Chuck & Buck 4-14 Hour 3: Stocking Stuffers, Everett Fitzhugh and is it time for a change? · Chuck in the Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Draft right here on this eight o'clock segment on a Tuesday,
0:03
Speaker 1: just nine sleeps away, nine magical sleeps away from NFL
0:09
Speaker 1: Draft Day, and so our draft miss holiday does continue
0:12
Speaker 1: right here on Chucking Buck in the Morning. Ashley Ryan
0:15
Speaker 1: is here. My name is Chuck Powell. Bucky is out
0:18
Speaker 1: again today, and we've got a full fat segment of
0:22
Speaker 1: NFL Draft rumors there we're going to get to because
0:25
Speaker 1: they're heating up. Now, Oh, they are heating up.
0:28
Speaker 2: That's what's actually making this fire go. That's what's roasting
0:31
Speaker 2: these chestnut You're.
0:32
Speaker 1: Right, you're right, it's what feeds the fire every single rumor,
0:36
Speaker 1: because after we take the rumors out of the stockings,
0:40
Speaker 1: then we just throw the paper right into the fire
0:43
Speaker 1: and both the mushroom cloud. That's right, you know. Yeah,
0:51
Speaker 1: all right, so let's get into it. Actually, let me
0:54
Speaker 1: mention this first because we do have a little college
0:57
Speaker 1: basketball breaking news. I know a lot of people are
0:59
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on that college basketball transfer portal and Washington.
1:04
Speaker 1: The headline isn't who they added, it's who they lost.
1:06
Speaker 1: JJ Mandiquit is going to Arizona. So Arizona landed him
1:12
Speaker 1: and Derek Dixon out of North Carolina to their backcourt today.
1:18
Speaker 1: No surprise, Arizona's doing well in recruiting both out of
1:22
Speaker 1: high school and on the transfer portal. I had a
1:25
Speaker 1: feeling they were going to be good at that, and
1:27
Speaker 1: so there you go. They'll just reload, as you know.
1:30
Speaker 1: So there's the breaking news here this morning. Let's get
1:32
Speaker 1: into some of these draft rumors, and let's start with
1:35
Speaker 1: the latest thing that just came across my desk. This
1:38
Speaker 1: according to Albert Breer this morning of Sports Illustrated and
1:41
Speaker 1: many other you know platforms. He is saying that now
1:46
Speaker 1: that we are nine sleeps away from the NFL Draft,
1:49
Speaker 1: some of the strategies are starting to be revealed by
1:54
Speaker 1: NFL teams. They sat around, you know, you sit around
1:58
Speaker 1: for months and you wait, you wait, you wait for
2:00
Speaker 1: somebody to call you. Well, it sounds like those that
2:03
Speaker 1: were wanting to be called have decided to do some
2:06
Speaker 1: calling around. Breer lists the following teams in the top
2:11
Speaker 1: ten as those that are looking to get out of
2:15
Speaker 1: their current draft position. The Arizona Cardinals at three, the
2:19
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans at four, the New York Giants at five,
2:22
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns at six, and the Washington Commanders at seven.
2:26
Speaker 1: That's right, Picks three through seven, all teams don't want
2:31
Speaker 1: to draft where they are more evidence that perhaps this
2:34
Speaker 1: is not the greatest draft. And yet why are you
2:37
Speaker 1: trying to get more picks? Maybe they just don't think
2:40
Speaker 1: that it's worth the juice, is worth the squeeze at
2:45
Speaker 1: three considering the money you've got to pay. And I'm
2:48
Speaker 1: sure they're not looking to drop to the bottom of
2:50
Speaker 1: the draft. They're probably trying to get some more Day
2:52
Speaker 1: two picks in their butt. The Cardinals, Titans, Giants, Browns,
2:56
Speaker 1: and Commanders, according to Albert Breer just this morning, are
2:59
Speaker 1: all looking to get out of the top ten and
3:02
Speaker 1: add more picks. And so take that for what it's worth.
3:05
Speaker 1: A lot of these rumors, this is part of the
3:08
Speaker 1: draft miss holiday. They're not worth it much. But there's
3:14
Speaker 1: there's one of those nuggets is true. I can promise
3:17
Speaker 1: you that. And according to Breer, who's not exactly a
3:19
Speaker 1: loose source there, he's saying, they're all looking to get
3:22
Speaker 1: out of the top seven.
3:23
Speaker 2: Well, and if they're all looking, then that's bad for anyone,
3:26
Speaker 2: for all of them, because then there's a lot of yeah,
3:29
Speaker 2: that gives everybody else a lot to work with to
3:31
Speaker 2: try to trade up.
3:32
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. I mean I'm sure that they
3:34
Speaker 1: all it wasn't a coordinated effort.
3:36
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm just saying, Oh, that would be.
3:38
Speaker 1: Bad, all of that information to get out there all
3:40
Speaker 1: at once. Ah, damn it, damn it.
3:42
Speaker 3: Bre Oh, come on, we're supposed to save ours till
3:45
Speaker 3: next week.
3:46
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the Seahawks. They're sitting there
3:48
Speaker 1: at number thirty two. Rob rang was on with us
3:51
Speaker 1: about an hour ago. He is expecting, like the rest
3:54
Speaker 1: of us, the Seahawks do trade down from the thirty
3:56
Speaker 1: second pick overall, but he also urged as set seven
4:00
Speaker 1: five or urged, the Seahawks do not mess around with
4:04
Speaker 1: this running back position, even though there is some depth there.
4:08
Speaker 1: He believes that the second wave of running backs, which
4:11
Speaker 1: is pretty much anyone not named Jeremiah Love, the second
4:16
Speaker 1: wave of running backs is something to capitalize on. He's
4:19
Speaker 1: a big fan of Jendarian Price out of Notre Dame,
4:22
Speaker 1: but he actually likes another player as a better fit
4:26
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks and thinks that you need to grab
4:29
Speaker 1: this guy sooner than later.
4:32
Speaker 4: I think that, you know, having evaluated John Scheider in
4:35
Speaker 4: the way he attacks drafts now for twenty years. Basically,
4:38
Speaker 4: I think that Mike Washington Junior is going to be
4:42
Speaker 4: somebody that that Schnider is going to be absolutely smitten with.
4:45
Speaker 4: And I recognize the fumble issues, and he had seven
4:48
Speaker 4: fumbles that he or seven times he put the ball
4:51
Speaker 4: on the ground, only lost a couple of them, but
4:54
Speaker 4: still seven fumbles over the last couple of seasons and
4:57
Speaker 4: bounced around different colleges. But at the same time, you're
5:00
Speaker 4: there's shades of Adrian Peterson. When you see this guy
5:02
Speaker 4: at sixty one two hundred and twenty five pounds running
5:05
Speaker 4: in the four threes, it's just easy to get excited
5:08
Speaker 4: about the explosive element that he would provide. I think
5:12
Speaker 4: that frankly, he would be a better a better tandem
5:17
Speaker 4: with George Hallane while you wait for Zach Charboney and
5:21
Speaker 4: Kenny McIntosh et cetera, et cetera to get back onto
5:23
Speaker 4: the field for you. Then even Jaderim Price, who I
5:26
Speaker 4: think has a little bit of a similarities. Uh So
5:29
Speaker 4: it might be a little bit redundant to a player
5:32
Speaker 4: like a George Halaaney who you know, Schnyder and Mike
5:34
Speaker 4: McDonald are both unprompted mentioned many times. So I do
5:37
Speaker 4: think that Halani is playing a significant role in this.
5:40
Speaker 4: So I I think if there's good depth as far
5:44
Speaker 4: as a couple of the other backs, I think that
5:45
Speaker 4: you could get Jonah Coleman from University of Washington's another
5:49
Speaker 4: player I'm very high on. Think he's a third round
5:51
Speaker 4: selection all day long. Emmitt Johnson from Nebraska. But after that,
5:55
Speaker 4: Chuck to me, I said a moment ago a good depth,
5:58
Speaker 4: I was, I's a missent saying that I think that
6:01
Speaker 4: it falls off a cliff a little bit, and everybody
6:03
Speaker 4: else you're gonna be fighting on day three. They're gonna
6:06
Speaker 4: be kind of rotational backs rather than a guy who
6:08
Speaker 4: could be the bell cow if you need one.
6:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rob reiterating that he thinks that the Seahawks shouldn't
6:14
Speaker 1: mess around with this, that at some point on day
6:16
Speaker 1: number two, second third round, go ahead and grab your
6:19
Speaker 1: favorite running back on the board, especially considering the need
6:24
Speaker 1: that they have. I tell you, though, it's a groundswell.
6:26
Speaker 5: It's a groundswell.
6:28
Speaker 1: Everybody seems to be jumping on this Mike Washington Junior
6:31
Speaker 1: bandwagon a lot right now and for sure on the
6:35
Speaker 1: first one to serve. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, we're seeing it.
6:39
Speaker 1: I think Brady Henderson said it, well, he's heard Hugh
6:42
Speaker 1: say it last Monday, and now he got Rob ring
6:45
Speaker 1: on the Mike Washington Junior to the Seahawks a train.
6:49
Speaker 1: Just don't know if John Schneider and Mike McDonald are
6:52
Speaker 1: on that train. But I mean, look, this is a
6:55
Speaker 1: guy that has had fumble issues. It's not like he
6:57
Speaker 1: dominated the college. I'll tell you what made me perk up.
7:01
Speaker 1: And I'm just watching highlights of the dude. I see
7:04
Speaker 1: him running. I don't even realize who it is. I'm
7:08
Speaker 1: trying to figure out even the red uniform based off
7:11
Speaker 1: of the video that I'm seeing in the background, and
7:13
Speaker 1: I'm like, is that Alabama?
7:15
Speaker 3: That Arkansas?
7:16
Speaker 1: You know? And then once I actually got a chance
7:19
Speaker 1: to like zone in on it, I figured out the
7:22
Speaker 1: team player everything else. But I just saw the moves
7:28
Speaker 1: that he made. That's all I could see from my
7:30
Speaker 1: vantage point with my television when they started airing that
7:33
Speaker 1: high like package. Just saw the way that he moved.
7:36
Speaker 1: And even though he's bigger than ken Walker, he moves
7:40
Speaker 1: in the open field like ken Walker. And I know
7:43
Speaker 1: how John is with his doppel gaming. He loves finding
7:46
Speaker 1: guys that were successful with him and finding their body
7:51
Speaker 1: doubles and the way that they play and the way
7:53
Speaker 1: that they move. Jordan books Brooks was drafted because he
7:56
Speaker 1: reminded John of Bobby Wagner. You know that he does it. Yeah,
8:01
Speaker 1: he does it all the time. And sometimes they don't
8:05
Speaker 1: even have to be a runaway success like Bobby Wagner was.
8:08
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like, that's the type of running back that
8:10
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. And even though ken Walker wasn't everything
8:13
Speaker 1: that we wanted him to be, we still to this
8:16
Speaker 1: day believe in his talent. He's everything. He is everything
8:20
Speaker 1: that we were considering that he'd be when we drafted him. Like,
8:26
Speaker 1: that's the type of running back that we need for
8:28
Speaker 1: this system. We need a home run threat, We need
8:30
Speaker 1: somebody to make moves in the open field. And Mike
8:33
Speaker 1: Washington Junior, to me, in the open field, had that
8:36
Speaker 1: shiftiness that Walker has once he gets past that first
8:40
Speaker 1: line of defense. And so that's what stood out to
8:45
Speaker 1: me and that's why I jumped immediately on the Mike
8:47
Speaker 1: Washington Junior bandwagon. Then you watch him play at the
8:50
Speaker 1: or participate in the NFL combine, you realize, Oh geez,
8:54
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that he was that fast. I mean
8:57
Speaker 1: he's Walker fast with more weight, a lot more weight
9:02
Speaker 1: and size to him as well. So I mean one
9:06
Speaker 1: thing one plus one does not always equal to But
9:09
Speaker 1: that's what got me going on Mike Washington Junior in
9:12
Speaker 1: the first place. Is man, that guy moves like Walker
9:15
Speaker 1: in the open field. And if he they can convince
9:19
Speaker 1: him to do some of the things that Canine wouldn't do,
9:22
Speaker 1: which is take what the defense has given you, which
9:26
Speaker 1: was a big issue for Mike McDonald and for John
9:29
Speaker 1: Schneider trying to get ken Walker to that point. And
9:33
Speaker 1: they can get him to do it sooner than his
9:35
Speaker 1: fourth year in the playoffs, then maybe they could have
9:40
Speaker 1: that ken Walker type running back and not have to
9:43
Speaker 1: skip a beat. So I've been on this guy from
9:46
Speaker 1: jump and it's great. It's actually great to hear guys
9:50
Speaker 1: that I respect and admire, like Hugh and Rob and
9:53
Speaker 1: many others, Brady, many others who seem to be on
9:57
Speaker 1: the Mike Washington Junior train as well.
9:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard his name a lot, and it is
10:02
Speaker 2: I have not watched him play any more than seeing
10:04
Speaker 2: a couple of highlights here and there, but I trust
10:07
Speaker 2: John for sure that if that's what the type of
10:09
Speaker 2: running back he's looking for, sign me up.
10:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we shall see. But yes, Mike Washington Junior
10:16
Speaker 1: is certainly a name. I think all seah Ok fans
10:18
Speaker 1: know the name by now as well and are monitoring
10:21
Speaker 1: that as we get closer to the draft. All right,
10:24
Speaker 1: let's talk about Denzel Boston. Who. There's now this website,
10:30
Speaker 1: and I'm glad that it exists, and frankly I haven't
10:32
Speaker 1: been using it enough and putting together the Draft miss catalog.
10:35
Speaker 1: But it is a consensus. It's an industry consensus big board.
10:38
Speaker 1: And so what it does it combines all the rankings
10:41
Speaker 1: of all of the major draft publications and then gives
10:45
Speaker 1: you a feed as to who, on average are the
10:50
Speaker 1: top rated players. For example, Fernando Menzosa is number one.
10:54
Speaker 2: R L.
10:54
Speaker 1: Reese's number two, Jeremiah Love is number three. Well, Denzel
10:59
Speaker 1: Boston and is at number twenty nine right now. And
11:03
Speaker 1: of course, the UW product has been expected to be
11:06
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick this entire time, and yet
11:10
Speaker 1: now there might be a little bit of doubt. I mean,
11:13
Speaker 1: you have thirty two picks in the first round. Maybe
11:15
Speaker 1: he does slip past the first round, maybe he slips
11:17
Speaker 1: to thirty two. Rob also pointed out that if he
11:20
Speaker 1: went that far, he feels, despite all the capital that
11:24
Speaker 1: they have invested in their wide receiver group, that the
11:27
Speaker 1: Seahawks would have to be interested a little bit, have
11:30
Speaker 1: to kick the tires on Denzel Boston. I don't think
11:33
Speaker 1: that they should or would, but I would just say
11:39
Speaker 1: this because we talked about it in our wide receiver segment.
11:42
Speaker 1: You know, even despite all that money that has been
11:46
Speaker 1: spent on wide receivers right now with this team, you know,
11:52
Speaker 1: they still don't have a Denzel Boston type. And Hughes
11:56
Speaker 1: talked about this in the past and I've stolen from it.
12:00
Speaker 1: You want your wide receivers to be like a basketball
12:02
Speaker 1: starting five. You kind of want little point guard, kind
12:05
Speaker 1: of want to power guy, power forward, kind of want
12:08
Speaker 1: a long, fast guy. You kind of want a couple
12:11
Speaker 1: of wings. You know, you sort of want that dimension,
12:15
Speaker 1: that multi dimension out there in your passing routes. And
12:20
Speaker 1: there's not a Denzel Boston type. We've got a JSN type,
12:24
Speaker 1: which is really kind of a Cooper Cup type. And
12:27
Speaker 1: then you've got like a speedier version of those two
12:30
Speaker 1: in Rashid Shahed. But where's that long? I mean a
12:33
Speaker 1: year ago, we're talking about where's the guy that can
12:36
Speaker 1: take the top off of the defense. I don't think
12:38
Speaker 1: we're as worried about that as much anymore, after seeing
12:41
Speaker 1: JSN pretty much do anything he wanted on a football
12:44
Speaker 1: field this past year. And I don't know if Tory Horton,
12:49
Speaker 1: you know, the idea is so and plus we got
12:51
Speaker 1: Rashid Shahed and we've got Tory Horton that showed a
12:54
Speaker 1: little bit of that ability as well, so we don't
12:57
Speaker 1: have to me that issue this offset. But where's that
13:02
Speaker 1: guy that goes up above the defense, not behind the defense,
13:07
Speaker 1: above the defense? And that's something that Denzel Boston could
13:10
Speaker 1: give you. I still don't think it's worth spending one
13:13
Speaker 1: of your top draft picks on. I think we've spent
13:16
Speaker 1: enough of our finances on wide receivers. And I don't
13:20
Speaker 1: think it is a whole a weakness anything. I think
13:23
Speaker 1: that it is an absolute strength of this football team.
13:26
Speaker 1: So I'm not doing it. But I do get his point.
13:28
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes value is value, and you probably could
13:32
Speaker 1: justify taking a Denzel Boston if he's still sitting there
13:36
Speaker 1: at number thirty two on the board.
13:37
Speaker 3: I yeah, I was surprised when Rob brought that up.
13:40
Speaker 2: But I again, you know, when when you're dealing with
13:43
Speaker 2: the Seahawks or with most NFL teams, Yeah, they're looking
13:45
Speaker 2: at the best player available.
13:46
Speaker 3: But I would be surprised if that's where they went coreat.
13:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they say they look for the best player available.
13:51
Speaker 1: They never look for the best player available. It is
13:54
Speaker 1: the best player available that meets your immediate needs. I mean,
13:58
Speaker 1: sometimes you can get to the point that you are
14:01
Speaker 1: so good, so successful, so deep, and I know that
14:04
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have been there before and maybe they're there
14:06
Speaker 1: now that you can just flaunt it like we don't
14:10
Speaker 1: have any holes. We're just taking the best player available.
14:12
Speaker 1: But most of the time that doesn't happen. Yeah, most
14:14
Speaker 1: of the time it doesn't happen, all right, And it's
14:17
Speaker 1: not just holes this year, You also are reading out
14:20
Speaker 1: with the holes that you're going to have the following
14:22
Speaker 1: year and maybe the year after that. After all, these
14:25
Speaker 1: players that you draft next week are going to be
14:28
Speaker 1: part of your plan for the next at least four
14:30
Speaker 1: seasons going forward. Another rumor, man this guy has been
14:35
Speaker 1: all over the board here throughout this process. Carnel Tait,
14:40
Speaker 1: he is the fastest riser now in the entire process.
14:44
Speaker 1: And it's funny because he was the fastest dropper after
14:48
Speaker 1: the NFL combine. He didn't run as fast as a
14:50
Speaker 1: forty as what people expected him to. There was an
14:54
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter controversy. That's what started the Mike Florio Adam
14:59
Speaker 1: Schefter fistf on Twitter over whether or not those were
15:03
Speaker 1: even accurate numbers that were being spread about Carnell Tait.
15:08
Speaker 1: And so he started to plummet a little bit and
15:11
Speaker 1: now forty gate, Yeah, and now all of a sudden
15:14
Speaker 1: he's just rising way up the board again. I mean
15:20
Speaker 1: pretty much. You just google NFL trade rumors or excuse me,
15:23
Speaker 1: draft rumors, and you're gonna see Carnell Tait's name mentioned
15:27
Speaker 1: repeatedly yesterday in stocking stuffers. We put them all the
15:30
Speaker 1: way up to seventh in the draft because that was
15:33
Speaker 1: a Daniel Jeremiah trade that was floated out yesterday and
15:37
Speaker 1: his latest mock and worth noting again, usually at this stage,
15:42
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah is still not assessing players. I mean, he's
15:46
Speaker 1: done all of his homework, all of his research, He
15:48
Speaker 1: has his big board, he has his evaluations done. If
15:51
Speaker 1: they start changing stuff at this point, nine sleeps away
15:55
Speaker 1: from the NFL draft, they're changing it because they've heard something,
16:00
Speaker 1: and maybe it's a lie that they've heard, but nonetheless
16:02
Speaker 1: they start manipulating things because they believe it's a reliable source,
16:06
Speaker 1: and so they start sculpting their boards a little differently.
16:10
Speaker 1: Toward the end, mel Kuiper does the exact same thing.
16:13
Speaker 1: They pretty much all do the exact same thing. So
16:16
Speaker 1: it sort of was a indication. It was a flag
16:20
Speaker 1: to say, oh, Daniel Jeremiah, who's pretty locked in, has
16:24
Speaker 1: heard something about Carnell Tait rising up the board. Well,
16:28
Speaker 1: today's rumors the last twenty four hour cycle, forget about it.
16:31
Speaker 1: They've got him going all the way up to number three,
16:33
Speaker 1: possibly to number four, number five, three to five range
16:38
Speaker 1: for the Ohio state wide receiver. And so prizeah, I
16:42
Speaker 1: mean yes and no. If you would have told me
16:45
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of the process, I could have
16:47
Speaker 1: bought it, because I do believe in Carnel Tait. But
16:51
Speaker 1: I didn't think after the forty drop forty time drop
16:54
Speaker 1: that he experienced that we would be talking about him
16:57
Speaker 1: getting back into the top twenty five before or into
17:00
Speaker 1: the top five before the draft. But that seems to
17:03
Speaker 1: be he's the hot name again. Maybe he cools off
17:06
Speaker 1: again before next Thursday, but he is the hot name
17:09
Speaker 1: again right now. One that's not quite as hot is
17:12
Speaker 1: the Miami tackle Francis my Goa Malgoa, the tackle who
17:18
Speaker 1: for a long time has been mocked to the Cardinals
17:21
Speaker 1: at number three. Well, not been a good week for
17:25
Speaker 1: Miami Hurricane rumors. I mean the Reuben Bain story. People
17:30
Speaker 1: were wondering if that's going to affect his draft status.
17:34
Speaker 1: You know, the traffic incident that ended in a fatality,
17:37
Speaker 1: even though it was not deemed his fault. He's not
17:40
Speaker 1: going to be held legally responsible, doesn't look like and
17:44
Speaker 1: yet the negative news could that affect his draft status
17:48
Speaker 1: that came out? We dealt with that yesterday, and now
17:50
Speaker 1: they're talking about Malgoa, who was being mocked up to
17:54
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals at number three almost everywhere. Now they're
17:58
Speaker 1: saying he's going to need backs. Boy, that's a bad
18:01
Speaker 1: timing for that story to come out. Left tackle that
18:05
Speaker 1: might need back surgery, a guy that's carrying around three
18:08
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three hundred and forty pounds is going
18:11
Speaker 1: to need back surgery sooner than later, And so you
18:14
Speaker 1: do now wonder how that's going to affect his status
18:17
Speaker 1: for the draft as well, or how quickly his agent
18:21
Speaker 1: his PR team can downplay those rumors so that he's
18:24
Speaker 1: not affected come next Thursday. I mean, he's still gonna
18:27
Speaker 1: be a first round pick. They're talking about just cleaning
18:30
Speaker 1: things up. It's not like he needs some major surgery,
18:33
Speaker 1: but back surgery with a three hundred and thirty pound
18:36
Speaker 1: twenty two year old getting ready to enter the NFL
18:38
Speaker 1: draft nine sleeps away, not a good timing for that
18:41
Speaker 1: story for him.
18:42
Speaker 2: No, And even with a cleanup, usually that's about a
18:44
Speaker 2: six week, take it easy kind of recovery. I mean,
18:47
Speaker 2: he'd be in training camp on time, but it's not
18:51
Speaker 2: usually if you're dealing with back surgeries, it's not.
18:53
Speaker 3: One of one. There will be more down the line.
18:55
Speaker 1: Eh. Yeah, And that's something everybody's gonna scramble a little
18:59
Speaker 1: bit for medicals now from now until Thursday. And then
19:03
Speaker 1: finally this rumor, which really doesn't have to do any
19:07
Speaker 1: any player. Mike Rabel apparently is not going to speak
19:10
Speaker 1: before the NFL Draft.
19:12
Speaker 3: Because he doesn't want to answer questions about Diana Rasini.
19:15
Speaker 2: Right, But it's such a mistake because he's gonna whenever
19:18
Speaker 2: he does speak, he's going to be asked about it.
19:21
Speaker 1: I get not conducting a press conference to deal with it,
19:24
Speaker 1: because that's giving too much credibility. If you're trying to
19:27
Speaker 1: downplay it, that's getting too much credibility to the story.
19:30
Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold a press conference and let
19:32
Speaker 1: you ask me questions about my possible marital Yes, I
19:36
Speaker 1: understand that. But when you start skipping things that are
19:40
Speaker 1: the normal part of your head coaching job to avoid questions,
19:46
Speaker 1: now you're making a mistake. I heard somebody else say
19:50
Speaker 1: this the other day. I don't even know who it was,
19:52
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to give him credit. Just you know,
19:54
Speaker 1: I always feel compelled to to say that I didn't
19:57
Speaker 1: come up with this idea. But he there's another talk
20:01
Speaker 1: show host. He mapped out of scenarios like you know
20:03
Speaker 1: what's going to happen on that press conference. He's going
20:07
Speaker 1: to be asked the question. He's going to open it
20:09
Speaker 1: up about the draft, and the first three questions are
20:12
Speaker 1: going to be about Diana Russin and the first time
20:15
Speaker 1: you say, hey, I'm not here to answer those questions.
20:17
Speaker 1: That's personal matter. The truth will come out. Let's move on,
20:22
Speaker 1: and then the second person will ask a question about it. Hey, look, seriously,
20:26
Speaker 1: double down on this. We're not doing this today. You know,
20:30
Speaker 1: you know you got to give me time. I'm here
20:33
Speaker 1: to talk about the draft and that's it. If we
20:35
Speaker 1: can't do that, then I'll leave. And then a third
20:37
Speaker 1: person's going to ask something and then he'll lay the
20:39
Speaker 1: hammer down. If this is going to continue, then I'm
20:42
Speaker 1: going to walk away. If you want to talk about
20:44
Speaker 1: the draft, I'll answer any of your questions, but we're
20:46
Speaker 1: not talking about That's all you gotta do. You don't
20:48
Speaker 1: even have to answer the questions. But don't sit there
20:51
Speaker 1: hiding under a desk and acting like you're not man
20:54
Speaker 1: enough to face three questions before the media will move
20:58
Speaker 1: on from it and start asking you about aj Brown
21:01
Speaker 1: trade rumors.
21:02
Speaker 2: Well, and don't act like if you don't speak before
21:04
Speaker 2: the draft, that those questions aren't ever going to come
21:07
Speaker 2: for you, because they are. Whenever you speak first, you're
21:09
Speaker 2: going to get those questions. You handle it like that
21:11
Speaker 2: and you move on yeah.
21:12
Speaker 1: Don't conduct a press conference out of the blue to
21:15
Speaker 1: deal with it, right, But don't let it interfere with
21:19
Speaker 1: your daily responsibilities as head coach. Otherwise you look very
21:23
Speaker 1: guilty and it looks like you're hiding and trying to
21:26
Speaker 1: formulate the right thing to say before more information.
21:31
Speaker 3: Gets and it looks like it's interfering with your ability
21:33
Speaker 3: to do your job.
21:34
Speaker 5: That's right.
21:34
Speaker 1: So I think that's a terrible mistake. If that's just
21:37
Speaker 1: a rumor and he's.
21:38
Speaker 3: Still going to any serve as well.
21:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, then so be it. But if you take some advice,
21:44
Speaker 1: watch this go down way too many times field the questions,
21:48
Speaker 1: blow them off, say that you're not going to talk
21:50
Speaker 1: about it, and at least you didn't shirk a responsibility
21:53
Speaker 1: of yours. Yes, all right. Everett Fitzu's next Sports Radio

22:51

22:51

22:55
Speaker 5: and I think both of you do marvelous jobs.
22:57
Speaker 1: Oh we well, thank you, Thank you you too.
22:59
Speaker 3: Yeah you too.
23:00
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you right now you are lying
23:01
Speaker 1: about at least one of those two things.
23:06
Speaker 3: It makes me different for the real one.
23:08
Speaker 5: The real ones know which one I'm lying about.
23:15
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they're they're playing out this string? Is
23:18
Speaker 1: this weird of me to say I'm glad they lost
23:20
Speaker 1: last night because I think it was going to bother me. Ever,
23:23
Speaker 1: if they went on like a seven game winning streak
23:26
Speaker 1: to close out the regular season and still miss the playoffs.
23:30
Speaker 1: I think that I would have been angry that, oh,
23:32
Speaker 1: now you're going to play your best hockey. So I
23:34
Speaker 1: was kind of glad to see him have a clunker
23:36
Speaker 1: last night.
23:38
Speaker 5: You know, you're not the only person to say that,
23:40
Speaker 5: and I think for a different reason. I mean, the
23:43
Speaker 5: more losses that you pile up, unfortunately, the better your
23:47
Speaker 5: draft position. You know this, This is a from what
23:51
Speaker 5: I've been told, from what we're seeing, a pretty strong draft. However,
23:56
Speaker 5: I am in the other camp. To quote the great
23:59
Speaker 5: Herm Edwards, Hello, you play to win the game, and
24:04
Speaker 5: I'm very much on the you know, I want to
24:07
Speaker 5: go into the summer happy. I remember talking to Jared
24:09
Speaker 5: mccannon a couple of days ago and I asked him,
24:11
Speaker 5: I said, you know, what do you want out of
24:13
Speaker 5: these last five games? And he goes, Honestly, man, I
24:16
Speaker 5: just want to go into the office and feeling good.
24:18
Speaker 5: You want to have a good taste in your mouth.
24:20
Speaker 5: And that's kind of the sentiment from a lot of
24:22
Speaker 5: guys around around the office or around the locker room,
24:25
Speaker 5: is that, you know, we just want to feel good.
24:26
Speaker 5: So I understand where fans are coming from. It's like, hey, listen,
24:31
Speaker 5: you know, I've never been a big fan of tanking,
24:33
Speaker 5: but obviously there is this tanking culture that we're seeing,
24:38
Speaker 5: definitely in the NBA and amongst some NHL fan basis.
24:41
Speaker 5: It's like, hey, listen, if we're not going to make
24:43
Speaker 5: the playoffs, might as well put ourselves in the best
24:46
Speaker 5: position possible. I'll never be on that on that train,
24:50
Speaker 5: but I certainly understand why. You know where folks are
24:55
Speaker 5: coming from, and I get it from your perspective. You know,
24:57
Speaker 5: it's like, you know, why couldn't we do this back
24:59
Speaker 5: in October, back in January? I understand that. But for me,
25:03
Speaker 5: I'd love to go into Vegas and Colorado win these
25:06
Speaker 5: next two games and at least be able to hold
25:08
Speaker 5: your head kind of high for the next couple of
25:10
Speaker 5: weeks going into the off season.
25:12
Speaker 1: What did you think of Todd Liwiki's speech last week
25:17
Speaker 1: and how did it go over as far as you
25:19
Speaker 1: could tell with the players.
25:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, number one, with Todd's speech,
25:27
Speaker 5: you could really sense the disappointments and the unhappiness there.
25:35
Speaker 5: You know, Todd hired me. I've known Todd, you know
25:38
Speaker 5: now for six years, which is obviously not as long
25:41
Speaker 5: as half the people in the city apparently. But I think,
25:44
Speaker 5: you know, you could really tell that he expects more ownership,
25:48
Speaker 5: expects more. You know, there was that, there was that
25:51
Speaker 5: very disappointed tone in his voice, and I think you
25:55
Speaker 5: could even hear from him. He wears a lot of that,
25:59
Speaker 5: the vibe in the front office, in the locker room,
26:03
Speaker 5: in amongst the players, amongst the coaches, everyone collectively, this
26:07
Speaker 5: is all of our faults. We have not done a
26:10
Speaker 5: good enough job for our fans, We have not done
26:13
Speaker 5: a good enough job for this team and for this organization.
26:18
Speaker 5: And and he wears a lot of that, and you
26:20
Speaker 5: can sense his sincerity. I've talked to a lot of
26:23
Speaker 5: people in the last couple of days a week about
26:26
Speaker 5: that press conference, and they're like, man, you know, Todd
26:29
Speaker 5: is a very passionate person. But you could see the reflectiveness.
26:33
Speaker 5: You could see the man we have to get better,
26:36
Speaker 5: we will get better in his demeanor. So you know,
26:40
Speaker 5: I was I was left leaving that press conference with
26:45
Speaker 5: a sense of you know, it's going to be a
26:48
Speaker 5: tough road, it's going to be a challenge, you know, retools.
26:51
Speaker 5: It's not a rebuild, it's a retool. Aren't easy. And
26:57
Speaker 5: when it comes to players this offsea and whether that
27:00
Speaker 5: be trays, whether that be through whatever means, it's going
27:04
Speaker 5: to be arguably, I think the biggest summer, even bigger
27:08
Speaker 5: than this team's first summer when they had the expansion draft,
27:11
Speaker 5: because you have to get this right. And I also
27:14
Speaker 5: love the fact that he didn't shy away from the
27:17
Speaker 5: Sonics question. So many people are asking, you know, do
27:20
Speaker 5: you have an eye to the Sonics? Do you need
27:22
Speaker 5: to get this right before the Sonics come back? And
27:25
Speaker 5: he was honest about it and he goes, yeah, you know,
27:27
Speaker 5: we need to have two competitive winter sports in this city.
27:33
Speaker 5: And so the Kraken are committed to do every doing
27:36
Speaker 5: what it takes to get over this hump that they've
27:40
Speaker 5: been in. And it's going to be a very I
27:44
Speaker 5: don't want to say a long process, because I do
27:47
Speaker 5: think that with the right moves, depending on the draft position,
27:51
Speaker 5: I mean the crack and luck into the number one
27:53
Speaker 5: overall pick, you draft Gavin McKenna, Well, that's a franchise
27:57
Speaker 5: altering player. A lot of people are putting him in
28:00
Speaker 5: between Celebrini and badards, so you fall into that spot. Well,
28:04
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, maybe this two three four
28:08
Speaker 5: year plan turns into a one to two year plan.
28:10
Speaker 5: So you know, I do think that the Kraken are
28:14
Speaker 5: are bound for better days, and I think it'll start
28:16
Speaker 5: this summer.
28:17
Speaker 1: You know, if not for all the losing since the
28:21
Speaker 1: trading deadline, we would be celebrating Jason Bottrill's move for
28:24
Speaker 1: Bobby McMahon as one of the great deadline moves ever.
28:27
Speaker 1: I mean, he brought exactly what you hoped you would
28:30
Speaker 1: bring to the table, and yet you didn't win enough
28:33
Speaker 1: games to get into the playoffs. And now he becomes
28:36
Speaker 1: an unrestricted free agent if I'm not mistaken, after the
28:39
Speaker 1: season comes to a close. So considering the kind of
28:42
Speaker 1: show he put on for the Kraken here since putting
28:47
Speaker 1: on that sweater, I mean, how important is it for
28:51
Speaker 1: them to keep him?
28:53
Speaker 5: That's priority number one as far as I'm concerned, and
28:57
Speaker 5: from my all accounts, that is the goal. That is
29:00
Speaker 5: the main you know, that's that's your blue chip that
29:03
Speaker 5: you put up on the bulletin board, and that you
29:05
Speaker 5: need to resign Bobby McMahon. But also get line because
29:09
Speaker 5: there's probably thirty one other teams who are going to
29:11
Speaker 5: be lining up for Bobby McMahon as well. This is
29:14
Speaker 5: not this is not the strongest free agency class. I mean,
29:18
Speaker 5: after the Utah Mammoth re signed Nick Schmaltz to an
29:21
Speaker 5: eight by eight. I mean Bobby McMahon, based off of
29:24
Speaker 5: his recent play and and his his stress run here
29:28
Speaker 5: with Seattle, I mean, he's been the best player in
29:32
Speaker 5: the NHL amongst teams, amongst players that switch teams. He's
29:36
Speaker 5: got the most points of any player that switched teams
29:39
Speaker 5: at the deadline. So he's on an eighty six point
29:43
Speaker 5: pace I believe if you extrapolate this over the course
29:46
Speaker 5: of an eighty two game season, what he's doing in
29:49
Speaker 5: these last sixteen games or for the that's twelve thirteen
29:53
Speaker 5: games with the Cracking, I mean, he's on an eighty
29:55
Speaker 5: plus point pace for the whole year. So that's paramount
30:00
Speaker 5: is very very paramount for Seattle. But then again, like
30:02
Speaker 5: I mentioned before, there's going to be a lot of
30:04
Speaker 5: other teams that are going to be in the market
30:06
Speaker 5: for a player like Bobby McMahon, So the Crack and
30:09
Speaker 5: may have to get creative there. You know, it's going
30:11
Speaker 5: to drive up the price a little bit. But we
30:13
Speaker 5: heard Todd last week. They're committed the cracking to are
30:16
Speaker 5: committed to spending the money. They they've got the open
30:19
Speaker 5: check book. And then also too, there's gonna have to
30:21
Speaker 5: be some maybe unpopular moves, some some controversial moves, if
30:25
Speaker 5: you will. You've got four first round draft picks the
30:28
Speaker 5: next two years. You've got a couple of prospects, a
30:30
Speaker 5: couple of guys on your roster that garnered some attention
30:35
Speaker 5: at the last couple of deadlines. So you know, you
30:38
Speaker 5: talk about a seismic shift this summer that could entail
30:42
Speaker 5: moving some fan favorite, some core pieces out in order
30:46
Speaker 5: to bring in the right folks that you need to
30:48
Speaker 5: get over this hump.
30:49
Speaker 1: We're going to see you Friday or hear from you Friday.
30:52
Speaker 5: I'll be there Friday. Yeah, yeah, I want that green jacket.
30:57
Speaker 4: Yeah.
30:58
Speaker 1: You've only been an analyst for a great jack at
31:00
Speaker 1: the past, and now you're going to play the game. Oh,
31:03
Speaker 1: I can't be going in match WI going in with
31:06
Speaker 1: a great effort fits you right here on the old
31:08
Speaker 1: radio program. All right, well, well you'll look forward to that.
31:11
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, We appreciate it, and we'll see you.
31:13
Speaker 5: Soon, all right, Chuckie, talk to you.
31:16
Speaker 1: Thank you all right, the morns of your Seattle crack
31:18
Speaker 1: and evert fits you. Joining us right here on Chuck
31:20
Speaker 1: and Buck in the morning, all right, Coming up next,
31:22
Speaker 1: We've already talked about maybe the NBA playoffs are too
31:25
Speaker 1: predictable these days. What about golf? Has it gotten too
31:31
Speaker 1: predictable in the last few years. I'm gonna ask Ashley
31:34
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFMAR earlier in
31:47
Speaker 1: the show we had to talk about the NBA playoffs.
31:50
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like anybody's picking a upset once they get
31:54
Speaker 1: to the first round. We gotta do this playing nonsense
31:56
Speaker 1: for a couple of days, but once they get to
31:58
Speaker 1: the first round, doesn't feel like anbody's picking upset in
32:00
Speaker 1: Round number one, going very chalky. And I don't even
32:03
Speaker 1: know if I consider Houston over the Lakers without Luca
32:07
Speaker 1: an upset in the four to five matchup. But you
32:10
Speaker 1: know what I mean, nobody's expecting any March madness to
32:14
Speaker 1: take place, which is usually on pace.
32:18
Speaker 3: No run from the Miami Heat this time.
32:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's usually on pace for the NBA. I
32:23
Speaker 1: think it's the least I think it's the most predictable
32:25
Speaker 1: tournament that we have with our major professional sports and
32:29
Speaker 1: even our major collegiate sports. At this point, I think
32:33
Speaker 1: it's the most predictable. But I would ask you Ashley,
32:36
Speaker 1: as a huge golfer, we just saw another huge name
32:39
Speaker 1: in the sport win again another major in Rory on Sunday. Now,
32:44
Speaker 1: four of the last five Majors have been won by
32:47
Speaker 1: either Rory McElroy or Scotty Scheffler, arguably the two best
32:51
Speaker 1: players in the world right now. The last eight of
32:55
Speaker 1: nine have been won by Rory Scheffler, Schoffley or Dish Shambo.
33:01
Speaker 1: Arguably four of the top five players in the world
33:05
Speaker 1: have won eight of the last nine. I mean, the
33:07
Speaker 1: only one that stands out is JJ Spahn. Get off
33:10
Speaker 1: my lawn, I JJ Spawn. He's like the only one
33:13
Speaker 1: that is the outlier in all of this for a
33:15
Speaker 1: sport that, let's face it, whenever it was Tiger Woods
33:19
Speaker 1: at is Prime or the field, everybody would take the
33:22
Speaker 1: field because it's a sport that's kind of known for
33:25
Speaker 1: just that golfer had that day or had that weekend
33:29
Speaker 1: he got on fire. It just seems like a sport
33:32
Speaker 1: that traditionally is prone to the unlikely occurring at majors,
33:39
Speaker 1: and it's guys like Jack Nicholas and Tiger Woods who
33:42
Speaker 1: repeated consistently that made them so special. But have we
33:46
Speaker 1: gotten to the point where the best in the world
33:48
Speaker 1: are just so good that maybe something's being taken away
33:52
Speaker 1: from the golf world. Or do you like it better
33:54
Speaker 1: that the biggest names are showing up at the biggest
33:57
Speaker 1: tournaments and winning more often than not.
33:59
Speaker 2: I would like it better that the biggest names are
34:02
Speaker 2: showing up and winning a lot, especially looking at this Masters.
34:05
Speaker 2: I didn't expect that Rory was going to do that
34:07
Speaker 2: at all. I mean, he didn't get picked in our
34:08
Speaker 2: green jacket draft. I didn't think he was going to
34:12
Speaker 2: I didn't think he was going to have a bad tournament.
34:14
Speaker 2: I didn't think he was going to walk away with
34:16
Speaker 2: his second Green jacket in a row. And I mean,
34:18
Speaker 2: he's only the fourth person to ever do it, So
34:19
Speaker 2: it's not like that happens a lot obviously in golf.
34:23
Speaker 2: But I can definitely understand having the big names repeatedly
34:28
Speaker 2: winning these big tournaments kind of seemingly taking away from it.
34:31
Speaker 2: You do kind of want, or at least we think
34:33
Speaker 2: we want that name, that's the diamond and the rough,
34:37
Speaker 2: the long shot, the dark horse that's going to come
34:39
Speaker 2: through and all of a sudden have a day. But
34:41
Speaker 2: it's like it's like march madness. You want it for
34:44
Speaker 2: a little bit. You want them to make a run
34:45
Speaker 2: at it. You want them to be active on Saturday
34:47
Speaker 2: and come in on Sunday and be exciting. But you'd
34:51
Speaker 2: rather watch a battle between Scotti Scheffler and Rory McElroy
34:54
Speaker 2: for the green jacket.
34:56
Speaker 3: That's just the way it is, right.
34:57
Speaker 2: You want them to kind of you want to have
34:58
Speaker 2: those names that show up, I mean, which we did.
35:00
Speaker 3: We had Tyrol Hatton coming up.
35:02
Speaker 2: We had those guys that were having some exciting things
35:05
Speaker 2: happening throughout the day, a little bit of movement. But
35:08
Speaker 2: I don't think that anybody was going to sit there saying, oh,
35:10
Speaker 2: I don't want Rory to win.
35:12
Speaker 3: I'd rather see tyroal Hatton win. Right, And so it's
35:16
Speaker 3: I think the way it is in all sports.
35:17
Speaker 2: You say you want that change, you want that parody,
35:20
Speaker 2: you want that difference, but then when it comes down
35:23
Speaker 2: to it, you want to see the best players in
35:25
Speaker 2: the world competing.
35:25
Speaker 1: Not only do I not dislike it. I love it.
35:29
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think it's great for the game.
35:32
Speaker 1: And I know the older I get, the less enchanted
35:35
Speaker 1: I am with the underdog story. I want to see
35:39
Speaker 1: it on occasion. I think the JJ spawn story was great,
35:42
Speaker 1: but let's see it about once every nine majors.
35:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you still getting that all the time? And
35:46
Speaker 3: then it's it's like yeah, because they're wrong.
35:49
Speaker 1: Highlights the beauty of the underdog story too. But look, tennis,
35:56
Speaker 1: Tennis's great moments are when there are three players. I
36:00
Speaker 1: have a little gotta have more than two, but sometimes
36:02
Speaker 1: you can get away with two, just two dominant players
36:05
Speaker 1: that repeatedly meet one another in the in the in
36:09
Speaker 1: the Grand Slams. Yeah, and that's when tennis is usually
36:13
Speaker 1: at its best, when it's Federer, Nadal and Djokovic almost
36:19
Speaker 1: always in the finals. See, if you have two, then
36:23
Speaker 1: it's not at least you have a rotation at three
36:26
Speaker 1: that keeps a little bit fresh. But you wanted to
36:28
Speaker 1: see those guys meet up in the finals. Back in
36:31
Speaker 1: the day it was McEnroe and Connors and Borg. Those
36:34
Speaker 1: are the guys you wanted to see, so it served
36:37
Speaker 1: them well. And I think that it's going to serve golf. Well,
36:40
Speaker 1: I think it has been a sport that historically more
36:45
Speaker 1: you just saw a lot more off the beaten path
36:49
Speaker 1: kind of golfers have great weekends and end up competing
36:53
Speaker 1: for these majors. I love that you're coming down to
36:57
Speaker 1: Sundays with the biggest names going at a each other
37:00
Speaker 1: had to head. I love that they're so good and
37:03
Speaker 1: they're so consistent on the biggest stage. I think it's
37:06
Speaker 1: actually great. I heard some people to saying it was
37:08
Speaker 1: a problem. I think it's phenomenal.
37:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's a problem at all.
37:12
Speaker 2: And you throw in I mean, you've got the two
37:14
Speaker 2: best golfers in the world were there at the top
37:16
Speaker 2: of your leaderboard. The only thing I think that could
37:19
Speaker 2: have made it excite more exciting is if you had,
37:22
Speaker 2: you know, something like Jordan Speith making a really strong
37:26
Speaker 2: run to finish in the top three, because that would
37:28
Speaker 2: have been incredible given where he was in his history
37:31
Speaker 2: with the Masters. I mean those storylines where you could
37:33
Speaker 2: throw somebody in who's not such an not an unknown name,
37:37
Speaker 2: but is.
37:37
Speaker 3: Still maybe a long shot to win.
37:39
Speaker 2: You can throw that person in there in the mix,
37:41
Speaker 2: but it's still got to be a pretty well known
37:42
Speaker 2: name for people to really be into it.
37:44
Speaker 1: I'm so far down the road that it's like, I'm
37:47
Speaker 1: glad Justin Rose lost. I'm tired of it.
37:50
Speaker 3: So bad for it.
37:51
Speaker 1: Well that's how most people feel. But I'm like, man,
37:53
Speaker 1: how many chances have you been given on the last
37:56
Speaker 1: day and you can't get it done? I know, like,
37:58
Speaker 1: it's more interesting to see you finish third and it
38:01
Speaker 1: is for you to win.
38:02
Speaker 2: But again though you've got that, you've got that story right,
38:05
Speaker 2: and that makes it more interesting because you're thinking, Okay,
38:07
Speaker 2: could this be the year he does it? He was
38:09
Speaker 2: making a strong run for himself and then collapses again.
38:13
Speaker 1: I don't see it as a problem. I think as
38:15
Speaker 1: I see it as a benefit to the sport. And
38:17
Speaker 1: if it was just two guys or one guy, well
38:20
Speaker 1: one guy would be spectacular. There's just a couple of guys,
38:22
Speaker 1: but it's you know, we're talking about four or five, yeah,
38:25
Speaker 1: of the best in the world that are consistently on
38:28
Speaker 1: Sunday competing for a major. I think that's a lot
38:32
Speaker 1: better than the alternative.
38:34
Speaker 3: I agree, all right.
38:34
Speaker 1: Coming up next Mariner's sweep. Mariner's getting ready for the
38:38
Speaker 1: Padres Mariner's having to think about a six man rotation.
38:43
Speaker 1: We'll cover it all next. Sports Radio ninety three point
