Furness Show 4-24: Jadarian Price joins, Ross Tucker, Rob Rang, Danny O'Neil · The Ian Furness Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Listen. I'm taking great delight in the Rams problems because
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Seattle didn't accomplish exactly what they wanted to accomplish yesterday.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Either they got half of what they wanted to get done.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: They got the running back, but they didn't get more picks,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and they weren't able to trade out of the first
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: round and four different times, and then post post draft
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: news conference, John Schneider brought that up, and the body
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: language is different. Maybe they're really tired. I don't know,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: but I think it's pretty evident. He said it himself.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We wanted to move down, we wanted to get some
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: stuff done, and I think they felt like they could
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get priced later. It didn't happen, but they got their guy.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Now they have to do some more heavy lifting if
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: they want to add to what right now would be
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a four member draft class. So starting later on today, Mariners,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, start tonight. They're in Saint Louis, So
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of course we'll have well, we'll be here with the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: draft coverage. You can listen to Mariners elsewhere. We'll have
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: be all draft all the time, starting right now. A
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: couple of ways I want to go with this. In
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the first segment, and we'll start with you two and
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: then four nine, four five one. That would be the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Tacoma Dodge text line. I don't know, it's so easy
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to say just grade it, but I just want your
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: reactions to what the Seahawks did or didn't do. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: asked yesterday, would you be disappointed if they weren't able
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to move down and trade out of the first round
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: by For example, the forty nine ers did it twice yesterday.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: They went from twenty six or twenty seven to thirty
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and then thirty two out one of eight teams did
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: not have a first round pick yesterday. So the forty
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: nine ers got probably accomplished what they want to accomplish.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: They went into the draft with six picks. They had
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a first and I believe a second, and then they
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: had four fourth round picks to start Day three and
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that was it. They've changed that dramatically. They've added to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that tremendously. And that's what John Schneider told us on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Monday he wanted to do, and that's what what he
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: even told us last night he wanted to do. He
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to do that, but he was, and they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: were able to get by all accounts, the second best
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: running back in the class who happens to be from
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the same school and played behind the best running back
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in this class and Jeremi Love. So they get the guy,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: they just didn't get what they wanted to in terms
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of the draft picks. So I mean, I'd say it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a mixed bag last night for them. I think we
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: all would have liked to see them get more picks
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to accumulate, especially and here's why. I mean, before I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: get your both your thoughts and again four nine, four
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to five, one want to hear from you on the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Tacoma dije X sign. Here's why this is an organization.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: This is a GM that has done some really really
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: tremendous work on Day three and even Day two of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: NFL drafts. I mean, over the years, what John Schneider
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: has been able to accomplish with those later picks is
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: really remarkable. And you know, everybody in the sport thinks
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the smartest guy in the room. They think that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: they've got the secret sauce they know what they're doing. Well,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: johns Steiner's proved it. I mean, he just has twenty
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ten great draft with Okog and Thomas right off the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: get go right. Then they moved down in the second round.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They did pick up Golden Tate in the second round.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: And then here's what they did later on. This is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: day three his first draft. Walter Thurman, who was a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: solid player for them for a few years in the secondary,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor. I don't need to add to that, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that was Anthony McCoy beset by injuries. Was a decent
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: tight end, but beset by injuries. But I'll just look
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: at Day three and go, yeah, Walter Thurman, Cam Chanceller,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: both part of the Super Bowl team the next year,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: twenty eleven, when they got to day three. You ever
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: heard of K. J. Wright, Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell, Malcolm Smith.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That was day three in his second draft, Day three
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in twenty and twelve, Robert Urber, pretty good player, Jeremy Lane,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: super Bowl champion, Jr. Sweezy super Bowl starter on the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: offensive line. Day three in twenty thirteen, again not great early,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Harper Williams nothing, Ferld Simon never developed. But they got
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a guy named Luke Wilson on Day three of that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: draft as well. Two and fourteen. Day three. Casius marsh
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: played a lot. Played nine years in the NFL. Okay,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that's not a bat Kevin pier Lewis nine years in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the NFL. They didn't do much the rest of that,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but that was kind of just a crap draft all
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the way around. We talked about that before. It's coming
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: off their Super Bowl championship. I'm not going to go
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: through all of these, but over the years, what they've
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: done on Day three has been massively impressive and has
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: been impactful for who this team is. I mean, we
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: all know different guys over the years, including Mquinin Jefferson
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was a solid player for them on Day three. I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going through here. Chris Carson, I think he was a Okay,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: let's see Michael Dixon, who's going to be a career
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Seahawk and punter here had a hell of a hell
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of a run along the way. You get the point
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Day three. These guys do damage Day three. This is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a guy that wants more than one pick, and so
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they didn't get what they wanted out of out of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: day out of the thirty second overall pick, there's no
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: doubt about that. Hell, you don't have to go too
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: far back Day three and twenty twenty four two years ago.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: How important is aj Barner to this football team pretty
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: damn important, I'd say, right, Tyree Knight was a starter,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: but now is a key backup for this team. Day
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: three last year, Day three poo, my goodness, Riley Mills.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: We just saw a glimpse of him when he was healthy.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Sack and the Super Bowl. Tory Horton hurt last year.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: But you know what he can do as well, like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: this team, Robbie oots. Day three is important. That's why
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: there was disappointment that they weren't able to move down.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they can't find more picks. Use, you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: pay it forward, get some use and picks from next
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: year to get some picks this year. They do something
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with the sixty fourth overall pick in the second round.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe they do something along those lines, but I think
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that would be so like if you're looking at it,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I'd say it was an okay first day for the Seahawks,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but not great. It was a great pick in a sense,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but not an okay result because of what you wanted
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to get, Andrews, you were sitting there with Jackson last
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: night was where you guys went out and decided to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: tear up the town. Sure, God bless you and probably
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: have to get you had to get Jackson calm down.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he had a lot of heavy lifting history.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: You probably even out, Yeah, you know.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: What, what'd you think? What do you think? Anderson?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually have a little bit slightly different viewpoint
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: on the from people that are disappointed in that not
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they weren't able to move down. I think there can
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: be kind of two different ways of thinking when you
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: have a Super Bowl and you kind of have a
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: core of players that you feel good about going in
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: the next year. We talked about with Steve Palzolo a
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: couple of times, like the Seahawks could play a game
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: right now and be like, still have a good team, right,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: And that's rare because they're so many people that are
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: relying on the draft to kind of supplement their roster.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: But I also and you can kind of think, Okay,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: we just got to fill in the depth pieces. You
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: kind of got the starters. That's why, you know, the
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Seahawks after their first Super Bowl run, had a lot
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: of those late round draft picks that you just mentioned there,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And I think because they relied on that so much,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: it was kind of like they were taking flyers right
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and not necessarily supplementing that core, and that's why it
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: feels like their window closed as quickly as it opened
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: at the same time. So I think slightly different with
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: this is you can have less picks and I think
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: getting those higher end players to kind of keep the
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: core together and keep supplementing it in different ways in
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: certain in terms of less quantity but more quality. So
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I'm actually okay, And depending on how price plays out, obviously,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: but I am actually okay if you get just a
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: couple maybe four, maybe five picks in total for this
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: draft and not you know, do the whole just quantity
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: in terms of just as many picks at the apple
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: as you can. But having like a couple really good
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: players that become starters on this team I think is important.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I think it's interesting what you just said about the starters,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: because if they were again, this is a ridiculous comment.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Even Mike McDonald brought it up the other day. If
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you were to play a game today, if you were
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to play a game today, you lost one player, one
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: starter on offense, and you had and if you were
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to play today, you would have nobody replace him. I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: mean it would be George Laani. No sorry, no, no,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that is the definition of a jag just a guy
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: period at a story. You replace that Tyle Katta has
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: already will replace Kobe Bryant boy Mafe was a rotational
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: piece on the defensive line. They kind of picked job
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: over Wolan.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I agree, And I.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Don't know if people didn't hear us. Maybe late last
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: night Hugh and Rang were talking about what they're hearing
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: is is it me? And I Appritchett is a guy
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that they expect to take that next step. He needed
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to get stronger, and over the last couple of years
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I believe he has. So you're fine. You're not fine
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: at the cornerback position, but if you had to play today,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you'd be fine, Like you'd be okay, fine, It's okay. Yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: So you're right, Andrews. I do like that, and again
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I love the player. Yeah, just I I base it
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: on what Schneider's history is totally. And I also base
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it on and we worked the room we talked to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It was Hugh and Rob and I and we're talking
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to Greg and Hawk Blogger, just a bunch of people,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and everyone's like, yeah, was that a weird post first
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: round vibe? And everyone's like, yeah, that was not normal
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Johnson John Schnyder usually rolls in that thing doing cartwheels. Go.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: That wasn't the case yesterday. Now it wasn't. It wasn't
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: as dysfunctional as Less Snead and Sean McVay, not even close.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank god we're out in that room.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think it was just a little bit of disappointment
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't get with one, just real quickly.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I was just going to say that, I mean, this
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: is what happens when you go from the hunter to
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: the hunted.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: You're really super well, like we even said it yesterday,
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: you're nobody's friend right now, right and you know you
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: look at San Francisco doing all that trades. Do you
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: think they're gonna do business with you right now?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you weren't expecting them. But you know what happened.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Everyone around them did.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Everyone around them did.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: So Yeah, it's I just think it almost speaks to
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: the parody of this league had, the way that these
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: things end up happening.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I but I truly took the disappointment from that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I felt that right you were there one hundred.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Percent, especially when the week before or days before he threw.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Out the for sale sign Yeah, and nothing happened.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well he said they had some stuff going and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it didn't come through.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: It.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It just fell through.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And I think it's just because everything happened in front
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of him. That's the problem with being thirty second. Yes,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: because you're the champions, and that's that's the price you
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: end up paying. Yeah, So away we go. It's fun.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's great to read into these things, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you know, we can talk. We'll look back in a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: year or two and go, yeah, you know, but it
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: worked out that the sixty fourth pick was unbelievable, was
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so and so, and then you know, the last the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: third round pick was great and they only had the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: one pick on the on Day three, and holy cow,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that guy ends up being a Probowl right right right,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: So I think we'll.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Be very excited to day and tomorrow.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: In John, we should trust four nine four to five
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: one in your thoughts four nine, four to five one.

• 13:18
  Speaker 1: She ended up working at the same television station that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I was working at, at the Fox affiliate here, and I'm like,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: she's a really good teammate. I'm kind of happy she's here.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Then she became a media free agent, and I said,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we got to get her because of what you just said. Ross,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how my show has improved because people like her.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: They don't like me necessarily, they like her. So she
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: calls people like you and lo and behold they're on
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the radio with us. It's it's a really I like people. Okay,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's not that hard. Well because you're because you're a
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: big part of the Army Navy stuff too.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: Ross.
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Ross, uh, I, I you know what, It's interesting.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: I was for years and years and then I guess
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: it's growing pain. But I've kind of moved up the
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: ranks at CBS, you know, calling games for CB NFL
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: games for CBS. So the last two years I've been
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: unable to do Army Navy game because I had an
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: NFL game the next day. So it's unfortunate because that
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: that was always my single my number one, single favorite
• 14:22
  Speaker 10: day of the year was Army Navy. And I think
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: that might be where I met Jessmin and yep. I
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: certainly told her about my front page story dot com,
• 14:33
  Speaker 10: which I think is the best Mother's Day gift I've
• 14:35
  Speaker 10: ever seen or heard of, and she did it and
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: she got one, like yes, she got it for her parents,
• 14:44
  Speaker 10: and I won't even I won't even tell you guys
• 14:46
  Speaker 10: about it. Did they write a story about your mom
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: or whoever you want to get it for? It looks
• 14:51
  Speaker 10: like it's on the cover like the Seattle Pi, like
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: it's it's beautiful framed pictures. But the key I think is,
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: I don't know, Jessamine, how you delivered it, but to
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: be able to say I wanted something special for you
• 15:03
  Speaker 10: as they're opening it. So I had a story written
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: about you like that just sounds like it sounds like
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: you hired like Mitch album Er, you know, some unbelievable
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: author to write this story. Listen, everybody I've ever talked
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: to says it's the best mothers they give or Valentine's
• 15:20
  Speaker 10: gay gift they've ever gotten. I think we have like
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: a ninety percent tiers rate, you know, with a mom
• 15:27
  Speaker 10: or a wife or whoever cries jess the molas. Your
• 15:30
  Speaker 10: experience for your parents.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Dad is stoic, so no tears, but mom mom shut
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: a few. But the best part in you know, coming
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: from a journalism background, is that you use journalists. You
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: actually have these people who are like former you know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: reporters and things like that. So they interview you and
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: you get to tell this story and they put it
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: into this beautiful, really framed newspaper article and you get
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: to pick the pictures and everything.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And I had a great time.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I talked to the gentleman who interviewed me for about
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: twenty minut and it like they send you, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: a proof, and then you approve it and it gets
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: shipped out.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I was I gave it. I did it
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: for Christmas.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: I remembered it from Army Navy and it was the
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: year after I did it for Christmas for my parents.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sold on this, by the way, because we've talked
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: about this. I've had Rossell before talking about this, and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Jess sold me before we went on the air. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: what's before we get to football? What's the what's the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: cutoff date to get this from Mother's Day?
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Ross.
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: That's a great question. And we do have a seven
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: day option, so if you get it a week before
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: Mother's Day, you can purchase the seven day option and
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: we guarantee it. At this point, you guys have plenty
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: of time. I mean we're sixteen days out, but you
• 16:47
  Speaker 10: know there is a little bit of a process. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: I would say go to my front page story dot
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: com and order it now. Although you know what's happened
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: now is I'm sure you know this game, but lot
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: of guys don't even think about it till like three
• 17:02
  Speaker 10: days beforehand. Yeah, So what's become really popular is they
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: go to my front page story dot com, they order it, okay,
• 17:12
  Speaker 10: and then they print out the confirmation order, put it
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: in an envelope, give it to their mom or wife
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: on Mother's Day, and then as they open it and
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: they're like, what is this and they say, I'm having
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: a story written about you. It's currently in production, but
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: it'll be here soon. Think about the anticipation for your
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: mom or wife or whoever, knowing that somebody that that
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: that at some point soon a story is going to
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: be sent all about them. I mean like they checked.
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: They literally are like looking out the window for FedEx
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: or ups waiting for this. So so you get you
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: get the window, getting them the gift, then you get
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: the anticipation, and then when they actually get it and
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: read it, it's almost like three gifts for the price
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: of one at my front page story dot com.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, well we'll get that, we'll get
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: that going. I love it. I'm done. It makes it
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: takes a zillion pounds of pressure off me for Mother's
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Day for my wife this year. Okay, Ross, let's NFL drive.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Let me get We haven't been touched on this. We
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: were on the air tel nine pm Pacific time last
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: night with Hugh Millon and Rob ranging myself and jumping
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: back on today. I haven't even touched on this with
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the listeners or anybody, but I want to get your thoughts.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: John Schneider on Monday told us, among other things, that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: he did not anticipate any issues or challenges with the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: two fewer minutes between picks in the first round, Yet
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it felt like there were Even for Seattle, they didn't
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: get what they wanted done. They wanted to get more
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: picks and trade out of the first round. It felt
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: like that sped up process, whether it was TV being
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: behind or maybe teams not getting you know, trades accomplished
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: or what have you, was a challenge. What did you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: What did you kind of see from thirty thousand feet
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: with the sped up process in the first round.
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: That I thought it was awesome and then I liked
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: the draft ended faster. I was doing a watch party
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: at a local bar, so uh saved me seemingly a
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: half hour at least. I mean, I you know now,
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: and in fairness, I wasn't watched like, I wasn't listening
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: to every second of the broadcast. So I'm making my
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: way around the room. Obviously every TV had the draft
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: all and I could hear it. I don't I don't think.
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: I mean, they don't need ten minutes, I mean even
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: eight minutes. They know who they're taking as soon as
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: the league gives them the heads up. They know who
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: they're taking for the most part, you know. The only
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: one that was really interesting was the Steelers kind of
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: jumping the gun and calling the USC wide receiver Makay Lemon,
• 19:48
  Speaker 10: and then the Eagles traded up. But the reality is,
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: if you're going to trade the pick, you're going to
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: do that in the first five minutes. Yeah, And if
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: you end up not trading it and you already know
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: what you're gonna take, there's not like a long discussion
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: while they're on the clock. They go through so many scenarios.
• 20:07
  Speaker 10: They pretty much know in every situation who they're taking.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: One of the things we were laughing about the first
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: when I first got to Seattle, came back to my
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: hometown of Seattle, and two thousand and six the first
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: draft I did. We did a show in two thousand
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and seven, and so that was back in the fifteen
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: minutes between picks first round. Ross And I'll tell you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: right now, whatever we do now is I'm in for
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a Well it's not fifteen minutes anymore, but I'm with you.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a made for TV event. We all
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: know how it works. You're right, those guys probably don't
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: need a ton of time, but the end of the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: first round did get a little speedy. I will see
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see when Schneider puts a final bow
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: on things what he says. I know that for him,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: they didn't get the extra picks they were hoping for
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: with that thirty second pick. Let's go a little higher
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: up in the draft. There's been a lot of conversations
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: about what the Rams did with Ty Simpson at thirteen.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is still there. You drafted basically a quarterback
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: in waiting, worked dream Bay, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Farr before
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and so forth. There's so much. I know you guys
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: talked about it. You've talked about it a lot already.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: What's your read on what the Rams did with thirteen
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: with Simpson?
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: Well, so, man, I would say there's three layers to this. Okay,
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: there's the layer as to whether or not Sean McVay
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: was on board with this. There's the how Rams fans
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: could or should feel about it, and then there's how
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: Matthew Stafford and veteran players could feel about it. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: I talked about this on the Rassucker Football podcast. If
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: I'm Matthew Stafford or a veteran player for the Rams,
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: I'm furious. I'm furious. I mean, first of all, he's
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: the MVP of the league last year. Secondly, I know
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: you guys don't want to hear this, but they might
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: have been the best team. Yeah, okay, you know they
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: were a play away from two different losses in Seattle Night,
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: two point Conversion Night, the NFC Championship game. They might
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: have been the best team. And at number thirteen overall,
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: you have a golden opportunity. I mean, they were a
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: play away in both those Seattle games. In the thirteenth pick,
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: you have a golden opportunity to be the guy that
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: might make the play that makes difference in that game,
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: and yet you're gonna draft a quarterback that hopefully doesn't
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: play for a couple of years. There's question marks about it.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: You know, there's no chance any veteran player liked that
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: that set. Let's get to the fans. If you're a
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: fan that has the same sentiment as the players, totally reasonable.
• 22:46
  Speaker 10: If you're a fan that says, you know what, I'm
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: gonna be a Rams fan for the next thirty years
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: and the best time I made a quarterback is when
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: you don't need one, and they obviously really like this guy,
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: and we can have him learn under Stafford for a
• 22:59
  Speaker 10: year too. You can absolutely be happy about that if
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: you're a Rams fan.
• 23:03
  Speaker 11: Doesn't seem like many of them are, but you can.
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: And the last thing I'll say about McVeigh and all
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: these body language experts that are convinced he had no
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: interest or didn't like to pick, that that just doesn't
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: pass this test to me. I mean, he's arguably the
• 23:22
  Speaker 10: best coach in the NFL. The Rams are very well
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: aware of that. They don't want to lose him. You
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: think with the thirteenth overall pick that that he wasn't
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: on board with it, that they that they just that
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: less need said, you know, heck was you Sean, I'm
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: just gonna take this quarterback because I like him, Or
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: that the owner came in, who I don't think. I
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: don't even know how much you know, how involved the
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: owner is and said we're taking this guy. That that
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: just doesn't seem realistic. Now, why he didn't seem as
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: excited after the pick after the draft, I don't mean.
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: Maybe he's tired, or maybe he knew that the veteran
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: players and Stafford were going to see it and so
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: he had to act like he's not happy about it
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: so that when he meets with the leadership committee he
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: can be like, listen, guys, I wanted to go all in.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: For this year.
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: You know, there's a million different possibilities there. I just
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: don't believe for a second that, you know, they totally
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: went against what Sean McVay wanted to do.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that Ross S Tucker joining us Ross
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Tucker Football Podcast, Westwood one former NFL player with US
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and happy to have him on here after Day one
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of the NFL Draft. Yeah, I'm gonna stay with the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: body language experts for a second, just because we dealt
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: with it last night here in Seattle. Ross it was
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and guys like me and Hugh Millan, Rob Rang, the
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: three of us have covered every draft with Schneider since,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you know, since he's been here. And normally Schneider bounces in,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you know, after every round and he's just you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: after every day of the draft, and he's just and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you've met John, I know, like, this guy's full of
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: energy and hey, brother, what's going on? And we're ready
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to rock and roll. They rolled in after getting Jadarian Price,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and they it was an interesting dynamic because, unlike the Rams,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: they immediately improved their football team. They addressed arguably their
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: biggest need with running back one, especially with Charboney still
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: coming off in ACLU. But they made no bones about
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that they wanted to trade out of thirty
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: two and get more picks. They weren't able to do
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: that because of all the activity in front of them.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: He've actually mentioned it four times in his post day
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: one news conference.
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: Did she not?
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we tried, we tried, we tried. So it was
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: kind of an interesting dynamic here. I'd love to get
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: your take on what Seattle did, because they addressed the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: one starter that they lost in free agency and Ken
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Walker on the offense, but they didn't get more picks,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: which Schneider loves, especially on day three.
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, I would say it takes two to
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: dag yeo.
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: I mean, and it was very clear that that's something
• 25:56
  Speaker 10: that they wanted to do and that they were hoping
• 26:00
  Speaker 10: to do. But it's hard to argue with getting a
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: guy that a lot of people thought was a first
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: round pick and a lot of people really liked at
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: the position that they needed the most, which is running back.
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: You know, Charbonnay coming out the injury, losing Kenneth Walker,
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: it doesn't always unfold exactly how you wanted. Maybe he
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: thought they could trade down and still get price, or
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: trade down and get a running back later. I'd also
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: say this, like, if you look at their roster, they're
• 26:33
  Speaker 10: in a pretty good place and they still have two
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: more picks tonight. I mean, now he's hit on some
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: later round picks and he's as good as anybody, so
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: he wanted them. He could still do that with two
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: and three and pick up some more later if he
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: wants to do that, But with where his team's at
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: right now, I wouldn't be surprised to be takes guy
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: to two and three that he didn't have a good
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: chance to contribute this year, and then heck even moves
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: up and they don't have to go in on Saturday.
• 27:03
  Speaker 11: I don't know, you know. I mean, obviously they have two.
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: Front drafted pre agents. He's smart enough to know the
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: value of having a higher volume of picks, and you
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: know the nature of it. But I think ultimately Teahawks
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: fans should be pretty happy that they get a really
• 27:23
  Speaker 10: good player at a position that's super important for the Seahawks.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Well, we kind of we have a theme here we
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: use all the time. It's in John we trust and
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. You you build two Super
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Bowl championship teams with two separate rosters, two separate head coaches,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and two separate quarterbacks over the course of seventeen years.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I think we kind of understand he knows what the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: hell he's doing. So yeah, we kind of trust what
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: John does and we'll see what happens the next two days.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: What team in the NFL gave you the most pause,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: like like head scratching, like wow, either good or bad?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Like positive or negative? You went, what the hell are
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: they doing? Or man, that's unbelievable what they did.
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: Well, So I'm not gonna say I don't know if
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: it's bad or good. What I think is the team
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: that's the most interesting to me is the New York Giants,
• 28:13
  Speaker 10: because you know, they got two guys that most people
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: thought throughout the process would go higher, Rvell Reese at
• 28:22
  Speaker 10: five and Francis Malignoa at ten to argo, Reese is
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: the Ohio state defender, Mawingnoa is the Miami offensive lineman.
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: What's fascinating about that, though, is they said that Arvel
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: Ree is gonna be an off the ball linebacker. Okay,
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: he wants to be an edge rusher. People thought he
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: would be an edge rusher to the Jets at two,
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: or the Cardinals at three, or the Titans at four.
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: I think it's fasting that they.
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: Had an off the ball linebacker evidently number one on
• 28:55
  Speaker 10: their board. But also like, if you're gonna play him
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: as off the ball linebacker, I think it really strong
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: argument can be made that Sonny Styles is a better
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: off the ball linebacker. So maybe they're just saying that
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: they're gonna use them as a rusher a lot. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: don't know. Maybe they're saying that because they want to
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: act like they're not trading Cavon Thibodeau when they are whatever.
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: And then Mali Noah at ten. I've really thought John
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: Harbaugh would go with Caleb Downs. I mean, think about
• 29:21
  Speaker 10: the success harball I had with Ed Reid and Kyle
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: Hamilton in Baltimore. Caleb Downs, you can make a strong
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: argument is the guy most likely in this draft to
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: be a perennial pro bowler. Instead, they take Mali Noah
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: and they're gonna play him at guard. Yeah, and he
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: has a hernie disc in his back. I mean, you're
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: talking about a guy that I played in Buffalo. I
• 29:44
  Speaker 10: had a hernie disc in my back. I had surgery
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: after the season, and I never started another game in
• 29:49
  Speaker 10: the NFL. And that doesn't mean I look, I just don't.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: I'm not aware of an offensive lineman with the hernie
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: disc that didn't eventually have to have the surgery and
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: then once you have that, I'm also not aware of
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: a guy that used to have a bad back. It's
• 30:04
  Speaker 10: kind of something that you manage and you can get through.
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: And I was able to play three more years even
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: if I didn't start a game. But that just seems
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: like a pretty big risk. You know, they're basically moving
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: both these guys positions or playing in a different position.
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: I don't know, you know, I mean they could have
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: taken sunny styles. And if you guys take now we
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: know who to play guard, why don't you just take
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: vega Ione who was from out there in Seattle and
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: Washington the best guard in the draft to play hit
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: at guard?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I picked the kid from Graham Caapals. And
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: that's what listen, maw. You know we know the family. Well,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he just does sideline work for Washington State. I'm gonna
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: wash it, so we know his two brothers. And yeah, yeah,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the kid I mean, and the guy's a beast, there's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: no doubt. But like you said, I mean, short armed
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: offensive tackle that played on the right side. You're gonna
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: move inside and you take him number ten as opposed
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to a natural guard, like you said, is it's a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: little bit of a head scratcher. Maybe they'll look the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: smartest guys in the room. Who knows along the way,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: But all right, well listen, here we go round two.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Tell people about podcasts. We talked about you know my
• 31:08

• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Actually that my front paging. I think I got some idea.

  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm middling around in my head.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Right, I'll actually show you mine. I'll find the picture
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Picture. Yeah, Okay, we'll take a break, we'll come back.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: One other things I wanted to hit on in that
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the first round the ty Simpson picked with the Rams.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Why it was really really good for Seattle, and it
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with them being pissed off the Rams,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: but it actually has to do with competing against these
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: guys every day as well. We'll talk about that next.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Welcome to the NFL Draft.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: Now back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center and the
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty five NFL Draft, and brought to you by
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: gors Life, by R and R Foundation specialists, the Queen
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: Anne Beerho, and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio ninety
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: three point three kJ R FM.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I went back here in Virginia Mason Athletics Center, cruising
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: along on a Friday afternoon. Day two of the NFL
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Draft coming up. But four o'clock is when the draft
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: gets going Softy. Hugh and Dick Fane will be with
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: you for that, and then Hugh and Faine or Hugh
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and Rob rang and I will join you at seven o'clock,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: seven and nine and or so whenever they wrap things
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: up and we hear from Johns and Mike McDonald. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: mentioned that the Rams thing. Here's why it was a
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: good day for Seattle, and Rob and I were sitting
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: there watching this take place, and when they took Ty
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Simpson to the Rams, at thirteen. The first thing we
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: said was because we were looking going into it thinking,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: oh my god, they could take a couple of guys
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: here that could really cause more problems for a team.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: That Ross Tucker just mentioned was right there. I mean, listen,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: it was a photo finish between these two teams. They're
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: two best teams the NFL last year, the Rams of
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and it was a photo finish between the two.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You're in the same division. You don't want to see
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: them get batter immediately. A thirteenth overall pick in the
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: first round could make them better automatically. Andrews, what if
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: ruben Bain went there? Oh god, because that's what we're
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: looking at thinking they've got Verse Sisk and they add
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: ruben Bain to that. Yeah, no, no, thanks like that,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and we were kind of convinced that was going to happen.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: He went two picks later. Or Kenyan Sadik, the tight
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: end from Oregon. Yeah, way, McVeigh uses a tight end.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: He made Kobe Parkinson look like an All Pro last year.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: That's true.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: How about you add Kenyon Sadik to that team?
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: What no? Like like no, But Caleb Banks, the d
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: tackle in the middle of that defensive line for them.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I wasn't worried about like a McKay lemon. There's talk
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: about that they've got. Yeah, they're not going to add
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: to that room, you know with that with that high
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of a pick right along the way, they could have gone,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: you know, they could have gone a Key Mesador, the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: other Miami Red rusher. Like, there's a lot of stuff
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: that they could have done at that thirteenth pick that
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: could have put them over Seattle.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: And they instead not even did They just draft a
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: quarterback that won't help their team probably this year. But
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: it's kind of a reach in most people's eyes too,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: a big reach.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Most people didn't see him as.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: A first round No, not at all.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: And and you know you're going to get, like I said,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: you're getting the spins from the Albert Brears in the
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: overs of the world that are going to be telling,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you know, spinning their stuff off. That's fine, it's just
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: that's no one's buying what you're selling, and you know
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: who's really not buying it?
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford, I'm sure.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: And I think what ross suckers is important too. If
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: you're a veteran player in there, you're like, well, wait
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: a second, we're that close and we just picked We
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: just basically threw away that first round pick for three years, right,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it makes no sense. Okay, uh do you have Let's
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: get a little Robb Rang. Okay, so we're gonna play
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Rang Palazzolo and co Sell at various points in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: show today are guys that were all previewing the draft
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: for us over the last couple of months, and we
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of time talking about running backs. And
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Andrews went back and thank you Andrews for doing this.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: She had to go back and grind through and find
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the guy they picked, Jadari in love Jadarian Price. Sorry,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love Jadarian Price. We had, by the way, first
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: time ever teams had the two running backs taken in
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the first round from the same school. Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Really, I didn't realize it was the first time ever.
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: So well, because usually running back two would transfer or
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: not get enough run to.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: To be up there.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: So let's uh, let's hear this is Rob Rang. A
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: few weeks ago when we asked and I asked him
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: about Jadarian Price and what he thought of the notre
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: game running back number two.
• 37:08
  Speaker 12: The fact that Jeremiah Loved the quote unquote other Notre
• 37:11
  Speaker 12: Dame running back gets so much attention. I think that's
• 37:14
  Speaker 12: one of the reasons why people are sleeping a little
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: bit on juderi On Price. Like one of the real
• 37:19
  Speaker 12: criticisms that people have of him is the fact that
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: he supposedly wasn't very effective on third down. Well, that's
• 37:26
  Speaker 12: one of the things that Jeremiah Loved does exceptionally well.
• 37:30
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's getting comparisons to Alvin Kamaras and you know,
• 37:34
  Speaker 12: and play in people like that, so you know, just
• 37:37
  Speaker 12: because he is so good out of the back of
• 37:40
  Speaker 12: As a receiver, Jeneium Price was the Notre Dame's primary
• 37:45
  Speaker 12: kickoff return kickoff returner throughout his college career had three
• 37:50
  Speaker 12: returns for touchdowns over his career. Obviously, this is the
• 37:54
  Speaker 12: US team that prioritizes special teams play and Notre Dame
• 37:58
  Speaker 12: Marcus Freeman's head coaches knocked going to put a player
• 38:00
  Speaker 12: back that they don't truck his hands. He just didn't
• 38:03
  Speaker 12: get very many opportunities on third down because that's where
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: Jeremiah Love was so special. So I just see Jendeim
• 38:08
  Speaker 12: Price is not having concerns on third down and I
• 38:12
  Speaker 12: think that he's the most instinctive runner in this draft class,
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: and including Jeremiah Loved. You know, we talk often talked
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: about how the Seahawks and John Schneider that they when
• 38:22
  Speaker 12: most NFL teams are zigging, that he'll zag. That's kind
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: of the way that Jerrem Price runs. He just has
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: an anticipation about him. He sees where defenders are going
• 38:32
  Speaker 12: and he is already making his cut to react. And
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: we talk so much about the outside zone that you
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: got to be able to plant your foot in the
• 38:40
  Speaker 12: ground and go downhill or cut back against the grain.
• 38:44
  Speaker 12: That's where this guy excels. I think he's going to
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: be a star in the NFL. I think that he
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: is one of only two along with Jeremiah Love, only
• 38:52
  Speaker 12: two backs that really deserve to be selected in the
• 38:55
  Speaker 12: first round. And if he is available at number three
• 38:57
  Speaker 12: to two overallan I think that he had there very
• 39:00
  Speaker 12: good chance. I'd be in the seatle selection.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Ranger.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Nailed it, nailed it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I want that later on today at two o'clock, that
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: last part, all right.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: It should be emblazoned.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I need that, I need the last twenty seconds Anderson,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: when we bring when we bring Rob on at two
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: o'clock today. I want to bring that on.
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: I did.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I did show them the two texts yesterday. The one
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: if we had a twenty seven round draft, Rang would
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: still know everybody true, and then if then the one
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: text yesterday was classic. I'm looking forward to the sixth
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: round pick. When Rob talks about, you know, how he
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: came from a single parent household, and like it went
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: on and on. I'm like, yeah, I know, off the
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: top of his head, he'll just fire that off there.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: So uh I I got to tell you this and
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: anders you around yesterday. Working with with Rang and Hugh
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: and they're very different in how they approach the things.

• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and nine show on Thursday and Friday is an absolute blast.

  Speaker 1: tell you how happy we are and we're here today
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: The people want more Ian, No they don't.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I have done my research. They don't.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Barely able to get you're crating, barely able.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: To stomach two hours. All right, So this is the
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: one o'clock hour, which would be our two these days,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: we're gonna check it. Rob Ring's gonna join us in
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: person at two o'clock. We'll get to him.

• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Day two. We're gonna be on the air until I'm
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: guessing last night it was nine ten. I'm guessing around
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: nine ten, nine o'clock, nine to fifteen, whatever, however long
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: it takes to get John and Mike out. After the
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: second and third rounds, they'll come out and we'll probably
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: if they make two picks, we'll hear from those two
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: picks live on the radio, like we did last night.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: We had a ton of people listening, which we really
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: appreciate everybody tuning in. It's it's you know. We live
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: in a world now with multimedia stuff. We joke about it,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: but the app is an ideal thing for you. If
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: you don't have the iHeart Radio app yet, make sure
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: you get it. I know last night there was a
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: lot of people because I lived this world for many years.

  Speaker 5: sitting at the studio by myself, yes, and Anders is
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: working another shift and I'm just sitting there and you're
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: out here or somewhere else.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I get to hear voices, hear from the people.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Voices are all right well. Voices we heard during the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: pre draft lead up included Rob Rang, Steve Pelozolo from
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the thirty third team that checked the mic podcast, and
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Greg Cosil, who also does work for the thirty third team.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Of course, ESPN Matchup show in NFL Films and all
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: previewing the draft. Well, one of those players that they
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: all talked about has already been picked by Seattle, Jadari
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: and Price, the running back out of Notre Dame. So
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: let's revisit, shall we what these guys said about Jadarian Price.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: We'll start with if we can start with Steve Pealozolo,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: can we do that? And absolutely here is Steve Pealosolo
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: talking about Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price, who ended
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: up being Seattle's first round selection.
• 44:57
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I think I think he's a second rounder. I mean,
• 44:59
  Speaker 14: if you look at him, he's a good player. He's
• 45:01
  Speaker 14: got some burst, you know, I think he's good up
• 45:04
  Speaker 14: to twenty yards. I think he's got some questions as
• 45:06
  Speaker 14: far as overall past game goes. But even you know
• 45:09
  Speaker 14: a couple of years ago when when Ken Walker and
• 45:11
  Speaker 14: Breece Hall went early second round, they felt like better
• 45:14
  Speaker 14: prospects than Price. You know, those were the top two
• 45:17
  Speaker 14: running backs off the board that year. Of course, in
• 45:20
  Speaker 14: recent years we've had Djon Robinson, Jamiir Gibbs, We've had
• 45:23
  Speaker 14: a few more of these, you know, Ashton genties, a
• 45:25
  Speaker 14: few more of these clean first round types. I think
• 45:28
  Speaker 14: Price feels more like in a normal year, I think
• 45:31
  Speaker 14: he's like running back five to six, maybe seven, you know,
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: in a in a deeper year, and he's gonna and
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: he's running back too. For a lot of people, I
• 45:38
  Speaker 14: think that ends up being the second round. If a
• 45:40
  Speaker 14: team has a desperate need, maybe they end up taking them,
• 45:43
  Speaker 14: you know, high second or you know, I know, Seattle
• 45:45
  Speaker 14: gets mocked, uh you know for him and at thirty two.
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: I don't know if I see that happening necessarily with
• 45:50
  Speaker 14: their switch two draft picks. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't do it,
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: but yeah, they feel much better take it. If they
• 45:56
  Speaker 14: could trade down pick up an extra couple picks, they'd
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: feel much better about taking them. With so few kicks,
• 46:01
  Speaker 14: you don't want to use one of them on a
• 46:02
  Speaker 14: running back. But I think he's a mid second round
• 46:04
  Speaker 14: type of player overall.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: God, that is that is crazy foreshadowing? Interesting, Huh if
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: you get past the first forty five seconds of what
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: he said, because you know, I'm running back five or
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: six in a normal draft, and yeah, this isn't a
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: strong draft for running backs. We all get that. Yeah,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: but if you get past that part of it and
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: go down to what he said at the end, like
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: I see Seattle taking him, but can you play like
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the last twenty second? Yeah, hold on, let me find
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: it really quickkay, Yeah, because I thought, because it's exactly
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: what ended up playing out. Not only did they take him,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: but they did want to move down uh in the
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: in the process too, which is really kind of I mean,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the foreshadowing there is nuts, because I think that's exactly
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: what Schnyder was kind of telling us last night is
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: what they wanted to see happen, and and you know,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't happen. This is listen again closely to Palozzolo
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and understand this is pretty much how it should have
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: or they wanted it to play out last night.
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: But yeah, they feel much better take you if they
• 47:02
  Speaker 14: can trade down, pick up an extra couple picks. They
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: feel at much better about taking them. With so few kicks,
• 47:07
  Speaker 14: you don't want to use one of them on a
• 47:08
  Speaker 14: running back. But I think he's a mid second round
• 47:10
  Speaker 14: type of player overall.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Wow, I think that's exactly what it took place. Yeah,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: they wanted him, but they wanted him out of the
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: first round, right, and that didn't happen. That's that's crazy,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: all right, that's Steve pell As all let's get our guy.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Great co sell, NFL Films, ESPN Matchup Show, also part
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: of the thirty third team with our own Hugh Millin
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: his thoughts on Jadarian.
• 47:34
  Speaker 15: Price, Jadarian Price, I mean he's clearly a good prospect.
• 47:38
  Speaker 15: I mean, let's let's understand that. You know, he's obviously
• 47:41
  Speaker 15: he spent two years being a quote unquote backup, you know,
• 47:46
  Speaker 15: but he's a solid prospect. I think he's got a
• 47:49
  Speaker 15: strong traits profile. He's got size, he's decisive, he's got burst,
• 47:53
  Speaker 15: he's got toughness. I think some NFL teams will believe
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: that he can be a feature back, although that term
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: is very team and scheme specific. I mean, I almost
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: go back a number of years to when kyn Williams
• 48:07
  Speaker 15: came out of Notre Dame. Again, we're in the Notre
• 48:09
  Speaker 15: Dame mode here apparently, and no one saw him as
• 48:12
  Speaker 15: a true feature back. And obviously you know him well
• 48:15
  Speaker 15: being in your division. But two years ago he had
• 48:17
  Speaker 15: over three hundred carries. This year he was close. So
• 48:21
  Speaker 15: I think it always comes down to team and scheme.
• 48:25
  Speaker 15: Price is not you know, a loose hipped guy. He's
• 48:28
  Speaker 15: probably a little stiff, but he's got very quick feed.
• 48:31
  Speaker 15: He can make those kind of sharp, controlled cuts. I
• 48:34
  Speaker 15: wouldn't call him a true home run hitter, but he
• 48:37
  Speaker 15: does have enough accelerating speed at times to run away
• 48:41
  Speaker 15: from second and third level defenders. I think he's a
• 48:44
  Speaker 15: strong prospect. He's certainly competitively tough, and I think that
• 48:48
  Speaker 15: that's what really stands out, and I think that's what
• 48:51
  Speaker 15: would stand out to the Seahawks.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: There you go, so Cosell higher on him than Paalozolo
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: very high on him. So from kind of ranking, it
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: rang one, cos L two, Palosolo three. But Palosol was
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: fine with him. He just didn't think he was a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: first round talent, right, I think is especially I.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Think that the Seahawks just thought they could get him
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: in the second.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, well they and they thought that not
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: only could they get him in the second, they thought
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: they could trade out of the first, right, and that
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and that's why again we go back to last night.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: It's it was. It was just a strange kind of
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: vibe in that regard because I think that that's Listen,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: you have goals going into a draft, and it doesn't
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: mean you didn't succeed. It doesn't mean you didn't get
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: the best player or the player that you wanted. There's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: two ways to look at it. Did you get the
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: player who wanted? Okay, yes, did you get him when
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: you wanted?
• 49:41
  Speaker 10: No?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Right, That's that's probably the best way to look at him.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: And everyone's kind of obsessed with value too, like you
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: want to try and get him in a spot where
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: you feel like you got to steal.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: This quote unquote.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and John Schneider is like a competitive guy,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: right this this is his time to like perform and
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: like and he doesn't feel like he did it as
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: well as he possibly could.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: That's where that comes from, you know.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: And and I think, yeah, like you said, the value,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: and you know, who determines what the value is right
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: right now? Usually what determines value is the market. And
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: in this case, they would have you know, like, I've
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: had to try to sell a house before and I
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: couldn't sell the damn thing. It took me a while, right, Like,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: that does happen. They wanted to sell that thirty second
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: pick and they weren't able to do it, and that
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I think is where the frustration came in. But they
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: get running back one and they address the biggest need
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: on the football team with the departure of Ken Walker.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the most important part of it
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: is that they got the guy and the position filled
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: that they needed to get done at the top of
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: the list. Now you can worry about cornerbacks or edge
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: rushers and those types of things. You know, we went
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: through the whole roster yesterday. In terms of the number
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: of players that they had. The thinnest position is cornerback.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: They've just got five guys there or six and it's
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and it's and you know if Pritchet makes or is
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: able to make a step and take a step up.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: As in terms of the play they have five they
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: have Iggy Witherspoon, Pritchett, Job and Gene Charles. Like they
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: have five cornerbacks on the roster right now, Like they
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: need to add to that room. That's got to be
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: that has got to be a priority. In terms of
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: edge guys, they've got roughly seven depending on where you
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: want to put different guys. The way they list the
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: linebackers is kind of you got to decipher through it.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: But they need to get some some value there. But
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: to get you know, to add to the room. Because
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: again going into yesterday, here was the running back room.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: It was George Lane, Jacartia Wright, cam Acres, Emmanuel Wilson,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney and Kenny McIntosh. Here's the thing. Kenny McIntosh,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney, Jacartia Wright all coming off season ending injuries.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: So basically, Emmanuel Wilson, cam Acres, George o'lannie, you're only
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: three healthy running backs heading into the summer. So they
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: added to that, they did. They that's so to me,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: it's a home run. To me, it's an absolute, unequivocal
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: home run that they get this guy. I just think
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: that they wanted to get into one days, two day,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: two tonight, sixty four ninety six.
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: I just think it makes this day so much more
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: interesting to see what kind of wheeling and dealing they might.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Do and important as well, like a really important day.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break, we'll come back. Danny
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: O'Neill will join us. We've got a lot of stuff
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: to discuss. We've got some football draft, maybe some mariners
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: to get to as well, all of that coming up.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I think we got to get into the Rassini stuff too.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: It just keeps going.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Did people see the people? Did you guys both see
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: the vaible stuff yesterday?
• 52:40
  Speaker 15: Yeah?
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: God, we used to joke about. We used to always
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: joke about how Pete Carroll would say a lot of
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: words and he would say nothing. Oh yeah, like he
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: was the man. And I give it. This isn't a criticism,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Like if you can do that, you're a master. Yeah,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: that's a masterclass. Lots of words.
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: Nothing said words out.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Abel said a lot of words yesterday and none of
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: them were None of them were good, Uh, outside of
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: the fact that you just threw her under the bush,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: which was pretty classless. All right, so we'll talk about that, Danny,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: as well as the draft coming up next.
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: It's time now for Danny O'Neill of The Dang Apostrophe,

  Speaker 1: is day two of the NFL drafts. Danny, we missed
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: you here yesterday. Buddy, we missed you. We missed you.
• 53:54
  Speaker 13: Would say you missed me?
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: Uh you missed me?

  Speaker 13: My loud cackle, annoying.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, well I missed Here's here's
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: why I would miss you. Because we had this conversation
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: with Ross Tucker earlier. I I didn't necessarily like competing
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: with people. I really liked and respected. You would fall
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: into that category. Jess would fall into that category. But see,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: now you're kind of on our team, so yes, I
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: would miss you in that regard.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, heart, Somehow.
• 54:27
  Speaker 13: Somehow I appreciate that. I appreciate that you and.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: They feed us well here, they treat us well. I'll
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: tell you the Seahawks, man, I'm just gonna you know
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: what's funny with the stuff going on. Have you have
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: you been catching up with the stuff in Portland with
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: with the new ownership here.
• 54:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah, man, it sounds like they've got Il Chipo in control.
• 54:48
  Speaker 13: Comes all of a sudden, He's like, you're gonna check
• 54:51
  Speaker 13: out of your hotel early. You're not traveling, and by
• 54:54
  Speaker 13: the way, you better make sure that you're not keeping
• 54:56
  Speaker 13: any of those towels from the hotels because I'm not
• 54:59
  Speaker 13: paying any extra.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Tom Dundon is indeed, there's L Chapo and there's
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: El Chiapo, and that's l Chiapo down there, and they Yeah,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I bring that up because it's interesting, same ownership group
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks and the Trailblazers for all those years
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: under Paul Allen and later you know, under the watchful
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: eye of Jodie Allen. Nothing was ever done cheaply really
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: for the most part, especially with the football team, and
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: now it's all cheap with the Blazers, and yeah, up here,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: they just treat the media so well, like we're set up, well,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: we got a perfect place to do our jobs and
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: bring everybody to the draft coverage, and then they feed
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: us like kings. It's just it's a spectacular setup. And
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: hopefully whoever buys the Seahawks keeps up that same standard
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: that Paul Allen set for so many years. Not necessarily
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: feeding us, that's obviously not a huge thing, but just
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: how they how they treat everything and go about their business.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Danie O'Neill joining us, all right, you wrote about it today.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: The running back position. Our friend John Schneider loves him
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: some running backs, doesn't he.
• 55:56
  Speaker 13: He does, and it is a trait that I think
• 56:00
  Speaker 13: runs through his tenure. I used to wonder how much
• 56:03
  Speaker 13: of it tied to Pete Pete. Pete values running backs
• 56:06
  Speaker 13: as well, but I think this selection kind of emphasizes
• 56:10
  Speaker 13: that's that's John Steel too. And this is now it's
• 56:14
  Speaker 13: the sixth time they've taken a running back in the
• 56:16
  Speaker 13: first three rounds. It's the second time it's been in
• 56:19
  Speaker 13: the first round, and that is that it's tied for
• 56:23
  Speaker 13: the highest number of any draft picks of any team.
• 56:27
  Speaker 13: The Rams have also taken six in the first three
• 56:30
  Speaker 13: rounds over the past seventeen years. But Seattle's got two
• 56:34
  Speaker 13: first rounders, and it's very much against the grain of
• 56:39
  Speaker 13: the analytically minded. And I used to complain about it,
• 56:43
  Speaker 13: and I'll just now admit they probably know something I
• 56:46
  Speaker 13: don't know, or I'm not as smart as I think
• 56:48
  Speaker 13: I am when it comes to positional value. Because clearly
• 56:52
  Speaker 13: the Seahawks are doing something right, and their insistence or
• 56:56
  Speaker 13: desire to draft running backs that the very least isn't
• 56:58
  Speaker 13: keeping them from being one of the most consistently successful
• 57:01
  Speaker 13: teams in the league.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: You got a quote in your callum today that I
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: laughed for a couple of reasons. One Gouy named Derek
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Clausen of the Athletics says, quote that just seems like
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: bad operating procedure. Well, listen, if anybody knows about bad
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: operating procedure right now, be the Athletic. But we'll just
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: leave that little well, we'll let that one slide. Well, well,
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that. We'll get to that before we're done, sir,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: we'll get to bad operating procedure. Listen, we love our
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: friends at the Athletic but I we choose your words carefully.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: These days people like just chuish your words carefully.
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: One of the things we talked about yesterday THO Daddy
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: in our post show with Hugh and Rob rang and
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: myself and then we you know, we're kind of checking
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: around talking to some other media members up there, and
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: you know, most of us have covered almost I mean
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: a good portion of the people up in that room.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: It's crazy, have covered almost every John Schneider draft since
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: twenty ten. He came into the room and he was
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: he was his normal effusive self and neither way and
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald is a little more subdued anyway. But they
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: just kind of looked, I don't want to say defeated,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: but disappointed, I guess, and I and we kind of
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: came to the conclusion of consensus among many of us
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: that they were disappointed not in the player. They got
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: the player they probably wanted, and they obviously they got
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: running back number two, but they addressed in need, right,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: they addressed that need. They filled the biggest hole on
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: their roster with Kenneth Walker's departure, the other ones on defense,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: you can all there's all people who can slide into
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: those positions, but they stopped that. But they didn't move down,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: which Schnyder said before the draft and four times yesterday
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: in the post first round news conference. They wanted to
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: move down, they were unable to do so they did
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: accomplish that to cumulate more picks. So was it a
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: win or was it just kind of a push yesterday
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: what they were able to do.
• 58:52
  Speaker 13: I would I would evaluate it as a push that
• 58:54
  Speaker 13: that they the way things unfolded and the trades that
• 58:58
  Speaker 13: happened in front of them, that they didn't get the
• 59:01
  Speaker 13: opportunity to move back like they would have preferred. But
• 59:04
  Speaker 13: the one thing I would I would say about reading
• 59:07
  Speaker 13: Schneider's body language is there we got very accustomed to
• 59:13
  Speaker 13: the John and Pete Carol and the Schneid, the comedy
• 59:17
  Speaker 13: act that they had, and John and Mike McDonald have
• 59:22
  Speaker 13: their own rapport going back and forth. But I think
• 59:26
  Speaker 13: that I think that they're trying to figure out how
• 59:28
  Speaker 13: are they going to message and what is their public
• 59:33
  Speaker 13: presence going to be Like in the wake of going
• 59:35
  Speaker 13: to the Super Bowl. It's different. So I agree with you.
• 59:38
  Speaker 13: I clearly John would always prefer to move back, but
• 59:42
  Speaker 13: I think that you're seeing a little bit more of
• 59:45
  Speaker 13: a reserved approach. I wouldn't be surprised if we see
• 59:48
  Speaker 13: more examples of that over the next few months, as
• 59:52
  Speaker 13: they the question of how you defend a title or
• 59:56
  Speaker 13: how you get back to the mountaintop. It's a different
• 59:59
  Speaker 13: process than getting there the first time. There has to
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 13: be You've got to keep guys motivated, you have to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 13: fight against everybody wanting their share of the spoils from victory,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 13: and you have to figure out how to get the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 13: guys that are coming in to believe that they can
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 13: compete and surpass the guys that have won, the kind
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 13: of the dominant alpha males that are there, the guys
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 13: that have won the title. But I would evaluate it
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 13: as a push. To answer your question, I don't think
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 13: they were bummed, but they wished it had gone differently.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: I think they just wish they would have got the
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: more picks, especially for day three. We went through Day three,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you know day three picks under John Schnader before and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I mean the absolute damage he has done, you know,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: in Day three is just remarkable, right, I mean, it's
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: just what he's done over the years. It's crazy, you know,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking back. I don't know how to phrase it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: What do you think they learned from winning the Super
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Bowl in twenty thirteen going in to the twenty fourteen draft?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: And I say it from this standpoint, they were able
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: to trade thirty two that year. They traded the thirty
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: second pick to Minnesota. Yeah, then they traded down again.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: They ended up with Paul Richardson. Really, that draft didn't
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: produce a ton for them. They got Justin britt solid player,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Paul Richardson didn't turn out what they wanted. Marsh was okay,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Kevin Norwold know Kevin Peter Lewis solid player elsewhere, not
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: so much here. And then a bunch of guys that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: never played a snap. So what do you think they
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: learned from Because you just said I think it's interesting,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: what do you think they learned from twenty they being
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: John and his staff learned from winning it in twenty
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: thirteen into the twenty fourteen draft.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 13: Well, one of the things that they definitely learned was
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 13: the importance of building some continuity along the offensive line.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 13: When Seattle won the Super Bowl the first time in
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 13: twenty thirteen, they had one of the higher paid offensive lines,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 13: and they continued to draft players on the offensive line.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 13: They didn't pay to keep guys, they let when guys
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 13: came free agents, they let him walk. And the rationale
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 13: that they had at the time was, really, you have
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 13: to be a superstar player for us to extend you,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 13: and if not, we're going to get younger and we're gonna,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 13: we're gonna, we're gonna take the short term step back
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 13: comes from lacking continuity or from going with the younger
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 13: player to see if the next guy we get there
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: can be a real star. I think you'll see a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 13: different approach this time when it comes to retaining the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 13: offensive line. When it when it comes to the draft,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 13: clearly there is a belief that you've got to keep
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 13: running backstocked and that that you don't don't make do
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 13: don't figure that that's something you can find later in
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 13: the draft. That the resolution out of it and not
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 13: paying Kenneth Walker but drafting a running back in the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 13: first round believes that they believe in young legs. And
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 13: and then I think the third thing and this we
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 13: don't really have an indication of it yet. I think
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 13: that there was a belief or a conclusion coming out
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: of that that of all the great things, that Pete
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 13: Carroll's sort of unwavering belief than guys, and he wanted
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 13: individuals to be themselves and he would manage the personalities,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 13: but he wanted guys to be very, very confident and
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 13: feel that they were possible of anything. I think there's
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 13: going to be the question of how do you how
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 13: do you manage is that sort of messaging? Does that
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 13: make it harder once you experience success, because people want
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 13: to hold that. The year after they won the Super Bowl,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 13: Marshaun held out, he didn't miss any games, but he
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 13: was there for the start of training camp. The next year,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 13: Cam Chancellor holds out he missed two games. And I
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 13: stopped short of saying that was where sort of Seattle's
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 13: dynasty or their chance that a dynasty ended. I know
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 13: a lot of people think that between that and the handoff,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 13: the Seahawks bounced back and made the playoffs that year,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 13: but you did see individual agendas and then specifically with
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 13: Russ and I don't know if there's any coach that
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 13: could have kept Russ from from kind of believing that
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 13: he needed to be the central character. But I think
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 13: that we'll see a different management style this time in
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 13: terms of how they message to players and how they talk.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 13: You're already hearing it. The emphasis on culture and team
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 13: and who they are.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no doubt. And listen, Danny, I think the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: holdouts are the key. I didn't even think about that.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: By the way, Danny is brought to you by our
• 1:04:20

• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Eric Gordon.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Have the holdouts were the thing?
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: That's that's when you think back the beginning of the end,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: among other things, probably was the holdouts. Probably was what
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: was going on with god if Yeah, Marshawn doing Marshawn thing.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Earl's remember Earl just standing there, not he was holding in,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: not holding out, you know, like just not doing. And
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: then yeah, and then the two the two games that
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: that Cam missed. You lost a game in Saint Louis
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: because your backup wasn't good enough on a on a
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: last second play, and then you go and get beat
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: by Green Bay the next week you're zing too, and
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: you don't have home field advantage in the playoffs like
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: that was. I think they've gotten ahead of that, you know.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's one thing we've seen. They've
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: gotten ahead of that. Right With contracts, you know, They've
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: they've got JSN under under a contract. They're gonna they
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Witherspoon's gonna get done as well with the with the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: fifth years, you know, and all that stuff. I think
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: they've gotten ahead of all that stuff. I think they
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: have learned and figured that out, and that's they're not
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: gonna make those mistakes again. And they locked up the
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: two offensive tackles and Lucas and cross A draft z Abel.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: They'll probably do something with Sundell at some point, and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: whether or not they figure out the right guard if
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: it needs an upgrade. But I think you're right. Those
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: those are the things that are very different the last
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: time they won.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 13: You also had the dynamic that when Seattle won the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 13: Super Bowl, last time their quarterback is playing on a
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 13: third round pick deal. He was the biggest bargain in
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 13: pro sports. And one of the unique tensions that developed
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 13: was all the other players knew that the quarterback was
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 13: eventually going to get paid and that he was going
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 13: to last, and that that created tension because of sort
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 13: of the attitudes and the style that that defense played with.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 13: Some of what we're talking about is unique to those
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 13: players on defense. And like I said, I'm not sure
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 13: if anybody was going to manage manage Richard Sherman or
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 13: be able to keep guys from from expressing themselves, but
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 13: Pete style specifically and the way he did encourage guys
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 13: to and and build them up, I think it did.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 13: There was that The flip side of that was that
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 13: it's when you when you spend all that time saying
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 13: we want you to be yourself, we believe in you,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 13: when that person says, okay, well I believe I'm worth
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 13: this much more, and it's hard to tell him no,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 13: they're not gonna listen to no. So I would agree
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 13: with you. I think it already is different. But that's
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 13: gonna be one of the challenges that they have to
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 13: they have to manage because it is sort of a
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 13: different phase of team building. Now you're trying to sustain
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 13: rather than see if you can get over the hump.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Dan and I'll joining us here. All right, let's get
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: to it. Huh, Like our friends the athletic I took
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: a cheap shot. I'm sorry. That was not nice in
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: me to do so. But I mean, god, uh so
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: does Vrabel? Does he? Does he hurt himself or Russini
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: or the whole situation every time he steps to the podium.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 13: Both and the the the entire issue. My perspective on
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 13: this is that people have affairs. These things happen in
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 13: course of life. They are very painful for the families involved.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 13: They are largely personal. They're not they're not things that
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 13: generally enter sort of the the public sphere. In this case,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: one of the people involved in what appears to be
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 13: an affair like that's that's all the appearances we have
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 13: now is it's very specifically forbidden in terms of her profession.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 13: For a reporter to have a romantic relationship with a
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 13: source is a clear that's a bright red line. In general,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 13: reporters are not supposed to have their coverage is not
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 13: supposed to be influenced by their personal feelings about someone
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 13: and be friends or go to bat or someone. That
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 13: the idea of it being a romantic relationship makes that
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 13: much more clear cut. I got that is a bright
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 13: red line. There are other red lines that other insiders
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 13: have crossed in my opinion, Adam Schefter emailing the president
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 13: of an NFL team and giving him a chance to
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 13: review stories. But this is this is a specific like
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 13: that was a breach of a professional code of conduct
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 13: for Rabel. For Rabel, it's it doesn't it's not really
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 13: a professional thing, or it didn't start out as a
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 13: professional thing. In my opinion, that you could make the
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 13: argument that it has an impact because he's if he
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 13: was potentially giving information to a reporter, but coaches and
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 13: gms give information to reporters all the time, Like that's
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 13: not contingent upon a romantic relationship. In my mind, at
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 13: the beginning, for Rabel, it is a personal thing. When
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 13: he denied and called it laughable to The New York
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 13: Post before the first batch of pictures were published. He's
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 13: kind of putting himself out there of saying he's denied.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 13: He's saying it's not happened. And then when he got
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 13: up and talked about it the first time, it became
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 13: very clear that he had put himself in a very
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 13: difficult spot because if he can't just say, hey, that's
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 13: a personal thing, you can can't talk about it because
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 13: it's like, well, a week ago, you told those guys
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 13: that it was laughable. Is it still lappable or not?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 13: And so at that point I think it started. And
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 13: now clearly it is a professional issue for him because
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 13: he's missing the third day of the draft to go
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 13: to counseling, and he's not saying what happened. And look,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 13: I don't I'm not his boss. I don't I don't
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 13: have any understand I don't have any strong feelings about
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 13: whether this will challenge his ability to relate to players
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 13: or whether they'll take him less. Here. My sense is
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 13: is that everybody that plays for him understands that this
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 13: is his own thing he's dealing with, and it is
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 13: a personal matter. But the way the Patriots and Rabel
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 13: have handled this is they took it once the once,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 13: once the photos were published, once that happened, they basically
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 13: made it into a professional issue for their coach, to
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 13: the point where it's he not only looks really bad,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 13: but now you have people debating or questioning whether he
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 13: can still coach, which to me, it's it's just everybody.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 13: Everybody looks terrible in this situation, which is maybe how
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 13: everybody should look given what's happened.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably it, right, Like there's nobody should
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: look good here, you know, with uh, there's and for
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: people like listen, we always joke around Danny. I mean you, you,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: for however many years, worked as wait for it, a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: professional print journalist for the Seattle Times. You had a
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: couple of different beats over the years. You you had
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: to uphold a certain standard with the newspaper of record
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: in the state of Washington, and and there's certain things
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: you do and you, like you said it. The lines
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: have been blurred, There's no doubt the lines have been
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: blurred a lot over the years. And so we're kind
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: of in a different spot. I mean, I I remember
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: being I still critical, not just because he's Howard's kid.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: But Jordan Schultz is a so called insider. He's out
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: there trying to break news all the time. And for
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: those who don't know how he operates, it's not sleeping
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: with somebody, but he has famously he basically bribes people.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: He's like, Hey, I got this great penthouse apartment in
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: New York. You can come stay here with your wife
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: or your girlfriend or whoever. Different things like that. I mean,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: he uses monetary means to gain information and to buy
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: friendships and to buy relationships. I don't know how much
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: different that is than sleeping with somebody, you know, or
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: having an affair with somebody. It's it's greasy, you know.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: And I see Albert Breer write a story today. He's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: got inside access to the Rams and he's spinning their
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: story how they want him to spin it. That nothing
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: to see here. Mcveigh's on board with ty Simpson really
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't appear that way, right, Like, why do I Why
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: am I believing you?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 10: Know?
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: Why do I believe you? I mean, I know you're
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: not You're probably not sleeping with them, But I mean,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: why am I believing you?
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 16: Like?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's brought the whole insider world into question.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, it should.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 13: The insider world is entirely built around personal relationships and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 13: wink and nod or arrangements about how information is parceled out.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 13: It is a very uninteresting part of the business for me.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 13: I think it is a very slimy business. And I
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 13: think there are constantly deals that are being made between
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 13: people or the reporter is so housebroken like a trained dog,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 13: that they know what they're not supposed to report. They
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 13: know what food is for them and what they have
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 13: to leave. But it's all rooted in personal relationships. And
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 13: Diana Rossini clearly has a personal relationship that was at
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 13: a different dimension, but it's a personal relationship with a
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 13: source and that sort of thing. There are supposed to
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 13: be bright red lines and those have evaporated for the
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 13: people that work in those industries. And I would just say,
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 13: here are the rules to.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 17: Crisis management that I would say, Number one, never deny
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 17: something you know to have occurred, Like, don't ever come
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 17: out if somebody is asking you about something that you
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 17: know has happened and you're a public figure, you have
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 17: to not comment.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 13: You can't you cannot lie because that lie could end
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 13: up becoming way worse than anything that you've done. Number two,
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 13: do not take an L on behalf of someone else
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 13: already taking an L. If somebody that you've had a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 13: relationship is running into a professional problem because she's a
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 13: reporter and pictures have come out, don't then hop on
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 13: the grenade because it's gonna end up blowing you up too.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 13: And then the third thing is, don't call press conferences
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 13: that sound like apology press conferences if you're not going
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 13: to apologize.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that the denial and the laughable and all
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 13: I mean, I'm gonna deny this and not give it oxygen.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah that didn't Maybe.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 13: Maybe maybe everybody just deserves to look bad.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: I think so, Right, I think so. And I think
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: it goes back to what we just said. It's it's
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: puts a lot of things into question of in terms
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: of so called insiders, right, just puts a lot of
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: things into question. And it's unfortunate because a lot of
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: people have there to probably do it, do it, do
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: it the right way, and there's others that haven't. And
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: I'm like a lot of us Now we're gonna take
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of things with a grain of salt right,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: and you know along the way.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 13: The thing that I do like is this description that
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 13: Sean McVay was acting last night when he pretended to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 13: be super pissed that they selected Ty Stimpson. Because what
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 13: I would know is that if you're going to draft
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 13: a quarterback in the first round, like, one of the
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 13: best things you can do for that player's confidence is
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 13: have his new coach go pretend that he absolutely hates
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 13: the fact that you can know, like, that's the way
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 13: to get that relationship off on the right foot.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: That was nothing to see here. Mcphay's on board. Okay,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: really he's on board.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 13: Really, I'm pretending God bad, so Matthew Stafford will hate
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 13: less Snead instead of me, unless, of course, Simpson turns
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 13: out to be a bust, and then everybody will just
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 13: think it's Less Sneed's pick, and I'll be off the hook.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: So good, so good. Tell people the dang apostrophe, my friend.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 13: It is a newsletter that comes out next next Monday.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 13: I am going to have the faces of the NFC West.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 13: It will include a picture of Sean McVay staring daggers
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 13: at Less Snead with a series of captions you go
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 13: to Danny O'Neill dot com. You enter your email address
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 13: and I'll send you that online.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: You're the best. I'll talk to you next Friday. Man,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: take care all right, take care of you. Ask Danny O'Neal,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: will take a break. Come back, by the way. Shadarian

  Speaker 1: draft coverage. We got off the air at nine to ten,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: and much like Jackson Andrews who decided to might.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: Be the only one that didn't get invited to go out.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: You were at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.

  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so which is cool.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Probably lots of soccer talk, Oh god.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: How much? How much of the conversation was Premier League?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: Actually none? No soccer whatsoever? Actually? Really yeah, pretty surprising.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: Well I ended up, uh, he was, He and I
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: were talking and we ended up going to Dnos across
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: the street here and my son joined us. He was
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: coming back. He's in EMT school right now.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: Wow, you guys are lucky and getting at key for appearance.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: I know, Keifer appearance is weird. He was driving down
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: four oh five from Kirkland from the Lake Washington Institute
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: of Technology or whatever they do the e M T
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: training and class at. So he's driving home and I said, hey,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: swing by. So he stopped by real quick to see
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: you and my and I got a tutorial on why
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: arm length means it makes a difference in the draft.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Not only a tutorial, but I also got like hands
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: on tutorial by these two guys. So what you were getting.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: So we're in dinos and we're doing arm length things,
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: if we're doing a pressure thing, if we're doing this,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: and we're doing and you know what I because Rob
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: was talking about it yesterday and as Hugh with different
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: guys with arm length right and I've always been listening
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: most of us. They're doing what I'm doing right now,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: putting a headset on just bs and talking, you know
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: about the draft. We don't know what the hell we're
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: talking about. And I hear like Rob's goes, oh, guy's
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: got thirty one and five eighths length arm who cares
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: like it's like an inch shorter than it should be.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Amazing what that inch means like, it's an amazing like
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: like in terms of reach for both mostly what rob
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: offensive lignment and cornerbacks. Right, Yeah, and so I've got
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: you and Keith for standing up in Dino's like holding
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: their arms out. Do this, do this. I'm getting pushed around,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: beat up, abused. I'm hurting today.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 5: Actually, now, Iburandinos, it probably look like the regular crowd.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of did. Actually, what's going on over there? Nothing,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: just a little pass rush drill. We're just doing a
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: pass rush. But it is really amazing, Like Maya Noah
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: from Miami, the guy the tackle this gout literally shorter arms, right,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: and Ross Tucker talked about us with us earlier, saying
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: he's got a bad back too, but the arm length
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: is a it's a concern and they're gonna probably move
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: him to guard and they were showing me why so
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: when you My point is this, when you hear about
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: arm length that one inch or half an inch, believe
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: it or not, through the demonstration, I'll ask you to
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: put a video together for us at some point it
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: means a ton, and it's why Pete Carroll for all
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: those years he wouldn't have a cornerback with arms that
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: were under a certain amount of like like thirty two
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: I think it was something like that inches. It makes
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: a massive difference. So yeah, while you guys were talking
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: World Cup or whatever, I got a tutorial on arm
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: length last night, excellent over a Georgetown tavern beer and
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: it was sensational. It was a great night for me.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: Very sounds really awesome.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: At one point, they both chastised me, are you watching, Yes,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: I'm watching. Yes, I'm engaged.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: We gotta get a key for it to be our
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: offensive line analyst. We got a QB analyst and Hugh,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: we need an offensive line analyst.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they were talking stuff way over my head
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: last time, going on none whatsoever. All right, two o'clock
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: hour is about done? Coming up in the three o'clock.

  Speaker 1: at two thirty two day. All right, that's a dumb man.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. We've got Rob Rang standing by,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: brought to you by Forarellies. We've got draft stuff to
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: talk about. Let's get to it right now.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 9: As part of our never ending coverage of the NFL,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 9: it's time for Ian's weekly visit with Rob Rang from
• 1:25:04

• 1:25:26
  Speaker 12: The fact that Jeremiah loved quote unquote other Notre Dame
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 12: running back gets so much attention. I think that's one
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: of the reasons why people are sleeping a little bit
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 12: on Judeeri on Price like one of the real criticisms
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 12: that people have of him is the fact that he
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 12: supposedly wasn't very effective on third down. Well, that's that's
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: one of the things that Jeremiah Loved does exceptionally well.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's getting comparisons to Alvin Kamaras and you
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 12: know and play in people like that. So, you know,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 12: just because he is so good out of the backroom
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 12: as a receiver, j was the Notre Dame's primary cut
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 12: kickoff return kickoff returner throughout his college career, had three
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 12: returns for touchdowns over his career. Obviously, this is the
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 12: Seahawks team that prioritizes special teams play and Notre Dame,
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 12: Marcus Freeman's head coach is not going to put a
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 12: player back that they don't trust his hands. He just
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 12: didn't give very many opportunities on third down because that's
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 12: where Jeremiah Love was so special.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 10: So I just see.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 12: Jenderim Price is not having concerns on third down, and
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 12: I think that he's the most instinctive runner in this
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 12: draft class game, including Jeremiah Love. You know, we talked
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 12: often talked about how the Seahawks and John Schneiders if
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 12: they when most NFL teams are zigging that he'll zag.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 12: That's kind of the way that Jenerim Price runs. He
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 12: just has an anticipation about him. He sees where defenders
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 12: are going and he is already making his cut to react.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 12: And we talk so much about the outside zone that
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 12: you got to be able to plan you're put in
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 12: the ground and go downhill or cut back against the grain.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 12: That's where this guy excels. I think he's going to
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 12: be a star in the NFL. I think that he
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 12: is one of only two along with Jeremiah Love, only
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 12: two backs that really deserve to be selected in the
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 12: first round. And if he is available at number three
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 12: to two overall, I think that he has a very
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 12: very good chance of being the Seattle selection.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: That was about a month ago. You nailed it, kind
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: of nailed it. Would be so humble he nailed.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 18: It well, you know, I'd like to see, let's see
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 18: how Day two goes. But it's funny. I've talked to
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 18: a couple of the Sea X Scouts here in the
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 18: last twenty four hours, you know, here at the Virginia
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 18: Mason Athletic Center and kind of just giving them some
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 18: credit for winning the Super Bowl and It's funny they
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 18: kind of, you know, begrudgingly kind of you know, give
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 18: you a fist puff and say all right, let's run
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 18: it back. And that's the way I feel like is like,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 18: you know, this is my job. I am angry when
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 18: I don't get selections right because I do dedicate Lord
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 18: knows basically all year long to evaluating these prospects and
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 18: trying to, you know, figure out who's the best fit.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 18: And to me, Jadarien Price just made so much sense
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 18: for the Seahawks in terms of you lose the running
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 18: back canth walk of the third of course the Ranning
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 18: Super Bowl MVP in free agency, and so you have
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 18: to replace him. With the injury to Zach Sharpenny just
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 18: makes it the situation that much more. I don't know
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 18: if I would say dire, because I would agree with
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 18: what John Schneider said. You can find running backs just
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 18: in this classing. It was a much smaller pool to
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 18: select from than normal, and so if you were going
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 18: to get a running back that truly can tilt the
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 18: field in your favor, then you had to be willing
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 18: to invest a selection in it. So I think that
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 18: the Seahawks fans that maybe are grumbling because some other
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 18: prognosticators out there say that this is not a great
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 18: value selection. I would disagree with that, and I think
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 18: that they are going to be very satisfied when they
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 18: see what price can do for the SEAHAWKXY this upcome
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 18: and season.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: I just go back again. It's like a month and
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: a half ago or whenever. When when was that? Actually, Anders,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: do you have a date on that when we did
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: that tape?
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: That way?
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: I have to double check the actual date that right,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: it was I think early or late March actually, so
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: I think almost exactly a month ago.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: About a month ago, and we were talking because we
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: were doing our pre draft conversations with you with great
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: co Salesteve Palozzolo and and you know, and we talked running.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: We went position group by position group, and you nailed it.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: And so this isn't you saying, and you know after
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: the fact, Hey, Seattle picked a guy that had a
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: first round grade. You said back in March, this is
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: a guy that would have a first round grade. He
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: if there, he's there at thirty two, it would make
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: sense for Seattle to take him and he will be
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: a star. We'll see if he's going to be a star.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: But you nailed that pick, and so good for you.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: And I just bring that up because again there's people
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: that are like, you know, Hindsight's twenty twenty. Sure you
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: called it back then, So well done. That's give yourself
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: some credit. That was that was that was well done.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: You also, as you mentioned, you talked to a few
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Seahawks guys. You might know a little bit how their
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: inner workings are. This was one where helped me out.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: We talked about it last night. I think they got
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: the player they wanted. Yeah, maybe not where they wanted.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I think that with Is that fair?
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I think fair?
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 16: Uh.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 18: You know, the reality is the Seahawks have the NFL's
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 18: least amount of draft picks this year, with only four selections,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 18: and you know, I think that if you look at
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 18: who the teams that are selecting next, it was very
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 18: unlikely that they were going to go running back. So sure,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 18: you know, I think the Seattle would have loved to
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 18: have traded back a few spots and still be able
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 18: to get this player and give themselves another pick. We
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 18: we all know the success that the John Schneider and
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 18: his scouts have had. On Day three of the draft,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 18: I think that they wanted to have some extra selections. Uh,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 18: you know, But at the same time, again, I think
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 18: that you had to get the running back before you
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 18: could worry about anything else.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: Rob Rang joining us here the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 1: All right, let's look around. We'll talk about the rest
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: of the first round in the NFL in a second.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: Let's let's look ahead to what Seattle has lying in
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: front of it for the next two days. Today they
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: have two picks, a second round pick and a third
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: round pick. Tomorrow they have one pick, and that would
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: be a sixth round pick, so three picks left to go.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: Let's start first with this. How much value is there
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: in the final pick of the second round? Is that
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: even worth thinking about moving or do you think they're
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: going to be able to find a guy there corner
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: edge that makes more sense than trying to trade down.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 18: Well, of course, it remains me seeing who's gonna be available.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 18: We're thirty two picks away, but I anticipate that there
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 18: is going to be a starting caliber cornerback and a
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 18: starting caliber edge rusher that is available at that spot,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 18: and so I think it makes a novel of sense.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 18: Just a stick and pick. To me, those are the
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 18: three biggest positions of concern running back, edge rusher, cornerback.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 18: If you want to throw safety in there as well,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 18: I get that. And so you know, I think that
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 18: Seattle again could stay and just make force elections this
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 18: year and feel pretty darn good about it as long
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 18: as they are able to grab players at a point
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 18: of value. Now, again, there's some out there who's argued
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 18: that Generian Price was not that a number thirty two overall.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 7: I disagree.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 18: I think that the running back depth drops off significantly,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 18: and I would argue that all the way I would
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 18: say it is that of the next thirty two players
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 18: on my personal board, I have zero running backs among
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 18: the next thirty two best players, Wow, I have seven
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 18: people only only to have been taken. Only two have
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 18: been taken. I have seven corners, I have seven edge rushers.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 18: I only have what two quarterbacks? I have two centers.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 18: I mean, it's just that this draft is every draft
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 18: is unique. Every draft has certain positional position strengths and weaknesses.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 18: But again, one of the real strengths of this particular
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 18: draft is corner and edge depth. And so that's why
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 18: I think that sew played the hand that they were
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 18: dealt beautifully. They got their running back early on, recognizing
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 18: the depth that corner and edge rusher was going to
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 18: carry all throughout Day two and so take advantage of that.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: Rob ran with us brought to you by our good
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: friends at Farrellis for Ellis Pizza dot com. It's a Friday,
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: you want to go watch the draft, maybe even the
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: baseball game? Going to local for rallies for Elispizza dot
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: com for locations near you early and late happy hours,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: great pizza. Love that place as just their last Friday
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: with my wife. Rob goes down in one of the
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: ones South Soundwich location again.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 7: Actually right next to the Well Olympia Lacey all over.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 18: It's coma Yeah, great pizza, fantastic pizza.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: We love those guy. To Calson last week was absolutely outstanding.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: All right. Uh, if they only end up with the
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: four picks with where their roster is set and right now,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, stick and pick, stick and
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: pick kind of feels like the most likely scenario right
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: in the second round. Maybe you move the third round
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: pick depending ones that one makes more sense to move,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: you know. Again, let's just like knowing the depth of
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: the draft, not even position wise, does it make more
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: sense to move the three than it does the two.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 18: I think they actually would probably make more sense to
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 18: move the two just because of the fact that you know,
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 18: it's theoretically you're going to better players that they able
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 18: to sixty four than ninety six, where I think is fascinating.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 7: And this is where I.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 18: Really am curious to see if the Seahawks are willing
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 18: to do this, is if they're just willing to trade
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 18: some of the selections in next year's draft. And we've
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 18: talked about this, that the Seahawks are expected to get,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 18: you know, four or five compensatory picks for the free
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 18: agent losses of Kant Walker, the third Wreek one, Kobe Bryant,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 18: and Boy Mafe. Some are forecasting that seas are gonna
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 18: have twelve draft picks next year. Ian there is no
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 18: way that twelve rookies next year are going to make
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 18: this Seahawks roster. So there's going to be either trades
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 18: up next year by the Seahawks just to take full
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 18: advantage of their assets, or trade up this year. And
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 18: so that to me is what's going to be interesting.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 18: And this show is how sick I am when I
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 18: said there for a couple of hours this morning waiting
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 18: to hop on and talk about this draft with you.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 18: A sorry Ryan mock draft for next year from the
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 18: twenty twenty seven class, And I can't tell you that
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 18: watching some of the players that are going to be
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 18: available in twenty twenty seven, if they all come.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 7: Out early, as you know we're.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 18: Anticipating at this point, the twenty twenty seven draft is loaded.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 18: So I certainly would understand why John Schneider and the
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 18: Seahawks would be a little hesitant to trade any of
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 18: their picks next year. I mean, there is just so
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 18: much more talent still weighing the weeds in college football level.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 18: But if you want to win now, you know, then
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 18: I do think that the Seahawks it would make an
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 18: awful lot of sense to trade some of those draft
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 18: picks scheduled for next year to jump back into the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 18: second or third rounds. To me, Ian, this is my
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 18: favorite day of this particular draft, because I think this
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 18: is kind of the golden zone. The player that's going
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 18: to get selected at number thirty three overall, in my opinion,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 18: is not significantly better than the player that Sealle's likely
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 18: to select a number ninety six. Overall, there's just a
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 18: glut of players kind of in this middle. I only
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 18: had twelve players this entire draft I thought were clear
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 18: first round selections, and those were twelve. With the first
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 18: fourteen players selected this year, uh, you know, the thirty
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 18: two players that have come off the board so far,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 18: we're all among my top forty overall ranked players this year.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 18: I'm without trying to pat myself on the back too much,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 18: I'm reading this board correctly, and I do believe that again,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 18: Sealle's gonna, if not necessarily trade back from sixty four
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 18: or ninety six, but possibly use one of their twenty
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 18: twenty seven draft picks to get back into that sixty
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 18: four to ninety six Golden Zone era.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Okay, Rob Rank joining us Foxsports dot Com, Seahawks
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: dot Com, and of course our Draft Insider brought to
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: you by our good friends at Felisfellispizza dot com. Let's
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: look at the NFL first round overall. What's your just
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: your overriding theme of what happened yesterday?
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 18: Well, again, you know, there's twelve players in the first
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 18: fourteen selections went off the board pretty darn quickly. One
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 18: of the exceptions was number thirteen overall Los Angeles Rams,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 18: taking the quarterback Ty Simpson. We talked about that a
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 18: lot last night, but for those of you listening right now,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 18: and thank you. As always Ian gets to say that,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 18: and I want to say thank you also to everybody
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 18: listening or watching. You know, the selection of Ty Simpson
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 18: by the Los Angeles Rams to me just screams about
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 18: the you know, the potential that obviously Rams general manager
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 18: Less Sneed sees and Ty Simpson, but also perhaps a
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 18: little bit of the disconnect between the general manager Lessneed
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 18: and the head coach Sean McVay, because I think that
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 18: Sean McVay was kind of itching to find a player
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 18: that might be able to help the Rams immediately. So
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 18: that was definitely one of the massive storylines.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: Let me stop he there, because that's the one that
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: made that. Let's let's even if we just say that
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: everyone's on the same page. We had Ross talker on
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: earlier from NFL Player West with One Guy, and Ross
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: had a point that I think we've all thought about
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: and talked to, but we should discuss again two things.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: One the Rams in this division. You could probably make
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: a pretty strong argument the two best teams in the
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: NFL last season were Seattle in la Ye, Like it's
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: it's like you're You're It's almost like you're playing in
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: the Big ten football like you're or the old SEC
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: when back when where the SEC used to be good
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: at football back in the day. But like the two
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: best teams are you and your neighbor, and they're a
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: heartbeat away from being the Super Bowl champions last year.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: Seattle wins that they had a chance to pick a
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: guy or two that could help them today. Whether Ty
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: Simpson ends up being good or not, that's two or
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: three years down the road before we know that. But
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: today they could have made a guy, They could have
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: drafted a player that would have made Seattle a lot
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: more uncomfortable, the forty nine ers more uncomfortable, the Eagles,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: the Bears go through the list, and they didn't. That's
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: what surprised me. Like, and if you're a veteran like
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: Ross mentioned. Ross says as a former player, if I'm
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: a veteran in that RAMS room, I'm like, what the
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: hell are we doing? Like, what are we doing?
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 1: So to me, that's a huge win for the rest
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: of the NFC.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 18: I one hundred percent agree with you, and I actually
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 18: argue that the San Fransco forty nine Ers may have
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 18: been the third best team in all of the NFL,
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 18: and especially considering all the injuries they had to deal with,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 18: and they did the exact same thing essentially, and that
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 18: they they punted away their opportunity they trade out of
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 18: the first run entirely.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 7: So I think that the NFC West.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 18: In a way almost did the Seahawks a bit of
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 18: a favor, and I was not expecting that. Now, again,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 18: you know s Imman Tysons and they wound up being
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 18: a great player for the Rams. Obviously having you know,
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 18: a successor for Matthew Stafford, it makes a lot of sense.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 18: But yes, I really thought that the Rams had an
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 18: opportunity to narrow the gap between they and the Seahawks.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 18: Ruben Bain, one of my favorite defensive defensive players in
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 18: this entire draft class, was available there, Casey Concepcio, Makai Lemon,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 18: two wide receivers. I think that really could have diversified
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 18: the Rams attack. We know how good Puka Nakua and
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 18: Devonte Adams are for the Rams, but both of them
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 18: struggle with durability, so it would have made some sense
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 18: for the Rams to, you know, just to fortify that
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 18: position rather than you know, building for the future.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 7: So that definitely surprised.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: Me, is that it is safe to say if I mean,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: it seems obvious, but if they would if the Rams
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: would have added Ruby Bayn Junior, the edge rusher and
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: he's paired with Verse Fisk and that terrifying, Yeah, that
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: would have made them better. If they would have added
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Kenyan Sadik, the tied down out of Oregon with how
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay likes to use that tight end. And again
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: Kolbe Parkinson, one of the nicest guys in the world.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: He was just a guy here, looks like a lot
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: more than that in that Rams offense. What would Sadik
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: do in that offense? Well, yeah, or or you mentioned nothing.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: I mean even if Caleb Banks on the defensive line
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: or McCAT Mikaila like, they could have added a lot
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: of guys that would have made them better.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no doubt about it.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 18: And one player that if you're going to roll the dice,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 18: then one player that went a couple of selections later
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 18: that it is truly a roll the dice. But the
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 18: same time, if you hit on him, then it's a
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 18: it's a a lottery winner, and that being Caleb Banks,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 18: a big defensive tackle that went to the Minnesota Vikings
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 18: five picklater. Now, Caleb Banks, I mean, he is a
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 18: guy that was off the field more than he was
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 18: on the field. And I've had some comparisons and scouts
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 18: along the road that you know, said Malik McDowell, And
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 18: there's a reason why mclik McDowell went where he went.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 18: I mean, then we could have anticipated that he was
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 18: going to have the atv accent that he wound up having.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 18: All I know is that on tape he was the biggest,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 18: most powerful, most athletic defensive tackle or among them that
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 18: I've ever seen. And that's what Kayleb Banks is as well.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 18: So again if you hit on him. And the Minnesota
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 18: Vikings are fascinating in because everybody talks about the head coach,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 18: Kevin o'connall and the genius that he is supposedly you know,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 18: and I mean no disrespect, but obviously he let Sam
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 18: Darry leave the room, so there is some question of
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 18: him there. The fact that they also have the highest
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 18: paid defensive coordinator in the history of the NFL, and
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 18: Brian Flores, And to me, this selection screams that Flores
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 18: has an awful lot of pull in Minneapolis because kayleb Banks,
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 18: if you hit on him, could be an absolute superstar,
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 18: and clearly Flores was pulling for him. Otherwise the Vikings
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 18: would not have made the selection of a player that
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 18: most people had in the late second to early third round.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: All right, what else? Who else? Or what else jumped
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: out at you?
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 18: I'd like the aggression of the Kansas City Chiefs going
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 18: up to get Mansord Delaying at number six overall. They
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 18: had the ninth overall selection, and I think that they
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 18: read the board beautifully that there was no way that,
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 18: you know, the best cornerback in all of this draft
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 18: was going to last number nine overall. He would have
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 18: been selected likely by either Washington or New Orleans those
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 18: next two selections. They go up there and they get him. Obviously,
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 18: the Chiefs lost, you know, the former Husky and Trent McDuffie,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 18: we are trade to the Los Angeles Rams, the former
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 18: Cougar and Jalen Watson who signed to the Los Angeles
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 18: Rams and free agency, so they knew that they needed
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 18: a corner and then they come back and get a
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 18: quality defensive tackle in Peter Woods at the late Porsche
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 18: of the first round as well, after a small trade
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 18: down so to me, then I thought that Brett Veach
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 18: and Andy Reid, of course did a terrific job of
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 18: kind of playing the board, reading the reading the tea leap,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 18: so to speak, well, and getting players that are going
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 18: to help them, help Steve Spagnola as a defensive coordinator
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 18: kind of build this defense into the future.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: Let me throw a couple teams at you and get
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on them, just because I think it's important. Like, listen,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: it's look around the NFC. We know there's not always
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: a complete repeat of teams in the postseason, but the
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: Bears appear on the up and come. The Eagles have
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: been good for a while. Let's just talk about those
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: two teams because we're just going through the standings. Outside
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: of the two teams the NFC West that both had
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: one more win than the Bears and the Eagles, they
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: were actually the second and third seeds in the NFC
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: last year season, Chicago and Philadelphia. How they do.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 18: I really like what both of them did, you know
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 18: with Let's go with the Eagles first, because you know,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 18: obviously they are just two years away from their own
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 18: Super Bowl title. And you know it's been much talked
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 18: about the AJ Brown as likely played his last game
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 18: as a member.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 7: Of the Philadelphia Eagles.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 18: So get yourself another wide receiver that Jalen Hurts can trust.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 18: And McKay Lemon is that guy. I mean, he was
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 18: a Blittanikoff Award winner this last year. He is a
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 18: very different type of receiver than AJ Brown. AJ Brown
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 18: six two, two hundred and thirty pounds and just kind
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 18: of rag Doll's cornerbacks. Mackay Lemon is more five ten,
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 18: two hundred pounds, runs me a lot of Golden Tate,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 18: longtime Seahawk, and he is almost like a running back
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 18: after once he gets the ball in his hands, he
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 18: can be a return guy. And his ability to take
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 18: these shorter passes and then either make people miss or
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 18: knock them to the ground and run away from them.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 18: I just think that he plays a very quarterback friendly
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 18: type of style that is going to immediately make him
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 18: a friend of Jalen Hurts. And it felt like at
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 18: times there's almost adversarial between Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 18: So I think that that's a selection that makes sense
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 18: both from just the ex'es and o's, but also through
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 18: the just the intangibles that I think are help championship
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 18: teams you know, actually work, and so that one makes
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 18: a lot of sense for me for the Eagles and
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 18: in the Cleveland and the Chicago Bears. You know, of course,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 18: Seyawk fans know all too well that they paid an
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 18: awful lot of money to bring Kobe Bryant to Soldier Field,
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 18: and they got one of my favorite players in this
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 18: entire draft class in Dylan Thinaman, the safety at number
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 18: twenty five overall, I thought that he was a steal
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 18: at that point in the draft. I think he should
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 18: have been a top twenty selection at worst. You know,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 18: just the ball skills, the instincts, the speed, ran four
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 18: threes at the combine, So just kind of erasing all
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 18: of the criticism people had of him. I think people
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 18: kind of stereotyped him. I mean, the reality is is
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 18: that he's got a lighter complexion than what people are
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 18: expecting out of.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 7: A safety in today's NFL.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 18: And yet I know that he was a playmaker, whether
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 18: it be an Oregon or being a freshman All American
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 18: at Purdue with with six interceptions as a true freshman,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 18: and to me, the guy's an absolute ballhawk. And I
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 18: think the Chicago needs to get a little bit more
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 18: of a pass rush and I think that they're gonna
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 18: likely do that in on date two of the draft here,
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 18: but get the ball hawking safety first. Just because that's
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 18: the way the board played out. I would argue the
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 18: edge rusher was a bigger area of concern, but again,
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 18: the depth at edge allowed the Bears to take advantage
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 18: of a star safety fall into their lap.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: That's rob rang, all right, we'll tune your loose. You've
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: got to do four hours and twenty eighteen minutes or so.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 18: I'm looking at like Washington. I got a fish and
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 18: pull in the back of the car.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you go do that. You got no you
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: got work to do, buddy. You got a second and
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: third round to be great. And I'm watching Robb yesterday
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: as the first round is going, He's like he's firing
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: stuff out every how'd you like the shorter time? You
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: didn't like it?
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 18: I did not like it made for great TV. I
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 18: mean it was NonStop drama. I love the entertainment aspect
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 18: of it. Ly, someone that had to write a story
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 18: for Fox dot com. Yeah, I mean wanting to be
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 18: a you know, somewhat articulate with you and Hugh last
• 1:46:59

• 1:47:04
  Speaker 18: and grading each pick in eight minutes. That it was difficult,
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 18: but it was you know, I'm at my fighting wait,
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 18: so I was ready for.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're ready for.
• 1:47:11

• 1:47:22

  Speaker 1: Price, Yes, yes, Yes, that's that's the guy. We're gonna
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 1: hear from it in a second. Uh, just real quick thoughts
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: from you on on the pick yesterday.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 6: Well, I went and watched every single snap, or excuse me,
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 6: every single carry, every single touch, every time they threw
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 6: him the wall for the entire season, and there's a
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 6: lot to like on the tape. The dude's his his
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 6: lateral quickness. That that's his best attribute in my opinion.
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 6: His acceleration important is that for running back, it's almost
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 6: the most important thing. I mean, I think there's probably
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 6: a few like you know, one a's, one b's type
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 6: of thing. But your vision. You got to have a
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 6: sense of where the defense is flowing and where the
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 6: seams are opening up, but then as defenders flash on you,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: you know, your body's going in a certain direction. Right,
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 6: Like let's say, you know, take an analog clock. You're
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 6: starting in the middle of an analog clock. Let's just
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 6: make this real simple. You're going straight north, you're at
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 6: You're going to twelve. That's where you think the hole
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 6: is going to go. But then then your vision says
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 6: it's at one or maybe one thirty or whatever. Can't
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 6: how quickly do you do you sense that your brain
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 6: is obviously processing what it sees, and then how fast
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 6: does that get to your feet? And can your feet
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 6: then you know, without having to slow down take a
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 6: lot of steps. Can you just quickly just change your
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 6: body's direction from going to twelve o'clock to one or
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 6: one thirty so that ability to control and then sometimes
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 6: you go, it's twelve o'clock and then it's one o'clock
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 6: or it might even be two. Like you're almost going straight sideways,
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 6: and then now you've got to go back to twelve o'clock.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 6: From from that originally, you know, you're almost making the
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 6: I'm trying.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: To think of a letter.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 6: It's not a letter, it's like like like a Charger's
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 6: lightning bolt. You know, if you can think of the
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 6: emblem on the chargers helmet like you got to run
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 6: like that, and guys who can do that, you know,
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 6: that's that's as good a skill set as any.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that that's that. That was the latter movement.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 7: What else the ladder?
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 6: I think the acceleration. You know, his his percentiles in
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 6: the in the ten yard split, we we're kind of
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 6: lower half. He has a one point sixty one I
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 6: believe was the twenty eighth percentile. That's not what the
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 6: tape shows. And so I saw a better acceleration. I
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 6: saw his ability to cut back without having to slow down.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 6: There's a there's maybe one or two times where I
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 6: would have given him a minus on on slowing down
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 6: and taking too long to get where.
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 7: He needed to go.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 6: The vast majority of the time, when he saw where
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 6: he needed to go, it's just one cut and and
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 6: and uh and and there's a great change of direction.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 6: He's not not a terribly physical guy, you know, the
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 6: finish part of it. You know, he waged two or
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 6: three at the combine. He said he played at two five,
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 6: two eight. All those numbers are a little below the median,
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 6: but the that lateral quickness and the explosiveness is you know,
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 6: it's a fun tape to watch him.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: So I mean, and I mean, we're excited because we
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: have him on the air right now. Let's let's introduce
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: him properly. Go ahead, Anders with.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 16: The thirty second big In the twenty twenty six NFL Draft,
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 16: the Seattle Seahawks select.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 4: Jadarian Price, Notre Dame running.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: Back and obviously very exciting day for Jadarian Price, for
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: his family and for Seahawks fans as well. And he
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: joined us right now on the Beacon Plumbing hot line.
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: J This is ian Fanaca KJR along with former NFL
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: quarterback Hugh Millen, who's with me as well. How are
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: you doing today on the day after you become a
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: first round draft pick by the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. Okay, yes, sir,
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: how you how you feeling wild?
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 16: I'm feeling good.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: What walk us through yesterday? A little bit? The phone
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: call from John Schneider, the emotions you went through and
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: everything that took place yesterday.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 16: Yeah, so just just moments before the call, I was
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 16: still walking around, like you know, anxious about what was
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 16: going to happen next, whether they going to keep the
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 16: pick or whatever was going to happen. I brought it
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 16: to myself to just, you know, sit down and relax.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 16: And as I was going to the couch, my phone
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 16: started ringing, and I'm just like, oh, it's that time.
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 16: And when snarre you know, answer the phone, it was
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 16: just I'll just rushed for emotions immediately.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: You're your why was well talked about last night? We
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: were here with listening to your conference call and when
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: you called into all of us here in the media
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. And before I turn it over to my
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: ex NFL quarterback here, Hugh Milan, who's gonna throw some
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: x's and o's at you and some football stuff that's
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: way over my acumen, sir, A couple of things jumped out.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: One is they talked about loyalty to John Schneider and
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald yesterday. We live in a world now, as
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: you well know that the world of nil, and young
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: men can get paid and compensated for playing football at
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: the highest level. Oftentimes they go and get more money
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 1: or they look for more playing time. You're at a
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: school like Notre Dame, incredible academic institution, You don't get
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: in there just because you're a good football player. We
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: know that, we heard from your high school coach today,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: but you also stuck around and maybe as a backup.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: We're sharing some time with a guy that was a
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: number three pick in the in the NFL draft. That
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen, That just flat out doesn't happen anymore in
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: today's football. Why did you stick around Notre Dame? What
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: is it that kept you there as opposed to going
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: somewhere else where you could have been the lead back
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: and there would have been no question about going in
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: the first round.
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 16: Yeah, there was many factors, one being I committed to
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 16: the University of Notre Dame and it's the best place
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 16: I could be, and it made me a better player,
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 16: a better person, and and then and grateful for you
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 16: know what Notre Dame has has given me. I wanted
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 16: to finish my degree, I graduate Notre Dame, and I
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 16: wanted to come back with those guys in a Peteford
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 16: National championship like we did the year before. But also
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 16: I made, you know, challenge to myself to do just
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 16: as good and produce just as much as the best
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 16: player in college football. And I trusted my was saying,
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 16: even though I had a lot of people in my ears,
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 16: they're saying I should do one thing or another. But
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 16: I trusted my gut and I'm here today.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: Jadari.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 6: In price with this, Jadari, and take us into whether
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 6: it's your meeting room or on the sideline during the games,
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 6: or or what have it, there must have been some
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 6: component where you and Jeremiah were challenging each other, whether
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 6: it's competing for reps or or some like maybe it's
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 6: a friendly you know, like like, hey, I can get
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 6: more out of this stretch than you can get, you know,
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 6: like like just kind of tell us the nature of
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 6: that very unique competition.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 7: You two have.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 16: When you mentioned it, brings me back to uh. I
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 16: think it was the third game of the season. I
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 16: had four touchdowns against Purdue, and we were challenging ourselves.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 16: I think we had we had six total touchdowns out
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 16: of the running back room, like, all right, when we
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 16: go against Arkansas the next week, it's gotta be more
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 16: and going. And we had another running back, so we
• 1:55:48
  Speaker 16: had seven and then we were just like, all right,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 16: we gotta keep this going.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 10: You don't.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 16: It's not very often you score seven touchdowns from from
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 16: one position group every other game. But you know, we
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 16: made a challenge ourselves to be the best running back
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 16: duo in the country and ultimately the you know, the
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 16: greatest running backs come through there, Dame, And that came
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 16: with our work. I think the time we spent in
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 16: the training room or the the meeting room and the
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 16: weight room with recovery stuff like that. But also when
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 16: one one person going on the field at the time,
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 16: the other guys just watching him closely and you know,
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 16: figuring out ways to give the other guy tips and stuff.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 16: You know, we were never hiding away like you know,
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 16: ways to get better and learn the game.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 6: So yeah, Jedari in price with us again and and yeah,
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 6: I saw that swing route. You took the swing screen
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 6: against Arkansas. You cut back, took it to the house
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 6: from about midfield. But and that in fact, uh that
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 6: that was one of the plays. After we drafted you,
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 6: Jedari and I went back and watched the game. The
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 6: coaches tape all one hundred and thirteen of your carries
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 6: and all seven times that they threw to you. So
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 6: I've got a good mental image of of what you
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 6: put on tape. And first of all, it's a fun
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 6: tape to watch. You're a beautiful football player, and on
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 6: behalf of the twelves were delighted that you're a Seahawk. Okay,
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 6: so it's a fun tape. I want to ask you
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 6: an x is and no question because you said last
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 6: night your bread and butter is the outside zone, which,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 6: as you know, as the Seahawks bread and butter.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 7: Right at the.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 6: Beginning of the season, you were running at some of
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 6: that from pistol, you know, never from under center with
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 6: a quarterback shotgun.
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: So you had some pistol.
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 6: But then most of the season you were off set,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 6: so if you were going stretch right, you were aligned
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 6: to the quarterback's left, kind of in the b gap
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 6: off a left guard, you know, the outside leg of
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 6: the guard. Tell us how that changes in your mind,
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 6: the difference between being in the dot right behind the
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 6: quarterback versus you have so many reps where you were
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 6: off set, you're going stretch right, but you line up
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 6: to the left. Tell us how that changes your reads
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 6: and how you fact that may change when you go
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 6: to the sea arks and you're behind the center.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 16: Yeah, we realized, you know, whether we're in gun or
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 16: in a pistol you know, just based off of the
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 16: stats still out the season, sometimes it was better to
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 16: be and the coaches mindset it was, you know, Pistol
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 16: short yards, but in my mind, honestly, I'd rather be
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 16: in Gun for the short yards situations. But in my
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 16: mind also from Gun, it's a little bit more of
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 16: a stretch and you're kind of forced to hit the
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 16: outside or sea gap. But when you're for Pistol, you
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 16: can kind of see the whole picture and you can
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 16: easily see the backside as well, so you know, when
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 16: those double teams happen, they double team all the way
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 16: up to the linebackers, you can easily have a cutback
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 16: or no cut at all, which my old runs back
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 16: coach used to say is the best cut. But yeah,
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 16: I love both of them. You know, whether it was
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 16: Gun or Pistol. And you know, what we did from Pistol,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 16: it's definitely going to translate to the NFL what they
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 16: do under center, and you got things off.
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 10: Of that with like the no.
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 16: The RPO stuff that we did in college and stuff
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 16: like that, and the play action stuff. It definitely would translate.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: Jidarian Price joining a Seahawk first round pick thirty second
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: overall out of Notre Dame. I want to go back
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: to growing up. We heard from the show before me today,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: Greg Bell. He's a Seahawk beat writer for one of
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: the local papers and news tributning. He was talking to
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: your high school coach from I think it was from
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: your last year. He only coached you the one year.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: He said he got handed an escalade for his first
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: year coaching there in Dennison. But he talked about what
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: you listen for people that know the story of your mother.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: I was diagnosed with breast cancer in twenty sixteen, went
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: through chemotherapy of two younger sisters and and you kind
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: of became the head of the household. You took control
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 1: of everything at a very young age. And he said,
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: you never complained about it. You never asked for anything special.
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: You just you went about your business. I'll ask you this,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: your mom and your sisters, and what does your mom
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: mean to you? Because she obviously instilled something in you
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: that's that's different, it's different level and taking care of
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 1: her is one thing, but just the fact that you
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: took it upon yourself to do that. So what does
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: she mean to you? And what did last night mean
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: to her? From you as well.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 16: Yeah, she means everything to me, and I think the
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 16: ultimate thing is watching her go through breast cancer and
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 16: overcome that. It really made me feel like nothing that
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 16: came at me, adversity wise, was gonna defeat me. And
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 16: she can go through something like that life threatening, then
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 16: I can go through anything, you know, whether it's an
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 16: injury or a little setback or miss Simon, if almost anything,
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 16: there's always a way to get over it and just
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 16: think it back to my mom and using that as motivation,
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 16: like it could always be worse. And just the fact
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 16: that I'm in this position that I am now to
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 16: you know, change other people's lives. I'm going to do
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 16: everything in my ability to be the best I can
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 16: out there on the field.
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: You can also change her life automatically as a first
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: round draft pick in the NFL. I know you know that.
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: Uh what about your sister? What about your sisters? Because
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: I assume that the four of you are pretty night
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: close knit family.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 16: Yeah, my two younger sisters. You know, we're all pretty
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 16: close in age, so we'll fussing the fight growing up.
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 16: But uh, you know, as we've matured on and and
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 16: you know, thankfully you know, hopefully I was a role
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 16: model to them, and they tell me every day how
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 16: proud they are of me. And I like to give
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 16: them some messages that I get from my coaches, and
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 16: that's just the type of person I am. I like
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 16: to use those those football and tea meeting messages is
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 16: to relay them onto them. And you know, just life
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 16: is hard, and but if you just keep finding your
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 16: wives and the reasons for living and keep your purpose
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 16: in God and everything and be all right. And they
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 16: remind me all the time.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's wonderful.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 6: Jadari and Price with this and Jadari and those experiences,
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 6: you know that they prepare you for the challenges. One
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 6: of the challenges you're going to have in the eyes
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 6: of the Seahawk fans here the twelves, is they're looking
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 6: at you, say, Okay, he was the backup to Jeremiah
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 6: Love in college. But now as you know, Kenneth Walker
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 6: as a chief the Super Bowl MVP, and you've got
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 6: Zach Sharbonnet he's hurt for half the year. You go
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 6: from running back number two in college to running back
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 6: number one for the Super Bowl Champions. Is that a
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 6: thought that's kind of hit you. I know, you're ready
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 6: for the challenge, but just kind of tell us what
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 6: your mindset is to be able to graduate that step
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 6: in that challenge.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 16: Well, my mindset, personally, it is just a Nika be
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 16: ready for anything and go into the locker room and
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 16: compete like I'm an undrafted free agent, you know, that's
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 16: my mindset. I always have a chick on my shoulder.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 16: I didn't even see myself going first round, and I
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 16: did it. And that just goes to show all the
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 16: hard work I put in and in the production that
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 16: I showed on the field the past three years. And
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 16: it's only going to get even better. I can feel
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 16: myself getting better, my bodies, I'm healthy, I understand my
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 16: body more now, and my habits are getting better. So
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 16: I'm prepared to be you know, bag if I need to,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 16: and returning especially if I need to. But I just
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 16: want to be out there on the field and play
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 16: football again.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: We you talked about adversity a second ago, and and
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 1: you have a former teammate that had to go through
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: that last year. He was drafted Riley Mills by Seattle.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: He's a Day three pick, and I remember Seattle talking
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: about him and McDonald and Schneider came in here, remember you,
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 1: and they talked about, Hey, he's coming off any injury.
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: We're willing to wake because we think this guy is special.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: Lo and behold he I don't know, I've got a
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: sack in the Super Bowl that worked? Uh yeah, yeah,
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 1: worth that was worth the Wait? What if I have
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: you talked to Riley much at all? And what has
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 1: he told you about coming out here?
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 16: I haven't much, but I was definitely tuned in on
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 16: the bow and seeing a former teammate, former teammate, former
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 16: captain do what he did. You know, it was it
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 16: was unbelievable. It was, you know, emotion in a moment,
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 16: but proud of him and I can't wait to be
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 16: teammates with him again.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: I got a bit, I got a piggyback on this. This
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: he's a well spoken man. Let's let's ask you as
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: an analyst. We only saw a glimpse of Riley Mills.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: What what are we gonna see next year from him
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: when he's healthy?
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 10: Ah? Man, that.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 16: One of the strongest and fermous guys I've ever I mean,
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 16: the amount of times that dude caught me with one
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 16: arm going through a gap and practice in fall camp.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 16: It's it's unbelieve. It gives me nightmares. But no, he's
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 16: a he's a great player and I can't wait to
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 16: see him back healthy.
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's great.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 6: Well, we're gonna continuing your role as an analyst. Okay,
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 6: I want you to analyze yourself, Jedar in and so,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 6: so the question would be this, you got to answer.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 6: It's in two parts.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: You got to say.
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 6: We're gonna give you permission to go third person Jedarianer.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 6: Price is a first rounder because his best skill is
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 6: blank and then uh comma. But Jadarion Price most in
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 6: the needs to work in his game on this aspect.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 6: So you get you get two shots out that. I
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 6: know you're notre dame and educated and smart, so you
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 6: can handle a two parter. But go ahead and be
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 6: an analyst and fill in those questions.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 16: Yeah. Jadaron Price is a fresh round running back because
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 16: of his ability to make plays on the field and
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 16: whether it's offense or special teams. And he's a home
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 16: run hitter or he's got home run speed. He knows
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 16: how to get to the second level and make guys miss.
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 16: Almost every time he gets the ball, he makes someone missed.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 16: And his teammate er My Love is a phenomenal player,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 16: but Price being able to do what he did on
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 16: that level with with that caliber of a players is
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 16: h as special and Jadaron Price is going to do
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 16: special things in the NFL when he gets his opportunity.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 1: What do you need to work on?
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's half you're halfway home.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 7: That was great.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 6: You just bought that stretch up the sideline for like
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 6: forty yards.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: That was that was awesome. But now you got to
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 1: cut back into the middle of the field.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 6: So what's what's what's the what's the Jared Aarron Price
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 6: has to work on?
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 7: Go ahead and finish it out.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 16: One thing that he needs to work on is just
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 16: continue to be consistent in the past game pass protection
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 16: protecting a quarterback. That's a huge thing, and he's done.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 16: He's showed great skill in doing that. He has plenty
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 16: of film out there where he show a good fighting,
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 16: good technique and he does it pretty well. But just
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 16: consistently being able to protect the quarterback and being a
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 16: reliable source out of the backfield.
• 2:06:44
