  Speaker 4: Here he is good to see. Yeah, but QB one
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: is here. Yeah, I love it. It's uh, you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: bring back some memories of training camp's past. Yeah, it
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: used to be the fourth of July when you're watching
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: the fireworks.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: You just kind of think, oh boy, it's just right
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: around the corner. Now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: They start a little later in July, but a lot
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: of excitement here obviously with Hard Knocks and being the
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: defending champions.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: So Hard Knocks took our parking spaces. I mean we
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: got better ones. Don't get me wrong, but that's why
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: we can't park by the train tracks like we usually do,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: because those trailers out there are are all hard no.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well we're upgraded for the moment. Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we're a little closer at a little closer.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: It used to be a couple of hundred yard walk
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: now it's just a hundred.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So we got our own spaces, Yeah we are.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I mean we're living fatuck. Greg Bell's got his own space,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: got his name on it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Bell. That's how powerful he's become in this industry.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Someday, if we could just get to Greg's level, Yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: that's all I aspire before I draw my last breath.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Can I just have a space next to Greg?
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Well, even if it's a four steps farther, that's right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make sure I kiss up to that guy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: He's got the secret sauce right now.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Well, great to have you all with It's great to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: have you here. We've got to all sorts of things
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: that we are going to talk about. But what is
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: what happens to you as the football player when you
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: report to training camp, even as a media member these
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: many years later, when you show up for the first
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: time here and you see the football field all painted
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and you know it's not exactly football weather right now,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: but there's there's a taste of it in the air.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: What is duty does it it changed your old body complex.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I played twenty five years of football at all levels,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and I think I met I could count on one
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: hand the guys that I've met that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Actually like football practice.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: And that doesn't mean you don't like football, doesn't mean
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: down love football, but just football practiced by its nature
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: is not fun. And and so I think that there's
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a excitement. You know, you have to go through this
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: period of time to get to the regular season. It's
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: just it's just it's it's a necessary process.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: For quarterbacks, you're wearing the red jersey. You're not gonna
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: be touched, so there's not the physical nature of it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: For the most of the guys. The rest of them. Uh,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: there's a physical component to this that can be pretty brutal.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Now you don't hit today like you used to hit.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But but there's a lot of running whenever. I remember
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: a linebacker one time handing me a Tabasco sauce bottle
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and he said, well, you open this, and his hands
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: were so swollen and he couldn't you know, he couldn't
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: open a Tabasco sauce bottle. But you know, you don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: even go to you don't even go to the training
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: room for that. You're just you know, you're gonna hit
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: in the morning, then you're gonna have a lunch, you're
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: gonna have a an hour nappen. You get up and
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: you're gonna go hit in the afternoon. Because the first
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: two weeks was all pads, double days, hitting all both sessions.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: It was just kind of a meek grinder in terms
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: of of, uh, you know, testing you now. A few
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: years prior to me, there had been Jack petera and
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: like they used to not have water, which seems unconstable
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: and and and that was for me, right, there's no water,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: and and so we've evolved a little bit and the
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: players have realized that they have some levers. So they
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: have collectively bargained away the two days. They've collectively bargained
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: away all but I think four U padded practices days.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: So they were a long way away from the junction boys,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: you know, like I understand that. Okay, uh, the first
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: segment and now we already got the guy saying my day.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I look, I I freely admit that the players, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: they're big, they're stronger. If you had a time machine, Uh,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: these teams auld kick our ass from you know, thirty
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: years ago. I think that's more true in the trench's chuck.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, just look at a size and weight.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: All you have to do is look at a size
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: and wait. But you're gonna have a hard time telling
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: me that the John Lway and Barry Sanders and Jerry
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Rice couldn't play.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Today, Oh, no doubt. You know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: But I think that when you look at the size
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: of the lines, where three hundred pounds would be rare,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: now under three hundred pounds is very rare, extra, you know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: And so so just if that's all you did is
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: just did that calculus, you'd you kind of go this
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: year is probably better than uh, you know, prior years.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Well that I mean that's the beaudeo of
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: being a.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Sports fan and a sports talk shows and everything else
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: is the comparing of the eras and understanding that there
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: are differences. It's like I always said, with Babe Ruth, Yes,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I understand he could not hit today with that giant
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: hitch in his swing. They throw too hard. But there's
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: no denying that Babe Ruth had a natural ability to
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: hit a baseball, and had he lived in an era
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of the nutrition and the coaching, I think.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: He would have figured it out. Yeah, I think he
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: would have changed it. Yeah, I think there's no doubt.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, you have to, you have to.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: It's almost like, hey, Jack Nicholas was hitting with a
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: person who wood head. You know, there was probably two
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: hundred and thirty you know CC's and and with a
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: steel shaft.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You know, you give him a four and sixty cc.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: You know graphight, uh head with the graphite shaft and
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: whatever they're putting in things now, and let him have
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the training. Then Okay, how far could he hit them?
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Because because he'd hit a little lot of ball with
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: that that that wood head, you know, he he'd just
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: steam this thing, you know, and he was you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: you can build a house between his ball and everybody else.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: That was a blot of ball, you know, and so
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: you you could assume you puld give him access to
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: the training, the equipment. I think that applies a lot
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: of sports, and I think it, you know, for for Ruth. Yeah,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: the guy hit three forty two. You know that's a
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: that's a good way. You know, you want more home
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: runs than most teams. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, but everybody
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: thinks of the power and maybe you think of the strikeouts.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: His career batting average three forty two.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: So his uh, his ability just God given ability. In
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: modern times, there's no question he would be an elite.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Hitter and in the words of Ty Cobb, ran pretty
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: good for a fat man. Uh.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It's you Millan, Chuck Powell with you here, day number
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: one of training camp.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Our coverage begins.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: He kind of like a fat right, yeah, a little
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: debutante steps Yeah. Yeah, it's like he he kind of
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: had to go to the bathroom.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Probably let me get around so I can go number two.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It's quickly as man ate.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: A lot of hot dogs probably did. They can't knock
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: it in the fourth. Yeah, you had a beer in
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the fourth. All right, Well, let's talk about it from
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: this standpoint, because I mean, this is my first training camp.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I moved here after the one yard line play. I
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: didn't mean to bring.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: That up this morning, but I was like, how do
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I get around this? Uh, that's when I moved after that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Moved here a week after that Super Bowl. That was
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: a fun time. Everybody was in a you were acquitted
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: of that charge. Everybody was in a great mood when
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I came to town. I'll tell you that. So I
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: have not covered a training camp where the champs are here.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: The champs are here, and that's what we've got going on. Uh,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: we got a training we got champ camp here today.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: It's the first season that I've covered in which a
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: world champion is returning to uh start defense of their crown.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I know you've got some experience with this, being around
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: a camp where.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: That has occurred. What are the differences between a normal
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: training camp and you're coming back as a champ camp.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Well, I got traded to the Cowboys after they won
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: their first Super Bowl. In that little mini dynasty they
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: won three or four called the Jerry Jones Here, I
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: don't want to say Jimmy Johnson, because Barry Switzer won
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: the last of those. But you know the Jimmy Johnson,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Jerry Jones, and but Troy Aikman had back surgery in
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: that offseason. So I came in and for the first
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: three four weeks of camp I took all the reps
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: with the number one offense of the defending champions. They
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: had beat the Bills the year before, and so now
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I had not been on the team prior, so I
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: don't have any comparison from how they had been. But
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I can tell you now again, this is a different
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: age that this is prior to free agency.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: This is the what was termed.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Player indemnity, that after your contract was up, you were
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: still your rights were still held by that team. Joe
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Montana doesn't matter if he's a ninth year in the league.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: When his contract expires with the forty nine ers, he
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: is the property of the forty nine ers, no free
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: agency whatsoever. And so well, how does that impact that
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: a guy like Jimmy Johnson could be as red ass
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: as he wanted. There's nothing guys could do right, And
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: but they also also had this the component that everybody
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy. Everybody in the league
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: either want to be a raider or a cowboy. So
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: once you got to the Cowboys and you experienced that
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: success and the way the Cowboys culturally impact the region
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: and what have you, and just the the the allure of,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: you know, being a cowboy with the star in the head.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: You know, players were dying to be on that team
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: and to stay on that team. So Jimmy Johnson could
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: crack whatever whip he wanted.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And the.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Very first meeting, very first meeting, I just expected it
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: to be like just kind of hey, what's going you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: like first day of school, you know, on first day
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: of school, they don't give you any homework. Yeah, you know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the kind of grab ass And yeah, right, I thought
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: it was gonna be kind of a grab ass. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: he was just right from the jump. And he had
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: an industrial psychology major from Arkansas and so he was
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: into psychology and and he just said, I don't want
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: to hear anything about Hey, I'll make the play, you know, coach,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I'll make the play on Sunday. He's bull f and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: you know s and he said, you make the play
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: right now today, you know, and that was that was
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: mini camp practice, the first mini camp practice, and and
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: then the training camp got elevated even more. And so
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: so he was he he he just had the temperature
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: on that team, uh dialed in. He was just screaming
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: all the time, ferocious hitting. These what's called nine on
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: seven drills, which is all runs. Both the offense and
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: the defense knows there's no passing. It's all run. It's
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: it's just a meeker. It's just like how do you
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: make hamburger. That's how you make it, Like for twenty
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: four minute session, all runs, just incredible hitting. So he was, so,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: how would that apply to this? I don't I don't
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: think Mike McDonald is cut in that mold.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: He's capable, but I don't know.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: If But if he were to say, emulate Jimmy Johnson
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: with a modern flare that fits his personality, then.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: He and I'm just saying he's going to do it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: But he would be he would be like have a
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: very stern eye on complacency, almost like going to being
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: more of a red ass than he was twelve months ago.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's his approach, but if Jimmy Johnson,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: this is my conjecture, if he were coaching now, he
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: would still find a way within today's constraints of the hitting.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Within those constraints, he would still find a way to
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: say I'm looking my eyes, my eyes are wide open,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: my intenders are sky high, looking around for even the
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: slightest shred of complacency, because I'm gonna nip that in
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: the butt.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: And there's and there's some stories we can get into
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: specifically about some of the drills that he did.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And it's the trade. It was. It was incredibly intense.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Maybe Mike's not a whip cracker, but I'll say this,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I really like a couple of.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: The things he did. This office. He'son number one.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: He made sure that we don't use the phrase let's
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: run it back. Yeah, he got rid of that this office.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I mean that was a message. That was a message like,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: first of all, it's a tired ass cliche phrase. Now
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I'm sick of hearing it myself. Secondly, he's just gonna
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: wipe it out because that's everybody's crutch after they won
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: a championship to say something like that. So he just
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: lotted that phrase out of camp to the point where
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: if people say it outside.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: The players are like, no, no, no, we don't say that,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And then the second thing he did was the
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: ring ceremony to not let that linger into the season.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: We're going to have a ring ceremony, like nobody said,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: We're gonna have a big, giant party. We're gonna celebrate,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: We're gonna get dressed up, we're gonna invite wives. We're
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: gonna and have a big party about it. And then
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: as soon as you get your rings, we're not gonna
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: think about that. We accomplished something last year that's not
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: gonna pop up in the middle of our season or
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: our preparation for our season. Yeah, a couple of couple
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: of things that are different. But I think that even
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: though it's not whip cracking, it sort of emulates what
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: you're talking about, and that is no complacency around here.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: As soon as we report to camp, we are about
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: winning the Super Bowl. I don't care what happened a
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: year ago. Yeah, I think, Chuck. The ring ceremonies have
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: kind of come into vogue. I know, you know, the
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Patriots and Robert Craft would have these big ceremonies in
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the spring and have a big party like that. So
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't think he's breaking any ground in
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: any material sense with with the ring ceremony.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: But but the the the whole run it back, you know,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: you think of like the imagery that wait a minute,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: we're trying to We're gonna put the car in reverse
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: and go back and and try to attain what we
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: had last year. You know, I think there's some some
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: the symbolism in the semantics of that, and and so no,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: we're running it forward. I mean, if you you take
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: any any every single club in the NFL has team
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: photos somewhere, and the Super Bowl champions. There's no Super
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Bowl champion in history where you look at the team
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: photo of the Super Bowl champion and then you look
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: at the next year and it's the same photo. Even
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: back in the I I used the term player indemnity
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: the Packers, they won the first two Super Bowls. I
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: guarantee you that the second team photo of year two
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: was different than year one. Now, Bart Starr was in
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: there and Paul Horning was in there. I'm not saying
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: that the the nucleus wasn't there, but there were. It
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: was not the same team. And so you reckon this
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: isn't the same team, so you have to you know.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Some of the metaphors is, hey, when you drive, what
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: what is the the number of square inches of the
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: rear view mirror as a ratio.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: To the windshield.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a purpose for that. You should you should
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: glance at your rear view mirror. You should look acutely
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: in the front mirror because it's a lot or in
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the front windshield because its a lot bigger, you know,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: you know, and there's you know, and and if you
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: think in those terms, yeah, well glance at the rear
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: view mirror. There's nothing wrong with looking back, but let's
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: look more forward and running it forward, like hey, we're
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a new team. It's just it's just ways to connect that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Maybe a switch for a player could go, oh, okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I get that, I get that. We're we're you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: we're we're running it forward. And so I like the
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: the wording and and the symbolism captured in that phrase.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: We just like him, right, yeah, whatever he does.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Raise your hand.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: If you don't like McCone, like McCone, okay, now if
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: you have your hand up right now, you're an idiot.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: You are a fool. Find a therapist. Now work out
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: your problems, keep your hand down and get your life
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: squared away.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Training Camp coverage beginning right now. Hugh Mellin's is going
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: to be with us for most of this first week
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: right here at our set uh uh in the mornings,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: and we couldn't.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Be happier about that. We got a lot to covered today.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Let's find out what is on tap for the rest
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: of today's show, man, I have your attention, please.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: This is what's on tap, brought to you by Emerald
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Queen Casinos, bringing you the best in live music, entertainment,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: dining in gaming, Emerald Queen Casino, always entertaining. For more info,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: visit Emerald Queen dot com.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Oh everything just sounds so tidy, nice neat this morning. Well,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: it is Champ Camp. The Champs are here.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: As we get things going, and we do have Abe
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Lucas joining us today at seven forty five. Also, Greg
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Bell will be with us at seven oh five every single.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Day for the rest of his life.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: So with his new parking spot and everything, they'll probably
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: come in with a big head this year, but we'll
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: try to keep him grounded. We still are waiting on
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: a deal with Devin Witherspoon. We'll find out more from
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Greg about that. Cooper Cup apparently had a sensational Day
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: number two yesterday of training camp Day number one, Horton
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: seemed to be getting a lot of the attention in
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: the headlines. And really the owners aren't even allowed to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: be in the building just yet, and so not much
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: of an impact new ownership has had on training camp
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: or anything within the building here, and so we'll talk
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: more about that.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Later on as well.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: And of course hard Knocks. I had to make sure
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: that I, you know, cleaned up a little bit because
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: obviously there's a good chance I'm probably gonna get my
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: own television show out of this, So you know, I
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: didn't want I didn't want to drop the ball at
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the one yard line here. Outside of the Seahawks, disturbing
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: news from Kyle Shanahan. He was involved in a car
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: accident where he apparently got banged up enough that he's
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: going to miss some time with the San Francisco forty
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: nine Ors, So bad news on that front. Also from
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the Arizona Cardinals, Jacobi Prissette. Brissette has a brand new deal.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: He didn't get the big monster, you know, thirty five
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: million dollar deal that I think he was seeking. But
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: he did get a pay raise. He got up to
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: fifteen million to be the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Lebron James. That's starting to soak in. I think in
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia that Lebron James is a seventy sixer. We may
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: have some time talk about that a little bit later on. Also,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: WNBA All Star weekend came to a close. I don't
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: understand how they even choose the teams, but Don Malonga
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: did have twelve points Saturday in the w NBA All
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Star Game. The MLS, for whatever reason, is on an
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: All Star break this week.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Soccer's really strange. Did you not just have a month off?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Did we not just have the biggest All Star Game ever,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: All Star Tournament? And yet they played two matches and
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: go on a week break? What that f is going on? Finally,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Mariners went over the Texas Rangers six to four, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: my goodness, did they pull one out of the fire.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Thank you dom can Zone. After losing Friday and Saturday
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and trailing most Sunday, it felt quite bleak. Dom can Zone.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It's a three run homer to put him up for good.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: On Sunday, and so hope remains alive for the Mariners.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: It was feeling awfully bleak at one point Sunday afternoon.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: So we'll get into that. Next.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Mariners Morning After comes your way right here. Hugh Melan,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Ashley Ryan, Chuck Powell with you. Great to have you
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: with us Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r FM, Victory. Yeah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: we spice it up a little bit here on the program,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Chuck Powell, Hugh Millan. Training camp coverage begins today here
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: at Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM with us.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: We are honored. We are going to be.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Broadcasting from out here at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: of course throughout the week. And look who we've got
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Hugh Millan here with us in the warnings for all
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: four hours here the next couple of days Thursday as well,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: maybe a lot from him on Wednesday when we're back
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: in the studio.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: So he's doing his.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: First ever Mariners Morning After with us. Because even though
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: we're gonna talk mostly Seahawks throughout the course of the week,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the Mariners are certainly making news every single pitch. It
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: feels like Friday didn't get the job done Saturday, didn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: feel like even showed up, and man, it was looking
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: awfully bleak at one point yesterday, Hugh, where Jacob de
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Gram's just kind of rolling along. The Mariners are getting
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: hits but they can't cash them in. And the Rangers
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: were up three to one in the seventh inning, three
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: to one in the seventh inning, and I know it's
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: early to say things like must win, but it was
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: feeling awfully, awfully dire and.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Two outs, yeah, two and the seventh inning. And what
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: I find interesting about it is is you would never
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: if you look at that swing, you would never teach
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: that kind of a swing, like like the Tony Gwynn
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: swing the handle, don't throw the barrel at the ball.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: He he, he ignored the he went down, threw the barrel,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: you know, cast cast the barrel right and and somehow
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: still pulled that thing.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It just shows you the power, power, the power he
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: has in his forums and his wrist that he could
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: he that he could throw the.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Barrel of the bat that low right and still pull
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: that ball in dramatic fashion. But that was not a
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: technically sound swing. It was just, you know, a great
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: athlete that somehow, I don't say he's great by baseball stands,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: but all of them, uh, you know who have the
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: ability to do that, I don't know, Chuck to and
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: you know what, the double he had later that got
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the insurance run was the same thing.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: He had two incredible hits that violate all the central
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: tenets of hitting.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dom Canzone is the hero we never know we needed.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: But it was the seventh inning, trailing three to one.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: You have a lefty on the mound and Tyler Alexander
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: from the Rangers, and we have a very heavy lefty
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: hitting lineup. So JP Crawford grounds out. Of course, cold
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Emerson gets a single to left field to get it going.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Then Cole Young, who's looked terrific at the plate all
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: weekend long, even though he didn't get a lot of results,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: he also singled the other way, put two men on,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: and the Rangers decide, with Julio coming up and dom
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Canzone in the hole, one out, Let's bring in a
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: right hander, and so they bring in a right hander.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: They get Julio to fly out pop out the second
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: base and then dom Canzone comes to the plate.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: The two on there go absolutely crushed. Dom Can zone.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Flips the script a screamer.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: The right field, four three Mariners in the seventh, dom
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Can Zone comes through. This is the second home run
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks that felt like it has
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: saved the season Cole Young a week ago and now
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: dom Can Zone yesterday, and I you know, it's a
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: long season, and it sometimes feels like you're out. You're
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: not really out of the standings, but man, the did
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: those two home runs feel like they had to happen
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: for this team to stay alive?
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Well, he had.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Miller Friday night that you know was okay, but not
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: his his dominant self, right, and then wu Saturday, he
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: gives up I mean he gets hit hard in the
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: first scene inning, even the even the outs were hard hit.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: And you know, he gives up three in the first
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: two in this a you're down five to nothing after
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: two innings.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: And and then so the.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: Rest of that was just kind of an exercise in
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: getting you know, uh, the clock to double zeros, if
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: we can use a football term, right, And and so
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: now all of a sudden, you're you're you're looking at
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: the specter of of being you know, three down, three
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: game losing streak against your your your right, I don't
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: say your rival, but your in the division.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: We had a promo about your uh uh, your promo
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: about the the young home run before.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: So we'll we'll see, you know, we'll see what happens today.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: We'll see what happens with the Dodgers.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: It didn't start anything special.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, it kind of felt like, oh, not only
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: did Cole just save us, but maybe it gets us going.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: It didn't get us going, so to hit two of
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: them in the span of a week, maybe this one
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: gets them going. They will have the pitching advantage today
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: eleven thirty five. Ashley and I talked about it leading
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: into the series. Felt to me like we're going to
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: get a split out of this.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: But on Friday night there was we had a two
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: point six ERA advantage between Miller and who do you
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: go again? On Mackinsey going okay, okay. So if you
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: look at all the times this season where a team
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: has had a two and a half or more EER advantage,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: the team with the events has sixty two percent. Now
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: it's fifty six percent on the road. But even still,
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: you felt like, Okay, the money is on the Mariners.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: On Friday yeah, and.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: We can probably anything with this team.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, and and uh and then WU was just
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, at what point are we just going to say, dude,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: good for you.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: You have just earned the right to not travel.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Just stay home with your dog, you know, throw it
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: to this ball at the park, keep your arm loose,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: and we'll see you when we get back.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I painted out a scenario coming out of the break
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: where you had six games at home, and you could
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: have started him in the first game and he could
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: have got two home.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Obviously they didn't want to give.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: In to the thought that he can only pitch at home,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: and obviously that's got to get fixed. But there's a
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: large enough sample size to understand there's an issue here,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: and I would take advantage of every opportunity I had
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: to pitch him at home and try to avoid him
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: on the road until they can get this fixed.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Well, but how how far do you push that we
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: got six six Well, let's think of this. There's more
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: than one option available to let's let's talk about let's
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: let's say there's three or four options. Generally, the most
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: drastic would be, like, seriously, we're not pitching Wu on
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: the road anymore. We've got six starters like hard stop
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: he's not because going into the game, he was number
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: one in the majors, all of the major leagues in
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: the biggest gap between his home era and his road
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: r well, he gave up what five and five, so
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: you know it's even a bigger gap. Whatever lead he
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: had in that dubious category, it would just widen down
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: his last started. I don't know, man, I like like
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: this dude has been my favorite pitcher for the last
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: few years, in.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Part because he just looks so damn effortless.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: I just love how smooth he's got that Mariano rivera
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: buttery like he throws it ninety eight without you know,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: he looks like he's throwing a nerf ball in the backyard.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: He's got his beautiful kinetic energy of how he just
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: generates his velocity and nothing looks like, you know, like
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: he's trying. Whereas Logan Gilbert and we don't care how
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: a guy looks like like just produce. Let me say
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: that's stating the obvious, Like you know, Clayton Kershaw, I
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: just want to cover my eyes bleed when I watch
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: that guy, Like, you know, he's just like a ninety
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: eight year old guy falling out of a rocking chair.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: You know, it's like some guys do not look smooth
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: of pitching a baseball. Brian Wu is a smooth mfort
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: like that dude, right, Like I'd love that guy's passing,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: you know, as a guy that has looked at the
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: mechanics of a quarterback of time or two, appreciating his
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: mechanics or something.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: But but where his head is? Uh this?
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: You know, the guy was fifth in the in in
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: in the uh Cy Young Award.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: And he has such a confidence about him and such
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: a like swagger about him. Uh, but obviously it's psychological.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: There's no way that his stuff is getting worse when
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: he stays in a hotel versus when he drives from home.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: So it's something psychological. And uh yeah, I don't know
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: how far you go to avoid him.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: How far do you go? You make the decision?
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Well, like I said, I had a plan that he
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: starts game one in game six and you go back
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to a five man rotation. And no, you can't avoid
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: entirely using Brian Wo on the road, but I would
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: be looking for opportunities to have him pitch more at
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: home than I would on the road. Uh, But the
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Mariners do get the victory. On Sunday six four, the
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: final score over the Texas Rangers. Gabe Spire pitched more
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: than an inning and didn't die.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: How about that ash? It was so magical, wasn't it. Wonder?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I saw it, and I was like, do my eyes
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: deceive me? Did? Gave Spire go into the dugout?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: And then he got.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Down, He didn't perish into dust. And then they used
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: him again the next inning and he was just as effective.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Wow, it was so beautiful.
• 31:32

• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Lucas we'll give him the he'll be like, heer, buddy
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: you're so, disgusting but uh, yeah WELL i think you're
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: you look at for.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: Me Bud clark is an interesting study because of how
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: they're going to use the. Secondary and if you go
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: back to twenty twenty, four Obviously mike McDonald's first, Year Devin,
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: witherspoon he was a, corner an outside corner on thirty
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: point thirty. Percent last year it jumped up to fifty one.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: Percent so he played in the slot with less frequency
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Now nicking And worry basically just he locked down that nickel.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Position uh you say he's a.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Safety they played him schematically just as A sam. Weinbacker
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: but THE nfl is going to call that. Nickel but
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: when they Played, dime which In mike McDonald's, world he
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: thinks of dimes as nickel Because Eamon worry thinks of
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: as a. Linebacker he said as such in prior to
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: the forty nine or playoff game last year in Mid. January,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: now When witherspoon he comes, in that's when you Had
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Reek woolen and and you had whoever on the.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Outside and.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: So Now i'm looking at him, saying can we Keep
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Devin witherspoon outside and when we want to play, dime
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Have Bud clark be one what's called an overhang defender apex.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: Defender there's different, terminology but it's, basically in these these spread,
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: situations if you anticipate a slot receiver on that side
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: of the, field the linebacker the nickel has to walk
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: out and whether he plays inside or outside leverage. Depends,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: generally if you have a too high, structure you're going
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: to play him on the. Inside if you have a
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: one high, structure you're going to play them on the.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Outside but an event you're kind of walked. Out and
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: the way they did that is they had in reg
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: in the you, know in their base, defense emon worry
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: would would generally be to the, field he's got to
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: cover more ground with his. Speed but then when they
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: Put witherspoon, inside when they dropped him from corner into
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: play the dime apex. Defender, remember now that's the guy
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: over the. Slot they would Have witherspoon to the, Field
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Emon worry into the. Boundary and so Now i'm, Looking i'm,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: saying what can Can Bud? Clark can he be the
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: guy that when they want to play the dime instead
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: of Bringing witherspoon?
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Inside do you would.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Then Have Emon worry on one outside guy over one,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: slot and you'd Have Bud clark over the other. Slot
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: and now you're able to Keep Devin witherspoon. Outside and,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: again just to repeat WHAT i had said at the,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Beginning mike McDonald took went from thirty Percent witherspoon outside
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: to fifty one. PERCENT i think that makes sense with
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: his skill set and his. FRAME i love him, inside
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: BUT i want him to stay, healthy right? Yeah and
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: so uh, yeah and you, know for what it's worth
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: on a, great great defense pistol to my, temple who
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: who is the weakest link on that defense from a year?
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Ago in my Pin not to say that he's a week,
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: link but you have to say the. WEAKEST i Think
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Josh job, was so you Lose greek. ONEING i already
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: think That Josh job was a little bit of a
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: of a, target you, KNOW i don't want to call
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: him a, pigeon because that's when you get somebody quarterbacks. Salivate,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Okay i'm really going to go after twenty. NINE i
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: don't think it was at that. Level but there's some
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: CONCERN i have about the. Corner SO i would prefer
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: to keep with. Us have the eye to Keep witherspoon
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: outside and keep except accentuating that, graph that trend of
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Keeping witherspoon more. Outside if you do, that you need
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: to have somebody to be able to be dynamic as
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: AN apex defender in over the, slot And Bud clark
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: would be a.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: CANDIDATE i get all eyes On Bud clark.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Today this will be my first, practice So i'm gonna
• 40:25
