  Speaker 2: The bad knee. I thought he was going to score

  Speaker 2: Seven to six. The Mariners take Game one in La.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: What an amazing job by Munos to get out of
• 1:57

  Speaker 5: he gets the job done and closes this one out.
• 2:05

  Speaker 2: beating a left handed batter. We'll talk a lot more
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: They had a twelve game losing streak to the Dodgers. Yes,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: but like, who would think that a get right game

  Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. You know who the cleanup pitter

• 3:05
  Speaker 2: four of training camp yesterday noteworthy because of a few things. One,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about what Leonard Williams said about his
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: contract situation. I asked him about it. You'll hear from
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that in a minute. Jake Bobo did not practice yesterday.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He has a leg injury that I've been told might
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be a hamstring issue. Bud Clark sure wants to be
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: on hard knocks. We'll talk about that as well. Coming
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: up Seahawks are off from no practice in the field today.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: They're a training camp, but they're not on the field.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: CBA mandates every five days you come off the field.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: The Seattle Storm they hosted the Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Show last night at Climate Pridge Arena and lost one
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: oh five ninety five. Clark once again thirty two points,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: four rebound, seven assists, her ninth career thirty point five
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: assist game. Natasha Heidman knocked down thirty three points for Seattle,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: adding six rebounds and four assists, but they lost one
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: oh five ninety five. That's a high scoring game for
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the Storm to still lose. San Francisco forty nine Ers
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: head coach Kyle Shanahan publicly discussed his July fourteenth car
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: accident in the Bay Area, contradicting police reports on the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: cause of the craft that pointed the blame to the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: other driver, He said, no, it was his fault that
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a cell phone had dropped down below the console of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: his car and he was reaching down ford and drifted
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: into the other person's landing suffered really bad injuries. According
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: reportedly best friend of his, Chris Simpson, he almost lost
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: his eyesight in one of his eyes. He's still not coaching.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Chris Forrester is the interim coach for the forty nine ers.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And then other NFL news, the Brown signed Denzel Ward,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the cornerback, to a two year extension words sixty two
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: point two million. Why am I saying that? Because Devin
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Witherspoon and his agent sure noticed that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Of course they did.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Denzel Ward is now the highest paid cornerback in the
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: NFL at thirty one point one million, which means Devin
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Witherspoon's price tag may have just gone up to thirty
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: one point two million, which means Christian Gonzalez's contract with
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: New England maybe thirty one point three million, or vice versa.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: That's why the Devin Witherspoon deal hasn't done yet. Now

  Speaker 3: they don't.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Deserve it if they didn't know it. On the show today,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that was so inexplicable last night that Dodger's Mariner's game.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I was running out. I was supposed to go somewhere else.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I was writing his Mariners stories, and then I started
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: watching a game I was supposed to go somewhere, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: my wife was like, you come in. I got to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: see how this ends. Dominic Canzone. We'll talk about him.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: That was a time not too long ago. He wouldn't
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: even been starting last night because they facing a left
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: handed pitcher. The damn iPad analytics left right handedness thing.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness, they've at least paused on some of that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: or else. Dominic Canzone and even been in the lineup
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: last night to hit two home runs off a left tender.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about what I saw and learned on the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: fourth day yesterday of Seahawks training camp, including Jalen Milroe.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: As sharp as he's been in the two training camps
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: i've watched him as a Seahawks quarterback third round pick
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: from last year ten twenty five. We're gonna talk about
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: two things one. Leonard Williams talked yesterday about his contract
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: ending after this coming season, and I just asked him
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: point blank as the team talked to you about an extension.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You'll hear what Leonard Williams said to that, and then
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you're here from Sam Darnold, the Super Bowl winning quarterback.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Of course, he was on with Dave Softie Maler and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Hugh Mellen yesterday from the edge of the field right
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: after practice. I stood in and listened to that conversation,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and he had a couple interesting things to say. So good.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: He loved that kid man.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: He was much more open and glib yesterday with those
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: guys than he ever is at the podium with us,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and that's why I thought it was worth reair. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: a couple of the things, including how much he appreciated
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Ernest Jones for what he did at Inglewood. After the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: four interception game, Darnold had twenty one to nineteen lost,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the last loss of the season for the Seahawks, as
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: it turned out. You'll hear from Sam Darnold about ten
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: thirty or so at eleven o'clock. I'm going to sit
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: down with Riley Mills, second year defensive lineman. He really
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: looks good in this training camp reconstructive knee surgery. He
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: ended his Notre Dame season in the College Football Playoff
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: January of twenty twenty five. He missed all but the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: very end of the Seahawks season, then came on and
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: had his first career sack in the Super Bowl. He
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: has a really good story, he told Justman and me, Oh.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: My gosh, I can't wait for people to hear it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I had written it to day he was drafted. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: had learned that he how he got from the operating
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: table reconstructive knee surgery to the Orange Bowl within days.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Now that's South Bend, Indiana to Miami. Go ahead and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: look on a map and see how far that is.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And Riley Mills is going to tell you at eleven
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: o'clock how he got there because he wasn't allowed to fly.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: You'll hear that at eleven o'clock eleven thirty. Your text

• 9:33
  Speaker 2: gave a thirty second voicemail message or shorter and we'll
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: play it back at eleven thirty. Well, so read back
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: your text at four nine four or five one on
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the Dakoma Dodge tech side. First question I have is
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: what was your favorite or funniest or most enjoyable part
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of that epic Mariners win last I It was a
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: regular season game one on one sixty two, But how
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: improbable that was with the left handed pitching the defending
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: world champs the doninic Kenzon wouldn't even have been in
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the lineup if they kept doing that handedness thing on
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and on? What was your favorite part of last night's game?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Was it can zone? He became the first left handed
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Mariner to hit two home runs off two different left
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: handed pitchers in a game since Robinson Cano ten years ago.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: That's insane.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: All these things I pulled out, all these names, I'm like, yeah, exactly,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: That's how inexplicable the game was. Aaron Goldsmith said most
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: of these last night during the game. But I think
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the most encouraging aspect of last night's game was the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Mariners are slowly evolving from that iPad analytics driven handed
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: left versus right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: What just hasn't worked out? So why not try something different?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: You know what? Else was amazing and inexplicable. Rob Refschneider
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: bat in one thirty homering and doubling.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: I guess the.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: First game off the injured list, the one thirty resh
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: nighter has two extra base hits in a game. I mean,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: the whole thing was just off the hook. Crazy. Our
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: pal Bucket Jacobson, you remember him. He pointed out that
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a month ago Kenzon wouldn't even have been in that
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: game because he was platooning and starting only against right
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: handed pitchers. Now he's the everyday third or fourth aright.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: He was cleaning up last night. He was in Texas
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: this past weekend. Was the three hitter and he's bombing
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: home runs off left handers two lefties won to tie
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the game in the sixth, and in his home run
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: to win it in the eighth. That home run the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: eighth when he just it wasn't even a bat flip,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: he just dropped it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: And that was pretty good. That was very canzone.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Andros Muno's coming in. He's been lights out lately and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: he was up against it last night. That might have
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: been some people's favorite. Four nine, four to five one.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: If you want to talk about Andres Munnos, I think
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it's nineteen consecutive innings now scoreless. He was throwing one
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: hundred and three miles an hour last night. I don't
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: know if I've ever seen him throw one oh three
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: and he was repeatedly one o two, one oh three
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: on his fastballs. He's slider got him in trouble a
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: little bit there, walked about her, but with the ground
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: ball to end the game, as you heard Aaron Goldsmith
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: talking about. But for me, my favorite part of the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: game last night, Jessamine, did you watch it? By the way,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: I say, what was your actually when they won was
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: my favorite part? No, it was the canzone. I'm sorry
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: when he he did it was not a flip just
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: like you said, but the way he just said yeah.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Exactly, he just disposed, Yeah, I.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Don't need this anymore. I know that's out.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That was my favorite part, just because one I was
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I like to see I love that kid, and I
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: like talking to him in the clubhouse when I'm down
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: there and everything. He's super nice and I think he's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: understated when it comes to what he is to this team,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and so to see him produce like that, like all
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: the things he were saying. They were up against in
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: the home of the defending world champions and Okay, they
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: come off of a couple series where they could have
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: taken a few that they didn't. They go into that
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: house and win like that.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: That was cool.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: And then you know he wasn't a jerk about it. No, No,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: it was not like this huge showmanship. But watching him
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: do that, I was like, a I literally did that
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: in front of my husband.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was Jessman's favorite part. Marinon has had five
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: home runs last night, all off left handed pitching in
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the game for the first time since May second of
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: two thousand and two. I'm gonna throw some more names
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: at you. Mike Cameron hit three home runs that night
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: off left. He's Brett Boone and Jeff Cirillo hit the others. Stop,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying. I'm trying to underscore how crazy last
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: night was. Twenty four years ago was the last time
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: we saw something like this. My favorite part was when
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers got the leadoff guy in the bottom of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the night seven to five game and then O'tani, as
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: only he can, he had a pitch on the outside
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: part of the plate, drilled it to the right center
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: field gap so hard it rolled through the outfielders to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the wall. One of those outfitters, Victor Roeblaz had just
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: come in as a defensive replacement for Dominic Canzone. Well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know why Julio Rodriguez didn't pick up the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: ball the centerfielder, but they were both standing on the track.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Roa Bas picks the ball up and then he throws
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: it out of his glove backwards. I mean, it was
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: like a bugs Bunny cartoon. You never see that in
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the Majorgue.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: My son, I couldn't.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I could not believe was like Benny Hills. It was.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: It was just ridiculous. The ball rolled like twenty yards away.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I thought, here comes Otani, He's going to score on
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: this and they're going to tie the game because Roadblace
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just threw the ball out of his club on the
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: warning track. Well, Otani does have a bum knee, and
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the smart play there is to pull up at third
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: because you had to. You're the tying run at third
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: base with nobody out. Oh yeah, and you got you
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: got Freddy Freeman and Max munci and Mookie Betts coming up.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Of course you stopped there. You don't risk the out, So.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: He stops at third further injury that too.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: But in the heat of the moment, your third base
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: coach is telling you to stop there, even if he
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: thinks you might be able to score, because you have
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: three chances score from third with three of the best
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: hitters in the game. So of course he stopped. And
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that's what Munos was facing, Freeman, Muncie and Mookie Bets.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Mookie Bets batting fifth. What kind
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: of lineup do you have when Mookie Bets is hitting fifth?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Otani doesn't score. The absolutely bugs bunny play
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: by Roadblaze out there. That was my son and I
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: were just cracking up at that play.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I just was like, this is the beginning of
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the end, that's for sure.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And then I also thought Otani was going to score
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: on the high chopper to Naylor at first base, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: he would have scored, especially how that ball handcuffed Naylor.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: He kind of caught it inside his wrist in his stomach.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: But again, Otani's knees not the greatest, so he held
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: up there and that the Mariner's got a break there
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: for the out, and then the Mariners get the ground
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: ball to short to end the game off of Mookie Bets.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And wow, yeah, that was my favorite part four nine
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: four five one. What was your favorite part of I mean,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: it's good to enjoy baseball once in a while instead
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of just gnashing our teeth over the Mariners.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a fun game.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: It was a nail bier, it was, but it sure
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: was fun. It really was.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: It was. And also Day one, that's kind of the
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: underscore I take from that is that they came away
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: with a win, and they do need wins, but I
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: think a lot of us chalked up this series as
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: probably not gonna win.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Zach McFarland w shu. Are you a baseball guy.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: I have definitely beginning into it a little more recently.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Watched a game last night.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: I did not watch the game last night.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: We'll move on. That's fine. You're a football guy too, right, Okay,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: so we'll talk about football next. We're gonna talk about
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. You're in here from Leonard Williams the latest
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: on his contract situation. Yes, they have talked the Seahawks
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and Williams. And you'll hear from Sam Darnold. His conversation
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: yesterday with Dave Softy Maller and Hugh Mellon had two
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: really interesting points among many. You'll hear from those two.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Next eleven o'clock, Riley Mills sits down with me to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: talk about his journey from his reconstructive knee surgery that
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: cost me most of last season. But man, is he
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: good in training camp. All that's coming up on ninety
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM. Welcome back Greg Bell, Jessman McIntyre,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: WSU Murrow School of Communications, Zach McFarlane from Kennedy Catholic
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: High School in Bury and joining us as well here
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: on ninety three point three KJRFMS. Actually doing a little
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: shadow deal. I figured, instead of just walking around the building,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: why don't you just come in and sit in on
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the show. So he's sitting here with us. Glad to
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: have you, Zach, thank you, it's been awesome thanks to
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the He graduates next May from Washington State. Yesterday at
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Seahawks practice practice number four, I'll tell you a little
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: bit later about what was Nowordy on the field? Was
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Noordy off the field? After practice? Was Leonard Wllliams talking
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: about his contract situation. He's thirty one, He's entering his
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: twelfth year. Of course the Pro Bowl, versatile up and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: down the defensive line, start for the Seahawks, thirty one
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: years old. He's in his twelve entering his twelfth season.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: He was married a year ago. They is wife. He
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: and his wife, Hayley, just had a baby this passed
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: off season. So his life has changed in the last
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: year of the year plause and he frankly, when I
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: talked to him, it seems like he's thinking more globally
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and more of real life stuff and family stuff than
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: just football all the time. So we talked about his
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: contract situation yesterday, and I asked him if the Seahawks
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: have actually spoken to him about it. Here's what he said.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Has the team talked to you at all about that
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: or said we're just going to table that for after
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: they've mentioned it or brought it up at all.
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: I mean there's been been a few conversations, but nothing said.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: And so you know, I think we're I think we're
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: all focused on you know, the season starting right now,
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: and you know we know that that's towards the end
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: of the season. We have time to figure that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Out from the time time translation, We're going to wait.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks would rather wait too, because they want to
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: see first if he stays injury free and during aage
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: thirty two coming up. But also does Williams still want
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: to do this for a more time? He talked last
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: year in December. He was going on about Klais Campbell
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: for Arizona playing his eighteenth season as a defensive lineman. Yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and he chuckled. Williams did in December and said, I
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: don't know about that. I don't think I could do six, seven, eight,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: ten more of the years of this. And I asked
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: him then and he said, I don't know. I still
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: am feeling good and I still like to do this,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: but you could tell. I mean, those of you out
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: here out there are spouses, married and have children newly
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: children within the last year. You know how your life
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: perspective changes all of a sudden, things become a little
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: more important than just what maybe your day job is,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: and especially quality of life issues such as playing football
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: for a living. And I sensed that Williams is taking
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: stock of all of that. So he, I think, wants
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: to wait, and the Seahawks want to wait because they
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: don't want to splash him with a huge contract extension wow,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: as they typically do going into the final year of
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: their foundational players in case things do change, either for
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Williams or his productivity or whether he wants to continue
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to do it whatever, So they're gonna wait instead of
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: doing it in the year going into this final year
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: of his deal. It appears. And then if you listen
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: and take Williams at his word, and he usually is
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: a frank speaking guy, I think they are gonna wait.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: And I think I thought all along they were gonna
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: wait and not fit him into the normal get him
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a deal going into final year of his deal. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: by the way, he has the second highest salary cap
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: charge on the Seahawks at twenty six plus million, second
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: only to Sam Darnald at thirty nine million in the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: second year of his three year deal. This time next year,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to have a talk about Sam Darnald getting
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: a new deal because he'll be entering the final year
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: his deal at age twenty nine. Having been a Super
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of decisions, yeah, will have to be made.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: But fortunately for the Seahawks in the NFL, they print
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: money and so the salary cap goes up year over year.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna go from three oh one three hundre
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: one million this year probably to three ten or three
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: fifteen or whatever.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: It's not that much. There's a lot of big deals
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: coming up. There are, there are for sure, and we
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: always see attrition due to, you know, greatness when it
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: comes to Super Bowl chains.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And we did in this offseason Relatively to some of the.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Team it was pretty good. Eighty six biggest one.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, eighty six percent of their snaps are back, though,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: and that's really hard to do. Forty eight to forty
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: nine of their fifty three regulars are back. I mean,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: they only lost Dreik Young and Darik Wollen, Khalie Bryant,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker, the big one of course. Yeah, they didn't
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: have the mass exit or guys getting re up for
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: big money as a lot of Super Bowl champions.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Do I remember what the percentage was back in after
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: the twenty fourteenth Well it was technically the twenty thirteen season,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: but the twenty fourteen Super.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Bowl I don't, but it wasn't either. It wasn't this high,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and they didn't return eighty six percent of their snaps.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I thought we saw a lot more exodus.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, and off the top of my head, I can't
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: remember who left and got paid right away.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Bruno, I remember that one, and then the also the
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Legion of Boom. We lost Maxie.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: They all got paid after the first Super Bowl.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: That's right, But those are bigger pieces than I think.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Besides Kenneth Walker, then we've lost. Obviously there were some core,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: you know pieces, but not the big names.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnold's gonna get his new deal next year. Yesterday
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: he was on right after practice at the field the
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: edge of the field with Dave, Softy, Maller and Humell,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and Softie asked him what's changed since the Super Bowl win?
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: For him.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: How are people different, Like do you get noticed more often?
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: You get more phone calls for endorsements? How's that world
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: change for you?
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, it's you know, it's different that way.
• 22:39
  Speaker 11: I think getting recognized and you know, the endorsement deals
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: come in.
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: I think, you know, you just you gotta and I
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: think this was good, right.
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: It's like a good learning experiment because like I've gone
• 22:51
  Speaker 11: through a lot of you know, I got I went
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: through a lot of lows, you know, in the past
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: and especially early on in my career. Yeah, maybe not
• 22:57
  Speaker 11: having the success that I felt like I could have had,
• 23:00
  Speaker 11: And so I think you can look at it both ways, right,
• 23:04
  Speaker 11: It's like, you know, you don't have success, people write
• 23:07
  Speaker 11: you off and you don't listen to them, and you
• 23:10
  Speaker 11: keep working, and then all of a sudden, you have success.
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: People say you're the best, and they tell you how
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: good you are, and it's the same thing. You don't
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: listen to them. You keep working, you keep doing your
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: thing because at the end of the day, like that's
• 23:20
  Speaker 11: all you can do, you know, you just keep working.
• 23:22
  Speaker 11: Like for me, I'm just continuing to get better. Like
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: there were so many, so many examples of of you
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: know how I could have gotten better last year and
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: things that I didn't do well, you know, not that
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: I things that I can do better.
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: I think is a better way to say it.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: There's always way ways to improve, and you know, I
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: was just focused on that, you know, this past offseason,
• 23:42
  Speaker 11: improving and continuing to you know, to sharpen you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: all my tools that I got. So it's it's been
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: fun this offseason to be able to work on that
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: and be able to you know, spend time with my
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: teammates as well.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Well we want to hear some of those things.
• 23:54
  Speaker 12: But one final thought on you know, Steve Young when
• 23:57
  Speaker 12: he won that Super Bowl in ninety four, he famous,
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: you know that they said, oh, the gorilla is off
• 24:02
  Speaker 12: my back, you know, and and he had almost like
• 24:04
  Speaker 12: an exhale. Do you do you you know, people said
• 24:08
  Speaker 12: things with Sam Darnold can't win the big One, which
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: I about lost my mind about twenty five times, like.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: Are you kidding me?
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Well, do we want to go back to high school?
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: Usc?
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: You know, he's on the shoulders of teammates the vikings.
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: Do you think that wasn't a big game?
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: Like like like I thought it was nonsense, But you
• 24:24
  Speaker 12: heard it, people said it. Do you then have a
• 24:27
  Speaker 12: kind of an exhale feeling like, nah, I can put
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: those days behind me type of thing. Is there any
• 24:32
  Speaker 12: of that that that goes on?
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: Not really, I think, you know, And I think a
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: part of that too is like I didn't I didn't
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: think I played my best football in.
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: The Super Bowl. You know, you always dream.
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: I've said this a lot, but like you always dream
• 24:45
  Speaker 11: as a quarterback when you win the Super Bowl, you
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: want to throw for four hundred yards and you know,
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: have three or four touchdowns. So you know, I took
• 24:53
  Speaker 11: care of the football, which is first and foremost, like
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: that's my job. Take care of the football, marks the
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: team down the field, and do my job that way.
• 24:59
  Speaker 11: Especially with the way our d fence's role in that game,
• 25:01
  Speaker 11: you can kind of get a feel for that, and
• 25:02
  Speaker 11: so I just felt like it was my job to
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: protect the ball. But I felt like I could have
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: made a lot more throws. And that makes it a
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: lot easier to kind of put the Super Bowl in
• 25:11
  Speaker 11: the rear rear view mirror and just look forward and
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: continue to, like I said, look forward to this season
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: and continue to work and strive towards getting.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Better Sam Darnold, the Super Bowl winning quarterback for the Seahawks,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: talking about how life has changed since he won the
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl talking to Dave Softy Maler and Hugh Millen
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: here on ninety three point three kids Our FM yesterday.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting, he said, and he said
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: this a couple of times during the offseason, how it's
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: been easier for him to get past the Super Bowl
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: because he didn't play well in it. He didn't like
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: managing the game, and merely he understood that if he
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: didn't turn the ball over, they're going to win because
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the Patriots were not moving the ball against the same
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: thing with the forty nine ers in the division, and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: in Week eighteen, don't turn a ball over, six is
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: going to win because that was no way in hell
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers or the Patriots going to drive
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the field multiple times a score or touchdowns on that defense,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and that's what happened. But having said that, I remember
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: he talked about a throw he missed the Jackson Smith
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: and Jigba in the first quarters. I think he was
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the second drive of the game in Super Bowl sixty.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: It was an improv route that Smith and Jiggob broke
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: off and was running straight down the hashmark to the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: end zone and Donald overshot him by a couple of yards.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: It was throws like that that Donald really regretted, and
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: he said, I didn't play well, and he heard him
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I dream about you dream about his growing up quarterback.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Four hundred yards, three or four touchdowns in a super Bowl.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: He didn't have that, but he didn't have to, and
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: they still got the ring. But he wanted to play better,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: so it motivated him. The chip on the shoulder we
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: always talk about pro athletes want to have. That's what
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: motivates Sam Donald for twenty twenty six is that he
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: did not play well in the biggest game of his
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: life in the Super Bowl.
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: I know, But how humble is that? I mean, that's awesome.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I mean he didn't I mean we can say it.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: He said it, we can say it. He didn't necessarily,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: but he didn't have to. And there are some people,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: there's gunslingers out there there, you know, you're farvs and
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: whoever's who, Sometimes the coaches depend on being that person.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: They didn't need it, and he followed Mike McDonald's plan.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: That is the most defensive minded super Bowl in my time.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Watching this team that I have ever seen coached.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: It was dominant, just dominated.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Exactly what he wanted exactly, So Sam, yes, you can
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: be good, but we don't need you to be good.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: It bears repeating, though that the Seahawks won the all
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: three playoff games when Donald did not turn the ball
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: over one time. The defense was so good going into
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the Plass. We talked about this going to the Plass.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I wrote about the News Tribune. If Donald doesn't turn
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the ball over, this defense can win the Super Bowl.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: And that's what happened. That defense led by Ernest Jones,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: the traffic cop, the guy who gets everybody in place,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: and a locker room leader, and his leadership never was
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: higher than the day in Englewood in November when Sam
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Donald threw a career high four interceptions. They lost twenty
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: one nineteen. Donald almost got him, I mean within a
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: yard of a field goal that went just short and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: wide from winning that game anyway. But after the game,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: that was famously when Ernest Jones said in the pres
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Cotmens live with the cameras rolling, if you got a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: problem with my quarterback, f you except he didn't say F.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: And I mentioned yesterday how as he was leaving the podium,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald was coming on to it and they were
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: standing right next to me, and Jones just said, I
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: got you. This is what Sam Donald had said said
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: yesterday to Dave Softimo and Humellan about that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: Your teammate, Ernest Joan, I got to work for you.
• 28:33
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: Now, the original of that was after the RAM game
• 28:38
  Speaker 9: on Thursday night. What did that mean to you? You
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: had a night that obviously did not want to have.
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: Your teammate comes out unobated, says you don't believe it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: This guy f you we do. What did that mean
• 28:51
  Speaker 9: to you personally that he did that for you?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: Me personally. You know. It's it's funny.
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: It's like, you know, the guys feel that way, but
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: I think to hear it is a different deal, you know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: the way that Ernest not only had my back, but like,
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: I think that's a message. He wasn't Ernest wasn't necessarily
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: sending that message to me. He was also sending that
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: to the entire team, right. He was like, Hey, like,
• 29:14
  Speaker 11: we're in this together. And it was the same message
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: that Mike's been pushing. But that just kind of shows
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: you his leadership and really not only his leadership, but
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: how smart he is, Like he kind of knew in
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: that moment, like this is what needs to be done. Yeah,
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: and he also knew that I wasn't gonna say anything
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: like that. So I think for him to have my
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: back and just the team's back, to have put the
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: team first in that moment and decide, because when you use.
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: Those words, right, there's like power behind that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 11: As you know, it might not be the best thing
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: to do with you know, kids watching and all that stuff,
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: but like for a locker room sure you know, there's
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: there's no bs behind that, and so it was powerful
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: when you did it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Sam Donald yesterday Dave Softy Maler at Seahawks training camp
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: talking about the Ernest Jones having his back after it
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: was actually he misspoke. It was not after the Thursday
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: night game, the home game. It was after the road game,
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: the first of the three meetings against the Rams, when
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: he threw four interceptions. Sam Donald did. But Donald's point
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: was a really good one because it's not just what
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the media hears or what the fans here on televigon.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It's in the locker room. And Jones was talking to
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: the locker room Mike McDonald. Coaches all over do this
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: as well, but he was resonating that message well beyond
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: the media and the fans, and Donald appreciated that probably
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: most of all. There are two things there, one at
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: a step. That was the day the players tell me
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: they knew they had a dog in Sam Donald, they
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: had a guy that could they could win the Super
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Bowl with when he almost beat the Rams within a
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: yard or two of beating the Rams despite throwing four interceptions.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Remember he drove them off their own goal line, the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: punt that went out at the one yard line. They
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: had a minute left and one time out, and Donald
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: still drove them all the way down across midfield. But
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: then a sixth dy one yard field goal by Jason
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Myers came just short and wide at the horn, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: that's why the Seahawks end up losing that game twenty
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: one nineteen. But that day was the day the Seahawks
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: found the belief in Sam Darnold. And that day was
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: also the day that Ernest Jones became the undisputed leader
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Locker room a hundred percent. I mean what we heard
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: in that clip that we played that was from the
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl parade.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was so repeated it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: That's right, Yes he did, and we all knew that
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: it was going to happen. We were all just you know,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: sitting there knowing that that's exactly what he was going
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: to say. And they were having their fun. They had
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: their solo cups and all, and it's public. I'm not
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: giving any inside information over here, but he when he
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: went up, We're all like, okay, here it comes, here,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: it comes. But it was almost the expectation. He couldn't
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: disappoint because everyone loved it so much. Like you were
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: saying yesterday, there's t shirts, there's like merch based on this.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Erict Jones says when he now goes out and see it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: He used to go out in Seattle restaurants, grocery store.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Nobody said a word to him. They didn't even recognize him.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Since that time when he said fu and the Inglewood
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: post game for Darnold, he said, he can't go anywhere
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: now without people recognizing him. And one to take selfies
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: with him with middle fingers up. His wife's like, what's
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: going on here?
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: Off, Hi?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: We just wanted to get bred at say yeah, that's
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: how hard come to the games.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Ernest Jones' life.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: He's an awesome dude. I like him a lot more.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: From Seahawks training camp. At eleven o'clock, you'll hear from
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Riley Mills that he's really been good during this training
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: camp now that he's fully healthy and not rehabbing a
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: reconstructed knee. You'll hear from a really good story from
• 32:35

• 32:37
  Speaker 2: he got to the college football playoff games with days

• 35:18
  Speaker 2: on ninety three point three KJFM. She talked yesterday to
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Dave Softie Mahler and Hugh Millan about this. In the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: historic nature, we believe she is the first full time
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: play by play in college football play by play person
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: to be a woman.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: In FBS on radio. Yes, that is correct.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: This is atleast Woodward yesterday on KJR.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: I literally am pinching myself. It's something that I grew
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: up a big college football fan. My brother you mentioned
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: being from Oregon. You know, he played football for the Docks.
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: He was six years older than me, and you know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: I remember I have specific memories when the Huskies would
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: come in and just whoop up on Oregon, and I
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: was like, this is amazing. And there was always something
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: regal about the w to me and the Huskies and
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: you know, the everything it was just it was the
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: first class university in a first class city, and everything
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: about it was like wow. And my dad actually was
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: in the rotary for a long time in Eugene and
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: he won a prize when I was in the eighth
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: grade and it was a Washington Husky sweatshirt. And I'm
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: in the eighth grade and I was wearing a Washington
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Husky sweatshirt in Eugene and was like, let's go anyway.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: When I went on my recruiting trip and I got
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: a chance, there's a player that you know they would
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: be honored to meet Don James, but maybe I mean
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: I was in awe. I was like, this is the
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: dog father man, Like, oh my god, I got a
• 36:33
  Speaker 7: chance to pop in his office and he knew my name,
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: Like obviously he would have been prepped, you know, but
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: I was like, what this is. I mean, it's fantastic.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: And you know when I got a chance when they
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: offered me the job to be the sideline reporter, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: that was a long time ago, and I just was
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: pensioning myself. And it is the honest true that every
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: time that smoke, when those guys get ready to come
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: out the tunnel and I'm on the sideline, like I
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: say a prayer, and I'm of gratitude for having the
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: opportunity to have this because it is so special to
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: be a part of the University of Washington in the
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: football program and these fantastic athletes that I've had a
• 37:08
  Speaker 7: chance to cover. And I mean just I've seen so
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: many legends and so many times I've had goosebumps, and
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: you know, I just it's I'm just so thankful. I
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: just can't even believe it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: At least one word of the new Voice of Huskies
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Football also talked about the historic significance of this.
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: It's something that for me, I take a tremendous amount
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: of pride in and I've compared it. I hope I'm like,
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: you know, the big guys up front being an offensive
• 37:32
  Speaker 7: lineman and opening up holes for people behind you. I
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: never want the focus to be on that. I've always
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: just worked extremely hard with the hope that I've earned
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: the right and it has nothing to do with the
• 37:44
  Speaker 7: fact that I am a female. But I hope that
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: you know ultimately that because I do a good job,
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: because I know my stuff, because I prep, because I
• 37:51
  Speaker 7: care all of those things in my passion for every
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: assignment I have, no matter what the sport, that other
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: people behind me will have the opportunity, and I think
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: it really is important. I probably I think back on it,
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: and it's so hard because you just don't know. Growing up, Like,
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: you know, I was dumb enough when I was a
• 38:07
  Speaker 7: young kid in elementary I wanted to play in the NBA.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: There was no WNBA, and I you know, I was like,
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: let's go. That was my goal and then it was
• 38:15
  Speaker 7: like a chance for There was no female play by
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: play announcers when I was growing up and so I
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: was like, Okay, what am I going to do. I
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: was an analyst for basketball, I was a reporter, I
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: was a host. I did all these things. And I
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: did have somebody tell me when I was in the business,
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: like you know, just like in college. I think it
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: was early in my career that when I was pursuing
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: this that that's tough females, you know, being played by play.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: I don't know the voice range if it's possible, and
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: I think it's it's so important because I think it
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: does take people getting used to hearing female voices because
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: it's it's something that's newer. But there's been so many
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: that have come and so many that are good, and
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: so many that are breaking barriers, and you know, I
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: just hope that, like I said, that people will come
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: to appreciate all the passion and the hard work.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Elise Woodward talking about being the voice of the Huskies
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: for the coming football season college football seam. It's also
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: a fantastic mother. I went on road trips when I

  Speaker 2: football because she's going to maintain her college football or
• 39:42

• 42:09
  Speaker 2: year extension at sixty two point two million, manking him
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: now the highest paid cornerback in the NFL. That's the
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: new benchmark that the agents for both Christian Gonzales of
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: the Patriots and Devin Witherspoon of the Sea Oak they
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: have the same agency, are now looking at Denzel Ward
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: at thirty one point one million, eclipsing Trent McDuffie at
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: thirty one million with the Rams. So it goes the

  Speaker 2: quarterback situation. Also in Seahawks' training camp, Riley Mills sat
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: down with us yesterday. Man, he has some really good
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: stories on how he got back from his reconstructiveness. You
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: saw him blow up two Patriots linemen and crash into
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Drake May for his first career sack in Super Bowl
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: sixty and now in training camp he looks like one
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: of the best players. Talk of camp in some ways.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Riley Mills here on ninety three point three KJR Welcome
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center in Seahawks training
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: camp Live on ninety three point three KJRFM. We're joined
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: by Roley Mills, fifth round draft pick defensive end from
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame Seahawks got last year. You saw him in
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl manhandle with new England Packer offensive lineman
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: right in to a quarterback sack. His first sack of
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: his career came in the biggest game of his life.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: That was pretty cool, wasn't it.
• 45:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, not too bad.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: This time last year you were recovering from reconstructive knee surge.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: I don't have to remind you that, but can you
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: take us back to what your mentality was in a
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: long ARDU was probably lonely rehabed. You were out on
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: this camp. I was watching you, just watching these practices.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: You were in the meetings, you were doing everything butt practicing,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: but you couldn't participate, not really until what November? Right, Yeah,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: what was that whole experience like? And when you were
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: just standing watching what was going through your mind? Last
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: training camp?
• 45:44
  Speaker 13: It was tough. I think looking back, I think it
• 45:46
  Speaker 13: actually probably helped me more than I realized. But it
• 45:50
  Speaker 13: stuck kind of watching everyone, you know, go out there
• 45:52
  Speaker 13: work their tails off and then having just you know,
• 45:54
  Speaker 13: stand there and not be a part of it. But
• 45:56
  Speaker 13: you On the bright side, I actually got to talk
• 45:57
  Speaker 13: to Ad a lot and Coach Hines, and you know,
• 45:59
  Speaker 13: they held me kind of understand to watch, you know,
• 46:01
  Speaker 13: the offensive side of the ball and kind of get
• 46:03
  Speaker 13: a feel for like the NFL style of play coming
• 46:06
  Speaker 13: from the offense. So when I actually got out there,
• 46:08
  Speaker 13: it did help kind of like slow things down. But yeah,
• 46:11
  Speaker 13: for me, I tried to do the most. Like every
• 46:12
  Speaker 13: time we did a drill, I was standing right behind
• 46:13
  Speaker 13: trying to like take mental I think I tried to
• 46:16
  Speaker 13: break the record for most mental reps taken in a camp,
• 46:18
  Speaker 13: so I was working towards it. But yeah, I feel
• 46:20
  Speaker 13: like that just there's definitely a lot of time, so
• 46:23
  Speaker 13: I was trying to do whatever I could to kind
• 46:25
  Speaker 13: of get, you know, an edge or you know, just
• 46:27
  Speaker 13: give myself something to do during the camp.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: How important was it that you did debut late last
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: season and that at least there was a light at
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: the end of the tunnel, and that they didn't tell
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: you this is a red shirt year, or that we're
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: going to give you the entire year. How much did
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: that help in that whole process?
• 46:41
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that was great. I mean I don't know, I
• 46:43
  Speaker 13: think you know, when I hurt my knee and I
• 46:45
  Speaker 13: got the news and you go through the process. For me,
• 46:47
  Speaker 13: it was just like okay, getting I'm coming back, Like
• 46:49
  Speaker 13: there was no I never really there was never really
• 46:51
  Speaker 13: an option in my mind for a red shirt or
• 46:53
  Speaker 13: if I wasn't, Like my mindset was I'm always coming
• 46:55
  Speaker 13: back and I can't wait till my first nap. And
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: then it's kind of crazy. It goes like, you know,
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: you're doing like baby steps and then you know you
• 47:02
  Speaker 13: start running. I sprinted for a week, I hit mark
• 47:05
  Speaker 13: the strength coach for a week and they go, all right,
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: you're playing the Colts this week. So I'm like, all right, perfect,
• 47:09
  Speaker 13: But yeah, it was great just to you know, they
• 47:11
  Speaker 13: had that confidence in me and so you got to
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: get out there and you know have the vets and
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: the other guys like you know, Leo Byron, Jay Reid
• 47:18
  Speaker 13: just kind of you know, helped me out and watch
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: how they do it and you know, got to learn
• 47:21
  Speaker 13: a lot.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: What was this off season like, going home, being around family,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: a super Bowl champion, a sack in the Super Bowl
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: in front of two hundred million people watching. What was
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: that experience and what was the coolest moment of that
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: off season.
• 47:33
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's way more fun when you're you know, fully
• 47:35
  Speaker 13: able to walk and do all that. But it was odd.
• 47:37
  Speaker 13: I mean it really felt like a dream, like right
• 47:39
  Speaker 13: after that. That's something you know as a little kid,
• 47:41
  Speaker 13: I remember watching the Super Bowl. So, I mean this
• 47:43
  Speaker 13: off season was great. I think it was really cool
• 47:46
  Speaker 13: just having the people that were there with me, you know,
• 47:48
  Speaker 13: the year before kind of like my lowest time and
• 47:50
  Speaker 13: dealing with the knee. I feel like it was cool
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: to see it come to fruition and everything. We kind
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: of dreamed of, you know, would be the perfect ending
• 47:56
  Speaker 13: for it or perfect situation for it. You know, we
• 47:59
  Speaker 13: all got to kind of sell that and you know,
• 48:01
  Speaker 13: take a minute after the season and be like, wow,
• 48:03
  Speaker 13: we uh we really got to come here and do this,
• 48:06
  Speaker 13: and you know, it was really just a blessing. So
• 48:08
  Speaker 13: I was really pumped for it.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: When you got injured in the college football playoff game
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: it was the Indiana game, right, yeah, against a notre
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: name Indiana in December of twenty twenty four, did you
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: fear that maybe you wouldn't get drafted? Was that it
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: crossing your mind?
• 48:22
  Speaker 10: You know?
• 48:24
  Speaker 13: For me, I, you know, the reason I came back
• 48:26
  Speaker 13: was like, look, I want to be the best version
• 48:27
  Speaker 13: of myself, and I felt like that season I did
• 48:30
  Speaker 13: everything in my power I could to become the best
• 48:32
  Speaker 13: version of myself. So I knew, no matter you know,
• 48:35
  Speaker 13: what happened with the draft and all that, that I
• 48:37
  Speaker 13: was the best player I could be at that point.
• 48:39
  Speaker 13: And you know, to be honest, my agent, you know,
• 48:41
  Speaker 13: he was really one of the you know, the best
• 48:43
  Speaker 13: people through the process because he told me, he was
• 48:44
  Speaker 13: just straight up with me. It was like, look, a
• 48:46
  Speaker 13: lot of gms probably aren't gonna take the risk on
• 48:48
  Speaker 13: a guy that they can't use in year one. But
• 48:51
  Speaker 13: if a team's gonna like you, they're gonna fall in
• 48:52
  Speaker 13: love with you and they're gonna pick you. So, you know,
• 48:55
  Speaker 13: I think you did a great job because you know,
• 48:56
  Speaker 13: I kind of knew expectation wise where it was gonna be,
• 48:58
  Speaker 13: and you know, I think just I had a great
• 49:01
  Speaker 13: support system, so they kind of helped me go all
• 49:03
  Speaker 13: through that, and you know, I probably think that you know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 13: that made the biggest difference for me.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Now fast forward to much happier times. Now, yesterday I
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: saw you swim move a three or four different times,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: starting offensive lineman and get in the backfield. You were
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: living in the backfield yesterday. What have you noticed about
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: your quickness and your getting now that you're in full health,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: your quickness and your game and how it translated.
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: At the NFL level.
• 49:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I think a lot of the things I worked
• 49:27
  Speaker 13: on my last year of college really helped a lot
• 49:30
  Speaker 13: and really paid off. I think those things that you know,
• 49:32
  Speaker 13: my pass rush to playing the run and you know,
• 49:34
  Speaker 13: just how to prepare like a pro really helped me
• 49:37
  Speaker 13: a lot. Now, especially during this camp in OTAs, and
• 49:39
  Speaker 13: you know, for me, I'm not going to come in
• 49:41
  Speaker 13: and think I know every single thing. So I've been
• 49:42
  Speaker 13: doing everything I can just to try to learn from
• 49:44
  Speaker 13: you know, the coaches, ad the vets, and I feel
• 49:48
  Speaker 13: like now it's just really clicking and I kind of
• 49:49
  Speaker 13: get to, you know, go off and there's no oh,
• 49:52
  Speaker 13: I got this knee brace on, or I gotta deal
• 49:53
  Speaker 13: with the knee. I really forget about it when I'm
• 49:55
  Speaker 13: out there. So that's been the greatest part.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Who's the cat you're leaning on the most in the
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: locker room, in the meeting room. Who's the mentor that's
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: taught you the most?
• 50:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah, definitely, I think Leo just I think we have
• 50:04
  Speaker 13: similar play styles and you know, he's someone who's you know,
• 50:07
  Speaker 13: kind of taller de tackle. We kind of have similar
• 50:09
  Speaker 13: ways we play the game. But I think him even
• 50:12
  Speaker 13: you know Jay Reid too, is he just plays, you know,
• 50:14
  Speaker 13: ahead of the snap and he is able to kind
• 50:16
  Speaker 13: of see formation. So I've been trying to pick up
• 50:18
  Speaker 13: stuff from them. But it's kind of fun I play.
• 50:20
  Speaker 13: Each guy has like their own little, you know thing,
• 50:22
  Speaker 13: So I'm out here trying to get all the Infinity
• 50:24
  Speaker 13: stones from each guy. So I'm working on it.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: How many different positions and roles are you playing, inside, outside, tackle?
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: What did they have you alternating and doing all the time.
• 50:34
  Speaker 13: I'm kind of doing, but of everything. I mean, for
• 50:35
  Speaker 13: I think when I came out in the draft and
• 50:37
  Speaker 13: all this, my big selling point was I can play
• 50:39
  Speaker 13: anything from the zero to the nine. And I think
• 50:41
  Speaker 13: that's something that you know, I offer just my versatility,
• 50:44
  Speaker 13: and you know other days like I'll play the shade,
• 50:46
  Speaker 13: I'll play the three tech, I'll play the five. So
• 50:48
  Speaker 13: I think right now it's really been the three tech
• 50:50
  Speaker 13: in the big end. But I think just for me,
• 50:53
  Speaker 13: I'm pretty versatile and I'm willing to play kind of
• 50:55
  Speaker 13: any position.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: We're talking to Ryani Mills. He's the defensive lineman who
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: debuted Super Bowl. He actually didn't debuted in December against
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Culture after a knee injury ended his time
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: at Notre Dame's fifth round pick last year, first career
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: sack in the Super Bowl, and now he is a
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: force already showing out at the Seahawks training camp. On
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three KJRFM Riley the Mike McDonald defense.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: We hear one word commands that Ernest Jones and others
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: are barking out right before the snap, what is a
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: defensive end the three tech? How does that affect him?
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: What do you do right before the snap? And how
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: intricate is that whole process?
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's pretty I know for the back seven it's
• 51:34
  Speaker 13: it's super intricate. And you know, even for us, we
• 51:36
  Speaker 13: do a communication, you know if we have certain looks
• 51:39
  Speaker 13: and formations, like they're telling us to bump the front
• 51:41
  Speaker 13: and we're looking at you know, different things. But for me,
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: one thing I've been focused on is just trying to
• 51:45
  Speaker 13: see less and focus on my key. So you know,
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: I'll try to pick out those two or three things
• 51:49
  Speaker 13: I'll see pre snap, and then as seen as I
• 51:51
  Speaker 13: get in, I kind of just you know, zone in
• 51:53
  Speaker 13: on my my key and get ready to come off
• 51:55
  Speaker 13: the ball.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: What's the coolest thing about being the NFL? What do
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: you think man that you all pinch yourself and like
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I get to do this.
• 52:03
  Speaker 13: I think I just love the compet Like I just
• 52:05
  Speaker 13: love the fact that everyone's the best at their position,
• 52:07
  Speaker 13: like in the world. I think that's so cool to me.
• 52:08
  Speaker 13: And like growing up, I was like that's what I
• 52:10
  Speaker 13: thought was so cool is you have the best in
• 52:11
  Speaker 13: the world. So when we go out there and it's like,
• 52:13
  Speaker 13: you know, I get our offensive line, that's the best
• 52:16
  Speaker 13: offensive line in the world. You know, our our linebackers,
• 52:18
  Speaker 13: our safety is there, our d line. Like, I just
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: love the competitiveness of it, and you know, everyone's trying
• 52:23
  Speaker 13: to get, you know, one percent better, So I just
• 52:25
  Speaker 13: kind of love the grind of it.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: How much did a Notre Dame program and how they
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: run it prepare you for.
• 52:30
  Speaker 13: This actually a lot. It's kind of funny, I tell people.
• 52:33
  Speaker 13: I'm like, I feel like the Seahawks are very similar
• 52:35
  Speaker 13: to Notre Dame. I know, we got a couple of
• 52:36
  Speaker 13: USC guys here, but yeah, in my way, I just
• 52:39
  Speaker 13: think like very community based. Like I think at Notre Dame,
• 52:42
  Speaker 13: it was really about the culture there and I feel
• 52:43
  Speaker 13: like everyone matched, like the coaches to players and everyone
• 52:46
  Speaker 13: had an equal voice, and I feel like that's the
• 52:48
  Speaker 13: same thing here. Like, you know, you could be a
• 52:50
  Speaker 13: rookie or a year or two guy talking to a
• 52:52
  Speaker 13: vet or a you know, a high level coach and
• 52:55
  Speaker 13: you'll get that same respect as if you were you know,
• 52:57
  Speaker 13: a star player or this and that. So everyone has
• 52:59
  Speaker 13: a voice in this team and It's cool because you know,
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: it's not just like oh, the D lines of the
• 53:03
  Speaker 13: D line and you know this group. For this group,
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: I think everybody meshes really well in the locker room,
• 53:07
  Speaker 13: kind of the same as it was at at Notre Dame.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's walking talks and tell us you're why those
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: type of what is that experience like for Did you
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: expect that as an NFL player that you'd be sharing
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: yourself for having such, as you said, such a voice
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: that you have.
• 53:21
  Speaker 13: I didn't expect it because I heard from a lot
• 53:23
  Speaker 13: of people they were just like, as soon as you
• 53:25
  Speaker 13: get in the NFL, it's kind of you know, everyone's
• 53:27
  Speaker 13: kind of on their own. They're doing their own thing,
• 53:28
  Speaker 13: and like, yeah, it's kind of the opposite. I think
• 53:31
  Speaker 13: it's I think it's really cool that like yesterday, I'm
• 53:34
  Speaker 13: in a group with you know, uh, a Lucas, right,
• 53:38
  Speaker 13: I was a Charles Cross and then you know Jami
• 53:40
  Speaker 13: or Kicker and then you know A d was there.
• 53:42
  Speaker 13: Like you kind of have everyone from all sides of
• 53:44
  Speaker 13: the ball talking about their process and you know how
• 53:46
  Speaker 13: they approach it. So I feel like it's been cool
• 53:48
  Speaker 13: to just hear everyone's you know, different opinions in different
• 53:51
  Speaker 13: ways that they approach fall camp in the game and
• 53:53
  Speaker 13: kind of forces you to become closer with everyone in
• 53:56
  Speaker 13: the locker room.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: What do you talk about in those groups when you
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: have a kicker, offensive tackle? What are you guys talking about? Uh?
• 54:01
  Speaker 13: Kind of like, you know, what is your what is
• 54:03
  Speaker 13: it like when you're you know, dialed in having your
• 54:06
  Speaker 13: best moment? You know, what are some things you wish
• 54:08
  Speaker 13: you could tell yourself, you know, your first year and
• 54:11
  Speaker 13: then you know, sometimes we'll just kind of, you know,
• 54:13
  Speaker 13: be talking a little bit, like, you know, what's been
• 54:14
  Speaker 13: your favorite part of camp or just kind of like
• 54:16
  Speaker 13: chatting about But yeah, they're usually folks starting around like
• 54:19
  Speaker 13: you know, our team culture and what we're like at
• 54:22
  Speaker 13: our our best.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: The day they drafted you on a Saturday, I remember
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: asking you on our phone call about the r V
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: that you took to the Orange Bowl. I'm going to
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: ask you to retell the story. When he had injured
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: in the Indiana first round playoff game, the Notre Dame
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: medical staff told Riley Mills that he couldn't fly for
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: fear of bloodcots in your injured leg. So what did
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 54:44
  Speaker 13: I shout out to Notre Dame. We got an Nihill
• 54:47
  Speaker 13: deal and we I actually found out I think it's
• 54:50
  Speaker 13: Mitch Walker. Elkhart was like the r V capital of
• 54:52
  Speaker 13: the world. Yes, yes, so we uh I got an RV.
• 54:56
  Speaker 13: And then it was my uncle who's a firefighter down
• 55:00
  Speaker 13: Or and then my parents, my girlfriend and then our
• 55:02
  Speaker 13: family dog hobbed an RV from South Bend, Indiana, like
• 55:06
  Speaker 13: a twenty two twenty three hour drive all the way
• 55:08
  Speaker 13: to uh Miami and I'm just I'm in the back,
• 55:12
  Speaker 13: you know, just a week at a knee surgery, like
• 55:15
  Speaker 13: I'm doing the little knee machine, like just falling around
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: in the back. It's it was. We got real close
• 55:20
  Speaker 13: to that trip, but it was it was awesome. I know,
• 55:22
  Speaker 13: I showed up. Everyone's like, what are you doing here?
• 55:24
  Speaker 13: And I was like, I had to come down for
• 55:26
  Speaker 13: the game. So I was probab Yeah, I was proud
• 55:28
  Speaker 13: just to be there with the guys. And I was like,
• 55:30
  Speaker 13: I didn't especially when we're going so far in the playoffs.
• 55:32
  Speaker 13: I was like, I didn't want to not be a
• 55:33
  Speaker 13: part of it. But yeah, that's just like we we
• 55:35
  Speaker 13: all laugh for like, dude, I think we were all
• 55:37
  Speaker 13: in horror at by the end of.
• 55:38
  Speaker 10: The trip, and then you had to drive back.
• 55:41
  Speaker 13: Well, yeah, people forget about the drive back. Yeah, way
• 55:44
  Speaker 13: way less fun than the drive there.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, that's yeah, twenty two more hours.
• 55:49
  Speaker 13: Yeah, that one. That one was tough.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: That was tough.
• 55:51
  Speaker 13: I'm just like, yeah, I'm in the back, just like
• 55:53
  Speaker 13: I don't know where we are, it's dark in here.
• 55:55
  Speaker 13: And then I'm just hearing you know, the dog, you know, scared.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: And you didn't get to drive of course because you injury, right.
• 56:00
  Speaker 13: No, no, yeah, I'm specifically just like there was a
• 56:03
  Speaker 13: bed in the back that I was just like posted
• 56:04
  Speaker 13: up then and then yeah, and we would just stop
• 56:07
  Speaker 13: at like a BUCkies and I'll go out and be like, oh,
• 56:09
  Speaker 13: sunlight and go right back then.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: That's just a level of dedication to team of Riley Mills. Riley,
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: you mentioned yesterday when we talked to when you talk
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: to the group at large, the media at large, that
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: you know your goals and that you have standards and
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: you know what they are. What are they? What are
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: your standards? What are your goals in the NFL year two?
• 56:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah? I think for me it's just you know, my
• 56:29
  Speaker 13: brand of football, just being a bully and trying to
• 56:31
  Speaker 13: be a bull in a china shop. You know, I
• 56:32
  Speaker 13: think it's kind of easier to it's it's I usually
• 56:35
  Speaker 13: know it when I see it, and I can tell
• 56:36
  Speaker 13: when I'm at that standard. And you know, I think
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: for me right now, it's like can I do this
• 56:40
  Speaker 13: in practice? But can I do it in games? And
• 56:42
  Speaker 13: can I keep it going? And you know, for me,
• 56:44
  Speaker 13: I just want to be as violent as possible and
• 56:46
  Speaker 13: kind of just take what I did in the super
• 56:47
  Speaker 13: Bowl and just use that as a launching point and
• 56:49
  Speaker 13: just try to be as dominant as I can be
• 56:51
  Speaker 13: and you know, be the best version of myself.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: Pretty cool launching point and go into your career. Rilly Mills,
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: we really appreciate the time, and Seahawk fans, you're gonna
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: get to know a lot of this guy on the
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: defensive line now that he's fully healthy. Thank you, sir.
• 57:03
  Speaker 13: Awesome appreciate it.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: Riley Mills, defensive lineman from Notre Dame, defensive end, defensive
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: tackle on three successive plays yesterday. I saw him play
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: nose tackle, three technique tackle, and then a defensive end
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: three plays in a row. That's what the kind of
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: versatility he provides. Fifth round pick in twenty twenty five
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: at a Notre Dame that missed almost all of last
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: season with a reconstructive knee surgery, first career sack in
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl by just manhandling two Patriots offensive linemen
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: and throwing him into Drake May. He really downplayed that
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: trip from South Bend in an RV a rent at RV,
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: and then I held deal as he said to Miami, Yeah,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: because he just said to all the family dog. But
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: then he told us as he was walking out about
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: the family dog.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, that's the first thing that comes to my
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: mind is what kind of dog? And he goes, oh,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: it's a great dane. A great day, packing your family
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: into an RV, driving twenty two hours across the country
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: to get to your team because you can't fly because
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: you just had reconstructive knee surgery, and you throw a
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: great dane who apparently was scared into the mix. I
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: just thought that made it ten times funnier.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: And we were like, why didn't you say it in here? Yeah,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: he's in He was talking about how he had the
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: knee extender machine. Those you've had an ACL terror repair.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: I've done it. I know exactly I speak that language, and.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: The drugs he was taken, and to keep the swelling
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: down and probably not very comfortable sleep in the back
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: of an RV. That's what he did to get to
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: that Orange Bowl game.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: The one he could not play in right to be
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: there with his team.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: It was a week after his surgery, and then so
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame wins the Orange Bowl and they advanced to
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: the National Championship game against Ohio State in Atlanta. And
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: he said maybe one of the greatest days of his
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: life was that Notre Dame cleared him to fly to Atlanta.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: They weren't worried about blood cuts an here, so he
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: didn't have to drive back from South Bend back down
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: to Atlanta.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: No, he did not, But yeah, I got I had
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: to miss a wedding after my knee surgery because I
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: couldn't fly and it was on the East Coast, So
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: I do understand that. And I did not have an
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: nil deal to take an our feet there. No, But
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: I just I really want people to get to know him,
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: and I think that was a really good interview to
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: get to know him a little better, because he was
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: extremely understated this year, obviously because he didn't hit the
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: field until later in the season, but his first career
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: sack happened in the Super Bowl, and he has a ring.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: And also he's just a cool dude.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah he is.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: He gives offensive lineman vibes even though he's on the
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: defensive lines.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Spoken like a daughter of a long time line coaching
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: college coach.
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: My dad played offensive line in college and the NFL
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: and then coached defense, so I've seen both sides.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Riley Mills, as I mentioned yesterday, playing three different positions
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: in three snaps. He's been living in the backfield so
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: far in training camp, he provides it. We talked about
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: the depth last year, and as great as the Seahawks
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: defense was, it still wasn't as deep as the legion
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: of Boom teams that would go ten to eleven guys
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: hockey line changes in the first quarter of games on
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: the defensive line and eventually just wear teams out and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: wear offensive linemen out. By the fourth quarter of the
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: offensive line over gassed in the defensive line had just
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: played forty percent of snaps because they'd been rotating so much.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Not last year's team, they didn't have that depth. But
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Riley Mills himself can provide that depth because if he's
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: playing multiple spots, that means Leonard Williams can move around
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: or sometimes take plays off if Mills is coming in
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: for him. Jaren Reid can play multiple positions inside and out. Oh,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: by the way, some guy named Byron Murphy really excelled
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: when he started moving around the defensive line from nose
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: out to end last year. Now you got three guys
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: like that when Mills is in there, and that is
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: huge for this team. He's it is something they didn't
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: have for as I mentioned all the way into December opener.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: As he mentioned his first game was in December against
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts. You heard him say,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: they just said, hey, you're going to play next week.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: I haven't played since December, okay. And then he was
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: in twelve months later as his debut for the Seahawks.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: But they didn't have him all last year. And now
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: they have him, and now he's healthy and he had
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: an entire offseason to learn the defense and the defense
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: to learn him and the teammates know him now. He
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: got a lot of cashet in that locker room when
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: he had that super sack in the Super Bowl.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent. I mean imagine that being essentially your
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: debut on a national stage. I mean it wasn't his
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: necessarily NFL debut, but that was kind of his coming
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: out party right there. And I just remember exactly where
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: I was. I was there in Sanford, Sorry, Santa Clara,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: I was there, and I got to see it, and I.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Was like, oh, righty moves, this.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: Is so awesome.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Celebrate. Remember the celebration.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: It was awesome.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: It was like he scored a touchdown.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 10: Yes it was.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: But that's how tight that locker room is. And also
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: it tells you how much the Seahawks saw in him
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: when drafting him. While he did have that injury. I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: wonder how much higher he would have gone if not
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: for that injury. But I think he ended up in
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: the perfect spot for him. And you talk about his versatility,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: and that is something that Mike McDonald you just mentioned
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: that Byron Murphy has seen more success in his versatility,
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: and I think it not only provides depth, but also
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: confusion for an offense.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: If you missed our talk with Riley Mills and or
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: just caught the end of it, go to the iHeartRadio
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: app download nine through three KJR, or just go to
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: our website nine through three KGr dot com The Greg
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: Bell Show. There's a tab there with our podcast. They'll
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: be up after the show ends. Really good discussion. It
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: gives you a little bit of a scene behind the
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: scene and his path back from that reconstructive surgeon. I
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: still I'm laughing about a Great Dane in the back
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: of an RV for twenty.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Two hours with the whole family you know me machine
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: like the you know, try to get the range of moment,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: range of movement back and all that. Yeah, range of
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: motion whatever they call it. Yeah, I could just and
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: he's just stuck. He's just stuck. And then there's a
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: scared great Dane just around.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: What a steplo that must have been now here here
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: He is a Seahawks on the starting defense of a
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion with a Super Bowl ring. Already great
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: year for Riley Mills. Up next, your chance to be
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: a part of the show. Four nine, four five one
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: in the Commodage tech Line. Hopefully we have a couple
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: of talkbacks too. I don't know. Jessman really demands.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: That please don't make me scold you anything.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: You'd like to talk about whatever's on your mind. We'll
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: talk about next on ninety three point three KJRFF.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 14: Good morning, Jessmon and Greg. After watching the Dodgers game,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 14: I wonder if this team needs to play some really,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 14: really tough competition to get them fired up. I wonder
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 14: if they need to know that they can beat the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 14: Dodgers in case they see them in the series, and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 14: if they just need to know that they can win
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 14: these games.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 13: And I think this could be a really good series
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 13: for us.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 14: I'm hopeful go Ems.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be the presumed opponent if the Parts
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: can somehow even get out of the America League West.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: They've messed themselves up in but there's some true I mean,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: they were fired up. LUs it helps when they win
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: when they're losing.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: Their to see the fire.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some fire. And that team has not
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: had fire at times this year, and it's been perplexing
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: and frustrating and maddening and all of that.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Lowe's continue to make things low and
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: then you know, if it's just one game that all
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, you see fire, Give me that, Give
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: that keep her going exactly. Yeah, not like real fire.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: I know it's mild fire season, so I wasn't talking
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Four nine one is the Tacoma dot checker on the
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app or our website nine two three KJR dot
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: com with the red microphone buttons where you can do
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: your talkbacks. But the text line is four nine four
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: to five one sponsored by Tacoma Dodge. Sam Darnod. You
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: heard him talk earlier in the show. Sam played lights
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: out is from the four two five. Sam played lights
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: out during the NFC Conference championship game and did fine
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. There's nothing wrong in kicking field
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: goals to increase the lead instead of going for it
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: like other short sighted coaches. Yep, Mike McDonald knew it
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: the whole game, just like he knew it in Week
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: eighteen down in Santa Clara. The offense just don't turn
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: it over, get a couple first downs, let Michael Dixon
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: pin the defense, put the defense in an advantageous position,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: pinning the opposing offense against its goal line, and let
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: him try to drive ninety yards to score.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 13: Well.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: And Sam said as much too that you know his
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: dream was to you know, throw four hundred yards in
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: the Super Bowl, right, But he knew what he had
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: to do, and he saw what was happening, and he
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: admitted that he said that.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: And the flip side, of course, is in the positive.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: It was easier for him to discard the Super Bowl
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: and be motivated to be better because he didn't think
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: he played well in that game, missing some key throws.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Like we talked about earlier in the show four two five,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: concientious articulation tell I should say that with more articulation.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: I was going to say my speech therapist wife would
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: want me to say that with more articulation. Conscientious articulation
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: tells more about Sam than the events in facts he highlighted.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: Tells you about the details he focuses on in his life.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: I asked you at the top of the show, what
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: were your favorite moments of the mariners explicable win last
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: night over the Dodgers in LA four to two five.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: I had two favorite moments from last night's game. The
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: first was the second home run by Canzone. Not because
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: of the significance of the home run, but the fact
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: that he hit it with intent two fifteen feet of
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: the first one. That was really impressive, to within fifteen
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: feet of the first It did land almost where the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: first one did. And the black back ground hitting backstop
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: to dead center field. For me, the most important favorite
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: part I like in the game was after Julio hit
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: his home run. Aaron Goldsmith's and Mariners TV reported that
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: it was the first time that he and cal It
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: hit a home run in the same game since April.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: Wow, I did not know that that. It was not
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: as sad I was paying attention to me, to be honest,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: but huh interesting.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: That could sure help them down the stretch.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: Uh, if I can continue, it's sure good.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: Favorite part of last night's game watching the slow reprey
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: excuse me slow replay. Well, Wendy's going to be so
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: many I know, I know, unfortunately she has a real
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: job with real patience right now. But favorite bart last
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: night's game is watching the slow replay over Robleski dropping
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: an F bomb the Dodger starter when Julio hit his
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: home run.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: I do love those slip readings, and.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Now the cameras of the slow motion replay they can
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: pick up on all that.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: It's pretty easy. Sometimes we don't need a John Boy
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: for everything.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, These jobs easy on that one Rick
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: from the two five to three Dom's bat flip was amazing.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: It wasn't so much as a flip as a dismissive.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, just so it's gone. Like he both hands. It
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: wasn't like a you know, a toss. It was just bye, bat,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: don't need you anymore. That one's gone. Oh. I watched
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: it over and over again.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: Michael from the two five three says the Victor Rode
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: Blaze moment of someone of throwing the ball out of
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: his glove from the warning track with Otani run around
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: the bases has to be the best for the fact,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: if we had lost that game, this would have been
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: some That play would have summed up the season so
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: poetically perfect. But we grounded out and they showed themselves.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: We ground out the win and we showed themselves we
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: ain't dead yet. Go ms continue to refuse to lose.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: They're not though, That's the thing, and that's the fire
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: I was talking about, Like give me fire and no.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: No, when if you will give me fire, give me
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: that desire.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: Pretty good. We came out of nowhere this one.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: Sorry, but it just I said it so I had
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: to make the reference.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of you don't want to hear it,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: but they really aren't totally out of this when they're
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: only two and a half back of a terrible division,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: a terrible division. But this is what Chris sports is crazy,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: isn't it. Yesterday we're talking about how terrible they were
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: in Texas, how they lose three out of four. Now
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: they're going to go to Dodger State EUM and get swept.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: What is going on? And they win one game out
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: of one sixty two and we're talking about, Hey, they're
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: not dead and wow.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, especially especially baseball because of how long the season is, right,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: it's constant.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: But this division is just so so bad that any
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: hot streak at all and they're gonna be in first place,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: even from two and a half back, but four or five.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: So a low streak from you know, one of the
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: other two Texas jerks.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: Which is coming the season, says it's coming five hundreds
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: leading the division right now, so yeah, it's coming.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, we have a little bit of a shift here.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: But another talk back came in, and as I love
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: your voices, I always want to feature though.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 15: Hey Greg, Hey Jess, So I got a question for
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 15: you guys. The Army Navy game. It's a great game,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 15: but I think you should be a standalone game. What
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 15: do you guys think about moving from instead at the
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 15: end of the season, two week zero and it's the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 15: first game all sports everything, they have the center of
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 15: attention just on that game only, and then we start
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 15: the season from then on.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: I think that's the greatest way to do that. Here
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: is why that will never happen. It would never stand
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: alone in August because of a reason unique to the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: service academies. In mid August, the cadets and the midshipman
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: are still out on military training. We don't just go
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: home and kick back and go on the beach for
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: the In military academies, you go for on summer training
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: and you go to an active military base. You go
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: to an Army base or a Navy base, and you shadow.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: You job shadow, like Zach mcfarman's doing today. You job
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: shadow lieutenants. I stayed at lieutenant in Sackets Harbor, New York,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: on Lake Ontario at Fort Drummond. One of my summers,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: I was in a recruiting battalion in Columbus, Ohio. Learning
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: at the recruiting battion I was an eye opening experience
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: learning about military recruiting of high schoolers. One of my summers,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I was in field training and Upstate New York, I
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: was in airborne school at Fort Benning in one of
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: my summers. So you do all of that in your
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: three four summers there, they don't get back. We don't
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: get back from those until late August, beginning of September.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: So you can't play football in August because you'd have
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: to have training camps and all that. Now the football
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: players have their training military training front loaded, so that July,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: end of July they're done, so they can't do preseason
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: football practice. But you can't have a game in mid
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: mid to late August when you've got guys still out
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: on military training to the first of August. So that's
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: the reason. The other reason is tradition. That if any
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: game in college sports follows tradition and wants to stay with,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: it's the Army Navy game. And there is a there
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: are a lot. There's a lot that goes into that.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: Hotel rooms, travel plans, the cadets schedule, the final exam schedule,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: the academic schedule, all of that comes into play. It's
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: just not like let's move the game and do it.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot that goes into the background to.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: That when it is still a standalone when it's played,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: it is still its own correct.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: But the expanding college football playoff threatens to change that.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: It does. And President Trump, in fact, is trying to
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: sign an executive order who enforced that the Army Navy
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: game stands to remain stand alone. And say what you
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: will about that, but that's what he's trying to do.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: Is and then that may end up being that from
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: noon until three on a Saturday, the second Saturday in December,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: you can't have a college football playoff game. It may
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: end up being just a window instead of a day.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: It used to be. The Army Navy game was right
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: before the SEC Championship game, an ABC doubleheader when I
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: was in school in the early nineties. So it could
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: be something like that where the college football player games.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: But good question, I appreciate it, but there's a lot
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: more it meets to the eye there.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 10: Well, that's why I.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: Wanted to play that, so that you could explain why
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: that wouldn't work.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it immediately came to mind, was the military
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: training in the summer. I was all over the we
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: had kidet's all over the world during military training in
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: July and August every summer. Thanks for asking. It's a
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: good question, and a lot of people, of course that
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have gone through it wouldn't know that what else
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: we got on there.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: There were a couple very much appreciating the Riley Mills interview.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: If you saw a couple of those, we are greg
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: excellent interview. This coming from the two five three excellent
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: interview with Mills. It's hard to imagine a seahawk declining
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: an interview with you. You're so kind and personable with players.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: Not everyone think that. I appreciate that. Not everyone agrees,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: but thank you. Well.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: I think people got to know Mills a little bit
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: more throughout that interview too, where we have not really
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: heard from him except for podium after the Super Bowl
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: things like that. We haven't really had a one on
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: one situation with him, and I'm glad they got to
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: know him.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate that. Thanks for the Hey, Hey, Greg,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: I know this is an odd question from two oh six,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: but how is Drew Locke looking? Heaven forbid, Sam Donald
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: gets hurt and we need Drew to carry the load.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: He looks steady, He looks like he's very comfortable. The
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: offense of Brian Fleury is. Sam Donald mentioned yesterday that
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: the offense is very similar in verbiage to what Kin kuby,
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: and that makes sense because they're both from the Shanahan
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: Tree and the forty nine or system, but that Brian
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Fleury's Cooper Cup was also talking about this yesterday that
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: it's not so much that the words have changes that
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: there's some different emphasis. Drew Lock looks good, he looks comfortable.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: He's accurate throwing. He definitely and has come in in
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: a pinch and won games for this team as a
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: starter when they needed him. I will also say this
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: about Brian Flurry's new offense. You're going to see a
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: lot more I think throws to the tight ends and
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: a lot more throws to the running backs. One is
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: that Price is getting I mean, that's just all he
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: does anymore. Is seemed to be throwing passes. They throw
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: passes twom in the cafeteria I think, and the tight
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: ends because remember the defensive or new offense coordinator, Brian
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: Fleury was the forty nine Ers tight end coach for
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: half a dozen seasons. He's just not going to forget
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: about what he knows the best, and he's got one
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: in A J. Barner. I told Chuck this morning, I
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: think A J. Barn is going to have a Pro
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Bowl on the cuss of all pro season in this offense.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: This year. He's healthier. He had his shoulder and his
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: ankle surgeries that had cleaned up the issues that he
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: played through last year. And he's going to get a
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: ton of opportunities because of how Brian Fleury thinks.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: I got one more.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 16: Yea incoming, g Bell, jess my face, Joel here as
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 16: always army in the under real quick. Why all the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 16: hate on a Rose Arena? I love the Morning Show?
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 16: They said it too, no way he should be back
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 16: this and that. Julio struggles, he gets blasted. We gotta
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 16: start holding Cal accountable.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: He's supposed to be the captain.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 16: Neylor gets blasted, Julio gets blasted.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: Gino ran out of town.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 16: Col's gotta step up your captain camp Bat one sixty.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: Love you guys. Thanks, Joel.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: I got a guy, I get a chance.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, I happen to like a Rose Arena as a player.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: I know he's infuriating at times and he looks like
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: he's not running and all those things, I think I
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: like him as I like him, and I think he
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: gives him something that they don't have, which is some
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: slug and some ability to get on bays and they
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: need that's in the premium right now. And I'm not
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: mistaking any bats on the right side. So all those
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: things considered, yeah, I still think that ta Osco Hernandez
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: letting him go. We saw him last night batting eight
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. What kind of lineup is it when
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: the home run derby champion is batting eight. The Mariners
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: could still use that guy. They said he struck out
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: too much, but yeah, it's they don't know what you
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: got till it's gone, and they need the pop that
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Randy Rose Arena provides for sure. The Mayor and Maple
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Valley Ian for Nass is around here somewhere here in

• 1:19:54
  Speaker 18: a word, but he this feels like a fifty three
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 18: man roster guy. I don't think they're messing around with
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 18: moving him, you know, back and forth with the practice
