- 1:09Speaker 3: We're gonna cue that music tomorrow, Yes we will.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Let's go, here we go. We have Greg co Cell
- 1:15Speaker 2: coming up here in just a few minutes, our buddy
- 1:18Speaker 2: Greg Cosel from NFL Films, ESPN Matchup Show. We're gonna
- 1:21Speaker 2: talk NFL Draft obviously with him, we're gonna talk about
- 1:24Speaker 2: edge rushers today, and there's a lot of there's a
- 1:27Speaker 2: lot of conversation out there. One of the things I
- 1:30Speaker 2: want to talk about with him is what an edge
- 1:32Speaker 2: rusher is even now, because it used to be back
- 1:34Speaker 2: in the day, when you talk about an edge rusher
- 1:37Speaker 2: in the NFL, it is a defensive end. And it was.
- 1:40Speaker 2: They had every team played a four to three. He
- 1:42Speaker 2: had a defensive end, a defensive tackle, defensive tackle, defensive end,
- 1:47Speaker 2: or nose guard, whatever you want to call the two
- 1:48Speaker 2: guys in the interior. But you had two defensive ends
- 1:50Speaker 2: and those guys were tasked tasked with pass rushing. That
- 1:54Speaker 2: was what their job was. And nowadays there's different formations,
- 1:58Speaker 2: there's a five to two, there's an und front, over front,
- 2:00Speaker 2: blah blah blah, all these different things, and that's why
- 2:02Speaker 2: that's why we do hardcore football. So we have a
- 2:04Speaker 2: few million on. But it was interesting with the Seahawks
- 2:07Speaker 2: last year. Their top two sack guys both were sub
- 2:09Speaker 2: ten sacks. Nobody had double digit sacks for Seattle. They
- 2:12Speaker 2: did it by committee. The best defense in the NFL, right,
- 2:14Speaker 2: did it by committee. And they did have guys obviously
- 2:18Speaker 2: that were on the edge, DUOSU de law guys like that,
- 2:23Speaker 2: Mafe Hall, et cetera. But they got some of their
- 2:27Speaker 2: best pass rushing came from the inside, Reed Murphy guys
- 2:31Speaker 2: like that. So you know, we'll we'll talk to Greg
- 2:34Speaker 2: about kind of what fits here in Seattle some of
- 2:36Speaker 2: the top guys. I think that's one of those positions
- 2:39Speaker 2: of not as it not only is it a position
- 2:40Speaker 2: of need, it's also a position that they're going to
- 2:43Speaker 2: go hard after and try to find some deaf boy
- 2:46Speaker 2: in Mafe leaving obviously, because you the whole thing about
- 2:49Speaker 2: you know, getting got you know, the best player available
- 2:51Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, like the best player
- 2:52Speaker 2: available whenever they pick and I'm assuming they're not going
- 2:54Speaker 2: to pick at thirty two if it's a tight end.
- 2:57Speaker 2: They're not taking a tight end, right, They're not. They
- 2:59Speaker 2: got Barner, they got a Royal. They're not going to
- 3:01Speaker 2: tight end. They're probably not going probably not going to
- 3:06Speaker 2: go down the quarterback Rod. They've got Milroe as a
- 3:08Speaker 2: development guy, and they got locked obviously along with with
- 3:12Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. So best player available, what do you need?
- 3:16Speaker 2: You need a corner to get some depth and maybe
- 3:18Speaker 2: some competition for Joe after a one left. Probably could
- 3:22Speaker 2: use a safety, Certainly could use some depth linebacker. Probably
- 3:26Speaker 2: don't need a wide receiver, running back, edge rusher top
- 3:29Speaker 2: of the list, So we'll talk to him about that.
- 3:31Speaker 2: There's a lot of guys out there. I'm going to
- 3:32Speaker 2: ask about ubib Bin Ruby Baine is not going to
- 3:34Speaker 2: come here to Seattle. He's gonna be long gone, but
- 3:35Speaker 2: I want to ask hibout Banks. I think he's one
- 3:36Speaker 2: of the most talked about guys in the draft. A
- 3:38Speaker 2: short arm guy. I think back to the days of
- 3:40Speaker 2: Melvin Ingram looked like a t Rex, a little short arms.
- 3:44Speaker 2: But you know, rubyen Bain's a guy that we taught.
- 3:46Speaker 2: But there's other guys, if Mark's listening, if he's driving home, MJ.
- 3:49Speaker 2: If you're listening, yes, I'm gonna ask about a keen
- 3:51Speaker 2: messador from Miami. I think he's a guy that he
- 3:54Speaker 2: projects to be late first maybe early mid second round.
- 3:57Speaker 2: That's a guy that would be there for Seattle. No, No,
- 4:01Speaker 2: not at all, Jess God, I'm gonna go through the list.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Miami football, Arkansas basketball, Knicks basketball, Okay, okay, yeah, that's
- 4:15Speaker 2: what we like.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I just needed to make sure I had it all right.
- 4:17Speaker 2: I don't know who his baseball team is, a mat Seasons?
- 4:22Speaker 2: Is he a met guy? Yeah? You guys share that
- 4:24Speaker 2: love for the Tooka.
- 4:26Speaker 3: I know.
- 4:27Speaker 2: All right.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Good.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Anyway, we'll get to the defensive line coming up in
- 4:30Speaker 2: just a couple of seconds. We'll talk about running backs
- 4:33Speaker 2: a little bit. With we're gonna all heavy draft today.
- 4:35Speaker 2: We'll hit some running back conversation with our guy Corbyn
- 4:38Speaker 2: Smith coming up at two o'clock today as well. And
- 4:43Speaker 2: Corbyn used to coach running backs, something he's very keen
- 4:46Speaker 2: on likes to talk about. So we'll do that with
- 4:48Speaker 2: Corbyn coming up at two pm today at we're gonna
- 4:54Speaker 2: jump down a road we don't really play a lot
- 4:56Speaker 2: of post game sound all the time on the radio station.
- 5:00Speaker 2: But Laine Lambert last night kind of was a guy
- 5:03Speaker 2: that we need to hear from him. He was none
- 5:06Speaker 2: too pleased after the Cracking game. Was Yeah, he was.
- 5:10Speaker 2: He was none too pleased with what was going on there.
- 5:12Speaker 2: And so we're gonna check in with him coming up
- 5:15Speaker 2: today at one forty five. Cracking or out of it.
- 5:19Speaker 2: They're not mathematically eliminated, but mathematically means they they could
- 5:25Speaker 2: technically catch somebody by a point, but every team ahead
- 5:31Speaker 2: of them would have to lose every game. I mean,
- 5:33Speaker 2: they're they're math. Their magic number is basically less than one.
- 5:36Speaker 2: It's like a half a game. It's a tiebreak. I
- 5:38Speaker 2: mean that's what it is. So they're done. They're not
- 5:40Speaker 2: going to the playoffs. Fourth time and four years or right,
- 5:43Speaker 2: fourth time in five years that they're not going. They
- 5:46Speaker 2: took a two one lead last night. Lane was pissed
- 5:48Speaker 2: after the game. And it's interesting because we're running into
- 5:51Speaker 2: the dynamic now where if we're being honest, it's better
- 5:56Speaker 2: for them to lose. Now, I'm saying that you're not
- 6:01Speaker 2: Captain Tanker anything, No, but I'm saying and I'm saying
- 6:04Speaker 2: that with some hesitation. I'm a cracking employee. I don't
- 6:07Speaker 2: That's not my job is to say you should lose,
- 6:09Speaker 2: And I don't think in the world of hockey, it's
- 6:11Speaker 2: not like the NBA. No one in hockey tries to lose.
- 6:14Speaker 2: That's like the Vancouver Canucks. I think they've already clinched
- 6:16Speaker 2: the worst record anyway, but they're not trying to lose.
- 6:20Speaker 2: No one tries to lose the NHL. So just between
- 6:22Speaker 2: the NHL and the NBA, people never tank. In the NHL,
- 6:24Speaker 2: guys play seemingly play hard, or at least give it
- 6:27Speaker 2: an effort. You don't. You also don't sit guys, you
- 6:31Speaker 2: know like, you don't sit, you know, like you're not
- 6:33Speaker 2: going to see Maddy Beaneer's and Bobby McMahon Vince done
- 6:38Speaker 2: Brandon on tour. You're not going to see your top
- 6:40Speaker 2: guys sit and sit out games and be healthy scratches
- 6:44Speaker 2: so you can get some more ping pong balls for
- 6:46Speaker 2: the lottery. That's just not how the NHL operates. But
- 6:48Speaker 2: the reality is we like to see them win. It's
- 6:51Speaker 2: fun when your team wins and they have three home
- 6:53Speaker 2: games left Thursday, Saturday, and Monday before two road games
- 6:57Speaker 2: to finish off next week, a week from today and
- 6:59Speaker 2: a week from tomorrow. The reality is it doesn't help
- 7:02Speaker 2: them to win, just doesn't helps them to lose. Like
- 7:07Speaker 2: losing at this point is okay. Never thought i'd say that,
- 7:10Speaker 2: because this team entered the Olympic break comfortably in a
- 7:12Speaker 2: playoff spot and it has fallen apart five wins since
- 7:16Speaker 2: the Olympic break. I think it's five fifteen and two.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Now I believe might be off by a loss, but
- 7:21Speaker 2: they've had five wins since the Olympic break.
- 7:23Speaker 3: It's just falling apart a rough time sense.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Then, yes, why, I don't know. Can't score, power play
- 7:31Speaker 2: is not good. Penalty kill is not good penalty. The
- 7:33Speaker 2: penalty kill or the power play carry these guys for
- 7:37Speaker 2: a good chunk of the year, not anymore.
- 7:40Speaker 5: So.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll hear from Lanne. I liked it because Mark
- 7:43Speaker 2: and I are just talking about this. I don't know
- 7:44Speaker 2: if you heard the JJ Redick sound from the Lakers.
- 7:47Speaker 2: He kind of snapped on on Ruy and DeAndre and company,
- 7:53Speaker 2: a couple of West Coast legends. But I liked it.
- 7:58Speaker 2: But it's a fine line between throwing your players under
- 8:00Speaker 2: the bus and also knowing you should be protect protecting
- 8:02Speaker 2: your players. Lane doesn't mention guys by name. I know
- 8:07Speaker 2: who he's talking about last night, and you know what,
- 8:09Speaker 2: I'm not going to mention the guys my name, but
- 8:10Speaker 2: I could tell you exactly who he's talking about and
- 8:12Speaker 2: you'll hear that. At one forty five. It was the
- 8:14Speaker 2: most harsh criticism of his team and his players that
- 8:18Speaker 2: Lane Lambert has had here. I do want to touch
- 8:22Speaker 2: it on a thing and I'll talk to Corbin. I
- 8:25Speaker 2: may hit on hockey a little bit too. Corbyn runs
- 8:27Speaker 2: amimeralds that he spectrum. He nick lely wrote the story
- 8:29Speaker 2: yesterday and I pointed out to Corbyn it was a
- 8:32Speaker 2: little erroneous because he was placing a lot of blame
- 8:35Speaker 2: on Ron Francis, and I said, well, Ron Francis had
- 8:38Speaker 2: the roster for the first four years. A year five,
- 8:40Speaker 2: the roster is Jason Bottrell. But I'll get his thoughts
- 8:43Speaker 2: on it coming up at two o'clock. But this roster
- 8:50Speaker 2: needs a lot of work in terms of funding guys
- 8:52Speaker 2: that can score goals. And I think I felt that
- 8:55Speaker 2: frustration from Lane, plus he was some frustration from him
- 8:58Speaker 2: in the regard. The guys just aren't doing when what
- 9:00Speaker 2: they're supposed to do. Defensively, it's all about structure. You know.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Imagine if you were watching a football team play and
- 9:08Speaker 2: it you know, the play called for a wide receiver
- 9:11Speaker 2: to run a five yard out and he ran a
- 9:13Speaker 2: goal route and maybe a post route instead, Like, dude,
- 9:16Speaker 2: what are you doing? You can't just freelance. You got
- 9:18Speaker 2: to play within the structure of what we're supposed to do.
- 9:20Speaker 2: And I think that's just frustration. So we'll play that
- 9:22Speaker 2: coming up as well. I do want to mention we've
- 9:24Speaker 2: got the golf challenges taking place. Where is my golf? Oh,
- 9:29Speaker 2: there is Tomorrow's Master's Day.
- 9:31Speaker 4: One.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Can't wait. God love Masters. I haven't. I haven't worned

- 9:38Speaker 2: gonna lose her mind really well, because it's been that

- 15:11Speaker 2: from the east side most Bee hal over in Kirkland
- 15:14Speaker 2: as well. All right, Greg, let's talk edge rushers today.
- 15:16Speaker 2: General thought, real quick edge rushers this year, and actually,
- 15:19Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw this at you because we have to
- 15:23Speaker 2: go through this. Every team looks at edge rushers differently.
- 15:26Speaker 2: You talk to coaches all the time, you know, we
- 15:28Speaker 2: used to kind of think of edge rushers as the
- 15:30Speaker 2: defensive end in a four to three alignment on a defense.
- 15:34Speaker 2: That's not the case anymore. Like the Seahawks call them
- 15:36Speaker 2: outside linebackers or rush edges or whatever they call them.
- 15:39Speaker 2: Every team has a different look. What is today's in
- 15:43Speaker 2: general terms NFL edge rusher? What does he look like?
- 15:47Speaker 7: Well, I think that's team in scheme specific and this
- 15:51Speaker 7: draft reflects that. Is that there are guys who are
- 15:54Speaker 7: true pass rushers off the edge. They have pass rush traits.
- 15:58Speaker 7: That's what they do. That's how they'll make their money
- 16:00Speaker 7: in the NFL if they're going to be good NFL
- 16:02Speaker 7: players because they can rush the quarterback. And then there
- 16:05Speaker 7: are other players who are edge players, but they're not
- 16:08Speaker 7: necessarily strong pass rushers. They're powerful, they're strong, they're strong
- 16:13Speaker 7: against the run, they play with violence, they play off
- 16:16Speaker 7: contact really well. Yes, they can get some sacks, but
- 16:19Speaker 7: they're not necessarily guys you would call great edge rushers.
- 16:23Speaker 7: And then there's other guys who are multi positional, and
- 16:26Speaker 7: we'll get to one of those as well in this draft,
- 16:29Speaker 7: one who can certainly line up on the edge, but
- 16:31Speaker 7: could well end up playing inside more depending upon team
- 16:34Speaker 7: and scheme. So there's different categories the end of edge rusher,
- 16:38Speaker 7: you know, and I think Seattle is a good example
- 16:42Speaker 7: of that, with someone like Derek Hall. You know, Derek Hall.
- 16:45Speaker 7: And again, I'm not gonna sit here and say, because
- 16:47Speaker 7: obviously I watched every snap, but that was a while ago,
- 16:49Speaker 7: and so I can't remember every single.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Thing, believe it or not.
- 16:52Speaker 7: But I mean, I'm not going to sit here and
- 16:53Speaker 7: say Derek Hall never played one snap inside. But you're
- 16:57Speaker 7: not drafting Derek Hall to play inside, you know, as
- 17:00Speaker 7: a pass rusher you're playing. You're drafting him to play
- 17:03Speaker 7: outside as an edge rusher, and he obviously did very
- 17:06Speaker 7: well down the stretch.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Greg, I'll just I've got a list of guys in
- 17:09Speaker 2: front of me, but you tease me, who's the guy
- 17:11Speaker 2: you just referenced inside outside guy.
- 17:14Speaker 7: Keldrick Fawk from Auburn. Keldric Fawk is a mountain of
- 17:18Speaker 7: a young man, I mean, these guys are young. I mean,
- 17:20Speaker 7: I think he's twenty years old, and we forget that sometimes.
- 17:23Speaker 7: I mean, it's like watching the NCAA basketball tournament. You
- 17:25Speaker 7: see these eighteen year old freshman. I mean, I'm just
- 17:28Speaker 7: blown away by the talent that they have. But anyway, Fock,
- 17:31Speaker 7: I think is twenty. He's six six to seventy six ian.
- 17:34Speaker 7: His arm length is thirty four and three eighths. He's
- 17:37Speaker 7: got a wing span that's over eighty two. He's powerful,
- 17:40Speaker 7: he's strong in Auburn's defense, and I've watched him for
- 17:43Speaker 7: two years. He played anywhere from zero technique, which means
- 17:46Speaker 7: he lines up head up on the offensive center, to
- 17:49Speaker 7: wide nine, which means he lines up outside in offensive tackle.
- 17:52Speaker 7: So but he's not a pure pass rusher. He's a
- 17:55Speaker 7: power player. So sure he has some speed to power
- 17:58Speaker 7: element to his rush, but he's not a sudden, twitchy
- 18:01Speaker 7: guy that's going to beat you off the edge with
- 18:04Speaker 7: his quickness. So you know, he's an example of a
- 18:07Speaker 7: guy that if you draft him, you probably have you well,
- 18:10Speaker 7: you don't have to understand, you will understand if you
- 18:12Speaker 7: draft him, you will definitely know what he is. And
- 18:15Speaker 7: they could play probably anywhere along your defensive front, you know,
- 18:21Speaker 7: depending on on how you want to line. I'll give
- 18:23Speaker 7: you an example. He's a much better prospect than Mike Morris. Okay,
- 18:27Speaker 7: Morris is the big kid out of Michigan who lined
- 18:29Speaker 7: up at defensive end in Michigan. But it's played a
- 18:33Speaker 7: lot of snaps inside for Seattle because he's he's so big,
- 18:37Speaker 7: and he's got some physical power to him, you know,
- 18:39Speaker 7: but he's not an age rusher, so you know, you
- 18:41Speaker 7: try to find ways to use them.
- 18:43Speaker 2: His fault more explosive though than Morris, because I mean
- 18:46Speaker 2: Morris doesn't have much of a burst.
- 18:47Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a way better prospect. Yes, I mean, Maris
- 18:50Speaker 7: was a really nice college player. And if I'm not mistaken,
- 18:53Speaker 7: wasn't he like a fourth or fifth round pick?
- 18:54Speaker 2: And he was not a high high pick.
- 18:56Speaker 7: I was just trying to use that as a comparison
- 18:58Speaker 7: because they're both tall, they're both long, neither one is
- 19:02Speaker 7: a pure edge rusher.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just I'm looking at the numbers, it
- 19:05Speaker 2: kind of felt body type looked a lot similar to
- 19:08Speaker 2: to what Morris. And Morris is a serviceable guy for Seattle,
- 19:10Speaker 2: a depth guy and and all that Folka, young guys.
- 19:13Speaker 2: You know, small town Alabama guy went to Auburn, hasn't
- 19:15Speaker 2: left the state, young kid, We'll see what he's got
- 19:17Speaker 2: about him. I'm gonna jump around a.
- 19:19Speaker 7: Little bit when I watch Fox, just to give you
- 19:21Speaker 7: an example. And I know we want to move on
- 19:23Speaker 7: and get to a bunch of guys. When I walked Falk,
- 19:25Speaker 7: I thought of Bill Belichick and how he deploys a
- 19:27Speaker 7: lot of defensive linemen. And obviously he's not coaching in
- 19:29Speaker 7: the NFL, and certainly, folks, not Richard Seymour. But if
- 19:33Speaker 7: you remember the way Richard Seymour would line up at
- 19:35Speaker 7: d n detail, he didn't he line up anywhere along
- 19:37Speaker 7: the defensive line, and Fox not Richard Seymour. I don't
- 19:40Speaker 7: want people to think I'm making an apples to Apple's comparison,
- 19:43Speaker 7: but I thought of that's that's the kind of way
- 19:46Speaker 7: in which we'll be deployed.
- 19:47Speaker 2: If you draft that makes sense, I'm gonna skip by Listen,
- 19:49Speaker 2: r Vel Reeves, David Bailey, both guys ranked really Hi,
- 19:51Speaker 2: I'm gonna skip by those because Seattle's not going to
- 19:53Speaker 2: get those guys or not, that's.
- 19:54Speaker 7: Not something they're not going to be trading up to
- 19:56Speaker 7: the top five.
- 19:57Speaker 2: No, no, no, I am, and then other guy's gonna
- 20:00Speaker 2: probably very early. But I'm just curious to get your
- 20:02Speaker 2: thoughts on him, because we all know him and remember
- 20:03Speaker 2: from the from the title or the run in the playoffs.
- 20:06Speaker 2: I would love to get your thoughts on what you've
- 20:08Speaker 2: seen from Ruben Bain Junior. I've heard a lot about
- 20:11Speaker 2: him after the combine, the short arms, all that kind
- 20:14Speaker 2: of stuff. What do you see from Ruben bin He's
- 20:15Speaker 2: not going to be a seahawk? But what do you
- 20:17Speaker 2: see from Ruben Bain?
- 20:18Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I don't have and I'm being honest,
- 20:20Speaker 7: I don't have an answer about the arm length. And
- 20:22Speaker 7: I'll tell you why. I'm going to give you a
- 20:23Speaker 7: very quick analogy, which two people way smarter than I am,
- 20:27Speaker 7: and why I don't have an answer. It involves Will Campbell,
- 20:30Speaker 7: the offensive tackle for the Patriots.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I heard Joe.
- 20:32Speaker 7: Thomas, who obviously knows more about offensive tackle play than
- 20:35Speaker 7: I do, saying that his problems down the stretch had
- 20:38Speaker 7: nothing to do with arm length. Then I spoke to
- 20:40Speaker 7: a good friend of mine who's been an offensive line
- 20:42Speaker 7: coach in the league for thirty plus years, who said absolutely.
- 20:45Speaker 7: It had everything to do with the short arms. So
- 20:47Speaker 7: when you hear two people who are really smart say
- 20:50Speaker 7: that I can't tell you what his arm length means,
- 20:53Speaker 7: I can tell you what he looks like on film.
- 20:55Speaker 7: And he's a sought off, hyper competitive, hyper physical power player.
- 21:01Speaker 7: He's a fun guy to watch because he plays so hard.
- 21:04Speaker 7: He knows how to use his hands and whatever arm
- 21:07Speaker 7: length do you want to give him, you know, and
- 21:08Speaker 7: he's very good at playing off contact, and there's just
- 21:11Speaker 7: a sheer physicality and toughness and competitiveness to his game.
- 21:15Speaker 7: But he's more than likely just a defensive end.
- 21:20Speaker 4: Now.
- 21:20Speaker 7: Having said that, I thought there were some similarities to
- 21:23Speaker 7: Brandon Graham when he came out of Michigan and Graham
- 21:25Speaker 7: later in his career started playing inside for Philly, but
- 21:29Speaker 7: he didn't do that early in his career. So, you know,
- 21:32Speaker 7: Bain is not an outside backer. You know, he's not
- 21:34Speaker 7: a stand up guy. He's going to drop into coverage.
- 21:36Speaker 7: You know, that's not who he is. You're not drafting
- 21:39Speaker 7: him to do that. But he's a really good football player.
- 21:42Speaker 7: And there's people who believe that the arm length won't
- 21:45Speaker 7: matter because of the way in which he plays, and
- 21:47Speaker 7: I guarantee in draft meetings there'll be others who say,
- 21:49Speaker 7: uh uh, history shows that no one with that arm
- 21:52Speaker 7: length makes it as a defensive end, which, by the way,
- 21:54Speaker 7: history shows, so you're going to have competing thoughts and
- 21:58Speaker 7: competing process He's right there. Like I said, I love
- 22:03Speaker 7: watching him play. I don't have an answer to it.
- 22:05Speaker 7: I'm just being honest.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Greg Cozelle joining his courtesy of the Hall Group. Don't
- 22:08Speaker 2: forget swinging on by the Occidental Hall before or after
- 22:11Speaker 2: baseball games this season five dollars smash burgers post game.
- 22:14Speaker 2: All right, let's get to let's stay with Miami and
- 22:17Speaker 2: talk about his teammate because he might be around if
- 22:19Speaker 2: Seattle's drafting into the first round or maybe even the
- 22:21Speaker 2: second round. Who knows. That's a key messador.
- 22:25Speaker 7: Yeah, and he's he's an older player. You know, which
- 22:27Speaker 7: teams will have different views on that. I think will
- 22:29Speaker 7: be twenty five. He's a much juicier, more explosive off
- 22:32Speaker 7: the ball athlete than ruben Bain. He's got sudden quickness
- 22:35Speaker 7: off the ball. He can generate velocity at the top
- 22:38Speaker 7: of his past rush arc. I mean he's violent as well.
- 22:41Speaker 7: I mean he's the there's physicality, there's strong hands, he's
- 22:44Speaker 7: got short stroke power. He showed some speed to power.
- 22:48Speaker 7: He's built differently. Even though he's not significantly taller, he
- 22:51Speaker 7: looks longer on film. You know, he's got really good
- 22:56Speaker 7: body control and balance. He's a really interesting guy. You know, look,
- 23:01Speaker 7: who knows how this draft's going to play out, because
- 23:03Speaker 7: with the lack of quarterbacks in it, you just don't
- 23:05Speaker 7: know how. You know, players will start to come off
- 23:08Speaker 7: the board and sometimes that changes how teams do things.
- 23:11Speaker 7: But Messador is a very interesting guys. He's more of
- 23:14Speaker 7: a true edge player when you think of a guy
- 23:16Speaker 7: that has true pass rush traits.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Last week we talked with our buddy Rob rang about
- 23:22Speaker 2: Zion Young and it sounds like Young from Missouri is
- 23:25Speaker 2: a guy that is I'm gonna use the word kind
- 23:27Speaker 2: of polarizing in the sense of you just said it
- 23:30Speaker 2: a moment ago. Every team looks and listen, every team
- 23:33Speaker 2: looks at every player differently, right, whether it's age, arm, length,
- 23:36Speaker 2: all these things. Zion Young kind of feels like one
- 23:38Speaker 2: of those guys is can be much debated during the
- 23:40Speaker 2: draft from Missouri. What do you see from him on tape?
- 23:43Speaker 7: Yeah, because I think he falls more into that category
- 23:46Speaker 7: I mentioned when you asked me initially about you know,
- 23:48Speaker 7: edged players. I think he's more of a prototypical four
- 23:51Speaker 7: to three d N a foundational four man D line front.
- 23:55Speaker 7: His staple strengths are power and physicality and working his hands.
- 23:59Speaker 7: He's not a twin chief sudden guy. Doesn't mean he
- 24:02Speaker 7: can never sack the quarterback, but he doesn't have that
- 24:04Speaker 7: higher level bend in flexibility, so he wins kind of
- 24:07Speaker 7: as a pass rusher with methodical power and hand placement.
- 24:11Speaker 7: But he's six six two sixty two. You know, he's
- 24:14Speaker 7: a big man. He looks big on tape. He's very
- 24:17Speaker 7: good at block reconstruction.
- 24:18Speaker 4: In the run game.
- 24:19Speaker 7: He can set the edge. But you know, to me,
- 24:22Speaker 7: you don't draft him and say he's now my edge rusher.
- 24:26Speaker 7: This is the guy we're going to count on that
- 24:28Speaker 7: other teams are going to account for when they play us.
- 24:31Speaker 7: He's not that guy. But he's a good football player.
- 24:33Speaker 7: He's just you know, I'm a big believer Ian and
- 24:35Speaker 7: you'll appreciate this. To me, you've got to understand what
- 24:38Speaker 7: a guy is. It's like in baseball, okay, with free agency,
- 24:42Speaker 7: when a guy is on in a lineup and batting
- 24:44Speaker 7: seventy hits thirty home runs, and then some team signs
- 24:47Speaker 7: him to big money and once to bat him third,
- 24:49Speaker 7: thinking he's going to do exactly the same thing. You know,
- 24:52Speaker 7: it doesn't always work like that, you know it you
- 24:56Speaker 7: sort of to me, you have to have a sense
- 24:57Speaker 7: of what a guy is.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Well. Then with young that's interesting about him is again
- 25:02Speaker 2: probably what scheme specific in a sense as well, and
- 25:06Speaker 2: as we're talking for yeah, as we're talking about edge
- 25:10Speaker 2: rushers and you know, which is as Greg articulated and
- 25:13Speaker 2: kind of defined at the start of the segment, it's
- 25:16Speaker 2: it's wide ranging and what what looks like. See, I
- 25:18Speaker 2: don't have the best defense statistically in the NFL last year, Greg,
- 25:20Speaker 2: as you well know, their top sack guys were in
- 25:24Speaker 2: the two guys in the interior both with seven sacks. Ye, like,
- 25:28Speaker 2: this is not a team Mike McDonald, I don't know
- 25:30Speaker 2: if he's looking for like that that speed edge rusher
- 25:33Speaker 2: that we've come to know and talk about over the years.
- 25:36Speaker 7: It may not be the priority. I mean, I'm sure
- 25:38Speaker 7: if there was one that he you know, was there,
- 25:40Speaker 7: Like you know, depending on what they choose to do
- 25:43Speaker 7: with their draft picks. You have someone like Malachi Lawrence
- 25:45Speaker 7: from UCF. I have no idea how how John Schneider
- 25:49Speaker 7: or Mike McDonald feels about Malachi Lawrence. But he's not
- 25:52Speaker 7: likely to be a first round pick. And if you
- 25:54Speaker 7: really like him, you know he's that he's that kind
- 25:58Speaker 7: of guy. He's got some length to him. He's a
- 25:59Speaker 7: good run usher, plays the run pretty well. He's like
- 26:02Speaker 7: a he's a solid edge rushing prospect. But you know,
- 26:05Speaker 7: as Ion Young, just to give you an example, because
- 26:07Speaker 7: you know we're both a little older, and we go
- 26:09Speaker 7: back to football from a few years ago, back in
- 26:11Speaker 7: the day when we used to look at a four
- 26:13Speaker 7: to three d N and say he's a strong side
- 26:15Speaker 7: d N. He plays, you know, over the tight end.
- 26:17Speaker 4: Man.
- 26:17Speaker 7: We used to say that about guys that to me
- 26:20Speaker 7: is ion You Okay, who's Ion Young is?
- 26:22Speaker 4: To me? Well?
- 26:22Speaker 2: And that's and I when I bring up just kind
- 26:24Speaker 2: of how they look at it, like it feels like
- 26:26Speaker 2: they they do everything kind of by committee up front
- 26:29Speaker 2: a little bit too. And Zion Young might fit that.
- 26:31Speaker 2: But let's talk about Matt. Let's go back to Malachi
- 26:33Speaker 2: Lawrence from UCF and what you see from him.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Yeah, he was.
- 26:36Speaker 7: I didn't know much about him at all. In fact,
- 26:38Speaker 7: a very good friend of mine at the combine told
- 26:40Speaker 7: me about him. Obviously, UCF's not necessarily on you know,
- 26:43Speaker 7: TV all the time I did, so I didn't see
- 26:45Speaker 7: much of him at all, didn't know a lot about him.
- 26:48Speaker 7: I liked him. I thought he showed some knock back
- 26:50Speaker 7: power in his hands, in his arms, which is very
- 26:52Speaker 7: good in the run game. I thought he could stop
- 26:54Speaker 7: and redirect. He's a plus athlete. He's over sixty four,
- 26:58Speaker 7: he's over two fifty, he's got good arms, you know.
- 27:01Speaker 7: I think that he's He showed some tools in his
- 27:04Speaker 7: toolbox where he has to work on some things, and
- 27:07Speaker 7: they all do, by the way, so it's never a
- 27:09Speaker 7: knock on a player, on a prospect, their prospects, to
- 27:13Speaker 7: say they have things to work on. He's got to
- 27:15Speaker 7: work on playing off contact, reworking his hands, which is
- 27:19Speaker 7: very common, by the way, for college pass rushers, because
- 27:22Speaker 7: they don't do that a lot in college. He reminded
- 27:25Speaker 7: me a little bit of and I'm sure we talked
- 27:27Speaker 7: about this guy last year. He was a rookie this
- 27:29Speaker 7: year in Carolina named Nick s Gourton, who actually played
- 27:32Speaker 7: a lot in Carolina and played well toward the end
- 27:35Speaker 7: of the season. He reminded me of Nick Gourton quite
- 27:38Speaker 7: a bit. But I like Malachi Lawrence.
- 27:40Speaker 2: How about Cassius Howell from Texas A and M.
- 27:43Speaker 7: Now there's another guy that has an arm length major concern,
- 27:47Speaker 7: but he is super juicy. I mean, this guy is
- 27:50Speaker 7: He may be, along with David Bally, the two most
- 27:55Speaker 7: explosive edge players in this draft in terms of just
- 27:59Speaker 7: exploding off the edge. I mean, this guy is, that's
- 28:02Speaker 7: just who he is. I mean, he is super quick,
- 28:06Speaker 7: He's got explosive get off, he's got first step twitch.
- 28:10Speaker 7: I mean, this guy challenges the high side of offensive tackles,
- 28:13Speaker 7: meaning the outside shoulder, as quickly as you can can
- 28:17Speaker 7: do it. And he's he can do some things off
- 28:20Speaker 7: of that. He's got that one arm stead. He plays
- 28:23Speaker 7: as if his arms are longer. That's the odd thing
- 28:27Speaker 7: he plays because there's times when he uses his arms
- 28:29Speaker 7: really really well. Now you could also say he's always
- 28:32Speaker 7: had short arms, So you know, that's the thing. You know,
- 28:35Speaker 7: guys know what they are, right, and you know know
- 28:38Speaker 7: what they are. When you play sports long enough, you
- 28:40Speaker 7: know what you can do and what you can't do.
- 28:42Speaker 7: But this guy is I think he can play in
- 28:44Speaker 7: a five to two bass as an outside backer. His
- 28:47Speaker 7: coverage ability is very, very good. But this guy is
- 28:52Speaker 7: he's explosive and he's terrific as a looper in stunts
- 28:55Speaker 7: because he's got that short area of burst. He's got flexibility,
- 29:00Speaker 7: and man does he have closing speed.
- 29:01Speaker 2: We got a couple more guys we're getting time to
- 29:03Speaker 2: hit on as well. How about ar Mason Thomas out
- 29:05Speaker 2: of Oklahoma.
- 29:07Speaker 7: Yeah, he's he falls a little more into the catcher's
- 29:10Speaker 7: hell category, although he doesn't weigh as much and that
- 29:13Speaker 7: shows up. But he's another guy that has some juice
- 29:15Speaker 7: to him. I don't think it's at the same level
- 29:17Speaker 7: of Howl And he weighs a good ten twelve pounds less,
- 29:20Speaker 7: and sometimes that shows up on film when you know,
- 29:23Speaker 7: because don't forget you weigh two forty As an edge rusher,
- 29:26Speaker 7: you're giving up, you know, seventy pounds to pretty much
- 29:29Speaker 7: every offensive tackle you're going against.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Right now.
- 29:31Speaker 7: They know that, of course, so you know there's you know,
- 29:36Speaker 7: there's reasons these guys know that, and they know how
- 29:38Speaker 7: to deal with it. I like our Mason Thomas, but
- 29:40Speaker 7: I don't think he's at the level of prospect as
- 29:43Speaker 7: let's say a cash Is Howell, even though he'd fit
- 29:45Speaker 7: into the same box.
- 29:46Speaker 2: Is it game jackis from Illinois? Is it jackis? Yeah? Yeah.
- 29:50Speaker 7: I think he's more like Zion Young personally. I know
- 29:53Speaker 7: there's a lot of different shatter about him, you know,
- 29:57Speaker 7: and some people really really like him because he's just
- 29:59Speaker 7: you know, he's one of those guys you come away
- 30:01Speaker 7: and he's a good football player. But I think he's
- 30:04Speaker 7: his game's built on power and physicality more than higher
- 30:07Speaker 7: level athleticism. He's nowhere near as long as I am young,
- 30:10Speaker 7: which you know that's a concern. But he's not an
- 30:13Speaker 7: explosive guy. He's kind of more measured and methodical. He's
- 30:16Speaker 7: got you know, what I call a rugger, rugged and
- 30:18Speaker 7: forceful demeanor. He you know, he plays the way you
- 30:20Speaker 7: want a guy to play, and as a pass rusher,
- 30:24Speaker 7: his foundation would be speed to power, but he really
- 30:26Speaker 7: doesn't have a deep arsenal of moves and counter moves,
- 30:29Speaker 7: so you can teach that. But I see him a
- 30:32Speaker 7: little more as kind of that strong defensive end type.
- 30:34Speaker 7: Although he did play a lot of five too in Illinois.
- 30:38Speaker 7: So it's very possible that teams that whose base is
- 30:41Speaker 7: a five to two will see him as a five
- 30:43Speaker 7: to two outside backer.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Is that basically the Seattle is I always never the
- 30:47Speaker 2: Seattle five to two? No, okay, okay, it feels like
- 30:52Speaker 2: they have. I mean, they got the two linebackers.
- 30:54Speaker 4: You know, they do.
- 30:55Speaker 7: Look, they do a lot of things obviously, you know, Yeah, yeah,
- 30:58Speaker 7: all right, they do a lot of things.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Derek Moore out of Michigan. We saw a lot of
- 31:02Speaker 2: Michigan football the last few years. Hell, we sill saw
- 31:04Speaker 2: a lot of Michigan basketball, if I'm not mistaken, Greg,
- 31:06Speaker 2: the last few days. Michigan. We live in Michigan's world.
- 31:10Speaker 2: We're in Michigan's world. We're just living in it right now,
- 31:12Speaker 2: I think is what it is. But I do remember
- 31:14Speaker 2: what this is a guy I think with every college
- 31:16Speaker 2: football fan, every football fan knows the name Derek Moore
- 31:18Speaker 2: out of Michigan. He's he's ranked a little lower by most.
- 31:21Speaker 2: I think he probably is a second or third round
- 31:23Speaker 2: pick maybe, so definitely a Day two guy. But what
- 31:25Speaker 2: do you see from Derek Moore? Yeah?
- 31:27Speaker 7: I liked him and I saw him last summer too.
- 31:30Speaker 7: He's a strong edge defender. His game is primarily strength
- 31:33Speaker 7: in power.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Now.
- 31:34Speaker 7: He knows how to use his hands well, and he's
- 31:36Speaker 7: got long arms. I mean he's six four, two fifty five.
- 31:39Speaker 7: His arm length is over thirty three inches. He knows
- 31:42Speaker 7: how to use it in both the run game and
- 31:44Speaker 7: as a pass rusher. He really knows how to place
- 31:47Speaker 7: his hands, you know, without going into the weeds on
- 31:49Speaker 7: that they teach you when you use your first hand
- 31:53Speaker 7: strike as a pass rusher, where to put it on
- 31:56Speaker 7: the offensive tackle. And he knows exactly where to do that,
- 31:59Speaker 7: and he can drive guys back into the pocket. You know,
- 32:03Speaker 7: I think he's a four to three guy, but I
- 32:05Speaker 7: think he could be another five to two guy. Uh
- 32:08Speaker 7: if you know, if you see him that way. But
- 32:10Speaker 7: I liked his tape. I mean I think I think
- 32:12Speaker 7: he's You're right, he's just a good player. He won't
- 32:15Speaker 7: go in round one, but he could be one of
- 32:17Speaker 7: those guys that ends up, you know, in two years,
- 32:18Speaker 7: three years, we're talking about Derek Moore being a starter somewhere.
- 32:22Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this because we just got a couple
- 32:24Speaker 2: of minutes left. Analyst choice, who do I need to
- 32:28Speaker 2: who does Seahawk fans need to know? Is it, Uh, well,
- 32:31Speaker 2: I'm just trying. I'm going through here.
- 32:32Speaker 7: Is it Crawford a little further down the road?
- 32:34Speaker 2: Yeah, Crawford from Auburn? Is it Hype from Texas tag?
- 32:38Speaker 7: He He fascinates me because he has not played which guy?
- 32:41Speaker 2: Which one's that?
- 32:44Speaker 7: And he's a guy that, to me will be an
- 32:46Speaker 7: as sending player because he now, you know, obviously he
- 32:49Speaker 7: played you know, off in opposite folk sometimes they end
- 32:52Speaker 7: up on the same side. But this kid, you're talking
- 32:54Speaker 7: about a kid, Now that's juicy. I mean, this kid's
- 32:56Speaker 7: an athlete.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Which kid is that? We just I gave you two names.
- 32:59Speaker 2: I'm sorry, which which kid is that? Ken Key run
- 33:03Speaker 2: Croft from Auburn? Okay?
- 33:04Speaker 4: Perfect?
- 33:04Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, he's a.
- 33:06Speaker 7: Sudden, twitchy athlete. He's got explosive get off. He can
- 33:09Speaker 7: instantly challenge the high side. I mean I think he
- 33:11Speaker 7: needs you know, he needs work because he didn't play
- 33:14Speaker 7: football until his senior season in high school and then
- 33:16Speaker 7: started his career at Arkansas State. So I mean he's,
- 33:20Speaker 7: you know, obviously hasn't played as much football as most
- 33:22Speaker 7: guys when they get to this level. But I think
- 33:24Speaker 7: there's a lot there to develop. And again, I don't
- 33:28Speaker 7: get to know these players, so I can't tell you
- 33:31Speaker 7: how much he picks up or doesn't pick up. But
- 33:33Speaker 7: you know, if all signs in that regard are really strong,
- 33:37Speaker 7: it would not surprise me if this guy in two years,
- 33:41Speaker 7: three years, we are really talking about him, because he
- 33:43Speaker 7: is a juicy guy.
- 33:44Speaker 5: I like.
- 33:44Speaker 2: I like the term juicy, by the way, that sounds good.
- 33:47Speaker 5: I like that.
- 33:47Speaker 2: I'm getting thirsty actually thinking about that right now.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Uh.
- 33:50Speaker 2: You know, we got another we got another. We got
- 33:53Speaker 2: another sponsor called No White Brewing. They have a big
- 33:55Speaker 2: and juicy beer. I'm thinking about that right now. What
- 33:57Speaker 2: about Dennis Sutton from Penn State? Do you like him?
- 34:00Speaker 7: I think he's more like Zion Young.
- 34:02Speaker 1: You know.
- 34:02Speaker 7: I think he's a good, really good player.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Okay.
- 34:05Speaker 7: I think he's gotten a little better as a pass
- 34:07Speaker 7: rusher as he's progressed at Penn State, and he played
- 34:10Speaker 7: that extra year he could have come out last year.
- 34:12Speaker 7: But I think, but all said and done, he's not
- 34:14Speaker 7: a true pass rusher. So I think he's another one
- 34:18Speaker 7: of those sort of solid defensive ends, like if you
- 34:22Speaker 7: had a big time stud on the other side, and
- 34:24Speaker 7: you know who could rush the quarterback and he played
- 34:26Speaker 7: on the other side. You know, he'll defend the run,
- 34:28Speaker 7: he'll set the edge, he'll do all those things that
- 34:30Speaker 7: are obviously critical, but no one gets excited about your
- 34:33Speaker 7: fans I'm talking about. But you know he's a good
- 34:36Speaker 7: football player.
- 34:37Speaker 2: So here's what we're going to do. We've got all
- 34:39Speaker 2: these names. Now what we do is we save them
- 34:41Speaker 2: and then when the Seahawks drafts somebody else. Of course,
- 34:43Speaker 2: we always have Greg co sel on for one more
- 34:45Speaker 2: visit before we turn them loose for the spring in
- 34:47Speaker 2: the summer after the draft, So if we miss somebody,
- 34:50Speaker 2: guaranteed Greg will have seen the tape and we'll revisit
- 34:53Speaker 2: that after the draft. As far as the edge rushers
- 34:55Speaker 2: are concerned. But I think we got a good, pretty
- 34:57Speaker 2: good feel for stuff today, my friend, thank you.
- 35:00Speaker 7: I think it's important for people to realize, well we
- 35:02Speaker 7: talked about at the beginning that not everybody just because
- 35:04Speaker 7: they're a d N and plays on the edge, it
- 35:06Speaker 7: means that they're a great pass rusher.
- 35:08Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. And again we pointed out with
- 35:11Speaker 2: Seattle last year what they did with Mike McDonald's defense,
- 35:14Speaker 2: they did not have by at least by statistical sack numbers.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Now there's win rates, right Greg, and there's all those
- 35:20Speaker 2: other things that you can look at the underlying numbers,
- 35:23Speaker 2: but by statistics wise, their two best sack guys came
- 35:26Speaker 2: from the interior. They were not edge guys. Boy and
- 35:29Speaker 2: Mafy just signed a nice contract. He only had two
- 35:30Speaker 2: sacks last season. So Seattle maybe does a little bit differently.
- 35:33Speaker 2: But that's why we have you, and that's why we
- 35:35Speaker 2: will check back in with you next week. Let's talk
- 35:37Speaker 2: let's talk about the cornerbacks next week? Shall we will
- 35:40Speaker 2: talk about who's going to replace Tarik Wollan here? It's
- 35:42Speaker 2: that sound good?
- 35:45Speaker 7: Sure, a lot of corners, a lot of corners get.
- 35:47Speaker 2: Drafted well, and I know you've watched one or two
- 35:49Speaker 2: of those. So hopefully by next week you've watched more
- 35:51Speaker 2: than just the two you've watched so far. And I
- 35:53Speaker 2: joked because Greg's probably watched there's a better chance he's
- 35:56Speaker 2: watched one hundred and two than two, right now, all tap,
- 35:59Speaker 2: all take there's a chance one hundred two guys. You've
- 36:01Speaker 2: looked at tape at those guys so far, So Greg
- 36:04Speaker 2: will talk to you next week, my friend, thank you.
- 36:06Speaker 7: All right, thanks the appreciate it.
- 36:08Speaker 2: The great Greg CoA sall. We'll take a break. We'll
- 36:10Speaker 2: hear from Laine Lambert not happy last night, cracking head coach.

- 37:43Speaker 2: it afterwards, so I'll just we'll wait till until tomorrow.
- 37:48Speaker 2: We'll tell you this the crack and are back in
- 37:50Speaker 2: action tomorrow at home. One of their three final home
- 37:53Speaker 2: games of the season. Tomorrow they take on Vegas Saturday,
- 37:58Speaker 2: early afternoon, early but it's like four o'clock game on
- 38:01Speaker 2: Saturday against Calgary Calgary, and then Monday they wrap things
- 38:04Speaker 2: up at their home schedule, so three more home games.
- 38:07Speaker 2: They are not going to the postseason. So for four
- 38:09Speaker 2: out of the first five years the franchise no playoffs.
- 38:13Speaker 2: Last time was year two of the franchise. Big things
- 38:17Speaker 2: going on in the offseason. They've got a lot of
- 38:19Speaker 2: work that needs to get done in this offseason. I
- 38:25Speaker 2: don't think one of the things that they're gonna have
- 38:27Speaker 2: to worry about is a coaching search, as they have
- 38:30Speaker 2: the last two years. Although last year's coaching search was
- 38:35Speaker 2: a real one. The year before was they just bumped
- 38:38Speaker 2: up by Alsma and proved to be a bad call
- 38:40Speaker 2: in that regard. Lane Lambert's fine. Disappointing, just a really
- 38:47Speaker 2: disappointing end of the season. And I don't I'm gonna
- 38:51Speaker 2: be very honest, what's happened to the last week or so?
- 38:55Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Season was lost about two and a
- 38:58Speaker 2: half three weeks ago. Lose two games in Nashville. Yeah,
- 39:06Speaker 2: that was it.
- 39:07Speaker 5: That was it.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Saint Louis loss at home.
- 39:09Speaker 5: That was it.
- 39:11Speaker 2: What's happened in the last four or five games has
- 39:14Speaker 2: been kind of irrelevant. So it's a bomber man. I
- 39:16Speaker 2: think I know how much this organization wants to win,
- 39:20Speaker 2: and we're gonna find out, probably in the offseason how
- 39:22Speaker 2: much they want to win, because I think it's going
- 39:23Speaker 2: to be aggressive in so many different ways. All right,
- 39:26Speaker 2: all right, that's I Daily Power played by Toby Yskoehn.

- 44:25Speaker 2: I'm all right, I'm all right. Listen, I want We're
- 44:27Speaker 2: gonna get to a lot of football here in a second.
- 44:29Speaker 2: First of all, subscribe to Emerald City Spectrum. Please go
- 44:32Speaker 2: check it out. Corman fifteen days away from the NFL Draft.
- 44:36Speaker 2: But before I get there, if I go to Emerald
- 44:38Speaker 2: City Spectrum, well I find some columns and some stories
- 44:43Speaker 2: talking about our struggling hockey team or our struggling baseball team.
- 44:46Speaker 4: Sir, oh, you're gonna find plenty of that on both ends.
- 44:52Speaker 9: Our Mariners coverage, I think that Cal Blueshell, our reporter
- 44:57Speaker 9: that covers a team. I think he's actually reached the point.
- 45:00Speaker 9: He's having a hard time coming up with different ways
- 45:02Speaker 9: to say that the Mariners can't hit. But that's besides
- 45:06Speaker 9: the point. Yeah, you could find great content for both
- 45:10Speaker 9: the Kraken and the Mariners.
- 45:11Speaker 4: If you're somebody that's.
- 45:12Speaker 9: Suffering through the krakens incredibly long losing streak, we have
- 45:16Speaker 9: some good articles on there that should at least make
- 45:19Speaker 9: you feel a little bit better about how.
- 45:22Speaker 4: Bad things really are.
- 45:23Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you. I'm gonna ask you something real
- 45:25Speaker 2: quick because you and I were talking on text yesterday
- 45:28Speaker 2: and Mariners. I'm gonna ask you two questions. One, because
- 45:32Speaker 2: you're a sports journalist, you run the site some of
- 45:33Speaker 2: that before we get to the Seahawks. One Mariners, is
- 45:37Speaker 2: Dan Wilson an issue?
- 45:40Speaker 4: I don't.
- 45:41Speaker 9: I think it's way too early to be making any
- 45:44Speaker 9: you know, runs that like him being on the hot
- 45:47Speaker 9: seat or anything like that. But you know, if they
- 45:50Speaker 9: get out of April and their six or seven games
- 45:52Speaker 9: that are five hundred, I think that heat is gonna
- 45:54Speaker 9: get turned up a lot. I don't know that this
- 45:57Speaker 9: is all on him necessarily, but it reflects when your
- 46:01Speaker 9: entire team is hitting the way they are.
- 46:03Speaker 4: It reflects on your entire coaching staff.
- 46:05Speaker 2: So Nick wrote on the Kraken and I'll let you
- 46:10Speaker 2: just give me an opinion on what you think should happen,
- 46:12Speaker 2: and what to me is a pivotal off season. They've
- 46:14Speaker 2: got some expiring contracts, they've got some salary cap space.
- 46:17Speaker 2: I don't think the coach is going anywhere, and I'll
- 46:19Speaker 2: frankly tell you this, I don't think the coach should
- 46:21Speaker 2: go anywhere. I think Lane's on a hell of a
- 46:22Speaker 2: job with what he's had to work with. But for
- 46:25Speaker 2: your thirty thousand view from a foot view of our
- 46:27Speaker 2: hockey team before you talk football, I.
- 46:30Speaker 9: Think that the ownership group needs to go Joe Dirt
- 46:33Speaker 9: mode and clean house. They've got to get everybody in
- 46:37Speaker 9: that front office out. They've got to just start over.
- 46:41Speaker 9: They get somebody that is not associated with that current
- 46:45Speaker 9: group and start fresh. And maybe somebody that has a
- 46:49Speaker 9: past work arrangement with Lane Lambert would be a good
- 46:52Speaker 9: idea as well. But they got to go outside of
- 46:55Speaker 9: the organization. And I think it's obvious. You've played musical
- 46:59Speaker 9: chair with titles you name it, with Ron Francis and
- 47:05Speaker 9: Moodrol and it's at the end of the day, it
- 47:07Speaker 9: just has not worked and the talent that's being brought
- 47:11Speaker 9: in is not where it needs to be. The draft
- 47:14Speaker 9: picks have not panned out the way that they need
- 47:17Speaker 9: to to be able to consistently compete in the NHL.
- 47:20Speaker 9: So I think you give Lane Lambert a much longer
- 47:23Speaker 9: leached I mean, you've had three coaches in three years.
- 47:25Speaker 4: At some point I guess say, Okay.
- 47:26Speaker 9: What's been the common thread here and the cracking have
- 47:30Speaker 9: to show that they're willing to make those kind of
- 47:32Speaker 9: moves even if they like the people that are running
- 47:35Speaker 9: these positions, they're not getting the job done.
- 47:37Speaker 2: You got to start scratch, all right, it is our guy,
- 47:39Speaker 2: Corbyn Smith. Let's talk about the scene that has done
- 47:41Speaker 2: has been successful. They won a Super Bowl. I think
- 47:43Speaker 2: that's about as successful as you can get. That would
- 47:45Speaker 2: be your friends and mine, the Seattle Seahawks of the
- 47:48Speaker 2: National Football League, Sir, can you believe her? Fifteen days
- 47:52Speaker 2: away from the draft? Holy Cowboddy ready to go?
- 47:55Speaker 4: It's you know, when you win a Super Bowl, everything
- 47:58Speaker 4: just creeps up on you incredibly fast.
- 48:01Speaker 9: Like I've had to do double time trying to get
- 48:03Speaker 9: my draft film review in this year.
- 48:05Speaker 4: It's been it's been crazy. I mean, I think fans
- 48:09Speaker 4: are obviously, you know, hey, we'll take a super Bowl.
- 48:11Speaker 4: We don't care if the draft coverage is rushed or whatever.
- 48:14Speaker 9: But that's that's one of the downsides of having a
- 48:18Speaker 9: deep playoff run. I guess if you're a reporter like
- 48:20Speaker 9: oh Man, you know, I get a little bit of
- 48:22Speaker 9: an off season. No.
- 48:22Speaker 4: Wait, the draft is in three days, you know, kind
- 48:26Speaker 4: of the way that it goes when you go deep
- 48:28Speaker 4: into the postseason.
- 48:30Speaker 2: Let's talk running backs, something that you is near and
- 48:33Speaker 2: dear to your heart. I want to start there. We're
- 48:35Speaker 2: going to assume Jeremiah Love is off the board. He's
- 48:37Speaker 2: going to be gone very early, almost in depending on
- 48:41Speaker 2: whether we're talking to your friend of mine, Rob Rang
- 48:44Speaker 2: or we're checking in with somebody else, and just almost
- 48:48Speaker 2: anywhere you look for the running back class, Jeremiah Love
- 48:51Speaker 2: is a first round talent. Nobody else is near the
- 48:55Speaker 2: first round, at least in terms of being rated and ranked,
- 48:58Speaker 2: and really, frankly, to be honest with you, it feels
- 49:00Speaker 2: like most guys are second and I mean mid to
- 49:04Speaker 2: late second, third or later draft picks. I say that, Corbyn,
- 49:07Speaker 2: I still think there's some guys out there that would
- 49:09Speaker 2: provide value and help this football team. But you know,
- 49:12Speaker 2: you've been looking at this, You've been watching this. What
- 49:14Speaker 2: do you think of the running back class overall?
- 49:17Speaker 4: You know, I don't think it's a bad running back class.
- 49:20Speaker 9: The issue is that everybody saw the group we saw
- 49:23Speaker 9: last year, which was historically good led by Ashton Genty,
- 49:28Speaker 9: and he had camp Stataboo and a bunch of other
- 49:30Speaker 9: really good backs in that class. But I don't think
- 49:33Speaker 9: this is a bad draft class. I don't think you're
- 49:36Speaker 9: gonna find many like big time of stars out of
- 49:39Speaker 9: this group.
- 49:40Speaker 4: Loves probably the most likely to be able to achieve that.
- 49:44Speaker 9: That's why he's getting top ten pick consensus ratings out there.
- 49:48Speaker 4: Dynamic playmaker.
- 49:49Speaker 9: But his teammate Darian Price, I think is a very
- 49:52Speaker 9: good running back as well, and he is somebody that
- 49:56Speaker 9: I've kind of had a little bit on my peripheral
- 49:58Speaker 9: as someone the Seahawks could look at as early. It's
- 50:00Speaker 9: picked thirty two because there's gonna be a run on
- 50:04Speaker 9: running backs in the second and third round. You're gonna
- 50:07Speaker 9: have your Mike Washington juniors of the world. You're gonna
- 50:10Speaker 9: have your EMMITTT. Johnson's of the World from Nebraska. You're
- 50:13Speaker 9: gonna have Joanah Coleman. I think Joanah Coleman goes at
- 50:17Speaker 9: some point on day two as well. Once there's a
- 50:19Speaker 9: run on those guys, then there is a big drop
- 50:22Speaker 9: off because they just don't think there's a ton of
- 50:25Speaker 9: depth in this running back class, at least competed in
- 50:27Speaker 9: the last couple of years. If you're wanting to get
- 50:30Speaker 9: somebody that's gonna be an impact guy day one, there
- 50:34Speaker 9: might be a few guys on day three that can
- 50:37Speaker 9: check it up off in certain schemes, but that sweet
- 50:40Speaker 9: spot is clearly the second and.
- 50:42Speaker 4: Third round in this draft.
- 50:43Speaker 2: Clap all right, Corbenn Smith Emeral City Spectrum. He's your
- 50:45Speaker 2: Seahawk Rider runs a show where the Animal City Spectrum
- 50:47Speaker 2: as well. Let me let me get to just I'll
- 50:51Speaker 2: go through the names. We can talk about some of
- 50:53Speaker 2: the guys, but whether it be Jadarian Price, Mike Washington
- 50:57Speaker 2: from Arkansas, I Emitt Johnson's from Nebraska, K Tron Allen
- 51:02Speaker 2: another Penn State. That Penn State's got two guys him
- 51:04Speaker 2: and Singleton. You mentioned Jonah Coleman, Demon Claiborne from Wake Forest,
- 51:08Speaker 2: et cetera. Of all those guys I mentioned, or maybe
- 51:11Speaker 2: there maybe it's Black from Indiana or Taylor from Virginia.
- 51:14Speaker 2: It doesn't even matter. Knowing what Seattle has thirty second,
- 51:18Speaker 2: sixty fourth, They're probably gonna move that thirty second if
- 51:22Speaker 2: they at all possibly can to get a few more picks,
- 51:24Speaker 2: so John Schneyder doesn't have to sit around all day
- 51:26Speaker 2: Saturday until the sixth round and have only one pick.
- 51:29Speaker 2: But knowing all the parameters, they need a running back,
- 51:32Speaker 2: what their scheme is, what they like to do, what
- 51:35Speaker 2: they want to run, who they already have in the stable,
- 51:37Speaker 2: whether it be Charbonny Off the injury, whatever it may be,
- 51:43Speaker 2: who makes the most sense for Seattle and where.
- 51:47Speaker 9: You know, that's where the argument with Jadarian Price really
- 51:51Speaker 9: makes a lot of sense, because I think with what
- 51:53Speaker 9: you just lost Ken Walker the third for the issues
- 51:57Speaker 9: that he had at times with his vision or trying
- 51:59Speaker 9: to bounce everything outside too much and not being decisive,
- 52:04Speaker 9: where we saw major improvements in.
- 52:06Speaker 4: The playoffs on that front.
- 52:07Speaker 9: But for all those issues, the dude was as twitchy
- 52:11Speaker 9: and explosive as any back in the National Football League.
- 52:14Speaker 9: He was a home run waiting to happen anytime he
- 52:16Speaker 9: touched the ball. The Seahawks right now don't have a
- 52:19Speaker 9: running back on the roster that gives them that kind
- 52:22Speaker 9: of ability. Jadarian Price is a home run threat, and
- 52:25Speaker 9: not just in the running game. He's also been a
- 52:28Speaker 9: really dynamic kick returner, So that tells you the type
- 52:32Speaker 9: of athlete, the playmaker that you're getting. He's a glider
- 52:35Speaker 9: that really excels vision wise. He is a guy that
- 52:38Speaker 9: can hit chunk plays left and right. I think that's
- 52:42Speaker 9: the kind of back that they probably should be trying
- 52:44Speaker 9: to look for here. The issue is if you don't
- 52:46Speaker 9: take Jadarium Price, and I'm thinking you're probably gonna have
- 52:50Speaker 9: to take him early second at the latest, he's probably
- 52:53Speaker 9: gonna be the second running back off the board if.
- 52:55Speaker 4: You don't take him.
- 52:57Speaker 9: There's not a lot of other bats in this class
- 52:59Speaker 9: that have that kind of breakaway speed and home run
- 53:03Speaker 9: hitting ability. There's a lot of backs like Mike Washington
- 53:07Speaker 9: Junior that you know he's a four to three guy.
- 53:10Speaker 9: He's hit some home runs, but it doesn't always show
- 53:11Speaker 9: up on the film.
- 53:12Speaker 4: You have a lot of bigger body backs that are
- 53:15Speaker 4: more of the between the tackle variety, go break some tackles.
- 53:20Speaker 9: I think Jennarian Price, though, he is that one guy
- 53:22Speaker 9: that you could justify, you know, you trade down to
- 53:24Speaker 9: recoup a pick or two. All Right, we're gonna we're
- 53:26Speaker 9: gonna take a running back here early in the second round.
- 53:29Speaker 9: Jennarian Price is the guy that I think makes the
- 53:31Speaker 9: most sense in terms of what they lost with Ken Walker.
- 53:33Speaker 2: The third it is our guy, Corbyn Smith joining us,
- 53:36Speaker 2: and we appreciate him joining us at Emerald Cityspectrum dot com.
- 53:41Speaker 2: Just along those lines, before I move on to some
- 53:43Speaker 2: of the other guys, do you think in that regard
- 53:46Speaker 2: that they are gonna have If they they're gonna have,
- 53:49Speaker 2: the price would be you have to guy be a
- 53:50Speaker 2: guy you get early second So in other words, if
- 53:52Speaker 2: you're gonna make a move with that thirty second pick,
- 53:54Speaker 2: you better make sure that you have that pick early
- 53:56Speaker 2: in the second round.
- 53:58Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you're looking there five or six picks
- 54:01Speaker 9: on day two. I think there's gonna be a run
- 54:03Speaker 9: on running backs starting at that point because I'm expecting.
- 54:07Speaker 9: I think Jonah Coleman is gonna get drafted earlier than
- 54:10Speaker 9: a lot of people are prognosticating. I think he could
- 54:12Speaker 9: go in the second round people turn on the twenty
- 54:15Speaker 9: twenty four tape and you're gonna be thinking, Oh, who's
- 54:18Speaker 9: this guy? You know when he when he was fully healthy,
- 54:20Speaker 9: I think. And he's also coming from a pro style offense,
- 54:23Speaker 9: so that's gonna be a big feather in the cap
- 54:26Speaker 9: for him as well. Emmitt Johnson's a good player. Another
- 54:30Speaker 9: guy that I think is gonna go much higher than
- 54:32Speaker 9: people are talking about. There's two really good running backs
- 54:35Speaker 9: coming from Indiana. Hemby from Indiana is a guy that
- 54:39Speaker 9: I'm really high on that I think.
- 54:40Speaker 4: Goes on day two as well.
- 54:42Speaker 9: So you've you've got some players there that have talent
- 54:47Speaker 9: that I think they're gonna be gone in a very
- 54:48Speaker 9: quick order. I'm expecting a lot of running backs to
- 54:51Speaker 9: go on day two and then it's gonna dry out.
- 54:53Speaker 9: So if you're running a guy like Jenerian Price, you're
- 54:55Speaker 9: gonna have to You're gonna have to hope that he's
- 54:58Speaker 9: there early in the second round trade down, or if
- 55:01Speaker 9: you're worried about losing him, you might just have to
- 55:03Speaker 9: take him at thirty two and hey, you get the
- 55:05Speaker 9: fifty year option build in which we're seeing the advantage
- 55:09Speaker 9: of that with the contracts they've signed for Smith and
- 55:11Speaker 9: Jigbu and Cross.
- 55:12Speaker 2: We go back to Mike Washington Junior for a second
- 55:15Speaker 2: burner at four three three and the forty. You know
- 55:18Speaker 2: a good size too, I mean, big guy that can run.
- 55:21Speaker 2: What is it about him on tape that you didn't like?
- 55:24Speaker 9: The ball security is the first thing that really really
- 55:27Speaker 9: messed with me, being a running back coach and a
- 55:29Speaker 9: running back myself.
- 55:30Speaker 4: I mean, twelve fumbles in his college career. That is scary.
- 55:34Speaker 4: That is a huge red flag. And the other thing
- 55:37Speaker 4: for him being at two hundred.
- 55:38Speaker 9: And twenty five plus pound back, you don't always feel
- 55:42Speaker 9: him as a runner.
- 55:43Speaker 4: You don't feel that physicality always.
- 55:46Speaker 9: It's not consistently there as being a punisher that you
- 55:49Speaker 9: would expect that size. I was left wanting more when
- 55:53Speaker 9: I was watching a tape from that regard. Now, he
- 55:55Speaker 9: is a sleek runner.
- 55:57Speaker 4: And if he has a seen, he's he's gone. He's
- 56:00Speaker 4: got that elite speed and it shows up on TAKEE.
- 56:02Speaker 9: But he doesn't run like the size, which suggests that
- 56:05Speaker 9: he does, and I think in the NFL he's going
- 56:08Speaker 9: to have to figure out how.
- 56:09Speaker 4: To do that.
- 56:09Speaker 2: Wall also hold him onto the football. That is a
- 56:11Speaker 2: big red flag for me. Let's talk Penn State running backs.
- 56:15Speaker 2: They've got two of them. K Tron Allen five to
- 56:18Speaker 2: eleven two sixteen didn't run the forty at the Combine,
- 56:21Speaker 2: and they've also got Nicholas Singleton's sixty two two twenty
- 56:24Speaker 2: also didn't run the forty. But two kind of different
- 56:27Speaker 2: size backs, but two backs from the same school, kind
- 56:29Speaker 2: of like Notre Dame. What do you see those guys?
- 56:32Speaker 4: I have both of them with Day three grades.
- 56:35Speaker 9: They have times that they look like they could be
- 56:38Speaker 9: drafted higher than that, but there's been a lot of
- 56:40Speaker 9: inconsistency of their games. I'm higher on Allen between the two.
- 56:44Speaker 9: Singleton his production has been really weird. He had a
- 56:47Speaker 9: couple thousand yard seasons and then he had a couple
- 56:50Speaker 9: of years that were underwhelming.
- 56:52Speaker 4: Production wise in between those.
- 56:54Speaker 9: So I just don't I don't see either one of
- 56:57Speaker 9: those guys being a starter, see them being change of
- 57:01Speaker 9: pace backs in the National Football League. I think Alan,
- 57:05Speaker 9: if there's one that's gonna pop, is probably the one
- 57:07Speaker 9: that I would think has a little better chance.
- 57:08Speaker 4: They both can catch the football, so there's some three
- 57:11Speaker 4: down value there. But I think there are several backs
- 57:14Speaker 4: in the class that are better than both of them?
- 57:17Speaker 2: Who else do you like for Seattle wants to run.
- 57:21Speaker 9: Well if you want to look on day two, Like
- 57:22Speaker 9: I said, Roman Hemby is a player that I'm very
- 57:25Speaker 9: high on because you see a guy that has great vision.
- 57:28Speaker 9: He's a decisive, patient runner that also has some pop,
- 57:32Speaker 9: has no ability to hit some home runs.
- 57:34Speaker 4: I think he's a guy that could make a lot
- 57:36Speaker 4: of sense for them.
- 57:38Speaker 2: He was the number two guy too, right, he was
- 57:40Speaker 2: behind Kaylon Black.
- 57:42Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really it really depended by game with that.
- 57:46Speaker 4: I mean, I think Blacks would be a good.
- 57:48Speaker 9: NFL player too, but I've got I have some durability
- 57:51Speaker 9: concerns with him going to the next level that I've
- 57:54Speaker 9: got on my list here. But I just think Hemby
- 57:57Speaker 9: is a guy that really fits Seattle's zoney scheme. I
- 58:00Speaker 9: think he would be a nice fit. Taylor from Virginia
- 58:03Speaker 9: is not going to wow you with his athleticism, but
- 58:06Speaker 9: if you're looking for a guy that could move the
- 58:08Speaker 9: chains and he's gonna be able to consistently hit his
- 58:12Speaker 9: target points in the zone game, be effective, play faster
- 58:15Speaker 9: than his testing.
- 58:16Speaker 4: Taylor is a running back that late.
- 58:19Speaker 9: Day two, early Day three could make a lot of sense.
- 58:21Speaker 9: And here's my wild card for you, all right, Day three,
- 58:25Speaker 9: Robert Henry Junior from UTSA. You watch the film against
- 58:29Speaker 9: Texas A and M. They had one of the best
- 58:31Speaker 9: run defenses in college football. He averaged almost ten yards
- 58:35Speaker 9: of carry and went for over one hundred and seventy
- 58:36Speaker 9: yards against him. He is fast, he's electric, he has wiggle,
- 58:42Speaker 9: and he is a guy that has home run hitting
- 58:44Speaker 9: ability can catch the football as well. He's a Day
- 58:47Speaker 9: three target that I think could make a lot of
- 58:49Speaker 9: sense if the Seahawks haven't picked a running back.
- 58:52Speaker 2: By that point, Corbyn, when you're watching these guys, listen
- 58:54Speaker 2: the forty time, I think is always an interesting thing
- 58:56Speaker 2: that Corbin Smith joining a cinemal seaspectum. I think the
- 58:58Speaker 2: forty times is always an interesting thing to look at
- 59:00Speaker 2: with running back or with any player in the NFL,
- 59:02Speaker 2: because listen, if we're talking about an offensive lineman, I
- 59:06Speaker 2: don't care what his forty time is. Now we can
- 59:08Speaker 2: look at cone drills and all those things. I think
- 59:10Speaker 2: you'd agree right that, because last I saw, I'm not
- 59:13Speaker 2: worried about Abe Lucas running a forty I'm not worried
- 59:15Speaker 2: about Gray's abel running a forty, But there are positions
- 59:18Speaker 2: that probably the forty does mean something in terms of
- 59:21Speaker 2: acceleration and finishing and all those things. When you look
- 59:24Speaker 2: at a running back, what do you want to see
- 59:27Speaker 2: from a running back in terms of in terms of
- 59:29Speaker 2: how fast he is? Well, here's what I'm asking. This
- 59:34Speaker 2: better way to put it. What's a red flag in
- 59:36Speaker 2: terms of a number? Like what what when you get
- 59:38Speaker 2: to four? What is it becoming a problem?
- 59:40Speaker 9: Do you think I'd say four, four, six, five probably
- 59:44Speaker 9: would be my rie. I know some people are going
- 59:46Speaker 9: to say, wait a second, see you're okay with a
- 59:48Speaker 9: low four to six. Yeah, because at the end of
- 59:51Speaker 9: the day, I want guys that have I'm more worried
- 59:54Speaker 9: about the ten yard split at the beginning.
- 59:56Speaker 4: How quickly do they accelerate up to top speed? That
- 59:59Speaker 4: matters more to me.
- 1:00:00Speaker 9: And then with running backs, the three cone drill and
- 1:00:02Speaker 9: a short shuttle showing those change of direction skills, those
- 1:00:06Speaker 9: are more important.
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: I actually value.
- 1:00:08Speaker 9: Forty more for offensive linemen than I do for running rills.
- 1:00:11Speaker 9: And there's a really interesting track record. Rob rang and
- 1:00:15Speaker 9: I have talked about this a lot in the past.
- 1:00:18Speaker 9: There is a really interesting track record with tackles in
- 1:00:22Speaker 9: particular being sub five second forty is and having success
- 1:00:25Speaker 9: in the NFL. And it's interesting you'd think running back
- 1:00:30Speaker 9: would be more of a worry with that, But I
- 1:00:33Speaker 9: really look at those ten yards splits in the twenty
- 1:00:35Speaker 9: yards splits, and I like to see the way that
- 1:00:37Speaker 9: those linemen finished because it just shows off their overall
- 1:00:41Speaker 9: athletic profile, their explosiveness, and it seems to have some
- 1:00:45Speaker 9: bearing on these types of tackles that have success in
- 1:00:48Speaker 9: today's NFL.
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: And so I look closely at the forty with.
- 1:00:52Speaker 9: Offensive linement that might seem crazy, But running back, I'm
- 1:00:56Speaker 9: more worried about the agility the change of direction drills
- 1:00:59Speaker 9: and the umping with which the vertical and the broad
- 1:01:02Speaker 9: jump or explosive drills. That is another set of drills
- 1:01:06Speaker 9: I will at closely with running back as well.
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: All Right, I'm going to ask you the following. This
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: is to wrap it up.
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: Now.
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: I'm going to take Charbonay's off the list, Emmanuel Wilson's
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: off the list because they're veterans, uh. And I'm taking
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: Halani off the list because listen, you're the You're the
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: You and Rang are the presidents of the George Hallane
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: fan clubs. I'm taking him off the list too, just
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: for my own sake, my own my own mental well
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: being of the following, which one of these guys has
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: the opportunity to come in and kind of people go, WHOA,
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: where they have this guy stashed out? Or where would
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: this guy come from and maybe be able to make
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: that fifty three man roster and get into the running
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: back rotation? Would it be? And too these guys are
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: coming off injuries. Kenny McIntosh, Vellis Jones, Jacarti, you're right.
- 1:01:55Speaker 9: You know, I know a lot of fans are probably
- 1:01:57Speaker 9: gonna expect me to say Kenny McIntosh is the way
- 1:01:59Speaker 9: he two years ago. I'm going Jacartia, right, though, I
- 1:02:04Speaker 9: loved what I saw from him in the preseason in
- 1:02:07Speaker 9: training camp last year, and he had twenty rushing yards
- 1:02:10Speaker 9: and the only game he played in the regular season
- 1:02:12Speaker 9: two and he he had some.
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: Chris Carson to his game.
- 1:02:15Speaker 9: I don't think he's explosive, but he's got the big body,
- 1:02:19Speaker 9: he's got the white gate that he runs with, has
- 1:02:21Speaker 9: some tackle breaking ability.
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: He catches the ball like a receiver. Jacarti, A right, is.
- 1:02:27Speaker 9: Somebody that I would keep an eye on there because
- 1:02:29Speaker 9: he's more explosive than some of these other big backs
- 1:02:32Speaker 9: that are in.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: This draft class. Okay, so you're back in my good graces.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: That's fine. That's what I was hoping. I would hope
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: that was kind of hoping you would say that, and
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: you did so well done. Thank you very much. He
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: was an undrafted free agent last year.
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: Yeah, let's talk about George Halan.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: No, because I got to talk to Ran on Friday
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: and I'm gonna ask him some of the same things.
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: He's gonna go down that same road. Listen, you guys
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: can podcast, you know, George Halane fan clip stuff together

- 1:04:45Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM.
- 1:04:56Speaker 10: Hey man a fans, JP Crowfit here, just want to
- 1:04:59Speaker 10: talk about the Mariner's season.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Excuse me one moment, hey, JP.
- 1:05:10Speaker 10: Yeah, Colt Emerson is online one for you.
- 1:05:14Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: Thank Hey, guys, I'll have to talk to you soon. Thanks.
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: I here's a thought.
- 1:05:22Speaker 11: When did the Mariners announce Colt Emerson's ninety five million
- 1:05:27Speaker 11: dollar contract and how does that reflect on the Mariner's
- 1:05:33Speaker 11: record since the announcement, could veterans be just a little
- 1:05:38Speaker 11: bit pissed that that ninety five million didn't go towards
- 1:05:42Speaker 11: doing more for the major league roster?
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: Just a thought, interesting thought. I don't think so. I
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: think that's I think that's a little bit of a
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: stretch in a reach. But I mean, listen, this is
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: where the print world is really hard. Because the initial
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: stop that came out when JP was asked about cold
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Emerson made it really sound bad for jp R.
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: Very petty, But that was that was like written quotes.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: You don't you don't hear text? Yeah you know? Then
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: then you know that was done from Daniel Kramer. Then
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: Ryan Divish says, hey, there's nothing to see here. Move along.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: They just can't hit right now. It's as simple as that.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: It two hits today, two hits.
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: Today, and how many runs over three games?
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: That would be three and none today.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: It's just tough. It's it's tough.
- 1:06:35Speaker 5: And I think do you think that the afterglow of
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: the Super Bowl and the success we saw from the
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: NFL team might be putting a little undue pressure.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: Especially I think the pressure would come from them having
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: being eight outs away from the World Series last year.
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: I was going to add that, Yes, I would. I've
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: just been looking through here. I mean, batting average means
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: not a lot, we understand that. But Cal's hitting one
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: forty three is ops is forty one awful numbers. Julio
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: one forty three as well, three ninety three oh ps. Rosarine,
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: he's driving the ball well two fifteen to seven oh seven.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: That's a superstar right now. One with Donovan three sixteen
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: and an ops of one point zero two seven. Crawford
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: one to eighteen. Paul Young, he's doing what he can
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: as a nine hitters two sixty. He got no complaints
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: with him. He's won for three today. I don't know. Randy,
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: uh Randy, Donovan, Rodriguez all had two strikeouts today. They
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: had two walks as a team today, two walks. Can't hit,
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: can't hit, can't win. It sucks because this pitching staff's
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: been sensational. Come more fire away before he gets the text.
- 1:07:45Speaker 8: Hey that Ian Jessman and unders Chris and Brien Kris
- 1:07:47Speaker 8: and Birien. What up? It's the beginning of April. Kraken
- 1:07:52Speaker 8: can't shoot, the Mariners can't hit, and our.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Pats heads are falling off.
- 1:08:02Speaker 4: Jeez.
- 1:08:04Speaker 8: I'm glad we enjoyed football season because I think the
- 1:08:08Speaker 8: fall is the only time it's a good time.
- 1:08:11Speaker 4: To be a Seattle sports fan. Go Mariners.
- 1:08:15Speaker 10: Hey in depressed Seattle sports fan here.
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. Mariners have two.
- 1:08:22Speaker 10: Hits, but it's nice out. Maybe I'll go to the
- 1:08:26Speaker 10: speedway and wait for Christian Michael's autograph. At least that'll
- 1:08:30Speaker 10: give me a little bit of joy.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: I don't know, probably be the.
- 1:08:34Speaker 10: Only person there, but still won't be as many. There
- 1:08:37Speaker 10: still be more people than the Mariners had hits. They
- 1:08:40Speaker 10: only had two.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: Later, guys, you don't have to wait for the autograph.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll be. We'll walk right up there and
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: get it. But yeah, that's fine, all right to come
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: to dodge text line four nine four five. One EM's
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: got swepty and I hate it. Why does it take
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: it until June to hit? There's no marine layer in Texas?
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:09:02Speaker 3: Seems to be the way.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: Let's see, I have, Yeah, I got a couple of
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: cracker ones that are and they're all depressing here. Even
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: a few years ago, watching NHL document about the Pittsburgh
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: Penguin's tanking to get Mario, knew everyone knew what was happening,
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: but they couldn't talk about. I think tanking for Mario
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: worked out for the Penguins. It did pre lottery, right though.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: I think that was the difference. That's why I said
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: that it's not gonna happen with the lottery. A lot
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: of hockey thing, you know, San Antonio Spurs tanked a
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: few times to get number one picks, but it's not
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: gonna happen in hockey. Keith such a bomber the crack
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: and have everything from announcers to facilities at a world
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: class level and the team play. So eh, still won't
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: shake my life along five years love of the team.
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: Let's see three six? Oh, should Dan Wilson ripped the
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: team a new one?
- 1:09:46Speaker 9: You know?
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Lou Wood? Yeah, lou Wood. I don't think that's in
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: Dan's makeup, and I don't know if that helps you
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: hit balls.
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: He's a different style of manager too.
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll if you here right. No is Harry Do
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: from the Major League? One hit, one GD hit?
- 1:09:58Speaker 5: Yes?
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: Uh, it's crazy. For a while, all our teams are winning,
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: and now all our teams are losing. That's because the
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: Seahawks aren't playing right now. That's why.
- 1:10:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the.
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: Two factory also is kind of loling at the bunch
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: of sad fans coming on. I can't stand that they
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: can't hit, but after a year they can't year after year,
- 1:10:17Speaker 5: they can't hit until June.
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: I don't know why people are still surprised.
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: I think that's the one thing that you take solace
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: in is that this isn't a new phenomenon.
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: It's tradition.
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: It's it's a tradition like no other until tomorrow, when
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: the tradition like no other, the Masters comes in. Somebody's
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: asking about Boby Casper. He's gonna be on tomorrow. I
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: think we're gonna try to track him down.
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: Yes, actually he confirmed with a little bit earlier.
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: Yes, I want to out. Yeah, we're busy tomorrow busy.
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: Wait, why not be why not?
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: Don't forget the the golf challenge and I through three
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: KJR dot com. Go ahead and get that signed up
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: right now. We told you about that earlier.
- 1:10:48Speaker 5: Six fifteen days until the Peanut, butter and Jelly Sandwich Challenge.
- 1:10:51Speaker 5: The challenge, you have to eat one more sandwich than Hugh.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: It's absolutely impossible to do, is it though.
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: Yeah, he's pretty good at it.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: You can't eat one more than him. There's no way
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: you can. That would be like a dozen or so.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: It's an amazing phenomena.
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: Yeah, I only counted four last time, but I think
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: I might have missed him. He might have slipped me
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: a couple of times.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: Yeah, it could. I could.
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: They have like really good food there too.
- 1:11:12Speaker 5: And.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: I hat a PBJ this morning it's fantastic, really good. Yeah,
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: I loved it this morning. Right, let us see what
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: else we got. Would would Mariners consider firing Dan Wilson? Now,
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: We're still too early from Rod, way too early, I think,
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: because there's this weird track record. First of all, I
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: don't think you fire the manager or what are they?
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: Four nine?
- 1:11:39Speaker 5: Now?
- 1:11:39Speaker 2: Is that what it is? Thirteen games in the season.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: But no, that can happen, not gonna. But again, the
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: track record is this, it's what we just saw, Like
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: we just saw. This is what we see every year
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: by and large, especially from Julio, but kind of a
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: slow start from the team. I think what we talked
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: about yesterday if you missed our show yesterday with Johan,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: and we talked about this with Crawford as well with Chris.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: You know, Chris brought this point up yesterday when I
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: was kind of texting with him. And every game matters
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: the same. So, yes, does this mean you're not gonna
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: make the playoffs? Does this mean you're dires?
- 1:12:19Speaker 5: No?
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: But when you get to the end of the season
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: and I'm still assuming this team is gonna win the
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: AL West, like I think this is still the team
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: wins the AL West. But you want to have home
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: field advantage throughout the playoffs. Yes, and you we don't
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: want to see this team have to go to New
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: York or wherever for an ALCS series. You want to
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: be here at Temobile Park in front of the fans
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: in Seattle who deserve that. So last year they missed
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: it by four games. Better start those games aren't in
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: Toronto six and seven? Right, they were just off today,
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: or as he heard, he was just off. I assume
- 1:12:55Speaker 2: the victor of Robos is on the ten day injured list.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: They brought up.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: Don't see anything regards Naylors something.
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: Yeah, they brought up this Joe dude who had a
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: critical error cost him two runs and a three and
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: nothing loss, regardless of the victor injury, says Quinn. Why
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: is Nailer getting a day off after a stretch of
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: losing four games. Don't yell at me, baseball guy. I
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: know it's early, but losing these early games have costas
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: playing in the past. Let's bleep and go guys. Yeah, no,
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: I I I think the Naylor day off was probably
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: because he's been really bad. Of all those guys, he's
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: been the worst. He's been the least productive of the
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: big group, of the core group, right, so they gave
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: him the day day game off. He has a day
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: off tomorrow. And I'm telling you, I believe in Josh
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: natomy Man. He's gonna regroup. He'll be fine, He'll be fine. Right,
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: I have zero because he's Canadian. Oh my god, it
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: just suggests is there a ring on that figure? She's
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: been married for two years. She said that it's on
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: the eight four to three.
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yes, I've talked about my husband quite a.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Bit of this. He's a Celtics fan. We like Mike.
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: Even though he's a Celtics fan.
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: We like him a lot.
- 1:13:56Speaker 5: We do not have an NBA team here. I did
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: not grow up an NBA. It's another sport that I
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: get to root for.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, I'll let all the texts coming in.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: I'll let Softy discuss his former update anchor on Comcast
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: Sports Net. I'll let him do that. That's his that's
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: his job, not my job. By the way, four two
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: five emergency Mollywop. Not yet.
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: I don't think we're there yet.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: We're not quite. There's no bat signal going up in
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: the can you imagine?
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: No, I mean, I tried to fashion one out of
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: a you know, one of those mag lights.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: And then we make we need some sort of signal
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: for an emergency, mollywop. I don't know what it is,
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: an alarm, like.
- 1:14:44Speaker 3: A Viking horn of something.
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: Yeah, horn, think about something we could put that like
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: it would just signal it's an emergency, mollywop. And then
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: the boys are just there, like all of a sudden,
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: they're boom.
- 1:14:56Speaker 3: Shine it into the sky, shout it into the sea.
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: They'll be here.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: I knew, you know what's funny. I knew someone was
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: going to ask about that. I knew there was gonna
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: be a fought in the question if there should be
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: an emergency model. By the way, Dave Satimor has head
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: coach Mike McDonald from the Seahawks on at three point
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: thirty today, Build Soft Deal. Jonas. Next, you know what
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: a really big show is? A really big show is

- 1:15:33Speaker 2: That's what's happening today on this radio station. Whose show
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: is that? That would be the Jackson Felts Extravagance. There
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: you go, there you go. You said Schmetzer wouldn't come on,
