Best of Chuck & Buck 4-24 · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: With the thirteenth pick in the twenty sixth NFL Draft,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Ram select.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Ty Simpson, quarterback Alabama.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: And as three hundred and twenty thousand people in attendance
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: reacted and millions watching at home reacted with wow, there
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: was one guy that reacted with damn it, son of
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: a god, and it turns out it was Sean McVeigh.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to tell you this story here in
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: a moment, Joe, It's Chuck and Ashley with you. Day
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: number one is in the books for the NFL Draft,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: and it was great. I mean it was glorious. I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: mean really good balance to the night. A lot of
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: trades took place, but not too many early that kind
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: of threw it all off. I thought there was a
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: nice rhythm to it all. They cut it down to
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: eight minutes the time between picks this year, and yet.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: It still took the same amount of time.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Took the exact same amount of time because they just
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: kind of stockpiled them rather than move on. So we
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: were at one point they were like three picks ahead,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: which we'll talk more about in a moment. But there's
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: some other things to discuss, including Jadarian Price, Ashley and
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I have already discussed Jadarian for fifteen minutes this morning,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: and we'll continue to do that throughout the show today.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: We'll hear from Greg Bell at seven oh five, Rob
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Rang at eight thirty, and Hugh Millan from nine to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: nine forty here today, but I do want to take
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: some time talk about the rest of the draft. The
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: number one pick, Fernando Mendoza. It was weird that Las
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Vegas took almost the entire time on the clock. I mean,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: they've had months, like, you don't need fifteen more minutes
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: with your logo being shown on the television, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: it was. It's just straining. And then he's just a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: little bit of strange. He's just an odd little character.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I root for him. I hope he ends up being
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: a great leader of men. I know he was a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: great leader of young men. I know at Indiana they
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: love him, yeah, and I know at cal they love him,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: even though they all admit he's a little goofy. But
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see how it's going to impact thirty
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: two year old millionaires. I'm not sure. I'm not sure
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: about that. It's the one question I have about Mendoza.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, he obviously got some coaching on public speaking,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and so now he just gives really short, smiley answers
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and then smiles and says God bless at the end.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Which maybe he's just not a good public speaker,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: and he's just an awesome teammate and the most supportive
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: human ever, and people are gonna love him that way.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: And I mean, I will say there are certain aspects
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: of him that remind me a lot of Russell Wilson
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: when he came into the NFL, because he was such
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: a goofy nerd, right, I mean, wearing his Hawaiian shirts
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: and he just kind of stood out like a sore thumb.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: But people liked him then, Yeah, And so it wasn't
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: until he decided that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: He was too cool for the too cool that all
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of a sudden I all talked into that that all
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: these problems happened.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: But it doesn't seem like Fernando Mendoza has the same
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: kind of ego. Yeah, well that and he doesn't. He's
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: not going to be as he's not going to be
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: talked into things from other people.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: He seems comfortable in who he is at least well.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Uh, we'll say, I mean I root for him. I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: this might be the greatest student of the game that
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: we've seen since Peyton Manning, and maybe even more so.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's like memorized all of Las Vegas's playbook,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: all of the Raiders history. Like that's the impression that
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: he's made on people. So he's going to work and
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: he's tough as nails and he's really good too. So
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I hope it works out for him. Maybe not the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: but I hope it look works out for them. Had
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the number two big David Bailey, the addresser out of
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech. Again, I thought there was some smoke thrown
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: at the end, and it threw me off, But it
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: sounds like the Jets never really did consider anybody else,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and I do think this is the right choice. I mean,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: one thing that was not discussed. There were four Ohio
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: State players taken in the first eleven picks last night,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: three defensive players. That was just a phenomenal defense. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I think one thing that doesn't get discussed enough. I mean,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: we always talk about during the college season quarterbacks being
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: products of the system, you know, we don't talk about
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: it on defense hardly at all. And we also don't
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: give credit to the guy that actually was great and
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: wasn't surrounded by all that talent. And don't get me wrong,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: text Tech was a playoff team. They were surrounded by talent,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: But how do we know that Ohio State wasn't. All
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: those individual players didn't look better than they are because
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of the sum of the parts. Where David Bailey. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: watched a few games of David Bailey, and yeah, he's
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: got Lee Hunter, and he's got Jacob Rodriguez. He had
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: talent around him, but I watched him in their biggest games,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: just dominate teams. And so to me, he is a
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: plug and play step in day number one, probably gonna
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: be a double digit sack guy his very first year
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League. So I thought it was
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the right choice. I'm gonna defend the Arizona choice too,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: even though a lot of people are slamming it. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: mean the running back debate of if you don't take
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a running back this high, not in today's game, it
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: falls flat because he's not just a running back. You
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: do take somebody that is going to get you thirteen
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: hundred yards rushing and nine hundred more yards receiving. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: you know somebody that impacts both phases of your offense.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You're damn straight, that's where that's a receiver and a
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: running back in one. You don't think Christian McCaffrey was
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: worth his pick in the draft. You don't think Bjon
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Robinson was worth his pick in the draft. Adrian Peterson
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley weren't worth their pick in the draft. He's
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: in that, he's in that group, and I think he was.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: He's worth that pick in the draft.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: When you mentioned Christian McCaffrey and yesterday, oh that alone
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: right there, I was like, yep, that whatever pick, you
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: get him out.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: If you can get Christian McCaffrey, you take him. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I have no problem with them doing it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Yes, they had other needs, but again they're also trying
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: to please a fan base who's probably a little frustrated
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: with them, and that's a good way to do it well.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And they did whenever they floated out there, and it
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: sounds like it was the owner that wanted him, even
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: though they were trying to play it off like the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: general manager didn't really want him. Well, they looked really
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: happy last night. Bet they looked ecstatic last night. But
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: as soon as they kind of floated it out there
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and they got their fan base. The entire city of
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Phoenix is like obsessed.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Became obsessed with the idea of Love being on the team,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and then there was really no pulling it back then.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: If they announced anybody else last night, they're going to
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: just crush their fan base. Instead, they exhilarated them. Yes,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: and I think Jeremiah Love is going to be fantastic,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and that's not great news for Seahawk fans because we
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: have face from twice a year going forward. The first
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: wow pick was the fourth pick Carnell Tate to Tennessee.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Didn't see that coming. And as much as I like
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Carnell Tait and I've professed that helly he was on
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: my college Big Ten fantasy team that we did, I
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: think he's great, but I didn't expect that he would
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: be the first Ohio State Buckeye off the board, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: yet he was fourth overall to Tennessee. So that was
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the first wow moment.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: So people weren't worried about the forty is what you're saying.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: I think that's pretty clear at this point. Yes, But
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the biggest wow moment was certainly the Tye Simpson pick
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: at number thirteen to the Los Angeles Rams, and it
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: was wow enough. But if you didn't stick around like it,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: you know, wife thinks I'm already goofy enough that I've
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: been watching, you know, players get picked for four hours here.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I can't watch the post game wrap up as well. Well,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I do this for a living. I did watch the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: post wrap up. So what you might not be privy
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: to is the videos that are going on out there
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: showing the press conference afterwards with less need the Rams
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: GM and Sean McVay, the head coach. And it is
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: so obvious, so obvious that Sean McVay is not only
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: not on board with this pick, that he hates the pick,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that he's pissed at Sneid for making it, even to
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the point where when Sneid called Simpson to tell him
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: McVeigh wasn't even in the room, they had to call
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: McVeigh in the room. And then McVeigh gets on the phone,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and then because it's TI's moment, he puts the smile
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: on some congratulations looking forward to working with you, which
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he is. Yeah, but he's spent the rest
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: of the evening pissed off and he spent the rest
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: of the evening making sure everybody knew this is Matt
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Stafford's team for as long as he wants to be
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: his team, and Stetson Bennett is our backup. H So
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: he announced right there in front of less Need that
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: you just drafted a third string quarterback with the thirteenth
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: overall pick. We are this close to being the best
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: team in the National Football League. We got to chase
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: down the Seahawks. We had the thirteenth pick in the draft,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: which we weren't supposed to have. We kind of walked
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: into that. And now you're not gonna give me a
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: piece that helps me be better than the Seahawks for
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the next two to three years? Are you out of
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: your flipping mind?
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: You're going to give me someone that might play in
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: four years, three years, and.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: He won't even be around by then, because if you
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: saw last night, there is a divide between those two guys.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I'm here for it. I'm here for the drama. Yes,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it was fantastic, and I can't wait to talk more
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: about a little bit later on in the show.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: But trust me, they're getting ripped apart today for the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: pick too.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: There is no getting around it less need went out
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: on his own. It's feeling very much like he personally
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: made the decision because he told the Simpson family, who
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: he knows, that your son's definitely a first rounder, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: then the process played out and nobody was wanting to
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: take him in the first round. And Sneid, it's as
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: if he took Simpson because he told the Simpson family,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: your son should leave college and enter the draft because
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: he's definitely a first rounder, and no one else saw
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: him that way, and so he gave up the thirtieth
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: pick in the draft, which he had to get McDuffie,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and so he only had the thirteenth. And it's as
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: if Sneid was just trying to keep his word to
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the Simpson family, so he took Simpson thirteen overall. And
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Sean McVeigh didn't want any part of it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: I don't blame him, and it is aw yes, get
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: out the popcorn, all right.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Coming up next, we'll hear from Jadarian Price on Sports
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Radio ninety three point three KHARFM. It was weird.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: I thought we were going back for sure, and then
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: things just went like no, no, no, no no. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: I think everybody must have been hyper focused there and
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: with like Rutledge, Chris Johnson, fulk, I forget who else
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: written there. I'm sorry, it just happened.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Sorry not sorry.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know he didn't want it to come
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: across that way, but it kind of came across that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: He was disappointed. I know he didn't want to come
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: across that way. Yeah, but obviously the objective was to
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: get Jadari in price and some extra picks. But they
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: ran out of trade partners dance partners last night because
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: of the flurry of trades that happened for him, all
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: the people that I'm sure weeks of talking to over
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the phone to trying to gauge who wants to come
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: up into the first round to draft somebody, all of
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: those teams, it feels like got up ahead of them,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: like we don't want to wait around for thirty two
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and get ahead, So they all moved up ahead of them.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: I mean there were three trades. Three hours went by.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: There were three trades, and all there were significant trades,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: but nothing like, oh my gosh, I can't believe they
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: moved all the way from twenty two kind of trades.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: They were all just a couple of spots and I
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: thought it was the perfect balance. I really do like
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I like trades, but if you have too many, now
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: it starts to get a little convoluted.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: It's too hard to follow.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And I kind of liked sticking picks too, But then again,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I'm a draft praised lunatic a little bit. But then
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: right before as they're getting ready to really own in
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: on who they might take or who they might trade with,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: bang bang bang bang, there were six trades. Yeah, six
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: trades in the span of four picks, and there were
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: two teams that traded twice. Yeah, so yeah, they kind
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of pulled the rug out from underneath Trader John last night,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: and he ended up doing what none of us expected,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: sticking and picking, and he took Jadarian Price the running
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: back out of Notre Dame, which I think is making
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the twelves very happy right now. And so yeah, why
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: not get something of need, get something of value, and
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: why mess around if you're trying to get a running
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: back and it's not a great crop of running backs,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: getting somebody you like filling what looked to be your
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: biggest need. I think a lot of people are okay
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: with it. Yes, maybe it would have been better to
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: have him in some extra picks as well. Yeah, there
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: was a better case scenario for John Schneider in the Seahawks.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: But I think it's just fine.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Sure, Yeah, if it was going to go perfectly, yes,
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: But yeah, it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Was a great night. I just thought it was a
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: really good balance. And I don't get the people like
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: it's a down year for the draft. It's never a
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: down year for the draft. I don't care if it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: not the loaded talent class like we've seen in the past.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: We're still going to have thirty two dreams come true.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: We're still going to have raw emotions being spilled. We're
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: still going to have family celebrating, which is good for
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the heart. You're still gonna have a couple of those
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: turns that are pissed off that they didn't go where
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: they should, yeah, which can't wait to rip them apart
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: later on in the show. And you're still gonna have
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the trade drama and the I can't believe they went
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: there and whoa, that was a reach. You're still gonna
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: have all of that. That's what the draft's all about.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And it doesn't matter what if it's an up year,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: down year, it's still all gonna be there.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Doesn't matter at all. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it does
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: not matter at all from a football fan draft fan standpoint.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: How if the it's a ye're rich with talent or
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: a little off. Maybe it is a little off. That's
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: a hell of a first round. So anyway, welcome to
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: the show. It's Chuck and Ashley. Today. We're reacting to
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: day number one of the draft. We're getting you ready
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: for a day number two, which will start tonight at
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: four o'clock. It'll be rounds two and three. Seahawks picking
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: at sixty four and ninety six. Right now, maybe John
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Schneider will still try to move one of those picks
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: to try to pick up something else in this draft.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: As of now, they still only have there are four selections.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that with Greg Bell here in
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: a moment. Mike Rabel's not going to draft. He's not
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: going to be part of the ceremonies tomorrow for the
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: New England Patriots. He's going to be working on his
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: family on the third day of the draft. Interesting, the
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Rabel Russini story just continues to get larger and larger
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and larger and more convoluted. So maybe we'll have some
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: time to talk about it later.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Maybe not.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Mariner's back in action after a day off there in
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis taking on the Cardinals. Not the atmosphere that
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: you used to have in Saint Louis. Those fans are
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: pissed off in Saint Louis, and they're never pissed off
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: in Saint Louis. But they don't fill up the seats
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: like they used to. And yet it'll be a fun
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: environment and a chance for the Mariners to continue to
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: prove that maybe they did get back on track. George
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Kirby gets the start against Andre Pollant. That's your pitching matchup,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: first pitch at five point FIFTEENA Playoffs. All underdogs won.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Atlanta's up to to one on the Knicks, Timberwolves up
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: to to one on Denver. Toronto won last night, so
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: they got back in the series. They still trailed Cleveland
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: two to one. Boston at Philly tonight, Lakers at Houston,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and San Antonio at Portland victor Winbinyama did make the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: flight to San Antonio, so maybe he will suit up
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: tonight for the Spurs, despite the concussion he suffered in
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Game number two. Stanley Cup Playoffs Buffalo Carolina, Colorado all
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: winners last night. Tonight Tampa Bay at Montreal, Edmonton at Anaheim,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and Las Vegas at Utah. They're hosting their first Stanley
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Cup playoff game in franchise history. Let's talk with Greg.

  Speaker 8: and Butt.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, your cash word today is mediam e
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: da Enter that at ninety three three KJR dot com
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: for your shot at one thousand dollars. I think it's media.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Did I read it?
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: That's just a random word to use for the cash
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: media we're trying to branch out from rand cash.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I think they are. I think they've heard a lot
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: about that used in a sentence. Greg Bell and Chuck
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Powell have spent a combined seventy years in the media,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: and we didn't think that we would be reduced to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: having to give cash keywords every hour of our career,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: and yet here you are, and yet here we are.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell now joins us on the program. Did you
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: have a good night last night?
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I did. It wasn't as long as some draft nights,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: although we waited long time, and then when it happened,
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: it was done and done and out the door. Yeah,
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: it's pretty quick.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it's coming across. Like John and Mike were
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: a little subdued in their post round comments yesterday and
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: almost like they were disappointed. So I want to start
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: the conversation by talking about Jadarian Price, Jenarian Price, the player,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: because I don't think they're disappointed in having Jadarian Price,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: and I think we should clear that up.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: They aren't. It's a value proposition and what they were
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: trying to get better value by trading back and still
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: getting them. They could have drafted Price in the second round,
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: maybe as far as seven ten picks back in the
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: second round, and they tried, and they wanted to, and
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: they thought they had a deal. John Schneider said, I
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: really thought we were moving back. But what happened was
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: they were eight trades all in the first round last night.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Six of them happened right under the Seahawks nose right
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: in front of them. Yeah, from twenty to thirty one,
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: six trades the San Francisco forty nine. I don't think
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: it was their first intent, but they didn't do the
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Seahawks any favors. They pretty much screwed over their rivals
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: by trading down twice right in front of him. Second
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: time they traded down with the Jets, and the Jets
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: jumped from thirty three to thirty one right in front
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: of the Seahawks, And there went the seahawks last chance
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: to have someone trade into the second round. So John
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Schneider ran out of trading partners. There weren't any teams
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: that wanted to trade up anymore by the time the
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: Seahawks picked, and that's why they picked Price where they did.
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: Then it became a proposition of, well, we don't without
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: trading down. They didn't have a pick higher than sixty four,
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: the last pick of round two today, and the proposition became,
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: can we get price at sixty four? And that became
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: too risky of a proposition for them to take on.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: They may have been able to, but they also could
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: have lost them. And they are willing to trade up.
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: They don't want to. So far, it appears they don't
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: want to get into their stash of twelve picks in
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: a much stronger draft next year. So that's why they
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: took Jenerium price. You gotta get that right, Yeah, it's
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: our hidarian price where they did. But I think they
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: wanted to do it late. I know they wanted to
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: do it later with more picks in this year's draft
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: to boot.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and and I want to spend more time on price.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: But since we're discussing this, I mean, with the two
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: picks today, do you think that they stick and pick
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: at sixty four and ninety six since the value won't
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: be the same in a trade down, or do you
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: believe he's bound to determine to get at least one
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: more pick somewhere in this draft.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Well, now becomes harder because if you trade down this
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: bottom pick of the second round or the bottom pick
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: of the third round, you're talking maybe a sixth or
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: seventh round pick instead of a fourth right, And so
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: that's that's I think they're going to stay put. I
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: think they're going to have it appears four picks in
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: this draft, and it won't because they didn't try it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Greg Bell is with us our Seahawks insider, of course,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: on the beat last night for the News Tribune. You
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: can check out his draft recap of Day number one,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: round number one of the draft at the news at
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: the News Tribune dot com, and of course follow him.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: You should be anyway at g Bell Seattle there on
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: x if in fact you are an ex subscriber with us.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: He's here at seven o five to talk as our
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Seahawks insider. All right, so let's talk about price. I mean,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: did they draft RB one last night? Is that the
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: way that you see it at this stage or somebody
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: that's going to have to earn that.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Well, of course you'll have to earn it. But yes,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: they did draft him with the intention of him starting
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: not just this year but eventually. And it's now a
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: head against the recovery of Zach Charmin. If Sharmonick comes back,
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: even if it's in April and or excuse me, October November,
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: if he comes back looking like he was, it's a
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: big if reconstructive knee surgery eight nine, ten months out.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: But if he looks like he was before, then they
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: could possibly resign him and no team will know him
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: and he won't know any other team and wouldn't want
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: to go anywhere else then Seattle, And then you have
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: a two headed consortium of dual job sharebacks like you
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: did this past season that worked out pretty well for
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: the Seahawks offense. So yeah, you don't take a guy
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: in the first round, or if he had traded back
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: with your first pick, and don't think he's the integral
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: piece for three or four years down the road. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: would be very surprised if he wasn't of ten, twelve
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: to fifteen carry back this very first year.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: So is it as simple as he's walker in the interim?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Emmanuel Wilson is charbonnet until he's healthy, and then Halani
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: is third down back. I mean, is it is that
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the way the depth chart kind of looks in your eyes?
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure because I haven't seen myself Emmanuel Wilson
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: in this offense, and I think he Wilson is going
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: to have to earn his place among some incumbents and
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Kenny McIntosh is still in their plans. We'll see, but
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: they have yet to see why they drafted McIntosh in
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: the seventh round three years ago because of all the
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: injuries he's had that knee injury. McIntosh was in July
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: early in training camp, so twelve months. That's a different
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: proposition than Sharboner. His twelve month window for recovery will
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: end with the start of training camp. He may not
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: be on the field for the start of it ramping
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: up puplists probably, but he'll be months ahead of Sharboner,
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: so they'll have months to know whether he can be
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: the guy or a state guy. But they're going to
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: go multiple Hallani impressed them late last season in the playoffs,
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: the NFC title game especially, and he will get it
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: a long look as well. He's a great third dumb
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: back because his past blocking price last night admitted that
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: he's going to do more catching and the Seahawks have
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: already talked about that. The Seahawks Mike McDonald said, the
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: new running back coach, Thomas Hammock is already talking about
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: ball security. With four fumbles at Notre Dame the last
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: couple of years and limited carrys, he only had two
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: hundred and eighty snaps in college over his time there,
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: but he stayed backup to Jeremiah Love the entire time
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: at Notre Dame. He spoke about last night staying at
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: Notre Dame and how he wanted to be there and
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: take on the challenge of being the backup to the
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: best player in the country, as he put it, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Mike McDonald said that ran big with the Seahawks, the
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: fact his loyalty, and we talked about this, the loyalty,
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: the stick to it, and it's the determination of now
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to go chase a money bag and
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: transfer somewhere to get playing time. I'm going to stay here.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: And McDonald said that had a real factor in the
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Seahawks wanting him to add to their culture in the
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: locker room. But the football wise, two hundred and three
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: pounds is what he weighed at the combine. He said
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: that was light. He said he was nervous in training
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: a lot, and he was about seven pounds lighter than
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: he played at Notre Dame last year and he wants
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: to be about two ten. McDonald said the same thing
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: that they scouts found him lighter at the combine and
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: they scouted him at Notre Dame. He can be a
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: kick returner and McDonald said he will get a chance
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: to do that. Of course, Rashidia, he's going to get
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: paid seventeen million dollars to be the Pro Bowl kick
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: returner of this team as well. But suffice to say
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: that there are a couple roles pass catching, kick returning,
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: running the ball. And the main thing for Price that
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: attracted him to Seattle for the coach's staff was outside zone.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: He's a one cut, decisive up the field guy, he says.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: Outside zone is his bread and butter. That's exactly now
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: what Seattle was based upon. They thought he was the
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: running back to fit that system.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I know you love your human interest elements of
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: this draft weekend. You didn't get a lot of time
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: with Jadarian Price last night, but you shared a phone
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: call with the rest of your Seattle media hoard mates.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: And so what did you come away with? What about
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: him personally stood out to you?
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Well, you could hear in his voice when John Schneider
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: called that he immediately broke down crying. He had his family,
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: his high school teammates in Dennis and Texas with him,
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: and his mother is hugely instrumental in his life. His
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: mother's a single mom, had him when she was seventeen
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: years old, and then the father left the picture soon
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: after that, and then when he was Price was twelve
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: years old with young sisters ten and six years old.
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: Price's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and while grandfathers
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: and uncles took his mom to sixteen rounds of chemotherapy,
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: the twelve year old Jarian Price took care of his
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: younger sisters, cooked for him, tended to him. While a
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: middle schooler and going into high school, that is unusual,
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: and Mike McDonald talked about that. I asked him specifically
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: about that, and he said, when you get through that,
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: it changes a person and it resonates and it tells
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: you a lot about the man. And he grew up fast.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: And then when I asked Price about it, he said,
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: my mom's my everything. He basically said, he she's his
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: rock and she has inspired him that if I think
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: it's a bad day or I'm not getting the carries
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: I thought out of the reps, I thought I was
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: gonna get a notre dame. That isn't even close remotely
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: to a bed day compared to what I watched my
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: mom go through when I wasn't even in high school yet.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: And that's the kind of things that the Seahawks they
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: really dive into. I talk about the culture. How the
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: trick for this raft is to get guys to fit
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: into what Mike McDonald wants personality and makeup wise in
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: the locker room. And Jedarian Price has that. I posted
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: the story at the News Tribune dot com this morning
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: specifically about his mother and the inspiration that she is.
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: And yeah, there's a pretty good chance Jedarian Price's mom
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: is going to be at Lehmanfield in September ninth for
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: that first game.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: All right, well, we still got six rounds to go. Obviously,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: are on the clock for two picks tonight, sixty fourth
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: and ninety six. What do we expect? We've checked the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: running back box. What else gets checked this evening?
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah? I think cornerback ed rusher the next two priorities
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: and depth on the offensive defensive lines. I still like
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Brandon Ceci. The way the cornerbacks have fallen down and
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: only one top one in the first I think it
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: was the entire first round. Only one of the top
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: corners have gone down. Colton Hood is still out there.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Jermad McCoy with the knee injury concerns had him drop.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: He's a for top twelve talent. Most people think so.
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: The corners are going to keep pushing down, I think,
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: which lends them to Brandon Zezi from South Carolina at
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: her around sixty four, they'd really feel pretty happy. I
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: think if it comes to that, look for them to
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: go defensive tackle, offensive guard eventually to backfill those interior
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: line of scrimmage positions. The edge dressers. He just can't
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: get enough of those guys, and there this did draft
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: is really deep in them. I would expect that to
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: be in play as well. Again, the trade thing really
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: tough where they are at the bottom of each of
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: those rounds.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. By the way, do you want to interview Ashley
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: for nailing the NFL draft and our little draft that
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: we did yesterday at nine o'clock?
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Do you have any questions?
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: All questions for her? She goes through, Well, she was
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: three for four, but really three for three because of
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: her gameplay.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, oh that's right. She had the two for go.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she had the two for going and then she
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: got Omar Cooper to the Jets and she nailed Jadarian
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Price to the Seahawks. So anyway, she's available for interviews
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: for the News Tribute if I want to do that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: If she if Ashley, if you wear a Christmas tree,
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: you probably deserve all the credit and all the praise
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: you can possibly get. You're definitely earn that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: I'll take it.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: You're welcome. Well done man, all.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Right, well well done by you. Thank you very much.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: We appreciate it. And of course another night tonight and
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I'll see you tomorrow.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: And to say in this morning, oh, we are going
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: to talk Chris Kid and I are going to talk
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: to Jedarian Price's high school coach in Texas today about
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: what who made him who he is? That's at eleven o'clock.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: All right, eleven o'clock today. Anything else? Just a complete
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: draft show today.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: Almost complete drafts. So yeah, that's lots to talk about.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: I cannot believe that Sean McVay that great.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not great. It's not great for ty Simpson,
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: but it is so obvious how pissed he is about that.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I've never met him.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: You never met him. On the Ross Tucker reported last
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: night the Tysipson has never met Sean McVay, the thirteenth
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: pick in the draft. Never ren rel.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Oh man, that's that's the story, that Quay.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: You don't take away, they away they away quarterback at
• 31:33

  Speaker 3: done by less need and kind of behind Sean mcvay's back.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: And that's the way it's coming off. It came off
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: last night in the press conferences, and it's coming off
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: this morning. People are running with it everywhere that he
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: is flat out furious about this selection. And it is whilarious.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I love it. Sorry, not sorry.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that with Hugh coming up at
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: nine o'clock. I have a feeling he has a thing
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: or three to say about that, but coming up next. Hey,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: we've put a lot of time into this thing, so
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of other elements that I want to
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: get two about last night's draft. So why not start
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: our first ever post draft miss Award show, The Draftees
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: Come your Way next on Sports Radio ninety three point
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: three KJRFF. No matter what else is going on, we
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: do it every day, not into false advertising. So let's
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: get it going and we get to start over with
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: the alphabet here on a Friday. As for Andres and
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many people are worked up about this,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: but I'm seeing way too much Andre's Munno's hate on Twitter.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: You've got to be kidding me.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Did you see someone told Ryan Dimish that he should
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: be DFAD?
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I saw that. I really and I don't want to
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: get too much power to that kind of thought. I mean,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: we have to realize that there's always going to be
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: somebody that is just out of their mind, and any
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: conversation that you're going to have, but I'm seeing way
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: too much of it. I get that he's struggling. He's
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: admitting he's struggling out of the out of the gates,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: but he really has only had one terrible outing and
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: one bad outing and the rest of the time he's
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: been pretty good. Don't hold it against him that one
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: of the best young power hitters in the game who
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: is absolutely locked in right now, Nick Kurtz took him
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: deep to tie the game up. I mean, that's going
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: to happen every once in a while against the best
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: in the game. So he's not been as effective. He
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: knows it. But the era this early in the season
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter, because you give up five runs and two
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: thirds of an inning, and it's going to make it
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: look far worse than it actually is. He actually is
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: averaging just about two strikeouts per inning. His fastball velocity
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: is just about the same. Looks like he's added a
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: two seemer this year. That is absolutely wicked. He's just
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: got to get the feel back to his slider and
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: right now he's working on that. That can happen overnight
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: when you've already had a great slider for the last
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: few years. This was not just a good closer in baseball.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: The last couple of seasons, he's been elite and he
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: is going to be just fine. So chill out on Mooney,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Calm down, people. Yes, b is for breaking out, and
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: we are all waiting for our big three to break out,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: and maybe now we have signs of that happening. They
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: were eight eight for fifteen as a cluster and that
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: third game of the A's series, and so that's three
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: dudes all getting multiple hits in the same game. I
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: think Julio's certainly been hitting the ball more solidly, more consistently.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Josh and Cal have worked their batting averages up to
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: nearly two hundred, and nobody's satisfied before. Somebody says it
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: on the text line with him hitting two hundred, but
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: you got to get to two hundred before you can
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: get to two fifty, before you can get to two
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: seventy five. So after their cold start as a trio,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: it does for the first time kind of feel like
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: all of them are seeing the ball right now. So
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: hopefully in Saint Louis we're going to experience the breakout
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: of our Big three. See is for Cardinals, that's the opponent.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: The Saint Louis Cardinals interesting team so far this season.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Like every team in the National League Central right now,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: they all have winning records right now. That was not
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: supposed to happen. The Saint Louis Cardinals are not supposed
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: to be good this year. They don't even they don't
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: even think they're supposed to be good. They're supposed to
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: be and this rarely happens for a great organization. But
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: they've kind of mismanaged some things lately. They just spent
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: about a decade just drafting a bunch of softball players
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: rather than athletes, and it came back to bite them,
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: and so they've been struggling a little bit around five hundred,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: little bit below five hundred the last couple of seasons.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: It's not something that Cardinal Baseball, Cardinal Baseball fans are
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: used to. So they sort of gave in, got a
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: new general manager, and this was supposed to be, let's
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: go with the young guys, let's get rid of Aeronato,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: let's rebuild this thing, which they rarely do in Saint Louis.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: And instead they're fourteen and ten right now. Meanwhile, the
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: team that is the defending American League West champs and
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: are supposed to win the American League this year. We're
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: eleven and fifteen right now, so pretty much if you
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: flip those records, that's what you would have expected at
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: this point in the season. So they're not as good
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: as their record indicates, and we're not as bad as
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: our record indications.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Hopefully we can flip that this weekend.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Then I will say this though, this Jordan Walker, who's
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: been a top prospect for them for years and has
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: really struggled his first two years in the bigs, looks
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: like he's figured some stuff out. And he's six six,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: about two forty and he can hit, so he looks
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: like he's figured something out. And treat yeah, something to
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: be concerned about, and then just quickly dias for Donovan
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: because it stinks that Brendan Donovan, who is beloved in
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: this city, doesn't get to return home as a part
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: of the Mariners and you know, wave to them and
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: remind him that he gets his uniform dirty by the
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: second inning every game. They love him here. I know
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: he wanted to go back on this trip and be
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: a part of this team. He might be on the tree.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, could they still take him on
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: the track.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so he might get acknowledged. You know, we wanted
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: to play in this series.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I hope, I hope that he's at least there though.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: All Right, O Jo's next plus your cash contest. Word

• 38:53
  Speaker 3: number one yesterday kind of made all that draft is
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: hard work worth it.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, it's nice when it all when it pays
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: off and you go through the whole month just planning
• 39:01

  Speaker 3: Yeah, they saw that Hart worthwhile. I'm so glad they
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: didn't cancel it. You know, you and I put in
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: all that effort, and then if I would have found
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: out yesterday they were just like, you know what, couldn't
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: get enough people here? Old thing off the worst. Yeah,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: the band, the band had to cancel. So we're going
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: to cancel the whole operation.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you can't have a year without draftmas.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I know, I know. Three hundred and twenty thousand people
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: showed up in Pittsburgh. That's that's considered a small market. Yeah,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty thousand people showed up. They shut
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: down a bridge, a major thoroughfare to accommodate the draft
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: last night in Pittsburgh, and no one complained because they're like,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: why is the bridge shot? I'm trying to get home. Oh,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: the Steelers are doing a big party in the Oh
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: that's fine.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: And again, kids did virtual learning. It was virtual learning yesterday.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: It is the same thing today. How many people are
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh for the draft? Yeah, but no, it's not
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: a big deal. The NFL Draft not a big one.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: Are you guys talking about there? Nobody cares about this.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: No one cares.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Well, we have a Grand Slam Cash contest. Word for

  Speaker 3: win to ninety three three kjar dot com used in
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: a sentence, I sure hope somebody wins, because then it
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: will be worthwhile that I have to do this every hour.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: I really like it when you use it in a sentence.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get started your eight top stories of
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: the day to get you set for the weekend, to
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: recap the week as well. It is your full service,
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: one stop shop for news and information, water cooler talk

  Speaker 3: that you're gonna need all week in long, especially now
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: that you're hanging out with the buddies around the barbecue
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: pit more frequently.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: That's right, get around that pit.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: We're of course going to start with the NFL Draft,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: where the Seahawks decided last night to stick and pick
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: at number thirty two. Dylan, when you're ready, stage is yours?
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: What's going on? That's Rod?
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: This kid is the best Leez.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited to be here to represents the twelve
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: oh and inger Jesan.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: You got excited.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: And with that with the thirty second bick in the
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixth NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Janarian
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Bryce Notre Dame running back. Oh uh, Dylan, Yeah, I
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: was Dylan see Hawk fan. Was that the make a wish?
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: He was a make a wish he is he has
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: beaten cancer twice, including the brain tumor.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, and the excitement.
• 42:10
  Speaker 5: I was like, man, if you aren't pumped after they
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: could have picked anyone, Dylan had me so fired up.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: I did not care.
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Three things stood out to me about it that Ashley
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: loved it so much. He was, you know, texting last night. Yeah.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: Number two, how Terry Ryan and every engineers slash stage
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: manager you'd be like, don't grip.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Then, don't grip the money, take it away from your.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: Face, take it away from your face.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: But he was just so adorable and so excited, and
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: I love that he like he just had it together
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: when he was like, oh man, the rating, I mean,
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: he was in it.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: And then the third thing that struck me is that
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: no one in Pittsburgh could boo the kid because he'd
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: survived cancer twice, even though you know, they did not
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: want to hear him scream at the top of his lungs. Yeah,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: that the Seahawks were champion, so they had to just take.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: It, and yeah, it was the best.
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: And then the fact too that he goes from Super
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Bowl champions and with that and it's like so business,
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: good job, Dylan.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he just crushed it.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: It was awesome. The pick was Jadarian Price, running back
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: out of Notre Dame. I mean, if you followed along
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: at all with the draft story, the one the Seahawks
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: we've narrated here in the last month leading up to
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: last night, then you certainly were familiar with the name.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Jadarian Price. Might have been the guy we discussed most
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: frequently on these airwaves, considered by the strong consensus of
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: draft analysts to be the second best running back in
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: the draft, but he was never anything more than a
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: backup running back in college. He just happened to be
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: backing up the best running back in the country and
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: maybe the best player in the country. It marks the
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: first time an NFL draft history that the top two
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: running backs taken in the draft were from the same school.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Price will finally get his chance to be a RB
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: one and it'll happen in the pros. And one of
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: the about that, there are a couple of things about that.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: On the positive side, plenty of tread on those tires.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: He didn't get used and abused at the college level,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: where an NFL team would have been. I don't know,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: you're gonna hit the wall earlier than most. If you're
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: drafting him, you're getting somebody fresh as a daisy. If
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: you're John Schneider. He has not really taken the abuse
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: that running backs of this caliber tend to take because
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: of the unique situation that he was in at Notre Dame.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: On the downside of that, something that Hugh Millen was
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: talking about last night in our draft coverage. He weighs
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: only two hundred and three pounds. That's ten pounds lighter
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: than ken Walker, who wasn't exactly a big running back,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: And of course ken Walker had his injury issues here,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: and so what you have is a guy that's slightly
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: under what you would want out of a RB one
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: in terms of his size. Plus the mystery that can
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: this guy get a lot of carries because he never
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: has we've never seen him take abuse. How do we
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: know he will be able to take the abuse of
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: the National Football League? How do we It's not that
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: we don't think he's durable. We just don't have any
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: proof that he is durable.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Right, we don't know what we don't know.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but draft experts, all of them like him. Yeah,
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: there's no way that doesn't like him. And the selection
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: certainly satisfies what many believed to be the World Champion's
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: biggest hole on its roster following the loss of Walker.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: But although the price might have been right, he may
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: not have been the showcase showdown. John and Mike thought
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: that they were bidding on the Hawks, had a plan
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: to trade down from thirty two the entire time, and
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: yet that got foiled. Here's GM John Schneider after the draft.
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, great player, great person. We thought we had some
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: opportunities for a minute. They fill apart, like there's not
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: trading going on there, right and like right ahead of us.
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: But I mean he was he kind of stood alone.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, great player, the person's outstanding, the competitor, he's
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: just I mean, he's a seahawk. It's it's it's really cool.
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: And we were kind of actually concerned that people were
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: gonna go ahead of us because it was I felt
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: like it was just so out there, you know, in
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: terms of like mock drafts, and what have you.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: John Schneider hates mock drafts.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: You could hear in terms of mock drafts.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: He hates it. I don't know why.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: I mean speculation, that's half the fun. It's fun.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: It's building up the hype. You don't have to make
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: some snotty comment every year that they don't know what
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: they're talking about, and you do. You got us two
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: super Bowl rings. We all know that you know what
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: you're talking about. Let us have our fun.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let us play calm down. Yeah, you know, it's
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: like fantasy football for the NFL draft.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: It's just fun.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: It's fun. Well, the Hawks works back to trade down
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: from the last pick in the round all along, but
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: as he mentioned, there were six trades within the span
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: of like eight picks at leading up to the Seahawks picks.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: So all of the possible trade partners that the Seahawks
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: were engaged with undoubtedly over the last few weeks, Like
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they knew a lot of candidates for wanting
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: to trade up into the first round, and they probably
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: had some tentative stuff planned with them, and that was
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: supposed to be at thirty two, like an easy phone call.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: All right, we got to pick. We got your guy,
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: we don't want them, Let's move down, and instead all
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: of those teams moved up ahead of them, and it
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: went bang bang bang bang bang. There were six trades
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: and the span of actually it was six picks. I
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: mean two teams traded twice. Yeah, in the span of
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: six picks, and so all of a sudden, John's watching
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: before his eyes all of those second round trade dance
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: partners kind of just dis and the next thing he knew, Man,
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: it's more valuable just to stick and pick and get
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: our guys, stay and play here at thirty two. Let's
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: not mess around with this. I don't want to have
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: to trade too far down into the second round because
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: I might miss out on my pick that I want.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: So we went ahead, stuck with a pick. He goes
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: with Jadarian price.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm glad they did.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, if it wasn't going to work out in
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: the perfect plan of what we all thought was going
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: to happen, moving to thirty four and then still getting
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: your guy, okay, well, at least we got our guy.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And the Ty Simpson thing as well, that was
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: supposed to be a guy crazy, that was supposed to
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: be available to them in the rams comedically ruined that
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: possibility as well. So look, you just got to look
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: at it as you got a guy you wanted, and
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: maybe you didn't get everything out of that process that
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: you wanted to get out of it, but you landed
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: somebody that you liked, satisfied a need, and so I
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: think you should feel happy about it. There was some
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: criticism that John and Mike sounded subdued and almost disappointed,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: but it had nothing to do with the player. It
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: had everything to do with the process didn't work out
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: They hoped, right, and they I mean they're both very smart.
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: They probably thought they had it all planned out perfectly
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: and it was going to go that way, and when
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: it didn't and it just went to chaos, I think
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: they were surprised.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Well, now we get ready for day number two of
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: this three day extravaganza. Tonight you'll have rounds two and
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: three that will be held. No, I'm just getting warmed up,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: that's right. And then on Saturday we'll have rounds four
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: through seven and you've got complete coverage right here at
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJARFM Seattle currently has
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: just three picks. Remaining sixty four, ninety six and one
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: eighty eight. The remaining needs we all seem to agree
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: are defensive back and an edge rusher at least edge
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: rushing depth, and so that's what they seem to be
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: after now it should be worth noting, well, just now
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: trade down. Okay, sure you can trade down from sixty four,
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: you can trade down from ninety six. Hell, you can
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: trade down from one eighty eight. But the longer you
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: go into the draft, the least less valuable that pick becomes.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: So their most their best opportunity to trade down and
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: get some extra draft capital was at thirty two. Thus
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: the frustration, the disappointment that you heard in their voices
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: last night. They can trade down from sixty four, but
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: you're probably going to get a fifth rounder at the
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: best or sixth rounder thrown in there, and that's just
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: not as valuable as what you could have had by
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: trading down at thirty two. So Greg Bell told us
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: a couple of hours ago his expectation is that they
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: stay at sixty four, and they stay at ninety six
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: and satisfy those two other big needs that they seem
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: to have to us, which is edge and also cornerback.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: It was surprising to me, though, that Greg said this
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: morning that he thought Brandon Seasik could still be an
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: option at sixty four, because I wouldn't.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: I would have thought. But the way everyone's fallen, Yeah,
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: the way.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: That the corner fell and are continuing to fall. I
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: think there were only two taken in the entire first round,
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, Chris Johnson to Miami and then
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Delon Delon to the Chiefs. I think those are oser. Yeah,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Man sore Delayne, Delaanne Delaney. I heard it pronounced by
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: somebody from New Orleans who delaana, which is what that's
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: my preferred pronunciation, but I think he goes by just Delaine.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: But anyway, the cornerbacks did drop last night, so maybe
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Ceas could be there by the seashore for the Seahawks
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: to pick. At sixty four. We shall see Rob Ring's
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: gonna join us at eight thirty. We'll get his thoughts
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: on what happened last night and who he thinks could
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: be available at sixty four. At eight thirty. Hugh was
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: going to join us at nine o'clock, so we'll have
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: nearly a full hour with you Hew at nine o'clock
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: breaking it all down Draft coverage day number two on
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Same thing on
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Saturday as well, with Ian and myself hosting on Saturday.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: So Ian and I will be working on Saturday. Mike
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: Rabel will not be working on Saturday. So yeah, so
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: it just be it'll be just the just the two
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: of us. Uh. Rabel did announce uhh yesterday that apparently
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: some well not apparently, some new information has come out.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Turns out that the Mike Vrabel Diana Russini relationship affair
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: has been going on for a long time and at
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: that point Rabel he Patriots PR had to remove him
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: from the scene. So he announced yesterday in a press
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: conference that he's not going to be involved on day
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: three of the draft. Uh and spoke in a press
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: conference right before the draft.
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: So last two and a half weeks, we go from
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: your original statement about you know, any situation, the votus
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: or anything other than it was lappable to your comments
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: Tuesday to now deciding to go to counseling.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: What is that process?
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: Well, that's uh, that's a private and personal matter. I
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: don't think that those comments. I think that that was,
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: you know, always in an attempt to protect your family,
• 53:08
  Speaker 9: and I would never be dismissive. But I think my
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: family and this football team and the most important thing,
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: and that's that's what I plan to do, and I'm
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: excited about the challenge.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: You're trying to protect your family. You wouldn't had a
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: seven year affair with somebody that a lot of your peers.
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: Have been with.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, and also to say that's laughable when people
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: ask about photos. It wasn't like someone just saw them
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: and said, oh, I saw these people and then you say, oh,
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: that's laughable. No, there was photo evidence, and so you
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: come out and you say that's laughable. No, that is
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: actually dismissive. So to say that wasn't supposed to be dismissive,
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: what was it supposed to be because you were one
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: hundred percent dismissive.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Well, not to mention, I don't like the argument that
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: might have been me trying to protect your family. No,
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: you're trying to protect yourself from your family.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: Your family is the last people you've been thinking about
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: this whole time.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, that story's not over, man. It just keeps
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: getting more convoluted. And if I were to follow Instagram
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: and TikTok and Twitter. Twitter's lead. That's all we would
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: be talking about today because it seems like that's all
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: anybody's talking about everywhere. Yeah, so we at least had
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: to put it in the OCHO. But I'm not going
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: to spend a lot of time on it because I
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: still have stuff from a great first day of the
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: NFL Draft to get to his item number five and
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: our eight item. Oho. We haven't even talked about the
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: rest of the teams in the National Football League in
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: the O show. And perhaps the biggest surprise that happened
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: last night was at pick thirteen, were.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: The thirteenth pick in the twenty twenty sixth NFL Draft,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams select.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: Ty Simpson, quarterback Alabama.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Now we were all surprised. This added some juice last night,
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: and my reaction to it was good on Ian Rappaport
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: because he was reporting on this relationship between less Need
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: and the Simpson family all day long, and I'm like,
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: good for him. He really had that story. I didn't
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: hear anybody else talking about it, so that's what I
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: went with. And then I'm like, well, obviously the Rams
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: really liked this kid all along, and they traded away
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: their thirtieth pick, and so if they were going to
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: get him, they only had the thirteenth pick to use
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: in order to get him. But it was still the
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: wow moment because all the talk by the end of
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: the draft miss process was that he might not even
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: go in the first round, and the Rams end up
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: taking him at thirteen. Overall that then it gets really
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: fun because apparently Rams general manager Less Need did not
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: consult with his head coach Sean McVeigh on the matter
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: at all. He made the pick. Sean McVay has never
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: spoken to the kid. When asked about it by Kay
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: Adams in an interview a couple of weeks ago, McVeigh said, no,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: we won't be taking Ty Simpson. I've done no work
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: on him at all. Oh perfect, and then Snead. It
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: feels like cook Simpson because he told the Simpson family
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: that he's a first rounder. Simpson left college and now
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, Sneed looked like, oh no, I
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: misled that family he's not going to get drafted in
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: the first round, so he decided to take him anyway.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, he obviously really likes him, right, but his
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: head coach does not. And in the post game or
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: post draft press conference, mcdagh look noticeably agitated, very short
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: with his answers, and he hammered home two things. Number one,
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Matt Stafford's our quarterback for as long as he wants
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: to be. And number two, our backup is Stetson Bennett.
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and why would you the thirteenth pick on not
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: making your team better?
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: Right now? You are not far off from being Super
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: Bowl champions yourself.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: Now that's what passes him off.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you did something that doesn't help you at all
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: Or next year, next year or probably the following year
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: is baffling. Mendoza did go number one to Vegas. The
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: Jets did choose David Bailey over Rvel Reese, who ended
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: up falling five to the Giants Miami. Reuben Bain Junior
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: probably was the biggest slip to fifteen in Tampa Bay.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: He was angry about it. He shouldn't be. That's a
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: good fit for him. And defensive tackle Caleb Banks was
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: probably the biggest reach last night at eighteen two Minnesota.
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: Most people had him as a second round value pick.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: Mackay Lemon Philly and host Pittsburgh created some drama last
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: night as well. As Lemon was on the phone with Pittsburgh,
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: the Steelers telling them they were going to take him
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: at twenty one. Philadelphia moved up ahead of them and
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: grabbed Lemon in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys. So
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: some great drama last night. Just a great night. It
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: was a great draft. Yeah, all right, we got other items.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: There are other things going on in the sports world,
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: including the Mariners heading to my old neck of the
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: Napeuh yeah, head to Saint Louis rebuilding. Saint Louis Is
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: off to a fourteen and ten start that didn't make sense.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: Defending AL West champs and AL Pennant favorite Seattles off
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: to an eleven and fifteen start that doesn't make sense either.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: So hopefully we prove that all of those preseason predictions
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: are accurate and we start turning the tables on the
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis Cardinals. George Kirby starts tonight. Andre Pollant right hander.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Good news, he's right handed.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, we got this.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna pitch for Saint Louis. First pitch from
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis at five fifteen the NBA Playoffs, it was
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: a night for the underdogs, not that anybody watched it
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: because they decided to put all the games on a
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: streaming channel against the NBA Draft. I hope four people
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: watched the NBA playoffs last night. But the Atlanta Hawks
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: are starting to make things really interesting on the miss.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: If there is one and you're going to be able
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: to rebound it, get it in McCombs. Fire Hawks take
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: the lead one oh nine. Oh what away. He's made
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: two game winning shots within the last ten seconds of
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: the game already in this series.
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 59:06
  Speaker 10: C J.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: McCollum. The next biggest nightmare man if I can get
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: before the end of the weekend. Sean mcmade a punch
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: less need and the Knicks to get knocked out of
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: the first round of the playoffs. That would be amazing.
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup playoffs look fun. Wish we were at that party.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: Jason Bottrel this week, of course, was the latest person
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: within the Kraken organization to apologize that the Krack and
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: have not yet gotten it right. Well.
• 59:37
  Speaker 11: I think the future of the Seattle Cracking is very bright.
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: Bottom line is is we're not where we want to
• 59:43
  Speaker 11: be after five years. It's an important time for our franchise.
• 59:51
  Speaker 11: We have a strong foundation here, but changes need to
• 59:54
  Speaker 11: be made. When I was introduced last year, as Jim,
• 59:59
  Speaker 11: were very clear that I would have final say in
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 11: hockey operations decisions. We may change us on and off
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 11: the ice, to our players, to our coaches, to strengthen
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 11: this team. When I reflect back on the season, there
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 11: are moments that I was very proud of. We talked
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 11: at the start of the year but wanting to be
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: in the playoff hunt. We were, but ultimately we fell short.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: Jason Botrel earlier this week, man, they're saying the same things.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to say the right things. They're saying
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: the same things now organizationally over there. For those that thought,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: oh man, he sounds a little uncomfortable. Sounds like they
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: are a few pauses, pregnant pauses in between those words, Well,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: if you ever had to speak while being directly.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: Over a hot seat, it's uncomfortable.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: It's very uncomfortable. So they got this is a really
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: important offseason for a lot of people, and Jason Botrel included.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Buffalo won over Boston last three to one. They're up
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: to one Carolina and Ottawa. They's been a great series
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: and poor Ottawa. They've lost all three, but they have
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: gone toe to toe with one of the best teams
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: in the NHL. Colorado also has had a little bit
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: of difficulty with the Kings, and yet they're up three
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: to zero tonight. Tampa Bay at Montreal, Las Vegas at Utah,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Edmonton at Anaheim. All of those series are tied at
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: one goal apiece. And then let me throw in a
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: ninth item with the ohow here today Sounders in FC
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: Dallas tomorrow at seven point thirty and that will be
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: at Loomenfield, all right, coming up next. Rob rang joins
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: us his thoughts on Day one of the NFL Draft
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: and who he thinks the Seahawks might get in Day two.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. That's another thing
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: about draftness that might have an advantage over our old
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: friend Christmas Sanna has never had to conduct a press conference.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: He just drops off this trail and leaves. He doesn't
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: have to answer for it. It's not like, hey, you've
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: got me ties and cologne. I asked for a PlayStation.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: You know what what gives big Man? Yeah? No, John Schneider.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Schneider Claus has to answer for it. And look at
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: Saint Pickolas, Sat Pickolas himself. I'm gonna do all of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: that work for you during Draftmas, to talk to you
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: about who should go where. And yet, once the picks
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: start being made, who's here but Saint Pickolas, that's right
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: right at our doorstep, ready to share with us all
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: of his vast knowledge that he's gained over the years
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: being a powerful entity during the Draftmas. Holidays, sail fany
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: goodness are Draftmas. Joining us on the program is our
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: NFL Draft expert from Fox Sports, Rob ring Is with us.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: Good morning, sir, Good morning. How it was a fun
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: night last night.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 10: I was.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: I was just talking about this with Ashley Ashley a
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: little bit earlier. I don't care if the draft is
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: a down year for talent, what does that matter. There's
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: still the same drama. There's still thirty two kids. Last
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: night they got to see a dream come true. Still,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: all the things that we love about the draft, the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: trades ups and the trade downs, they all happened. Whether
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: it's a down year for talent anyway, I thought it
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: was fantastic last night.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 12: Well, I have one hundred percent agree with you. I
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 12: just think that the drama of a draft any Draft.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: It could be the WNBA a couple a week or
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 12: so ago, or the NFL or any other sport. I
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 12: just the realization of dreams. As you just mentioned, the
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: fact that are, of course the Super Bowl champions, and
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: I thought that they addressed their biggest area of concerns.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 12: So I think that Yuckhan should have slept well last
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 12: night and at the same time should be very excited
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: about the you know, scheduled two picks that they have today.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 12: To me, today is the day for the twenty twenty
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 12: six NFL Draft, because, as you said, Jack, it's not
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 12: necessarily a draft class that is just teeming with superstar talent,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 12: but there are a lot of good starters available. The
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 12: fact that the Los Angeles Rams in San Fransco forty
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 12: nine ers are kind of clearly planning for the future
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 12: rather than for playing right now, I think that the
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 12: Seahawks are playing for right now, and whatever gap that
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 12: the Rams may have narrowed, I think that the Seahawks,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 12: you know, basically just kind of ran back away with
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 12: it with this selection of jendary m price number thirty
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 12: two overall last night.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we added to our team. They decided not to
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: last night, which maybe we'll get into here in a
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: little bit. But Rob rang is with us. Let let's
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: talk about Price, because I don't know, I talked to
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of people in the last month. I'm not
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: sure I talked to anyone that was as high on
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: Jadarian Price as you are. So what is it that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: you've liked so much about him? And why do you
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: see him as such a good fit for the Hawks.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 12: Well, I just it's funny when we were you know
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: that there's so many drag isnolists out there who, frankly,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 12: I think are watching an awful lot of the stat
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 12: boxes and how many opportunities players have instead of watching
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 12: the tape. And I think if you watch the tape,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 12: you're gonna fall in love with with Jadarium Price and
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 12: just his instincts as a runner. I I know that
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 12: it was perceived as a bold take when I said
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 12: on your show that I think that he's going to
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 12: wind up becoming a better or at least a more
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 12: productive running back. Running back then Jeremiah Love of course,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 12: the accomplished, you know, Notre Dame back that went number
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 12: three overall the Arizona Cardinals.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: Of course, Seauk.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 10: Fans are going to get their share of, you know,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 10: views of him. I just think JERRYM.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 12: Price is as a back that really anticipates holes very
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: very well, and that his four point four to nine
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 12: second forty yard dash time is doesn't really reflect how
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 12: explosive of a runner that he is on the field.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 12: And so given the fact that Sele does have a
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 12: quality offensive line, they do have quality at receiver at quarterback.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 10: Then he is going to be asked to kind.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 12: Of be a piece of the puzzle, whereas some of
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 12: the other players drafted earlier, like Jeremiah Love, are going
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 12: to be basically asked to kind.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 10: Of carry the load.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 12: And I think the geneman Price has the skill sets
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 12: as a runner, as a receiver, as a returner obviously
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: Seal has a dynamic returner already in Rashiihi. But if
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 12: you always want depth, I just see superstardom with Jim Price.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 12: And then, frankly, had he not been the backup most
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 12: of his college career, I think that he would have
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 12: starred elsewhere and not been anywhere close to available at
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 12: number thirty two.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: Overall, just choked on my own spit, Rob getting ready
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: to ask a question. Rob rang is with us here.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: All right, So sixty four and ninety six, give me
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: a idea of what you think the Seahawks need to
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: accomplish tonight.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 12: Well, they're going to be going for corners and edge rushers.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 10: And to me.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 12: That that was always the play is that you had
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 12: three areas of concern. That's the three positions. Of course
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 12: that you lost down some really good players in free agency.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 10: And so that's the strength of what is left.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 12: I think that it's you know, as predicted, at least
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 12: in my opinion, that Seattle would recognize that their running
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 12: back talent was going to drop off significantly.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 10: And I'll put it this way.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 12: I have zero running backs among my top thirty two
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 12: still available, where they have seven cornerbacks, I had seven
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 12: edge rushers. And obviously those fourteen players could be the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 12: very first fourteen picks off the board here and Seattle,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 12: you know, weighing thirty two more picks before they're going
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 12: to select.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 10: They could be left out in the cold in that regard.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 10: But I don't think that's going to be the case.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 10: I think you're going to see a number of wide.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 12: Receivers and you know, the tackles off ball linebackers and
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 12: so I do think that you're going to see an
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 12: edge rusher or a quarterback BCal selection at number sixty
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 12: four overall, or I would not be surprised at all
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 12: because of the depths. If this is the pick at
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 12: sixty four overall, that the Seahawks are able to trade
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 12: back a little bit more and get acquire some more
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 12: selections for Day three.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe get two day three picks and then an
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: extra pick. Excuse me, two round three picks and then
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: an extra day on day number three. What was your reaction,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure in the moment that you could have
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: when you were providing draft coverage, understood everything that was
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: going into that Ty Simpson pick at thirteen with the RAMS.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: But I'm guessing that you've seen the reaction from Sean McVeigh.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: He doesn't look too pleased about the selection. Your thoughts
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: on what our division rivals did at thirteen grabbing Ty Simpson.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 12: Was surprised by There's no question about that. I do
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 12: think that Ty Simpson is an excellent fit in Sean
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 12: mcvay's offense.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 10: You know that it was one of the articles.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 12: I was asked to write right before the draft is
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 12: basically you know the quarterback tears and who would they
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 12: be good.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 10: Fits for their NFL systems?
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 12: And I lifted the Arizona Carters and the Los Angeles
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 12: Rams as my.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 10: Favorite fix for ty Simpson.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 12: That said, number thirteen overall just felt like opportunity for
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 12: the general manager left sneed to give Rams head coach
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 12: Sean McVay, of course, a weapon, you know, somebody that
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 12: might be able to narrow whatever gap there is between
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 12: the Seahawks and the Rams. And that could have been
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 12: a pass rusher like a Ruben Bain and that to
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 12: me would have been terrifying from a Seattle perspective of
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 12: the idea of ruben Bain and Jared Verse and Braden
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 12: Fisk and you know, I mean, it just would have
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 12: been a pretty formidable defensive line or another playmaking wide receiver.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 12: I was kind of pound the table for Rashid Shaheed
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 12: just because to me, he brings the same kind of
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 12: dynamic receiving and return ability that the Seahawks had have
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 12: With Rashid Shaheed, I thought those were going to be.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 10: Easy picks for the Rams. So when they went with
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 10: ty Simpson that did surprise me.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 12: Obviously, is a plan for the future with the Rams,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 12: but you know they traded away Jared Goff for the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 12: whole idea was to have a quarterback who has the
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 12: just absolute cannon that Matthew Stafford offers and to basically
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 12: take a step right back to the quick game. Here
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 12: with with ty Simpson is you know, is surprising and
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 12: I think it's all it's going to do with anger
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 12: Matthew Stafford that much more and it just speaks to
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: the franchise's concern about how much Matthew Stafford has back left.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: All right, Well, I got about a minute left and
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: I want to get two things in, so give me
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: about twenty five seconds on each one. Who had your
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 3: favorite draft? Which team last night?
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 10: Favorite draft last night? I am a lit with Kannessee
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 10: Chiefs Mansor Delaine and then coming back with the defensive
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 10: tackle Peter Woods.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 12: To me, I think his underrated quality selection quality selection
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 12: is the Chiefs, all right.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: And then tonight give me somebody the Seahawks will draft tonight.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 12: Well, I mentioned the seven corners I'm gonna go with.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: Oh I need a name.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Malik Mohammad, the cornerback from Texas. I just think
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 12: his length, his agility and the level of competition he's
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 12: faced both during game day and then certainly in the practices.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 12: I think it's going to make him very well, Sue,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 12: to come in to the Seahawks facility and be able
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 12: to make an impact immediately.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: Did everybody treat you well last night? I mean, I know,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: things get a little dirty over there in the draft room.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: He didn't bite you or anything, Ian didn't insult you.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: Everything went well, Everything went well.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 12: You know, there were a couple of kicks under the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 12: table just because you know, other people were pushing for
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 12: different players, different positions, and I've been, you know, kind
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 12: of pounding the table for price this entire time.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 10: I feel like Bob Barker up there, you know. But
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 10: the price was right.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 12: And I'm always treated with such great kindness by everybody
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 12: involved with the media and the Fiachts organization.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: All right, well, I will see you tomorrow, have fun tonight,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: and appreciate you joining us here this morning.
• 1:12:24

  Speaker 4: That's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. I mean it's at
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: three out of three or three out four.
• 1:12:58

  Speaker 3: Ashley though, like I think I'm tired.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: It's I said to you, wait, how was yesterday only yesterday?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: It feels like it was a week ago.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: I don't normally, yeah, i'll crash like Friday on the
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: drive home, but usually like the energy of the show
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: and being live on a microphone, I don't feel that
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: but I think the draft miss Holiday, even though I'm
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: still very enthused. Yeah, I think I'm I think I'm
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: wipe the rest take them plumb, Tucker.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty excited for my coffee after the show.

• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: two for you as well, and so our QB one
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: right here next to me here on kJ R. I'm
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: doing great, good morning, Good to be with you guys.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: Fun last night, Yeah, nice, always fun. Yeah, thank you. Yeah.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 13: You know, I think that there wasn't the intrigue with
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 13: the six quarterbacks or the sidor Sanders type of but
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 13: there's always stories that.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: Emerge as you go along. Yeah, I'm still thirty two
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: kids every year in the first round that'd get to
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: realize their dream and still trade down, trade ups and
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: all sorts of drama. That's great.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, and you know, the Rams were in the
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 13: middle of some drama. I know we'll get to that
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 13: way to get into that with you, but we.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: Should start with the local fishball team and Jadarian Price,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: who they end up sticking and picking at thirty two.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: So what did you think of the result?
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 13: Well, you know, first of all, I think there was
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 13: it struck me watching the press conference, and I feel
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 13: like I should preface this. You know, I'm from Seattle
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 13: or I can go back my sports memories in the
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 13: early seventies, well over fifty years, and I think there's
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 13: six major teams that we've had with the four professionals
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 13: and then Husky football and basketball. If you take all
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 13: the coaches in there, Mike McDonald's in my top three.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: I love the dude. I would not trade.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 13: Him for a not one coach in this league. And
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 13: I could say the same about Schneyder. I think these guys,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 13: I like them. I think they are at the top
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 13: of their profession. But when I watched them after the
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 13: the uh you know, in the press conference, and the
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 13: first thing that that that Mike McDonald, well excuse me,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 13: uh Schneider was talking about is hey, we want you know,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 13: we thought there was a lot of trades going on,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 13: you know that that that we're gonna have some options there.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 13: Apparently they all dried up and for him then to say, well,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 13: we took chadarium price.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: Here's what it seems to me.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 13: First of all, if we just structure this logically, if
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 13: you on a scale of one to ten, you love
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 13: the player at a ten, then you won't try and
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 13: trade out of that position. So so you you cannot
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 13: say that they're at a ten right on price. They
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 13: might love him, they might he may have been the
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 13: number one on the board, But what it seems like
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 13: there's eleven different positions in the draft that we talked
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 13: about quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, interior, offfensive line,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 13: and offensive tackles. That's six categories on offense, five on
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 13: defense interior, defensive lineman, edges, linebacker, safeties, corners. For you
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 13: to believe that he was the number one on the board,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 13: you'd have to say that that they hit the one
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 13: and eleven.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: I'm dark.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 13: What seems more logical to me is that they wanted
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 13: trade partners at the end of the round, that they
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 13: that their their enthusiasm is less than a ten.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Might be a nine.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 13: In fact, I'm absolutely, I absolutely think they really liked
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 13: this guy, but they wanted to trade out. And then
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 13: when they didn't have a trading partner because of what
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 13: transpired with K nine, their their biggest need was a
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 13: running back, and it appears they just said, hey, we
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 13: got to take the best available player at a position
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 13: we need and it was priced so then an event.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 13: So I think that that point, notwithstanding, I've looked at
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 13: the game take of every single rush attempt that he
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 13: had last year, every time they threw him the football,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 13: and and you know, so I have an now evaluation there.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 13: But that's my initial thoughts about it is it seemed
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 13: a little wonky, Chuck.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: I agree. In the press conference there wasn't the enthusiasm
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: that there normally is. And I get you just went
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: through it, so you probably hadn't wrapped your brain around
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: how we want to present this because you had the
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: last pick of the night. But yeah, yeah, it didn't
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: seem a little strange that you started with explaining why
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: you didn't do something else.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 13: Yes, and and and if you try and the trying
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 13: to do something else part, you're you're putting that risk,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 13: your percent chance that you're going to get jendarium price,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 13: which necessarily what follows from that is that you weren't
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 13: at a ten. Now I'm totally ready to say they
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 13: were at a nine. Yeah, and I believe they were
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 13: at a nine. Call it an eight or nine. I
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 13: believe they were right, you know, but you can't tell
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 13: tell me they're at a ten, because otherwise they wouldn't.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 13: They would have just said, we ain't messing around with this.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 13: Put you know, here's the name. Take that dude, run
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 13: up to the post sprint.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it also says they do draft
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: a need and they do recognize running back was a need,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: thank you, which was another thing. And then the third
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: thing that I would say is they are an organization.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of organizations that I do believe
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: subscribe to the running backs are. I'm not going to
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: overdraft a running back that's not the Seahawks, that's not
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: John Schnight. Rashad Penny was a first rounder. Nobody had
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: him projected as a first rounder, and you know they
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: had charbone and the second nobody had him projected as
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: a second rounder except for John. So they are one
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: of the organizations that has been willing to if you
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: want to use it as a phrase overdraft a running
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: back and so. And I'm not saying that they did
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: that with Price last night, but I'm not surprised that
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: where others might say, don't take a running back that high,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: John Schneider certainly does not feel.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah, well, he's taken three running backs in the second round,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 13: Chris Christ and Michael Kenneth Walker, Zach scharbnay Is taken
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 13: one in the third round, c J Prosize two in
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 13: the fourth, fourth, Robert Turman and d G Dallas one
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 13: in the fifth, Alex Collins who had success with the
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 13: Ravens but obviously more so here, and then uh, Alex
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 13: con Spencer where in the sixth and then everybody talks
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 13: about Chris Carson the seventh, but there was he was
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 13: one of five other uh, one of five four others
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 13: in the seventh round. And the other names you're you know,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 13: do nothing. So so it's it's been a mixed bag.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 13: But I think that with the the uh, the loss
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 13: of Canine, they were kind of forcing a position like
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 13: they can't just you know, wouldn't it be a hell
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 13: of a coincidence that the the number one guy left
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 13: on their board was a running back out of eleven
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 13: to positions, and that's the position that that you needed
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 13: the most. I think that'd be a hell of a coincidence.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 13: But at any event, at an event, there's a kind
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 13: of player did we get So? Look, as I said,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 13: watched every play, every every carry and catch, and the
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 13: dude has some serious lateral quickness when he's in the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 13: hole and he sees a defender flash at him and
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 13: he needs to get sideways and accelerate.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's smooth, it's quick.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 13: There's an acceleration there that belies his ten yards split,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 13: which was one point sixty one. He was in the
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 13: twenty eighth percentile on the ten yards split. That's that's
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 13: the first ten yards of your forty when you run
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 13: into the combine for it, it's worth K nine was
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 13: in the ninety sixth percentile. Uh and and so, but
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 13: that doesn't show on tape. He looks quicker than that number.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: Just said.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 13: I think his vision, vision, his backside cutting. He hitting
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 13: it and he doesn't have to. There's very few runs
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 13: where I thought he gathered his feet to cut. I
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 13: thought he was able to run and cut at at
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 13: near at our near field full speed, which what we want. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 13: there's a there's a couple. I'd say that that took
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 13: a long time to to uh to to generate is
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 13: his direction, but that those were few and far between.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 13: I thought he ran inside the tackles. Well, you know
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 13: the idea he you know, he comes on and he says,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 13: outside zone is my bread and butter. But he ran
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 13: more inside than he ran outside. And and and now
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 13: here's an important point about in watching the tape, he
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 13: only had one rush the entire season from the quarterback
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 13: under center. They're they were exclusively shotgun the Seahawks. They
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 13: had one hundred and forty five from shotgun and my
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 13: computer went down in here. But it's like I think
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 13: numbers right about four fifty. So they were twenty sixth
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 13: the league in the league, the Seaharks were twenty six
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 13: in the league and running from shotgun fifth in the
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 13: league from running under center. And so when they ran
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 13: the outside zone, we're gonna get a little XI ANDOI. Okay,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 13: so let's talk about the difference between how the Seahawks
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 13: would run it and how Notre Dame ran it. If
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 13: Sam Darnold is under center, and the halfbacks right behind him.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 13: That's what's called the dot position. Okay, it's a neutral position.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 13: So the running back is in line with the center
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 13: in the quarterback he got me. Let's say we're going
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 13: stretch right outside zone. Right, So now at the snap
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 13: of the ball, the running back is going to go.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 13: He's reading the n man on the lion Scream's block.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 13: He's trying to hook that outside defender. If he can
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 13: hook him, he's going to bounce it. If he can't,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 13: then he reads the next guy in. And at that
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 13: point there's just a series of and you of reads.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 13: You got to make the read by your third step.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 13: But when you're in the dot position, meaning right behind
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 13: the quarterback, you're you're getting to that point of attack
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 13: faster because of your original alignment. The way Notre Dame
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 13: ran theirs they started the season, and they did some
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 13: from pistol where he's behind a little deeper. But that's
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 13: that's essentially you could call that a dot or neutral position.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 13: And uh and and there's a They did a couple
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 13: of quick pitch pitches with pin and poll that don't
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 13: don't really apply. But after the first couple of weeks,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 13: everything was with Price offset, so that if they're going
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 13: stretch right, Price was off set behind the guard like
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 13: in the B gap, a little bit outside of the guard,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 13: and so he has a longer time to get to
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 13: the point of attack, which means his reads are much
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 13: more likely to cause him to go north and get
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 13: up the field there as opposent. Now there was there
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 13: was some time, there's a text saying him there's there's
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 13: a stretch where he got to the sideline. There was,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 13: there's occasional times where he had a stretch, But because
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 13: of his alignment being away from the point of attack,
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 13: he his reed structure is just different and how how
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 13: the the offensive lineman flows, so he'll have to make
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 13: a faster decision when when he gets to uh to
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 13: the s.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: My response to that would be, I think the average
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: sports mind I'm raising my hand or football mind would
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: would ask this. I get what you're saying, and there's
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 3: going to have to be an adjustment, But I'd be
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: a lot more worried about the quarterback making that adjustment
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: than a running back. To me, it would sound like
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: that's something that a good running back, good athlete could
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: make a quick adjustment. To him, I right, or along.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 13: Well, So for the quarterback, if you're in in shotgun
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 13: and and and I'm going stretch right, so I'm in shotgun,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 13: the running backs to my left, I just hold the ball.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 13: I just hold the ball out and and if there's
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 13: a read involved trying to hold the backside in, then
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 13: I'm reading the backside in. And if he crashes down,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 13: I might pull it, which Notre Dame quarterbacks did. But
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 13: from a quarterback standpoint, if he's off set, there's no there.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: You know, there's no issue.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 13: If if it's in pistol, if I'm in shotgun, it's pistol.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 13: That what's That's what the running back behind me? Those
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 13: are easy steps. I just you know, if fit stretch right,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 13: I just angled uh backwards into my right under center.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 13: You can you you kind of gotta you gotta hump
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 13: in a little bit. You gotta get get the ball
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 13: and sprint to the uh to the the spot where
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 13: you're giving him the ball and and stretch wide zone
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 13: originated as an idea to to keep the play action
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 13: alive like in the old days.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: You know, you know O. J.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 13: Simpson, you know student body right or what what have you?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 13: You just toss the ball. If you want to get wide,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 13: you just you just toss the half back the ball.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 13: When what the reason stretch came into the the the
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 13: whole equation is that now you know you're you're springing
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 13: out there, but you still have the ball, and if
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 13: you don't give him the ball, then you can you
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 13: can loop back around, you know, you know outside zoned.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 13: Alex Gibbs was the godfather of this with the Broncos
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 13: with John Elway handing the ball to Terrell Davis. So
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 13: if you go stretch left, Elway is gonna He's gonna
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 13: sprint over to to as if the ball.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: Is going to the left side of the offense.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 13: But then if if he doesn't give the ball to
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 13: Terrell Davis, the whole the defense is all flown. But
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 13: he's holding onto the ball, always holding onto the ball
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 13: more for a longer period of time than if he
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 13: would have just turned around and tossed.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: It Terrell Davis.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 13: Because right, so, now when at the point where he's
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 13: he doesn't give the ball Troll Davis, now he turns
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 13: out and he has a boot leg and he has
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 13: a naked keeper to the right, and he throws the
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 13: ball out in the flat or even he threw a
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 13: touchdown to Rod Smith in the Super Bowl when he
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 13: was the Super Bowl MVP against the Falcons off of
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 13: that boot, and so that that they're the quarterback's part
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 13: of it, I think is different to what I'm trying
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 13: to say about the running back.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: The running back, I'm not talking about the part. I'm
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 3: talking about the transition from I ran an offense where
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 3: the quarterback was not under center all that much. I
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: would think that'd be a difficult transition for a quarterback
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 3: to make to be in an offense where I'm under
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 3: center more. Now where versus a running.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 13: Back, well, I think I think here's here's how the
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 13: stretch is going to change for Jendarium Price. If he's
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 13: going stretch right tight, and let's say he's running the
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 13: tight end, but he lines up we'll call it just
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 13: right behind the left guard or even in the b
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 13: gap between the guard and the tackle. That means he
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 13: has a longer path to go to get to that
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 13: tight end. Now that that spot's gonna move once the
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 13: ball snap, because because the players are moving. But if
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 13: you just say the spot, it's gonna take him longer
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 13: to get there. So his read is more likely to
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 13: force him to go up north and and not get
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 13: the stretch. Like for him to get the stretch from
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 13: that alignment way over by the left car, he's got
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 13: a he's got to run eight miles to get to
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 13: the tight end. And by that time, the idea that
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 13: you would have the the defensive end hooked so that
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 13: you actually stretch it and get it to the boundary,
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 13: that's far less likely. But if you're aligned behind the center,
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 13: now you're closer to that point of attack, and there's
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 13: a there's a better chance where you say, you read
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 13: that tight end. AJ Barner gets that hook and you go, oh,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 13: I think I can get that. I think I can
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 13: get I think I can get to the sideline on that.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 13: And and then the act of being able to get
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 13: outside and actually turn it into a stretch a wide
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 13: play that now all of a sudden, the linebackers are
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 13: flowing faster because they go, WHOA, these guys are a
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 13: threat to actually get to the outside and and that's
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 13: the construct of the wide zone. So I think that
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 13: that notre Dame the way they did it. They delayed it,
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 13: and he was more likely to go up and into
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 13: the belly of the defense as opposed to try and
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 13: get outside. But man, I know without a napkin to
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 13: draw it, it's that that's hard to communicate. But but
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 13: it's a big adjustment for him potentially. I mean, all
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 13: of the angles and the timing changes all right.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 3: Well, in our last couple of minutes of this segment,
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 3: I do want to ask you about something I heard
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: you say last night. It's not that that Jadarian Price
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 3: has not proven he's durable. He's just not having the
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: opportunity to prove he's durable. Yeah, and being undersized and
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: never having been a RB one in his entire college career. Yes, concerned.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: Should we be about that?
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 13: Well, I think until he proves it, it's a concern.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 13: He only had eight and a couple of decimal points
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 13: average per game on touches, and that's counting the catch.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 13: He only had six catches on seven attempts, so all
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 13: of his touches were and I looked at all those
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 13: seven attempts. But to him and he catches the ball. Fine,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 13: But you know you don't see any like he's not.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 13: You know, we haven't seen any Christian McCaffrey and him
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 13: what have you. But I think he's I think he's
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 13: a more than sufficient receiver of the ball. But getting
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 13: back to the touches, so call it eight touches a
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 13: game and change. He's at two hundred and three pounds.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 13: Two hundred three pounds that is from two or three
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 13: is a twenty second percentile for running backs. His five
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 13: to eleven is the fifty seventh percent of so he's
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 13: normal height canine. The guy he's replacing was two inches
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 13: shorter at five to nine, but he's two in a
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 13: less and so he was the twentieth percentile on height canine,
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 13: but he's the forty fourth percentile in weight. So they
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 13: they inverted. So the you know body mass index. You
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 13: look at canine, he is a stocky dude. We stand
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 13: right next to me, a stocky dude. He looks like
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 13: he's built to take the hits. So so price goes
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 13: up in height by two inches and down in weight
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 13: by ten pounds. That's a shift in the BMA. So
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 13: you know it's it's a it's a more i will
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 13: say thinner fragile. It's a less stocky frame and two
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 13: three As we said, twenty second percentile. If you if
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 13: you want to have a work coach, they're generally not
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 13: that light.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 13: He said that his playing weight at Notre Dame was
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 13: like two of five to two eight, and that he
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 13: wants to play at two ten. But even at two ten, obviously,
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 13: if he's the exact same weight as K nine and
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 13: he's two inches taller, his BMI is always going to
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 13: be less right at the same height. So so there's
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 13: some concerns there that, you know, a little nagging thing.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 13: You start taking some hits and and do you start
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 13: missing some time what have you. But he hasn't shown
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 13: that he had achilles. He towards achilles his freshman year,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 13: so there's there's at least an injury to be aware
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 13: of coming in, but he's not undurable. It's just when
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 13: you look and you say, okay, you know, we're essentially
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 13: stretching out canine toward making him taller and lighter, which
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 13: means his frame isn't as dense.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: And so you want to take those hits.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 13: You'd like to have a little bit more, you'd like
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 13: to have a little bit higher BMI.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're not no longer in a you got
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: to get that running back twenty five thirty touches. A
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: game like we did when we grew up. It's more
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: probably fifteen to eighteen is what you're would be asking
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: from him, But that's still ten more than he's getting
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: right now, and the hits he's going to take are
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 3: going to be more violent. I'm not sure if it's
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 3: even fifteen to eighteen. It might be.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 13: You know, I think Canine was hovering around thirteen before
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 13: the sharbonnet still as a jump, yes, but it's not
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 13: just when we were kids. Frank O Harris, you know
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 13: Shawn Alexander and Ladanian, Tomlins and all those guys. That
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 13: was in an era where you had a you know, several
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 13: guys over twenty attempts per game.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hume Mellen is we us. We are, of course
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: talking about the NFL Draft, and the Seahawks weren't the
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: only team drafting last night. As it turns out. I've
• 1:34:42

• 1:34:44
