  Speaker 2: Good morning, Chris, Good morning Greg. How are things over
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: there on the other side of the glass.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's good man, other than rain and my wife?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Did you see next Monday?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Though? Next Monday? Tell me tuesdays.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Act like that?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Okay? Tell me. I thought it wasn't supposed to rain
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: for ten days, so I watched my car.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: This was the NFL season.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: You'd be getting ready to write a story about pregaming
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: for or getting prepared for, let's say, the Rams next week.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: So don't give me over next Monday. You didn't see
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the weather? No eighty two degrees.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: That feels like forever from now.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: But okay, don't worry.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Greg.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: By the time it's Friday, was like, whoa, I guess
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: we're closing the Monday.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Too in Seattle?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: All right, yeah, well, let me look now, I probably
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: went mad a few degrees.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Why I washed the car yesterday because they said it
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna rain for ten days and I wake up
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this morning, my car's drenched like on it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like they usually.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: If I was as bad at my job as whether
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: forecasters were, i'd been fired twenty decades ago.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: When a they gonna make that automated where a robot
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: just goes out there and give the forecast, or they
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: all this AI.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It would be as accurate as I mean. I have
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: some friends in the meteorology business, and I know there's
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars spent on science at US. There used
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to be until our government cut it. But there's science
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: toward forecasting. But man, their accuracy is just so low,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: so low.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough, I guess in Seattle, especially.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Anywhere within a few places, and it just is wrong.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: If they say it's going to be seventy five and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Sunday and it's like sixty nine and cloudy, I wouldn't
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: be too upset.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, but rain or no rain, that's really all people
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: want to know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: But here I feel like I'm goanna be honest with you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I've been a few places and it's like, Oh.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I grew up in Ohio, Chris, and I will tell
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you that it's cloudier more days. A chance of rain
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in Ohio than it is here.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I have an update for you, Greg. Starting next Sunday,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: we have one, two, three, four straight days of seventy
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: five or more. So it'll be seventy six on Sunday,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: seventy seven Monday, seventy four on Tuesday, seventy five on Thursday.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So actually five days of seventy plus weather. That's a
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: great way to kick your bae off.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's top down on the.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Mild ladies and gentlemen.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: If you're like, oh, I need to do something, well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: those are your five days to get up and get out. Awesome,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna go running. I'm gonna
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: go walk in and then start talking to the wife
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about hiking. Maybe going back to poop Poop point shop.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Might McDonald I heard he was up there a few
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: years back. But yeah, you're hang gliding when you could
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: do the top. I don't know about all that. It
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: sounds great until I'm in that little I forget. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a little like a damn near canoe or whatever you
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: wanna call it. I just I get a little, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: not cloustrophobic, but being you can go with someone you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that du Yeah, I'm aware, but I'm still scared, like one, oops,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: hey man, we're going down?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? Hey man, we're going down? I
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: don't know. Maybe I'm just too scary.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I jumped out of airplanes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It's nothing that seems I would I would feel more
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: comfortable doing that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Which, yeah, it was stat I must admit it's airborne.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. It wasn't free free fall.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And guess who just texted back?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: What are we gonna have at eleven o'clock?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Right, Gary Hill?
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Gary Hill, he's locked in voice of the Mariners in Minneapolis,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: going to join us eleven o'clock. Talk about the ms
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: who looked like they were on their way back a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: four game sweep or three games sweeps usually at Saint Louis.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: We're talking about the Mariners.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Should we just like brush past that the first twenty
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: minutes here, I'm sure people in the text line would agree, like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: don't even worry about it, guys.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's fourteen and sixteen, end of April.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: They just lost.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They got their butts beat yesterday, so you know, we
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: don't really talk about it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: The draft is more important.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Do we have a last Castillo?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Problem?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Is the Ra's above six seven runs hits seven runs
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: in five innings. They did have a chance to win.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: They can I use the word that he'll be fine
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: or is it panic mode?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd stays yellow, not even on the yellow.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, yellow flag, yellow light.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: That's fair, all right, mister NBA man. Last night, oh
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I am in. I'm going to say a couple of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: things here that people can go what I was. It
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was about nine o'clock last night. I was in the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: kitchen washing dishes. Yeah you yeah, yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Did the wife cook?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Though? No, you cook? I cooked and watched it. My wife,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: my poor ailing wife, is homesick today from work, which
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: never happened, ever happened the show. She's cal ripken. She
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: just doesn't miss well. Yeah, she may have to want
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to listen to the show. She may be regretting that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: decision right now. But I cooked inner, and I was
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: cleaning the dishes, and I'm in the In the other end,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: my son, Eric, twenty two year old, is flipping to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the channels. He's watching the Stanley Cup playoff game, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City is off the hook right now for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Utah Mammoth. They're just so loud in that building. He's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: watching that, and he flips over to what I thought
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was like Dunton Abbey or something that was so sedate
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: in theater or something. It was the NBA playoffs, And
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I said, what was What did you just change it to?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It was so so quiet, And he only watches sports
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like I do, mostly on television, so I knew he
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was watching another game. He said, yeah, that was the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Denver game. I said, justin, I yelled from the kitchen,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: just in that thirty second snippet of two different scenes,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the intensity of the NHL in the Stanley Cup Playoffs
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: versus the intensity coming through the screen of the NBA playoffs. Chris,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it was like a preseason game atmosphere wise, and Denver's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: fighting for their season. They had to win that game
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Well, he was on the road yesterday.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well they were home. Denver was home Yesterday's.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Right, they were home.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And it sounded like an October preseason game at Colorado Springs,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: at the Air Force Academy or something. It was so quiet,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, that, in a nutshell, encapsulates
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: what I've been trying to say for a couple of years.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: The Stanley Cup playoffs. So I know you're an NBA guy,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: but you gotta admit the intensity level in the NBA
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: playoffs just ain't.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: There from the players or from the fans.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: From anything. The atmosphere of the players, were their managers
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: there from the players in NUB one, Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: You look at that between even the Celtics and the Fixers,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: like it's there. They're just overall Boston just a better team.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Not much you can do when you're a better team,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: like you can show up and do everything right. The
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: really good series is actually what Orlando's doing because they're
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: playing physical ball and Detroit is kind of looking at
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: them and like, well, what's what's going on. Cunningham is
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the best player on the court, but it don't matter
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: when you guy. When you have guys that can't shoot,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and Orlando's being physical, it's it's gonna be a dogfight.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Like it's very physical.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Like if you watch the entire game, you'll be like, oh, okay, now,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: maybe the crowd wise, that's you know, that's different, but
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in terms of how the players are taking it, oh yeah, it's.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: You're seeing stuff that you won't see in the regular season,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: which people don't really like, which I understand. If you're
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: gonna pay money to go watch your favorite player and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: they sit out or you're not seeing the effort like
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that can definitely rub people the wrong way, and I
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: don't blame them, But when it gets to the playoffs,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: like these these guys are the players specifically, Oh yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it's all left on the court. Even Jokic last night,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, triple double and when they needed him
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: to do it. Now, obviously you look at what's going
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: on in Minnesota. They lost Dante DiVincenzo with the torn
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: achilles and then Anthony Edwards awkward fall. He's gonna miss
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: this series, so backstore against the wall. But jaded McDaniels,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: he didn't back down. He was still in those guys's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: face and talking crazy and just being himself on the court.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And then Yoka, as I mentioned, he delivered, so Jamal Murray.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So the intensity for the players is definitely up up
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a notch. But when you look at some of these
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: matchups like Portland versus the Spurs, they're gonna give it
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: all they got. But when alien, yeah, it's just not
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: much you can do. Same with hockey, had imagine like
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: there's just some rounds where it's just like, yeah, you're
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: gonna give it your all, but at the end of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the day, you're gonna lose this series.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Like that's just how it is.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Despite how physical it might be, the better team just
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: usually wins, except for Orlando because they are actually showcasing
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: something that I think is shocking a lot of people.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But it would be nice if I don't know, some
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Detroit players can shoot the ball, but it pier Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: A paper tiger. The young teams still up and coming
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: right there, Yeah, a year or two ahead.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: When you have a regular season like you had and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you are dominant on the defensive end, and Kate Cunningham
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: is able to do all these things, that should translate.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Well, it's the number one seed. The Pistons the number
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: one see because half the league and the Celtics everybody
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: just coasting through the regular season and load management all
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: these other things.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: They beat some good teams like they definitely earned it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: But it ain't clicking right now, and Orlando is actually
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a team that has faltered because of injuries. They should
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: be dare I say a fifth or fourth or fifth seed,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: But when you lose players throughout the regular season, it's inconsistent.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: This is how you fall to the eighth. And now
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you're like shocking the world that didn't get a chance
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to see Orlando much just because we live on the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest. Those games are at four o'clock. Who's really
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: watching NBA TV or the League pass?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Benkara's friends, all your day buddies are.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Probably So that's like a fraction there, you know, it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a very small percentage. But even then, like are you
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: watching those games or are you just seeing the highlights?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: They went through a lot this season, and they, like
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I said, they shouldn't be an AFC, but they are,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and now you're seeing them.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: They're about to probably win this series.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: The last team that blew a three to one lead
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: was actually the Orlando Magic in two thousand and three
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: against the Oh Detroit Piston. So it's kind of like, oh,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: my goodness, could this happen again? But I think Orlando's
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: probably gonnad up closing this out because I just think
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: right now they have better shooters and they're playing better defense,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: and I think they're just bringing the physicality to another level.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And Detroit scratched the head like I thought we were
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the number one season, like, yeah, but you just got
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: a bad matchup, Like Orlando's not a bad team, they
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: just had a bunch of crap go through the regular season.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: But now they're all together as a unit and a
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: lot of their players are out playing the players on Detroit.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Told you he's an NBA guy. Those of you that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: don't remember our show from twenty twenty four, here we
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: go back and forth this time of year about the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Playoffs versus the NBA playoffs. I think the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Playoffs are so far superior. I'm biased, but
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a hockey fan over an NBA fan. But going
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: into last night about competitiveness, twenty seven of the thirty
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: one playoff games had been decided within one goal or
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: because of an empty net goal at the end two
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: goals or so, but within one goal in the final
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: minute or so until empty net goals twenty seven of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: thirty one. You don't have these one to thirty five
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to ninety eight games in the nh Stanley Cup Playoffs.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: It's the hardest trophy to winning sports, it's the most
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: revere trophy to winning sports, and it's just the it's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: so and I've said this before if you haven't heard it,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if you heard it before, just humor me if we
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: If you're paying five hundred dollars a month for Comcast
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: cable here in Seattle, like I am stupidly and Chriss
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Shak has had no way watch the CBC sports Net
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: broadcast of the Stanley Cup playoffs. It is so far
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: superior to the American broadcast. It's not even close. For
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: one thing, ESPN TNT seemed to turn down the arena sound.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: It's it's muted somehow. On CBC sports Net it is blaring.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And they've got they got my microphones on the boards,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: they got microphones in the benches. You can hear guys
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: barking into each other, the in between period stuff. I've
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: said this before. That panel and Kevin bix is tremendous.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Every time there's an intermission. I learned something from Kevin
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Bixit and Kelly Rudy and Bottle and it's just it's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Elliott Friedman is on there. It's a it's just a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it's a really cool product. If you haven't watched the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs that way, and you're already paying for
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the cable anyway, go to ninety nine cbut out of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Vancouver and watch the CBC Sports Net. Chris is just
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: tuned out to this conversation now, he's no, I'm listening.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I'm just making sure the YouTube channel is working, you know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Oh hi YouTube, no tree today, I'll talk to there.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: The tree is off to the side. You can't see
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: it anymore.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Well, you really can now that I look at you
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: on youtubeus.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Christmas Tree is gone because Draft miss is over. Chuck
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is bumming about that, but we will talk tons more
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: about the NFL draft, including where the Seahawks are at safety. Anyway,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: My point is Silic Cup playoffs are better than the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: NBA playoffs, and watch it on CBC. The seahw safety
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: situation now that they've drafted Bud Clark. We talked to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Bud Clark's one of his position coaches at TCU yesterday,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Juice Broad, who was fantastic. We had a lot of feedback. Chris,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know we got it posted online that we
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: don't have.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: A podcast page for the show yet subset. Do we
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: on it on the website? I am not sure. I
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: tried to, but I know our podcast is available. The
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: podcast is out, so if you just type in Greg
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: bail Show. It comes right up. Two g's, by the way,
• 12:26

• 12:30

• 12:32
  Speaker 1: shout out there.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yes it's available podcast. It's probably not up on the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: kJ R page. Hey, purple sheet. Greg would ask that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you get that up yesterday in case you're listening there.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: We had. The reason I brought it up is that
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we had people say, man, I missed that interview. I
• 12:46

• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you there's not too many Greg's out there with two Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That's true Forst Greg former Bengals coach. Anyway, what you're
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: going to hear a little bit of again. Next segment
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: about Juice Brown, the cornerback coach for TCU. He said,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the Seattle's in for a treat with Bud Clark, and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: he is an off the wall, loud wolfing at the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: offense guy. He sounds like Devin Witherspoon and McDonald loves that.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you McDonald loves Devin Witherspoon loves him. Witherspoon
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: get cracks at him, calls him a nerd publicly to
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: us and teases him back and forth. McDonald loves him.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: They're like, it's it's an odd couple. He's thirty eight,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Witherspoon's twenty two. Witherspoon from Florida, and McDonald was born
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: in New England, completely different backgrounds, and yet they they're
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: like best friends on the team. I can tell you that.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And if blud Clark is anything like Devin Witherspoon and Bravado,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: McDonald's going to love him. To spice up the practices.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Here's another thing. Hard Knocks cameras are going to love him.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: This summer. You're all going to get a chance to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: see him live, well live but recorded on video with
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: NFL Films as cameras starting in August. The Seahawks, of course,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: for the first time, we're going to be on the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Hard Knock series with NFL Films, and yeah, Devin Witherspoon
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and what sounds like Bud Clark on top of the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Marcus Lawrence and Leonard Williams, and there's some characters that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of the country don't know. They just know
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: him for their football. Haven't watched him in the playoffs
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl last year. Bud Clark sounds like
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he's going to be adding to that entertainment. You're going
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to hear from his position. Coach Juice Brown used to
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: be Caitlin de Bor's cornerback coach here at Washington and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: udub before the war left for Alabama. We talked to
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Juice Brown yesterday. You'll hear some of the snippets from that,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about the actual Seahawks safety situation.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It looked like, Okay tyle Cott is going to be
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the guy that replaces Kobe Bryant after Bryant left for Chicago,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: big contract. Nah. Since then, they've made moves. We'll talk
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: about that, what moves they've made. And it's not just
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they're going to hand tie crowd of the starting job.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I think the drafting of Bud Clark sixty fourth overall
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: shows that. We'll also talk about the undrafted free agents
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: rookie free agents the Seahawks have signed. Yeah, they didn't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: draft any edge rushers, but they're already signed a couple
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: that they could have drafted in late rounds and just
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: decided to sign him as undrafted rookies. That's always the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: weighing of do you sign him as a seventh round
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: pick you get him as an undrafted rookie. Well, there's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: seven known signings of undrafted rookies and two of them
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: are edge rushers. In a third veteran edge rusher may
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: be coming in Dante Fowler. He is visited with the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Seahawks at Seahawks headquarters. Yesterday was the day that now
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: going forward, any veterans free agent signs do not count
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: against the compick formula for twenty twenty seven. So the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Seahawks can still hold on to their expected eleven picks,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: seven in the original rounds and then four expected in
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the comp pick because of losing Bryant and Walker and
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Woolen at all. We'll talk all about that and what
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that means, but as Mike McDonald says, this is a process.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: The roster process and construction process is not nearly done,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: so don't get too alarmed if you're a Seahawk fan
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that they did not draft any addressers after losing boy
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Mafe to free agency and having Derek call in the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: final year of his contract. Cop Next, we'll break down
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks safety situation. We'll detail who they signed. It's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: more than just Hyakatta obviously, and it's more than just
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Bud Cark. Two. We'll talk about that next eleven o'clock.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Gary Hill Junior from Minneapolis on the Mariners from the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Mariners Broadcast booth in Minnesota. All that coming up on
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 16:42

• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Picking me the instant starter four nine four to five one.
• 17:33

  Speaker 1: number one rank defense in twenty twenty six. We'll read
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: back your text at eleven thirty something I didn't mention
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: in the headlines, and I'm just gonna mention it to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: talk about Chris because you run a little bit. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: used to run until I blew my achilles out. Did
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you know that the sub two hour?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've mari watched that. That was incredible.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, isn't it?
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: And because it's funny.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: When I was in high school, I used to hate
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: distance running, like didn't want to watch it, Like, who.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Was sid watch somebody runs the sixteen loop?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Stupid.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Now as I've gotten older, I actually enjoy being more active.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: As I had a brief discussion with chuck about the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: older you get, the less active you are, because when
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: you're in high school, you probably played two or three sports.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You had practice every day, so you know you're out
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: here looking really good, flexing the muscles.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: You probably had an eight pac greg so all those things.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Like.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Well, then as you get older, you're like, oh.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It'd be nice if I went outside for a hike
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: once a week, and you just you just take for
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: granted those earlier days. And now I'm at a point
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: where I want to be able to run at least
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: three times a week. So and I enjoy the distance running,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Like I go to Seward if I don't play flag football,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I'm over at Seward running two laps and I'm timing
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: myself and like, oh, because I'm doing a five k
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: this weekend as well. So yeah, my wife, she's big
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: on running. And like I said, as I got older,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I have learned to respect and understand the long distance running.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: As you're going to talk about the London, they.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Ran a marathon. Sebastian Saw of can Kenya. He won
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the London Marathon in one hour, fifty nine minutes and
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds. No one had ever broken two hours before
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and two dudes, did it the second place finish, sure Ethiopia,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: as you meave Kajeka. He did it in one fifty
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: nine to forty one. In fact, the third place finish.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: You're also breathed the previous record but didn't delips two hours.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: But get this, man, it was a sunny sixty degree
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: day in London, or they probably called it fifteen degrees
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever over in London, and apparently it's a relatively
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: flat course. According to the Associated Press report, saw the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: now new record holder of the sub two hour marathon.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Get this, he ran, Chris the last half, the thirteenth,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the last thirteen miles when you're a little tired, a little.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: He ran that in fifty nine minutes. In one second,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: he was moving. That's crazy, insane. Thirteen miles and fifty
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: nine minutes flat fifty nine oh one. I know a
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: lot of your runners out there, try that out. Try
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: to go with thirteen miles. Just do it flatted thirteen
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and fifty nine oh one. Not do it after doing
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: thirteen miles previously. He did that after running thirteen miles
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and then ran thirteen more at fifty nine oh one.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was very impressed, Like I said, as I've
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: matured and understand the process of long distance running, I've
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: grown to respect it even more.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And like I said, I'm challenging myself to do.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: It good way. You can't, man, Yeah, exactly. When I
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: nailed my achilles about a year and a half ago,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I can't run. I cannot. I feel it every single
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: time now. So yeah, no rehab that could yo. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: tried physical therapy. I tried shock treatment, shock wave.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Can they just give you a new leg if it
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: was cheap, if they could like find you a deal
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like I know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Even I do a lot of biking now, Okay, so
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that's a sub I don't. I mean, despite some my
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: looks of I've gained some weight, I don't. I still
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: have active. I bike And yeah, my wife is hiker supreme.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: She sounds like your wife and my wife should get together.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: She said, I'm going on a hike. She left at
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: seven am, went out to the Olympic Coast or Olympic Peninsula,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and came back like dark. She was gone for thirteen hours.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: And I know there's a fairy ride.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That's how you would be if you went and play golf.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Look at that she took me. Yes, exactly once we
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: had twins. No more, you're doing what hitting the ball
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: for five hours?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: No, you're not.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: No.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So we go on a hike in the middle fork
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: of the Snoqualmie River Valley and we go up to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Garfield Ledges and those of you in the area probably
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: know where that is. It's an overlook over the Snoqualmie
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Valley River Valley, and then at the bottom of it,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: we did along the river hike just because she didn't
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: want to just go to the ledges and back because
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: it was too short. And then I had to get
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: back because I was going to the kracking game that
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: night with my son, our son, and so we cut
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the hike short. And she wanted to go out to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: these hot springs and check them out, which is like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: twelve miles one way, and to her that's just a hike.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: To me, that's an adventure, right, So I broke off
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the hike as we had to get back to the
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: krackt and I said, what did you think of the hike? Hunt?
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: It was like, we were gone for four hours. It's
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good, right, hiking for four hours? So well, it
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: was modified disappointingly like what I did the Enchantments with
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: her a year and a half ago. In the last
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: eight miles. It's a twenty mile hike in one day
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: up as guard passed, which is really called ass kick Pass.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Those of who have done the Enchantments, it's in one day.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: You can't get it if you want to camp yet.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's a lottery and it's always full, so you if
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: you want to hike it, you have to go do
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: it in one day and you can go two ways.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: This is an icicle creek outside Leavenworth. I know there
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: are listeners who've done this, and I did it one
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: day and I thought, oh, I can do this. I
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: used to do eighty mile rock, eighty pound rucksack, fifteen
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: mile road marches in the Army. I'm good. Well, I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: got shin splints about halfway after going up ask Kick Pass.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: As guard pass you take one step forward and you
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: fall down two steps, and one step forward and fall
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: down two steps, like walking. Mount Saint Helen's is the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: same way. We've done that. That's cool. By the way,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: if you have a hike Mount Saint Helens, take your
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: wife up there. She'd love that anyway. The Enchantment she'd
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: love that too, But it's twenty miles. We left at
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: six am. We got back at like ten thirty. Because
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of my chin splits, I was dragging my feet down
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the last switch back to the last half of it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Hats off to those of you who do enchantment. The
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Enchantments are fun and a beautiful, beautiful hike. We live
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: in an absolutely awesome area. You can just hop in
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: your car twenty minutes. You're in world class hiking in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the Cascades, and then we have an ocean on the
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: other side an hour and a half or two away.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, we're blessed. Get outside anyway, How do we
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: get on all that? We don't try to talk about
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Seahawk safeties.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know something about the Boston the other Boston, but.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: The marathon running.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: One of my rent talk about how much respect I
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: have for running in general.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: It used to be just a sprint guy. But now
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, long distance pretty cool, you know.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Seward Park. If you see Christopher Kid out there.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, fully clothed by the way, you know, it's
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: getting warm out. I start taking the shirts off. I'm like, fellas,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: it's like barely seventy but come on, man, I need
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: to see you drenched his sweat before your shirts off.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: It's not that hard, right right. Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: We had Juice Brown, the cornerbacks coach at tc you
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: on with us yesterday talking about the Seahawks second round
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: pick Bud Clark, who he coached the last two years
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in Fort Worth. And this is an idea what personality wise,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: this is what his position coach says the Seahawks are
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: getting with Bud Clark. Juice Brown, the cornerback. Juice Brown,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the cornerback coach for TCU. He said, the Seattle's in
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: for a treat with Bud Clark and he isn't off
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the wall.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I record over the audio that already sent with in
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I'm all right, here we go. All right, Chris, got it,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Juice Brown on Bud Clark.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: When I first got here, I'm just watching him and
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: you know, you're new to the staff and you're just
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: trying to figure everybody out. And I'll see this guy
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: as he jabbing at the offense, he's talking and then
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: shoot when we go out the practice field. I mean,
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: you talk about a dude that practices, he doesn't take
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: days off and.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: If it's the day.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: But Clark isn't that practice. You know, he's really really
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: banged out, and so Seattle's in for a treat with him.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: He gonna love to play, he gonna have energy when
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: he does it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: The crowd, the crowd, they gonna love him. When he says,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he just wolfs at him offense in a good way,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: a positive way, and that is his personality. It didn't
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: come off as much as Julian neal personality of Bravado
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: to the media on the call after the draft, but
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the coaches and scouts will tell you that Bud Clark
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: has it just as much as Julian Neil does. So
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Kobe bryan Here's how it all went down. Kobe Bryant
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: signed with the Bears for forty million over three years
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: in March. We know that it appeared then the tyle
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Katta was going to be the starter next to Julian
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: leven twenty twenty six, right, because Okata he excelled. He
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: really was good by the end of the season. He
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: started eleven games last year, most of them when Love
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: was injured with the hamstring for over a couple months.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: But here's what's happened since Bryant left the Seahawks. Seattle
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: has signed Rodney Thomas. People are overlooking that signing. He
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: was a starting safety for the Colts two years ago.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: The coaches in the Seahawks are really excited about Rodney Thomas.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: He's a Yale at I think we've talked about this.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: He is a quantitative science degree holder from Yale. He
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: knows analytics and the math part of football, probably more
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: than most people in the Seahawks building. He is going
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to have a chance to play in a role to
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: be determined, and it could be a rotational role at
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the safety position. They've also resigned AJ Finley. They really
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: liked Finley last year in the summer, and then he
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: had an injury that took him out for most of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the season and people forgot about him an undrafted rookie
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: free agent signing. But AJ Finley is back. They resigned
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: him of a restricted free agent deal. And now they've
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: added Bud Clark, so there's three options next to Okata.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: So they're not just going to hand the job to Tylecotta.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: As good as he was last year and they invested
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a second round pick on it. Now they have a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: guy in four year country at which, of course the
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: others don't have. There will be a competition, and that's
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: the way Mike McDonald. Any coach really wants it for
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the top ranked defense. So who's going to be next
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to Julian Love. This is what Mike McDonald, the head
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: coach of the Seahawks defensive Architects, said Saturday after the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: end of the draft when we were asking him about
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: replacing Kobe Bryant.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: I don't think we think through like in those terms
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: that were like, we're not trying to replace anybody. We're
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: just trying to find like the best.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: People for us.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: And Bud has like a really great, cool, exciting skill
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: set and personality competitive spirit to him. I mean, we're
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: not just gonna play.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Them at safety.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: You can play Nickel, could probably play corner for us.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: We'll figure that out kind of as we go and
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: how the team kind of shapes out. We got some
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: great players at safety two that are going to compete
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: me in Tayacotta.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Help win us a lot of games last year.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Rodney Thomas is a guy that we're really high on.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: A lot of guys giving me a lot of great competition.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: But Bud has the skill sets that we're looking for
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: in our secondary play with the competitiveness, the ball skills,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: the mande mandability, that that type of stuff.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And there's the key. McDonald can play all kinds of
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: defenses if he has his type of guys in there.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: He can play man the man with safety, which means
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: bringing the safety down into the slot, which means not
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: just having two post safeties in the back. You play
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: single high and you confuse the offense. I was listening
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to a Monday night game a long time ten years
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: ago that Ross Tucker is going to be a regular
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: guest with Ian Ferness. Now, Ross Tucker Princeton educated, former
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: NFL player, and Ross Tucker really crystallized it for me
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: and ever since then, I thought of it through this
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: lens football, Through this lens, really offensive football is two
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: things at the line right at the snap before the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: right before the snap. But the line of scrimman is
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the quarterback and the offensive coordinator trying to discern ady
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: in single high coverage or too high coverage with safeties.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: That's it, he said, That is the essence of offensive football.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: You have a set of plays against single high and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: you have a set of plays against two deep safeties.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: The Tampa two that Tony Dungee and the Buccaneers won
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with way back in two thousand and
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: two against the Raiders used to cover the advent of
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: that with that was the Tampa two. In the variations
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: of two deep safety coverage that exists today, that's been
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: a now a quarter century of too deep coverage, but
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: single high coverage. Mike McDonald loves single high because he
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: can disguise it into too high. He can blitz, he
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: can have a run support safety down when teams try
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to go countering his nickel and dime looks with runs.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: That's what makes Nicky even Worries so great. He's listed
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: as a safety on the Seahawks roster, yet he's a linebacker.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: He's a sam linebacker. He's an edge right. He was
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a defensive end against the Vikings last year. He plays
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: everywhere nickel and it sounds like and the answer that
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: he gave about Bud Clark that he thinks the same
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: m Clark now not exactly as even Worry, but utilizing
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: him in varied ways is my point. If he can
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: play man coverage as a safety, Chris, that means you
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: can move him all over the place. You can have
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: him like a nickel alignment. You can have him head
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: up in the slot and you have then a single
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: high look. You could have him head up at the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: slot the snap and then drop him in to the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: two deep alignment. Wants to snap and he does that
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: all the time. He moves chameleon like defensing after the
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: snap to confuse the quarterback. And to me it sounds
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: like Bud Clark. They chose him one for the competitiveness
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: in the locker room culture that we talk about, but
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: also because of what he can do, varying him as
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: a chess piece on the field. This is also what
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Julian or excuse me, Juice Brown, the secondary coach cornerback
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: coach for TCU, said yesterday about Bud Clark. He said it,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: but as as competitive as they come, great balls, because
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: anticipates really well. He's so athletic, he's so fluid, he's fast.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: We played him a free safety, but we could play
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: him anywhere. He also was in the slot. According to
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the TCU quarnerbacks coach, he's going to talk to the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: offense in a good way, in a competitive way. This
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: guy's always jabbing at the offense. You heard him say,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Seattle's in a real treat with him. A lot of players,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he said, opted out of the bowl game they played
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: against usc usc bowl game last year. Half a us
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: CES roster didn't go, just skipped it. Bud Clark played
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: every snap he knew he was going to be drafted,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and his position coach Juice Brown yesterday said, here's a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: second round pick in the NFL that played every snap
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: in the bowl game that he didn't have to play.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: He also said he had a lot of suitors after
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: his junior year at TCU to transfer in nil money,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and he stayed. He stayed out all six years of
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: his college career at TCU. I'm telling you, Juice Brown said,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: of Bud Clark, the Seahawks second round pick, He's going
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: to be running around, bouncing off the walls. I'm telling
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: he he never gets tired. That's who you have as
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: your second round pick. Well, everybody else has given a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: lot of attention to Jadarian Price, and this, everly Sotle
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: is the first round pick. Sounds like there's a lot
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks to look forward to with the second
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: round pick Bud Clark. We're helping to have the third
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: round pick. Julian Neil's college coach on the air perhaps tomorrow.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: He played at Arkansas after three years at Fresno State.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Today eleven o'clock, you're gonna hear from Mariners Gary Hill
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Junior out of the Mariners broadcast booth in Minneapolis. He'll
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: join us next whom the Seahawks have signed, has undrafted
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: rookie free agents for the rookie mini camp this week.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Onto the ninety man roster. That's next on ninety three
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFM. This morning the News Tribune and Neewstribune
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: dot com. I posted a story about the competitor scale
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday that John Schneider used to draft
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. The a Seahawks eight man draft class is
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: based on a competitor scale. Yes, self efficacy is one
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of the ingredients to the competitors scale that John Schneider
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: used to evaluate draft prospects this year. Why he doesn't
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: want guys to come in in awe of Super Bowl
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: champions when as they did ten years ago, twelve years ago,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: after the Seahawks won the Super Bowl at the end
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of the twenty thirteen season, he brought in what he
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: said were guys who were in awe of Richard Sherman, Camp, Chancellor,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Earl Thomas, Michael Bennett, Cliff Favril, and the competition in practices,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and the whole team suffered because of it. And to
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: hear Snyder tell it, it was one of the reasons
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: that they dipped and didn't go back to the Super
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Bowl for eleven years. And so this year the draft
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: was out of the prism of competitiveness and they drafted
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: on a competitors. They actually assigned a number to these
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: guys Jedarion Price, Bud Clark, julian Neale. They have both Stevens.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: They have a number assigned to them on the competitive
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: competitor scale. And they were highly rated, obviously, which is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: why they were their first four picks in the draft. Heck,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they traded back into the fifth round. They traded a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: pick from next year's stash, a fourth round pick to
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: take both Stevens, the All American guard from Iowa, because
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: of his competitiveness, because they didn't want wallflowers just an
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: on and gawking at the Super Bowl. Champions are going
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to be practicing West starting in mini camps next month.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: So that's at the News Tribune dot Com that I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: found it very fascinating. That's not something I mean when
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you try to explain what the Seahawks do and the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: draft board, that's proprietory information. It's competitor scale. Nobody know
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah's or milk Kiper's or anybody assessing that for
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks off a game film also this week to
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: have a rookie mini camp on the field are going
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to be their new free agent rookie free agent signings
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: they've signed since the draft ended on Saturday. They're now
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: seven reported signings. There's room to sign eight. The Seahawks
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: have ninety one men technically on the roster because Frederica
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Morange is a center counts as an international allotment. He
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: was there last year, he's coming back this year and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: because he's an international player in the international development program
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: for the NFL allows the Seahawks to have an extra
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: player on the roster, so they actually have ninety one.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: So they have eight remaining spots after releasing Cam Akers yesterday,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the veteran running back. Here's who the Seahawks have signed
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: as undrafted free agents udfa's as they're called. Levi Wentz,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver from Kansas. Aiden Hubbard, the edge from Northwestern.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I talked about him. He had seven and a half
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: sacks in a Big Ten last year. Michael Briscoe, wide
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: receiver from cal Poly. Sayesa Omalo from Kansas State. He's
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: a three hundred and forty five pound nose tackle. Lance
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Mason tight end from Wisconsin. Devin Deal linebacker from TCU
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: where second round pick Bug Clark went to and then added.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Since we talked about this yesterday, became known and actually
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: I believe Oklahoma's football team publicized this. Marvin Jones, junior
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: and edge from Oklahoma. He's played for Georgia, Florida STATEU.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: He's a former five star recruit to UGA prototype size
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: for an NFL ddresser six five, two forty five. I
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: mean that sounds like he's right out of Central casting
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: and speed. He's a son of Marvin Jones, a Florida
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: State All American who then played ten NFL seasons. He
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: just hasn't had the productivity to match his physical skills,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: which is why he didn't get drafted. And the way
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: this works is as soon as the draft ends, Chris,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I think you know this, but some of our listeners
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: might know this, not even as soon as the draft
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and before it ends. I mean at the start of
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Saturday and Friday night. Actually, John Schneider was talking about
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: how they were already preparing to sign their undrafted free
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: agents and they have to put in a recruiting pitch
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: and a sales pitch. It's two things. The recruiting pitch
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: about the Seattle culture, and it's a little easier when
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: you're the Super Bowl champs. Come to join the Super
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Bowl champs. That's the sales pitch, right, But you also
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: have a business side. We'll give you a ten thousand
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: dollars signing bills. We'll give you a thirty thousand dollars
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: signing bulls. That's done the very high side. We'll give
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: you a five thousand dollars signing bonus, whatever. And then
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: if you stick, you get a rookie contract at the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: minimum salary. Mostly now, Sometimes if you really want and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: they're in a derby with other teams to sign an
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agent, you end up offering them a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: guaranteed rookie contract, and that's rare. But if you have
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: spots on your roster that you anticipate will stay open
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: into the training camp for a UDFA. You could offer
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: him a guaranteed deal. That's unusual, but it has happened.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: No word yet on any of these guys whether they
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: have that, and I would doubt a Super Bowl champion
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I would have too many guaranteed UDFA deals assuring them
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: of roster spots on a competitive team like this, especially
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: whether it has twenty one of twenty two returning starters.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so tho's your two edges. Aiden Hubbard seven
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and a half sacks for Northwestern in the Big Ten
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: last year. Some people, the scouts on him say, well,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: he's not bendy, he's not flexible for his size. He's
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: got productivity though, And Marvin Jones Junior, the edge from
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma six five two forty five. They'll be on the
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: field at Seahawks headquarters this weekend for the three day
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: rookie mini camp that they have. Still their veterans are
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: still in the first phase of OTAs and they won't
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: be out there. They are also Jake Getzlaf, the former
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: BYU Than Tulane quarterback I learned confirm that he is
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: going to be invited as a tryout player really a camp,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: a rookie camp mini camp arm with a chance to
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: impress and potentially get signed out of that. They do
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: sign a couple guys a year out of the rookie
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: mini camp tryout guys who then get rookie free agent contracts,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: and this will be flexed. So the seven or eight
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: guys they've signed already for this week probably all won't
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: stick on their way into training camp, and so so
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: it goes. The roster turn continues, and again Dante Fowler
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: has visited the Seahawks. A veteran edge rushers played out
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: about a decade in the NFL. He's out there in
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: their back pocket as someone they could now sign. Because
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the COMPIC formula for veteran free agents ended yesterday, any
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: free agent signed after yesterday does not count toward the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: COMPIC formula for next year. The Seahawks anticipating to have
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: four for having lost their free agents this offseason, which
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: would give them eleven total picks in what they consider
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: to be a much stronger draft next year. All might say.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Our coverage at the News Tribune Dot commune to go there
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: right now. Also subscribe if you went for ninety nine
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: cents for one month. That's a pretty good deal. That
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: comes down to what three cents of thirty cents a day,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: not even thirty days for ninety nine cents. That's pretty good.
