Speaker 2: and welcome in the radio show. It is Chuck Powell
1:02
Speaker 2: and Ashley Ryan with you here on this Tuesday morning.
1:05
Speaker 2: Great to have you with us. We've got you for
1:08
Speaker 2: the next four hours as we will take you to
1:10
Speaker 2: ten o'clock today talking about all sorts of things in
1:14
Speaker 2: the world of sports, including a red hot baseball team
1:17
Speaker 2: that has now won seven consecutive games. We'll get to
1:20
Speaker 2: that in a moment, but of course we'll also be
1:23
Speaker 2: talking about and with a lot of our experts, the
1:26
Speaker 2: blockbuster trade yesterday in the National Football League. Of course,
1:30
Speaker 2: so we are wondering which billionaire is just gonna float
1:34
Speaker 2: his yacht up to the station today.
1:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, do we have any yachts out there?
1:37
Speaker 2: Yes, so, sir, I haven't seen anything just yet. Yeah,
1:39
Speaker 2: but yeah, we had one yesterday. I guess some time.
1:42
Speaker 2: I guess Facebook boy rolled by here yesterday. A lot
1:45
Speaker 2: of different theories as to why he might have done that.
1:48
Speaker 1: Apparently meta payswell.
1:50
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're Mark Zuckerberg, Yeah, if you are
1:53
Speaker 3: one of the employees thousands of employees that got laid off, I.
1:56
Speaker 2: Wonder with Zuckerberg, if you know you got that much money,
2:00
Speaker 2: which basically you stole, and if you do just basically
2:06
Speaker 2: wear hoodies all the time that's pretty much all you wear,
2:09
Speaker 2: I would think that's a great opportunity to like save
2:12
Speaker 2: a lot of money.
2:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, because your wardrobe is all hoodies and you're not
2:18
Speaker 2: wearing like suits and stuff like that. You're not barely
2:20
Speaker 2: a fashionista, right, And yet something tells me that he's
2:25
Speaker 2: got to feel like he's wearing something expensive. So my
2:30
Speaker 2: guess is that he has like million dollar hoodies just
2:32
Speaker 2: to feel like he's fancy.
2:34
Speaker 3: I think that's all billion millionaires or billionaires that wear
2:37
Speaker 3: like T shirts all the time. The sweatshirts are it's
2:40
Speaker 3: not like they went to the gap, right.
2:42
Speaker 2: No, But I mean, what's the highest you would spend
2:45
Speaker 2: on a T shirt.
2:46
Speaker 1: That I would spend on a T shirt? Twenty dollars?
2:48
Speaker 3: Twenty dollars Okay, So it's like, if it's like a
2:51
Speaker 3: you know, like a Maritor T shirt, you're gonna spend
2:52
Speaker 3: probably like forty dollars.
2:53
Speaker 2: But put yourself in the shoes of anybody. I mean,
2:57
Speaker 2: what is the highest Like if money was no object,
2:59
Speaker 2: what I mean, what is an expensive T shirt?
3:02
Speaker 3: I can I imagine there's like T shirts that are
3:05
Speaker 3: like three hundred dollars.
3:07
Speaker 2: Three hundred dollars. Still, that's not even making a dent. No,
3:09
Speaker 2: the fortunes of a person like this, they'd feel.
3:12
Speaker 1: Pretty gross to spend three hundred dollars on us.
3:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know they probably waste a lot more
3:17
Speaker 2: money in a lot of other areas. So I would
3:20
Speaker 2: think three hundred. But if you're sitting there like, no, no, no, no,
3:25
Speaker 2: I've got to have this fabric that was made, you know,
3:31
Speaker 2: by the hands of babies in Malaysia, and it costs
3:37
Speaker 2: three million dollars to get that kind of baby quality.
3:42
Speaker 2: You know, if you're just like I will spend whatever
3:45
Speaker 2: it takes. I still want to wear a hoodie, but
3:46
Speaker 2: I also have to wear really expensive stuff.
3:49
Speaker 1: Got to be really soft, really soft?
3:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, are we growing? You know? I grew
3:56
Speaker 2: my own alpaca arm in Mongolia. He might have done
4:00
Speaker 2: that in order to have the softest thread hair hair
4:04
Speaker 2: thread possible for this sweatshirt. It costs four and a
4:08
Speaker 2: half million dollars and I've got fifty of them.
4:11
Speaker 3: I'd be like, sir, if you could just give that
4:13
Speaker 3: to us or the Facebook employees.
4:16
Speaker 2: I do want to know that he didn't skimp on
4:18
Speaker 2: the boat. I'll tell you that. Yeah.
4:19
Speaker 3: Did he take the boat up here to lay off
4:21
Speaker 3: all the people?
4:22
Speaker 1: Last week?
4:22
Speaker 3: I have no one and just hung out for the
4:24
Speaker 3: weekend and was like, you know what, Seattle's really nice.
4:26
Speaker 2: It's really rubbing it in people's faces. It really are as.
4:29
Speaker 3: We're just sitting there at work yesterday looking out like
4:32
Speaker 3: that's a nice yacht? Is that?
4:33
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, you came in to fire everyone. You're just like,
4:37
Speaker 2: you know what, while we're here firing everyone, why don't
4:40
Speaker 2: we enjoy my wealth? Yeah?
4:41
Speaker 1: Why don't you guys? Come sit on my yacht.
4:43
Speaker 2: No, not you guys.
4:44
Speaker 1: You guys that I fired. I don't think about like
4:46
Speaker 1: the other people that are up here with me.
4:48
Speaker 2: No, the one other person that I brought. Let's really
4:51
Speaker 2: flaunt this. And by the way, go get my l
4:53
Speaker 2: pack of sweatshirts out of the car.
4:55
Speaker 1: The car.
4:56
Speaker 2: All right, well, good morning to you. Welcome into the
4:59
Speaker 2: race show. It is Ashley Ryan, it is Chuck Powell,
5:03
Speaker 2: and we have a lot of things to discuss today.
5:06
Speaker 2: What's on tap coming up in a moment, I'll tell
5:08
Speaker 2: you who's going to join us to discuss these things
5:10
Speaker 2: on the program because it should be rather riveting, I
5:13
Speaker 2: would think before it all comes to a close. But
5:16
Speaker 2: let's start with the National Football League. My goodness, it
5:20
Speaker 2: was one of those am I seeing this the right
5:22
Speaker 2: way kind of moments as a sports fan, especially the
5:25
Speaker 2: modern day sports fan, and that is the sports fan
5:28
Speaker 2: that has a phone with them at all times and
5:31
Speaker 2: is constantly harassed by Adam Schefter. Doesn't matter what time
5:35
Speaker 2: of day or night I get text from Adam Schefter.
5:38
Speaker 1: Oh that means he really likes you.
5:40
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm just on the group thing that he does.
5:44
Speaker 2: I don't even know I didn't even sign up for it,
5:46
Speaker 2: but apparently I get Adam Schefter tweets and they will
5:49
Speaker 2: come constantly, but not many like this as we found
5:54
Speaker 2: out yesterday, and a blockbuster headline that the Los Angeles Ran,
6:00
Speaker 2: our chief rival in the division, our chief rival for
6:03
Speaker 2: winning the Super Bowl, trying to go back to back,
6:06
Speaker 2: have added the best defensive player in the world, Miles Garrett.
6:11
Speaker 2: What a trade yesterday. You don't see many this big
6:15
Speaker 2: Garrett going to the Rams in exchange for young pass
6:18
Speaker 2: rushing star Jared Verse. Also a first round draft pick
6:23
Speaker 2: this year, a second round draft pick next year, and
6:26
Speaker 2: then a third round draft pick in the year twenty
6:29
Speaker 2: twenty nine, all part of the package to land Miles
6:33
Speaker 2: Garrett in Los Angeles. And so now suddenly the team
6:38
Speaker 2: that was supposed to be the team that was the
6:41
Speaker 2: biggest threat to the Seahawks trying to repeat the Super
6:43
Speaker 2: Bowl has the reigning MVP on their roster back and signed,
6:49
Speaker 2: and the reigning defensive player of the Year on their
6:52
Speaker 2: roster coming off a record breaking season. There's really no
6:56
Speaker 2: way to chop this up, slice it up, and come
6:58
Speaker 2: away feeling better about your chances than you did twenty
7:02
Speaker 2: four hours ago when we started this show. I mean,
7:05
Speaker 2: you can try. You can dip into your you can
7:08
Speaker 2: jump into your seahawk pool and wrap yourself and your
7:11
Speaker 2: you know, pour some seahawk bubbles and wrap yourself in
7:14
Speaker 2: a seahawk blanket if you'd like, and try to convince
7:18
Speaker 2: yourself that, no, we're better off today than what we
7:21
Speaker 2: were twenty four hours ago. But the truth of the
7:24
Speaker 2: matter is they just sign one of the greatest pass
7:27
Speaker 2: rushers in the history of the NFL. It happens to
7:30
Speaker 2: be a very valuable position. And even though Jared Verse
7:35
Speaker 2: was good, very good, this guy is undeniably great. And
7:40
Speaker 2: so the Rams have gotten better since last you and
7:44
Speaker 2: I stared at each other through this glass window of ours.
7:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, they absolutely have.
7:49
Speaker 3: And I am wondering if the Seahawks are going to
7:51
Speaker 3: do anything or if they're confident in where they are.
7:53
Speaker 3: And part of me thought, yesterday, well, you know what, Yeah,
7:57
Speaker 3: the Rams are better, but it's just gonna feel that
7:59
Speaker 3: much better that are when we kick their butts at
8:01
Speaker 3: the end of the year.
8:02
Speaker 1: And then I thought, God, I hope we can kick
8:04
Speaker 1: their butts at the end of the year.
8:05
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, sure that can still happen. I think
8:10
Speaker 2: that the Seahawks are still on a trajectory of getting better.
8:13
Speaker 1: Yep.
8:14
Speaker 2: It doesn't sound like there's any kind of complacency over there.
8:18
Speaker 2: As Devin Witherspoon, who's potentially looking for a new deal
8:23
Speaker 2: himself this offseason, is the first guy reporting to everything
8:26
Speaker 2: that looks like a practice. It feels like they're as
8:30
Speaker 2: hungry as ever. Mike McDonald's track records suggests that his
8:34
Speaker 2: defenses just keep getting better on his watch, which they
8:37
Speaker 2: did from year number one to year number two, and
8:39
Speaker 2: I suspect it's going to get even better in year
8:42
Speaker 2: number three. Absolutely, we have a burgeoning superstar potentially in
8:45
Speaker 2: Byron Murphy, who we just talked about yesterday for twenty
8:48
Speaker 2: minutes with Corbyn Smith. So that's probably going to get better.
8:52
Speaker 2: I mean, there is an element of respect being shown
8:56
Speaker 2: here by the Los Angeles rams as to the beast
8:59
Speaker 2: that there are against. I will give the Kaam's credit
9:03
Speaker 2: for this. Sean McVeigh doesn't seem to have the Mike
9:06
Speaker 2: McDonald's struggles that Kyle shanahan does. McDonald is way up
9:11
Speaker 2: in that ferret headed face of Kyle Shanahan. He's he
9:16
Speaker 2: knows everything he's gonna do before he ever does it.
9:20
Speaker 2: McVeigh struggled the first time in three meetings last year,
9:24
Speaker 2: and then the second two times it was McDonald, Chas
9:27
Speaker 2: and McVay, and it's in the other two matchups, and
9:30
Speaker 2: oddly enough, we won.
9:31
Speaker 1: The first, yes, lost the first and one and then one.
9:34
Speaker 2: The other two. And nonetheless, Sean McVay didn't seem to
9:39
Speaker 2: have Mike McDonald issues when it came to putting points
9:43
Speaker 2: on the board like Kyle Shanahan did. And yet still
9:47
Speaker 2: there's no way sitting on that momentum, if you will,
9:52
Speaker 2: even though they're on a two game losing streak and
9:55
Speaker 2: they did not win the Super Bowl, I think there
9:58
Speaker 2: was a absolute hip of the cap of that team's
10:03
Speaker 2: gonna keep getting better defensively, they're gonna keep being difficult.
10:08
Speaker 2: I don't know how good they're going to get on
10:11
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. I don't know how
10:13
Speaker 2: many points we're gonna be able to put up on
10:15
Speaker 2: the board against that dude and the athletes that he's assembling,
10:19
Speaker 2: and the way everybody's buying into that program over there.
10:23
Speaker 2: We've got to have a better defense. And even though
10:26
Speaker 2: we were good with Jared Verse, and we were one
10:29
Speaker 2: of the best teams in the NFL and if not
10:31
Speaker 2: our two part convergent, we would have won it all.
10:34
Speaker 3: That's the thing that screwed him up, right right, Yeah,
10:36
Speaker 3: that's that's it.
10:37
Speaker 2: It really comes down to that. That's what it was.
10:43
Speaker 2: Clearly why you didn't win the Super Bowl, idiots. And
10:47
Speaker 2: so this is them saying, we're all in on this.
10:52
Speaker 2: We gave up a really nice package for this player.
10:57
Speaker 2: A lot of people and I think maybe even myself
11:00
Speaker 2: might weigh that trade as a Cleveland Browns win yesterday.
11:06
Speaker 2: And yet this is an organization and I don't know,
11:09
Speaker 2: maybe Sean McVay constantly thinks he's only gonna coach for
11:12
Speaker 2: one more year. I don't know. But this is an
11:15
Speaker 2: organization more so than any other in the National Football League,
11:18
Speaker 2: that is in the moment, even more so than San Francisco,
11:21
Speaker 2: even more so than Philadelphia. The Los Angeles Rams are
11:25
Speaker 2: in the moment. What's it gonna take to win the
11:27
Speaker 2: Super Bowl? Right now? I prefer to be on a
11:30
Speaker 2: Seahawks quest, on a Seahawks timeline like they're on right now,
11:34
Speaker 2: where we're still the team to beat. I don't care
11:37
Speaker 2: what you add, we're the defending champs and we're set
11:39
Speaker 2: up beautifully for the next ten years to just keep
11:42
Speaker 2: this thing going. Who knows how many we can rack up.
11:45
Speaker 2: We'll see. I'd rather be on that trajectory. But I
11:49
Speaker 2: do have to acknowledge, man, they when they go all in,
11:53
Speaker 2: they go all in, and they've gone all in on this,
11:56
Speaker 2: and I think it's it's around the datement of man.
12:01
Speaker 2: We have to give up fewer points, period. And even
12:04
Speaker 2: though we have a very good player at edge, the
12:07
Speaker 2: opportunity to get a great player, a transcendent player, maybe
12:11
Speaker 2: the best player defensively in the world right now, and
12:15
Speaker 2: we're going to go for that, and we're going to
12:17
Speaker 2: become that much better of a team. And I don't
12:19
Speaker 2: think there's any way that we can convince ourselves here
12:22
Speaker 2: in Seattle that our chief competitor for the Super Bowl
12:26
Speaker 2: Crown just got better yesterday.
12:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't ignore it, and you can't pretend that
12:30
Speaker 3: it's not something that's going to be. You know, an
12:33
Speaker 3: extra thought for Mike McDonald as he plans to play
12:37
Speaker 3: the Rams twice a very pivotal time of the year.
12:40
Speaker 3: I mean, we are first game against the Rams is
12:42
Speaker 3: on Christmas Christmas Day, so two games at the end
12:46
Speaker 3: of the year that we're going to be playing this team.
12:47
Speaker 3: And I understand why the Rams are all in too.
12:50
Speaker 3: I mean with Stafford aging and the fact that you
12:52
Speaker 3: had you know, they didn't know if if he was
12:54
Speaker 3: even going to be able to play all of last
12:56
Speaker 3: season because at the beginning of the season he had
12:58
Speaker 3: back problems. And so if you're dealing with that and
13:00
Speaker 3: you don't know how fragile he may or may not be.
13:03
Speaker 3: Obviously proved to be not as fragile and win the
13:05
Speaker 3: MVP Award, but you just don't know, and they don't
13:08
Speaker 3: know what kind of timeline he's really realistically on.
13:11
Speaker 1: So I get it. Yeah, go be the best you
13:13
Speaker 1: can be right now and see what happens.
13:15
Speaker 2: Well, even if there's not an injury his time, I
13:17
Speaker 2: mean's thirty eight years old, right, that timeline is probably
13:20
Speaker 2: two years. They just drafted a quarterback with the first
13:22
Speaker 2: round selection. So they're trying to win the next two
13:27
Speaker 2: Super Bowls with Stafford and Nakua and Garrett as their foundation.
13:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they improve their secondary well, yeah, exactly.
13:37
Speaker 2: And they've added mcduffee this offseason as well, and those
13:41
Speaker 2: are that's a hell of a foundation to work off
13:44
Speaker 2: of it, and certainly it feels like they've gotten better.
13:47
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, your rumors about Aaron
13:49
Speaker 2: Donald maybe he wants to come back now, and now
13:51
Speaker 2: it gets even more terrifying for the Seattle Seahawks. But
13:57
Speaker 2: there's no question that they got better yesterday. I mean,
14:01
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here and I'm like, Okay, maybe the Cleveland
14:04
Speaker 2: Browns did win this trade. I think that there's an
14:07
Speaker 2: argument to be made for that they're not ready to
14:10
Speaker 2: win right now. They don't have their Matt Stafford in place,
14:13
Speaker 2: nothing anywhere close to Matt Stafford in place. They're not
14:17
Speaker 2: going to win this season. They know they're not going
14:19
Speaker 2: to win this season. And Miles Garrett, even though he's
14:23
Speaker 2: not old, is thirty years old. By the time they're
14:26
Speaker 2: ready to win, he's thirty two. That is probably going
14:29
Speaker 2: to be a declined player by the time they are
14:31
Speaker 2: ready quarterback wise to have a shot at this thing.
14:35
Speaker 2: So while they're trying to fix their roster and make
14:37
Speaker 2: it like the Seahawks championship caliber, they move Garrett now
14:44
Speaker 2: for a twenty five year old edge rusher who's much
14:47
Speaker 2: more affordable at this stage that by the time that
14:50
Speaker 2: their quarterback theoretically is ready to go, whoever that might
14:54
Speaker 2: be in twenty twenty eight, you've got a twenty seven
14:59
Speaker 2: year old edg rusher who's should be in the prime
15:03
Speaker 2: of his career. Plus they just got a first round
15:06
Speaker 2: draft pick as well, so they can tack that onto
15:09
Speaker 2: what they already have and in a quarterback draft might
15:12
Speaker 2: be able to move up into the top spot even
15:14
Speaker 2: if they don't have the worst record in the National
15:16
Speaker 2: Football League. Plus you got a second rounder and a
15:19
Speaker 2: third rounder over the course of the next couple of years.
15:22
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people, a lot of smart
15:23
Speaker 2: people that are saying the Cleveland Browns won the trade overall,
15:28
Speaker 2: and I'll hear that argument, But right now, what makes
15:32
Speaker 2: us better? Jared Verse has twelve sacks in his NFL
15:36
Speaker 2: career over two seasons. Miles Garrett had twenty three last year. Yeah,
15:40
Speaker 2: so Miles Garrett has had twice the number of sacks
15:44
Speaker 2: than Jared Verse in half the amount of time. That's
15:48
Speaker 2: how good he is, that's how what a difference maker
15:51
Speaker 2: that he is. It's got thirty seven over the last
15:53
Speaker 2: two years, so three times the sacks. Now Jared Versus young,
15:57
Speaker 2: probably getting better, probably was going to have a bigger
15:59
Speaker 2: sack number this year year. He's third I think in
16:01
Speaker 2: the National Football Tame and pressure, So he wasn't getting
16:03
Speaker 2: to the quarterback, but he was harassing the quarterback, and
16:05
Speaker 2: a lot of people will tell you that's the more
16:07
Speaker 2: important statistic because you were affecting more passes, more plays
16:12
Speaker 2: by getting that many pressures on them, and sometimes you
16:15
Speaker 2: just don't always get to the quarterback and bring him down.
16:19
Speaker 2: So Jared Versus certainly on a path to become a
16:22
Speaker 2: great defensive end, but they know that Miles Garrett already
16:26
Speaker 2: is that. So it's a it's a bit of a
16:30
Speaker 2: certainly an eye opener. My goodness, did that come as
16:34
Speaker 2: a shock coming over the wire yesterday. And sounds like
16:38
Speaker 2: the Rams have been working on bringing him in for
16:40
Speaker 2: the last four years. That's the report as now. NFL
16:43
Speaker 2: insiders everywhere wants you to believe I had this story four.
16:46
Speaker 3: Years ago, right of course, but when you said it,
16:49
Speaker 3: I thought it was a joke. I was like, there's
16:50
Speaker 3: got to be some parody account that's putting this out there,
16:53
Speaker 3: like it didn't seem real.
16:54
Speaker 2: Oh no, And it's fine. I don't your parody accounts.
16:56
Speaker 2: Text to me just Adam, just Adam Schefter sometimes at
16:59
Speaker 2: three in the morning.
17:00
Speaker 1: Oh that's nice of him. He just wants to make
17:01
Speaker 1: sure you know he's there.
17:02
Speaker 3: I will say I could I see for sure that
17:05
Speaker 3: both of them won because both of them got what
17:07
Speaker 3: they needed right now. I mean, Cleveland got what they
17:10
Speaker 3: need to start building their team of the future and
17:13
Speaker 3: the Rams got what they need to try and win
17:15
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl this year. So I'd say it's a
17:17
Speaker 3: win win for both teams and they should both be
17:19
Speaker 3: thrilled with it.
17:20
Speaker 2: I agree, But it is a loss for the Seahawks. Yes, yeah,
17:24
Speaker 2: so I agree with you. I think Cleveland got what
17:27
Speaker 2: they needed out of it. They have to project two
17:29
Speaker 2: years from now because they don't have a quarterback.
17:31
Speaker 1: Right and then you use those two draft picks, and yeah,
17:33
Speaker 1: go get them.
17:34
Speaker 2: And I think the Rams went from having a very
17:36
Speaker 2: good on his way to being great defensive end and
17:39
Speaker 2: they traded him for the best defensive player in the world.
17:42
Speaker 2: So I think they both won for what they were
17:45
Speaker 2: going after and where their timelines currently sit. But from
17:49
Speaker 2: whoever lost in the trade Seahawks forty nine ers and.
17:53
Speaker 1: Cardinals well, the Cardinals have lost a lot.
17:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see, you're right. Maybe we don't even put
17:58
Speaker 2: the Cardinals in there, because I mean thinking about the
18:00
Speaker 2: big picture just yet. But Seahawks, certainly we lost yesterday
18:05
Speaker 2: because the Rams got better that much better since last
18:10
Speaker 2: week spoke. So we'll talk about it. How much better.
18:13
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not worried about it. I'm ready to
18:17
Speaker 2: go to war with them.
18:18
Speaker 1: I'm ready. But it does worry me a little bit,
18:21
Speaker 1: for sure.
18:21
Speaker 2: I'm fine, I think, yeah, I think he got better.
18:24
Speaker 2: But man, a football season, that's a hell of a thing.
18:26
Speaker 2: A football season.
18:27
Speaker 1: Yep, you never know what's going to happen.
18:29
Speaker 2: We don't even meet you till the last two to
18:30
Speaker 2: three games of the year, and who knows. Maybe Miles
18:34
Speaker 2: Garret's not even healthy by then, maybe Matt Stafford's not
18:37
Speaker 2: maybe both are not even healthy. Who knows. During the
18:39
Speaker 2: course of a season, you don't need to knock on
18:41
Speaker 2: wood I'm talking about there. Oh I know.
18:43
Speaker 1: But then I was thinking, if you're talking about that,
18:44
Speaker 1: what about our guys?
18:45
Speaker 3: So then I started to knock on because I just
18:47
Speaker 3: can't not so so.
18:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who knows what can happen during the
18:52
Speaker 2: course of the season. But on paper, certainly the Rams
18:55
Speaker 2: are a better football team. All right, let's find out
18:57
Speaker 2: what's on tap for the rest of the show coming on, Chuck,
19:01
Speaker 2: and what's until what's untel? All right, here's what we
19:06
Speaker 2: got coming up. Hugh Millan's going to be joining us
19:08
Speaker 2: today at seven five. So yes, of course, a trade
19:11
Speaker 2: of this significance we got to bring in our QB
19:14
Speaker 2: one today. So we'll chat with Hugh today about the move.
19:18
Speaker 2: We'll also ask him if the Hawks need to counter
19:21
Speaker 2: this Miles Garrett move, we'll talk about it ourselves. Coming
19:24
Speaker 2: up at six forty five, there was another big trade.
19:26
Speaker 2: This was the trade that was supposed to go down.
19:28
Speaker 2: It was supposed to be just AJ Brown day, and
19:31
Speaker 2: the Rams screwed that up.
19:33
Speaker 1: Oh, they stole all of the thunder.
19:35
Speaker 2: AJ Brown goes to New England. That was the worst
19:38
Speaker 2: kept secret in the National Football League. I mean, Diana
19:41
Speaker 2: Russini's known it for years. Yeah, he's known it for years.
19:45
Speaker 2: But she's really good of what she does.
19:47
Speaker 1: Yep, she gets it all above board, right.
19:49
Speaker 2: So it was a first round pick in twenty twenty
19:52
Speaker 2: eight that the Eagles get in return. They also get
19:55
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick in the upcoming draft as well.
20:00
Speaker 2: One series will continue today. And if you're like, what
20:03
Speaker 2: do you mean continue, well, maybe you didn't join us
20:06
Speaker 2: yesterday because we started our one series. We do it
20:09
Speaker 2: every June. It's one Seahawks analyst slash insider breaking down
20:14
Speaker 2: one key Seahawk player for one entire interview. We've never
20:17
Speaker 2: had this guy. I don't know why we've not had
20:19
Speaker 2: this guy. If you all know this guy, or a
20:22
Speaker 2: lot of you know this guy, Rob Staton is going
20:24
Speaker 2: to join us for the first time ever in the
20:26
Speaker 2: Seahawks One Series. So looking forward to that and looking
20:30
Speaker 2: forward to see which player he chooses. We give them
20:33
Speaker 2: the choice of what player they want to break down
20:35
Speaker 2: because they got a lot of talking to do. Brendan Soresby,
20:39
Speaker 2: the Texas Tech quarterback who is in trouble for gambling.
20:44
Speaker 2: He was in a courtroom yesterday, apparently a two hour hearing.
20:48
Speaker 2: College football has said absolutely not, we have to draw
20:52
Speaker 2: the line on this guy. He cannot continue playing college football.
20:58
Speaker 2: And yet he was in a courtroom in Lubbock, Texas
21:01
Speaker 2: of all places, to try to figure out a federal case.
21:06
Speaker 2: And so who knows what result We're going to get
21:11
Speaker 2: but he's trying to stay in college football so he
21:14
Speaker 2: can rebuild his reputation one snap at a time. He
21:18
Speaker 2: scheduled to play for the Red Raiders this year. We
21:20
Speaker 2: shall see. Speaking of Texas Tech, a wild day yesterday
21:24
Speaker 2: and the Women's College World Series, the softball Final four
21:29
Speaker 2: was held, and there could have been two games yesterday.
21:32
Speaker 2: There could have been four games yesterday. Both Texas and
21:36
Speaker 2: Texas Tech had to win both games yesterday against teams
21:41
Speaker 2: who had not yet lost in the College World Series,
21:45
Speaker 2: and damn if they didn't both pull it off. So
21:48
Speaker 2: Texas takes out Tennessee and Texas Tech takes out Alabama
21:52
Speaker 2: last night, and so the same two teams that met
21:55
Speaker 2: in the championship a year ago are going to meet
21:58
Speaker 2: in the championship this year. The World Series now comes
22:02
Speaker 2: down to a three game series, one game per day,
22:05
Speaker 2: starting on Wednesday, between Texas Tech and Texas, two natural rivals.
22:10
Speaker 3: I mean, we've been saying this since last week, but
22:12
Speaker 3: if you are not watching women's college softball, it's highly entertaining.
22:17
Speaker 2: It's great. It was on my TV all day long,
22:20
Speaker 2: my second TV all day long yesterday, and it has
22:22
Speaker 2: been very enjoyable. Melinda French Gates has joined One Roof.
22:27
Speaker 2: We'll talk about this with Chris Daniels today at nine thirty.
22:30
Speaker 2: Just the significance of this obviously, now though One Roof
22:34
Speaker 2: has the money that the NBA is looking for, if
22:39
Speaker 2: in fact we needed a little extra cash, I think
22:42
Speaker 2: she's got it. So that's kind of the significant news.
22:46
Speaker 2: But she'll also be a part of the krack and
22:48
Speaker 2: operation as well. It looks like going forward, so we'll
22:51
Speaker 2: talk about that later. Stanley Cup playoffs are going to
22:53
Speaker 2: start tonight between Las Vegas and Carolina. Seeing a lot
22:56
Speaker 2: of Las Vegas picks, I'm going Carolina. NBA Finals will
23:00
Speaker 2: start on Wednesday, Nicks versus Spurs, as the Mitch Johnson
23:03
Speaker 2: Show continues in San Antonio. And of course the Mariners
23:08
Speaker 2: in action last night, three two winners over the New
23:10
Speaker 2: York Mets and ten innings. They've now won seven consecutive
23:14
Speaker 2: games and they are playing Mariner baseball, all close, all
23:18
Speaker 2: handed over to the bullpen, and that's the way we
23:21
Speaker 2: kind of like it. Josh Naylor also left the game
23:25
Speaker 2: with an injury, a backspasm last night. We haven't gotten
23:28
Speaker 2: much of an update. We'll try to find that before
23:30
Speaker 2: the show ends today, and the same two teams will
23:33
Speaker 2: play tonight at six point forty. We'll cover all of
23:35
Speaker 2: it next with Mariners Morning After on Sports Radio ninety
23:38
Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM. The way this team's been constructed
23:43
Speaker 2: in the Jerry Depoto era, it might not be your
23:46
Speaker 2: favorite way to win games. Maybe you just loved watching
23:50
Speaker 2: Junior and Buner and Martinez and Martinez slug you to
23:58
Speaker 2: nine to six wins once upon a time, But this team, noop.
24:03
Speaker 2: This is this is the recipe right here. Get a
24:06
Speaker 2: very good to great starting pitching performance, build up a
24:10
Speaker 2: strong bullpen, have them healthy and ready to go. Thank you, piggyback.
24:15
Speaker 2: Everybody was ready to rip last night. And five scoreless
24:20
Speaker 2: innings out of excuse me, four four scoreless innings, four
24:23
Speaker 2: no hit innings out of the bullpen last night, with
24:27
Speaker 2: four different guys each performing their role for exactly one
24:32
Speaker 2: inning apiece. This is how we do it. This is
24:35
Speaker 2: this is the formula. This is when the Mariners are
24:37
Speaker 2: typically their best is they don't allow a lot of
24:40
Speaker 2: runs and they scratch out just enough to win baseball games.
24:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely stressful, but I don't it's the best
24:46
Speaker 1: way yeah, it's the most exciting. Say, I don't care
24:49
Speaker 1: how you win, just win.
24:50
Speaker 3: So if I have to be extra stressed out through
24:52
Speaker 3: ten innings, I'll be stressed out through ten innings.
24:54
Speaker 2: I'm good with it. I don't think there's another way
24:57
Speaker 2: to watch sports. I mean, I've always said this the
25:01
Speaker 2: only way to truly have a great sports game watching
25:04
Speaker 2: experiences to at some point know that you're you think
25:08
Speaker 2: you're going to win, You're sure you're going to win,
25:10
Speaker 2: and then in the within the same game, you you're
25:12
Speaker 2: sure you're gonna lose, and then you ultimately win. Yes,
25:15
Speaker 2: you know that to me is like the ultimate. And
25:18
Speaker 2: I don't know if we ever got to either of
25:20
Speaker 2: those points in the game yesterday, but it was just
25:23
Speaker 2: tightly fought throughout and it ends up in a three
25:26
Speaker 2: to two Mariners win. Let's get to it. Mariners morning after,
25:29
Speaker 2: a highlight, a sound bite, a preview of what's going
25:32
Speaker 2: on tonight, and the Mariners went with Emerson Hancock starting pitcher.
25:37
Speaker 2: He was terrific. He did allow two home runs in
25:40
Speaker 2: the game, but that's the way he's gonna pitch. That's
25:42
Speaker 2: how they're gonna be taught to pitch. Like as long
25:45
Speaker 2: as they're not two three run homers because you've walked
25:48
Speaker 2: a couple of guys or given up some traffic. We
25:51
Speaker 2: can live with a game in which you go out
25:54
Speaker 2: there and give up two solo home runs. And obviously
25:58
Speaker 2: he did that last night, only two hits that he allowed. Meanwhile,
26:02
Speaker 2: the Mets gave us fits probably shouldn't have because shan
26:06
Speaker 2: Manaia is way past it and yet a left handed
26:09
Speaker 2: pitcher against our lineup, he had his way with us
26:12
Speaker 2: as well, and there for a stretch of time, the
26:16
Speaker 2: only hits in the game were solo home runs. There
26:19
Speaker 2: were four of them, including Josh Naylor's the solo shot
26:23
Speaker 2: and the sixth inning to tie the game. More on
26:25
Speaker 2: that in a moment. So two to two after the
26:29
Speaker 2: seventh inning, and then the game went scoreless in the eighth,
26:33
Speaker 2: scoreless in the ninth. Wait to go Brash, Waity go Munjos.
26:36
Speaker 2: And then we get to the tenth inning. Gabe Spire
26:39
Speaker 2: comes in and looked about the best he's looked maybe ever.
26:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was dealing, he might have.
26:45
Speaker 2: I mean, he looked as sharp as he's ever looked.
26:48
Speaker 2: Last night, had to face the heart of their order,
26:51
Speaker 2: including je Soto struck out Soto for goodness sake, which
26:55
Speaker 2: is not easy to do, and that put the Mariners
26:57
Speaker 2: in position for another walk off tenth inning win. Of course,
27:01
Speaker 2: we get a base runner gifted to us now in baseball,
27:05
Speaker 2: and the tenth inning at second base, Patrick Wisdom had
27:09
Speaker 2: to come into the game, or actually had to stay
27:11
Speaker 2: into the game. He came in by choice. He had
27:14
Speaker 2: to stay in the game after the Josh Naylor injury.
27:18
Speaker 2: And so Patrick Wisdom's at the plate. I'm sitting there thinking,
27:23
Speaker 2: would you just steal third? Number one? I didn't have
27:25
Speaker 2: a lot of faith in Wisdom.
27:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree with you there. I wasn't thinking
27:29
Speaker 3: he was going to be the walkoff winner.
27:31
Speaker 2: Number two. I'm like, Randy's had a really good deaf
27:34
Speaker 2: touch at when to take off here this year, And
27:38
Speaker 2: so I was already thinking, steal third, Just steal third. Yeah,
27:42
Speaker 2: don't even count on Wisdom putting the ball in play.
27:46
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, the Mets just do
27:49
Speaker 2: us this biggest favor ever, because even if you fake
27:53
Speaker 2: two attempts at second and don't even throw the ball,
27:56
Speaker 2: you can't make another one. It's the same rules. That's
28:00
Speaker 2: as they are at first. You stopped the game twice
28:04
Speaker 2: to check on the runner at second base, and there's
28:07
Speaker 2: no way you're gonna do it a third time and
28:09
Speaker 2: let the winning run get to third base on a
28:12
Speaker 2: back And so Randy Rose Arena, I'm sure that Dan
28:17
Speaker 2: Wilson screamed it from the dugout. Just run.
28:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not gonna get you.
28:22
Speaker 2: He's never gonna try. Just take off. The moment he moves,
28:25
Speaker 2: take off, and he does. And Torrence didn't have one
28:29
Speaker 2: shot in.
28:30
Speaker 3: Hell he was so he was I mean, yeah he had.
28:32
Speaker 3: He wasn't even gonna throw come close to throwing him out.
28:35
Speaker 2: So a Rose Arena standing at third base, there's one out.
28:38
Speaker 2: Cole Young is at the plate, and that dude's heartbeat
28:41
Speaker 2: never does race. And here's what happened. Whoa broken down
28:52
Speaker 2: this time?
28:53
Speaker 4: Call Young win once more for the Mariners.
29:00
Speaker 2: Incredible Mariners TV with the call of the game winning
29:07
Speaker 2: hit Cole Young coming through Three to two was the
29:11
Speaker 2: final score in the contest. For Young. He had two
29:14
Speaker 2: hits on the night. He had a walk on the night.
29:17
Speaker 2: He also had another fantastic defensive play. He was the
29:23
Speaker 2: star of the game. He is the MVP of last
29:27
Speaker 2: night's victory three to two over the Mets. So let's
29:30
Speaker 2: hear from the youngster.
29:32
Speaker 4: It was a great win feeling that bat This is
29:35
Speaker 4: the main thing. It was just you know, relax and
29:38
Speaker 4: just try to keep everything simple. We try to keep
29:39
Speaker 4: the approach simple. You know, he just put the ball play,
29:44
Speaker 4: you know, help helped the ton that Randy Randy still
29:47
Speaker 4: third at there about the infield end. So uh just
29:49
Speaker 4: made it made it a lot easier for me. And yeah,
29:52
Speaker 4: like I said, just just put the ball play and
29:54
Speaker 4: stay simple. How much did I mean getting back to
29:58
Speaker 4: your approach.
29:58
Speaker 3: And at all?
30:00
Speaker 4: It's it's huge. It just helps me out a ton,
30:04
Speaker 4: knowing that you know a lot of the ground balls
30:07
Speaker 4: will will probably get through and also to like hitting
30:10
Speaker 4: a fly ball will get the job done as well.
30:12
Speaker 4: So it's it helps out a ton. It just makes
30:16
Speaker 4: makes hitting so much easier.
30:18
Speaker 2: The wins are stacking up. Man, whether it might be confidence,
30:21
Speaker 2: execution or patience. What's different overall? Rounds fall fromos compar
30:26
Speaker 2: Us Saint two weeks ago.
30:27
Speaker 4: I can't really think of anything different, Like it's just
30:32
Speaker 4: it's just a baseball sometimes. But yeah, we're it's nice
30:35
Speaker 4: to you know, keep winning and just you know, build
30:37
Speaker 4: off of that, build that momentum, and you.
30:40
Speaker 2: Know, it's great.
30:41
Speaker 4: It's always fun to win. So I think we're just
30:44
Speaker 4: having a great time out there, and you know, whether
30:47
Speaker 4: it's the ten to eleven, like, we're still gonna have
30:50
Speaker 4: fun and play our game and you know, just keep
30:52
Speaker 4: competing every single pitch.
30:54
Speaker 2: Cole Young star of the game last night, three two
30:58
Speaker 2: victory and ten innings over the New York Mets to
31:00
Speaker 2: make it seven wins in a row. A couple theories
31:04
Speaker 2: floated out about why this team stacking up wins do
31:08
Speaker 2: share number one, they're ten and four since Colt Emerson's
31:12
Speaker 2: been added to the team. Okay, so the Colt coal
31:16
Speaker 2: thing I said this week's ago, people lock them both
31:21
Speaker 2: up second base, shortstop for the next ten years. Those two,
31:24
Speaker 2: I'm ready to do it. I've seen enough from both
31:27
Speaker 2: of them, and Emerson's already locked up. That's the one.
31:29
Speaker 2: I you know, because of a lack of exposure, I
31:31
Speaker 2: probably have more question about him than I do out
31:33
Speaker 2: of Cole Young. And then the second thing Matt Culkins
31:38
Speaker 2: wrote about overnight, and that is did the piggyback turn
31:42
Speaker 2: the team around? Not only is it not a bad thing.
31:45
Speaker 2: But since that time the team started playing better baseball.
31:48
Speaker 2: Our bullpen looked awfully fresh and fantastic last night, Sure did.
31:52
Speaker 2: And that's how I always try to look every time
31:54
Speaker 2: I step outside.
31:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look salon fresh, fresh and fantasms and fantastic.
32:01
Speaker 1: Look at us at six am. I mean, I don't know.
32:05
Speaker 3: Again, the last few times we did the piggyback couldn't
32:08
Speaker 3: have been better. Gave the entire bullpen a whole day off,
32:11
Speaker 3: and then you get to use them however you would
32:14
Speaker 3: like to the next day in a very close game.
32:16
Speaker 2: And I would not underestimate this. I mean that that
32:20
Speaker 2: piggyback thing is an introduction of competition. That is the
32:23
Speaker 2: Mariners announcing to the world. We got too many pitchers
32:25
Speaker 2: for too few spots. Everybody had to sharpen their game. Everybody. Yeah,
32:31
Speaker 2: Castillo's never looked sharper. Gilbert suddenly had his two best starts,
32:37
Speaker 2: Hancock's not falling off at all. Nope, under the pressure
32:41
Speaker 2: of oh man, did I cause all this upheaval?
32:43
Speaker 1: Yeah you did, Emerson, you know so to me.
32:47
Speaker 2: Like the piggyback may have sharpened all of the starters,
32:51
Speaker 2: may have given more rest to the relievers. Maybe that's
32:54
Speaker 2: why they've been so sensational during this stretch. I don't know,
32:58
Speaker 2: just a couple theories been floated out there. I do
33:01
Speaker 2: want to talk quickly though, about Cole Young. Maybe I
33:04
Speaker 2: can expand on this later. That play at second base
33:07
Speaker 2: where he tagged the runner that was coming by. Do
33:10
Speaker 2: you know how hard that is to concentrate with a
33:12
Speaker 2: runner who's six foot three flashing in front of you
33:15
Speaker 2: and you've got to get a high chopper and you
33:18
Speaker 2: tag the guy out.
33:20
Speaker 3: Well, and to hang onto the ball too, when he's
33:22
Speaker 3: just running straight through your gloves.
33:24
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, unbelievable play by him last night. And I don't
33:28
Speaker 2: know what the base second base umpire was thinking. That
33:32
Speaker 2: is a fundamental rule of the sport that we learned
33:35
Speaker 2: in Little League, like in our introduction, that the fielder
33:39
Speaker 2: has the right to the ball and the runner has
33:42
Speaker 2: to run around the fielder. And I don't know why
33:44
Speaker 2: a major league umpire would think differently, right.
33:47
Speaker 3: Why they were trying to wonder if it was interference. Yeah, yeah,
33:50
Speaker 3: I didn't get that either.
33:51
Speaker 2: I have no And I don't know what the conversation
33:54
Speaker 2: was between that umpire and the crew chief, but it
33:56
Speaker 2: had to be something like, are you stupid? Well you
33:59
Speaker 2: pull your head head completely out of your butt. I mean,
34:03
Speaker 2: what else is he supposed to do on that let
34:05
Speaker 2: it go by him? I mean that would he's gotta
34:07
Speaker 2: field the ball, and it's a brilliant play to field it,
34:10
Speaker 2: tag it and get the play at first. I mean,
34:13
Speaker 2: he just does stuff to impress me more every single game.
34:16
Speaker 2: So nice job by Cole Young Tonight it'll be Logan
34:20
Speaker 2: Gilbert versus youngster Jonah Tong. That's the pitching matchup at
34:24
Speaker 2: six point forty here today, Tong to Tong Tong Tong.
34:29
Speaker 2: But we're gonna go with slim pitchens here today. And
34:32
Speaker 2: I don't know if Josh Naylor is going to be
34:34
Speaker 2: in the lineup. After hitting the game tying home run,
34:37
Speaker 2: mysteriously left with backspasms. Of course, we couldn't find that
34:41
Speaker 2: out until after the game, really, Mariners, I mean you
34:45
Speaker 2: were very forthright with the information as soon as the
34:47
Speaker 2: game was over, But we can't let the audience know
34:50
Speaker 2: for three innings whether or not Josh is okay. Nonsense,
34:55
Speaker 2: But we don't know if he's okay. He left with
34:58
Speaker 2: a backspasm. That's something that could go away overnight with treatment,
35:02
Speaker 2: and so hopefully we'll see him back in the lineup
35:05
Speaker 2: later on today at six forty. Coming up next before
35:08
Speaker 2: Hugh Mellman comes on the air with us at seven
35:10
Speaker 2: oh five, I do want to have the conversation do
35:13
Speaker 2: the Hawks need to counter the Miles Garrett move yesterday?
35:16
Speaker 2: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Wow, all right,
35:30
Speaker 2: coming up at seven oh five. Yes, we're gonna hear
35:33
Speaker 2: from Hugh Millan today. We'll ask him about the impact
35:36
Speaker 2: here in Seattle of the Miles Garrett trade. Yesterday. It
35:40
Speaker 2: was all the talk everywhere in the sports talk universe,
35:43
Speaker 2: without question. We didn't get the chance to discuss it
35:47
Speaker 2: until this morning at six o'clock. We've already discussed it
35:50
Speaker 2: on one angle at great length so far this morning.
35:54
Speaker 2: We'll do it with Hugh at seven oh five. Of course,
35:58
Speaker 2: on another angle I'll leave it rob stateon now. Normally
36:01
Speaker 2: the rule is with the one series you just talk
36:03
Speaker 2: about one player the entire interview. But we can't not
36:07
Speaker 2: ask him about Miles Garrett.
36:09
Speaker 3: I mean that would be I think we'd be just
36:12
Speaker 3: sucking at our job.
36:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just the overlooking the obvious so we'll get
36:16
Speaker 2: his thoughts on that as well. Certainly, if you haven't heard,
36:20
Speaker 2: prepare yourself for shock. The Seahawks had to watch the
36:24
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams get better yesterday. They gave up a
36:27
Speaker 2: good package Jared Verse probably would fetch by himself a
36:31
Speaker 2: top ten pick in the NFL draft, So him a
36:34
Speaker 2: first rounder, a second rounder, and a third rounder, all
36:37
Speaker 2: going to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the reigning
36:41
Speaker 2: defensive player of the Year in the National Football League
36:44
Speaker 2: guy coming off a record setting sax season with twenty
36:47
Speaker 2: three of them this past year. Miles Garrett is now
36:50
Speaker 2: a member of the Los Angeles Rams. And so, if
36:54
Speaker 2: you are the Seahawks and you just watched your chief competitor,
36:58
Speaker 2: not just in the division, but to the Super Bowl,
37:01
Speaker 2: super Bowl odds get that much better yesterday. Do you
37:05
Speaker 2: make a counter move? Do you feel compelled to make
37:08
Speaker 2: a counter move?
37:10
Speaker 4: Not?
37:11
Speaker 2: Now? I don't think that that's.
37:14
Speaker 1: The way a panic counter move.
37:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not the way we do things. That's not
37:18
Speaker 2: the way John Schneider is going to do things that
37:22
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, look what they did. Oh you know,
37:26
Speaker 2: what are we going to do? Mike? I don't think
37:29
Speaker 2: that's the reaction here at all. So I don't expect
37:32
Speaker 2: them to make some sort of counter move, but I
37:35
Speaker 2: do think that they are an organization well known, steeped
37:38
Speaker 2: in the tradition of adding in the season something of significance.
37:43
Speaker 2: And maybe you don't have to be your best version
37:46
Speaker 2: of yourself at the beginning of the year, but at
37:48
Speaker 2: some point during the course of the year, maybe you
37:50
Speaker 2: will need Maybe you've assessed your team, maybe you've had
37:52
Speaker 2: injuries along the way. You got thirty million dollars in
37:55
Speaker 2: cap space right now, and you're you don't have any
37:58
Speaker 2: holds barred in terms of who you might go after
38:02
Speaker 2: once the pretenders start to emerge in the National Football
38:06
Speaker 2: League this year, and so I certainly expect them at
38:08
Speaker 2: some point during the season to make a trade of
38:10
Speaker 2: significance that maybe would counteract it. But I don't expect
38:14
Speaker 2: to see anything right up front. And yet what would
38:17
Speaker 2: that be. I mean, the immediate reaction is, Okay, Charles
38:21
Speaker 2: Cross is good. Is he good enough to counter who
38:24
Speaker 2: he's going to have to be going up against? Now?
38:26
Speaker 2: Twice per year? He allowed only two sacks last season.
38:30
Speaker 2: A recent poll taken by ESPN of execs and coaches
38:34
Speaker 2: in the National Football League had Charles Cross receiving votes
38:38
Speaker 2: and a question about who's the best left tackle in
38:41
Speaker 2: the game right now, but didn't make the top five,
38:45
Speaker 2: didn't make the top ten. Then all of a sudden,
38:47
Speaker 2: he's going to have to be going against the number
38:49
Speaker 2: one pass rusher of the modern era. But I don't
38:53
Speaker 2: think that's the move there that you would make. Also,
38:59
Speaker 2: I would say that that's really not the counter move
39:02
Speaker 2: I would expect a John Schneider to make, because I
39:05
Speaker 2: would expect him to say, you know what we're gonna do.
39:08
Speaker 2: We're gonna just double down on something awesome, whatever that
39:11
Speaker 2: might be. We're not gonna worry about finding a offensive
39:15
Speaker 2: player to counter the defensive player that you added. We
39:19
Speaker 2: have a lot invested in wide receivers, right, We're gonna
39:21
Speaker 2: add j Justin Jefferson. Okay, No, seriously, I'm not even
39:26
Speaker 2: making that up like something like that.
39:28
Speaker 1: When I say okay, I'm like okay, yeah, during yeah.
39:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, during the season, Like, Okay, we have to include
39:33
Speaker 2: Rashid because we got to get some money involved in there.
39:36
Speaker 2: But we'll have Jefferson and JSN on the same team
39:40
Speaker 2: at some point. If the vikings start to go south.
39:43
Speaker 2: That's the kind of counter move I think that he
39:46
Speaker 2: would make if push came to shove. Jalen Carter's the name.
39:50
Speaker 2: If the Seahawks wanted to roll the dice on his attitude.
39:54
Speaker 3: T J.
39:54
Speaker 2: Watt might be at the end of his career, might
39:56
Speaker 2: not be the same player. But if the Steelers can't
39:59
Speaker 2: put it together the other this year, at some point,
40:01
Speaker 2: I think they are going to collapse. Maybe it's not
40:04
Speaker 2: this year, maybe that's somebody that you pick up in
40:06
Speaker 2: the middle of the season. But I don't think you're
40:08
Speaker 2: going to see any kind of immediate we have to
40:11
Speaker 2: counter this. I don't think you're going to see any
40:13
Speaker 2: kind of panic from the organization. Steady boat wins the race.
40:19
Speaker 2: I think the Seahawks have been built better than any
40:21
Speaker 2: other roster in the National Football League, and they're going
40:24
Speaker 2: to count on them just getting naturally better from the
40:27
Speaker 2: previous year and Mike McDonald's third year on the job.
40:30
Speaker 1: No, and I would agree with that. I don't think
40:32
Speaker 1: I would.
40:33
Speaker 3: I would be shocked if there was a panic move
40:35
Speaker 3: or something that was done quickly, like oh my gosh,
40:37
Speaker 3: because at that point, too, you're showing the rams your
40:40
Speaker 3: hand right, you're showing the rams. Oh what what you
40:42
Speaker 3: did scared us a little bit, and so we've got
40:44
Speaker 3: to right now, you've got to stay cool, calm and
40:47
Speaker 3: steady and figure out where the additions can be made.
40:50
Speaker 2: Fear, no panic. Not here, they do not care. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
40:53
Speaker 2: Look elsewhere for that if you're looking for it. As
40:56
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, our stone cold face should scare
40:58
Speaker 2: the crap out of you, alright. Headlines next plus You.
