This is the Best of the Herd with Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio. It's Wednesday. Here we go. The Herd. From sunny Los Angeles, it's me, Jason McIntyre, still in. For Colin Cowherd, we have an unbelievable show today.

Yep, that screen is right. Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith joining the show later on, and obviously also UCLA coach Bob Chesney. Hey, he's a JMU guy.

Somebody graduated from JMU here. I'm joined by Rachel Nichols. I know she's excited. Big Ten media days.

I don't see any Northwestern people on that list. It's really confusing. Our great booker Dave is efforting someone on Northwestern, but we don't know who any of the players are.

So it's a bit of a toll. But Rachel has some big breaking news at the outset. She has seen Odyssey. Yes.

Survey says. Excellent. Excellent work. Very into it.

Love the whole thing. Yeah. What did the family think? Were they as on board?

Everyone was on board. We went and saw it in the full 70 millimeter IMAX experience as Nolan intended, as the internet will tell you. It was fabulous.

Yes. It was great. And quick. Went three hours.

Went by quick. Went by so fast. Not as quick as this show goes by in three hours. Yeah, I know.

Very quick. Hey, listen, we might need four today. The NFL takes are flying. Let's jump right into it.

Guys, you know, one of the things that Colin loves to say about this show is he wants interesting. Above all, he wants interesting. You know, if the takes are super hot, you may not like them. he's wrong who cares you're interesting we're making you think well we had somebody yesterday

on the show Warren Sharp really uh interesting individual guy who covers the NFL kind of his own deal and he said some fascinating stuff about the Seattle Seahawks and yes that we're talking about the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks the mighty Seahawks who beat the Rams twice last year.

I mean, they steamrolled the Patriots in the Super Bowl. But he thinks the Seahawks could be a prime candidate for regression. Now, I've been listening to a lot of NFL stuff. I've been devouring NFL content.

I ain't seen nobody say a word about the Seahawks taking a step back. Here's Warren Sharp yesterday on a potential regression for the Super Bowl champs. I don't think people realize the buttons that Kubiak was able to press last season

that changed dramatically from 2024 to 2025, dramatically reduced the rate of 11 personnel, three wide receivers on the field, dropped it down, used a lot more 12,

and was the number one most efficient offense out of 12 personnel. If this offense is not to that same level because Kubiak's ability to dial up these things

early on in games and on first down, keep the team ahead of schedule, he's no longer there. He's down in Las Vegas coaching the Raiders.

that's going to be a big time problem for this offense folks um it's weird 20 turnovers for sam darnel i somehow forgot that now you know i've been on the show here for a few years now you guys know i'm very numbers oriented right uh the sun sets and rises every day with the numbers that's my edge you know i didn't play football at any level how the hell am i on tv talking about nfl all
