  Speaker 2: four nine, four or five. One guess who everyone said

  Speaker 4: Like probably some Canadian.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You said, you said Canadian like it's a bad thing,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: but no, such a thing. Sean McVay. Yeah, okay, interesting.

• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Gosh, his questions and some of these meetings we're in.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: It's like, dude, we've got to just start calling you

  Speaker 4: coach Tye or something like that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Is that his deal?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Like he's well hard knocks tells a lot. Uh oh, So,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: like we've noticed this a couple of weeks, been watching
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: family and stuff and and and I don't know if
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you've noticed this. Andrew's back in the studio when they
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: show like the auditorium and guys are coming in for
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: your meetings. He's a first guy in front row right there,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Tyle Katta. I mean, look at the situation he's in. Yeah,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it works. Yeah, you were probably you were probably a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: sit in the front row guy back you know, Oh
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: my gosh. Yeah, well you have to be.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: You've got to be the guy that has all the
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: answers when you don't have necessarily all of the physical answers,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: if you know what I mean.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Jake Bubbo's here with us.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: First of all, you are healthy, I am, yes, Hams
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: is the worst. You train all summer to a void
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: soft tissue in the first week of camp and then
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: you just get hit with one. And that's where we
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: were at. But uh, onward and upward.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: David McKenzie. That group that that your your medical staff is.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They're so good.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Ryan was Jeramee was in charge of my my rehab
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and he's one of the best in the business, really
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: really good at what they.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Do that flies under the radar sometimes. We talked about
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: McDonald his staff and players all this. I like that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that group behind the scenes really good.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, you're exactly right fully behind the scenes.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Have you been in that that cold treadmill tub that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: even Worri was on on him Hard Knocks the other day?
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, unfortunately, I actually did that a little bit with
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: the Ham did that a little bit last year with
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: some of the stuff I was dealing with.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Is it as brutal as it looks?
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I mean it's it's honestly nice because the reason why
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: you're on that is because you can't run or jog
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: anything outside of the pool. So to be able to
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: actually do that, yeah, is actually kind of nice. But
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: once you're on there for ten to fifteen minutes, I
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: guess it's not.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't be the most fun of the world. Jake
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Bobo with me, all right, So let's let's get to
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: your situation. Interesting off season? Oh yeah, win a Super Bowl.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, Jake Bobo's kind of being
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: talked about around like you're where are you going? Yeah,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: what's going on?
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: What?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: How cool was that you ended up back here? But
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: just when you had other interests from around the league
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it offers and things like that, Yeah, what was going
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: through your mind the whole time?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a I don't want to call it
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: a stressful situation. It's a great problem to have as
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: kind of the way I framed it right where if
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: you'd have told me four years ago that there would be,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: you know, multiple NFL organizations that are kind of vying
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: for for what you have to offer, I would have said,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: sign me up. But again, when you come from a
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: place like this and knowing that you want to end
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: up back here, it was you know, there was some
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: stress involved. But I tried to take, you know, that
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: step back and say, wherever we end up, you know
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: we're gonna be. But in the back of my mind
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: I knew, you know, we wanted to come back here,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: and what.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Is it about this place? Because if let's just say,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: all things being equal, what is it about this? But
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: super Bowl ring is nice obviously, yeah, it helps. But
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: but what is it about this place? Is it Mike?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Is it a teammates? The facility? What is it about
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: this place? Yeah, I don't know.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I think some of it is you're you're looking at
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: it in the facility that we've got here, and but
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: but beneath that, it's it's the culture. And and if
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you ask me how to describe describe that, it's.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Very very difficult to do.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: And in a few words, it's just a feeling you
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: get when you walk into that building. It's I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: as family oriented as you can get in the NFL,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: as relationship oriented as you can get in the NFL,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: which is known for me in a very cutthroat business,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: and it is. But here they do a very very
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: good job of kind of combining that cutthroat side of
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: things with a little bit more of maybe the college
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: football not not really college college football anymore, but what
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: it was, which is, you know, we're we're trying to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: create a family, family atmosphere here and go and attack
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and win days. And when you combine kind of all
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: of those elements, it creates a very interesting machine that
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: has been very successful for us, and in the last
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: year or so and will continue to be.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: There's some recruiting that goes along in the process as well, Jack,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and I guess for me, I'm kind of curious about
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: that side of it because we saw you make some
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: big catches, big really big catch and and do some things.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: You're a guy though in a league that's filled with
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: receivers and diva receivers that want to see the ball
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a hundred times, you may not see the ball that
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: many times. Yeah, but you're a special teams guy and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you're a huge part of the running game. And I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: know McDonald, what did what did Mike say during that process?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Because I know it's great to get paid and they
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: match the all those things, but you have to feel wanted.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: So what did what did Mike say specifically? Or even John?
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Well, I think that's kind of the the the poll
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: of this place is like, it wasn't necessarily a conversation
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: that we had, John, Mike, frizz the receivers, coach, whoever.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: They just create an environment where you know you're wanted.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: So it's not necessarily anything he said to me or
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: my agent or whatever. But we both knew that each
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: of us wanted to get what I do back here
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: into this team, in this organization.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It was value. It was cool and can you feel
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that every day.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think that necessarily comes from verbal confirmation, but
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: they do a very very good job of all ninety
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: right now, all seventy guys when you get into the
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: fall of knowing their value and being being able to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: create confidence and instilling confidence in that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The Jake with coach frizz we saw him on hard
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Knocks and with JSN and they were kind of going
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: back and forth a little bit. Yeah, and that's just
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: the process. Tell us about him because that's a coach
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and nobody really heard from before. Fans tell us about him.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Well, he's the ultimate players coach, I would say, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: and and that's very hard to find in today's league.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: We talk about building relationships and stuff earlier, and obviously
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: he's got the football i Q and some of the
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: scheme stuff, but there's so much more when you're dealing
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: with receivers who have very big personalities. And he's done
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: a very very good job of coming in setting the
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: tone for who we want to be as a room,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: creating an atmosphere and environment where everybody feels like and
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: is aware of what they add to that room, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: he does he does that in his in his own way,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: creating relationships with each individual in that room. He's done
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: a very very good job of. And he knows when
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: to push and when to kind of take his foot
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: off the gas, which I'm sure I haven't seen it,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: but I'm sure you saw the other day.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Those two go at.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: It in a very constructive It was.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: It was the two of them together and just talking
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: about terminology and verbage and some different things he wants
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to the new offense. And it was a sided jasket
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: like it didn't come across as being the diva receiver
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: or he was just he's got a lot of that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: No he doesn't, but it was it was kind of
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a cool little part to see him, oh yeah, kind
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of go and they're back and forth and it was
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a great interaction, and I just thought, that's collaboration. And
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: it also, I mean, here's the best receiver in the
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: NFL right now, huh and talking to his coach and
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: his coach like, yeah, no, this is how it's gonna
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: be and they're gonna do it like this. And that's
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the other thing.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Friz knows when he can say that, Yeah, and then
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: when you gotta kind of gotta let Jax be Jacks or.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Coop be Coop or she'd be shed.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Frizz knows all of us, yeah, very very well, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: he's done a good job of of getting to know us,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: and he knows which buttons to push when.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: How's the how's the nuances of the new offense? I mean,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: it's that same treaty, I guess, so to speak, But
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: even we got a glimpse of it, there is there
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: are some differences. What do you like about?
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: What?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Just what do you like about and sense of what's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: new this year?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Now? Yeah, we're uh coach Flurry Flu has you know
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: you're going to have your offensive coordinator is going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: put his his twist on the offense. Like you say,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: it's the same kind of West Coast verbiage scheme. But
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Flu has done a really really good job of kind
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: of defining who defining who he wants to be as
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: an offensive coordinator. What's he wants, what he wants to
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: do in the run game, what he wants to do
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: in the past game. We know we're continuing to get
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: to know kind of his personality, his style to the
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: point where we kind of know what he's gonna call when,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and I don't necessarily want to put a lot of
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: that out there, but you know, it's been cool to
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: watch him come in and we're running a lot of
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: the same scheme, but he's definitely got his own, uh
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: seasoning and spice on some things, which will be fun
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: to watch.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Jake bobble with us. Fourth year in the NFL. We
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: first met you four years ago. You said you never
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: could have believed four years ago you'd be in the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: situation you were a last off season, people bidding on
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: your talents and getting a nice payday and this taking
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: care of you and kind of giving you a little
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: bit of stability maybe as well. But I want to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: ask you about the touchdown against the Rams. Can you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: just for a guy like you that just grinded to
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: get there and is doing a lot of the dirty work,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: especially the line of scrimmage? What did that? What was that?
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: Like? What meant?
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: It meant a lot to be able to contribute in
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: a way that's you know, literally on the scoreboard. Yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: I hadn't done a lot of that season. Yeah, And
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: obviously as a as a competitor, you want to be
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: able to contribute to your team's success, and we were
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: having a lot of success, and my role wasn't, necessarily,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: like you said, able to be viewed in that manner,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I guess I would say, And so to be able
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: to do that, it's cool, But at the same time,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: you've got to keep that the mindset of whatever I've
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: got to do to contribute, what do I have to
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: do to help us win games? If I didn't catch
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: a single ball last year and we go ahead and
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: win the sup Bowl, and I do what I gotta
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: do on special teams in the run game that I'm
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I'm in. So that's kind of my mindset now going
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: into this year. Like you said, maybe a little more stability,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: but it's the same mindset. Go do what you need
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: to do to get wins, to score touchdowns, to make
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: tackles on special teams, and put our team in a
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: position to win games.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: The I mean it's the ring was gonna come down.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You got the ring came down, game down, the ceiling
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: came game down out of the ceiling. A couple more
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: minutes here with Jake Bob before we let him go. Uh,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: let me, do you feel the love from the fans
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: that the people have for I mean, there's a group
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: of people here waiting for you, like it's you go
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: on the field. I hear your name called out as
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: much as anybody else. It is odd, and I mean,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: but it's cool. Like so, I think part of your
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: personality you're very engaging. But I think, but what does
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: that mean to a guy that's like you just come
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: out here. You just said it's it's about this building,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: it's about Mike McDonald, but it's about all these folks too, right,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, what what is that like for you as
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: a player to come from where you were underrat a

• 14:07
  Speaker 4: And uh, to be able to do that but also
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: kind of have the the following that I have is
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: is very very cool. Now, would I like to be

• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Got right now? Oh dude, it's so.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: The problem is you're.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Not getting a lot of uh. I think you're not
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: getting a lot of insight into that room because they've
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: got to cut basically everything that goes on in that
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: meeting room because you can't put the stuff that is
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: said right out on airs.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: If a personnel offensive player of the Year guy that
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: probably should go to the Hall of Fame, that's like
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: a coach on the field probably Yeah, yeah, I mean
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: I bring that up people and watch hard Knocks. He's
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: in in the in the offense, all.
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: Oh my god.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got this kid named Horton who's healthy. Yeah,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: this kid. And then you got a guy Jake Bobbo
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that like, okay, well we need a touchdown in the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: NFC Championship gameble trust this guy in the end in
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the red zone. Boom you get there. Yeah, and then
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: about honestly, for being honest, like seven guys will probably
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: battling for one spot. Yeah, it's a hell of a run.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: That's a hell of a run.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: We've got some really the best parts of personalities. Yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: you know, we talked about a little bit earlier. It's
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: the best.
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: It's coming to work.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Those guys make that fun.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'll wrap it up to this. You got a preseason
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: game on Saturday. You're gonna play? Oh yeah, okay, oh
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: yeah yeah? Is that just I mean sometimes there's people

  Speaker 4: not being as a full participant. So for me, I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to getting in there and banging around
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: a little bit and being able to put my body
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: on some folks that haven't been able to do because

• 17:59
  Speaker 2: guess just me, No Greg and no Softy, just me.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no me, because I never get to go on
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: those things.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Well, i'd love to have you up there. You're doing
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: a morning show. Fans stop by afterwards if you want,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Hey there.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: I might do that.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Actually, let's go. It is my wife's birthday tomorrow. Maybe
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: that's probably not a good idea. I'm just guessing that
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: might not be a great idea for you. And I
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: didn't realize this. I don't keep track of this as
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: much as others do. Greg mentioned earlier, I guess this
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: is the last day of fans out here today, oh
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: or training camp, got it?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Which is always kind of a bittersweet day. There's there's
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: part of me that when we come out here, I'm like, yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: this is great having fans give you some energy to
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: do a show and mess around all those things. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: then there's part of me that's like, I kind of
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: like what it's a little.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Quiet, Yeah, the business side of things, right, it's just
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: a little bit less logistically, you know, an issue, but
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: we but.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: We have had a nice little mix this year of
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: you know, there's days fans are here days or not.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: But I in general sense having the fans out here
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: there is a different level of energy on the field
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: for us doing so this is it. They'll they'll pack
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: up all the canopies, school buses will get parked until
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: they start taking kids to school. Rent and Landing will
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: kind of settle down and away we go. But great
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to have Jake Bobo on. Hopefully we appreciate it. He's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: just I love talking to the guy. He's a fun
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: dude to talk to. He's a great story. Undrafted free agent.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: And you know when he came in here as an
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: undrafted free agent four years ago, started making plays right
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: off the get go, like from day one, was making plays.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, the wide receiver room wasn't as good,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: it wasn't as deep then. Obviously now it's we're just
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: going through. He's number five and they paid him, like,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they paid him a decent amount of money. And he's
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the number five guy on this roster in the depth chart,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: and that means there's if we assume they're gonna keep six,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: there's like honestly about seven guys battling for one spot. Wow.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: And now you know what that sounds like, Ian, there's
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: seven teams battling from one wild card spot in the
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: American League.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the mushy middle.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: This is not the mushy It is the Super Bowl
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: champion roster right here.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: This is not the mushy middle. So uh at all.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: But we want to go back. You brought something up.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I forgot, we forgot to talk about it. So of
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: all the things with hard knocks the other day, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we talked to Bubble about Yep, I do
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: like these these guys that don't watch it. I think
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: it's kind of funny, like, guys aren't watching it stuff.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I don't always believe him.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: To be honest.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: That's true, you know that, especially if you know you
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: were miked up. You're trying to look for yourself.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I don't. I don't always buy that they
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: weren't watching it and stuff. But maybe they were. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: don't know. Yeah, I'll believe Jake Bobbo because we like Jake.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I would say that one of the highlights
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: the other day had to have been Marshawn and just
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and being basically Marshawn. Yeah, like and no other way
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to put it. He was being Marshaw and so he's
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: doing the Madden grating system. Is that what he was? Yeah?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: So they have ratings adjusters go out to training camps
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: to games that it's a PR play, let's be honest,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: trying to build hype for the video game, right, But
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: their their official job is to like, Okay, I'm watching
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: this this player play and I'm looking at his ratings
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: and maybe he needs to go up in his speed
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: or down in his catching or what right?
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it was it was definitely a PR play
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: for Marshawn to be like, we got to get you
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: to a ninety, we got to get you to a ninety.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: And then his comment, my god, my favorite thing is
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: when he's talking to Tia Cotta and he's like, what
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: is with all these white dbs out here?
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: So good?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: So Marshan, Oh.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: My god, the most Marshaan thing ever Tylecott, who apparently
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: you know, now we knew he was a good talker
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: on the air, I didn't realize that title. Cotta was
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the talker on the field as well. I got the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: big scrap to the day with Tory Horton, Yeah, and
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: which was interesting. He got into that and and Bobo was,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of talking about you know how Ocatta
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: is always talking. Man. Yeah, that the Marshan's I'm sure
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: there were people that were butt hurt by that too,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: for him saying something. But it's Andrews, you know, the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: world we want. I know, it's everything has to be literal.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: But Marshawn actually is he might be the one guy
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: out there that he can say something if somebody, if
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: somebody else says something it's offensive, that's true. Marshawn says,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: he was like, that's Marshaan whatever. It's so true, right,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: It's just yeah, you're just doing your things. Uh, but yeah,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: that was I thought that was that was. We didn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: even talk about the interaction with js Ann. Oh yeah,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Fris the coach.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I think it's just such a good
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: representation of while you have competitive atmosphere and competitive personalities
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: on this team and that want to be pushed, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: it's not like the superstar running the show that's just
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: gonna do whatever he wants, right. The coaches are going
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: to push him and they're gonna tell him exactly what
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: they see and like, hey, you need to be better
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: at this, be better at that. And Jays sends, you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: push him back a little bit, being like, hey, I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: didn't hear what you were saying. There was a miscommunication,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: but that's what health the communication looks like within a
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: team environment. And I just love that representation to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: completely honest.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Well, and I think too with with you know, how
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: how it's portrayed and how we've kind of seen JSN
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: for a while. What what we've seen from him is
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a guy that is just very i'll say, understated, kind
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of quiet. Uh, he's not a he's not a you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: like this isn't That's what's weird about this wide receiver
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: group is they don't have those guys. They don't have
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: those dudes that are just over the top boisterous. Like
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: you think of wide receivers in the NFL and you
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: think of, you know, the guys that are just look
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: at me, right, the look at me guys and oftentimes
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: you know, the devil wide receiver. They have a guy
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that had the best season in the league last year
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: as a wide receiver and in JSN, and you wouldn't
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: really know it by the way he conducts himself. And
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: he's just he's trying to perfect his craft. And I
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: think that's what I saw in that thing, is you know, quietly,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes, he's trying to get he's trying to,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: you know, become the best he can be and do
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: it in a way as well that's I don't want
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: to stay aggressive, but it's like assertive, I thin think
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: is the right word assertive And and he he came
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: across that way. But if that's his grind, everyone else follows.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: And I think the biggest thing here is the Cooper
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Cup Edition last year. You know, Andrews and I were
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: talking about Gino Suarez off the air and Gino's Geno's
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: value to the Mariners his two stints here goes Now,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: we know the home run, the big home run, we
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: also know other home runs, and.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Well, how about a third baseman that can play third base?
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And I was just gonna say, shocking and an underrated
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: third basement. A lot of people said, oh, he's not
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: the same third baseman used to be. Okay, but he's
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: still damn good. And but what Gino's value was was
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: in the little things. And there's absolutely no doubt his
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: value is in the clubhouse, like there's no doubt and
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt that the you know, this is still
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the sign there that says good vibes, only it's still there.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And what Gino meant to this team off the field
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: was immeasurable, and we're seeing it this year. It's a
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: team that's lifeless. It's a team that has no personality.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: It's a team that just is is there.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: How many times has Chris told us on Molly about Monday,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: this team doesn't look like they are haven't any funny
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: And they don't I think anybody watching a game can
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: see that. Well, I'll go to Cooper Cup for a
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: second Cooper Cup. His value to the to the team,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: for Cooper Cup goes far, far beyond anything that has
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: to do with just catches in yards. Now, he's a
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: reliable receiver. I think he's a Hall of Famer, and.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have a bounce back year this
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: year on the field.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Personally, well, and you know, I just have have more
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: of a fact, have a more of a role. I
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: could see that for sure. But what Cooper Cup brings
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you can't measure. You can't measure the conversations he has
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: with Sam Darnold and Mike McDonald and then all the receivers,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and then if you saw it watching Hard Knocks O
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the Night, talking topoon right, and you know who's your
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: best corner and going through stuff with him like his
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: his value in that regard is immeasurable. You can't even
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you can't measure that. You can't talk about that, or
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you can't you can't really look at that and say, well,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: he had forty five catches five hundred yard whatever it was, right,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: that doesn't matter. I think those are the things that
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I think sometimes those are the things in Dave's sports
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: to get lost. To be honest with the Anders, like
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: we we talk about people rip on analytics all the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: time and all those things. Listen, numbers are fine, Numbers
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: are needed. And if you don't embrace numbers in today's sports,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: if you're not doing that, you're you're well well behind
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the curve, like and you're well behind everybody else who is.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: That's just that's just ridiculous that you're that you're not
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: embracing those things. But what you can't lose sight of.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: We always hear the eye test, and there's true that's
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: eye test is fine. And I think I'll tell you this,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I I the eye test for me. When I hear
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Hugh Millen talking about, you know why every snap of
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: every play for like e Manuel Wilson last year or
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Jadari Price, things like that, like the eye of Hugh Millen,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I trust, like I trust that. I want. I want
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to know what huc's on tape and on film. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: there's a reason you do all those things. But what
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you can't measure is the other intangibles necessarily, and you
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: cannot forget that. Clubhouse chemistry, locker room chemistry, those types
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: of leadership, leadership, quiet leadership. This the personality is huge.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say that you might have
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: dumped a salary and maybe you in the long run
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: will be okay because of the money you create for
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: next year. Whatever with with the Luis Castillo trade. I
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: just because he didn't speak great English and always use
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Freddie as a translator. I think we get lost sometimes
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: as fans. What his presence meant in that.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Clubhouse was huge, especially pitching staff right, they loved him.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I love him.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I mean I can think of the interviews because Softie
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and Faint have what's his face Logan Gilbert all the time. Yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: And I mean he always talks about it like that's
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: you can't, you can't. And you know what, I'm gonna
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: go with the guy we just talked to, Jake Bobo.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: He brings that as well.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: He guys.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I watch how he interacts out there, the way he
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: carries himself, how hard he plays, the fact that he's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a willing guy to block and everything else. Those things
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: are massive. Those things are massive, and and it's just
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: you cannot lose sight of all those things. This team's
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: got a tough This team's got a tough go all
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: right in terms of cutting some guys down. We'll take
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: a quick break. We'll come back, coming up at one
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: twenty today. You know Sarah's will join us two o'clock.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: It's the return of Brandon Funston. All right here in

  Speaker 1: r FM.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: All right, we are back hanging out today at the
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Virginia Mason Athletics Center. He in forness with you, and uh,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: you know, I never know who you're gonna run into
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: or see you walk by, looked over and I saw
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a guy from the British Columbia Lions in the Canadian
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Football League. You may know him. All listening to our
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: station is the great Rob Rank from Fox Sports dot
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Com at our NFL Draft Insider and he he was
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: walking by, said, Rant, you gotta stop by and say hi,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: So Hi, how are you?
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: I'm doing very well?
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: Ian?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I'm good. You've been doing the tour. How many teams
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: have you seen? Now?
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Seven?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Seven?
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: I just got back from the California trip, and that's
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: the you know LA Rams at l A Chargers, the
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: sevens of forty nine ers, Dallas Cowboys practice in Oxton, California,
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: and then the Tennessee Titans were there to practice against
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: the forty nine ers, so I got a little bit
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: of a of a feel for them. Denver Broncos, and
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: of course the Super Bowl Championshawks.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So we've talked to you about the I think the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: two LA teams, and I think that's what we kind
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: of discussed before. Let me ask you about We're gonna
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: see Dallas here on Saturday. It's an interesting matchup as
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a preseason game that the Cowboys are here. The teams
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: play again in December, yep, on Monday Night Football, which
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: you don't always see that when you're playing a team
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: twice like so it'll be probably as vanilla as it gets.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: But the Cowboys, if they would have had any kind
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: of defense last week last season, they would have been
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Their offense is loaded. They've got a big time running back,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: two great receivers, dak Is there, probably a pretty good
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: offensive line. Maybe a question at left tackle. What'd you
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: see from Dallas?
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: You know, the Cowboys to me are similar in some
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: ways as the Los Angeles Rams, and then I think
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: if they're pretty top heavy, they have exceptional talent as
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: you mentioned, like on offense, the skilled position play right
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: for people wondering exactly, George Pickens to me is about
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: as physically gifted wide receivers or as in all of
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: the NFL. I mean, and his teammates Ceedee Lamb might
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: just be the best receiver in the NFL right there
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: with Jackson Smith and Jig But I mean, he doesn't
• 31:01
  Speaker 10: necessarily have that elite straight line speed or size that
• 31:04
  Speaker 10: that Pickens has, but he just gets open against everybody,
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: catches everything, and just phenomenal those top two wide receivers.
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: But after that, look, I like Ryan Flornoy, who's their
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: slot receiver. But after that, they they've got about eight
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: guys that are fighting for two or three spots. Interestingly enough,
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: the Dallas wide receiver coach is Junior Adams, who was
• 31:26
  Speaker 10: you know, Cooper Cups positional coach at Eastern Washington back
• 31:29
  Speaker 10: in the day was a UW who's an Oregon. So
• 31:32
  Speaker 10: there's a bunch of players that are fighting for roster
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: spots there. So I think that They're interesting that way.
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: They don't have the depth maybe that Seattle has or
• 31:39
  Speaker 10: some of the other great teams. I think that their
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: receivers are a really interesting positional group to watch. I
• 31:45
  Speaker 10: also think the defensive line they're they're their front end talent,
• 31:49
  Speaker 10: you know, it really is good.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: They made the splashy.
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: Trade of course of Micah Parsons, but you got Kenny
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: Clark back, you know, in that trade.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: He's a really good player. Uh at the big defensive.
• 32:01
  Speaker 10: Tackle of it, Quinn Williams from the Jets and another
• 32:03
  Speaker 10: trade those two are are ay shn Gary is a
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: really good player as well. So they've got some Uh
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: they've had back to back first round selections of edge
• 32:14
  Speaker 10: rushers Donovan Azeraku and then this past year, uh they
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: kid from u c LF male Kay Lawrence. So they
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: have a lot of young and just fierce talent on
• 32:25
  Speaker 10: that defensive line. But I don't think their linebackers are
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: a little bit of a drop off. Their their defensive
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: backfield is a little bit of a drop off, with
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: the exception of their rookie Caleb Downs, who I think
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: is a superstar.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: We watched him, you laid eyes on him, would you.
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: Think, well, It's funny because Caleb Yes. And that's the
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: thing is that he was more of kind of a
• 32:44
  Speaker 10: traditional strong safety type at Ohio State and and so
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: he didn't have a lot of balls thrown in his
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: direction once he starred as a as a as a
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: true freshman at Alabama, and so he made that transition
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: to playing not only safety for Dallas, but also that
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: nickel corner spot.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: And they lined him.
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: Up one on one against Ceedee Lamb, and again I
• 33:05
  Speaker 10: mentioned a moment ago I think, see Lamb can get
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: open on anybody, couldn't get open on Caleb Downs. And
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: that's the thing is a lot of people that was
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: one of the reasons why people kind of questioned Caleb Downs, is.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: He truly a blue chip player? Does he deserve to
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: be a top five, top ten selection. He was my.
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: Favorite player in the entire draft at any position ian
• 33:23
  Speaker 10: so I was very intrigued to see that.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: I thought that he could do.
• 33:27
  Speaker 10: It's kind of like Jadarian Price, just because he didn't
• 33:29
  Speaker 10: catch a lot of passes out of the backfield Notre Dame.
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: What I did see him do, I thought, Hey, this translates,
• 33:35
  Speaker 10: just throw the ball more to him. He's going to
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: continue to start in that role. Same thing with Caleb Downs.
• 33:41
  Speaker 10: He was fantastic in coverage, at least in practice. Against
• 33:45
  Speaker 10: the Cowboys, he had a breakup of a potential touchdown
• 33:48
  Speaker 10: from Dak to Ceedee Lamb in the back of the
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: end zone. Tho, it was just one of those plays
• 33:51
  Speaker 10: where it's like there's only so many people on Earth
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: who can make up the ground tip that ball away.
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: And I love the most about Ian is after he
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: tipped the ball away, he has turned with a CD
• 34:01
  Speaker 10: and just walked away like this is what I do.
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: This is not a reason to celebrate, and and Ceedee
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: Lamb and Dak Prescott.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Looked at each other like, oh my goodness, and we've got.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: A guy on I love that because again, like if
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: they would they had a top five offense and a
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: bottom five defense last year. Yeah, and that's why they
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: didn't make the playoffs. You said something that was an
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: interesting term there, because I think it applies you mentioned
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: to the Rams as well, top heavy, and it's great
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: to have. I think, if we've been honest, that's probably
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: what was the downfall of this team in say twenty fifteen,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, right is you having to pay
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: all these big names, these big players, these superstars. What
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: has the price you pay is you don't have any
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: middle class salary cap wise, right, And then that means
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: your depth isn't very good. And last I checked in
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the NFL, you need some depth. Is that what you
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: mean by my top heavy for those two teams?
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: It is?
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: And that's the thing. I do see that as a
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: real problem here with the Los Angeles Rams, for example.
• 34:57
  Speaker 10: I think that's what the team that the Seahawks fans
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: out for. I think the forty nine ers have that
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: they just of course is struggling with so much, so
• 35:04
  Speaker 10: many injuries. And I did, you know, I was a
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: little worried about that. I thought I had some you know,
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: some appointments set up with you know, massuses and.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Things right there exactly.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: I was nervous.
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: Don't pull a hamstrings walk out to the car, you know.
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: But uh, yeah, it's it's just it's remarkable the number
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: of injuries the forty nine ers have had. I mean,
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: seeing George Kittle's sideline, seeing Christian McCaffrey silent, and they
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: were both I don't know if I'm getting away trades
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: that gets here, but they were both walking around just fine.
• 35:32
  Speaker 10: They looked ready to go.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and which is what I'm rooting for.
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: I want to see the best players in the world competing,
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: and I think that's what the Seahawks want to They
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: just want to beat them. And so the forty nine ers,
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: I think that they have some problems in that way.
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: Top heavy, but also because they had so many injuries
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: last year, they're may be a.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Little bit better prepared.
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: The Los Angeles Rams, with all the moneies that they
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: all the money that they've allocated, obviously to Matthew Stafford,
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: soon likely to beat a Puka Nakua, Miles Garrett, Trent McDuffie,
• 36:01
  Speaker 10: whoever the case might be. They have such they have
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: the best maybe five players of any team in the league,
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: as far as R five against your five, But of
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: course there's eleven on each side of the field, and
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: that's where I think that there's the drop off.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: And so if they do have an injury to a Matthew.
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: Stafford, a Puka Nakua, Miles Garrett, a Trent McDuffie, I
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: don't know that they have the depth that Seattle has.
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: To me, there's two teams that at least in my
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: tour of the NFL that really stood out in terms
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: of both top end talent and depth, and that are
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: the Those are the sel Shawks and the Denver Broncos.
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: To me, they look like the two again top heavy
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: talent as well as depth that if they did suffer
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: some type of a significant injury, they have the guys
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: to be able to step up into those opportunities.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: You told us people missed the conversation with Rob a
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. You were telling us that the Broncos.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: You were really impressed by the Broncos, really really impressed
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: by the Broncos.
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 10: I mean I I still remain a bit skeptical with
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: bow Knicks.
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: You know, you and I remember us.
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: You know, we've been evaluating prospects together for so many
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: years now, and we could go back to the John
• 37:08
  Speaker 10: Elway days.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: It feels like, you know, but with bow Knicks.
• 37:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, he's just struggled so much early in his
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: college career, but we've seen the improvement that he has
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: made over years. If he plays just even average football
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: at the NFL starting caliber quarterback, then I think that
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: the Denver Broncos are really set up nicely to make
• 37:29
  Speaker 10: a deep run. I just think that the rest of
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: the teams in the AFC West are good. I don't
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: know any of them are great. Maybe Patrick Mahomes can
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: put that Super Bowl Kate back on, but I'm skeptical
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: of that. I'm eager to see what happens in the
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: La Chargers, but to me, they have some holes as well.
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: But the Denver Broncos, to their offensive line is fantastic.
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: They have got a just a series of running backs.
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: They made the big splash of trade for Jalen Waddells,
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: so they have a true speed threat on the offense.
• 37:56
  Speaker 10: It's going to be able to just make their offense
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: that much more dynamic. And their defense in terms of
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: their speed, pass rushers and their cornerbacks, I think that
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: they're spectacular. So I'm eager to see the Brockles.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You sound like you're ready for some football. I absolutely
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: am ready for some football, my friend. I like that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I like that. I won't even press on. I mean,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you're bread and Butter's college. But we'll get to that
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: later on. Huh, we'll get to that. We got a couple,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I do believe, am I right here in saying this?
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: It's Today's the thirteenth, So it's two weeks from Saturday.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Is week zero in college football.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah sounds about right. Yeah, I'm excited for it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: I just haven't done my prep the way I normally have,
• 38:37
  Speaker 10: just because of course, like I said, I've been on
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: the road for the NFL teams.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: My BC lines play literally tonight.
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and so I am all into NFL trending camps
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: and the CFL regular season and college football. Ian I
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: probably should be doing more prep than I have, especially
• 38:55
  Speaker 10: with nil and guys transferring every other game, you know,
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: But at this point I am very much into the
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: professional football ranks, and I'll worry about college football when we.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: Get a little bit deeper in August.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I won't press you. I know. If I asked you
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: about a random guy that plays for Florida State, you'd
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: give me as all his vitals. But I won't do
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: that to you today. I want a way for two
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: weeks to do next. I think Florida State plays Week
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: zero so against SMU if I'm not mistaken. That is
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Rob rang during the season. Brought to you by our
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: good friends at forrellis Foreli's Pizza Frelispizza dot Com I'll
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: let you get out there. You've got Andrews. Rob's got
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: no book in hand. Excellent, he's making his way around here.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna tell you who he's got written down
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: on the notebook, but he's got no book in hands,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: so he's got some work to do. We'll turn you loose,
• 39:38

• 39:40
  Speaker 2: you laid eyes on this team in his first preseason game,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: which is Saturday, and get some thoughts in the young guys,

  Speaker 2: because there are a lot of really good young players,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: and the Seahaws are gonna play on Saturday, and there's
• 39:49

  Speaker 2: to begin, and it's the final one of the summer
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: with fans here, is what I'm told for some reason. Yeah,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I think this is it.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: This is it.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: No more fans after today, but the great crowd, man,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you. Let me just a quick shout out
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Anders if I can to the Yeah, the fans that
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: have been coming here this year. I mentioned it last year.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Really the last I want to say, kind of since
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: COVID's been over. We had no fans here in twenty twenty.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I don't even think we had fans here in twenty
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: twenty one. Now that I think of it, I'm kind
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: of thinking back. I don't think we did. I'd have
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: to ask, but i'd have to fact check me on that, somebody.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think we had fits because remember,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: you know, the whole time of our world was so
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: messed up, but we twenty twenty was weird. I look
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: out in the berm now and you know that whole
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: crazy time in our life when we were just getting
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: underway with the pandemic and you know, there was like
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: ten of us out here. We were doing live shots
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: for Fox on top of the berm, fifty yards away
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: from the players. Couldn't They wouldn't even let us be
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: out here like I if they saw me get close
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: to my photographer, they got like freaked out and they
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: were playing football, which was crazy. But we could do that.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: We're getting tested every day down the back lot. That
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: was fun. Swab up the nose, good times, Yeah, a
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: lot of fun.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Please, what's that? Don't remind us of that time?
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: God?
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I know, but since really since COVID, the last couple
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: of years, we have not. It just felt like there's
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: been something missing out here fan wise. That is not
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: the case this year. That is just not that is
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: not in the case is year. These are our The
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: twelves have been here in full force. The atmosphere has
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: been electric, and it's just been and that's what you
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: would expect, I guess, right with a defending Super Bowl
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: champion team, that's you would expect all those things to
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: be the case. So last day here for them teams
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: making their way on the field right now, we'll kind
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: of keeping an eye on things. They'll have a little
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: bit of a walk through tomorrow and then the preseason
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: game coming up on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. So
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: at Loomingfield, and I was telling somebody that we're working
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: with on Saturday, wait till you see a Seahawk preseason game.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: It doesn't I've I've been to a lot of preseason
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: football games across the country. It's different here, man. Our
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: fans are just flat out different. Yeah, they're just different.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: They they come out, they'll support it. If you listen
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: to Softy, there's a lot of folks like that that
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: are season ticket holders and they'll give their tickets away
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: like Softy does to other people that don't normally go,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: and so that leads that leads to still a full
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: stadium and yet also a lot of enthusiasm. So it
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel like a preseason game.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of places that we went to over
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: the years where it's like, okay, it looked like a
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you know, a MAC game on a Tuesday night. Was
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Central Michigan and Toledo playing or something. So it's a
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: little bit different here. Along the way. One of the
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: things Jake Bobo saying he is gonna play if he
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: joined us and missed it earlier. Jake Bobo joined us
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: in the one o'clock hour. He will play, he said
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. On Saturday, which I would expect him to.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I don't expect in any way, shape or form to
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: see Rashid Shiheed, Jackson Smith and Jigba Cooper Cup and
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: probably not Tory Horton. I wouldn't think would play. I
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna kind of keep treating him with kid gloves,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: but we'll see if he finds his way onto the field.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe they want to get him some snaps since he
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: didn't play a lot at the end of last season.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: But by and large, and we won't hear from Mike
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: McDonald until tomorrow, but the premise is is they're probably
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: not going to play Starter Seattle, and it doesn't sound
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: like Dallas is gonna do that as well. So that
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: leaves you for a lot of guys battling for roster spots,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: which would be kind of fun as well. I'll tell
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: you what we met this yesterday and we'll replay it
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit tomorrow. I I really was looking forward
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: to this last year and it kind of turned out
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: to be I don't want to say a disappointment, but
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: it wasn't what I was hoping to see this year.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I think different. We're gonna I'm expecting and hoping and
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: excited to see Jalen Milroe. And we talked about that
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: with Hugh Millan yesterday. Uh see what, see what he's
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: all about? See what See what Jaln Milroe has done.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: We've watched him in practice. There is absolutely no doubt
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: he has improved. Uh there's no and and you know
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: the the Humillan quarterback one on one throw what to
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: the right person on time, on time, accurately, accurately. Okay,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Well he's been doing that a hell of a lot
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: more this year than he did last year. So I'm
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: excited to see what he did does against another team
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: in a stadium setting, on a field, in real football game,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: real football being preseason. Because I think Milroe, I I
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: don't think, I know, they really want to see him
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: take a forward step this year. They drew Locks, got
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: one year left, and then do you bring him back?
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: I think I in an ideal world, you'd like to
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: save a little bit of money and have Milroe be
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: your backup next year? Is Sam Darnold? Yeah, but you're
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: not gonna do that with a team that's a perennial
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: contender if you can't trust the guy to be your backup. Now,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the good thing is they've got three years left of
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Milrow under contract, right second year of a deal that
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: was not a first round pick, so they're not paying
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: him a lot rookie contract. Three years of control left,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: so they got some time to work with here. But
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I know they want to see him get better. And
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: I'll just tell you how important the backup quarterback position is.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: If Dak Prescott goes down again, and he has gone
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: down in his career, Dallas is being trouble because I
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: don't think Joe Milton is all that, and Sam Howel's
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: kind of backup. Well, their depth will be interesting to
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: see on Saturday, but it's it's Joe Milton and it's
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Sam Howell, and that ain't too good. So you want
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: to make sure you feel good about your about your
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback along the way. And I think Seattle obviously
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: feels great with Drew Locke. He'll get the first snaps,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, and then after that they've got they got
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Jaylen Miller and hopefully he'll play a lot this way
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: this preseason. All right, Uh, you know, Sarah's is going
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: to join us in just a couple of minutes. A
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: lot to get to with him. Mariner's scuffling along the way.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: No matter what happens today, doesn't even matter. They've lost
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: another series. Uh six straight losses? No, yeah, six straight losses,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: trying to avoid seven? As what was it? What was
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: the number that you gave me earlier? Oh wait, but
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: you stole that, you stole from Chris Crawford. Oh yeah,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: you sent a postcast. Yeah exactly.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: The Mariners fired Scott Service when they were sixty four
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: and sixty four in twenty twenty four. If they go
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: eight to no in the next eight games, including this
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: game currently, they will be sixty four and sixty five.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: So that tells you where they thought they were at
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: when they need to fire Scott's Service. And if the
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: eight eight games would tie their season long winning streak,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: and if they still did that, they would be worse
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: than at that point in twenty twenty four. God, yeah, so.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: They fired him. I believed August twenty second something like that.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it'll be a week from Saturdays when they fight,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: which is I think back I was at Where was
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: I I'm pretty sure I was that still call me
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Casino that day and I remember when that happened. I'm like, what, Yeah,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: what Wilson Permanent? Yeah, I know, And but but I
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: think the bigger point of that is it was deep
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: into the season. Yes, like everyone's wanting this to happen
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: for a while, and we're not even that ain't happening, right,
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: and it's probably not gonna happen this year either. All Right,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: we'll take a break, we'll come back Ino Sarahs from
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: the Athletic We'll join us where at the Virginia Mason

• 50:35
  Speaker 2: o'clock at Looming Field against the Dallas Cowboys in what
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: promises to be a battle of backups on Saturday. But
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: in the case of Seattle, some guys that are very
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: much on the bubble and there's not a lot of
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: roster spots available for the defending Super Bowl champions. Dallas
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: has a few more opportunities for guys than Seattle does,
• 50:56

• 53:22
  Speaker 2: had to get that out there. And they bring the Georgetown. Yeah,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: it's so good. And it's a great man. We have
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: a great party at that brewery too. It's Andrews. You
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: were there for like eight hours last year.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know I can. I can spend all day
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: there kidding me. Keep killing them up.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Let's go and call the uber. I'm here all right.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: I want to you guys did something on rate and barrels,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: and it jumped out at me that and and and
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: I think it has to do with our baseball team.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: And you did a podcast a couple of days ago
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: on it's called the Truth behind Boston's breakout and maybe
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: as much as anything on the offense. And we're trying
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: to wrap our arms around something here in Seattle, like
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: like the offense has just gone away. It's disappeared this
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: season cal Rawly specifically, but really as a team, it's
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: just disappeared. How did Boston turn it around? What's the blueprint?
• 54:17
  Speaker 9: They got more aggressive in the strike thone and U
• 54:22
  Speaker 9: and so you know, I've been talking about how I
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: think cal Ellen do that because his plate approach when
• 54:30
  Speaker 9: it comes to swing at strikes and not swinging it
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: at at balls has been way off this here and
• 54:37
  Speaker 9: the easiest way to fix that is to is to
• 54:41
  Speaker 9: look at it, to be aggressive in the zone. It's
• 54:44
  Speaker 9: it's really hard, I think to tell one don't swing
• 54:47
  Speaker 9: at that. You know, that's like a it's like a
• 54:50
  Speaker 9: weird mentality. It's a defensive mentality. It's better to say,
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: do swing at this, like, let's focus on this in particular.
• 54:59
  Speaker 9: And I forget where the Mariners ended up on that chart.
• 55:03
  Speaker 9: I'm trying to pull together something here real quick. But
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: in terms of uh, of the strikes on, do you
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: do you feel that they are too passive at times
• 55:11
  Speaker 9: or well tatching?
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I just watched Cal's last at Bad today,
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: and Andrews, I think you watched.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: It too, I did he now is one hitting one
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: this year?
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, which would be and that's a that's a whole
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: different topic all time low. Oh yeah, but the watching
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: his last at Bad, you know, he looked at at
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: least two the last two could strikes he just looked
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: at like just passively looked at him, you know, and
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: he struck. He struck out on five pitches, and he
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: looked at four pitches and he just passively looked at
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: all three strikes passively And and I say that like
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: like and and and honestly hitting from the left side,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: which is where he normally is most comfortable, and he
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: just he looked lost up there on the Andrews. Am
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: I wrong with that?
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: I think you could say the opposite about anything outside
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: the zone. Chases everything two feet above the strike zone
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: far more often than we've seen him do before.
• 56:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, so, I just I just ran the
• 56:09
  Speaker 9: numbers real quick. You know, this is the stat that
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: I've been talking about is zone minus chase. So it's
• 56:15
  Speaker 9: just how have you swing it's right, and how have
• 56:17
  Speaker 9: you not swing at it balls? And or how much
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: have you swing strikes minus how often you sing it balls?
• 56:24
  Speaker 9: And so you know, the higher than the number, the better.
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: And Seattle has the fifth worst number. It is right
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: there with with the Blue Jays who are really struggling.
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: The Royals are at the bottom there, the Giants are
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: at the bottom, and the Phillies and so you know,
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: the top teams at this the number one team the Dodgers,
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: Number two is the White Sox. The Braves are up there,
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: the Padres are good at this. So you know, I
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: think that is something you can do. And if you
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: look at the components of it. You know, they're kind
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: of messed up on both, which is that you know,
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: when it comes to swinging outside the zone, they're already
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: their second worst, you know, the third worst, and then
• 57:10
  Speaker 9: they're just not they're not. As like I said, if
• 57:14
  Speaker 9: you're going to be a team that doesn't know, that
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: doesn't have a great sense of where the strike zone is,
• 57:19
  Speaker 9: then at least the aggressive in the zone. That's what
• 57:21
  Speaker 9: the Braves do. They chase the fishes outside the zone.
• 57:24
  Speaker 9: But they just are really aggressive in the zone. And
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: so are the Dodgers. So you know, that's That's what
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: I would say, is like, hey, guys, the season's on
• 57:32
  Speaker 9: the line and we need to do damage on anything
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: in the strike zone. Let's hunt strikes. Let's be all
• 57:38
  Speaker 9: about strikes. Let's I won't as a hitting coach tell
• 57:42
  Speaker 9: you you've done anything wrong. If you swing and this
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: at a pitch that you could drive, I want you
• 57:47
  Speaker 9: to at least swing at it.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean exactly? It is that you
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: know serious for my Athletic Race and Bros. Podcast, Marriage
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: just did close out the game one nothing final. They
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: beat the Yankees. Today. Logan Gilbert and the bullpen were brilliant.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: A solo home run by who Anders.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: Who Weston Wilson.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Thank you, was the difference in this game. They have
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: eight wins all year. When they don't hit a home run,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: they get they get a win. Today they snapped their
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: six game losing streak, but they still lose the series
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: and just kind of an ugly fashion to the Yankees.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: But at least they had to Houston with a victory today.
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: What well, I think it's kind of interesting if you
• 58:25
  Speaker 9: look at the last thirty days, like Naylor's come online.
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: You know, Rolders is hitting well, Cole Young is hitting well,
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: Randy Roseande's hitting well better yeah yeah yeah, and and
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: Ken Zona is you know, he's not his best stretch,
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: but he's been doing fine. He's had four homers the
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: last thirty days and been to the bubblygue average which
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: actually been missing, have been count and the role players,
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: so Western Wilson coming through today is a big deal
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: because you see those like that core of like four
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: or five guys are doing fine, and then you're like
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: Brandon Donovan, you know, like col Emerson, Taylor Ward, like
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: you know, I know, Luke Raley's hurt, but like Luke
• 59:06
  Speaker 9: like that that's the type of player. They need someone
• 59:09
  Speaker 9: to step forward because that's the type of player that's
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: that comes to play with people on. You know, these
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: other guys get on and then they then then one
• 59:17
  Speaker 9: of these guys that come out coming up to eight
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: and they have to come up with a big hits.
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: So I mean, it's not fair to put it all
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: on them because it should be the studs. But you know,
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: it also needs to be there needs to be an
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: unlikely hero of this August and September for the man.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, today it was. It was a likely hero
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: in Logan Gilbert and an unlikely hero in Wilson with
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: the solo home run. But that it's I'm gonna ask
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: you just don't get mad at me, you know, because
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: I hope you don't get mad at me. Andrews. Don't
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: make fun of me. But I think this is an
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: important thing because someone someone asked me this the other
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: day and they and I actually was an asked. Was
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: playing golf with some guys and I hear this. I'm
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: so sick of hearing about approach, approach, approach, approach, What
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: the hell screw they approaches? Hit the ball? But what
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: you were just talking about, was approach right in terms
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: of what they're doing at the plate? Can you just
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: kind of give a one on one? And when we
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: hear that word, how do you define it?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: I mean basically, you know, swinging at strikes and not
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 9: swinging it balls. But you know, I think it's a
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 9: little bit more than that. It's about hunting, you know,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 9: looking for damage. I mean, we talk about this, how
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: much power is out in front of the plate, and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: you know, you know, so you have to be aggressive.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: You can't just go up to the plate looking for
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: a walk, right Like. That's not an approach that works either.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: So I guess another way that people talk about is
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: selectively aggressive. Yeah, but you know you've got to you
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: you've got to be up there to compete. I mean, guys,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 9: you can see it. When the guy has no power,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: they just fill up the zone and you know, you know,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: the pictures aren't afraid of them. And then you know
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: that then they can't walk that hit or who had
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: a great walk right in the miners, but no power,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 9: that doesn't pourt over, So you know, you have to
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: do damage. This is another way of looking at it.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 9: I looked at all the different things that are correlated
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: to team's success. And we talk on moneyball, OBP right
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: and plugging and putting average and kin as b bing.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 9: I just looked at a bunch of things, and right
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 9: now OBP is again, you know, the thing that's tightest
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: among the slash line. OEP is the tightest predictor of
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 9: of team's success. But slugging is pretty close. And slugging
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 9: and OBP are correlated to each other. They're related to
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: each other. You create walks with power, like you know,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: there was this guy Chris Davis with the Sea. He
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: went to the Baltimore Oriols. He did not have good
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 9: walk rates in the minors. He goes to Baltimore Orios.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: He hits fifty homers and he starts walking double digit
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: rates every year because pictures are afraid of him. So,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: you know, you gotta slug. I think approaches, you gotta slug.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: You gotta figure out what you can slug, and you
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 9: gotta slug, and you got to you gotta spit on
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: everything that's not that you can't slug.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: That's interesting. Yeah, And I see when we're talking about
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Cal and other guys, Cal actually is Andrews. Cal's walk right.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: Up this year, I think it's down. Let me, let
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: me double check.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: It feels like the only time he gets on is
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: a walk. And and I'm not trying to exaggerate or
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: e can be sarcastic. It just if and I'm wondering
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: if what you know you're saying with is fine.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like that there.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, no, people are still afraid of him and
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 9: he still walks. But his zone swing rate is the
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 9: worst it's ever been. So he's that's where he's not
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 9: doing damage when he can do damage, and zone the
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: zone is where you do damage. The slugging percentage on
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 9: pitches outside of the zone is two twenty.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: And that's like just anyone, right, not not just cal
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: That's the league.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, that's the league. So dude, you gotta you
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 9: gotta swing your pitches in the zone. That's as important
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 9: as not swinging pitches outside.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: The max free pitch today And just like I said,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: get up the solo home run and one nothing lost
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: to it gets the win. One of the things I
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: hear is we're talking about that which in the zone.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: You know with Freed, if I'm not mistaken, he's got
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: like his arsenal of pitches. He doesn't have one that
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: he goes to. More like he's like the most balanced
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: pitcher in baseball. Like it's everything's thirty percent. He throws
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: this thirty percent, this thirty So I bring that up
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: for this reason. How much of that approach sometimes is
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: a guessing game for a hitter.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, so that's probably what's happening with Rilly, is
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 9: that like he anticipated a slider in the zone and
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 9: got a fast on the zone. Like he he obviously
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: understands within the zone. Right, That's why I would tell
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 9: him as a hitting coach, be like, if it's in
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: his own, swing at it and and we'll talk about
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 9: why you were wrong about what it was later, you
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 9: know what I mean? Yeah, the aggressive in the zone
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 9: and if it means that you strike over it pipe
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 9: peaks a little bit. It also might mean that you
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 9: take you hit some dongs.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 9: That is that is modern pitching. Though You're seeing that
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 9: pitchers have added an entire pitch type on average over
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 9: the last two years. So the average starting pitcher now
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: has over has over i think nearly five pitches and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: it used to be four. So you know, it's it's
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 9: this whole like, I now throw three fastball, So you
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 9: expect one fastball, you get the wrong fastball. I throw
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: it in the zone. You expect fastball. Yeah, you start cutter,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 9: I throw slider.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 9: So it's like, yeah, free. It's pretty much the evolution
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 9: of the modern pitcher, because when he came up, he
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: was fastball curved, and then he added the slider, and
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: then he split the fastball into a cutter and a
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: sinker and a four scene and then he did this,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: and he did that, and now he has, yeah, six
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 9: pitches he throws at all times, all of them and
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: the strikes up.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a thing I pressed. I mean, listen,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: you got the one run, so but still an impressive win.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: You get a win over these guys with him pitching
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: is good to salvage that. I thought Louis Castile was done.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: That's what I was heard. Apparently h had a good
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: outing last night. Are the reports of the Rocks demise
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: greatly exaggerated?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Is that what I'm hearing?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 9: I mean I I was saying that, like a lot
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: of his metrics were just the same as exactly last year,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: and you know, I'm surprised that Seattle. You know, more
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: people weren't like dude, he has bad stretches. He begins
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 9: this season portly and he usually ends it well, you know.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: I just yeah, that's good for him. That's a guy,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and totally, but also just as on a team level,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 9: you know, I think it makes sense to get out
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: of that contract next year. Every year you're a year
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: older and those months go a little bit longer and
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 9: the good times are a little bit worse, you know
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: what I mean. I mean, yes, he can have these patterns,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 9: but as a pitcher, he was also obviously aging. So
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 9: I don't mind the trade that they did, but I
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 9: also didn't think that he was completely done.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Mariners have a huge series coming up, massive series coming
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: up this weekend. They go to Houston for three. They're
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: still see the game a half game, US is not
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: playing what five games out? Enders right heading into Houston
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: erect after the win, so even a sweep, there's still
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: two games out. Let's talk about the Astros a little bit.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Is this just them getting healthier? What's what's going on
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: down in Houston?
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 12: Uh?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 9: You know, Hunter Brown came back online, Hyden was Nancy
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 9: got healthy, So definitely you know, some something happening in
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 9: the in the pitching standpoint, you know, two Bays hitting
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 9: a little bit better recently, they're just you know, yeah,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 9: I think they getting right. They have an m V
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 9: p uh in Euron Alvarez, and they've been sort of
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 9: moving the pieces around to figure things out. I think
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 9: the Dalton Barshall acquisition is pretty good for them. Christian
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 9: Javier has been has actually been pitching better recently, has
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 9: regained some of his stuff, so they've they're they're just
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 9: cobbling together pitching staff and and moving the pieces around
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 9: there their bigger figure and and E'lon Alvarez. I do
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 9: think that the general trajectory of the team is downwards,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 9: but they're always danger because they still have some great
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 9: pieces there.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: And we'll see man as. We'll see Hunter Brown on
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: Sunday against Roade. Brian Wu who actually had a decent
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: outing the other day road Bryan Wu did against the
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: Yankees on Tuesday.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: The name.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: It's two different pictures now.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Listen. He he didn't give up a run in that
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: game on Tuesday, good for him, but his pitch count
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: got so high so early it kind of they had
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: to go to the bullpen, and the bullpen was, as
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: we found out, a little short staffed, and so I'm
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: not going to give him all that credit, but at
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: least they at least he gave him a chance on
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. We we've been debating this and and I
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: don't want to get in I'm not going to bring
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: you into our our sewer of Mariner fandom here, you know,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: and by any stretch, but we've been talking on and
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: off the air like this. This team's been so massively
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: frustrating this year. And yet I know you guys did
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: a podcast on Rate and Barrels about like dangerous pitching
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: staff in the postseason, and I bring that up for
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: this reason. Is it still safe to say if Seattle
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: was to find a way to get in It seems
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: like a long shot now, but who knows. But if
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: they were able to find a way to get in,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: is that pitching staff still a concern for other teams
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: if they had to face Seattle.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 9: Yes, Miller's been a little bit down, Hancocks, you know,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 9: not as good as he was in the beginning of
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: the season, But that five guys like that means that
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 9: not only are they five really good guys, but if
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 9: George Kirby falters in the second inning, you're not going
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 9: to your bullpen necessarily. You do have a Bryce Miller,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 9: you know. Yeah, So you know that's five. There's a
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 9: way that depth can even be a great asset in
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 9: the in the playoffs. And I don't think there's anybody
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 9: else who can go one through five and have his
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 9: quality at each position. Maybe there's somebody who has a
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 9: better ace or a better number two or whatever, but
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 9: one through five they would the uh, you know, a
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: top three rotation in the in the postseason, and they
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 9: could they could use Hancock as a super reliever, you know,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 9: and to have a guy come out with that arm angle,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 9: you know, maybe right after Kirby, right after Gilbert would
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: be pretty confusing into a hitter. So I think they
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 9: do definitely have where it takes.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: So they just they just got to squeak in baby
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Houston for three. Then they go to Milwaukee before we
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: check in with you again. So a little bit of
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: a tough stretch coming up here. We'll we'll check back
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: in with you, you know, next Thursday. In the meantime,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: you can find you know, stuff his work at the
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: athletic but also pretty much every day at the Rates
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: and Barrels podcast, tell folks about it.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, today we did a breakdown on how to judge
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: a front office that maybe we could talk about that,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 9: you know, oh god, we were focusing a little bit
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 9: on teams that have less of a track record, so
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 9: like the Peter Bendix Marlins and you know, the Posey Giants,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 9: and you know, because Britt, one of our co hosts,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 9: wrote a piece about Buster Posey recently. But yeah, you know,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: Jerry's had a long track record, and you know, it
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 9: seems pretty like, it seems pretty solid that what he
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 9: said he wants to do he's done, which is to
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: build sort of like an eighty six win team every year.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 9: And they've been pretty close to that every year and
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 9: they've been in it, but they haven't done the big thing,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 9: which is, you know, the most frustrating thing as a
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 9: fan is to say, yeah, you know, we've had some
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 9: good years, but you know, we want the big things.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: You know, eighty six wins Andrews, what's the percentage on that, sir?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: It's lower than fifty four. I think fifty four around
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: eighty nine or ninety wins around that.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: That was that was the number yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: it's it's yeah, trustless, we're we're well well well well yeah,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: eighty eighty eight wins would be fifty four percent. And yeah,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: that caught the SoundBite that will haunt that guy forever
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: until they win a World Series. All right.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 9: But the thing is that's that is modern. That's how
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 9: a lot of guys think. I mean, that's why the
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 9: Tigers trade away Tarr Schouogl right, like they're like, we
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 9: want to always, we always, we want to be competitive
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 9: every year. And you know we're not the Dodgers, you know.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: Oh god, we'll talk front office next week with you know.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for That'll be fun. All right, thanks,

• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: The offensive line right in front of us getting some
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: work and the hard knocks, true is hard at work
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: with them. I don't know who they got. Might let's
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: see who they got were banked up today? Maybe bo
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: Stevens maybe looking at it. Well, they're focus and they
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: go a solo shot on a guy. Might be bent,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: might be there, might be the offensive line.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: Coach Ben not Mike Ben John.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Oh god, I wish I had Softy's wallop. It's all
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: down heel.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Benders win one nothing and they snapped their six game
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: losing streak. They're still not good. Uh, they do get
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: a win?
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you feel any better about a one zero victory?
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: Ian Forness or Wilson was here.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: Here's here's what happened. This is all you need to
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: know about today's baseball game. Uh, you got a solo
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: shop from West and Wilson against Max Freed, who deserved
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: way better. But Logan Gilbert was fantastic, Yes he was.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: And then the bullpen was great. Yes, it was so
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: weird combination. But you scored one run in that band box.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Now that's the bad news. Good news is that's all
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: you needed. Good news is the Yankees didn't score any
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: you got but you got. But here, let's just say
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: it's a lost series. I don't know if you feel
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: any better if they would have won yesterday.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: And lost exactly does that matter?
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you fell one, you know, you lost two
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: of three, so uh more on them. You had a
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: note So we were talking to to you know, sirius
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: a moment ago. By the way, Brandon Funston's coming up
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: top of the out.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: Let's go.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Got some sled action going on right now.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 8: You can hear it.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Let's go. It's like NFL films in there, like that noise,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: John Madden boom, just the.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, the just the power of these guys just unbelievable.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: It's pretty really, it's really unbelievable watching these dudes. Anyway.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: The the numbers are still ugly for cal Rawley. Yes,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: another old for day to day. A couple of strikeouts,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: looked just lost in his last at bat.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: And you know Ino Sarah's was talking about Chris Davis
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: who went to Baltimore, had a huge year and then
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a drop off.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, massive drop off.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: Actually Cal now hitting.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Nine.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, what's your note?
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: So Chris Davis, which is really funny how you know,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: kind of brought him up without being a comp Yeah, right,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: which I hope that's not the comp because after Chris
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: Davis had his massive season where he hit I think
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: forty seven or forty eight home runs, Baltimore paid him
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: and then he was never the same after that, so
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: fell off an entire cliff was known as one of
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: the worst contracts in MLB history. Is paid him a lot.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: I hope that's not what's happening with Cal.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: Sho do not.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: It's a very similar style of player too. Or you're
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: very much reliant on the long ball. So we'll see
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: if that ends up happening. But the funny thing is
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: catrawling now with a one fifty nine batting average, And no,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not a batting average guy. I'm usually like kind
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: of what you know I was talking about on base
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: percentage is more of a you know, determining factor on but.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: The but the reality is is it is it players
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: from now one hundred years ago and one hundred years
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: I had batting average? Is the first number of people
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: look at?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 5: Correct?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: Exactly is it is? It's the reality. And the lowest
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: batting average for an entire season for a qualified player,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: meaning like an everyday player since nineteen twenty because nineteen
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: twenty before that was called the dead ball era, and
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: a bunch of guys had below one hundred batting averages.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: It's just a completely different game. So since nineteen twenty,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: the lowest batting average in a season is twenty eighteen
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: with you guessed it, Chris Davis with a one sixty
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: eight batting average. Wait, what one sixty eight is the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: lowest qualified player to end a season for a batting average.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, so Cal's hitting one fifty nine, so he's nine
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: points below.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: And he is a qualified hitter at this point in.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Time, if he probably will be probably will be shut
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: down for some reason, right, Okay, So for him just
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: to get to one sixty nine, one sixty nine, yeah, nice,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Any idea. What that would take, I'd have to do
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: some more digging on the math he had, Like, he'd
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: have to get fairly hot, he would like, I mean,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: the point, are are you at the point in this
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: season at the season now where like even today, it
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: took him to have an zero for four for it
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: to slip two points, Yeah, exactly, So for to go
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: up nine points, he's gonna have to have pretty good
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: strength together.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and again it was we haven't seen anything any
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: signs of that happening at any point at this point.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: But so what you're saying is is is there's a
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: good chance cal Rawley is going to end up with
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: the worst batting average in modern baseball history for an
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: everyday player.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: That is correct.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know what to say.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: You know what would be the most by that, you know,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: it would be the most Mariners thing ever. By the way,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: is if they shut him down with an injury or
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: something so that he wouldn't be qualified and so they
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have that stain on their on their history.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Well, i mean, let's like you almost then you like,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: if you're a Cal fan you don't want to see
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: him hit that, then you probably rooting for a ten
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: game losing streak where they do find a way to
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: shut him, like you know exactly is because they're not
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: doing that as long as they're in it, right and
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: they're still in it, so that is that is startling.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: To be honest with you, me, I was gonna update
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: on the the NBA expansion stuff with the uh private
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: equity group. I'll be honest with me, there's nothing to update, okay,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: uh it's it is just I'm just gonna use a
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: word I used a couple of times. It's sketchy. These
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: guys are not serious in any way, shape or form.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: But I'll try to get some more details and updated tomorrow.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: I'll do I'll just do that all right when we
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: come back following a very quick headlines, and trust me,
• 1:18:27

• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: needed one run along with a bullpen. Gilbert approved a

• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: Six innings of four hit, shutout baseball, seven strikeouts, one walk.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: And then Bizarto for Rare and Munyos came in and

• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: was it. Bullpen shuts him down one nothing. Mariners win.

• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: the background. All baby, it is time, It is time,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: Brandon Funston. How are you, my friend?
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 8: Oh it's my first air guitar of the year.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 8: Man, good to be back.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm telling you I am. And Anders can
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: confirm this is not just lip service. How it never
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: a day goes by once we get to training camp
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: for the Seahawks and we're out here to the Virginia
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: Mason Afltis and never does a day go by that
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: we don't have at least a few emails or texts,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: I should say coming in? When's Funston coming on? When
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: can I get my fantasy football fixed? I need a
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: Thursday Fundston fix. So it's good to have you back
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: again this year, my friend.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it is time.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 7: Where we're you know, hot, going hot and heavy with
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 7: it right now at the Athletic And one of these
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 7: times we're gonna have to figure out how many years
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 7: this has been. I think we're getting close to it.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 7: It's got to be up to like fourteen years. It's
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: a lot of years. A decade and a half at
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 7: this point.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Crazy, I think, I think we are. We'll have to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: off to go back in time. But you know, we
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: keep such great records and archives here are so good
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: that it's it should be fairly easy for me to
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: find out. So we'll do that along the way. Well,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: first of all, before let's let's stop with the pleasantries.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: I got it. Last time we had you on the air.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: I couldn't even respond. All I know is there a
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: lot of shots being taken at Ian. That's all I know.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: That's that's all I know.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: Andrews right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess he wasn't taking
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: enough of your advice there, Brendan.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: Apparently not, because the last for people missed it. Last
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: time I was on it was my fantasy football punishment
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: those guys. My group, my team league took the air
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: over on that Friday afternoon for an hour and Funston
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: was a guest and they basically it was a trashy
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: in session. But uh, but yeah, that's needed.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 7: But otherwise, as I said, you somehow managed to have
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 7: all your league mates do your job for you.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 8: As your punishment, which I thought was it was a
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 8: masterclass on.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Your on your part. And you know who that drives
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: nuts is softy like it just drives the nuts.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 11: Like.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Those guys there, they want to
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: do it again this year. There's no way.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody in our leagues are finished back
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: to back, last place finish it. So I just got
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: to avoid that this year. I gotta win the damn thing. Okay, this,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: here's what we're gonna do with fun over the next
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: few weeks. Just for people that are new in season,
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: we take phone calls, start, sit, drop, trade, et cetera.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: And we'll do text as well. That's in season. Uh,
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: but we're not in season yet. So before we get
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: in season, what we do and those and just when
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: we do those things, just know that, man, you got
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: to call early because our phones get jammed by like
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: one thirty, like a half hour before. He's on same
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: cast of characters, Mike at Men's, Ricky and Tacoma, basically
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: the entire town of Sultan Gregan Graham, Uh. Rob Rob
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: probably already like moping around, probably thinks his team sucks.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: He has been drafted.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 8: He guys.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: So we have our cast of characters all year. But
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: it's great to have those guys, uh and great to
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: have fun stumble. We'll do all those questions the next
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: few weeks. We're gonna go today general and then we'll
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: go buy some do some position groups over the next
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: few weeks to kind of get you prepped up where
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: you go in the meantime, Brandon, I'll let you plug
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: it at the end, but I want to do it
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: too right now because you guys at the Athletic it's
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: amazing what you have for fantasy football. Just give folks
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: a little taste of what you got going on there.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we have, you know, rankings glore from
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 7: Jake Seely, one of the best in the business at ranking.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 8: We also have a Fantasy Draft assistant now.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 9: Which basically put in up to five players and they'll.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 7: Tell you the draft. I'll tell you why gives you
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 7: a you know, we're gonna have that all over the place,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 7: and that's going to turn into a waiver wire questioning thing.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 7: It's of using AI, but it's not using AI. It's
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 7: just basically taking everything that we do there and it's
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 7: it's calling all the information and spinning it out quickly
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 7: for you.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 8: So it's, uh, it's a pretty slick tool that's going
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 8: going to only get better.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 7: We brought it in a couple of great sub stack
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 7: writers that were just Ben Gretch and Jacob Sanderson there
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 7: are and they have a they have a podcast together,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 7: but they're really good and we kind of identified them
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 7: as people that we want to have voices on our side.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 7: So we were bringing in some good new talent this
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 7: year as well. Excellent rookie class as they as they say,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 7: for the athletic this year, and uh yeah, we're just
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 7: gonna keep cranking on stuff, you know, into the season and.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 8: All the way throughout.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: Soustin's in charge of all this. It's a great job.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: I should just tell people the customizable rankings. You download
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: an Excel spreadsheet and you type in basically how your
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: league scores it, whether it's full PPR, half PPR, no PPR,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: just all the way through. I did that. My son
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: and I were watching the first episode of Hard Knocks. Afterwards,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: he already has he's got his draft order for one
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: of his two leagues, and he's doing he's already doing
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: stuff on as a sleeper. I think that's the one
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: they use and he was doing like a mock draft.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: I'm getting all fired up, so I downloaded the customizable rankings.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: That thing is one of the best tools out there
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: if you're a fantasy football But if you don't subscribe
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: to the Athletic, I would urge you to anyway. But
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: if nothing else, do it for the next couple of months,
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: because you guys have it all there, so go check
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: it out. And if you go to the Athletic, this
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: is how big fantasy football is. And you talked about
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: what a decade and a half we've been doing this,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: maybe you can speak how much it's grown because I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: went and you were working for other places before he
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: went to the Athletic. I go to the front page
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: of the Athletic and fantasy football is one of the
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: main taps that that tells me how important this is.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 7: It's it's I mean just and even in the last
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 7: two years, like I know, from the Athletic and we
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 7: got New York Times as our you know, as our
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 7: parent company, and we have we have we are in
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 7: the conversation prominently all the way up to all the
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 7: way up the line to the leaders at the at
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 7: the New York Times. They have they see the how
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 7: big this industry is, and they've they've really kind of
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 7: earnestly made it a priority that you know, we are
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 7: we're going to be, you know, hands on with fantasy
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 7: and figuring out ways to get bigger and bigger and
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 7: do more and more.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: And it's great.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 7: You know, that's what you want and if you're in
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 7: a person in a position like myself, but yeah, uh,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 7: the industry just keeps going and you know, it's it's
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 7: something that everybody recognizes, like, hey, this is you know,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 7: we'd be stupid not to put more resources behind this.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: Love it all, right, Bradon Funds brought you to by
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: Georgetown Bering. Let's get to some general things, and this
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: is where I want folks to listen up different types
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: of leagues. So there's the PPR league, there's a half
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: point PPR, and there's non PPR. So how different when
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: you're doing rankings. I'm looking at Jake's top three hundred
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: right now. This is half point scoring for for half
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: point scoring. But let's just talk in general terms. Is
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: b Jon Robinson pretty much the consus number one pick,
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: no matter what the scoring or how would that work,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: Where does where does he rank? Is he our number
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: one guy this year?
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 7: Well, I think you could. I think the deal is
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 7: it's almost split now because I think half the half
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 7: the industry likes Jami or Gibbs just as much, if
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 7: not more. With David Montgomery out and it's looking like
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 7: Isaiah but check this coming in, it's not going to
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 7: be a one for one volume replacement with Montgomery. The
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 7: expectation is that Gibbs is going to have his biggest
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 7: workload ever and he's one of the biggest breakaway talents
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 7: in the league. So I think it's a good argument
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 7: between those two, you know, and then you got the
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 7: three receivers that you could argue as number one, Puka,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: Jamar Chase and JSN and I you know, there's really
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: how what kind of a roster you have should decide
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 7: if you should go running back first round or wide
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 7: receiver first round. If you can start four wide receivers,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 7: that means three wide receiver spots and you can throw
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 7: one in a flex, you probably want to go wide
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 7: receiver in the first round. And if it's two wide
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 7: receivers and one flex and so you can only go
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 7: up to three wide receivers, and you probably want to
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: go running back. But I think with the very number
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 7: one spot, even no matter what format, you can validate
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 7: Gibbs and Robinson, either one of them, whatever your flavor is,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: as the number one.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: Overall, pick who do you prefer of those two?
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 7: I kind of am going Jamior Gibbs just because they
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 7: sound like they're going to be a.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 8: Little less three wide receiver, a little.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 7: More a little more tight end heavy, but also a
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: little bit more like like I said, this is it
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 7: sounds very legit that Jamiir Gibbs is going to have
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 7: a level up in his volume. And you know, for
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 7: someone who has the kind of yards per touch he gets,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 7: it's elite.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 8: The more volume just you.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 7: Know, it was already among the leaders last you give
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 7: more volume, you're gonna like that a little bit more.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 7: And you know, honestly, that offense is a little bit
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 7: more stable than Atlanta, who has Tua and Tennix and
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 7: who knows what the what the potential quarterback shuffle could
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 7: do to one offense. So I think there's just a
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 7: little slightly more headwind with Beijon than Gibbs, but it's
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 7: it's very close, all.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: Right, what's the drop off between Bijeon, Jamiir Gibbs and
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing the next tier of running backs Christian McCaffrey
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor's what's the drop How big a drop? Because
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: we've talked about this before with a number of positions,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: how big a drop is that if you don't get
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Bejeon or Jamiir, do you try to go get a
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: McCaffrey or Jonathan Taylor right away or do you maybe
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: stick with that receiver run?
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you go to the receiver run. I
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 7: think the deal is is that most most times you're
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 7: going to be able.
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 8: To like you know you can.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 7: I mean, you're if you're sitting at number three, four
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 7: or five and Gibbs.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: And Robinson go I'd probably lean receiver next.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 7: But then then at that point after this top five
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 7: Taylor and McCaffrey completely valid. Honestly, I've seen McCaffrey go three,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 7: I've seen Taylor go in the top five. If you
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 7: can guarantee Daniel Jones is going to play most of
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 7: the season, Jonathan Taylor's going to play most of the season.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 7: You know, you could argue Jonathan Taylor number one, the
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 7: same goes for McCaffrey if you can, if you can
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 7: guarantee McCaffrey's health, that's just why they're dropped down because
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 7: there's a little bit more worry about the health of
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 7: those two and the health of their quarterbacks, to be honest,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 7: So a little bit more injury concern is why they
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 7: fall a little bit. But they're upside if everything goes well.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 7: Is as good as anybody's we'll.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: Get I want to get more into McCaffrey and running
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: We'll do running backs next week because I think there's
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: some numbers that kind of are a little scary for
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: him coming off a year like he had last year
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: and then this year. There's the history isn't great for
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: those back to back big years in terms of staying healthy.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: Let's let's talk about the wide receivers and we'll just
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: go one, two, three, and I'm going to include four
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: and five Nikua Jamar Chase JSN and then Amal Ross,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Saint Brown, Justin Jefferson. Those are effectively, seemingly according to
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Jake and you guys are the athletic the top five
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: wide receivers. How closely bunched are those five guys.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 7: I think you could say that the first three are
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 7: very closely bunched, and honestly, aman Ross Saint Brown is
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 7: I mean you almost put him there because you love
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 7: in the first round to have someone that has the
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 7: floor of him. It's like a hundred catches, twelve hundred
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 7: yards plus.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 8: And you know, eight to ten touchdowns.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 7: I think it's been three or four straight years, like
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 7: in JSN hasn't had a season. You know, I had
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 7: one season of that level and that was last year.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 7: And so you know, if defenses come in and they're
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 7: and they're just their sole focus is JSN, Like does
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 7: he have the same floor that aman Ross Saint Brown
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 7: has that you know he's going.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 8: To get So you could argue, you can start to
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 8: argue that a little bit.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 7: So I think Amona Ross Saint Brown's right there. Justin Jeffson,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 7: I actually have down farther. I just think it's funny
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 7: that that Kyler Murray is the reason people are taking
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 7: someone who finished outside the top twenty hit wide receiver
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 7: last year and just suddenly vaulting him right back into
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 7: the top five. To me, I feel like Kyler Murray
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 7: is is sort of like Russell Wilson going to the
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 7: Denver Broncos.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 8: I mean they let him, they let him, they have
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 8: no problem.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 7: I mean just the on schedule throws and the timing
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 7: throws across the middle. And when Justin Jefferson can use
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 7: the whole field, I don't think Kyler Murray can use
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 7: the whole field.
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 8: That's the problem.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: So I still I still have Jefferson up a bit,
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 7: but he's my wide receiver eighth this year I have
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 7: Ceedee Lamb and Drake London ahead of him.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say much much like when Russ
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: went to Denver, Kyler Murray going to to UH to Minnesota,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: you know the common scene, neither one of them got
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: any taller, right Like, I don't think either one.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 7: Of them, which you know, you could argue their head
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 7: grew a little bit, but they didn't get any taller.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: No, they got they they did not have those issues.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: It is Renifs by Georgetown Brewing. Is it safe to say,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: because when you brought about JSN, I was gonna ask
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: you about with and JSN Pooko from pook in this
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: mix too. You brought up Juster Jefferson. There's a cool
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: question about the quarterback play with Pooka. There's a question
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: about him being a dummy and a weirdo and a
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: freak apparently likes to bite people or women, and then
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: JSN it's a one hit. Wonder are there red flags
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: for all those guys.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 7: I think with Pookah, I guess the I guess the
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 7: off the field stuff you worry about a little bit,
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 7: but you know, once the season starts, they're they're not
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 7: off the field a whole lot to where they can
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 7: get in a lot of trouble, So you don't really
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 7: worry about it more in the last couple of months
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 7: than the couple months ahead. I think with him, you
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 7: worry just that he's always always seems to be banged up,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 7: and there's always a questionable tag as is he playing,
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 7: And you know, it's kind of a little bit weary
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 7: with that.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 8: If you if you're rostering him.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 7: I think with JSN, my thing is he's he's always
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 7: been good, you know, and Gino. You know, I just
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 7: think that this offense has sort of grown. He's he's
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 7: taken steps each year, so this is sort of seems
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 7: like a natural progression. I think Sam Darnell, so it's
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 7: a great ball. I just think, you know, you can
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: say you know, is there defense going to be so
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 7: good and it is the other defense is going to
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 7: be so focused on him that this is a little
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 7: bit more of a conservative system. And maybe the ceiling
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 7: isn't quite as high as it was last year. I
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 7: still think he's going to be great. I just I
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 7: can see him coming down a little bit. And that's
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 7: probably you know why I have him behind Nikoua and
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 7: Jamar Chase.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: It is Brandon Funza joining us. This is our annual
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 2: we do this the first week every year where you
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 2: tell people be careful when you draft a quarterback. I'll
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: let you go from there.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's funny because I mean Drake May.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 7: And Matt Stafford I think they were two and three
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 7: at the quarterback position.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 8: You could get them very late.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 7: You can still get Stafford outside the top twelve quarterbacks,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 7: which blows my mind.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 8: Was he had forty seven was forty seven touchdown passes
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 8: I think last year?
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he could regress by ten touchdown passes
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 7: and probably still.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 8: Lead the league in touchdown passes. I mean this is
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 8: so it's just that the.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 7: Difference between what you might get with the first couple
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 7: of quarterbacks and what you're gonna get with the quarterback
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 7: number twelve is not so great that you want to
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 7: go hunting for that in the early rounds at the
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 7: you know, and then limiting yourself to the kind of
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 7: running back and wide receiver.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 8: Power you can get at that spot.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 7: So Josh Allen is a little bit of an exception.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 7: He's been like the number one guy the last three years,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 7: and so he deserves to go as the first quarterback
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: in a regular one quarterback league. That could be the
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 7: third round before I would think about doing that, all right.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: For those of us that have a super flex league,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: when do you take a quarterback?
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: Well, I had the number one pick in the super
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 7: Flex League a couple of weeks ago Jake Seely's Flex
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 7: League draft out in New York, and I took Josh
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 7: Allen just because there is a decent gap in my
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 7: mind between the number one quarterback and who could be
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 7: number two. I mean, you can say it's Lamar Jackson,
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 7: but he's you know, his battled injuries. There's a coaching
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 7: turnover there. Jayden Daniels, same deal. I just feel like
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 7: if you're going to be in a super flex, you're
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 7: going to have to take a quarterback in the first
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 7: round most likely, unless you you see early run and
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 7: you're sitting towards the back end, and then you can
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 7: you know, take a different position and on the comeback
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 7: you take a quarterback.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 8: But they move up, you know, they move up and
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 8: become you just think of.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 7: Them like wide receivers and running backs at that point
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 7: in a super flex league.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: Tell people that I'll see I love this. I love
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: the super flex. For people that are sitting around like,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: what the hell is? Tell people the super flex is.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, the super flex allows you in your flex
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 7: spot to add quarterback in addition to all the other
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 7: skill positions. So you'd be crazy not to try to
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 7: take advantage of getting a quarterback into your flex spot
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 7: because by and large, starting quarterbacks just you know, because
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 7: of the scoring system, score more than wide receivers and running.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 8: Backs on average.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's there's exceptions, but week in and week out,
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 7: you're you're gonna do better with a you know, a
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 7: top twenty quarterback as your second as your second quarterback
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 7: in your lineup, in your super flex spot. So that's
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 7: why people go crazy to try to get those get
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 7: those quarterbacks. All the starting quarterbacks out of the way,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 7: so you're not looking at like Fernando Mendoz or Kirk
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 7: Cousins as your second quarterback in that flex spot. You
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 7: want to lock it down with somebody you know who's
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 7: going to be there for seventeen games unless they, you know,
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 7: get hobbled, but otherwise you know they're going to be there.
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, he is the bane of some First of all,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: I love the super flex. I think it's a blast.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: I think just as higher scoring. Just to reiterate your
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: stuff on Lamar Jackson, the team that finished last last
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: year and the guys did a show for him. That
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: was my quarterback was Lamia Jackson.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 8: Last sear that did resonate with me. I do remember that.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 8: I seem to recall that for sure.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: He was good the first week. I'm just looking back
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 2: last year was good. The first week after that it
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: was it was a disaster. All right, Next week we'll
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: kind of go position by specific position. Let's go let's
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: go running backs and quarterbacks next week. If we can,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: we'll see how far we get through that. Maybe just
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 2: be the running backs. Then we'll kind of go from there.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: Then wide receivers and keep getting people prepped. In the meantime,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: we talked about this to start. Let's do it again
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: for folks that are getting ready for their draft, who
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: need to prep, who just can't get enough of this stuff,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: and there's a zillion of you out there. Tell folks
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: we got just all the stuff you got going off
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: the athletic.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll just go to the athletic, the fancy football side.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 7: We got the rankings up, constantly updated. I mentioned the
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 7: new fancy draft assistant, a bunch of new personalities they're riding,
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 7: held in high esteem in the industry. I think you
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 7: like them across the board, analytics types, you know, just
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 7: some good information out there. So we got a ton
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 7: of stuff coming that's already out and a bunch of
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 7: stuff that's coming in the next few weeks as well.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: Just jump on that. Those those Xcel spreadsheets are fun
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: to download, and just you do your rankings along those ways.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: All right, it's Bradon fussed. We'll talk to you next week,
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: my friend. Thank you.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 8: All right, sounds good.

• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: We're not supposed to do play by play there again.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: I think I could do that. I think it. Drew
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: Lock scrambled for three yards, Yeah, Chazz, so rot comes
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: in and makes the tackle with two hands. Is okay.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think Aye's gonna get up set about that. Nope, nope,
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 2: could be wrong, could be could be wrong, never could
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: be wrong. Along the way, check the text four nine
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 2: four or five one on that is to come a
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: dodge text line. Uh, let's see my annual athletics fee
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 2: is paid off by the draft kittalog it is. I mean,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you I was joking about that earlier. That's
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 2: that's why you do it. Uh that that's why you
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: do it. Like you just you get that thing done.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: You get the doubt. You have the athletic for a
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 2: couple of bucks a month, and because like you can
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: go their services that you can you know, get cheap
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 2: that you're paying five six eight bucks more. Maybe well
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: the athletic you get everything and it's like way less money.
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 2: So uh that's that to me? Is well worked with cash,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: I would get it done along the way. Watch out Ian.
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 2: Jake Bobo has a future in broadcasting.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: I think he does.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 2: If you want. There's a couple of guys like that.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: Just like tyle Cott has a future in coaching, Jake
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: Bobo's a career or future in broadcasting for sure.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: Still, it's crazy Jake Bobo got paid. I could good
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: for him. If good for him, Yeah, he's a fun
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: guy to talk to.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 5: He got paid.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: I love all that. Let's see. Uh, Julio stinks refused
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: to win, says the two six god. I was telling
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: soft to a second ago. They win today the manners
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: you want to nothing. People just people just don't like
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: this team. I don't know. It's just weird, like borderline
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: rooting against these guys, right, but only get against these guys.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 3: It's it's crazy how much this I feel like there's
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 3: almost this feeling with a Mariner fans that at least
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 3: with a portion of them that almost are rooting for
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: carnage at this point.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: I think so too, I think so too.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna that stat you had earlier about the batting average.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: I'll have you saved that for software.
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, speaking of if we do have a one talk
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: back today.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: I'll get held on to it for seconds. I think
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: if that's what you're telling me, all right, Jake Bobo
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 2: is the best? Can you get a segment once a
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: week with all that without all starting? They don't like,
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: we would love to have a weekly segment with a
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: seahawk guest. That won't happen. Now you're gonna say, Ian,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: why won't that happen? Well, I'm gonna take you back
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: to about two thousand and eight. I think it was
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, somewhere in there. I think it's
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. Actually, Dave Softy mall are ruined
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: that for everybody. Of course he did uh specifically he didn't.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: But a guy that's now like a really big deal
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: on network television, Nate Burlison was doing the weekly show
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: with Softy, and then one week.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 5: It all went.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: All went downhill, down uphill off over here. Friends. Yeah,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 2: Nate came in and he brought a couple of friends
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: with him, the great Dion Branch. And when I said great,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 2: those were in quotation marks and TJ. Who's Mazanna h
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: and things and things went south? Yeah, like fast and
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 2: uh yeah. Ever since then, no no more weeklies.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 13: So thanks Nate, thanks TJ, Thanks Softy, Thanks Dion, and
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 13: thanks Softing. Is that the funny thing was like Softy
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 13: like to his crest, like he just was there and
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 13: all of a sudden, those guys just took over the show,
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 13: like three fifty one Ellie at our old studios and
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 13: I'm driving home and I was coming back from doing
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 13: a Blazer broadcast that that night before. I'm driving up
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 13: the freeway and Hugh Millan calls.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: Me and go, are you listening to this? No, he
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: didn't call me something. I think Kevin called me.

• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: Yep, that was branch. Yeah, that was the on branch Yeah,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 2: the on branch Ian furness. What what do you say?
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: Do you have it again?
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 3: It's just it's all down here from here it goes.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it was all south. Yeah. I was doing
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 2: TV with Fox. I just started doing TV with Fox,
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: and I was with Hugh milling and and we Didish
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: post Game show and we're critical of Deon. I don't know,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: we probably had like eight drop balls or something and
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: they went south. So no, no Jake Boba weekly. Sorry, guys,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: we'll have them on again. Oh, well, we'll have We'll
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: have him on during uh during the season. I didn't
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: get to your class. I used some questions here for fun,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 2: so we'll do questions on the text line for him
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: next week. All right, my god, it is about the Miracers.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 7: This this, this.
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: Summarizes how I think way too many people feel about
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: the Oh yes, my god. Even when they were winning,
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: they were boring and a not a fun team to watch. Suckfest.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 2: I mean that people just don't like them. Yeah, twenty
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: nine and says well at the plate guessing and guessing incorrectly. Yeah,
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 2: we talked about Alveno earlier. It's a guessing game sometimes
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: up there, and and it's weird that now listen, he's
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 2: a catcher. He's got a pretty good eye. But man,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: he looked lost to day.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, like to he looked lost all season.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: Well he has. But you're sitting there, you're facing a
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 2: right hander in the last in the eighth inning and
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: or the top of the ninth, I should say, and
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: you got that short porch and right field, which he
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: should like he could with one finger last year, could
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: have hit one out. Yes, and he's just he looked lost.
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 2: He looked at a couple of strikes. You're like, what
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 2: are you doing? Yeah, it's just and as like you
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 2: know said, it's just his approach is just awful right
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 2: now and it has to be is he said, what
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: change with Boston? That was interesting, but you know said,
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: what changed with Boston's offense? They got more aggressive? Aggressive
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 2: in the zone, in the zone. Yeah, and like you
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: can live, as No said, you can live with a
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: guy swinging and missing at balls that are not in
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 2: that are in the zone, like, you can live with that.
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 2: It's the ones outside the zone that you're just lost
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: at that you can't.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he has been doing a lot of that too.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: It's not just that he's not swinging it pitches in
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 3: his zone. He is swinging it pitches outside the zone.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 3: So that stat that Ian or you know, was mentioning,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 3: I want to know because he mentioned what it was
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: for the Mariners as a team, I want to know
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 3: what it is for cal Rawley specifically.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: I don't I never know if you're with me anymore
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: because you like to go ditch me for the morning show.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 2: If you're with me next when next Thursday, you can
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: have you make.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: Sure you ask okay, I will okay, all right, I
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 3: don't know well, and I like your question about approach
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 3: because a lot of people get triggered by that word,
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 3: right well, and it's it's kind of like control and command,
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 3: right right, right, they're different, they're different things, and you know,
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 3: and I think sometimes you know, quote unquote baseball guy
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 3: kind of throws things around and trouble won't always understand.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the approach is the approach right now is
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 2: not good. I'll do this next week. Explain to Funston
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: why Sam is ranked twenty fourth when Jays ranked very high.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 2: Seems like a Seelman's sketching TD. Somebody throws them. I
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: know it's one to one, the twenty fourth. Yeah, Donold's
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: not highly ranked.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 3: Not in fantasy because he's never a volume.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: Guy, right well, four thousand yards last year. Yeah, I
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: also had a lot of picks. Actually, that's probably it. Yeah,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 2: that's probably it because most most leagues you lose in
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 2: that regard, right right right. Keith Miller still goose freaking
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 2: by all those years during that open. Yeah, it's it's
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: it's crazy, isn't it?
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: It is, It is really crazy. Let's see, I got
• 1:47:49

  Speaker 7: Hmmm?
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: So oft the whin sh I implement refuse to talk?
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: Could do it mathematically eliminated? Or when it's obvious that
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 2: they are not going to make it already past that point? No,
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: they're still in it, man, dude, they're still in you

• 1:51:12
  Speaker 3: Service when they were sixty four and sixty four. Now,
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 3: because they won today, if they go seven and oh
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 3: in the next seven games, they will be sixty four
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 3: and sixty five. That's if they go seven and oh

  Speaker 12: Which Scott's Service had been fired. If you had gone
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 12: to Game seven of the Alcs the year.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 3: Before, probably not. You're you are correct that assumption. But
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 3: it's just it's a representation of where the Mariners are
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 3: at in the season.

• 1:55:20
  Speaker 2: En the Hall of Fame. Fred Couples, Nate Burlison, and
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 2: not Ian Forness.
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 5: Oh there you go. Okay, Well, who would be number
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 5: three on that list oday? Mitch Johnson.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 12: Maybe Mitch is on there if he had won the
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 12: NBA championship, right, well, you know instead of falling apart,
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 12: one of.
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 2: The best athletes here, I was unfortunately late Demetris to vote.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 12: That's right, that's right, great player, linebacker, right linebacker, Notre Dame.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's a lot you look on that list.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of guys up there and you don't
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 2: see there. Yeah, Paula Bek Carroll was okay, yeah, pretty good. Yeah,
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: I think they put I mean I think I should
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 2: be on the list before him, an absolute Miles Gaskin, never.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 5: Heard of him, and your face should be on to
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 5: be on that wall.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you very much.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 5: You know who that is.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 12: By the way, Scott Wolf talking about Petros not being
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 12: on the broadcasting wall at USC. They have this big
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 12: giant wall of all these broadcasters that went to USC,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 12: and he's not on it, like sports broadcasters, not soap
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 12: opera news anchors or no, it's sportscasters. It's in the
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 12: stadium and he's he's too ugly to be on that wall.
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 5: Well, that's why he.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 12: Said he had kind of with his own school a
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 12: little bit. I mean, he does look like Quasimotoves, So
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 12: I don't blame him.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: Take that part of up there, Take that part.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 12: They bring in, like, you know, kids for tours and
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 12: they look at that face and they just freakish.
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 2: Is nature is Petro? Is Petros to USC like Nelly
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: is to the meritors.
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 12: Uh oh, it's a great question. So I don't think
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 12: it's that bad. Well, yeah, kind of is. Like I
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 12: think Petros might actually be on less solid footing than
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 12: Nelly is with the mariage.
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: That's pretty hard.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: That's pretty hard to do.
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 5: They don't like him much down there at the YA.
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: I mean and Troy, like, if you had the top
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: fifty full backs in USC history right right, he'd be
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: fifty one, and there's only forty guys that have played
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: the position when he made it.
• 1:57:15
  Speaker 12: Now he wouldn't make it too critical, doesn't donate enough
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 12: money whatever. I mean, you know the whole thing about
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 12: Dave Valley. And there's I don't know if you understand this.
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 12: You know, Joel Paniero and Dave Valley were on the
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 12: Top fifty list, right. Joel Panierro is a guy that
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 12: we used to refer to as Joel Pinata, Yeah, because
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 12: he would get beat so badly that I would expect
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 12: like candy and toys to fall out of his pocket.
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 12: And then Dave Valley was so bad that a sports bar,
• 1:57:38
