  Speaker 1: Now, from the Star Runnels Sports Desk, your 93.3 KJR
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: FM Sports Headlines.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrook. Of course,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I choose chill. Happy Wednesday to you. George Kirby, Kyle
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Raleigh again, Josh Naylor, and the Mariners. Are you back
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: to believing? Kirby's ready. Schwarber's ready.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Swing and a miss. Challenge accepted.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Kirby pumping the gas right to Kyle Schwarber to begin
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the ballgame tonight.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: He's chasing a sweeper off the plate.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Back-to-back punch-outs from Kirby to begin his night.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Well, two batters, both guys swinging at the first pitch,
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: but no one's catching up with the velocity yet.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Swung on and missed. A splitter that disappeared. And George Kirby,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: seventh strikeout of the night.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: He's retired ten in a row. He has been awesome
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: against the Phillies tonight.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: The encore performance will be a challenge tonight for Cal Rollin.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: His first career three-homer game last night. He leads things off.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: This ball barreled down the line. Cal Raleigh has returned!
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: There goes Julio.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Swing and a miss.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Throw is wide. Tag applied. Not in time. 17 stolen
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: bases for Julio.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Now in scoring position.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Right back up the middle into center field. Julio hits third.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: On his way home. Julio is saved.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: And the Mariners take the lead. So you're telling me
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: there's a chance.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah!
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Jim Carrey lives forever with that. Kirby, seven and two-thirds, 9K,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: six hits, one run allowed against a team that was
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the hottest in baseball coming into Seattle. Nine-game winning streak.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Raleigh Homer for the fourth consecutive at-bat. Nailers go ahead
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: single after that stolen base. Without the stolen base, Julio
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez doesn't score there. Bottom of the sixth gave the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Mariners a lead, sent them to a 4-1 win over
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the Phillies, a series win over a playoff-bound team, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: as I said, had a nine-game winning streak before it
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: got here. The M's are two and a half back
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in the trash cans, and the ALS with 29 games remaining.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: This afternoon, the series finale at the Yard, and so
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: do all eyes on Brian Wu starting today after getting
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: pushed back twice because of shoulder tightness. J.P. Crawford back
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: from the injury list, started at third base. Brock Rodden stayed.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: They let Leo Rivas go back to Tacoma. The M's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: plan is for Crawford to shortstop Brendan Donovan when he
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: comes off the concussion list to third base, perhaps this
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: weekend in the series in Toronto. Hey, and it sounds
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: like a six-man piggybacking rotation is coming back. Kate Anderson
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: now with the M's. Bryce Miller staying in the rotation,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: so it sounds like the M's are going to do.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You ready for more of that? Seahawks return from Nashville,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: practiced in Renton yesterday, put Bud Clark and Mason Richmond,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the backup offensive lineman, on injured reserve, ending their seasons.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: That's three guys on to IR and reserve. In four days,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and when you go on IR in preseason, it means
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: your season's over. That counts Jake Bobo with his major
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: knee injury, ACL tear from the joint practice Friday in Nashville. Yesterday,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I saw Nick Emanwuri's second straight practice in cleats. He
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: was not in a jersey, but he was practicing running
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: on the side. Another incremental step toward him, possibly coming
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: back from that arthroscopic ankle surgery to play week one.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Week one is two weeks from today. Trevon Diggs, full go,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: trying to ramp up quick. His new cornerback, Jadarian Price,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: was full go again yesterday. He's not going to play.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: In fact, none of the 22 starters are going to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: play for the Seahawks Friday in the preseason game at
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Kansas City. Fourth Hard Knocks episode on the Seahawks training
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: camp last night on HBO. We're going to talk at
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: length about that, including some leadership lessons. Seahawks Brasser in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Atlanta for the NFL Special Owners Meeting today to vote
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: on the sale of the Seahawks. Kozla family, $ 9. 61 billion.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Need 24 or 32 owners to vote yes. Not only
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: is that expected, it's supposed to be a unanimous vote, perhaps.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: We should learn about that mid to late afternoon, our time.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Sounders made official their signing of Sporting KC Sergeant Dejan Jogovic.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: New designated player, our friend Nico Moreno, sounder at heart,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: MLS Espanol. First to report, the Sounders worked on a
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: two-and-a-half-year extension for Albert Ruschnick to drop his salary below
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the designated player threshold, and that's how they got.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: The Oval Edge.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: New York Giants wide receiver Calvin Austin III, formerly with
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Steelers, will miss the upcoming season with a torn ACL.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: That was from a route he was running in practice yesterday,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: according to ESPN. The Southeastern Conference has joined the Big
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Ten in prohibiting players who have been drafted by the NFL,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the NBA, or the WNBA from or been on a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: roster of teams in those leagues from playing in the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: college conferences. We talked about this yesterday. That's the next
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: step in the SEC and the Big Ten splitting off
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and playing by their own rules as the haves in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: college sports. Now on with the Wednesday show. I just
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: left Nashville, and that town is in mourning. She died
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in Nashville. What is really cool, if there's a cool thing,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: but the legacy of somebody, maybe you don't know until
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: they pass away when, You learn about all this. I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: think I mentioned yesterday, my wife, Jessamyn, Wendy, just loves
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton. She always has. She's told me how much
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: she has done for people beyond her music and her
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Hollywood career.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, the library? Forget it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: A lot of people didn't know about the library. 320
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: million books donated to kids so they can– improve their
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: literacy it's.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: A part of a literacy program yeah it's called the imagination.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It's called the imagination library and she's had it for
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: decades and it's taught kids to read she'd grew up
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: poor in east tennessee some of you may know this
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: story by now that she's passed and there's been a
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: lot of tributes to her she grew up poor in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: east tennessee in a cabin had no electricity a two-room
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: cabin and no electricity no running water Yet she came
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: from there to use her platform, not just to sing
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and make money, but to make people's lives better. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: told you about the book. She built hospitals. She gave
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in her town, when she first started her career, she
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: gave every kid in her town who graduated from high
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: school $ 500 as an incentive. During COVID, when it shut
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: down the country, of course, and shut down Tennessee, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it shut down East Tennessee, and it really, it wrecked
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the economy there. She gave every person in her hometown...
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: $ 1, 000 a month for a year, and then in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: last month, $ 5, 000. Every person in her hometown. She spent
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: $ 9 million that year giving away that money to people
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: in her hometown. I mentioned how she grew up poor
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in East Tennessee. When she first started going to school,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: her mother would use old dishcloths and washcloths of different
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: colors and sew them together as a coat. And that
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was the coat Dolly Parton wore to school. And the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: kids made fun of her, as kids do. It was different.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It was all these different colors and ratty. Dolly Parton never,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: ever took off that coat. She loved it for what
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: it represented and how much her mother was invested in
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: trying to get her a coat for school and the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: quilt work that it took to make that coat out
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: of dishcloth.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: The blood, sweat, and tears to do that, yes.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: When Dolly Parton was born in 1946... her parents, her
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: father was a sharecropper. Her father worked on other people's farms.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: They weren't rich enough to have their own farm. They
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: paid the doctor who delivered Dolly Parton in 1946 with
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a bag of oats. That's where Dolly Parton came from
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to what she became. I mean, there are people that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: do things and then there's Dolly Parton. She's, off the charts.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: And my, my wife always explained this to me, but
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it really didn't hit home to me until yesterday. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: then all the tributes coming in and of course, nine
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: to five. And she became mainstream.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: I grew up with, yep.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I will tell you, having just been in Nashville for
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: five days, they might as well call that Dolly Partonville.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: My wife wanted to go to Dollywood last weekend, but
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it's three hours one way. It's in the, it's in
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the great smoky mountains region where she grew up. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: it's not exactly an easy trip. And then, So we
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: decided that she decided not to do it. But all
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: over town, the Grand Ole Opry has basically a shrine
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to Dolly Parton. The city of Nashville itself has Dolly
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Parton everywhere. I told you we stayed across the street
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: from a Dolly Parton hotel that she owns. It's being
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: currently renovated in downtown Nashville. It would not surprise me.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen plans. It would not surprise me if
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: there's a funeral procession through downtown Nashville for Dolly Parton.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's going to be a parade.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: People are going to travel for that. Bigger than the
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: royal wedding in my mind.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: If there was ever a reason to bump Return of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the Mack and Mark Morrison off the top of the show,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it's definitely Dolly Parton, her most famous and maybe best
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: song from the early 1970s and Jolene. Also on the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: show today with Greg Bell, Jessamyn McIntyre with you every weekday,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: 10 a.m. to noon. That's Jessamyn's voice you hear here
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: at LA-based studios in downtown Seattle. We're reunited again. Mariners,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: do you believe? Are you back on board? I mean,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: you're two and a half back in a very, very
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: poor division that we've documented very well, and I think
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you already know by now. Do you believe? 49451 under
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the Comedodge text line. That's one of the questions we'll ask.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Are you back on board on the Mariners? They've shown it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Eight and four in this tough stretch against the Yankees,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the Trashcans, the Cubs, and the Phillies. Fourth Hard Knocks episode,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: what stood out? The brutality and the humanity of the sport.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Pretty much on display with Jake Bobo and Bud Clark's injuries.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Vividly when you see it in audio, I mean video,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and I can describe it on radio and I can
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: write it in print, but then when it's right in
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: front of your face on video. 1045, you hear from
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Byron Murphy, and you'll hear from Jaron Reed again gushing
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: about Byron Murphy. When you hear Byron Murphy, you'll hear
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: John Schneider shout down my question to Byron Murphy about
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Jalen Milrow's new rich contract. John Schneider does not want
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: that subject broached this year. That'll be something for next year.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Got it, got it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: He was joking.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: He was trying to say it in a joking way,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: but he definitely wanted to make sure that the Jalen
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Carter issue is not something that Byron Murphy concerns himself with.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: But Byron Murphy knows. He knows how much Jalen Carter
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: got paid. Mike McDonald and the Seahawks have a new
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: pass rush planned for Murphy. We'll talk about that. 11 o'clock.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Farhan Lalji, TSN Canada. Our weekly NFL guest. Just got
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: back from Chiefs training camp. He's going to tell us
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: what he saw in Kenneth Walker, and it's a lot.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Walker actually mispracticed yesterday with a foot issue. We in
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Seattle know about Kenneth Walker's issue. We know about running
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: backs and injury issues. We'll read back your text and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: play back your talkbacks at 1130. The talkbacks go to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app or 933KGR. com, and there's a red microphone
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: button at the top. Play that. Leave a voicemail of
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: 30 seconds or less, and we will play that back
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: at 1130. And Jessamyn will play it back. Because she
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: loves talkbacks. I will. For sure she will.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: I want to know if people are believing. That's where
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I am right now. That's my biggest question.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: That is my question for the talkbacks and for my
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: first question for the Tacoma Dodge text line. Are the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Mariners back? Do you re-believe? Like I said yesterday, are
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: you Ted Lasso-ing in the Mariners? Mentioned the 8-4 tough stretch.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: The Cubs, since they left town, have scored 30 unanswered runs.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: That's what the Mariners did to them last week. They've
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: taken two or three from them. Coming up, here's the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: deal for the Mariners. They have no picnic in Toronto.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: They have their own vendetta in history with Toronto, who's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: kind of revived because the American League is so bad
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: that the Blue Jays are in the back of the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: playoff race. Boston, who just came back from the dead
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: in the first half of the season to win like
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: 28 or 30 games, holding a playoff spot. So Toronto-Boston
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: next week, no picnic. But then check this out. The
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Mariners play in succession to end the season after next
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: week's Boston-Toronto road trip. A's Rangers, A's Angels, trash cans
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: two at home, Angels to finish the regular season. Not
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: one of those teams has a winning record, of course.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Then again, neither do the Mariners.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but they're on the up.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Jessamyn's a believer. I am.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of par for the course when
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: it comes to me. So I take that with a
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: grain of salt. But no, I was not last week.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: At the beginning of last week, I was not. And
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: they got me back.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: What got you back?
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Well, Kirby being.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: As commanding as he was, that's a huge, huge part
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: of it. We're seeing him again. And then Cal, Cal
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: lighting up. Julio with his base stealing yesterday. You know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: just watching him be paying attention is a huge thing, too.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: But it seems like with all of these things going
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: in the right direction, and what I really liked yesterday,
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: and I even said this on social media, is is
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: the aggression that I'm seeing from them, where in a
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: series or two ago, you saw a little bit more
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: lackadaisical play, just with mind farts and things like that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Throwing the ball in the stands during play.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: And this just seemed like they're back. They're ready to
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: be aggressive. They have their heads in the game, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: they want to be aggressive. And that actually probably trumps
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: anything else. I don't expect Julio to keep hitting home
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: runs at the current clip he's at.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Cal, I meant.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: I think Julio is getting warmer and getting warmer, and
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: he's performing at the necessary times. Josh Naylor, same thing.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: I don't mind that he got, and it was a
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: very close call. I don't mind that they challenged that
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: play at second base when he drove in Julio. I
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: also appreciate that he went for two. I thought that
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: was the right move to make in that situation.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, throw through.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I liked it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: And that is the biggest part of it. Kirby looking
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: like Kirby. Be interesting to see how the rest of
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: the pitching staff holds up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: Will they piggyback? Will they not? It kind of looks
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: like they might.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know what Wu's health and readiness is. Maybe
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: it's not a piggyback, but making sure that he's in
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: the right spot.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of reasons.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: But the aggression I saw last night and their stick-to-itiveness...
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: And knowing they can win a game is pretty much
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: the biggest thing that got me back.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Kyle Raleigh mentioned it yesterday and it's continued after last night.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: His on-base percentage is now over 500 in the last
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: nine days because he was on base three times last
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: night with two walks in the home run. That alone,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: eight for 22 and an on-base percentage above 500, that
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: alone transforms the Mariners. I mean, that's the flag. That
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: is the aircraft carrier that took you to the ALCS
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: last year, of course, with the 60-plus home runs. But that,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: to me, is the difference. Yeah, Kirby, that was very,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: very encouraging, to say the least. Mowing down the Phillies
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: for 7-2. And how about the Mariners letting a guy
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: pitch 7-2 innings? Hey, that helps. Of course, Kirby was
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: so efficient, only threw 92 pitches in those innings. Only
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: needed one out from Ferrer in the 8th inning, and
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: then Munoz again. Although he walked two guys. Again, the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: biggest difference when Munoz gets his save, 24th, he's throwing
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: his fastball now. I talked all spring and early in
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: the season, what's he throwing this slider in big situations for?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: He's got a 103-mile-an-hour fastball. Use that. And now he is.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And he's blowing dudes away with that fastball and primarily
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: focusing on the fastball. But, yeah, Kirby's start was encouraging.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: A Rose Arena, now the new number one hitter producing,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: but And.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: His defensive play has been phenomenal.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: It's almost like he woke up.
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And maybe his hamstring is better. He's no longer playing hurt,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: as so many Mariners have played hurt. Rodriguez, yes. But
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: most of all, Cal Raleigh. And, man, it shows you
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: what a 150 hitter with an OPS of 500 does
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to your lineup. It drags you down. He's gained 100-plus
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: points in OPS in, like, the last three days. And
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that is transformed. The Mariners, they can get away with
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: pitchers giving up two or three runs in an outing
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: if Kyle Raleigh's doing this. When Kyle Raleigh was where
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: he was, there's no margin for error for the pitching
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: staff or the defense. Well, there is now because of
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Kyle Raleigh. 49451, I'd be interested to hear if you
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: are back on board. And why not? I mean, there's
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: still 29 games to play, and the division is so poor.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: We've said this so many times. If you win the division,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: who knows? Because the AL Central— I call it the AL
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: North because all the teams are in the North. But
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the AL Central, last I checked, is five, six games over.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: 500 is the first-place team, the White Sox. So they're
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: within range. Because if you can get to. 500 and
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: get a No. 2 seed behind the AL East leader,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: then you avoid that first round, which is how the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Mariners got going last year in the playoffs, facing Detroit
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: after Detroit already had a series— Just get there because
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: of their pitching staff and if Kyle Rowley's heading like this.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to say I'm truly believing again because
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: of a team that's still, what, five games under 500.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: But that's where this division in this American League has
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: been this year.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and like you said, just getting there. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Wu is on the mound today.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: I'm interested to see how many innings they give him
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: and how they manage that.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: And it might not be a piggyback.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: I don't know if they've outright said that they're going
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: to do that or not, but they have the ability to.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: But we'll see. They've got a decent bullpen as of late.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Wu pushed back on his last two starts from Saturday.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Of course, the reason why Kate Anderson made his Major
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: League debut Saturday was because of pushing back Wu from
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Saturday to this start on Wednesday. Shoulder tightness that he
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: had on his last start, which is now what? 10
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: days ago or so. So yes, to your point, Jessamyn,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you can't expect seven and two-thirds out of Woo today.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: But he is home, where he's a completely different pitcher
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: than on the road, and the bullpen's rested because you
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: only needed four outs from him last night. That's the
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: other thing Kirby's outing did. They know they have a
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: starter today in Woo that they can't rely on to
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: go deep in the game because of shoulder tightness. Now
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you've got a bullpen that's rested. Now that you didn't
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: tax him last night because of what Kirby did, 92
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: pitches in seven and two-thirds, which is why they let
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: him run a little bit.
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: It's looking like a pro outfit all of a sudden.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And we had a texter yesterday on the text line,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the 49451, the Tacoma Dodge text line, text him. He
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: said he's a Green Bay fan, a Packers fan. And
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: he was chiding us for how we go so wildly
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: swinging on the Mariners, from giving up on them, they're terrible,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to are they back? Do you believe again? And I
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: made the point, I responded in print to him in
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the text, The reason we're doing that is because this
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: division is so poor that it only, as we've said
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a thousand times, it only takes a few wins in
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a row and you're right back in it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: That's just the math of it. Two and a half
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: back with 29 games left.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Do you believe?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: Well, even last year, mid-season, in June.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: You know, people were on the don't believe train.
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: So look what happened then. And the season before that,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: when they were in last place.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And then they went on a 14-game winning streak. And yes.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It's a little late this year, but they are following
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: a pattern of second half uprisings. And is it enough
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: to get in? Yeah, I believe. We'll see. If Cal
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Raleigh hits like this, they're going to make the playoffs.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. And if Cal Raleigh hits like
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: this in the playoffs, they're going to go far in
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: the playoffs because I believe they're pitching. Pitching hasn't always
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: been there this year, but it's starting to work. You
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: can see how this team should be well ahead of
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: where they've been all season. when they play like this.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: We'll read back your texts at 1130 and see if
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: all of you believe as well. Up next, a lot
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to talk about in the fourth Hard Knocks episode that
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: you may or may not have seen last night. If
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen it, well, I'm about to tell you
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: what the key points were from someone who's out there
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: every day. There were some interesting leadership points. not only
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: from Mike McDonald, but from Julian Love and others, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: then the humanity and just the cold reality of football
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: right in front of you on your eyes last night
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: watching two major injuries and the fallout from it. The
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Hard Knocks episode of the Seahawks is coming up next
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: at 11 o'clock. Farhan Lalji, TSN Canada about the NFL.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: We'll hear from Brian Murphy and Jaron Reed gushing about
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Byron Murphy. All that's coming up on our show on
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: 93.3 KJRFM. Is that the Factor Fiction music at times?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: At least maybe Chris played it Factor Fiction that way.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: I think every show has their own.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Might be.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: I like it, though. Guess we in the mood for football.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: That is. On the text line, I see a couple questions.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Are you having Factor Fiction again? Yes, we are. It's
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the first week of the NFL season, right?
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: It starts next week.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, next week.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Okay. Because the college football season actually begins this weekend.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: There's a game TCU's playing in Ireland.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: And then next week is the opening of the full
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: college slate.
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: So it's before college football.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Including the Apple Cup, which will be Labor Day Sunday.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That's weird. Labor Day weekend Sunday at 1 o'clock, Jessamyn
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: McIntyre will be in crimson and gray on the sidelines
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: of Washington State. Elyse Woodward will make her debut as
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: the voice of the Huskies here on 93.3 KJRFM. Washington State,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Washington in the Apple Cup at Husky Stadium on Sunday.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: What's that, September the 4th? whatever date that is Sunday
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: of Labor Day weekend at one o'clock kickoff pregame show.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: You know, they do it 20 hours in advance. The
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Husky honks. All that'll be on 93.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: That's September 6th.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you. September the 6th. But yes, we're having factor fiction.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks for Jessamyn pointing out. It'll be next week. Not
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: to brag, but the last time they gave me a
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: microphone and factor fiction picks, I got like by far
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: lapped the field of the most in the station. They
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: didn't give me the crown of winning because they said
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: that Anders had higher percentage he picked like six games
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and won four of them or something but i had
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: like 29 or 35 or whatever it was wins and
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and i took army in the under for many of
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: those that year that's right on point for you those
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: veterans of the show right on west point for you
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: that's right man you got that right army in the
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: under for sure last night in the hard knocks episode
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: a lot went on the brutality and the humanity is
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: of the sport on full display. It's one thing for
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: me to write it. It's another to talk about it
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: on the radio. And then you see it front and
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: center and video and in places I can't get to
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: as a credentialed beat writer, the cameras for HBO and
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: NFL films are right there for Jake Bobo blowing out
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: his knee on that catch on the sideline in the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: joint practice season ending. You could see on his face,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: he knew. And then Bud Clark, uh, breaking his ankle
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: on the first defensive play of the preseason game Sunday
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: night in Nashville on the cart in the locker room,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: in the training room, which of course we're never allowed
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: to go as reporters. And it begins with, we wanted
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: to play the scene of Bud Clark, the rookie safety,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: second round pick. His season is over, sitting on the
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: training table with a broken ankle, A trainer is trying
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: to fit him for an air cast, and he's on
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: FaceTime with his fiancée and their little toddler son. This
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: was last night on NFL Films HBO Hard Knocks.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Hey, baby. Hey.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: Is it broken?
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: It's not like I'm broke.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I knew as soon as it hit, I said.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm broke.
• 23:55
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: Man, that was so hard to watch on TV.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Piggy.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: You all right?
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: They just snapped, cracked, and popped my ass.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Look at him. Look at him.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Who did that? I don't know who did it. You
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: going to kick their butt?
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: You going to kick their butt?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah. You're going to fix my life, then, aren't you? Yeah,
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: I'm going to fix your life.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I'll watch you outside, baby.
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: All right. Nice support underneath. What I want you to
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: do is slide down towards me. Damn. It's okay. Yeah,
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: it is. Hell yeah, baby.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: We all agree.
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: I think about the lollipops and the unicorns.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Oh!
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, oh, oh.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: It's okay, baby. There it is, bud.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's okay.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: It's okay. Set this on me.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Daddy, are you okay?
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: I'm all right.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: It's okay.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: It's okay.
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: It's okay.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: All right. Just bend the knee and allow it to relax.
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: No pressure on it, obviously, okay?
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. Okay.
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: Hold up, baby. I'm going to go get changed.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: What do you think of them airing that?
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: I thought it showed another side of football and he
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: knew the cameras were there. I mean, it wasn't some
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: hidden camera or anything like that. Um, I really thought
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: it showed a lot about him, his family and, um,
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: how much he loves them trying to stay strong in
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: a moment.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: That, you know, he was in extreme, extreme pain.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: He didn't have any lidocaine, nothing, you know, in his
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: system yet to take that pain away. And if you
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: watched the segment, well, leading up to that moment, you
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: could hear how much pain he was on the field.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: He knew it was broken the second the play ended.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, he did.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: And I'm okay with them airing it. And I think that,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: and I hope that Bud could have asked the Seahawks
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: if he really didn't want it aired.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: And the Seahawks would have demanded that it not.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Again, it's worth repeating. On every one of these episodes,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks have about 36 hours before it airs that
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: they get to view it.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: And General Manager John Snyder, Mike McDonald, whoever, the person
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: who's vice president of communications, they can all watch it.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: They do watch it. And they can object and say,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: here's why we don't want this in. And so they
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: cleared it. Yes. I... I agree with you. It shows
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: a side of football that we don't get to see often,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: but that is real. That is all that happens all
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the time. And that happens every Sunday and every game
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: and every single team of 32. My son, a college athlete,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: played college soccer. He thought that was inappropriate because of
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: how personal the nature was in invading in someone's private
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: call with their fiancé and their son. And that's true,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: but to your point, but Clark was almost serious. But
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: it brings up the point, what's Bud Clark going to say?
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: He's a rookie. His season just ended. He's in absolute
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: excruciating pain. He's really not giving a rip about a
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: camera and the fact that it's in there or even processing.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: If Leonard Williams was on that table, ain't no way
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Leonard Williams would permit his wife and his young son
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: was too young to talk right now, just born in March.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to be on a FaceTime call on national television. So
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: there's definitely that. It was a rookie who doesn't have
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of cachet or standing to say anything. He's
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: only been in the league for a month. But I
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: just found it interesting as a journalist and storyteller, okay,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: why did you air that? And I think it's exactly
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: what you said, Jessamyn, about a side of the sport.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: At the beginning of that, before we played the clip,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and he's in all this pain, His fiance, you can
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: hear her saying on the FaceTime call, think about the
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: lollipops and unicorns.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And it made him laugh.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: I couldn't tell if she was talking to her son
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: or to Bud or to both of them at the
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: same time. And if you watch it, too, you can
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: see the pain on his face. And he's trying to laugh.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: And he's trying to smile so hard. But that's because
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: his son was on there as well. And I would
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: think that also Bud wouldn't FaceTime them right then if
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: he truly didn't want. The camera was there, right? And
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: he wanted to talk to them right then. But he
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: had every wherewithal to say, give me a minute.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: It's true. And they're his comfort, obviously. That's what he
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: wanted at that moment. It was all, Daddy, who hurt you?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: We're going to go get him. Will you fix my bike?
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: He's two?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: He's two and a half.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Two and a half, okay.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I saw him on the sidelines. His fiancée and Bud
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Clark had their child while he was still playing at
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Texas Christian University. I've talked to him and written stories
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: about that experience of being a father while a student
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: athlete in college. That itself is unique. The Jake Bobo, again,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: from a storyteller perspective, I thought it was interesting that
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: they created the story arc with the very first scene
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: of the episode before the credits even ran. above Jake
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Bobo and his wide receiver coach, Frisman Jackson, together. Bobo
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: challenging Jackson a little bit, because Jackson was challenging him.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: And Bobo came out and said, let me free. Let
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: me do what I need to be. Remember, Bobo missed
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: about two weeks with a hamstring injury. I saw him
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: when he came back last Monday. I was watching him
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: work out early in the practice and catch a long pass.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And when he did, he felt the hamstring pull again.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: And he screamed and he grabbed the back of his leg.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: And I remember thinking at the time, I wonder how
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: he's going to handle this. He probably shouldn't finish this practice.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: But no doubt, he knows Montori Foster is coming hard.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: He knows Emmanuel Henderson may make the team as an
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: extra wide receiver and a special teams gunner. Well, Jake
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Bobo stayed on the field and practiced not only the
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: rest of that day, the rest of that week, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: in the rest of that practice, he was holding the
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: back of his hamstring and rubbing it and flexing it,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: and he was hobbled. And he was not 100% when
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: he had that joint practice in Nashville on Friday before
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the knee blew out. I'm not saying they're related, but
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying that Bobo's mindset at that time was,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I have to stay on the field here because you
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: heard Frisman Jackson in the coaches meeting that they showed
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: last night on the episode saying, Bobo's got to get
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: on the field and be on the field and be healthy.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: And he talked about all the guys that were coming
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: up behind him, including Foster. Fritzman Jackson thought that maybe
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Bobo's roster spot was in jeopardy. And here's a guy
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: who just signed a two-year deal with $ 4. 5 million guaranteed
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: this spring when the Seahawks matched the Jaguars' offer. Very
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: interesting to see what Bobo's mindset was right before he
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: blew out his knee. And I know what he's probably
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: thinking is, I was playing on half a leg anyway.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Because he did. tweak it again when he came back
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: on that Monday. I watched it. It was interesting to
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: see him come back to practice the rest of that week,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: even though I knew he was less than 100%. You
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: could see him running not very fluidly. Julian Love, when
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: we came on the air Friday, the practice was just ending.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: It's a really tough spot to try to be a
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: writer and a reporter and a radio host live on
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the air. trying to see everything and process everything while
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: talking to you. And I could see Julian Love talking
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: to Leonard Williams in somewhat of an animated fashion as
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: they came off the field right when practice ended. And
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I made a mental note of thinking, I wonder what
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: that was about. Well, last night we saw what that
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: was about. And Julian Love was talking to Williams saying
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that the team needed to have better, quote, competitive stamina.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: And I thought that was a perfect description for what
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I saw and I've seen all in training camp. That
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: is really telling because, one, that means the reserves, right?
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Because the reserves have been the only ones playing in
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: the preseason games. The reserves are the ones that got
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: beat in the second half against Dallas. They got beat
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: in the second half, blowing a 16-3 lead that Drew
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Glock and the starters on Sunday had built in Tennessee
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: in the preseason game. So the competitive stamina of being
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: able to be competitive throughout the practice, throughout the game,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: falls on the reserves that have played this preseason. But
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: it also speaks to the starters, right? Because they haven't played.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: What is their competitive stamina? They wilted some in that heat.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: It was 100 degrees on the field in the joint
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: practice on Friday. And we saw Abe Lucas leave and
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Montori Foster have a heat issue at the end of practice.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: They weren't exactly up to competitive stamina for that entire
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: two hours on the field Friday. And that's what Love
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: was talking about with Williams. It's one thing to say,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, the Seahawks starters haven't played since the Super Bowl.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: So it's on the reserves that anything we're seeing issues
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: in preseason games. But it's another to say the Seahawks
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: starters haven't played since the Super Bowl. They're going to
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: go from February 8th in Santa Clara, hoisting the trophy,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: to September 9th in the opener in New England without
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: having played. And Julian Love, as a leader of the team,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: eloquently describing the competitive stamina is an issue for this team.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: And if I had to say one thing about the
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: starters from this preseason, it would be that. How competitive,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: what is their competitiveness for four quarters? We don't know
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: until they play again. Now, it helps the 20 of
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: the 22 starters from that Super Bowl team are back,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: but they're all older. Some of them have gotten nicks
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and pulls and aches, and Nicky Manwari's not back yet,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: and we're two weeks away from the opener. I thought
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: that was a really interesting comment, the competitive stamina is
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: what he's concerned about. Montari Foster, they're making him a
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: national star, aren't they?
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, rightfully so.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: And I feel like, man, what a fortuitous interview we
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: had with him at the very start of training camp.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: So good. When he told us about being a substitute
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: teacher and a real estate agent. At one point in
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the episode last night, Frisman Jackson, a wide receiver coach, said, well,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: were you selling insurance this time last year? Foster correct
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: him so those houses actually. That was from our show.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: And he since has retold the story a couple of
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: times from Lakewood St. Ed High School, just outside of
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: his native Cleveland.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Before we go to break, because I know we have to,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: I want to make a correction on the start of Factor.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: Oh, yes.
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: I had that wrong. So that is on me. It
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: is not next week. It is on Labor Day, September 9th.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: We're actually starting it on Monday on Labor Day because
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: all of us will be.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: September 7th because 9th is the Seahawks open on a Wednesday.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly. So we do start Factor Fiction on September 7th.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: NFL week one. Yes. Is when it'll start. What did
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: you think? 49451, what did you think of the Rookie
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Talent Show? Usos Samalo, Samalo, the undrafted rookie, nose tackle,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: playing No Woman, No Cry on his guitar.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I had players tell me that was the best rookie
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: talent show performance. But others told me that Jedarian Price
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: deadpanning Wagon Wheel was the best because they thought, oh,
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: what is this? He was very low-key deadpanning singing Wagon Wheel,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: which every bar in Nashville plays all the time. And
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I love it because it's a great song. But then
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Price ditched it mid-song and broke out into a rap,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and everybody sang along with him to that, too. And
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of people said that that was the coolest
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: performance they thought was the best one. And then the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Veterans Leadership Council that Mike McDonald used to get the
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: operation faster in offense and defense. You saw all the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: veterans in there talking about getting better. Sam Darnold getting
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: into the quarterback's room saying, this is on me. That
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: was another example of the leadership of Mike McDonald. So
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: was the vulnerability he showed talking about OJ Brignance, his mentor,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: his guy that he relied on when he was a
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Ravens assistant, 19 years battling ALS. He died last week.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: And you saw a side of a leader that you
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: don't often see. I mean, that is vulnerability. That is empathy.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: That makes leadership really effective when you can be that
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: vulnerable with the guys you're leading. Mike McDonald getting choked
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: up talking about OJ Brignance last night, he saw it
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: on that episode. 49451, the Common Dodge text line. We'll
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: be back at 1130. Your reaction to all of that.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: To the Mariners, are they back? Up next, we're going
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: to talk about Byron Murphy. The Seahawks have a new
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: pass rush plan for him. Man, does Jaron Reed love
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: him some Byron Murphy. He thinks he's overlooked, disrespected, but
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: he'll eventually get his. They all know what his is,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: and it's Jalen Carter's contract the Eagles just signed as
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: a benchmark. We'll talk about all that next. 11 o'clock,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Fire on Logi on 93.3 KJRFM. Hi, welcome back. Greg Bell,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Justin McIntyre with you as we are every weekday, 10
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: to noon here on 93.3 KJR FM. Farhan Lalji of
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: TSN Canada just got back from the Chiefs training camp.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: He'll tell us all about what Kenneth Walker looks like
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: in a Chiefs uniform coming up at 11 o'clock. Coming
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: up right now, Byron Murphy. The Seahawks have a new
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: pass rush planned for him this year. You're going to
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: hear him talk about that, but first you're going to
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: hear about Jaron Reed's gushing again about Byron Murphy entering
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: his third NFL season. Jaren Reed talking to me off
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: the field just after off the field in the practice
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: in Tennessee on Friday.
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: The way he plays the game, period, is top tier
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: to none. I don't think he gets the respect he
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: deserves in his league yet, man.
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: I don't know why.
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: But guys around his league, all the PFF and whoever,
• 38:08
  Speaker 10: what's his name, Adam Sheffield, I just feel like he
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: needs the respect. He's definitely– Top two, in my opinion,
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: I'm always boosting my guys. I think him and Leo
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: are two of the best defensive tacklers in the league, man.
• 38:19
  Speaker 10: The way that he plays double teams, the way he
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: goes and rushes the passer, I don't think– nobody really
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: looks at it because we're inside. Nobody really understands how
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: hard that is unless you're playing the game, you know.
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: And just the way he takes about it, he doesn't complain.
• 38:32
  Speaker 10: He doesn't say anything. He just works, works, works all
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: day long, man. And I just keep telling him every time,
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: you know, don't pay attention to it. You know, you
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: can't pay attention to it because that's a popularity contest,
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: you know. It's all people's opinions, but us in the
• 38:46
  Speaker 10: football world, we know. And he's going to get what
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: he deserves one day. It could be today, tomorrow, year
• 38:52
  Speaker 10: from now, two years from now, whoever knows, you know.
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: I truly think he's going to get all the accolades
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: and all the respect he deserves, man. I just tell
• 38:59
  Speaker 10: him to keep his head down and keep working.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Jaren, tell me how difficult it is to drop to
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: a knee and have two 300-plus pound guys blocking you,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: yet he gets up and splits them.
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: So, believe it or not, it kind of makes it
• 39:09
  Speaker 10: easier when you drop to a knee because you have
• 39:12
  Speaker 10: kind of like more leverage. It's kind of a leverage thing,
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: you know, kind of like in wrestling, the lower man wins. So,
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: I mean, it just kind of makes it for the
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: O-line for a reason, right?
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: They don't want to go that low.
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: So, you know, it's a change up sometimes because a
• 39:27
  Speaker 10: lot of guys I used to weigh bigger guys and
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: you know, they could just roll on and stand them
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: up with him. You know, he has this ability to
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: do the drop knee technique and bounce up. I mean,
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: that's stuff that has been coached for a long time.
• 39:39
  Speaker 10: You really see people.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: Use it, but. You know, he's a dozen and a dime,
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: a dime and a dozen, if I said it right.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: You did. Why is that? Why do coaches coach it
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: but players don't do it?
• 39:50
  Speaker 10: They give you all the type of tools to use
• 39:52
  Speaker 10: in playing. There's all different ways to play blocks, you know.
• 39:55
  Speaker 10: And some people take it, some people don't. You know,
• 39:58
  Speaker 10: it's all on the player. So it's an instinct thing.
• 40:01
  Speaker 10: You can coach it. You can teach it. But the
• 40:04
  Speaker 10: player has to do it. So, you know, it's an
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: instinct thing.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: That was Jaron Reed to me on Friday at the
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: joint practice right off the field in Nashville, Tennessee, the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Seahawks had with the Titans. And what stuck out to
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: me is he said he's going to get what he deserves,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: whether it's today, tomorrow, next year. He knows, every defensive
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: lineman that's in the sport from high school to NFL
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: knows that Jalen Carter just signed the largest contract for
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: a defensive tackle in NFL history a few weeks ago,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: last month, with the Philadelphia Eagles, drafted a year before
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Byron Murphy. As Byron Murphy's just 23 years old, He
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: knows what Jalen Carter is getting, $ 150- plus million contract from
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: the Eagles. So yesterday, Byron Murphy had his press conference
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: after practice, and in the middle of this talk, I
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: tried to ask him about that, and you might hear
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: from the background the choice of the general manager of
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: For those of you guys that aren't playing in the preseason,
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: what do you have to do to get ready? Like,
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: does it feel like college again, like where you're going
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: out in game one where you don't.
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: Have somebody else.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: You played in the lead-up to it?
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Kind of how do you manage that and what's different
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: about trying to get ready?
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: I'd say really just, like, we know we're not playing,
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: but attacking the game day like we are playing, you know. Also, too,
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: just taking real mental reps, you know, You know, mental reps,
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: you know, watching film, just things like that, like you're
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: just getting prepared for a game. So you're really just
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: being a pro for real.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Your coach sort of expects more pass productivity in the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: pass rush from you this year. What does that mean
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: to you? What does that look like? Just me rushing.
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: That's what it's going to look like, just me rushing,
• 41:40
  Speaker 11: getting to the quarterback, but also, too, just working with
• 41:42
  Speaker 11: the guys around me to get to the quarterback.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Is that more opportunities up and down the line? What
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: have you noticed already that maybe.
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: Didn't come around?
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: I'm getting opportunities playing at rushing from the three, a
• 41:55
  Speaker 11: couple lower rushes here and there, also two rushing from
• 41:58
  Speaker 11: the nose. So really just being all around and taking
• 42:02
  Speaker 11: every opportunity they give me.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: You're still just getting started, but you saw what Jalen
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Carter got. You have to notice the defensive tackle marker.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: What do you think of that and where do your
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: goals go?
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: Wow, show off.
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: It's pretty cool to see, but I'm not really worried
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: about that right now. I'm just focusing on me, focusing
• 42:26
  Speaker 11: on what's happening right now as far as training camp
• 42:29
  Speaker 11: and just going into the season.
• 42:30
  Speaker 9: You guys have a lot of tenure plus vets in
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: defensive line and outside linebackers. For still relatively young player
• 42:38
  Speaker 9: and coming up last year, what have those guys made
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: you to have all those veterans?
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: They've been a lot to me, man.
• 42:42
  Speaker 11: I've learned a lot of ball over the last three
• 42:44
  Speaker 11: years being with these guys. I feel like Leo, Jay Reed, Law,
• 42:51
  Speaker 11: they just helped me take my game to a whole
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: other level. So having them guys, you know, give me
• 42:56
  Speaker 11: a lot of confidence in my play. And just the ability,
• 43:03
  Speaker 11: you know, to go play free and not to worry
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: about nothing because I know they got my back and
• 43:05
  Speaker 11: I got theirs.
• 43:06
  Speaker 9: Do you ever give them a hard time about being
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: like the older guys in the group or anything?
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: How big a difference is it trying to rush from
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: the nose and the free tech for people that don't
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: understand the difference? What fundamentally changes in that role for
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: you when you're in the different spots?
• 43:22
  Speaker 11: Well, at the three, you know, you got a lot
• 43:24
  Speaker 11: of space. So you got a lot more opportunities, you know,
• 43:28
  Speaker 11: you can win and be. Winning the B gap. You
• 43:32
  Speaker 11: can win B to A. You know, you can just
• 43:35
  Speaker 11: mix it up, you know, from a three. But from
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: a nose standpoint, man, it's pretty hard because, you know,
• 43:40
  Speaker 11: you got the center and the guard right there, so
• 43:42
  Speaker 11: you're pretty much rushing two, really. You hardly get any
• 43:45
  Speaker 11: one-on-ones when you're rushing at the nose. So, man, it's
• 43:49
  Speaker 11: a bit difficult. You know, you got to be tight
• 43:51
  Speaker 11: with your rushes, have your hands ready, you know, when
• 43:54
  Speaker 11: you're at the nose position. And then also, too, everything
• 43:57
  Speaker 11: just happens quicker at the nose, by the way. it's
• 44:01
  Speaker 11: pretty challenging, but I'm going to find a way and
• 44:04
  Speaker 11: manage to get the job done.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Byron Murphy talking yesterday about pass rushing more as a
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: three-technique defensive tackle. That's outside shoulder of the guard. He
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: was a nose tackle mostly as a freshman, as a
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: rookie in 2024 as a first-round pick. He only played 49%
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: of the snaps that year. He got only a half sack.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Last year, McDonald made it a goal in the early
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: in the season to get him more reps in the
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: pass rush game, and he did. He played 70% of
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: snaps overall, from 49% to 70%. And his pass rush
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: went from half a sack to seven sacks. Mike McDonald
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: said early in camp he thinks the pass production for
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Murphy is going to go higher this year. Higher would
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: mean like double-digit sacks. We're talking all pro level for
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: an interior defensive tackle. And now he's going to do
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: it from a further outside. I've seen him as a
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: five technique outside of the guard between the guard tackle.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I've seen him sometimes as a defensive end lining up
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: in practices. But more three technique, he says, is going
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: to be better for him to get more one-on-one opportunities
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: and quicker into the backfield than he does when he's
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: often double-teamed by a guard in the center. And then
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: there's the run defense and a double-team that he just
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: takes on with the Turkish kettlebell move that is just amazing.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: One knee to the ground, raising up. If you missed
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: that on Byron Murphy, you can hear it on the
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app or 93KJR. com. Greg Bell Show podcast page. Up next,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Farhan Lalji, TSN Canada, talking about the Kansas City Chiefs
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: camp he just went to and a bunch of other
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: things around the NFL. Kenneth Walker as a chief, what
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: he'd look like, how they're using him. Farhan tells us
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: next on 93.3 KJRFM.
• 45:56

  Speaker 2: of them, the series finale at the yard in Soto.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: All eyes on Brian Wu starting today after getting pushed
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: back twice because of shoulder tightness. J.P. Crawford's back on
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: the team off the injured list. Started at third base
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: last night. Plan is, according to Ryan Divish of the
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Seattle Times, is that Crawford's going to go to shortstop
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: when Brendan Donovan comes off the concussion list he's on
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: until at least the middle of the weekend series at Toronto.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: It looks like a six-man piggyback rotation's coming back. Now
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: that Kate Anderson is up from AA Arkansas, and they're
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: going to keep Bryce Miller in the rotation for now,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: it sounds like. Seahawks return from Nashville to practice in
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Renton yesterday. They put Bud Clark and Mason Richmond on
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: season-ending injured reserve. You go on IR in the preseason,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: your season is over. Parker Kirst with the broken ankle.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Mason Richmond with a right leg injury, both in the
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: preseason game at Tennessee on Sunday night. That's three guys
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: on IR in four days, counting Jake Bobo with his
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: ACL tear from the joint practice Friday in Nashville. Nick Emanwuri,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: second consecutive practice in cleats, though again he was running
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: on the side, not in a jersey. Jervon Diggs was
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: full go, trying to ramp up quickly as a new cornerback.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Jadarian Price, full go. Price, the first-round pick, is not
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: going to play on Friday night. None of the 22
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: starters are when the Seahawks and Chiefs end the preseason.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: And Arrowhead, I'll be there for KJR and the News Tribune.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: Fourth Hard Knocks episode we discussed was aired last night.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: If you haven't seen it, it'll air again on HBO
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: and HBO Max. Seahawks Brasser in Atlanta. NFL special owners
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: meeting today to vote on the sale of the Seahawks
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: to the Kozla family for $ 9. 612 billion. I'm told that's
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: going to be a short meeting. We may find out
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: about it early this afternoon. But then they won't officially
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: become owners until the bank clears that $ 9. 6 billion. It's
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: not like just plopping down a $ 5 bill at the
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: gas station. It takes a little longer than that for
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: $ 9. 6 billion. Sounders officially made their acquisition of sporting KC
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: star Dejan Jolovic as the new designated player for Seattle.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: Our friend Nico Moreno, Sounder at Heart, first to report
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: that the Sounders worked a two-and-a-half-year extension for Albert Rushneck.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: to drop his money below the designated player threshold in
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: order to add Jelovic, who has eight goals in 20
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: matches for KC. New York Giants wide receiver Calvin Austin III,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: formerly the Steelers, is going to miss the upcoming season
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: with a torn ACL in his right knee. And the
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: SEC is joining the Big Ten and saying, no way,
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: if you have an NFL contract or if you've been
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: on an NFL roster, you aren't playing for us. Same
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: goes for WNBA or NBA players as well. Welcome back.
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: I'm Dave Bell.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: This is the Macintyre Weekly on 93.3 KJRFM. And now
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: it's time for the fan favorite. Everyone clamors for Farhan Lalji.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I get him in person this time. TSN had a
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Canada NFL writer, NFL reporter, and host all over football
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: for TSN in Canada. Hello, sir. Good to see you
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: in person.
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: Things are good. If only people knew our setup. Yeah, exactly.
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: And you can't call me a writer because I can
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: barely read, let alone write.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Report it.
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: I can only read your stuff and that's it.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: We're here at Seahawks headquarters right before practice. You were
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: at Chiefs camp.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Saw Kenneth Walker in red, which is jarring to Seahawks fans.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: What did you notice about Kenneth Walker in the Chiefs?
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: I thought he looked awesome, but it's training camp, right? And,
• 49:51
  Speaker 12: you know, he had that spring in his step. Like
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: you could see just that bounce, that explosiveness. And you
• 49:56
  Speaker 12: could also see just how they were trying to use him,
• 49:58
  Speaker 12: which was in every which way. You know, when you
• 50:00
  Speaker 12: look at Andy Reid a couple of years ago, he
• 50:03
  Speaker 12: loves the screen game. Their screen game last year was
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: virtually dead. And there was a lot of problems with
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: what they were doing offensively. But now, all of a sudden,
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: they can bring the screen game back with Walker. They
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: had him out of the backfield. You could just see
• 50:15
  Speaker 12: Mahomes trying to get comfortable with him in a lot
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: of different areas.
• 50:17
  Speaker 8: So that was the one thing.
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: And then one of the storylines was kind of a
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: byproduct of what happened here was that people were concerned
• 50:25
  Speaker 12: as to whether or not this guy was on every
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: down back.
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: I think people in Seattle weren't sure that he was. Right.
• 50:29
  Speaker 12: And I think he wants to prove that he can be.
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: And he's talked about that publicly and in Kansas City.
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: I think they really, really want to lean on him
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: in the run game. But, you know, can he last
• 50:37
  Speaker 12: 17 games if they do that? And already we're dealing
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: with a bit of an injury because he's not got
• 50:41
  Speaker 12: a foot tweak that's kept him out of practice here
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: on Tuesday. So, you know, they're going to have to
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: find some help in the backfield. Like he needs, it
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: doesn't need to be the divide that was last year
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: with Charbonnet where it was virtually even. But they need
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: somebody to take 30% of the carries, in my opinion.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Do they have somebody there that can do that?
• 50:58
  Speaker 12: Yeah, there was a couple of guys, young players that
• 51:02
  Speaker 12: came through camp. Emmitt Johnson was one that was making
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: a lot of noise. But in the first preseason game,
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: he just kind of looked ordinary. But they liked what
• 51:09
  Speaker 12: they've seen in practice. And you can only read so
• 51:12
  Speaker 12: much into a preseason game. But, you know, it's been
• 51:16
  Speaker 12: a long time since they've had a 1,000-yard back. And
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: he wants to be that guy that can break it.
• 51:20
  Speaker 12: So I think one thing with Andy Reid is he's
• 51:22
  Speaker 12: not afraid– to kind of see exactly what a back
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: does well and give him a small role in that area.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: Uh, but it's, it's a rebuild in terms of their
• 51:29
  Speaker 8: running back room altogether.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: So Kenneth Walker, probably 70% or more of the carries,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: but maybe even the snaps, they make them a third
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: down back too.
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think so. I think they want to use
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: them in every situation.
• 51:41
  Speaker 12: And especially if they want to run screens on third
• 51:43
  Speaker 12: down and find ways to do that, you know, um,
• 51:46
  Speaker 12: I don't think they're going to limit what they believe
• 51:48
  Speaker 12: he can do. The question is going to be whether
• 51:50
  Speaker 12: or not they want to limit how much they think
• 51:52
  Speaker 12: he can do it, right, in terms of managing him.
• 51:54
  Speaker 12: And I just think that's smart football and smart coaching.
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: But when you invest that much, you kind of feel
• 51:59
  Speaker 12: the need to get something out of that investment, right?
• 52:02
  Speaker 12: So I'll be very interested to see what their usage
• 52:06
  Speaker 12: of him is in the first month of the season
• 52:09
  Speaker 12: because I know they're going to want to lean on
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: him late in the season if he's healthy.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Finalology, TSN Canada is going to be in Arrowhead Stadium
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: for the opening Monday night game the Chiefs have, if
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, on September the 14th or whatever it is.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Did you see him split out or going down the
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: field like we saw here in Seattle?
• 52:27
  Speaker 12: Absolutely, yeah. They ran him out of the backfield deep
• 52:29
  Speaker 12: down the sideline. They lined him up outside. Didn't see
• 52:33
  Speaker 12: him lined up in the slot a ton, but he
• 52:35
  Speaker 12: was outside and they weren't afraid to throw to him
• 52:37
  Speaker 12: in that situation.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: So they just kind of want to push the envelope.
• 52:40
  Speaker 8: And to be honest.
• 52:42
  Speaker 12: Kansas City, I'm concerned not about Patrick Mahomes, but about
• 52:45
  Speaker 12: everybody else in their pass game. Because Rasheed Rice does
• 52:48
  Speaker 12: not look like that guy. Now, there's still some time
• 52:50
  Speaker 12: to figure it out, but wasn't separating. He had the
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: legal situation. He was in jail for 30 days after
• 52:56
  Speaker 12: he got to scope. So now you're trying to rehab
• 52:58
  Speaker 12: that way, and then you all of a sudden walk
• 53:00
  Speaker 12: into training camp. He doesn't look like he can be
• 53:02
  Speaker 12: a wide receiver one. And then they've got Isaiah Worthy there.
• 53:04
  Speaker 12: We'll see how much more he can do in terms
• 53:07
  Speaker 12: of just being a vertical stretch guy. Cyrus Allen was
• 53:11
  Speaker 12: a young receiver that's been a draft pick this year
• 53:13
  Speaker 12: that has developed a real chemistry with Mahomes they you
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: know they liked what they've seen from him average in
• 53:18
  Speaker 12: the preseason but in practice he looks really good Taequann
• 53:21
  Speaker 12: Thornton's there as well and then Kelsey just kind of
• 53:23
  Speaker 12: looks okay right so because of that I think they're
• 53:25
  Speaker 12: going to feel the need to try to lean on
• 53:27
  Speaker 12: Walker more in multiple ways because he looked great like
• 53:30
  Speaker 12: he looked the part but again early stages of training camp.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Kelsey full go is he yeah yeah he went full
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely the guys that were.
• 53:40
  Speaker 12: Offensively, there were no holdbacks in that regard. Kelsey was
• 53:43
  Speaker 12: getting an 11-on-11 reps in a padded practice that I saw.
• 53:48
  Speaker 12: Just defensively, they're trying to work through some things. Their
• 53:51
  Speaker 12: top cornerback, Munsur Delaney, who theoretically is going to be
• 53:54
  Speaker 12: the Trent McDuffie replacement. The day I was there was
• 53:57
  Speaker 12: his first day back practicing. He'd been out for a
• 53:59
  Speaker 12: couple of weeks dealing with, I want to say a knee,
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: but I'm not positive what it was. He was out,
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: and he's a real important part to what they're doing.
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: And Legere needs another guy that's older, trying to manage injuries,
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: but they need to squeeze out a season out of
• 54:13
  Speaker 12: him because, you.
• 54:14
  Speaker 8: Know, you lose both your top two corners.
• 54:17
  Speaker 12: But offensively, everybody was participating, including Rice, who didn't look
• 54:21
  Speaker 12: good while participating.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: They're at St. Joe's, Missouri, right? So that's an old-school
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: training camp environment. What is that like? Very few NFL
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: teams have a college campus away from team facility training
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: camp anymore.
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, and it's a Division II school, so,
• 54:34
  Speaker 12: you know, like not everything is palatial. I loved it
• 54:37
  Speaker 12: from a media perspective, the way they were set up there.
• 54:40
  Speaker 12: They kind of had an.
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: Elevated area.
• 54:43
  Speaker 12: Behind the end zone and multiple fields and multiple shooting periods.
• 54:46
  Speaker 12: So it was great access to kind of look at everything.
• 54:50
  Speaker 12: But yeah, I mean, lots of fans, lots of interest.
• 54:53
  Speaker 12: People want to do that because it gives them the
• 54:56
  Speaker 12: dorms and it gives you that kind of setup and
• 54:58
  Speaker 12: you allow for a level of team building and things
• 55:02
  Speaker 12: like that. So we didn't get to look at those facilities,
• 55:03
  Speaker 12: but just in terms of the areas where the coaches
• 55:06
  Speaker 12: were set up where, you know, fans and media were like,
• 55:10
  Speaker 12: it was a really good, good setup.
• 55:11
  Speaker 8: I liked it.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: You were at Broncos camp too. What stood out to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: you there from the team that went to the playoffs
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: and then crashed and burned?
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 55:18
  Speaker 12: You know, like for me, they have a lot of this,
• 55:21
  Speaker 12: they're singing from the same songbook, the Seahawks are right.
• 55:23
  Speaker 12: Continuity 20 of 22 starters are back for them. And
• 55:27
  Speaker 12: all of their offensive starters are back. Plus they've added
• 55:29
  Speaker 12: Jalen Waddle to that. And then defensively, they've got nine
• 55:32
  Speaker 12: of 11 back, but you know, neither of the players
• 55:34
  Speaker 12: they lost were key guys. So, I think they're still
• 55:36
  Speaker 12: going to try to manufacture a pass rush, which was
• 55:39
  Speaker 12: a common theme for a number of the teams that
• 55:40
  Speaker 12: I saw. But, you know, when you look at them offensively,
• 55:45
  Speaker 12: they're going to ask more of Bo Nix, right? Because
• 55:47
  Speaker 12: like he led the league last year in attempts. I
• 55:50
  Speaker 12: think he had 612 attempts, but part of that was
• 55:52
  Speaker 12: because of the fact that they set an NFL record
• 55:54
  Speaker 12: with 12 come from behind victories. So you're in that mode,
• 55:56
  Speaker 12: but his accuracy needs to improve. His deep ball completion
• 56:00
  Speaker 12: percentage needs to improve. They didn't push him down the field.
• 56:02
  Speaker 12: I think his uh, yards per attempt last year was
• 56:05
  Speaker 12: in the bottom third, if not the bottom five of
• 56:07
  Speaker 12: the league. So they need more from him because this
• 56:09
  Speaker 12: is the year they've got to make that decision, right?
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: Because after this year they can renegotiate them to a
• 56:13
  Speaker 12: longterm extension. So, um, he's 25 and 11 as a starter.
• 56:17
  Speaker 12: So that's more than any of the other six quarterbacks
• 56:20
  Speaker 12: or him plus five, including Michael Penix that were drafted
• 56:24
  Speaker 12: two years ago.
• 56:24
  Speaker 8: Um, in a great.
• 56:26
  Speaker 12: Situation to have success with such a good defense and
• 56:28
  Speaker 12: a coach that believes in him. But, um, If you're
• 56:31
  Speaker 12: going to make that decision to give him the bag,
• 56:33
  Speaker 12: he better show you more that you're winning because of him,
• 56:36
  Speaker 12: not with him just being a game manager.
• 56:38
  Speaker 8: But when you look at that, as something Seattle.
• 56:41
  Speaker 12: Fans would appreciate, when you think of that situation that
• 56:44
  Speaker 12: Sean Payton walked into with the salary that Russell Wilson
• 56:48
  Speaker 12: was owed and then the buyout that he was owed
• 56:50
  Speaker 12: and then the draft capital that was lost, and you
• 56:53
  Speaker 12: walk into that situation, you're like, all right, we're going
• 56:55
  Speaker 12: to try with a rookie quarterback because we really have
• 56:57
  Speaker 12: no choice. And for what he's done the last two seasons,
• 56:59
  Speaker 12: amazing stuff.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: You went to Cowboys, you went to Rams, you went
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: to Chargers, you went to 49ers. What stood out to you?
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: What surprised of all the camps you've been to and
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: who of any of those? The Rams jump out right
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: away as the Seahawks' main challenger, but could the Cowboys
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: rise up? We've talked about the 49ers' injury issues. What
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: stood out to you of all the camp stops you went?
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: What surprised you?
• 57:20
  Speaker 8: Managing of injuries by everybody. It's funny.
• 57:23
  Speaker 12: I was just talking to a friend of mine, Chris Brummel,
• 57:25
  Speaker 12: with the Kraken, and we just talked about what training
• 57:27
  Speaker 12: camp used to look like in hockey. Versus now, you know,
• 57:29
  Speaker 12: the training camp's literally a weekend. And preseason's four games
• 57:33
  Speaker 12: now in the NHL, whereas before, I mean, camp was
• 57:36
  Speaker 12: two weeks.
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: Preseason was three weeks. It was epic. And we see
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: a little bit of that in football too, right?
• 57:40
  Speaker 12: That preseason's from four to three games now. You know,
• 57:44
  Speaker 12: we see the joint practices for some teams that's really
• 57:47
  Speaker 12: valuable because it's a way to kind of manage tempo
• 57:50
  Speaker 12: and manage injuries a little bit and still be able
• 57:52
  Speaker 12: to evaluate.
• 57:53
  Speaker 8: So, yeah.
• 57:54
  Speaker 12: You know, going to the Rams and the day I
• 57:56
  Speaker 12: was there, there was no Matt Stafford. He was getting
• 58:00
  Speaker 12: every second day off. No Devontae Adams. Miles Garrett had
• 58:03
  Speaker 12: missed five days, came out and just did a bit
• 58:05
  Speaker 12: of individual and said, I'm good. You know, you go
• 58:07
  Speaker 12: to San Francisco and the injuries that they're dealing with,
• 58:09
  Speaker 12: it just makes you think of that substation story, right? But,
• 58:12
  Speaker 12: you know, like I know Kelsey's not practicing and they're
• 58:15
  Speaker 12: not talking, sorry, not Kelsey, Kittle. And they're talking about
• 58:17
  Speaker 12: him potentially being ready day one, which was very much
• 58:20
  Speaker 12: in doubt before. But Nick Bosa still hasn't done anything yet.
• 58:24
  Speaker 12: And here's the other thing. I think they're going to
• 58:27
  Speaker 12: have to put a new category in the NFL injury
• 58:29
  Speaker 12: report called tightness.
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: We hear it so much. Every team, tightness. What is that?
• 58:35
  Speaker 12: But just seeing the management of bodies and injuries throughout.
• 58:38
  Speaker 12: Because I think coaches are just putting less emphasis on camp.
• 58:41
  Speaker 12: That mentally, you can understand what's going on. We'll wait
• 58:44
  Speaker 12: to the season. And we're seeing that even here. The
• 58:48
  Speaker 12: build-up for Trevon Diggs... It's really more about system than
• 58:52
  Speaker 12: what he looks like on the field. Can you handle
• 58:54
  Speaker 12: what we're asking you to do as opposed to are
• 58:56
  Speaker 12: you still like super fluid and all that kind of stuff, right?
• 58:59
  Speaker 8: I think that's the bigger concern here is they try
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: to build him up.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Bigger league picture-wise, what do you think, if anything, the
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: league does with Jed York and his stupidity in Ohio?
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: What happened? to Robert Kraft? Yeah.
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: The charges were dropped. He pled not guilty, so he
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: never admitted to anything. The charges were dropped, and there's
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: no punishment.
• 59:18
  Speaker 12: Well, and I think a lot of that's going to
• 59:20
  Speaker 12: be part of it here, right? I mean, this is not–
• 59:24
  Speaker 12: you know, we've seen more egregious offenses. We've seen what
• 59:26
  Speaker 12: happened to Daniel Snyder. We've seen what's going on with
• 59:28
  Speaker 12: Jerry Richardson. or went on with Jerry Richardson. So, you know,
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: when I look at York, I see Robert Kraft just
• 59:35
  Speaker 12: in terms of what the offense is.
• 59:37
  Speaker 8: But should you be looking at it in terms of
• 59:39
  Speaker 8: what Deshaun Watson did? Well, that's it.
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: The players are held to a different standard than owners,
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: are they not?
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, and they shouldn't be.
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: But that's what happens because ultimately the commissioner works for
• 59:48
  Speaker 12: the owners and it becomes a bit of a country
• 59:50
  Speaker 12: club thing. All those owners just look at themselves and say,
• 59:52
  Speaker 12: what would happen if I did that? And for a
• 59:54
  Speaker 12: lot of them, probably something has happened in their background
• 59:57
  Speaker 12: that they probably haven't been caught with, right? So I
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 12: could see how Goodell would be pressured to step back
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 12: a little bit, but there's got to be something done.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 12: And we'll see how long it takes for the legal
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 12: process to move if they're going to wait for that
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 12: to make a decision.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: What do you think, Terry? I'm told Terry Arnold may
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: sign here before the Chiefs preseason in a matter of
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: a day or two. What do you think the league
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: does with him?
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 8: Do you think he's going on the exempt list?
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: And could you see any possible way to him playing
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: this year?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 12: It depends on the legal side of it because the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 12: league's not going to let him back while that's still pending.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 12: At some point, whether it's charges dropped, whether it goes
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 12: to court and he gets acquitted, whatever that happens to be,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 12: there's no window for him playing until that's resolved. And
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 12: to be honest, I'm not sure why the Seahawks are
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 12: anxious to even get him signed. Why would you? Why
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 12: would you need to pay him? until he's in a
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 12: position to play for you. Maybe that was part of
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 12: the arrangement of him taking a one-year minimum salary that
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 12: you're going to pay me from start to finish because
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 12: it's not that expensive. So at least they've got him protected.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 12: But I don't know. I just don't know how long
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 12: it's going to take. I mean, eight felony charges. And
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 12: they sound serious. Now, everybody around him has said, look,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 12: that's not who this guy is. And everybody has said
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 12: the right thing about him coming out of Alabama and
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 12: all those things. But whether we believe that to be true,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 12: people do dumb things even if they're good people. And
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 12: So I don't know why everyone's in a rush as
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 12: I look at this thing because there's a process that
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 12: has to play out.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: See, I think he may get back midseason, possibly, depending
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: on what the legal system does. Okay, I'm going to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: put you on the spot for a final one. Of
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: all the camps you went to, what's the one surprising thing?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: When you came home and told your wife or your son, wow,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect this or this was really cool.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 8: Um, that's a good question. I don't, you know, are
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 8: you talking about like players?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 12: Well, like, first of all, I loved the Chiefs camp, like,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 12: and for the same reason that we talked about, that
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: it's so rare now that teams go off to camp, right?
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: Like you go to the Cowboys camp and, you know,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 12: it's meant to be Disneyland for Cowboys fans in Oxnard
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 12: and the way the whole thing is set up and
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 12: the theme park and everything. But honestly, the last couple
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 12: of years have gone, their crowds have been really down
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 12: for their camp. but to just see it in Kansas
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: City with that college atmosphere and the people that travel.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 12: It's kind of like going to Packers camp. The number
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 12: of people from around the state that come, even though
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: they have it at their own facility, just to kind
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 12: of see that vibe in Kansas City.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 8: And also for them, I talk about the one injured player,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 8: the corner, who was out.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: They got a couple of young guys that they drafted
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 12: high on the defensive side of the ball in R.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 12: Mason Thomas and Peter Woods, who could be dudes. Like,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 12: they really, really popped in practice in the 11-on-11 session.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 12: So I'm excited to see how they look. But just
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 12: the college campus atmosphere, I love it.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I miss going to Eastern and the dorms in Cheney.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: They haven't changed at all. Those dorms have not changed
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 8: at all since the 90s.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: There's still silos right next to Bruce Field. Farhan, we'll
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: be together every week, it sounds like, during the regular season.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Good to see you in person.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 8: All right, buddy. Say hi to Wendy. That's my sign-off
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 8: with you every time. I appreciate it.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: That makes me smile. Farhan Nalji, TSN Canada. Going to
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: be our regular contributor to NFL coverage here on 93.3 KJRFM. Yeah,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: every time he's in Seattle or I'm in Vancouver, Wendy
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: and I are in Vancouver, we go out with Farhan and, yeah.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: I love that. He just dropped his son off at
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: a prep school in Virginia. He's getting... offers all over
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: the place about being a college football quarterback.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 5: That's amazing.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: From Linden. Yes, I've been talking about that with him.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: It was cool to meet his son when I was
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: up there for the World Cup in Vancouver. Interesting to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: hear him talk about Kenneth Walker all over the field
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: in Andy Reid's offense. And we know Reid likes to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: throw the ball to running backs. And we know that
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks split Kenneth Walker out at times as a
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: pass receiver here in Seattle. The foot issue kept Walker
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: out of practice yesterday is a concern, obviously, at that
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: position with his history. But he's going to get every
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: opportunity to be the full-time component to Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes'
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: passing game in Kansas City. But not Friday night because
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: he's not going to play. I don't know that any
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Chiefs starters are playing. I know no Seahawks starters are
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: playing in the third and final preseason game. Friday night,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: 5 p.m. local time on King 5 television. I'll be
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: in Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium for that. The third
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: cornerback situation still to resolve itself. Roster spots to be had.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Montori Foster's attempt to win an unlikely roster spot. All
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: to be settled on Friday night, the final performance, really,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: until the rosters need to be cut down from 90
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: to 53 players on Sunday. 49451 is the Comodage text line,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: or talk back on the iHeartRadio app or 933KJR. com. And
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: up next is your chance to be a part of
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: the show when we read back and play back your Input,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: including the Mariners.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: Are you a believer?
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: You think they're back? Should the hard knocks have aired?
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Bud Clark's FaceTime call with his fiancée and his young
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: son after he broke his ankle. He's sitting on a
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: trading table in Tennessee. That and more. The Seahawks, what
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for. Why I asked Byron Murphy a question
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: about how much the market is in defensive tackle. We'll
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: answer all that next on 93.3 KJR FM.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: And I will always.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 9: Believe in the Mariners and we're going to win the
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 9: World Series.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 8: This year. We all know how this is going to go.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: The Mariners play up to their competition, and they sure
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: as hell play down to their competition.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: I'm not buying any of this.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: The Mariners, they're going to be three back right now,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: two and a half back. They're going to finish three,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: two and a half back.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 8: Same old, same old. I'm not buying it.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 7: Good morning, yes, I'm in, mostly because of the division
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: we play in, obviously, or else we would have been
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 7: out of it a while ago. But the fact that
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: Cal's woken up and we're showing other signs of life,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 7: frustrating that it's taken us long, but absolutely, especially with
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 7: the way the schedule shakes out after the Boston series,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 7: especially compared to Houston and Texas.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: That first caller was playing... I Will Always Love You
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: singing I Will Always Love You, not quite as well
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: as Whitney Houston. That was written by Dolly Parton. Elvis
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Presley wanted to buy that song in the 70s and
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: play and record it. And she held out with it
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: and didn't do it and didn't do it. And eventually
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: Whitney Houston performed it and made it a gold record.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: And it was amazing. But Dolly Parton wrote that song.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 6: And she presented her with her Grammy or whatever the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 6: award was that she got for it.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 5: I believe it was.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: If you missed our stop of the show, we started
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: with Dolly Parton's Jolene instead of Return of the Mac.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: And there's somebody on the text line saying, can you
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: please play your tribute and comments about Dolly Parton again?
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: And you take a break. That was like a slam
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: and a compliment at the same time.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: Well, if they want to hear you again.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: But they don't want to hear me, but they want
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: to hear that. Remember we talked about her imagination library?
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Donating 320 million books to kids. How it works is
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: the hospitals where babies are born, for example, in Washington, D.C.,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: when babies are born in Washington, D.C., the hospital staff
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: suggests that the parents sign up for the Imagination Library
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: program while they're still in the maternity ward. You sign up,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: you get age-appropriate picture books, and they're sent to your
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: address every month for free. Dolly Parton did this. My
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: wife is in speech communications and she does a ton
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: of research and work in early childhood and reading to
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: your kids when they're babies and infants and the language
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: development and the brain development that just hearing red words
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: from a book does for children. And Dolly Parton did
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: that for 320 million people across the Life of Imagination
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Library program. That's Just another aspect of how she does
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: what she did. And she's just a legend so far.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: That's like almost every kid.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Well, 320 million books. Books, books. I guess you could
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: have multiple books sent to your house, so it maybe
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be 320 million kids. But you're right, 320 million.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: is about the population of our country.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: 49451 is the Tacoma Dodge text line. We read that
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: back every day at this time. A lot of stuff
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: on the Mariners. The 206 says, I keep telling myself
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: I'm done with them, but I keep watching and hoping.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: It sounds like a lot of us. 253 says, I
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: believe the Mariners are in a crappy division. Someone has
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: to win that thing, even if nobody wants to. Even
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: if they make the playoffs, they're not good enough to
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: go anywhere. I don't know about that, as bad as
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: the American League is. And the pitching staff in a
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: short series. You could have Kate Anderson be one of
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: three starters in a five-game series, right?
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: Absolutely could.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: And then I think that pitching staff could cobble together
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: two other starters that would win you playoff games. They
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: did it last year. It's all about Cal Raleigh to me.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: If he keeps hitting like this, yeah. And if he
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: hits 150, no. I don't know. We'll see. 29 games
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: are left. There is a text line about the Seahawks.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to find the question here. 425. About Bud Clark. No, no, actually,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: it was about Byron Murphy.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: And you heard Byron Murphy's press conference. We played it
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: from yesterday, and you heard John Schneider walk up behind
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: me as he was coming off the practice field when
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: I was asking. Let me just tell you how I
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: did what I did, and I'll read back the text.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: You heard Jaron Reed in our conversation Friday off the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: edge of the field in Nashville say he's going to
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: get what he deserves, whether it's this year, next year, tomorrow,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: They know what Jalen Carter got. The record setting. It
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: reset the market for defensive tackles. My question, because Reed
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: had said that, that was going to be my lead
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: to my story. In fact, I wrote the story at
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: thenewstribune.com this morning. It's up there now. And the lead
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: to my story is Jaren Reed off the field gushing
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: about Byron Murphy and then saying he's going to get his.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: He's going to get what he deserves next year, the
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: next day or two, whenever. And so I wanted to
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: ask Murphy if that is a motivation for him.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: And as I was getting out of the words, Jalen Carter's,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: you've seen Jalen Carter's contract. You know what the now
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: market is for defensive tackles. He smiled and said, yes.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: And before I could really get into any more is
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: when John Schneider walked up behind me and said, whoa, dude,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: chill out.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: And he did it in a laughing way, but he
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: certainly did it with a purpose. And it was to
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: quelch that whole subject. And it had the chilling effect
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: of Byron Murphy not answering the question after that. He said, yeah,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: it's cool to see, but I'm focused on now and today.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: Well, he probably would have said the same thing anyway.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: May have. I know Murphy, though, and he's a new father,
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: and he knows how much the defensive tackle market has
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: changed in the last month. But that was my questioning,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: and my thinking was that motivation, is that motivating him?
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: Because that motivates players in this league. That's what this
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: league's all about. 425 said, that question is why the
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: press has limited access. There's nothing positive for the team
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: that any answer to that question can generate. The latter
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: part of that statement is true. Maybe there isn't anything
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: positive for the team. My job isn't to Extract information
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: that's positive for the team. My job is to portray
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: exactly and report exactly how these guys think, what their
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: motivation is, and behind the scenes, the why to why
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: they do what they do. Why does Byron Murphy bang
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: his head into offensive linemen 70 times a game? He
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: knows what the market is. Is that a motivation? Jaron
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Reed's talking about it. I was leading my story, so
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: I wanted Byron Murphy's input on it. That's why I
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: asked the question. My job isn't to... Ask questions that
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: will make the Seahawks approve of it and think that
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: make the Seahawks look good. That's what John Boyle and
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: the people that work for the Seahawks do. That's not
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: my job. And when my job sometimes goes different than
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: what the Seahawks want, that's journalism. I'm not a reporter
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: that is a cheerleader for the team. I'm a journalist,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: independent journalist. who is a different agenda than someone who
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: works for the team. But I get it. It's a
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion. Everybody in the market that's a fan
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: of the Seahawks want positive things that the Seahawks approve of.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: And so we tend to be the bad guy if
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: we ask a question that the team doesn't like.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: But that is my role. I'm not their friends. It's
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: a professional relationship. I get along with plenty of people
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: in the organization, players, coaches, staffers. But I'm not their
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: buddy and I'm not their employee. There are enough people
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: in the mechanism of an NFL team that can get
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: out the information in the way the team wants done.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: They usually get it out first.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: And that is not why the press access is limited.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: The press access is limited because the NFL teams treat
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: themselves with self-importance that even the military doesn't have. I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: can get more things out of the Pentagon than I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: can get. I've done it because I've been there. Then
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: I can get out of an NFL team. But I
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: just wanted to– I'm not disagreeing. I understand the fan's perspective.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: I understand the listener writing that. I understand that people
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: think that way. I also understand that I come off
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: as a bad guy if I ever ask anything that
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks don't like, especially off of the Super Bowl
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: championship season because everyone loves what the Seahawks love. I
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: get it. That's part and parcel of what I do.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: But it is nice to pull back the curtain so
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 6: that people understand that part of the job. Yeah.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: Do you want everything only as the Seahawks want it presented?
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: We'd never know about anything that they don't want us
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: to know. That's not my job. My job is to
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: write exactly what's happening. And sometimes that's counter to what
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks want. That's true of any team in any sport, actually,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: college or pro.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: We have a lot of people writing in that they
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 6: are recipients of the Imagination Library books.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 6: 360 says the Imagination Library was awesome for both of
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 6: my kids.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 5: Every time I went to get to the mail... I
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: went to get the mail. Somebody asked if there was
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 5: a new book. Absolutely awesome program. We still have many
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: of the books that my kids still ask us to read.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, that's awesome. That is really awesome. My kids
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: still quote some of the books. They quote Goodnight Moon.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: They quote Herald of Purple Crayon. I read Good Night
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: Moon and Herald of the Purple Crown so many nights
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: in a row to my kids for five years that
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: I memorized. I didn't even need the books. I just
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: sat in the hallway outside both of their rooms in
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: the dark at 11 o'clock and I was exhausted because
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: I hadn't slept in four years. And only when I
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: was on the road and I'd sleep the entire road trip.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: But I would just sit there and from memory read
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: these books. Like many of them. A dozen or so
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: books I'd read from memory. And if I... This is funny.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: If I somehow messed up a word or a phrase,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: my kids, half asleep, would call me on it. Like, no. Daddy,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: that's not how it goes. Daddy, Harold said this.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we had that one, too.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Wendy Savoy Bell. Credit her for that. But that's great
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: to hear the Imagination Library. That's really cool. Yes.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 6: And the 360 says the Dolly Parton Imagination Library sends
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 6: one book a month from birth until the child's five.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: Imagine the language development that that aids. That's just great.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 6: And that's right until they're going into school, into kindergarten, too,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 6: where they'll start reading theirs.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: So they're armed and ready.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: Man, that's great. Yeah. Thanks for that. 253, Michael, not
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: the hugest Dolly fan, but a fan. When I was
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: around three or four, maybe, I went with my mom, dad,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: and grandmother to see her and Kenny Rogers at the
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: Tacoma Dome. The biggest thing I remember, Dolly kissed me
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: on the cheek as they walked to the stage, and
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: I credit her as the reason why I love women
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: to this day. Things you remember. Yeah, that's true. That's
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: really cool. That's really good. It's good to hear that, too.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: What a program that is. 320 million books. That's really great.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: All right, real quick, the 253s. So the protocol on
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Bud Clark. The Hawks training staff initially put the air
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: cast on, and then do they take him to the
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: hospital for surgery? That's a good question. I don't know
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: if he flew home with the team or if he
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: had surgery in Nashville Sunday night. If the leg was
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: stabilized enough by the air cast and the walking boot,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: I think he went home with the team. The fact
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: that they were putting a walking boot on meant to
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: me that he was about to get on the team
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: bus and go on the plane rather than into an ambulance.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Why would you walk into the hospital, right?
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: So you talk about an uncomfortable flight. We mentioned that yesterday.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: Four and a half, five hours on a charter. Yeah,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: it's a charter, but still with a broken ankle.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: That's not a flight, but Clark's going to want to
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: relive or remember. Thanks for the text. Thanks for the question.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: I'm honestly not combative about the question about why I
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: asked the question of Murphy and why press access is limited.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: I know people feel that way.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: You were just explaining.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: We just have different viewpoints, and I come at it
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: from a completely different– I'm not a fan. I say
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: that all the time.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: Why did you write that about the Seattle?
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: Well, because I'm not a fan. I don't have pom-poms.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: Ian Furness, I think he's back. Mayor Maple Valley will
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: join us next to say what he's got on the show.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: If you missed our Dolly Parton tribute at the top
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: of the show, go to the iHeartRadio app, 933KJR, or
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: the 933KJR. com website. The Greg Bell Show podcast will be
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: up later. Ian's next on 93.3 KJR FM.
