Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: Getting someone mentioned going to this offense to be the
- 0:09Speaker 1: secret high five right time sevent eight home run judge.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Number Peter's TV on the call last night, Josh Naylor
- 0:36Speaker 2: tying the game up at two with that home run
- 0:38Speaker 2: and then mysteriously.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Left the game with a uh an injury, which we
- 0:42Speaker 1: didn't get an update on until after the game was over.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Turns out he had a backspasm while swinging. So yeah,
- 0:49Speaker 1: that's that back did a hero U there in that moment,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and so he had to come out of the game
- 0:56Speaker 1: and the Mariners still end up pulling it off three
- 0:58Speaker 1: to two in ten innings, call Young with the game
- 1:00Speaker 1: winning RBI. In extras it is just a backspasm, that's
- 1:05Speaker 1: how they are positioning it. So I think there's a
- 1:07Speaker 1: good chance with treatment, we could see Josh Naylor back
- 1:10Speaker 1: in the lineup tonight. But then again, I think there's
- 1:12Speaker 1: a good chance that he won't be in the lineup tonight.
- 1:15Speaker 1: We shall see. Logan Gilbert will get the start tonight
- 1:18Speaker 1: for the MS at six forty against the Mets. They
- 1:20Speaker 1: will counter with young Jonah Tong Tong to Tong Tong Tong.
- 1:25Speaker 3: That's gonna be great all night.
- 1:27Speaker 1: In my head Yeah, six forty first pitch as the
- 1:30Speaker 1: Mariners look to make it eight straight wins. They are
- 1:34Speaker 1: on a bit of a roll right now. Let's keep
- 1:36Speaker 1: it going. Let's take a look at your other headlines.
- 1:39Speaker 1: They are brought to you by Frostbrewed Corps Light Choose
- 1:43Speaker 1: Chill the big story, We'll get to that in a moment.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs start tonight. It'll be Las Vegas versus Carolina,
- 1:50Speaker 1: Game number one taking place this evening. The NBA Finals
- 1:55Speaker 1: won't start until Wednesday. That will be the Knicks at
- 1:58Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs. Go Mitch Johnson, Go Spurs. Melinda
- 2:03Speaker 1: French Gates joins one roof as a big time investor
- 2:08Speaker 1: in both their efforts to lure the Sonics back here
- 2:12Speaker 1: to Seattle. And of course I'm sure she's going to
- 2:15Speaker 1: be a part of the Kraken ownership group as well.
- 2:18Speaker 1: So that was big news. We'll talk to Chris Daniels
- 2:21Speaker 1: about that today at nine point thirty. Texas Tech had
- 2:23Speaker 1: an interesting day Yesterday. Their quarterback Brendan Soorsby had a
- 2:28Speaker 1: two hour hearing to determine whether or not, as a
- 2:31Speaker 1: gambling degenerate he will be allowed to play football this
- 2:35Speaker 1: year for the Red Raiders, or if he has in
- 2:37Speaker 1: fact crossed the line by just being too gambling at
- 2:42Speaker 1: Texas Tech or prior to arriving at Texas Tech. Meanwhile,
- 2:46Speaker 1: their softball team nothing but celebratory as they won two
- 2:50Speaker 1: games against Alabama yesterday and the final four they had
- 2:53Speaker 1: to win them both and they make it to the
- 2:55Speaker 1: finals to take on Texas starting on Wednesday. That will
- 2:58Speaker 1: be a three game series. Speaking of series, the one
- 3:02Speaker 1: series continues today here on Chuck and Buck. Rob Stayton's
- 3:06Speaker 1: going to join us. He'll break down one Seahawk player
- 3:09Speaker 1: for one entire interview at eight o'clock. We'll probably also
- 3:12Speaker 1: talk to him about the trades that were swung yesterday
- 3:14Speaker 1: in the NFL aj Brown to the New England Patriots
- 3:17Speaker 1: for a first round pick and a fifth round pick.
- 3:20Speaker 1: And the Biggie Miles Garrett has been traded to the
- 3:24Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams from the Cleveland Browns for young defensive
- 3:28Speaker 1: end Chaired Verse, a first round pick, a second round pick,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and a third round pick in the next to three
- 3:34Speaker 1: INFL drafts. And so with that, we had to bring
- 3:37Speaker 1: in the big guns today to talk about this monster
- 3:40Speaker 1: of a story. Joining us now is our QB one.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Hugh Millan is with us. Good morning, sir, what's happening gang,
- 3:46Speaker 1: Good to be with you, Great to be with you.
- 3:48Speaker 1: What was your reaction to that deal yesterday?
- 3:52Speaker 4: Well, it evolved a little bit over the day, because
- 3:57Speaker 4: you know, I wanted to know what they gave up,
- 3:59Speaker 4: and and you know, I have somewhat a fuzzy vision
- 4:05Speaker 4: of how players at the age of thirty, at that
- 4:08Speaker 4: position even can have a drop off, and and I've
- 4:11Speaker 4: got some numbers that can bring more focus into that point.
- 4:15Speaker 4: But then, as I, you know, endeavored to sit down
- 4:19Speaker 4: and say, okay, I gotta do a lot of tape
- 4:20Speaker 4: study on Miles Garrett, and I'm going to do a
- 4:23Speaker 4: fair amount on Jared Versu as well, just to see
- 4:26Speaker 4: what the Rams traded for. Essentially, when we're talking about
- 4:31Speaker 4: the twenty twenty six year and I, you know, I thought, well, hey,
- 4:38Speaker 4: we don't know for sure that the twenty twenty six
- 4:41Speaker 4: that you know, certainly beyond twenty twenty six, you could
- 4:44Speaker 4: say this is good for the Seahawks. There's an argument
- 4:47Speaker 4: to be made there. For twenty twenty six, I thought
- 4:50Speaker 4: it was a little bit more in question. Well, then
- 4:51Speaker 4: the more I spent watching the tape. It's very hard
- 4:55Speaker 4: for me to come forth with the argument that the
- 5:00Speaker 4: aren't better in twenty twenty six. I mean, you know,
- 5:03Speaker 4: just to put this in perspective there now, Miles Garrett
- 5:08Speaker 4: turned thirty late December, and so he was twenty nine
- 5:13Speaker 4: most of the year. But the NFL just to have
- 5:17Speaker 4: apples at apples the way they tabulate that it's what's
- 5:21Speaker 4: your birthday on or your agent at the December thirty first.
- 5:26Speaker 4: So here's the four guys that the top sack achievers
- 5:35Speaker 4: aged thirty or under in the history of the NFL.
- 5:37Speaker 4: There's only four over one hundred. Notice how how these
- 5:41Speaker 4: first three are clumped together.
- 5:43Speaker 1: TJ.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Watt at one hundred and one, he's number four, Jared
- 5:46Speaker 4: Allen he's number three at one hundred and five, and
- 5:49Speaker 4: Reggie White at one hundred and eight, who's number two.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Number one is Miles Garrett at one hundred and twenty
- 5:57Speaker 4: four and a half. So and the gap between one
- 6:02Speaker 4: and two, the gap between Miles Garrett and Reggie White
- 6:05Speaker 4: is greater than the gap between second and twelfth on
- 6:09Speaker 4: the all time list. So we're talking about a guy
- 6:12Speaker 4: who is in Canton it's not in pencil, it's not
- 6:17Speaker 4: in pen it's already been emblazoned in brass. And he
- 6:21Speaker 4: doesn't have to worry about losing his hair because his
- 6:24Speaker 4: bust has already been made. He's in Canton.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no question about it. A phenomenal football player,
- 6:34Speaker 1: there's no question on that front. And so how much
- 6:37Speaker 1: better does he does one guy? I mean, you are
- 6:40Speaker 1: already good at that position. How much better does Miles
- 6:44Speaker 1: Garrett then make the rams?
- 6:48Speaker 4: Well, I compared him to Jared Verse, and really there's
- 6:51Speaker 4: no comparison. We're talking about a class of player that
- 6:55Speaker 4: I mean, if you think the great defense, the edge
- 6:58Speaker 4: players of all time, you want to say Lawrence Taylor,
- 7:01Speaker 4: Reggie White, Bruce Smith, whatever, whatever league you can put,
- 7:07Speaker 4: he's in every league. So then you throw on the
- 7:10Speaker 4: tape and you look at Jared Vers, who's a very
- 7:12Speaker 4: good player, I mean a Pro Bowl ish level player,
- 7:15Speaker 4: but he can't compete with that class of player. I mean,
- 7:18Speaker 4: if you look at Miles Garrett just watching the tape,
- 7:22Speaker 4: here's the guy that the first thing you noticed before
- 7:24Speaker 4: the balls even snapped is his frame six to four
- 7:27Speaker 4: in a quarter, which is a fifty eighth percentile on height,
- 7:31Speaker 4: but his arm length is ninety fourth percentile. In fact,
- 7:36Speaker 4: out a two hundred and three defensive ends who had
- 7:38Speaker 4: a sack or more last year, he had the tenth
- 7:43Speaker 4: longest arms. So the old saying low man wins. That's great.
- 7:47Speaker 4: We say, well, you want tall guys. You want tall
- 7:50Speaker 4: guys because you generally want the correlation of the height
- 7:54Speaker 4: to arm length. But he has the arm length, his strength,
- 7:58Speaker 4: his forty one in vertical. I had to I had
- 8:01Speaker 4: to say, there's no way he jumped forty one.
- 8:03Speaker 1: It's no way.
- 8:03Speaker 4: I had to. I had to check like four sources
- 8:05Speaker 4: before I had come on to the radio with this.
- 8:08Speaker 4: It's the highest ever for any player ever at two
- 8:11Speaker 4: hundred and seventy pounds more and he was two seventy two.
- 8:14Speaker 4: You say, well, you don't really jump much in on
- 8:15Speaker 4: the field. That's not the point. The point is is
- 8:18Speaker 4: is the power which was defined to me when I
- 8:21Speaker 4: was playing in the in the weight rooms, his strength
- 8:24Speaker 4: over time, his power, and then that shows up on
- 8:27Speaker 4: field is how twitchy and how powerful. And he had
- 8:30Speaker 4: thirty three reps on the on the bench ninety fifth
- 8:33Speaker 4: percent of so the strength, the frame, he's thick, tall enough,
- 8:38Speaker 4: but then has leveraged long arms I mean like and
- 8:41Speaker 4: his four six four forty times the seventh best ever
- 8:45Speaker 4: for anybody over two seventy. So, so the athletic profile
- 8:49Speaker 4: is there. And then and then stats. I mentioned what
- 8:51Speaker 4: he's done in his career, but last year UH twenty
- 8:55Speaker 4: three sacks obviously a record setting number one Havoc plays.
- 8:58Speaker 4: This is an NFL stat that got off of their
- 9:01Speaker 4: portal that is defined as one of five things. Tackles
- 9:05Speaker 4: for lost force, fumbels, interceptions, pass breakups, are sacked. He's
- 9:09Speaker 4: number one in the entire league at any position in
- 9:12Speaker 4: Havoc plays. Hits on a quarterback number two, pressures number four.
- 9:16Speaker 4: Now he's a durable guy. Played a lot of snaps,
- 9:18Speaker 4: so his pressure percentage at seventeen and a half percent,
- 9:23Speaker 4: that's number thirty three in the league.
- 9:25Speaker 5: But that is.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Offset by this stat. The double team that is defined
- 9:34Speaker 4: the NFL says point four seconds or more engaged by
- 9:38Speaker 4: two or more blockers. He had one hundred and eighty
- 9:41Speaker 4: six rushes where he was double team. That's the most
- 9:44Speaker 4: since twenty eighteen. So yeah, really dominant and when you
- 9:48Speaker 4: look at verse, he almost looks like a JV player
- 9:52Speaker 4: compared to Miles Garrett when you throw on the end
- 9:54Speaker 4: zone copy, which is how lineman study the tape, the
- 9:58Speaker 4: game tape. I'm looking at the same stuff the Seahawks
- 10:00Speaker 4: and the Rams and the Browns are looking at, and
- 10:04Speaker 4: you just see, you know, just an entirely different cut
- 10:06Speaker 4: of stake.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Wow. QB one Hugh Millan is with us here to
- 10:10Speaker 1: talk about the Miles Garrett trade yesterday sent shockwaves throughout
- 10:13Speaker 1: the National Football League and of course here where we're
- 10:16Speaker 1: World champs in Seattle. How are we going to contend
- 10:19Speaker 1: with this new foe. Charles Cross is pretty good, but
- 10:23Speaker 1: is he good enough? Are we going to have to
- 10:26Speaker 1: prepare double teams for Miles Garrett twice this season, maybe
- 10:31Speaker 1: three times this season? Or do you think that Charles
- 10:34Speaker 1: Cross or any left tackle can hold their own against
- 10:37Speaker 1: this beast?
- 10:38Speaker 4: Well, you got to have a plan, certainly, and you
- 10:41Speaker 4: know you're gonna, you know, turn the protection half slider turn,
- 10:46Speaker 4: which means that you generally want the sen He's a
- 10:49Speaker 4: right end, by the way, I think he was number
- 10:52Speaker 4: one and plays off the right end and versus was
- 10:56Speaker 4: a right end, So that's a swap of the same position.
- 11:00Speaker 4: He doesn't always play it right end, but he has
- 11:02Speaker 4: the highest percentage of playing at right end. So if
- 11:04Speaker 4: if the Rams are only in a four man rush,
- 11:08Speaker 4: you would want the center to slide to the left
- 11:11Speaker 4: and maybe depending on the front, the center can get
- 11:14Speaker 4: the next guy in and then Gray's abel can go
- 11:17Speaker 4: out and help and and you can get a double team,
- 11:20Speaker 4: or you can you can have a tight end. Obviously
- 11:22Speaker 4: you can keep a tight end in well that that's
- 11:25Speaker 4: gonna that's gonna hinder you against zone coverages because the
- 11:29Speaker 4: tight end who was was supposed to it. If you're
- 11:32Speaker 4: not the primary at least he's supposed to be in
- 11:34Speaker 4: the pattern to influence zone defenders to that side, you're
- 11:38Speaker 4: gonna lose that.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Uh.
- 11:40Speaker 4: You know, you can chip running backs and what have you,
- 11:42Speaker 4: but sometimes depending on the capability of the chip or
- 11:46Speaker 4: sometimes that messes up the tackle more and gets gets
- 11:49Speaker 4: him off balance or they collide into each other. So
- 11:52Speaker 4: there's there's there's no one hardened, agreed upon way to
- 11:57Speaker 4: double team, but you're gonna do You're going to have
- 12:00Speaker 4: a plan to do it. And if Cross can't hold up,
- 12:03Speaker 4: you can't just say, well, you know, we're going to
- 12:05Speaker 4: shut down the office today, you still got to function.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Do the Seahawks have to make some sort of counter
- 12:12Speaker 1: move to this that you the Rams just got better yesterday,
- 12:17Speaker 1: so now it's on John Schneider to find a player
- 12:20Speaker 1: that can counteract that. Or do they just go with, Hey,
- 12:24Speaker 1: we're in a great position, young team coming off a
- 12:27Speaker 1: Super Bowl. We're just going to count on improving and
- 12:29Speaker 1: just doing it the right way the rest of the time.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Well, I kind of put that question into two categories
- 12:37Speaker 4: of answers. I don't think that you do anything to
- 12:41Speaker 4: the Seahawks offense. Uh, you know, there's no offensive per
- 12:45Speaker 4: se to specifically deal with Miles Garrett. You're not going
- 12:49Speaker 4: to replace Charles Cross, right, You're you know you know.
- 12:52Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think you're gonna go out and
- 12:53Speaker 4: get some kind of elite blocking tight end that you say, well,
- 12:59Speaker 4: you know, we're going to help Charles Cross with him,
- 13:01Speaker 4: and certainly there's no tight end the league that can
- 13:03Speaker 4: handle him. So so I don't I don't think in
- 13:05Speaker 4: that regard. I think I think you're probably asking the
- 13:07Speaker 4: broader question, Hey, do the Seahawks make some more impact acquisition,
- 13:13Speaker 4: perhaps on the defense, not necessarily to contend with Miles Garrett. Uh,
- 13:18Speaker 4: you know, directly, but maybe but just an indirect response
- 13:23Speaker 4: to make the team better. Uh that's fine. I mean
- 13:26Speaker 4: I think you can categorize it. Look the the the
- 13:29Speaker 4: Rams are going pot committed on this, right, I mean,
- 13:31Speaker 4: they are playing the short game and it's logical for
- 13:33Speaker 4: them for a couple of reason. Number one and most importantly,
- 13:36Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford. And not only was the MV, he the MVP.
- 13:41Speaker 4: In my tape study of Matthew Stafford, I thought he
- 13:43Speaker 4: was an MVP that you only kind of see that
- 13:47Speaker 4: performance every three, four or five years. That wasn't just
- 13:51Speaker 4: you know, uh oh yeah, he's the best this year.
- 13:53Speaker 4: That was the best performance I've seen. If you had
- 13:56Speaker 4: a five year MVP, he was the MVP based on that.
- 13:59Speaker 4: I mean, he was that good in my opinion. So
- 14:02Speaker 4: now his health has been in question. He didn't throw
- 14:05Speaker 4: all through August, So I don't know what he needs
- 14:08Speaker 4: to come forward and help the rest of humanity. How
- 14:10Speaker 4: he solved that dog one back problem, because for him
- 14:14Speaker 4: to play at that level after having not been able
- 14:17Speaker 4: to essentially move back in August is quite an accomplishment
- 14:21Speaker 4: by somebody. But you know, so you said they acquired
- 14:29Speaker 4: Trent McDuffie. They obviously with this Miles Garrett, they're all in.
- 14:33Speaker 4: They're playing a short game for logical reasons, and they've
- 14:36Speaker 4: done it before in twenty twenty one, and where I thought,
- 14:41Speaker 4: you know, I'm kind of eating my popcorn watching the
- 14:44Speaker 4: twenty one Super Bowl against the Bengals and say, all right,
- 14:47Speaker 4: all right, you got that one, but you're gonna have
- 14:49Speaker 4: to pay the piper at some point. You know, this
- 14:52Speaker 4: is gonna be fun watching you guys. You know, splat
- 14:55Speaker 4: not bounce, And yet it seemed like it didn't happen,
- 14:59Speaker 4: so less need the GM old buddy Kevin Demoff, the president,
- 15:04Speaker 4: who was the son of Marvin Demoff, who is my
- 15:07Speaker 4: agent all through, uh through my career. I mean, the
- 15:10Speaker 4: people in charge at the Rams, they sure as hell
- 15:14Speaker 4: know what they do, and they they they've won a
- 15:16Speaker 4: short game Super Bowl in a manner that didn't seem
- 15:18Speaker 4: to cripple them in the subsequent years. So now if
- 15:21Speaker 4: ty Simpson can't play, then they're gonna be in some
- 15:24Speaker 4: trouble uh down the line. But but I think the
- 15:26Speaker 4: Seahorks are playing more of the long game, so I
- 15:29Speaker 4: think Schneider will possibly look, you know, but I don't
- 15:33Speaker 4: think this is gonna, you know, cause him to deviate
- 15:36Speaker 4: from their philosophy.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you, and I don't want him to.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I mean things are going pretty well, you know,
- 15:44Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good situation that we've got up here
- 15:47Speaker 1: in the position.
- 15:49Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you got a younger quarterback by ten years,
- 15:51Speaker 4: and and uh, you know, a young defense, and and
- 15:54Speaker 4: you've got ah, this is kind of John Schneider what
- 15:57Speaker 4: I call John Schneider three point zero. I mean, the
- 16:00Speaker 4: first seven years with with Carrol's was incredible, won nine
- 16:04Speaker 4: playoff games. The second seven years won one playoff game. Uh,
- 16:10Speaker 4: and then now we had to say, okay, how do
- 16:12Speaker 4: Mike McDonald and uh John Schnyder mesh and and obviously
- 16:18Speaker 4: these past couple of years showing that the acquisition of uh,
- 16:22Speaker 4: you know, what they've assembled that they they they are
- 16:24Speaker 4: working not just well in concert, they're working the best
- 16:29Speaker 4: in concert arguably. And so so I think they feel like, hey,
- 16:33Speaker 4: we just we just plot our course and and over
- 16:36Speaker 4: the long haul, even if the Rams were to get
- 16:38Speaker 4: us this now that they're they're not conceding that. Let
- 16:41Speaker 4: me let me say that you know, they would bristle
- 16:44Speaker 4: that assumption, but I think that they just are going
- 16:46Speaker 4: to hold to the long game.
- 16:47Speaker 1: It is uh, it's it's quite the statement that they
- 16:51Speaker 1: made yesterday. You now have the reigning MVP and the
- 16:54Speaker 1: reigning Defensive Player of the Year on the same ball,
- 16:57Speaker 1: on the same roster. I should say, yeah, I imagine
- 17:00Speaker 1: if Dan Marino and Lawrence Taylor would have hooked up
- 17:03Speaker 1: once upon a time.
- 17:06Speaker 4: You don't see these kind of pairings often, right, I mean,
- 17:09Speaker 4: you know Hall of Famers, Yeah, and you know, and
- 17:13Speaker 4: just watching the tape, you know, I'm here, I'm rattling
- 17:15Speaker 4: off stats, but watching the tape, you know, the guy Garrett,
- 17:21Speaker 4: he you know, he has every you know, the first thing, Okay,
- 17:23Speaker 4: does he have the speed? Can he turn the corner?
- 17:26Speaker 1: Yes?
- 17:27Speaker 4: His speed to power absolutely? What talked about his the
- 17:31Speaker 4: bull rush, just the straight bull rush, Yes, he power.
- 17:34Speaker 4: And then he has this thing, this kind of euro
- 17:36Speaker 4: step whereas the right end he's he comes up on
- 17:40Speaker 4: a left tackle and his outside leg he kind of
- 17:43Speaker 4: takes a big step that would be his right leg,
- 17:45Speaker 4: but then he like he crossovers like an NBA player
- 17:48Speaker 4: going down the middle of the lane with this big
- 17:50Speaker 4: euro step. Then he goes straight laterally with this huge
- 17:55Speaker 4: euro step to his left foot and then accelerates. He
- 17:59Speaker 4: pulled that move that I just described against Trent Williams
- 18:02Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame bound left tackle for the forty
- 18:06Speaker 4: nine ers. He got the sack on rock Party. The
- 18:09Speaker 4: NFL registered it at two point three seconds. That is
- 18:12Speaker 4: just freaky. And Trent Williams Burriley laid a fingernail on
- 18:18Speaker 4: Garrett Well and I just like that was just jaw dropping.
- 18:22Speaker 4: And then he does that same move and then goes
- 18:24Speaker 4: back out to the outside, so it's an out in
- 18:26Speaker 4: out euro step like he's got this whole bevy. I
- 18:29Speaker 4: think the only thing he doesn't have great hands, He
- 18:32Speaker 4: just uses his strength and feet. And then I would say,
- 18:37Speaker 4: lastly on his profile, he you know everybody talks about
- 18:42Speaker 4: his first step, I would say, he reminds me, have
- 18:45Speaker 4: you ever written a driven a V six Turbo in
- 18:49Speaker 4: the day. You know where you punch the accelerator and
- 18:53Speaker 4: it just takes a split second longer, Like I don't
- 18:56Speaker 4: think Miles great Garrett has an elite first step. He's
- 18:59Speaker 4: too big, But his second step and and his third
- 19:04Speaker 4: and fourth like once just a split second where once
- 19:07Speaker 4: he gets going that acceleration, and of course his body's
- 19:10Speaker 4: built like a HEMI if I'm going to continue the analogy.
- 19:13Speaker 4: So that's that's the profile that I would summarize from
- 19:16Speaker 4: watching the tape. It's it's it's a it's impressive, it's devastating.
- 19:20Speaker 4: And I think Charles Cross, you know, is chugging some
- 19:24Speaker 4: tombs this morning and and last night. You know, if
- 19:29Speaker 4: he happened to watch the tape I watched.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Uh, well, get like you said earlier, get out the popcorn.
- 19:35Speaker 1: It's gonna be a very interesting here Seahawks versus Rams.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I'm not sure the forty nine ers can hang in
- 19:42Speaker 1: this conversation anymore.
- 19:43Speaker 4: So, well, I hope you're right in that on the
- 19:46Speaker 4: forty nine ers front. You know, if we can clear
- 19:48Speaker 4: things out, don't have to deal with it till late
- 19:51Speaker 4: in the season. But I think the NFL looks at
- 19:54Speaker 4: at these two teams as as the clear you know, uh,
- 19:59Speaker 4: the clear classes of the league. In Seattle, they've lost
- 20:03Speaker 4: a little more, so probably figure they're you know, if
- 20:08Speaker 4: you're a gambling man, you say they're just about neck
- 20:11Speaker 4: and neck.
- 20:12Speaker 1: All right, man, great stuff, as always, Thank you so
- 20:14Speaker 1: much appreciate it. Thank here he is Humell and r
- 20:17Speaker 1: QB one here at kh A R breaking it down.
- 20:20Speaker 1: Of course, that's the that's the call you make when
- 20:23Speaker 1: a Mile scare trade something of that significance goes down,
- 20:26Speaker 1: you got to get huge thoughts on it. So we're
- 20:28Speaker 1: glad we could catch up with him here this morning.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Coming up next though, on the radio Progrim it's ABC's
- 20:34Speaker 1: of the M's time. That's right. We've got a baseball
- 20:38Speaker 1: team that's won seven straight games. Sports Radio ninety three
- 20:41Speaker 1: point three kh A R FM, and we do have
- 20:43Speaker 1: the ABCS of the MS coming up in a moment,
- 20:45Speaker 1: brought to you by the Sunset Auto Family and Sumner
- 20:47Speaker 1: and Auburn. You just get more at Sunset and people
- 20:51Speaker 1: do like that. I've been told that ABC's come your
- 20:55Speaker 1: way here in a little bit. I do want to
- 20:57Speaker 1: let you know that Rob Staton for the first time
- 21:00Speaker 1: is going to be joining us in our one series
- 21:02Speaker 1: at eight o'clock. So we've already talked a lot about
- 21:04Speaker 1: Miles Scarett joining the Rams here this morning. You just
- 21:07Speaker 1: missed Hugh probably kicking yourself over that. Just Hughes breakdown
- 21:12Speaker 1: of it at seven oh five but we have a
- 21:14Speaker 1: lot more on Miles Scarett coming your way. But certainly
- 21:17Speaker 1: we have a baseball team playing it's best baseball right now,
- 21:20Speaker 1: playing Mariners baseball right now, and figuring out how to
- 21:23Speaker 1: win games. Late last night, a three to two victory
- 21:26Speaker 1: over the New York Mets to make it seven in
- 21:28Speaker 1: a row. And the formula is there. It's starting pitching.
- 21:33Speaker 1: It's a bullpen that seems fresh and fantastic, just like you. Exactly, Oh,
- 21:39Speaker 1: I need a T shirt?
- 21:40Speaker 5: Yeah, says that, Yes, simply see, I'll get on that
- 21:42Speaker 5: right expression.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Fantastic.
- 21:45Speaker 1: So that's going well and then just getting just enough
- 21:48Speaker 1: offense and actually knocking in runs. I mean, we should
- 21:52Speaker 1: have been on Saquatch last night. Turns out we didn't
- 21:55Speaker 1: need one, because Cole Young ends up getting a base
- 21:58Speaker 1: hit off the end of the bat for a game
- 21:59Speaker 1: win single that scores Randy Rose Arena. So where's the
- 22:02Speaker 1: alphabet gonna take us here this morning? Well, we left
- 22:06Speaker 1: off of the letter D yesterday. D is for Dan
- 22:09Speaker 1: Dan Wilson, and I realized that a lot of you
- 22:13Speaker 1: are still crushing him for this, But I think we've
- 22:15Speaker 1: seen some progress in the area of Dan Wilson and
- 22:19Speaker 1: his lefty righty platoons that he is doing. I think
- 22:24Speaker 1: that was wonderful. I suggested it yesterday. The Mets are
- 22:29Speaker 1: not sticking with Austin Warren. Everybody knew that. Beyond an
- 22:32Speaker 1: inning or two, he only went one. You're gonna see
- 22:34Speaker 1: Sean Maniyah most likely coming in soon into the game.
- 22:38Speaker 1: But there was also a chance they could go to
- 22:41Speaker 1: a long reliever who was right handed in that situation
- 22:45Speaker 1: if you built up too much of a right handed lineup,
- 22:48Speaker 1: and so he did the little balancing act. He had
- 22:51Speaker 1: Raleyan Refsninder in the lineup and the same time, which
- 22:54Speaker 1: we rarely ever see, and then he just kind of
- 22:56Speaker 1: had to write it out. You know, they brought in Maniah.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I'm not going to take out Rayleigh. But in the
- 23:02Speaker 1: seventh inning they did take out Raley, and they brought
- 23:05Speaker 1: in Patrick Wisdom, and he didn't come through. He was
- 23:07Speaker 1: zero for two. He certainly did not come through for
- 23:10Speaker 1: the team last night. But to me, that's progress. To me,
- 23:12Speaker 1: those are correct moves. They don't always work out, those
- 23:16Speaker 1: are correct moves in that situation. And so I think
- 23:19Speaker 1: what we're seeing here recently out of Dan is him
- 23:22Speaker 1: getting his arms around this getting a handle on how
- 23:25Speaker 1: he should be platooning when he should be pinch hitting.
- 23:28Speaker 1: I see progress.
- 23:29Speaker 3: I've seen it as well.
- 23:30Speaker 5: And it is funny though, because I think we are
- 23:32Speaker 5: so accustomed to being irritated with his moves. We got
- 23:35Speaker 5: a text when we came in this morning that was
- 23:37Speaker 5: why the f did he pinch hit for Naylor? The
- 23:39Speaker 5: person didn't have their TV volume on, so they didn't
- 23:41Speaker 5: realize Naylor had been.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Hurt, but they were like, what are you doing?
- 23:45Speaker 5: So I felt bad just sitting there angry at Dan
- 23:47Speaker 5: Wilson for sixteen hours.
- 23:49Speaker 3: But luckily now they can be calmed.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and I know, and so we kind
- 23:54Speaker 1: of just jumped to this. But Luke Raley can't hit
- 23:56Speaker 1: left handers, he never has. I think it's a good
- 23:59Speaker 1: idea to platoon him. I think it is a good
- 24:01Speaker 1: idea to pinch hit him. I don't like pinch hitting
- 24:04Speaker 1: him too early, pinch hitting for him too early, because
- 24:07Speaker 1: I won him late. Like the Diamondbacks series was a
- 24:11Speaker 1: perfect example of that. They only have one left hander.
- 24:13Speaker 1: They can only play that trick one time. It's like
- 24:15Speaker 1: the scene with the the you know, the the green
- 24:18Speaker 1: Bomb and Game of thrones, you know, the you know,
- 24:22Speaker 1: the dwarf can only play that trick one time, think
- 24:25Speaker 1: about it for a second, and so that's that's what
- 24:28Speaker 1: they had to do in that situation. So I see
- 24:30Speaker 1: some progress there, and I think he's finally starting to
- 24:34Speaker 1: understand how he wants to incorporate this now. I just
- 24:37Speaker 1: brought up Byron Buckston's name yesterday on Day one a
- 24:40Speaker 1: trade season. That helps with a lot of strategy. If
- 24:43Speaker 1: you just can have a superstar playing the outfield every
- 24:47Speaker 1: day and you don't ever have to consider pinch.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Hitting for him, that would be nice.
- 24:52Speaker 1: That's how wonderful.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just imagining it.
- 24:55Speaker 5: Although the concern I think when we've brought up Buckston
- 24:59Speaker 5: is does he you have a no trade clause? But
- 25:01Speaker 5: then I was thinking, I mean a lot of people
- 25:02Speaker 5: have a no trade clause. You just have to have
- 25:04Speaker 5: the right trade partner that they'll agree to go to.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Yeah, he said last year he was never going to
- 25:09Speaker 1: waive it, and then all of a sudden he said,
- 25:11Speaker 1: I would for the right situation. How could this not
- 25:13Speaker 1: be the right situation playing for this team. He's already
- 25:16Speaker 1: accustomed to the life in the North.
- 25:18Speaker 3: There's at least a chance.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Uh oh, I think more than a chance. I think
- 25:21Speaker 1: if we trade it for Byron Bucks, and he'd be like,
- 25:23Speaker 1: where do I sign? All right? He is for Ewing.
- 25:28Speaker 1: We saw aj Ewing, who is one of the Mets
- 25:31Speaker 1: young prospects, and he's made quite a splash with the
- 25:33Speaker 1: New York Mets. And he made two good plays last night,
- 25:36Speaker 1: to very good plays, maybe even one great play. But
- 25:39Speaker 1: of course he did make one play in which he
- 25:41Speaker 1: timed out his dive so that he could be on
- 25:44Speaker 1: the highlights last night. And I just want to take
- 25:47Speaker 1: this time to again, I hope you appreciate that Cole
- 25:51Speaker 1: Young made a much better defensive play than either of
- 25:54Speaker 1: the aj Ewing plays last night. But I'm sure Ewing
- 25:58Speaker 1: got on all the highlights because he got his grass,
- 26:01Speaker 1: He got grass on his jersey. But Cole Young just
- 26:04Speaker 1: waited on a high chopper at second base and turns
- 26:08Speaker 1: the double play with a runner crossing right in front
- 26:12Speaker 1: of his face. Do you know the degree of difficulty
- 26:14Speaker 1: of that play? Do you know what this young man
- 26:17Speaker 1: is doing at second base so far for this baseball team.
- 26:21Speaker 1: I mean, this is the second time in a week
- 26:23Speaker 1: where I think he has made just a sensational play
- 26:28Speaker 1: that won't ever get on the highlight film because he
- 26:31Speaker 1: didn't leave his feet in order to do it. I
- 26:34Speaker 1: mean that was a great Once again, Cole Young authored
- 26:38Speaker 1: a great defensive play, even if the stupid umpire didn't
- 26:41Speaker 1: know the rules.
- 26:42Speaker 5: And I thought Cole Young's play was equally impressive, so
- 26:45Speaker 5: I think it should have made a highlight reel. And also,
- 26:48Speaker 5: does New York just have a thing with Ewing's They
- 26:50Speaker 5: like stars named ewing Is?
- 26:51Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yes they do know it's funny thing Dallas.
- 26:55Speaker 1: The TV show was originally supposed to be shot in
- 26:57Speaker 1: New York.
- 26:58Speaker 3: That makes so much more sense now, Jr. You right, sneaky.
- 27:03Speaker 1: That's how much they love you.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Yea makes sense, Patrick Jr.
- 27:08Speaker 1: And A pretty much the mount rushmore of you.
- 27:12Speaker 3: That's it right there?
- 27:14Speaker 1: All right. F is for fail And not only did
- 27:17Speaker 1: that umpire because I'm not done with that umpire? How
- 27:21Speaker 1: stupid are you, buddy? Like? What else? What else was
- 27:25Speaker 1: Cole Young supposed to do? And you literally wanted to
- 27:28Speaker 1: call interference on that play? Unreal? I am glad that
- 27:32Speaker 1: you had another umpire to tell you. I'm going to
- 27:35Speaker 1: try to cover for you on this, but you are
- 27:37Speaker 1: looking really dumb right now, like you don't know basic.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Rules, the basic rules.
- 27:44Speaker 1: But that's not who's going to be my fail. F
- 27:46Speaker 1: is for fail and I am directing that at the
- 27:50Speaker 1: Mariners television broadcast. Why do we do this? And I'm
- 27:55Speaker 1: not blaming Brad or Angie. This is all about the
- 27:58Speaker 1: Mariners not give updated information. I don't why why do
- 28:03Speaker 1: you protect this? You have a fan base that wants
- 28:07Speaker 1: to know things that you should be happy that you
- 28:10Speaker 1: have thousands of Mariner fans, tens of thousands, hundreds of
- 28:13Speaker 1: thousands of Mariners fans watching that really want to know
- 28:17Speaker 1: why Josh Naylor left the game.
- 28:19Speaker 5: I just told you about a guy who thought he
- 28:21Speaker 5: just got pinchiped for it because he had no clue
- 28:23Speaker 5: because there was no update.
- 28:24Speaker 1: You don't talk about it when a guy goes out.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing because I wanna blame Aaron
- 28:31Speaker 1: on this too. Number One, you don't need to protect
- 28:36Speaker 1: injury information like that. Dan then got to his press
- 28:38Speaker 1: conference and said it as casually as could be. Yeah,
- 28:41Speaker 1: he had a backspasm when he swung, and we just
- 28:45Speaker 1: you know, precaution took him out. But we don't think
- 28:47Speaker 1: it's going to be anything big we'll see, says a cash.
- 28:50Speaker 1: Why can't that be mentioned? This is not football. And
- 28:53Speaker 1: even in football, you have sideline reporters that get information
- 28:57Speaker 1: from the teams and pass it along.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Knee injury turned doubtful, right.
- 29:01Speaker 1: And that's in football when they can come back into
- 29:04Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, once a guy leaves the game, what
- 29:07Speaker 1: are you protecting? Why do you need to protect his
- 29:11Speaker 1: injury information? Let the audience know what's going on with
- 29:16Speaker 1: Josh Naylor, especially when it's something as simple as well,
- 29:21Speaker 1: he tweaked his back a little bit on that home
- 29:23Speaker 1: run swing and we just felt it was better to
- 29:25Speaker 1: take him out of the game. Why can't that be
- 29:27Speaker 1: told to Brad or Angie and relayed onto the broadcast.
- 29:32Speaker 1: And if you're not gonna do it, if you simply nope,
- 29:35Speaker 1: that's our policy. We're not gonna do it. We're not
- 29:37Speaker 1: gonna We're not going to tell our fans anything. Then
- 29:42Speaker 1: at least tell your play by play man to talk
- 29:45Speaker 1: about Josh Naylor not being in the game anymore. We
- 29:48Speaker 1: do this all the time. Somebody gets hurt and then
- 29:51Speaker 1: we act like it didn't happen. That was the biggest
- 29:54Speaker 1: story going on in the game, and we act like
- 29:57Speaker 1: there's a no hitter being thrown, which I have a
- 29:59Speaker 1: problem with in the beginning. In the beginning, you know
- 30:02Speaker 1: that we don't mention when a no hitter is being thrown.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You are the narrator to the
- 30:08Speaker 1: baseball season and to the baseball game, and you're not
- 30:11Speaker 1: going to talk about the biggest issues during a game.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Josh Naylor leaving with a mysterious injury is a big
- 30:20Speaker 1: deal in a baseball game. And not only do the
- 30:23Speaker 1: Mariners keep the information from getting to the sideline reporters,
- 30:27Speaker 1: the play by play man won't address it. And I
- 30:30Speaker 1: think it's a complete failure on the part of Mariners TV.
- 30:35Speaker 1: So John Stanton listens all the time. John put an
- 30:38Speaker 1: end to it. It's silly, It is ridiculous. There is
- 30:41Speaker 1: no reason that you can't update us in a game
- 30:44Speaker 1: when one of our star players leaves with a mysterious injury.
- 30:48Speaker 1: When you have the information right there at your fingertips,
- 30:51Speaker 1: and it's not going to hurt any person, any player,
- 30:54Speaker 1: It's not going to give any kind of strategic advantage
- 30:57Speaker 1: to the opponent. Nothing give us the information we shouldn't
- 31:00Speaker 1: have to wait till after the game is over to
- 31:03Speaker 1: find out that it's no big deal.
- 31:04Speaker 5: Well, and it didn't seem like we used to have
- 31:06Speaker 5: to find that out. It seems like a recent thing
- 31:08Speaker 5: because they used to. I know, when I was covering games,
- 31:10Speaker 5: they'd announce what in the press box, what it was
- 31:13Speaker 5: that the person was out with.
- 31:14Speaker 1: It's the point of having a sideline reporter, that is
- 31:17Speaker 1: the absolute There's no point in showing us what kind
- 31:21Speaker 1: of food you get in a suite. There's no point
- 31:24Speaker 1: to having a sideline reporter that like in the NFL,
- 31:28Speaker 1: just asked the head coach as he's coming off, how
- 31:31Speaker 1: did the offense look? How did the defense look?
- 31:33Speaker 3: What are you going to do in the second half?
- 31:35Speaker 1: Pointless gathering information in game that the fans and the
- 31:41Speaker 1: viewers don't have access to. That is the primary job
- 31:45Speaker 1: of the sideline reporter, and the Mariners won't let their
- 31:48Speaker 1: sideline reporters do their primary functions. Let us know what's
- 31:54Speaker 1: going on. We've had this with cal We've had this
- 31:56Speaker 1: with Julio. We've had star players who have left games
- 32:00Speaker 1: and we've got to go innings hours without knowing if
- 32:04Speaker 1: he's okay or not. It's ridiculous. Stop doing it, period,
- 32:08Speaker 1: end of story. I would agree, all right, coming out
- 32:11Speaker 1: next it is trade season and this is is this
- 32:14Speaker 1: going to be the biggest trade season of all time
- 32:16Speaker 1: because it looks like everybody has decided they're going to
- 32:19Speaker 1: join trade season. Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM.
- 32:24Speaker 1: I didn't mean gets so worked up after a seventh
- 32:26Speaker 1: straight win. A lot of good things. Don't want to
- 32:29Speaker 1: find the one bad thing. But it is very frustrating.
- 32:33Speaker 3: I get it.
- 32:33Speaker 1: I was just telling Ashley, remember Brian wu last year,
- 32:37Speaker 1: We're getting ready for the playoffs. He's our clear ace
- 32:40Speaker 1: and he leaves that game with the injury, and we're like,
- 32:44Speaker 1: what happened? What is going on? We didn't get an
- 32:47Speaker 1: update the entire game on what's wrong with our ace
- 32:51Speaker 1: as we're getting ready for the playoffs.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Yeah, that was real frustrating, Like I don't get what.
- 32:57Speaker 1: It's the only team that does this and sport and
- 33:01Speaker 1: from what I understand, it's not the sideline reports. The
- 33:03Speaker 1: sideline reporters aren't being given the information. We employ now
- 33:08Speaker 1: for a lot of games, two different sideline reporters, and
- 33:12Speaker 1: why are they not there if not to relay information?
- 33:16Speaker 1: Regarding when our star players mysteriously leave baseball games.
- 33:20Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just saying Josh Naylor left the game. Isn't
- 33:23Speaker 5: giving any information. It's just saying that he's no longer there.
- 33:26Speaker 5: We could see he was no longer there.
- 33:28Speaker 1: And even if you don't have the information, it should
- 33:31Speaker 1: still be discussed that Josh Naylor and hopefully he's okay.
- 33:34Speaker 1: And this is what we're having to do. And normally
- 33:36Speaker 1: this is when Josh Naylor would be at the plate.
- 33:38Speaker 1: They didn't even mention that.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't even mention it.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Roblaze came up and had a regular at bat like like.
- 33:45Speaker 3: It's just like he was just pinch hitting for Naylor.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Just said one of those days. But why would Josh
- 33:51Speaker 1: Naylor not be hitting here? Pass the information along? It's
- 33:55Speaker 1: not that hard. You're not doing anything special by protecting
- 33:58Speaker 1: your player's injury and information till the end of the
- 34:01Speaker 1: game and then just mentioning it in a press conference casually,
- 34:05Speaker 1: What are you accomplishing with that? All right, that's not
- 34:08Speaker 1: what I was going to talk about. We're going to
- 34:09Speaker 1: talk about trade season because it did open yesterday, and
- 34:13Speaker 1: of course, trade season for me is June and July
- 34:15Speaker 1: leading up to the Major League Baseball trading deadline, but
- 34:19Speaker 1: man trade season obviously. I mean, there was talk yesterday
- 34:23Speaker 1: not only did we get the aj Brown trade that
- 34:25Speaker 1: we were expecting to get, we get the blockbuster Miles
- 34:29Speaker 1: Garrett trade yesterday, and there were a lot of insiders saying,
- 34:32Speaker 1: hold on to your hats, we might not be done.
- 34:34Speaker 1: This June first threshold is what a lot of teams
- 34:37Speaker 1: that have had some deals in the works have been
- 34:40Speaker 1: waiting for for quite some time. So yes, this is
- 34:43Speaker 1: not just exclusive to our countdown to Major League Baseball's
- 34:47Speaker 1: trading deadline. NFL trade season seems to now begin at
- 34:51Speaker 1: this June first date as well, and I think that.
- 34:56Speaker 1: I mean, we got one more series in the NBA
- 34:59Speaker 1: and then the NBA Draft happens very quickly after the
- 35:04Speaker 1: season comes to a close, like a week later for
- 35:06Speaker 1: goodness sake, and there's going to be a lot that's
- 35:09Speaker 1: going to have to get done on that front before
- 35:11Speaker 1: the draft rolls around. We could have a situation and
- 35:14Speaker 1: the month of June Ashley where the best defensive football
- 35:18Speaker 1: player in the world has been traded, the best pitcher
- 35:22Speaker 1: in the world has been traded because Trek Schoolbol is
- 35:25Speaker 1: probably going to be traded before the end of the month,
- 35:29Speaker 1: as long as he comes back and looks healthy, and
- 35:32Speaker 1: his first couple starts with the Tigers back from the
- 35:35Speaker 1: injury list, and we could have Giannis Antintakupo also traded
- 35:41Speaker 1: within the span of a month. I mean, you want
- 35:43Speaker 1: to talk about trade season, this could be one of
- 35:46Speaker 1: the most banner Junes for sports trades in America we've
- 35:50Speaker 1: ever seen.
- 35:50Speaker 5: Well, you know why they'd be doing it because America's
- 35:52Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty years old, and they've got to
- 35:54Speaker 5: make the trade season of the two hundred and fiftieth
- 35:57Speaker 5: anniversary of America even bigger. Sure, because that's why everything's happening. Yeah,
- 36:02Speaker 5: because America is doing and fifty.
- 36:03Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's uh, I think that's how
- 36:07Speaker 1: it all started. We traded, We traded for our freedom.
- 36:10Speaker 1: There you go.
- 36:11Speaker 5: And now Derek Scouble will be pitching for the Dodgers probably.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Yeah, So that could all happen this month. So this
- 36:18Speaker 1: could be a very memorable trade season. I hope it does, indeed.
- 36:22Speaker 1: But obviously Miles Garrett stole all the headlines. So yesterday
- 36:27Speaker 1: the defensive end is now a member of the Los
- 36:29Speaker 1: Angeles Rams and if you didn't hear Hughes conversation, I mean,
- 36:35Speaker 1: we all knew, Hugh. We all knew, including Hugh obviously,
- 36:39Speaker 1: how great Miles Garrett is. But then when he did
- 36:41Speaker 1: his deep dive, Man, you gotta go back and listen
- 36:43Speaker 1: to the Hugh conversation, because man, does he paint the
- 36:47Speaker 1: portrait of just a game wrecker in Miles Garrett, I think,
- 36:52Speaker 1: and Hugh doing a more thorough breakdown is when he
- 36:57Speaker 1: came to appreciate just how great Miles scared It is.
- 37:00Speaker 1: I mean, we're throwing around some of the greatest pass
- 37:03Speaker 1: rushing names of all time that he's comparing him to
- 37:06Speaker 1: in our segment, and the statistics bear out that he
- 37:09Speaker 1: might be on more so of a heater than Reggie
- 37:11Speaker 1: White was during the highlight of his career while Lawrence
- 37:15Speaker 1: Taylor was during the heyday of his career. So, yeah,
- 37:19Speaker 1: things got a little uncomfortable up in here in this division.
- 37:23Speaker 1: And I'm sure the Seahawks are just going to stay
- 37:25Speaker 1: the course. I mean, there was a story that broke
- 37:28Speaker 1: yesterday about how great a position they're in financially, like
- 37:33Speaker 1: they will have less dead money. The Seahawks than any
- 37:36Speaker 1: other team on their cap and the National Football League.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Do you know what a great stat that is? You
- 37:41Speaker 1: know what that really means when you tear it down,
- 37:44Speaker 1: That means all of your money's on the field. You
- 37:46Speaker 1: have more of your money on the field and a
- 37:48Speaker 1: salary cap league than any other team in the National
- 37:52Speaker 1: Football League. You're also the youngest team in the NFL
- 37:57Speaker 1: great cap situation at this point.
- 38:00Speaker 3: And you're the returning Super Bowl champions.
- 38:01Speaker 1: And you're the returning Super Bowl champions as well, and
- 38:05Speaker 1: so they're in phenomenal position. And I think that the
- 38:09Speaker 1: key to countering what the Rams did yesterday, and they
- 38:13Speaker 1: definitely got better, is just to stay the course and
- 38:17Speaker 1: count on the fact that you're going to get better
- 38:19Speaker 1: this year, and if a move is required in season
- 38:24Speaker 1: to bridge the gap, I have no doubt in my
- 38:27Speaker 1: mind that we have the right guy in charge of
- 38:30Speaker 1: that maneuver. So no panic here, but certainly an impactful move,
- 38:37Speaker 1: to say the least, yesterday by the Rams. We're gonna
- 38:39Speaker 1: ask Rob Staton about it next but primarily we're bringing
- 38:43Speaker 1: him on for our Seahawks one series. It's one Seahawks
- 38:47Speaker 1: analyst breaking down one key Seahawk player for one entire interview.
- 38:50Speaker 1: It comes your way Next on KJR
