Chuck in the Morning 8-24 H2: Gregg Bell, Mike Macdonald press conference, ABC's of the Mariners · Chuck in the Morning

0:16
Speaker 1: All right, Happy Monday morning to you all. My name
0:19
Speaker 1: is Chuck pal anders Hurst is here, still filling in
0:21
Speaker 1: for the vacationing, the relaxing, the let's face, it's milking
0:27
Speaker 1: it for everything it's worth. Ashley Ryan, who's out for
0:30
Speaker 1: a few more days. I think she comes back at
0:32
Speaker 1: the end of the week. I want to say, Thursday
0:35
Speaker 1: is Thursday, Friday, she's back on the air. That's right, Yeah, Thursday,
0:39
Speaker 1: she's coming back so she can have another day off
0:42
Speaker 1: at home. Yeah, that's right, because she did it the
0:43
Speaker 1: book end, one on each side. Oh yeah, that's called
0:45
Speaker 1: milking it people. So it's Andrews Hurst and myself again
0:51
Speaker 1: here this morning. Great to have you with us. We
0:53
Speaker 1: take it till ten o'clock and we do have Monday
0:55
Speaker 1: Morning quarterback coming today. Our reaction or actually Hughes reaction
0:59
Speaker 1: to yeah, today's loss to the Tennessee Titans. More on
1:02
Speaker 1: that in a moment. We also have Greg Belt joining
1:05
Speaker 1: us here in about two minutes. I will tell you
1:08
Speaker 1: we've got some breaking news to throw into our headlines,
1:10
Speaker 1: brought to you by Frost Brewed Corp's Light Choose Chill,
1:14
Speaker 1: and they both are Brown related. Dana Brown has been
1:17
Speaker 1: fired by the Houston Astros as their general managers. So
1:21
Speaker 1: a first place team under five hundred and the Astros
1:27
Speaker 1: not acceptable. They have moved on from Dana Brown as
1:31
Speaker 1: their general manager. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns, this is actually
1:35
Speaker 1: shocking to me. I thought Todd Munkin being dismissive about
1:40
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's comments over the weekend would not have any
1:43
Speaker 1: effect on this decision. We're gonna make it quarterback, was
1:46
Speaker 1: suggesting that he was going to be named the backup quarterback.
1:50
Speaker 1: I misread that. I don't want to play poker with
1:53
Speaker 1: Todd Mounkin. I might want to play football against him
1:56
Speaker 1: because I don't think he's very good and I don't
1:58
Speaker 1: think this is a very good decision. But Deshaun Watson
2:02
Speaker 1: was named the starting quarterback by the Cleveland Browns this morning,
2:07
Speaker 1: So there you go.
2:08
Speaker 2: Makes you think if it even was his decision.
2:10
Speaker 1: I don't know, controversial, obviously, very angry. Yeah, hasn't been
2:16
Speaker 1: good in a long time. Deshaun Watson will be the
2:19
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. As for the rest
2:22
Speaker 1: of your headlines, the Seahawks fell to zero and two
2:25
Speaker 1: in the preseason with a nineteen sixteen loss in Nashville
2:28
Speaker 1: against the Titans last night. There is a silver lining here.
2:33
Speaker 1: They were up sixteen to three with their second stringers
2:37
Speaker 1: facing the Titans first stringers. It's the third and fourth
2:41
Speaker 1: stringers that's the real problem with the Seahawks.
2:45
Speaker 2: Clearly, yeah, clear, absolutely, it's gonna hold him back.
2:48
Speaker 1: Bad news. Bud Clark broke his ankle last night early
2:53
Speaker 1: in the contest. He's gonna miss months, maybe the entire season.
2:58
Speaker 1: That packed onto. Jake bow injured in the joint practice
3:02
Speaker 1: on Friday, also out for the season, and backup lineman
3:06
Speaker 1: Mason Richmond, who was there was some suggestion that his
3:10
Speaker 1: value just kept increasing throughout this training camp. He might
3:14
Speaker 1: also be out for a long period of time. So
3:17
Speaker 1: not a good weekend on the injury front. More on
3:20
Speaker 1: that with Greg here in a moment. Uh, we are
3:23
Speaker 1: thirteen days away from the Apple Cup. That's right, it's
3:26
Speaker 1: almost here. Also, the Sounders snapped their losing streak with
3:31
Speaker 1: a draw against Cincinnati on Saturday, but hey, it's a
3:34
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. And the Mariners, even though
3:37
Speaker 1: they lost an embarrassing fashion again based on the final
3:42
Speaker 1: score nineteen to two yesterday behind a struggling Bryce Miller.
3:46
Speaker 1: They did take two out of three from the Cubs
3:49
Speaker 1: over the weekend and moved a game up in the
3:52
Speaker 1: American League West. They sit three games back. They'll take
3:55
Speaker 1: on the Phillies tonight in a fantastic pitching matchup Logan
3:59
Speaker 1: Gilbert against Act Wheeler. First pitch is at six forty.
4:03
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Greg.
4:04
Speaker 3: As part of our continuing NFL coverage for the twelfth Man.
4:08

4:29
Speaker 1: Greg and Nashville for one more day. From what I understand,
4:33
Speaker 1: you'll be doing your show and then you're on your
4:34
Speaker 1: way back.
4:35
Speaker 4: Correct, right, I'll be here to see me.
4:38
Speaker 1: Okay, do you get enough of Nashville? You've had enough
4:41
Speaker 1: of Nashville? Are you ready to come home? Or would
4:43
Speaker 1: you just like to, you know, stay there for another
4:45
Speaker 1: ten days or so?
4:49
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I am ready to come home. Okay, there's yeah,
4:53
Speaker 4: I'm too old to keep going out in Nashville every night. Yeah,
4:58
Speaker 4: another town.
4:59
Speaker 1: At least you're going out every night. I love that.
5:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I was.
5:05
Speaker 1: I was keep that active, active social life, that Bell family.
5:11
Speaker 1: I love that. All right, Let's let's get to let's
5:15
Speaker 1: start with the bad. Let's start with the headline here,
5:18
Speaker 1: the devastation of losing a player in a preseason game.
5:24
Speaker 1: Bud Clark looks like he's going to be out for
5:26
Speaker 1: the year. What are you hearing about the injury? What
5:29
Speaker 1: can you tell us about the mood over this loss?
5:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, broken ankle, you said at the time. Mike McDonald
5:37
Speaker 4: confirmed that after the game, there was an air cast
5:40
Speaker 4: put on him right away and the players when he
5:43
Speaker 4: was on the back of the cart. I mean, there's
5:45
Speaker 4: ninety one players counting guys that didn't play last night
5:48
Speaker 4: on the sidelines, and I think it was eighty seven
5:51
Speaker 4: or eighty eight of them that came off the field
5:54
Speaker 4: onto the field, and we're around him and coming up
5:57
Speaker 4: to him and Patton on the back. He looks stunned
6:01
Speaker 4: through my binoculars, and I mean the shock of a
6:04
Speaker 4: young player who has his whole career ahead of him,
6:08
Speaker 4: and the fact that he was starting to gain momentum
6:10
Speaker 4: as a potential option that the Seahawks, Mike McDonald and
6:13
Speaker 4: his coaching staff began the training camp give him the nick.
6:17
Speaker 4: Even Worri Trup, Remember we talked about how they were
6:19
Speaker 4: fire Hose and Bud Clark and trying to move him
6:21
Speaker 4: to hybrid linebacker and sometimes in the slot and back
6:25
Speaker 4: of the deep safety and it didn't take. He wasn't
6:28
Speaker 4: grasping all of that and it was just overwhelming him
6:31
Speaker 4: loving him. So in the last week and a half
6:33
Speaker 4: or so, they have moved Clark back to deep safety
6:37
Speaker 4: and just said go be the athlete in ballhawk that
6:40
Speaker 4: you were at TCU and the reason we drafted you.
6:43
Speaker 4: And he was starting to flourish, and the coaches were
6:46
Speaker 4: starting to decide, well, maybe we're just going to have
6:49
Speaker 4: his athleticism in the back deep safety and there he
6:53
Speaker 4: could be an option instead of Tyo Kata starting next
6:57
Speaker 4: to Julian Love. And they were starting to that or
7:01
Speaker 4: even in matchups saying, well, against certain teams that run
7:04
Speaker 4: certain deeper deep middle pass patterns, perhaps we'll put Clark in,
7:09
Speaker 4: and if there's more cerebral crossing and reading, we'll put
7:12
Speaker 4: tyle Cott in. That's how far, but Clark had come
7:16
Speaker 4: in his evolution during training camp, and then for all
7:19
Speaker 4: of it to end in one play, the very first
7:21
Speaker 4: defensive play last night. Yeah, they I saw Julian in
7:26
Speaker 4: love with a tie over his head and head down
7:29
Speaker 4: and players are on their knees. And I asked Mike
7:32
Speaker 4: McDonald what he said to him Clark, and he said,
7:35
Speaker 4: I just hugged him at halftime, implying that he didn't
7:38
Speaker 4: need to say anything, couldn't say anything that would make
7:40
Speaker 4: Clark feel any better. Not to mention, and this is
7:44
Speaker 4: a very secondary point. Not to mention. Then he had
7:47
Speaker 4: to get on a plane with his ankle broken and
7:51
Speaker 4: throbbing and fly four and a half hours back to
7:53
Speaker 4: Seattle and get in at four in the morning. I mean,
7:58
Speaker 4: the NFL is a old, brutal business. It is same
8:02
Speaker 4: for Mason Richmond. Richmond was playing guard, center and tackle
8:05
Speaker 4: through Locke made the point of sand during the joint
8:07
Speaker 4: practice on Friday. How Richmond just came in to tackle
8:10
Speaker 4: when they had a couple of guys get banged up.
8:13
Speaker 4: If you can play multiple positions decently to well in
8:16
Speaker 4: the NFL, they they'll keep here on the roster and
8:19
Speaker 4: find a spot for you, because that's there's a big
8:20
Speaker 4: on game days, you can have one fewer offensive linemen
8:23
Speaker 4: available if a guy can play three spots, as Richmond
8:26
Speaker 4: was starting to do draft pick last year, and that
8:30
Speaker 4: was like the fourth play of the offensive first series
8:33
Speaker 4: that he went down right leg injury. I saw doctor
8:37
Speaker 4: Ray Calvin trying to stretch his right leg out wooden straighten,
8:41
Speaker 4: and McDonald said, that's a major injury too. And we
8:43
Speaker 4: know now from Friday at the joint practice here at
8:46
Speaker 4: Jake Bobo's season ending knee injury. Bobo fortunately has a
8:50
Speaker 4: four and a half million dollar guarantee in that two
8:52
Speaker 4: year contract. He signed a Seahawks match with the Jaguars,
8:56
Speaker 4: but that doesn't make him feel any better at the moment.
8:59
Speaker 4: It's it's why, the best way I could say it
9:03
Speaker 4: this weekend, guys, is why the Seahawks don't put starters
9:06
Speaker 4: in preseason games. It's why Jim Price, Jenarian Price is
9:10
Speaker 4: not going to play in the preseason. It's why probably
9:13
Speaker 4: all twenty two of the starters are not going to
9:15
Speaker 4: play the entire preseason. Their first snap since Super Bowl
9:19
Speaker 4: sixties looks like it's going to be September ninth in
9:22
Speaker 4: the opener because of what's happened last night.
9:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I get it. Greg bellis with us,
9:26
Speaker 1: our Seahawks insider reporting from Nashville. Of course, you can
9:30
Speaker 1: follo him at g Bell Seattle on X and you
9:33
Speaker 1: can go to the Newstribune dot com, get yourself a
9:35
Speaker 1: subscription for this year and follow them all the time.
9:39
Speaker 1: All Right. I could go on with this topic because
9:41
Speaker 1: it's obviously huge, but there are some other things that
9:44
Speaker 1: I did want to discuss with you. I mean, I
9:47
Speaker 1: know the team lost last night nineteen to sixteen, but
9:49
Speaker 1: the second stringers were beating the Tennessee's first stringers sixteen
9:53
Speaker 1: to three at one point in the second quarter. So
9:57
Speaker 1: from a football perspective, did Mike see what he needed
10:01
Speaker 1: to see last night from his team?
10:04
Speaker 4: Yeah? He was happy. He said that they took a step,
10:08
Speaker 4: that they definitely improved, that the week helped them. He
10:11
Speaker 4: liked the operation. They were much more urgent. He really
10:15
Speaker 4: stressed for them running out of the huddle, running to
10:17
Speaker 4: the ball, running back to the huddle, and playing at
10:19
Speaker 4: a pace. And they looked in that regard, not just
10:22
Speaker 4: last night, but in the joint practice against the Titans
10:25
Speaker 4: on Friday that was really noticeable to me that the
10:28
Speaker 4: starting especially the starters, the Seahawks just looked like a
10:32
Speaker 4: pro outfit. I mean crisp. They were crisp and changing
10:37
Speaker 4: plays at the line. They were crisp and running. It
10:39
Speaker 4: was one hundred degrees on the field Friday, I mean
10:42
Speaker 4: it was like a sauna. Everyone around saying it was
10:45
Speaker 4: the hottest of the joint practice of the Seahawks have had.
10:48
Speaker 4: And the Seahawks looked like a much faster, smoother operation.
10:51
Speaker 4: I mean Titans looked like a three and fourteen team
10:54
Speaker 4: and turned in that regard. I also say this between
10:57
Speaker 4: the joint practice and last night, but especially Friday, and
10:59
Speaker 4: the Titans made a huge deal of this. Their players
11:04
Speaker 4: were yelling and crowing. Jeffrey Simmons was mocking the Seahawks
11:08
Speaker 4: and the Super Bowl champions blah blah blah, and then
11:11
Speaker 4: they were really The Titans were going for it and
11:14
Speaker 4: the Seahawks were just here to get work in and
11:16
Speaker 4: the starters were trying to get the most work of
11:19
Speaker 4: the preseason. They looked like what they were, a very
11:22
Speaker 4: accomplished team that has won the Super Bowl six months
11:24
Speaker 4: ago against a three and fourteen team with a new
11:26
Speaker 4: fiery head coach Robert Sava, who was trying to kick
11:29
Speaker 4: them in the ass, and it was really different. It
11:34
Speaker 4: was the Seahawks are kind of taken aback by how
11:37
Speaker 4: it was like these little kids were at their feet
11:39
Speaker 4: playing in the playground in the sandbox. At one point,
11:43
Speaker 4: Saw had the Titans go no huddle during the joint
11:47
Speaker 4: practice on Friday. That was unscripted. They weren't supposed to
11:50
Speaker 4: do that. It was usually the joint practice. The beauty
11:53
Speaker 4: of it as the coaches get to script everything and
11:55
Speaker 4: Sawa goes no huddle on them. That was the only
11:57
Speaker 4: time the starting offense for the Titans did anything against
12:00
Speaker 4: the Seahawks starting defense driving down the field. I will
12:05
Speaker 4: tell you that the Seahawks coaches were abused about that
12:10
Speaker 4: the first time in their careers that a coach went
12:13
Speaker 4: no huddle unscripted on him. Just try to get it
12:15
Speaker 4: up her in. Wow.
12:17
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jacarti a right. I mean, yes, he
12:19
Speaker 1: had the sixty nine yard explosive play touchdown, very great highlight.
12:25
Speaker 1: But the rest of the game seven carries twelve yards.
12:28
Speaker 1: So what am I to make of his performance last night?
12:32
Speaker 1: And whether or not in a thin running back room.
12:35
Speaker 1: He impressed people enough.
12:38
Speaker 4: He impressed people because he didn't get hurt and because
12:41
Speaker 4: he actually it was improvisational that touchdown run. He was
12:44
Speaker 4: telling us after the game that his coaches are constant,
12:47
Speaker 4: Thomas Hammock and the line coach John Bentn are constantly
12:50
Speaker 4: saying on that particular play a counterplay, your aiming point,
12:54
Speaker 4: your target gap is the A gap, and that's important
12:58
Speaker 4: because the linemen need to know where the back's going
12:59
Speaker 4: to go. Oh, he can't freelance. Well on that, play
13:02
Speaker 4: Wright did freelance. He said he went outside the A gap.
13:05
Speaker 4: He went outside the guard rather than inside the guard
13:07
Speaker 4: the A guess the guard center gap, and the right
13:10
Speaker 4: hit that wide of that and that's why he said,
13:14
Speaker 4: I saw a gap that was not in the A gap,
13:15
Speaker 4: and I thought I can get through that, and he did.
13:18
Speaker 4: He also picked up a great downfield block. And if
13:20
Speaker 4: receivers are bucking down the field effectively, then you get
13:23
Speaker 4: big runs like that. But yeah, so I said, also,
13:26
Speaker 4: you want rogue on that, and he said, yeah, I did.
13:29
Speaker 4: But the Seahawks like that too. Coaches like that too.
13:32
Speaker 4: They like a running back who has instincts and it
13:35
Speaker 4: can see more than the tunnel vision of the whole
13:37
Speaker 4: ahead of the orders, a sign that was a promising
13:39
Speaker 4: part of that sixty nine yard run. The fact he's healthy,
13:43
Speaker 4: the fact that he's producing, means he'll get more chances.
13:46
Speaker 4: He could break a Seahawks preseason record, if there's such
13:49
Speaker 4: a thing for Kerri's Friday Night in Kansas City. Because
13:51
Speaker 4: of the injuries and bubble wrap over Jarring Price and
13:55
Speaker 4: George Hallane, I think Wright took a step of saying
13:58
Speaker 4: I'm available because he had missed a couple weeks of
14:01
Speaker 4: his training camp himself with a lower leg injury and unproductive.
14:06
Speaker 4: They they're looking for guys that are just that at
14:08
Speaker 4: the running back position, and so yes, he took a
14:10
Speaker 4: big step forward last night.
14:12
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jaylen Milroe because I actually thought he
14:15
Speaker 1: took a step forward. I thought he looked better in
14:17
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and then I thought he took three
14:19
Speaker 1: steps back in the fourth quarter, like holding onto the
14:22
Speaker 1: ball to like an embarrassing level in the fourth quarter.
14:26
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that he's operating with guys that are
14:29
Speaker 1: going to be cut here in a week, and that
14:32
Speaker 1: had some effect on it. But taking the two quarters
14:35
Speaker 1: together was did they come away feeling like Milroe showed
14:39
Speaker 1: progress overall or regression.
14:43
Speaker 4: I think he's regressing, and I think the court of
14:45
Speaker 4: the coaches may feel that too, because of decision making.
14:50
Speaker 4: The most egregious play last night was the same most
14:52
Speaker 4: egregious play yet against Dallas in the first game. Fourth down,
14:57
Speaker 4: and you extend the play, yes, to try to find them,
14:59
Speaker 4: but then you do you have to throw the ball.
15:01
Speaker 4: You don't take a sack on fourth down because you
15:03
Speaker 4: don't give your players, any of the other dead players
15:05
Speaker 4: a chance to do any for you if you hold
15:07
Speaker 4: the ball. Yes, he got pass rushing in on him
15:10
Speaker 4: against third team linemen, but this is his chance. He's
15:14
Speaker 4: not going to like he's going to be playing during
15:16
Speaker 4: the regular season. The decision they had to make on
15:19
Speaker 4: where Jalen Nolroh's future is in the offense, and in fact,
15:22
Speaker 4: the decision the Seahawks have to make after this season
15:24
Speaker 4: on whether to give through Lock another contract. It's being
15:27
Speaker 4: decided right now. And on fourth down you have to throw.
15:31
Speaker 4: I asked McDonald specifically about that play on fourth down
15:34
Speaker 4: last night. He says, well, you don't just want to
15:36
Speaker 4: just chuck it up that we get a pick six,
15:38
Speaker 4: But yeah, you want to give your receivers a chance
15:41
Speaker 4: on fourth down and get rid of the ball. There.
15:43
Speaker 4: That's two weeks in a row. He's done that. The interceptions,
15:47
Speaker 4: the first one, every quarterback in the NFL is going
15:50
Speaker 4: to get the same thing happened to him. Throw late
15:51
Speaker 4: over the middle. That's a recipe for an interception. He
15:54
Speaker 4: not only threw late over the middle, he was three
15:56
Speaker 4: yards behind Foster. That was just a poor throw right
15:59
Speaker 4: to the linebacker product ball was coming to him. The
16:02
Speaker 4: second interception was not his fault. Emmanuel Henderson. Milroe got
16:07
Speaker 4: away from pressure, was rolling out for the right. Henderson
16:09
Speaker 4: was standing there and ready for the past. That's what
16:12
Speaker 4: Milroe saw and he threw it and as soon as
16:14
Speaker 4: he turned to go get the ball, Henderson fell down
16:18
Speaker 4: and the ball went exactly where Henderson's chest would have
16:20
Speaker 4: been if he was still standing, but he was on
16:23
Speaker 4: the ground, all over his head and went straight to
16:25
Speaker 4: the Titans guy who is behind Henderson. It looks like
16:28
Speaker 4: two interceptions, as McDonald pointed out when I talked about that,
16:31
Speaker 4: and he said that that isn't quite the whole story
16:34
Speaker 4: on Milroe. But the summation, Chuck is he has to
16:37
Speaker 4: be better right now when they this is the only
16:40
Speaker 4: stuff that gained stuff they have to go on about
16:43
Speaker 4: where he is moving forward.
16:45
Speaker 1: Just I'm run through a list. Connor o'tool two sacks.
16:48
Speaker 1: Chas Sarratt was active. He felt like he was everywhere,
16:52
Speaker 1: and Neami Pritchett made a nice play in the backfield.
16:54
Speaker 1: Brandon Peely did his daily or every preseason game he
16:58
Speaker 1: blows up at least one running play. He did that,
17:00
Speaker 1: and then Chris Paul Junior CP two was everywhere in
17:05
Speaker 1: the first quarter or so of Yeah, any I'm just
17:09
Speaker 1: giving you five guys. Maybe it's somebody else. Give me
17:11
Speaker 1: one guy that may have turned some heads last night.
17:15
Speaker 4: Well, Chess Suratt messed up an assignment on a long
17:18
Speaker 4: pass play that he ran into it. Big monogonyis trying
17:22
Speaker 4: to get out to a receiver. Yeah, it cause like
17:24
Speaker 4: a twenty five year past that was an assignment there
17:26
Speaker 4: by Chess Huratt. So that'll be a minus me and
17:29
Speaker 4: my Pritchett. That one of the only jobs still available
17:33
Speaker 4: was the third cornerback position, and they wanted me and
17:36
Speaker 4: I preach it to win it that this is the
17:37
Speaker 4: job that the will When Rik Willen went to sign
17:41
Speaker 4: with the Eagles, and the Seahoux decided not to keep him.
17:44
Speaker 4: They wanted to keep him, and the coaching staff is
17:46
Speaker 4: feeling the effect of that one of not keeping him.
17:49
Speaker 4: Pritchett started training camp as the third corner, but he
17:51
Speaker 4: wasn't tackling anybody. He wasn't tackling anybody in tackling. It
17:54
Speaker 4: wouldn't tackle anybody in the preseason games. And if you
17:57
Speaker 4: don't tackle a corner for McDonald, you're not going to
18:00
Speaker 4: play well. Last night on the bubble screen, he beat
18:04
Speaker 4: He read it right away, he came up fast, he
18:07
Speaker 4: beat the blocker, and then he made a short tackle
18:10
Speaker 4: for a two yard game. That was the best play
18:12
Speaker 4: pritche It's made in three years for the Seahawks. That Oh,
18:16
Speaker 4: he had an interception that was pretty his first career
18:18
Speaker 4: interception last season, but we're given the stakes because Ignogmy
18:22
Speaker 4: has taken his spot as the primary third corner lately.
18:26
Speaker 4: That was a huge play because they the only reason
18:28
Speaker 4: Pritchett lost the ground to Igbinogary in training campus because
18:31
Speaker 4: he wasn't tackling anybody. So he did exactly what the
18:34
Speaker 4: coach was opening to see. Igminaguri had a really ticky
18:36
Speaker 4: tech pass interference penalty earlier in the game that wasn't
18:39
Speaker 4: a pass interference down the sideline, but then he ran
18:42
Speaker 4: into surat to cause the big play. They were trying
18:46
Speaker 4: to use last night to determine who might be the
18:48
Speaker 4: third corner In the meantime, Trevon Diggs did go full
18:50
Speaker 4: go in warm ups last night, second practice and signing
18:54
Speaker 4: to call last night's warm up of practice. He signed,
18:56
Speaker 4: of course, on Wednesday, the former Cowboys All Pro. They're
18:59
Speaker 4: trying to get him ready to somehow play Friday night
19:01
Speaker 4: in Kansas City. They think he's got if he's healthy,
19:05
Speaker 4: which he says he is, and they think he is
19:08
Speaker 4: he could be that third cornerback like coming from way
19:11
Speaker 4: back at the top of the stretch and winning at
19:13
Speaker 4: the wire. They just want to see more of him
19:16
Speaker 4: to see if he could possibly be ready to do
19:17
Speaker 4: that job. And then of course they have Taron Arnold.
19:20
Speaker 4: I'm told they may sign him this week, and that's
19:24
Speaker 4: because they may have determined that they're willing to cut
19:26
Speaker 4: somebody to add him to the roster for a day
19:28
Speaker 4: or two before he goes on the exemp list. The
19:30
Speaker 4: hope still the Seahawks think that he can play at
19:33
Speaker 4: some point this season, maybe halfway through it, or so
19:36
Speaker 4: if the case legal case breaks his way in Florida,
19:40
Speaker 4: they think, in the perfect best case scenario that they're
19:43
Speaker 4: going to gain two third quarterbacks here in the next
19:45
Speaker 4: few months and weeks between Jags and.
19:48
Speaker 1: Roum thirty seconds left. Any reason to worry about Jason Myers.
19:53
Speaker 1: He's pushing everything to the right.
19:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, the extra point
19:58
Speaker 4: was fifteen yards further back because of the celebration penalty
20:02
Speaker 4: that McDonald dared those guys that get and they finally
20:04
Speaker 4: got it and it happens, and it's a preest. Yes,
20:09
Speaker 4: I don't think Jason Meyer suddenly is terrible or that
20:12
Speaker 4: he's lost it or kickings that it's not like a
20:15
Speaker 4: perishable skill that your physical physical more than Anderson kick
20:18
Speaker 4: to be he was seventy years old or whatever it was.
20:21
Speaker 4: I don't think so. It's noticeable, though it is noticeable,
20:25
Speaker 4: but I don't see a cause for alarm or bringing
20:27
Speaker 4: in somebody.
20:28
Speaker 1: All right, Uh, well, a lot to discuss on the
20:30
Speaker 1: show today, then, yeah.
20:32
Speaker 4: It sure is. Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna dive into this.
20:36
Speaker 4: Jaylen Milroe and have a little discussion on what Drew
20:40
Speaker 4: Locke talked h because Drew Lock had the same problem.
20:42
Speaker 4: The thing with Milroe is he's really good in practice
20:46
Speaker 4: lately in training camp because they don't practice what happens
20:49
Speaker 4: in games, which is you get hit and guys are
20:51
Speaker 4: coming in on you. And Drew Lock had the same
20:54
Speaker 4: problem early in his career in Denver, which is why
20:56
Speaker 4: they Francos gave up on him. Is that when he's pressured,
20:58
Speaker 4: he makes mistakes.
20:59
Speaker 1: And that's what happened in all right, Greg, thank you, sir.
21:02
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Enjoying the last day in Nashville. Will
21:05
Speaker 1: be listening at ten.
21:06
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks Monday, Greg Bell.
21:09
Speaker 1: He'll be able to empty the notebook for you. A
21:11
Speaker 1: lot of things to discuss with the Seahawks, and so
21:14
Speaker 1: that comes your way today at ten o'clock. Coming up
21:17
Speaker 1: next on our show, we'll hear from the head coach,
21:19
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald. That's right, Mike on the mic. Next on
21:23
Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. Great morning to
21:29
Speaker 1: you all, Mike McDonald, Yes, it's Mike on the mic.
21:32
Speaker 1: Here audio from last night, the preseason game in which
21:36
Speaker 1: the team lost nineteen to sixteen to the Tennessee Titans
21:39
Speaker 1: in one of the most excruciating experiences of my life.
21:43
Speaker 1: You can store that as the officials continue to over
21:46
Speaker 1: officiate a game.
21:48
Speaker 2: God, Oh that's don't even get me started on that
21:50
Speaker 2: many right, Just are you kidding me?
21:52
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, you're you're starting. You're working
21:54
Speaker 1: on your stuff too. But the ticki tac things that
21:59
Speaker 1: you called to slow that game down, I mean there
22:02
Speaker 1: were like five six bad calls like that shouldn't be
22:07
Speaker 1: in an irregular season game, much less than a preseason
22:09
Speaker 1: game where we're just trying to get through it.
22:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, when the advocate for running clock from Softy for
22:15
Speaker 2: preseason games even more is emphasized when you have just
22:19
Speaker 2: constant stoppages from the refs, exactly, it's.
22:23
Speaker 1: Cleete Blakeman detection, you know, protection is to have a
22:28
Speaker 1: running clock. So he just kept trying to extend a game,
22:31
Speaker 1: while obviously on the Seahawks sidelines, they're like, I don't
22:34
Speaker 1: want to see one more person hurt. Can we just
22:37
Speaker 1: get this thing over with? Mike McDonald, the football coach,
22:41
Speaker 1: spoke afterwards, even though I would love if the Rock
22:45
Speaker 1: and Roll Hall of Famer would have spoken about our
22:48
Speaker 1: injuries afterwards, here's the football coach talking about Bud Clark
22:52
Speaker 1: and others.
22:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had a two really tough injuries today. So
22:56
Speaker 5: Bud has a broken ankle to my knowledge, severity, I'm
23:00
Speaker 5: not sure, but he's gonna be out multiple months and then, uh,
23:07
Speaker 5: but we're gonna we're gonna try to figure out what's
23:08
Speaker 5: going on with Mason. But we also think that's a
23:11
Speaker 5: major injury, a long term injury. So two guys that
23:15
Speaker 5: we love that play our style ball, that are our
23:17
Speaker 5: type of guys. Teammates love them, great teammates, great guys,
23:21
Speaker 5: great football players, they have great futures. It's a uh,
23:25
Speaker 5: it's a really it's a heartbreaker. Honestly, we've got three
23:27
Speaker 5: heartbreakers this week, which is which is stuff?
23:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean I know that those
23:34
Speaker 1: three guys. I mean, obviously, Bud Cluck's made quite the
23:36
Speaker 1: impact in terms of likability. For sure. We all know
23:40
Speaker 1: that Jake Bobo's special little place on this team. I
23:43
Speaker 1: mean he's getting roof roofing commercials for goodness sake. Uh,
23:47
Speaker 1: And so we know his special little role that he's
23:51
Speaker 1: got on this team, and that the players you know,
23:54
Speaker 1: Bobo is a favorite in that clubhouse, and then Mason
23:58
Speaker 1: Richmond was starting to establish that as well with his
24:01
Speaker 1: teammates this year. So a collection of second stringers right now,
24:07
Speaker 1: how big of an impact can that have on your team?
24:09
Speaker 1: To lose them all for the season. How likable do
24:13
Speaker 1: three people have to be in the locker room that
24:15
Speaker 1: if you lose them all at once, that it could
24:17
Speaker 1: have some sort of negatible, negative tangible effect on the
24:21
Speaker 1: outcomes of games this year. I don't know, probably not
24:25
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't help I know that much. But I think
24:31
Speaker 1: back to what Greg said in the last segment. I mean,
24:34
Speaker 1: this is why you don't play the starters, because as
24:37
Speaker 1: bad as it is to lose a Bobo and a
24:39
Speaker 1: Clark and Richmond, I'm not even going to mention other names,
24:43
Speaker 1: but you could imagine if three other names, oh yeah,
24:47
Speaker 1: were to go down, how we would be feeling right now.
24:51
Speaker 1: I would tell you, if you want to start a petition,
24:55
Speaker 1: hand it around town about getting rid of preseason football entirely,
25:00
Speaker 1: if I sign, yeah, yeah, let's do it, let's do it.
25:02
Speaker 1: I mean, college football doesn't need a preseason schedule. They
25:06
Speaker 1: just they play in the games count right off the bat.
25:09
Speaker 1: Same with high school football. I mean, and these are
25:12
Speaker 1: the most practiced experts at football that we have in
25:18
Speaker 1: the world, So why they need these tune ups. The
25:21
Speaker 1: truth is they don't need these tune ups, and so
25:26
Speaker 1: I'd like to get rid of all of it. But
25:28
Speaker 1: as long as you are playing it, you have to
25:31
Speaker 1: put someone on the field, and it's football, and I
25:34
Speaker 1: don't care if you're just playing in the backyard. There's
25:37
Speaker 1: a chance that he's getting hurt. And that's what we're
25:40
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with right now. Without Bud Clark,
25:43
Speaker 1: Jake Bobo, and Mason Richmond going forward, three valuable backups,
25:47
Speaker 1: and of course Clark with the opportunity to at some
25:50
Speaker 1: point maybe see some starting time.
25:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I definitely saw a reality where, you know,
25:55
Speaker 2: maybe Tyder kind of starts the season as that in
25:57
Speaker 2: that safety role, but if the season goes on, Bud
26:00
Speaker 2: Calrr continues to impress, you could have, I think, wrenched
26:02
Speaker 2: that away from him, but I guess that's kind of
26:03
Speaker 2: out of the picture now.
26:04
Speaker 4: Now.
26:05
Speaker 1: One point that I do want to make again, and
26:08
Speaker 1: I've already made it a couple of times. If you're
26:10
Speaker 1: just joining us that, yeah, we lost the game nineteen
26:14
Speaker 1: to sixteen, but at one point you were up sixteen
26:17
Speaker 1: to three in the second quarter, and Tennessee still had
26:20
Speaker 1: its starters in on both sides of the ball. Yeah,
26:23
Speaker 1: while the Seahawks never played a starter in this game,
26:26
Speaker 1: so you were your second string was up thirteen points
26:32
Speaker 1: on the Tennessee Titan, another NFL team's first string team
26:37
Speaker 1: deep into the second quarter. Here's Mike McDonald talking about that.
26:41
Speaker 5: The things we said we wanted to improve on from
26:43
Speaker 5: from last week, I think we did those things. So
26:46
Speaker 5: operation wise, just how we get out of the huddle,
26:49
Speaker 5: how we take the line, how we you know, all
26:52
Speaker 5: those all those kind of before the play type of
26:55
Speaker 5: things that we wanted to improve on. I think I
26:56
Speaker 5: think we did, which is great. How we played physically, thought,
27:00
Speaker 5: I thought we rushed the passer really well. It's good
27:02
Speaker 5: to see the run game, you know, get off a
27:04
Speaker 5: little bit on the first half. Be great to run
27:06
Speaker 5: it better in the second half. A lot of good things,
27:10
Speaker 5: a lot of good things.
27:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike McDonald saw a lot of good things. And
27:13
Speaker 1: there were and there were a few guys that flash
27:16
Speaker 1: in this. Where where did Chris Paul the junior come from?
27:19
Speaker 1: Is that CP three son?
27:20
Speaker 4: I mean, I.
27:24
Speaker 1: Would CP three son be CP two, No, he'd be
27:27
Speaker 1: CP four, Yeah, I would assume. Yeah, but I was
27:30
Speaker 1: going to say that kid really grew up, or would
27:32
Speaker 1: be CP six That cute, cute little darling that used
27:36
Speaker 1: to be his postgame press conferences really grew up fast.
27:39
Speaker 1: That's so true. Yeah, but he flashed a little bit.
27:43
Speaker 1: Uh Brandon Peely, he always flashes. Conraro'toole had two sacks.
27:48
Speaker 1: So a few different guys turned some heads. There are
27:51
Speaker 1: a couple of guys had bad days. Jaylen Milroe had
27:54
Speaker 1: a bad day. Third quarter I didn't think was that bad.
27:57
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter was a disaster hikes. Also Kobe White, Cody
28:02
Speaker 1: White had a rough night. The muff punt, Yeah, muff
28:05
Speaker 1: punt and it probably should have caught the deep ball
28:08
Speaker 1: and then had to limp off the field. So he
28:10
Speaker 1: didn't exactly have one for the scrap book last night.
28:15
Speaker 1: Jason Myers looks like he's kicking everything right at this point.
28:19
Speaker 1: I don't know what for a kicker is accomplished as him.
28:22
Speaker 1: If that's an easy correction, I know exactly what I'm
28:24
Speaker 1: doing wrong, and I'll get that corrected by next week.
28:26
Speaker 1: But this is two weeks in a row that he's
28:28
Speaker 1: pushed everything right. And I'll say this about them just
28:33
Speaker 1: quickly because I don't know if this will come up again.
28:36
Speaker 1: If that Julius Chestnut gets waived by the Tennessee Titans,
28:40
Speaker 1: I'll take him.
28:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he looked good. He look really good. And
28:44
Speaker 1: he's and I'm like, who is this rookie? And then
28:46
Speaker 1: they're like, no, he's been around for six years. I'm like, oh, yeah,
28:50
Speaker 1: it's that chestnut. That that old chestnut, not Joey chestnutt No, no, no,
28:57
Speaker 1: that old chestnut. I thought it was like a new chestnut.
29:00
Speaker 1: This is just that same old chestnut that has been
29:02
Speaker 1: bouncing around the league for a while. But I'll say
29:05
Speaker 1: this like, he was the most productive runner on the
29:08
Speaker 1: field last night, and it looks like he's their fourth stringer,
29:11
Speaker 1: I know. So if the Titans are going to decide, nah,
29:13
Speaker 1: we don't need that guy, you know, do a little
29:16
Speaker 1: scouting there, Johnny.
29:17
Speaker 2: They haven't had a good running back in ages. I
29:20
Speaker 2: got rid of Derrick Henry.
29:21
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next on the radio program, We're
29:24
Speaker 1: gonna squeeze in some ABC's of the ms before Hugh
29:26
Speaker 1: Millon joins us at eight o'clock on Sports Radio ninety
29:29
Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. We do have the ABC's every
29:35
Speaker 1: single day during the baseball season, and I will not
29:39
Speaker 1: short change you. It is time for the abcs of
29:41
Speaker 1: the ms here on the radio show. And we left
29:44
Speaker 1: off Friday with the letter you us four umpires. This
29:50
Speaker 1: is why I don't have statistical evidence to back this up,
29:56
Speaker 1: but there is no question that the home played unpre
30:00
Speaker 1: yesterday got far worse after we used up our challenges,
30:05
Speaker 1: and wastefully by the way I might add, I don't
30:08
Speaker 1: know how cal suddenly got mad at this too, and
30:14
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor is like he needs to have it stripped
30:18
Speaker 1: from him, because Josh Naylor, it's one thing to miss,
30:23
Speaker 1: it's another thing to just situationally tap your helmet. Hey,
30:27
Speaker 1: what on earth are you even challenging for in that moment,
30:31
Speaker 1: and then to smile off and laugh it off like, oh,
30:34
Speaker 1: I barely clipped it, huh, And it clipped it, But
30:38
Speaker 1: you cost the team any challenges for the rest of
30:42
Speaker 1: the game. And I swear anders that umpires, once you
30:46
Speaker 1: lose your challenges, get looser behind behind home plate. That
30:50
Speaker 1: guy blew six seven pitches after Josh Naylor used our
30:55
Speaker 1: last challenge yesterday and he was not missing at that
30:59
Speaker 1: grate of a clip prior to that.
31:01
Speaker 2: Do you think it's a kind of vindictive sort of thing, like, oh, okay, yeah,
31:04
Speaker 2: you guys thought I was screwing up. He'll see now
31:08
Speaker 2: or is it a all right? Now that they're out
31:10
Speaker 2: of challenges, I don't have to be as on the
31:12
Speaker 2: point because there won't be that one.
31:13
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, that yeah. I don't think that he's like,
31:16
Speaker 1: how dare you challenge me? I think that there is
31:19
Speaker 1: though this Oh good, he relaxes a little bit. They
31:23
Speaker 1: can't even challenge it.
31:24
Speaker 2: They won't show it on the big screen for any
31:26
Speaker 2: of these anymore. They can't check my work.
31:27
Speaker 1: Why should I take so much time and then filling
31:30
Speaker 1: out this test if if nobody's going to check the
31:33
Speaker 1: work anymore. True, That's what I think happens, which is
31:36
Speaker 1: another reason to be good with your challenges, which we're not.
31:40
Speaker 1: We are not terrible terri again yesterday VAS four viable.
31:47
Speaker 1: This this sounds like it's under selling this word what
31:50
Speaker 1: Kate Anderson did on Saturday, but the actual definition of
31:55
Speaker 1: the word is capable of working successfully able to live
32:00
Speaker 1: or grow. Yeah, that's what I saw. What we saw Saturday,
32:05
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, we've been waiting a long time,
32:07
Speaker 1: a lot of handwring. When should you bring him up?
32:09
Speaker 1: Is he ready? Don't want to bring him up until
32:11
Speaker 1: he's ready. We've wanted him up for a long time.
32:15
Speaker 1: And when I say we anders myself and a lot
32:17
Speaker 1: of you listening out there. And yet I don't think
32:21
Speaker 1: he was Kate Anderson like on Saturday. I mean, he's
32:25
Speaker 1: just he is a master of command. He's not a
32:28
Speaker 1: master of stuff. He is a master of command, and
32:32
Speaker 1: he was not pitching with great command on Saturday, and
32:36
Speaker 1: yet he was still successful until we kept him in
32:39
Speaker 1: too long. Yeah, but what I saw Saturday plays that works.
32:43
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be sharper in his next outing.
32:46
Speaker 1: It's really intimidating in front of forty five thousand fans
32:49
Speaker 1: to make your major League Baseball debut, and basically you're
32:53
Speaker 1: trying to help save a team's playoff chances. So for
32:56
Speaker 1: him to come up face all of that and be
32:59
Speaker 1: as effective as he was very encouraging. It works. He
33:03
Speaker 1: needs to be in our starting rotation for the rest
33:05
Speaker 1: of the season.
33:06
Speaker 2: Bottom line, Yeah, and considering especially who he was facing,
33:09
Speaker 2: that's an extremely good offense as well, who has hit
33:12
Speaker 2: left handed pitching extremely well all year long. So yeah,
33:16
Speaker 2: I think he's not going to be the guy that
33:17
Speaker 2: throws one hundred and two by you. He's not Paul Skeins,
33:20
Speaker 2: but he's going to command you to death, which and
33:24
Speaker 2: again from the left side, which the Mariners haven't had
33:26
Speaker 2: in a long time. And I think that's a factor here,
33:28
Speaker 2: having a left handed starting pitcher. We've seen it with
33:30
Speaker 2: other teams. They can throw their lefties against us all
33:33
Speaker 2: they want. Maybe we can start doing that the teams,
33:35
Speaker 2: you know.
33:36
Speaker 1: Geez Well, we'll talk more about him being taken from
33:40
Speaker 1: the game a little bit later on in the show.
33:42
Speaker 1: I'll close though with W and that is W is
33:45
Speaker 1: for walks and walks kill and Bryce Miller is not
33:49
Speaker 1: a guy that walks a lot of people, but lately
33:51
Speaker 1: he has been during this rough stretch. There's obviously something
33:55
Speaker 1: not right with Bryce Miller. He was injured to start
33:57
Speaker 1: the year, and then he was our best pitcher for
34:02
Speaker 1: what his first ten starts. I mean, he was I'll
34:04
Speaker 1: pitching everybody on our roster. But whatever's going on right now,
34:09
Speaker 1: he's not right. He's fatiguing. By the third fourth inning,
34:14
Speaker 1: he has certainly the last two starts, he's not been
34:17
Speaker 1: effective in eight starts. There's something wrong with him, and
34:21
Speaker 1: so it's a good thing. Kate Anderson did show what
34:25
Speaker 1: he showed on Saturday, and it's a good thing. Brian
34:28
Speaker 1: Wu w is for Wu had a good bullpen session
34:31
Speaker 1: because I think that crystallizes things. If Bryce has to
34:34
Speaker 1: go on the IL, he has to go on the IL,
34:36
Speaker 1: and I don't think they should have a problem, and
34:39
Speaker 1: I don't think Bryce should have a problem if they
34:41
Speaker 1: make the decision how about out of the bullpen? It
34:44
Speaker 1: feels like you're okay for a couple of innings and
34:47
Speaker 1: then by the third and fourth right now you're turning
34:50
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin. So why not use him out of
34:53
Speaker 1: the bullpen for a little while? And if he starts
34:56
Speaker 1: the show Bryce Miller's strength again in power, then you
35:00
Speaker 1: maybe promote from within at that point. But right now,
35:04
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear cut that he needs to
35:07
Speaker 1: be outside the rotation looking in whether that's an IL
35:10
Speaker 1: stint or a move to the bullpen.
35:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, the biggest question for me is a why didn't
35:13
Speaker 2: they do the surgery in the off season, because that's
35:15
Speaker 2: loving even larger now because I don't know if that
35:18
Speaker 2: is actually having an effect on it. It just is
35:21
Speaker 2: another reason why you should have dealt with it in
35:23
Speaker 2: the off season and then and then come back, because
35:25
Speaker 2: he even started the season with an injury even with
35:27
Speaker 2: not having the surgery, so and this is now two
35:30
Speaker 2: straight seasons of something going on with him injury wise,
35:33
Speaker 2: So I just don't know. One more of these little
35:36
Speaker 2: hiccups could mean not really a future of starting pitching
35:39
Speaker 2: for him, So that sucks.
35:40
Speaker 1: Well, we do have another starter who in the minors
35:45
Speaker 1: is elite. Ooh looks elite and might even be better
35:48
Speaker 1: than Kate Anderson. All right, coming up next, you Mellan
35:51
Speaker 1: will join us. It's Monday morning quarterback time on Sports
35:54
