SPEAKER_1 (0:01)

This is VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. Welcome to Thursday Night Betcast with Keyshawn Johnson and Patrick Meagher, right here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network.

Keyshawn Johnson (0:19)

You can look at it and tell he was wide open. I told you that, Larry.

Patrick Meagher (0:22)

I just saw a smile from Key. You hear Key breaking it down, so let's go straight to him. JSN, you said he needs to get some help, but he can make magic, Keyshawn.

Keyshawn Johnson (0:30)

No, he does need to get some help, but I told Larry, we're sitting here, pre-snap read, I'm like, he wide open. He literally wide open. You can tell based on the defense scheme and the coverage, I'm like, I gotta just join the boy, wide open.

And they got it, got the first down, picked it up, but they've got to get him some help. And he's probably saying to himself, man, I got some help, this here is driving me nuts. Can't run the football at the level that we need to, from a year ago, because Kenneth Walker's no longer there, Charles Chabernet is on the shelf as well. And when you look at Cooper Cup, this is, mark my words, this is Cooper Cup's last year in Seattle. He'll be, not last year in the National Football League, but in Seattle, because he'll wind up doing a year or two in some place like the Raiders, because Kubiak had him, he won the Super Bowl. He'll give him a mulligan and let him go, you know, hey, here's a couple of million dollars, come to teach our young receivers. We just drafted, that's kind of what you'll see. And then Shahid is really a gadget player.

Patrick Meagher (1:29)

You're right, more of a return. But as you say that, Shahid with a big pickup, let's go Key. And JSN, that's a gadget, but that's called a gadget.

Keyshawn Johnson (1:39)

That's a gadget.

Patrick Meagher (1:39)

Tell me what you saw there.

Keyshawn Johnson (1:41)

That's a one trick pony, a go route, good pass by Sam Darnold. But that's a one trick pony.

What does he run? A reverse, a fly sweep, a go route, a post. That's a one trick pony. Jack of all trades and a master of none.

Patrick Meagher (2:00)

Hey, Seattle might not be cooking, but Keyshawn is. We'll take the pickup though. Let's go. I do have some notes from the community page. I'll ask you in just a second. He almost did drop it. I saw the replay too.

Here is Seattle. By the way, I mentioned the community page. You can go to vsin.com/community. Here's our buddy Trevor White who asked Keyshawn, is it Drew Lock time? Seattle looking at one in three since Darnold's return, constantly under pressure, can't find his targets, can't throw more than 15 yards down the field. Is it time to look to another quarterback in this spot?

Keyshawn Johnson (2:35)

No, it's not. Let's not play quarterback, Monday morning quarterback. It's not time for Drew Lock. I understand Drew Lock play well at times against the Arizona Cardinals and whoever else they played in mop up duty against the New England Patriots and Drake may turn the football over. Let's just calm down, man.

SPEAKER_1 (2:53)

Let's just take it easy.

Keyshawn Johnson (2:55)

Take it easy.

Patrick Meagher (2:56)

All right. Here's Darnold, who is getting flushed, just like Trevor said. It is going to be third in seven, a big spot here for Seattle. Who needs to get on the board? 14-3 Denver leads. Plenty of time to go, though. Four and a half is the adjusted in-game number. So that has come down from seven and a half all the way up to eight and a half with Denver.

Keyshawn Johnson (3:18)

You know, this game, this game has me feeling, Patrick, like I'm just going to eat myself to sleep.

Patrick Meagher (3:24)

Oh, really? This is going to eat.

Keyshawn Johnson (3:26)

This is one of them games. I was like, give me a 30 ounce steak. Why not?

Patrick Meagher (3:32)

I'm going to go to Barry's and eat your feelings.

Keyshawn Johnson (3:34)

Gosh, like seriously. Eat those feelings.

Patrick Meagher (3:38)

Come on, we have a chance here. Let's go.

SPEAKER_4 (3:39)

No, I didn't say it was doom and gloom.

Keyshawn Johnson (3:42)

Never said this.

Patrick Meagher (3:43)

Well, you're not going to be happy here as Darl takes a sec.

Keyshawn Johnson (3:47)

We'll take the three. We'll take the long field, go and take the three.

Patrick Meagher (3:51)

It's going to be about forty seven ish yards for Seattle, looking to get on the board.
