00:00What are we getting out of Sam Darnold?
00:01They're saying everything positive in Seattle, Tom.
00:04But when I look at those practice reports, I see limited on Wednesday,
00:07limited on Thursday, and some question of, like,
00:09we were just talking about a quote came up.
00:11Darnold's like, yeah, if I see a guy open, I think I can let it rip.
00:14Well, that just shows you're not even fully confident that you can let it rip
00:16if you have to answer questions like that.
00:18This line sits at two and a half.
00:20But, again, same thing I asked you on Stidham.
00:22What are we getting out of Sam Darnold, and should we be worried?
00:25You know, I think we should be worried.
00:26And last week, looking at his stat line in really conjunction
00:30with Ken Walker's stat line, I think that is, like,
00:33the upper end of the outcome on the bell curve.
00:35Like, Ken Walker, we know that Sam Darnold's not fully healthy.
00:39They're at home.
00:39The game gets out of hand, so he's seeing extra carries based on the game script.
00:43And then, ultimately, he's going up against a defense that is bad
00:45to begin with with the 49ers, and ultimately they quit on the game.
00:49So all these things are magnified by the time that he's able to get
00:52three touchdowns over 100 yards, all these carries.
00:54You know, we can't be expecting that from him again.
00:56I think Sam Darnold obviously needs to be better than what he was last week.
00:59But if we see a lack of success from Sam Darnold in the passing game,
01:05I'm worried about their offense moving.
01:07I'm worried about them potentially keeping up with the Rams.
01:09If the Rams are able to get to 17, 21 points,
01:12we know that the Rams' defense will also be at their best in this game,
01:15and they can maybe keep the Seahawks under control.
01:18This will not be a shootout as we saw, like, a month ago
01:20on that Thursday night game.
