1:18
Speaker 1: to love on that we don't get to and we
1:21
Speaker 1: don't have like a day in the middle of the
1:22
Speaker 1: week to just go there and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
1:26

1:38
Speaker 1: of fever about it too. Travis kind of really want
1:40
Speaker 1: to do it right now. I might not even make

1:45
Speaker 1: time anybody has said that. All right, Well, Travis Moger
1:49
Speaker 1: filming in for Ashley. We got Greg Bell here in
1:52
Speaker 1: two minutes. Let me get to your headlines. They're brought
1:54
Speaker 1: to you by Delicious frostbrewed Cores, Light Whenever and out
1:58
Speaker 1: Choose Chill. I do want to let you know Tacoma
2:01
Speaker 1: Rainiers Friday today. I want to mention it at least once.
2:04
Speaker 1: I'll try to mention a few other times, but soft
2:07
Speaker 1: He'll be broadcasting from Tacoma today. I'll be broadcasting from Tacoma.
2:11
Speaker 1: I'll be doing the game with Riley pay tonight. A
2:14
Speaker 1: chance to put eyeballs on Las Montes for the first time.
2:17
Speaker 1: I don't know if Michael Arroyo is going to be
2:20
Speaker 1: there tonight. H Yeah, use that as a cliffhanger. But
2:26
Speaker 1: I'm watching JP Crawford have a hard time getting on
2:29
Speaker 1: the baseball field, and I can't watch West and Wilson
2:32
Speaker 1: play third base anymore. So it seems to me like
2:36
Speaker 1: maybe they were just waiting to return home to activate
2:39
Speaker 1: Michael Arroyo, one of their top prospects. But we shall see.
2:43
Speaker 1: Three days away from the MLB trading deadline, rumors heating
2:47
Speaker 1: up on that front. Regarding Emerson Hancock. Jeff Passon has said,
2:51
Speaker 1: what about the Saint Louis Cardinals, So we'll talk more
2:53
Speaker 1: about that a little bit later on in the show
2:55
Speaker 1: later this hour. As a matter of fact, San Francisco
2:58
Speaker 1: Giants and Elliott Ramos keep coming up this morning as well.
3:01
Speaker 1: That may be gaining some steam. You never know what
3:04
Speaker 1: to believe, but that's part of the fun, half of
3:06
Speaker 1: the fun of the Major League Baseball trading deadline. To
3:09
Speaker 1: just kind of mull over some rumors that are out there.
3:12
Speaker 1: Team lost to the Dodgers last night, six to two,
3:15
Speaker 1: the final score. They've dropped four games under five hundred
3:18
Speaker 1: on the season, two and a half games out in
3:20
Speaker 1: the American League West, Brian Wo's road woes continue, even
3:24
Speaker 1: though I thought he was terrific for the most part,
3:26
Speaker 1: but got a couple guys on base, a bad defensive play,
3:31
Speaker 1: didn't get a call on a strike three, and then
3:34
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, he gives up a big
3:35
Speaker 1: hit that drives in not just a run, but runs
3:38
Speaker 1: in two separate innings. But man Max Munts he doesn't
3:41
Speaker 1: want to face Brian Wo anytime soon. Freddie Freeman doesn't
3:44
Speaker 1: want to face Brian Wo anytime soon. I mean, for
3:46
Speaker 1: the most part, he was fantastic, but he still ends
3:49
Speaker 1: up giving up five runs and five innings, So you
3:52
Speaker 1: can't describe that outing as fantastic, and it certainly hurts
3:56
Speaker 1: that road eer even more. Mariners lou and they've got
4:00
Speaker 1: to turn it around immediately, they really do. They've got
4:03
Speaker 1: the Twins tonight for three games. It will be Bryce
4:06
Speaker 1: Miller versus Zebbie Matthews first pitch at seven ten, Sounders
4:10
Speaker 1: Timbers tomorrow at seven forty five. Sounders need to win
4:14
Speaker 1: Storm Dream tonight at four point thirty. And of course,
4:17
Speaker 1: training camp going on right here at the Virginia Mason
4:21
Speaker 1: Athletics Center Week one ends today and we got a
4:25
Speaker 1: lot to discuss with our Seahawks insider Greg Bell. So
4:28
Speaker 1: let's get.
4:28
Speaker 2: Going as part of our continuing NFL coverage for the
4:32
Speaker 2: twelfth Man. This is twelfth Man News, part of Chuck's
4:36

4:53
Speaker 1: Also, and Greg will understand that I got to take
4:56
Speaker 1: time to do this. Dollar is your keyword for bonus
4:59
Speaker 1: bucks entered at ninety three three khr. Dot Com used
5:03
Speaker 1: in a sentence, I will give Greg Bell an extra
5:06
Speaker 1: dollar for his time here this morning. It's just that
5:10
Speaker 1: big hearted that way.
5:11
Speaker 3: Hi GREGI good morning. You chased everyone away?
5:17
Speaker 1: I did? Yeah, Yeah, it's just me. I was sick
5:19
Speaker 1: of Millon. You know, it was time to tell him
5:23
Speaker 1: to hit the bricks. You know I just mentioned in
5:32
Speaker 1: the last segment. I don't know if you heard it,
5:34
Speaker 1: but I mean, Hugh is just man. That guy's got
5:37
Speaker 1: cartoon hearts floating around his head. For Mike McDonald, the
5:40
Speaker 1: football coach. I do this segment talk of camp, you know,
5:44
Speaker 1: and you know, we try to find out who's creating
5:47
Speaker 1: the buzz, but it's usually a player. It's a segment
5:50
Speaker 1: usually reserved for players, and usually players that are a
5:53
Speaker 1: little bit under the radar. Who's creating buzz that wouldn't
5:56
Speaker 1: normally create buzz. But I just mentioned in the last segment,
5:59
Speaker 1: I just don't think there's any doubt that it's Mike McDonald.
6:02
Speaker 1: I think Mike. Every conversation I have with media members,
6:06
Speaker 1: organizational members, players, co workers, whatever, it always ends up
6:11
Speaker 1: talking about how great Mike McDonald is and how great
6:14
Speaker 1: that this organization, the Great Future has under him. Would
6:18
Speaker 1: you disagree with that?
6:19
Speaker 4: Is?
6:19
Speaker 1: Does he dominate the conversation here this.
6:21
Speaker 3: Week, Well, he's dominated the conversation for the last twelve
6:26
Speaker 3: months because remember he's never been a head coach before. Yeah,
6:30
Speaker 3: so this is all the first time. None of what
6:32
Speaker 3: he's done he's proven to have succeeded in before this.
6:36
Speaker 3: So there was when he first got here, the Leonard
6:41
Speaker 3: Williams is on the team, We're looking at him like, okay,
6:44
Speaker 3: what's this guy got? And even though they didn't make
6:46
Speaker 3: the playoffs, the first year they were ten and seven,
6:49
Speaker 3: the defense absolutely reversed itself. Mid seed. They couldn't tackle
6:53
Speaker 3: anybody in the run game when they had Dotson and
6:56
Speaker 3: Baker as their insight linebackers, and McDonald tolls Snyder. Get
7:01
Speaker 3: rid of these guys mid season, get me a new
7:03
Speaker 3: middle linebacker, and I want them to be Ernest Jones.
7:06
Speaker 3: And ever since then they have transformed to be the
7:09
Speaker 3: best defense in the NFL. And after that, the Leonard
7:13
Speaker 3: Williams is on the team, are right, this guy is
7:15
Speaker 3: what he's doing. And then the culture kicked in after that.
7:19
Speaker 3: The first year was to establish everything and prove that
7:22
Speaker 3: he knew what he was doing, and the defense rebounding
7:24
Speaker 3: did that, even though they didn't make the playoffs because
7:26
Speaker 3: the tiebreaker they lost to the Rams. That was the
7:31
Speaker 3: proving delay, the foundation, and then it was the culture stuff.
7:34
Speaker 3: And I say stuff, and that's en capsulating a lot
7:37
Speaker 3: of things that Mike McDonald does. And now he's reinventing
7:42
Speaker 3: himself again. And we talked, I think earlier this week
7:44
Speaker 3: about what a big challenge it is for a thirty
7:46
Speaker 3: nine year old first time head coach to get a
7:50
Speaker 3: ramp back up a Super Bowl champion team. They reached
7:53
Speaker 3: the top, probably earlier than he could have even imagined
7:57
Speaker 3: in his program. But now what what's the encore? And
8:00
Speaker 3: so he's doing new messaging and he's trying new ways,
8:03
Speaker 3: and he's embracing this hard knock and telling him be yourselves.
8:07
Speaker 3: We want the football world to see us as us.
8:12
Speaker 3: And now he doesn't want to reveal secrets in doing that,
8:15
Speaker 3: but he really is. It's fun to watch from a
8:19
Speaker 3: leadership perspective, and I've studied leadership and been an army
8:22
Speaker 3: officer and knows some of the principles he's instilling. It's
8:25
Speaker 3: fun to watch and fascinating to watch a first time
8:28
Speaker 3: head coach reinvent himself and change his messaging three years in.
8:34
Speaker 3: I mean, let's face it, Pete Carroll didn't change his
8:36
Speaker 3: messaging for about twelve years, and people tune them out.
8:40
Speaker 3: It worked for the younger guys, but the ones that
8:42
Speaker 3: had been here and heard it for years and years
8:45
Speaker 3: started to tune them out. McDonald has reinventing himself in
8:48
Speaker 3: year three and it's working. So we'll see if it
8:51
Speaker 3: works in the games, but surably, culture wise, it's working.
8:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everybody's trusting that it's working, and it's
8:57
Speaker 1: going to work. Greg Bell with us here this morning.
9:00
Speaker 1: Yesterday was full pads, which is kind of funny because
9:02
Speaker 1: pads are so small now, and the short and the
9:05
Speaker 1: pants that really looked like shorts on a lot of
9:08
Speaker 1: a lot of players. I'm not sure it looks like
9:10
Speaker 1: full pads out there on a practice field anymore. But
9:15
Speaker 1: it was first day in full pads. Mike McDonald seemed
9:18
Speaker 1: to think everything went great. You wrote it was idyllic.
9:22
Speaker 3: What do you mean by that, Well, it's idyllic because
9:26
Speaker 3: one McDonald just was effusive on the effort, the execution.
9:30
Speaker 3: He doesn't always do that. He sometimes said we got
9:33
Speaker 3: to be better, in fact, in practice before the day off,
9:36
Speaker 3: the one on practice on Tuesday, he said, we got
9:38
Speaker 3: to finish practice better. We were way too sloppy. Yesterday
9:41
Speaker 3: he was very pleased. He said he was everyone in
9:45
Speaker 3: every position group. He liked the work that they put in.
9:49
Speaker 3: He liked the consistency of the execution of what the
9:52
Speaker 3: coaches and the drills intended to be. Plus, it was
9:55
Speaker 3: seventy five degrees. You were there. It was seventy five degrees.
9:58
Speaker 3: Blue sky Son Off League Eagles flying over with their
10:03
Speaker 3: nests next to the practice field and then the Blue
10:05
Speaker 3: Angels are flying over. I mean, I've been to a
10:08
Speaker 3: few more than a few NFL training camps. This has
10:12
Speaker 3: to be one of the top one or two or
10:14
Speaker 3: three settings for on top of the weather being so
10:18
Speaker 3: moderate compared to the rest of the country in July
10:20
Speaker 3: and August. And McDonald meant all of that when he
10:23
Speaker 3: was talking about that. What else stated idyllic was the
10:27
Speaker 3: offense of the defensive line play was really really competitive
10:30
Speaker 3: in the past blocking for instance, Riley Mills. We've talked
10:35
Speaker 3: about Riley Mills, and that was my talk of the
10:37
Speaker 3: camp when you asked me the other day. And now
10:39
Speaker 3: that he's healthy, a chance to really be an impact
10:42
Speaker 3: guy on the entire season on the defensive line. His
10:46
Speaker 3: first rap against Anthony Bradford, he beat him, the starting
10:49
Speaker 3: right guard, a second year rotational defensive lineman, soundly beat
10:54
Speaker 3: him with an inside move. But then the second time,
10:57
Speaker 3: Riley Mills tried an outside spin move and actually disengage
11:00
Speaker 3: them and spun and Bradford, who's not known for his
11:03
Speaker 3: speed and agility, quickly got lateral and locked him. And
11:09
Speaker 3: then the third one they don't usually do three it's
11:11
Speaker 3: usually two back to back, but the coaches liked the
11:14
Speaker 3: matchup so much they did a third one and it
11:16
Speaker 3: pretty much was a draw. It was that kind of
11:19
Speaker 3: competitiveness on day one. On a morning, the first morning
11:23
Speaker 3: practice after the day off, that McDonald was talking about
11:27
Speaker 3: Sam Donald again showing really decisiveness. I wrote in the
11:32
Speaker 3: news tribute this morning that he's now a general. He's
11:35
Speaker 3: not a captain or commander of this offensive team. He's
11:38
Speaker 3: a general. He's got a Super Bowl, he's got all
11:41
Speaker 3: the ribbons and qualifications as a general officer. He's in charge,
11:46
Speaker 3: and he's throwing and acting decisively. He's seeing a lot
11:50
Speaker 3: quarterbacks between one and two year one and we are
11:52
Speaker 3: two with the team. I saw it with Russell Wilson.
11:55
Speaker 3: I saw it when Gino Smith took over his second year.
11:58
Speaker 3: You know, now, Sam Donald, he knows the names of
12:01
Speaker 3: the cooks, he knows the shortcuts to the vMac, he
12:05
Speaker 3: knows the ins and outs of being a Seahawks and
12:08
Speaker 3: just being around Seattle that he didn't know this time
12:10
Speaker 3: last year. He's in complete command and it shows on
12:13
Speaker 3: the field.
12:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, he knows Dinos has great tots. I mean, yeah,
12:18
Speaker 1: he's got the lay of the land right now. Greg
12:20
Speaker 1: Bell is with US Seahawks Insider, and of course Greg
12:23
Speaker 1: does his show from ten to twelve, and it is
12:25
Speaker 1: quite impressive to watch it because Greg does his show
12:29
Speaker 1: and he's got training camp going on and that's his
12:32
Speaker 1: you know, and he's covering the beat, and so for
12:35
Speaker 1: him to still be keeping up to date with everything
12:39
Speaker 1: out there on the practice field, why he's doing his
12:42
Speaker 1: radio show is quite the feat. I can't multitask at all,
12:45
Speaker 1: so I set back impressed. So I don't know if
12:48
Speaker 1: you had a chance to see this, but you brought
12:50
Speaker 1: up Riley Mills and those one on one workouts. Did
12:54
Speaker 1: you see Murphy just abuse Ray's abel?
13:00
Speaker 3: I wrote about Murphy in his strength and he did
13:03
Speaker 3: one rep beat and physically beat Gray's abel. And there
13:08
Speaker 3: weren't many NFL defensive linemen who did that. Last year.
13:11
Speaker 3: He got inside a Gravesabel and pushed him in the
13:14
Speaker 3: chest and pushed him back. That was a surprise that
13:19
Speaker 3: nobody had done that from an opposing team, yet his
13:22
Speaker 3: own teammate did it. Speaks to his strength. They lift him.
13:26
Speaker 3: They left Murphy at three h six, But because he's shorter,
13:30
Speaker 3: he's probably barely six feet. They he's compact and his
13:35
Speaker 3: power comes from a ground leverage. He's just he's lower
13:38
Speaker 3: than the guy he's over every time. And McDonald said
13:42
Speaker 3: after practice, we're expecting a jump in production and pass
13:46
Speaker 3: rushed productivity from him. And he had seven and a
13:48
Speaker 3: half sacks last year. That's a lot for an interior
13:51
Speaker 3: defensive lineman. They're going to move him around outside and
13:55
Speaker 3: even out to end. He's going to get more chances
13:57
Speaker 3: and more reps than he did even last year. It's
14:00
Speaker 3: a big year for him. He just saw Jalen Carter
14:03
Speaker 3: get the big bag, the harge flarges inside defensive linemen
14:07
Speaker 3: contract for the Eagles in the same draft class. He's
14:11
Speaker 3: he's got a chance to make a move here and
14:13
Speaker 3: they're gonna give him every opportunity to do it.
14:16
Speaker 1: Is he forty dollars a year? Is that possible? Is
14:19
Speaker 1: that what we're talking about?
14:20
Speaker 3: He would need another year step up from last year's
14:24
Speaker 3: step up to get to that. But I mean, if
14:27
Speaker 3: McDonald's saying we'd expect more passers productivity for a guy
14:30
Speaker 3: who had seven and a half sacks, what are you
14:32
Speaker 3: talking ten from an interior defensive lineman. I mean, that's
14:36
Speaker 3: like Aaron Donald. Esk not that he's Aaron Donald, but yeah,
14:40
Speaker 3: they they love and McDonald said that it's his approach,
14:45
Speaker 3: his mentality and the process. He said that Murphy has
14:48
Speaker 3: changed his training, he's changed the people he's been around,
14:52
Speaker 3: which was interesting to me. He's changed from his rookie
14:56
Speaker 3: year in the first couple of seasons, and that's a
14:58
Speaker 3: natural evolution of a profession. No, a young man becoming
15:01
Speaker 3: a man too. No father that'll change him. And that
15:05
Speaker 3: I've talked about is his daughter being born suprematurely and
15:10
Speaker 3: that has changed him as well.
15:12
Speaker 1: Another feature I do is camp battle, and there are
15:15
Speaker 1: a lot of little camp battles. There's really one big
15:17
Speaker 1: camp battle here, and that's who's who's going to end
15:21
Speaker 1: up atop the depth chart at running back? How is
15:24
Speaker 1: it going to unfold? Uh? And Jdarian Price at least
15:28
Speaker 1: got a message yesterday that's it's his job to lose.
15:32
Speaker 1: Is that how I'm supposed to read into this?
15:34
Speaker 3: Well, it's symbolic some ways, it's not. It's not conclusive,
15:38
Speaker 3: but it's symbolic that who's the lead running back on
15:41
Speaker 3: the first snap first eleven on eleven scrimmage snap in
15:44
Speaker 3: full pad the first full Pets practice, it was Jennari
15:47
Speaker 3: and Price and that hadn't he had not He had
15:52
Speaker 3: not often started a series with the first team offense
15:55
Speaker 3: as the back. There's, let me say, start a scrimmage
15:58
Speaker 3: he did yesterday in the first day in pads. Maybe
16:02
Speaker 3: I read too much into it, but that's the fact.
16:05
Speaker 3: He was the first game back in the first scrimmage
16:08
Speaker 3: play in full pads. I think it's he's on his way.
16:11
Speaker 3: The crash course in past protecting and past catching continues
16:16
Speaker 3: for Price. It's what he needs to work on the
16:18
Speaker 3: most and I think that would be the only thing
16:20
Speaker 3: holding him back from seizing the job sooner than later.
16:23
Speaker 3: But again, I would be really surprised if he's not
16:27
Speaker 3: the lead back with the preponderance of Carry's week one
16:30
Speaker 3: against New England. They would not have drafted him in
16:32
Speaker 3: the first round if they didn't think that was going
16:34
Speaker 3: to happen. Something would have to have gone wrong between
16:37
Speaker 3: now and then not to be the case.
16:40
Speaker 1: Injury's part of this game, part of the certainly training
16:43
Speaker 1: camp as well. We've got one week under our belts
16:47
Speaker 1: in this training camp twenty twenty six. Where are we
16:50
Speaker 1: at on the injury front with this team right now.
16:52
Speaker 1: What news are you hearing?
16:54
Speaker 3: Well? Jake Bobbo and this the second consecutive practice, so
16:57
Speaker 3: did Julian Neal the rookie third round pick, the cornerback,
17:01
Speaker 3: and they both have leg injuries. I'm told it's a
17:03
Speaker 3: hamstring for Bobo. McDonald didn't specify what it was. He
17:07
Speaker 3: said camp type stuff. He didn't think it was long term,
17:11
Speaker 3: and he didn't think it was too concerning. Devin Eastern
17:15
Speaker 3: had the rookie seventh round picked, the nose tackle from Minnesota,
17:18
Speaker 3: had missed the first four practices on the pup list
17:21
Speaker 3: and he's off the pup list and was practicing yesterday.
17:24
Speaker 3: So decent news there. And Tory Horton was back full
17:27
Speaker 3: go eleven on eleven again like he was the practice
17:32
Speaker 3: before the day off. So that's two in a row now,
17:34
Speaker 3: Fu'll go for him. He's trending that better way as well.
17:39
Speaker 3: Still nothing done, Nick even worry other than Mike McDonald's
17:44
Speaker 3: saying he's working really hard in his rehab. He called
17:46
Speaker 3: it an adverse situation that he's attacking. Even worried like
17:49
Speaker 3: everything else he's attacked so far in his career. But
17:53
Speaker 3: McDonald did specify why he's been when I kept trying
17:57
Speaker 3: to press them. When do you expect him for the open?
17:59
Speaker 3: He said, I don't know, He said, I just don't
18:01
Speaker 3: want to add pressure to He actually admitted what I
18:04
Speaker 3: knew was the reasoning behind that history.
18:06
Speaker 1: You know, those eagles must like this though, I mean,
18:09
Speaker 1: because they do have the ability to fly anywhere they want,
18:12
Speaker 1: and they hang out all practice long.
18:16
Speaker 3: Yes, I think they're football fans because they do sit
18:18
Speaker 3: there and watch the whole thing. There. There are music.
18:22
Speaker 1: You would think the loud music that alone would have
18:25
Speaker 1: them fly somewhere else, but they just hang out at
18:27
Speaker 1: that tree all practice long.
18:31
Speaker 3: Yes, there are a lot of trees in the Pacific Northwest,
18:33
Speaker 3: and they keep choosing those two or three there beside
18:36
Speaker 3: the practice field. I don't know if the Seahawks put
18:39
Speaker 3: food up in there something to attract them, but it
18:42
Speaker 3: is an attraction for the fans and the players. They
18:44
Speaker 3: all notice them, and sometimes during the practice is like seven, eight,
18:48
Speaker 3: ten of them swarming around there. I mean, yeah, again,
18:54
Speaker 3: there aren't many NFL training camps that have ten bald
18:56
Speaker 3: eagles around them.
18:58
Speaker 1: No, now we'll go.
18:58
Speaker 3: Crazy and the back East people go crazy. They see
19:01
Speaker 3: one bald eagle like I saw a bald eagle last year.
19:04
Speaker 3: Every camp ten minutes.
19:07
Speaker 1: Every camp has ten bald broadcasters, but not ten bald eagles.
19:13
Speaker 1: What do you got playing for ten o'clock today?
19:17
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear from Nick Venette and I sat down
19:20
Speaker 3: with him after practice yesterday and he had a really
19:22
Speaker 3: great discussion about mental the mental side of football and
19:26
Speaker 3: now when he hired a mental coach at his wife's urging.
19:29
Speaker 3: He met his wife here when he first go around
19:31
Speaker 3: with the Seahawks. She used to be a miss Idaho.
19:35
Speaker 3: She encouraged him to get to the mental side and have
19:38
Speaker 3: a more positive outlook, and he said it changed his career.
19:40
Speaker 3: He's now in his eleventh NFL season. Blows him away.
19:43
Speaker 3: He's been in this that long. He talked about all
19:46
Speaker 3: he's learned on all the travels are going around in
19:49
Speaker 3: now eleven years and seven or eight different teams. It
19:54
Speaker 3: was really I've met Nick Vinette and covered him when
19:57
Speaker 3: he was here out of Ohio State in twenty sixteen
19:59
Speaker 3: when they drive after him, and to see an evolution
20:02
Speaker 3: of a man, just his look on life. He's got
20:04
Speaker 3: a sixteen month old daughter now it's just so different.
20:08
Speaker 3: It's really fun to see guys that come in as
20:10
Speaker 3: a big ten Ohio state big shot and then he
20:13
Speaker 3: comes Now he's just worldly and you're gonna hear it's
20:16
Speaker 3: a really good discussion that you'll hear at eleven o'clock.
20:19
Speaker 1: All right, sounds great. We'll see in a little bit.
20:23
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir, seeing there all right.

21:23
Speaker 3: Don't.
21:34
Speaker 1: Ah, the Great George thorough Good and his world famous
21:36
Speaker 1: Destroyers are coming to town August sixth. They're only playing
21:40
Speaker 1: at Talela Prasort Casino and there are tickets available at Ticketmaster.
21:46
Speaker 1: I'm going to be out there. We're going to be
21:48
Speaker 1: out there KJR uh and I would lot I would
21:53
Speaker 1: like to not drink alone. See what we did there.
21:56
Speaker 1: George has got a song called I Drink Alone, so
22:00
Speaker 1: I would not like to drink alone. We're going to
22:02
Speaker 1: be at the Circle Bar right in the middle of
22:04
Speaker 1: the casino floor at Talala Psort Casino from five to
22:07
Speaker 1: seven a free pre party. I've got some prizes I'm
22:10
Speaker 1: going to give away, so don't let me drink alone.
22:13
Speaker 1: Come on out and be a part of it, August
22:15
Speaker 1: sixth at the Circle Bar inside Talala Presort Casino. When
22:19
Speaker 1: all you want is everything all right? Well for me,
22:22
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a holiday. The Major League Baseball
22:24
Speaker 1: trading deadline in past years, I would be furious, I
22:28
Speaker 1: mean just absolutely screaming at the moon if there were
22:34
Speaker 1: only three trades at this stage in the process. When
22:37
Speaker 1: the deadline is coming up on Monday. But I get it.
22:41
Speaker 1: I understand it is an absolute seller's market because of
22:46
Speaker 1: how many teams have been close to contention this year.
22:50
Speaker 1: But that's going to get sorted out over the weekend
22:53
Speaker 1: and suddenly the asking prices that have been so high
22:57
Speaker 1: from the sellers will start to drop a little bit.
23:00
Speaker 1: The buyers who are desperate, and there are some teams
23:03
Speaker 1: out there, including one locally, that should be feeling a
23:06
Speaker 1: bit desperate right now, they might also have to give
23:09
Speaker 1: in to Well, it's a seller's market. We're gonna have
23:12
Speaker 1: to give more than we wanted to, but we do
23:15
Speaker 1: need an asset or two to fill out this roster
23:18
Speaker 1: and make a push. So I am not surprised that
23:22
Speaker 1: we haven't add much activity to this point, not at all,
23:26
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and yet I am expecting
23:29
Speaker 1: a ton of it in the last twenty four to
23:32
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. It seems inevitable at this point. Here's
23:37
Speaker 1: why active sellers the Mets I'm airing from and I'm
23:41
Speaker 1: talking about the top insiders in the business, saying the
23:44
Speaker 1: Mets could trade up to six to seven players before
23:47
Speaker 1: the deadline, veterans on their roster. The Cincinnati Reds are
23:51
Speaker 1: sort of acknowledging, hey, we are We thought maybe we
23:55
Speaker 1: were going to make our push through. We like a
23:57
Speaker 1: lot of our young assets, but they're not yet ready
24:00
Speaker 1: to win, and we have identified the ones that we
24:04
Speaker 1: want to build around and are willing to move many
24:07
Speaker 1: of the others, including Hunter Green, who might be made
24:10
Speaker 1: available by the Cincinnati Reds. I think they're going to
24:13
Speaker 1: trade five players or more at the deadline. The Giants
24:17
Speaker 1: have announced to the world we failed. We broke the
24:21
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants. Our previous general manager, even though everybody
24:27
Speaker 1: acted like he was a genius when we hired him,
24:30
Speaker 1: turns out is a buffoon. And so we are broken,
24:33
Speaker 1: and we need to move as many high salaried players
24:38
Speaker 1: as we possibly can to clear the decks and pretty
24:41
Speaker 1: much start all over. I don't know if they're going
24:43
Speaker 1: to get many takers on their high ticket items, but
24:46
Speaker 1: they might get some takers on their lower ticket items,
24:50
Speaker 1: which is what the Mariners might be fishing for. More
24:53
Speaker 1: on that in a moment. And then if the Giants
24:55
Speaker 1: are broken, what can we say about the Angels? What
24:58
Speaker 1: a pathetic organiz and they are in a change. They
25:02
Speaker 1: fire their general manager, earlier this year, and so they
25:06
Speaker 1: are Also, they might move off of their best two
25:10
Speaker 1: starting pitchers, Debt Meers and Soriano, might move off of
25:15
Speaker 1: Zach Netto their starting shortstop, who at one point they
25:18
Speaker 1: were going to build around in the post, might trout Era,
25:21
Speaker 1: and yet they might be so desperate they move him
25:25
Speaker 1: for prospects as well. So I suspect they're going to
25:28
Speaker 1: be active. Then we should have some active buyers. The
25:30
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies. Bryce Harper has told the Phillies organization to
25:34
Speaker 1: get on it, and so I think they're going to
25:37
Speaker 1: be active buyers. The Chicago White Sox have to write,
25:40
Speaker 1: you put your fan base through one hundred and twenty
25:42
Speaker 1: one loss season a couple of years ago, and then
25:44
Speaker 1: you have this breakthrough season and the fan base has
25:46
Speaker 1: come back in droves. I mean, they have one of
25:49
Speaker 1: the best atmospheres at home and one of the best
25:51
Speaker 1: home field advantages in Major League Baseball. They have to
25:54
Speaker 1: buy right, and I think that they will. You know,
25:57
Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Dodgers will be aggressive. They are
25:59
Speaker 1: every year. The Red Sox, I promise you are going
26:02
Speaker 1: to be aggressive because Craig Breslo, I mean, everybody thought
26:05
Speaker 1: that he should be out on his keister after firing
26:09
Speaker 1: Alex Korra and his coaching staff unceremoniously about a month
26:14
Speaker 1: and a half two months ago, and yet it's Breslo
26:17
Speaker 1: that's coming out smelling like a rose. You know, he
26:19
Speaker 1: wants to add to his team as the general manager
26:22
Speaker 1: and really rub it in the faces of all of
26:24
Speaker 1: those critics, not to mention the guys that he fired
26:28
Speaker 1: and had a terrible relationship with. So I think they're
26:31
Speaker 1: going to be incredibly active. The Cubs have to get
26:35
Speaker 1: starting pitching. The Atlanta Braves have to get starting pitching
26:38
Speaker 1: if they're going to have any chance of doing anything
26:41
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. In the same league as the Los
26:44
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodgers, so I suspect that they're going to be
26:47
Speaker 1: active as well, which leads us to the Mariners and
26:50
Speaker 1: right now, the way they're playing, the way they haven't
26:54
Speaker 1: been able to get into a groove all season long,
26:57
Speaker 1: I think most teams would sit this out. Maybe they
27:01
Speaker 1: wouldn't sell, but maybe they wouldn't be as aggressive a
27:04
Speaker 1: buyer as what the Mariners have been the last couple
27:08
Speaker 1: of years. But I don't know if they have a choice.
27:12
Speaker 1: I know how the organization feels about this roster, and
27:17
Speaker 1: even though we haven't seen that turnaround one hundred and
27:21
Speaker 1: ten games in and this has been the most disappointing
27:24
Speaker 1: of a number of disappointing seasons of underachievement here in
27:29
Speaker 1: recent years. Even though it's a winning product five years
27:32
Speaker 1: in a row and could be for a sixth year
27:34
Speaker 1: in a row, still it feels like the roster was
27:39
Speaker 1: better than what they've played each of the last five
27:43
Speaker 1: years in my estimation, and certainly that is the case
27:45
Speaker 1: this year. This organization believes in this group, and I
27:50
Speaker 1: think that they do feel they're going to have to
27:53
Speaker 1: provide some sort of spark and so pitching from starting
27:58
Speaker 1: pitching death. It's looking more and more likely that Emerson
28:01
Speaker 1: Hancock is going to be moved before Monday. That's the
28:05
Speaker 1: name that is being most prominently mentioned. Jeff Passing, for example,
28:11
Speaker 1: he put together the ten trades that he thinks are
28:14
Speaker 1: going to happen. He has Handcock going to Saint Louis.
28:17
Speaker 1: I don't like the suggestion of Avon Herrera that guy
28:21
Speaker 1: doesn't help us at all on the defensive side of
28:24
Speaker 1: the ball, and I don't think that he's some world
28:26
Speaker 1: game changer either as a hitter, and I don't think
28:30
Speaker 1: I'm giving Hancock up for him. I'd be more apt
28:33
Speaker 1: to do it for Elliott Ramos, who at least can
28:36
Speaker 1: play a little bit of outfield, but he probably is
28:38
Speaker 1: going to be the DH. I want CJ. Abrams. I
28:42
Speaker 1: want to be that aggressive, and I don't care if
28:45
Speaker 1: he is a left handed hitter. We can bring up
28:48
Speaker 1: Michael Arroyo to give us a right handed hitter in
28:51
Speaker 1: the lineup, which I think might happen today with JP's
28:54
Speaker 1: injury and Weston Wilson playing third base like a like
28:59
Speaker 1: a sasquatch, so that I think that could happen today.
29:04
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the right handed bat. Rather than overpaying for
29:07
Speaker 1: a right handed bat on a total seller's market, you
29:10
Speaker 1: just activate a Royal and then go get the left
29:13
Speaker 1: handed bat that's mysteriously the Nationals are making available. And
29:17
Speaker 1: I realize that he's got a little bit of an
29:19
Speaker 1: attitude issue, but he's hitting the crap out of the ball,
29:21
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's on the mound, and I think we
29:24
Speaker 1: can put him in the DH roll. But I think
29:27
Speaker 1: what's going to happen is you're going to see a
29:29
Speaker 1: deal worked out between the Mariners for Elliott Ramos and
29:33
Speaker 1: a relief pitcher, probably that Eric Miller that Jim Boden
29:36
Speaker 1: brought up with us a couple of weeks ago or
29:38
Speaker 1: a week ago. Maybe that's the trade, and maybe it
29:42
Speaker 1: will cost you a handcock. I think that's I think
29:45
Speaker 1: that's losing that trade. I do. I think that's Emerson's
29:50
Speaker 1: too good to give up for that return. And yet
29:53
Speaker 1: this team seems so desperate for a right handed hitter
29:55
Speaker 1: that can hit any kind of left handed pitching and
29:58
Speaker 1: an extra bullpen piece. That might be the price on
30:02
Speaker 1: this markets we might have to give it up. And
30:04
Speaker 1: then finally, Trek Scooble, I'll mention in this segment and
30:07
Speaker 1: hopefully we can talk more about this stuff a little
30:09
Speaker 1: bit later on. Scooble is going to get moved. Jeff
30:13
Speaker 1: Passon says it's a foregone conclusion. He has them going
30:17
Speaker 1: to the Atlanta Braves. I'd love to see him go
30:20
Speaker 1: to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers, to me have to
30:23
Speaker 1: go for it. This is the type of go for
30:25
Speaker 1: it move they can make. They've done it before with
30:28
Speaker 1: CC Sabathia, knowing that they were renting one of the
30:31
Speaker 1: top pitchers in Major League Baseball for three months. But
30:34
Speaker 1: what the hell, let's try to win a championship. I
30:38
Speaker 1: think a schooble and miss rotation that might take down
30:44
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. It gives you a chance to take down
30:47
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. The Brewers have been really good, too great,
30:50
Speaker 1: for a number of years now, but they are not
30:53
Speaker 1: built for the playoffs the way that they play baseball
30:56
Speaker 1: because they don't hit a lot of home runs. They
30:58
Speaker 1: are a scrap iron type team. They try to manufacture runs,
31:02
Speaker 1: and that's not easy to do. When you're facing the
31:04
Speaker 1: best competition throwing its best pitchers at you. It's not
31:08
Speaker 1: easy to manufacture those runs. You really need that home
31:11
Speaker 1: run to show up. Unless you have two starters in
31:15
Speaker 1: your four man rotation that never give up a run,
31:18
Speaker 1: you might win a series that way. I think they
31:21
Speaker 1: should go for it. We'll see if they do. Here's
31:24
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter. He's probably ending up with
31:27
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I just want to brace you for it.
31:29
Speaker 1: They have the prospects. They have the prospects that the
31:32
Speaker 1: Tigers crave, and obviously they've got the money where they
31:38
Speaker 1: can turn trek scouble from a rental into a keeper
31:41
Speaker 1: going forward, which I suspect's going to happen until we
31:46
Speaker 1: can finally get our arms around the collective bargaining agreement
31:51
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball to stop some of this nonsense.
31:54
Speaker 1: But Trek Scouoble, I think is going to end up
31:57
Speaker 1: a Dodger, but I'm rooting for him to be a
32:00
Speaker 1: Brewers should be fascinating. We will talk a little more
32:03
Speaker 1: about it a little bit later on in the show.
32:05
Speaker 1: But Mike Morris is going to join us next from
32:07
Speaker 1: the Seahawks Sports Radio ninety three point three kh A
32:09
Speaker 1: r f M. Here we go kJ RS coverage of
32:30
Speaker 1: Seahawks training camp. The World Champ Champ Camp continues here
32:35
Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ r f M,
32:37
Speaker 1: and joining us here at our set is the always
32:43
Speaker 1: interesting Mike Morris is with us defensive end. Probably has
32:47
Speaker 1: a future in broadcasting, to be quite honest, if he
32:49
Speaker 1: wants to pursue it. He's with us here on the
32:52
Speaker 1: RADI you're nodding you want to pursue it.
32:54
Speaker 5: I actually do have a degree in a communications in matter, right,
32:58
Speaker 5: all right, Well, I just like my co host, So
33:02
Speaker 5: if you're not doing anything, thank you for having me.
33:07
Speaker 1: Man good to have you on great great always great
33:10
Speaker 1: to chat with you. And I was just pointing this out.
33:13
Speaker 1: I want your observation on this. I think that the
33:15
Speaker 1: eagles love it when you guys are here. The eagles
33:19
Speaker 1: that are flying around, not the Philadelphia Eagles. They don't
33:21
Speaker 1: care about it.
33:22
Speaker 4: I was actually pretty like curious on why they cut
33:24
Speaker 4: down some of the trees over here, maybe like for
33:26
Speaker 4: the view, but still because like there were a lot
33:29
Speaker 4: of nests and stuff up there. But well, I don't know,
33:32
Speaker 4: I don't know the reason any maybe, but they never
33:34
Speaker 4: leave the Remember a rookie year there was an eagle
33:37
Speaker 4: that landed on the field and like took off and
33:39
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my gosh, Yeah, I was the same.
33:43
Speaker 1: You build that story over time in the future, you say,
33:46
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett jumped on his back and they just flew
33:49
Speaker 1: away over Blake Washing or a seaplane landed. Mike Morris
33:54
Speaker 1: is with us yesterday padded practice. How did that go?
33:57
Speaker 1: I think it went? Will? I think both sides were.
33:59
Speaker 1: They competed.
34:00
Speaker 4: So that's that's the main thing that we want to
34:02
Speaker 4: do at a team, discompete.
34:05
Speaker 1: That's really it. Are you sore?
34:07
Speaker 4: I was more sore after those first four days of practicing,
34:10
Speaker 4: because like there's nothing like coming back and practicing, because
34:14
Speaker 4: like you can do all the train that you want
34:16
Speaker 4: to do, but it's kind of different when you're going
34:18
Speaker 4: against another guy. Yeah, and repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly and lifting
34:22
Speaker 4: and working out, and it's just like really tax on
34:25
Speaker 4: the body. But I feel like now like my body's
34:27
Speaker 4: starting to bounce back and build that callous.
34:29
Speaker 1: Now, talk about that dynamic, because I find that fascinating
34:33
Speaker 1: because they're your buddies. They're your teammates. Even if they're
34:37
Speaker 1: not your buddies, they're your teammates because you know, it's
34:39
Speaker 1: it's impossible to get along with everybody in the office.
34:43
Speaker 1: And then there might be some history with a guy
34:46
Speaker 1: that maybe he didn't like what he did the previous
34:48
Speaker 1: year to you in camp, and yet your coaches are saying,
34:51
Speaker 1: I need to see your best, I need to see
34:53
Speaker 1: you whip this guy here at the line of scrimmage.
34:56
Speaker 1: So inevitably there's gonna be an argument of fight something
35:00
Speaker 1: between teammates. So what is the dynamic when you go
35:03
Speaker 1: into that, What do you what kind of mindset do
35:05
Speaker 1: you have to have as a player and a teammate.
35:10
Speaker 1: It's really interesting because like my thing is.
35:14
Speaker 4: Always win, but just don't uh, just don't try to
35:18
Speaker 4: hurt anyone because I feel like the difference between winning
35:21
Speaker 4: and like trying to hurt people on your team because
35:23
Speaker 4: like I'm going against Abe, like I want to I
35:25
Speaker 4: want to be Abe every time I go against him,
35:28
Speaker 4: But if I try to hurt him, he might not
35:30
Speaker 4: be ready in September. So there, that's that's a give
35:33
Speaker 4: and take that you need. And it goes like across
35:35
Speaker 4: the board, like we don't want to hurt our guys,
35:37
Speaker 4: but at the same time, we have to compete, and
35:39
Speaker 4: if the terms of competing and something happens, you know,
35:42
Speaker 4: it's just you got a charger. You have the charger
35:44
Speaker 4: to the game. But there is a sense of like,
35:47
Speaker 4: you know, take care of your teammates. Maybe don't dump
35:49
Speaker 4: this guy into the ground. Maybe let's not push somebody
35:52
Speaker 4: into Sam.
35:53
Speaker 3: You know.
35:53
Speaker 4: That's that's you know, like like it's just things that
35:57
Speaker 4: you can do to prevent like stuff. And I think
35:58
Speaker 4: coach Mike does a great in that and just having
36:01
Speaker 4: that good balance of let's let's run through each other's faces,
36:05
Speaker 4: but let's not get hurt.
36:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as much as you know, everybody wants to
36:08
Speaker 1: think about its team, team, team, there's also individual out
36:12
Speaker 1: there as well. Mike Morris is fighting for reps out there.
36:15
Speaker 1: Mike Morris knows the competition just got increased in the offseason.
36:19
Speaker 1: Mike Morris wants to play some football this year, and
36:22
Speaker 1: so you got to look out for individual as well.
36:25
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a fifty to fifty I think page,
36:27
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, no, it is, it is.
36:29
Speaker 4: It's a I'll probably say more like a seventy five
36:32
Speaker 4: twenty five where like you because you just you just
36:35
Speaker 4: have to win and yeah, you're right, I'd just rather
36:38
Speaker 4: not lose, yeah, you know. And but at the same time,
36:42
Speaker 4: it's like you just have to just know the team,
36:45
Speaker 4: know what the team needs, and the team doesn't need
36:46
Speaker 4: you to hurt people.
36:48
Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about you and your game.
36:51
Speaker 1: What what's the goal here? What's the what are you
36:53
Speaker 1: looking to get done here in training camp in this season?
36:56
Speaker 1: For Mike Morris, man, I just want to be the
36:58
Speaker 1: best version of myself.
36:59
Speaker 4: I feel like the list couple of years I've I
37:01
Speaker 4: haven't been that and this year I'm catching my stride
37:04
Speaker 4: and that's what I'm really happy with just being the
37:06
Speaker 4: best version of myself each and every day, coming with
37:08
Speaker 4: the right attitude and and.
37:10
Speaker 1: Just having fun.
37:11
Speaker 4: Man, I feel like I'm having fun playing football, and
37:13
Speaker 4: like that's that's all I really want.
37:15
Speaker 1: Did you beat yourself up in the off season over it?
37:18
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that.
37:19
Speaker 4: I just think honestly having a family, having uh, marrying
37:23
Speaker 4: my wife. Now we had a baby four months ago,
37:26
Speaker 4: and it's kind of just like calmed you down to
37:28
Speaker 4: really look at what's really important.
37:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, what'st important is my family.
37:31
Speaker 4: And also it's just like, man, I want to I
37:34
Speaker 4: want to have fun because I'm gonna be away from
37:36
Speaker 4: my family. I want to at least have fun while
37:37
Speaker 4: I'm doing it. And I'm working on a job that
37:39
Speaker 4: I've loved my entire life. Why can't I love it now?
37:41
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, and you're on a world champion exactly.
37:45
Speaker 4: So it so it's like I feel like last year
37:47
Speaker 4: was like a great step in the right direction of
37:49
Speaker 4: me having fun playing football, and now just like I'm
37:52
Speaker 4: just doubling down on that and just stacking days.
37:54
Speaker 1: Give me somebody that has impressed you, whether in your group,
37:59
Speaker 1: workout group, or somebody that you're going against everybody that
38:03
Speaker 1: listening right now wants information. They want to hear about
38:06
Speaker 1: somebody on the roster that maybe they weren't thinking about.
38:10
Speaker 1: But Mike Morris did notice for us what your analyst
38:16
Speaker 1: had on.
38:16
Speaker 4: Now, I'm gonna always say one of my guys, but
38:21
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of somebody else. But like, it's
38:23
Speaker 4: all right, Yeah, I would just say Riley Mills, I
38:26
Speaker 4: feel like we compete in in a really in a
38:28
Speaker 4: lot of ways.

Speaker 1: And he went to Notre Dame, what a.
38:31
Speaker 4: Sucks, What a schmuck, What a schmuck. They're so entitled

38:40
