- 0:00Speaker 1: The Boa Steven story is a really good one. I mean,
- 0:02Speaker 1: he's it's it's an interesting dynamic with him ends up
- 0:08Speaker 1: being All American, had some injuries this first couple of years,
- 0:10Speaker 1: healthy as last year, ends up being an All American for Iowa.
- 0:15Speaker 1: The testing is the only thing that knocked him down
- 0:17Speaker 1: to the fifth round. Probably wait for it, short arms,
- 0:21Speaker 1: wait for it, small hands, and not the fastest guy
- 0:24Speaker 1: in the world, but can be a maller, can be
- 0:26Speaker 1: an absolute maller. He talked about that before. Also has
- 0:29Speaker 1: battled ADHD and some mental thing, mental health issues, and
- 0:32Speaker 1: so we're, uh, we're going to talk to him about
- 0:34Speaker 1: that too. As you know on this show, that's a
- 0:36Speaker 1: that's an important thing time to me as well. So
- 0:39Speaker 1: we'll get all that coming up here in the next
- 0:42Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Looking at at some point we may
- 0:45Speaker 1: wrap up a little bit of the NBA conversation from
- 0:47Speaker 1: yesterday as well. There was a lot of feedback. We
- 0:50Speaker 1: posted some stuff on social media, a lot of people
- 0:53Speaker 1: chiming in on it too. It was it was a
- 0:56Speaker 1: it was a hot topic yesterday and I think it's
- 0:58Speaker 1: going to continue to be a hot topic as well
- 1:01Speaker 1: for all of us out here because look.
- 1:04Speaker 2: The NBA.
- 1:07Speaker 1: And what they may do in terms of the musical chairs.
- 1:12Speaker 1: There was a thing that came out God, I don't
- 1:14Speaker 1: even know who had it, somebody in Canada Globe and
- 1:16Speaker 1: Mail or somebody had it, which is kind of their
- 1:18Speaker 1: national paper, their Wall Street Journal, talking about the potential
- 1:23Speaker 1: for a relocation and then expansion to Vancouver for the NBA.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I'm like, what are we doing? Like, what are we doing?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Relocation would include Seattle with a team relocated and then
- 1:37Speaker 1: see they're just it's it's you're trying to get as
- 1:39Speaker 1: much as you can. What are we doing? Well, thank you, Taylor.
- 1:44Speaker 1: We do appreciate that.
- 1:46Speaker 2: We do.
- 1:46Speaker 1: We do appreciate that along the way as well. I
- 1:48Speaker 1: don't know, Andrews, I think you think we're all on
- 1:50Speaker 1: the same page, are we not. This is just a
- 1:52Speaker 1: bad idea.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I just don't see it becoming, like especially like considering
- 1:57Speaker 3: the situation with the white Caps that we talked about yesterday, Right,
- 2:00Speaker 3: how are you gonna say you don't have enough money
- 2:02Speaker 3: to keep you know, build a new arena.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I think. Like that's yeah, because that
- 2:07Speaker 1: is the story that came out of Vancouver. Rights is
- 2:09Speaker 1: the fact that the and I'm gonna go back like,
- 2:13Speaker 1: I don't think relocation is ever a good thing. No,
- 2:16Speaker 1: we've been through it. Hell, you know what I mean.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I think we tend to for it. We've been through
- 2:19Speaker 1: it twice now. The last time was a one and
- 2:21Speaker 1: done Seattle Pilots in sixty nine, right, Which, if you
- 2:24Speaker 1: just think about that for a second, how absolutely moronic
- 2:28Speaker 1: is that you had one year of Major League No.
- 2:32Speaker 1: Six stadium wasn't good? I get all that. Yeah, why'd
- 2:34Speaker 1: you award a franchise in the first place? But one
- 2:36Speaker 1: and done? And then obviously forty one years of Sonics
- 2:38Speaker 1: basketball and we get nothing out of that as well.
- 2:42Speaker 1: So it's as we're going through this whole process and
- 2:47Speaker 1: waiting to see what happened, you look and see and
- 2:49Speaker 1: you hear something like Vancouver mentioned for an additional franchise. Hell,
- 2:52Speaker 1: they're they're being mentioned for a baseball franchise. And yet
- 2:56Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me this, someone's gonna be abld a
- 2:57Speaker 1: baseball park up there. But you can't old football or
- 3:03Speaker 1: a soccer stadium, and the soccer stadium, what can you do?
- 3:06Speaker 1: Like is it thirty five thousand?
- 3:08Speaker 3: It's like I'd say thirty five to forty thousand. I
- 3:09Speaker 3: have to double check what BC Place is, but it
- 3:11Speaker 3: needs updating. I went there last year to watch Lionel
- 3:14Speaker 3: Messi take on the white Caps in a Champions League match.
- 3:17Speaker 3: It was fun. Yeah, first time me and my wife
- 3:19Speaker 3: were able to see him play live. But yeah, you
- 3:22Speaker 3: could tell. It's it's a cool like environment. The people
- 3:25Speaker 3: are like around there. It's a great kind of spot.
- 3:27Speaker 3: You feel close to the action. It is a soccer
- 3:29Speaker 3: specific stadium. They don't play other sports. They're like the Sounders.
- 3:33Speaker 3: You can tell they play in a football stadium. Right,
- 3:35Speaker 3: that's not the case there. But it does need some updating.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Like it's just it's you could tell. It's a little
- 3:40Speaker 3: on the older side.
- 3:41Speaker 2: All right.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Both Stevens I'm told is calling in here in just
- 3:43Speaker 1: a couple of seconds, so we'll get him on. Yeah,
- 3:45Speaker 1: I hell, I think we could use a soccer stadium
- 3:47Speaker 1: here too, but nobody wants to build anything.
- 3:49Speaker 3: You well might be coming, but that's a whole nother
- 3:51Speaker 3: discussion on his Sounders fans.
- 3:52Speaker 1: That is a whole different discussion. That is that is
- 3:55Speaker 1: a whole different discussion. So yeah, the NBA, it's I
- 3:58Speaker 1: still find and people been joking and give me a
- 4:00Speaker 1: hard time. Four nine four to five. One, by the way,
- 4:02Speaker 1: is the Tacoma dotch text line.
- 4:03Speaker 4: You can go.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Feel free to call in text in on that as well.
- 4:07Speaker 1: But my whole refuse to talk with that. I know
- 4:10Speaker 1: we've got a lot of grief on it, a lot
- 4:12Speaker 1: of pushback. I get that, but listen, end of the day,
- 4:16Speaker 1: I'm watching What's best on at night. So all right, hey,
- 4:18Speaker 1: joining us right now on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline, Bo
- 4:20Speaker 1: Stevens Seattle Seahawk Draft pick All American Guard out of Iowa.
- 4:26Speaker 1: It joins us right now for the first time here
- 4:28Speaker 1: on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM, home of
- 4:31Speaker 1: the Twelves here in Seattle. Bo, thanks for jumping on
- 4:35Speaker 1: first and foremost. We were there on Saturday at the
- 4:38Speaker 1: Virginia Mason Athletic Center, so we got a chance to
- 4:40Speaker 1: hear you on the speakerphone and talk to you. But
- 4:41Speaker 1: I'll officially say this on live airwaves here in Seattle
- 4:44Speaker 1: with all the twelves out here. Welcome to Seattle. Congratulations,
- 4:47Speaker 1: I'm becoming a Seattle Seahawk.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Yeah, appreciate it. Thank you.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Tell me the process of a draft and waiting in
- 4:55Speaker 1: your day three and you're kind of waiting to get
- 4:57Speaker 1: the call. I think it's always a fun conversation how
- 5:00Speaker 1: did the call come, where'd you see it coming from?
- 5:03Speaker 1: And and kind of walk us through that, because you know, listen,
- 5:06Speaker 1: in so many ways, to get draft in the NFL's
- 5:08Speaker 1: got to be just one of the incredible things for
- 5:10Speaker 1: anybody to go through.
- 5:13Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, Yeah, no, I was. I was honestly
- 5:16Speaker 5: thinking I was gonna go day two. So I was
- 5:18Speaker 5: like sweat and nervous second day and then third Like
- 5:23Speaker 5: I didn't go in the second day, so I was like,
- 5:25Speaker 5: all right, I'm guessing maybe early tomorrow.
- 5:29Speaker 2: And then woke up the next day didn't go.
- 5:33Speaker 5: In the fourth round, and I'm like, shoot, what's happening?
- 5:36Speaker 5: Like did my name get lost on the board or something?
- 5:41Speaker 2: Yep.
- 5:43Speaker 5: So then I was just like sweating profusely, like looking
- 5:46Speaker 5: at my parents like, okay, is this Am I not
- 5:49Speaker 5: gonna good draft?
- 5:50Speaker 2: Who knows?
- 5:51Speaker 5: I thought it was pretty good.
- 5:55Speaker 2: I see all the teams that had.
- 5:57Speaker 5: Me like higher up on their boards, They're like picking
- 6:01Speaker 5: the other guys, and then then I see like a
- 6:04Speaker 5: gap of like picks where I'm like, yeah, all these
- 6:06Speaker 5: teams really didn't talk to me, didn't really say they
- 6:09Speaker 5: like to me, at least to my agent. And then
- 6:13Speaker 5: all of a sudden, I'm like, okay, let me just
- 6:15Speaker 5: scroll on my phone a little bit, well, like on
- 6:17Speaker 5: Instagram or Twitter or something, and then I'm getting a
- 6:21Speaker 5: call from Washington. And my first thought I was like, okay,
- 6:24Speaker 5: this is like I saw Washington like commanders. Yeah, I
- 6:32Speaker 5: guess I'm going to Washington. So my parents all think
- 6:34Speaker 5: it's Washington, DC. And then I hear Kirk Parrish. She's like, yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 5: with the Seahawks, And I'm like trying to tell my parents, like,
- 6:43Speaker 5: it's not Washington, it's not the Commanders, it's actually the Seahawks.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Washington me like twenty picks ahead of time because I
- 6:53Speaker 5: didn't even see him on the screen. And so then
- 6:56Speaker 5: they told me, yeah, we traded up to get you,
- 6:58Speaker 5: and they hadn't even shown them my tea.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Yeah. I was like, holy crap, that's pretty dank.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Cool, yeah, very cool, very cool.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Yeah, but yeah, no, I was like if I have
- 7:10Speaker 5: a video of it, but like you can see me,
- 7:13Speaker 5: like I'm sweating through my shirt there, like I'm sitting
- 7:15Speaker 5: in my chair that I'm sitting in right now. It's
- 7:17Speaker 5: a new like lazy boy thing. But I'm like sweating
- 7:21Speaker 5: profusely because I'm like kind of worried about like how
- 7:24Speaker 5: far how much longer is.
- 7:25Speaker 2: This going to take?
- 7:25Speaker 5: Because I I, I just wanted to go date two
- 7:28Speaker 5: just because I didn't want to wait that long.
- 7:30Speaker 2: I didn't want to.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Like have to wake up the next day and be like, okay,
- 7:34Speaker 5: like now it's this day. I wanted to go on
- 7:36Speaker 5: Friday so I could get out of that like headspace
- 7:39Speaker 5: of just not knowing what's going to happen. But yeah,
- 7:43Speaker 5: that was pretty cool. Pretty cool story is. It was
- 7:45Speaker 5: cool that they traded up for me, and I was
- 7:47Speaker 5: really appreciative of it.
- 7:48Speaker 2: But uh, like.
- 7:50Speaker 5: They posted a bunch of videos on Instagram recently of
- 7:54Speaker 5: like the phone call between us, and everyone's like I'm
- 7:57Speaker 5: reading comments and this thing like this guy does not
- 7:59Speaker 5: sound excited at all. I was surely in shock. I
- 8:03Speaker 5: was like I didn't even think that was an option
- 8:05Speaker 5: anymore because I did even see them on the screen
- 8:08Speaker 5: at all, and so like I didn't even know how
- 8:10Speaker 5: to react really post them like listening in like to
- 8:14Speaker 5: them on my phone, not on speaker, so like I
- 8:16Speaker 5: can barely hear them, so I'm trying to get my
- 8:18Speaker 5: family path like my fiance, to be quiet so I
- 8:22Speaker 5: can actually hear properly. But yeah, I really did not
- 8:25Speaker 5: know what to say. It was just a really cool
- 8:28Speaker 5: feeling though, to have that call going through.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Though I think it's awesome. It's an awesome story. It
- 8:34Speaker 1: also tells you something, does it, not that the Seahawks
- 8:36Speaker 1: from Seattle, Washington, not DC, which trust me, we get
- 8:40Speaker 1: that confused all the time, that they traded a fourth
- 8:43Speaker 1: round pick next year to get you in the fifth round.
- 8:45Speaker 1: And they said, hey, this guy's there, we saw them,
- 8:47Speaker 1: we got to go get him, like in terms of
- 8:49Speaker 1: the old trade value and all that stuff that doesn't
- 8:51Speaker 1: normally happen. So they must think quite highly of you,
- 8:53Speaker 1: which kind of mean something nice to you as well.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:57Speaker 5: No, I was just really appreciative that they were willing
- 9:00Speaker 5: to do that for me. You know, it makes you
- 9:03Speaker 5: feel good for sure.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Most Steven's joining us here on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Bo,
- 9:08Speaker 1: You've been very public about something that's near and dear
- 9:11Speaker 1: to our hearts here on this show, on this radio station.
- 9:13Speaker 1: We work quite a bit with mental health awareness. Lensky's
- 9:16Speaker 1: hope very intimate for us and impersonal for us. You
- 9:21Speaker 1: talked about your ADHD and some struggles with with mental
- 9:23Speaker 1: health issues and challenges. I'll open it up for you.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Not everyone wants to come forward with things like that.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Why did you come forward? And why are you so
- 9:31Speaker 1: open about it?
- 9:34Speaker 5: You know, when you're going through it, like you kind
- 9:37Speaker 5: of don't want to like let anybody know. But it's
- 9:40Speaker 5: kind of a pride thing. I'd say, like after you've
- 9:43Speaker 5: gone through the hardship and like trying to figure out
- 9:45Speaker 5: your entire life and trying to figure out how you're
- 9:49Speaker 5: going to like wake up each day and what kind
- 9:51Speaker 5: of mentality and perspective you're going to have, It's kind
- 9:54Speaker 5: of it's more of like a pride thing now where
- 9:56Speaker 5: it's like I'm super open about it because I want
- 9:58Speaker 5: people to know that I got that chip on mar
- 10:00Speaker 5: I've got that I've went through things like that when
- 10:04Speaker 5: it comes to mental health. And I think people really
- 10:07Speaker 5: relate with that because a lot of people will not
- 10:10Speaker 5: really talk about it, but they definitely experienced that at
- 10:14Speaker 5: some point in their life. So I think people see
- 10:17Speaker 5: you differently. They trust you. There's a little more credit
- 10:23Speaker 5: to what you say, just because like if you're that
- 10:27Speaker 5: open about it, like how I've been and how I've
- 10:29Speaker 5: been with like guys at IOWA and younger guys whenever
- 10:32Speaker 5: they're coming up in the program and trying to to
- 10:36Speaker 5: not self like me diagnose them, but be like, Okay,
- 10:39Speaker 5: this is how you're thinking, this is your mentality.
- 10:42Speaker 2: This is where it needs to shift.
- 10:43Speaker 5: And I think people just respect you a lot more
- 10:47Speaker 5: because of that.
- 10:48Speaker 2: I agree.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I think it's in well said, man, and good for
- 10:51Speaker 1: you both, Stevens joining us. The chip on the shoulder
- 10:54Speaker 1: came into play in the Senior Bowl of famous play.
- 10:57Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm a father of a former
- 10:59Speaker 1: college offense lineman and like to me, like I'm a
- 11:02Speaker 1: fan of off You don't win every battle, and the
- 11:04Speaker 1: hard thing about an offensive lineman, as you well know,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you didn't give up a sack. I should point out
- 11:08Speaker 1: your last three years. So that's that's first and foremost.
- 11:10Speaker 1: But you will get beat. The only time people notice
- 11:13Speaker 1: you is you guys get beat. You got beaten a
- 11:14Speaker 1: one on one drill. Normally you go to the back
- 11:16Speaker 1: of the line. That's how the rotation works. You said,
- 11:18Speaker 1: screw it, I want to go again. Plus, you were
- 11:20Speaker 1: playing center, so you're snapping the ball and then you
- 11:22Speaker 1: buried the dude on the next play. I know that
- 11:25Speaker 1: got a lot of people's attention. You win some, you
- 11:28Speaker 1: lose some along the way. How important was it for
- 11:29Speaker 1: you to step right back up?
- 11:33Speaker 3: You know?
- 11:33Speaker 5: Like that was my first time really like repping center
- 11:36Speaker 5: in one and once, and so I just kind of
- 11:38Speaker 5: got caught in one of like as you said, like
- 11:41Speaker 5: sometimes you just get beat. I got caught with the
- 11:43Speaker 5: long arm and got a little lost balance, and so
- 11:45Speaker 5: I was like, okay, I don't want people to think
- 11:47Speaker 5: that that's normal. You know, I'll get like completely just
- 11:54Speaker 5: blown backwards. So I was like, okay, let me have
- 11:58Speaker 5: another rep ad this Like I was some place the
- 12:00Speaker 5: guy like I don't understand why he even agreed to
- 12:03Speaker 5: like take the rep again, because he should have known
- 12:06Speaker 5: by them, Like Okay, this guy's this guy's kind of
- 12:09Speaker 5: serious about this, Like you don't you don't piss off
- 12:13Speaker 5: the bear, you know, like that's kind of the thing.
- 12:17Speaker 5: But yeah, No, I just wanted to show, like, okay,
- 12:19Speaker 5: like that I'm playing center for the first time in
- 12:22Speaker 5: the Senior Bowl. I'm snapping and then having to punch
- 12:27Speaker 5: Like it's not what I usually do and it's not
- 12:29Speaker 5: what I've usually done, but I want to show that
- 12:31Speaker 5: like okay, Like it's not about what rep you lost,
- 12:36Speaker 5: it's about how you kind of finished the whole process.
- 12:39Speaker 5: And that's kind of how Iowa's culture is, especially if
- 12:43Speaker 5: watching the Iowa football games, like we're not going to
- 12:46Speaker 5: blow the like the score is not going to be
- 12:48Speaker 5: fifty to nothing first half, like it's usually tight games,
- 12:51Speaker 5: and it's all about being the one that responds and finishes.
- 12:55Speaker 5: And so that's kind of just how I see things,
- 12:57Speaker 5: and that's how I kind of I felt about that.
- 13:00Speaker 5: I was like, Okay, I just want to finish this thing,
- 13:03Speaker 5: show him that, Like okay, I'm not just gonna let
- 13:06Speaker 5: that slide.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I love it you describe yourself as a maller. I'll
- 13:10Speaker 1: wrap it up here in the final thirty seconds. I
- 13:12Speaker 1: love when you said as a guard, I'm a maller.
- 13:14Speaker 1: That's what I want to do. I think what that
- 13:15Speaker 1: Senior Bowl proved as well. What are you looking to
- 13:18Speaker 1: do when you come to Seattle in terms of style
- 13:20Speaker 1: of play?
- 13:22Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, like I get to have this experience
- 13:25Speaker 5: again where I get a tinker on my play style again,
- 13:28Speaker 5: because that's what I had to do for the first
- 13:30Speaker 5: few years Iowa was tinkering from a high school football
- 13:33Speaker 5: player to a college football player. I think I'm always
- 13:37Speaker 5: going to be that run game heavy type guy where
- 13:41Speaker 5: he really appreciates whenever we just get down and berry
- 13:43Speaker 5: and in between the lines, you know.
- 13:46Speaker 2: But I think there's.
- 13:48Speaker 5: More of that technical aspect of past pro that isn't
- 13:53Speaker 5: as emphasized Iowa football just because we don't throw the
- 13:56Speaker 5: ball fifty times a game. But I'm going to have
- 14:00Speaker 5: enjoyment and fun like experiencing and learning from these older
- 14:03Speaker 5: guys and knowing that in the NFL, like they passed
- 14:08Speaker 5: the ball a lot more and this is going to
- 14:10Speaker 5: become more prevalent, and so that full experience of being
- 14:13Speaker 5: able to tinker my play style not just a run
- 14:16Speaker 5: moller with a very simple set, but also has like
- 14:21Speaker 5: a couple more tools in the back, you know, when
- 14:23Speaker 5: it comes to pass pro boll.
- 14:26Speaker 1: I love the story. Seayork fans do as well, and
- 14:29Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed this conversation. We do this often and
- 14:31Speaker 1: talk to guys. I look forward to meeting you in
- 14:34Speaker 1: person and again getting to see you play and coming
- 14:37Speaker 1: up this weekend, you're coming up here. We'll see at

- 15:45Speaker 1: Well, let's we're gonna I'm gonna kind of focus obviously
- 15:48Speaker 1: Seattle wise, but also kind of the other two teams
- 15:50Speaker 1: that matter in the NFC West and no Arizona. I'm
- 15:53Speaker 1: not talking about you, althoughy to listen to on your podcast.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I think the consensus was Arizona had about his bat
- 15:59Speaker 1: A draft. I guess as you could have, so good
- 16:01Speaker 1: for them upward and onward. Apparently for the Arizona Cardinals.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Let's start with Seattle. I thought you nailed it, like
- 16:10Speaker 1: you and Sam nailed it because sitting in the room
- 16:12Speaker 1: with John Schneider and Mike McDonald on Thursday afterwards, they
- 16:16Speaker 1: took they took Jadarian Price, but they didn't want to
- 16:20Speaker 1: take him there, And you guys kind of saw it
- 16:22Speaker 1: as well. What'd you make of the fact that Seattle
- 16:24Speaker 1: couldn't get out of that thirty second pick.
- 16:27Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think he was hiding the fact that
- 16:29Speaker 7: he wanted to trade down, accumulate more picks and end
- 16:32Speaker 7: up having to pick at both thirty two and sixty four.
- 16:35Speaker 7: Such as life when you win a Super Bowl, right,
- 16:37Speaker 7: you know, picking at thirty two is not the worst
- 16:38Speaker 7: thing in the world. When you know what just happened,
- 16:40Speaker 7: But yeah, I think in an ideal world, I think
- 16:43Speaker 7: every team would rather take their preferred player ten picks later.
- 16:46Speaker 7: But you know, I just didn't. I think he mentioned
- 16:50Speaker 7: all of the teams ahead of him. They all traded,
- 16:53Speaker 7: I mean everybody from like twenty six, twenty five, all
- 16:56Speaker 7: the way to thirty one. There were trades left and right,
- 16:59Speaker 7: so there was a lot of movement at that point.
- 17:01Speaker 7: I think they just ran out of trade partners and
- 17:03Speaker 7: teams that wanted to trade up. Titans had moved up
- 17:05Speaker 7: to thirty one right in front of them, and I
- 17:07Speaker 7: think they just they just ran out of people to
- 17:10Speaker 7: trade with and ended up taking price. Who I know
- 17:12Speaker 7: some people had in some preseason mocks, but just filled
- 17:14Speaker 7: the need and got their running back and got out
- 17:17Speaker 7: of there.
- 17:17Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I think they kind of got caught in the wake, right,
- 17:20Speaker 1: like a boat. They just got caught in the wake
- 17:22Speaker 1: there and there was nothing to do. San Francisco moving
- 17:24Speaker 1: down not once, but twice. That's a very John Schneider
- 17:27Speaker 1: like move that John Lynch pulled off. And you know
- 17:29Speaker 1: they said he said afterwards, I mean he you know,
- 17:32Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the quote and you
- 17:33Speaker 1: got his thirty two teams to worry about, but his
- 17:35Speaker 1: he told us afterwards, he said, yeah, there's no we
- 17:37Speaker 1: wanted to move down. We thought we had something going
- 17:39Speaker 1: and couldn't do it. I think they felt I think
- 17:41Speaker 1: they felt like they could get that player in Price
- 17:44Speaker 1: just in the second round. I think that was kind
- 17:47Speaker 1: of their whole their whole thought process there, and it
- 17:49Speaker 1: didn't work out, but they got the player they liked.
- 17:51Speaker 1: So let's talk about the player. Jadarian Price number two
- 17:53Speaker 1: running back at Notre Dame, but the number two draft pick.
- 17:55Speaker 1: As far as running backs as well.
- 17:58Speaker 7: Yeah, he's he's a good runner. I mean, I think
- 18:00Speaker 7: it's a it's a tricky draft for running backs. Last year,
- 18:03Speaker 7: I thought the running back class was loaded. We saw
- 18:05Speaker 7: Jeremiah Love go go super early. We knew Price was
- 18:09Speaker 7: going to be at least in the late first or
- 18:10Speaker 7: the second round mix, and then after that there was
- 18:13Speaker 7: not even a clear running back three.
- 18:14Speaker 2: I liked, you know, Joe.
- 18:15Speaker 7: Nicoleman he goes in the fourth round. I mean, there
- 18:17Speaker 7: was there was not a lot of running back options.
- 18:20Speaker 7: So I think part of the strategy was, Man, you
- 18:23Speaker 7: come in with this massive need at running back, you
- 18:25Speaker 7: at least have to get somebody and they get the
- 18:27Speaker 7: consensus number two running back. I think on a positive sense,
- 18:30Speaker 7: the fact that Price does not have a massive workload
- 18:34Speaker 7: in college I think is huge. You don't have to
- 18:36Speaker 7: worry about the wear and tear. The other thing I've
- 18:38Speaker 7: used in his favor is the fact that Jeremiah Love
- 18:40Speaker 7: we all agree that he's special, like he's He went
- 18:44Speaker 7: in the top ten and went number three for a reason,
- 18:46Speaker 7: just like some of those other guys in recent years
- 18:48Speaker 7: be John Robinson, Ashton genty. But the fact that Jadari
- 18:51Speaker 7: and Price was able to even steal some carries from him,
- 18:54Speaker 7: I think speaks to his talent because if you were
- 18:56Speaker 7: just a college football fan, you'd be saying, why isn't
- 18:59Speaker 7: Jeremiah Love get more, more, more touches here? And it's like, yeah,
- 19:02Speaker 7: because Price can run too, and you saw some big playability.
- 19:05Speaker 2: He's tough to tackle. I think he's got great contact balance.
- 19:08Speaker 7: He's got a couple freakish contact balance plays on film,
- 19:13Speaker 7: good good after contacts both as a runner and as
- 19:15Speaker 7: a receiver, even though he's limited from a you know,
- 19:19Speaker 7: receiving opportunity standpoint. So yeah, I think he's I think
- 19:22Speaker 7: he's aid a solid Ken Walker replacement who's gonna, you know,
- 19:26Speaker 7: run the ball hard between the tackles, a little bit
- 19:28Speaker 7: of big playability, and then we'll see what he can
- 19:31Speaker 7: do from a pass game perspective.
- 19:32Speaker 1: The Seahawks is Steve Pelasula joining us checked the Mic
- 19:36Speaker 1: podcast thirty thirteen. They then, as you mentioned, they couldn't
- 19:39Speaker 1: trade out out of the second round either. They take
- 19:41Speaker 1: that last pick in the second round, number sixty four
- 19:43Speaker 1: overall with Bud Clark. But they get a guy slightly built,
- 19:47Speaker 1: not big. He did came in. He came into us afterwards, Steve,
- 19:50Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, hey, I want to be like
- 19:53Speaker 1: Cam Chancer. I want to be the hammer, not the nail.
- 19:55Speaker 1: He's not built like Cam Chanceller by any stretch of
- 19:57Speaker 1: the imagination. He's about thirty five pounds forty pounds less
- 20:00Speaker 1: than Cam was. But he's kind of built like a
- 20:03Speaker 1: slighter version of Earl Thomas, kind of a ball hawk.
- 20:06Speaker 1: And away we go. Bud Clark is safety from TCU thoughts.
- 20:10Speaker 1: He's a very fun player.
- 20:11Speaker 4: You know.
- 20:12Speaker 2: My podcast partner Sam absolutely loves him.
- 20:15Speaker 7: My notes are kind of fun because I said he
- 20:17Speaker 7: usually takes the most aggressive angle whatever it may be,
- 20:20Speaker 7: and sometimes that means, you know, picking the pass off,
- 20:24Speaker 7: creating a play on a play on the ball. Sometimes
- 20:26Speaker 7: it means overrunning the play. But I also said he's
- 20:29Speaker 7: willing to run through somebody's face. So there's your Cam
- 20:32Speaker 7: Chancellor in him. I think he's I'm fascinated by the two,
- 20:36Speaker 7: the first two Bud Clark and then Julian Neil, the
- 20:39Speaker 7: safety and corner that they got off the board because
- 20:41Speaker 7: they think they add some physicality to the secondary hard
- 20:44Speaker 7: hitting ability that Bud Clark's trying to bring to the table. Again,
- 20:48Speaker 7: he'll leave some tackles on the table. He'll miss some plays,
- 20:50Speaker 7: but he's been a ball hawk, made a lot of plays,
- 20:52Speaker 7: runs for four, a fun coverage player who's been pretty
- 20:56Speaker 7: productive at TCU.
- 20:58Speaker 1: When you watch him play, it feels like versatility is
- 21:01Speaker 1: a key here because you know they lose Kobe Bryant,
- 21:05Speaker 1: still have Julian love Tyle Conna played well for them
- 21:07Speaker 1: last season in that other safety role. And yes, I
- 21:09Speaker 1: guess NICKI Min Worry is listed as a safety, but
- 21:12Speaker 1: we kind of know he's more of a Sam linebacker
- 21:14Speaker 1: and you know big Nickel and all those things. So
- 21:16Speaker 1: where where does Bud Clark, do you think fit in
- 21:18Speaker 1: the Mike McDonald defense.
- 21:21Speaker 7: Well, he played, He played in the box a lot,
- 21:23Speaker 7: he played salot a lot, he played safety. I mean,
- 21:25Speaker 7: he did a little bit of everything. I think it
- 21:27Speaker 7: just adds more versatility. I think he can play.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Again.
- 21:32Speaker 7: He's he's a willing tackler. He'll miss a few, but
- 21:35Speaker 7: he's willing to get in there and mix it up.
- 21:37Speaker 7: So I think he could play in the box a
- 21:38Speaker 7: little bit. I think he's got some range on the
- 21:40Speaker 7: back end. Again, it's just going to be about tightening
- 21:41Speaker 7: up I think his aggressiveness and figuring out the best balance.
- 21:46Speaker 7: But I think he can do a little bit of everything,
- 21:47Speaker 7: and I think that's just another really nice piece to
- 21:50Speaker 7: the defense where the position flexibility just gives McDonald even
- 21:54Speaker 7: more weapons in the secondary.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Steve, you mentioned Julian Neil. Let's talk about him. I'll
- 21:58Speaker 1: tell you this. His post drafted conference call with the
- 22:03Speaker 1: way the Seahawks. They have a speaker phone set up
- 22:05Speaker 1: in the front of where we're all at in the
- 22:07Speaker 1: media room. It's a big it's the big, one of
- 22:09Speaker 1: the big meeting rooms with the team, and we sit
- 22:10Speaker 1: up there and they call in and Julian Neil calls
- 22:13Speaker 1: in and this dude was full. I mean, we were
- 22:16Speaker 1: talking about it. In the seventeen years that John Schneider
- 22:19Speaker 1: has been drafting, and we've done it kind of the
- 22:20Speaker 1: same format.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Guys call in.
- 22:22Speaker 1: I don't ever remember a guy calling in and having
- 22:25Speaker 1: that much swagger, that much just he had a lot
- 22:28Speaker 1: to say, uber confident, called himself the best most physical
- 22:32Speaker 1: corner in the draft, and kind of went on and
- 22:34Speaker 1: on and like not even Richard Sherman had that. And
- 22:37Speaker 1: the funny thing is Steve like Sherman, a converted wide receiver.
- 22:40Speaker 1: But boy, if this guy's game is half of what
- 22:43Speaker 1: his talk is, he's gonna be something else.
- 22:46Speaker 2: It's funny when some of it.
- 22:47Speaker 7: There's some similarities I think between Neil and Bud Clark
- 22:51Speaker 7: because when I was watching him, the same thing like
- 22:54Speaker 7: ballhawk wants wants the ball. He's got great length, and
- 22:57Speaker 7: I think when you look at what they're losing and
- 23:00Speaker 7: Reek Wollan and how they're you know, a couple of
- 23:02Speaker 7: their corners are on the smaller side. I think he
- 23:04Speaker 7: just adds a different dynamic to the secondary with his size.
- 23:07Speaker 7: As you know, over thirty three h arms, you know,
- 23:08Speaker 7: throw back to the old school Seattle three type of
- 23:11Speaker 7: body types like Greek Wollan was. And then he wants
- 23:14Speaker 7: the ball and he takes chances on the ball and
- 23:16Speaker 7: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work. But he's aggressive,
- 23:20Speaker 7: just like Bud, and I think there's an element of
- 23:22Speaker 7: they've got this raw talent and skills. I think he
- 23:25Speaker 7: runs fast enough, but he's better Neil when he's you know,
- 23:28Speaker 7: keeping contact along the route because he's not gonna he's
- 23:31Speaker 7: not suirm four six range, but he's out about four
- 23:34Speaker 7: to five and you know, probably wants to be a
- 23:37Speaker 7: little bit more physical down the field. But it's interesting
- 23:40Speaker 7: because I think they're both doing whatever they can to
- 23:42Speaker 7: break up passes, to force turnovers and figuring out how
- 23:46Speaker 7: Mike McDonald's gonna maybe temper some of that aggressiveness and
- 23:49Speaker 7: get the most out of them.
- 23:50Speaker 2: But I think Neil's got a lot of tools.
- 23:52Speaker 7: The more I watched him, I was thinking, Yeah, some
- 23:54Speaker 7: teams are gonna love him, you know, his ability to
- 23:56Speaker 7: press and be physical and be physical at the catch point.
- 23:59Speaker 2: So to like about Julian Neal.
- 24:01Speaker 7: He's been of a late bloomer at Arkansas, So see
- 24:04Speaker 7: what they could do with them, But yeah, I thought
- 24:06Speaker 7: that was pretty good, a pretty good pick there.
- 24:08Speaker 2: In the third.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Kind of a weird deal steven later on day three,
- 24:12Speaker 1: so they don't have a fifth or a seventh round pick,
- 24:16Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, John Schneider and I'll
- 24:18Speaker 1: let you just kind of speak to this, because you
- 24:19Speaker 1: guys had a great job articulating on the podcast. That's
- 24:22Speaker 1: what John Schneider kind of got busy. I mean he
- 24:24Speaker 1: traded down for Julian Neil a little bit. That was
- 24:26Speaker 1: one move. But then after that, like day three, It's
- 24:29Speaker 1: funny he walked into the room. We were doing a
- 24:31Speaker 1: radio show at nine and in the morning, and you know,
- 24:33Speaker 1: nine am Pacific, So right when the draft started, they
- 24:35Speaker 1: didn't have a scheduled pick until the sixth round, and
- 24:38Speaker 1: we're kind of waiting to see what they're going to do.
- 24:41Speaker 1: And we got the impression from him just kind of
- 24:43Speaker 1: ambling around trying to kill time, going stir crazy, that
- 24:45Speaker 1: that was it. They weren't going to do anything. About
- 24:47Speaker 1: an hour fifteen minutes later, all of a sudden, they
- 24:49Speaker 1: trade a fourth round pick next year for a fifth
- 24:53Speaker 1: round pick this year to get Bo Stevens, and you know,
- 24:56Speaker 1: obviously trade value maybe isn't there, but they obviously saw
- 24:59Speaker 1: a player they wanted.
- 25:01Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the one thing I'll say next year's class
- 25:04Speaker 7: is the post loaded. Now at the top, it's definitely
- 25:07Speaker 7: loaded with blue chips. I'm not really sure how it's
- 25:09Speaker 7: gonna shake out in the middle rounds, but there's a
- 25:11Speaker 7: chance that's a little riskier where the NFL thought that
- 25:14Speaker 7: this year's draft was a little bit weaker. But Bo Stevens,
- 25:17Speaker 7: I think he brings some guard center versatility. I was
- 25:20Speaker 7: telling on our show the story from the senior ball
- 25:23Speaker 7: where he was playing center.
- 25:25Speaker 2: You know, he played guard at Iowa.
- 25:26Speaker 7: He's playing center and he got smoked by somebody I
- 25:29Speaker 7: want to say Daryl Jackson from Florida State, got absolutely
- 25:32Speaker 7: smoked on a rep on one on ones, and he
- 25:34Speaker 7: got right back up. He grabbed the ball. He said,
- 25:35Speaker 7: let's go. Let's do it again. And when you're doing
- 25:38Speaker 7: one on one reps, it's usually all right, next man up,
- 25:39Speaker 7: the center goes in the right guard than the right tackle,
- 25:41Speaker 7: and it's just they cycle through. But Bo gets up there,
- 25:45Speaker 7: calls him out again. He says, let's go rematch, and
- 25:48Speaker 7: they let him do it, and they go and he
- 25:49Speaker 7: just smoked him and he got his revenge and it
- 25:52Speaker 7: was one to one and the whole offense was going nuts.
- 25:55Speaker 2: I thought it was great.
- 25:55Speaker 7: It was just a great little moment during practice, during
- 25:58Speaker 7: those one on ones where transitioning to center, he's getting
- 26:01Speaker 7: a few reps in a lot of guys do that
- 26:03Speaker 7: at the Senior Bowl, show some guard center versatility, and
- 26:06Speaker 7: I think he immediately showed he could learn from his
- 26:08Speaker 7: mistake and adjust and income right back. So I thought
- 26:11Speaker 7: that was a lot of fun. I think you bring
- 26:12Speaker 7: some rotational value there. And then Andre Fuller in the
- 26:16Speaker 7: seventh was another guy that really showed up in my
- 26:18Speaker 7: draft projection metrics as as a good, solid round seven
- 26:22Speaker 7: type of pick.
- 26:23Speaker 2: So just trying to add some volume. It's good to
- 26:26Speaker 2: just take some shots.
- 26:27Speaker 7: You never know, and if they sneak a backup corner,
- 26:29Speaker 7: a backup guard and special team player or two.
- 26:32Speaker 2: Out of those late rounds, I think those are wins.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the two teams, you know, I mean,
- 26:37Speaker 1: I think it's you know, it's probably safe to say.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I mean, you look through what happened that in the
- 26:42Speaker 1: playoffs last season, and the Seahawks had probably the second
- 26:47Speaker 1: best team in the NFL that they had to deal
- 26:49Speaker 1: with in their own division. So let's talk about the
- 26:51Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams, and especially the Ty Simpson pick, because
- 26:55Speaker 1: that's the one everyone was talking about. They had a
- 26:57Speaker 1: chance to upgrade that defensive line. Ruben Bins, you were
- 27:00Speaker 1: sitting there and you could have paired in with Fisk
- 27:02Speaker 1: and Verse. That would have been terrifying. They had some
- 27:04Speaker 1: of the things they could have done. They went Simpson
- 27:06Speaker 1: instead and a tight end a tackle late. I mean,
- 27:10Speaker 1: it was just an interesting draft. What'd you guys make
- 27:12Speaker 1: of what the Rams did? Yeah, I mean, there's a
- 27:15Speaker 1: lot to talk about on this one. I would say
- 27:18Speaker 1: I think a lot of the public sentiment about McVeagh
- 27:21Speaker 1: was mad.
- 27:21Speaker 7: I mean, there was a lot of overreaction and nonsense
- 27:23Speaker 7: going out there. But I think it was a tactical move,
- 27:26Speaker 7: and I think it's fair to ask both sides of it.
- 27:28Speaker 7: You know, did they sacrifice the next year or two
- 27:33Speaker 7: of having one extra player McKay lemon at receiver, ruben
- 27:36Speaker 7: Bain on the edge, whoever you want.
- 27:38Speaker 2: And they'll be thinking about that.
- 27:39Speaker 7: I mean, I think the fans will be thinking about
- 27:41Speaker 7: that forever, no matter what happens with Ty Simpson. What
- 27:44Speaker 7: if you had one Ruben Bain, what if you had
- 27:46Speaker 7: one Mackay Lemon versus the future? And I think you
- 27:49Speaker 7: have to properly weigh those two things. The two examples
- 27:52Speaker 7: I used on our show, Aaron Rodgers when they drafted
- 27:54Speaker 7: Jordan Love. Let's say they made the best possible pick
- 27:57Speaker 7: and it was wide receiver T Higgins. He was the
- 27:59Speaker 7: next receivers were off the board, and it was a
- 28:01Speaker 7: big need for the Packers That year, well, they lost
- 28:03Speaker 7: in the NFC Championship by five. The following year they
- 28:06Speaker 7: lost in the divisional rounds, both at home. And you know,
- 28:10Speaker 7: would T Higgins have put them over the top for
- 28:12Speaker 7: one last run, one last Super.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Bowl run for Aaron Rodgers? Maybe? Who knows?
- 28:17Speaker 7: And then honestly, wood Packers fans sacrifice that or would
- 28:20Speaker 7: they would they take that in exchange for the security
- 28:24Speaker 7: at the quarterback position that they got by drafting Jordan Love.
- 28:27Speaker 7: And so the the QB side of that's probably the
- 28:30Speaker 7: best case scenario and probably what the Rams are looking for.
- 28:32Speaker 7: Right they take another shot with Stafford year two, whatever
- 28:35Speaker 7: it is, and then you have, you know, year three
- 28:38Speaker 7: of Ty Simpson or year four of Ty Simpson, and
- 28:40Speaker 7: he's been in the system and you just you just
- 28:43Speaker 7: keep it going and you're.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Thinking long term.
- 28:45Speaker 7: But I do wonder along the way, if they lose
- 28:48Speaker 7: close games in the playoffs, are they looking back saying, man,
- 28:51Speaker 7: if we just had one more pass rusher. And it's
- 28:53Speaker 7: not that you're even one player away, it's just what
- 28:56Speaker 7: would one Ruben Bain do for you? What would one
- 28:58Speaker 7: Makai Lemon do? Like, what would that help your depth?
- 29:01Speaker 7: Or just to play here and there along the way.
- 29:02Speaker 7: I think that's a fair question. And the Rams said,
- 29:05Speaker 7: we'll take the long We'll take the long term approach
- 29:08Speaker 7: where we have a great roster right now.
- 29:09Speaker 2: I think they're in great shape for this year. Yeah,
- 29:11Speaker 2: I'm great shape for this year. Yeah. And then just
- 29:13Speaker 2: and but they're taking the long term approach with Simpson.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Well, they addressed their biggest need in the offseason by
- 29:18Speaker 1: signing McDuffie and to get you know, the McDuffie and
- 29:21Speaker 1: Watson additions at the corner of those two guys, I
- 29:23Speaker 1: mean that that helped them a lot of the other guys,
- 29:25Speaker 1: Claire Trouse, Tross, however you want to call it. Daniels Keenan,
- 29:30Speaker 1: any of those guys jump out at you.
- 29:32Speaker 7: Yeah, my draft projection model loves Keegan Tross who's you know,
- 29:37Speaker 7: he was a tackle at Missouri, probably projects inside at
- 29:40Speaker 7: the next level.
- 29:40Speaker 2: Model loved him, Model loved CJ. Daniels.
- 29:43Speaker 7: So I think for third, fourth, fifth, sixth round, they
- 29:46Speaker 7: they usually do a pretty good job of bringing in players.
- 29:48Speaker 7: They've been the best, you know, Day three drafting team
- 29:50Speaker 7: in the NFL for the last decade. That's the one
- 29:53Speaker 7: other piece that we brought up. I know, they traded
- 29:55Speaker 7: a first rounder for Trent McDuffie and he's going to
- 29:58Speaker 7: be there for a few years. But the the Rams
- 30:00Speaker 7: usually draft in volume. That's the other one place where
- 30:03Speaker 7: I think they could be a little bit fragile in
- 30:04Speaker 7: the coming years. They've only drafted like nine times or
- 30:08Speaker 7: ten times the last two years, not a lot, and
- 30:10Speaker 7: that's the type of thing that ends up coming back
- 30:12Speaker 7: to bite two or three years down the road. So
- 30:15Speaker 7: Max Claire at tight end, I like Daniels, Trost, I
- 30:18Speaker 7: like the players that they've brought in, but they've they've
- 30:20Speaker 7: drafted in low volume and taken a chance by you know,
- 30:23Speaker 7: going with Ty Simpson as the long term quarterback option here, All.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Right, we'll wrap it up, Cepels all over this with
- 30:28Speaker 1: the forty nine ers traded down twice all the way
- 30:30Speaker 1: out of the first round. Then the first pick of
- 30:32Speaker 1: the second round they take Deshaun Stribbling, former Wazoo, Oklahoma
- 30:36Speaker 1: State and Ole miss wide receiver. Big guy, not the
- 30:39Speaker 1: best hands if I remember right from my Kuper fandom days.
- 30:43Speaker 1: And then they go from there with an edge rusher.
- 30:44Speaker 1: They get the I think it was the next running
- 30:46Speaker 1: back off the board, right, Kaylon Black from Indiana, and
- 30:49Speaker 1: away we go. What'd you make of what the forty
- 30:51Speaker 1: nine ers did? Well?
- 30:53Speaker 7: They were a hot button issue because they went off
- 30:55Speaker 7: the proverbial consensus board the most. They had the most
- 31:00Speaker 7: surprising picks. I would say in the NFL, is them
- 31:02Speaker 7: the Jaguars and the Texans. Des Stribbling, you know, after
- 31:05Speaker 7: trading down twice, taking him at the beginning of the
- 31:07Speaker 7: second he was thought to be maybe sneaking into the
- 31:09Speaker 7: second round, and he goes at pick thirty three. He's
- 31:12Speaker 7: got speed, he's had size, he's a good player. Just
- 31:15Speaker 7: everybody expected him to go later, interested to see what
- 31:17Speaker 7: the Niners do with him. At the very least they're
- 31:19Speaker 7: adding another difficult cover to Mike Evans, Rocky Piersoll, George
- 31:24Speaker 7: Kittle what they already have there, and they've done a
- 31:26Speaker 7: really nice job developing receivers. They have Juwan Jennings on
- 31:29Speaker 7: his way out, so Stribbling has a pass to the field.
- 31:32Speaker 7: Romelo Height and Grayson Halton I think can both improve
- 31:35Speaker 7: the pass rush. They've been really weak up front, so
- 31:37Speaker 7: it had a lot of injuries last year. But Height,
- 31:39Speaker 7: he's a little bit older, a little bit undersized, but
- 31:41Speaker 7: he's got some juice off the edge. He could challenge
- 31:44Speaker 7: the edge. They don't really have that other than Nick Bosa,
- 31:47Speaker 7: who's been battling injuries, so I think Height adds something
- 31:50Speaker 7: they don't have. And Grayson Halton more of an undersized
- 31:53Speaker 7: interior pass rusher. Again, they got bigger last year and
- 31:55Speaker 7: tried to stop the run with a couple of young
- 31:57Speaker 7: defensive tackles. I think Halton improves their into your pass rush.
- 32:00Speaker 7: So those are intriguing players. Kaylin Black is just the
- 32:03Speaker 7: next in line of Kyle Shanahan, Love's third fourth round
- 32:06Speaker 7: running backs to see if he can develop them.
- 32:08Speaker 2: It doesn't usually work out, so we'll see with Black
- 32:11Speaker 2: this time.
- 32:12Speaker 7: And then I know my guy Sam loved Ephesians price
- 32:15Speaker 7: sock from Washington and his his size, movement skills for
- 32:19Speaker 7: his size, and the way he showed up at the
- 32:22Speaker 7: at the Senior Bowl. So left him as a fourth
- 32:24Speaker 7: round pick as well. So it's an interesting draft, it's
- 32:26Speaker 7: gonna be. It took a lot of heat because some
- 32:28Speaker 7: of those picks were surprising.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Along the way.
- 32:30Speaker 1: I'll wrap it up quickly with this, Steve, just your
- 32:32Speaker 1: your thoughts overall on those three teams in the in
- 32:34Speaker 1: the NFC West, as we now kind of have rosters
- 32:37Speaker 1: fairly complete, we could still see a foul sighting at
- 32:40Speaker 1: Dante Fowler sighting in Seattle for the Seahawks. But when
- 32:43Speaker 1: it's all said and done, pecking orders still kind of
- 32:45Speaker 1: the same. Take your pick pick them between the Rams Seahawks,
- 32:49Speaker 1: maybe the Rams roster slightly ahead and then Seattle San Francisco.
- 32:52Speaker 1: How would you look at it?
- 32:54Speaker 7: Yeah, I try to know my audience, so I'm not
- 32:56Speaker 7: going to come out here and say the Rams are
- 32:57Speaker 7: the favorite area. I would say I was saying that
- 33:00Speaker 7: until the craziest two point conversion in history turns the
- 33:03Speaker 7: division around late last year. So I think the Rams
- 33:07Speaker 7: are in as good a shape as any team in
- 33:09Speaker 7: the NFL. Obviously, Seattle's in the mix too, but I
- 33:11Speaker 7: think Seattle took a little bit more of a depth
- 33:14Speaker 7: hit than the Rams did. The Rams were able to
- 33:17Speaker 7: shore up their secondary made some aggressive moves, So yeah,
- 33:19Speaker 7: I think they're the one two punch obviously in the West.
- 33:22Speaker 7: I would never count the Niners out because even though
- 33:24Speaker 7: I think they've had a couple of years of weaker
- 33:26Speaker 7: drafts and they've got some questions on the defensive line
- 33:29Speaker 7: and changing defensive schemes, and it's just Kyle Shanahan's always
- 33:33Speaker 7: been so good if as long as his starter's healthy,
- 33:36Speaker 7: they've been in the mix.
- 33:37Speaker 2: So it's still a three team race.
- 33:39Speaker 7: And Arizona, even though we didn't love the Jeremiah Love pick,
- 33:43Speaker 7: it's gonna be tough to cover all those guys, and
- 33:45Speaker 7: once they figure out quarterback in the next year or two,
- 33:48Speaker 7: I think they'll be you know, more difficult.
- 33:50Speaker 2: But clearly they're in you know, their number four.
- 33:52Speaker 7: But I think it's pretty close to the top with
- 33:53Speaker 7: those top three teams, giving maybe given the Rams a
- 33:56Speaker 7: slight edge.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Even though I know I'm in Seattle.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I love it. Hey, we appreciate this. We'll look forward
- 34:01Speaker 1: to kind of setting something up in the fall with
- 34:03Speaker 1: you this year and the last year kind of weird,

- 36:42Speaker 1: at one twenty today Greg Cosell his final visit of
- 36:47Speaker 1: the year. Speaking of guys, we love having on. Greg
- 36:50Speaker 1: joins us on Fridays during the football season in the
- 36:53Speaker 1: lead up to the draft and post draft, which would
- 36:55Speaker 1: be today. We have Greg on on Wednesdays and enjoy
- 36:58Speaker 1: his insight and whatever the tape tells us. That's all
- 37:02Speaker 1: he can do, is whatever the tape tells us. We
- 37:04Speaker 1: can get him on in that regard as well. One
- 37:07Speaker 1: forty five kind of a cool thing today with the
- 37:09Speaker 1: Kraken in the city of Kirkland a new venue being
- 37:12Speaker 1: opened as well, so we can we can take a
- 37:15Speaker 1: peek at that. I didn't get to all the texts yesterday.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I'll just I'll wrap up our NBA conversation. Andrews and
- 37:21Speaker 1: I were kind of doing that as we're waiting for
- 37:22Speaker 1: both Stevens, and then he called in the feedback. Even
- 37:28Speaker 1: our guy Mike Benton does a great job of posting
- 37:30Speaker 1: stuff on social media, and I just looked at some
- 37:32Speaker 1: of the feedback from like Instagram and other places. I
- 37:37Speaker 1: think we're all on the same page. No, no, no, no,
- 37:41Speaker 1: on any thought that this knucklehead would bring the Portland
- 37:45Speaker 1: Trailblazers here, like just that's a that's a non starter
- 37:49Speaker 1: for everybody, I think, And I think that's the that
- 37:52Speaker 1: seems to be a consensus. We don't agree on a
- 37:54Speaker 1: lot of things anymore in this world. But if Tom
- 37:57Speaker 1: Dundan decides he wants to bring the Blazers here or someone, yeah,
- 38:02Speaker 1: it's just no. And I just think it's such a
- 38:05Speaker 1: long shot. I don't think it would ever happen. And
- 38:08Speaker 1: then anytime I think things like that, I go to myself.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Well wait a second, hmm, let me think Check's notes. Yes,
- 38:15Speaker 1: forty one years and the Sonics left, so he may
- 38:19Speaker 1: try to move that basketball team. And he is a
- 38:23Speaker 1: cheap skate, make no bones about it.
- 38:25Speaker 9: He's pretty public.
- 38:27Speaker 2: I just I.
- 38:29Speaker 10: He No.
- 38:32Speaker 4: I think my.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Bigger issue is, and this is just goes back bigger picture.
- 38:35Speaker 1: NBA the people they let in their club is just odd.
- 38:40Speaker 1: You know, in reality, Clayton Bennett didn't have the financial
- 38:45Speaker 1: wherewithal still really doesn't. I mean, they've got some building
- 38:48Speaker 1: issues there in Oklahoma City. Winning helps, selling out games helps,
- 38:51Speaker 1: and really the media, right steel helps. The NBA has
- 38:55Speaker 1: probably the second most lucrative behind well not probably, they
- 38:58Speaker 1: do the second most lucrative television and media rites steal,
- 39:01Speaker 1: behind only the NFL. So you're able to, you know,
- 39:03Speaker 1: get some people in there that probably wouldn't be that way.
- 39:06Speaker 1: I heard Softy and Fame yesterday talking about the Seahawks situation,
- 39:09Speaker 1: and would Jody and have any say over it? I don't.
- 39:13Speaker 1: I think the answer is no. My understanding is and
- 39:15Speaker 1: this is even how like this is how the Sonic
- 39:19Speaker 1: situation is working out. Perhaps the league's broker those deals.
- 39:25Speaker 1: You know Tom Dundon, his deal would have been broker
- 39:28Speaker 1: by the NBA. And that's how it works. They go
- 39:32Speaker 1: through there is it the highest bid, it's it's what
- 39:35Speaker 1: the league owners want. There's an ownership committee and they
- 39:37Speaker 1: decide who's going to be if there's multiple bid or
- 39:39Speaker 1: they decide and then they bring it to a full vote.
- 39:42Speaker 1: But it is, you know, Softy and Dick brought it up.
- 39:45Speaker 1: I mean there is. You could probably have some trepidation
- 39:48Speaker 1: and wonder whoever it is that they let into the
- 39:51Speaker 1: NFL club and when they when they sell the estate
- 39:53Speaker 1: of Paul Allen's state, will they have the same commitment
- 40:00Speaker 1: to the community or not to tigue in the team
- 40:01Speaker 1: Here the team the Seahawks, we can definitely say aren't leaving,
- 40:05Speaker 1: but would they have the same commitment to excellence in
- 40:08Speaker 1: terms of what they spend in the organization. Now, again,
- 40:11Speaker 1: it's a salary cap league. You're not spending over the cap.
- 40:13Speaker 1: NBA is a little bit different because you can spend
- 40:15Speaker 1: past the cap luxury tax that's a whole different.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Yeah. The argument thing with Dundon and saying that he
- 40:19Speaker 3: wants to put the money and the team on the
- 40:20Speaker 3: ice with Carolina like, yeah.
- 40:22Speaker 1: It's a hard cap. It's a hard cap, and everyone
- 40:24Speaker 1: spends to the cap. They're giving him credit for something
- 40:27Speaker 1: he shouldn't get credit for. No, right, But in the
- 40:30Speaker 1: NFL is the same way, Like you spend to the cap. Basically,
- 40:33Speaker 1: what the NFL does do is like do you spend
- 40:35Speaker 1: money elsewhere? Like everything the Seahawks do was first class,
- 40:39Speaker 1: including renovating the the I mean, they just spent a
- 40:42Speaker 1: ton of money last year, renovating the Virginia Mason Athletics Center, downstairs,
- 40:45Speaker 1: weight room, training facility, all the stuff that you like
- 40:48Speaker 1: if you're ever at the BERM, if you ever go
- 40:50Speaker 1: to a practice at training camp and you look across
- 40:53Speaker 1: towards Lake Washington far right bottom corner of the building,
- 40:56Speaker 1: that was all renovated last year. They spent a lot
- 40:58Speaker 1: of money on that. In terms of how they treat
- 41:00Speaker 1: their employees, how they treat the players, it's all first class,
- 41:05Speaker 1: one thousand percent first class. I mean, LUNs told us
- 41:07Speaker 1: stories about what it was like with the Raiders in Oakland.
- 41:09Speaker 1: It was no good, right, So yeah, you do hope
- 41:11Speaker 1: that they keep that same level because that also helps
- 41:14Speaker 1: attack free agents, not just because what you pay him,
- 41:16Speaker 1: but also because what the facility is like and how
- 41:17Speaker 1: are they treated. That stuff all gets around. So a
- 41:20Speaker 1: Tom Dunden buying the Seahawks would be a little bit
- 41:23Speaker 1: of a terrifying thought. I would hope the NFL will
- 41:25Speaker 1: be doing a better job than the NBA seems to do.
- 41:27Speaker 1: I think the NBA just like, yeah, well they're not
- 41:30Speaker 1: going to bring him in. But I mean it's just like,
- 41:32Speaker 1: just don't bring that him. Yeah, in terms of bigger picture.
- 41:36Speaker 1: All right, well, come back, we'll wrap up our conversation.
- 41:39Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about what we heard from
- 41:40Speaker 1: both Stevens and then get ready for Greg Cosel coming
- 41:42Speaker 1: up next.

- 42:10Speaker 2: Okay.
- 42:11Speaker 1: NHL Oilers and Bruins stave off elimination with wins last
- 42:14Speaker 1: night in the Stanley Cup Finals. Bruins doing it in
- 42:16Speaker 1: overtime on the road in Buffalo.
- 42:18Speaker 6: Ooo Ooo.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Oilers just boat raced Anaheim score score may not look
- 42:27Speaker 1: that way. Boo. They were up three to nothing on

- 42:43Speaker 1: seventy six or still alive. With the win versus Celtics,
- 42:45Speaker 1: Jess will say, boom, Boston still leaves that serious. Three
- 42:47Speaker 1: games to two.
- 42:51Speaker 5: They had that.
- 42:52Speaker 10: NBA I still think is a more of an entertainment product.
- 42:56Speaker 10: It doesn't surprise me that that happened because the Celtics
- 42:58Speaker 10: were winning the entire game.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Oh what are you saying? It's fricks? Are you saying
- 43:02Speaker 1: it's fixed? Yes, you're thanking.
- 43:03Speaker 9: You're saying it is an entertainment product. The longer the

- 43:10Speaker 1: Wow. That sounds like Mike talking.
- 43:12Speaker 2: I like it.
- 43:12Speaker 4: I like it.
- 43:13Speaker 2: It was a fix.

- 44:16Speaker 1: on Friday to do the show first day of Ricky
- 44:18Speaker 1: Mini Camp. So looking forward to that great weather, awesome
- 44:21Speaker 1: shows of Lake Washington. Doesn't get any better than that.
- 44:23Speaker 1: So we'll be out there for that. Fun to get
- 44:26Speaker 1: to know these guys. Some guys are you know, made
- 44:28Speaker 1: for the microphone. I can't wait till someone gets Julian
- 44:31Speaker 1: Neil on the mic live. That'll be fun. That's our
- 44:35Speaker 1: you know, everyone wants julian Neal. He's really good. We
- 44:41Speaker 1: had Jadarian Price was a really good interview last Friday.
- 44:44Speaker 1: You and I did the Bo Stevens thing. He's a
- 44:50Speaker 1: he's a really I'm gonna use a coselle. This is
- 44:52Speaker 1: a co Celle term. He's an intriguing prospect. The reason
- 44:57Speaker 1: he went in the fifth round is because the things
- 45:01Speaker 1: like arm length, athleticism, and hand size all worked against him.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Now he's a big dude, but the things that worked
- 45:10Speaker 1: against him pushed him down. Seattle though, keeping in mind this,
- 45:14Speaker 1: Seattle traded a fourth round pick next year and what's
- 45:17Speaker 1: supposed to be a deeper draft to go get this
- 45:19Speaker 1: guy in the fifth round, which just tells you a
- 45:22Speaker 1: lot about He's six six three point fifteen, so when
- 45:24Speaker 1: you look at him, when you lay eyes on him,
- 45:26Speaker 1: you go, that's a big man.
- 45:28Speaker 6: He is.
- 45:29Speaker 1: The problem is literally the short arms and bad hands
- 45:32Speaker 1: or shorter as smaller hands. I I always snuffed that
- 45:37Speaker 1: stuff off. I thought that was the biggest crock of
- 45:40Speaker 1: you know what in the world. Last Thursday, after day
- 45:45Speaker 1: one of the drafts, Hume Millen and I went to
- 45:47Speaker 1: Dinos for a second, had a quick pause second. It
- 45:50Speaker 1: just literally was the minute it was that. It might
- 45:55Speaker 1: have been an hour, but just we've done that. It's
- 45:59Speaker 1: kind of little tradition. We go there. Might have had
- 46:02Speaker 1: Hugh's favorite drink, which I'll keep to myself, but we
- 46:05Speaker 1: h But we had fun and we were talking and
- 46:08Speaker 1: actually my son showed up, and I do like watching
- 46:11Speaker 1: that interaction. Hugh called Keith for last I think it
- 46:16Speaker 1: was it was in the fall, Yeah, it was in
- 46:17Speaker 1: the fall. It was during they had a show. There
- 46:20Speaker 1: was some argument about with Softy and Fame about the
- 46:24Speaker 1: drop depth of DMan Williams and how far he was
- 46:27Speaker 1: dropping in the pocket for Washington and it was causing
- 46:30Speaker 1: problems for the offensive line. And if it's a six stets,
- 46:33Speaker 1: seven step drop, nine step drop. Okay, what does it
- 46:36Speaker 1: do for the tackle? All this they were on the
- 46:38Speaker 1: phone for over an hour. Keifer was he walked upstairs
- 46:41Speaker 1: he were on the and he came down and goes,
- 46:43Speaker 1: that was so much fun talking ball with you. And
- 46:46Speaker 1: I talked to you later. I was like, yeah, so
- 46:49Speaker 1: Keeper had a class, and I know I talk about
- 46:52Speaker 1: my kid a lot. I'm sorry, but that's just it's
- 46:53Speaker 1: just he had a class on Thursday night. He was
- 46:57Speaker 1: driving down four oh five. I say, swing by, say
- 46:58Speaker 1: how to you in person? So we did, and the
- 47:01Speaker 1: two of them lectured me on the on the arm length,
- 47:04Speaker 1: but with a demonstration in dinos on arm length, which
- 47:08Speaker 1: was just sensity. Came on so good. It was so good.
- 47:16Speaker 1: But I came away going, Okay, I see it.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Now.
- 47:21Speaker 1: Arm length means a lot. Now not as much for
- 47:24Speaker 1: a guard as a tackle, but it still means a lot.
- 47:30Speaker 1: Also for a corner. You always heard about the Seahawks
- 47:32Speaker 1: and they drafted the corners and Pete Carroll had to
- 47:34Speaker 1: have a certain right arm length. They're showing me these things. Okay,
- 47:40Speaker 1: you do this, you turn here, you do that. I
- 47:42Speaker 1: even did it at home with KEI for later that night.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Like so really like this he goes no watch and
- 47:46Speaker 1: that one inch when you're reaching out on a pass
- 47:49Speaker 1: block or if you're trying to redirect on somebody in
- 47:51Speaker 1: press or whatever, it means a lot. There is a reason.
- 47:55Speaker 1: And really, if I would have used it just a
- 47:58Speaker 1: little bit of common sense, just a little bit, I
- 48:03Speaker 1: probably would have figured out that, Okay, they're spending all
- 48:07Speaker 1: of this effort to measure everyone's arm length and hand size,
- 48:12Speaker 1: it must mean something. But I needed to have the demonstration,
- 48:15Speaker 1: and I'm glad I did. It was a really it
- 48:17Speaker 1: was really cool to see, Like it's amazing, like how
- 48:20Speaker 1: long like arms blah blah blah, all this stuff. Like
- 48:26Speaker 1: I kind of thought always, I mean, my kid's a
- 48:28Speaker 1: small college guy, but always thought he was kind of
- 48:29Speaker 1: more looks like a little bit it could have been
- 48:31Speaker 1: a guard. Sure, his arm length helped him. That's why
- 48:33Speaker 1: he's a tackle. Not the biggest dude in the world,
- 48:36Speaker 1: but his arm length helped him. And when you turn
- 48:38Speaker 1: the corner all those things. The thing with Bo Stevens
- 48:41Speaker 1: is so his arm length and that stuff. Short, big
- 48:44Speaker 1: bodied guy can be a maller. Doesn't get to that
- 48:47Speaker 1: second level fast enough. Now, I'll be curious to see
- 48:51Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you about this, especially as we
- 48:54Speaker 1: get to training camp. Like I never felt like Anthony
- 48:57Speaker 1: Bradford was a get to the second level quick enough guy.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Anthony Bradford had a really damn good Super Bowl, Like
- 49:02Speaker 1: didn't have a great NFC Championship game, but had he
- 49:05Speaker 1: had himself a Super Bowl and a good one at that.
- 49:10Speaker 1: So what is there with you know, with Stevens. Can
- 49:15Speaker 1: he get to that second level? Can he overcome the
- 49:17Speaker 1: physical shortcomings which are really just short, short arms by
- 49:22Speaker 1: in short inch whatever it might be, There's no doubt
- 49:25Speaker 1: when you're an All American guard at Iowa you can
- 49:28Speaker 1: play at the high college level. Didn't give up a
- 49:32Speaker 1: sack in his last three years. I didn't get into
- 49:35Speaker 1: it with him. Was healthy for the first time. He
- 49:38Speaker 1: missed games in his like he red shirted his first year,
- 49:43Speaker 1: missed one game as a red shirt freshman in twenty twelve,
- 49:46Speaker 1: but did start ten out of twelve games, so he
- 49:49Speaker 1: was a starter as a freshman. As a red shirt
- 49:51Speaker 1: freshman sophomore year, he missed eight games with an injury,
- 49:56Speaker 1: only played five, so that was tough then and He
- 50:00Speaker 1: was the comeback Player of the Year for Iowa in
- 50:02Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. He still missed a couple of games,
- 50:05Speaker 1: but he started eleven, played eleven away. We went same
- 50:08Speaker 1: thing his senior year thirteen to thirteen, and really his
- 50:11Speaker 1: senior year was the only time he was one hundred
- 50:13Speaker 1: percent healthy. Yeah, so healthy short arms. Probably the big
- 50:17Speaker 1: reason why that this guy didn't get drafted. Wasn't always healthy,
- 50:20Speaker 1: but when he was healthy, really really productive, like really
- 50:24Speaker 1: really productive.
- 50:25Speaker 3: Now that you say that, I really want to see
- 50:26Speaker 3: a film breakdown of both Stevens from Keefer.
- 50:30Speaker 1: I would love to see that. All right, well, we'll
- 50:32Speaker 1: work on that. Yeah, let's do it. Maybe in the
- 50:34Speaker 1: same room as well. He's a little oh god, maybe
- 50:41Speaker 1: you know what I'll ask you. Maybe Hugh could get
- 50:43Speaker 1: on the they can get on some sort of you know,
- 50:45Speaker 1: talk or zoom or something like that.
- 50:47Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
- 50:48Speaker 1: And the other thing that you mentioned that is like,
- 50:50Speaker 1: because what would happen if let me just say this,
- 50:52Speaker 1: what would happen if both Stevens comes in and wins
- 50:54Speaker 1: a job from Anthony Bradford, Then like wins the job,
- 50:58Speaker 1: They're not going to give it to him, No, Chris
- 51:00Speaker 1: and Haynes couldn't win it from him, Mason Richmon couldn't
- 51:02Speaker 1: win it from him. Brice Cable nehwe couldn't win it
- 51:04Speaker 1: from him. What if this guy comes in and wins,
- 51:07Speaker 1: then how much better do you feel about your offensive line?
- 51:09Speaker 1: And that's again I think Bradford takes a lot of
- 51:12Speaker 1: crap in this town. And again he's arguably and he
- 51:16Speaker 1: brought brings us up by PFF and other standards. He's
- 51:19Speaker 1: the worst player out of twenty two starters on the
- 51:21Speaker 1: team in terms of greats. But that's like, it's comparative,
- 51:23Speaker 1: it's relative. You have a lot of really good players, right,
- 51:26Speaker 1: but he's also a bottom one of the bottom guards
- 51:28Speaker 1: in terms of the league as well. Right, what if
- 51:31Speaker 1: you had a guy come in and beat him out? Now,
- 51:33Speaker 1: how well do you how much do you feel better
- 51:34Speaker 1: about that offensive line? It's like, Okay, that was on
- 51:37Speaker 1: maybe one little bit of a weak spot. Now we
- 51:38Speaker 1: got a guy that came in and won the job.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Because again they're not going to give it him, right
- 51:40Speaker 1: fifth thro and PI, They're not just gonna hand it
- 51:42Speaker 1: to him. No, be awesome. Then you have a first
- 51:44Speaker 1: year guy at right guard, second year guy at left guard,
- 51:48Speaker 1: third year guy at center, all under manageable contracts, and
- 51:52Speaker 1: your two tackles both have what four years left on
- 51:55Speaker 1: their deal starting this year, right, you'd feel really really
- 51:59Speaker 1: good about where you are as an offensive line.
- 52:00Speaker 3: The one kind of caveat to that is, I feel
- 52:02Speaker 3: like we had these same conversations with Christian Haynes, Olu Luwa, Timmy,
- 52:06Speaker 3: and that's we're drafted in that same area.
- 52:08Speaker 1: And here's the key.
- 52:09Speaker 2: That is the key.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Andrews is a great point. Christian Hayes was a third
- 52:12Speaker 1: round pick. Yeah, he's been given every opportunity to win
- 52:16Speaker 1: a job. Never has I think he's in a roster
- 52:18Speaker 1: I think he's in a roster fight. Yeah, Like I
- 52:20Speaker 1: don't think it's given this guy makes the team. I
- 52:23Speaker 1: think that's a I think that's very much on the
- 52:25Speaker 1: table that Christian Haynes does not make the football team
- 52:28Speaker 1: next year. I think you can go younger, and I mean,
- 52:32Speaker 1: what's just keep on your Richmond's and Cable dues and
- 52:36Speaker 1: whatever else the Bo Stevens of the world. But you'd
- 52:38Speaker 1: feel a hell of a lot better, would you, not, YEA,
- 52:41Speaker 1: If all of a sudden you just like, Okay, what
- 52:42Speaker 1: was our week'sbout. Well, we just had a guy come
- 52:43Speaker 1: in as a fifth round pick. He won the job.
- 52:47Speaker 1: Guy's got the right attitude, been through a lot obviously
- 52:52Speaker 1: as well health wise, all those things. I'm rooting for him.
- 52:54Speaker 1: And that conversation. It is funny, like on the speaker phone,
- 52:58Speaker 1: I don't think you were there yet. You weren't there,
- 53:00Speaker 1: You were there. He was pretty short on the speakerphone.
- 53:03Speaker 1: Just gonna sound like an offensive line. We have him
- 53:05Speaker 1: on now too, like they told her, They told us
- 53:07Speaker 1: we're getting Monoday'm like, okay, that's cool. Well, it wasn't
- 53:10Speaker 1: too excited afterwards, very.
- 53:12Speaker 9: Famely impressed by his ability to have a conversation.
- 53:16Speaker 1: Well, and I take more than anything, he was able
- 53:17Speaker 1: to articulate his issues. Yeah, which I really like. That's
- 53:20Speaker 1: very impressive. Okay, what do you got?
- 53:22Speaker 9: I have money to give away?
- 53:24Speaker 10: Way, Yeah, apparently they don't give it to us, but
- 53:26Speaker 10: they give it to nobody else they don't anyway. Grand

- 55:02Speaker 1: All right, welcome back in here we go. It is
- 55:04Speaker 1: time to talk to Greg Cosell. Our final visit, regular

- 55:10Speaker 1: NFL Draft, and he is with us. Big thanks as
- 55:13Speaker 1: always to Greg for jumping on and joining us. Our

- 55:30Speaker 1: Burger's post game at the Hall. All right, Greg, let's
- 55:32Speaker 1: get to it. Draft is over, lots of stuff going on.
- 55:36Speaker 1: You're fired up, Abella, consensus picks and all the grades.
- 55:40Speaker 8: Right, you know, I don't know what that means. I
- 55:45Speaker 8: mean when people say that I get they obviously know
- 55:48Speaker 8: way more than I do. They must know what all
- 55:50Speaker 8: thirty two teams draft boards looks look like. I don't,
- 55:53Speaker 8: so I don't know what that means. You know, it's
- 55:57Speaker 8: a fascinating concept. People with less enri decide that they
- 56:02Speaker 8: have a better idea of what teams should do than
- 56:05Speaker 8: teams who have far more information. It's really a fascinating concept. Dan,
- 56:09Speaker 8: don't you think I do?
- 56:10Speaker 6: I do.
- 56:10Speaker 2: I think.
- 56:11Speaker 1: The one thing we do know with Seattle, though, is
- 56:13Speaker 1: a andcuse. Schneider told us this before the draft, and
- 56:15Speaker 1: he told us after day one they wanted to trade down,
- 56:18Speaker 1: and he told us after day one, Yeah, we tried,
- 56:21Speaker 1: we moved. It was a wild end of the first round, though.
- 56:24Speaker 1: There was all those picks in front of Seattle got
- 56:27Speaker 1: moved at San Francisco, moved down twice to get all
- 56:30Speaker 1: the way out of the first round. So there was
- 56:31Speaker 1: a lot of movement taking place, a lot of things
- 56:33Speaker 1: going on there that kind of, you know, probably threw
- 56:36Speaker 1: a little monkey wrench into what Seattle wanted to do
- 56:38Speaker 1: and what John Schneider wanted to do. But in the
- 56:40Speaker 1: end they do pick thirty second. Overall, we talked about
- 56:43Speaker 1: him before. But let's let's go back and revisit Jidari
- 56:45Speaker 1: and Price.
- 56:47Speaker 8: Yeah, well, the bottom line is they do not have
- 56:50Speaker 8: a number one running back, and even with a healthy
- 56:53Speaker 8: Charvin a, he's not that guy. So Price can be
- 56:57Speaker 8: that guy, especially in their system. You know, you're dealing
- 57:01Speaker 8: with a guy that has a very strong trades profile, size, decisiveness, burst, toughness,
- 57:07Speaker 8: he's competitive. Obviously he was a compliment. He only had
- 57:11Speaker 8: two hundred and thirty three total carries in his last
- 57:14Speaker 8: two years there, so there's not a lot of tread
- 57:16Speaker 8: on the tires.
- 57:18Speaker 6: You know.
- 57:19Speaker 8: Obviously I did not know who was going to draft him,
- 57:21Speaker 8: but I thought that when I watched him. One point
- 57:24Speaker 8: I made was that he showed the desirable combination of
- 57:27Speaker 8: trades that would lead NFL teams to believe he could
- 57:30Speaker 8: be a feature back. And obviously he was drafted more
- 57:34Speaker 8: than likely to be that guy. You don't draft the
- 57:36Speaker 8: back in the first round, you know, not to be
- 57:39Speaker 8: somewhat of a feature back. He's decisive, he's got short
- 57:44Speaker 8: area burst, he's got some explosiveness to him.
- 57:48Speaker 1: And I liked him a lot.
- 57:49Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I came away believing he could
- 57:51Speaker 8: be a feature back and depending on the system, and
- 57:53Speaker 8: I think that's a good system for him. And don't forget,
- 57:56Speaker 8: you know, keep in mind who their new offensive coordinator is,
- 57:59Speaker 8: coordinator as who came from San Francisco.
- 58:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 58:02Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's let's just kind of talk about some of
- 58:06Speaker 1: the things, like he's addressed it. We've talked about it.
- 58:09Speaker 1: We talked to Schneider and Mike McDonald about it. You know,
- 58:11Speaker 1: the one thing he doesn't do is catch the ball
- 58:13Speaker 1: on the backfield. But it's not because he didn't. You know,
- 58:16Speaker 1: he can't. He didn't have a lot of opportunities. How
- 58:19Speaker 1: hard is it for you, How hard is it for
- 58:21Speaker 1: you to evaluate a guy like this who's playing behind
- 58:23Speaker 1: the number three pick in the draft.
- 58:26Speaker 8: Well, all you can say is you didn't see it
- 58:27Speaker 8: on tape. I would never say he can't do it.
- 58:30Speaker 8: That's not what he was asked to do with Notre Dame.
- 58:32Speaker 8: It wasn't necessary because Jeremiah Love is a terrific receiver
- 58:36Speaker 8: and Jeremiah Love was one of those backs that you
- 58:38Speaker 8: could detach from the formation and run wide receiver routes.
- 58:42Speaker 8: So Price was not asked to fill that role. Because
- 58:45Speaker 8: I'm just sitting in my office at Films and not
- 58:47Speaker 8: going to a pro day or not working him out.
- 58:50Speaker 8: It's very possible he's got good hands. I don't know
- 58:53Speaker 8: the answer to that, so I wouldn't say he can't
- 58:55Speaker 8: do it. I would just say I didn't see it
- 58:57Speaker 8: on tape. It's very possible he does have at hands.
- 59:01Speaker 8: But as far as the running part, I liked him
- 59:06Speaker 8: a lot. I mean, you know, is he is he
- 59:08Speaker 8: a shifty, elusive type runner. No, he's probably more straight
- 59:12Speaker 8: line linear, but he's physical, he's tough. He's a sustaining
- 59:18Speaker 8: type back and that's really what you know that offense demands,
- 59:22Speaker 8: and certainly with Brian Flirty there now is the OC
- 59:25Speaker 8: coming from San Francisco. Look, he's got really good competitive
- 59:29Speaker 8: toughness price and that's what you love about him. I mean,
- 59:32Speaker 8: this guy gets hard yards.
- 59:33Speaker 1: The uh, the like, the ability to read you can
- 59:36Speaker 1: see that on tape though, right to read the holes.
- 59:40Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean he's you know, when you're a back,
- 59:44Speaker 8: normally in run games, what what what you coach is
- 59:46Speaker 8: the first two steps, because you have to start a path.
- 59:49Speaker 8: You have to start the path based on what the
- 59:52Speaker 8: run call is and how it's going to be blocked.
- 59:56Speaker 8: But after you take your first two steps, what happens
- 59:58Speaker 8: is gaps change. The term I use for that is
- 1:00:01Speaker 8: gaff fluidity. There's defensive flow. The blocking then reacts to that.
- 1:00:07Speaker 8: So you then have to have the ability after those
- 1:00:09Speaker 8: first two step steps to read how the blocks match
- 1:00:13Speaker 8: the the gaff fluidity and the defensive flow.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: And you know he was good at that, all right,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: Greg Cosell joining was brought to bet the holl of you.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: Let's get the Bud Clark TCU safety that's kind of
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: all over the field. You know, they lost obviously Kobe Bryant.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: You know people would just say, hey, they drafted a safety.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: He's a replacement for Kobe Bryant. Feels like he's a
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: different player than Kobe Bryant. What do you see with
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Bud Clark.
- 1:00:35Speaker 8: Yeah, Clark's a fascinating player. He played both in the
- 1:00:38Speaker 8: slot and at safety for TCU, But to me, he's
- 1:00:41Speaker 8: a safety. He's six, he's kind of long, sinewy, he's
- 1:00:45Speaker 8: a little thin. He ran really well, He tested really
- 1:00:48Speaker 8: well at the combine. He's got great length, great range,
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: so you know he can match up in the slot.
- 1:00:56Speaker 8: But that's really not I think what they what they
- 1:00:59Speaker 8: drafted him to do. Who you know, but he's he's
- 1:01:02Speaker 8: one of those really rangy guys. He's very fluid in
- 1:01:06Speaker 8: his movement. He's got really long strides. He eats upground easily.
- 1:01:11Speaker 8: I think he easily transitions as a back end safety.
- 1:01:14Speaker 8: And I think he could even play snaps a post
- 1:01:16Speaker 8: safety because he's so long and rangy in his movement.
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: So even though we.
- 1:01:21Speaker 8: Played a ton of slot at TCU, again without you know,
- 1:01:26Speaker 8: being in John Schneider's head or Mike McDonald said, I
- 1:01:29Speaker 8: would think they drafted him to be a safety in
- 1:01:31Speaker 8: their scheme.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: You and I talked a lot last year about Tyle
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Cotta and his development in stepping in at times for
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: Seattle to a safety position. Is Bud Clark similar to
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: Tylecotta at all?
- 1:01:45Speaker 8: He's a different kind of player. Kotta, we all agree,
- 1:01:49Speaker 8: played very well, but Clark's just a looser, more fluid
- 1:01:53Speaker 8: athlete with more range. So, you know, again Ocatta is
- 1:01:57Speaker 8: still there and losing Brian, you would have sumo Cotta
- 1:02:01Speaker 8: gets the first opportunity. You know, he played what seven
- 1:02:04Speaker 8: eight games where he started something like that and did well.
- 1:02:07Speaker 8: But Clark's a different player and you know, I hate
- 1:02:11Speaker 8: the term he's around the ball because you know, sometimes
- 1:02:14Speaker 8: I think to myself, well, where else is he supposed
- 1:02:17Speaker 8: to be? Is he supposed to be in the parking lot?
- 1:02:19Speaker 8: I mean, you know, but the fact is is he
- 1:02:21Speaker 8: did make a lot of interceptions in college.
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:02:24Speaker 8: Some interceptions occurred because they're just bad throws.
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:02:27Speaker 8: Others occurred because he's just playing his responsibility and the
- 1:02:30Speaker 8: balls thrown to him. You know, but he did make
- 1:02:32Speaker 8: a lot of interceptions. He can't catch the football, but
- 1:02:36Speaker 8: he's just kind of a loose, fluid, rangy athlete. He's
- 1:02:39Speaker 8: kind of a fun guy to watch, just because the
- 1:02:40Speaker 8: way he moves.
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: We were talking on draft day when he got selected
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: on that Friday day to the draft with your friend
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: Hugh Millen. You've heard a few Millon before and and
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: you know the respect that Hugh and so many others
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: have for Mike McDonald and his defensive acumen and just
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: what what Mike McDonald brings. And it's like Bud Clark
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: feels like a Mike McDonald guy, Like he okay, like
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: can we do with him?
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:03:01Speaker 11: You know?
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: What can we do with it?
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: Really interesting?
- 1:03:04Speaker 8: If I could expound on that first absolutely happening here
- 1:03:07Speaker 8: Mike McDonald's speak on social media about the NFL and
- 1:03:12Speaker 8: sort of the changing nature of offense, and I think
- 1:03:14Speaker 8: Budd Clark fits this, and I'll tell you why. What
- 1:03:16Speaker 8: McDonald spoke about was the fact that what offensers are
- 1:03:19Speaker 8: doing more and more of is they're able to play
- 1:03:22Speaker 8: with two tight ends and three tight ends and still
- 1:03:26Speaker 8: formationally and route concept wise, play as if they have
- 1:03:30Speaker 8: eleven personnel on the field, meaning three wide receivers. So
- 1:03:33Speaker 8: as a defense, if you do not have to change
- 1:03:36Speaker 8: personnel very often, which they do not have to do
- 1:03:39Speaker 8: because of him and Warri, and theoretically Bud Clark fits
- 1:03:43Speaker 8: that because he could be a safety and a slot
- 1:03:45Speaker 8: if you choose to do that. So now and he
- 1:03:47Speaker 8: whether he's ready to play week one, we can't answer
- 1:03:50Speaker 8: that question, and so you know, I'm not going to
- 1:03:51Speaker 8: go there because we don't know. But once he is ready,
- 1:03:55Speaker 8: now you have two players theoretically, not theoretically, one practically
- 1:04:00Speaker 8: and m and Warri and too theoretically and Clark that
- 1:04:03Speaker 8: you don't have to take off the field because they
- 1:04:05Speaker 8: can be em and Worri can be a linebacker, Clark
- 1:04:07Speaker 8: can be a safety or a slot. You know, now
- 1:04:10Speaker 8: you don't have to worry about how do we match
- 1:04:12Speaker 8: up to a team's personnel. We don't have to start
- 1:04:16Speaker 8: trying to play that matchup game with different personnel and
- 1:04:19Speaker 8: potentially get caught.
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: Greg Coselle joining us, All right, Julian Neal another defensive player, cornerback,
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: taken with a ninety ninth pick, thirty fifth pick in
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: the third round, and Julian Neil's again. They moved down
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: to get him, but they ended up getting a guy.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: That boy.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: He jumped on the conference call with us on Friday,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: and man, this dude was all about Julian Neal. I
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: love the con like you want a cornerback that is confident, Greg,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: this guy is filled with confidence. Probably the most entertaining
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: of those calls we've had in seventeen years of doing
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: that out there at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center. What
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: do you see on tape from Julian Neal.
- 1:04:53Speaker 8: Well, when I saw that they drafted him, I said
- 1:04:55Speaker 8: to myself, that didn't surprise me at all because he's
- 1:04:58Speaker 8: almost six' to. Two he's a, big, long physical CORNER
- 1:05:03Speaker 8: i kept watching him, thinking you, know the one thing
- 1:05:06Speaker 8: he lacks is that great recovery speed you know. About you,
- 1:05:10Speaker 8: know if a guy gets on top of, him he
- 1:05:12Speaker 8: doesn't have that speed that you'd ultimately. Like so can
- 1:05:16Speaker 8: he be beaten over the top of?
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: Times?
- 1:05:18Speaker 8: Yes SO i kept going back and forth watching his
- 1:05:21Speaker 8: tape and, thinking is this guy a press man? Corner
- 1:05:24Speaker 8: which he's very good at by the. Way he's very,
- 1:05:27Speaker 8: physical that's his, game you, know and he, obviously based
- 1:05:30Speaker 8: on what you just, Said i'm sure he feels, Like,
- 1:05:32Speaker 8: MAN i can line up against anybody And i'm just
- 1:05:34Speaker 8: going to beat the crap out of. Him but THEN
- 1:05:36Speaker 8: i thought to, myself is he better off as his
- 1:05:39Speaker 8: zone corner because just that recovery speed is a little.
- 1:05:42Speaker 8: Troublesome but it did not surprise me at, all given the,
- 1:05:47Speaker 8: size the, length the, physicality the. TOUGHNESS i, mean he played.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: The run on the.
- 1:05:53Speaker 8: Perimeter he was a willing and, strong assertive. Tackler you
- 1:05:56Speaker 8: know that means something To mike. McDonald he struck. Me
- 1:06:00Speaker 8: AND i saw that. Pick that was the end of
- 1:06:02Speaker 8: the day day two right?
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: Too yeah, around, yes, Correct. Yeah WHEN i.
- 1:06:06Speaker 8: Saw that, PICK i WAS i was, like, oh that's
- 1:06:09Speaker 8: a seahawk pick and, again whether he's ready to, play you,
- 1:06:12Speaker 8: know week. One who you can never answer those. Questions
- 1:06:17Speaker 8: and you, know because a guy hasn't even been through
- 1:06:19Speaker 8: rookie mini camp, yet you, know so you don't. Know
- 1:06:22Speaker 8: but he just seemed to me to be a Perfect
- 1:06:24Speaker 8: Seattle seahawk type.
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Corner Greg cosel joining us one More seahawks PICK i
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: want to get to and then we'll touch a little
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: bit on The rams and the forty nine ers because
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: what they do certainly matters to us out. Here let's
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: talk about now he's listed as a wide, receiver kind
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: of feels like a special teams. Guy Emmanuel, Henderson junior
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: out Of. Kansas, yeah you, know it's.
- 1:06:46Speaker 8: Funny there's so many, guys as you, know that get,
- 1:06:50Speaker 8: draft and wide receivers are like this in, particular a
- 1:06:52Speaker 8: lot of wide receivers make it and a lot of
- 1:06:55Speaker 8: wide receivers get. Drafted he is, long he's six.' one
- 1:06:59Speaker 8: he can unwell, to me he's a definite. Vertical, dimension
- 1:07:04Speaker 8: now obviously they Re signed shaheed and he's, that Guy
- 1:07:07Speaker 8: but henderson is also a. Vertical dimension he's got the
- 1:07:10Speaker 8: straight line speed to, run by get on top. Of
- 1:07:12Speaker 8: corners i'd say at, this point and the reason he's
- 1:07:15Speaker 8: drafted where he was is because he's probably a little
- 1:07:18Speaker 8: bit of a one trick pony. Right now he, needs
- 1:07:22Speaker 8: coaching he needs repetition to develop into a more complete
- 1:07:24Speaker 8: receiver who can win in. Multiple ways but there's no
- 1:07:28Speaker 8: question that he's got speed and. He's long so, you
- 1:07:32Speaker 8: know when receivers start to get, drafted later ian as you.
- 1:07:36Speaker 8: WELL know, i mean you've been doing this a. Long time,
- 1:07:38Speaker 8: You know i'm not telling you anything you. Don't know
- 1:07:40Speaker 8: it's because there's something about their game that. Needs work
- 1:07:43Speaker 8: and no one comes INTO the nfl as a truly,
- 1:07:46Speaker 8: finished player but as you get later in, the draft particularly,
- 1:07:49Speaker 8: with receivers it's because there's something. About them it could be,
- 1:07:54Speaker 8: one thing, two things, three things but there's something about
- 1:07:57Speaker 8: them that clearly. Needs work, and well he can and
- 1:08:00Speaker 8: it's clearly a. Vertical dimension he needs a lot of
- 1:08:02Speaker 8: work to become a. Complete receiver but there's, something there.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: All Right greg coseel, Joining us let's get to just
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: quickly look at the other two teams, that matter all
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: due Respect. To arizona that'll Be the Rams In. San
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: francisco let's start With. The Rams, ty simpsons the name
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: everyone was, talking about, you know where he, was drafted
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: and the fact they didn't add to a team That's
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: A super bowl contender. Right away they also took a
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: tight End At, Ohio state i'll tackle Out of missouri and.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: So forth so what'd you make of Of the? Rams,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: draft yeah you Know The ty.
- 1:08:32Speaker 8: Simpson, Pick look i've learned over the years at SPEAKING
- 1:08:35Speaker 8: to gms. And coaches you never want to be in
- 1:08:38Speaker 8: a position where you have to draft a quarterback because of. Desperate,
- 1:08:42Speaker 8: need Now the rams are still a very good, football,
- 1:08:45Speaker 8: team obviously could they have drafted someone at thirteen who
- 1:08:50Speaker 8: you know could step in and be. A, Starter perhaps you. Never,
- 1:08:53Speaker 8: know look there's no guarantee with first, round picks no
- 1:08:55Speaker 8: matter what you. KNOW that, i mean how many first
- 1:08:58Speaker 8: round picks percentagewis become, you know. All pros how many
- 1:09:01Speaker 8: first round picks even become truly Contributing starters and the percentages,
- 1:09:06Speaker 8: Are low so you don't know the answer to. That
- 1:09:08Speaker 8: question but you also don't Know When matthew stafford's calling.
- 1:09:11Speaker 8: It quits you don't Know About matthew. STAFFORD'S health, i
- 1:09:14Speaker 8: mean YOU and i can remember, last year even Through,
- 1:09:17Speaker 8: late august there was a question as to whether he'd
- 1:09:19Speaker 8: be ready to play. Week, one obviously he went on
- 1:09:21Speaker 8: to have the best season of, his career and, it's probably,
- 1:09:24Speaker 8: you Know a Hall of fame. Type player but you
- 1:09:27Speaker 8: just don't know the answer, to that and you don't
- 1:09:29Speaker 8: want to. Get stuck and you know it's worked out for.
- 1:09:32Speaker 8: Other teams we saw what's Happened In, green bay First
- 1:09:35Speaker 8: With aaron rodgers who sat for, three years and Then
- 1:09:38Speaker 8: For jordan love who. Obviously sat so you just, you
- 1:09:41Speaker 8: know if you're in desperate mode at the, quarterback position
- 1:09:44Speaker 8: it's a very bad place.
- 1:09:46Speaker 11: To Be.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: The samsrusco forty nine ers traded down twice in the.
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: First round ye they finally take a Pick As. Deshaun
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: stribling we. Know him he started his Career at Wazoo
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: and i'm Going To oklahoma State the mississippi a. Big
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: receiver they took a couple of they took an edge rusher,
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: In height they took the second running back off the
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: board in Black. From indiana would you make it with
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: the With The san francisco forty, nine Ers.
- 1:10:10Speaker 8: Diad what i've been, telling people, you know we're talking
- 1:10:13Speaker 8: to people these last couple. OF days i can only
- 1:10:15Speaker 8: tell YOU how i evaluated. The players, YOU know i don't.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: Get caught UP in.
- 1:10:18Speaker 8: I see, you know someone said All the niners made
- 1:10:20Speaker 8: a bad pickause they could Have, gotten stribbling, you know fifty. Picks,
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: later well how do you? KNOW that, i mean, you
- 1:10:25Speaker 8: know that's an easy thing. To say anybody can say something.
- 1:10:28Speaker 8: Like that, you know as SOON as i, HEAR that
- 1:10:30Speaker 8: i just dismissed that as. Being MORONIC but i Really like,
- 1:10:34Speaker 8: stribling's TAPE and i Really Like keylon black's tape the Runner,
- 1:10:37Speaker 8: from INDIANA and i think he absolutely fits the forty
- 1:10:41Speaker 8: nine ers system really. REALLY well i think he'll end
- 1:10:44Speaker 8: up being their backup, to McCaffrey and at some point
- 1:10:48Speaker 8: McCaffrey they're going to sit him for, two possessions, you know,
- 1:10:51Speaker 8: a game just because of the age and the wear.
- 1:10:53Speaker 8: And Tear but stribling is six to two plus almost
- 1:10:57Speaker 8: two hundred ten pounds a burner and absolute burner runs,
- 1:11:01Speaker 8: by people by, the way a really physical dynamic, blocker
- 1:11:05Speaker 8: two which we know how important that is to this
- 1:11:09Speaker 8: forty nine ers. Run game and it's funny the way
- 1:11:12Speaker 8: he was deployed at ALL miss i came away, Feeling,
- 1:11:15Speaker 8: like wow there's a, lot THERE but i didn't see
- 1:11:17Speaker 8: him work the middle of the field in the context of.
- 1:11:18Speaker 8: Their offense SO what i DID is i actually went
- 1:11:21Speaker 8: back and then and watched all his targets from twenty
- 1:11:24Speaker 8: twenty four when he Was At, oklahoma state and he
- 1:11:27Speaker 8: worked the middle of the field really. Really well so
- 1:11:30Speaker 8: that just enhanced my evaluation. Of HIM and i really
- 1:11:34Speaker 8: really liked his tape. A lot, SO again i don't
- 1:11:37Speaker 8: get caught up and where guys. Get drafted. You Know
- 1:11:40Speaker 8: bill watsh used to talk about this all the time
- 1:11:42Speaker 8: that once the draft, is over it's irrelevant where guys.
- 1:11:45Speaker 8: Get drafted either the guy's going to become a good
- 1:11:47Speaker 8: football player and help your team or not help. Your
- 1:11:50Speaker 8: team the idea that you could have gotten a guy
- 1:11:53Speaker 8: at a, different spot that's just. Banter that, you know
- 1:11:56Speaker 8: people who like to think they're smart say you have
- 1:11:59Speaker 8: no idea. About that you're looking to draft good football
- 1:12:02Speaker 8: players that help, your team, You KNOW and i think
- 1:12:05Speaker 8: that's got to be the approach. To take the consensus doesn't.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Mean, anything WELL and i think with, with well we
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: also FORGET what. I forgot actually for a couple of
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: Days With. San francisco They draft stribbling with their first
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: pick to add the wide, receiver corp which has been
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: an issue WITH the. Auk situation EVERYTHING else. I forgot
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: they tend to. Forget that They Added mike, evans too
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: so they've upgraded their wide. Receiver position.
- 1:12:26Speaker 8: They. Sure haven't and obviously they're Hoping, rookie PEARSALL who
- 1:12:29Speaker 8: i liked a lot coming out and has shown flashes
- 1:12:32Speaker 8: when he's been able. To play they're hoping he can.
- 1:12:34Speaker 8: Stay healthy they Also Signed, christian kirk so they've got
- 1:12:37Speaker 8: A pretty. I think they Still Have, DeMarcus robinson who wherever,
- 1:12:40Speaker 8: he goes he. Catches passes, you know he's never going
- 1:12:43Speaker 8: to catch, seventy balls but he, catches passes, you know
- 1:12:46Speaker 8: as you, well know because he's been IN The nfc
- 1:12:47Speaker 8: west for, you know, A while so, you know they
- 1:12:51Speaker 8: have a pretty deep wide. Receiver room NOW what i.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Don't know if you there's a zillion guys. Out there
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: so if you didn't watch, their tape. That's fine they
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: did draft two Guys from washington, Out Here carver Willis And,
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: price hock. The cornerback did you watch tap on either
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: one of.
- 1:13:04Speaker 8: Those, guys WELL actually i watched, Both Corners tocario Davis And.
- 1:13:08Speaker 8: Price Sock And TOCARIO davis i think went in the
- 1:13:11Speaker 8: third Round, to CINCINNATI and i liked him a little
- 1:13:14Speaker 8: More Than. PRICE sock i think he's a. Little smoother
- 1:13:16Speaker 8: but they're, both long, long athletes and you Know From,
- 1:13:20Speaker 8: richard sherman who was not a, you know four to
- 1:13:23Speaker 8: three seven guy That and i'm not comparing them in
- 1:13:26Speaker 8: terms of what they're going, to be but length is
- 1:13:28Speaker 8: a big deal at the, corner position and it can
- 1:13:31Speaker 8: make up for the fact that if you don't have great,
- 1:13:33Speaker 8: recovery speed, you know with those with a long body and.
- 1:13:37Speaker 8: LONG arms I like davis a, little More But, price sock,
- 1:13:40Speaker 8: to me is a good prospect. AS well i did
- 1:13:43Speaker 8: Not Watch, carver WILLIS so i can't speak, to him
- 1:13:45Speaker 8: but those. Two, Corners look Cincinnati drafted davis in the.
- 1:13:50Speaker 8: Third round third round is not a, throwaway pick so

- 1:15:10Speaker 8: been in a lot. Of places he still has some pass.
- 1:15:13Speaker 8: Rush ability he's not a stiff by. Any MEANS but

- 1:15:21Speaker 8: think so he was definitely top five if memory serves.
- 1:15:23Speaker 8: Me CORRECTLY and i really liked his TAPE and i

- 1:15:29Speaker 8: league and well he's been A really look the guy's

- 1:15:37Speaker 8: i'm just a guy who sits and watch. His tape
- 1:15:39Speaker 8: BUT but i thought he'd really be a more dominant edge.
- 1:15:42Speaker 8: Pass RUSHER but i just remember watching Him at FLORIDA
- 1:15:46Speaker 8: and i thought he really had had. Excellent traits, but

- 1:31:42Speaker 1: get to the draft and. Go into it let me.
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: Let Me start actually i'm gonna start elsewhere. For a
- 1:31:48Speaker 1: second we'll come Back to the. Seahawks and heartbeat we
- 1:31:50Speaker 1: just had great, close cel on We had seat Palozolo
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: on a we're going to put a wrap on all.
- 1:31:53Speaker 1: These things today what was your take first on The forty.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: NINE ers draft.
- 1:32:00Speaker 12: I thought it was one of the three worst in.
- 1:32:02Speaker 12: THE entire league i, DON'T you know i don't really
- 1:32:06Speaker 12: understand what they are. TRYING to Do i think stribbling
- 1:32:09Speaker 12: is a solid player and he might end up being
- 1:32:12Speaker 12: the best, One THEY picked BUT i just i just
- 1:32:17Speaker 12: don't understand why that would be the selection at thirty
- 1:32:19Speaker 12: THREE overall when i see what was still on, the
- 1:32:22Speaker 12: Board There and kaylon black was certainly not my third
- 1:32:26Speaker 12: running back in. THIS draft class i don't think he's.
- 1:32:28Speaker 12: A bad player it just felt like they were drafting
- 1:32:31Speaker 12: a lot of guys several rounds ahead of where. They
- 1:32:33Speaker 12: WOULD go so i even think That what the rams
- 1:32:37Speaker 12: did made more sense than what the forty, nine ers
- 1:32:39Speaker 12: did and that, that's you know that's up for debate
- 1:32:42Speaker 12: with a lot of. People RIGHT now But i just
- 1:32:44Speaker 12: i'm Not Sure what john lynch and those, guys are
- 1:32:46Speaker 12: doing because this is like the fourth Straight year where
- 1:32:49Speaker 12: i've just kind of been, scratching my head like what
- 1:32:51Speaker 12: are they doing?
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: In the draft the forty, nine ERS did and I
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: kind of. I'VE sent it i tend. To forget it
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: They Did, add mike evans which and help fill that receiver.
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: Need as well they find A backup. To christian McCaffrey
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: Did they have have the forty nine ers improved enough
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: in the Offseason to Catch Seattle, AND la no i
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: don't think that.
- 1:33:16Speaker 12: They've done Enough Now getting nick bosa Back healthy and,
- 1:33:19Speaker 12: fred warnerback healthy that's gonna help bridge that gap right
- 1:33:23Speaker 12: for the, Forty nine ers but they're still dealing with
- 1:33:25Speaker 12: the same. Issue Here though Ian like the Seahawks, and
- 1:33:28Speaker 12: the rams like they can absorb. A few injuries the
- 1:33:32Speaker 12: forty nine ers if they if a couple of their,
- 1:33:34Speaker 12: studs GO down like i don't know how they pulled it,
- 1:33:36Speaker 12: off last year but like you put them up against
- 1:33:40Speaker 12: top tier teams and they're not going to be able
- 1:33:42Speaker 12: to hang with them if they miss a few.
- 1:33:44Speaker 1: Of those guys is because they.
- 1:33:45Speaker 12: Haven't drafted, well you know it's A Testament that kyle
- 1:33:48Speaker 12: shanahan has been able to squeeze the number of wins
- 1:33:51Speaker 12: he's been able to squeeze out of that team with
- 1:33:53Speaker 12: the injuries that they've.
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: Had and kept them afloat and the culture.
- 1:33:56Speaker 12: They have there but you eventually reached a point where
- 1:33:59Speaker 12: not having that depth and not having the young guys that.
- 1:34:01Speaker 1: You've developed the, last few years it catches. Up with
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: you and we saw that happen in the. Playoffs, for
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: them well the. Other thing too they do, get for
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: cornerback they do get They do, get bosa back But
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: They have george kittle coming off an, injury as well
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: and you know He's got. THAT achilles Tear I know
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: john lynch said recently they're not sure, when he's back
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: but it doesn't sound like he's going to be back.
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: For training camp and, whenever that happens, A Pup situation
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: zach charbonne will probably be. The same thing it usually.
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: Takes a while we may not see him at the start,
- 1:34:28Speaker 1: of the year so they do take a. Step back
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: there la rams thoughts on. What they did of course
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: everyone's Talking about ty simpson a, smaller draft class but
- 1:34:35Speaker 1: would you think about.
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: WHAT they did.
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: I didn't think that they had a very.
- 1:34:39Speaker 12: Impressive draft either i'm still trying to figure out why
- 1:34:42Speaker 12: they're stockpiling tight ends the way.
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: THAT they are i understand that it's.
- 1:34:46Speaker 12: A valuable position but if you were going to pick,
- 1:34:48Speaker 12: a tight end why didn't You Just pick kenyan tadik in?
- 1:34:51Speaker 12: The FIRST round like i just it keeps going back
- 1:34:54Speaker 12: to the decision to, Pick a quarterback and AS you
- 1:34:56Speaker 12: and i talked about on The, air ON saturday. LIKE
- 1:34:59Speaker 12: i understand i Understand what the rams are, Trying to
- 1:35:02Speaker 12: DO but if i was, a veteran player with how
- 1:35:04Speaker 12: close they are to Being a, SUPER bowl contender i
- 1:35:07Speaker 12: would have Been a furious but they didn't pick somebody
- 1:35:10Speaker 12: that was going to make, an IMPACT now and i
- 1:35:12Speaker 12: don't really think they drafted. Anybody after That Even maybe
- 1:35:14Speaker 12: max claire ends up being a really solid tight, end
- 1:35:18Speaker 12: for them it's just where you're gonna fit him in
- 1:35:19Speaker 12: with the tight ends. They've CURRENTLY got so i thought
- 1:35:23Speaker 12: that they had a very underwhelming.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: DRAFT as well, I, THOUGHT that yeah i think when
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: you The facts like simpson doesn't help you now if
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: he's truly the guy, that you believe, and only honestly
- 1:35:36Speaker 1: none of us know what. McVeigh really thinks he's never.
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: Gonna tell, us you know maybe he has told us
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: and we just, don't BELIEVE him, but, i mean honestly
- 1:35:43Speaker 1: we don't know what He Thinks. OF ty simpson i
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: think what you said is, a, key there though is That,
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: with The rams ty simpson doesn't. Help you today and
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: IF you're a ram veteran and you know that you
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: were a player two Away, from beating seattle and If
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: you beat seattle there's no doubt You Win. The super
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: bowl that was PROVEN and, that i mean you're that,
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: you're that close and you add of you have the
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: thirteenth overall pick and you don't get anything that can help.
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: You right away just, Makes no sense like sidiq would.
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: Have made sense if you're going to take a tight
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: end in The Second Round ruben bain Junior paired With,
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: verse and fisk that would have been terrifying for the REST.
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: OF the nfcu i think that's WHAT they IF i If,
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: i was sneed THAT is what i would have been sprinting.
- 1:36:21Speaker 6: To The.
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: PHONE BAIN jr i. I just don't.
- 1:36:26Speaker 12: I don't UNDERSTAND i, mean i UNDERSTAND and. Yet, i
- 1:36:29Speaker 12: don't yeah if they were if they were a, team
- 1:36:32Speaker 12: that like oh we we barely. Made the, Playoffs You
- 1:36:34Speaker 12: know matt stafford, isn't you know? His plays, declining you
- 1:36:38Speaker 12: know if there were other FACTORS they, like i understand
- 1:36:41Speaker 12: it just is.
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: Baffling to me Let's Talk about, seattle's day three because
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: we talked A lot On thursday and friday about, what they,
- 1:36:49Speaker 1: did You Know with Judarium Price, And Bud. Clark julian
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: neil let's let's talk. About day three, first of all
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: We had both. Stevens on earlier what. A great interview
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: he was just really opened up about HIS struggles with
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: adhd and, mental health issues and then talked about. Why
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: he repped i'm sure you saw the story and the
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: senior bully gets. Beat playing center it never played, center
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: in college but he took, a center, rep got bulldozed
- 1:37:13Speaker 1: and went right back and said let's. Do it again
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: and he did the same thing to. THE same guy i.
- 1:37:17Speaker 1: Love that attitude but let's Start. With both stevens some
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: Thoughts On the All. American, FOR iowa yeah i had
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: a third round.
- 1:37:24Speaker 12: GREAT on him, i YOU know and i remember when
- 1:37:27Speaker 12: the deal happened in the DRAFT room and i kind
- 1:37:31Speaker 12: of came back to your GUY'S table because i, was
- 1:37:33Speaker 12: just like, oh my gosh they're, pulling it off because
- 1:37:36Speaker 12: we Had Just seen john schneider like thirty minutes earlier
- 1:37:39Speaker 12: walking through, the yeah, yeah draft room like he he
- 1:37:42Speaker 12: was like he. Was so bored you just THINK what
- 1:37:45Speaker 12: am i supposed to? Be doing here and then this
- 1:37:47Speaker 12: player falls into. The fifth, Round, It's like okay i've
- 1:37:49Speaker 12: got all these bags of goodies for. TWENTY twenty seven
- 1:37:52Speaker 12: i can give up one of those fourth round picks
- 1:37:54Speaker 12: to go up and. Get this kid but it's rare
- 1:37:56Speaker 12: that you draft a guy That Was an all american
- 1:37:59Speaker 12: in the.
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: Fifth or and he's just he's a really good all.
- 1:38:04Speaker 12: Around football player he might not have, the highest ceiling
- 1:38:06Speaker 12: but he comes in with a pretty high floor Again Being,
- 1:38:09Speaker 12: An ALL american and i just think, in this scheme
- 1:38:12Speaker 12: really really.
- 1:38:13Speaker 1: Good technician in the.
- 1:38:15Speaker 12: Zone blocking, game at minimum he's gonna ramp, up the
- 1:38:19Speaker 12: competition turn at The Heat on anthony bradford, and at,
- 1:38:22Speaker 12: best you know this could be your starter in, twenty
- 1:38:24Speaker 12: twenty seven or maybe he makes things interesting this year
- 1:38:27Speaker 12: because of where he's Coming from in iowa is an,
- 1:38:29Speaker 12: offensive line Factory and the seahawks have been buying and
- 1:38:34Speaker 12: purchasing a lot of linemen from that factory here the.
- 1:38:37Speaker 1: Last few, years, SO well, Yeah, i MEAN stevens, there's
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: i mean the reason he slipped right was just lack
- 1:38:43Speaker 1: of athleticism and the shorter arms and. Things like that
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: so you look at some, of those, numbers those measurables, and,
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: it's like okay you go from being you know what
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: many People As An all american iowa guard that kind
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: of screams No lower, than day two and then he
- 1:38:56Speaker 1: slips into day three. In the round in. The fifth
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: round seattle does. Make that move they traded a fourth
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: round pick next year for a fifth round. PICK this
- 1:39:04Speaker 1: year i think that tells you all you need to
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: know what they. Think, about him.
- 1:39:08Speaker 12: Yeah, that right there and the player himself mentioned how
- 1:39:11Speaker 12: much of a sign of, respect that was how grateful he.
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: Was for that but that tells you all you need
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: to know in terms of going up giving up one.
- 1:39:19Speaker 12: Of those forts in what is supposed to be a
- 1:39:20Speaker 12: much better draft class than the one that, We just
- 1:39:23Speaker 12: saw seattle still has, eleven, picks projected though you go
- 1:39:27Speaker 12: make a move for a guy that you know next
- 1:39:29Speaker 12: year you're gonna have a hard time getting a. GUY like,
- 1:39:31Speaker 12: that i mean maybe you can in the in day
- 1:39:34Speaker 12: three find a, player like that but. IT'S it's, TOUGH
- 1:39:36Speaker 12: i mean i just thought there were some really good
- 1:39:38Speaker 12: players that fell in this draft that, OTHER than measurables
- 1:39:42Speaker 12: i just, really didn't understand and he was.
- 1:39:44Speaker 1: One Of Them, emmanuel henderson junior a Receiver, out of
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: kansas goes in, the sixth round number one. Ninety nine overall,
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: by and large it feels like a special teams player COMING,
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: into the nfl but also. A wide receiver what do
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: you see? From, THIS guy yeah i didn't know.
- 1:40:00Speaker 12: As much about him compared to a Lot of the
- 1:40:03Speaker 12: day THREE receivers that, I looked, at and honestly just,
- 1:40:06Speaker 12: PART of it i just Didn't expect the seahawks to.
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: Pick A Receiver but drek Young.
- 1:40:10Speaker 11: Is.
- 1:40:11Speaker 12: In vegas now this guy is as good of a
- 1:40:13Speaker 12: gunner as you're gonna find in the. COLLEGE football, ranks i,
- 1:40:16Speaker 12: mean he's fast he, gets down field he makes a,
- 1:40:18Speaker 12: lot of tackles so he is a Natural Replacement. For
- 1:40:22Speaker 12: DAREK young but i would, also say this he was
- 1:40:25Speaker 12: in the top fifteen in the Nation according to pro.
- 1:40:27Speaker 12: Football focused charting he was in the top fifteen in
- 1:40:30Speaker 12: the nation for receptions that traveled twenty plus yards, through
- 1:40:34Speaker 12: the air so he's got. Deep ball versatility and he
- 1:40:37Speaker 12: also was in the top fifteen in, yards per reception
- 1:40:40Speaker 12: so there's. Chunk plays there he just couldn't get on
- 1:40:43Speaker 12: The field at alabama with all the stud receivers, They.
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: Have there so he might be a guy out, of
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: the gate, as you know just a.
- 1:40:50Speaker 12: Special teams player but it also looks to me like
- 1:40:52Speaker 12: A Hedge if tory horton can't curb the injury issues that.
- 1:40:56Speaker 1: He's had in college AND. In the nfl of, The
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: Two cornerbacks Andre Fuller and michael dansby both, seventh round
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: picks which guy jumps, Out At, you andre fuller and It's.
- 1:41:07Speaker 12: Nothing against dansby dansby's got some really good tape and
- 1:41:10Speaker 12: he gave up under a thirty six. Percent Completion Rate
- 1:41:13Speaker 12: but andre fuller is a junkyard dog.
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: On the outside he. Is a tackler.
- 1:41:19Speaker 12: HE is physical i don't know if he's His Physical,
- 1:41:21Speaker 12: as julie neil but he's a physical player that's. Got
- 1:41:24Speaker 12: good side he's played, some safety before ran in the high,
- 1:41:27Speaker 12: four to four so he's got more than. Enough athletic
- 1:41:30Speaker 12: juice and this guy was a zero star recruit that
- 1:41:34Speaker 12: had To Go To arkansas pine bluff to start.
- 1:41:35Speaker 1: His college career like He just screams.
- 1:41:38Speaker 12: MIKE McDonald corner i mocked him in one of my
- 1:41:41Speaker 12: early monks in the fifth Round. Of the seahawks getting
- 1:41:43Speaker 12: him in the seventh round to me is. Really GOOD
- 1:41:46Speaker 12: value and i also expect him to be a really good.
- 1:41:48Speaker 12: SPECIAL teams player i expect he's gonna make this roster
- 1:41:51Speaker 12: when We. Get to august we didn't talk about the first.
- 1:41:55Speaker 12: Day one guys we spent a lot of, time on
- 1:41:57Speaker 12: that but just, kind of revisiting Whether, It, be Price.
- 1:41:59Speaker 12: Clark or neil anything that's kind of creeped up that
- 1:42:02Speaker 12: you've seen the last couple of days have jumped.
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: Out at you.
- 1:42:05Speaker 12: NOTHING really, surprising i mean all three OF those players
- 1:42:09Speaker 12: i was well versed on going into.
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: THIS draft process i like all.
- 1:42:13Speaker 12: Three, As Fits, AGAIN jadarian price i think the wide
- 1:42:17Speaker 12: zone is. His breadon butters he said that is the
- 1:42:20Speaker 12: offensive scheme that best fits. His RUNNING style so i
- 1:42:23Speaker 12: think he's gonna be able to hit the Ground Running in.
- 1:42:25Speaker 12: Brian Flurry's offense bud clark with his, ballhawking and instincts
- 1:42:30Speaker 12: you pair him with what they already have. IN the
- 1:42:31Speaker 12: secondary i think he's got a chance to be a
- 1:42:34Speaker 12: really impactful Rookie for the seahawks and their nickel.
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: And dime sets, And.
- 1:42:39Speaker 12: You know neil's the one that you might have to
- 1:42:41Speaker 12: wait a little bit for the defense for him to
- 1:42:43Speaker 12: be a guy that. Makes AN impact but i expect
- 1:42:45Speaker 12: that he's going to be a contributor, down the line
- 1:42:47Speaker 12: and he's certainly gonna help them on special teams out.
- 1:42:50Speaker 12: Of the gate it has a really high ceiling still
- 1:42:52Speaker 12: as a player that's only played corner, for Three years.
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: Corporus smith joining a central c spectrum roster now is
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: effectively he set n drafted free agents and still kind.
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: Of trickling in but there still seems to be a.
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: Spot out there if the one place they did not
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: address in the offseason in the draft Was replacing boy mafe.
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: On the edge what do You Think? ABOUT dante fowler
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: i know you thinking a few days ago you thought.
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: He'd be here Do You think dante fowler is Gonna?
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: BE a seahawk i still think that's The direction the seahawks.
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: ARE gonna go i would say there's a couple other
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: guys out there they could consider that are. A Little,
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: Older Von miller cameron jordan are still.
- 1:43:31Speaker 12: Available AS well so i Would still think fowler would
- 1:43:34Speaker 12: be the most natural fit because HE'S played For.
- 1:43:37Speaker 1: Ad and dirday he is a guy that's already been.
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: IN the building i think he is the.
- 1:43:42Speaker 12: Most natural fit of the fact of matter is he
- 1:43:44Speaker 12: still had a really good pass rush win.
- 1:43:46Speaker 1: Rate last year it might not have, led to sacks
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: but he was still Effective.
- 1:43:50Speaker 12: For THE commanders so i think that is the best fit,
- 1:43:54Speaker 12: on That Front unless john schneider has a, trade cooking,
- 1:43:57Speaker 12: up which look they've got a lot of draft. Picks
- 1:44:00Speaker 12: next year maybe that's something that. We SHOULDN'T discount but
- 1:44:03Speaker 12: I Still Expect dante fowler junior is gonna be the one.
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: THAT has SIGNED i, just i, mean, His decision right
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: so as, a free agent it's his decision what he.
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: WANTS to do i do wonder if the Dirt A
- 1:44:14Speaker 1: slash DeMarcus lawrence factor kicks in and gives you out
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: a little bit. Of, AN edge, plus, i mean listen
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: if you're coming in, at this point you're not making, the,
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: big money right the big money guys have. Already been,
- 1:44:23Speaker 1: signed you're, you're you know tier three in terms of
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: money IS. IN the nfl i got to think that,
- 1:44:30Speaker 1: those two guys, plus oh wait you're going to a
- 1:44:33Speaker 1: team that can Contend For a.
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: Super.
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: Bowl AGAIN yeah and i think it's also just.
- 1:44:37Speaker 12: THE culture aspect I think that fowler he's heard from people,
- 1:44:41Speaker 12: he's played with that he's played for in, terms of
- 1:44:44Speaker 12: coaches like he he knows what, to expect there and
- 1:44:47Speaker 12: you've made this a top ticket for free, agents now
- 1:44:51Speaker 12: again especially at this stage of free agency that are
- 1:44:54Speaker 12: wanting to latch on with a team that still feels
- 1:44:56Speaker 12: like they can. Make An impact DeMarcus lawrence signed much,
- 1:45:00Speaker 12: earlier last year but there was a lot, of, similar,
- 1:45:02Speaker 12: murmurs like well how much is left?
- 1:45:03Speaker 11: In?
- 1:45:03Speaker 12: The tank right you've Heard That With, Dante fowler junior
- 1:45:06Speaker 12: like you put him on a team where he is
- 1:45:08Speaker 12: just going to be a role guy that comes into.
- 1:45:10Speaker 12: PASS rushing downs i think he can still be a,
- 1:45:13Speaker 12: very effective player especially playing.
- 1:45:15Speaker 1: FOR a contender i just think it makes sense, for
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: both sides and it's not gonna be a. Cost prohibitive
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: move Seattlehawk If, they adham corman If They, add dante
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: fowler and with what they did, in the draft where
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: are they in terms of the roster compared to the one.
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: THAT won it.
- 1:45:31Speaker 12: I told you this Last year And i'm still i'm
- 1:45:33Speaker 12: gonna say it. AGAIN right now i thought they were
- 1:45:36Speaker 12: a year ahead of. SCHEDULE last Year I think bud
- 1:45:39Speaker 12: clark can be a Better Player. THAN kobe bryant I
- 1:45:42Speaker 12: Think that julian neo can be a more complete Player
- 1:45:45Speaker 12: Than what. RAKE wollen was I Think that jadian price
- 1:45:51Speaker 12: can be a more complete Payer Player than.
- 1:45:53Speaker 1: Ken walker third there's a lot.
- 1:45:54Speaker 12: Of could be in that obviously with, them being rookies
- 1:45:57Speaker 12: but he just didn't, lose very much and then he
- 1:46:00Speaker 12: went out and got these players in The Draft and
- 1:46:03Speaker 12: SAM donald and jsn in. YEAR two TOGETHER i just
- 1:46:07Speaker 12: i think that this team is destined to be right
- 1:46:10Speaker 12: in the thick of things to, win IT again and
- 1:46:12Speaker 12: i think their roster has more upside now than it
- 1:46:15Speaker 12: did this.
- 1:46:15Speaker 1: Time last year i'll tell you the ONLY thing that
- 1:46:18Speaker 1: i DON'T know if, i say, it WORRIES me but
- 1:46:19Speaker 1: i guess my biggest question mark is a first. Time, offensive, coordinator.
- 1:46:24Speaker 12: Yep yep That would be that would be the ONLY
- 1:46:27Speaker 12: area THAT i would i, JUST but look I Just
- 1:46:31Speaker 12: think brian fleury's gonna do a. Really good job and
- 1:46:33Speaker 12: he was a guy that was on my short list
- 1:46:35Speaker 12: two Years Ago. Behind CLINT kubiak so i think he
- 1:46:38Speaker 12: is a guy that has just set well to be
- 1:46:40Speaker 12: a really. Good offensive coordinator but we'll have to wait
- 1:46:43Speaker 12: and see because we just don't have any evidence yet
- 1:46:45Speaker 12: what he's going.
- 1:46:46Speaker 1: To DO well and I think and, i say that
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: and then in the back, Of my mind i'm thinking
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: This was a mike McDonald. Higher all, right and look
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: if there's Any Criticism, of john schneider it's just that
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: HE kind of i know, what McDonald said but we all,
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: know the truth like he kind Of Forced The Ryan
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: grubbs scott huff thing on. McDonald's first year and then
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: McDonald had the chance to make It right and benton
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: as the offensive line coach and obviously what's Going on
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: not mike uh and and then obviously with, With You,
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: know clint kobiak he made, the, right, choices right like
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: he did what needed, to get done and they take
- 1:47:20Speaker 1: Him To. THE super bowl i don't. THINK he's high
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: I JUST in. Mike i trust we say Always SAY in.
- 1:47:24Speaker 1: JOHN i trust I THINK in. Mike i trust and
- 1:47:26Speaker 1: that's probably why flurry to me would probably he may
- 1:47:29Speaker 1: end up being a.
- 1:47:29Speaker 12: Home, Run HIGHER yeah and i think you, Just, GOTTA
- 1:47:32Speaker 12: look look i don't want to be picking on the low,
- 1:47:35Speaker 12: hanging FRUIT here Because I know pete carroll had a rough.
- 1:47:37Speaker 1: Single, season with vegas but like you're just seeing.
- 1:47:40Speaker 12: DIFFERENT approaches Here I think pete carroll just did not
- 1:47:44Speaker 12: dip deep enough into going after the best coaches that
- 1:47:47Speaker 12: he could get and was leaning too much on his
- 1:47:49Speaker 12: buddies and, his you, know his kids, And you know
- 1:47:53Speaker 12: mike McDonald is not doing.
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: Any of that mike McDonald is out looking for.
- 1:47:56Speaker 12: THE best, coach, I Mean, HEY thomas hammack i know
- 1:47:58Speaker 12: you're Head Coach at, you're alma mater but how about
- 1:48:01Speaker 12: you come BACK.
- 1:48:01Speaker 1: To the nfl and he gets into his running back.
- 1:48:03Speaker 1: Coach real quick is. A fantastic coach that's. An underrated
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: hire but who is he and where did they?
- 1:48:11Speaker 2: Get him from they Got Him, from.
- 1:48:14Speaker 12: Northern illinois the same school, that Ironically Enough beat Notre
- 1:48:18Speaker 12: Dame in south bend, two years ago and he was
- 1:48:21Speaker 12: the head coach and he was, the head coach and
- 1:48:24Speaker 12: he Has Made sure tadarian price knows that in the last,
- 1:48:28Speaker 12: couple of years, And uh yeah price made sure to
- 1:48:30Speaker 12: tell us that he always brings it up every. Time we,
- 1:48:33Speaker 12: TALK so yeah i think he Is an Outstanding he
- 1:48:36Speaker 12: was baltimore's running back coach for five years when McDonald
- 1:48:39Speaker 12: was early in, his Coaching career and baltimore would have
- 1:48:42Speaker 12: guys get hurt and they'd still have one of the top.
- 1:48:44Speaker 12: FIVE rushing teams i think he is, a fantastic coach
- 1:48:48Speaker 12: and the fact he's been a head coach at, THE
- 1:48:50Speaker 12: college level i think it's Just another guy mike McDonald,
- 1:48:53Speaker 12: can LEAN on and i just think he's done a
- 1:48:55Speaker 12: masterful job of hiring the right coaches.
- 1:48:58Speaker 1: That also fit the culture.
- 1:48:59Speaker 5: That, they have.
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: Yeah, No, doubt well cormyn this. Has been fun i'm
- 1:49:03Speaker 1: going to say we, would say goodbye but, you know
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: what there's a there's a rookie mini camp taking, Place
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: THIS weekend So i think i'm gonna find a way
- 1:49:09Speaker 1: to get you on next week and talk about that.
- 1:49:10Speaker 5: If we.
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: CAN sounds good i always enjoy the.
- 1:49:14Speaker 12: Rookie mini camp, but unless uh, two years ago when
- 1:49:17Speaker 12: it looked like we could have had eighth graders out
- 1:49:19Speaker 12: there playing quarterback, completing, MORE passes well i don't think
- 1:49:22Speaker 12: we'll have that.
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: Issue, this year no they bring what's his face gets?
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: Laugh in right the kid from that WAS A by u,
- 1:49:27Speaker 1: and then yeah they're bringing in some solid.
- 1:49:29Speaker 12: Quarterbacks to throws, two, YEARS ago Man I remember GREG
- 1:49:32Speaker 12: bell and i were just on the sideline, permanent cringe
- 1:49:36Speaker 12: faces like what? ARE we watching i think there was
- 1:49:39Speaker 12: like an eight percent completion right that, THAT second practice i.
- 1:49:43Speaker 1: Think they could Have just grabbed humil and. He got
- 1:49:45Speaker 1: done Just just grab humilon off, the sideline here we
- 1:49:48Speaker 1: just need you to, go through this. This and this
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: thanks perfect would have BEEN better than. I think that
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: i do remember how.
- 1:49:53Speaker 12: BAD that, Was i mean i'm not joking that the
- 1:49:55Speaker 12: way that some OF the, guy i mean we could
- 1:49:57Speaker 12: have put some of the. Reporters out there it would have,
- 1:49:59Speaker 12: been slow throws but they probably would have.

- 1:55:41Speaker 1: only thing he Cared about was schneider did want to
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: use that thirty second pick to get some other picks
- 1:55:47Speaker 1: that were higher Than the seventh, roundesday communulated later that's.
- 1:55:49Speaker 3: ALL that's fair i Also like What great co sell
- 1:55:52Speaker 3: said about like anyone who tries to play the value game, with,
- 1:55:56Speaker 3: draft picks like who knows when you could?
- 1:55:59Speaker 11: Have?
- 1:55:59Speaker 3: Gotten someone right you want to just get players that
- 1:56:02Speaker 3: you feel like and help. Your football team it's a,
- 1:56:04Speaker 3: pretty simple process to. Be, completely, honest yeah so?
- 1:56:08Speaker 1: Uh Why not cam jordan says the two five TO
- 1:56:10Speaker 1: three he's i, know he's older but look at his
- 1:56:12Speaker 1: production forty twenty five Better Stats. AND dante fowler i
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: think The familiarity with fowler is why they're they're. Chasing,
- 1:56:17Speaker 1: him down Yeah with third Ay And the marcus lawrence
- 1:56:23Speaker 1: then who knows how. That stuff works there's times when
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: it makes sense to sign a guy, Here, there whenever
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: oh somebody did, help Me out because houghten is The
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: neighborhood in kirkland where the, parking ride is where they're
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: in A, New kay houghton thank. You Very, Much oh
- 1:56:37Speaker 1: hot i've never.

- 1:56:44Speaker 1: this a five and one road trip, for the marriage
- 1:56:46Speaker 1: they come home and retire another, FIFTY one coincidence.
- 1:56:50Speaker 2: I think not.
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: That is from the, two five.
- 1:56:54Speaker 3: Three those who are wondering what the reference is the
- 1:56:57Speaker 3: last when They unveiled the ichiro statue, and It broke
- 1:57:02Speaker 3: when danny Was, on with ian, they were like this
- 1:57:05Speaker 3: is the perfect way to wake up there at bats,
- 1:57:06Speaker 3: and it did.
- 1:57:07Speaker 1: And it did and a five to, one, road trip
- 1:57:10Speaker 1: yeap retiring fifty, one coming back. LET'S do it i
- 1:57:12Speaker 1: think it, all makes sense.
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: Does it not.
- 1:57:15Speaker 9: It's all about. The fifty ones two.
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: Six have to.
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: Disagree With you cole young will not be our two
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: batteries destined. For shortstop LEADS all of mlb and fielding
- 1:57:25Speaker 1: has at least as Strong as arms crawford. Twice the
- 1:57:27Speaker 1: arrange cole's destined to be. A three bagger his arms.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: Actually quite weak. IT'S very weak i think it MIGHT Be.
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: WORSE jp Cross i think chris mentioned it the other
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: day that his his throwing speed is in the bottom
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: two or three percent, isle, in baseball right seventy five. Mile,
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: an hour right it's like, it's very low like he's
- 1:57:46Speaker 1: he's a second basement and that's.
- 1:57:47Speaker 3: Against second basement so percent it's in, the fourth percentile
- 1:57:51Speaker 3: seventy two.
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: Miles an hour let's go BACK to. The nfl draft fourth, Percentile,
- 1:57:59Speaker 1: not good no one, hundred percentile. Good very good one.
- 1:58:02Speaker 1: Percentile really bad. So four bad it's. Close to bad
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: and that's just. An arm strength we'll.
- 1:58:08Speaker 2: Live with it we'll.
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: Live, with that yeah and you're. At second base you
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: don't need to have.
- 1:58:11Speaker 3: A strong arm AND you and i think second base
- 1:58:13Speaker 3: is an underrated, defensive position anyway because of how the, shift,
- 1:58:18Speaker 3: works now right you can move guys around before you
- 1:58:21Speaker 3: kind of just put second basement in kind of a
- 1:58:24Speaker 3: spot where they didn't have to. Move very much you
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: have to have range now as. A SECOND basement and
- 1:58:28Speaker 3: i think That's why coul young as a second basement.
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: Makes, total sense well by the, way, he hits yeah
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: that's six yeld GAMES.
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: With, an rbi.

- 2:05:56Speaker 2: This new era like what?
- 2:05:58Speaker 1: Do you need? You, Need Personality right and i'm gonna,
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: Say this too i'll be. HONEST with you i think.
- 2:06:04Speaker 1: YOU need likability i think it was a very unlikable
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: team the last. Couple, Of years well skyler could. BE
- 2:06:08Speaker 1: very salty i think. That was there and she was
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: the Head.
- 2:06:12Speaker 13: Of the snake she was The head of Snke and
- 2:06:14Speaker 13: and nechA was like She Was, like, el presidente right
- 2:06:17Speaker 13: she was just like the mother, of the league the
- 2:06:20Speaker 13: president OF The W, Nba players association so she was very,
- 2:06:23Speaker 13: like buttoned up but she would. Also be Opinionated and
- 2:06:26Speaker 13: then skyler, was you know she. Was very opinionated this
- 2:06:29Speaker 13: team is just going to be like it's Gonna be
- 2:06:31Speaker 13: Like Clifford The, big red dog going.
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: To, be FUN well like i look at the success
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: the torrent had and a LOT of it i think
- 2:06:38Speaker 1: was based on there were, some Great personalities and hillary
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: obviously the top, of the list and how, she handles
- 2:06:44Speaker 1: herself How. SHE carried hillary i made mention this When We,
- 2:06:48Speaker 1: had hannah bilka who's a gold medalist is on the.
- 2:06:50Speaker 1: Team as well we had her on the Pregame show
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: FOR cracking, AND i, said i, Said you Know Hannah
- 2:06:54Speaker 1: or hillary knight Reminds Me. Of sue bird, first of
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: all it's like if it probably looks by side, Like gold,
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: medals world, championships you know all these creations like as decorates.
- 2:07:06Speaker 1: You could be and the way she carries herself has
- 2:07:09Speaker 1: that aura about her and that, presence about her and,
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: when she speaks when she Spoke, after the olympics and
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: how things were handled by the men's team and the
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: call from the. President All that how hillary handled that
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: there Was especially because megan was there trying to stir
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: the pot up in, his press conference throw, a you
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: know throw a firecrack, in The, hornets and hillary Very
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: much like, sue probably do diffused it but still talked
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: about it. And HANDLED it and I think that i
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: think that gave them that presence and hopefully they.
- 2:07:39Speaker 2: Don't lose her.
- 2:07:39Speaker 1: AN expansion draft i don't know what, they're GONNA do
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: but i think, you need, THAT you KNOW i think
- 2:07:43Speaker 1: i think it's something the. Cracking are missing you need
- 2:07:45Speaker 1: to have, personalities.
- 2:07:46Speaker 13: And press you need to have a face, of the
- 2:07:48Speaker 13: franchise and you'll have your superstars. In the bigs and
- 2:07:51Speaker 13: then like you Mentioned, WITH with fage i mean she
- 2:07:54Speaker 13: Is going to SHE is what i found out very
- 2:07:57Speaker 13: quickly in watching the first game.
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: Of the season she Is not an instagram.
- 2:08:02Speaker 13: Sensation playing basketball she's a great basketball player Who's also.
- 2:08:07Speaker 13: An INSTAGRAM sensation because i, didn't Really know like i've
- 2:08:09Speaker 13: seen her in, college AND stuff but i got.
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: A passion stat pad like. Her, ex teammates right she

- 2:08:49Speaker 1: plus years ago had Like a had all they needed
