- 1:10Speaker 2: I need you. I don't have the strength, the stamina,
- 1:13Speaker 2: the energy to do a whole hour without taking some
- 1:15Speaker 2: commercial breaks. Also, for all of you always complained about
- 1:18Speaker 2: how long our commercial breaks are. This is your hour
- 1:20Speaker 2: two o'clock today. More on that in a second. I
- 1:22Speaker 2: will tell you this and this. We'll go be We'll
- 1:25Speaker 2: peel the curtain back a wee bit. So on Friday,
- 1:28Speaker 2: we had Hugh Millin and Greg Cosel together, the minds
- 1:33Speaker 2: of football that cannot be topped by any radio station
- 1:36Speaker 2: in the country. When you put those two guys together,
- 1:38Speaker 2: it was fantastic. The Seahawk bye week, We've done this
- 1:40Speaker 2: two years in a row now, where Greg joins us
- 1:43Speaker 2: every Friday, and I've invited Hugh to come on and
- 1:46Speaker 2: kind of just run it just Hugh. You talked to
- 1:48Speaker 2: Greg and go during the bye week because there's no
- 1:50Speaker 2: game to preview or talk about so we did that Friday,
- 1:52Speaker 2: and as I thought would happen, and this is what
- 1:55Speaker 2: did happen. There's so much for those two guys to discuss,
- 1:59Speaker 2: so much that I just want to sit back and
- 2:00Speaker 2: listen to that. We didn't have time to get to.
- 2:03Speaker 2: You know, we only got halfway through. We did the defense.
- 2:06Speaker 2: So today at two o'clock through the first seven weeks
- 2:09Speaker 2: of the season, Great co Selle hu Millen talk all
- 2:12Speaker 2: Seahawks football at two o'clock and they'll talk offense and
- 2:18Speaker 2: from Sam Darnold to JSN to the offensive line, to
- 2:21Speaker 2: the tight ends, to everything you want to get to
- 2:24Speaker 2: running backs, et cetera. So that's coming up at two
- 2:26Speaker 2: o'clock today, and we taped it on Friday. That's going
- 2:29Speaker 2: behind the curtain. But we're doing those guys Friday. So
- 2:31Speaker 2: there's more we got to get. We gotta get the
- 2:33Speaker 2: offense booms. We did that. That's in the two o'clock hour.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Soft Deal join us as he always does for a
- 2:38Speaker 2: few minutes as well. We've got Factor Fiction at two o'clock,
- 2:40Speaker 2: two two thirty five. I should say, but I'm gonna
- 2:45Speaker 2: throw something out. I'm gonna ask the Molly Whoppers. We
- 2:47Speaker 2: have our final Molliwop segment that's scheduled of the year
- 2:53Speaker 2: coming up today at one with Nathan and Chris. Our
- 2:58Speaker 2: final one big thanks to simply Seattle for their support
- 3:02Speaker 2: all year. So our final mallywoper at one twenty and
- 3:05Speaker 2: we'll take it all the way up till two o'clock
- 3:07Speaker 2: with the boys, and we'll look back on the season,
- 3:11Speaker 2: and we'll look ahead to the off season, and we'll
- 3:14Speaker 2: look ahead to salary caps and all that stuff. But
- 3:17Speaker 2: I do a weekly hit on Czech television BC a
- 3:22Speaker 2: station up in British Columbia MPEN Vancouver with two guys,
- 3:25Speaker 2: my buddies, Donnie and Dolly. They have a great show.
- 3:28Speaker 2: We do it every Monday at ten fifteen. And so
- 3:31Speaker 2: I did it today and they asked me a question,
- 3:34Speaker 2: and I thought, that's a hell of a question. I
- 3:35Speaker 2: might just go ahead and steal that for the Molly Whoppers,
- 3:37Speaker 2: but steal it for you as well and all. Paul Moyer,
- 3:42Speaker 2: Dave Softy Maller, you know, Twitter fights aside, everyone handles
- 3:48Speaker 2: and has different emotions. But here we are seven days later,
- 3:52Speaker 2: and now we've heard from GM. Justin Hollander, President of
- 3:56Speaker 2: Baseball Operations, Jerry Depoto, Dan Wilson, Jess you were there
- 3:59Speaker 2: last week for the new conference. We played a bunch
- 4:02Speaker 2: of Jerry on the station last week as well. But
- 4:05Speaker 2: one week later, these guys asked me this goes, how
- 4:07Speaker 2: would you they go in what's going on down? They're like,
- 4:09Speaker 2: how would you describe, you know, like, like the season,
- 4:11Speaker 2: the Mariner's season as a whole, now that you've had
- 4:14Speaker 2: a week to kind of settle on it. And I'm
- 4:15Speaker 2: gonna ask the guys that today because when we first
- 4:17Speaker 2: talked last week, it was just the raw motion. All
- 4:20Speaker 2: we did was spend time on the game and the
- 4:22Speaker 2: decisions in the game. We didn't really get a chance
- 4:25Speaker 2: to look back at the season. And now we kind
- 4:26Speaker 2: of can and look back at a season that saw
- 4:29Speaker 2: the Mariners win their first division titles since two thousand
- 4:31Speaker 2: and one, get to the postseason, get to the ALCS,
- 4:35Speaker 2: obviously not advance, which you know, if we're being on us,
- 4:39Speaker 2: we're disappointed. Hell, they're disappointed, so of course we are.
- 4:42Speaker 2: But how would you describe the Mariner's season? And I
- 4:45Speaker 2: want to hear from you, guys say, well, plenty of
- 4:47Speaker 2: time to get talkbacks in and text today four nine
- 4:49Speaker 2: four or five one on the still unrestricted free agent
- 4:51Speaker 2: text line or we love the talkbacks. Those are their
- 4:54Speaker 2: favorites talk back line. All you have to do is
- 4:56Speaker 2: go to the iHeartRadio app, which you click on the
- 4:59Speaker 2: red microphone and if you're at ninety three point three
- 5:01Speaker 2: k r FM part of the IHEARTRADIOPP, hopefully that's already
- 5:03Speaker 2: preset for you, very easy to find red microphone speak
- 5:05Speaker 2: for thirty seconds or less. And the question that I'm
- 5:08Speaker 2: gonna ask Nathan and Chris coming up, and that I
- 5:11Speaker 2: was asked today, I mean, how would you describe this
- 5:13Speaker 2: Mariner season? Now that it's over and we've moved on success, failure, opportunity, lost,
- 5:21Speaker 2: hell of a run, all the above, good, bad and different?
- 5:25Speaker 2: How would you describe the season as a whole? We
- 5:26Speaker 2: can kind of put a bow on everything, and we
- 5:28Speaker 2: want to hear from you guys specifically today, and we'll
- 5:30Speaker 2: have plenty of time at the two o'clock hour to
- 5:32Speaker 2: do so after you and Greg talks Seahawks offense at
- 5:35Speaker 2: two o'clock and so we'll ask the boys that coming
- 5:38Speaker 2: up at at one twenty and then we'll take it
- 5:41Speaker 2: from there. We'll go through what you know. I mean,
- 5:43Speaker 2: everyone knows, everyone thinks and everyone believes that rightfully. So
- 5:46Speaker 2: probably Josh Nayler is your is your off season priority.
- 5:49Speaker 2: But we'll talk about salary and maybe somewhat restricted in
- 5:53Speaker 2: terms of what they want to spend. Sounds like around
- 5:55Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty five million or something like that.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Chris is really good with that stuff to find out
- 6:00Speaker 2: what you can get for that money, for example. But
- 6:03Speaker 2: we'll go down that road a little bit with those
- 6:04Speaker 2: guys coming up today at one twenty and just kind
- 6:07Speaker 2: of put an end of the year bowl on everything
- 6:09Speaker 2: as well. A couple of things. One real quick, not
- 6:13Speaker 2: going to get a daily power play in today. We'll
- 6:15Speaker 2: resume that tomorrow at God, are we gonna be able
- 6:19Speaker 2: to do that tomorrow? We need to. We'll find a way.
- 6:21Speaker 2: We may even sneak one in today at some point
- 6:23Speaker 2: during the two o'clock hour.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Went well, we do have extra time, We do that
- 6:26Speaker 3: extra time, and we do have a Lambert update on Cogo,
- 6:29Speaker 3: so we might need to sneak that in.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Why don't you that we have that? Sound right, so
- 6:33Speaker 2: let's do that. Let's do that maybe after Hugh and
- 6:37Speaker 2: and Greg we'll do that one. I'll save my cracking
- 6:39Speaker 2: thoughts until then. By the way, I did mentioned this
- 6:41Speaker 2: and updates they had today, yesterday and today off. They're
- 6:44Speaker 2: back at it tomorrow with Montreal seven point thirty a
- 6:47Speaker 2: little later face off the normal seven o'clock pregame. Montreal
- 6:50Speaker 2: is really good. They cracking. Loss of them in overtime.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I'll get the overtimes and the shootouts mixed up is overtime.
- 6:56Speaker 2: They lost to Montreal last week. Montreal's best team in
- 6:59Speaker 2: their division right now. Really good young team. Seattle five
- 7:02Speaker 2: to and two beat Edmonton on We call it the
- 7:04Speaker 2: Anders Cup because Andrews hates Edmonton. Beat those guys on
- 7:08Speaker 2: Saturday nights. Just a terrific game three two the final.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Joey was great, Beverly had two goals.
- 7:13Speaker 4: One night.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Returner Brandon Montour's brother if you missed it, just recently
- 7:17Speaker 2: passed away from als. That's why he was away from
- 7:19Speaker 2: the team. Really emotional night all the way around and
- 7:22Speaker 2: along those lines. If you were watching the game, you
- 7:25Speaker 2: noticed that we got knocked off the air for a while,
- 7:27Speaker 2: got back on using our fee the feed from our
- 7:29Speaker 2: friends in the Canadaate sports Net. Big thanks to them.
- 7:33Speaker 2: No post game because we had no truck. We had
- 7:35Speaker 2: a power surge thanks to the winds and the rains
- 7:37Speaker 2: and all the stuff going on. I would imagine, well,
- 7:42Speaker 2: and then i'll I wanta saw you land because I
- 7:45Speaker 2: go down five one. I always get five one nine
- 7:47Speaker 2: and five eighteen mixed up. But whatever the road is,
- 7:49Speaker 2: it goes east west towards I guess, yeah, east west,
- 7:55Speaker 2: I guess towards four h five by the airport there. Oh,
- 7:57Speaker 2: five one, I think it's five on nine. I think
- 7:59Speaker 2: it's five y nine if not five eighteen one of
- 8:00Speaker 2: the other, but two are very synonymous, yeah, because they
- 8:03Speaker 2: kind of Chris Anyway, I turned to go home, and
- 8:06Speaker 2: I'm cruising along and all of a sudden I stopped
- 8:08Speaker 2: right where the planes fly overhead and sat there for
- 8:12Speaker 2: over ninety minutes, like what the hell, I figure is
- 8:15Speaker 2: like like this this sucks. Probably a fatal accent or
- 8:17Speaker 2: something like forever. No huge tree fell across the road, Yeah,
- 8:21Speaker 2: and they had to sit there and chop it up, yep,
- 8:24Speaker 2: And they brought a guy in to do that. And
- 8:25Speaker 2: so we sat there for a while, and then you know,
- 8:28Speaker 2: got home to no power. Like a lot of people
- 8:29Speaker 2: in the area, about two hundred fifty thousand people. So
- 8:31Speaker 2: you know what, as we say in hockey, stick taps
- 8:33Speaker 2: to our friends at p SE Pugsound Energy and not
- 8:37Speaker 2: the people behind the scenes because you guys you're planning
- 8:40Speaker 2: sucks because you have way too many lines to get
- 8:42Speaker 2: knocked out. But I will say this, stick taps the
- 8:44Speaker 2: men and women, the workers, the line workers that get
- 8:47Speaker 2: out there and get our power back. We lost it
- 8:49Speaker 2: for about fourteen hours. I know most everything should be
- 8:51Speaker 2: back by later today, I believe, or by tomorrow at
- 8:53Speaker 2: the latest. But you know, pouring down rain on Sunday
- 8:57Speaker 2: and those crews are out there busting their backsides and
- 9:00Speaker 2: stuff put back on. So if you're one of the
- 9:02Speaker 2: fine folks for Pestown Energy down for helping us out
- 9:04Speaker 2: in southeast King County, man, thank you, thank you, and
- 9:06Speaker 2: thank you. You guys are awesome. Even nobody likes to
- 9:09Speaker 2: lose power. It's like my least favorite thing, like most
- 9:11Speaker 2: people's in the world. But good job by those guys
- 9:14Speaker 2: to get most of us back up and running asap.
- 9:17Speaker 2: All right, Mollywop Monday a final scheduled mollywap. Anything after
- 9:24Speaker 2: today will be an emergency session and those are never good.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Well sometimes they are, but most of the time they're
- 9:29Speaker 2: not good. So we'll check in with the Mullywhoppers Nathan
- 9:32Speaker 2: Bishop Christopher Crawford. One final go round coming up next.

- 12:16Speaker 4: All Right, we're.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Gonna this is this. We did our Game seven post
- 12:21Speaker 2: mortem last week, so we're not gonna dwell on that
- 12:23Speaker 2: unless it comes up into casual conversation. This is about
- 12:25Speaker 2: looking ahead, looking back, and kind of taking an overview
- 12:30Speaker 2: of what we just witnessed over the last few months
- 12:33Speaker 2: of Mariner baseball, a ninety to seventy two regular season,
- 12:37Speaker 2: twelve game playoff run that ended, of course, in Game
- 12:39Speaker 2: seven of the ALCS, I asked the question to our listeners,
- 12:44Speaker 2: and we're gonna play the talkbacks back later to the
- 12:47Speaker 2: following and again go to the iHeartRadio app little red
- 12:50Speaker 2: microphone speak for thirty seconds or last wall. So take
- 12:53Speaker 2: your text at four nine, four to five to one,
- 12:55Speaker 2: and I tease it by saying, I'm gonna ask Nathan
- 12:58Speaker 2: and Chris the exact same thing. I was asked this
- 13:00Speaker 2: today by a station I do something with in Vancouver
- 13:04Speaker 2: every day, a TV hit every Monday. And it's simple,
- 13:08Speaker 2: but it's probably effective, and it's probably a good way
- 13:10Speaker 2: to kind of start off the final show of the year.
- 13:15Speaker 2: How would you describe this Mariner season? Success? Failure, opportunity, lost, miss,
- 13:20Speaker 2: tell of a run, all the above, none of the above?
- 13:23Speaker 2: How would you just you're writing the summary of the
- 13:26Speaker 2: two thousand and twenty five Seattle Mariners. How would you do?
- 13:31Speaker 3: So?
- 13:31Speaker 2: Nathan Bishop will start with you.
- 13:35Speaker 6: So we have to be simple because we don't have
- 13:37Speaker 6: like two hours to talk about this one simple question.
- 13:40Speaker 6: But briefly, yeah, I think it is a success. I
- 13:45Speaker 6: think that it's hard to say that this team winning
- 13:47Speaker 6: its first division in twenty three, twenty four years, excuse me,
- 13:51Speaker 6: making the longest postseason run that it's ever made in
- 13:54Speaker 6: its franchise's history, and providing a new generation or generations
- 13:59Speaker 6: of baseball fans with memories that they're going to hold
- 14:01Speaker 6: close to their hearts for the rest of their lives.
- 14:04Speaker 6: A failure. Now is it enough? Which I think is
- 14:09Speaker 6: a separate but related question. I don't think that it's enough.
- 14:14Speaker 6: I'm not satisfied with the twenty twenty five Seattle marriages,
- 14:18Speaker 6: even though I think I would qualify them as a
- 14:21Speaker 6: success Ian Chris Crawford.
- 14:27Speaker 7: Some of this is hard to answer because I'm still
- 14:30Speaker 7: I am still raw from that game. I am still
- 14:33Speaker 7: emotionally invested. For those who don't know, I work for
- 14:35Speaker 7: NBC Sports and I cover baseball games for them quite
- 14:41Speaker 7: a bit, and I was tasked with covering Game one
- 14:45Speaker 7: and I couldn't watch it. I followed it online. I
- 14:47Speaker 7: was praying that, yeah, I was praying that there was
- 14:50Speaker 7: a not an injury that I would miss because I
- 14:53Speaker 7: would get fired if I did. But I recaped the
- 14:57Speaker 7: entire thing based on the box score because I couldn't
- 14:59Speaker 7: watch it. I'm ill emotionally raw from that game, and
- 15:03Speaker 7: I will look back on this season at some point
- 15:06Speaker 7: and say, holy crap, they won the division for the
- 15:09Speaker 7: first time in twenty four years. They had a catcher
- 15:12Speaker 7: hit sixty home runs, and they'd hit five more in
- 15:14Speaker 7: the postseason. They made a couple of my favorite trades
- 15:18Speaker 7: that they've ever made at the deadline, and I will
- 15:20Speaker 7: look back on that, and I will look back on
- 15:22Speaker 7: that fondly. But I am so freaking tired of consolation
- 15:26Speaker 7: prizes being a Seattle sports fan. I'm so tired of it.
- 15:28Speaker 7: I'm so tired of it, and being one game away
- 15:31Speaker 7: from doing something that you've never done just pisses me
- 15:35Speaker 7: off more. It just makes me angrier. I wish they
- 15:38Speaker 7: would have just lost to Detroit in three. I'm not
- 15:40Speaker 7: gonna lie to you. It would have been a lot
- 15:42Speaker 7: easier and I could have looked back and said, ah,
- 15:44Speaker 7: there's still some good stuff. And then seeing all this
- 15:46Speaker 7: stuff about how oh, this is just the beginning. This
- 15:49Speaker 7: is just the beginning, guys. Forty eight years, it's been
- 15:52Speaker 7: a long freaking beginning. If this is the beginning, these
- 15:55Speaker 7: are the longest freaking movie credits of all time. Like,
- 15:58Speaker 7: I don't I don't want to be satisfied, and nobody
- 16:03Speaker 7: is said I'm not even saying anybody is satisfied, but
- 16:06Speaker 7: I kind of and I'm not. I'm not trying to
- 16:09Speaker 7: devalue how anyone feels or take away because I hate
- 16:12Speaker 7: people who tell people how to fan. But every I'm
- 16:15Speaker 7: so proud of the Mariners. Every Oh, I'm so glad
- 16:18Speaker 7: we're on this run. Oh, just wait till next year
- 16:21Speaker 7: actually makes me angrier because we shouldn't be talking about that.
- 16:24Speaker 7: We should be talking about the Mariners playing in the
- 16:27Speaker 7: World Series. We should be talking about George Kirby starting
- 16:31Speaker 7: against Tyler Glassan now tonight. We should be talking about that.
- 16:35Speaker 7: So I'm not quite ready to do this yet. I'm
- 16:37Speaker 7: not quite ready to give you, my boy, what a
- 16:40Speaker 7: wonderful season. At some point I will, but it's so
- 16:44Speaker 7: freaking raw, and I'm so freaking pissed that they lost
- 16:47Speaker 7: that baseball game that I just can't.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Do it by two things. One Paul Moyer says, get
- 16:52Speaker 2: over it. Two two that's and smiling.
- 17:00Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I didn't have that on the Bengo card either, Nathan,
- 17:02Speaker 2: you being captain positive today, I did not. I'm not
- 17:06Speaker 2: sure what world we're living in here, the role reversal
- 17:09Speaker 2: we just went through. Chris, let me go back to
- 17:11Speaker 2: you and stay with this for a second. Yeah, And
- 17:15Speaker 2: I think a lot of people feel like you do
- 17:17Speaker 2: right now. Hell, Nathan basically is see any way the
- 17:19Speaker 2: same thing as well, while trying to paint a rosier
- 17:21Speaker 2: picture than he normally does, really out of character. I
- 17:24Speaker 2: don't know what's going on there. We'll get to you
- 17:25Speaker 2: in a second. Come on, we'll get to you in
- 17:27Speaker 2: a second. I'm reading into what you're saying, and I
- 17:31Speaker 2: think I believe this to be true. Opportunity lost, Chris.
- 17:36Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and you know, I'm just gonna be honest
- 17:40Speaker 7: with you here too. Hearing about like the great future
- 17:45Speaker 7: and stuff like that is hard for me too, because
- 17:48Speaker 7: I don't I I don't know how much longer I have.
- 17:54Speaker 7: I have some stuff going on, and hearing about the
- 17:59Speaker 7: great future of the mayor is cool. But when you
- 18:02Speaker 7: don't know, and then when you have a fan of
- 18:04Speaker 7: this team that loves it more than anything else, that's
- 18:07Speaker 7: ninety five hearing about the future of the team, that's
- 18:11Speaker 7: a little tough too. And I'm not asking the Mariners
- 18:13Speaker 7: to manage the team for me or my grandma. I'm
- 18:15Speaker 7: not asking anything. I'm not asking you to change how
- 18:18Speaker 7: you feel. But Opportunity lost, and then some you were
- 18:22Speaker 7: eight outs away. You were eight outs away from going
- 18:25Speaker 7: to something that I have dreamed about seeing the Seattle
- 18:29Speaker 7: Mariners playing Opportunity lost, And then.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Some I think, and I'm glad you mentioned that, because
- 18:38Speaker 2: we in this town should know nothing is guaranteed. YEP,
- 18:42Speaker 2: I'll refer back to Super Bowl forty nine. In fact,
- 18:47Speaker 2: I'll refer back to Super Bowl forty eight saying every
- 18:50Speaker 2: player in the locker room that I was speaking to
- 18:52Speaker 2: you in met life, this is the start, This is
- 18:54Speaker 2: just the start. Here we go, this is a this
- 18:57Speaker 2: long run is going to happen. Fall just show the
- 19:00Speaker 2: next year. After that, guys start holding out, Guys want
- 19:03Speaker 2: more money, you can't keep the roster together, Guys get hurt,
- 19:07Speaker 2: Guys age out, and last I checked, they haven't been
- 19:09Speaker 2: to an NFC championship game since the twenty thirteen season.
- 19:13Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 19:13Speaker 2: I hate when I hear people say, yeah, it's just
- 19:17Speaker 2: the beginning or the future is bright some sport, sure, right,
- 19:21Speaker 2: Like if I'm the krack in are building something, they
- 19:24Speaker 2: just started the organization five years ago, you know. But
- 19:28Speaker 2: that's not the case with this baseball team. They've got
- 19:30Speaker 2: a GM that's been in place or President Baseball Oups
- 19:32Speaker 2: for ten years, Nathan Opportunity lost.
- 19:36Speaker 6: Yeah, and just echoing what you guys are saying. We've
- 19:39Speaker 6: been hearing the future is bright since the day that
- 19:42Speaker 6: the Marin has decided to turn this roster over after
- 19:45Speaker 6: twenty eighteen. I've been hearing that exact same wine for
- 19:49Speaker 6: seven years. So I am absolutely on board with you
- 19:52Speaker 6: guys saying that I don't need to hear about how
- 19:54Speaker 6: bright the future is, especially if you take a look
- 19:57Speaker 6: at this actual roster right at this exact second. I'm
- 20:00Speaker 6: sure that we're going to go into it more down
- 20:01Speaker 6: the line. There's so much work to do on this
- 20:04Speaker 6: roster just to bring the band back together all together
- 20:09Speaker 6: for another run at twenty twenty six, Like if your
- 20:11Speaker 6: team run it back, like I was kind of half
- 20:14Speaker 6: joking the last offseason talking about how the best thing
- 20:16Speaker 6: they could do is not do anything at all. If
- 20:18Speaker 6: that's how you feel going into this offseason, that you
- 20:20Speaker 6: just want to take this group of players that you
- 20:22Speaker 6: fell in love with and run them back, dude, they
- 20:25Speaker 6: got so much work to do to do that. And
- 20:27Speaker 6: so yeah, it's absolutely an opportunity loss.
- 20:29Speaker 9: We've waited.
- 20:30Speaker 6: I'm forty three years old. I've never seen them get
- 20:32Speaker 6: this close before, and that's the part that stings me.
- 20:35Speaker 6: I don't know if I'm ever gonna see them get
- 20:38Speaker 6: this close again for the rest of my life, and
- 20:41Speaker 6: so like that part is infuriating and the only reason
- 20:44Speaker 6: that I'm I think personally it doesn't really matter.
- 20:46Speaker 4: It's just personal experience.
- 20:48Speaker 6: To Chris's point, we're not trying to tell people what
- 20:50Speaker 6: to do or what to think about here, but for
- 20:52Speaker 6: me personally, not trying to be too sappy. Like I've
- 20:55Speaker 6: been pretty open about, you know, how important my family
- 20:57Speaker 6: is to me, and the experience of getting to share
- 20:59Speaker 6: this with them. I've been raising my children now for
- 21:03Speaker 6: almost two decades, and this close, little nuclear family that
- 21:06Speaker 6: we've built together is going to end. You know, in
- 21:09Speaker 6: a couple months. My oldest is going to go off
- 21:11Speaker 6: to college. If the Marriagers had done this next year,
- 21:14Speaker 6: it would not have meant nearly as much to me
- 21:16Speaker 6: as it did this year, because I got to share
- 21:19Speaker 6: it with my entire family together, and we bonded over
- 21:22Speaker 6: it in a way that we've never bonded over, this
- 21:24Speaker 6: thing that has been central to my life the entire
- 21:27Speaker 6: time they've existed. Our family has existed, so the timing
- 21:30Speaker 6: for me was exceptional. But if we're going to get
- 21:32Speaker 6: down to brass tacks and talk about what the future
- 21:36Speaker 6: actually looks like for this team, boy, oh boy, do
- 21:38Speaker 6: they have a lot of frickin work to do. And
- 21:41Speaker 6: as I said at the beginning, and this is why
- 21:43Speaker 6: I said that, it's it's not complete, it's not necessarily enough,
- 21:49Speaker 6: they owe it to us. When I read a full
- 21:51Speaker 6: page ad from John Stanton in the Seattle Times and
- 21:54Speaker 6: he says, we're just getting started. Why are we just
- 21:56Speaker 6: getting started now?
- 21:58Speaker 9: John?
- 21:58Speaker 6: This is about to be your eleventh year owning the team.
- 22:01Speaker 6: I thought we should have started in twenty sixteen, what
- 22:03Speaker 6: about twenty nineteen, what about twenty twenty, what about all
- 22:06Speaker 6: those years? Those would have been good times to start.
- 22:09Speaker 6: So yeah, it's mixed emotions for.
- 22:12Speaker 2: Me, guys, interesting because I had a similar like, you know,
- 22:19Speaker 2: I know since we started doing this, the you know,
- 22:21Speaker 2: Chris watching games with his grandmother, How important that is,
- 22:25Speaker 2: how cool that is. And frankly, there's part of me
- 22:28Speaker 2: that's been a wee bit jealous of that. And Nathan,
- 22:31Speaker 2: you and your family watching games together. My son was
- 22:33Speaker 2: home this year, my daughter you know, obviously a little
- 22:35Speaker 2: bit older, she's moved out for a while, but having
- 22:37Speaker 2: my son home this year and watching games with him
- 22:40Speaker 2: and my wife, who's not a big sports fan, and
- 22:43Speaker 2: how invested we were, how it brought o like it
- 22:46Speaker 2: was something our family was. Yeah, And so for those
- 22:50Speaker 2: out there, I won't even name put the name out
- 22:52Speaker 2: there again, but saying get over it. Like that's the
- 22:56Speaker 2: beautiful thing about being a fan. How you fan and
- 22:59Speaker 2: how you get invested, whether it's with friends, family, maybe
- 23:02Speaker 2: by yourself, but a lot of times, like you guys
- 23:04Speaker 2: just share with your friends and family and that's no
- 23:07Speaker 2: longer there and there's no guarantee it'll ever be back.
- 23:10Speaker 2: And that's the beautiful thing about a seven game series
- 23:12Speaker 2: or a five game series, unlike one off football games.
- 23:15Speaker 2: One off football games are great, make no mistake, the
- 23:17Speaker 2: NFL's king. But how cool is it when you're just
- 23:20Speaker 2: we're invested in seven games. I'm listening to the postcast
- 23:23Speaker 2: every night. What are Chris Andander's saying? You know, what's
- 23:26Speaker 2: going on with a light bat? What's happening? What are
- 23:27Speaker 2: we doing? You just get so invested and there's no
- 23:31Speaker 2: guarantee it comes back. All right, Let's let's move into
- 23:34Speaker 2: that next direction. Why I want money back to by
- 23:36Speaker 2: simply sales simply dot Com. Also a big thanks today
- 23:39Speaker 2: to stot Columba Casino and Hotel for all of their
- 23:41Speaker 2: support during our World Series ALCS Alds Major League Baseball
- 23:45Speaker 2: Playoff coverage, SnO Casino dot Com. Let's start with the
- 23:50Speaker 2: biggest thing out there. It's Josh Naylor, Chris, It's a priority.
- 23:56Speaker 2: It's going to cost. Yeah, let me start with this.
- 24:00Speaker 2: How important if you're going to be running it back
- 24:03Speaker 2: and just starting is that first basement? And what's it
- 24:07Speaker 2: going to cost?
- 24:09Speaker 7: So the first part, the last part is probably the easiest.
- 24:12Speaker 7: It's gonna be somewhere around five years, one hundred million.
- 24:15Speaker 7: It might be four years eighty five million, with like
- 24:19Speaker 7: a vesting option something along those reigns. The importance is
- 24:24Speaker 7: an interesting one because, like everyone else, I want Josh
- 24:28Speaker 7: Naylor back. I really liked watching Josh Naylor play. I
- 24:30Speaker 7: love the intensity, I love the fun. I loved one
- 24:34Speaker 7: of the slowest players in baseball being one of the
- 24:36Speaker 7: best stolen base threats in baseball. That was it was
- 24:39Speaker 7: a hoot and holler, right, But I will point this
- 24:42Speaker 7: out number one. He is twenty eight years old and
- 24:47Speaker 7: entering his prime is now, so you know, a couple
- 24:50Speaker 7: more good years I would expect. The other thing I
- 24:52Speaker 7: want to point out is the one thing this free
- 24:55Speaker 7: agent class has is some guys who could play first base.
- 24:58Speaker 7: Pete Alonso is certainly going to opt out of his contract.
- 25:02Speaker 7: One of my favorite Japanese bats ever is going to
- 25:05Speaker 7: hit the market. Is probably best at first base, a
- 25:08Speaker 7: guy nam Munataki Muranami. He is an absolute stud. There
- 25:12Speaker 7: are other options here. You have to go get a
- 25:15Speaker 7: first baseman. I hope it's Josh Naylor because I think
- 25:18Speaker 7: there is something that he adds, and you know, just
- 25:21Speaker 7: watching him play was a heck of a lot of fun.
- 25:24Speaker 7: He's not the only option. If you go get Pete Alonzo,
- 25:27Speaker 7: I'll be pretty happy. If you go get Murram, if
- 25:29Speaker 7: you go get Murriyami to go play first base for you,
- 25:33Speaker 7: I'll be pretty happy.
- 25:33Speaker 2: There.
- 25:34Speaker 7: There are some other guys there, but I do believe
- 25:38Speaker 7: that Josh Naylor being a priority makes an awful lot
- 25:40Speaker 7: of sense.
- 25:41Speaker 2: There will be competition for Naylor, yes.
- 25:44Speaker 7: Yes, one hundred percent. Yeah, there will be teams like
- 25:48Speaker 7: I would imagine the Yankees will have some interest in Naylor.
- 25:51Speaker 7: I would imagine that the Red Sox, the Guardians actually
- 25:57Speaker 7: would make sense if they actually spend some money. The
- 25:59Speaker 7: Mets if lose Peede Alonso, there will definitely be competition
- 26:02Speaker 7: for Josh Naylor.
- 26:03Speaker 5: Nathan.
- 26:04Speaker 2: What does Josh Naylor mean more than just baseball? If
- 26:07Speaker 2: they are able to get him, or if they're or
- 26:10Speaker 2: if they lose him, what does it say.
- 26:13Speaker 4: Well, if they lose him, it's just a sign.
- 26:15Speaker 6: I mean I kind of have jokingly put out there
- 26:17Speaker 6: that it's going to be terrible news if the rest
- 26:18Speaker 6: of baseball figures out that Josh Naylor is a free agent,
- 26:21Speaker 6: because you know, it's just that's the way that the
- 26:23Speaker 6: Mariners do business. Chris just mentioned the Yankees and the Mets,
- 26:27Speaker 6: and it's funny to think about the Mariners going to
- 26:29Speaker 6: because it's this isn't a restrict it's not football. It's
- 26:32Speaker 6: not a restricted free agent issue here, Like he's a
- 26:34Speaker 6: free agent free agent. Everybody can spend as much money
- 26:36Speaker 6: for him as they want. So, Like I'm kind of
- 26:39Speaker 6: half chuckling because the idea of the Mariners going toe
- 26:42Speaker 6: to toe with these guys and if it this is
- 26:45Speaker 6: kind of like why we have this cool off period
- 26:47Speaker 6: for these guys after the playoff run because the player
- 26:50Speaker 6: who probably I assume it in like twenty four hours
- 26:53Speaker 6: after the season ended. You ask Josh Naylor if he
- 26:55Speaker 6: wants to be back at Seattle, he says absolutely, because
- 26:57Speaker 6: you could tell that he loved to hear everything about
- 27:00Speaker 6: the way that he was here, said that he loved it.
- 27:02Speaker 6: But in two or three weeks, when he's been hanging
- 27:04Speaker 6: out with his family and he's got his agent telling
- 27:07Speaker 6: him that he can get a fifth year and one
- 27:08Speaker 6: hundred and ten million dollars from Steve Cohen, who doesn't
- 27:11Speaker 6: give a you know what because he just wants to build.
- 27:13Speaker 4: The best team.
- 27:14Speaker 6: I mean, at that point, it's going to be interesting
- 27:17Speaker 6: to see if the Mirrors will do what's necessary in
- 27:19Speaker 6: order to reacquire him. And so I think Jerry said
- 27:22Speaker 6: all the right things at whatever you want to call
- 27:24Speaker 6: the thing they did at the end of the year
- 27:25Speaker 6: this year where they kind of met in like a
- 27:26Speaker 6: broom closet and just hash it out a little bit.
- 27:28Speaker 6: But I don't think it's up to him. And so
- 27:32Speaker 6: that's why I really think the focus for this offseason
- 27:34Speaker 6: is put up a shut up time for this ownership
- 27:37Speaker 6: because if they if they think that they can run
- 27:39Speaker 6: it back and win a World Series in twenty twenty six,
- 27:42Speaker 6: Josh Naylor is a big part of it. I'm not
- 27:44Speaker 6: questioning Chris's diagnosis of this Japanese first basement at all.
- 27:48Speaker 4: He knows baseball front, back, forward, and sideways.
- 27:50Speaker 6: I'd rather not take a shot at a guy that's
- 27:53Speaker 6: never played in Major League Baseball for a winner, go
- 27:55Speaker 6: home kind of season like twenty twenty six could be.
- 27:57Speaker 6: And we've seen Josh Naylor succeed in Seattle. I think
- 27:59Speaker 6: it's a big deal for them. I'm just curious to
- 28:02Speaker 6: see if they can actually close the deal.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Chris, what do you do with genal Uh?
- 28:07Speaker 7: This is a really tough one because he was he
- 28:10Speaker 7: has one of the biggest moments in Seattle Mariner history.
- 28:12Speaker 7: More derogatory than complimentary, if I'm being completely honest with you.
- 28:15Speaker 7: But it was a huge and I loved it, and
- 28:18Speaker 7: you know, there's definitely some clubhouse vibe stuff here too.
- 28:21Speaker 5: But he was.
- 28:21Speaker 7: Awful, absolutely awful for the over one. He was here
- 28:25Speaker 7: for a third of the season. Guys, this is not
- 28:26Speaker 7: like some small sample. He was terrible. If he wants
- 28:31Speaker 7: to come back and is willing to sign for undermarket
- 28:35Speaker 7: or and you know, you do have to acknowledge that
- 28:37Speaker 7: the Seattle Mariner's budget is part of this. Like I
- 28:41Speaker 7: know who that John Stanton isn't going to spend more
- 28:43Speaker 7: than one hundred and sixty six million dollars. Apparently you
- 28:47Speaker 7: do have to acknowledge some of that. So if Gino
- 28:49Speaker 7: Suarez wants to come back on like a one or
- 28:51Speaker 7: two year deal, I want him back. Like he's better
- 28:53Speaker 7: than Ben Williamson. He is better than Ben Williamson, but
- 28:57Speaker 7: he's not so much better than Ben Williamson that he
- 28:59Speaker 7: can beat your big free agent signing. The fact is
- 29:02Speaker 7: there's more volatility in his profile than any of the
- 29:06Speaker 7: big three free agents that the Seattle Mariners have. So
- 29:09Speaker 7: I'd love to see him back. I kind of doubt
- 29:11Speaker 7: that he's coming back.
- 29:12Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll talk about Polanco as well. When
- 29:14Speaker 2: we come back. We'll take a quick break and put
- 29:16Speaker 2: a wrap on molliwat Mondays for the year, which also
- 29:19Speaker 2: makes me sad as well. Won't see these guys every yere. Oh,
- 29:25Speaker 2: there's a standing order that there's always a potential for
- 29:28Speaker 2: the emergency session. These boys know that all too well.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Half the time when it happens, I get a text
- 29:33Speaker 2: from one of them, are we going on? Do we
- 29:35Speaker 2: need to do something today? And the answer is always yes,
- 29:37Speaker 2: because my guy Nick Allen and others out there, they're
- 29:39Speaker 2: demanded to happen. We'll take a break, come back with
- 29:41Speaker 2: the boys next.
- 30:00Speaker 1: From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast Studio. Now
- 30:04Speaker 1: back to Ian FURNESZ powered by Seattle Closest sports book
- 30:08Speaker 1: Snow call Me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety
- 30:12Speaker 1: three point three kJ R FM.
- 30:17Speaker 2: All right, we'll wrap it up with our final schedule.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Mollywop of the Year. The other free agent we talked
- 30:21Speaker 2: about Gino and obviously Josh Naylor. What do you do
- 30:25Speaker 2: with Jrae Polanka when he opts out Chris.
- 30:30Speaker 7: And it's pretty easy to me, You basically just pay
- 30:33Speaker 7: him somewhere around what Polanka was scheduled to make with
- 30:38Speaker 7: the option and what Mitch Carver was making. Like that's
- 30:41Speaker 7: a pretty simple one to me. Two years, thirty two
- 30:44Speaker 7: million something along those lines. I think you have to
- 30:47Speaker 7: bring Polo back.
- 30:48Speaker 4: Nate, Yeah, I think that they have to.
- 30:51Speaker 6: I think that's of the three that we're talking about
- 30:53Speaker 6: that's the one that's the most likely. It's it's still
- 30:55Speaker 6: amazing that he came back this year, and he wanted
- 30:57Speaker 6: to come back, So I think that show is probably
- 31:00Speaker 6: positive workings between him and the front office. So I'm
- 31:02Speaker 6: the most optimistic about that one.
- 31:04Speaker 4: All right, three, all.
- 31:05Speaker 2: Right, let's uh, Chris, who's ready to make a move
- 31:08Speaker 2: coming up? We know Williamson and young guys like that.
- 31:12Speaker 2: What changes based on.
- 31:14Speaker 5: What you know?
- 31:15Speaker 2: Then you're our expert in this regard that you know
- 31:18Speaker 2: with the young guys in the system, who's ready to
- 31:20Speaker 2: make that next step, whether it be a position player
- 31:23Speaker 2: or whether it be a pitcher. I would assume if
- 31:25Speaker 2: there's no Garver, is Harry Ford here all next year?
- 31:28Speaker 7: What do you think that's going to be a really
- 31:31Speaker 7: interesting one? Because he's still your backup catcher, right, Like,
- 31:33Speaker 7: are you really do you really want the twenty three
- 31:35Speaker 7: year old to be your backup catcher? I still think
- 31:37Speaker 7: he's your best trade chip of the prospects, the most
- 31:40Speaker 7: realistic one, but he also may be your best option there.
- 31:45Speaker 7: We'll see what the other backup catchers look like. I
- 31:47Speaker 7: think the guy that's the most interesting here is Kate
- 31:49Speaker 7: Anderson because This is a guy whose stuff is ready
- 31:52Speaker 7: to go right now. And you know, the Mariners had
- 31:55Speaker 7: some significant starting pitching issues in twenty twenty five, much
- 31:59Speaker 7: more than we could have ever predicted. Even when we
- 32:02Speaker 7: acknowledge that, hey, it's they're kind of due for stuff
- 32:04Speaker 7: like this. This guy's stuff is so special and his
- 32:08Speaker 7: command is already so good. He could really change what
- 32:12Speaker 7: you do. He could really be a part of this
- 32:14Speaker 7: rotation as soon as June of next year, probably looking
- 32:19Speaker 7: more closer to July or August, but he's going to
- 32:21Speaker 7: make his MLB debut at some point next year. That's
- 32:25Speaker 7: the guy I'm the most intrigued to see. And it
- 32:27Speaker 7: also opens some stuff up for you, because if you
- 32:30Speaker 7: really do believe in Kate Anderson, it gives you a
- 32:33Speaker 7: chance to be a little bit more creative with some stuff.
- 32:35Speaker 2: All Right, Nathan, I'll be well, just wildcard round for you.
- 32:39Speaker 2: What do you think? What do you what do you
- 32:40Speaker 2: want to do? What do you want to see them do?
- 32:41Speaker 2: Besides the obvious ones we already talked about. Do you
- 32:44Speaker 2: want to go back down the trade castile road again?
- 32:48Speaker 2: Move one of those guys pitching wise to add something
- 32:51Speaker 2: to what? What? What do you you walk into Jerry
- 32:53Speaker 2: to Poto's office, and once you guys are done exchanging pleasantries,
- 32:57Speaker 2: which I'm not sure how that will go, but once.
- 33:00Speaker 6: We'd have plenty of time leftover after we were with that,
- 33:02Speaker 6: I think.
- 33:03Speaker 2: What would you tell them? What do you want to see?
- 33:06Speaker 4: So in this world do I get too?
- 33:07Speaker 6: I'm working within the constraints of the budget that I
- 33:10Speaker 6: realistically have from John Stanton.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'll keep it.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 6: I think that the big thing I want to see
- 33:16Speaker 6: them do is not squad on their farm system in
- 33:19Speaker 6: this offseason. They have a bevy of prospects that a
- 33:21Speaker 6: lot of teams are going to be very interested in doing.
- 33:24Speaker 6: I want to see things. I'm going to throw out names.
- 33:26Speaker 6: The guys that they end up getting probably won't be
- 33:28Speaker 6: the kinds of names that I'm throwing out, but it's
- 33:30Speaker 6: just stuff to think about. Like there were rumors of
- 33:32Speaker 6: Stephen Quan being available at the trade deadline this last
- 33:35Speaker 6: past offseason, he would still be an absolutely wonderful fit
- 33:38Speaker 6: for this organization. That's the kind of guy I want
- 33:40Speaker 6: them to be very aggressive to go out and get.
- 33:43Speaker 6: They desperately need at least one corner outfielder We didn't
- 33:45Speaker 6: even talk about Randy and whether or not they're going
- 33:48Speaker 6: to end up paying him something like eighteen million dollars
- 33:50Speaker 6: to be a left fielder this year, so they're gonna
- 33:52Speaker 6: need corner outfield help a lot. I definitely want to
- 33:56Speaker 6: bring back Josh Naylor, and I'm going to lean hard.
- 33:58Speaker 6: I'm going to use my personal skills because I'm Jerry
- 34:01Speaker 6: Depoto in this situation, to lean on ownership to sign
- 34:05Speaker 6: a big guy at third base man like a guy
- 34:07Speaker 6: like Alex Bregman or something like that.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Well, he would fit so well.
- 34:11Speaker 6: I'm so tired of hearing people talk about he was
- 34:13Speaker 6: an astro, so we can't have him around here because
- 34:15Speaker 6: they hate him.
- 34:15Speaker 4: Get over it.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Well he's a fabulous ball. I wouldn't have that one
- 34:19Speaker 2: astro like that. Just hit a three run bomb, right,
- 34:22Speaker 2: I mean.
- 34:24Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, So, I mean really, we're put up her
- 34:27Speaker 6: shut up time as far as I'm concerned with, and
- 34:29Speaker 6: I tend to talk about the front office and ownership
- 34:32Speaker 6: as one entity, even though I acknowledge there are moving
- 34:34Speaker 6: parts behind the scenes there we don't see. It's time
- 34:37Speaker 6: for them to not just bring back this the band
- 34:40Speaker 6: as it were. I want to see it improved. I
- 34:41Speaker 6: want to see a better outfield. I want to see
- 34:43Speaker 6: a better third baseman. No disrespect to Gino, who I
- 34:45Speaker 6: love and adore. I just want to see a better roster.
- 34:48Speaker 6: I don't want to see trading Luis Castillo to free
- 34:50Speaker 6: up money to go spend, because quite frankly, they shouldn't
- 34:53Speaker 6: have to free up money show spend. And we're talking
- 34:56Speaker 6: about Kate Anderson. I'm excited to make Kate about Kate Anderson.
- 34:59Speaker 6: I have no interest in relying on Kate Anderson in
- 35:02Speaker 6: twenty twenty six for a team that wants wants to
- 35:04Speaker 6: win the World Series. I want Louis Castillo. If Louis
- 35:07Speaker 6: Castillo hadn't been here this past season, they would have
- 35:10Speaker 6: been a train wreck.
- 35:12Speaker 4: He was the most other than Brian wu.
- 35:14Speaker 6: He was the only guy that went out every fifth
- 35:16Speaker 6: day and made every start. They need this guy around,
- 35:18Speaker 6: and if he ends up being bad, god forbid, we
- 35:21Speaker 6: eat a little bit of money. I mean, geez, it
- 35:23Speaker 6: doesn't matter. I just don't want finances to be the
- 35:26Speaker 6: thing that runs this show. And I know it's probably
- 35:28Speaker 6: going to be. I acknowledge that that's naive. I just
- 35:31Speaker 6: don't want to see it man, I want to see
- 35:33Speaker 6: them improve. I don't just want them to try to
- 35:36Speaker 6: achieve where they were this past year. A lot of
- 35:38Speaker 6: good fortune, a lot of American League teams being down
- 35:42Speaker 6: contributed to this year. I want them to build off
- 35:45Speaker 6: of this, not just try to maintain it.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Chris real quick, Randy Nate brought it up. What do
- 35:51Speaker 2: you do with him?
- 35:52Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a tough one. I would like him to
- 35:56Speaker 7: be by designated hitter. I would want him to be
- 35:58Speaker 7: the guy who's playing it d And that makes it
- 36:01Speaker 7: tough because Polonco, are you playing him at second base?
- 36:04Speaker 7: Then are you rotating it through? But he's a really
- 36:08Speaker 7: bad defensive player and it's not going to get better.
- 36:10Speaker 7: That's not how that works. Like he is a very
- 36:12Speaker 7: poor defensive left fielder on a team that still relies
- 36:16Speaker 7: a lot on run prevention. I want Randy Beck. I
- 36:19Speaker 7: think he's an awesome hitter, but it's tough to justify
- 36:23Speaker 7: him being your starting left fielder when he is more
- 36:27Speaker 7: detriment than asset And I hate that word, but.
- 36:29Speaker 2: It's a tough one. Nineteen strikeouts and forty eight at
- 36:32Speaker 2: bats in the postseason two, so struggle, Yeah, he did struggle. Okay,
- 36:36Speaker 2: time to wrap it up. Quick final thoughts however you
- 36:41Speaker 2: want to do it or just shameless self promotion, Chris,
- 36:43Speaker 2: go ahead.
- 36:44Speaker 7: I just want to thank everybody like this has been
- 36:47Speaker 7: so much fun over a hard, hard couple of years.
- 36:53Speaker 7: It was nice to even though I'm not satisfied, even
- 36:56Speaker 7: though I'm still pissed off, I can't acknowledge that this
- 36:59Speaker 7: is still my faceing to do. And I love you guys.
- 37:02Speaker 2: Nathan Chrystal my thunder.
- 37:05Speaker 4: I was I'm not gonna self promote.
- 37:07Speaker 6: Getting to do this every single week is like one
- 37:09Speaker 6: of the coolest things that's ever happened to me in
- 37:11Speaker 6: my entire life. I can't thank you Ian enough. Jessamine
- 37:14Speaker 6: honors everybody at the station, the listeners who continue, for
- 37:17Speaker 6: some reason to ask for us to come on the air,
- 37:20Speaker 6: whenever the Mariners do something stupid. It's just one of
- 37:23Speaker 6: the most meaningful and special things. And to get to
- 37:25Speaker 6: do it this year just meant the world to me.
- 37:28Speaker 6: I just really really meant a lot what Chris said.
- 37:32Speaker 6: I just have a lot of love in my heart
- 37:33Speaker 6: for all the people that I'm sharing this show with
- 37:36Speaker 6: and our audience.
- 37:36Speaker 4: It's just it was wonderful.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Yeah, this was. You know, we've told the story million times.
- 37:42Speaker 10: It was.
- 37:42Speaker 2: It was started not with the best of circumstances, Kevin Mather,
- 37:47Speaker 2: but this year ends with the hell of a run.
- 37:50Speaker 2: And I've told you guys this listen. I have some
- 37:53Speaker 2: great guests on every week. I every one of them.
- 37:56Speaker 2: I like every guest I have on weekly. I wouldn't
- 37:59Speaker 2: have mon weekly.
- 38:00Speaker 6: Not.
- 38:01Speaker 2: This is different, like this is just different. It's different
- 38:04Speaker 2: for me, it's different for you guys. It's special. I
- 38:08Speaker 2: can come in in a bad mood, and even if
- 38:10Speaker 2: we're still in a bad mood after we talk about
- 38:12Speaker 2: the Mariners for forty five minutes, you know what, I'm
- 38:14Speaker 2: in a better mood of being in a bad mood
- 38:16Speaker 2: than I was. And it's because of you two guys.
- 38:19Speaker 2: And it's the thing that I think is the coolest
- 38:21Speaker 2: thing about it is that out of the ashes of
- 38:25Speaker 2: Kevin Mather, you guys have built a brand that people know,
- 38:30Speaker 2: that people talk about, that I have people ask me
- 38:32Speaker 2: about all the time, that I have people request all
- 38:35Speaker 2: the time saying, what do you think the Molli Whoppers
- 38:39Speaker 2: are going to say? What do you think they are?
- 38:41Speaker 2: They coming on for a special emergency session. Yes, Nick Allen,
- 38:44Speaker 2: they are to do that. In our business, it doesn't
- 38:48Speaker 2: happen overnight, and you never know when it's going to happen,
- 38:52Speaker 2: and you never know. You guys didn't know each other beforehand.
- 38:54Speaker 2: You never know when you're going to have chemistry. You
- 38:56Speaker 2: never know when it's going to click, and it has.
- 38:59Speaker 2: And I'm always sad this time of year because it's over.
- 39:03Speaker 2: We have winter meetings, we have off season news and
- 39:06Speaker 2: all that stuff, so we will talk again, who knows when,
- 39:09Speaker 2: sooner than later. Normally that's how it works with this organization.
- 39:12Speaker 2: But to have this year where we all kind of
- 39:15Speaker 2: shared all that going on. Listening to what you guys
- 39:18Speaker 2: did on the postcast was incredible. What a great job
- 39:20Speaker 2: you guys did of that on that. I can't thank
- 39:23Speaker 2: you guys enough for making my radio show that has
- 39:26Speaker 2: my name on it that I have to it's my
- 39:28Speaker 2: livelihood that I depend on to pay mortgages and things
- 39:31Speaker 2: like that. You guys make it better and I can't
- 39:33Speaker 2: thank you enough. So thank you guys. Appreciate it. Of course,
- 39:36Speaker 2: Nathan and Chris in the books for another year. Big

- 41:28Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in here you go, hardcore football
- 41:31Speaker 2: on a Monday afternoon. No a hardcore game to talk
- 41:33Speaker 2: about yesterday, because why well, the Seahawks out a bye week.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Next up hit the road against the Commanders. We did
- 41:40Speaker 2: half of this on Friday, and in all it was
- 41:42Speaker 2: an all transparency. We tape the second half on Friday.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Why because Great co Sale's a busy man. Hugh Millan's
- 41:48Speaker 2: a busy man. But Great Cosell was on Hardcore on
- 41:53Speaker 2: Hugh Millons with Great co Selle segment on Friday talking
- 41:56Speaker 2: Seahawks defense through seven games. Great co Sales now on
- 41:59Speaker 2: Hugh Millen s been hardcore football on this Monday, And
- 42:01Speaker 2: basically that's what these two guys do, is hardcore football.
- 42:04Speaker 2: And I'm gonna get the hell out of the way
- 42:06Speaker 2: and let these guys for the next seventeen to eighteen
- 42:08Speaker 2: minutes talk about the Seahawks offense seven games into the season,
- 42:11Speaker 2: Hugh Millen, I'm gonna turn it over to you to
- 42:13Speaker 2: get after it with Greg Cosell and chop it up,
- 42:15Speaker 2: fire away back.
- 42:16Speaker 4: I love it.
- 42:16Speaker 11: Well, let's talk offense here, and I think I think
- 42:20Speaker 11: the uh we talked about the rush defense Greg last
- 42:24Speaker 11: week that rush defense might be the best part of
- 42:27Speaker 11: the team on the Seahork team, I think rush offense
- 42:31Speaker 11: is the worst part. And just some numbers to reflect.
- 42:34Speaker 11: So the run percentage, that the frequency the Seahawks at
- 42:38Speaker 11: forty eight point nine percent run that's number one in
- 42:41Speaker 11: the NFL break rushing yards a game, they're nineteenth rush
- 42:45Speaker 11: yards per attempt, they're thirtieth.
- 42:48Speaker 4: What do you see?
- 42:49Speaker 11: And we'll get to granule on some schemes, but just
- 42:52Speaker 11: as a general view, you're looking at thirty one other teams,
- 42:56Speaker 11: you're comparing it, you're seeing these struggles by the Seahawks
- 42:59Speaker 11: rush offense.
- 43:00Speaker 4: What do you see from that perspective?
- 43:03Speaker 12: Well, just as a quick aside before I answer that you,
- 43:06Speaker 12: I think that Mike McDonald, and again I don't listen obviously,
- 43:09Speaker 12: I'm not out there. I don't listen to press conference,
- 43:11Speaker 12: so I don't know what the coach says. But I
- 43:14Speaker 12: thought it was fascinating that they opened up the game
- 43:16Speaker 12: against the Texans in twenty one personnel and ran isol
- 43:20Speaker 12: lead week. Okay, because that's an attitude play, as you know,
- 43:24Speaker 12: you know, you've been with a lot of teams that
- 43:26Speaker 12: ran the ball, you know, you were the Cowboys, And
- 43:29Speaker 12: I think McDonald pretty much started that game with the
- 43:32Speaker 12: idea that I want to run the ball and I
- 43:34Speaker 12: want to develop more physicality, and I think that's probably
- 43:38Speaker 12: something they want. But I would answer your question in
- 43:41Speaker 12: a more you know, macro way by saying that I
- 43:45Speaker 12: think that one of the issues with Walker, Kenneth Walker,
- 43:49Speaker 12: who's obviously very gifted in terms of quickness, burst, all
- 43:52Speaker 12: those traits that you look for in a running back,
- 43:56Speaker 12: is he's not an innate, natural death runner and he's
- 44:01Speaker 12: not a guy that immediately and innately gets harder.
- 44:05Speaker 5: In the yards.
- 44:06Speaker 12: He's he's a bouncer. So what happens a lot instead
- 44:09Speaker 12: of hitting it and getting two three yards and by
- 44:13Speaker 12: the way, as you know, you every yard matters in
- 44:15Speaker 12: the NFL, He's a guy that looks to bounce a
- 44:18Speaker 12: lot and there's too many you know, minus ones or
- 44:22Speaker 12: no gains and that really hurts an offense and charbone.
- 44:27Speaker 12: You know, he's just not gifted enough as a runner
- 44:30Speaker 12: to be a guy that to my based on my
- 44:33Speaker 12: tape study, that you want to give the ball to
- 44:34Speaker 12: a lot.
- 44:35Speaker 5: He's just not gifted enough.
- 44:36Speaker 12: So I think that Walker is the guy that and
- 44:39Speaker 12: I don't know if you can change a guy sort
- 44:42Speaker 12: of innate mentality, but he's the guy that needs to
- 44:44Speaker 12: be the guy. But he's at times it's it's a
- 44:48Speaker 12: struggle with him because he just does not hit it
- 44:50Speaker 12: up inside.
- 44:52Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's some money observation and First of all,
- 44:55Speaker 11: for those that are wondering, what is an ISO meaning
- 44:58Speaker 11: obviously that's a term for isolation, and what that is
- 45:02Speaker 11: is depending on the defensive front, the offensive guard on
- 45:05Speaker 11: the play side will generally block down with the center
- 45:08Speaker 11: to create a double team.
- 45:09Speaker 4: And then the fullback.
- 45:11Speaker 11: Now in this case, Greg, that was that's your backup fullback, right,
- 45:16Speaker 11: I mean that was that was Brady Russell.
- 45:17Speaker 5: Uh.
- 45:18Speaker 11: But the fullback is leading up on the middle linebacker
- 45:22Speaker 11: generally depending on the front, and it's a it's probably
- 45:26Speaker 11: the most violent play in football. And you're right, EMMITTT.
- 45:29Speaker 11: Smith had more rush rush rushing yards and his cowboy
- 45:33Speaker 11: career on ISO than probably any other run with Moose Johnson. Uh,
- 45:37Speaker 11: clear in the way in that regard. So it is
- 45:39Speaker 11: and you're you're right to point out, hey, first play
- 45:42Speaker 11: of the game. It reflects what the discussion has been
- 45:47Speaker 11: all week. So I'm glad that you pointed that out.
- 45:49Speaker 11: Let's get granular on on K nine and and and Greg.
- 45:53Speaker 11: As you know, there was a lot of talk in
- 45:56Speaker 11: the off season about Clint Kubiak, the offense coordinator, that
- 46:01Speaker 11: he's gonna come in, He's gonna bring in the outside zone.
- 46:04Speaker 11: So let's let's let's talk about some numbers in that
- 46:06Speaker 11: regard the outside zone. The percent the Seahawks at twenty
- 46:10Speaker 11: five point two percent, that's seventh in the NFL. They
- 46:13Speaker 11: got fifty one attempts, that's about seven point three a game.
- 46:16Speaker 4: They now their.
- 46:18Speaker 11: Average on all running plays there is three point seven
- 46:22Speaker 11: yards and that's thirtieth. Their average on the outside zones
- 46:25Speaker 11: a little better at four point two. Average was about eighteenth.
- 46:28Speaker 11: But Canine averages five point five and Charbonnet averages one
- 46:34Speaker 11: point nine on the outside zone. Let me say it again, five,
- 46:37Speaker 11: So so Canine. There are nineteen running backs who have
- 46:42Speaker 11: twenty or more rush attempts on the outside zone in
- 46:44Speaker 11: the NFL five point five average, that's fourth. Of course,
- 46:49Speaker 11: Bjehon Robinson is the king of the outside zone, as
- 46:51Speaker 11: you know.
- 46:52Speaker 4: But but but.
- 46:53Speaker 11: As we're getting granular on that running game that we're
- 46:56Speaker 11: told about the outside zone, the presence, they are actually
- 47:00Speaker 11: you know a little bit better in that regard, and
- 47:01Speaker 11: Canine's a lot better and maybe reflective of your observation
- 47:05Speaker 11: about the bounce nature, Hey he's you know, he's kinda
- 47:08Speaker 11: there's a built in opportunity for a bouts on a
- 47:10Speaker 11: on a stretch. Maybe just talk about that what you
- 47:13Speaker 11: see from the outside zone specifically.
- 47:17Speaker 12: Yeah, well, as you know, you I mean outside zone
- 47:19Speaker 12: at some point, I mean unless it's totally clear to
- 47:22Speaker 12: the perimeter, which rarely happens, at some point you've got
- 47:25Speaker 12: to stick your foot in the ground and you've got
- 47:27Speaker 12: to get your shoulder square, and you got to hit
- 47:29Speaker 12: it up. You know, that's essentially outside zone. And uh
- 47:32Speaker 12: and I just you know, Walker to me is uneven
- 47:35Speaker 12: in that regard. And the thing is is he's so explosive.
- 47:38Speaker 12: There's such natural quickness to him, and I don't think
- 47:41Speaker 12: he and I think he does have some natural power
- 47:44Speaker 12: to him as well, but he just too often, you know,
- 47:47Speaker 12: when he feels that it's muddy, he just doesn't hit
- 47:51Speaker 12: it up in there. And I think that you know,
- 47:54Speaker 12: you know the difference. I mean, I hope people listening
- 47:57Speaker 12: know the difference. There's a big difference between second eight
- 48:00Speaker 12: and second and twelve. It's a big difference in terms
- 48:03Speaker 12: of play calling, play calling options, how your quarterback feels
- 48:06Speaker 12: about the play. And I just think that, you know,
- 48:09Speaker 12: I learned this. I worked with Merril Hodge for years
- 48:11Speaker 12: and years and years, and you know, He used to
- 48:14Speaker 12: tell me that when he first started in the league,
- 48:16Speaker 12: Joe Green was still playing, and Joe Green made it
- 48:19Speaker 12: very clear to him. And I imagine when Joe Green
- 48:21Speaker 12: spoke that people listened, and Joe Green told him that,
- 48:25Speaker 12: you know, hey, if you get one yard, that's better
- 48:28Speaker 12: than gaining no yards. And I think that that has
- 48:30Speaker 12: to be the attitude of backs. You know, you can't
- 48:34Speaker 12: search for big plays. They have to come naturally. And
- 48:37Speaker 12: I think, again, I don't know what's in Kenneth Walker's head.
- 48:40Speaker 12: Obviously I don't, but I think when I watch his tape,
- 48:43Speaker 12: I always feel you as if he's searching.
- 48:46Speaker 4: Greg Hosill with us.
- 48:48Speaker 5: I agree with that.
- 48:48Speaker 11: And and by the way, just a thought on Greg,
- 48:51Speaker 11: I'm gonna embarrass him here for a second. He didn't
- 48:53Speaker 11: know I was going to say this, but he is
- 48:55Speaker 11: the one guy, one analyst in all of football on
- 48:59Speaker 11: any network anyway where local, national, that did not play
- 49:02Speaker 11: the game, but knows the game to the level of
- 49:06Speaker 11: coaches and quarterbacks. And so when Greg Cosel talks, I
- 49:10Speaker 11: listened because I know he's looking at thirty two teams
- 49:13Speaker 11: and we're getting a wonderful perspective from him. Looking at
- 49:16Speaker 11: the Seahawks before we transition into the passing game, and
- 49:19Speaker 11: obviously Sam Darnold, Greg, let's let's kind of hit a
- 49:23Speaker 11: point that's kind of in between those and that's play
- 49:25Speaker 11: action pass. Now you and I on the thirty third team,
- 49:29Speaker 11: and we saw a presentation not terribly long ago, and
- 49:34Speaker 11: thirty third team is kind of a think tank of
- 49:35Speaker 11: former GMS. There's some few players, a lot of GM's
- 49:39Speaker 11: former head coaches. When you know, when Bill Pollian is talking,
- 49:43Speaker 11: you know you listen to him. A Hall of Fame GM, right,
- 49:47Speaker 11: among many others. I mean, Chris Peterson's been on it,
- 49:49Speaker 11: you know, so so. But we saw a presentation and
- 49:54Speaker 11: there was very firm statistics that said that it doesn't
- 49:59Speaker 11: play success is the number one thing you can do
- 50:03Speaker 11: to help your passing game is to go out of
- 50:05Speaker 11: play action. But play action success is not determined on
- 50:10Speaker 11: how well you run the football. If that's true, that's
- 50:12Speaker 11: good for the Seahawks because right now they're not running
- 50:14Speaker 11: the ball real well. But it seems counterintuitive. I want
- 50:19Speaker 11: Greg Cosell to tell us about your opinion in that
- 50:23Speaker 11: regard about the specific facet play action effectiveness. How important
- 50:28Speaker 11: is it that you are running the ball well to
- 50:29Speaker 11: have that yes or no.
- 50:31Speaker 12: Well, no, it's been proven overtime you that there's really
- 50:36Speaker 12: no correlation whatsoever between running the fall effectively and play
- 50:40Speaker 12: action success. Because think of it this way. If you're
- 50:43Speaker 12: a defense, if you're a linebacker and it's the middle
- 50:46Speaker 12: of the second quarter, no linebacker goes into the huddle
- 50:49Speaker 12: and says, hey, you know what, guys, they've had eight
- 50:51Speaker 12: rushers for eleven yards, so we don't have to worry
- 50:54Speaker 12: about the run game. It doesn't work like that. You know,
- 50:56Speaker 12: defensive players, particularly second and third level players, taught how
- 51:01Speaker 12: to react to indicators and cues, and they react to
- 51:05Speaker 12: what they see in front of them. They're not reacting
- 51:07Speaker 12: to whether it's been great or not. I mean, look,
- 51:10Speaker 12: you played with the Cowboys. Obviously they had a great
- 51:12Speaker 12: run game with them at Smith, but their run was
- 51:15Speaker 12: established before they even stepped on the field.
- 51:17Speaker 5: They didn't have to run the ball well.
- 51:19Speaker 12: In a given game for play action to work. That
- 51:21Speaker 12: was already just built into how they played football. So
- 51:24Speaker 12: there's really no correlation whatsoever. And I will say this.
- 51:28Speaker 12: You know, when Klint Kubiak was hired, we all talked
- 51:30Speaker 12: about the play action, and I would say over the
- 51:33Speaker 12: last month, probably the last four games, we have definitely
- 51:38Speaker 12: seen an increase in the play action element, especially with
- 51:42Speaker 12: Donald under center. And to me, I think play action
- 51:45Speaker 12: with the quarterback under center is far more effective than
- 51:48Speaker 12: play action with the quarterback and the gun. And Donald
- 51:51Speaker 12: has been phenomenal in those four games with under center
- 51:55Speaker 12: play action and he pushes the ball down the field.
- 51:58Speaker 12: I mean he'said fourteen completion in the last four games
- 52:02Speaker 12: play action under center. Fourteen completions for three hundred and
- 52:06Speaker 12: eighty three yards. Think about that for a minute. Yeah,
- 52:09Speaker 12: fourteen completions three hundred and eighty three yards. That is unbelievable.
- 52:13Speaker 12: So I think we're seeing more and more of it.
- 52:15Speaker 12: Probably Klint, Kubiak and Donald just had to get comfortable
- 52:18Speaker 12: with the whole system. You now you can go through
- 52:21Speaker 12: OTA's trading camp. Until you play in the games, you
- 52:24Speaker 12: don't really know.
- 52:25Speaker 2: All right again, once again, you're listening to Greg co
- 52:27Speaker 2: Sale Hugh Millen. It's a boy special edition of Hardcore Football.
- 52:30Speaker 2: We brought it over from Froday and we had Hugh
- 52:32Speaker 2: won talking with Gregor and the bye week we did
- 52:33Speaker 2: this last year.
- 52:34Speaker 9: People loved it.
- 52:35Speaker 2: I'm gonna get the hell out of the way. Greg
- 52:36Speaker 2: was talking about Sam Donald in the play action game,
- 52:39Speaker 2: Hugh fire away. Yeah.
- 52:40Speaker 11: Following up on that free the play action, Greg, you
- 52:44Speaker 11: go back to a year ago when Donald was with
- 52:47Speaker 11: the Vikings. Every way I filtered play action, you always
- 52:51Speaker 11: came up with this that Jared Goff is number one
- 52:55Speaker 11: in terms of frequency on all the play action numbers,
- 52:59Speaker 11: but Sam Donald was number two in frequency and number
- 53:03Speaker 11: one in terms of passer rating. I mean filtering for
- 53:06Speaker 11: what I think is almost the hardest thing at quarterbacking
- 53:10Speaker 11: filtering the fall away Greg under center play action and
- 53:14Speaker 11: throwing the ball between the numbers. Sam Donald had a
- 53:19Speaker 11: passer rating of one hundred and forty three. And to
- 53:22Speaker 11: turn your back on the defense, I'm glad you talked
- 53:24Speaker 11: about that because it's happening again this year and here
- 53:29Speaker 11: Donald is number one in the NFL in yards per tempt,
- 53:33Speaker 11: number one in yards per completion, and number one in
- 53:36Speaker 11: terms of the percentage of his completions that are ten
- 53:38Speaker 11: or more yards. He's pushing the ball down the field.
- 53:42Speaker 11: As you said, let's just kind of put the spotlight
- 53:45Speaker 11: on him. What you think about Donald relative to other
- 53:49Speaker 11: quarterbacks and what he's bringing to Seattle.
- 53:52Speaker 12: Well, the last two years, I've loved the way Donald
- 53:55Speaker 12: has played, and you're one hundred percent right, And I
- 53:57Speaker 12: think that's one reason why they wanted to go get Donald,
- 53:59Speaker 12: because they knew they were going to They hired Kubiak,
- 54:02Speaker 12: and they wanted the play action pass game under center,
- 54:04Speaker 12: which is no as you know, you was a learned
- 54:06Speaker 12: to trade because you know, when you turn your back
- 54:08Speaker 12: to the defense. Not every quarterback fields very good about
- 54:11Speaker 12: that because the defense is not in the same place
- 54:13Speaker 12: they were before you turned your back. So that's a
- 54:16Speaker 12: learned trade, and that's hard to do, you know. And
- 54:20Speaker 12: I think that Donald. The one thing I've always liked
- 54:22Speaker 12: about Donald these last two years is that he pushes
- 54:26Speaker 12: it down the field of play action. He's not looking
- 54:28Speaker 12: to check it down. He's looking to throw it down
- 54:30Speaker 12: the field. And you made a great point about throwing
- 54:32Speaker 12: between the numbers. You know, that's hard to do in
- 54:35Speaker 12: this league.
- 54:36Speaker 5: You know, it's.
- 54:37Speaker 12: Different than college football, where the hash marks are wider,
- 54:40Speaker 12: and it seems like, you know, it seems like you
- 54:42Speaker 12: don't have to throw in the middle of the field.
- 54:44Speaker 12: You just work outside. In the NFL, the NFL game.
- 54:47Speaker 12: Both the run game and the pass game for the
- 54:49Speaker 12: most part are played in the middle of the field
- 54:51Speaker 12: because of the hash marks, and those are hard throws.
- 54:54Speaker 12: Those window throws versus own coverage between people or you
- 54:58Speaker 12: have to layer it just over a second level defender,
- 55:01Speaker 12: those are difficult throws and Darnold's made those throws really well. Now,
- 55:06Speaker 12: one final point I think is really important about this offense,
- 55:08Speaker 12: and it allows them to get more predictable looks. This
- 55:12Speaker 12: is a base personnel offense. They've only run eleven personnel,
- 55:17Speaker 12: meeting three wide receivers on the field about thirty five
- 55:20Speaker 12: percent of the time. They are a base personnel offense.
- 55:23Speaker 12: And by that I mean they play with multiple tight ends,
- 55:25Speaker 12: two and three tight ends, and Arroyo can line up
- 55:28Speaker 12: anywhere the rookie and Barner is actually an interesting player
- 55:31Speaker 12: as well. But the point is is you tend to
- 55:35Speaker 12: get defenses that play base defense, and so as you
- 55:39Speaker 12: know you from when you played, you know when you
- 55:42Speaker 12: defense is in base you tend to get more predictable fronts,
- 55:45Speaker 12: you tend to get more predictable coverages. The playbook isn't
- 55:48Speaker 12: as extensive in your base defense as it is in
- 55:51Speaker 12: your sub defenses, and I think that that's really helped
- 55:54Speaker 12: as well.
- 55:55Speaker 11: No, it really hasn't. And you made the point about
- 55:57Speaker 11: checkdown percentage. Out of thirty two quarterbacks, Donald is thirtieth
- 56:02Speaker 11: in his percentage of checking down right, So he does
- 56:04Speaker 11: want to push the ball down the field, and yet
- 56:06Speaker 11: his off target even though he's pushing the ball down
- 56:09Speaker 11: the field, the average off target this is coming from
- 56:12Speaker 11: the NFL staff portal, is ten point four percent of
- 56:15Speaker 11: quarterbacks or of passes. Rather our off target Donald just
- 56:20Speaker 11: six point three percent. That's second best in the NFL.
- 56:23Speaker 11: But let's shift to the targets you mentioned Barnard. I
- 56:26Speaker 11: want to get to him, but before we do that,
- 56:28Speaker 11: Jackson Smith and Jigba leading the NFL in I mean,
- 56:33Speaker 11: think of this, there's only two receivers that are over
- 56:35Speaker 11: one hundred yards a game, Poka Nicoa at one hundred
- 56:38Speaker 11: and three and JSN at one hundred and seventeen. Now
- 56:41Speaker 11: there's so much to like. I want to get your
- 56:44Speaker 11: take on what you see from him and the tape
- 56:47Speaker 11: before we talk about maybe a concern there, but just
- 56:50Speaker 11: in a general thought, what do you see from JSN
- 56:55Speaker 11: and how does he compare to the actual handful half
- 56:59Speaker 11: a dozen of very best receivers in the NFL today.
- 57:03Speaker 12: Well, I love watching him you because to me, first
- 57:06Speaker 12: of all, I think he understands how to use his
- 57:08Speaker 12: vertical stem to set up corners. And secondly, he's so
- 57:14Speaker 12: quick in and out of breaks at the top of
- 57:16Speaker 12: his stem. I remember watching him in Ohio State and thinking, boy,
- 57:20Speaker 12: this guy is so quick and that has translated to
- 57:23Speaker 12: the league. That's what he looks like. And I think
- 57:26Speaker 12: he's faster than I thought that he was when he
- 57:29Speaker 12: came into the league. I mean I remember the touchdown.
- 57:34Speaker 12: It was a couple of weeks ago. There was probably
- 57:36Speaker 12: Jacksonville when he ran the about a sixty yard touchdown
- 57:39Speaker 12: and he ran by Newsom like he wasn't there on
- 57:41Speaker 12: the post route to deep post yep. And you know,
- 57:45Speaker 12: he's just to me the way he sets up corners.
- 57:50Speaker 12: I mean, look what he did this week. You know
- 57:51Speaker 12: he had a number of matchups against Stingley. Now they
- 57:54Speaker 12: didn't end up playing matchup football the Texans. They had
- 57:57Speaker 12: Stingley play left corner and lasted to play right corner,
- 58:00Speaker 12: but he worked against both guys. I mean he ran
- 58:03Speaker 12: an outcut. I think it was nineteen yards. It was
- 58:06Speaker 12: kind of a flood concept against Stingley where he just
- 58:09Speaker 12: angled his stem a little bit inside and all it
- 58:12Speaker 12: took was for Stingley just to turn his body just
- 58:15Speaker 12: a little bit to the inside and then he knew
- 58:18Speaker 12: immediately he had the outcut and Stingley couldn't play it.
- 58:20Speaker 12: He just has such a great feel for route running,
- 58:23Speaker 12: how to use his stem, had to snap out of
- 58:25Speaker 12: his brakes. He's a really really good receiver.
- 58:29Speaker 5: Yeah, you know.
- 58:29Speaker 11: And the thing for him when you see him in person,
- 58:33Speaker 11: what struck me when I first laid eyes on him
- 58:35Speaker 11: is WHOA That dude is a low cut guy, you know,
- 58:39Speaker 11: relatively short legs, you know, good size at six', one not,
- 58:42Speaker 11: elite but not, short but a low cut. Guy and you,
- 58:48Speaker 11: Know i've played with Ten Pro bowl, receivers you, know
- 58:51Speaker 11: on the field with The seahawks, watching you, know all
- 58:54Speaker 11: the best for a few. Decades i've put my eyes
- 58:56Speaker 11: on a lot of wide. Receivers John schneider says body
- 59:00Speaker 11: rofiling is a huge part of what we. Do that's
- 59:02Speaker 11: a direct. Quote and the body profile FOR jsn with
- 59:07Speaker 11: that low center of, gravity AS i, said a low
- 59:09Speaker 11: cut guy just allows for that body. Control when he's
- 59:12Speaker 11: speed cutting, out he can just, yeah he can just turn.
- 59:14Speaker 11: That and then of course HIS iq and his his his.
- 59:17Speaker 11: HANDS i, mean there's a lot of elite factors in this.
- 59:21Speaker 5: Guy.
- 59:23Speaker 12: Yeah and it's funny you say that because he doesn't
- 59:25Speaker 12: look six to. One because of, that you, know you
- 59:28Speaker 12: almost feel like he's a smaller.
- 59:29Speaker 5: Guy but he's. Not that's the, thing you.
- 59:32Speaker 12: Know so he's he's AND i actually saw him in
- 59:34Speaker 12: person a number of years, ago he was still At Ohio,
- 59:36Speaker 12: state and he just doesn't look big in, person but
- 59:40Speaker 12: he is six y, one you.
- 59:41Speaker 5: Know and, that's LIKE i, said it's kind of.
- 59:42Speaker 11: Surprising, yeah a couple more minutes With greg cosel and And,
- 59:47Speaker 11: Greg now if there is a concern here, Here i've
- 59:49Speaker 11: kind OF i, thought wait a, minute he he has
- 59:53Speaker 11: if you take his targets and he's, seventy he's got seventy.
- 59:57Speaker 11: Targets his cats percentage nineteenth in THE, Nfl, right so
- 1:00:01Speaker 11: there's been fifty, catches so there's been twenty. Incompletions but
- 1:00:07Speaker 11: the way they are are feeding the ball to. Him
- 1:00:11Speaker 11: the next closest, Guy Cooper cup in terms of, targets
- 1:00:15Speaker 11: has forty seven point one percent of the targets THE jsn,
- 1:00:21Speaker 11: OKAY i take the top eight teams in terms of
- 1:00:26Speaker 11: the division leaders right, now they average their second most
- 1:00:30Speaker 11: targeted guy is seventy nine point four percent of their
- 1:00:34Speaker 11: most targeted. Guy and again The seahawks are way at
- 1:00:37Speaker 11: forty seven point one, percent almost less than half the
- 1:00:40Speaker 11: number three. Guy the average is sixty three percent of
- 1:00:44Speaker 11: the eight division. Leaders the third, guy which is Aj,
- 1:00:48Speaker 11: barner he has thirty one percent of the targets that
- 1:00:54Speaker 11: you see FROM. Jsn the average for the division leaders
- 1:00:57Speaker 11: is sixty three. Percent going back to the number two
- 1:01:00Speaker 11: guys over the Last Super bowl on winners that this
- 1:01:04Speaker 11: number two guy averages a little over eighty percent of
- 1:01:07Speaker 11: the top. Guy and so for for the next closest
- 1:01:12Speaker 11: guy cup to be at only seven percent of the
- 1:01:15Speaker 11: targets THAT jsn is.
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: Seeing is that?
- 1:01:18Speaker 5: Something where is that.
- 1:01:20Speaker 11: Like your cowboys riding for a fall type of a
- 1:01:23Speaker 11: concern or just what do you think about the imbalance
- 1:01:26Speaker 11: in that?
- 1:01:26Speaker 12: REGARD i think that that's somewhat camouflaged and compensated for
- 1:01:33Speaker 12: by their use of base, personnel BECAUSE i think it's
- 1:01:36Speaker 12: harder for teams to do a lot of different things
- 1:01:39Speaker 12: defensively if they're in their base. Defense so is that
- 1:01:42Speaker 12: something they probably would like to work on and change
- 1:01:45Speaker 12: a little.
- 1:01:46Speaker 5: Bit, Probably BUT i would.
- 1:01:48Speaker 12: Think that right now they don't view, that you as
- 1:01:50Speaker 12: a big issue because you know the thing About smith
- 1:01:54Speaker 12: And jigba and. YOU i talked about this With ian
- 1:01:56Speaker 12: when when the trade when they ended up getting, cut
- 1:02:00Speaker 12: and right away a lot of people immediately, said, oh,
- 1:02:02Speaker 12: well what are they doing they got two slot. Receivers,
- 1:02:05Speaker 12: well first of, All smith And jigger they knew what
- 1:02:07Speaker 12: he was and he's lined up about eighty percent of
- 1:02:09Speaker 12: his routes on the, outside you, know not in the,
- 1:02:12Speaker 12: slot because they knew he could do. That So i'm
- 1:02:15Speaker 12: curious to see if that. Changes but you, KNOW i
- 1:02:19Speaker 12: don't think they're going to dramatically change how much they
- 1:02:22Speaker 12: play at a base personnel with multiple tight ends BECAUSE
- 1:02:25Speaker 12: i think that's been really successful for them and they're
- 1:02:27Speaker 12: going to make teams defend.
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: That my last question for we make a rual last
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: one because we don't want to lose time here to
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: you fire away don't get yeah right, yeah fireway three two.
- 1:02:36Speaker 11: One my last question For greg you Mentioned barnard hit
- 1:02:40Speaker 11: on him, quickly and Then i'm going to leave it
- 1:02:42Speaker 11: open end at any other personnel or schematic things that
- 1:02:47Speaker 11: you see From seattle that either impress you or if
- 1:02:50Speaker 11: there's a concern if you're A sea off, fan what
- 1:02:52Speaker 11: you see from this.
- 1:02:53Speaker 12: Offense, well the guy That i'm most intrigued is the season,
- 1:02:57Speaker 12: progresses Is, arroyo the rookie tight in From. Miami BECAUSE
- 1:03:01Speaker 12: i think that he has a vertical dimension to his.
- 1:03:04Speaker 12: Game he can stretch it. OUT i think he's got
- 1:03:06Speaker 12: the ability to be what we, called you, know the
- 1:03:08Speaker 12: BOUNDARY x on the back side of, trips where he's
- 1:03:11Speaker 12: the single receiver to the short side of the field
- 1:03:13Speaker 12: and you can put three wide outs to the wide
- 1:03:15Speaker 12: side of the field and that can dictate to the
- 1:03:18Speaker 12: quarterback pre snap. Exactly How, So i'm really anxious to
- 1:03:23Speaker 12: see you how they deploy Your royo as the season
- 1:03:26Speaker 12: progresses and as he continues to develop in the.
- 1:03:28Speaker 11: Offense, Well i'll tell You, Ian greg AND i have

- 1:09:53Speaker 2: what they'll use the excuse. Of i'll just, Say i'll
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: look back to a couple of games last year when
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: he didn't score in the second half and, say there's, Him,
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: arbuckle are not the geniuses you think they. Are, Nevertheless
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: ole Miss, EH i would TAKE i would take, quarterback running,
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: back offensive, line and wide. Receiver corps For washington Over
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: Ole miss any day and all. Day and they're number
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: seven in the.
- 1:10:14Speaker 3: Country oh my, GOD i have to ADMIT i agree with.
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: You you watched you watched, Them YEAH i did. Right,
- 1:10:20Speaker 3: Yes washington didn't get in the top twenty. Five but
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: a team that is in the top twenty five is
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: What i'm going with today for my fact or fiction.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Pick they are number eight in the. Country just the
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: rambling wreck Of Georgia. Tech they are on the, road
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: taken on the Fighting Matt chasenows Of North Carolina. State
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: Georgia tech is a six point. FAVORITE i think that's
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: too low For Georgia. TECH acc is not. Good. NOW
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: i get that they're not. Good and first of, ALL
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: i Love Haynes. KING i think he's, special like college
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: football wise. Special the problem you will have For Georgia.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Tech Hollywood, smothers the running back For North Carolina state's
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: really good And Georgia tech has some. INJURIES i get,
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: that But i'm telling you right, Now Haines king is
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: the difference. Maker they are playing for something. More right.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: Now Is Georgia tech sitting there a perfect eight and?
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: Zero North carolina say is not good at? All. Jazz
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: you made a. Mistake now you didn't make a. Mistake
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: you helped your. CAREER i get, YOU i get what you're,
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: doing BUT i think that line is, way, way way too.
- 1:11:31Speaker 13: Small all, Right so the pick is.
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: It Is Georgia tech minus six Against North Carolina state fact,
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: four nine four or five to. One Georgia tech's a
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: potential playoff. Team they're not going to lose this, game
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: AND i think they're going to easily pull away and
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: win by more than a. Touchdown Georgia tech minus, six
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: fact four nine four or five. One if you disagree
- 1:11:48Speaker 2: fiction four nine four or five, one then you ask,

- 1:18:26Speaker 2: well there might be some, shuffling but they're in the
- 1:18:28Speaker 2: same Groupings.
- 1:18:30Speaker 15: Tony tony Castra cone did a great job on his
- 1:18:32Speaker 15: Little twitter account there of kind of talking about where
- 1:18:36Speaker 15: The huskies. Are besides THE ap, pole a lot of
- 1:18:39Speaker 15: other metrics and rankings and polls that show The huskies

- 1:24:45Speaker 2: Well BUT i want to hear this is this we
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: set this. UP i Asked chris And nate on our
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: Last mollywop, today very simple, question same THING i just
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: Asked softie one week. Later how would you describe The mariners?
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: Season which we'll get to in just a. Second i'm
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: getting a finger pointed at me right. Now, oh, yes it.
- 1:25:08Speaker 13: Was can we clarify the finger it?
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: Was it was an index. Finger it was an index.
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: Finger it was not a middle.
- 1:25:14Speaker 8: Finger qualifying THAT i had to make sure it was
- 1:25:16Speaker 8: cued up properly And we're, ready all.
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: Right Ask chris And nate again fallne mile wap of the,
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: year how would you describe the matter?
- 1:25:21Speaker 6: Season so we have to be simple because we don't
- 1:25:24Speaker 6: have like two hours to talk about this one simple.
- 1:25:27Speaker 6: Question but, uh, briefly, YEAH i think it is a.
- 1:25:31Speaker 6: SUCCESS i think that it's hard to say that this
- 1:25:33Speaker 6: team winning its first division in twenty, three twenty four,
- 1:25:37Speaker 6: years excuse, me making the longest postseason run that it's
- 1:25:40Speaker 6: ever made in its franchise's, history and providing a new
- 1:25:44Speaker 6: generation or generations of baseball fans with memories that they
- 1:25:47Speaker 6: are going to hold close to their hearts for the
- 1:25:49Speaker 6: rest of their. Lives a? Failure now is it? Enough
- 1:25:56Speaker 6: WHICH i think is a separate but related. QUESTION i
- 1:25:59Speaker 6: don't think that it's. Enough i'm not satisfied with the
- 1:26:03Speaker 6: twenty twenty Five seattle, marriages even THOUGH i THINK i
- 1:26:06Speaker 6: would qualify them as a Success Ian Chris.
- 1:26:10Speaker 7: Crawford some of this is hard to answer Because i'm
- 1:26:16Speaker 7: STILL i am still raw from that. GAME i am
- 1:26:19Speaker 7: still emotionally. Invested for those who don't, KNOW i work
- 1:26:22Speaker 7: FOR Nbc sports AND i cover baseball games for them
- 1:26:28Speaker 7: quite a, bit AND i was tasked with Covering game,
- 1:26:31Speaker 7: one AND i couldn't watch. IT i followed it. ONLINE
- 1:26:34Speaker 7: i was praying, That, YEAH i was praying that there
- 1:26:37Speaker 7: was a not an injury THAT i would, miss BECAUSE
- 1:26:40Speaker 7: i would get fired IF i. Did BUT i recapt
- 1:26:44Speaker 7: the entire thing based on the box score BECAUSE i
- 1:26:45Speaker 7: couldn't watch. IT i am still emotionally raw from that.
- 1:26:50Speaker 7: Game AND i will look back on this season at
- 1:26:52Speaker 7: some point and, say holy. Crap they won the division
- 1:26:56Speaker 7: for the first time in twenty four. Years they had
- 1:26:58Speaker 7: a catcher hit sixty homer and then hit five more
- 1:27:01Speaker 7: in the. Postseason they made a couple of my favorite
- 1:27:04Speaker 7: trades that they've ever made at the, deadline AND i
- 1:27:07Speaker 7: will look back on, that AND i will look back
- 1:27:09Speaker 7: on that. Fondly BUT i am so freaking tired of
- 1:27:12Speaker 7: consolation prizes being A seattle sports. Fan i'm so tired of.
- 1:27:15Speaker 7: It i'm so tired of, it and being one game
- 1:27:18Speaker 7: away from doing something that you've never done just pisses
- 1:27:22Speaker 7: me off. More it just makes me. ANGRIER i wish
- 1:27:24Speaker 7: they would have just lost To detroit in. Three i'm
- 1:27:27Speaker 7: not gonna lie to. You it would have been a
- 1:27:28Speaker 7: lot easier AND i could have looked back and, said,
- 1:27:31Speaker 7: ah there's still some good, stuff and then seeing all
- 1:27:33Speaker 7: this stuff about how, oh this is just the. Beginning
- 1:27:36Speaker 7: this is just the, beginning, guys forty eight, years it's
- 1:27:39Speaker 7: been a long freaking. Beginning if this is the, beginning
- 1:27:42Speaker 7: these are the longest freaking movie credits of all. Time,
- 1:27:45Speaker 7: LIKE i DON'T i don't want to be, satisfied and
- 1:27:49Speaker 7: nobody is. Said i'm not even saying anybody is, satisfied
- 1:27:53Speaker 7: BUT i kind of And i'm. Not i'm not trying
- 1:27:56Speaker 7: to devalue how anyone feels or take away BECAUSE i

- 1:28:11Speaker 7: That we should be talking about The mariners playing in
- 1:28:14Speaker 7: The World. Series we should be talking About George kirby
- 1:28:17Speaker 7: starting Against Tyler glassan now. Tonight we should be talking about.
- 1:28:21Speaker 7: That So i'm not quite ready to do this. Yet
- 1:28:24Speaker 7: i'm not quite ready to give, you my, boy what
- 1:28:27Speaker 7: a wonderful. Season at some POINT i, will but it's
- 1:28:30Speaker 7: so freaking raw And i'm so freaking pissed that they

- 1:28:36Speaker 2: It good stuff From chris And. Nate big thanks to
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: those guys again this. Year the entire episode from earlier
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: today is up on the podcast. Page speaking of, which
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: let's hear from you. Guys we had a couple of
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: talk backs BEFORE i wrap things up with the text
- 1:28:48Speaker 2: fire away.
- 1:28:48Speaker 17: Jess, hey, Guys chip, HERE i have determined that this
- 1:28:52Speaker 17: is a fork in the road off season for. Ownership
- 1:28:54Speaker 17: they have said they will spend when the time. Comes,
- 1:28:57Speaker 17: well now is the. Time i'm not suggesting you ring
- 1:29:00Speaker 17: sign every big free, agent but you start payroll where
- 1:29:03Speaker 17: it was it in the last, year at at The
- 1:29:05Speaker 17: All star. Break, okay fair. Enough it doesn't have to
- 1:29:08Speaker 17: be all in the off. Season but they have said
- 1:29:10Speaker 17: when the time is, right they will make the. Moves
- 1:29:12Speaker 17: now is the, time Sign, naylor bring in someone, else
- 1:29:15Speaker 17: shore up the, bullpen and when the time, comes make
- 1:29:17Speaker 17: the big.
- 1:29:18Speaker 18: Trade Hither, Ian, Jessamine Chris. Emberien so the five stages of,
- 1:29:23Speaker 18: grief starting with, denial then, anger than, bargaining then, depression
- 1:29:30Speaker 18: and then. Acceptance i'm somewhere in between depression and. Acceptance
- 1:29:37Speaker 18: but you trigger, Me i'll go right into. Anger so
- 1:29:40Speaker 18: but as far as HOW i feel about the season,
- 1:29:42Speaker 18: overall we gotta see what happens in the off season
- 1:29:46Speaker 18: and ultimately next, year because the story is.
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: Unfinished good stuff along the, way all, RIGHT a couple
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: of texts four, nine four to five one give the,
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: question how would you describe The mariner? Season eight outs
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: away four two five? Shoot all they had to do
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: was go two and three after the first two, victories
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: it would have been The World series just two and
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: three two a six area. Code if you told me
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year The marrions would have
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: been nine ounce away from The World, SERIES i would
- 1:30:12Speaker 2: have been blown. Away very. Successful season final went out
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: and spent dollars to pick up hitters and it paid.
- 1:30:16Speaker 2: Off cal's year. Unbelievable this will be a less painful
- 1:30:19Speaker 2: to get there and. Win would you rather get to
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: The World series and lose? There that would be even more?
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: Painful great, year let's fallo up next year where The
