
he should get paid more, but it's not gonna be
up there with those numbers. They don't think.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, well, Sam Darnold's a free agent when the year's over,
by the way, so if he ends up killing it
from Minnesota, he's gonna want thirty plus million dollars from
somebody next season.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So I kind of agree with what you said.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I don't know if rock Perty is going to be
totally unreasonable and just start, you know, asking for the moon.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But he is a serviceable quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
He's not elite, but he's serviceable, and they've got good
talent around him, as Jordan Mason kid. Kyle Shanahan's taken
some heat now in San Francisco. I saw were Emmanuatco.
We played this clip on the air the other day.
Emmanuoaco was saying that Kyle Shanahan is calling plays like
his dad's in the stands and he's trying to impress him.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Are you seeing that from Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
No, No, at Manuelacho, I had one of those guys
in Cleveland for a little while.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Remember which is because there's there's a couple of Ocho brothers.
I mean, there's a couple of guys floating around. Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It may have been him by the look at him, Yeah,
I think so.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah. So he good guy, very very smart. I've seen him,
likes to talk and uh, but I wouldn't worry. No,
I don't. I don't think. I don't think Kyle's thinking
that way.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That was actually sorry, it was not a manual that
was uh it was Was it sam Ocho that played
for you?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, he may have been with you for a LAS linebacker. Yeah,
got it.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, yep, Gus, what have you thought of of Geno?
I mean, he's on pace to throw at six hundred
and eighty times this season. That would be the sixth
most in the history of the NFL. I can't imagine
that that pace is going to continue, especially after what
we heard.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
From Ryan Grubb.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
But just overall, we thought we would get see a
boost in Gino with Ryan Grubb as the offensive coordinator.
Have you seen a better Gino this year than you
saw in the past couple of years.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I think he started off this reminds me of two
years ago. Really. I think the three years two years
ago he was better than he was last year, but
not you know, he had a good year last year,
but two years ago he was really off the charts.
I think he has shown the ability to do whatever
you ask him to do. If you're coaching him as
(12:37):
a quarterback on your team, you're very very happy. Yeah,
you know, and I think listen, we've all talked run
the ball, run the ball, run the ball. There he's
going to do what he has to do to score
points and then move the football, And I wouldn't be
a bit they're going to run it more than they
did it last week, because that was that was craziness, right,
no doubt, there's Gino still got to do what he
(12:58):
does with the receivers we have, and you know that's
that's the smart thing to do. Really, that's the best
thing for their offense. I wouldn't see a dramatic change here,
but get Walker involved with Gino's Gino's doing great.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Hey, Mike Homer with us, Mike, I'm curious. Uh, Trey
Brown got picked to death by the Giants a week ago.
How much patience do you have with this guy? I mean,
he's obviously a second string guy for a reason, right,
Riek Willan's not playing the night, he's banged up, and
Trey Brown's gonna get some run. But honestly, knowing that
you're a little thin at corner, Ardy Burns has been activated,
(13:35):
I think is that right there? For tonight's game he'll
probably play Nickel. How much how much patience do you
think you would have with Trey Brown at corner before
you just say, look, I don't care how cent we are.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
We got to get him out of the game.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Well, you got to see how he's playing, and if
they're picking on him, and if if there is an
improvement over what happened the other night, the other day,
and if if I would expect there will be, I
would expect. He's got a lot of pride, you know,
And so it's I would expect to be better. But
if it's not, it's a what choices do I have?
(14:07):
Who can I put in there that I think is better? Right,
that's the decision they have to make.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
All right, Hey, coming up next.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't use you to do this because I like
just springing stuff on you, but I want you to
be able to think about your answer. We're gonna come
back next segment, Mike. We're talking more about the Niners
in Seahawks tonight. But I want to ask you, do
you believe Aaron Rodgers when he says he had nothing
to do with Robert Sala getting fired with the Jets?
All right, so go grab a sub sandwich or something.
We got a couple of cocktails. We'll be back in
about five minutes.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
All right, pal, got you?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
All right? Mike Ingram more with him.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We're at Jimmy's on First getting ready for the Niners
and Hawks tonight. Right here on ninety three three KJRFM Softie.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And Dick with Michelngrin from the five twenty Bar and
Grill in Bellevue. Continue on your home for the twelfth
Man Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
All right back here a Jimmy's on First, See and
Niners coming up tonight. We'll do a little testimonials next segment,
Seahawk fans, what do you think of feeling good? What's
your confidence meter look like for tonight's game? Mike Conkan
rejoins us here on the radio show. Mike Robert Sala
was fired and he was replaced, obviously by a coordinator
(15:18):
from the Jets. They also have demoted Nathaniel Hackett. The
play caller Aaron Rodgers says, I had nothing to do
with it. Don't blame me.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Do you believe him when he says that, you know what,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Think directly he went in and said, you know, it's
either me or the coach. I don't think that happened.
But anytime you give a player, any player, the type
of juice he has, there I think you're going in
the wrong direction. I really do. I think when they
signed him, you know, he's not just a player. He's like,
(15:51):
he can sway opinions. He can talk to ownership if
they decide to do that. I don't think he did it.
I don't think he went in said this guy's got
a oh, but you know he almost suddenly he can
do it. You know, Dick here, you're a basketball guy too.
It reminds me when it was the Lakers coach West
(16:11):
west Head Magic Magic Johnson just went in and said,
this guy's got to go, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Because that was years ago. A player has that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Kind of juice. When a player has that kind of juice,
I think the organization is going in the wrong direction.
The other thing is, now, what is Hackets supposed to do?
You know? I don't disagree with the fact that I
don't know. I don't think he does a great job.
But now they he's still going to be there on
the staff, the quarterback coach is going to be calling
(16:43):
the plays. What what does he do during practice? What
does he do? He's just there. So it's it's really
screwed up right now. And uh, now if Aaron All
of a sudden starts shooting lights out, okay with the
new coach, and so on and so forth. You will say, yeah, see,
we knew that, we knew that. I personally don't agree
(17:04):
with him. I think a coach, you know, has he
deserved to have a little more time solid.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Well, what I don't understand, coach, is if you're going
to fire a guy who is a win on Monday
Night football away from first place in the division after
five weeks, why didn't you just fire him in the offseason,
if you were going to give him that little of rope,
because it's not like the Jets.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Have been horrible.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah, no, I agree with you, Dick. I just to me,
I thought it was I just didn't like it, you know.
And so there are some franchises I think in the
National Football League that are owned by people that and
I might dealings with Woody Johnson were always real good. Yeah,
but there are some. But it's it's you know, they
(17:50):
think they were they are billionaires because they did something
in another industry. Now they come into football and they
have no idea, no idea, and if they decide to
mess around, they can with you.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, didn't you? Uh didn't you interview for a job
with what did Johnson?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah? I know, he I was, you know, I was
flying back there to coach the coach the death. You
know that story, you know, I do, I do know
that story.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
So, and Kathy met him at a meeting after that
after I had declined it and said, I want to
kind of, you know, talk to mister Johnson and thank
him for this. So she goes over to him. I
was there, and I shake his hand. She goes, mister Johnson,
I just want to say, if Mike was a little younger, yeah,
you know, he would have he would have really he
would have really done this. And Whatody Johnson goes, You know,
(18:41):
I own a farm pharmaceutical company. We can make that happen.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well, Mike cong grins with us, and Mike we played
a clip from Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Smith about Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Uh, he's got the worst QBR and a thirty two
quarterbacks in the National Football League. One are the Browns
home like two fifty total whatever left on his contract?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Something ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I mean, obviously Stefanski didn't make the move.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The GM, the owner made the move.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
But if you're the head coach of that football team,
and you basically inherited a quarterback like the Sean who's
owned all that guaranteed money and is that awful?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Like Steven A.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Smith talked about, what do you do to kind of
climb out of this or make the most of this?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
You know, Dave, I don't know if they can right
away because of you know, he is guaranteed that money.
That's that's taxing your salary cap. And so he you know,
prior to prior to this, you know, he was he
was doing fine in the league prior to all this
stuff he had to go through. So I think if
there's if there's, they they will stay with him longer
(19:48):
than they would with other quarterbacks playing the way he is,
just because of the money and because he had in
the past shown the ability to play and play well.
So but you know, look, it doesn't well, don't get
me there. As I said, there are some organizations right
now that that makes it more difficult for the coach.
Let me put it that way, a coach.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
The DeVante Adams situation continues.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
To just drag out.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
How do you deal with a player that really doesn't
want to be there? He hasn't been He hasn't been
bad about it, he hasn't been poudy about it. But
he's made his you know, he's made his bed and
he says, you know, I'd rather be someplace else. And
how much does that impact somebody's trade value when you
know the guy really wants.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To be traded.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You know, I'd get rid of him. You know, I
tell you what he's and you say, wait a second,
he's this great player, Yes he is, but he's not playing.
He's not playing, and so what he what he is doing?
And you can't tell me he's not he's affecting the
other players. This is not this is not just one
man over there sitting and watching. He's a big star
(20:55):
for them and one of their big pickups and he's
decided not to But what's the message that he's sending
and they're sending to the rest of the teams. So
you gotta, you know, cut it off right now and
do what you have to do and and move forward.
But way, I would have no patience. I would have
absolutely no patience with something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
No, I think we're all shocked to hear you say that,
by the way, that you have no patience whatsoever. But
Mike Congrin is with us, and Mike you played a
clip from George Kittle, the star tight end for the
forty nine ers, who said he loves playing in Seattle
because he knows how much the Seahawk fans hate the
forty nine ers. How much did you play that up
behind the scenes when you were in Green Bay and
(21:37):
you played Minnesota, you played Chicago, You're in Seattle when
you took over. You were in the AFC West for
a couple of years when you played the Raiders or
Kansas City, or maybe in the NFC when.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You played the Niners.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
How much do like, I always feel like the fans
have more of a rivalry with the opponent than the
players do. Is that accurate or is there just as
much hatred behind closed doors?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Oh? No, I think you play on that. You absolutely
play on that. You know. I did it in Green
Bay with Minnesota. That was you know, Detroit. We had
a good division there, but Minnesota was the one that
and the Bears. Of course I had to win that game,
you know. And then when I came to Seattle, you know,
and anytime I played against the guy or a playside
coach before you know, if you're in Seattley you play
(22:23):
Green Bay, or you're in Green Bay and you play
the forty nine ers. That always was a little extra
for me, and I talked about it, and I wanted
the players to know it, and if I was getting
more fired up, they were getting more fired up. That's
how I wanted it to be.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Coach.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
What do you think about the moves the Patriots just made,
starting Drake may So instead of the red shirt year
and just you know, let Jakobe Brissett be the quarterback
and if they go four and thirteen, they go four
and thirteen, they're pulling the plug after a one and
four started going with the rookie second overall pick.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
What do you think about that move?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Well, that was a move that was in the works.
And then a lot of do that the team do
exactly that they're going to get a young guy and
they don't want he's not quite ready. But even if
he is a little bit more ready than the guy
that they're playing, let's let him watch just a little bit,
let's let him learn. But then this was going to happen,
just when it was going to happen, right, you know,
(23:17):
I've been through that was through that with Makowski and
h and Farv. Do you get a guy in the
first round, he's going to be the guy? You know, Rarely,
rarely do you draft a guy like Aaron Rodgers and
then have him sit and watch for three years. Brett Farv,
you think you're gonna one year, maybe, But if the
(23:38):
guy's shooting blanks, you know for the first part of
the season you make, you can't get any worse, right,
you can't get any worse. So let's play.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Him, Mike before you go.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Marcus Truefont is on the flag tonight for the Seahawks.
All right, you drafted back in two thousand and three
with the eleventh pick overall in the NFL draft. Uh
Troy Paula Mally went five picks later, by the way,
and he's in the Hall of Fame. But Marcus Truffont
had a good career for you guys, one of the
best open field tacklers I've ever seen at that position.
What are your memories of Marcus Truffont when he played
(24:10):
for you?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, he was. He was really one of the key
reasons that we got to be where we got to be,
you know, And not only that, Dave he's really a
fine guy. You know. He did a lot in the community,
a lot of charity work. But as a football player,
he really he worked very, very hard. He was very quiet,
(24:32):
very quiet, and I liked that a little bit. But then,
you know, but then he played like he played hard,
and he was really a good player for us, and
so we were lucky to have him. It was a
good pick, yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
All right, man, enjoy the game.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What's on the what's on the tailgating menu at the
homegroun Household full game and the can we come let's see?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
You know. You know I'm in charge on Thursday nights,
you guys know right, that's right, because I'm working the game.
I couldn't cook up and create around them. So I
ordered out and so we went. We went the cheesecake
Factory and we're we're having all sorts of stuff. It's
just a bunch of little weird things.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Yeah, mix it up, for God's sake, try a little variety.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You and the cheesecake Factory.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Yeah, he's gone just gonna say, we're gonna get you
an endorsement with the Cheesese Mike Calvern here for the
Cheesecake factory.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Set that up for you, all right.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Man, hey, enjoy the game, and we're talking a week
right now back of the five twenty next weekend.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Okay, all right, great,
That's part of our non stop coverage of the NFL.
Your home for the twelfth Man proudly presents former Seahawks
head coach and Super Bowl champion Mike Combgrin. Brought to
you by Toyota of Kirkland. The championship team at Toyota
of Kirkland does all the little things that exceed your expectations,
and that's what makes Toyota of Kirkland so special. And
(00:20):
by work and more the Northwest Work were Superstore.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now from the.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Five twenty Bar and Grill in Bellevue.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Mike Combgran with Zufti and Dish. All right, we're back
here at Jimmy's on First.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
It's really too bad that Mike is not here, Dick,
to be totally honest with you. Here someone so comfortable here, Mike.
Some of your biggest fans are here. Literally we call
them the Home Grenettes and they are here today at
Jimmy's on First.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Let's let's hear it for coach.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh gred, oh great, o o oh.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I like that. I love you, be loved. They love
you here, Mike, they love you.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Wow. That is really something.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, another reason why you should leave the come join
us here at Jimmy's on first night. We'll be here
until seven o'clock tonight, actually will be off a point fifteen.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Let's talk about this one tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Man, We've been talking about who this is a bigger
game for Everybody seems to agree. It's a bigger game
for San Francisco because they had bigger preseason expectations. If
they lose this one, they're zero and three in the West.
But if the Hawks lose it, they've lost three in
a row and they're owing three in the NFC. So
talk to us about who you think needs this one
more tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Well, I think both teams need it, but I think
the forty nine ers need it more. And it's about expectations.
I mean, Seahawks, you know they won, they won the
first three games. They've had a couple tough ones, but
the expectation level for a new staff, a new new
program isn't the same as it is in San Francisco
right now, and I think they're pretty It's been a
(01:50):
rocky start and they need to get off the dime.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Coach talk about a rookie coaching staff playing in their
first ever short week. The numbers do not lend kindly
to rookie coaches in their first short week. Why is
it so difficult and how much behind the eight ball
will Mike McDonald and Ryan Grubby tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well, you know, if if it's the first short week
you've had, in the first Thursday night situation, how you
practice and how you prepare for that game? It is
an experimental kind of I mean, you got to see
first of all, what your team is, who's injured, what
can happen. You only have two days to do that,
(02:31):
and so yeah, I didn't know that stat but it
makes sense to me. It's like it's like guys going
to the super Bowl for the first time, you know,
planning the schedule. That's really different. You've never done it before.
That's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, Well, you know, in Dick's talking about what third
game in ten days, right Monday Sundays, I'm just.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Talking about this is the first short week, right Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But I'm talking about the point that we were talking
about earlier. And I'm sure that other teams have done it.
It's not typical obviously, as Dick point it out, But
is that I mean, I'm gonna sound kind of soft here,
to be honest with you, is that safe, honestly, Mike,
for teams to be playing three games in ten days
at this level.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I don't think it is. I don't think it is.
And when they when they came to those conclusions in
the league, it's all about the finances, and it's been
a big deal obviously Thursday night football and all that
kind of stuff. But if you just want to say, okay,
forget about all that, is this healthy for the players
and are they more likely to you know, pull something,
(03:35):
do something, get an injury? The answer is yes and
so but that fell on deaf ears And here we.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Are, coach, how do you evaluate this defense?
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I mean, they were healthy for the most part to
start the season, and they dominated teams that they should
have dominated. And now the teams start getting better, but
they also start getting less healthy. So is it are
they a good defense that's just not healthy or were
they just feasting on bad teams?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well? I thought I thought the first three games of
the season, if you wanted to pick three opponents to
kind of get your feet going a little bit in
the new organizations, you couldn't have picked three better opponents.
The offenses than those three teams were bad Okay, So
the what we got out of those three you know,
(04:25):
the wins. Wins are a win. That's that goes without
without saying. But what we got was, you know, now
we get into teams that can do a little bit more,
how do we handle that Detroit? You know, we kind
of expect that. I don't think that surprised anybody. Now
the Giants did. The Giants did, and that had to
do with not only the defense, but some injury situations.
(04:47):
But you can't you got to. Now they're heading into
a part of the schedule here where it gets. It
gets better than how they started. The opponents opponents.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Are better, right, Well, Mike congrins with us, and I
want you to go into the brain of Ryan Grubb,
all right, because Ryan Grubb has been getting criticized by
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Dick Faine has been leading the charge, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
He's been offering up pitchforks to anybody who wants to
go down to pick it in the.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
State you have to pay for membership. After the play.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Calling the last couple of games, he wants to run
the ball more. I think all of us would like
to see them run the ball more. Ryan Grubb came
out and said, we need to run the ball more.
How does that affect your psyche when you know you're
taking questions from the media, you know, the fans are
getting after you. How does that affect your psyche and
rhythm as a play caller tonight?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
If you're Ryan Grubb, oh, you know what's he's smart
and he's good at it, and he knows he's good
at it. We know he's good at it. Now what
happened in that last game that was very, very unusual.
We all feel he should run the ball more. I
said it, Everyone said it, he knows it, and now
they've said it. So how will he do it tonight?
(05:52):
He'll do what he thinks he has to do to
score points. That's how he'll do it. You know, all
the noise and stuff, yeah, I did. In fact, she
didn't like anyone to call you an idiot, you know.
But but he he you know, he's he's going to
do what he he does. You know. I was reminded
of the time in San Francisco, Uh, the year I left.
(06:14):
I was driving home from practice. We've gone through a
tough stretch, he had some injuries. I turned on the
radio in my car and Cat Cat he'd had the car,
so she fiddled with the radio and I before I
could turn it off, he kicked on to a sports
station and what the first words I heard? Homeworks got
to be the dumbest play caller in the league. And
(06:36):
before before I could get to turn it off, they
were laughing there. Oh it's bad, you know. But I
was still trying to do the same things I've always done,
and Ryan's going to be the same way. Yeah, he's
his job is to score points, move the football, so
he'll do what he has to do.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
See.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I buy a lot of that story you just said
about sports radio. What I don't buy is that you
came across the station on accident. I don't buy that
at all, because ever ever since listen.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
To mood music on the way I ever listen sports radio.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Ever since we've known you, you've always been a fan
of local sports talk radio.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Ever since you showed up.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Here in ninety nine, we've always known that you listen
to talk radio. So did you ever hear anybody in
this city going after anybody on this radio station go
after you?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Never? Good? That's why I like you guys so much. Good?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
All right, coach.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
When I hear a head coach at a press conference
say the words ken Walker has done a disservice, that
tells me that that head coach is not happy with
his offensive coordinator when he.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Uses that word.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Do you think there was a scolding or what do
you think the conversation was between Mike McDonald and Ryan
Grubb after that football game?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
You know what? I wish you hadn't said that. I mean,
you know there are times when you what goes that's
that's what goes on behind closed doors and doesn't get
out like that, you know, because that's that's you're saying
something about how the game was called, and you can't
you know, see was he can't? I don't think you
(08:08):
can do that. But so that surprises me a lot.
I had not heard that. But if someone were to
ask me, I'd say, Mike, you can't do that. You
know do that? You know you can feel that, and
you can talk to you can talk to Clark, you
can talk to Walker about it. You know, absolutely, listen,
we'll get you the ball more we should have. But
to come out and say that as a press conference
(08:29):
that surprises me, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Well, Michael grind's with us. Mike, what's your take on
brock Berdy?
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You know what, I like him more and more all
the time, Dave. I you know, so much was said
about where he was drafted and who he was and
how now he went to a good coach, He went
to a good team with players, good players around him.
But you watch him play. He can play. I mean,
he can flat play now, and I think that it's
a good example of a guy who's played a lot
(08:57):
of college football, a lot of college football, and he
took that with him into the league. He's he's resourceful,
he throws the ball very accurately, and no, I think
he's gotten better too. You cannot argue with what he's
done now. They struggled just a little bit at the
beginning of this season, but that's not on him. I
don't think. Well.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
The number is being thrown around is sixty million dollars
a year that they are going to have.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
To pay Rock Purty. I hope they do pay him.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
I as a Seahawks fan, I am praying they pay
Rock Purty sixty million dollars because coach, I mean, the
options seem to be that or do what the Seahawks
did do what the Bucks did, do what the Vikings
have done, and that's find a guy that's a decent
enough quarterback for much less than sixty million. I mean,
(09:48):
Gino's at like twenty five bakers even less than that.
Stam Darnold's even way less than that.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah, I think that that number had to be floated
by his agent, you know. And I know I know
the uh the quarterback price is out is out there.
It's really something. But this is his first this is
in his rookie contract. It's the next one, you know.
And so I don't think, in fact, I don't think
(10:16):
I believe he would accept less than me in the
highest paid quarterback in the history of sports, you know. So,
so I don't think that they're gonna have to worry
about that. He's gonna get paid. He should get paid more,
he should get paid more, but it's not gonna be
up there with those numbers. They don't think.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, well, Sam Darnold's a free agent when the year's over,
by the way, so if he ends up killing it
from Minnesota, he's gonna want thirty plus million dollars from
somebody next season.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
So I kind of agree with what you said.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I don't know if rock Perty is going to be
totally unreasonable and just start, you know, asking for the moon.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
But he is a serviceable quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
He's not elite, but he's serviceable, and they've got good
talent around him, as Jordan Mason kid. Kyle Shanahan's taken
some heat now in San Francisco. I saw were Emmanuatco.
We played this clip on the air the other day.
Emmanuoaco was saying that Kyle Shanahan is calling plays like
his dad's in the stands and he's trying to impress him.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Are you seeing that from Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
No, No, at Manuelacho, I had one of those guys
in Cleveland for a little while.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Remember which is because there's there's a couple of Ocho brothers.
I mean, there's a couple of guys floating around. Huh.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It may have been him by the look at him, Yeah,
I think so.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah. So he good guy, very very smart. I've seen him,
likes to talk and uh, but I wouldn't worry. No,
I don't. I don't think. I don't think Kyle's thinking
that way.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That was actually sorry, it was not a manual that
was uh it was Was it sam Ocho that played
for you?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, he may have been with you for a LAS linebacker. Yeah,
got it.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, yep, Gus, what have you thought of of Geno?
I mean, he's on pace to throw at six hundred
and eighty times this season. That would be the sixth
most in the history of the NFL. I can't imagine
that that pace is going to continue, especially after what
we heard.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
From Ryan Grubb.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
But just overall, we thought we would get see a
boost in Gino with Ryan Grubb as the offensive coordinator.
Have you seen a better Gino this year than you
saw in the past couple of years.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I think he started off this reminds me of two
years ago. Really. I think the three years two years
ago he was better than he was last year, but
not you know, he had a good year last year,
but two years ago he was really off the charts.
I think he has shown the ability to do whatever
you ask him to do. If you're coaching him as
(12:37):
a quarterback on your team, you're very very happy. Yeah,
you know, and I think listen, we've all talked run
the ball, run the ball, run the ball. There he's
going to do what he has to do to score
points and then move the football, And I wouldn't be
a bit they're going to run it more than they
did it last week, because that was that was craziness, right,
no doubt, there's Gino still got to do what he
(12:58):
does with the receivers we have, and you know that's
that's the smart thing to do. Really, that's the best
thing for their offense. I wouldn't see a dramatic change here,
but get Walker involved with Gino's Gino's doing great.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Hey, Mike Homer with us, Mike, I'm curious. Uh, Trey
Brown got picked to death by the Giants a week ago.
How much patience do you have with this guy? I mean,
he's obviously a second string guy for a reason, right,
Riek Willan's not playing the night, he's banged up, and
Trey Brown's gonna get some run. But honestly, knowing that
you're a little thin at corner, Ardy Burns has been activated,
(13:35):
I think is that right there? For tonight's game he'll
probably play Nickel. How much how much patience do you
think you would have with Trey Brown at corner before
you just say, look, I don't care how cent we are.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
We got to get him out of the game.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Well, you got to see how he's playing, and if
they're picking on him, and if if there is an
improvement over what happened the other night, the other day,
and if if I would expect there will be, I
would expect. He's got a lot of pride, you know,
And so it's I would expect to be better. But
if it's not, it's a what choices do I have?
(14:07):
Who can I put in there that I think is better? Right,
that's the decision they have to make.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
All right, Hey, coming up next.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't use you to do this because I like
just springing stuff on you, but I want you to
be able to think about your answer. We're gonna come
back next segment, Mike. We're talking more about the Niners
in Seahawks tonight. But I want to ask you, do
you believe Aaron Rodgers when he says he had nothing
to do with Robert Sala getting fired with the Jets?
All right, so go grab a sub sandwich or something.
We got a couple of cocktails. We'll be back in
about five minutes.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
All right, pal, got you?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
All right? Mike Ingram more with him.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We're at Jimmy's on First getting ready for the Niners
and Hawks tonight. Right here on ninety three three KJRFM Softie.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And Dick with Michelngrin from the five twenty Bar and
Grill in Bellevue. Continue on your home for the twelfth
Man Sports Radio ninety three point three kjr FM.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
All right back here a Jimmy's on First, See and
Niners coming up tonight. We'll do a little testimonials next segment,
Seahawk fans, what do you think of feeling good? What's
your confidence meter look like for tonight's game? Mike Conkan
rejoins us here on the radio show. Mike Robert Sala
was fired and he was replaced, obviously by a coordinator
(15:18):
from the Jets. They also have demoted Nathaniel Hackett. The
play caller Aaron Rodgers says, I had nothing to do
with it. Don't blame me.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Do you believe him when he says that, you know what,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Think directly he went in and said, you know, it's
either me or the coach. I don't think that happened.
But anytime you give a player, any player, the type
of juice he has, there I think you're going in
the wrong direction. I really do. I think when they
signed him, you know, he's not just a player. He's like,
(15:51):
he can sway opinions. He can talk to ownership if
they decide to do that. I don't think he did it.
I don't think he went in said this guy's got
a oh, but you know he almost suddenly he can
do it. You know, Dick here, you're a basketball guy too.
It reminds me when it was the Lakers coach West
(16:11):
west Head Magic Magic Johnson just went in and said,
this guy's got to go, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Because that was years ago. A player has that.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Kind of juice. When a player has that kind of juice,
I think the organization is going in the wrong direction.
The other thing is, now, what is Hackets supposed to do?
You know? I don't disagree with the fact that I
don't know. I don't think he does a great job.
But now they he's still going to be there on
the staff, the quarterback coach is going to be calling
(16:43):
the plays. What what does he do during practice? What
does he do? He's just there. So it's it's really
screwed up right now. And uh, now if Aaron All
of a sudden starts shooting lights out, okay with the
new coach, and so on and so forth. You will say, yeah, see,
we knew that, we knew that. I personally don't agree
(17:04):
with him. I think a coach, you know, has he
deserved to have a little more time solid.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Well, what I don't understand, coach, is if you're going
to fire a guy who is a win on Monday
Night football away from first place in the division after
five weeks, why didn't you just fire him in the offseason,
if you were going to give him that little of rope,
because it's not like the Jets.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Have been horrible.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah, no, I agree with you, Dick. I just to me,
I thought it was I just didn't like it, you know.
And so there are some franchises I think in the
National Football League that are owned by people that and
I might dealings with Woody Johnson were always real good. Yeah,
but there are some. But it's it's you know, they
(17:50):
think they were they are billionaires because they did something
in another industry. Now they come into football and they
have no idea, no idea, and if they decide to
mess around, they can with you.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, didn't you? Uh didn't you interview for a job
with what did Johnson?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Yeah? I know, he I was, you know, I was
flying back there to coach the coach the death. You
know that story, you know, I do, I do know
that story.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
So, and Kathy met him at a meeting after that
after I had declined it and said, I want to
kind of, you know, talk to mister Johnson and thank
him for this. So she goes over to him. I
was there, and I shake his hand. She goes, mister Johnson,
I just want to say, if Mike was a little younger, yeah,
you know, he would have he would have really he
would have really done this. And Whatody Johnson goes, You know,
(18:41):
I own a farm pharmaceutical company. We can make that happen.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well, Mike cong grins with us, and Mike we played
a clip from Stephen A.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Smith about Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Uh, he's got the worst QBR and a thirty two
quarterbacks in the National Football League. One are the Browns
home like two fifty total whatever left on his contract?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Something ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I mean, obviously Stefanski didn't make the move.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
The GM, the owner made the move.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
But if you're the head coach of that football team,
and you basically inherited a quarterback like the Sean who's
owned all that guaranteed money and is that awful?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Like Steven A.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Smith talked about, what do you do to kind of
climb out of this or make the most of this?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
You know, Dave, I don't know if they can right
away because of you know, he is guaranteed that money.
That's that's taxing your salary cap. And so he you know,
prior to prior to this, you know, he was he
was doing fine in the league prior to all this
stuff he had to go through. So I think if
there's if there's, they they will stay with him longer
(19:48):
than they would with other quarterbacks playing the way he is,
just because of the money and because he had in
the past shown the ability to play and play well.
So but you know, look, it doesn't well, don't get
me there. As I said, there are some organizations right
now that that makes it more difficult for the coach.
Let me put it that way, a coach.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
The DeVante Adams situation continues.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
To just drag out.
Speaker 5 (20:14):
How do you deal with a player that really doesn't
want to be there? He hasn't been He hasn't been
bad about it, he hasn't been poudy about it. But
he's made his you know, he's made his bed and
he says, you know, I'd rather be someplace else. And
how much does that impact somebody's trade value when you
know the guy really wants.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
To be traded.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
You know, I'd get rid of him. You know, I
tell you what he's and you say, wait a second,
he's this great player, Yes he is, but he's not playing.
He's not playing, and so what he what he is doing?
And you can't tell me he's not he's affecting the
other players. This is not this is not just one
man over there sitting and watching. He's a big star
(20:55):
for them and one of their big pickups and he's
decided not to But what's the message that he's sending
and they're sending to the rest of the teams. So
you gotta, you know, cut it off right now and
do what you have to do and and move forward.
But way, I would have no patience. I would have
absolutely no patience with something like that.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
No, I think we're all shocked to hear you say that,
by the way, that you have no patience whatsoever. But
Mike Congrin is with us, and Mike you played a
clip from George Kittle, the star tight end for the
forty nine ers, who said he loves playing in Seattle
because he knows how much the Seahawk fans hate the
forty nine ers. How much did you play that up
behind the scenes when you were in Green Bay and
(21:37):
you played Minnesota, you played Chicago, You're in Seattle when
you took over. You were in the AFC West for
a couple of years when you played the Raiders or
Kansas City, or maybe in the NFC when.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You played the Niners.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
How much do like, I always feel like the fans
have more of a rivalry with the opponent than the
players do. Is that accurate or is there just as
much hatred behind closed doors?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Oh? No, I think you play on that. You absolutely
play on that. You know. I did it in Green
Bay with Minnesota. That was you know, Detroit. We had
a good division there, but Minnesota was the one that
and the Bears. Of course I had to win that game,
you know. And then when I came to Seattle, you know,
and anytime I played against the guy or a playside
coach before you know, if you're in Seattley you play
(22:23):
Green Bay, or you're in Green Bay and you play
the forty nine ers. That always was a little extra
for me, and I talked about it, and I wanted
the players to know it, and if I was getting
more fired up, they were getting more fired up. That's
how I wanted it to be.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Coach.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
What do you think about the moves the Patriots just made,
starting Drake may So instead of the red shirt year
and just you know, let Jakobe Brissett be the quarterback
and if they go four and thirteen, they go four
and thirteen, they're pulling the plug after a one and
four started going with the rookie second overall pick.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
What do you think about that move?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Well, that was a move that was in the works.
And then a lot of do that the team do
exactly that they're going to get a young guy and
they don't want he's not quite ready. But even if
he is a little bit more ready than the guy
that they're playing, let's let him watch just a little bit,
let's let him learn. But then this was going to happen,
just when it was going to happen, right, you know,
(23:17):
I've been through that was through that with Makowski and
h and Farv. Do you get a guy in the
first round, he's going to be the guy? You know, Rarely,
rarely do you draft a guy like Aaron Rodgers and
then have him sit and watch for three years. Brett Farv,
you think you're gonna one year, maybe, But if the
(23:38):
guy's shooting blanks, you know for the first part of
the season you make, you can't get any worse, right,
you can't get any worse. So let's play.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Him, Mike before you go.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Marcus Truefont is on the flag tonight for the Seahawks.
All right, you drafted back in two thousand and three
with the eleventh pick overall in the NFL draft. Uh
Troy Paula Mally went five picks later, by the way,
and he's in the Hall of Fame. But Marcus Truffont
had a good career for you guys, one of the
best open field tacklers I've ever seen at that position.
What are your memories of Marcus Truffont when he played
(24:10):
for you?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, he was. He was really one of the key
reasons that we got to be where we got to be,
you know, And not only that, Dave he's really a
fine guy. You know. He did a lot in the community,
a lot of charity work. But as a football player,
he really he worked very, very hard. He was very quiet,
(24:32):
very quiet, and I liked that a little bit. But then,
you know, but then he played like he played hard,
and he was really a good player for us, and
so we were lucky to have him. It was a
good pick, yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
All right, man, enjoy the game.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
What's on the what's on the tailgating menu at the
homegroun Household full game and the can we come let's see?
