to let it continue to churn while we listen to Russell
Wilson talked about last night's loss and also
the shoulder injury that he had entering the game
that happened against the Raiders a couple of weeks ago,
so did good, you know?
But listen, I think, the only thing that matters is US
winning.
You know, I'm not gonna sugarcoat. It only thing that
matters is US winning, and finding a way
been through tough times before. I know,
I know that
I know that we can come on the other side, we got too many
good football players and
and guys who work their butts off every day. And so we got to
make that happen and
you know, there's no excuse for, we got to we got to find a way
like once again. I thought we did some really good things.
We did some things that we should have tightened up and
done better. And so,
when I'm focused on is, you know, finding a way to keep
doing the good things that we were doing, you know what,
how do we keep doing those things and
and so,
you know, tonight was unfortunate, we should have won
that game. He felt like The we got to keep going.
You know what? He's getting closer to having a human
moment. He's starting to not believe his own BS. Like after
the loss to the Colts, he was able to deliver all that
smiling. And and I think he realized
You can't smile your way through it. You can't smile
your way through a crap performance. At some point, you
have to reflect in the way you deliver your comments, what?
Everyone else is feeling. They don't want to see you smiling
and happy.
After you've lost a game that you should have one.
They said they should have one last night. They should have
won the game against the Colts. They should have won both games
and I just feel like he's starting to realize. I still am
going to deliver the words
but I don't I'm not even going to try to sell that I believe
them anymore. And I think maybe after another loss or two
We're going to get closer and closer to and I want to
psychoanalyze the guy but but we're peeling the layers down
toward the real West. Russell Wilson one loss at a time. Well
I mean
I hear you. It's it's got to be it's got to be I guess, you
know, I give them a lot of credit and this is why I think
some people don't like them. Sometimes, your cheesy corny.
Whatever he is what he is. I don't like,
think it's fake. He wasn't cheesier corny. Last night,
though. Not as I'm saying the facade is starting to melt away
from Russell will, yeah, I hear you. I hear you. I do well
because it's just he's a beaten puppy right now
and what else could he say?
So he's got to start you know kind of being real with
the situation here a little bit and can't just always spin it as
wait. I'm oblivious to the world. The glass is half full
because that will like that will also be like the guys in
the locker room be like is this to delusional like what this
is. It's not sunny in the glass is not half full
you know, s*** out here is dark. And that there's a drop
of water left on the glass. Right now we are crappy, right?
So that's where you know, it is good to see that, but yeah,
the offense I just don't see signs of a turning around
and you know if they can squeak out wins, why they look ugly.
Okay. That softens the blow. As they try to figure that out on
that side of the ball. But
you know, it's winds are going to be tough. And if they lose
on top of looking ugly, man is just going to be
a lot more pressure. And people talking about this as
the week's go on
also did not end his press conference with Broncos
Country. Let's ride. Did not did not wowed. That's new that
may be their first time. He did not sign off with used to be go
Hawks
then it became let's ride.
And yeah well he's off the horse right there are occasions
where it just doesn't work. And you know what? It's a testament
to how great he was in Seattle, that they were never. This bad.
There was never a time
when we were, like, what the hell is wrong with
the Seahawks? What the hell is wrong with Russell Wilson?
That's what makes this so special. Stunning, 10 years
of good, to Great to excellent
for the entire team
and for Russell Wilson
and we never ever
had been in this situation where like
this guy just didn't very good
and that's the thing with franchise quarterbacks
once we know they're great, they stay great. Having a guy
fall off like this doesn't happen. It's why there's
limited risk in signing a guy to a massive contract. Well,
the Broncos
Yeah, they're stuck with Russell Wilson at least through
2025 unless they want to take a massive in crippling
cap hit and at some point if this continues, you just have
to rip off the Band-Aid and deal with it but this is
stunning. It's unprecedented in the salary cap age. I can't
think of another time where a guy who was.
He's only 34? I don't know. Is he? He turns 34
next month, he's right in that golf. In the early to mid 30s,
he should not be falling off like this. And I want Tom,
Brady is still going fairly strong. Age 45. Yeah. Aaron
Rodgers in his late 30s. Matt Ryan and his late 30s. This
shouldn't be an age thing for Russell Wilson. I don't know
what it is. You know what else is going to happen after every
loss? We're going to hear another injury. Now, there's
a hamstring that supposedly happened. Fourth quarter of
last night's game. So you got the shorter, get the hamstring.
And if he's ever
benched,
I don't see nothing anybody to bench him for well, they don't
but he's never. He's never going to be benched. He's going
to be 200 to play before he's ever benched. Yeah, no, it's
it's crazy. It is Is
he he's taking some hits
you know and a lot of that and
I will say a lot of it. Again,
their offensive lines solid, it's not great. I know I know
we had moments to see in Khalil Mac and Company collapse
the pocket. But men, as we talked about earlier, some of the Hits
and The Running is also just it's him, it's unnecessary,
it's him not working, the offense, work in the pocket
and a mic. I mean it is shocking to see and I can't
remember
a move by a big-time quarterback like this, that's this bum.
P where, you know, we're just so accustomed to see him be
a clutch and the way he, you know, the way he plays and
operates it just,
it's all in shambles right now.
The one thing you know, is he's going to continue to work. I'm
not gonna like throw in the white towel on Russell Wilson
yet, that's for sure. I'm not,
he's, he's been in these it, you know, problems and battled
back before, but this is, as bad as we've seen it. And,
you know, it's like he's getting used to a new culture,
a new offense, he's feeling all the pressure like you're
talking. About and
you know to your point to with what you're saying with Pete
Carroll I think there's a little Merit to they figured
out, maybe what, how Russell played and operated and played
a style of football, you know, that was best for him
while also probably,
you know making him like this a little bit and the way he plays
quarterback to that's adding to, you know, some of these
problems that were all talking about right now.
They hit his flaws so well that other people didn't realize
the flaws were even there.
That's basically what it came down to.
They made that right now. They managed him in a way that cause
remember, I used to say about the Seahawks because we
believed it, hey Seahawks, if you don't regard, this guy's
a franchise quarterback trade into a team that does
and they did. And he's not that. That's what's amazing
about
all of this. Now, let me, let me throw this one out there.
Yeah, because they have the four and two Jet's, right?
Coming to town
this week rematch at the 1998, AFC.
Ampionship game. We have managed to mention both
championship games from the 1998 season. Saw the Broncos
win their second straight Super Bowl but they lose that one.
Let's say if we don't know, we don't know and we're not
allowed to say, maybe they will because
Aaron Rodgers doesn't want that negative energy manifested and
he was right then they go to London to play the Jaguars and
who the hell knows what the Jaguars? But, you know, Chris
the bye weeks after the London game.
And
there's so much Focus. Now on Russ that we've kind of
forgotten that And you'll hack it isn't getting it done.
Can you rule out the Walmart crowd?
Just saying, let's have EJ ever row. Ride this thing through to
the end of the season. I mean if we're going to lose him
anyway
after the year as a head coaching candidate elsewhere,
let's give him the rest of the season to see if he can
simplify this,
turn it around. Let the team run through the defense
and let's come up with a way to get Russell Wilson to play.
Like he did when he was winning a Super Bowl with a team that
wait for it. Ran through the defense. Yeah I mean
I hope not
and for my money we haven't gotten there,
I wouldn't again this it's not easy what we're talking about
here,
it is a first time head coach. I understand that but this is
where I would want to know the wall. So 70 condone he's five
in one eye. I mean look around. I'm your father first time
coaches are doing well which does not help Nathaniel hacking
in his argument at all. No it doesn't. And then the biggest
thing is just the week. One decision that I think really
piles on to this Station all together.
Now, but yes, I understand that, but at the same time I,
if I'm the Walton family, I gonna go. Wait, I'm gonna trust
the people that we have here, football-wise that made this
decision,
it's still very early on in this process.
And and the biggest thing to me is right now,
if they were really good,
if I was in a sit-down with the Walton family and we're gonna
watch some film, let's sit down Walton family and watch some
film. They're going to see that
they're the bigger issue.
Who is the quarterback right now? It's not the fact that
people aren't open and again, I haven't gone back to watch
the film a last night or anything like that. So I can't speak to
last night, but I've talked about this on my podcast. I've
shown things on social
and all of that to where
it's not like the offenses and delivering some places to throw
the football. I come away every week, writing a page of notes
going.
This is unbelievable. This got there's people open all over
the field and he just won't make it happen that way too. So
that's where I guess.
I have a little bit of a side of me that wants to stick up
for Nathaniel hack. It right now because of what you're
talking about, I mean, maybe the Seattle really did know
that there was these issues
and they just it's all coming to us,
you know, front and center right now
because they can't play a style of football, maybe just as a
support it make the stats look good and then he can have
the ball at the end of the game to make magic happen. And I don't
think he's capable of making magic but I wouldn't go there
yet. Mike
long story short
by the way that was Broncos. Limited partner sir Lewis
Hamilton seven-time F1 world champion sitting between Rob Walton
and Greg. Penner
and Sir. Lewis Hamilton
had to be thinking
last night given his sport driving around in the race car.
He had to be thinking.
This s*** is boring.
All right. Look at him.
He's like, what is it? When does the race start?
Can we put some cars out on the field?
Could that make it more exciting? He's got to be
wondering what? The hell? He got himself into The Waltons
and the penner's have to be wondering. They got themselves
into and that's where I think some of the urgency may come
from when they get to the bye week because
they had 11 days. They had the most time you can ever have
between games without a bye week from Thursday to a Monday
and that was all we're going to go back to the lab. We're going
to fix things and the end of the day it looked fixed early.
Yeah. And then it all fell apart again.
