  Speaker 1: What's going on? Run Nick emon worri Ankle. Watch That
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: sounds okay and positive. But then a story popped up
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: on the Seattle Times, courtesy Everybuddy Tim Booth, that there's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: an agenda item for Governor Ferguson today to have a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: meeting with Adam Silver and joining us right now on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the Beacon Plumbing hotline. He is the senior reporter, the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: senior report, not just a rip. Senior reporter correspondent. Chris
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Daniels from Como TV, fellow koog joined us right now
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in the Beacon Plumbing hot line. And anybody's been listening
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to radio station for the last I don't know a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: couple of decades knows that when this stuff happens, we
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: go to mister Daniels to check in with them. How
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are you, sir?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Just a guy trying to navigate traffic in the San
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Francisco Bay area.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: God help you know I do? I do all too well, buddy,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: all too well. You're doing so you're doing you and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Nico got you. Guys are doing God's work down there,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: going back and forth between public where Radio Row, San Jose,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Santa Clara, all over the place, live shot here all
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: that stuff. How's it going down there.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I'd say it'll be interesting to hear the posts more
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: them on on just how this region handles an event
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: like this, I would say from a security aspect, but
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: it is so spread out and for anybody that's coming
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: down here, just keep that in mind as you go
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: up and down at one oh one.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we had our buddy John Lundon from the Bay
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Area for a weekly visit on Tuesday, kind of given
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fans the basic info on how to get to the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: stadium in graphical lesson. Yeah, and it was basically go
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the background behind San Jose and then come up the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: other way and then make sure you leave I don't know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: like at seven am for the three point thirty kickoffs.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So good luck to all of you. Chris, want to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: get you on the story broke today. You've been on
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: this stuff since the Sonics were here, since the Sonics left,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Everything. Anytime something happens and it revolves around
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the NBA in Seattle, we just go crazy and nuts.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: What does a meeting in your mind? What have you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: heard mean? With Bob Ferguson and Adam silver.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I can add some clarity to what was officially announced.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So the governor puts out his schedule of all these
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: different meetings and speeches and organizations that he's going to
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: be in front of over the over a week or two,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and put out a public email blast to all media
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: suggesting here's what he's going to be doing over the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: next couple of weeks, and right out in the open
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: said had a meeting scheduled with Adam Silver. As it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: turns out upon further review, it was an introductory phone
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: call that sounds like he was initiated by the governor
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to tell Adam Silver that he's a long time Sonics fan,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: he went to Lennie Wilkins basketball camp and wanted to
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: tell the commissioner that he is willing to do what
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he can do to bring back the Sonics. Just an
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: introductory phone call, a pleasant conversation, but not necessarily a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: meeting face to face, not a zoom call meeting.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: It was a.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Introductory phone all between the two earlier today, and and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that's just kind of where it stands with with this.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's just it's kind of odd ian that this was
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: just out in the open as part of a public schedule,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and I think the Governor's office is probably getting a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: lot of phone calls right now about who initiated this
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and all of that. But from what I can tell
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: at this point, this was nothing more than the governor
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: being relatively new to office. To say to Adam Silver,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'd like to bring back to some.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Chris Daniels with us from Como TV. With with that said,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, we know, so next weekend is the is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the All Star weekend for the NBA, and you know
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: anytime like big events come up with the Board of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Governors meetings, all Star weekend, NBA finals, you know that
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: type of stuff. When the Commissioner speaks for in front
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of the media and does his thing, we kind of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: get revved up and ready to go. What's going to happen?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Is there anything out there? Next week? Is none of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the one of those kind of I guess you know
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: moments in which maybe there would be news. Would you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: expect anything to be imminent in terms of Seattle after
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: his last discussion, which the Commissioner said, yeah, we're going
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to explore I think in Chris, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: explore expansion in twenty twenty six.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anything major to come out of the All Star
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Game have. We are well aware the commissioners, whether it
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: be Gary Bettman or Adam Silver, have pulled some surprises
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in the past, most recently with Adam Silver suggesting in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: July that Portland needed a new arena. Nobody saw that coming.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But I'm told not to expect anything from Adam Silver
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: in the way of a formal announcement of an expansion
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: process or they're moving forward on expansion or anything like that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But he's always very careful with his verbiage. I think
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: he's now put it out there and I continue to
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: repeat it that twenty twenty six they're going to make
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a decision on this, and what I believe he's doing
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: there is signaling externally and internally that they want to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: make a decision. He's trying to get this over the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: finish line or pull back, trying to signal to investment
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: types that put your packages together. See where we come
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: on that. But they are fully focused on launching NBA
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Europe by twenty twenty seven, which means getting that done
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: likely here in the first part of this year, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that's going to give those owners another idea of the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: economics of the league. I think we're also paying attention
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to what goes on in Portland and Memphis and New
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Orleans with arena potential renovations or deals. I know there's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: been some issues down in Portland in the last couple
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of days that have been reported on, but I would
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: expect the issues to come up, but I would not
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: expect him to move forward, you know, in a significant
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: way at the all start game.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Chris, what do you expect just this is probably more
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of a guess, but just from people you've spoken to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and going through the process, would you expect a timeline
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to be figure out all the logistics and just kind
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of lock down what NBA Europe's going to look like
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: first and then move on to expansion after that, or
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: could they happen in the same time, or maybe the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: expansion talk would consider would come before. As you said,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: if the goal is twenty twenty seven, they've got to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: get on that pretty quick. What do you think a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: timeline would be because there are those two I don't
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: know if they're competing interests, Chris, with expansion in NBA Europe,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: but there's two pretty significant things in front of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: commissioner and the owners right now.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he has said that they are not connected. But
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I've got to believe that getting NBA Europe finalized, given
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: he was just in Europe a couple of weeks ago
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and meeting with investment types, meeting with potential ownership groups,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: that that is a top priority to get done by
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the spring of twenty six for a twenty seven launch
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: all October of twenty seven lunch, and once those details
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: are finalized, whether it's a five hundred million dollar or
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a billion dollar expansion fee, I think that's going to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: give those owners an idea of how they want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: move forward. I think lingering out in the distance is
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the idea that you know there are arena deals that
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: are up for some of these cities in twenty nine
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: thirty and whether that's a leverage ploy for the NBA,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: knowing that there's a group in Seattle that wants to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: be a potential NBA ownership group. So that's why I
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: don't think he's going to play his cards at the
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: All Star Game. And we may still be a couple
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: of months, a few months away from having any sort
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of distinctive word from Adam Silverback in New York.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Chris, So just to wrap it up, people
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: just joining us in the meeting today you believe was
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: just an introductory meeting and maybe take a deep breath,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: and nothing is imminent as far as the NBA and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: announcement anytime soon.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't even call it a meeting. I'd call
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it an introductory phone call that's straight from the Governor's office.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But that the governor's office is calling it a good conversation,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a pleasant conversation between the two men. But it was
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the governor who wanted to establish that line of communication
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and let the MBA know that he stands ready to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: help in any way he can to bring back to Sonics.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: How's how's our boy Nico doing?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Is he okay?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Has he got any sleep yet?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think he and I are both working on very
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: little sleep. Yes, welcome, Welcome to time in traffic. We'll
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: spend it more time of traffic than we are in bed.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh buddy, hang in there, man, I know the feeling
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all too well. So you guys keep up the good work.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Sayh to Nico for me as well, And I really
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on last second to say you can
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: check out Chris and Nico on Como TV. They're on
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. Just turn on and they're probably
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: there right now or if not, on the arc and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Enjoy the week if you can,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: my friend, we'll talk to you soon.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Sounds good.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: See that is Chris Daniels Como TV Deep Breath. Nothing
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to see here right now? Nothing to see here, andres
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: nothing to see here, nothing to see here.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: It is kind of your I like what you said
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: about at the beginning, where it was like we're at
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: the point where if anything comes out, everyone starts freaking out.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: That's that's that's kind of where we are in a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: lot of ways. And I mean I think just to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you know, to talk about what he's it's basically it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it's a it's an introductory phone call.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Hi, I'm introducing myself governor.
• 9:30

  Speaker 1: Now with Gorbyn Smith. Here's Ian all right. Corbyn Smith
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: joined us as he does every Thursday, and we've elongated
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: these this this little chat that we have every Thursday
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: because there's a little thing I don't know called the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: super Bowl going on this week. Hi, Corbin, how are you?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm good man. I'm hoping that you're surviving the craziness.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I am. I'm in Seattle, so that's okay. So I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: am surviving more than surviving right now. But there's a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: lot going on. Let me let me get to this
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and we'll And the store that broke yesterday is Nicki
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: min Worri exits practice. Hurt his ankle. It's the beautiful
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: thing about having the ability to have a pool reporter there.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's that much to the chagrin of both teams,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: but certainly is a Seahawks lock things down when we
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: get to the end of training camp, as you well know, Corbin,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like, yeah, you get
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to watch the first ten minutes of practice after that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and then through the season, and there's really not ten
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: minutes of practice, as you and I both know. It's
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: players walking on the field, tossing a ball around, some
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: light stretching, and then okay, you guys are done, go
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: back into the media room. So we see nothing. So
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: when guys, you know, get hurt, you have no idea.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: In the pool reporting world of the Super Bowl, one
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: pool reporter for each team AFC and NFC, they watch
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: all they watch the entire practice and they get a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: report on what they see outside of schematics and you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: things like that, but injuries and so forth. And it
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: comes out yesterday that Emon Worri gets hurt. So Corman,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'll let you and I listened to this together, we
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: along with our listeners, we're reacting to this side. Here
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is first, just about an hour and a half ago,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: here is Mike McDonald on Emon Rory's status.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Yesterday, and it's got to low ankle frame. Gonna do
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: the walk through today. I'm not sure if how extensive,
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: if it always going to practice, but he's confident, got
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: a great plan.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Fully expect him to play so.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Good, you know, right where we want to.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Be, all right, right where we want to be. Not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: really that's not true. I'm sure you'd rather him be
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But let's hear from the player himself, Corbyn.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Here is Nick even worri.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: Uh yeah, it's just uh, towards the end of practice,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: just I have just rolled my ankle. Uh kind of
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: like caught me off guard. You know, this wasn't like
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: nothing crazy or nothing. We weren't like going hard out there,
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: but just rolled it and you know, I'll be good
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: to go for some days.
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: I'm looking forward to that same ancle week one or different.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, same same at did you think immediately?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, the same act, the same feel different.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it just kind of caught me off guard a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: Like you know, nobody everything wants to get hurt or
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: banged up during the Super Week or any week at that,
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: so I just kind of caught me off guard. Uh,
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: it's just a little scared, but uh AMG came back
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: and Doc spoke and we got a good plan to
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: go for Sunday.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So I'll be I'll be fine.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: I'll be good.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Did it feel differently than what happened in the Week one?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't feel this. It didn't feel it was diverted.
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: So that's me.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: I felt like I could walk off from just had
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: to give a chance, give it a break, you know.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So it feels good, all right, So same ankle as
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: week one. Corbyn felt different, not as bad maybe if
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: nothing else. You roll an ankle, it scares you like
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh God, here we go the biggest game
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of my life and I hurt my ankle. What have you?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: There's some video out there of him getting out of
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a car after getting MRIs last night, limping into the hotel,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: what have you. What's Corbin Smith's take on this whole situation?
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: All right, Look, he was gonna be it was gonna
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: have to be a high ankle sprain or a break
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: for him not to play on Sunday. And I guess
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: the good thing about a low ankle sprain like that,
• 13:45
  Speaker 9: that variety is a lot easier to tape up. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: think that, you know, speaking as somebody that played a
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: lot of football games in my life and played through
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: ankle sprains a few times. Those low ankle sprains, at
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: least it the paint tolerance is typically better then it
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: would be for a high ankle spring variety. Maybe it
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: limits his mobility a little bit, but if they have
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: it taped up correctly, as long as he doesn't roll
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: over on it again, I would think with a few
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: more days before the Super Bowl, as long as they
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: keep him a bubble wrap, and it sounded like that's
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: what they're planning to do anyway, Just keep him off
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: his feet for the most part, make sure he's been
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: through the walks through so he knows the game plan
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: inside and out, and then you can, hopefully on Sunday
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: have him good to go and he's gonna be as
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: close to one hundred percent as you can get him
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: given the circumstances. But I think that he'll be able
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: to go and shouldn't have too many issues as long
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: as the tape job is good. And maybe they'll have
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: to be a little bit more limited with the snap
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: count with him because of it, But if that's the case,
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: then Taya Kata has proven himself to be more than
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: cable of playing significant snaps when he's called upon.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You wrote about an animal city spectrum today, but let's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: just go through it. What does this guy mean to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: this defense? Oh, he's everything I think that You know.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: It's funny because this team went three and zero without
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: him this year, so it's not like they can't excel
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: without him on the field. But he's taken a great
• 15:13
  Speaker 9: defense and turned them into an elite one. And I
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: look at this matchup in particular, I think the unique
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: skills that he has are going to play and be
• 15:24
  Speaker 9: extremely important against trying to defend Drake May, who's an
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: outstanding scrambler. He's really good at improvising. Athletic guy Iman
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: Wari playing some spy roles for this defense this weekend
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: with his sideline to sideline speed would be big for
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: defending against guarding against those scramble runs that May has
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: been so effective with this year. And then you got
• 15:48
  Speaker 9: Hunter Henry, who's a seven hundred plus yard, seven touchdown
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: catching tight end that's a really good football player, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: he'd like to have him out of the field to
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: be able to match up in coverage against Hunter Henry,
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: as you've done with many other good tight ends with
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: him this year, So not having him on the field,
• 16:05
  Speaker 9: Seattle's proven they can get the job done. But this
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: particular opponent, I think it would be an even bigger
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: loss than it would be against some teams, just because
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: of how his skill set matches up really well with
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: what the Patriots are great at.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what would a Super Bowl week be without a
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: little something, right, got to have a little something going
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: on that stresses everybody out.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: At least it's not a torn MCL like what Cam
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: Chancellor had in the Super Bowl last time that these
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: two teams.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Met in Glendale's So yeah, I mean that's the thing though.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: It's just it's you can you can try to protect
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: guys all you want. Stuff will happen along the way.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I did laugh. I mentioned this in the open before
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: we hear it is. This would have never come out.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: He would have just been limited all week, right, if
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: not for the fact there was a pool reporter, and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: we would have thought, okay, it was limited, and you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: like there's like everyone's limited. There's like eighteen guys limited
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on the practice reports, right they This never would have
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: been a story until maybe Sunday, except for you have
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a pool reporter that has to be there for the
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl week.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's I guess that's the nice thing about having
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: that pool reporter set up where you can't completely hide
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: away what's going on, because, like you said, whenever he's
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: there's limited designations, that that just opens a can of
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: worms up during the week and the regular season, he's like, well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: how limited, Like was he doing ninety percent or is
• 17:23
  Speaker 9: he did he literally take a couple snaps at the
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: beginning of practice and then the rest of the time
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: he's on the sidelines chilling, like you just don't you
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: don't know what the impact of being limited is how
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: how limited a player is. So getting some insight on
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: how the player was banged up and how he came
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: off the field, those are things you don't normally get
• 17:43
  Speaker 9: in the regular season with the Seattle Sea off.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's uh, it's it's and it's certainly
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: not what you want as well. All right, uh, let's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: let's let's go through some of the other storylines. You've
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of stories up there along with Aaron
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Cohen others at Enmalcityspectrum dot com. Let me let me
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: start with you wrote about Reek Wollen, and I find
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: him a fascinating topic this week and where he has been,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: where he has come from, And it's an interesting dynamic
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: with Reek his rookie season. I think you could have
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: made a very strong argument his rookie season that he
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: was should have been the rookie of the Year over
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, and he was not. And then he kind
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of took a few steps backwards, it felt like. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: then of course this year didn't start out great, then
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: had a really strong finish to the season, and then
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: had the penalty. So where is Reek Wollen heading into
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: this game?
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: You know, it's funny because everybody's going to look at
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: that penalty that he had for Tawning in the NFC
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: Championship game, and that was a pivotal mistake that could
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: have cost them that football game. But I think you
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: throw that out really since the first four or five
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: games when there were questions about whether he.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Should be the starter, is it going to be Josh
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Job He gave.
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: Up the game winning touchdown in Week one, there were
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: a few other penalties sprinkled in there.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He just wasn't playing as sound as football.
• 19:00
  Speaker 9: He's been really good for the most part the last
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: half of the season and into the playoffs, and both
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: playoff games he's had pass breakups.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Now, he got burned a couple times.
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: By Pokunakua, but I think Pukakua does that to everyone.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: That's just kind of what he does.
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: But I think that he's played pretty sound football in
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: the second half, and Mike McDonald has stuck with him.
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: Mike McDonald has had opportunities to play other guys, but
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: when he's made.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Mistakes, he's hung with him.
• 19:29
  Speaker 9: And it feels like he has a lot more confidence
• 19:32
  Speaker 9: right now in riek Wolan being able to do what
• 19:36
  Speaker 9: he needs to do in the outside in this scheme,
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: he's more comfortable with him in the tackling aspect that that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Is the other thing that's jumped out Ian.
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: I mean, we've we've actually seen him dish out some
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: big hits. Since about week sixteen, He's had a couple
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: of really nice hits in the run game. So you're
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: seeing him really buy in more.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: To the all around game aspect, and.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: You know, everybody's gonna point of those few mistakes, but
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: he's still been and really productive. He had ten pass
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: breakups this year. He gets his hands on the football.
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: It just hasn't turned into interceptions there as much as
• 20:07
  Speaker 9: it did in that rookie season when he had six
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: of them.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You know the thing that you know, you guys wrote
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of stories in here. I mean, whether it
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: be Riek Wollen, you mentioned Tyle Katta, you wrote the
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: story about Drake Thomas as well. Just one of the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: fun things about you know, teams when they have this
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: kind of elite success, as you see, who are these
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: guys that kind of came out of nowhere? Right And
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in the last Super Bowl teams for Seattle, you had
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: your two of your best receivers were Jamaine Curs and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin, undrafted free agents. Michael Bennett at one point
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: was an undrafted free agent out of college. They became
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you know, came here, left, came back, and circled back again.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Let's talk a little about about a Drake Thomas because
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you know, the running ability of Drake May is going
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to come into play, whether it's Emon worri Also we've
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: seen Thomas as well. Uh, I think he's a really
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: important guy for this defense on Sunday.
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's the other player that I have out playing
• 21:00
  Speaker 9: that spiral. That's gonna be kind of hovering the field
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: and keeping tabs on where Drake May is at at
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: all times to try to make sure he doesn't get away.
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: And I think that's perfect because my nickname for him
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: is the human bullet, Like the kid just looks like
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: he was shot out of a revolver when he gets
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: downhill to bring.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Guys down there.
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: There's at least two or three plays every game where
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: he just like how did he get there? Like he
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: just he gets He's so quick, his instincts are so decisive,
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: and that's where he told me yesterday that his game's
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: really taken off with Mike McDonald because he had that
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: significant knee injury his rookie year and he felt like
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: his decisiveness and the instincts to play quick and play
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: fast weren't where they were when he was in college.
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: And the Seahawks were able to unlock that again. They
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: were able to get him back on track and revitalize
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: that trait. And that's the thing that jumps out with him,
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: whether he's rushing the passer as a blitzer, dropping back
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: in coverage, barreling out on somebody's sideline to sideline, I
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: just think that mobility and that tenacity, like the dude
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: just loves to hit. That is the kind of player
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: that you're gonna have to have play really well this
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: week because of the running ability.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: That Drake May brings into the equation. Corvin Smith joining
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: US Central CEE Spectrum. All right, let's kind of just
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: look at this thing from a thirty thousand foot view.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: We talked about Eman warrival. Assume he's going to play
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and be okay. We talked about Thomas and Wollen and others.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: What would you think gives the Seahawks the biggest concern?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: They're a heavy favorite in this game. Most people feel
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: like they have the better roster, better team top to bottom.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: They played a far tougher schedule and came out, you know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: on the other end of the same record. They've done
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: everything you can ask. They look like the team that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: should win. What concerns do you think are coming out
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: of Seahawks headquarters about this game on Sunday?
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's two things that jump out to me. The
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: first is Drake May's ability to craze is we just
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: talked about it. Seattle's done fairly well this year when
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: they've played mobile quarterbacks. But Drake may is such a
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: dynamic playmaker when he gets outside of the pocket and
• 23:11
  Speaker 9: he has extra time, Seattle can't allow him do that.
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: They've got to prevent him from doing what Russell Wilson
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: used to do. He's a different body type, but he
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: has that extend three plus second long play gets away
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: from pass rushers, receivers get open, airs it out, or
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: he takes off and then he picks up ten on
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: a backbreaking scramble. That's gonna be the first thing that
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: has to has to be limited by the Seahawks defense.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: They could be a concern if they're not able to
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: And I think when you look at Seattle offensively, it
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: all starts and ends with the interior of the offensive line.
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: Because New England has got two very good defensive tackles,
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, two different style players. Williams
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: is more of that twitchy athlete that can get after
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: people in pass rushing, can cause a lot of problems
• 23:58
  Speaker 9: with his burst. For his side guy, Barmore is a
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: physically imposing player that can win with power and is
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: an underrated pass rusher can really dominate at the point
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: of attack in the run game, Power Gray's Abel Anthony
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: Bradford and Jalen Sundal gonna hold up because this is
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: gonna be one of the toughest that those gouts at
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: dealing with those two guys in the interior, and if
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: they struggle, it might be difficult for the Seahawks to
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: get any traction going on offense. It's gonna be tough
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: to protect Sam Darnold. It's certainly gonna be tough to
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: run the football against a team that's been very stout
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: against the run in the postseason. So those are the
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: two matchups that I'm looking at thinking if New England
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: has edges in those two areas, the Patriots have a
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: much better chance to win this one.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: When we look at this thing as a whole. Do
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you think it's gonna be what you just like you're
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: kind of discussing I'm thinking, and maybe from a handicapping standpoint,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: it sounds like you're thinking, this is a bet the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: ender game, a low scoring game. Is that what you expect?
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: I've yeah, the last I checked it was a forty
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: five five point I'm going just slightly under that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I think the forty three forty four point range.
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: I just have a feeling that there isn't gonna be
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: a lot of turnovers.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna be one of those messy games.
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: But I just have feeling it's gonna be one of
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: those where points are at a premium for a big
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: chunk of the game. I just think that both these
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: teams have really good defensive lines. They have solid cornerbacks
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: on the back end, smart linebackers that are well coached,
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: well coordinated. I just have a feeling that this is
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: going to be a lower scoring game.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Well here we go, man, It's it's been a crazy
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: long year. It started way back in July, the end
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: of July with training camp. Actually I would say it
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: started before that, right Corbyn. For you and me, we
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: were out there and OTAs in May draft, drafted the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: end of April, OTAs in May and June Mini camp,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and here we are in February. It's still going strong.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if you're a prediction type of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: guy or not, but how do you see the thing
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: playing out?
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: Well, I'll be dropping my official score prediction on tomorrow's
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: lots on Seahawks. But I, like I said to me,
• 26:09
  Speaker 9: you know, look at the four and a half points spread.
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: I think this is a game that's decided by less
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: than four points. I think that it's gonna be I
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: know a lot of people out there have been talking
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: about Seattle could win this one easily, and there is
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: a pathway that that could happen. Absolutely, But there's something
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: about this new England team. They got here for a reason.
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: They're pasty, they're very well coached, and they do a
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: lot of things very well. It don't hurt themselves. Typically
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: the playoffs, they've had more sloppy play on offense than
• 26:39
  Speaker 9: they didn't regular season.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: But I think in the big game, in a stadium.
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: That should have better weather conditions, I'm expecting that this
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: is going to be a tight one. I think two
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: really well coached teams are gonna be battling to the end.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Tell people about almost the spectrum. You guys got a
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: zillion stories up there. If you want some Seahawks content,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: along with Husky's, Koog's Gone, Zaga, Mariners, everything else, cracking,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: et cetera. It's all there. Tell people what Emeralds respect me.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: You got a good deal going on this show.
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Emerald City Spectrum, all Seattle Sports, all the time,
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: But right now it is very Seahawks centric, and why
• 27:11
  Speaker 9: wouldn't it be. I mean, we got Super Bowl coming
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: up here on Sunday. I've got several pieces on there
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: that are really exciting. Once from yesterday talk to John Benton, who,
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: by the way, it is a phenomenal interview. He's an
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: awesome interview John Benton about his future and the continuity
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: of the offensive line going into this game.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: The story you mentioned.
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: With Rake Woollen and all of the underdogs who need
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: to step up and finish writing their stories with an
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: exciting chapter winning the Super Bowl.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Those are just two of.
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: The articles up there, and I'm gonna have an one
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: that I'm gonna nerd out on. It's gonna take me
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: a little while to write here, but man, I love
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: talking to Sam Darnold today and several of his coaches
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: about the complexities of trying to play quarterback against modern defenses.
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: And I am looking forward to dishing out later today
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: on EVERYLD City spectrum.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: So six dollars, uh.
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: Six dollars a month, sixty dollars a year, and right
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: now you can get forty percent off both packages through
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: the Super Bowl on Sunday.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And just do what I did get the year, be
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: done with it, don't even worry about it, and you
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: just go there again. If you're a fan, you're gonna
• 28:15

• 29:17
  Speaker 1: of the list of guys I want to talk to.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Fellow Kook Go Kog's Abe Lucas, left or right tackle
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks, joins us right now. Abe, how are
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: you man?
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: I'm good, man. How you doing.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. We'll get in the game in
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: a little bit in second. Now, you guys have been
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: talking all week. I know you probably talked out. You
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: just want to get to this thing. But let me
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: ask just from your standpoint, guy that grew up here,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: a guy that played at Washington State Archbishop Murphy years
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: local as they get, uh, probably watched the previous two
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to three Super Bowls as well, what does it mean
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to you to be in this game and to be
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: wearing a Seahawks uniform.
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's pretty cool. It's definitely a I mean
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: it's a dream that I when I was a kid,
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: you know, and to see it to come to fruition,
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: it's pretty great.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: So business as usual for me, But you know, you
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: got to be able to take it in and you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: enjoy it. Well.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Us, what's it like in terms of just the magnitude.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to cover the last two in
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Arizona and New Jersey, and I just remember, even as
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a media guy, but someone who grew up in Seattle
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and grew up a Seahawks fan, I mere walking in
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and whether it was the team arrivals, the media day stuff,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: just that the whole week, and then the game itself,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: which you can't speak on yet obviously, but I just
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: remember the magnitude. It was like, not overwhelming, but it
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: was I thought it was pretty cool. But what's it
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: like like for a player? Is it overwhelming? Is it
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: something you can kind of take in and enjoy and appreciate,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: or you are a business guy through and through. I
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: mean you kind of keep on it even keel, But
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: what's it like overall? Is it nuts or are you
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: able to kind of take it all in and enjoy it.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: I'm just trying to take it all in and enjoy it.
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: Like you said, it is business as usual for me,
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: and I think that's how I'm kind of rationalizing it
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: in my mind. But it is also a big deal.
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: I mean, you know, there's a bunch of people around.
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: People are going crazy in the city and everything, so
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: that's pretty cool.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: The city of Seattle is going nuts right now. I
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: can just tell you that. And that's what's that's the
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing about sports. When it's all said and done
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: and can't wait for Sunday. Let me get to a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: little bit of the football part of it, abe Abe
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Lucas joining us the season as a whole. I remember
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: thinking back in training camp and looking this team was
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be pretty good. One of the things that
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: we were waiting to see is could the Seahawks offensive
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: line be healthy? And having you and Charles healthy for
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the most part. I know Charles got dinged up a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: little bit, but the two of you guys coming back healthy,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the addition of Gray, what Jalen's done Anthony on that
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: offensive line really a big key to success. But when
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: did you see when did you think, hey man, maybe
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: this team has something special.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: I mean, I don't know if there was like a
• 31:41
  Speaker 10: defining moment, Like to me, it was just all about
• 31:44
  Speaker 10: doing the work, putting your head down and just continuing
• 31:47
  Speaker 10: to grind each and every day.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: You know, and when you when you work hard.
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: And you practice hard and you play style and nobody
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: wants to play like you know, the results speak for themselves.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: That style, Mike McDonald's style, physical football. How would you
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: describe that song?
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: I mean exactly what he talks about st I don't know,
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: he wants to play just you know, balls to the
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: wall for sixty minutes, one play at a time. Yeah,
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: I mean he's done a he's done a great job,
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: a great job with it, and so you know, happy
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: to be a part of it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: What is Clinton Clint's gonna We all kind of know
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: it's not a secret. He's gonna end up getting a
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: head coaching job, which is awesome. That also says something
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: about the organization when guys get promoted. We saw that before,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: guys like Gus Bradley and Dan Quinn with Pete you know,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a decade ago. And now it's gonna be Clint getting
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a chance. So I know it's probably tough to see
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: him leave. I'm sure at the same time you guys
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: are thrilled for him. What has he meant to this
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: team and what what did he change for you guys
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: offensively this year?
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: I mean he brought in his wealth of knowledge in
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: the in the playbook and you know, understands the offense
• 32:45
  Speaker 10: as a whole, and it's just a really great coach,
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: you know, and so I'm happy for him and his
• 32:50
  Speaker 10: opportunities that he's gotten as Ben tremendous.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Abe Lucas joining us for a couple more moments I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: loved earlier the year, and I think it's been reiterated
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: this week when guys on the defensive side of the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: ball sing the praises of the quarterback. That doesn't always happen,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: as you well know, and sometimes there's a little back
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and forth of offense and defense. But what Sam's done
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: for this team is remarkable. We've heard from Ernest Jones
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and others. What about for you? What what is it
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about Sam Darnold that jumps out at you as an
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman that just kind of makes him special and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: has allowed this team to get to where they are
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: I mean, I enjoy his or enjoy his demeanor and
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: you know, his cool, his calmness, and how he stays
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: collected regardless. I mean even in you know, games or
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: plays where he might have struggled a little bit, it's
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: just the same guy. It's his business as usual and
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: it makes it easy. And so he's a natural leader.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of an interesting thought just
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: watching him from the outside, watching him in games, there
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: is a there is an even keel to him. And
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I was just kind of thinking back guys you played
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: with at Wazoo. I don't know if it's Looke. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: mean we had Luke on actually right when he when
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: he got drafted, when or when when Sam signed Luke
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Falk talked about him and others like Gardner and other guys.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: There's there's there's are different ways to quarterback. But for
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: you as an offensive lineman, how important is it to
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: go in the huddle and see a guy that even
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: if things aren't going well and I think you hit
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: a road bump along the way, that there's no panic,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: there's no fake bravado. I guess I'm sure a guy
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: like you see through that it's just one hundred percent
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: reality or one hundred percent authentic. How important is that
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: in the heat of a moment, especially in a game
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: like coming up on Sunday, when you know there might
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: be bumps in the road.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, there always will be. You can't really avoid those.
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: I mean, but I think you know it's really important
• 34:27
  Speaker 10: to have people who can just you know, whether the storm,
• 34:29
  Speaker 10: so to speak, and just keep moving forward, especially at
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: the quarterback position because that's, you know, the most.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Natural leader on the team. So to have that there
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: is amazing.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Before I let you go a game itself, you guys
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: want to play, like you said, a style that people
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: don't like to play against. I mean's physical play. We've
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: watched ken Walker just absolutely and it just sucks that
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: charbon as hurt. I mean that's just in seeing a
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: guy that had that kind of year and made that
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: much difference to your team kind of get go down.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: But with more opportunities we've really seen ken Walker. I
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: got to think a guy I like that. You love
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: blocking for a dude like that? What's what's it like
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: blocking for K nine?
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: It's great? I mean, Ken Ken the hell of a player.
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: He's been that way since Riki year, and I'm just
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: excited for all his success and you know, excit to
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: watch him keep going.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Final thing where I saw this interview this week,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and I don't know how people could ask you to
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: choose only one, But were you really asked, like you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: only have one chance you can go the Cougar Country
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: drive in or the Kug Was that was that a
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: real question? Somebody asked you.
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: Yes, it was like an either or and I'm just like, well,
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: I'll just go do both of them.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't I?
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: You know when you started the Kug though, right? Is that?
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Is that a given you started the Kug?
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Probably? Yeah?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Where does sell Us fit into that mix? I'm just
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: curious as a guy that loves a good kel zone,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: where would who would sell us fit into that?
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: We get around to it eventually, you know. I mean
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: we've got time when we go to Coleman, so we'll
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: hit all the spots up well.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Listen, uh, Mark Ripping years and years ago was a
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. We've had other guys playing the Super Bowl,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: but having a homegoing product like Rip was premctable cam.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: But having a homegrown product play in the Super Bowl
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: for the Seahawks truefont played in it as well. It's

• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I believe you're a radio row right now, if I'm
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, wandering around shaking hands, kissing babies with all
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the big shooters down there. How are you, my friend?
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I never thought i'd say I already missed San Jose.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I just it's a zoo up here. Most radio rows,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: let's stands in. It's a little more extensive and big.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: This is a very compact. It's crowded and there's so
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: many podcasters and mom's basement people down here than it
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: used to be. So now it's just all of around
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: media and not a lot of fans in this Moscone
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Center here radio row. But yeah, it's it's an interesting
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: it's excess. I normally super Bowl is santase with the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: teams are so different. It's just like a road game
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: for them, like they're playing the forty nine ers on
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: an October. There's nothing super no banners, a few banners,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: but there's no fans down there, there's no events. San
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Francisco is where all of the who ha is and
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I'm in the middle all but who right now, I'm
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: talking to Bo Jackson a couple of minutes ago, and
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I mean there was just it's just a little bit
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: of everything up here. So it is it's like another different,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: totally different super Bowl up here. The players don't get
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: to experience this. They are really in football mode away
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: from all of this.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I want to appreciate one thing you just said. You've
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: turned into radio snob, and I love that. I love
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that you've turned at Greg Bell, News Tribune
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: print guy with the News Tribune, Seahawk beat writer, former
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: AP bureau chief out here for sports in Seattle, mister
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: print teaches stuff that you dub and by you have
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: turned into a media radio snob when you start taking
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: shots at the mom in the basement podcasters. And I
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: love you for that, buddy, I love you for that.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: It's just exploded you. I mean I go round and
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I'm like, how many of these are actual terrestrial radio stations.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: They'd be like, yeah, you're, well, you're on one of
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the few. Man, you're part of one of the few.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Between between me and one of the few terrestrial sports
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: radio stations and being a print journalist, I feel like
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Tyrannosaurus Rex walking around these sporting events these days.

• 41:58
  Speaker 1: shout out to our friends of the Washington Post. I
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: think it's just messed up. I think we all agree
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: on what's going on back there on the Great Great.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Because Jeff Bezos doesn't have enough money now keep.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: The washing, couldn't couldn't fill his yacht up with diesel fuel.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Apparently you couldn't afford to, so we cut everybody from that.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: But he'll go ahead and buy some sports team along
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the way. But yeah, you got that going on. So

• 43:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: This wasn't like nothing crazy or nothing. We were like

  Speaker 7: going hard out there, but I just wrote it and uh,

  Speaker 3: Same?
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Did you think immediately the same act, same feel different?
• 43:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just kind of caught me off guard a
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: little bit, like you know, like nobody everything wants to
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: get hurt or banged up during the Super League or
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: any week at that, so it just kind of caught
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: me off guard. Uh, it's just a little scared. But uh,
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: Emma j came back and Doc spoke and we got
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: a good plan to go for Sunday. So I'll I'll
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: be feeling I'll be good.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Did it feel differently than what happened in the week one.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't feel this.
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: It didn't feel it was this severre that's me and
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: I felt like, you know, I could walk off from
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: my own and just give.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: A chance, give it a break.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Deal.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: So it feels good. Okay, Greg, you're there. You were
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: hearing mc McDonald. You were asking the questions of nickimn worry.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: What's what Seahawks fans are kind of been sitting on
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: pins and needles since this story broke last night. What
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: can you fill us in on translate all that stuff
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: we just heard.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: He's playing, Uh, it's a low ankle, not a high
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: ankle spray. The high ankle sprain and the course goes
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: up the leg and its liking the damage. And those
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: are weeks sometimes months turned ankles. But you and I
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: might get playing pickup basketball or falling off a curve
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: at our age, and those of days instead of weeks,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: And that's really what's going on here. The ankle went in.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: He was jumping for a pass on a grass field
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: at San Jose State yesterday. He told me it was
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: just a freak thing. He felt a little odd and
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: he was scared because it was the same ankle as
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: the week one injury. But then he fell right away.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: As you heard him say, he felt right away a difference.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: It wasn't the pain, nor the spot on the leg,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: not as high up the leg, which avoiding the high ankle,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: which would have probably kept him out of the game.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: So he's got a little ankle sprain. And he said
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: the imaging test came back fine last night. The doctors
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: got a plan for him. He might not practice Thursday Friday,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: might not need to, and may be ready to go Sunday.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I put out breevy last night that he was playing,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: and I got absolutely roasted online in Twitter and everything
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: like this. But the indications were last night that the
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: test had gone well. But I saw the video online
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: of a fan catching him walking into the team hotel.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: If he was really injured, the plaint couldn't play, he
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be walking, he'd be in a walking boot, probably crutches.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: So the fact that he walked off the field on
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: his own and walked into the team hotel that voted
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: really well last night. And then he said he woke
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: up today and didn't have a lot of pain. He
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: was surprised how video when he woke up.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Today, Greg, is it? I mean, we're at that time
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: of the year where you almost want to put everybody
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: in bubble wrapp don't you, But you still have to prepare.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: What's the balance that these teams have.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: They've done this for twenty weeks game weeks, they've done
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: this for training camp, they've done it for the offseason
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: to they've done it forever. You know what I mean.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: They don't need to do that. They don't.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Just a freak, just a freak thing that happened yesterday.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: It was just that he said. It was a really
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: low intensity practice, a pass in the air. He's a rookie.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: He's going to try to make every play as possible.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: If he's fortunate enough to get back to the super Bowl.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Maybe he doesn't make a break on that pass again
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: three to four days before the Super Bowl, but yeah,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: he look Camp I covered Camp Chancellor playing with a
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: torn MCL the Super Bowl and he tore it two
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: days before the game.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Nicky Morris, Yeah, no doubt about it, all right, So
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: we can kind of put that to bed a little bit.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: And uh, and.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, I should say I don't know what capacity
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: he's going to play right, which is an issue because
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: of how much Mike McDonald relies on him. He is
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: central to the team's game plan. He allows them to
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: play nickel and dime against run formations. He allows them
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: to go man or to go zone or to blitz.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: He gets guys on the ground, as we know, as
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: soon as they make catches. He single handedly ruined the
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: forty nine ers offense in two games because he tackled
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: McCaffrey and Kittle immediately after they caught the pass instead
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: of for first downs they punted. He's that important.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Everyone else is Devin Winiston, DeMarcus Lawrence, Leonard Williams. They
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: get the Pro Bowls and the All Pro votes. Nick
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: even worry is the most valuable player, valuable in terms
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: of importance to the game plan on the Seahawks team
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: offense or defense. And if he's less than one hundred percent,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: that does change what McDonald's trying to do. But even
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: a sixty seventy percent Nickimney warrior on how his coach
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: uses him as pretty damn good for this.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: So if he's not playing ninety five percent of the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: snaps like he has the last few weeks when he's
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: been healthy. What do they do and who steps in?
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I think they go less Nickel. They're not going
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: to do what they did Week one and they put
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Tylecotta into his position and try to make Kyo Kotta
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: play like Elan Worrie's. The game plan was for even worried.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: They're gonna do that. So I could see them playing
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: less of the extra defensive backs, or that the extra
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: defensive back would be Devin Witherspoon inside with Job and
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Woolen outside. That's not as conducive to how you play
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: the New England Patriots. What's a dump truck like Lemandre
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Stevenson at a running back and a quarterback who puts
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: his ball under his arm and heisan trophy guys in
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: the open field like Drake May. You want a Nick
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: emn Worry linebacker type as your extra DV. You don't
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: need one hundred and eighty five pounds when he's in
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: a bag of cement. Devin Witherspoon as your nickel in
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the box. So that would change McDonald's reliance on nickel.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: If the nickelback can't be even worried, he's basically a
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: sam linebacker. When they play extra defensive back with even
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Morey on the field, I just can't overemphasize and overstate
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: how much McDonald can do all the tricks and the
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: versatility blitzing and disguising and personnel with because of Nicky Monlaurie,
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: it's a big, big deal that he's going to play
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: at less than one hundred percent will be a factor.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's why you know, I texted you last
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: night and I think that's why all Seahawk fans are
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: losing their mind, because we've all come to know that
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: this guy who probably should have been the defensive Rookie
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: of the Year and everything else, how important, what an
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: integral part he is of what Mike McDonald wants to
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: do and what that defense is. It was, it was funny, Greg,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: you'll get a check out this. I got a text
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: from Keifer last night on the set of doing a
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: cracking intermission. He's like, what the hell's going on? Like,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: what's going on with even Morey? And I said, and
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: at that point, all I had seen was the practice
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: report and said limited And I said, well, he's one
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: of like eighteen guys that are limited who cares like,
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it, relax And then He's like no,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: like he hurt his ankle. I'm like, what are you
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: talking about? And then I see it and my thought
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: was the same as his and every other Seahawks fans like, Okay,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: this guy is so damn important. There's such a different defense.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think the question will be, like you said,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: he's going to play how much as he plays? He limited?
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: What does New England do? Do they try to go
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: right out him? Are they going to try to like
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: you said, are they going to run the dump trunk
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: at him? They going to get Drake May on the
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: outside of some design runs. I think that'll be the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: chess game we see early on.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: If I was New England, verybel and I would run
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Stevenson inside. I would test Drake May running him outside,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: and I would see if they DeMarcus Lawrence Leonard Williams
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: can contain Drake May town pound pound, run May around.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: That's what I would do, And women Warry's in there
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: or not? Do Seahawks have trouble? We know have trouble
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: containing quarterbacks that extend plays and can run. They haven't
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: played a quarterback like Drake May who just tucks the
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: ball under his arm and runs that's a different threat
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: than they faced off season. It's been a central part
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: of the preparation last weekend this week, Drake May running
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: the ball as a runner and taking off scrambling, humiling.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: On our round Table this morning with Chuck and Bucks
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: said the stat that Greg May has sixty one scrambles
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: off design pass plays turned into runs. Eighteen of those
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: sixty one went for ten or more yards. That's more
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: than Lamar Jackson's had any his most in the season.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: That's most. I mean, that's just an unheard of number
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: that a third of your runs go for ten plus
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: yards when you're scrambling. He's not going to scramble out
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: of bounds for a game of two. He's going to
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: tuck it under his arm and move his shoulders straight
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: up the field. That's a quarterback that Seahawks having face.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: I would I would do that and do that a
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: lot if I was New England and see how the
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Seahawks pass rushul adjust to that.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: It had been a quiet week until anklegate Greg, until
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: this all took place last night. In the last twenty
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: plus hours or so, you are Seahawks insidry here Greg.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Every morning on the Morning Show with Chuck and Bucky
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: and on the Roundtable this morning on Thursdays with Hugh
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: and the Crew in the morning as well. You can
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: read all his great stuff in the News Tribune. What's
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: our other news today? If the storylines that you're keeping
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: track of some great features down there, but either are
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: actually actual news down there today.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Robby Huts may not play in the game next issue
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: the fullback. He's been out so much from practicing that
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: they have taken Brady Russell out of being a tight
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: end and now he's a fullback back to where he
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: was in the summer before Roots Beam out for the job.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's gonna mean Kubiak's not going to go
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: much as much fullback formation type stuff. Big key to
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: this game to me and is Kenneth Walker on early downs.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: If Walker gets them enough yardies where it's third and
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: two or three or four, then Kobeac can do just
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: about anything, and then the Seahawks become a four down
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: offense because they can do the barner push for a
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: yard and get the first down. They're ten of eleven
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: with four jump off sides in that this year. But
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker has to get yard. They have to run
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: the ball effectively on early downs to make that possibility.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: It's a different off for any offense. Mike Donn talks
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: about this all the time. Any offense you have to
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: defend for four downs changes your defensive play calling and
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: your approach. So the Statars need to get to first
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: and second down successfully so that they are become a
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: four down offense. Kenneth Walker, he and Riq Wolland. But
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: because Walker's going the ball in his hands, Kenneth Walker
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: had the game individually. In this game, I have not
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: covered a Super Bowl with a guy that has had
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: more at stake personally than Kenneth Walker. He's still only
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: twenty five years old and his contract is ending Sunday.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know where he's going to play next year.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know how far, how much it's going to be.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: I talked to him. I sat down and talked to
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: him what I wanted a table yesterday. None of it
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: was on the record. I could tell you that. I
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: could also tell you that, let's say interesting how they
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: used him this season in the contract year to him
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: and he is beyond motivated on a world stage with
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: two hundred million people in every NFLTM watch on Sunday
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: and he to be X gonna game every chance to
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: do that. I can't think of a situation like this.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: It's such a unique thing for a guy still in
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: the prime of his career and hell, twenty five years old,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: to be unemployed after the Super Bowl and he's planned
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: for millions in perst future on Sunday.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I just I the NFL. One of the great mysteries
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: to me in the NFL, honestly, Greg, is this the
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: lack of prioritizing running backs going into second contracts and
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: so on and so forth. And then yet you see
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: an Ashton gent drafted where he was. You see what
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: the contract was Satkaw uncle Barkley got and how he
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: led them to a super Bowl in Philadelphia last year.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: There's an employee and Greg, wait for it, what ken
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Walker has done the last couple of weeks, right, Like,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just all due respect to Zach Charmonay,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: he doesn't do that. He doesn't do what ken Walker does, period,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: end of story.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: It's Todd Gurley syndrome. And ever since Todd Gurley got
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: sixty one million guaranteed from the Rams and only played
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: like twelve games of that contract. Every NFLGM from Lesnie
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: who gave it to him on down are afraid to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: do that. And now the free agent second contracts for
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: running backs get become one year auditions, and that could
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: be what Kenneth Walker is going to get offered by
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. But it's it's crazy how much teams and
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: offenses rely on the running back and then they discard
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: him and don't give them the value that they put
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: into the team. Kenneth Walker should probably have already on
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: the table from the Seahawks a three year, forty million
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: dollar deal or a thirty five million dollar deal tenlus million.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: He's not gonna get that.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: He's probably gonna get a one or two year deal
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: and maybe half that value. But how much they rely
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: on him, how much he's important to whether they get
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl trophy on Sunday, He's worth way more.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: Yet he's paid like he's a nickelback or a second
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: a third safety's it's because of the injury, the fact
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: that in the sport that the running back is the
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: most attrided position in the sport, the teams are afraid
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: to invest long term in them, and Kenneth Walker's paying
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: a price for that. We'll see. Like I said, they
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: they are running back. They're not a player in me
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: some and Super Bowls that has more at stake, more
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: to gain, and can win more money on Sunday than
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: in Kenneth.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Walker, what you got out the news for being coming up?
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Buddy man, I'm head above ground.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: Heah.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: I brought a story this point. It's already published. I
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed doing on Grey's Abel and it's on the
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: news stregree dot com right now. Grain's Able and Jalen Sundell.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: They've watched three Super Bowls together as roommates in the
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: basement of their house in Fargo, North Dakota. They were
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: roommates and teammates at North Dakota State, won a national
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: championship together, and they were talking to me in the
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: summer about how cool it was walking out the looming
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: field for the first time for a preseason game that
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: they stopped the tunnel and they pinched themselves. He's like, wow,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: and now there's the Super Bowl together, gonna be starting
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: next to each other, and they said it was probably
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: an extra long hug in the tunnel before that. I
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: got to stay on Rashid she he he really really
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: valued his experience at Weaver State FCS big guy. He
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: told me that was the only school in the country
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: that offered him that he was headed to a junior
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: college at a high school, Mark Mount Carmel High School
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: in Diego, if Weaver State hadn't stepped up and said
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Weaver State coach Jay Hill, who is how the defensive
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: coordinator at Michigan for Kyle Whittingham. Jay Hill instilled in
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: him the work ethic. The value is how to be
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: a young man, how to grow up with an adult.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: He's now a Pro Bowl, All Pro guy who is
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: enough to get paid handsomely. His contract is ending in
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks are going to resign him, but Rashid Shaha
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: will read about that, and I think I'm gonna write
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: about Kenneth Walker and all that he has at stake
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: and could be his last game for the Sea. So
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: he told me that. He told me, and I asked him,
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: have they talked to you about a contract? He said,
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: not that I know of, And that's the same answer
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: he gave me in August.
• 58:01

• 58:40
  Speaker 1: three KJRFM, all right, no text today, Sorry, no time.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I decided I want to do this. I wanted to
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: do a public service for everyone. This isn't in a
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: unique situation this year. Now, a guy like anders Baby
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: is a week and a half away. You'll be hunkered
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: down at home. Yes, all right, But when the Seahawks
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: play in the Super Bowl, or even when they're playing
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: in the NFC Championship game, when the Mariners were playing
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: in the ALCS or Alds, it's different. All of a sudden,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of people want to go out and they
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: want to go watch the game with other people if
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: they're not in San Francisco or if they're not wherever
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: they're at. So we have a lot of great people
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: that support and I'll just say particulate my show, like
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: this particular show, and maybe for me more importantly, the
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: golf tournament we do, the Marior Maple Valley Open for
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: our charities, Lensky's Hope, Avery Helfman, DIAPG and Jordan Morris Foundation.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: And so I said, who support Where can we point
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: people towards if you want to? And I'm a big
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: fan of supporting local as much as possible, and so
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: we're gonna I'm gonna go through. I talk to some
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: of my friends that are in the biz that help
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: us and support, and I'm gonn kind of get because
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: there some places you're gonna say, I'm just going to
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: show up there and you're gonna be out of luck
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: because it's already sold up. So I'll get to that
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: in a second. My guy, though, Matt Conley is here
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: today from Georgetown Brewing. They support everything that we do
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: at the station and more importantly the golf tournament and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: the charities and so forth. How are you, good man?
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Real good. Thanks for having me back. I want to
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: ask you a quick question, yeap Mariner baseball playoff run
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: cracking going potentially the playoffs as it did three years ago,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: or Seahawks and the Super Bowl, all those things, are
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: they good for the beer business locally?
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 11: Resoundingly? Yes, they move the needle, They move it.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: A lot like this is good for local business, whether
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: it's you guys, or other competing breweries or what have you.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 11: Oh yeah, for everybody, right, I mean, and we've been
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 11: on a bit of a boon as a brewery, maybe
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: beating some up some headwinds that craft beer and maybe
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: alcohol in general is seen the last year and a
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 11: half two years. Okay, So that's you know, been fortunate
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: for us. But as an industry on the big picture,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 11: sports are just massive for what happens. It drives people
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 11: to bars and restaurants. Yeah, that's where our beer forever
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 11: was only available on draft before we went into cans.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 11: And then now the fact that people sometimes are going
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 11: to stay home with their one hundred inch screen one
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 11: hundred screen TVs, they go buy beer at the grocery stores.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: What'd you guys do for like playoffs in t Mobile Park?
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: You're there, your beer's there. And same with at Loominfield.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Do you guys sell a couple of pints? Sold a
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: couple of pints?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: We like, we can't see we can see the beer
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: that our distributor sells into the stadium. I don't have
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 11: the stadium calling me going, hey, mat, here's how much
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 11: of your beer we sold. But I do know that specifically,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 11: body sixteen ounce cans are among the best selling items.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 11: And it's not unusual to you know, like these playoff games.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 11: I don't know that bump off the top of my head.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 11: It was probably a thirty percent bump in volume.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Can you keep up with a demand barely? It's good,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: good problem to havel. Yeah, yeah, especially gets a beer
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: industry struggling. We see too many local and you guys
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: are big supporters of smaller local craft brewers. We hate
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: seeing those guys close. And that's just all. Yeah, absolutely so.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: So when you go a store, when you go out
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: right buy local, please right, buy local. Just do that.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, yes, yeah, do it. We love it,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 11: we appreciate it. But I mean, at the end of
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 11: the day, they make great beer. Yeah, we're one of them,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 11: but there are many that make great beer locally, and
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 11: yeah you can do that.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:02:11

  Speaker 12: Well, first of all, some of those guys in their

  Speaker 12: Bell does.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you that here at Seattle.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 12: But it is, it is incredible how this thing has
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 12: changed over the thirty years man that I've been kind
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 12: of doing this. I mean, there's way more, like I said,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 12: you guys here to day Tiktoker's YouTubers, all that podcast
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 12: It's it's just incredible. Everyone's got a video camera, everyone's streaming,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 12: everyone's walking around with cameras doing stuff here. So there's
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 12: way more podcasters than there are radio stations. But I
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 12: gotta be honest with you, man, I don't get very
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 12: starstruck anymore in this business.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 8: I was about an hour ago. No Jackson sat down
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 8: with us.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Oh well, it.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 8: Was unbelievable, and we're gonna play that at five o'clock tonight.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 8: He was amazing.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's giving advice for parents out there about
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 12: their kids playing sports. Talked about running over the bas
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 12: running up the tunnel. We asked him for his favorite
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 12: bow moment. Everybody's got their favorite moment, right, whether it's
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 12: climbing the wall or throwing hr out at home when
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 12: he's with Kansas City on that laser beam throw, uh,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 12: breaking his bat over his knee, whatever, you know. We
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 12: asked him for his favorite athletes today, who he likes
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 12: to watch, who he admires.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 8: Unbelievable.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 12: I mean, I I'm just sitting there literally two feet
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 12: from bo Jackson thinking I'm two feet from Bo Jackson
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 12: the entire time I'm talking to.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Let me ask, because you and I look at him
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: with such great reverence, because of all the moments you
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: just saw or talked about. Andrews. When I say, bo Jackson,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: do you have that same feeling or not?
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: I mean I obviously It's similar to Michael Jordan in
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: the fact where I was told like just legends about him,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: but I wasn't living through them.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Oh obviously, so Jackson that I ever saw man bo
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Jackson was just different, like just different on every level.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: You know what's crazy is that I think because of
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: the the coaching thing and how he sometimes acts and
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: the kids and retiring numbers, I think people forget what it.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Bo Jackson was one thing. Dion was close. Absolutely, Dean
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: was a really good baseball player as well as a
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer in football.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 12: And then I mean, look, I mean guys that make
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 12: it in both leagues like both bo is the only
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 12: All Star, but guys that make it in both leagues
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 12: like you can't just that's freaking huge. I mean Brian Jordan, right,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 12: Danny Ames, for God's sakes, played baseball and basketball, Deon Sanders,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 12: Bo Jackson. You know, back in the day, there were
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 12: a lot of guys that were trying to do it.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 12: Doesn't seem like it's happening anymore, obviously, but I mean
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 12: dudes that go pro in two different sports and then
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 12: a guy makes an All Star game in two different sports,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 12: so he's gonna join us at five. Jack Gray is
