• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Saturday was a beautiful day. So we're excited to get
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: back out on the field. All right.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk about all things Husky football,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: but I always close all of our conversations about asking
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: about your dining preferences around holidays so I want to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: start with it. So for Easter, are you just a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: ham guy? Do you go like egg salad? And do
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you just gnaw on like a three foot tall chocolate
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: bunny all day long? What do you do?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: What did I do?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: A very egg guy?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I love egg salad, But I didn't I think that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: My daughter and I had a little at our own
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Easter brunch. Je she came up to visit and we
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: were We had a great brunch over at Joey's in Bellevue,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and then we went to play tennis. So we had
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a great afternoon there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You go, all right, good to hear. Well, let's talk
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: some Husky football and I'm hearing a lot about how
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: freshmen are getting a long look at Husky spring practice.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Is that customary for you? I mean this, the games
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: don't count. Let's get them some reps where we can.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Or is it a sign of things to come? Do
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you have some freshmen that are going to see a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: lot of playing time this year in your crystal ball?
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean it's you know, it's customary for me
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and for our coaching staff to make sure that we're
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: giving everybody an opportunity if they're good enough. To play
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and not get wrapped up and how long they've been
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: here or how old they are. So some of the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: freshmen that we have here that just joined the program
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in January are in a position to make a huge
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: impact for us this coming season. In order to do that,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: we got to see him practice and we got to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: see him participate. And I believe we have twenty two
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: freshmen that are here already in January participating in spring ball.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And then you know, you've got a lot of red
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: shirt freshmen, a lot of guys that were here one
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: year last year. So we're a young we're a young
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: team in a lot of areas. We probably we probably
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: have fifty or so players under twenty so maybe maybe
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: even more than that, nineteen and eighteen years old. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: we're giving them all the opportunities to go play.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: There was also another story about an incident that occurred.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It sounds like Jordan Washington is fine, but I would
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: just ask a two part question, how is he? And
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: then secondly, what does that running back room look like
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as it's currently constructed for you?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jordan's doing well and right now, but you know
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: it's there's gonna be some rehab and recut reinvolved here,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna not see him the rest of spring. Okay,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: so we'll our running back room will be consistent of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Quaid car and then Brian Bonner and then Julian and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Han Sue and Rank and Moon and that group, and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: then what we're gonna you know, we we also have
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: two guys we brought in the portal and Trey Cooley
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and Jaden Lamar that are both going to be clear
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to participate come June. So in training camp we should
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: have a full deck, but not until then. So it's
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: gonna be a great opportunity for these young running backs
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to get a lot of more reps than they ever
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: would have jumped from getting.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and on a great opportunity this year for Washington.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I mean his speed just showed up. I mean it
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was so obvious. You always like a comment out there
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on the on the field a year ago, but you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you lose a Jonah Coleman, you also lost Mohammed and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: so is the path clear for Jordan Washington uh to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: be that guy to be the guy in your backfield
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this year?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Well? Uh, no, I'm not ready to say that. You know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: First of all, we got to make you know, we
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: got to see Jordan's health before anything, before we make
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: any decisions. Secondly, you know, Quaid car I felt like
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: he's exceptionally an exceptional talent. I thought we we absolutely
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: got very lucky. And now that at the same time,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: we got him at the very very.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: End of recruiting and I believe.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: That he's a special talent as a runner. Uh. Then
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: on top of that, you know, we have to see
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: my My hope is.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: That Jaden Lamar.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Is everything that I felt he was coming out of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: high school and we tried to get you know, Jaden
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: was our top guy on the recruiting board and when
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: we the year after Jonahs, So you know, my hope
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: is that he you know, even though he didn't pick
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: us first time around, hopefully this time around he's our guy. So,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you know, we've got Jaden, and then I think Tray Cooley,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I had a fantastic freshman year in junior year at
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: both Louisville and Georgia Tech, and we're going to need
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: something out of him as well. And then we'll see,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you know what, Brian Bonner and and then hopefully, obviously
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: depending on how Jordan's doing, how much we can get
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: out of Jordan.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Jeed Fish is with US head ball coach of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Washington Huskies football program. Of course, joining us here on
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the program, spring ball coming up Dogs after Dark or
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: spring ball is happening? Dogs after Dark is coming up
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: on May first. We'll talk more about that in a moment.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the physicality, what's your general rule on how
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: physical you like to see spring practice? And then I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: would expand on that. There's a lot of talk about
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: moving spring practice around into the future. What would be
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: your ideal time to have it?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the it's it's such an interesting conversation.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: On the NFL, there's no physicality aim the spring. Yeah,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the only physicality that occurs is in training camp in
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the games.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I still think this is a developmental league.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're prepared to just take on
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the approach of no pads in the summer. I had
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: no pads until training camp, you know, like the NFL does.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: And if you push it too late, you can't really
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: go with pads. So I you know, I probably am
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: on the side of I think this is about as
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: late as you can practice in pads, which is what
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: we're doing right now in April. If you go too early,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know, I feel like it's a little close to
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the end of the season. If you go too late,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I think you're at a risk of too much, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: injury that could affect the early part of the season.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: So I am more on the side of if we're
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: gonna keep springball as spring ball, which I'm totally fine with,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you know, we should keep it under the same rules
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and regulations as it's always been. If we're going to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: adjust it then and go to an NFL model, then
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: we need to go to an NFL an NFL model
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: regarding what we're wearing gear wise, And then I do
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: believe we're gonna we're gonna have some really, really really
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: bad tackling in September. We're gonna have some really really
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: bad run games in September, and by the time everything
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: gets good, I believe you're gonna be looking at not
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: nearly the type of product that we're accustomed to.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Are we that close to a decision on this on
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: how this is gonna look in the future, because I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: would imagine for a head coach, it's kind of frustrating
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to not know how this is gonna be handled. In
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: future years.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you know, I've said tor Ad and
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I've said to others within the league, soles is we
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: change every year on what the new rules are. Right now,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: it is we are not in a place where we
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: have any consistency regarding the transfer portal, regarding how we're
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: going to practice, regarding the way rules are going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: be officiated. So we have to make this a a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: every years it's own entity. You know, you got to
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: microwave your team together. You don't have the time to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you know, preheat the oven. So with all of that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: being the case, if at the end of the season,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they come to me and they say, next year, we're
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: going to you know, we're going to practice with no
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: pads on, and it's going to be in June, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: we'll adjust then. But right now, we're focusing on getting
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: our team as prepared as we can to have a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: great spring game on May one. I'm hopeful that we're
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: going to be able to have the type of spring
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: game that I've had the last five years as a
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: head coach, which is one in which it's physical, one
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: of which we tackle, one of which we split the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: teams in half, one of which we go through a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: game sequence, and you know, as long as we can
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: stay healthy for these next ten sessions, that's what we're
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: going to do.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And how important is it for Husky fans to be
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a part of this This Dog's after Dark in Jed
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Fish's book, I mean, how much do you urge people
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to come out and be a part of this to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: make this Husky to grow this Husky program.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I love it. I wanted to be I wanted to
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: be packed. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I have
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: memories of my college experience and going out to the
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Orange and Blue game and there was fifty fifty thousand people,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: sixty thousand people at the Orange and Blue game. The
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: coaching staff was split in half. I have taken the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: exact place book of coach Spurrier on how to run
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a spring game, and we do that to a t,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: exactly how we did it in nineteen ninety eight, nineteen
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: ninety nine, two thousand, and that's what we're doing still
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: currently today. So I thought it was the most fun,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, I was whether I was a student not
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: involved in football, or whether I was involved in football,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: it was the spring game was such a great Saturday
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: afternoon or Friday evening in our caides for a couple
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: hours and just see your football team, go watch a game.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, don't we all miss football? So you get
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a chance to go watch it, and then when when
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it's over, you go back to your usual summer and
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: spring routine and then pick it back up in the fall.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Jed Fish is with US Husky's head football coach, Dogs
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: after Dark coming up May first, six thirty, and of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: course we'll cover it right here on the flagship sports
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Well, obviously an interesting
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: offseason story with your quarterback demand Williams juniorary. Is he
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: right now? His headspace is uh? His practices? How do
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: you feel about demon right now?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Isn't a great place? We've had really three really good practices.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: You know, he's been Uh, he's been great in the
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: meeting room. I've gotten to be a lot more involved
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: in the day to day QB meetings, which has been
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: so much fun. Uh to be around him more in
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: that regard and continue to work with him on the
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: overall game of football and then the overall game of life. Uh.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: He's just been with Tea and his teammates and there
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: was a big The quarterbacks all had Easter brunch together
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: and then all went to church together and it was
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: some great pictures. They all went out golfing on Saturday
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: afternoon after we practiced, and I think there's an incredible
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: bond right now within that quarterback room and uh and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: with our team, and it's really it's really great to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: see it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: What, if anything, do you think he learned from that entire.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Ordeal That he's under an enormous microscope, and that when
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: you're the face of a franchise or when you're somebody
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that is taking on a lot of you know, financial
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: compensation but also team responsibility, that your decisions are going
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to have, you know, major ramifications. So really take a
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: deep breath and you know, aim twice, shoot once. And
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, you know, I think for him it
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: was just a matter of like, all right, let me
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: wrap my head around what's happening, let me understand the situation,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and rather than just react or feel the pressure of others,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and just recognize, like, hey, you know, you've had some
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: really good advice in your life and then you've had
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: him not so good advice, and you've got to be
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: able to separate the two and recognize that, you know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you're in a really good situation right now. And I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: think he did realize that he has realized that. I'm
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: so impressed with his growth. And you know, we had
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald here this past weekend, we had Joe Barry,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Chris Furster, all on our coaching clinic and all in
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: our practice on Saturday, coaches from four different NFL teams
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and just watching him in a rack, watching him run up,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: introduce himself, shake their hand, looked him in the eye,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: you know, not have to be sought after.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a pretty cool thing to just
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: watch his growth. Well.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: In our last couple of minutes, if you don't mind,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn you into analysts. We do a lot
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: on the NFL Draft on this show, and so you've
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: got a little bit of insight into the three guys
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you about. Tell me about Denzel Boston,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the NFL draft prospect.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I think that he's absolutely a very high
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: level starter in the NFL once he gets in there,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and he's going to be one of the top two
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: receivers on any given teams. So when guys are looking
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: for a receiver, in the draft. They're going to find
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: somebody that understands NFL systems, understands, you know, how to
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: be coached in a system that's being used probably around
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: sixteen teams around the league. And a big, physical, talk
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: wide receiver that's gonna have a ton of production. So
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about seeing where he gets up.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Coleman oh Man.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: High, highest quality of person you could ever find. Smart,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: gets it, great, teammate, loves loves the game of football.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Will certainly bring value in all assets on all phases,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: I should say, in uh, pass protection, in past catching,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and in running the football. He's one of the best
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: running backs in this year's draft, and somebody's going to
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: be very lucky to get him on their team.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Seahawks guy have a hole. I mean, did you talk
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to McDonald about that when he was over there?
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I take the fifth, all right, I sucked.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Anybody that'll listen about Jonah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I'll give you one more. One more Tacario Davis. All
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that length at cornerback. I mean, the NFL now loves
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: its long cornerbacks. How good will Davis be at the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: next level, do you think?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Both to Carrio and Ephesians, you know, I've had him
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: both for had them both for four years, and they
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: both committed with US in twenty twenty two and came
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: to Arizona. And these guys are a special special players.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And you wanted six foot four corner that runs four
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: four five four four, one that can you know, make
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: plays on the ball, and it's very hard to complete
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: go balls against. I think both those guys are going
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: to be drafted in the first four rounds, and I'm
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: hopeful that, you know, one of them may be in
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the first two rounds. So I really am holding out
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: hope that carrio As continues to shine. And I know
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: that price Sock is going to be a phenomenal corner
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: as well.

  Speaker 1: Chuck and Buck in the morning. Yeah, springball going on
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: as we speak, he's got a few things to do.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: I think he turned down my offer. I wasn't gonna
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: pay him either.
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Volunteering to be up at six yeah, I wouldn't do
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: that either.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Plus I was going to make him were the visor
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in well, I.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Think he would just do that naturally. That might be
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: a selling point the draftmas visor.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Oh draft.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe I could buy him a draft MEAs visor, like
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a special draft misdvisor.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: He'd feel very very welcome.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Send it to him to thank him for coming on
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: this morning. It's not a bad idea.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'll just say this.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: In the past, we have purchased gifts, huh for a
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: Husky head football coach.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It's true, that's true.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: It hasn't gone well.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well that's what I'm saying. If you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: showed up every day at six am, we can Yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: then we could maybe ward him.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: We could give him a gift every day versus just
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: blowing our wat on one.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Big gift, right, Yeah, per appearance, Yeah, you have to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: get it. Well, we'll buy it after correct, do you appear?
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: You show up first.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Dogs after Darks coming up May first six point thirty.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's going to be on a Friday, So you know,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: if you haven't made pies, I mean, coaches really do,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: they really want this to be a monstrous thing. And
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and you know in the South it has become that.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: It hasn't become that everywhere. And it's a good thing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's always been a good thing to very good thing
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: here at Washington, but they always want it to be bigger, yeah, bolder.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: They wanted to you know, people, they wanted to appear
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: on Sports Center that day because they can't believe how
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: many people showed up for dogs after dark and took
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: their boats and parked them outside and all of that stuff. So, yeah,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: if you've never attended one before, maybe this is the year. Yeah,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't interfere with the Draft this year, which
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: in the past it sometimes has often has, But it's
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: its own thing on a Friday night. It's really not
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: in the dark, but it is at six thirty in
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the dusk. Yeah, Dogs in the dusk is right. But

  Speaker 1: so high here as of late, as the Krakens seem
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to be limping toward the finish line here on this season,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a year that is going to come up short of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: making the Stanley Cup playoffs. Last night, a six to

  Speaker 1: but he's on the radio side right now. I do
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: believe he's joined us. Evert fits you is with us
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the voice of your Seattle crack in. Good morning, sir,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm all right. I wish we were talking
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: under better circumstances, but yeah, this team is just not
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: playing good hockey right now, and we are watching the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: possibility of the playoffs slip right through their their fingers
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: at this point. Are you all surprised, you know, as
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: somebody that has watched them every day, that this is
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: how they're finishing about as weekly and meekly as as
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: they are.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think a lot of people are surprised.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: And obviously, you know, you look around social media and
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: then you read all the comments. I mean, the fans
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: are understandably justifiably upset, But I promise the people out
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: there listen for as angry as as they are, you know, internally,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: you know, folks here just as upset, if not more so.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: This is one of those unexplainable things that out of
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: the Olympic break you're three points back of first place.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, I remember coming back from the Olympics and
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: we're practicing a CASEI We're about to leave to go
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: to Dallas for that back to back out of the break,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm saying to myself, man, we could be talking
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: about raising a division better here in Seattle. You know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: the deadlines coming up. What are the crack you're going
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: to do for the first time, it doesn't seem like
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: this team is really going to be a seller. You know,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: it was exciting times and that was what six weeks ago,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: not even five weeks ago. So this collapse the last
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: you know, month and a half has been something that
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: is very frustrating. It's very annoying, it's very maddening, and
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: they're really does not see to be any explanation for it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, you talk to the coaches, you talk to
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: the players in the dressing room, I mean they're they're
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: just as baffled and as dumbfounded as everyone else.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I was going to ask about that. But
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: if that's the answer is that we don't really have
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: an answer as to why this has happened. It just
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: seems to me Everett effort has come up, which I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: would think for a hockey player that would be the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: biggest slap in the face for why we aren't winning,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: is that we're not giving one hundred percent or that
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the effort is being questioned. I would think that that
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: would be as great an insult as you could give
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a hockey player. Maybe that's not the reason, but it
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: just seems like it's popping up in conversations.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what, well, number one, you're right. I mean,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: if somebody and I don't care if if it's hockey,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: if it's baseball, if you're a world class chess player,
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. If you're accused of not give the effort,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be a little ticked off. So uh, you know.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: But but I do think that again, when you when
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: you listen to the folks inside, there is a you know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: we're not sure what it is. We're getting beat on.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Battles LEYE. Lambert last week, you know, probably two weeks ago,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: probably one of the one of the best quotes I
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: think I've heard from a coach, although it was in
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: a negative capacity. He said that this team has to
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: be better at doing things that don't require talent. You know,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: it doesn't require talent to win a puck race. It
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: doesn't require talent to battle on the boards. It doesn't
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: require talent to not give up the puck through the
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: neutral zone. And there's a lot of that going off.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: We saw a lot of it last night as well,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: but also, or actually more so than Kyle games last night, unfortunately,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: there were just a lot of bad bounces, pucks off
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the inboards, pucks deflect it off of player sticks. I mean,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: that was a Murphy's long game last right, Everything that
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: did go wrong, it could go wrong, did go wrong,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: and you're you're scratching your head because looking back at
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: the Winnipeg game, it wasn't a terrible game, but very
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: slowly to a few games a couple of a game
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. It's Tampa. Everything that did
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: go wrong, could go wrong, did go wrong for Seattle.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Ever fits you is whether it's voice of your Seattle
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: cracking right here on the flagship sports Radio ninety three
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: point three kh A r f M. And certainly not
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: to put you in an uncomfortable position, uh there with
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the organization. But what is the expectation for the offseason
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: major shakeup? I mean, I can't believe another coaching change
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is in the offing at this stage different Captaincy. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: mean there's got to be some sort of reaction to
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: this from a front office that and a and an
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: ownership group that is really die hard about winning. And
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: yet do you have a picture as to what that's
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: going to look like yet?
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you Leiye Lambert. I mean he
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: isn't going anywhere. And this this issue that the team
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: has been having this season. I mean, this isn't coaching.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: If anything, Layne Lambert, the style that he brought in,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: we saw that it worked. I mean, this was a
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: style of play for the Krack and that worked for
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: the first sixty games of the season. So Laye Lambert,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: He's not the problem. Coaching isn't the problem. I mean
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: when you look at the roster, I think this is
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: a roster building problem. We've talked so many times about
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: how the Kraken don't have you know, the votify a
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: superstar love I love I Ferness's phrase, you know the
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: crack and don't have an aircraft's carrier. And you look
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: at last night against Winnipeg. You've got Kyle Connor and
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Mark Seifeley, a dynamic duo that are routinely getting eighty
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: to ninety points a season. You know, every team as
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: a dynamic duo at least two guys. You know, remember
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: the phenomenon in basketball, the Big three that we had
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: for a long time. Well, in the NHL, you need
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: these duos, and the Kracking are still looking for the
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: first piece of that duo. So typically you'd like to
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: build through the free agency market, but this year the
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: free agency class is not the best. I mean, Bobby
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: McMahon probably right now, is going to be your biggest
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: free agency chip around the league. So the Kracking would
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: love to keep him around. But the job that he's
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: done in these last twelve games, I mean, so with
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: every other team they'd love to get a guy like
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Bobby mcmah. So I think we're Seattle is going to
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: really have to focus on is using some of the assets.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: We talk a lot about the draft capital the Krack
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: and have and all the prospects that that we have.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: You know, this team's got four first round picks in
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: the next two drafts. This year is going to be
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: a pretty strong draft. Next year from what we're hearing,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of kids who are supposed to be
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: you know, in the top five, top seven of next
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: year's draft as well. So you've got some really good
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: prospects coming out. You've got some good prospects in your
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: minor league system. Obviously, you're going to have some UFAs
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: on this roster that are probably going to find a
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: whole mouse fare, So that'll free up some space and
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: some money. And I think for the Krack and I
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: mean this, if there's ever a time to get aggressive,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: it's going to be this summer. And for me, make
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: me an offer. I mean, there are there are a
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: few guys on this roster that maybe you would consider untouchable,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: but you know, listen, they make me an offer. And
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I think that ownership, I know management for sure, they
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: are definitely committed and they are going to turn this
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: thing around. And I understand that it looks bleak right now,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: but this is something that ownership is aware of, that
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: management is aware of. No one's happy, no one's happy
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: in the offices. So I do think that we've heard
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: it time and time again. But I mean, this is
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: a monumental offseason coming up for Seattle.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, and I always hear this. I mean,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I think maybe it's time to
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: make that aggressive trade. But I also think back to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: like the draft. You know, I keep hearing about how
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: hard it is to find that special player, But through
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the draft, it looks like Chicago's found one in Badard,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and Utah's found one in Cooley, and Buffalo's found one
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: in Thompson and San Jose's found one in Celebrini. I mean,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Shane Wright can't even get above the third line right
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: now on this team, and he was supposed to be
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: a special draft pick. And Beniers, you know, it looks
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: like a good player, but I'm wondering if he's going
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: to be any more than that. So, I mean, I
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, maybe it's not about a trade.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's not about a free agent Everett. Maybe it
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: is you got to hit in the draft, and it
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: feels like some other teams have done it where the
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Kraken have not.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's funny because when you're right, you're correct.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: A lot of these teams, a lot of these stars
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: are built in the draft. And I think it was
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: on this show. I said it last week, like, hey,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: you know, everybody would love a Maclin Celebrady. Everybody would
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: love a Conter Bdard, but you know what has to
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: happen to get a maclin sealabradi at a counter Bard.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: So uh, you know that that's kind of the double
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: edged sword, right. You know the prospects that the Kraken
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: do have. I mean, you look at a player like
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Berkeley Catton. You know he's coming off of back to
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: back hundred points seasons in the Western Hockey League. You
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: know he's going to be a good player for this team.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Shane Wright, I think this development maybe is taking a
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: little bit longer than you'd like, but there's still I
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: think is a is a very long runway and a
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: very high ceiling for Shane. Right. Matty Veneers, I mean
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: he won the Calders NHL Rookie of the Year year
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: one had the sophomore slump. I mean, anybody not named
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Codder McDavid or Nathan McKinnon, and you're going to have
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: a sophomore slump. It just the way it is as
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: the league adjusts to you. Now, Matty Vaneers has added
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: a really strong defensive aspect and he's probably one of
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: the best defensive two way centerment that we have in
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: the Pacific Division right now. So he's still under twenty
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: five years old, twenty four years old, so he still
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: has a lot of ceiling left in him. So I
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: do think while maybe the development of these players is
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit slower than folks would like, I still
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: think that they're on the right path. I do still
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: think that these will be impact players for Seattle. And
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: then we're talking about maclin Se Labrini, Powder Badard and
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Colder McDavid. These are generational talents and I'm not saying
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: that Shane Wrights and Maddy Vaneers are scrubs by any
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: stretch of the imagination. But you only get a Lebron
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: James want the generation. You only get that player once
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: a decade. So when you even Gavin McKenna, everyone, you know,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: the big name coming out this year is Gavin McKenna,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: who was in medicine, had of the Western Hockey League.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: He then goes to Penn State and I think his
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: game has been exposed a little bit. Everyone was talking
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: about Gavin McKenna was going to come into the NHL
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: next year and put up you know, one hundred points.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: He might not play in the NHL next year. I
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: mean he may be having to go to the American
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: League to get some seasoning for pro hockey. So it
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: is so rare. These these fines are so rare, and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: oftentimes you have to be bad for a very long time.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: You look at the Edmonton Oilers of the two thousands,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: they missed the playoffs ten straight years. In those ten
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: straight years, they had five number one overall picks and
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: the fifth overall. The fifth number one overall pick they
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: had was Connor McDavid. So it took them ten years
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: and Connor McDavid to find you get out of that slump.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: So it's very difficult. It does happen, but you're hoping
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: that one of these players the cracking have gotten in
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: this draft the last five years. You're looking at a
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: pretty potentially high pick this season. You're hoping that those
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: guys come in here and can offer immediate dividends for
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: your franchise.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Well, A heavier conversation than normal a fitting I think
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: for the mood right now, and yet I don't want
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: to end that way. So in our last thirty seconds,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: what do you hope are left over in the easter basket,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: your son's Easter basket? Chocolate bars or jelly beans?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Honestly, Okay, give me the chocolate bars. Yeah, yeah, okay,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I'll take that. And also, real quick before we go,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I get to my hotel last night. You'll love this story.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I get to my hotel last night, come upstairs, open
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: my window. I overlooked Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, the lights are on. What's going
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: on over there? There's a baseball game obviously. Guess who
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: they're played this week here at home? The Detroit Tigers.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, so Mike might be on the call tonight.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I might take a baseball day, check out a few innings. Yeah,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I'll be on for the second period, so Michael have
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: to have pre and first, and I'll come strolling in after.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Those. Two teams have played a lot of cold baseball
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: games so far this year.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: I remember when I was I was I was probably
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: middle school, I think, and my mom said, Hey, we're
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: taking the day off. We're going to a baseball game.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: It was early in the season, and I was so happy.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I show up. I'm all literally bundled up in a
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: parka with gloves and handwarmers and a hat. It was
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: probably twenty eight degrees outside. There was a foot of
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: snow on the ground outside of the ballpark, and to
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: this day it's one of my best childhood memories, going
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: to a freezing cold Tigers Twins baseball game on April
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: eighty fifth in Detroit.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: I can't put my arms down, Miguel Cabrera, I can't
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: put my arms down. All right, man, we'll talk to
• 36:05

• 37:56
  Speaker 5: Probably not for you, brown Man.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Well, good morning, see you, Happy Draftmas to you all.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: We are in our second week. We're now five full days.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: We had rob ring on a little earlier and we
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: are introducing our final brand new feature of the new
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Draftmas season. It is Miracle at thirty fourth pick.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Perfect, yes, cent' wait to find out what we do here?
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Actually has no idea. I don't well. The idea is that,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people are saying that it's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: not that great of a draft, and the Seahawks, of course,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: as world champs, don't pick until the end of the round,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: first round, second round, third round. So I don't know
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: if the expectations are all that high to pull off
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: something miraculous in the draft this year. You're probably thinking,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: let's just get solid. We're not going to be able
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: to do anything special in the draft with only four
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: picks and picking at the end of the first, second,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and third round. So I think people are a little
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: bit in that mindset, and I say you need to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: quit on that. You gotta keep believing. You got to
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: keep believing the something special could happen. And so let's
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: go through a scenario of a miracle at thirty fourth pick.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: You got to keep believing the big guy will make
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: miracles happen, the big guy being John Schneider, of course.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Because I believe that the Seahawks at thirty two are
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: trading down and it's sounding more and more including that
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: was reiterated by Rob rang this morning that Ty Simpson
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: seems to be falling down the draft boards at this point,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: despite dan Orlowski's every effort, and he might fall all
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the way to the end of the first round. And
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: as Rob said today, something that I've been saying that
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: would be the ideal scenario for the Seahawks right is
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: to get Simpson to fall to thirty two. They don't
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: want him move out of there. Get a little bit
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: more than what you would have customarily gotten for the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: thirty second pick, because there's a quarterback that we're talking
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: about here, and so there's part one of the miracle
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: is that Simpson does fall and see it's coming together.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And so obviously if the segments called miracle at thirty
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: fourth pick, what pick are we going to keep in mind? Well,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: guess what. The Arizona Cardinals and the New York Jets
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: are the two teams that seem most interested in Simpson
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and yet the Arizona is not going to take him
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: at third overall, I would think not even if they
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: do this Dallas Cowboys trade that's being talked about right now,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they would take him at twelve overall.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even think the Jets will take him at
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: sixteen overall, and yet the Jets might take him at
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: thirty three. So what happens The Cardinals are going to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: have to jump the Jets to get to the end
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: of the first round at thirty two. So suddenly, now
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: we've got the thirty fourth pick in the draft, plus
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: we picked up a fifth rounder in the process. That's
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just going off the draft value chart. I think
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you would get even more than that because we're talking
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: about a quarterback being involved. But let's just hold it
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: right there at the thirty fourth picks moved to the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: thirty fourth pick. Well, no miracles happen at the thirty
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: fourth pick, right, can't possibly happen?
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: Don't doubt? Father draft mass.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't send a letter to Santa asking
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: for my ideal pick and he's gonna be there at
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: thirty four. Oh is that right? Because the Seahawks just
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: a year ago picnic Am and Wori at the thirty
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: fifth pick. You can't get much dreamier than that.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: He's pretty miraculous.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: So if you can get em and Worri at thirty five,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: imagine Ashley what you could do at thirty four.
• 41:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh, the possibilities are endless.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: And I've picked up a fifth rounder, which John has
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: pulled off miracle after miracle after miracle in the fifth round,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Michael Dixon, Okay, maybe not miraculous,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: but pretty great, pretty great, I mean, and then quality
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: picks over the years like Luke Wilson and Rique and
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Neemiah Pritchett, and now I guess this Riley Mills is
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: making them pretty excited over there at the vMac in
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Actually they didn't have a fifth round pick.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: That was the Malik McDowell draft, so they have to
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: have a fifth round pick just to feel hole. And
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: so you've pulled off miracles in the fifth You've pulled
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: off miracles lower than the thirty fourth pick, So why
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: can't you pull off a miracle at thirty fourth pick
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: this year? I believe see, And that's really all you
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: have to do. So there you have it. Jadarian Price
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: trade down, perhaps get him at thirty four and then
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: at one forty three. Let's talk about Caden Curry, who
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: we brought up in our draft miss catalog on the
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: edge rushers out of Ohio State and maybe you've got
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: a miracle. Maybe you've got a miracle. Couple of selections
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: there for the Seattle Seahawks.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, and people don't belie leave in the spirit
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: of draft miss.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Letters got sent to me today and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: poured all over my death your morning I saw.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, the listeners can see too.
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: See there's a piece of paper though over there on
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: your left to see that, put on your desk.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, this whole satchel right over here is full letters
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that have been sent in I believe it right on
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: the other side of the room, which you can't see
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: with the cameras, piles and piles of letters.
• 43:26
  Speaker 6: Well that's why we don't have a camera over there,
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: because it looks messy, so many letters.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: Dear father, draftmath make me a miracle, a miracle. At
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: thirty fourth pick a right, Coming up next, Michigan's wont
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: to Natty. What can we as Seattle sports fans and
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: what can you as Seattle sports executives learn from this?
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about in next Sports Radio ninety three point
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: three kjr FM. Let that fill your heart, Cardinal fans,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: that's right, Dolphin fans. I hope you're paying attention there
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: in the back. You never are fingers are always ups.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, better than your butt.
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: I guess, just keep believing you'll get there. Mommy said
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: the spirit of Draftmas.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: One day that picks will fallow your way.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: Probably not for you browns und Yeah.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Well, good morning to you, Happy Draftmas to you all.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: We are in our second week. We're now five full days.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: We had Rob rang on a little earlier, and we
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: are introducing our final brand new feature of the new

  Speaker 1: Draftmas season. It is miracle at thirty fourth pick perfect.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: Yes, cent't wait to find out what we do here.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Actually has no idea. I don't Well. The idea is that,

  Speaker 1: go through a scenario of a miracle at thirty fourth pick.

  Speaker 6: You got to keep believing the big guy will make

• 46:32
  Speaker 1: and yet the Arizona's not going to take him at
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: third overall.
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: I would think not.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Even if they do this Dallas Cowboys trade that's being
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: talked about right now, I don't know if they would
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: take him at twelve overall. I don't even think the
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Jets will take him at sixteen overall. And yet the
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Jets might take him at thirty three. So what happens
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals are going to have to jump the Jets
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to get to the end of the first round at
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: thirty two. So suddenly, now we've got the thirty fourth
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft, plus we picked up a fifth
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: rounder in the process. That's I'm just going off the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: draft value chart. I think you would get even more
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: than that because we're talking about a quarterback being involved.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: But let's just hold it right there at the thirty
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: fourth picks. We've moved to the thirty fourth pick. Well,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: no miracles happen at the thirty fourth pick, right, Oh,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: can't possibly happen.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: Don't doubt father draft mass.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can't send a letter to Santa asking
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: for my ideal pick and he's going to be there
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: at thirty four. Oh is that right? Because the Seahawks
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: just a year ago picnic Am and Wori at the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: thirty fifth pick. You can't get much dreamier than that.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: He's pretty miraculous.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: So if you can get em and Worri at thirty five,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: imagine Ashley what you could do at thirty four.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, the possibilities are endless.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: And I've picked up a fifth rounder, which John Is
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: pulled off miracle after miracle after miracle in the fifth round,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Cam Chancellor, Richard Sherman, Michael Dixon. Okay, maybe not miraculous,
