Chuck in the Morning 8-31 Hour 3: MMQB with Hugh Millen · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Season will get underway in nine days and then we
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: will do a monday morning quarterback like you won't believe
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: on a thursday we've never done a monday morning quarterback
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: on a thursday that's in the regular season we're rebels
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: think about that i think that week we should do
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: taco tuesday on a friday uh I think we should
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: do football.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Manic Monday.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Thursday.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Let's have a manic Thursday.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Right. And then we'll have a football.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Instead of a football Friday, we do football Tuesday.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: We just whack it off. Just whack it out right
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: across the board. Shuffle it up.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Hugh Millen is with us. A lot to react to.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Roster stuff. And, of course, the final preseason game of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the year, a 9-9 tie with the Kansas City Chiefs
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on Friday night.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Hugh. Good morning. Great to be with you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent to have you, and there is a lot
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to discuss. Let's start with the game, though. Let's begin there,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and I want to talk about Jalen Milrow. He became
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the story going into the game. He was going to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: play all four quarters. Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he looked much better Friday than I've ever seen him,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and he faced all three. First string, second string, third
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: string defenses today.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: On Friday.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: He didn't light it up, but I thought he made
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of really good throws on Friday.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: What did you see? Oh, I couldn't agree more. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: thought he had a big step up. I think it
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: was needed. I've always thought that probably for any player,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: certainly I've thought for quarterbacks, you want to look good.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: In the days of four preseason games, if you could
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: have two good ones, you want them to be the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: first one and the last one. The first one, so
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: that you stay in your plans. And the last one,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that's right before the cuts or they're solidifying the plans, right?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: If you're going to play poorly, play poorly in the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: middle ones. And I think that he, in that light,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: left them with something to feel like, okay, we're making progress.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Compare that to a year ago at Green Bay at
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: three turnovers, really didn't have a lot of big plays. And,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and you, that was a game where he started the,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and played the entire game. So, so we have that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: kind of, you know, capsule to, uh, to compare it to, and, uh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you know, just much better. I mean, he had eight, uh,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: completions over what, what, what the ball in the air
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: over 10 yards in the preseason, five of them came
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: against the chiefs. And, uh, you know, he, he, uh,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: his average depth, the target, he pushed the ball down
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the field. It was 10.4 yards. That's, 2.6 above the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: average with a clean pocket, 12 of 17, 147 yards.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Play action, 7 of 9, 103 yards. Of those five completions,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: we'll get into those in a minute, but 10 or
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: more air yards, four of the five were inside the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: numbers where you have to do some processing on a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: couple of occasions. He's getting– into as late as his
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: third receiver on that. So I thought his pocket presence
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and his response to pressure, he stayed in the pocket
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: when he should. He had some movement when that was warranted.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And so I think you give him a very good
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: grade for just how he handled and navigated the pocket.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a big step up in his quarterbacking.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he even had a touchdown run, and I know
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it got brought back by a penalty, but even that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: was a good decision, good path, made it look easy.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So even that, I thought, stood out for him, even
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: though someone committed a penalty on the play.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you watch a lot of tape, and the plays
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: are constructed where you say, hey, this is a read zone,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: or we're having a RPO, and what that means is
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: is you tell the offensive line, let's say you're going
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to run inside zone to the right, just an inside
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: plunge to the right. But we're not going to block
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the alley area outside of the core of the formation
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to the left because if they just wash it down,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: then you say, quarterback, you have to keep it. You're
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: part of the blocking scheme. Or throw it to the RPO.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And a lot of these preseason games I watch and
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like, we're, we're, you know, quarterbacks are making bad decisions.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: They're not, they're not pulling the ball when they need to.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: So for him to keep it in the alley, you're right. But, uh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you know, the, the, the, if I can just touch
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: on a few of those, those, uh, passes, you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I think the, the, uh, Cody white, the, um, the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: 40 yard post that's probably on everybody's mind. And remember
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in the first quarter from the end zone, that's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: five man rush. The chiefs are playing zone behind it. Usually, uh,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Teams play three deep, three under. There's a little bit
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: more of a proliferation of too high. Football coaches will
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about, where there's a palms coverage,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: where it's complicated, where the corners, they can either be
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in the flat, depending if there's somebody in the flat,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: or they can back off and race out of there
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: if everything goes vertical. Anyways, because it's just six guys
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: instead of seven in the zone, the defense kind of
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: has to match some guys. So to Milrow's left, he's
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: got Montori Foster going on a deep over-the-ball sit-down. That
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: eats up the safety to his left, Milrow's left. So
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: now he's looking at Cody White, and he's got to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: beat the corner and the safety to his right. But
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: in the covers that I described, and there's a purpose
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to it, that backside corner can fall off. So as he's,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: as Milrow is looking to his right and he's saying, oh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I like how he beat that safety. Let me flatten
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the ball away from him. And that would be the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: perfect angle. No, no, no, not that backside corner from
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the other side could fall into the play. So there's
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: a more of a precise location that he had to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: put that ball. He put it there. And you get
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: 40 yards. You know, he comes back and he hits
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Elijah Roy on a glance route from under center play action.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: He goes to his right five steps. Now, the ball
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: was on the minus 44-yard line, the Seahawks 44-yard line.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: He ends up getting 24 yards wide. because he has
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: this footwork where he stops, he doesn't take a hitch,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: he's perfectly balanced, he takes no steps in his throw,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: he gets the ball on Arroyo early. The ball is
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: caught at the opposite 41-yard line, and because the timing
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: was right, because his feet were right, now the nickel
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that comes at Arroyo is just a little later, there's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit more time for Arroyo to sidestep him,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: make him miss, so he catches at the 41, he
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't get tackled to the 31. So if Milrow would
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have got the completion had his feet been a little
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: bit off and he was a little late, but he
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: gets 10 more yards on the completion because Arroyo's able
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to make a guy miss because the ball's on him quickly.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: On the Montori-Foster dig route, The anticipation he had, he
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: had the left tackle, right tackle, and the right guard
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: get walked back into his pocket. He just stands there
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: impervious to it, throws an anticipatory play in between what's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: called the hook defenders. Think of like the second baseman
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and the shortstop. Now, they're a lot tighter, but as
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you come into the window in between them, you got
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to turn that ball loose. So his anticipation was better
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: than what we've seen. Two more. He throws to Henderson
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: on a dig. This is cover zero. There's no safety, right? Now,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: credit the Seahawks. They did get a hat on a hat.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: They had six guys to block, and all six of
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: them picked somebody up. But there's a lot of things
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: closing in on him. So he makes it as a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: right-handed quarterback. He closes his hip and goes to his left.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: If you freeze the tape right there, the defense is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: well on the path to winning the play. That's like
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the pitcher being in an 0-2 count. At this point,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: this is going to be hard. But he takes a
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: couple steps to his left, and then he flips his
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: hips around, gets back into the throwing position for a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: right-handed quarterback with a guy bearing down right in his face.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: He throws this in route to Henderson, and Henderson makes it. Now,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: the ball was a little high. Henderson makes a great
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: play on the ball, catches it, decline the penalty, get
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: 26-yard gain down to the one-yard final one. He goes
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: play action under center to his left. Now he's got
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: his turn. Because he's going to his left as a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: right-hand quarterback, he turns his back to the defense. It's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: cover one. It's man-to-man, and there's a slot shake route.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: A shake route is a post corner. From the left side,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: he's going to go into the post, then breakout back
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to the corner, man-to-man press. So he has to hold
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: the ball a little longer. It's not late. It's not
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: really early, but it's not late. But because he had
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to hold the ball, the center eventually takes an L.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: The nose tackle's coming right, bearing right at him and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: gave him a nice little rib shot after he threw it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But he throws on man coverage, you know, got to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: keep a guy on the move over to the left sideline.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: That's the one that was outside the numbers. All the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: other four were inside the numbers. And, you know, not
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a perfect pass. I grade accuracy on a scale of
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: zero to five, with five being like... like dinner plate accuracy,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: hit a target the size of a dinner plate. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: wouldn't give it a five. Maybe it's a four, but
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: it was enough. And it was damn impressive. And what
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: did I have the air yards? 26 air yards on
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a 30-yard completion with a guy– with a nose tackle
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: bearing down on you. So very impressive plays, um, really
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: all the way around. So, you know, big step forward
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: for the, uh, the third string quarterback.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just like poise. Like he didn't seem rattled in
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the pocket and he just delivered his throws, even on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the touchdown. I know it was an easy touchdown to Vinette, um,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: wide open, but. I mean, a rookie might rush that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: But he just seemed to, all game long, just kind
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: of feel comfortable and relaxed. They say the game slows
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: down for you. And to me, I think the game
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: slowed down for Jalen Melrose this week.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I think that's an excellent observation. I agree with you.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: He looked like it felt natural. He had a hook
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: route that I didn't describe out where he smoked it out.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Was that to Foster, but to his left side work?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: He obviously showed his arm strength because he doesn't have
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: to have a big crow hop and he doesn't need
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to have his body entirely behind the throw. He can
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: just kind of stand there and then snap his hips
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and generate a lot of velocity. He smokes a hook route,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: as I said, in anticipation. Just everything looked comfortable to him.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: And I think exactly what you just said, I'm not
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: sure I can add to it. He did look. uh,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: very naturally poised, you know, that, that touchdown that you,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: you talk about, obviously when you see a guy wide
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: open like that, that's, that's, that's Brian Flory. Like you
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: just won that. That's an offensive coordinator win against the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: D you know, Spagnola's on the other side. Right. Um,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: but when you get a guy that wide open, uh,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: through the, the combination of the routes, uh, the formations,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: what have you, uh, guy standing wide open in the,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in the end zone, uh, credit the offense coordinator which
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: immediately caused me to think back to the uh the
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: cowboy game on the fourth down down at the one
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: yard line where that i looked at that i called
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that that's just a mess in fact we talked on
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: monday and uh after that game or whatever the day
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: was after the game and uh you know i just
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: said whoa that that play call uh was that that
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: for a new a first-time play caller i'm like because
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: you watch the tape there's nobody open and And it
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: wasn't really great defense. It was just, you know, poorly constructed. Anyways,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: for him to get his quarterback a wide-open touchdown like that,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: you got to credit Flory as well. But, yeah, very,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: very good showing for– and there were some drops in
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: there too. Yeah. So very good showing for Milrow. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: think the path, if we kind of take the helicopter
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: and raise up and we say, okay– Drew Locke is
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: in his last year in the con of the contract.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I think what the Seahawks want is for Milrow to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: be the number two next year. And that, that path
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: was in jeopardy up until Friday night. I feel like
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: they think, okay, maybe we got this thing back on
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the highway instead of the exit ramp, um, on the plan. Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, 16 to 26, 223 yards, a touchdown, uh,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: no interception. So, uh, Nice work for Jalen Milrow. Hugh
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Millen is with us Monday morning, quarterback session, final preseason
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: game in the books, a 9-9 tie with the Kansas
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: City Chiefs. We're going to get into more of the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: roster moves later on in the hour, but I want
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about one other thing from the game itself,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and that is, do we have a kicker problem? We
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: touched upon it last week. I expressed a little bit
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of concern, and we didn't see if there was an
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: adjustment made It's that he had been pushing everything to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the right, and he decided, here's my adjustment. I'm going
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to miss to the left. I'm going to hook one
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: grossly to the left. So what are you seeing with
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Jason Myers right now? And with nine days until the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: first game, can you get this thing fixed in practice
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: in the next.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Week and a half? Well, I think the concern is
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: not nothing. I mean, he's a pro. He's been very good.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: He'll probably get it right. But I would be chewing
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: on my nails a little bit harder if this game
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: against the Patriots comes down to a needed field goal.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at the preseason. He had makes of
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: 48 and 46 yards. He missed a field goal in
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: every game, 45 in the first one, then 44, then
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: 52 that would have won it the other night. Extra points.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Now he missed an extra point against the Titans. It
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: was 48 yards due to a penalty. How about the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: other night? Was it fourth quarter and you got a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: chance to go up 10-9? That's a game-winning extra point.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: We just pull it. I don't even know if it's
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: short enough to be called a hook. He just pulled
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: it left. I'm concerned because kickers as a, as by default,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: they're just emotional butterflies. So I'm always, uh, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: concerned how the wind's going to catch them, um, in,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: in some regard emotionally. And, you know, I'd say ball
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: flight wise too, um, you know, having held just kind
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: of watching how these guys, you know, well, I helped
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: for some good ones. Jeff Jagger at Washington, Jason Elam
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: at the Broncos was a, you know, multiple pro bowl
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: type player. Um, And watching other guys and sitting in
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: special teams meetings and what have you. And it's my
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: belief that the most reliable ball flight is a slight draw.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: This should surprise nobody. Think about, you know, if you
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: can get a golfer, get a nice high draw like
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a Greg Norman. Maybe I'm dating myself on that one.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But but but a high draw on off the leg
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of a kicker. you know, just kind of starts right
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: center and then pulls, uh, uh, just, just draws left.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what Harrison Bucker, that's exact ball flight
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: that Harrison Bucker had on his, uh, on his 69
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: yard field goal last weekend. Yeah. Not 59, 69. Right. And,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and so, so I think it's more reliable. It gives
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: you best distance. Um, and, and we haven't seen that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: kind of ball flight. We're seeing like the ball, going
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: at the target and then having some weird fade. And,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and it's just, those are harder to, to predict. Um,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: now he's had pushes and low pushes and high pushes and, and, and, uh,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you know, fades as I'm describing. So he had all
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: kinds of wonky ball flight. This preseason. Now, you tell me.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I'm happy to play by any rules you want. If
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you say the rules are we don't care anything about preseason,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I'm happy. I'm not going to push back. Yeah, you're right. Okay.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: All right. Then my analysis is who cares what he did?
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: He's ready to go win the game winner with five
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: seconds to go from 49 yards against the Patriots, obviously,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: because he was a good kicker last season. That's a
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: fair take. I'm not going to– I don't feel strongly
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: about this, but I– I'm kind of surprised a kicker
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: this good. The Seahawks go 0-2-1 in the preseason. You
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: could easily argue, just say, if we kick the ball right,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: they're 2-1. Until he makes a couple field goals, get
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: back in a groove, and until he makes somewhat of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a pressure kick, doesn't have to be the game winner
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: with three seconds to go. It could be 12 minutes
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to go in the fourth quarter when you kind of
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: need it. There's varying levels of need and importance, and
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: so I think he's got to get his mind right.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got to be mental. I mean, he's not
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: kicking that way in practice and just saying, you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I've done enough today. I know I can't make a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: field goal, so I'm going to go home. You know
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that he's getting the results he wants during practice, and
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: then we've gotten into the game so far this year,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and they're just preseason games. Not a lot of pressure
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in these games. And yet, and yet he's, he's missing
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and he's missing badly. And yeah, I do register it.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: As a concern. Well, when, when you're, I mean, come on,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you're it, it's nine to nine and you score a
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: touchdown and you say, okay, we, we just kick, we
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: kick this extra point. Um, you know, the way defense
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: is playing, this is, this is a game winning extra
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: point and you were going to win. We're going to
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: win this thing, 10 and nine. We're going to go, yay,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: we're going to get on the plane and fly back,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: and then we kind of feel a little better about ourselves.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And then you just pull it. So at any event,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's a concern more than nothing. And then
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: you tell me how much we could be concerned, and
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I'll agree with you.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Hugh Mellon is with us. Monday morning quarterback session. A
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: lot to discuss today. Certainly we've got the game. Certainly
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: we've got roster decisions. And we kind of have a
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: combination of the both as well. So we'll continue our
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: conversation next on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, great morning. to you all.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: It is Chuck Powell and Ashley Ryan with you here
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: on this Monday. So much to discuss here today. We
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: have our QB1 on with a Monday morning quarterback session
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: wrapping up the final preseason game, which of course bled
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: right into Sunday, where the Seahawks set their 53-man roster
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: to begin the year, even though there's probably going to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: be some changes made between now and next Wednesday. Uh,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: right now they have committed to the, uh, 53 man roster.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about it all morning long, but we
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: haven't been talking about it with Hugh Mellon. And so, uh,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: let's get our QB ones thoughts. Uh, just, uh, I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: don't want to point you in any direction. Um, uh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: what your, what is your biggest or biggest couple takeaways
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: from seeing the roster?
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I think as I, I perused down at the first
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: thought to me was there's only two healthy safeties. Uh,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: now Eamon worry, um, He falls into the safety category. Obviously,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: he's not considered healthy today. But I kind of view
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: him more the Sam linebacker, nickel Sam. Many people call
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: it the star. But I don't think of him as
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: a back-end safety like Okada and Julian Love. So there's
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: only two back-end safeties. That's odd to me. You know,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the corner... situation has been, you know, newsworthy to say
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the least, uh, the way it's been revolving and all the,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you know, the, and I look, I look at the roster,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I go, Avery Smith, how the hell did I miss that?
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: You know, like, like what, you know? And so, um, the,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: the trade acquisition from the chargers went back and tried
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: to watch some tape. Uh, you know, I, I think
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: that's interesting that, Did.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: You find any?
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Could you find any? Yeah, I watched some tape of
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: him with the Chargers, and he had 141 snaps, which
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: is a lot of snaps, right? 52 were on the outside.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Everything else was some form of being on the inside.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So I think that's a factor, which is– it makes me–
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: pause about, not pause in a critical way, but I
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: just find it interesting the way the NFL operates. And
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: none of this is, again, to be construed as a critique. Hell,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: John Snyder's the best GM in football. But you go
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: all season, preseason rather, and Andre Fuller was lining up
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: as the nickel. You know, with Eamon Warrior, you had
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys line up there. You know, Rodney
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Thomas was back. D'Anthony Bell was a nickel. you have
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: these guys in camp and then at the end of
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the camp, you say, you know, there's, there's a, there's
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: an undrafted free agent down there with the chargers that
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I think would be better. Let's get, let's part with
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a sixth rounder instead of, you know, Andre Fuller who,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: who we drafted, you know, you know, it's just that, that, and, and,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: you know, look, that's where you're chasing edges. You know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: if this guy comes in and does something for you,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: you say, you know, he was probably coming, you know,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: coming at the end of August, you know, he's probably,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I'm holding my finger an inch apart. He was probably
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: that much better, but somehow they, they identified it. They,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: they saw it and they think that they thought he
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: was that much better of an upgrade. So they go
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: ahead and make the acquisition. So, so I think the,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: at least defensively where they were in the secondary is
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: what kind of, Grab my attention at first. Yeah.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: The three safeties, two of them healthy. And then you
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: have five cornerbacks that were kept. One of them's not healthy.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: One of them's brand new. And the other one was
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: pretty much criticized all camp long and Nehemiah Pritchett.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: And then you only have three running.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Backs on the roster as well with only one that
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: we know of that is healthy right now. I suppose
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: all three are healthy. We just know that two of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: them were held out all preseason partly because of health reasons.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: To me, it seems like you've got small numbers and
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: not great health at three different critical positions here.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the running back one didn't grab me as much.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Just because of how you want to go into a
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: game actively. Brady Russell, you would say he's a tight
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: end fullback. Technically, you could say he's a back, you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: that would push it into four. You know, there's a
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: special teams part of it. I mean, to have three
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: active ball carriers seems right. Now, I think that you
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: need somebody on the practice squad or somebody available in
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the event of an injury. But if you were going
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: to line up and play, if you had to play
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the Patriots tonight, if Price is healthy and Emmanuel Wilson
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: is healthy, healthy and George Helani is healthy. Uh, you
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: don't need all three of those. And all three of
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: those were active. I mean, I haven't, you know, gone
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: through the minutia of, of all of the special teams rosters.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I'll kind of wait to see how that plays out,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: but you know, that's obviously a factor, but that, that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me, but to only have two, two safeties
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: on your roster that are backend safeties, um, That surprises
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: me more. Right. But you do make a point about
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the running backs. I mean, we've done a lot of
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: talking over the last couple weeks about where they are
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: at the running back position. And you just kind of
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: hold your breath. And Jadarian Price, remember now, he was
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the backup to Jeremiah Love at Notre Dame. You're asking
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: him to take on a workload that he's never taken
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: on at big-level football. I'm sure he was probably– The
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: primary guy in high school, I haven't dug deep on that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: But he wasn't at Notre Dame. So anyways, he's your
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: starting halfback. And the guys behind him, I think this.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I'm concerned that there's not really what jumps out to
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: me as a number two running back. I think that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: there's a couple of number three running backs. And, of course,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Charbonnet is certainly– you know, he's a quality number two.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: So until he comes, there's a concern there, the number two,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: the depth at running back. I'd say the same thing
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: for wide receiver. You tell me who's the number two.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Because as I look at the roster, I don't think
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: any of them have established themselves where you would say, okay,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: that's a guy that we feel solid about as number two. Now,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: if you look at the contract and and what have you,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you'd say, well, Shahid's going to be a number two. Okay,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: that's a fair take. But have we seen him perform
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: like a two? No. Not in a Seattle uniform. I
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: lean toward Cup as the two. I don't think he's
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: a two at this stage in his career. I think
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: he's a three, four. Now, his understanding of the game,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and he's had a great preseason season, So, yeah, he
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: could be a two. There's a bunch of guys that
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: could be. Torrey Horton could be. You know, I think
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: it'd be asking a lot to say Montori Foster is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: going to be a two, so I'm not going to
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: throw him in there. But between Horton and Shahid and Kup,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: all of them, you know, none of them would shock
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: anybody if they emerged as a two, but you could
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: also make a corresponding argument that you're a little bit
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: concerned about the fact that they're not going to perform
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: like a two. So in any event, now I don't
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: feel that way about the tight ends. I feel like
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: there's real depth at tight end. But receiver, there's nobody
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: that's jumping out at me and you go, wow, this
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: guy's a real solid number behind JSN. You feel like
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: you have two legit, If you're trying to win a
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you'd like to feel like you've got two
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: guys in the top, I don't know, 30 or 40
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: in the league. But we'll see how it plays out.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Who's somebody in our last minute or so here? And
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: if we need to carry it over into the next segment,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: we'll do that. Um, but who are you happy for?
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Like on the roster? It was like somebody like, I
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: am glad that guy made the roster and I wasn't
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: sure he was going to. Well, I would say the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: guy that the answer to that question. Now I'm going
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to admittedly say that I've been all over the board
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: on this guy. When Cody white, I, I meant to
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: look it up. What year, whatever year it was down
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. I remember just going, man, who's Cody white.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I remember him running a go route up
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: the right sideline. He got like three yards of separation.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: The quarterback wasn't even looking. I think it was Sam
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Howell wasn't even looking at him. And I'm like, whoa,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: who's this guy? And then if you go back to
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: his game against the Cowboys two weeks ago, It was awful. Terrible.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: Like I'm looking, I'm going, wait a minute. I once
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: had high hopes for this guy. He's kind of been
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: in the league and he just has not stepped up.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: And the difference between Cody White against the Cowboys two
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: weeks ago and Cody White Friday against the Chiefs is
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: night and day. Friday against, he catches that slant route
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: on what Mike Holmgren would call lion, the double slant.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It was a body on him. He just looked like
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: a professional receiver, big-bodied professional receiver. That was good-looking football. Now,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: it was third and long. They had to punt, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: it's a good play. How he fought for the ball,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: strong hands over the middle to run after the catch. Obviously,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: completing the play on the post route for 40 yards.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't just that. I mean, he had a
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: comeback where he didn't get the ball, but the way
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: he stemmed and then accelerated on the corner, dropped his hips, accelerated.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: And I'm going, whoa, that's a top flight route.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Who is that?
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, 82. And, you know, big body guy. I
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: honestly think his legs were either dead. Against the Cowboys
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't know. Maybe his girlfriend broke up
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: with him. Something crazy happened. But he looked like a
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: legit guy. And, of course, when we're talking about Torrey
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Horton and his status and we're talking about Jake Bobo's out,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Cody White needed to step up. And because I think
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: he's going to catch footballs. I think this is not
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: just a special teams thing. I think he's going to
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: be neat. He's a big guy. The way that Seattle
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: wants to squeeze the formations, let him fold up inside
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: and be a blocker, presumably with his body, he can
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: do some of that stuff. So if he gets a
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: little nastiness in him, that he can accomplish that. So
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I think that that was probably the biggest step up. uh,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: in the summer for me.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, of course he didn't make the 53 man, um,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: probably will be brought back and there might be an
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: opening there. Uh, but, um, they're trying to keep him
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: on the roster, but yeah, that was a night and
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: day sort of difference between, um, the, the previous game
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: and then a Friday night's game for Cody white.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: All right. Okay. Well, maybe I'm going on off of, uh, uh,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: old information. I, I, what I had read that, that
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: he made it. So in any event, We'll see. Maybe
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: they bring him back. But I can still hold to
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: my analysis that Friday night he was a much better receiver.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: And given the state of the affairs, I think that
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: somehow he's going to merge. All right. More with you.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot more ground to cover. We'll cover
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: it with our QB1 on Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM. Hey,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: thanks for being with us here on this Monday. We
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: are Monday morning quarterbacking with our Monday morning quarterback star,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the QB1 himself, Hugh Mellon. Coming up at 9 o'clock,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: we're going to go through the entire Seahawks 53-man roster.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: We'll zip through the position groups, get Hugh's reaction pretty
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: much to the whole enchilada. Coming up here at 9
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: o'clock this morning during this special segment that we wrap
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: up the preseason. But I got like four or five
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: minutes here, and I wanted to ask you, you know,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: obviously the Los Angeles Rams are being touted as the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: runaway favorites to win it all this year, and I
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: just wanted to get your thoughts on this day now
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: that we know Aaron Donald is going to be a
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: part of this Rams team. Your thoughts about them adding
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: a guy that's been retired for a couple of years,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: but Two years ago was also he retired with a
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: lot of gas left in that tank. So your thoughts
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: this morning now that we know Donald's.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Back with the Rams? Well, it's a load. I mean,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: look at the Rams. Since we last played them, Seahawks
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: last played them, they've acquired Trent McDuffie, who's been first-team All-Pro.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: They acquired Myles Garrett, who's got more sacks. uh, in
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the history of the NFL under age 30, uh, than
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: anybody ever. And actually it's not even close. And then
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, who, you know, eight time first team all pro, uh, and,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: and the year that he didn't get that he was
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Ricky of the year. Um, and you know, a guy that,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've done 28 drafts, Chuck for KJR and,
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: and studied these guys and, you know, hopefully I've had a, uh,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: a W or two to offset it, but the Ls
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: kind of stick with me. And I got to tell you,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: like Reuben Foster, for example, this is the most violent
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: player I've ever seen. He goes to the 49ers. Now, injuries,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I get a little bit of an asterisk on him.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: But Aaron Donald is my number one. Millen, you are
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: just asleep at the wheel. Get your head in the game.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Aaron Donald went right past me. He was the 13th
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: pick of the Rams. And now I think he is,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: if you ask me, the defensive players that I've ever seen,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I guess when things are in fours, you always have
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to say Mount Rushmore, right? So I'll play the game.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Like Lawrence Taylor, here's my Mount Rushmore defensive players. Lawrence Taylor,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Reggie White. We've got to throw Deion in. We'll put
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: in a secondary guy, Deion and Aaron Donald. He's in
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: the top four defensive players I've ever seen. Wow. And
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: the best defensive tackle, the most disruptive. It's just insanity
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: what the kind of career that he had. To say
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer would be the all-time understatement. So, yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: that's who they've added. He turned 35 in May. You
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: just kind of hope that maybe Father Time took a
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: few chunks out of him that pull him down to
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: immortal status. But the idea of Miles Garrett on one
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: side and him, yeah, it's going to be a load.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a problem. I can't imagine not,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: unless indeed the time off and the age really has
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: caught up to him.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he will not get double teamed this year,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I would think.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: For the first time in his career? Well, it depends
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: on how you do it. I can draw you up
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a situation where you're double-teaming, leave a tight end in,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: double-team Myles Garrett, and then have the center and the
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: guard double-team Aaron Donald. He'll be double-teamed, and Myles Garrett
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: will be double-teamed, and there'll be plays where they're both double-teamed. Right.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: But then that leaves, they got some other guys on
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: that team as well that can come can get after you.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: So, um, but it's not like seagulls on a bread
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: truck at the beach.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: That's the way it was before, you.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Know, that's the way it's been his entire career. There's
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: like three guys on him and they're not going to
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: be able to afford that. And so I think that's
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: part of the reason why he's coming back. He's like,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I would like to play in the national football league
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: without facing a double triple team, every single snap and
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: see what I can do.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: It's, it's a fair point. Um, and, And, you know,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I just probably think– well, he's getting $ 20 million. That
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: would be another reason why he would come back. But,
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: you know, he didn't have to go through training camp.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: You know, this is– you know, he skillfully played Aaron Donald. Yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: you know, signed, you know, on this date. So– but
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I think he probably wants– you know, he sees– well, hell,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: they're everybody's favorite to win the Super Bowl. Is the
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl not being played in L.A. again? I think
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: it is, yeah, yeah. And that's where they won their
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: last one, right, in 2021, and they went in at home. So, yeah,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: he probably wants to get in on the fun again. Yeah, well,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: let's try to keep him from that.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Hugh Millen is with us. It's Monday morning quarterback.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: We do have a roster now set, at least for now.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: It could even change by opening day, of course, because
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: there are some injuries, players with injuries on the 53-man roster.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, right now.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And so, uh, we're kind of going to go through
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the entire roster. I mean, we're going to have to
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: do a fast, uh, but just kind of get a
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: thought from Hugh on each of the position groups that
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: have made this final roster. We're going to try to
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: pull that off next sports radio, 93.3 KJR FM.
