  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Reynolds Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJR
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: FM Sports Headlines.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Happy Monday. Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrood,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Coors Light, Choose Chill. Seahawks cut 91 players down to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: 53 yesterday. Setting the initial roster for the regular season,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: they traded to the Chargers to get an undrafted rookie cornerback,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Avery Smith. I'll tell you why they did that. He
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: goes right on the 53 man. He plays inside nickel.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: He plays outside corner. Montori Foster, our guy. We had him, what,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: back in July?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Dude, where we were like, huh, okay, great.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Before Hard Knocks got on.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: And then we found out everything about him before Hard Knocks.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And then he was going nuts and playing so well,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: he was sweating it Friday night in Kansas City. You're
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: going to hear from him later. He made the team,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but he thought Friday night in Kansas City. When I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: talked to him at Arrowhead Stadium, he was sweating it, man.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: He didn't think he was going to make the team.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at his position. It makes sense that
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: he would sweat.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Trevon Diggs did not make the team. He got cut
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: after he starred in the game Friday night. There's way
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: more to it than meets the eye there. We'll talk
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: about that. We'll talk about Cody White. Kind of same
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: situation as Diggs. He got cut. Patrick O'Connell, fourth year
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: out of Montana. He made his first team. roster for
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: an NFL team coming out of the preseason. He's the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: backup middle linebacker to Ernest Jones. Tons more to talk
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: about on the Seahawks roster, why they did what they did.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: A little roster gymnastics by the GM. We'll explain that
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: as well. Seahawks finally signed Terryon Arnold on Saturday, like
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: we said they would, the day after the final preseason game.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Then the free agent cornerback they had an agreement to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: sign two weeks ago yesterday got put on the NFL's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: commissioner list, which we also knew was going to happen.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks knew it, too, because of the eight felony
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: charges he's facing in Florida. He can be in the building.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: He can do meetings and training. He can't practice or play.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk way more about this, too. Aaron
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Donald did exactly what we said he would do.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I guess it's kind of.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Sure did.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I'll just skip all the training camp. We'll skip all
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the preseason games. Oh, it's over? I'll sign now, please.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: One year, $ 20 million with the Rams. Rams open the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: season September 10th to the 49ers in Australia. That's, of course,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the day after the Seahawks opened against the Patriots September
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: 9th at Lumen Field. The Giants kept Odell Beckham Jr., 33-year-old.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: It is like fifth reincarnation of an NFL career. Titans
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: cut former quarterback, starting quarterback Will Levis. Four teams kept
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: four quarterbacks, which is three more than did that last season.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The Steelers, the Vikings, the Browns, and the Eagles all
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: kept four quarterbacks. Of course, the Seahawks kept three. Jalen
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Milrow really, really improved defensively. That was a good game
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: for him. He was strong. We're going to talk about that, too.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: But a couple throws in particular were like, okay, that's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: what they wanted to see. Decisive play from Jalen Milrow.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: He's the third quarterback on the active roster again, like
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: he was last season. Mariners. Should we just move on?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Are they sunk? They're sinking. Are they sunk?
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: That's a really good question.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Just swept out of Toronto. Lost all three games. Saturday's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: fourth three loss after leading 3-0 in the sixth. Edward Bazzardo. Leadership.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: This is another example of talent without leadership. Dan Wilson
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: should have walked out on the field as soon as
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Bazzardo did not even turn to tag the guy sliding
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: home right under his feet and say, give me the ball.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You're done. Just like he showed up when Julio Rodriguez
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: threw a live ball into the stands a couple weeks
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: ago and did it again a few days later. Give
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: me the ball. You're done.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: No ass kickers.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You're done.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: No ass kickers.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: You're done. That's fine. You're done. They don't have that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: One hit yesterday against 96-year-old Max Serger, who was throwing
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: 92 miles an hour. One hit. 15 strikeouts yesterday in
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: one hit. That's how urgency this team is showing. Talent
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: without leadership. M's are a season-low tying nine games under. 500,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: five games out in the ALS, five games out in
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the wild-card spot, 25 games remaining. Now they head to Boston,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: three games against the Red Sox. George Kirby starts today, 345,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: first pitch at Fenway Park. And the Red Sox have
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a 6-6 left-hander who throws 99 miles an hour going.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: How do you think that's going to go?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I do. Sounders tied 2-2 with Chicago.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: New guy Dejan Jolovic scored both goals, including in the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: first one, 12 minutes into the match, 12 minutes into
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: his Sounders career. But then Seattle gave one away late
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: for the equalizer for Chicago. The Sparks, Los Angeles beat
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the Storm 90-74. Stormer, 8-32 in a WNBA. Curacao beat
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Nevada to win the Little League World Series. Novak Djokovic,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: 39 years old. You know him. Tennis legend.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: He lost in the first round of a Grand Slam
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: tennis tournament for the first time in 20 years last
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: night at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows on Jessamyn's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Long Island.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: It's just so funny. Flushing Meadows. It sounds so gorgeous.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: That place is not.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: That's the end of the runway at LaGuardia Airport. Yes, exactly.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Flushing Meadows.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He was throwing up last night. His body's betraying him.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: He's 39. body just gave out in a four and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a half hour match. Now on with the Monday pack show.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Happy Monday. Greg Bell, Justin McIntyre. Justin's dancing now. I've
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: got to go and dance.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: How can you not dance to this song?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Mark Morrison in the studio. I get to see that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: now because I'm in the studio. I'm back from Kansas City.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks to Mike Benton for pitching on Friday. I heard
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it was a good time.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: It's always a raucous time with the captain.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Captain Mike. Mike. Thanks, Mike.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Kansas City will tell you what I saw that it
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: pertains to the regular season in this final preseason game.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Jessamyn. Good morning. How are you? I'm well. Good.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: You seem a little sprightly from what I expected this morning.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you eat some bad lettuce and you expel all
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the demons throughout the weekend.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling pretty good right now.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Stay away from Taco Bell.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: It wasn't Taco Bell.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: We don't have a sponsorship for Taco Bell.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It was Trader Joe's.
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: No, we do not.
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: Oh, Trader Joe's.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: No, it was just like, you know, there's a thing.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: That happens with the food these days, and I've been
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: eating a lot of produce lately.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Blueberries and lettuce. I cannot find the.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Demon, but whatever demon existed is outside of me now.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:13
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't even lose any weight. It sucks.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You checked. We'll talk about the Seahawks roster. I mean,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: all the consternation, oh, what will they do, and projections
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and all of that, and then it happens, and you're like, oh, okay.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: It's a little anticlimactic, but there were some interesting— Inside
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: ball stuff that went on yesterday, including with Trevon Diggs.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And I know there are people looking at it and going,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, they cut Diggs? They did, but they didn't.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to explain that. It's about Mike McDonald's culture.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: If he didn't have this culture as strong as it is,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the brotherhood and togetherness that impact players feel it as
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: soon as they get here. Diggs talked about it last
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: week when he got here. That's what they're banking on
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: when they do these veteran moves of cutting veterans and saying,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: will you please come sign with a practice squad? Most teams,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the veterans would be like, eh, I'm going to go
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: shop myself somewhere else and try to get on an
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: active roster. In Seattle, what you got going for you
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is you're the defending Super Bowl champions.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It's a big selling point.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: With the number one defense in the league and a
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: young mastermind defensive coach. And two, the culture. The togetherness
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that the players sell these new guys on, the veterans
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: come in and they're like, whoa, this is how you roll?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I'd love to be a part of this. And that's
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: why Trevon Diggs is saying, okay, I'm an unrestricted free agent,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: free to sign with any team, but I'm not going to.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to come back to your practice squad and
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: get ramped up and acclimated for the next couple weeks
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and see if I can play in the opener or
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the next game or two after that. He hasn't played,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of course, in seven months. 1025, you're going to hear
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: my chat Friday night in the locker room in Kansas City.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: With Montori Foster Jr., the Ohio substitute high school teacher
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and real estate agent who was sweating it. He did
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: not like how his game went. He had one catch
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and two targets. He thought he should have run under
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a long ball from Milrow in the first half. He
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: was double teamed, but the pass was about five yards
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: past him. I'm like, no, he thought he should have
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: caught that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Which is great.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Exactly. He wanted a chance on kickoff return, but the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: kickoff went to the other side, to Emmanuel Henderson Jr.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: 's side, and actually went out of bounds right before
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the pylon. So he didn't get a chance at that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: They tried him at punt return, which they hadn't tried before,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and he didn't get an opportunity there either. He was unsatisfied,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: dissatisfied for sure. And I said, you're going to be
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: all right. I think you're making the team. And he's
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: going to be like, don't say that. He's putting his
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: hands up. No, no, no, don't say that. So he
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was sweating all weekend, but he did make the team
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: as he deserved to for the standout.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited about that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Honestly, like when you sat down with him and if
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: you want to hear that interview, it is up on
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: the Greg Bell show podcast page, but it was so early.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: And we didn't know much about him. And you did
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: your research. You found out about him. And he told
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: us about him. And so this is way before 87
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: parents in the stands on hard knocks that you got
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: to sit down with him.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And you wrote a story about it, too.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: In the News Tribune, he went to the high school
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: that my nephews have gone to, Lakewood St. Edwards High School.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Lakewood is the town just west of downtown Cleveland along
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Ohio Route 2 along Lake Erie. He's from the east
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: side of Cleveland, actually near JFK High School. I played
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: against Cleveland JFK when I was in Steubenville High School
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: in Ohio. So I'm very familiar with where he's from
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and his background and where he went and where he
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: taught last year. And then he told me this great
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: story about how he needed someone to throw with, to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: throw to him so he could run routes and stay
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: sharp last year. The Seahawks cut him in August of
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: last season because he had a hamstring injury. It wasn't
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that bad. They cut him, waved, injured, and he was done.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He didn't play for anybody last year. He was substitute teaching,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: getting his real estate license, thinking it was time to
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: move on to his life's work. And he bumped into,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: he called some random guy at a gym, 24 hour
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: fitness type of gym who said, Hey, I heard you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: were in an NFL training camp. You're a wide receiver.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I can throw passes to you. And Foster's like, who
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: are you? And it turns out this guy was a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: high school quarterback on the East side of Cleveland 10
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: He could still throw though.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: And so that's what they did out in the cold
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: inside in a 24 hour fitness gym. They threw all during–
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: while the Seahawks were going to the Super Bowl and
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: marching to the NFC West title, Montori Foster was throwing
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and catching passes from some random guy in a gym
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in Cleveland. And he stayed sharp enough to become the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: practice squad call-up– wait, we didn't get called up. He
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: got signed to the practice squad at the end of December.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: He was on the practice squad through the Super Bowl.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: He was on the sideline in a hoodie in Santa
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Clara February 8th when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He has a Super Bowl ring. And he got invited
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: back to be on the offseason, preseason roster. And he
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: just kicked ass.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Greg, does it not represent the way the Seahawks do things?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it does.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: More than anything, it is. And also, you have to shine.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: You have to do it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it seizes your opportunity, for sure.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Right, but it just.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I just love this team so much. And I'm not
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a 12.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: I did not grow up a Seahawks fan. I have
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: gravitated towards them since I moved out here and I work.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I'm in the media just like you.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: But the way they operate is just like a gravitational force.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I love the way they do things. I love the
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: way they do things.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: And this is just the perfect example of how something
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: great can come out of someone great.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: When you hear him at 1025, it's also an example
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of how the stress adds up on these guys on
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: cut weekend. 1,100 players yesterday got either cut or put
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: on injured list and were told, nah, you're not in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: our plans. 1,100 around the league, many of whom will
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: not be picked up. Some will, but not a lot.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Last year, in fact, only 26 players league-wide got picked
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: up on the waiver pickups.
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Out of 32 teams. That's pretty low. Not even one
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: per team.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So all this concern about, well, he cleared waivers, almost
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: always do. That's interesting to me. The waiver period ends
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: at 1 o'clock today, after which time Trevon Diggs can
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: sign as an unrestricted free agent to the Seahawks practice squad.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Cody White can do the same thing. Noah Igbenogany can
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: do the same thing. I think that's going to happen.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about which veterans they cut yesterday. I like Noah.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Noah talked to us, too, and Jessamyn was a fan.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm the easiest fan to get that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: 10.45, we're going to hear from Mike McDonald, how he
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: thinks of Jalen Milrow after his performance. Man, the Seahawks
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: feel a lot better about him than they did a
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: week ago. And you're going to hear McDonald describe, when
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I ask him, what makes you think the starters are
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: ready because you haven't seen them play in a game
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: since the Super Bowl in February? He answered that question.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: You'll hear that at 10.45. 11 o'clock, you're going to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: hear from John Schneider. The general manager who had a
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: press conference with the beat writers yesterday, it's like a
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: meteor strike or a blue moon. It happens two or
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: three times a year.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not on the mic all the time.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: He talks to other people, but he doesn't talk to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: us regularly, and he did yesterday, and we asked him
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: questions about Terryon Arnold. You'll hear why he signed Arnold,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: but more than that, you'll hear about the Seahawk legend
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: who told him to sign Terryon Arnold. Remember the name
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Leon Washington from back in the day?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: My gosh.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: New York Jets?
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: Yes!
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm very well aware.
• 13:22
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Leon Washington is the reason that Tarion Arnold is a
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Seahawk today.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: You'll hear about that at 11 o'clock. 1130, your text
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and talkbacks on the Tacoma Dodge text line, the talkbacks
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app or website 933KJR. com. She loves Jessamyn.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Give me the voices. I'm not so lonely today because
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: you're in studio. So that helps a little bit. But
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I just love putting your voices on the show.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: The surprise of yesterday was for sure Trevon Diggs getting
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: cut because I think he won a job on Friday night.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Now the question is, when will he be ready to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: fill that job? When I asked Mike McDonald, is it
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: viable that Diggs can play in week one? He said, yeah, viable.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Interception on the only pass thrown to him. The veterans
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: running all the way down the side, very conspicuously running
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: down the sidelines onto the field. Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: into the end zone. Diggs said he, oh yeah, he
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: noticed that. He felt right at home. First tackle, first
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: play of the game. This is when I knew Diggs
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: knew this was a tryout. He knew it anyway, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: he played like it was. Very first play of the game.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Did you, I don't know if you watched the game.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I did. The very first defensive play of the game.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: It was a dive play up the middle by the Chiefs.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You know who was in on the tackle? Trevon Diggs
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: from right cornerback ran from outside the numbers. I mean, sprinted.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: This is a seventh-year veteran going to turn 29 next month, 28,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: who's been an all-pro, was sprinting into a dive play
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to make a tackle in the first play. And I said, whoa,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Diggs has come to play. He's come to win a
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: job tonight. That was the tell. You'll hear from Diggs
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: right now, matter of fact, about that. debut friday night
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and about the veterans running down the sideline this is
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: trevon diggs after friday night's game in kansas city what do.
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: You feel like you got out of the plane tonight
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: i feel like i got the jitters out you know
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: i haven't played in what seven months since i put
• 15:13
  Speaker 11: on equipment and just been flying around and going against
• 15:15
  Speaker 11: someone else so you know i only had two practices
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: so you know just getting out there and you know
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: just getting the natural you know football feeling getting that
• 15:23
  Speaker 11: feeling back you know i feel good How.
• 15:25
  Speaker 14: Much did you feel part of the team when you
• 15:26
  Speaker 14: had all the veteran guys running down the sidelines with
• 15:29
  Speaker 14: you to celebrate?
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it was amazing. Those guys do a great job
• 15:32
  Speaker 11: of just uplifting everybody. No matter who it is, they
• 15:35
  Speaker 11: do a great job of just uplifting, being there for
• 15:39
  Speaker 11: one another and just supporting. You need that, especially on
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: a team. I feel like a brotherhood, so you need that.
• 15:44
  Speaker 11: What do you think.
• 15:45
  Speaker 14: You showed in four practices in one game?
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: Hopefully I showed that I can still play.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to go.
• 15:53
  Speaker 13: I'm ready to play.
• 15:54
  Speaker 11: I'm ready to help this team win.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: He convinced Mike McDonald that he can play. That was
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Trevon Diggs Friday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: after the third preseason game. He took off his shoulder
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: pads in the middle of the second quarter and was
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: just standing with Devin Witherspoon and Julian Love and the veterans.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: That's when I knew he, one, made the team, and two,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: is going to be a part of the starting defense.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Now the question becomes how soon can he get there?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And the fact that it's not a slam dunk that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: he can play week one is the reason that he's
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: not on the 53. They cut him. Why did they
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: cut him yesterday? Well, John Schneider's roster gymnastics are he
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: has an agreement with Diggs that come back and sign
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: with the practice squad as an unrestricted free agent. If
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you have four years or more of a crude service
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, you're not subject to waivers when you're
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: released by a team. Under four years, you have to
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: go through league waivers. That waiver period ends at 1
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: o'clock today. But if you're an unrestricted free agent, you
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: can sign anywhere you want, do anything you want. Practice squad,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: active roster, wherever you want. Diggs is now an unrestricted
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: free agent with an agreement with Snyder to come back
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to the Seahawks practice squad after the waiver period ends
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: at 1 p.m. today. That's what he's going to do
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: unless he gets blown away with some offer. But again,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he could have signed with anybody all offseason until two
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: weeks ago, and he chose the Seahawks. So that's where
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: they're headed with that. They're going to try to do,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I think, the same practice squad roster trick with Cody White.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: These are all the veterans they cut yesterday who are
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: now unrestricted free agents with service time. Cody White, the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: safety D'Anthony Bell, and we mentioned Igbenogany, the running back
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Vellis Jones Jr., safety Rodney Thomas, who used to start
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: with the Colts, who was missed part of training camp
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: with a hand injury he had surgery for. You can
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: carry up to six vested veterans on the practice squad.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: So the two, I don't think Nick Vanette's coming back
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: as much as I like him.
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: I know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Because they chose Nick Kellerup as their fourth tight end. Younger,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: more of an upside.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Happy for Nick, though.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Nick's 33. He's got a good life. Just had a
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: new baby.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked to him a couple weeks ago.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: He's got a White Walker wife.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's a joke because she has the bluest
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: eyes I've ever seen. It's a Game of Thrones reference.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I wasn't being a jerk.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: She's gorgeous. Bobby Hart, the tackle, also someone I don't
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: think is going to come back to the practice squad.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Although they need tackles, he didn't perform very well, the
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: veteran in training camp. Although they could bring him back too.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But only six of those eight can come back, up
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: to six veterans on the practice squad. So that's what
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: they're doing with Diggs. That's what they're doing with Cody White.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: The Anthony Bell had been the backup to Nicky Manwari. Okay,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: let's talk about Nicky Manwari. Yesterday was a step for
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: him toward playing in the opener. He's not there yet,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: but for the first time he was in a jersey
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: and participating at the start of practice. He was warming up,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: doing calisthenics, doing stretching, in with his guys. He looked
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: like he was participating in practice. Now, we're shooed away
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: after the first five minutes. All we get to watch
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: is stretching these days because it's super secret, top secret.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: NFL teams that can't show anything on August 30th.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Double secret probation.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I can get into the Pentagon and get more access.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I have gotten in the Pentagon and gotten more access
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: than I can do an NFL team. But suffice to
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: say that it was another step. He had not put
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: on a jersey yet. He had not been in cleats
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: in a jersey since the arthroscopic surgery last month on
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: his ankle. It's a nod toward him getting closer to playing.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Is he still there? I think it's 50-50 that Eamon
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Worry plays September 9th against the Patriots. But he's not
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: on any injured list to begin the season. And he
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: came off the pup list a couple weeks ago when
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: he passed his physical. So that's where that stands with
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Eamon Worry. The only guy they put on injured designated
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: return is a wide receiver no one's talked about. Irvin
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Charles is a veteran in the NFL. And we asked yesterday,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 asked him, basically saying, why
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: did you put Irvin Charles as one of your two
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: designated-to-return guys on the cut day? And he said he's
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: an extraordinary gunner. And that might explain why they cut
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Emmanuel Henderson Jr., the draft pick, that they drafted four
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: special teams. Four of the eight draft picks got cut.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: That's unusual. The last four of the eight all got cut,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: including the two seventh-round drafts Michael Dansby and Andre Fuller,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Devin Eastern, the nose tackle, their seventh-round pick, and Emmanuel
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Henderson Jr. Henderson, I'm pretty much certain that he's going
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to come back to the practice squad, unless for some
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: reason someone would claim him. The other reason teams don't
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: claim guys is because if you claim them, you have
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to put them on your 53.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: You do, yes.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: So you can't just stow them on the practice squad.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: That's actually a really good point that you should explain
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: to the listeners, too, because I think people forget about that.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Right, and that's why only 26 last year got claimed
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: around the league after cut day. Because you already have
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: 53 guys plus your practice squad guys that you've tied
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: all training camp with, so you know them really well.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: And it's very rare that you're going to sign some
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: dude out of somebody else's program and put him right
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: into one of your 53 active roster spots who you
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: haven't even had in the building yet. Right. Now, the
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Seahawks are doing that with Avery Smith, who they traded
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: with the Chargers for yesterday.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Well, they scouted the hell out of Smith at Toledo
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: because they were signing Max and Hook out of Toledo,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and they drafted Andre Fuller out of Toledo this year.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Hook was a two-year, second-year pro. But they were familiar
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: with Avery Smith's game. John Schneider said that Smith can
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: play inside at nickel and outside at outside corner, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: that he's played in schemes similar to McDonald's scheme, including
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: what the Chargers have been running. He was a standout
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: during the Chargers training camp. A lot of people were
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: surprised in L.A. that he got cut, or was going
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: to get cut, obviously. That's why the Chargers traded him
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: to the Seahawks. It's a sixth-round pick next year. The
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Seahawks gave up for Avery Smith. So that's a lot
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: of ground to cover to explain all this. 49451. What
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: do you want to know about the Seahawks roster, the cuts,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: why they did what they did, any questions you have,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: how waivers work, all of it. Diggs, if anything I
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: didn't cover or you don't understand, put it down on
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the text line and I'll answer it for sure.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: And send in those talkbacks, please.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Because Jessamyn will play that back at 1130.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: It's my favorite thing.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: For sure. Up next, a whiplash weekend from Montori Foster Jr.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: He was not happy when I talked to him. I
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: think he was afraid he was going to get cut
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: when I talked to him Friday night in Kansas City.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: You'll hear from the surprise... of training camp, the star
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: of training camp, who made the Seahawks roster, the Ohio
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: High School substitute teacher, Montori Foster Jr., Seahawks wide receiver,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: next on 93.3 KJRFM. We'll be right.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Back.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Hi, welcome back. Happy Monday to you, Greg Bell and
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn McIntyre on every weekday, 10 a.m. to noon on
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KJRFM before Ian Furness joins us from 12 until 3.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's Molly Whop Monday.
• 22:54
  Speaker 15: Oh, boy.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's going to get whopped. All the Molly's will
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: be whopped.
• 22:59
  Speaker 11: The Mariners.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Again, it's worth reiterating. The Mariners, to me, are a
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: example of talent devoid of leadership. And it has absolutely
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: wrecked their season. The lack of leadership. You just. The
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: stuff that happens on the field just should not ever happen.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: When I covered ball, it's been 20 years now, guys
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: got fined for stuff that the Mariners are pulling off.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think they do that anymore. The players' union
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: has stepped up and screamed about it because, you know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the players don't have enough money to pay a $ 1, 000 fine.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: But the manager should walk out and get the ball
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: from Bazzardo when the guy slides under his leg. I
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: don't care what your philosophy is about pitching. You should
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not pitch a pitcher who's obviously hurt like Hancock was
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: on Friday night. They pitched him, what, three more innings
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: after he was hurt? Now guess what? He's on the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: injured list. I mean, just stuff like that. Dan Wilson
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: is a puppet manager who's handpicked by a president who
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: wants first-time managers who won't have any old say and
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: will just press iPad buttons. I don't know how many
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: times we have to say it. That's the problem with
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. Everyone's saying, well, why didn't Dan Wilson do this?
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: He's not capable of that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: That's not his.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: He was not hired to do anything. It appears he
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: was not hired to do anything independently. It was to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: just push the iPad buttons that they feed down from
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: up high. But it was inexcusable what he did to
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Hancock the other night. It was inexcusable not to take
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the ball from Bazzardo before he even got back to
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the mound after that second guy had crossed the plate
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: under his nose. That was ridiculous. I mean, in the
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: high school team I coached, I would have said, give
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: me the ball. You're done. You can do that. You
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: are absolutely allowed to do that. But nobody gets accountability
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: for anything that they do on the field in that club. Nothing.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable the lack of leadership from the Mariners. From
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the top down into the clubhouse onto the field. How
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the hell is a team that talented, nine games under. 500,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: in one of the worst divisions in the history of
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: the sport? This is the most disappointing.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: They're so talented.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: They have the pitching staff. They have a core lineup
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: that should be just smoking mediocre under 500 teams, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: they can't do it. This is by far the most frustrating,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: disappointing season in Mariners history, bar none. And we've lived
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: through 100 lost seasons in this town.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about September, though. What if they get hot?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Which they have the capability to do, right?
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, you know I'm Susie Sunshine over here.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Of course!
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm the worst.
• 25:29
  Speaker 16: But.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: What if they do? Because it's get in and then
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: we see, right? Everything starts over.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I hear you, Jessamyn. And the math still is that
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: they could get it covered. Yes, all of that's true.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: But the facts are it's a bad baseball team that
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: plays poorly and is actually more games out with fewer
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: games to play than they were a week ago. They
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: were three games out with 30-some games to play. They're
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: five games out with 25 left. The math ain't massive.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: No, it's really bad math.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Eventually, the math... What's my guy on the text line?
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: He gave it to me at the top of the
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: show here.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, perfect.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: 206. Greg, your weekly math update. The Mariners need to
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: play 9-20 ball to hit the POTO line. The depot
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: line is called 54%. How good does 54% look right now?
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: We would die for 54 right now.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: They'd be the number two seed in the playoffs if
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: they were 54%.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: That is what really sucks, too, because it's like we
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: have to, even though that was like the most dreaded
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: press conference of all time, we would kill for it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: The magic number is three losses to be eliminated from
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the depot line. And then kaput for this year. No,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I do not suffer depoto derangement syndrome. Just utterly disappointed.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Just an utterly disappointed Mariners fan. And I get it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: 50 years in this town. No World Series. You get
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: within eight outs and you run it back with basically
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the same team. And they absolutely pratfall. I mean, like trapdoor.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Pull the rug out with a hole in the floor.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Looney Tunes platform. This is just ridiculous.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: You just gave me a really fun visual from my childhood.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Remember?
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Yes, I do.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Rugs over the floor. How many times has Sylvester the
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Cat and Wile E. Coyote, those guys, always fell for
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the same stupid tricks?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, just like paint a tunnel and everything,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: but the Roadrunner gets to get through.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Maybe they can be the Roadrunner this time.
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: Maybe.
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: Maybe.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about something more pleasant.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Let's do that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Montori Foster Jr., making the Seahawks as a high school
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: substitute teacher. He was teaching during last season while the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Seahawks were rushing to the NFC West title. Montori Foster Jr.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: was a high school substitute teacher at Lakewood St. Ed
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: High School just west of Cleveland where he played. He
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: was actually a high school basketball star where he played
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: only one year of high school football because he finally
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: got tired of his coach bugging him at his locker,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: he told us. One year of high school football, he
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: got a scholarship to Michigan State, and now here he
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: is in the NFL. Well, Friday night, he is not
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: happy with how he played in the preseason finale. I
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: talked to him. This is Montori Foster in Kansas City
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Friday night. So now that it's over, how did this
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: go for you? If you can look back on the
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: whole camp tonight and the whole camp.
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I felt like for me, I didn't end it
• 28:09
  Speaker 10: how I wanted to end it. Why not?
• 28:11
  Speaker 13: Just some plays.
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: I just hold myself to a high standard. I felt
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: like it wasn't up to my style of play. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: wanted to go out.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: It was a Tennessee ball between your hands. You said what?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: It was a Tennessee ball last week. I know you
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: thought it was a touchdown.
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: I'm talking about this game, tonight. I'm always focused on
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: the future. Not the future, but right now. It just
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: wasn't up to my standard today.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: What impression do you think you've made overall in five
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: or six weeks?
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: I think a great impression.
• 28:40
  Speaker 10: Just continue to show up, be consistent, do whatever the
• 28:44
  Speaker 10: team needs me to do any time. I feel like
• 28:46
  Speaker 10: I showed that, and, you know, I can live with
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: all the results after that for sure.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: How new record do you think the next 48 hours
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: is going to be for you? It's going to be crazy, man.
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: I have no idea what's going to happen, but, you know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: It's all God's plan, so I'm just excited for the future.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: How does this environment welcome a guy like you who got.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: Here just last year, late in the season?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: How welcome do.
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: You feel here?
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: I feel very welcome. There's definitely a family atmosphere here.
• 29:15
  Speaker 10: A lot of guys are awesome, man, especially the wide
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: receiver room. I love every single one of those guys, man.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: They are great.
• 29:23
  Speaker 10: And it's just been a blessing just to be around
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: those guys and learn a lot from the vets too
• 29:28
  Speaker 10: as well.
• 29:28
  Speaker 13: So it's been a great experience.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. Good luck to you. Thank you. Wide
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: receiver Montori Foster Jr. made the team yesterday after that interview.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: He was sweating it. He really was. until 3 o'clock yesterday,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the cut-down time. Okay, why was I whispering, you might
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: want to know? Well, around him were two guys that
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I knew were going to get cut. So I was
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: trying to have a little grace and not just chirping
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: and patting him on the back and saying, congratulations, you're
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: going to make the team. I know you are. Because
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: the two dudes next to him were watching me. In
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the locker room when 90 players are in a 53-man
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: locker room, it's crowded. And you're stepping over dudes. So
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't want them to hear.
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: Wait, wait.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: 37 guys without a job.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly. And I've learned over the years that that particular
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: locker room after the final preseason game is a very
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: touchy one. It's a very.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: It's different. And it's a lot of dudes with heads
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: down knowing they just played what might be their last
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: time ever being in an NFL uniform. So I was
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: trying to be mindful of that, which is why it
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: came off as me whispering. He smiled when I asked
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: him what impression you think he made. And he knew
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: he had made a great impression. He didn't know if
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: it was enough, but he knew it was a great impression.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yesterday it was enough. I caught his eye as he
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: was walking onto the practice field to begin warming up, stretching,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: and he gave me a smile. I didn't need to
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: talk to him.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Isn't that great? Isn't that great? There's these moments.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: I'm so glad that you're letting people into these moments
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: because so few people actually get to experience that. And
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: you describing it actually lets you inside of it.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: And so I appreciate that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You're welcome. Again, he knows my. nephews went to Lakewood St.
• 31:09
  Speaker 18: Ann.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: He knows, I know the football coach there. I don't
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: know him personally, but I know who he is. And I,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: my nephew played for him and blah, blah, blah. So
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: we've talked about that. So when I walked over to
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: him in Kansas city, he smiled. He knew he recognized
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: me by face and he remembered he was on our
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: show and whatnot, but he was a surprise of camp.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: When we came into camp, nobody thought Montori Foster was
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: going to be on the field. I mean, nobody, including
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: the coaches and Frisman Jackson, the wide receiver coach was
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: just blown away. He forced his way onto the team.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Other surprises. Julian Neal made the 53, and it looked
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: like for a long time the rookie third-round pick would
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: start on the injured reserve list. John Schneider, I keep
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: saying Mike McDonald because that's who I talk to all
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the time about this stuff. Yesterday it was John Schneider
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: who said he had a quadriceps injury. It was a
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: leg injury. We didn't know what it was. It was
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: a quad, the GM said. But Neal made the 53.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: They are thin at safety. They have only three on
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the active roster with Love. They Love and Okada are
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: going to be the starters. Nicky Manwari is technically listed
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: as a safety, though, of course, he plays hybrid linebacker
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: most times. So Neal is needed as a corner who
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: can also play safety. He's more of a versatile guy.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: He's listed as a cornerback, but he played safety in
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: his college career. I haven't seen him much at all
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in the last three weeks because he hasn't been on
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the field, but when he was on early in camp,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: he was at corner. What else? The Seahawks cutting four
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: of their eight draft picks were a surprise because that's
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: a lot. But it also speaks to his roster being
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl champion roster that brought it back with
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: 20 of 22 starters and 48 of 53 from last
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: year on the team. So not a lot of room
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: for those guys. That's what the expanded practice squad rules help. Okay,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: the practice squad. You can have up to 17 players
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: in the Seahawks case because Federico Moranjas is a Puerto
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Rican player, a native of Puerto Rico, who gets to
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: be a part of the international program the NFL has.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: So you get a roster exemption for him. 17 on
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: the practice squad. Up to six can be vested veterans,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: which is why I think six of the eight they
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: cut yesterday will come back, including Noah Igbenogany, the former
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: starting nickelback for Dan Quinn in Washington. They need another nickelback.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: That's why they traded for Avery Smith yesterday with the Chargers.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: But I would expect Igbenogany today to sign with the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: practice squad. That may be announced today or tomorrow. I
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: hope so.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I like him.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: You had a really good conversation with him too.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: We did. And I think he fits these guys for
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: what they need. Now, the coaches thought he was a
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: little bit of a feast or famine player who high risk,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: high reward, who missed tackles and missed some assignments, but
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: also made some big plays. They like to even that
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: out a little bit and not be so feast or famine-y.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Because if you give up big plays in the secondary,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: it's a touchdown, right?
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, that's learning the playbook, you know, and
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: actually sticking to your assignment. And I think that can
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: be taught if he has the talent. then he can
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: be taught how to follow.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: The rules, if you will. So 253, we're going to
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: the text line just because it's in the middle of
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: a conversation here. 253 says, didn't he join the practice squad,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: meaning Foster, in week 16 last year? No, it was
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: maybe a 16, whatever December 30th is. No need for
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: hyperbole unless you consider the march to the NFL championship
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: was before week 16. I don't know how much hyperbole
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: you could say about a guy who was a high
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: school teacher during college. 90% of the regular season last year.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I don't, that's a fact. I'm not trying to be hyperbolic.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: That's not hyperbolic.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not being hyperbolic. He was, he was in a
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: gym in Cleveland during the NFL season. And on December 30th,
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: when most guys have packed it up and say the
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: season's over is when the Seahawks called and say, Hey,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: can you come back? Are you healthy now? And he said, sure.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, he said it with his own mouth to us. Like,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: it's not like you're making something up.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: He went to go get a real estate license. Dudes
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: who think they're playing aren't going to go get a
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: real estate license.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: And go to high school teaching.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I'm trying not to be hyperbolic here. I'm just trying
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: to be stating what the facts were.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: I'm No, you're not. Don't be defensive.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: That person didn't understand how well you know his story.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: It is unusual that a guy was teaching high school
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: last year and has now made the team the following summer.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: It's a great story.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I've covered the league for 25 years, and I don't
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: remember any other time of a player doing that. John
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Schneider yesterday said, you're going to hear at 11 o'clock
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: his comments in full. He said, I don't think I've
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: ever seen a wide receiver improve that much in a
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: short amount of time as Montori Foster. And that's a
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: general manager who's been in the league 17 years and
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: saw Foster at the beginning of training camp last year
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: when he cut him. They didn't see any of this
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: last year, making one-handed catches and turning around starting cornerbacks.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: And by the end of camp, Montori Foster went from
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: an afterthought to catching passes from Sam Darnold in the
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: first team offense. That's how meteoric his rise was. It's
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: better than teaching Latin and Lakewood St. Edward High School
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: from last year. He said he didn't even know Latin.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: No shade to Latin or anything.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: No, he said he didn't even know Latin. He said,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I just said, okay, don't get in trouble. Whatever your
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: sign was, do it. Don't get in trouble. And we'll
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: be done in 45 minutes. He couldn't teach Latin. He
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: didn't know Latin. Oh, boy. 425, are they going to
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: sign Bell back? Yes. As I said at the top
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: of the show, DeAnthony Bell, the safety, who had been
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: a on the first-team defense for part of training camp,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I think is going to come back to the practice squad.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: That'll probably be finalized today, maybe announced tomorrow or the
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: next day. The Seahawks are off for the next three days.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: It's mandatory by the CBA that teams get three days
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: off at the end of the preseason. It's usually the
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend, but the Seahawks' Labor Day weekend is
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: going to be a work weekend. How it's working this week,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Seahawks off today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. I mean, players gone,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: gone fishing. And then Thursday, they come back to practice,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: as if that's a Monday. Friday would be like a
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: normal Tuesday. Saturday, full-scale practice, press conferences, the whole bit,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: as if Saturday was a Wednesday. Sunday will be like
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: a Thursday of game week.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh, this whole thing again.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And Monday will be like a Friday.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what day it is. The Apple
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Cup's on a Sunday.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 37:05
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: So the Seahawks are going to be fully practicing on
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, Labor Day. And
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: then on Tuesday, they're off because the game is on Wednesday.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: That's why they're backloading and having three days off this week.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I threw a lot at you there.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: That's just too much.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I know. My Labor Day weekend will be at a
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: training camp. And September 7th, Labor Day Monday, is when
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Factor Fiction begins. Your chance to be a winner and
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: guess along with us on college and pro sports. Take
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Army in the Under. That's my inside tip. Up next,
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Coach Mike McDonald. What he said about the preseason finale,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: about Jalen Milrow. But most of all, what he said
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: about the starters and their readiness for the opener after
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: not playing a lick at all this preseason. That's next
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: on 93.3 KJRFM. Welcome back. Reg Bell, Jesse McIntyre. And
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: I had to go out. I just saw Anderson Hurst
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: drop in. So I had to open the door and say,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: wait a minute. Are you okay? Because this morning, Lionel
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Messi announced he is retiring from international soccer.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's not if he's okay.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: It's if his wife is okay. I asked that too, Jesse.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Is your Argentinian wife okay?
• 38:36
  Speaker 20: Play you know another world cup or even really much
• 38:38
  Speaker 20: more for argentina but he gave us enough happiness as
• 38:41
  Speaker 20: it is and he deserves to be this family now so.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: You know messy retiring at age 39 from international soccer
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: he's still with fc miami or whatever they call it
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: inter miami for the mls or all stars go to
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: play out the pasture oh good to see him good
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: to see him smiling because i didn't know if he
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: was you know that's.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: That's a shock yeah he's been in a cheery mood
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: today that's a.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Shock Mike McDonald was in a pretty good mood Friday
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: night in Kansas City. He didn't really care whether it
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: was a 9-9 tie or whatever. He didn't care that
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks, I mean, he cared. He wants them to
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: win every time they play.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: But 0-2-1 in the preseason doesn't bother him that much either.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I think he saw what he needed to see.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: What he didn't see were his starters playing. They didn't
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: play a lick. They will not have played from the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl until February the 8th, or February the 8th
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: was the last time they played, until September the 9th
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: when they played. the opener against the Patriots at Lumen Field.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: This was Mike McDonald and his thoughts on Jalen Milrow,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: what his starters readiness is, and more from Kansas City
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: after the final preseason game.
• 39:39
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 39:42
  Speaker 21: It would have been great to close it out with
• 39:44
  Speaker 21: a win, but I just told our team that just
• 39:49
  Speaker 21: the body of work that they've been able to put
• 39:50
  Speaker 21: together up to this point is, um, just, uh, tip
• 39:54
  Speaker 21: my cap to, to our guys, our team, our coaches,
• 39:56
  Speaker 21: our staff. Uh, you know, if you, if you, if
• 40:01
  Speaker 21: you trust the, uh, the work that we've, that I've
• 40:04
  Speaker 21: seen our, our team do and put in and the,
• 40:06
  Speaker 21: and the practices we've stacked together and the off season
• 40:08
  Speaker 21: that they've done. And then you trust the people involved,
• 40:11
  Speaker 21: which we do. Um, I think we're in a great
• 40:13
  Speaker 21: place going into the season. Um, but we're not, we're not, uh,
• 40:17
  Speaker 21: that's not, Some of those things aren't showing in the
• 40:19
  Speaker 21: preseason games, which I understand, and we'll attack those things.
• 40:23
  Speaker 21: But overall, I'm very pleased with our effort, the spirit
• 40:28
  Speaker 21: of our team, our leadership on our team. It'll be
• 40:33
  Speaker 21: an interesting couple days here as we figure out how
• 40:38
  Speaker 21: we're going to start the season, but I'm excited to
• 40:41
  Speaker 21: get going and start working on our week one process.
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: Well, he's really come up to speed, which is, which is,
• 40:51
  Speaker 13: which is, um, saying something.
• 40:53
  Speaker 21: And I think our, our players have done a great
• 40:55
  Speaker 21: job of, of coaching them up and you hear him
• 40:58
  Speaker 21: in walkthroughs, our guys, you know, coach them up play
• 41:00
  Speaker 21: to play and he knows ball. Like all it is
• 41:02
  Speaker 21: is just kind of connecting dots and, you know, connecting
• 41:05
  Speaker 21: some of that, all the things that he's heard to
• 41:08
  Speaker 21: get to the, to the new techniques and the new
• 41:10
  Speaker 21: words and stuff. So, um, did some great things today.
• 41:12
  Speaker 21: Obviously having the interception was, uh, It was pretty awesome. But, yeah,
• 41:17
  Speaker 21: I've been really impressed since he got here.
• 41:19
  Speaker 14: How viable is it he's a big one-cat person?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Viable.
• 41:24
  Speaker 14: He was only out there for a little bit of time.
• 41:26
  Speaker 22: Had you seen what you wanted to see out of
• 41:28
  Speaker 22: him on that drive?
• 41:29
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I think he had three drives, and so that
• 41:32
  Speaker 21: was about almost a quarter, which we had budgeted going in,
• 41:36
  Speaker 21: and our coaches felt good about it, so we decided
• 41:38
  Speaker 21: to move on to the next crew.
• 41:41
  Speaker 23: What were you hoping to see out of this game
• 41:43
  Speaker 23: from people who were trying to.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Earn a roster spot?
• 41:46
  Speaker 13: A lot of the things that.
• 41:52
  Speaker 21: I have not worded this answer well. I saw a
• 41:55
  Speaker 21: lot of great things out of a lot of guys.
• 41:58
  Speaker 21: A lot of great effort plays. A lot of great
• 42:00
  Speaker 21: situational stands defensively. Offensively, it was a sloppy game. Straight up,
• 42:06
  Speaker 21: you have that many penalties.
• 42:07
  Speaker 13: It's just.
• 42:09
  Speaker 21: This is the way it goes, really choppy, but in
• 42:11
  Speaker 21: some of those series, being able to overcome those things
• 42:13
  Speaker 21: and working through it and staying poised, things like that.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: That was Mike McDonald in Kansas City on Friday night.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Myself and Ari Horton, the Seahawks.com reporter, asking the questions
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: because we were the only two there from Seattle.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: I know. Look at you, insider.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Well, they just blow it off. Bob Condotta of Seattle
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Times was in Atlanta covering the owner's incident. vote on Wednesday.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: That was a pretty big one, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the owners. There was something
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: that John Schneider mentioned yesterday that I asked him about,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: about the Kozloff family taking over. There were two points
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: that he talked about that got overlooked in the reporting
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: of what Schneider said. You're going to hear Schneider at
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: 11 o'clock. You're going to hear what he said about
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: the Kozloff family, and you're going to hear about what
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: immediate change they're going to make to the operations, soup
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: to nuts, as they say, of the Seahawks. And I
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: don't know if you're in favor of this or not,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: but it's coming. You'll hear that next from John Schneider
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: of Seahawks GDM on 93.3 KJRFM. Good morning. Happy Monday.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: You'll hear from Seahawks General Manager John Schneider after headlines.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Brought to you by Frostbrood Coors Light. Choose chill. Schneider
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Seahawks cuts 91 players to 53. Set the initial accent
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: on initial roster for the regular season. It's going to
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: change from waiver pickups, free agent signings, and whatnot. Traded
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: with the Chargers to get Avery Smith from Toledo, a
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: quarterback who can play inside, nickel, and outside. He's an
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: undrafted rookie who starred in the Chargers preseason. The Seahawks
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: gave the Chargers a sixth-round draft pick for him. Montori
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Foster Jr., the Ohio High School substitute teacher we talked
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: to way back in July. He made it at wide receiver.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: 87, remember the number.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: 87, that's right. He'll be 87 and blue on opening
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: night September 9th against the New England Patriots. Trevon Diggs
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: did not make it, got cut. He doesn't have to
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: go through waivers as a vested veteran. GM John Schneider
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: says he'd intend to sign the former Dallas Cowboys all-port
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: cornerback to the practice squad. Cody White's probably going to
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: get the same treatment. Patrick O'Connell made it fourth year
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: out of Montana, first time making an NFL roster. He's
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: the backup middle linebacker to Ernest Jones. Seahawks finally signed
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Terran Arnold, and then the NFL did what they told
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks they'd do. They put him on the commissioner's
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: exempt list. Cannot practice, cannot play while he's on it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Next court date is October 4th, 5th, in Tampa, Florida.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: For eight felony charges, possible life in prison for Terryon Arnold.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: The Seahawks think he may, outside chance, get to play
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: late this season. But by signing him now, they own
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: the rights to him for next season. That's the bigger,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: long play there. Aaron Donald came out of retirement after
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: two years away. The 35-year-old all-world defensive tackle signs a one-year,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: $ 20 million deal with the Rams. Doing exactly what he
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: said he'd do. Blow off all the preseason in the
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: training camp and then sign when it got real. He's
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: kind of earned it. I think so. Rams open September 10th.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Against the 49ers in Australia, that's, of course, the day
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: after the Seahawks and Patriots opened the NFL season. Giants
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: kept Odell Beckham. Titans cut former starting quarterback Will Levis.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Four teams kept four quarterbacks, Steelers, Vikings, Browns, and Eagles.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: You notice I haven't talked about the Mariners yet on
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: this headline. You know what?
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: It's okay.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Are they sinking again or are they sunk? 4-9-4-5-1. I
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: think they're sunk and they stunk. Lost three in a
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: row in Toronto, including 7-0 yesterday to a 75-year-old pitcher
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: who had a 6 ERA. Max Scherzer. One hit. One frickin' hit.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: They struck out 15 times yesterday and had one hit.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: Not a banner day. They did have more hits than urgency, though.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: There you go. Look at you. Silver linings, Greg.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's me. Mariners are a season-low tying, nine games under. 500,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: five games out. Now they're headed to Boston. George Kirby
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: starting against a 6'6 left-hander who throws 99 miles an
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: hour for Boston. How's that going to go? Sparks beat
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the Storm, 90-74. Stormer, 8-32 in the WNBA. Curacao beat
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: Nevada to win the Little League World Series. Novak Jokovic,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: 39 years old, lost in the first round of a
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Grand Slam tennis tournament for the first time in 20
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: years last night at the U.S.
• 46:24
  Speaker 25: Open.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Yesterday... John Schneider spoke to the local Seahawks beat writers for,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I think, one of three times this season. One time's
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: at the Combine in Indianapolis. One time's here, and one
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: time's at the league meetings.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: He's just not in front of the mic all the time.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: He's got jobs.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 46:48
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Well, it was somewhat informative. This is what he said
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: about Terryon Arnold. He tells him why he signed it.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: The Seahawk legend who told him to sign Terryon Arnold.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: He explains the Trevon Diggs situation. And he explains the
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: new ownership of the Kozlas. I thought there was some
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: interesting comments here we'll talk about after you hear from
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: John Schneider on 93.3 KJR.
• 47:09
  Speaker 13: Thanks for coming out. Just, you know, shout out to
• 47:12
  Speaker 13: the staff upstairs, all the personnel people, all the coaches,
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: everybody working through everything. As we work to... establish our 70.
• 47:21
  Speaker 13: As you guys know, we don't refer to it as
• 47:22
  Speaker 13: our 53 or to make the team or to not
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: make the team, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, Armani
• 47:31
  Speaker 13: and his staff and Willie and Matt Berry and Aaron
• 47:36
  Speaker 13: and everybody upstairs just did a great job. And a
• 47:40
  Speaker 13: special shout out to Carter and Tess, our interns that
• 47:45
  Speaker 13: have to go end up grabbing the guys and that
• 47:49
  Speaker 13: like three minute walk of silence that is like, I've
• 47:52
  Speaker 13: been there. It's not fun. So, um, yeah, three minutes
• 47:56
  Speaker 13: full of anxiety and quietness. So, uh, yeah, just excited to, um,
• 48:01
  Speaker 13: continue this tonight as we get into, um, you know,
• 48:04
  Speaker 13: the waiver wire coming out this evening and, uh, establishing
• 48:08
  Speaker 13: our practice squad while our initial practice squad, uh, tomorrow
• 48:11
  Speaker 13: and a lot of moving parts, as you guys well know,
• 48:13
  Speaker 13: over the next, um, especially I'd say two weeks as
• 48:17
  Speaker 13: we kind of figure out, um, what the landscape looks
• 48:20
  Speaker 13: like for our team as well as the rest of
• 48:22
  Speaker 13: the National Football League as we prepare for the 2026
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: regular season. With that, I'll take your questions.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: You mentioned the 70. Sorry, you're with.
• 48:36
  Speaker 13: How's it going, John?
• 48:38
  Speaker 15: How much are some of these decisions you have to
• 48:39
  Speaker 15: make today part of looking ahead to tomorrow?
• 48:43
  Speaker 13: It's very much having the six veterans on the practice
• 48:50
  Speaker 13: squad has enabled us to not expose certain, certain players
• 48:53
  Speaker 13: to the waiver wire. And, uh, yeah, it's a strategy
• 48:57
  Speaker 13: for the, the initial 53 cut. And then as well as,
• 49:02
  Speaker 13: you know, what we're going to look like in the
• 49:04
  Speaker 13: middle of October and then trying to be as strong
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: as we possibly can and as deep as we possibly can, uh,
• 49:10
  Speaker 13: with a combination of older and younger players, uh, down
• 49:13
  Speaker 13: the stretch, you know.
• 49:14
  Speaker 18: Um.
• 49:16
  Speaker 13: Uh end of november december january hopefully february.
• 49:20
  Speaker 26: How much do the like relationship with agents and prior
• 49:24
  Speaker 26: like proof of doing that help you you know negotiate
• 49:26
  Speaker 26: those kind of agreements with with the.
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: Vets yeah definitely has to be a level of trust
• 49:30
  Speaker 13: absolutely and uh you know we had to pick up
• 49:34
  Speaker 13: some of those relationships with nolan and trent taking off
• 49:36
  Speaker 13: so um yeah no but uh Yeah, definitely. It's definitely
• 49:42
  Speaker 13: a relationship-based business, especially with the agents. They've been through
• 49:47
  Speaker 13: this with us before, as well as some of the
• 49:49
  Speaker 13: players that you guys have seen be elevated, practice squad, 53, whatever,
• 49:55
  Speaker 13: kind of moving around. I know that, I think, I
• 50:00
  Speaker 13: don't know, we have to be in the area of
• 50:02
  Speaker 13: leading the league in terms of transactions, whether it be, well,
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: I know in the preseason we had the third most
• 50:08
  Speaker 13: tryouts But in terms of just transactions, whether that's practice squad, movements, elevations,
• 50:19
  Speaker 13: 53 movement, we've always been a high volume personnel group.
• 50:26
  Speaker 13: And that's a tribute. It's always been a tribute to
• 50:28
  Speaker 13: our coaching staff to be open minded to that, to
• 50:30
  Speaker 13: be able to provide as much depth as we possibly
• 50:33
  Speaker 13: can for them.
• 50:34
  Speaker 14: Trevon Diggs, is that kind of the plan with.
• 50:36
  Speaker 13: Him to try to get him back off obviously? Yes. Yep.
• 50:40
  Speaker 14: Do you already agree to the practice squad, John?
• 50:43
  Speaker 13: I can't agree to practice squads until tomorrow.
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: Is it an acclimation thing for him, only being with
• 50:49
  Speaker 14: the team?
• 50:50
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, he came in a little bit late,
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: and he's kind of just getting going. He's kind of
• 50:54
  Speaker 13: just getting ramped up, as you saw the other night,
• 50:56
  Speaker 13: just getting his legs under him. But he's confident, and
• 51:01
  Speaker 13: we're excited to get him going and see how far
• 51:04
  Speaker 13: he can take this thing. He's really bought into the
• 51:06
  Speaker 13: culture and the guys and the staff and, you know,
• 51:09
  Speaker 13: carl and and uh nico and those guys so it's
• 51:12
  Speaker 13: been pretty cool to pretty cool to see he's.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: A great guy phenomenal preseason i mean uh shoot outside
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: nickel as you know has played in our defense now
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: um coming out we liked him as a smart tough
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: reliable guy uh very.
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: Instinctive um yeah he's just uh you know they couldn't
• 51:33
  Speaker 13: speak more highly of him and and uh They had
• 51:37
  Speaker 13: a really nice defensive backfield. They did a really nice
• 51:41
  Speaker 13: job in the offseason, and they felt like this was
• 51:44
  Speaker 13: an opportunity. I'm glad they were willing to do it. So, yeah,
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: we'll be adding him and get him in the mix,
• 51:50
  Speaker 13: another young guy that, like I said, could play some
• 51:52
  Speaker 13: nickel on the outside, and then we'll see what he
• 51:55
  Speaker 13: can do on teams.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: With Terry and Arnold, do you have any idea of
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: kind of the time frame for him or now that
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: he's on.
• 52:01
  Speaker 13: That jump list?
• 52:02
  Speaker 12: No.
• 52:02
  Speaker 13: No, that's up to the commissioner.
• 52:05
  Speaker 14: How much was the fact that you couldn't retain his
• 52:08
  Speaker 14: rights next year as a restricted or exclusive rights because
• 52:12
  Speaker 14: of his tenure in the league a factor.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: In signing him now?
• 52:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah I mean the whole there's there's a ton of
• 52:17
  Speaker 13: different factors that went into it obviously the legal stuff
• 52:20
  Speaker 13: has to take care of itself and we totally respect
• 52:22
  Speaker 13: that we there's like you know tons of different buckets
• 52:26
  Speaker 13: to this situation and you know, just the advocates that
• 52:31
  Speaker 13: he had, you know, we had traded for Leon Washington
• 52:33
  Speaker 13: the first year we were here and, and, uh, he's
• 52:36
  Speaker 13: basically like his father. And so, you know, Leon's always,
• 52:40
  Speaker 13: he'll always be a legend here and, you know, has
• 52:42
  Speaker 13: a great relationship with the, you know, with, with the
• 52:45
  Speaker 13: organization and, and, um, you know, the, the, the character just,
• 52:50
  Speaker 13: you know, it just didn't really fit with the allegations
• 52:54
  Speaker 13: and everybody we've talked to. So, um, But yes, there's
• 52:59
  Speaker 13: a long-term play. This isn't like, let's see how quickly
• 53:02
  Speaker 13: we can get this done. Let's get him in the
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: building and see how it goes.
• 53:07
  Speaker 27: Do you anticipate him being around you guys here starting
• 53:10
  Speaker 27: now and everything?
• 53:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, absolutely. He can't practice, but he can be in
• 53:14
  Speaker 13: meetings and train.
• 53:15
  Speaker 26: Was there any consideration with Torrey Horton going on IR
• 53:20
  Speaker 26: at all and any consideration of taking Zach Charbonnet off PUP?
• 53:25
  Speaker 13: No and no. Yeah, so Torrey... No, it wasn't going
• 53:29
  Speaker 13: on IR, and Sharps is always going to go on PUP.
• 53:34
  Speaker 13: Is that how you asked it? Yeah. Yeah.
• 53:36
  Speaker 26: Nick, even Worry, similarly, like, still feel like there's potential
• 53:40
  Speaker 26: that he might be available week one, or is that
• 53:43
  Speaker 26: still just to be determined?
• 53:43
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we'll see how that goes. We'll see what kind
• 53:46
  Speaker 13: of progress he continues to make.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: It's a good call, though.
• 53:48
  Speaker 13: I watch Mike's press conferences, too.
• 53:51
  Speaker 27: We didn't get to see much of Irv Charles during
• 53:53
  Speaker 27: camp because he was hurt and such, but you have
• 53:55
  Speaker 27: him designated to return to. What did you kind of
• 53:57
  Speaker 27: see out of him to want him to be a
• 53:58
  Speaker 27: part of this and keep him on.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: The ability to come back?
• 54:01
  Speaker 13: Well, he's a dominant gunner. I mean, he came in
• 54:05
  Speaker 13: today and we talked, and I forgot how big he was.
• 54:07
  Speaker 13: I gave him a hug, and I felt like I
• 54:08
  Speaker 13: was at his waist. And he's running 22 miles an hour,
• 54:12
  Speaker 13: and he's just a monster special teams player. So it's definitely...
• 54:17
  Speaker 13: It's definitely worth waiting for.
• 54:18
  Speaker 19: John, this time last year, Montori Foster, starting to substitute.
• 54:22
  Speaker 14: Teach because he was not out here, had the injury.
• 54:26
  Speaker 28: What does it say about him being able to come
• 54:29
  Speaker 28: back here, take advantage of the end of last season,
• 54:31
  Speaker 28: and then now earn.
• 54:32
  Speaker 13: Himself a spot on this team? Yeah, really proud of
• 54:36
  Speaker 13: him and proud of his teammates, obviously his position coaches.
• 54:40
  Speaker 13: I've never seen a player, I don't know how to
• 54:46
  Speaker 13: say that, it's hard to remember a player that at
• 54:49
  Speaker 13: the receiver position that's improved as quickly as he has. Um,
• 54:53
  Speaker 13: I told Jax, I felt like he like just took
• 54:55
  Speaker 13: his film and just completely studied it or, you know,
• 54:59
  Speaker 13: just followed him around for, you know, all spring or something. But, um,
• 55:04
  Speaker 13: and then his special team stuff's been really nice too.
• 55:06
  Speaker 13: So he's done a great job. Uh, that's pretty funny
• 55:09
  Speaker 13: that we were, we had the, uh, Kansas city, like
• 55:11
  Speaker 13: the local TV on there, like, you know, voluntary fosters
• 55:15
  Speaker 13: back there to, return the punt, this guy's a dangerous
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: pumper turner. I'm like, he literally doesn't do that. He's
• 55:22
  Speaker 13: just starting, but good shot. But if he can do that, great,
• 55:27
  Speaker 13: you know, as a safety pumper turner and gunner and
• 55:30
  Speaker 13: hold-up guy and stuff like that, too, it would be fantastic.
• 55:33
  Speaker 28: Bigger picture, you were talking with Ray Bull on the
• 55:35
  Speaker 28: pregame show, I think, for the second game about how, like,
• 55:39
  Speaker 28: you've learned you can't make emotional decisions.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: When you're coming off a Super Bowl.
• 55:43
  Speaker 28: How hard is that, though, when you just saw the
• 55:46
  Speaker 28: team that you had collected win the Super Bowl?
• 55:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, it's very hard. You know, we saw
• 55:51
  Speaker 13: Ken the other night. You know, it's tough. Like, we
• 55:53
  Speaker 13: were around him for, you know, four years. I mean, competitor,
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: hell of a player. You know, Reek and Boye and,
• 56:04
  Speaker 13: you know, Kobe. Unfortunately, Kobe was injured. You just miss
• 56:09
  Speaker 13: those guys, you know, but you have to keep going,
• 56:12
  Speaker 13: you have to be able to budget yourself to be
• 56:14
  Speaker 13: able to make, uh, smart decisions moving forward. And so
• 56:17
  Speaker 13: they're just kind of like, no, we did, we did
• 56:20
  Speaker 13: keep a lot of guys. We actually kept, you know,
• 56:22
  Speaker 13: a number of, I forget what the number of snaps,
• 56:24
  Speaker 13: like the total was or whatever, but it was, it
• 56:26
  Speaker 13: was more than I had anticipated looking back. Um, and
• 56:30
  Speaker 13: so I think that's a credit to, you know, the
• 56:33
  Speaker 13: coaches and Joey Lane and, and, um, you know, our
• 56:36
  Speaker 13: personnel staff and in terms of just like, you know,
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: guys wanting to be here and, and, um, Yeah, just
• 56:42
  Speaker 13: keeping as many guys as we possibly can. It's hard
• 56:45
  Speaker 13: not to. And Jason Light kind of reminded me of
• 56:54
  Speaker 13: that at the combine. We got together and grabbed some
• 56:59
  Speaker 13: dinner really late one night, and he was talking to
• 57:01
  Speaker 13: me about, like, hey, man, remember, like, heads up, like,
• 57:04
  Speaker 13: you know, what this is like. So it was a
• 57:07
  Speaker 13: great reminder from a good friend.
• 57:08
  Speaker 14: We didn't see Julian Neal do much in the preseason.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: But he's on the 53 right now.
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: What have you kind of seen from him, maybe behind
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: the scenes?
• 57:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we're not into releasing third-round draft picks. Yeah, no,
• 57:19
  Speaker 13: I mean, yeah, he had a quad, and, you know,
• 57:22
  Speaker 13: it's like, let's go, and nothing that he did that
• 57:26
  Speaker 13: was his fault. He had, like, some sort of slight setback, and,
• 57:31
  Speaker 13: you know, I think he's out there today and was
• 57:35
  Speaker 13: out there in the pregame the other day. He looks
• 57:36
  Speaker 13: great in uniform. Looks good in Seahawks uniform, so if
• 57:41
  Speaker 13: you're into six, two guys that run fast and have
• 57:44
  Speaker 13: good ball skills and will tackle, it's pretty cool.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: I wasn't implying you. I might have said no, because
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: it's healthy enough.
• 57:50
  Speaker 13: It's been a long couple days, buddy. I'm just being
• 57:52
  Speaker 13: a smartass.
• 57:54
  Speaker 27: John, fans might look at you signing Terry and Arnold.
• 57:58
  Speaker 27: Javon Diggs making the trade for the corner today and
• 58:00
  Speaker 27: not seeing Julian in the preseason and wonder about your
• 58:02
  Speaker 27: depth at corner. How do you feel about it right
• 58:04
  Speaker 27: now and how that outlook is for the position overall?
• 58:07
  Speaker 13: Yeah, great question. I feel solid about it, but it's
• 58:12
  Speaker 13: like that position is like you can never have enough
• 58:15
  Speaker 13: guys all the way through, and we've been in spots
• 58:18
  Speaker 13: before where we've been stuck where we're signing a guy,
• 58:23
  Speaker 13: practice squad, two weeks here, elevating. we want to be
• 58:27
  Speaker 13: able to have guys that are in the system for
• 58:29
  Speaker 13: a long time that, that the coaches feel comfortable about
• 58:31
  Speaker 13: playing in games. So, you know, with Avery, again, he's
• 58:36
  Speaker 13: a system fit. He's been, you know, in the same
• 58:38
  Speaker 13: system now for, but you know, the whole spring and everything. So,
• 58:42
  Speaker 13: you know, talking to those guys, it's a comfortable guy,
• 58:44
  Speaker 13: but to your point, yes. Like, like how do we
• 58:47
  Speaker 13: keep Ted Thompson would say, how do you, you gotta keep,
• 58:50
  Speaker 13: you gotta have one in the chamber. You know, you
• 58:51
  Speaker 13: always have a guy in the chamber all the time,
• 58:53
  Speaker 13: ready to go.
• 58:53
  Speaker 26: So, Are you going to ask any sort of like
• 58:56
  Speaker 26: closing conversation with Jody and Bert at dinner or anything
• 59:00
  Speaker 26: just as part of this transition?
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: That's a good question.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 59:03
  Speaker 13: This has been nuts. We had the ring ceremony and then,
• 59:06
  Speaker 13: you know, we kind of went on vacation and, you know,
• 59:08
  Speaker 13: I've been in, I was obviously in contact with her
• 59:11
  Speaker 13: about the Tarion stuff but other than that now we've
• 59:14
  Speaker 13: just been going along you know to her to her
• 59:17
  Speaker 13: you know her deal was like a business as usual
• 59:20
  Speaker 13: and but it's it's incredible how fast it came and
• 59:23
  Speaker 13: like now it's like all right and now we're you
• 59:25
  Speaker 13: know now I'm in communication with new ownership so it's
• 59:28
  Speaker 13: pretty it's pretty wild And.
• 59:29
  Speaker 26: With the Leonard Williams extension, was that something that you
• 59:31
  Speaker 26: talked about with them or with the new ownership, or
• 59:33
  Speaker 26: how did that work?
• 59:34
  Speaker 13: That one was kind of in limbo, yeah. It was
• 59:36
  Speaker 13: kind of like right in the middle of the, you know,
• 59:38
  Speaker 13: it took a minute with that, but Joey did a
• 59:41
  Speaker 13: great job of just sticking with it and really like working,
• 59:48
  Speaker 13: like just working, because, yeah, I stopped myself there. But
• 59:54
  Speaker 13: Joey Lane did a great job of, continuing the conversations,
• 59:59
  Speaker 13: and then finally, like, we were able to get to
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 13: a spot about a week and a half ago where
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 13: we felt pretty close, so. But, you know, regardless of
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 13: the ownership group, like, Leonard Williams is, like, game changer.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 13: It was, like, a no-brainer.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 27: John, big picture on the signings this offseason to get Jackson, Devin,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 27: Leonard all kind of done, knowing you got Byron coming next.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Year, too.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 27: Like, how do you feel that does for the big
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 27: picture of.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I was going to brag about that.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 13: He was pumping them up the other day already. It's like,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 13: I don't even need to. That one coming down the line, too.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 27: Just kind of your thoughts on how that's allowed you
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 27: guys to set things up for the future, keep the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 27: guys that you've wanted, the big pieces of your roster,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 27: and kind of all of that.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, identifying foundational core players, right, and then
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 13: being able to reward them appropriately is huge. And so
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 13: now you just have to keep continuing to, you know,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 13: build around those guys.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 13: You know, unfortunately, you can't, you know, there's, like, you
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 13: can have, at some point, you can have the haves
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 13: and the have-nots. You have to be, there has to
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 13: be a balance in there, too. So, but, again, I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 13: just give Joey Lane a ton of credit. There's a
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 13: lot of, I mean, let's go to Abe. Starting with
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 13: Abe and Cross, and, like, those were, you know, two tackles.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 13: And then Jax, well, sorry, Rasheed, you know. Josh Jones
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 13: was a big one for us, like, you know, our
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 13: third tack. So, like, going all the way through, he
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 13: just did a great job. He would hate me for
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 13: saying this, but he just crushed it. And he's got
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 13: a great personality. He's easy to work with. Yeah, you're
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 13: not always going to like what you hear, but, you know,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 13: he's just going to be there and continue the conversations.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 14: John, how much are you going to look forward to
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 14: the new ownership's AI expertise and incorporating that in everything
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 14: you guys do?
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 13: Yeah, we've discussed it with them several times. When they
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 13: came in, when the groups were coming through, obviously we
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 13: did our research on the different groups and it was
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 13: just really exciting to figure out if we want to
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 13: be the franchise of the future, where can we take
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 13: this thing? We have really smart people that are able to,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: we have the bandwidth to be foundational with it, but
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: then to have them come in and be able to
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 13: help us just take it to another level, whether it's,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 13: you know, in the medical field and scouting and coaching, wherever.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 13: We're going to do whatever we possibly can to just
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 13: crush it with these people. And, yeah, we've talked to
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 13: them several times about it, and it's just, I think
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 13: it's a really exciting thing.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 14: Do you feel behind the rest of the league in
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 14: that regard?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 13: No, I thought, like, I, no. I was reassured Like
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 13: I always feel behind. That's kind of what drives us. So, uh, um,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 13: that level of anxiety, but, uh, no, like we're doing,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 13: we're doing a, we're doing a good job with it,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 13: but like we can go way, you know, like we
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 13: could take this to another level and, and a pretty
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 13: quick banner, I believe.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 26: You mentioned you've had some contact with them maybe since
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 26: the last few days.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Just, just what is.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 13: That like with kind of getting that working relationship?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 13: Just, you know, understanding what's important to them and, and, uh,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 13: to the family and, They're excited. They want to support.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 13: They want to learn. It's just going to be very different.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 13: So we're all going to be learning each other as
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 13: we go through here and figuring out what our cadences are. But, yeah,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 13: they want to support and help in any way they can.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 13: They want to win. They want to dominate. It's pretty cool.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: As you understand it, are they going to be based
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: here or moving here?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 13: I don't know that yet. I mean, there's been some
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 13: discussion with Neil a little bit, but I'm not sure
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 13: how that's going to... And the culture.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 14: Piece that you guys built last year, how hard or
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 14: successful were you in the people you signed, the people
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 14: you retained, bringing that back, and how hard is that
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 14: to replicate.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 13: What you had last year? Well, I would say, you know,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 13: if Mike, a ton of credit, you know, post 25
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 13: season where he was like, I, you know, we, we
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 13: have so much further to go into building a cohesive team.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 13: Like how do we build the relationships and, and like the,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 13: the football, uh, connectedness. And he really, he really went
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 13: for it and, you know, spent a lot of time with, with, uh,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 13: Mike Gervais and Hauschka and, and, um, just bought into
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 13: like the, the, what, what they were, what they were
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 13: talking about and, and understanding how much further we can,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 13: we can grow as a team. And, and like the
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 13: ultimate team sports of playing for each other. And like,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 13: no matter how much money this guy's making or that
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 13: guy's money, you know, like, like how do we just
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 13: try to, you know, avoid that noise and just be
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 13: the best team we possibly can as a, as a unit.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 13: And that's what we talk about. Like, I mean, you
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 13: guys are, I'm talking about this a lot this weekend
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 13: with the guys we're talking to, but like, again, this
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 13: is like, 70 you know like this whole group of
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 13: people it's really like it'll probably end up being like
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 13: as you guys well know like 85 maybe getting back
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 13: to 90 92 we'll probably have 100 and some guys
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 13: through the building this year and it's like it's not
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 13: just like the players it's the foundational people like dave
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 13: and ek and mo and soup and strick and sam
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 13: ramsden and all these people that have been here that
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 13: are always have their hands on the on the players
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 13: and are trying to help them be the best they
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 13: possibly be as well as the coaches and everybody that's
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 13: just touching the players Last question.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 28: Uh, Sam, what do you thought of the summer that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 28: he's had and how big do you think it is
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 28: for him to be, you know, in the same position,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 28: you know, not like, you know, I think it's been
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 28: since 2020 that with the same team and not competing
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 28: for a job.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 13: Or very good offense.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 13: We were very impressed last season, the way he came
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 13: in and was a leader right away. And in the way,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 13: the way he does it, you know, us being a guy,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 13: like being a real, um, authentic leader, um, And I
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 13: would say that's much stronger. And then I think the
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 13: level of play is further along than it was at
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 13: this point last year as well. All right.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 14: Thank you, everyone.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 8: Thanks, guys.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: That's John Schneider, the Seahawks general manager. You heard him
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: mention Hauska there. Yeah, that's Stephen Hauska.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: The former Seahawks kicker. He now works with Michael Gervais,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: who's the performance psychologist, sports performance psychologist that Mike– Mike
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: McDonald meets regularly, like weekly during the season. He meets
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: with Hauska and Gervais. And a lot of what they
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: meet about is how to talk in front of the
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: team and present mental challenge and mental health and mental
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: sport performance talking points.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: It's a huge part of the sport. My friend Luke Falk,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: former Coug, go Cougs.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: He does the same thing.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: And when he finally got into that, it changed his career.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: It changed his life.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: You heard me ask about the AI component. The coaches
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: are really anxious to get the Kozla family in here.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: They're early investors in AI. Neil, the son in his
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: late 30s, who may have the day-to-day long-term operations with
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: the team, is an investor and, in fact, a founder
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: of an AI medical company in the Bay Area. John
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Schneider and Mike McDonald are anxious to get the Kozlas
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: in the building. And when the finances are done and
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: that's finally done, they'll have a press conference at Lumen
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Field probably within a week or so to announce it's
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: formally now done-done. But they want to change scouting. You
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: heard them. Medical, coaching, how they schedule, how they eat,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: all with AI. And they want the Kozla family to
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: be a part of that. How do you feel about that? 49451. Yes,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: they were minority. Vinod Kozla was a minority investor in
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: the 49ers, and that hasn't actually been a well-run operation
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: in the last 24 months.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: Well, it was a good time to jump ship on
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: that one. Thank you, Jed.

• 1:08:19

  Speaker 9: Hey guys, love the show. Jess, we gotta stop saying
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 9: that this team is talented. This team has overrated talent.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 9: If you go by position by position, this team is
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 9: not talented.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 14: Like, at all.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: They're just not a talented baseball team. They have a
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 9: couple good players. This is not a talented baseball.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 36: Team, and it's showing. Hi, Greg.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 24: Hey, Justin. A question I would have is why the
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 24: Seahawks decided to put Diggs on the practice list, even
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 24: though he... He's new to the team, trying to catch up,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 24: but I would think you would want him on the
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 24: 53-man muster versus Nehemiah Pritchett.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: I can't understand that. You're a U.S. Coast Guard listener.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 25: Some opponents cry saying it's not fair. But to quote
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 25: Coach McDonald, we did not care. Didn't care then and
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 25: we don't care now.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 7: 12 is one.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 25: You look perplexed. I'll show you how. When the Hawks
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 25: hit the field, that's how it starts. Before the game
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 25: is over, you'll see the sum of all parts. When
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 25: you play for your brothers, all you do is win.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 25: Now back to the show with Greg and Jessamine.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: I love you guys so much.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: We need her name. She should market that and record
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: it and put it out. Some spitting bars, as my
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: son would say.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: That was some bars, yes.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 4: I love every second, and thank you guys for making
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 4: my day when you send these in.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: Coast Guard O'Day listener, a question about Pritchett versus Diggs
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: to the practice squad. It's simply who's eligible for waivers.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: If they waived Pritchett, he would have to go through
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: league waivers, and he's got some game film from last
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: season that the league has seen, there's a high likelihood
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: he would get claimed, or at least there's a chance
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: he would get claimed, and the Seahawks would lose him.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: Diggs does not go through waivers. So if you have
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: an agreement with Diggs, a handshake agreement, a gentleman's agreement, okay,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: I'll go sign to your practice squad and develop there.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: That's why you do that. So you don't expose Pritchett
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: to waivers. You can keep both of them rather than
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: risk one of them. That is the only reason. It's
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: not a status thing of practice squad versus active roster.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: It's what gives you the best chance to keep both
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: of them. And as far as the not talented, I
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: think the M's have talent. They just play terribly. I
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: think they have a very talented lineup and roster that
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: play like they don't know how to play. And they're
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: not holding an accountability standard of focus and performance. The
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: results are what they are, but pushback saying that they
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: are not talented. I think Cole Young, Kyle Raleigh, Julio
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez has talent, obviously Josh Naylor. They're talented. Randy Rosarino
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: is talented and your most consistent hitter. They have talent.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: They just don't perform to their capabilities, and that's a
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: problem from leadership on down. That is a leadership, motivation,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: execution issue, I think. We have more, huh?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: I'm with you, too. We have a lot of contributions today.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 36: This whole wasted season just feels like Jerry's failed attempt
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 36: to show the baseball world that he knows more than
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 36: any of them. From Danager to the six-man piggyback rotation fiasco,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 36: this whole season has just sucked balls.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: Hi, Greg and Jess.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 37: So do the Mariners not know that rock bottom is
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 37: supposed to be something that's rare and It's not something
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 37: that's supposed to happen once every couple weeks. And also,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 37: once you hit rock bottom, you're supposed to go up
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 37: from there. You're not supposed to hit rock bottom, then
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 37: win a game or two, and then hit rock bottom.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 14: Again, win another game or a few, and then.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: Hit rock bottom again.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 37: Rock bottom is supposed.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: To be rare.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 16: Hey, Chuck Powell here with the ABCs of the Mariners
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 16: for Always Be Catastrophic.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: It's not Jerry's fault. I love Jerry Napoto.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 16: It's Scott servicing the manager. I love Jerry DePoto. And
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 16: for ABCs, it's ABJ.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 30: Always believe in Jerry.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 16: I think it's good that the hitters don't know what
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 16: the hell they're doing. I think it's good we don't
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 16: play this minor.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 19: League talent and we listen to 54%.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: Go M's.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 13: Sorry.
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 36: I guess I should have said this whole season I've
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 36: sucked baseballs. And the whole life out of everybody.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: No, I think Suck Balls worked. Oh, yeah.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I do appreciate the creativity when it comes
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: to Suck Baseballs.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: They are rocker bottom-er. Because every time that... I don't
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: know how many times Adam Jude and Ryan Divish can
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: use rock bottom because.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, you run out of similes.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: If tonight they lose, it would be actually technically rock
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: bottom because that would be the season low 10 games
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: below 500. And again, the Red Sox have a left-hander,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: a young 6'6, left-hander who throws 99 miles an hour.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: So you can see where that's headed. George Kirby's going
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: to have to pitch the game of his season to
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: win tonight. But if they lose, then it is certifiably
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: rock bottom to be 10 games under. They have not
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: been 10 games under.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 37: Once you hit rock bottom, you're supposed to go up
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 37: from there.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: Rocker bottom of her. I get it. That's so good.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: That's so true.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: We appreciate you.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: Suck balls.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: Suck baseball.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. As if that's better.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think that is.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: On the text line, 49451, a lot of you have
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: asked a question that I have avoided answering throughout the show.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: Jason Myers. I caught up with Jason Myers on the
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: way out of the locker room in Kansas City Friday night.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: He wasn't exactly happy to see me because he knew
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: what I was going to talk about. He kind of
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: had this look on his face like, okay, now you
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: talk to me. Oh, really? You haven't talked to me
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: since the Super Bowl, but now you talk to me.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: He missed five kicks out of eight tries, counting two
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: missed extra points in the preseason. He only missed seven
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: kicks all last season, playoffs and regular season. 20 games,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: only missed seven kicks. In three preseason games, he missed five.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: Even the 46-yarder he made the other night started veering
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: to the right. I don't know if you noticed that.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: It was heading down. I didn't notice.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: The directionality, but yes.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: It wasn't great. For the win, the last kick, the
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: 52-yarder looked like it was on a joystick and someone,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: a chief, had just derailed it out of the right.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: It was just right turned outside. He said, Jason Meyer,
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: the story's at thenewstribune.com. I wrote it Friday night. From
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, he told me, yep, I'm working on mechanics.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at film. I'm trying to find the reason.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: He said it does happen from time to time. He
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: believes it's a mechanical issue that he can fix. He
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't see it as a mental issue. He didn't say
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: anything about mentality or mental issue, but that it was
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: a physical. He's trying to find the root cause of
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: the ball veering the way it has during the preseason.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald said after the game they trust J.M.I., that
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: they went for what they packed it up after they
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: got to the 35-yard line and just ran two plays
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: into the line and then called timeout with three seconds left.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: There was like a minute 15 left. They had time
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: to get more yardage and get a closer kick, but
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: they thought, eh, he can make it from here. And
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: so McDonald explaining his trust in Myers is why he
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: did it that way. No, they aren't taking a kicking change,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: but I'll tell you what, if your kicker loses a
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: couple games for you, this is on the table. The Seahawks,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: we all know, because of their good defense, their excellent defense,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: world-class top-ranked defense play a lot of close games, close,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: low-scoring games that your kicker can't miss field goals in. Can't. So, well,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: it's something definitely to watch. But, no, no changes are
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: imminent there.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you guys for the talkbacks because it made
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 4: me so happy.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: I love your voices.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, I love Greg's voice too, but I
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: like more voices on the show.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: It's so much fun. It's so much fun. And you
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: guys are really creative. And I don't know. I just,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: I really like it.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 37: Once you hit rock bottom, you're supposed to go.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: Up from there. Yeah, we should just keep playing that.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 30: Very poignant.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: I saved it as a drop.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. Keep going to that. Um, two, five,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: three says he's honestly, she's honestly surprised that the Seahawks
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: are already using AI.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of, I don't know how many sports teams are.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think Mary, well, you heard John Snyder say
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: he doesn't feel like he's behind the NFL. The 49ers do.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: They use a lot of it. And the coaching staff
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: knows that we'll see. We'll see how this changes, how
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks operate. It is an interesting question that AI
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: owners are coming in, buying the team for sure. You
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: know what?
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: I think that there's so much stigma around AI and
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 4: the way they started it was to help people. It
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 4: was for medical reasons and to try to actually provide
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: something at a lower cost for people who can't afford it.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: So I just feel like.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 4: That needs to be brought into the equation so that
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: people understand.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 4: That it's not just, hey, we want to have robots
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 4: and fire everyone.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 13: No.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: Or making videos that don't mean anything. Oh, God. That's
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: what AI is. It's been abused in that way for sure. Yeah.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: All right. 425 says, hey, Greg, I thought of a
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: player like Diggs. Didn't make the 53-man roster. He can
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: then be claimed by any team. What stops someone else
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: from picking him up? Does he have a choice to
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: say or something? Yes, he does have a choice. He's
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: an unrestricted free agent. He doesn't get claimed on waivers.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: He could be signed by any team. to their 53-man
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: roster today. If they offered him $ 5 million to play
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: this year, he would probably go. The thing is, he
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: hasn't been in pads since January. He's had a history
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: of injuries. He hasn't played a full season since 2022,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: and he was on the street until the end of
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: August when the Seahawks and Lions were the only two
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: that tried him out. So he chose the Seahawks, and
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: now the Seahawks are giving him a shot, but they're
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: telling him, To get this shot, you're going to be
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: on the practice squad first. So that's why they're doing
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: it this way. He's not subject to waivers. He could
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: sign with any team. He's agreed to sign with the
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Seahawks practice squad.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, before we get to break. One late last talk back.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, guys.

• 1:24:51
  Speaker 17: baseball team. We'll talk about the local baseball team.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: And period. End of story. I do want to touch
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: base on something for Brazardo.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 14: Not knowing where home is.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 7: What are we doing? What are we doing?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: Had to get it in. Had to get it in.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: He didn't say as we go along. He didn't say that.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 8: No.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: That's another Ian-ism.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: There's some isms, yeah.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good. Ian is up next. We'll ask if

• 1:33:58
  Speaker 20: depth chart, and then they wouldn't do the depth chart, which.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 20: And this isn't against the whole thing. Like, if you're
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 20: going to now find teams or you got it like
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 20: in college, you have to be up front with.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: The injury report. Yeah.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 20: Like, can you just do the broadcasters and others a
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 20: favor and put the depth chart out? Even in the NFL,
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 20: when it's preseason, when it doesn't really matter, there's a
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 20: depth chart.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: Unofficial, but put out by the PR. But it's still
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: pretty accurate. Close.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 20: And, like, I just think it's– I think it's not
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 20: just him. I think there's SIDs that do that. They're
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 20: doing their– They're doing their broadcasters, the national broadcasters, and
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 20: the visiting broadcasters a big disservice.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: I bet the actual broadcasters can get them. Maybe at
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: least can, but I bet the guy from, I bet,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: what's the kid's name?
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 10: Chris.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: He probably can't get it. So from Wazoo. I think
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: it's just silly, but you know.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: Chris King is the voice of the Cougs.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: That's him, yes.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 20: They, I, I think it's silly, but that's just, that's
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 20: the broadcaster in me that just, that just did a
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 20: preseason game with 180 guys on the roster. And it's
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 20: hard enough for that. And college has the same.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, they do.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 20: College has roughly now most of those guys don't play
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 20: and so forth, but yeah.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: What stuck out to you about the Seahawks weekend? Miller
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: was good. Very good. Outside of that, nothing. Literally outside
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: of that, nothing. What about the cut? What about Diggs?
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: And what about the cut? Well, I mean, you explained
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: it well.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 20: I mean, there's, Schneider and they're all doing, not just Schneider,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 20: like all these guys are doing roster gymnastics throughout the league.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 20: I think it's a really interesting point because we always,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 20: we get to this every year. People are like, oh,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 20: like going back in July and early August, people were talking,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 20: us probably included, oh, can they sneak him through waivers
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 20: to get to the practice squad?
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: And 26 guys got picked up last year. Out of
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: 32 teams. Yeah. Fewer than one per team. Less than
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: one per team.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 20: So I don't think, so everyone's doing the same kind
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 20: of thing. the little roster gymnastics. But, yeah, I mean,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 20: the safety thing was the one that surprised me. I
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 20: think you're getting a little risky with a couple of
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 20: those guys. I think Thomas and Bell are guys that
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 20: could certainly go somewhere else.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: That would worry me a little bit.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: Because you have no depth there. That's a little bit
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: of a risky move. They count on Bell to come
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: back because Bell actually chose to decline more money to
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: stay with Cleveland. His agent told me that. Yeah. We
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: had him on in training camp. He said the same thing.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: But it's risky.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: If somebody puts you on a 53, man. That's right.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: Then away you go. Molly Wap today should be... Oh, God. Yeah,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: it'll be interesting. What a weekend.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: The Molly will be Wap.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: Why will they not just take the ball out of
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: Bizarro's hand and say, you're done? And why don't they
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: just take the ball out of Julio Rodriguez's hand and say,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: you're done, when you throw the ball in the stands?
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 10: Because.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 20: I'll just go, I'll reference my friend Softy who did
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 20: like multiple social media videos this weekend.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: Accountability. There's no account of it. There's no leadership. You
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: know the answer.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 23: Yes.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: It's a rhetorical question. That was a rhetorical question. Molly
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Wap is going to be. One o'clock today. Let's go.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: What else you got? We'll talk Seahawks. Will you? Yeah,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 2: we'll talk Seahawks. I appreciate that. Yeah, we'll get to
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: that as well. Ian and the Molly Wap gang are
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: up for a fireworks show next. Greg Bell, Justin McIntyre,
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 2: and all the talkbacks. Appreciate that. We'll do it again
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: tomorrow at 10 a.m. Keep them coming. She'll play them
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the night if you send them.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: He ends up next.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, but like don't.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: Don't send them to her personally. It's a station. He
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: ends up next on 93.3 KJR FM.
