Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We get an extra extra segment. Yeah, the Mariner's postcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: two point.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Zero Mariners Tuca words the two cast two cast too furious. Gosh, yeah,
- 0:12Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I'm happy to do this. I
- 0:14Speaker 2: am Dragon Dragon, but it's because of the fact that
- 0:19Speaker 2: I had an appointment before this. Oh I had to
- 0:22Speaker 2: do a liver scan and we're hoping for good news there,
- 0:25Speaker 2: and then I got some more appointments to you and
- 0:28Speaker 2: to go with today. But like nice, but I am
- 0:31Speaker 2: always thrilled to do this and talk some Mariners with you.
- 0:34Speaker 2: And boy, it's fun to talk mariners now. When we
- 0:37Speaker 2: were talking during Molly wat Monday, you know, the device
- 0:41Speaker 2: were good. I feel like that series against the Mats,
- 0:44Speaker 2: those two wins kind of pushed it into much better vibes.
- 0:47Speaker 2: And then, unfortunately it ends on such a dour note
- 0:51Speaker 2: and I'm glad nobody brought up but I'm gonna do
- 0:54Speaker 2: it anyway. Freddy Peralta was supposed to be a Seattle
- 0:57Speaker 2: Mariner anders it's one of the worst the Mariners have
- 1:01Speaker 2: ever made. Adam Lynde for Freddy Peralta. Yeah, and it
- 1:04Speaker 2: sucks that the series ended that way, But boy, I
- 1:07Speaker 2: just feel so much more confident in this team based
- 1:09Speaker 2: on what I've seen the last week.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Yeah, and I realized that the winning streak is over now,
- 1:14Speaker 1: but I feel like it was almost a perfect day.
- 1:16Speaker 1: If you were to lose one game, it would be
- 1:18Speaker 1: that one. The third, you've already won the series. You
- 1:21Speaker 1: have an off day the next day before you go travel,
- 1:24Speaker 1: like it's a good time to kind of get a
- 1:27Speaker 1: bad taste in your mouth for a day or two
- 1:29Speaker 1: before you go and continue, hope to continue your run
- 1:34Speaker 1: of play. To me, I mentioned this on the postcast
- 1:37Speaker 1: multiple times, and I'm curious your thoughts, Chris, because I
- 1:39Speaker 1: don't get to talk to you as often. Sure, it
- 1:43Speaker 1: just feels like this is a completely different team than
- 1:46Speaker 1: the team that played in Kansas City, no doubt about it.
- 1:48Speaker 3: And I don't know.
- 1:51Speaker 1: On my YouTube or on the YouTube channel for locked On,
- 1:55Speaker 1: you can go back to that last game of the
- 1:58Speaker 1: series against the Oils and my thumbnail that we like
- 2:02Speaker 1: to have a big, huge letters it says make a
- 2:06Speaker 1: change with Dan Wilson's face on there.
- 2:10Speaker 3: I'm not necessary.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I wasn't I should say, wasn't necessarily calling for Dan
- 2:14Speaker 1: Wilson's job, but something needed to change. And the Mariners,
- 2:18Speaker 1: you know, clubhouse, the coach, whatever, whatever that is, I
- 2:23Speaker 1: don't know, but it just feels like something did change.
- 2:28Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you from your analysis, what
- 2:32Speaker 1: did change from you know, the series that just looked
- 2:37Speaker 1: like they were sleepwalking in Kansas City to two straight
- 2:40Speaker 1: sweeps and then of course three straight series wins after that.
- 2:44Speaker 2: So I think one of the things that helped, and
- 2:48Speaker 2: this is gonna come across as hater aide and I
- 2:51Speaker 2: apologize for that, one of the things that helped was
- 2:54Speaker 2: playing the right teams at the right time. Because the
- 2:57Speaker 2: Athletics were due for their swoon, get that sweep. Arizona
- 3:02Speaker 2: was too hot. You were due for some losses there,
- 3:05Speaker 2: and the Mets are the mess. But there's no doubt
- 3:08Speaker 2: that this team has looked better and there's there's just
- 3:12Speaker 2: the confidence. I'll tell you one thing. Colt Emerson has
- 3:15Speaker 2: made a huge difference in my eye, and they've won
- 3:18Speaker 2: I believe three of the four last their last four
- 3:21Speaker 2: series now and Colt Emerson has been a big part
- 3:24Speaker 2: of those games. And I don't think you can completely
- 3:28Speaker 2: discount the energy that he's brought to the team. And
- 3:31Speaker 2: while we have notoriously and a lot of people. And
- 3:34Speaker 2: we talked to Keith Law about this during the ten
- 3:38Speaker 2: o'clock hour that JP Crawford's defense still stinks. What he
- 3:44Speaker 2: has provided as a leader and what he has provided
- 3:47Speaker 2: at the top of the lineup has really helped this
- 3:50Speaker 2: baseball team. And when JP Crawford is hitting at the
- 3:53Speaker 2: top of the lineup, that is when we have seen
- 3:55Speaker 2: this team look like an elite team. When JP Crawford
- 3:58Speaker 2: has it going, this team is really tough to beat.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Julio obviously getting off to a much better start than
- 4:06Speaker 2: we have grown accustomed to. Randio rose Arena one of
- 4:10Speaker 2: the most underrated offensive players in the sport right now,
- 4:14Speaker 2: and the starting pitching for the most part has been
- 4:16Speaker 2: pretty darn good as well. I wanted to ask you
- 4:19Speaker 2: about this though.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Okay, George Kirby, this is like.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Five starts in a row, and look, the defense behind
- 4:26Speaker 2: him has not helped him what so ever. But if
- 4:31Speaker 2: you take a look at the game log I believe
- 4:33Speaker 2: this is now five straight starts where he's given up
- 4:36Speaker 2: five runs. Now, he's had some unearned runs in those
- 4:38Speaker 2: points at this point too, but ultimately, the run prevention
- 4:42Speaker 2: from George Kirby has not been there, right, I kind
- 4:46Speaker 2: of wonder if George Kirby is not completely out of
- 4:49Speaker 2: one hundred percent. You look at velocity and it says
- 4:51Speaker 2: he's fine. But this is kind of a rough little
- 4:54Speaker 2: streak here.
- 4:55Speaker 1: So if you were to give me, and I'm gonna
- 4:57Speaker 1: kind of follow up your question, slash, you know what
- 5:01Speaker 1: you're posing here with another question. If you were to
- 5:04Speaker 1: give me one stat that represents defense, what would it be?
- 5:07Speaker 1: Would it be OAA? I would say so, yes, okay,
- 5:10Speaker 1: so byaa. In terms of pitchers with the worst defense
- 5:16Speaker 1: behind them, George Kirby ranks one two, three, four, five,
- 5:24Speaker 1: six seven, fourteenth worst wow out of any pitcher. And
- 5:30Speaker 1: you starter and you reliever. Funnily enough, who's thirteenth Jose Ferrair.
- 5:35Speaker 1: So now I will say, in order for there to
- 5:39Speaker 1: be bad defense behind you, that means you're putting a
- 5:41Speaker 1: lot of balls in play as well. So George Kirby's
- 5:44Speaker 1: strikeout rate is down a big, a big time compared
- 5:48Speaker 1: to his years past. With him, his walk rate is
- 5:52Speaker 1: even with about what it was last year, but that
- 5:55Speaker 1: was pretty significantly for him up from his previous So
- 6:01Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about him specifically because
- 6:04Speaker 1: I think the first you know, six or seven starts
- 6:07Speaker 1: of his season, maybe even eight or nine, he was
- 6:10Speaker 1: probably my best picture for the Mariners, and then all
- 6:13Speaker 1: of a sudden things have just really regressed. I don't
- 6:16Speaker 1: know how much of this is just a he's going through,
- 6:19Speaker 1: you know, a bad stretch, or if there's something more
- 6:22Speaker 1: long term to be worried about here, because we saw
- 6:24Speaker 1: a similar situation with Brian wu where it was like, Oh,
- 6:28Speaker 1: he's dominant, and then like three outings in a row
- 6:30Speaker 1: where he's like, oh, that's not the Brian Woom used
- 6:33Speaker 1: to seeing and.
- 6:33Speaker 3: He's completely back.
- 6:35Speaker 1: So we've seen these ups and downs from almost every
- 6:38Speaker 1: starting pitcher this year, barring Emerson Hancock, who has been
- 6:42Speaker 1: the most consistent out of all of them. So I
- 6:46Speaker 1: just don't know how much of it is a long
- 6:47Speaker 1: term thing with George versus this is just a blip
- 6:50Speaker 1: in the radar. So I guess I'll flip it back
- 6:52Speaker 1: onto you how much of it is a long term
- 6:54Speaker 1: thing versus maybe this is just a bad stretch.
- 6:57Speaker 2: So this is my concern here. George Kirby ranks in
- 7:02Speaker 2: the ninety first percentile in generating chase, which is really good.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really good.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Thirty five point four percent of the time where a
- 7:10Speaker 2: pitch is outside of the strike zone, he's getting someone
- 7:13Speaker 2: to swing at it percentage nineteenth percentile twenty point nine.
- 7:18Speaker 2: And the reason is is that teams are not having
- 7:23Speaker 2: any issue with his secondary pitches whatsoever. Against his sweepers,
- 7:29Speaker 2: not as bad as I thought. What's really been bad
- 7:31Speaker 2: has been the knuckle curve, which awaited on bass average
- 7:35Speaker 2: of four to sixty three against that bad boy is
- 7:38Speaker 2: really really gross. And against his knuckle Okay, the knuckle
- 7:43Speaker 2: curve is the one I just gave you. Teams are
- 7:46Speaker 2: slugging six point fifteen against that pitch. That's really bad.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:52Speaker 2: And if you take a look, his fastball has been awesome,
- 7:54Speaker 2: and again baseball savants such a wonderful tool. Fastball run
- 7:59Speaker 2: value second percentile six six runs above average, breaking ball
- 8:05Speaker 2: value negative three, fourteenth percentile.
- 8:10Speaker 1: So what does that mean, Like someone who doesn't know
- 8:12Speaker 1: what these numbers are, what are those repersents?
- 8:14Speaker 2: What those represent is that he's fooling hitters with the
- 8:19Speaker 2: fastball and the ability to get them to swing at
- 8:21Speaker 2: pitches outside the strike zone. But he's not fooling hitters
- 8:24Speaker 2: at all with his secondary stuff, and it's just being
- 8:27Speaker 2: too much middle. And this is where I keep coming
- 8:29Speaker 2: down to it with George Kirby. When George Kirby is
- 8:33Speaker 2: at his best, he nibbles, he is willing to Walks
- 8:39Speaker 2: aren't a big deal to him. And I think what
- 8:41Speaker 2: we've seen over the last few is he's challenged too much,
- 8:45Speaker 2: just too much of the plate and with the secondary
- 8:48Speaker 2: stuff in particular, if he is not getting you to
- 8:51Speaker 2: swing at a pitch outside the strike zone on a
- 8:53Speaker 2: secondary pitch, there's a good chance that pitch is going
- 8:56Speaker 2: to get mollywops. It's very good. There's a very good
- 8:59Speaker 2: chance bad thing are gonna happen to him. I mean,
- 9:01Speaker 2: there's some really good numbers here, like ground ball percentage
- 9:05Speaker 2: of fifty three point one is excellent, the chase rate
- 9:09Speaker 2: that we went over, His fastball velocity is as good
- 9:11Speaker 2: as it's been. This is another interesting one here. Expected
- 9:15Speaker 2: era of three point four to nine, very good. Expected
- 9:19Speaker 2: batting average against of two fifty five. It's weird to
- 9:22Speaker 2: say now not so good. Yeah, And it's because I
- 9:25Speaker 2: think he's just catching too much of the plates. And
- 9:29Speaker 2: this is a mental thing I think with George Kirby,
- 9:32Speaker 2: and that's it's not really calling him soft or anything
- 9:36Speaker 2: like that. There is just time stubbornness where stubbornness is
- 9:39Speaker 2: the perfect word for it. He so much does not
- 9:42Speaker 2: want to create. And we saw this with Brian Wu
- 9:45Speaker 2: for a couple of starts and then he said never mind,
- 9:49Speaker 2: and he's just been If you take away those two starts,
- 9:52Speaker 2: Brian Wu might be the al Cy Young favorite right
- 9:55Speaker 2: now because he's been just absolutely lights out. Maybe it's
- 9:59Speaker 2: he just doesn't like the state of Missouri or really
- 10:02Speaker 2: likes the state of Missouri, because those two starts against
- 10:04Speaker 2: the Kansas City and Saint Louis, we're just trash. Yeah,
- 10:08Speaker 2: But since then he's been great. But it is interesting
- 10:10Speaker 2: that George Kirby is like the one starting pitcher that
- 10:14Speaker 2: you're kind of going, huh, what's going on here? He
- 10:18Speaker 2: was so good to begin the year.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're kind of quoting a lot of the
- 10:22Speaker 1: baseball savant numbers here and for those maybe who aren't
- 10:26Speaker 1: as baseball savant savants it, I think it does a
- 10:31Speaker 1: really good job of indicating, Okay, you can take the
- 10:34Speaker 1: actual results numbers, the eras the whips, you know, the
- 10:38Speaker 1: batting average, against and that kind of stuff. This kind
- 10:41Speaker 1: of tells the story of Okay, it's more predictive, so
- 10:45Speaker 1: to speak. It tells you if you've gotten maybe unlucky
- 10:47Speaker 1: or maybe a little lucky, and looking forward to what
- 10:51Speaker 1: maybe could happen in the future if you continue to
- 10:53Speaker 1: pitch the way that you have pitched up until now, right,
- 10:56Speaker 1: because baseball has such high variance with these you know, outcomes,
- 11:02Speaker 1: But I'm looking through. What I like to do is
- 11:04Speaker 1: kind of look okay twenty because you can go cycle
- 11:07Speaker 1: by year twenty twenty six to twenty twenty five to
- 11:10Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, and then his best year in twenty
- 11:12Speaker 1: twenty three.
- 11:13Speaker 3: I don't see a lot of difference.
- 11:16Speaker 1: The only real difference I see is a slight dip
- 11:20Speaker 1: and walk rate, very slight, right, but then a giant
- 11:24Speaker 1: uptick and ground ball rate. So I was would be thinking,
- 11:28Speaker 1: if I'm creating a profile for a pitcher, I would
- 11:31Speaker 1: absolutely take that trade off.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple more walks, but then you get a
- 11:35Speaker 3: ton more ground balls.
- 11:36Speaker 2: And that's where we come down to with this defense. Yes,
- 11:39Speaker 2: it's the fact that it's just not conducive to run
- 11:44Speaker 2: prevention and they will make the plays that are hit
- 11:47Speaker 2: right at them, but they are not going to be
- 11:50Speaker 2: the guys who show the range necessary for this pitching
- 11:53Speaker 2: staff I think to work. By the way, the other
- 11:56Speaker 2: thing here is with that fastball value, it's because it
- 12:01Speaker 2: doesn't count his sinker as a fastball. Yeah, I think
- 12:05Speaker 2: the sinker should count as fastball value. But his sinker
- 12:09Speaker 2: has been lit up this year. I just lost the numbers,
- 12:14Speaker 2: but it's been hit hard and if he is not,
- 12:17Speaker 2: and it was hit hard last year too, So I'm
- 12:21Speaker 2: not long term concerned. But I gotta be honest. We
- 12:23Speaker 2: were talking about it yesterday or yesterday. It feels like
- 12:26Speaker 2: yesterday we were talking about it in Crosstock there. If
- 12:30Speaker 2: I'm gonna trade one of those players, I think George
- 12:33Speaker 2: Kirby is the pitcher that I'm really it's the fact
- 12:37Speaker 2: that I feel like there's more ceiling with a Gilbert
- 12:42Speaker 2: and of course with the will and they would never
- 12:44Speaker 2: trade Brian.
- 12:45Speaker 3: No.
- 12:45Speaker 2: If that's just not going to happen. But it's a
- 12:48Speaker 2: really interesting because they're gonna have to trade some of
- 12:51Speaker 2: these guys at some point, like Kate Anderson and Ryan
- 12:55Speaker 2: Sloan are coming, and they're not going to have a
- 12:57Speaker 2: six hundred million dollar rotation. That's it's just not going
- 13:00Speaker 2: to be a thing. I'm fascinated to see who's going
- 13:04Speaker 2: to be moved from this.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just interesting that you say that because a
- 13:07Speaker 1: you have one more year of George Kirby instead of
- 13:10Speaker 1: with Logan Gilbert. He's done after next year. So that
- 13:13Speaker 1: is a determining factor for me. And we just talked about,
- 13:17Speaker 1: you know, kind of looking through the cycling through the
- 13:20Speaker 1: years of baseball savon. If you're looking at a guy
- 13:22Speaker 1: that is performing worse than we are used to seeing
- 13:25Speaker 1: across the board, that's Logan Gilbert this year. It's in
- 13:30Speaker 1: terms of both the results stats and the expected stats. Sure,
- 13:34Speaker 1: So that's something where I believe. And maybe it's because
- 13:39Speaker 1: in Logan Gilbert it tends to be more of a
- 13:42Speaker 1: strikeout pitcher, so he's not as reliant on a defense
- 13:46Speaker 1: that may not be as good as we want it
- 13:49Speaker 1: to be. Sure, so that is a maybe a factor
- 13:52Speaker 1: in you know, his results not being as poor as
- 13:56Speaker 1: someone like George Kirby's, especially recently. But yeah, I think
- 14:00Speaker 1: that that's quite interesting. And I just don't know if
- 14:02Speaker 1: the Mariners will trade any of them. I'm gonna be
- 14:03Speaker 1: completely honest.
- 14:04Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think that they're gonna do
- 14:07Speaker 2: it mid season, and I don't think they're going to
- 14:10Speaker 2: do it for a rental player or anything of the sort.
- 14:14Speaker 2: But at some point they have to because I can't
- 14:16Speaker 2: see the Seattle Mariners just letting these guys walk either.
- 14:19Speaker 2: The only guy I think they're going to let walk
- 14:22Speaker 2: is Randy or Rose Arena. That's the only player I
- 14:25Speaker 2: can see them saying, because he's having like the best
- 14:27Speaker 2: season and literally like the fact that he can walk
- 14:30Speaker 2: is well, do I keep going? Or what's what's going
- 14:34Speaker 2: on here? This is a brand new territory for.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Me, and.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Uh yeah, let's keep going. Let's go.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Okay, great, what do you want to talk about?
- 14:46Speaker 1: I really like let's let's talk a few minutes, next segment. Okay,
- 14:51Speaker 1: talking about Russell Wilson's legacy. Oh that's a great because
- 14:56Speaker 1: I know it's you have a slightly different viewpoint than
- 14:59Speaker 1: I do. And I actually had a really really good
- 15:02Speaker 1: discussion on our Lockdown Seahawks show last night with Robert Turbin,
- 15:07Speaker 1: who's someone who played with him, and you know, we
- 15:10Speaker 1: can talk about, you know, the different perspectives of people
- 15:13Speaker 1: who are in the building versus people who kind of
- 15:15Speaker 1: hear the noise outside of the building and stuff like that.
- 15:19Speaker 1: So let's let's take a quick break, come back and
- 15:22Speaker 1: we'll discuss that next here on Sports Radio ninety three
- 15:24Speaker 1: point three kjr FM.

- 17:54Speaker 1: We didn't get a text saying Ian is going to
- 17:57Speaker 1: sort out some technical issues.
- 17:59Speaker 6: Question mark my question mark. Ian did not. I can
- 18:03Speaker 6: confirm Ian definitely did not. Ryan and the IT team
- 18:09Speaker 6: at Testo Klomas, you know, they're great heroes all the
- 18:12Speaker 6: way around. A shout out to my buddy NASA at
- 18:13Speaker 6: the Seahawks because he helped us we got some issues. Because
- 18:16Speaker 6: we had the same issues at the Seahawks this weekend,
- 18:18Speaker 6: those guys came in and NASA and the IT guys
- 18:20Speaker 6: from the Seahawks same thing, and I had the same question.
- 18:23Speaker 6: I don't know. I just pushed play like this. You
- 18:27Speaker 6: know what I and then what I do? I rebooted
- 18:29Speaker 6: here you go turn it back on and it still
- 18:31Speaker 6: didn't work. All right, But we're here.
- 18:32Speaker 8: Hey.
- 18:32Speaker 6: I first of all, great conversation on George Kirby. We
- 18:36Speaker 6: had that conversation Chris yesterday. Andrews and I and you
- 18:39Speaker 6: said something that we said to yesterday. They got to
- 18:41Speaker 6: trade one of these guys. That's a hard statement. They
- 18:45Speaker 6: probably should trade one of their six pitchers. Sure right,
- 18:49Speaker 6: they probably should trade one of those guys. And I
- 18:52Speaker 6: think we were talking yesterday. Maybe Eno said it, you know,
- 18:54Speaker 6: Sarahsmunda said, mate, should it be Logan Gilbert because of
- 18:58Speaker 6: the contract or you guys mentioned Kirby. Just now see
- 19:02Speaker 6: of those numbers, Some of those numbers are startled, Chris,
- 19:05Speaker 6: for people just tuning in, or and for me because I'm,
- 19:08Speaker 6: you know, trying to get stuff figured out listening to
- 19:10Speaker 6: you guys.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Here and there.
- 19:11Speaker 6: What was What's the number for Kirby that's most troubling
- 19:15Speaker 6: to you?
- 19:16Speaker 2: The whiff rate.
- 19:17Speaker 6: It's just that same.
- 19:19Speaker 2: So he is getting hitters to swing it pitches outside
- 19:22Speaker 2: of the strike zone, which is good, but he's not
- 19:24Speaker 2: getting hitters to swing and miss, and ultimately, that's what
- 19:28Speaker 2: you want your pitcher to be able to do, is
- 19:30Speaker 2: generate those swings and misses, not rely on quality defense
- 19:34Speaker 2: behind you. And he just hasn't generated the whiffs at all,
- 19:37Speaker 2: in particular with his secondary stuff. He can still or
- 19:42Speaker 2: not really he can still lately he's been able to
- 19:44Speaker 2: throw the ball past guys because the vastball velocity has
- 19:47Speaker 2: gone up, but he just doesn't have that swing and
- 19:51Speaker 2: miss knuckle curve or that swinging miss sweeper right now,
- 19:54Speaker 2: and that makes it really difficult.
- 19:56Speaker 6: That's that's not good. Okay, I do I want to
- 19:58Speaker 6: switch up a little bit because you guys had teased
- 20:01Speaker 6: this a little bit. We talked about God Andrews one
- 20:04Speaker 6: was it was it Tuesday? The RUSS news kind of
- 20:06Speaker 6: broke me. Yeah, I mean it kind of became official
- 20:09Speaker 6: in the last day or two, but we kind of
- 20:11Speaker 6: we got ahead of it on Tuesday, I think it was,
- 20:12Speaker 6: and we did. We did a whole topic on it,
- 20:14Speaker 6: like his legacy and all that. Chris, you you want
- 20:16Speaker 6: a way and I know on that before we send
- 20:18Speaker 6: you off to you yeah, next appointment and our thoughts
- 20:20Speaker 6: are with you and get you get yourself healthy. We
- 20:22Speaker 6: need we there's a there's a whole slew of people
- 20:25Speaker 6: on Mondays that need you. So anyway, give us a
- 20:28Speaker 6: so Russell Wilson's legacy, Chris Crawford will turn it over
- 20:31Speaker 6: to you.
- 20:31Speaker 2: And you know it's a complicated one. But I will
- 20:34Speaker 2: admit that I have been a RW three apologist for
- 20:38Speaker 2: a long time and some of that has to do
- 20:41Speaker 2: and I can't go completely into detail on this. Russell
- 20:45Speaker 2: Wilson did something for someone that I am very close
- 20:48Speaker 2: with that has changed that person's life. And it wasn't recorded,
- 20:54Speaker 2: it wasn't something that got posted somewhere. I think there's
- 20:57Speaker 2: this idea that that's all Russell Wilson did was go
- 21:00Speaker 2: and make sure that cameras were there. My view on
- 21:03Speaker 2: Russell Wilson with that was Russell Wilson made it cool
- 21:07Speaker 2: to go visit hospitals. Russell Wilson made it cool to
- 21:11Speaker 2: go do charity work. I think that's a really cool thing. Now,
- 21:14Speaker 2: did it get out of hanch with some of the
- 21:18Speaker 2: other stuff. And you guys know more because you've been
- 21:21Speaker 2: doing this for a lot longer than me, and I
- 21:23Speaker 2: do not have the connections to the Seahawks or to
- 21:25Speaker 2: Russell Wilson that you guys do, and I totally get
- 21:28Speaker 2: that there was diva ish behavior Wilson with that was
- 21:33Speaker 2: Russell Wilson made it cool to go visit hospitals. Russell
- 21:37Speaker 2: Wilson made it cool to go do charity work. I
- 21:40Speaker 2: think that's a really cool thing. Now, did it get
- 21:43Speaker 2: out of hanch with some of the other stuff. And
- 21:47Speaker 2: you guys know more because you've been doing this for
- 21:49Speaker 2: a lot longer than me, and I do not have
- 21:51Speaker 2: the connections to the Seahawks or to Russell Wilson that
- 21:54Speaker 2: you guys do, and I totally get that there was
- 21:58Speaker 2: diva ish behavior, but I think what he did for
- 22:01Speaker 2: this community was really important. And oh, by the way,
- 22:05Speaker 2: he's the best Seattle Seahawk quarterback and is not freaking close,
- 22:08Speaker 2: all due respect to Sam Darnold went in a championship,
- 22:11Speaker 2: which was great, But what Russell Wilson did for over
- 22:16Speaker 2: a decade here was make the Seahawks relevant. And sure
- 22:21Speaker 2: the defense helped, and sure there was some help from
- 22:24Speaker 2: some really good wide receivers and one of the most
- 22:26Speaker 2: underrated running backs of all time, but what Russell Wilson
- 22:29Speaker 2: did I think can't be overstated. He much. He was
- 22:33Speaker 2: a productive player, and I think what he did for
- 22:36Speaker 2: this community means so much more to me personally than
- 22:41Speaker 2: what happened at the end when he basically forced his
- 22:44Speaker 2: way out of town.
- 22:44Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's will said. I think it's really
- 22:46Speaker 6: well said. As far as the hospital stuff. And I
- 22:48Speaker 6: mentioned this with Andrews in our audience the other day,
- 22:51Speaker 6: you know, like, and I've told the story. My son
- 22:53Speaker 6: was seventeen and he spent a few days out at
- 22:55Speaker 6: Children's Hospital when his diabetes diagnosis was kind of finally
- 23:01Speaker 6: figured out and so forth. And you know, you're out
- 23:03Speaker 6: there with your kid and you're wandering around, and you know,
- 23:05Speaker 6: and I sniffed around a little bit. And I can
- 23:08Speaker 6: just tell you, even from us doing our one big
- 23:10Speaker 6: thing that Bender does on the other station every year,
- 23:13Speaker 6: the Russell Wilson Children's Hospital stuff was very real. And
- 23:19Speaker 6: what I mean by very real, it was very real
- 23:22Speaker 6: in the sense that, yeah, there were a lot of times,
- 23:25Speaker 6: especially later on, especially when the pop star came into
- 23:31Speaker 6: the world into the mix, there were a lot of
- 23:34Speaker 6: times that you saw cameras out there more often than before.
- 23:39Speaker 6: But you just said it, there were a lot of
- 23:40Speaker 6: times the cameras weren't there, and I think it's safe.
- 23:43Speaker 6: I think it's also important to remember with Russ he
- 23:46Speaker 6: started doing that before he was even really the starting quarterback.
- 23:48Speaker 6: It's true, like right after he got here as a
- 23:51Speaker 6: third round pick. So it's something you know, when he
- 23:53Speaker 6: talked about it, I think it came from his father
- 23:55Speaker 6: and his parents and so forth, that that was going
- 23:57Speaker 6: to be something he was going to do and build
- 23:59Speaker 6: a legacy on. And if there was some artificial noise
- 24:02Speaker 6: to it, I don't think it matters because the impact
- 24:06Speaker 6: on the people that he had out there, whether it's
- 24:07Speaker 6: your personal connection Chris or the kids, that goes without saying.
- 24:11Speaker 6: As far as being a quarterback, he is easily the
- 24:14Speaker 6: best quarterback in Seahawk history. He also I mean, think
- 24:16Speaker 6: about it, how hard is it to find a quarterback
- 24:19Speaker 6: in this league? Yeah? Like it is. I mean there
- 24:22Speaker 6: are teams that have been There's the Jets. They've been
- 24:25Speaker 6: chasing quarterback for how long ever, right forever since Joe
- 24:28Speaker 6: Willie Namath. I mean, it's right. I mean kind of
- 24:31Speaker 6: had it a little bit with Neil O'Donnell, sort of
- 24:33Speaker 6: had it a little bit with FITZI.
- 24:34Speaker 2: But that's I mean, really, Mark Sanchez for like a second.
- 24:40Speaker 6: But I mean there's teams chasing quarterbacks. Seattle had a
- 24:43Speaker 6: Pro Bowl caliber quarterback thanks to mikel Hongrin in Matt Hasselback,
- 24:48Speaker 6: and I think at that point Matt was the best
- 24:50Speaker 6: quarterback we'd ever seen. All due respect to David Craig
- 24:54Speaker 6: or Jim Zorn. And don't throw Warren Moon at me.
- 24:57Speaker 6: He came here at the very end of his career.
- 24:58Speaker 6: I don't want to hear it. Stop. I know you guys.
- 25:01Speaker 6: Don't do that to me, not on a Friday, not
- 25:03Speaker 6: when I've been dealing with ipms. But like, Russ is
- 25:08Speaker 6: the best. And this team doesn't win its first Super
- 25:11Speaker 6: Bowl without Russell Wilson because frankly, they don't get they
- 25:14Speaker 6: don't make the plays they had to make in some
- 25:16Speaker 6: of the games leading up to it to have home
- 25:17Speaker 6: field advantage, which was a huge thing. So yeah, Russ.
- 25:22Speaker 6: But I think the word complicated is the best way
- 25:24Speaker 6: to put it. And it's really hard for us in
- 25:27Speaker 6: sports to say to question someone's personal life decisions, spouse,
- 25:31Speaker 6: what have you. But there is no doubt who and
- 25:34Speaker 6: what he was and how he handled himself and what
- 25:37Speaker 6: became important to him changed. It did change, and he
- 25:41Speaker 6: forced his way out of this town. He forced his
- 25:43Speaker 6: way out of the organization. He had an inflative view
- 25:46Speaker 6: of who and what he was as far as contracts
- 25:48Speaker 6: were concerned. And it's one of the greatest moves John
- 25:51Speaker 6: Schneider ever made. And I know initially it was probably difficult.
- 25:54Speaker 6: As things went on, it was probably damn easy just
- 25:57Speaker 6: find a trade partner. But his legacy is complicated. Think
- 26:01Speaker 6: about this guy's Chris and Anders. What a week that
- 26:04Speaker 6: we have had in Seattle. No, right, like we're gonna
- 26:07Speaker 6: hear a little bit of one from Hugh Millon talking
- 26:09Speaker 6: about Miles Garrett. We had that on the other day,
- 26:11Speaker 6: and you know it was just gold absolutely. I mean,
- 26:14Speaker 6: what Miles Garrett, who and what he is? This week
- 26:17Speaker 6: started on a Monday with in the span of eight minutes,
- 26:21Speaker 6: Miles Garrett getting traded to the Rams, the biggest threat
- 26:23Speaker 6: to the Seahawks to go back to back Super Bowls,
- 26:25Speaker 6: and then eight minutes later, Lo and Behold, Melinda French
- 26:29Speaker 6: Gates becomes part of the one roof ownership group that
- 26:33Speaker 6: oversees all things Seattle sports not named Seahawks and Mariners.
- 26:37Speaker 6: And thirty billion dollars to her name. Oh, by the way,
- 26:42Speaker 6: the NBA Adam Silver talking about expansion on Wednesday night.
- 26:47Speaker 6: Think about what this week has been and then mixing
- 26:50Speaker 6: in the super Bowl, first super Bowl winning quarterback and
- 26:53Speaker 6: Sale decides to go to CBS and retire. Basically, ye,
- 26:56Speaker 6: it's been a week. Marriner's won eight in a row
- 26:58Speaker 6: before that came to an end. This is supposed to
- 27:01Speaker 6: be the slow time of the year where we take
- 27:02Speaker 6: time off and make Chris Crawford.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Somehow real quick. While I am excited for Russell Wilson,
- 27:11Speaker 2: I think it's the right call. I have my real
- 27:13Speaker 2: doubts he's gonna be a good announcer. That guy is
- 27:15Speaker 2: just so freaking corny, man. You know what, It's gonna
- 27:18Speaker 2: be one or the other. Yeah, it's gonna either be
- 27:20Speaker 2: really good or really bad, and uh.
- 27:23Speaker 6: Be really entertaining.
- 27:24Speaker 2: That's that's fair too, That's fair too. But you think
- 27:26Speaker 2: Fernando Mendez his corny Wait till you see Russell Wilson
- 27:29Speaker 2: having a mic in front of them.
- 27:30Speaker 6: I think. I think if he is coached and takes
- 27:33Speaker 6: the coaching and tells all his people around him that
- 27:36Speaker 6: tell him how great he is. Take that whole entourage,
- 27:40Speaker 6: tell them to shut the hell up. Yeah, take the coaching,
- 27:43Speaker 6: because here's the thing. At that level, listen, even at
- 27:46Speaker 6: our regional level, producers and good TV people coach you up.
- 27:51Speaker 6: And if you're willing to listen. And if he if
- 27:54Speaker 6: he takes that coach, I think he'll be great. He
- 27:56Speaker 6: has I think that. Yeah, just but just don't just
- 28:00Speaker 6: just let the let the let them help you. Yeah,
- 28:03Speaker 6: I think. I mean Tom Brady's a good example. He
- 28:04Speaker 6: was awful his first year. He's better now.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Right, it's true, Right, that's true.
- 28:08Speaker 6: I think he'll be great. Okay, Chris, listen, thank you,
- 28:11Speaker 6: great job on the show today. I was listening when

- 33:30Speaker 3: God, that's not weird Mexico South Africa first game.
- 33:33Speaker 6: Is that gonna be a good game?
- 33:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually think so Mexico should win. They usually
- 33:37Speaker 1: like to get the host, one of the host countries
- 33:41Speaker 1: a positive game for their first you know game in
- 33:45Speaker 1: the in the tournament.
- 33:45Speaker 3: But you never know.
- 33:46Speaker 1: South Africa beat Mexico the first game of the twenty
- 33:48Speaker 1: ten World Cup as well.
- 33:49Speaker 6: So our game here against Australia are as being America.
- 33:53Speaker 6: That that's that's a US win, right should be. I mean,
- 33:57Speaker 6: that's that's the US's second game. Remember US Paraguay is
- 34:00Speaker 6: Friday at twelfth, the week from today.
- 34:02Speaker 1: We'll have that. Of course in ninety three point three.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Jackson will host the pregame halftime in postgame furious felts.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Furious felts. Absolutely. I will make my iHeart World Cup
- 34:13Speaker 1: debut the following day on Saturday for Brazil versus Morocco,
- 34:17Speaker 1: which I think is actually a really good game.
- 34:19Speaker 6: That's what I was going to ask you about. If
- 34:20Speaker 6: you want to play golf that day, you're busy. You're busy, okay,
- 34:22Speaker 6: I am.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately it's the middle of the day too. Yeah.
- 34:25Speaker 6: The next Saturday and the next Saturday, I know you're
- 34:29Speaker 6: I know you're busy, Jackants, You and Jackson are going
- 34:32Speaker 6: to be massively busy. If you missed the announcement yesterday
- 34:34Speaker 6: on iheartwork carrying all the games on either ninth ninety
- 34:37Speaker 6: three point three KJFM or nine to fifty on the
- 34:38Speaker 6: AM dial. USA games will be on ninety three point
- 34:41Speaker 6: three KJRFM, and Jackson and Andrews are doing stuff not
- 34:44Speaker 6: just for us here in this market, but really for
- 34:46Speaker 6: I think stations across the country, which is really cool.
- 34:48Speaker 6: You guys are gonna be doing a ton of stuff, yep,
- 34:50Speaker 6: and I think it's really exciting. So okay, we'll take
- 34:52Speaker 6: a break, come back. This was a week. This was
- 34:56Speaker 6: a week. Maybe the most impactful news immediately, I think
- 35:01Speaker 6: the most impactful news down the road is Melinda French
- 35:04Speaker 6: Gates joining up with Samantha Hallway because of the obvious
- 35:08Speaker 6: ramifications with the NBA. But the most impactful thing immediately, Andrews,
- 35:14Speaker 6: I think you would agree with me, would be the
- 35:16Speaker 6: fact that, oh, by the way, the Seattle Seahawks now
- 35:19Speaker 6: gonna face Miles Garrett twice a year in the NFC West.
- 35:22Speaker 3: Fun.
- 35:23Speaker 6: Lots of fun. What does that mean? We had a
- 35:25Speaker 6: great conversation with Hugh Millan about that. We're gonna bring
- 35:27Speaker 6: that up next. Nine three point three KTERFM.

- 36:15Speaker 6: in sports. Daniel O'Neil by the way at one twenty,
- 36:18Speaker 6: Hugh Millen had a chance to catch up with him
- 36:21Speaker 6: and just got a quick thought from Hugh Miles Garrett
- 36:24Speaker 6: coming to the rams. That was the news that we
- 36:27Speaker 6: started the week off on Monday, Seahawk fans. After I
- 36:30Speaker 6: spent the last two days at OTAs, I wanted to
- 36:32Speaker 6: get our guy, our analyst, our insider, Hugh millon, how
- 36:35Speaker 6: terrifying is it that Miles Garrett's now a ramp.
- 36:37Speaker 9: Well, you watch the tape and you just see exactly
- 36:41Speaker 9: what he is. I mean, he's a guy that's that's
- 36:44Speaker 9: already entrenched in Canton. And you know, these sacks are illuminating.
- 36:50Speaker 9: There's only four players in the history of the NFL
- 36:53Speaker 9: with over one hundred sacks at the age of thirty
- 36:58Speaker 9: or younger. Counting all those sacks and the first three,
- 37:04Speaker 9: I want you to make a note of how tightly
- 37:07Speaker 9: clump they are.
- 37:08Speaker 6: Okay, TJ.
- 37:09Speaker 9: Watt one hundred and one, yep, Jared Allen with the
- 37:12Speaker 9: one hundred and five. Reggie White is second on the
- 37:15Speaker 9: list with one hundred and eight. Okay, right, So seven
- 37:20Speaker 9: separate all three of them. Right Then, from Reggie White
- 37:22Speaker 9: at one hundred and eight, you jump to Miles Garrett
- 37:25Speaker 9: at one hundred and twenty four and a half. Now,
- 37:27Speaker 9: there's been a couple of years where they've had seventeen games,
- 37:30Speaker 9: I guess, but that just shows you the dominance that
- 37:33Speaker 9: he's had, and so you're talking about a guy there
- 37:38Speaker 9: is not a classification of defensive ends that you can
- 37:43Speaker 9: present that he's not in. He's in the class with
- 37:47Speaker 9: Reggie White, he's in the class with Deacon Jones, he's
- 37:50Speaker 9: in the class with Bruce Smith. Right, And so excuse me,
- 37:55Speaker 9: there's that piece. And then when I throw on the
- 37:57Speaker 9: tape and I see, you know, first of all, like
- 38:01Speaker 9: his frame is incredible. He's a little is six to
- 38:05Speaker 9: four and a quarter, which is a little bit over
- 38:08Speaker 9: the median in height, but his arm length is ninety
- 38:10Speaker 9: fourth percentile. In fact, out of two one hundred and
- 38:15Speaker 9: three defensive ends last year with a sack, he had
- 38:19Speaker 9: the tenth longest out of two oh three. So you
- 38:22Speaker 9: see that on the tape where when he wants to
- 38:24Speaker 9: put his arms out and get into the chest of
- 38:27Speaker 9: a tackle, they can't reach him. He has the highest
- 38:31Speaker 9: jump vertical jump in the history of the combine of
- 38:35Speaker 9: any player over two hundred and seventy pounds forty one inches.
- 38:39Speaker 9: It's only three guys at forty he's got the highest
- 38:41Speaker 9: forty one. His thirty three reps are in the ninety
- 38:44Speaker 9: fifth percentile. So what you say, Well, you don't jump
- 38:47Speaker 9: on a football field. Yeah, but that's a measure of
- 38:50Speaker 9: his strength as explosion is he can lift two hundred
- 38:53Speaker 9: and seventy pounds off the ground that high, right, So
- 38:57Speaker 9: those are combine numbers, and that's why all the gms
- 39:01Speaker 9: go to the combine because then when you see the
- 39:03Speaker 9: combine numbers and you throw on the tape, you see
- 39:05Speaker 9: the strength. You see the the the the burst. The
- 39:11Speaker 9: low man wins leverage and and then and then as
- 39:15Speaker 9: far as his polish, at this juncture, he's got a
- 39:19Speaker 9: speed and he can turn the corner, he can dip
- 39:21Speaker 9: the souler. He shows that repeatedly. Speed to power is there,
- 39:27Speaker 9: the bull rush off the jump is there. I described
- 39:31Speaker 9: Ian this euro step and we.
- 39:33Speaker 6: All want to know about that. The second step you
- 39:36Speaker 6: said in the eurostep that he hass Yeah.
- 39:38Speaker 9: Well we know the euro step as an NBA player
- 39:41Speaker 9: is going down the lane like the big step, and
- 39:43Speaker 9: it looks kind of looks like traveling, but but it
- 39:45Speaker 9: never is. So what he'll do he's a right end.
- 39:48Speaker 9: By the way, he had the highest percentage of right end.
- 39:50Speaker 9: And by the way, we'll talk about structurally and schematically
- 39:55Speaker 9: how he fits in with the rams because there's an
- 39:56Speaker 9: important point on that. But remember right in so he
- 40:00Speaker 9: comes off, he's going against a left tackle. He's a
- 40:04Speaker 9: high cut guy with a high waisted, long leg, you know,
- 40:06Speaker 9: and that generally from a body composition standpoint, John Schneider said,
- 40:11Speaker 9: body profiling is a huge part of what we do.
- 40:13Speaker 9: That's a direct quote. And when you look at a
- 40:15Speaker 9: high cut guy like Miles Garrett, he takes a big
- 40:19Speaker 9: lunch with his right leg, which induces the left tackle
- 40:22Speaker 9: to try and beat him to the outside. He's worried
- 40:25Speaker 9: about getting beat to the outside, and then with his
- 40:29Speaker 9: his weight on his right foot, his outside leg, he
- 40:32Speaker 9: does like a crossover, big jump back to the inside
- 40:37Speaker 9: on his left foot into what's called the B gap
- 40:40Speaker 9: between the guard and the tackle, and from there he
- 40:42Speaker 9: can he can accelerate with that explosiveness that he has.
- 40:46Speaker 9: He did that what I just described against Trent Williams
- 40:48Speaker 9: for a sack. Against Trent Williams, of course, the left
- 40:51Speaker 9: tackle for the forty nine ers, he's just as yeah,
- 40:54Speaker 9: he's just as Canton bounds as Garrett is right, and
- 40:58Speaker 9: the NFL tabulate that two point three seconds to the sack,
- 41:03Speaker 9: that is extremely rare. In fact, where's my numbers? Oh,
- 41:08Speaker 9: I think that only thirty about thirty percent of all
- 41:13Speaker 9: NFL sacks are under three seconds. He he got to
- 41:17Speaker 9: purty in two point three and and and he did
- 41:21Speaker 9: that against Trent Williams who barely touched And then and
- 41:23Speaker 9: then from that eurostep that I described where I said
- 41:26Speaker 9: what he lunges with his right leg, then back to
- 41:30Speaker 9: his left, but then he can go back out to
- 41:33Speaker 9: his right, so it's like a zigzag. It's like, let
- 41:36Speaker 9: me leap to the right, leap to the left, and
- 41:37Speaker 9: then come back out to the right. So what I'm
- 41:40Speaker 9: trying to say is he has a bevy of moves
- 41:45Speaker 9: that that in conjunction with his near perfect athletic profile,
- 41:51Speaker 9: his combine perfection right.
- 41:56Speaker 6: Paired with his different use now he doesn't have a
- 41:58Speaker 6: spin move.
- 42:00Speaker 9: I don't think he's great with his hands. The other
- 42:02Speaker 9: defensive ends that you know, they do a lot of
- 42:04Speaker 9: offseason work with martial arts training. You know of how
- 42:07Speaker 9: to get guys hand So I don't see greatness in
- 42:10Speaker 9: that regards. He's just strong enough and uh and and
- 42:14Speaker 9: quick enough and accelerating enough that he doesn't need that
- 42:19Speaker 9: and and and I had mentioned. I'll wrap it up
- 42:22Speaker 9: with what the tape shows in this his first step
- 42:26Speaker 9: I've seen I've seen defensive ends that have a faster
- 42:31Speaker 9: first step, and uh, you know, Trayvon Walker, for example,
- 42:35Speaker 9: the number one overall pick, you know, would be an
- 42:39Speaker 9: example of that. So I don't think his his first
- 42:42Speaker 9: step is elite, elite. But once he gets his second
- 42:47Speaker 9: step and second, third, and fourth and fifth, now all
- 42:49Speaker 9: of a sudden, he's blazing, and uh and the speed
- 42:53Speaker 9: is there, so he he has everything you want and
- 42:57Speaker 9: and uh, you know, it's it's it's for Charles Cross
- 43:00Speaker 9: to have to deal with. So I'm sure that he's
- 43:03Speaker 9: he's put a couple extra reps in the weight room
- 43:07Speaker 9: over the last couple of days knowing that he's gonna
- 43:10Speaker 9: have to go against a Hall of Fame wing of
- 43:14Speaker 9: the Hall of Fame type of defensive end. That's what
- 43:17Speaker 9: the Rams just acquired. In my opinion, I just got
- 43:19Speaker 9: a couple of minutes left.
- 43:20Speaker 6: Let me ask you just Sea for Seattle schematically, we
- 43:22Speaker 6: care about the Seahawks more than other teams. But for
- 43:24Speaker 6: Seattle schematically, you've talked a lot on hardcore football kind
- 43:26Speaker 6: of about the tighter formations and they'll play a lot
- 43:28Speaker 6: of two tight end sets well Seattle and stuff like that.
- 43:32Speaker 6: Is Garrett just the kind of guy you're just gonna
- 43:34Speaker 6: when you go into a game against the Rams that
- 43:36Speaker 6: that Brian Flurry and company are gonna have to scheme against.
- 43:39Speaker 6: And whether it's keeping a tight end in there or
- 43:41Speaker 6: whatever they do, you know to help out Cross.
- 43:44Speaker 9: Yeah, well, first thing, there's a little bit of a schematic.
- 43:50Speaker 9: I don't know about adjustment. I'm curious whether they make
- 43:53Speaker 9: the adjustment. But the Rams were more a three to
- 43:55Speaker 9: four team in base where their defensive ends technically are
- 43:59Speaker 9: Bradon Fists and Kobe Turner. Yeah, right, and and and
- 44:03Speaker 9: they had Jared versus an outside linebacker. Now, you know,
- 44:06Speaker 9: teams will typically, you know, particularly on third down, you know,
- 44:09Speaker 9: teams that were three to four, they'll drop into a
- 44:12Speaker 9: forty and and and you'll put the guy's hand on
- 44:15Speaker 9: the ground or whatever, or he'll be acting as a
- 44:17Speaker 9: defensive end. But but structurally yet, Miles Garrett almost exclusively
- 44:23Speaker 9: right end.
- 44:24Speaker 6: In fact, he.
- 44:25Speaker 9: Was what it was seventy nine seventy nine point six
- 44:29Speaker 9: percent as a right end. That was that was a
- 44:33Speaker 9: number one in the NFL as a percentage and then
- 44:36Speaker 9: snaps six hundred and sixty four snaps at right end.
- 44:39Speaker 9: That's number one in the NFL. So is Miles Garrett.
- 44:44Speaker 9: You know, you're not going to ask Miles Garrett all
- 44:46Speaker 9: of a sudden to be an outside linebacker the way
- 44:48Speaker 9: Jared Verse was on certain fronts. So I think that
- 44:52Speaker 9: we may see somewhat of a significant overhaul schematically from
- 44:58Speaker 9: the Rams just to accommodate my Miles Garrett's talents and
- 45:01Speaker 9: where he's best, which is, you know, lining up as
- 45:03Speaker 9: a four to three in.
- 45:06Speaker 6: Well, great news. Hopefully number ninety nine doesn't come back either.
- 45:09Speaker 9: And I'm sorry I pause, but I don't think I
- 45:13Speaker 9: directly answered your question. I think that I think, like
- 45:16Speaker 9: we know this, the Sea Arks are going to have
- 45:18Speaker 9: a plan for how to help Charles Cross. Like they're
- 45:22Speaker 9: not gonna sit there and just you know, let Miles
- 45:25Speaker 9: Garrett wreck the game and just you know, throw in
- 45:29Speaker 9: the towel and say, well, Charles Cross can't block Miles Garrett,
- 45:33Speaker 9: so we're gonna lose today. They're gonna have a plan,
- 45:36Speaker 9: you know, They're going to try and slide and turn
- 45:38Speaker 9: the protection. So maybe Gray's abel will have a number
- 45:41Speaker 9: of reps where he's helping Charles Cross. You know, depending
- 45:44Speaker 9: on the front and if it's just a four man
- 45:47Speaker 9: rush that they can have tight end blocking, they can
- 45:53Speaker 9: have chip running backs chip, although that's that can be
- 45:57Speaker 9: a little bit of a gamble because sometimes the running
- 46:01Speaker 9: back just gums up the whole situation for the tackle.
- 46:04Speaker 9: But certainly a tight end to elongate the edge so
- 46:09Speaker 9: that he has to be wider from the ball so
- 46:11Speaker 9: he's longer distance to go to get to Sam Darnold.
- 46:14Speaker 9: You put a tight end on that side, just close
- 46:18Speaker 9: the end. That can help just by alignment, even if
- 46:21Speaker 9: the tight end doesn't block him, just by alignment. So
- 46:23Speaker 9: there's some things you can do to try and alleviate
- 46:28Speaker 9: some of this, but those those things have been attempted
- 46:31Speaker 9: against the Browns and Miles Garrett has still you know,
- 46:34Speaker 9: produced he was number one in the NFL and sacks,
- 46:36Speaker 9: of course, he was number one in the entire league,
- 46:39Speaker 9: not just ends. In havoc plays, which is tackles for loss,
- 46:42Speaker 9: forced fumbles, interceptions, pass breakups, and sacks he was number two,
- 46:46Speaker 9: and hits number four and pressures. You know, he's a
- 46:49Speaker 9: load and the tape shows it. And for twenty twenty six.
- 46:54Speaker 9: It's hard to make an argument that the Rams didn't
- 46:58Speaker 9: significantly help themselves now yours twenty seven, and beyond all
- 47:01Speaker 9: the the contract, the first round draft picks, all that,
- 47:04Speaker 9: what they gave up, we're up against it. We won't
- 47:07Speaker 9: discuss that. Much of that is obvious. But it's also
- 47:10Speaker 9: obvious that the Rams are a lot better today than
- 47:13Speaker 9: they were a week ago.
- 47:17Speaker 6: That is Hugh milling with us this week. So here's
- 47:21Speaker 6: the two things that jump out Anders one really good,
- 47:24Speaker 6: Miles Garrett, Yeah, you think good, really good use analysis.
- 47:29Speaker 6: Both are good.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Both are very good.
- 47:31Speaker 6: What a Newsy week?
- 47:32Speaker 8: So you know what?

- 49:17Speaker 6: The Mariners swept a series and then won two more
- 49:19Speaker 6: games to have an eight game winning straight before it
- 49:21Speaker 6: was finally snapped. And that is like page that's like
- 49:26Speaker 6: under the fold because on Monday, we had a situation
- 49:31Speaker 6: in which, in the span of about eight minutes, we
- 49:33Speaker 6: found out that Miles Garrett's going to the Rams, Seattle's
- 49:36Speaker 6: biggest threat to go back to back and back to
- 49:38Speaker 6: back Super Bowls. Eight minutes later we find out Melinda
- 49:41Speaker 6: French Gates emphasized the last name Gates. Yes, an ex
- 49:46Speaker 6: but still Gates and her thirty billion dollar portfolio are
- 49:49Speaker 6: joining the One Roof group with Samantha Holloway, who on
- 49:53Speaker 6: the crack and are leading to try to get an
- 49:55Speaker 6: NBA franchise. Here, Danny, that was our week. Where do

- 50:00Speaker 10: You also have to throw in there that on on
- 50:02Speaker 10: Sunday night, the San Antonio.
- 50:04Speaker 8: Spurs through the.
- 50:07Speaker 10: Undead heart of Oklahoma City, which was fantastic to see.
- 50:11Speaker 8: So that that gets piled on there somewhere.
- 50:14Speaker 10: But yeah, I think let's start with Miles Garrett because
- 50:18Speaker 10: it's certainly not good news that he's going to the Rams.
- 50:22Speaker 10: But it makes me puzzled as to what exactly the
- 50:24Speaker 10: Rams are doing. Why do you spend your your thirteenth
- 50:30Speaker 10: overall pick on a quarterback or on a quarterback you
- 50:33Speaker 10: hope doesn't play, when you're then going to go ahead
- 50:35Speaker 10: and gut your future again to acquire Miles Garrett. It
- 50:39Speaker 10: seems there's there's still at cross purposes here. It feels
- 50:43Speaker 10: like they not sure exactly what they should do.
- 50:47Speaker 6: I would say, and Andrews, I bet you'll back me
- 50:50Speaker 6: up on this, because as Danny was going through that,
- 50:52Speaker 6: you know what came to my mind is that the
- 50:56Speaker 6: La Rams, they might be the Las Vegas Knights exactly
- 51:01Speaker 6: what they are, because it's we don't really care about
- 51:04Speaker 6: our draft picks. We don't care about developing anybody, we
- 51:07Speaker 6: don't care about building it. No, no, We're just gonna
- 51:10Speaker 6: go out and cherry pick whatever we can, whether it
- 51:13Speaker 6: be a quarterback in Matthew Stafford, every receiver not named
- 51:17Speaker 6: Puka Nakua. And that's a whole different situation. Whether he's
- 51:20Speaker 6: even gonna come back. I mean, they're not even to
- 51:22Speaker 6: sign him. It sounds like till the end of the year,
- 51:23Speaker 6: if at all, and then we'll just go out and
- 51:26Speaker 6: find the best pass rusher we can Miles Garrett. It's
- 51:29Speaker 6: I mean, Vegas has like one two, one or two
- 51:31Speaker 6: guys that they drafted and they're playing for the stand
- 51:33Speaker 6: like a final and that's how they operate every year.
- 51:35Speaker 6: That's who the Rams are. Let's just go out and
- 51:37Speaker 6: get guys we don't we don't need draft Ty Simpson whatever. Man,
- 51:41Speaker 6: Let's just go out and do our thing. That's kind
- 51:43Speaker 6: of what they're doing.
- 51:44Speaker 1: And well, you know, I'll jump in really quick because
- 51:46Speaker 1: there was a story that did come out saying that
- 51:48Speaker 1: the Rams during the draft knew that this trade was
- 51:50Speaker 1: pretty far along, and knowing that they were going to
- 51:54Speaker 1: trade their first round pick for next year, knowing that
- 51:57Speaker 1: they needed a quarterback after Matthew Stafford they weren't going
- 51:59Speaker 1: to be able to get so they needed to do
- 52:03Speaker 1: one this year.
- 52:04Speaker 6: That makes sense, So, Danny, that's who they are. They're
- 52:06Speaker 6: just a Les sneeze, just a hit man. He's just
- 52:08Speaker 6: going out there, fine dues man, sniping them off.
- 52:11Speaker 10: Well, and look, they've done an incredible job. And I'll
- 52:15Speaker 10: say that I expected them to go off the cliff
- 52:18Speaker 10: a couple of years ago after they've traded all those
- 52:21Speaker 10: first round picks. I mean, they didn't pick in the
- 52:23Speaker 10: first round for like six years, and they didn't, so
- 52:25Speaker 10: credit to them. However, I also feel that the year
- 52:29Speaker 10: they won the Super Bowl, which was the year they
- 52:32Speaker 10: acquired Matt Stafford, they also came very close to losing
- 52:35Speaker 10: in the divisional round of the playoffs. If you remember
- 52:38Speaker 10: that year, Brady was up on them. It took a
- 52:40Speaker 10: late completion from yeah, from Stafford to Cooper Cup to
- 52:45Speaker 10: get it. And if they lose that game, well then
- 52:47Speaker 10: we're talking about, hey, they went all in, and this
- 52:49Speaker 10: is the danger of it, because if you don't win
- 52:51Speaker 10: the super Bowl now and I feel like, Okay, it
- 52:53Speaker 10: worked out for him last time, and they've decided to
- 52:56Speaker 10: do it again, and they're they're kind of like that
- 52:59Speaker 10: very of jack blackjack player that just like, okay, we
- 53:03Speaker 10: are unrelenting aggrection the year. And look, again, there's a
- 53:07Speaker 10: little bit of this. I recognize that I'm trying to
- 53:09Speaker 10: talk myself into the idea that this isn't a doomsday
- 53:12Speaker 10: scenario for the Seahawks. But I also am very very
- 53:16Speaker 10: cognizant of all the times that teams have put together
- 53:19Speaker 10: what they do with dream teams. It usually doesn't work
- 53:23Speaker 10: out like they think. I remember Philadelphia when they went
- 53:27Speaker 10: out and got Nombi awesome one and I'm dating myself
- 53:29Speaker 10: because that's fifteen years ago at this point, and they
- 53:32Speaker 10: signed Vinjum. They had all this and they talked about
- 53:34Speaker 10: a dream team. It's it's hard to do this in football.
- 53:37Speaker 10: It's harder to do this in football, I feel than
- 53:39Speaker 10: it is another sports.
- 53:42Speaker 6: It is also like you're going all in like that too,
- 53:44Speaker 6: like you better win it, right, yeah you you you really,
- 53:48Speaker 6: you truly better win it, and and if you don't,
- 53:51Speaker 6: then there's a there's an issue along the way. But yeah, listen,
- 53:54Speaker 6: you know we were at Seahawks OTA's the last two
- 53:57Speaker 6: days and the you know, we didn't care, We don't care.
- 54:00Speaker 6: Whatever the line is. I mean that's I talked to
- 54:02Speaker 6: Jalen Sundal yesterday. He's just like Soddell's a center, so
- 54:05Speaker 6: he doesn't necessarily have to see Miles garrett Is up close.
- 54:09Speaker 6: But when I was bringing it up, he's just like
- 54:10Speaker 6: whatever man like it. I think one of the strengths,
- 54:15Speaker 6: one of the true strengths of what Mike McDonald has built.
- 54:19Speaker 6: They are very much in a cocoon out there, like
- 54:21Speaker 6: they don't care. They really don't. They're just in their
- 54:24Speaker 6: own world. Such a weird dynamic out there too, by
- 54:27Speaker 6: the way, Danny, because you know, it's such a it's
- 54:30Speaker 6: kind of a quiet, subdued, very likable group. It's very
- 54:33Speaker 6: much the opposite of the last Super Bowl champion. And
- 54:37Speaker 6: I think they they frankly don't care and they're just
- 54:40Speaker 6: gonna move on. The nice thing is they don't see
- 54:42Speaker 6: those guys. This is actually where the schedule could be
- 54:44Speaker 6: good dude, Danny. They don't see until yeah, and so
- 54:48Speaker 6: we're gonna was now. We're assuming Seattle stays healthy as well.
- 54:51Speaker 6: But I like Sam Donald's chances of being healthy a
- 54:54Speaker 6: lot more than a thirty eight year old Matthew Stafford
- 54:57Speaker 6: all year long.
- 54:58Speaker 8: Yeah, he had last year. There were questions even coming
- 55:01Speaker 8: into training camp, what is back?
- 55:02Speaker 10: Was like, Look, they're a really good team. Miles Garrett
- 55:05Speaker 10: is a really good player. He's the best defensive player.
- 55:08Speaker 10: This is the first time in the NFL you're gonna
- 55:10Speaker 10: have the reigning MVP and the reigning Defensive Player of
- 55:13Speaker 10: the Year on the same roster at the same time
- 55:16Speaker 10: Miles Garrett did. They're losing Jarrett Verse, who is a
- 55:19Speaker 10: really good player for them. And I'm not gonna say
- 55:21Speaker 10: that's a wash because it's not. Miles Garrett is a
- 55:24Speaker 10: different echelon of player, But it's they're gonna miss They're
- 55:27Speaker 10: gonna miss Verse, and if not this year, they're certainly
- 55:30Speaker 10: gonna mis Verse the next two to four years when
- 55:33Speaker 10: you would expect to be the guy that emerges as
- 55:35Speaker 10: as really the leader of that defense.
- 55:38Speaker 6: Oh, there's absolutely well said. I mean absolutely well said,
- 55:41Speaker 6: and I mean I like the attitude like going forward
- 55:44Speaker 6: the Super Bowls in LA. I think the fact the
- 55:46Speaker 6: Super Bowls in l A too, probably also, you know,
- 55:48Speaker 6: is a is part of it, Like let's if we're
- 55:50Speaker 6: gonna go for it, this is the year we do it.
- 55:51Speaker 6: Although it's not like they're a lot of LA fans
- 55:54Speaker 6: because I mean they're.
- 55:55Speaker 10: Back, I don't are they gonna are they gonna start
- 55:57Speaker 10: having more RAMS fans than forty nine er fans players
- 56:01Speaker 10: and remains.
- 56:01Speaker 6: Skewed, Well, isn't. I'm trying to think the Rams forty
- 56:05Speaker 6: nine Ers game in Brazil, Andrews maybe or Argent. Where's it, dad, Andrews? Brazil, right, yeah, No, Australia, Australia, Australia.
- 56:12Speaker 6: It's Australia. Remember it's down under? Well yeah, down here, yeah, Andrews.
- 56:15Speaker 6: Can you look that up? Whose home game? That is?
- 56:17Speaker 8: For me?
- 56:17Speaker 3: Good question?
- 56:18Speaker 6: Let me check, because that's because if it's an LA
- 56:22Speaker 6: road game, that's a brilliant move on their part. That's
- 56:25Speaker 6: a brilliant move on their part, right, because it's I
- 56:29Speaker 6: covered one Charger game in Sofi, Danny when with the
- 56:34Speaker 6: Seahawks and I covered I think three Rams Seahawks games
- 56:38Speaker 6: in LA. It's an LA home game, LA home game.
- 56:40Speaker 6: Brilliant move on their part. Yeah, we'll play in Australia,
- 56:43Speaker 6: but make it be the Niners.
- 56:48Speaker 8: Export our local embarrassment.
- 56:50Speaker 6: It'll the embarrassing one is the Chargers. Like I mean,
- 56:54Speaker 6: now again, mine was one experience. It was a Seahawks,
- 56:56Speaker 6: but I mean it was ninety percent, it was a
- 57:00Speaker 6: good seventy percent Seahawk fans for the Charger game when
- 57:02Speaker 6: the Seahawks and Rams played down there, and you covered
- 57:04Speaker 6: a lot of these games it Danny had a distinct
- 57:07Speaker 6: Arizona Seahawks feel to it. Remember every Arizona game we
- 57:10Speaker 6: covered down there in Glendale with the Seahawks and the Cardinals,
- 57:14Speaker 6: it would like you'd kind of start out go, oh,
- 57:16Speaker 6: maybe you know there's some Seahawks fans here, and then
- 57:17Speaker 6: as a game we're on, I'm like, no, it's the
- 57:20Speaker 6: majority of Seahawks fans here right now. So I don't
- 57:25Speaker 6: know what.
- 57:25Speaker 8: I don't know. It's happened to the Spurs a little
- 57:28Speaker 8: bit with these nick fans.
- 57:29Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw that.
- 57:31Speaker 8: Yeah, and maybe not.
- 57:33Speaker 10: I mean, they're still mostly San Antonio fans, but there
- 57:36Speaker 10: are some obnoxious nick fans out there who were making
- 57:39Speaker 10: spectacle with themselves.
- 57:41Speaker 6: Daddy O'Neal brought to you by our good friends at
- 57:42Speaker 6: Northwest Handling Systems and thanks to Eric Gordon from Forklifts
- 57:46Speaker 6: to Pellett Racks. Paler Rax conveyers the loan to equipment.

- 57:50Speaker 6: quote today NBHS dot com give a call for zero
- 57:53Speaker 6: five hundred. Uh. Let's stay with football. This has been
- 57:57Speaker 6: a topic of conversation all week on our on our radio.
- 58:00Speaker 6: I'm sure when you're back from San Diego, you'll probably
- 58:04Speaker 6: have something to say in the dang apostrophe. Calm along
- 58:06Speaker 6: the way, Danny, what's the legacy of one Russell Wilson
- 58:09Speaker 6: When people say to you, Hey, you covered the guy
- 58:11Speaker 6: you were in Seattle, and how do you describe the
- 58:14Speaker 6: Russell Wilson legacy here? Now that we know he's going
- 58:17Speaker 6: to go, be TV guy.
- 58:19Speaker 10: Be careful what you wish for, man, and don't get
- 58:22Speaker 10: too big for your britches because Russell Wilson.
- 58:26Speaker 8: They don't win that Super Bowl without Russell Wilson.
- 58:28Speaker 10: And for whatever we saw over these last five years,
- 58:32Speaker 10: that guy was a phenomenal player for the Seattle Seahawks yep.
- 58:36Speaker 10: And he was matched with the perfect coach for him.
- 58:39Speaker 10: And the reason I say that is because he had it.
- 58:42Speaker 10: The way he plays could drive.
- 58:44Speaker 8: Offensive coordinator's nuts.
- 58:46Speaker 10: I think it was hard at times for Daryl Bebble
- 58:48Speaker 10: because Russ doesn't necessarily or often execute the offense as
- 58:54Speaker 10: it's called.
- 58:55Speaker 8: And sometimes that's a.
- 58:57Speaker 10: Huge benefit because you essentially get a second place when
- 59:00Speaker 10: he starts improvising. It also creates a situation where the
- 59:04Speaker 10: offense can go stagnant for extended periods of time because
- 59:08Speaker 10: everything is depending on him to make some sort of
- 59:11Speaker 10: dynamic play and it worked, and for ten years, he
- 59:16Speaker 10: was the winningest quarterback that this through his first ten years,
- 59:20Speaker 10: the winningest guy on a Hall of Fame trajectory. And
- 59:24Speaker 10: then he concluded that he was being held back. He
- 59:27Speaker 10: concluded that he was better and deserved more of an
- 59:30Speaker 10: input and deserve to be treated like someone who was
- 59:34Speaker 10: one of the shot callers in the organization, and we
- 59:37Speaker 10: turned out the limitations to a skill set. So to me,
- 59:42Speaker 10: the Hall of Fame is weird, and voting for the
- 59:44Speaker 10: football Hall of Fame can be strange. So I don't
- 59:46Speaker 10: want to say, hey, he's got no shot at getting
- 59:49Speaker 10: into the Hall of Fame, because I don't know how
- 59:51Speaker 10: those discussions.
- 59:52Speaker 8: Will ultimately unfold. But I do know that he went from.
- 59:56Speaker 10: Being someone who was on a clear Hall of Fame
- 59:58Speaker 10: track to someone who I don't expect to make the
- 1:00:01Speaker 10: Hall of Fame because he doesn't have that second super Bowl.
- 1:00:03Speaker 8: And the only person he.
- 1:00:05Speaker 10: Has to blame for himself is because he forced his
- 1:00:07Speaker 10: way out of what was the best situation for him.
- 1:00:10Speaker 6: I think with the yeah, with the Hall of Fame,
- 1:00:12Speaker 6: we I think it was Greg Bell brought this up
- 1:00:15Speaker 6: on his show this week or in cross talk with us,
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: and I think he nailed it by this one s
- 1:00:19Speaker 6: he's he was two yards short of of a of
- 1:00:22Speaker 6: a hall of fame. Uh. They get in the ends
- 1:00:24Speaker 6: on there and and and I think also listen, Bebell
- 1:00:28Speaker 6: took the Bebell took the heat. So did Pete to
- 1:00:31Speaker 6: a certain extent. Uh, you were there with me, we
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: were in the blocker room. I think one of the
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: underrated things. I just got to say this for a second.
- 1:00:37Speaker 6: Daryl Bebll stood up and took it that day. Like
- 1:00:40Speaker 6: we went into that locker room in the into the
- 1:00:42Speaker 6: interview room and Bebell was there waiting for the media.
- 1:00:45Speaker 6: He answered all of our questions. He took full responsibility.
- 1:00:47Speaker 6: I thought that was a little bit unfair, but he did. Uh.
- 1:00:50Speaker 6: And and you know and dal rush through the ball
- 1:00:53Speaker 6: last I checked, like rush through that ball, and you know,
- 1:00:58Speaker 6: the play call, the decision all that there were. For
- 1:01:02Speaker 6: any NFL play to be executed, good or bad, it
- 1:01:05Speaker 6: takes a lot of and the quarterback was part of it.
- 1:01:08Speaker 6: But I think as far as the Hall of Fame
- 1:01:10Speaker 6: is concerned, I think correct if you cut we kind
- 1:01:11Speaker 6: of went through this this week it's a little hard.
- 1:01:13Speaker 6: You know, the Hall of Fame monitor that Pro Football
- 1:01:15Speaker 6: Reference and others do, he doesn't qualify. His numbers aren't there.
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: And then you'll say, well, look he's a lot better
- 1:01:20Speaker 6: than all these guys. It's modern day quarterbacks. Joe Namath,
- 1:01:25Speaker 6: Roger Staubach, those guys were judged differently. And but as
- 1:01:29Speaker 6: far as Russ was concerned, he really needed that second
- 1:01:32Speaker 6: Super Bowl, I think, and it's unfortunate, but I think
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: what you said, I hadn't thought of it in those terms.
- 1:01:37Speaker 6: He decided somewhere along the way that he wanted to
- 1:01:40Speaker 6: have a say in the organization as a player. And maybe,
- 1:01:46Speaker 6: if you're hell, Danny tom Brady didn't get that right.
- 1:01:51Speaker 6: Tom Brady didn't even get that in New York or
- 1:01:54Speaker 6: in New England. So if tom Brady's not getting it,
- 1:01:57Speaker 6: how the hell are you getting it right? I think
- 1:02:00Speaker 6: that was just he he got bad advice, He had
- 1:02:03Speaker 6: bad people, He had people around him that were yes people,
- 1:02:06Speaker 6: and I think it just it something changed. We all
- 1:02:09Speaker 6: know what it was. But that's that's the unfortunate thing,
- 1:02:12Speaker 6: because you're right, he was on a Hall of Fame trajectory.
- 1:02:14Speaker 6: He would have been a Hall of Famer probably if
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: he stayed here. Now, who knows how this franchise would
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: have gone, because because they got out of his out
- 1:02:21Speaker 6: of his trade. But yeah, I think it was just
- 1:02:23Speaker 6: a bad some bad decisions on his part, and that'll
- 1:02:25Speaker 6: probably prevent him from from being in Canton someday.
- 1:02:28Speaker 10: Yeah, And look, Russell, to accomplish what he did in
- 1:02:33Speaker 10: football required a huge amount of confidence in himself and
- 1:02:37Speaker 10: the willingness to to to really put all his chips
- 1:02:42Speaker 10: into football, even when people were saying he was going
- 1:02:44Speaker 10: to be too short, and that was still being said
- 1:02:46Speaker 10: when he was drafted, And maybe the confidence that was
- 1:02:49Speaker 10: required for him to make it in spite of that
- 1:02:52Speaker 10: made it so that he was always going to have
- 1:02:55Speaker 10: an outside the level of confidence in himself. And this
- 1:02:58Speaker 10: is sort of just the trade off that it doesn't
- 1:03:01Speaker 10: appear that he at least as far as he's projected,
- 1:03:04Speaker 10: that he has second.
- 1:03:05Speaker 8: Thoughts or is ruined. He still believes he can play.
- 1:03:09Speaker 10: I think that he's called it a pause in his
- 1:03:12Speaker 10: career because I think he wonders if somebody gets hurt,
- 1:03:15Speaker 10: will a team offer him an opportunity. I don't really
- 1:03:18Speaker 10: see that happening. I think that I don't see a
- 1:03:21Speaker 10: Philip Rivers like renaissance for him because he plays quarterback
- 1:03:26Speaker 10: one very specific way and it's according to kind of
- 1:03:29Speaker 10: how he sees the game and his willingness to hold
- 1:03:32Speaker 10: onto the ball. And it's just funny when he entered
- 1:03:35Speaker 10: the league, right there were the five quarterbacks.
- 1:03:36Speaker 8: It was the gang of five. People talked about.
- 1:03:38Speaker 10: It was Cam Newton, was Colin Kaepernick, was Russell Wilson,
- 1:03:42Speaker 10: Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin third, and Russ lasted longer
- 1:03:46Speaker 10: than all of those guys. All of those guys moved
- 1:03:49Speaker 10: a little bit too and ran around, and I think
- 1:03:52Speaker 10: that you saw some of the some of the weight
- 1:03:55Speaker 10: the damage that that carries.
- 1:03:56Speaker 8: And then the other thing.
- 1:03:57Speaker 10: Is the guy that ended up playing the longest side
- 1:03:59Speaker 10: of that draft classes Kirk Cousins, which.
- 1:04:01Speaker 6: I know I was just thinking Kirk Cousins. And the
- 1:04:05Speaker 6: twist is Kirk Cousins didn't play at all his rookie
- 1:04:09Speaker 6: year as a backup to RG three. Until we're sitting there,
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: and then then they in h in at FedEx Field
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: on the sand pit that was FedEx Field that day
- 1:04:19Speaker 6: and watching basically most of most of those two teams,
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: whether it was Chris Clements, Stephen Haushka, RG three whatever.
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: All their legs blow up in that brutal field. And
- 1:04:30Speaker 6: then Kirk Cousins, Remember Kirk Cousins comes in for the
- 1:04:32Speaker 6: first time or he came in late in that game, like,
- 1:04:34Speaker 6: there's no way this guy's going to be good. He
- 1:04:36Speaker 6: just looked over his skis and his to his credit,
- 1:04:38Speaker 6: he's still there. He's the one guy that's still going.
- 1:04:41Speaker 6: You know. That's that's insane, all right, Danny O'Neil. He
- 1:04:45Speaker 6: is in La Jolla, San Diego. I hear kids in

- 1:07:45Speaker 6: tied one game apiece Andrews. Both teams now in this
- 1:07:48Speaker 6: series have held two to nothing leads in a game,
- 1:07:51Speaker 6: and both teams have lost the game in which they
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: led two to nothing.
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:07:55Speaker 6: Last night to nothing lead by the Vegas gold Knights,
- 1:07:58Speaker 6: and we're thinking, I'll be all honest with you, like
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: I want Vegas to win. I know I'm in the
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: minority by some, but I just hate the owner for Carolina. Yep,
- 1:08:07Speaker 6: I I I want Vegas. I want a good series. Yeah.
- 1:08:11Speaker 6: And when it's two notugh in Vegas, I'm.
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: Like going back to Vegas.
- 1:08:15Speaker 6: By the way, are we going to have a Colorado
- 1:08:16Speaker 6: series and sweep or what We're Nope, We're going at
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: least five, and I think this is gonna go six
- 1:08:20Speaker 6: or seven when it's all said and done. Lots went
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: on in that game last night. Unsuccessful challenge in a
- 1:08:27Speaker 6: two to two game by Torts John Tortorella, Vegas coach,
- 1:08:31Speaker 6: results in the go ahead goal by Jordan Stall Vegas
- 1:08:34Speaker 6: ties it with the net empty mark Stone and we
- 1:08:37Speaker 6: go to overtime and Seth Jarvis, the former Portland winter Hawk.
- 1:08:40Speaker 6: Portland sucks. Seth Jarvis, the former Portland winter Hawk, scores
- 1:08:44Speaker 6: and Vegas wins it by a finals or Carolina wins
- 1:08:46Speaker 6: by a final score four to three. We're tied at
- 1:08:48Speaker 6: one game apiece, heading back to Vegas.
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: Do you have a question for you, Yes, sir.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: So, in soccer they always say, oh, two zero is
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: the most dangerous lead in soccer. Is that the same
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: thing in hockey.
- 1:08:58Speaker 6: I've never heard it for soccer. I certainly heard it
- 1:09:00Speaker 6: for hockey. Really, Oh okay, So I thought to nothing
- 1:09:02Speaker 6: in soccer would be like insturmountable.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: No, it's because, like notoriously, teams let their foot off
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: the gas a little bit thinking it's already and once they.
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: Score one the momentum.
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: I always thought to one was the most dangerous lead
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: in soccer because like to zero, as long as you
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: don't let them score that first goal, then everything's fine,
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: and like obviously you're you're gonna win the game if.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: You don't let them score.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: But then once they get that first one, it's like, oh,
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: they have the momentum there they could taste a comeback
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: sort of thing.
- 1:09:31Speaker 6: So I don't know, yeah, that was That's what I mean.
- 1:09:34Speaker 6: Stan Covin scores last night midway through the second period
- 1:09:37Speaker 6: or third period, I mean, it's too nothing hid in
- 1:09:39Speaker 6: the third. That's almost I think if you look at
- 1:09:42Speaker 6: their stats in the NHL, leading after two, yeah, most teams,
- 1:09:45Speaker 6: even bad teams that lead after to have a huge
- 1:09:49Speaker 6: huge It's like in baseball if you're leading after seven
- 1:09:52Speaker 6: or eight inning exactly like I think if I would
- 1:09:53Speaker 6: get the Mariners, like if like I think they have
- 1:09:55Speaker 6: one come from behind win this year, I think, really, well,
- 1:09:58Speaker 6: look that I'm gonna looking up well in terms of yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:02Speaker 6: I'll look it up real quick. But yeah, and then
- 1:10:04Speaker 6: there's a challenge last night, he's a you know, it's
- 1:10:06Speaker 6: an unsuccessful challenge, and I don't know. I I think
- 1:10:10Speaker 6: I would have backed off of that. But towards his
- 1:10:12Speaker 6: torts and our buddy Mike Benton had a good point.
- 1:10:15Speaker 6: If you I like John Tortorella sometimes not a lot
- 1:10:19Speaker 6: of people do, but I had I just have a
- 1:10:22Speaker 6: problem with with coaches that are doing the two word
- 1:10:25Speaker 6: one word answers and and what I'm talking in the finals, right, yea,
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: just unacceptable, like just be better, like I just And
- 1:10:37Speaker 6: here's the other part of it. When he gets inevitably
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: fired again by Vegas at some point true because well
- 1:10:43Speaker 6: because in hockey every coach gets fired. Don't hire him
- 1:10:47Speaker 6: if you're a network. It's just it's just disrespectful to
- 1:10:53Speaker 6: the media that cover the games, you know, just disrespectful.
- 1:10:57Speaker 6: That's that's the guy you want to you know, hit
- 1:10:59Speaker 6: your wagon to no Alright, Mariners, Uh, Mariners trail? Oh
- 1:11:02Speaker 6: my god, this is crazy. Anders?
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: What is it?
- 1:11:05Speaker 6: Miners is sue? What do you think their record? Okay,
- 1:11:07Speaker 6: they've played twenty three times this season, they've trailed after
- 1:11:10Speaker 6: seven innings? What do you think the record is.
- 1:11:14Speaker 3: Three and twenty one in twenty two?
- 1:11:16Speaker 6: Jesus what Mariners are one in twenty two and trailing
- 1:11:21Speaker 6: after seven?
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: What about trailing after six because that would be more
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: after two periods.
- 1:11:26Speaker 6: Three and twenty one? Yeah, they are one. They are
- 1:11:32Speaker 6: one in twenty six when trailing after eight. Geez, now
- 1:11:36Speaker 6: here's a crazy thing. Seven to one when tied after
- 1:11:39Speaker 6: eight x trainings? Maybe leading after eight twenty five and three? Yeah,
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: I mean, so they don't lose games. No, when they're
- 1:11:49Speaker 6: when they're leading, that's late. Like, really, you could just
- 1:11:53Speaker 6: turn the game off after the seventh inning. If if
- 1:11:56Speaker 6: you're the you know, if you're.
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: The way must tide, just.
- 1:12:01Speaker 6: Just turn the game off. You're done. God, that's crazy.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: It doesn't make crazy.
- 1:12:07Speaker 6: Uh. Anyway, that's your daily power played brought to you

- 1:12:20Speaker 6: friend and mine, Corbyn Smith. I'm gonna I'm hoping he's

- 1:12:25Speaker 6: up Andrews. I guarantee he's going to give us the
- 1:12:28Speaker 6: name of like two undrafted free agents. We know what's
- 1:12:31Speaker 6: hurt that that he's going to say. This guy and
- 1:12:34Speaker 6: I love that about him. I is because you know
- 1:12:37Speaker 6: what happens every year they make the team. And I
- 1:12:39Speaker 6: believe I believe he might have made that call with
- 1:12:43Speaker 6: Jalen Sundel two years ago. Oh, I'm pretty sure he did,
- 1:12:47Speaker 6: like so early June Ota practices. We'll talk to Corbyn

- 1:14:09Speaker 6: was out there and so was Corbyn Smith.
- 1:14:14Speaker 5: It's time to take a deep dive into all things

- 1:14:43Speaker 6: Lake Stevens. Corbyn, can you confirm that? Is that true?
- 1:14:49Speaker 11: I think that we gotta give a little more credit
- 1:14:52Speaker 11: than that.
- 1:14:55Speaker 6: He's a good dick.
- 1:14:55Speaker 11: I'm talking from one that he found for us.
- 1:14:58Speaker 6: But anyway, yes, and you're finally getting settled in, which
- 1:15:01Speaker 6: is nice and in a way we go. So let's
- 1:15:05Speaker 6: get to it, buddy. What a week we had. We
- 1:15:07Speaker 6: had the Seahawks two OTAs. We get three days, and
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: I'm gonna guess it might not be three based on
- 1:15:12Speaker 6: past history, but at least two or three days next
- 1:15:14Speaker 6: week where we're gonna have some mini camp, manatory mini
- 1:15:17Speaker 6: camp where everyone will be there as well. But OTAs
- 1:15:20Speaker 6: are in the books now and we have a couple
- 1:15:22Speaker 6: more opportunities next week to watch this team before they
- 1:15:24Speaker 6: go away for a little over a month and then
- 1:15:26Speaker 6: lo and Behold training camp starts football season. We'll be
- 1:15:29Speaker 6: here at the end of July. Hey, before I get there.
- 1:15:32Speaker 6: This is a conversation all week, and I should mention
- 1:15:34Speaker 6: four nine four or five one is the Tacoma dotch
- 1:15:36Speaker 6: text line four nine four to five to one, texting
- 1:15:38Speaker 6: your thoughts, comments, questions, concerns four nine four to five one.
- 1:15:40Speaker 6: Also talkbacks, red microphone, iHeartRadio app are welcome as well.
- 1:15:44Speaker 8: Corbra.
- 1:15:45Speaker 6: We've been talking a lot this week on our shows,
- 1:15:47Speaker 6: all the shows here on KJR. We just had Danie
- 1:15:49Speaker 6: O'Neil on a little while ago, kind of asking everyone
- 1:15:51Speaker 6: the same question. With Russell Wilson more than likely done
- 1:15:55Speaker 6: with his career as he moves on to CBS, what's
- 1:15:58Speaker 6: Russell Wilson's legacy To Coreen Smith from Mblcity Spectrum.
- 1:16:03Speaker 11: I think that the legacy has to be a twofold thing.
- 1:16:07Speaker 7: It is the best quarterback in team history, at least
- 1:16:10Speaker 7: at this stage.
- 1:16:11Speaker 11: It's the best quarterback in team history by a pretty
- 1:16:14Speaker 11: wide margin. And an incredible philanthropist off the field. The
- 1:16:18Speaker 11: work that he did at Seattle's Children's going in every
- 1:16:22Speaker 11: single Tuesday throughout his time in Seattle.
- 1:16:26Speaker 7: The impact that he made on and off the field.
- 1:16:29Speaker 11: Yes, everybody's gonna remember how things ended, and unfortunately that's
- 1:16:33Speaker 11: something that's you know, I'm sure that it'll as time
- 1:16:35Speaker 11: goes on that that ward is going to heal some
- 1:16:38Speaker 11: but that that's always going to be remembered by a
- 1:16:41Speaker 11: lot of fans. But you also have to look back
- 1:16:43Speaker 11: at those incredible ten years. That's the best ten year
- 1:16:46Speaker 11: run by a quarterback in Seahawks history.
- 1:16:49Speaker 7: On and off the field.
- 1:16:51Speaker 6: All right, let's uh, before we get to like maybe
- 1:16:54Speaker 6: veterans and just in terms of the rotation and you
- 1:16:58Speaker 6: know who's getting reps where and all that stuff. I
- 1:17:01Speaker 6: like to do this with you because you like to
- 1:17:04Speaker 6: do this. Maybe my friend Curtis Crabtree is in that
- 1:17:07Speaker 6: same category, but you are the king of pick a
- 1:17:11Speaker 6: random player too, undrafted, free agent, whatever it might be,
- 1:17:14Speaker 6: guy coming in that. Corbyn Smith goes, Hmm, I like
- 1:17:18Speaker 6: that guy. I watched him this week, and I'm gonna
- 1:17:20Speaker 6: give you credit because I'm pretty sure you told me
- 1:17:22Speaker 6: that about Jalen Sindel a couple of years ago. All Right,
- 1:17:24Speaker 6: So let's go who's jumped out at you. That's a
- 1:17:28Speaker 6: name that Seahawk fans may not know.
- 1:17:32Speaker 11: Well, I'm actually gonna use a draft pick, believe it
- 1:17:35Speaker 11: or not, because I just don't think Michael Dansby is
- 1:17:38Speaker 11: not a guy that people were talking about much going
- 1:17:41Speaker 11: into this offseason program because he just really was an
- 1:17:46Speaker 11: afterthought in Arizona secondar. I mean, Arizona had four defensive
- 1:17:50Speaker 11: backs drafted from their team last year and he was
- 1:17:53Speaker 11: the last one. And yet you look at the stats,
- 1:17:57Speaker 11: gave up thirty six percent completion percentage inverage last year.
- 1:18:00Speaker 7: That almost looks like a typo when you read it.
- 1:18:03Speaker 7: And he had a really.
- 1:18:05Speaker 11: Impressive two open OTAs this week. He had a Willie
- 1:18:09Speaker 11: Mays over the shoulder tracking the ball at Jim Edmunds
- 1:18:13Speaker 11: type catch for interception in the end zone, and had
- 1:18:17Speaker 11: a nice pass breakup in yesterday's session and then just
- 1:18:21Speaker 11: watching the individual drills, he just he's such a fluid
- 1:18:25Speaker 11: mover in and out of its breaks. You can see
- 1:18:28Speaker 11: the speed, the quickness. I'm I'm now really intrigued because
- 1:18:32Speaker 11: we get to see Julie Neil and Andre Fuller make
- 1:18:35Speaker 11: some plays too. So it's hey, all three of these
- 1:18:37Speaker 11: rookie corners game on, competition on. But I think you
- 1:18:40Speaker 11: have to include Dansby in that discussion now if you
- 1:18:43Speaker 11: weren't going towards training camp.
- 1:18:46Speaker 6: Dansby's seventh round pick two hundred and fifty fifth overall,
- 1:18:50Speaker 6: and like you mentioned, he was kind of the one
- 1:18:52Speaker 6: of many dbs right from Arizona University version of the
- 1:18:54Speaker 6: Wildcats was drafted, and we heard a lot about other guys.
- 1:18:58Speaker 6: So let's just go through that for a second, because
- 1:19:01Speaker 6: what I'm curious about is we look to just at
- 1:19:03Speaker 6: a depth chart. I mean, listen, we know what the
- 1:19:07Speaker 6: cornerback position is gonna look like, right, It's it's we
- 1:19:10Speaker 6: know who we knew Witherspoon. We know we've got a situation. Witherspoon,
- 1:19:14Speaker 6: you got Josh Job. Pritchett comes back, and I think
- 1:19:19Speaker 6: they still probably like him a little bit as well.
- 1:19:22Speaker 6: They're gonna probably keep what six corners? Right, So how
- 1:19:26Speaker 6: does it shake out right now? You know, I don't
- 1:19:29Speaker 6: know if.
- 1:19:30Speaker 11: They keep six because the issue is that the safety
- 1:19:33Speaker 11: group is so dang good, like you're you're gonna be
- 1:19:36Speaker 11: in a position where, Okay, Bud Clark, he can play
- 1:19:39Speaker 11: slot corner, Nick even Warri can play slot corner. We've
- 1:19:43Speaker 11: got a couple other guys in the safety group they
- 1:19:45Speaker 11: can play slack corner.
- 1:19:47Speaker 7: That's gonna push some of your corners off the board.
- 1:19:49Speaker 7: So that's what.
- 1:19:50Speaker 11: Makes this rookie development situation all the more interesting because
- 1:19:54Speaker 11: if Julian Neil, Andre Fuller, and Michael Dansby all have
- 1:19:59Speaker 11: really good trade camps, maybe one of those guys you
- 1:20:03Speaker 11: can slide under the practice squad, maybe two of them.
- 1:20:05Speaker 11: But you know, it starts to get kind of tricky
- 1:20:08Speaker 11: when you get into that position, especially you know, me
- 1:20:11Speaker 11: and my pridges got two years looking his deal, but
- 1:20:12Speaker 11: he's been inconsistent when he's had his opportunities. No Igbanogay,
- 1:20:16Speaker 11: who they signed a free agency, has had a very
- 1:20:20Speaker 11: up and down career, has never really played like a
- 1:20:22Speaker 11: first rounder as he was drafted by the Miami Dolphins.
- 1:20:26Speaker 11: I don't know that it's a guarantee that he is
- 1:20:29Speaker 11: on this roster when we start the season. Just because
- 1:20:32Speaker 11: you signed a one year free agent deal doesn't mean
- 1:20:34Speaker 11: that you're gonna make the team. There's been several examples
- 1:20:37Speaker 11: of that for the Seahawks. So I am really fascinating
- 1:20:40Speaker 11: see on his plays out. But right now, I think
- 1:20:43Speaker 11: five corners is probably what you're gonna see because of
- 1:20:46Speaker 11: the safety depth and there's just too much talent at
- 1:20:48Speaker 11: that position, too much versatility at that position Seattle. I
- 1:20:52Speaker 11: don't think he's gonna keep an extra corner over keeping
- 1:20:55Speaker 11: one of those safeties.
- 1:20:57Speaker 6: Well, just go, let's just go back through it. So
- 1:20:58Speaker 6: Witherspoon obviously, job Obviously. I think it's safe to say
- 1:21:03Speaker 6: that a guy that's the third round pick and Julian
- 1:21:05Speaker 6: Neil's gonna make the team. So there's three. You think
- 1:21:07Speaker 6: Pritchet's maybe so so could be a bubble. Guys that
- 1:21:11Speaker 6: you're saying.
- 1:21:12Speaker 11: Right now, I would have pritch It on the right
- 1:21:14Speaker 11: side of the bubble, and I'd probably it's tough.
- 1:21:18Speaker 7: It's tough because two.
- 1:21:19Speaker 11: Seventh round selections, you know you might be able to
- 1:21:21Speaker 11: get Fuller and Dan's be to your practice squad and
- 1:21:25Speaker 11: maybe Seattle feels Igbanogany being able to play in the
- 1:21:27Speaker 11: slot and stuff adds values to get special teams player.
- 1:21:31Speaker 11: I think it's Igbinoghany going up against those two other
- 1:21:34Speaker 11: rookies right.
- 1:21:35Speaker 7: Now for that fifth spot.
- 1:21:37Speaker 11: And that's assuming that Neamiah Pritchet takes a step forward,
- 1:21:40Speaker 11: because if he doesn't, then you could see a couple
- 1:21:43Speaker 11: of these rookies just jump over him potentially.
- 1:21:47Speaker 6: Let me, we won't know anything about the bigs until
- 1:21:51Speaker 6: we see the pads on. Like it, It's just it's hard.
- 1:21:54Speaker 6: I mentioned this the other day though, to Greg, and
- 1:21:57Speaker 6: I think maybe even to you. I'm and we're gonna
- 1:22:00Speaker 6: talk about Riley Mills in a second. You wrote about
- 1:22:02Speaker 6: Ryley Mills, but I want to talk about Devin Eastern
- 1:22:05Speaker 6: just body wise jumps out at you. Seventh round pick,
- 1:22:09Speaker 6: massive dude from Minnesota six five three twenty and frankly,
- 1:22:14Speaker 6: he looks bigger than that. Again, we won't know until
- 1:22:17Speaker 6: they put the pads on, but I'm I'm interested to
- 1:22:20Speaker 6: keep an eye on ninety seven through training camp in
- 1:22:22Speaker 6: the preseason.
- 1:22:24Speaker 11: Yeah, he was one of the guys at rookie mini camp.
- 1:22:27Speaker 7: I remember you and I on the sideline.
- 1:22:28Speaker 11: I was like, I just can't stop watching ninety seven
- 1:22:31Speaker 11: because he just looks so much bigger than everybody else,
- 1:22:34Speaker 11: and he just he's got such a unique build for
- 1:22:38Speaker 11: a guy that can play nose tackle, because typically nose
- 1:22:41Speaker 11: tackles don't have those super long arms. I mean, he
- 1:22:46Speaker 11: has more of that three tech or even big end
- 1:22:48Speaker 11: like Red Bryant type build, so you don't normally see
- 1:22:52Speaker 11: guys like that that are playing that nose tackle position.
- 1:22:55Speaker 11: He's a little taller than players that we usually see.
- 1:22:58Speaker 6: At that position.
- 1:23:00Speaker 11: I'm wondering if his best fit is going to be
- 1:23:02Speaker 11: as that early down three tech that can also give
- 1:23:04Speaker 11: you some nose reps because he has some really good
- 1:23:08Speaker 11: tape as a pass rusher at Minnesota.
- 1:23:11Speaker 7: There's clearly some explosiveness and bursts there. It's just a consistency.
- 1:23:15Speaker 11: Thing that is what held him back at Minnesota.
- 1:23:18Speaker 7: If they can.
- 1:23:19Speaker 11: Find a way to unlock more consistency with him with
- 1:23:22Speaker 11: this coaching staff, and you can get those really good
- 1:23:25Speaker 11: plays to happen more often, I mean, I think he's
- 1:23:28Speaker 11: a guy that's got a really high ceiling for a
- 1:23:31Speaker 11: seventh round selection.
- 1:23:33Speaker 6: Corbas Smith joining US Innerial see Spectrum Meneralcaspectrum dot Com.
- 1:23:36Speaker 6: Let's stay on the defense and I'm gonna switch over
- 1:23:38Speaker 6: the offense in a couple seconds. But I know that
- 1:23:41Speaker 6: Riley Mills spoke to everybody, and yes he had a
- 1:23:45Speaker 6: sack in the Super Bowl and played a little bit
- 1:23:48Speaker 6: before that. At the end of the season. For all
- 1:23:51Speaker 6: intents and purposes, Corbin Riley Mills was a It was
- 1:23:54Speaker 6: a red shirt ear for him. If we want to
- 1:23:55Speaker 6: use a college term. It's like gaining a whole, different,
- 1:23:58Speaker 6: whole nother draft pick. And I just have to wonder,
- 1:24:02Speaker 6: as we watch him out there moving around right now healthy,
- 1:24:06Speaker 6: where would he have been picked, because he was a
- 1:24:08Speaker 6: Day three guy for Seattle if he didn't blow his
- 1:24:11Speaker 6: ACL and Notre Dame. Where would this guy have been picked?
- 1:24:14Speaker 6: And what kind of impact do you think he could
- 1:24:16Speaker 6: make this year.
- 1:24:18Speaker 11: I'm on the record saying this several times last year
- 1:24:21Speaker 11: after Seattle made that selection. In fact, I think I
- 1:24:24Speaker 11: did it on this radio show in the draft room.
- 1:24:27Speaker 11: I had a second round great on him on my list.
- 1:24:30Speaker 11: When he tore his ACL in that game against Indiana,
- 1:24:33Speaker 11: and because of the timing of that, it dropped him
- 1:24:36Speaker 11: into the Day three range. I thought he was going
- 1:24:38Speaker 11: to go early in like the fourth round, because you
- 1:24:41Speaker 11: get to that point you can take chances on injured guys.
- 1:24:44Speaker 7: But I think if he was healthy and made it through.
- 1:24:47Speaker 11: That entire college football playoff run, he might have been
- 1:24:51Speaker 11: the difference maker to make it Notre Dame actually has
- 1:24:54Speaker 11: a chance to beat Ohio State in that game, because
- 1:24:56Speaker 11: that was a huge issue for them as upfront they
- 1:24:59Speaker 11: got pushed around a little bit. But he is a
- 1:25:02Speaker 11: really fun player. I loved the tape that he had
- 1:25:05Speaker 11: before that injury. Just he doesn't look like a guy
- 1:25:08Speaker 11: that would have a lot of athleticism, but he can
- 1:25:11Speaker 11: penetrate gaps.
- 1:25:12Speaker 7: He's incredibly powerful.
- 1:25:14Speaker 11: His game's all about punishing people, and he's got some
- 1:25:17Speaker 11: positional versatility up and down the line. So I just
- 1:25:21Speaker 11: I thought that was one of their biggest potential steals
- 1:25:23Speaker 11: last year, and I'm very bullish on him taking a
- 1:25:27Speaker 11: huge step forward this year having a normal offseason.
- 1:25:30Speaker 6: As a quick reminder fit to fans, as we've switched
- 1:25:33Speaker 6: over and talked about the offense, the defense is not
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: allowed to really defend much or put a play on
- 1:25:37Speaker 6: the ball in OTA's with that as a caveat, you
- 1:25:42Speaker 6: wrote about it, let's talk about it. Sam Darnold, Rashid Shiheat.
- 1:25:48Speaker 11: I tell you what, there are certain position groups that
- 1:25:52Speaker 11: you have more to work with when you're watching these
- 1:25:55Speaker 11: summer practices, and receiver is one of them because those
- 1:25:59Speaker 11: guys are out there catching passes, and obviously defenders are
- 1:26:02Speaker 11: not supposed to aggressively play the football. These practices are
- 1:26:06Speaker 11: made to highlight wide receivers and accentuate that, so you
- 1:26:10Speaker 11: have to always take that with a.
- 1:26:11Speaker 7: Grain of salt.
- 1:26:12Speaker 11: But watching the slugo route that Sam Darnold just threw
- 1:26:17Speaker 11: just perfectly placed onto Rashid Shaheed's hands for close to
- 1:26:22Speaker 11: a fifty yard gain in Wednesday's practice, that by itself,
- 1:26:26Speaker 11: that drew some ooze on the sideline, and you just
- 1:26:29Speaker 11: don't see that very much ota practice.
- 1:26:31Speaker 7: It was just a phenomenal throw.
- 1:26:32Speaker 11: And how many times last year where they just it
- 1:26:36Speaker 11: seemed like they were just a few inches away from
- 1:26:38Speaker 11: connecting on big plays. It looks like that chemistry has
- 1:26:43Speaker 11: been tightened up now and that they're on the same page.
- 1:26:46Speaker 11: That is scary for the rest of the NFC. If
- 1:26:49Speaker 11: he's he's gonna be catching a bunch of those downfield
- 1:26:52Speaker 11: passes now because They've got the timing down to go
- 1:26:54Speaker 11: with Jackson Smith and Jigba healthy, Tory Horton, Cooper Cup lookout.
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: That's all I'm gonna say.
- 1:27:00Speaker 11: I don't want to get the hype trained going too much,
- 1:27:02Speaker 11: but he looked so much different than last year catching
- 1:27:06Speaker 11: passes from Sam Darnold in those two practices.
- 1:27:09Speaker 6: Well, I think it's important Cormyn too, because as we
- 1:27:11Speaker 6: you know, everyone's and rightfully so looking around going oh
- 1:27:14Speaker 6: my gosh, look at the rams did Miles Garrett, holy cow?
- 1:27:17Speaker 6: You know and all that, and you know they add
- 1:27:19Speaker 6: the two corners in McDuffie and Watson and and that's
- 1:27:22Speaker 6: that's your biggest threat to going back to back. There
- 1:27:26Speaker 6: are wrinkles. We just talked about it. Riley Mills makes
- 1:27:28Speaker 6: this a better football team next year by him being
- 1:27:31Speaker 6: in the lineup and healthy, which he wasn't last season.
- 1:27:33Speaker 6: You're deeper there. I think Fowler could be an upgrade
- 1:27:37Speaker 6: in some ways from Boye Mafey as well. And then
- 1:27:40Speaker 6: you talk about a Rashid schi Heat who came here.
- 1:27:43Speaker 6: He definitely made his impact on special teams. We all
- 1:27:45Speaker 6: saw that, but in the passing game coming into an
- 1:27:49Speaker 6: offense that late in the year, he just wasn't much
- 1:27:51Speaker 6: of a factor in the passing game. But now he's
- 1:27:53Speaker 6: had a whole offseason, so let's let's kind of transition
- 1:27:55Speaker 6: into what you see we you know, I talked to
- 1:27:58Speaker 6: to Sundell this weekend, Arroyo and they, you know, talking
- 1:28:01Speaker 6: about the Flurry offense and they kindel I got the
- 1:28:03Speaker 6: impression from them it's just a lot of the same
- 1:28:07Speaker 6: that they had under Klint Kubiak, but there might be
- 1:28:09Speaker 6: some wrinkles as well. What what can you notice? What
- 1:28:12Speaker 6: do you hear? What are guys saying about that new offense,
- 1:28:14Speaker 6: the new offensive coordinator.
- 1:28:16Speaker 7: Yeah, that none of this should surprise anybody.
- 1:28:18Speaker 11: I mean, it's it is going to be not a
- 1:28:21Speaker 11: carbon copy, but it's gonna be very close to what
- 1:28:24Speaker 11: we saw last year. And and Brian Flurry, if he
- 1:28:27Speaker 11: came in and just was like, you know what, we're
- 1:28:29Speaker 11: gonna do a whole bunch of different stuff, Like especially
- 1:28:33Speaker 11: coming from the same system, the same coaching tree, that
- 1:28:36Speaker 11: would lead me scratching my head. So he's doing the
- 1:28:38Speaker 11: right thing. You know, the personnel that you have here,
- 1:28:41Speaker 11: you've seen what they can do in this system, this
- 1:28:44Speaker 11: style offense. So yeah, there's gonna be a few wrinkles.
- 1:28:47Speaker 11: I would expect that we're gonna be seeing it looked
- 1:28:50Speaker 11: like more condensed formations, even though we saw last year.
- 1:28:54Speaker 11: That's something that I'm anticipating. Maybe a bit more of
- 1:28:57Speaker 11: the three tight end looks with Brian Flurry's end background.
- 1:29:01Speaker 11: But they're gonna be still doing a ton of under center.
- 1:29:04Speaker 11: They're gonna be doing a lot of two back stuff.
- 1:29:06Speaker 11: We've gotten to see a lot of Robbie oots these
- 1:29:08Speaker 11: couple of days at OTAs, so I'm not expecting this
- 1:29:12Speaker 11: to just be a reinvent or, you know, let's reinvent
- 1:29:15Speaker 11: the wheel or whatever. They might just put some polish
- 1:29:18Speaker 11: on that wheel. It is going to be the same
- 1:29:19Speaker 11: style offense with a couple of new wrinkles added in,
- 1:29:23Speaker 11: but don't expect anything that is a wholesale different in
- 1:29:27Speaker 11: terms of the way they run things.
- 1:29:29Speaker 6: Yeah, I would, I would agree with you. I agree
- 1:29:31Speaker 6: with you, And there two more things I want to
- 1:29:32Speaker 6: hit on before let Corbyn go and then we'll be back.
- 1:29:35Speaker 6: He and I will be back out at mini camp
- 1:29:36Speaker 6: next week and kind of put a rap on things
- 1:29:39Speaker 6: until we get to training camp in July. Maybe we'll
- 1:29:42Speaker 6: give you a couple of weeks off, we'll see Corbyn.
- 1:29:43Speaker 6: We want to still keep selling those subscriptions Emeral we
- 1:29:46Speaker 6: gotta keep selling those Emerald Cities spectrum subscriptions along the way.
- 1:29:50Speaker 6: Let's first before we go out of out of the
- 1:29:52Speaker 6: family here, let's keep it in family. Derek Hall re
- 1:29:55Speaker 6: signs and it is going to remain a seahawk. Not
- 1:29:58Speaker 6: a surprise. When they let Mafey go. You kind of
- 1:30:00Speaker 6: almost felt some ways kind of Job Woolen, like, right,
- 1:30:03Speaker 6: you're gonna choose one of those two. You chose Job.
- 1:30:06Speaker 6: He's a little less expensive, and in this case, Derek
- 1:30:09Speaker 6: Hall as opposed to boy in Mafe thoughts.
- 1:30:13Speaker 11: This is exactly how I thought this was gonna play out.
- 1:30:16Speaker 7: And really there's a couple.
- 1:30:17Speaker 11: Of things that jump out that make this to me
- 1:30:20Speaker 11: easily the right decision. Watching the games last year, there
- 1:30:24Speaker 11: were just too many times where it's like where is
- 1:30:26Speaker 11: boy Mafe? You felt like you were playing where's Waldo?
- 1:30:29Speaker 11: Sometimes like where where's number fifty three? Is he actually playing?
- 1:30:33Speaker 11: And you didn't feel that with Derek Hall. Even if
- 1:30:35Speaker 11: he wasn't getting the stats, you felt him on the field.
- 1:30:40Speaker 11: He was a guy you could see chasing down plays.
- 1:30:42Speaker 11: You could see him harassing quarterbacks. He had eleven QB
- 1:30:45Speaker 11: hits compared to boy In Mafe's two, as just one
- 1:30:48Speaker 11: example of just the different productivity that these guys had.
- 1:30:52Speaker 11: And I just think his personality, the way he plays
- 1:30:55Speaker 11: the game, his tenacity, his physicality, his toughness setting the
- 1:30:59Speaker 11: edge was the best edge defending run defenders last year
- 1:31:04Speaker 11: in the NFL.
- 1:31:06Speaker 7: I just think that.
- 1:31:06Speaker 11: All that stuff added up, and the fact that he
- 1:31:08Speaker 11: was willing to come back to the price point that
- 1:31:10Speaker 11: he did too.
- 1:31:11Speaker 7: He's completely bought into the culture.
- 1:31:14Speaker 11: Everything just pointed to this being the guy that was
- 1:31:16Speaker 11: going to get the long term deal and not Boy Mafey.
- 1:31:20Speaker 6: Finally, we got a text, by the way from the
- 1:31:22Speaker 6: four two five, I'm so tired of hearing about Miles
- 1:31:24Speaker 6: Garrett this and Miles Garrett that already. Don't we have
- 1:31:26Speaker 6: thirteen other teams to talk about a game plan for.
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: There are other teams on the roster. They're not the Rams,
- 1:31:31Speaker 6: And if you're being honest, the Rams before the addition
- 1:31:35Speaker 6: of Miles Garrett, we're your biggest threat and now they
- 1:31:37Speaker 6: still are. Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions head coach of
- 1:31:40Speaker 6: the day, somebody asked him about Miles Garrett coming into
- 1:31:43Speaker 6: the NFC, and he's like, oh, I guess we'll just
- 1:31:44Speaker 6: go ahead and give them that they've won the title.
- 1:31:46Speaker 6: I guess they won the title alright. Like he's very sarcastic.
- 1:31:49Speaker 6: I talked to Sundell about it yesterday. He gave me
- 1:31:52Speaker 6: this look like, whatever, man, we don't get now. Part
- 1:31:54Speaker 6: of it is McDonald does an incredible job of whatever
- 1:31:57Speaker 6: it is. You know, we didn't care. We don't care
- 1:31:59Speaker 6: what you know? They internal and I believe that with them.
- 1:32:02Speaker 6: I think that's one of the beauties of how he
- 1:32:04Speaker 6: coaches his team and how they approach things. But there's
- 1:32:07Speaker 6: no getting around the fact that Miles Garrett's in La Rams.
- 1:32:09Speaker 6: So Corbyn, what are your thoughts on what the Rams
- 1:32:13Speaker 6: now have done?
- 1:32:16Speaker 11: Obviously, Miles Garrett is a future first battlet Hall of Famer,
- 1:32:19Speaker 11: an incredible, spectacular player.
- 1:32:21Speaker 7: He is going to take them to another level.
- 1:32:25Speaker 11: I still think that Trent McDuffie, that addition is the
- 1:32:28Speaker 11: biggest game changer for them though, because of who he
- 1:32:31Speaker 11: is replacing. That was the biggest weakness on the Rams
- 1:32:34Speaker 11: roster last year. Was there outside corners? The Seahawks capitalized
- 1:32:38Speaker 11: on it, winning those games late in the season and
- 1:32:41Speaker 11: in the playoffs, and they've completely overhauled that. I just
- 1:32:44Speaker 11: think the upgrade that they made there as great as
- 1:32:48Speaker 11: Miles Garrett is, Jared Vers is a really good player.
- 1:32:52Speaker 11: He's not quite that level of Miles Garrett, but you
- 1:32:54Speaker 11: had to give Jared Verse up. I think that the
- 1:32:58Speaker 11: corner edition of Trent mcguffie is the one that is
- 1:33:02Speaker 11: the one that moves the needle most for the Rams
- 1:33:04Speaker 11: to be able to leap frog the Seahawks, and certainly
- 1:33:07Speaker 11: Miles Garrett is a very very.
- 1:33:08Speaker 7: Nice cherry to put on top.
- 1:33:10Speaker 11: I just think that corner position was their biggest weakness
- 1:33:14Speaker 11: and that was the biggest addition they made, in my opinion.
- 1:33:17Speaker 6: Emerald City Spectrum, tell people about what you got going
- 1:33:20Speaker 6: on the website, how they should subscribe and corbyin frankly,
- 1:33:22Speaker 6: why they should subscribe. If you're listening right now, you're
- 1:33:25Speaker 6: a Seattle sports fan, So why should they subscribe?
- 1:33:28Speaker 11: Look, if you want Seattle sports, no, but I say this,
- 1:33:32Speaker 11: you know this is confident. This is not me, you know,
- 1:33:35Speaker 11: trying to toot our horns too much. But like, if
- 1:33:38Speaker 11: you want Seattle sports, coverage all the time. Nobody does
- 1:33:42Speaker 11: it better than Emerald City Spectrum. Look literally today we've
- 1:33:45Speaker 11: got rain FC, We've got Seahawks, we've got Gonzaga. We
- 1:33:49Speaker 11: are constantly dishing out stuff for all the teams in
- 1:33:52Speaker 11: the region, pro and college. And it's just six dollars
- 1:33:56Speaker 11: a month. You're paying fifty cents a team per month
- 1:34:00Speaker 11: for great coverage. That is legitimate journalism. It's not AI.
- 1:34:04Speaker 7: All of our writers are real people. That's a good
- 1:34:07Speaker 7: starting point.

- 1:36:31Speaker 2: So enjoying that. God, they do a great job, don't they.
- 1:36:36Speaker 6: They do. You're referring to John Foreselan and Eddie old
- 1:36:39Speaker 6: check Ed, Zoe and Johnny on the call and Sports
- 1:36:42Speaker 6: USA Network, which we carry. We'll have the game three tomorrow.
- 1:36:45Speaker 6: We had it on the station yesterday. And I've really
- 1:36:48Speaker 6: gotten to the.
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: Point Ian where I put my app on my computer audio,
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I can pop it on
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: during that time and then I sink my TV to
- 1:37:01Speaker 1: get to that point. And so I hear Eddie and
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: John and John on the call while I'm watching the game.
- 1:37:07Speaker 6: It's just it's so much fun listening to that. I
- 1:37:10Speaker 6: listen Johnny doesn't. Johnny calls a game better anybody in
- 1:37:12Speaker 6: the world, uh, in my opinion, And I agree. And
- 1:37:16Speaker 6: then you add ed Zo to the mix. And I mean,
- 1:37:19Speaker 6: I can tell you the most fun I've had in
- 1:37:20Speaker 6: broadcasting in a long time was the six or seven
- 1:37:25Speaker 6: games that I did with him this year filling in
- 1:37:27Speaker 6: for john on the Crack and Hockey Network. He's just
- 1:37:31Speaker 6: there's only one. I'm just gonna say, there's only one
- 1:37:34Speaker 6: Eddie O. It's true, there's only one. And he plays
- 1:37:37Speaker 6: it a little bit more button down on the tn
- 1:37:40Speaker 6: T broadcast when he's with like when he's with Kenny Albert,
- 1:37:43Speaker 6: when he's with Johnny, he has a little more fun.
- 1:37:46Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true.
- 1:37:47Speaker 6: And I still I don't understand why Foresel is not
- 1:37:50Speaker 6: their number one guy. I just don't think that. But
- 1:37:53Speaker 6: when they're together like Kenny Johnny and yeah, yeah, those
- 1:37:58Speaker 6: guys doing those guys doing the game on radio on
- 1:38:01Speaker 6: our sin of all things, which is even better. I'm
- 1:38:03Speaker 6: glad we're carying him. Has been fun and so and
- 1:38:05Speaker 6: if you ever wonder what Eddie old, that's who he is.
- 1:38:08Speaker 6: It's like a hurricane. He blows into the booth. It's
- 1:38:11Speaker 6: it's talking the whole time, chirping the crew guys upstairs,
- 1:38:16Speaker 6: our stage manager Robbie, who's like ninety five years old,
- 1:38:19Speaker 6: and yelling. They started yelling at each other and everything
- 1:38:22Speaker 6: you hear on television or radio with Edzoe that I
- 1:38:26Speaker 6: can tell you for a fact. That's it. Like I'm
- 1:38:28Speaker 6: sitting there trying to prep. Okay, I gotta do the game.
- 1:38:30Speaker 6: This is stressful. Here we go. What do you think about?
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: Like?
- 1:38:33Speaker 6: He's he does like he you know, he bets the ponies.
- 1:38:36Speaker 6: He was on This Morning with with Ashley and Greg.
- 1:38:38Speaker 6: He's part of the Belmont coverage for for the for
- 1:38:42Speaker 6: NBC right, or the Triple Count coverage from the NBC right.
- 1:38:45Speaker 6: But he's like, what do you think about Seahawks. I'm like, dude,
- 1:38:47Speaker 6: can we got to focus here? I got to see
- 1:38:49Speaker 6: how we got a tracking game? What do you know
- 1:38:51Speaker 6: about sam Garld? Dude? Relax anyway, He's fun, He's I
- 1:38:55Speaker 6: love the I love the guy to death. He's absolutely
- 1:38:57Speaker 6: fantastic ian. Let's see H two O six I and
- 1:39:02Speaker 6: we didn't get your call. Coach. You may not like
- 1:39:05Speaker 6: sign situation. You're smart to challenge or not to challenge.
- 1:39:08Speaker 6: So I was at a continuous playing a goal for
- 1:39:09Speaker 6: the nights or is it called no goal? You make
- 1:39:12Speaker 6: the call. I think the key last night with you know,
- 1:39:15Speaker 6: replaying in hockey is different than other replays. Can you
- 1:39:19Speaker 6: imagine if in the NFL or turning through the challenge
- 1:39:21Speaker 6: flag if you were unsuccessful, if it was a penalty, yeah,
- 1:39:25Speaker 6: like in a significant penalty, that would be pretty crazy.
- 1:39:28Speaker 6: I'd almost like to see that game penalty. Literally, I'd
- 1:39:31Speaker 6: like to almost see it tried in the preseason or.
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: Something that would be kind of fun.
- 1:39:34Speaker 1: Yeah, instead of just getting a time out taken away
- 1:39:36Speaker 1: because you're basically like taking a timeout anyway, because you
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: bring your guys over to the sideline right.
- 1:39:41Speaker 6: Right, and like and even in the NBA, like if
- 1:39:44Speaker 6: you're wrong, it should like if you had to give
- 1:39:46Speaker 6: the other team two.
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: Free throws, yes, right, I like that.
- 1:39:50Speaker 6: Or in college troops when they do that at the
- 1:39:52Speaker 6: end of game. Like, I I think there should be
- 1:39:55Speaker 6: a little bit of a penalty because I think there's
- 1:39:57Speaker 6: an art. So when the guys ask me what I think,
- 1:39:58Speaker 6: I probably wouldn't challeng yeah, because I think the referee
- 1:40:02Speaker 6: lost sight of it and the bailout was the goaltender interference,
- 1:40:05Speaker 6: but I think he lost sight of it. The difference is,
- 1:40:08Speaker 6: and here's here's like like you watch when you watch
- 1:40:11Speaker 6: a Mariner game, and if you know are they going
- 1:40:14Speaker 6: to challenge? They look to Dan and the camera cuts
- 1:40:17Speaker 6: to Dan Wilson in the thing and he's he looks
- 1:40:19Speaker 6: back and his video guy is instantaneously like yes or no,
- 1:40:23Speaker 6: should we challenge? And really, if it's fifty to fifty,
- 1:40:26Speaker 6: they'll challenge a lot of times. Like they're not a
- 1:40:28Speaker 6: hundred They're not trying to be one hundred percent in
- 1:40:30Speaker 6: the game. You don't right get in the In the NHL,
- 1:40:33Speaker 6: it's different. You have guys in a video room that
- 1:40:37Speaker 6: depending on if you're at home, they have a dedicated
- 1:40:39Speaker 6: room at climate plays for the home team. The visitors
- 1:40:40Speaker 6: are like in the locker room. They have this whole
- 1:40:42Speaker 6: video set up and they're watching the game as it
- 1:40:44Speaker 6: goes on, and if they think there's like a possibility
- 1:40:46Speaker 6: of an offside, they marked the they mark the tape
- 1:40:48Speaker 6: and they go back instantly. They've got to make a
- 1:40:51Speaker 6: decision within like twenty seconds. I think what happened last
- 1:40:55Speaker 6: night towards is new. He doesn't know these guys they might.
- 1:40:59Speaker 6: For all we know, they may have said, don't challenge it,
- 1:41:02Speaker 6: and he may have just said, screw it, I'm gonna
- 1:41:03Speaker 6: challenge it. Because I can tell you with with Lane specifically,
- 1:41:07Speaker 6: and it went through Jessica Campbell, he would he trusted
- 1:41:11Speaker 6: those and they were right like a lot Alison Allison
- 1:41:13Speaker 6: kept track of it. I think they might have been
- 1:41:15Speaker 6: wrong twice all year, right if that? Yeah?
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: And usually like with the hockey video people, it's pretty
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: like because of the stakes, right, if you lose, if
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: you're giving up.
- 1:41:23Speaker 6: A two minute minor, how would I think that'd be fun?
- 1:41:26Speaker 6: In the NFL?
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: That would be kind of fun. Throw like hey, five
- 1:41:30Speaker 3: yard penalty lay game?
- 1:41:31Speaker 6: Just something?
- 1:41:32Speaker 7: Right?
- 1:41:33Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:41:33Speaker 6: Loss it down right? I mean like like here's you
- 1:41:38Speaker 6: know would have hated that as Pete because Pete challenged
- 1:41:41Speaker 6: the most. Pete challenged the most random things.
- 1:41:45Speaker 3: Because he listened to his players. It's like, oh, challenge
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: that challenge that, yeah.
- 1:41:49Speaker 6: And he'd be challenging like, well, Pete, it's gonna make
- 1:41:52Speaker 6: the difference of three yards? What do we do? Like
- 1:41:54Speaker 6: that became a running joke in the press bots, like
- 1:41:56Speaker 6: when's pe gonna throw the challenge? Like on something random?
- 1:42:00Speaker 6: It doesn't matter. But if you put that in there,
- 1:42:03Speaker 6: I think that would make for a better game the
- 1:42:06Speaker 6: more I think it, Like in baseball, it's limited. I
- 1:42:09Speaker 6: don't think you can really do that in baseball. I
- 1:42:11Speaker 6: mean there's already enough with like if you're not the
- 1:42:13Speaker 6: batter's box, it's an automatic ball or strike or whatever
- 1:42:15Speaker 6: the hell it is. But I think in foot basketball
- 1:42:18Speaker 6: would be the one to do it because how many
- 1:42:20Speaker 6: times you see in a basketball game. Hell, you'll see
- 1:42:22Speaker 6: it tonight. Yeah, and guys don't even know the rules,
- 1:42:25Speaker 6: they'll like automatically put their arms and the troll their fingers.
- 1:42:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:42:28Speaker 3: Yeah, challenge that, challenge that.
- 1:42:29Speaker 6: Yeah, like, hey, let's look at review, look at review, Like,
- 1:42:31Speaker 6: come on, man, what you're wasting our time? It doesn't stop,
- 1:42:36Speaker 6: stop wasting our time? All right? What else we got?
- 1:42:38Speaker 6: Four nine, four, five, one? Oh, this is a good one.
- 1:42:41Speaker 6: I'll end with the Keith Miller Is there another good one?
- 1:42:44Speaker 3: No? No, you're good, you got it?
- 1:42:45Speaker 6: Okay. Keith Miller talking about Russ and his new gig,
- 1:42:50Speaker 6: can't wait to come back from a commercial and James Brown,
- 1:42:53Speaker 6: Cower and Russ are all doing high knees.
- 1:42:56Speaker 1: Oh my god, so true. Though it's so good.
- 1:43:02Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, Yeah, that would be good.
- 1:43:09Speaker 6: Russ is gonna do Here's I'm gonna keep saying this
- 1:43:12Speaker 6: until we see him. I think he's gonna do well.
- 1:43:15Speaker 6: I think he'll do a really good job. If he
- 1:43:17Speaker 6: allows himself to be human, right, there will be things
- 1:43:21Speaker 6: he does and says that you just cringe out that
- 1:43:25Speaker 6: will happen.
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: You know what I'm kind of looking forward to Ian
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: is the rest of the country getting the heavy Russell
- 1:43:32Speaker 1: Wilson experience instead of just the watching him in primetime games,
- 1:43:36Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, like the rust that
- 1:43:39Speaker 1: we had to consume and watch whether that's good or bad,
- 1:43:43Speaker 1: for ten years, you know what I mean? Like the
- 1:43:45Speaker 1: practice quips, there's no time to sleep, all that kind
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: of stuff. It's just I can't wait for the rest
- 1:43:51Speaker 1: of the country to experience that.
- 1:43:52Speaker 6: He drops into separations, the preparation.
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: Oh my god, yes.
- 1:43:56Speaker 6: Hey, listen, the fields only fifty three and thirty yards wide.
- 1:44:00Speaker 3: He's six inches betweenty years again.
- 1:44:02Speaker 6: Oh my god. I hope he does that. I hope
- 1:44:04Speaker 6: he does that. Bill Cower's like, oh, what, I don't know,
- 1:44:08Speaker 6: shitty three and third, how mine in the Hall of Fame. Well,
- 1:44:10Speaker 6: that's right on my TV. That's right, coach Steelers, I'm
- 1:44:12Speaker 6: on TV. Okay, we're good. We're good for the week.
- 1:44:16Speaker 6: We're good for the week. We're gonna I think this

- 1:44:26Speaker 3: He's with that stuff right, Yes, he loves it.
- 1:44:28Speaker 6: All right, we'll do that next.
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: Ian Jess and Rejection and Ferris Felts here just got
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: done something. But I could have Howard Chilten everywhere, whatever
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: the hell it was. You know, it's pretty impressive to
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: be both a successful businessman and the failure failure failure.
- 1:44:45Speaker 11: But O Sulti likes to live by the motto per
- 1:44:46Speaker 11: kannalost does.
- 1:44:47Speaker 7: I did not like it.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: I did not enjoy it. Sounders at seven.
- 1:44:50Speaker 6: Thirty, Man, I don't know who that dude is. So Jackson,

- 1:45:03Speaker 6: Are you positive?
- 1:45:04Speaker 4: I mean, what's what's great about that is that it

- 1:45:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:45:31Speaker 6: Well you got did you have to insert? You have
- 1:45:33Speaker 6: to insert random movie reference?
- 1:45:36Speaker 4: That's gonna be the easy part.
- 1:45:37Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like three people know, uh. And the fact
- 1:45:43Speaker 6: that that guy can't remember like yesterday's food or meal
- 1:45:47Speaker 6: or where he was, but he can remember every line
- 1:45:49Speaker 6: from every movie in the history of man.
- 1:45:51Speaker 4: Does anybody remember Invaders from Mars?
- 1:45:54Speaker 6: Remember he said this? And I'm like red that line.

- 1:46:31Speaker 4: without softy, so they don't know that I actually can
- 1:46:34Speaker 4: speak like this without going one hundred miles power. But
- 1:46:37Speaker 4: but when you work with that man, it's true. You
- 1:46:39Speaker 4: have to go fast to fit everything in before he
- 1:46:42Speaker 4: interrupts you.
- 1:46:42Speaker 6: You know what It's like. It's like the horse race,
- 1:46:45Speaker 6: Like he's the horse that sets the pace, and so
- 1:46:47Speaker 6: everyone is going right, like when the horse sets the pace. Yeah,

- 1:47:58Speaker 6: because I've been to the other team. But i've been
- 1:48:00Speaker 6: to the other two, Okay, so that's that's that's just
- 1:48:02Speaker 6: a personal preference. I haven't come in to a CFP final,
- 1:48:06Speaker 6: but I love college football. I've been to the other two,
- 1:48:07Speaker 6: and I don't like watching basketball in a stadium. I
- 1:48:09Speaker 6: think it's awful. Yeah, and that's basketball, you know. And
- 1:48:13Speaker 6: I've Super Bowl, been there, done that. I'm good. World
- 1:48:16Speaker 6: Cup Final, Monica, easy, World Cup Final. I auto racing,

- 1:48:24Speaker 6: a road race where you can't see everything.
- 1:48:25Speaker 4: Well, see, the thing with that is it's more than
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: just the race, right exactly. You can enjoy the festivities
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: of the celebrities and the beauty. It's a full fashion show.
- 1:48:35Speaker 6: You know, I'm a gorgeous man, but I'm not pretty
- 1:48:38Speaker 6: that person.
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: A silver Fox.

- 1:48:44Speaker 6: to go to Monaco Masters final round. World Series Game seven.
- 1:48:48Speaker 6: I'm gonna go again World Series Game seven, even though
- 1:48:50Speaker 6: I'm a huge golf guy. You guys know that. You
- 1:48:52Speaker 6: know I love the Masters. Every year it's like I
- 1:48:53Speaker 6: need to watch the final round. It's always like I've
- 1:48:56Speaker 6: just carve that out. Golf kind of like racing. Like
- 1:49:00Speaker 6: a racing you can't see a lot, right, you just
- 1:49:02Speaker 6: can't see a lot, so it's hard to track it.
- 1:49:04Speaker 6: So I'm gonna go World Series Game seven. H Stanley
- 1:49:08Speaker 6: Cup Final game with Stanley Cup fun. Yeah, so I'll go.
- 1:49:10Speaker 6: So then I'll go Stanley Cup Final. I mean, there's
- 1:49:12Speaker 6: the emotion in an NHL rink is different.
- 1:49:16Speaker 4: It's just different, and anything any the whole game could
- 1:49:19Speaker 4: flip in an instant.
- 1:49:20Speaker 6: NBA Game seven, it can be a twenty five point
- 1:49:22Speaker 6: game in halftime and then it flips in the final
- 1:49:24Speaker 6: five minutes. Like that's not compelling, I mean compared to
- 1:49:27Speaker 6: like one goal can make the difference once safe can
- 1:49:29Speaker 6: make the difference. So World Series Game seven, I'll go
- 1:49:31Speaker 6: Stanley Cup to get to the finals up on top
- 1:49:37Speaker 6: college football playoff, World Cup, I'll go World Cup. And
- 1:49:40Speaker 6: I mean, depending on where the World Cup is.

- 1:49:54Speaker 6: World Cup is. Yeah, I Stanley Cup game be a push,
- 1:49:59Speaker 6: be hard, I'll say World Cup. If it's domestic, I
