Speaker 1: Here from Seahawks set training camp. Meanwhile, we needed eyes
0:03
Speaker 1: and ears on Huskies camp, and so why wouldn't we
0:06
Speaker 1: reach out to one of our Dogmn friends. Scott Ecklin
0:10
Speaker 1: from dog Man Now joins us here on the radio
0:13
Speaker 1: program to talk some Huskies football.
0:16
Speaker 2: How you doing, man, I'm doing great man dog days
0:19
Speaker 2: this summer. I'm getting to that grind where it's like,
0:23
Speaker 2: all right, I'm tired of watching drills, Let's watch some football.
0:28
Speaker 1: How's the feel out there? What's the camp like? What's
0:31
Speaker 1: what's the vibe out there? Scott?
0:34
Speaker 2: Well, I think the vibe has been a little bit
0:36
Speaker 2: of chippiness, which you know, can obviously go overboard, sometimes
0:41
Speaker 2: too much, but I think the Huskies have done a
0:44
Speaker 2: good job of controlling it. Guys pushing and shoving a
0:47
Speaker 2: few times here, and they're tired of hitting the same
0:49
Speaker 2: people all the time. But Drew has a party, John
0:53
Speaker 2: Mills and then Rylan Dillard Allen, who's about half the size.
0:57
Speaker 3: Of each of those guys.
0:59
Speaker 2: Those guys, we've all gotten into it a little bit
1:01
Speaker 2: here and there, and so there's definitely some spirited competitions
1:04
Speaker 2: going on there. There's a lot of I think quiet
1:09
Speaker 2: confidence from this coaching staff and this team. I think
1:13
Speaker 2: they know they've built this team up to be pretty
1:15
Speaker 2: darn good. Now they need to just go out and
1:17
Speaker 2: prove it on the field.
1:18
Speaker 1: How much more difficult in today's atmosphere. Do you think
1:22
Speaker 1: it is to gel during camp or early in a
1:25
Speaker 1: season when you have as much turnover to the roster
1:29
Speaker 1: as you have these days? Do you think there's an
1:31
Speaker 1: effect there?
1:34
Speaker 2: I get the question, and I totally understand why it's asked.
1:39
Speaker 2: The thing is nowadays, you know, back in the seventies, eighties,
1:44
Speaker 2: even in the nineties and much further before that, guys
1:48
Speaker 2: didn't really see each other in the offseason until they
1:50
Speaker 2: reported for camp, and they got in shape in camp.
1:53
Speaker 2: That's why you needed two a days. That's why guys
1:56
Speaker 2: ran gassers. That's when they got into football shape, into
1:59
Speaker 2: just any kind of a cardio shape. Well, now these
2:01
Speaker 2: players are are are basically it's a year round thing
2:05
Speaker 2: for them. They're they're doing player led practices in the
2:09
Speaker 2: in the month of July, They're doing conditioning all throughout
2:13
Speaker 2: winter and during during the summer and everything like that.
2:17
Speaker 2: It's just these guys have been around each other for
2:19
Speaker 2: so long, even the guys who showed up in January.
2:22
Speaker 2: They've been pretty intensely working out with each other for
2:26
Speaker 2: the last seven months. So I you know, I don't
2:29
Speaker 2: get the feeling that that the turnover, as much as
2:33
Speaker 2: it can definitely be an issue. I don't get the
2:35
Speaker 2: sense that it's as much of an issue as maybe
2:38
Speaker 2: we think it might be from the outside looking in.
2:40
Speaker 1: Great explanation, Scott Ecklin from dog Man with us, he's
2:44
Speaker 1: been out at Husky's Camp. We have not, we haven't
2:46
Speaker 1: had the opportunity. We will be out there next week
2:49
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. Cam Cleveland's going to be joining
2:51
Speaker 1: me out there, So we'll be at a couple of
2:53
Speaker 1: practices next week, broadcasting right here on the morning show.
2:57
Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into some of this stuff, I mean,
2:59
Speaker 1: some of my favorite I gotta do the cliche questions
3:03
Speaker 1: about camp. Let's start with the buzz. Who's the talk
3:07
Speaker 1: of camp, Who's creating the buzz for the dogs?
3:11
Speaker 2: Well, I think the guy that's really creating a lot
3:15
Speaker 2: of buzz is someone who created a lot of buzz
3:17
Speaker 2: last year. He's not even nineteen yet, but he's entering
3:19
Speaker 2: his second year with the Huskies.
3:21
Speaker 3: And that's John Mills. I mean, the guy is.
3:24
Speaker 2: Almost six y seven, he's he's close to three hundred
3:27
Speaker 2: and forty pounds. His hair is down almost to the
3:30
Speaker 2: middle of his back. He's got a mullet. He looks
3:33
Speaker 2: like I don't know, I compared him to when I
3:36
Speaker 2: talked with Softy and Dick about it, Michael P. Hayes
3:40
Speaker 2: from The Fabulous Freebirds. He looks like that, the old wrestler.
3:44
Speaker 2: It's just it's awesome. And he's such a gregarious guy
3:48
Speaker 2: and he's got such a great personality. And you know,
3:51
Speaker 2: he did that muggin with Mills thing that he did
3:53
Speaker 2: with El Gaucho.
3:55
Speaker 4: And just his personality, and I think that's one of
3:58
Speaker 4: the He's.
3:59
Speaker 2: Kind of the f of the program right now as
4:01
Speaker 2: much as Demon Williams because he's the quarterback. He's the
4:04
Speaker 2: de facto leader of this team. John Mills is kind
4:07
Speaker 2: of that face of the program. And you know this
4:11
Speaker 2: chuck from interviews and all that different stuff. The linemen
4:14
Speaker 2: are always the most fun to talk to because they
4:17
Speaker 2: don't give a rats, you know, what what anybody.
4:21
Speaker 3: Thinks about them.
4:22
Speaker 2: They're just gonna come out and tell you what they
4:24
Speaker 2: think and they're gonna and if they've got a good
4:26
Speaker 2: personality to.
4:27
Speaker 3: Make you laugh.
4:28
Speaker 4: So I'd say on that on the offensive side of the.
4:30
Speaker 2: Ball, John Mills is definitely the one that's catching a
4:32
Speaker 2: lot of people's eyes. You know, obviously the wide receiver
4:36
Speaker 2: competition with Christian Moss, Rashid Williams, Desmond Roebuck, Chris Loss
4:41
Speaker 2: and all those guys, that's something a lot of people
4:43
Speaker 2: are looking at.
4:44
Speaker 3: Quid Carr in the running back room with Jayden Lamar.
4:48
Speaker 4: And possibly Trey Cooley who's coming back.
4:51
Speaker 2: Those guys are all all battling for those spots. But
4:53
Speaker 2: I think Sean Mills is kind of that guy that
4:55
Speaker 2: everybody's kind of looking at and saying, that's the guy
4:58
Speaker 2: that we're kind of watching.
4:59
Speaker 3: Right now now.
5:00
Speaker 2: And then on the defensive side of the ball, you
5:02
Speaker 2: know you've got Derreck Coleman Brus. You just don't see
5:04
Speaker 2: a lot of freshmen that come in looking like he did.
5:07
Speaker 2: Six five, two hundred and ninety five pounds is already
5:11
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup. You know, it'll it'll be interesting
5:14
Speaker 2: to see how much playing time.
5:15
Speaker 3: He gets right away.
5:17
Speaker 2: Will he play forty to fifty snaps a game, or
5:20
Speaker 2: is he going to be more relegated to twenty five
5:22
Speaker 2: thirty as he just kind of gets used to the
5:24
Speaker 2: college game. But you also have a secondary with Alex
5:27
Speaker 2: McLaughlin and I already mentioned Ryland Dillard Allen. Those guys
5:30
Speaker 2: are are leaders of this defense. And that's that linebacker group,
5:34
Speaker 2: who I personally think is very underrated nationally. I think
5:37
Speaker 2: they're a top ten unit in the entire country. You've
5:40
Speaker 2: got four guys who could be starting yet probably eighty
5:45
Speaker 2: five to ninety percent of the schools in this country,
5:47
Speaker 2: and two of them are going to have to be
5:48
Speaker 2: on the bench when of the teams on the field
5:50
Speaker 2: in the regular base defense. So just a lot of
5:53
Speaker 2: stuff going on, a lot of great personalities at this camp,
5:57
Speaker 2: and it's been fun covering him so far.
6:00
Speaker 1: Scott Eklin with US talking Huskies camp. One other question
6:04
Speaker 1: on Mills, is it a foregone conclusion that it's Cody
6:07
Speaker 1: Green at left tackle and John Mills at left guard?
6:11
Speaker 1: And if that is the combination, is youth gonna be
6:15
Speaker 1: an excuse? Are we gonna have to wait on them
6:17
Speaker 1: to gel or is that gonna be a duo that's
6:20
Speaker 1: going to be good to great immediately?
6:24
Speaker 3: Good to great immediately.
6:25
Speaker 2: I'm not one hundred percent. I'm not one hundred percent
6:27
Speaker 2: sold on that yet. But do I think it's.
6:30
Speaker 3: Going to be really good?
6:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think I think it might take a
6:35
Speaker 2: few weeks. Look, Cody Green has just turned eighteen years old.
6:39
Speaker 2: He's he's a guy who has an elite talent. I mean,
6:44
Speaker 2: we're talking Lincoln Kennedy, Khalif Barnes kind of kind of
6:48
Speaker 2: talent level coming in.
6:50
Speaker 3: But he's only a freshman.
6:52
Speaker 2: He's a guy who really hasn't done anything at this level.
6:57
Speaker 2: So it's gonna take him some time to get used
7:00
Speaker 2: to the college game. It's going to take him some
7:02
Speaker 2: time to get used to playing some of these guys
7:04
Speaker 2: who are just as talented, if not more talented than
7:06
Speaker 2: he is that he's going to be facing off with.
7:09
Speaker 2: So but he and John Mills are going to be
7:12
Speaker 2: that Walter Jones Steve Hutchinson combo at least for two years,
7:16
Speaker 2: if not three at Washington, and it's gonna be great
7:21
Speaker 2: for Husky fans to kind of keep an eye on
7:23
Speaker 2: that group. And then you've got another second year player.
7:28
Speaker 2: We're not calling him red shirt freshman anymore, but second
7:30
Speaker 2: year player, Champ ka lay Lea. He's battling Garon Hatchett. Well,
7:34
Speaker 2: Garan Hatchett hasn't even really been on the field yet
7:36
Speaker 2: because he's still recovering from an arm injury he suffered
7:39
Speaker 2: in spring ball. So champ Taalayala is gonna is getting
7:43
Speaker 2: a ton of reps with the first unit. And I mean,
7:45
Speaker 2: you're you're talking about three guys who are who are
7:48
Speaker 2: all under the age of nineteen years old.
7:51
Speaker 4: Starting the season for the University of Washington.
7:53
Speaker 2: That's pretty special, but it could also lead to some
7:56
Speaker 2: inconsistencies up front, at least early on.
7:59
Speaker 1: We're supposed to chat with Jade and Lamar. Next Week's
8:02
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the Huskies that comes on with us.
8:05
Speaker 1: When I sit down with him next week at Huskies camp,
8:07
Speaker 1: am I chatting with the starting running back?
8:12
Speaker 2: I you know, I I'm not sold he's going to
8:14
Speaker 2: be the starting running back. I think he's going to
8:16
Speaker 2: get lots of playing time.
8:17
Speaker 3: I think he's.
8:18
Speaker 2: He's definitely gonna get, you know, looks in pass pro,
8:23
Speaker 2: but also as a receiver out of the backfield. That's
8:25
Speaker 2: where he really excels is out in space and and
8:28
Speaker 2: make him plays with the ball in the air and everything.
8:31
Speaker 2: But you know, I think Quaid cars Is is the guy.
8:35
Speaker 2: As long as Quaid car is healthy and he and
8:38
Speaker 2: he picks things up like we like, he looks like
8:40
Speaker 2: he has been I think Quaid car is probably your starter.
8:43
Speaker 2: When Washington takes the field against Washington.
8:45
Speaker 1: State other freshmen another freshman man, well that's second your
8:50
Speaker 1: player freshman. But yeah, yeah, Uh what is the most
8:55
Speaker 1: interesting camp battle out there? Position battle, the fierce just
9:00
Speaker 1: one that's going on right now?
9:02
Speaker 3: Wow?
9:02
Speaker 2: That I think you could do that about a couple spots,
9:05
Speaker 2: but I'd say it right guard. If Garons ever ever
9:09
Speaker 2: able to get back on the field, I think that's one.
9:12
Speaker 3: And then uh, you know with.
9:14
Speaker 2: With Champ tell Alao, which we already kind of talked about,
9:16
Speaker 2: but I think out at that receiver spot is really interesting.
9:20
Speaker 2: You've got Christian Moss who came over from Knasas State,
9:23
Speaker 2: but he signed with Virginia Tech coming out of high
9:26
Speaker 2: school and just wasn't able to get on the field,
9:28
Speaker 2: was a little homesick, went home. Had had a couple breakout.
9:32
Speaker 4: Seasons at Kennasas State.
9:34
Speaker 2: Granted not the not the highest level that you're playing at,
9:37
Speaker 2: but they are a Sun Belt team, and so he
9:40
Speaker 2: comes and he's got one year left.
9:41
Speaker 4: He decides to come up to Washington and.
9:43
Speaker 2: Play big tim ball, and the coaches are really excited
9:46
Speaker 2: about getting him in this program. He's not a guy
9:48
Speaker 2: who's going to take the top off the defense or
9:51
Speaker 2: anything like that, but he's going to be that short intermediate,
9:54
Speaker 2: a guy who can who can catch the ball and
9:56
Speaker 2: do something with it once he's got the ball in
9:58
Speaker 2: his hands, but also muscle up some defensive backs and
10:02
Speaker 2: make some plays in the intermediate passing game, going up
10:05
Speaker 2: and getting the ball in the air. Then you got
10:07
Speaker 2: Rashid Williams, who I think, as long as he stays healthy,
10:10
Speaker 2: and that's always been the big question with him, as
10:12
Speaker 2: long as he's healthy, I think that's really going to
10:14
Speaker 2: be a guy who could break out and have a
10:19
Speaker 2: Denzel Boston like impact on things for Washington. And then
10:25
Speaker 2: but then behind them, you've got Chris Lawson. You've got
10:28
Speaker 2: Jordan Clay, who's a supremely talented first year player, Jordan
10:33
Speaker 2: Clay out of Texas six to two hundred and.
10:35
Speaker 3: Five pounds, somewhere in that range.
10:37
Speaker 2: Then you got Trees Davis, who's kind of a speedster
10:41
Speaker 2: he's out of Louisiana. He's another first year player and
10:44
Speaker 2: he's a guy that the coaches love and they think
10:47
Speaker 2: he can be really special. He just needs to pick
10:49
Speaker 2: things up quickly, and we could see a.
10:52
Speaker 3: Lot of him.
10:53
Speaker 2: So that battle for reps at the X and the
10:56
Speaker 2: and the Z wide receiver spots is going to be
10:58
Speaker 2: really interesting.
10:59
Speaker 4: Then deep offensively, I think it's really the edge spots.
11:02
Speaker 2: Because you've got Ramsack Frun who the coaches are really
11:05
Speaker 2: excited about. He's a first year player. You've got Jacob
11:08
Speaker 2: Laane who's a returning starter. I think he's kind of
11:10
Speaker 2: locked in it as one of the starters. But that
11:13
Speaker 2: the other side Ramzack Prune, you got Russell Davis who's
11:16
Speaker 2: a great pass rusher, just hasn't been able to stay
11:18
Speaker 2: healthy the last two years.
11:20
Speaker 3: You've got Rashaw Isaiah Ward who's.
11:23
Speaker 4: Really good and he's another one who.
11:26
Speaker 3: Could be a really good guy. Then you got Devin.
11:30
Speaker 2: Hyde who is big and physical. You've got Victor Sanchez
11:33
Speaker 2: Hernandez who's another big, physical guy that would kind of
11:36
Speaker 2: those guys have kind of both behind Jacob Lane. But
11:41
Speaker 2: then you've got Logan George who's the guy who comes
11:44
Speaker 2: over from Ohio State. Was that Idaho State led the
11:46
Speaker 2: country or the scs the entire country in tackles for loss,
11:52
Speaker 2: goes to Ohio State, is injured most of the season,
11:55
Speaker 2: so doesn't play much, and then decides he wants to
11:58
Speaker 2: come back to the West Coast. Comes to the West Coast,
12:01
Speaker 2: and now he missed most of springball because he was
12:04
Speaker 2: still rehabbing from his energy injury.
12:06
Speaker 4: But the coaches think.
12:08
Speaker 2: That he's got a chance to be a starter opposite
12:10
Speaker 2: Jacob Lane. So lots of different moving parts there, and
12:14
Speaker 2: that's one that we've really got our eyes on.
12:16
Speaker 1: The outstanding Scott Ecklund is with this, he want to
12:19
Speaker 1: follow him do so at Scott e k l u
12:21
Speaker 1: n D. He's going to give you, along with this
12:24
Speaker 1: dog man cole Horts, the best Huskies coverage out there,
12:29
Speaker 1: along with us of course here on the flagship. But
12:32
Speaker 1: of course you hear Scott a lot on the flagship
12:34
Speaker 1: here to talk some Dogs football, and he's our eyes
12:37
Speaker 1: and ears right now at Husky's camp. So we're leaning
12:40
Speaker 1: into it here today. I do want to talk about
12:42
Speaker 1: the defense to close out, but I can't have you
12:46
Speaker 1: on and not ask about the quarterback room, and I'll
12:49
Speaker 1: ask you about both of them, both Demon Williams Junior
12:52
Speaker 1: and Elijah Brown. How are they looking at the camp
12:54
Speaker 1: so far?
12:56
Speaker 2: Demond has had his moments. He's had his moments and brilliance.
13:00
Speaker 2: He's had his moments.
13:01
Speaker 3: Where you just go ooh, that wasn't a great decision.
13:03
Speaker 2: But he's just still still kind of easing his way
13:06
Speaker 2: into things. I will say this, and I'm not comparing
13:10
Speaker 2: him to Michael Pennix, but Michael Pennix's first camp at Washington,
13:13
Speaker 2: granted he had played three or four years, but his
13:16
Speaker 2: first camp at Washington was not good. We all looked
13:20
Speaker 2: at him and just goes, this guy was like a
13:23
Speaker 2: big time guy. What's going on? And then he comes
13:25
Speaker 2: in and he's kind of a gamer, right.
13:28
Speaker 3: So I'm not ready to throw out the.
13:30
Speaker 2: Baby with the bathwater kind of thing, you know, where
13:32
Speaker 2: you're just like, oh, it's the season's over with Demon
13:35
Speaker 2: stinks all this.
13:36
Speaker 4: I just think he's kind of working on some different things,
13:39
Speaker 4: getting used to.
13:40
Speaker 3: Some new receivers.
13:41
Speaker 2: That's always you know, you talk to any quarterback getting
13:44
Speaker 2: used to new receivers and what they like and what
13:45
Speaker 2: they run best and where to throw the ball best
13:48
Speaker 2: for him is something that you always have to get
13:50
Speaker 2: used to and everything like that. So I think he's
13:54
Speaker 2: gonna be fine. But demand has been been great at
13:57
Speaker 2: times and he's had some times where you're a little question.
14:00
Speaker 2: Elijah Brown has been nothing but good compared to what
14:04
Speaker 2: we saw in the spring. The spring, he just did
14:06
Speaker 2: not look comfortable, looked like he was pressing. He looked
14:10
Speaker 2: like he he was still learning the offense, which guess
14:12
Speaker 2: what he was, He was just running the offense. So
14:15
Speaker 2: now that it looks like he feels a little lot
14:17
Speaker 2: more comfortable with the playbook where guys should be, he
14:20
Speaker 2: looks much more comfortable and is making some much better
14:23
Speaker 2: reads and much quicker reads.
14:25
Speaker 3: I you know, have made no bones about my man
14:28
Speaker 3: crush on Trustan Keena McMillan. I love that kid.
14:32
Speaker 4: He was the Hawaii played Oppositive Player.
14:34
Speaker 3: Of the Year.
14:36
Speaker 2: I think Gatorade State Player of the Year when his
14:39
Speaker 2: his junior year when he led Mililauney to a state title.
14:42
Speaker 2: And he's he's a guy who I think could be really,
14:46
Speaker 2: really good, but he just hasn't had the opportunity to
14:50
Speaker 2: really get in there and make the reads at the
14:53
Speaker 2: speed at game speed, and so I think he and
14:57
Speaker 2: Elijah Brown are going to battle things out. But right now,
14:59
Speaker 2: Elijah Brown is your second string guy.
15:02
Speaker 1: Hey, by license you brought him up. I think the
15:04
Speaker 1: Falcons ought to be made aware that Michael Pennix Junior
15:07
Speaker 1: is a gamer and not to judge him on practice.
15:10
Speaker 2: Maybe that's something he's not even practicing right now.
15:13
Speaker 3: Is he banged right now?
15:16
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be the preseason, He's not gonna end
15:19
Speaker 1: up starting.
15:19
Speaker 3: And the.
15:22
Speaker 1: Scott Ecklin with us here on the morning program Sports
15:25
Speaker 1: Radio ninety three point three K A R F M.
15:27
Speaker 1: I'm gonna close with this because it seems like when
15:30
Speaker 1: I talked to Huskies people, there's this feeling that maybe
15:36
Speaker 1: one of the talks of the season offseason is the
15:39
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator a coach, Ryan Walters, and that maybe he's
15:45
Speaker 1: got a few tricks up his sleeve as he unveils
15:48
Speaker 1: more of his defense here. The longer he stays in
15:52
Speaker 1: this program, what's your read on whether or not we
15:55
Speaker 1: have a coaching star possibly lying beneath the surface.
16:01
Speaker 2: Oh, I think there's no doubt about the fact that
16:03
Speaker 2: Ryan Walters, as long as he's a coordinator, is an
16:07
Speaker 2: as a coaching star. You know, I think him as
16:09
Speaker 2: a head coach somewhere is still kind of up for debating,
16:13
Speaker 2: up in the air. But as a coordinator, there's no
16:15
Speaker 2: question that he's in the top two or three defensive
16:18
Speaker 2: coordinators in the entire country. You know, you talk about
16:21
Speaker 2: a guy who's.
16:22
Speaker 4: I mean, his his first year at Illinois.
16:24
Speaker 2: Was good, his second year was outstanding, and the Seahawks
16:29
Speaker 2: are benefiting from one of.
16:30
Speaker 3: The guys he helped develop during.
16:31
Speaker 2: That time in Devin Weatherspoon. So you know, he's he's
16:36
Speaker 2: a guy who can do a lot of different things
16:37
Speaker 2: for you. He'll scheme things up, he'll he'll he The
16:40
Speaker 2: one thing that the players have all said is he
16:42
Speaker 2: simplifies things and makes it so we're not thinking too much.
16:46
Speaker 2: When Steve Belichick was here, he was fine. It wasn't
16:49
Speaker 2: anything special, but he was coaching. He was coaching a
16:54
Speaker 2: pro defense and expecting players who also have to go
16:58
Speaker 2: to class and study, to be in their playbook so
17:03
Speaker 2: much that they pick up a pro playbook within three months.
17:07
Speaker 3: And it's just it's not that easy to do.
17:10
Speaker 2: So I think one of the things that that Ryan
17:13
Speaker 2: Walters understands.
17:14
Speaker 3: Is, Hey, this is college. These kids have other things
17:17
Speaker 3: on their mind besides playing football.
17:19
Speaker 4: As much as we as fans want to think.
17:21
Speaker 2: That they're only there to play football and with the NIL,
17:24
Speaker 2: a lot of people think that's all they're do nowadays.
17:27
Speaker 4: But but you know.
17:29
Speaker 3: These guys have a lot more on their minds, and.
17:30
Speaker 4: So Ryan Walters simplifies things.
17:33
Speaker 2: He makes quick, easy reads for these guys and then
17:36
Speaker 2: they can go use their speed and athleticism, which Washington
17:39
Speaker 2: has an abundance of.
17:40
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's close this out by promoting some
17:43
Speaker 1: dog man stuff. What do our listeners need to know

19:19
Speaker 1: They live for it, they eat it, they drink it,
19:22

19:26
Speaker 1: we appreciate Scott being our eyes and ears at camp
19:29
Speaker 1: next week, we're gonna put our own eyes and ears
19:32
Speaker 1: on the project. So looking forward to that out at
19:35
Speaker 1: Husky's Camp coming up next spigging of training camp. Seahawks
19:38
Speaker 1: training camp continues and this Saturday camp Battle takes on
19:43
Speaker 1: a whole new perspective. We'll actually be able to get
19:46
Speaker 1: a lot of information about what goes down on Saturday
19:49
Speaker 1: against the Dallas Cowboys. So a camp battle's next on
19:53
Speaker 1: KJAR on this Thursday. We don't need another hero, We
19:57
Speaker 1: just need some answers to all of our camp battle questions.
20:01
Speaker 1: So Tina Turner's right, She's known all along. We just
20:05
Speaker 1: need people to enter Thunderdome and for to enter want
20:10
Speaker 1: to leave. That's the way it works. And so you know,
20:13
Speaker 1: it's crazy every time I hear Tina Turner played, I
20:17
Speaker 1: there's some about music that like sucks you back to
20:21
Speaker 1: some play, some specific moment in your life. And I
20:24
Speaker 1: don't even know why I'm sharing this with you, but
20:27
Speaker 1: that song, for whatever reason, I was driving to a
20:34
Speaker 1: Legion baseball game when I was a kid and that
20:37
Speaker 1: song was really popular and I was in the back
20:39
Speaker 1: seat of the Boozes. That's right. Their last name was
20:44
Speaker 1: Booze and they were driving me because my parents couldn't
20:48
Speaker 1: go to that particular game. So they're driving me to
20:52
Speaker 1: our baseball game. And so my friend and actually second cousin,
20:59
Speaker 1: Matt and I Matt Booze, we're in the back and
21:02
Speaker 1: his parents are in the front, and we spent almost
21:04
Speaker 1: the entire drive to our baseball game trying to convince
21:09
Speaker 1: the Boozes that the greatest song ever made was Sweet
21:15
Speaker 1: Child of Mine by Guns n' Roses. And if they
21:20
Speaker 1: didn't think that way, they were old. So that's how
21:23
Speaker 1: we spent the entire car ride. But this song came
21:27
Speaker 1: on in the middle of that car ride, Tina Turner,
21:31
Speaker 1: because it was wildly popular at that time, and for
21:34
Speaker 1: some reason, every time I hear that song, I am
21:39
Speaker 1: zoomed back to that car with Matt Booze in the background,
21:44
Speaker 1: arguing with Kathy and Terry over what great music was?
21:48
Speaker 1: Is that not strange? Does that not tell you the
21:50
Speaker 1: power of music right there that it can take? Why
21:54
Speaker 1: does that even a memory for me period, much less
21:57
Speaker 1: one that can be triggered? And it's not even the
22:00
Speaker 1: long we were arguing about. The song we were arguing
22:02
Speaker 1: about was a Sweet Child of Mind by Guns n' roses,
22:05
Speaker 1: and yet that it's that song that's the one that
22:11
Speaker 1: zooms me back because I vividly remember it playing in
22:14
Speaker 1: that car in the car while we were arguing about that.
22:17
Speaker 1: Is that not crazy how the human mind works?
22:20
Speaker 5: Very very crazy? Yes, I would agree.
22:23
Speaker 1: Eh I like to study that, like for somebody to
22:26
Speaker 1: study my brain and why that would happen. But that's
22:31
Speaker 1: the power of music right there. Smells do that to
22:33
Speaker 1: me too. I can smell something and it can remind
22:37
Speaker 1: me of a specific moment in my life that was
22:39
Speaker 1: not even a memory until that smell entered my brain.
22:42
Speaker 1: Does that happen to you, Ashley?
22:43
Speaker 6: Uh?
22:44
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're in You're instantly transported back somewhere.
22:47
Speaker 5: You're like, wait, what, Like, I'll tell you what does
22:50
Speaker 5: it for me?
22:50
Speaker 7: Nivia elocean always makes me think of my grandmother, so
22:52
Speaker 7: I always think of being in her house.
22:54
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what it is. More so, Yeah, because it
22:57
Speaker 1: does the same thing like a perfume can take you
23:00
Speaker 1: back to a girlfriend that you may not have even
23:02
Speaker 1: thought about in a while. But but but I can
23:05
Speaker 1: just like smell manure, not kidding it because I grew
23:09
Speaker 1: out on a farm and there could be like a
23:11
Speaker 1: combination of the smell of manure combined with what the
23:16
Speaker 1: weather is like that day, and whatever that creates can
23:19
Speaker 1: zoom me back into a moment in my childhood.
23:24
Speaker 5: I can't help you with the poop smell.
23:27
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, Ashley, I don't want your help
23:30
Speaker 1: with poop. Okay, nobody asked you to help me with poop, Ashley.
23:38
Speaker 5: Thank god, it's not in my job description. And I've looked.
23:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just took it the wrong way here. You
23:45
Speaker 1: thought here, you thought you had to rally to my
23:47
Speaker 1: side and help me with poop. I'm gonna go to
23:51
Speaker 1: the boss like you thought you could help me with poop.
23:55
Speaker 5: What is happening?
23:57
Speaker 1: Hey, if he's listening right now, that's what he's saying.
24:00
Speaker 1: All right, it's time for a camp battle. So the
24:03
Speaker 1: running back position, let's face it, that's been I mean,
24:06
Speaker 1: I've done what five or six camp battle segments during
24:10
Speaker 1: training camp. That's not unusual. What is unusual is that
24:14
Speaker 1: four of the six have been about the running back position.
24:16
Speaker 1: Because we just keep getting more information and frankly, from
24:19
Speaker 1: at least a fantasy football standpoint, it might be as
24:24
Speaker 1: interesting a camp battle the running back position for the
24:26
Speaker 1: Seahawks as any because people are wandering across the country,
24:30
Speaker 1: not just Seahawk fans. How are you going to divvy
24:32
Speaker 1: up these carries? Who's gonna end up being the running back? Well,
24:35
Speaker 1: we should get some more information along those lines this Saturday,
24:40
Speaker 1: and if nothing else, just to eliminate a couple of
24:43
Speaker 1: people maybe from the conversation of who's going to get carries.
24:46
Speaker 1: But Jadarian Price's health has been a topic of conversation
24:51
Speaker 1: this week. He's missed some practices, and you do wonder
24:54
Speaker 1: because he was probably the guy your eyes were gonna
24:56
Speaker 1: be drawn to in the first preseason game. If he's
24:59
Speaker 1: even going to be available to get his first carries
25:02
Speaker 1: as a Seahawk. Well, we asked Greg Bell at seven
25:05
Speaker 1: five give us an update on Jedarian Price and how
25:08
Speaker 1: he may or may not be used on Saturday.
25:11
Speaker 6: Well, his younger starters typically played last year when he
25:14
Speaker 6: was trying to get the offensive line cohesive, they played
25:18
Speaker 6: longer than the other starters. But now their five are
25:21
Speaker 6: all returning back, so I can't imagine they're going to play.
25:24
Speaker 6: Gray's Abel, for instance, isn't a rookie anymore. He doesn't
25:27
Speaker 6: need to play, but a guy like Jenering Price, lead
25:30
Speaker 6: running back, a rookie first round Picky returned to practice yesterday.
25:34
Speaker 6: I mean it was a walk through in every sense
25:36
Speaker 6: of the word. No running at all, complete walking. It
25:39
Speaker 6: was the act practice alignment communication technique. McDonald just wants
25:43
Speaker 6: him to do it right slowly, then to move and
25:47
Speaker 6: do anything physical. So that's what yesterday's practice was. In
25:49
Speaker 6: bucket hats, t shirts. Jenerian Price was back. He had
25:53
Speaker 6: missed four practices with the upper leg soreness that McDonald's
25:58
Speaker 6: turned to like an NHL coach. But I would see
26:02
Speaker 6: I could see him, for instance, being a starter who
26:05
Speaker 6: would play more than the other starters because he needs
26:08
Speaker 6: the reps and he needs to catch the ball in
26:10
Speaker 6: the NFL and he's to do some pass walking and
26:12
Speaker 6: all of that. That might be a one off of
26:15
Speaker 6: the front liner that could play Saturday night.
26:20
Speaker 1: And as much as we've talked about it, I mean
26:22
Speaker 1: is that the thing is that the most interesting thing
26:25
Speaker 1: is to see the running back room showcased on Saturday
26:31
Speaker 1: and see who does step up, who does get the reps,
26:34
Speaker 1: and who does actually perform well. Is that going to
26:37
Speaker 1: be the most interesting thing from a Seahawks fans perspective
26:40
Speaker 1: on Saturday.
26:42
Speaker 6: I think it'd be the one they notice the most
26:43
Speaker 6: because you'll see the carries. They'll get the Tremaine Pope
26:47
Speaker 6: syndrome of a guy who might run for one hundred
26:49
Speaker 6: yards in a preseason game, and why isn't he making
26:51
Speaker 6: the team. Well, he's gonna run for one hundred yards
26:53
Speaker 6: to get because they're gonna get all the carries, because
26:55
Speaker 6: then the guys are gonna play are gonna get the carries.
26:59
Speaker 6: Emmanuel Wilson, a guy who was making a move to
27:01
Speaker 6: get more time with the starting offense, was carving out
27:04
Speaker 6: a role as a bigger, more physical third down back,
27:08
Speaker 6: and then he pulled up limp and grabbing his upper
27:11
Speaker 6: leg in practice two days ago and wasn't even doing
27:14
Speaker 6: the walk through yesterday, so now he may not play.
27:18
Speaker 6: Jaccardia Wright was trying to make a move and he's
27:20
Speaker 6: been around camp for a couple of years now, practice
27:23
Speaker 6: squad player for the Seahawks last year. He had a
27:25
Speaker 6: lower leg injury last week and hasn't practiced since. So
27:30
Speaker 6: Vellas Jones was a wide receiver to start this training camp.
27:34
Speaker 6: He was a running back in the practice squad last year.
27:37
Speaker 6: He was a wide moved to wide receiver to start camp,
27:39
Speaker 6: but they moved me back to running back because of
27:41
Speaker 6: all the injuries and guys not available. So it could
27:44
Speaker 6: be Vellas Jones, it could be guys they just signed
27:48
Speaker 6: here in the last week. TJ. Harden could end up Monday,
27:52
Speaker 6: we may be talking about TJ. Harden running for eighty
27:55
Speaker 6: yards in the preseason game because he'll be one of
27:57
Speaker 6: the only ones available.
28:00
Speaker 1: Greg Bell with us earlier this show seven oh five.
28:03
Speaker 1: You want to hear the entire conversation, including an update
28:06
Speaker 1: on Nick emn Warr and many other things, go to
28:09
Speaker 1: ninety three to three KJR dot com, tap in it
28:12
Speaker 1: to it on our podcast. You know it's you know,
28:15
Speaker 1: the National Football League always is adjusting its rules on
28:18
Speaker 1: the field, off the field, and one of the adjustments
28:21
Speaker 1: that they've made in recent years is that they don't
28:24
Speaker 1: have the series of cuts. If you remember from Pass
28:27
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, you know, there was a moment where there's
28:30
Speaker 1: cut day and then there would be another cut day
28:34
Speaker 1: a little bit later. Well, they pretty much, I mean,
28:36
Speaker 1: sure some guys get released before cut day, but pretty
28:40
Speaker 1: much there's just one day. There's this August thirtieth and
28:44
Speaker 1: that's when you got to have your roster down to
28:46
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster, and so go ahead and
28:51
Speaker 1: circle that. I mean, if you're a Seahawk fan, I mean,
28:55
Speaker 1: John Schneider is always going to work the waiver wire,
28:58
Speaker 1: but maybe more so our starting running back might come
29:02
Speaker 1: out of that. I mean, frankly, I mean, with Zach
29:05
Speaker 1: Charbonnat out for we don't know how long, and if
29:09
Speaker 1: Jadarian Price, you know, we're not sure health wise, and
29:15
Speaker 1: then if they don't want him to necessarily be the
29:18
Speaker 1: bell cow running back. And then if George Hallani and
29:22
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Wilson, who's hurt right now as well, if they
29:26
Speaker 1: just don't if they just don't play well, or if
29:29
Speaker 1: they're not hell I mean, Hugh Millen brought this up
29:32
Speaker 1: at the beginning of training camp, watch out for the
29:34
Speaker 1: running back position. If ever there was a situation where
29:37
Speaker 1: a dark horse could emerge. This might be it where
29:41
Speaker 1: somebody that you don't even have on your radar ends
29:44
Speaker 1: up getting significant playing time this season for the Seahawks.
29:48
Speaker 1: It could be at the running back position well between
29:51
Speaker 1: injuries and we'll see how effective some other guys are
29:56
Speaker 1: going to be from the depth chart. Once preseason begin
30:01
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot to study. You know,
30:04
Speaker 1: I guarantee you that John Schneider in a way, not
30:08
Speaker 1: that he's wishing away the days. They've got a lot
30:10
Speaker 1: of work to do between now and August thirtieth, but
30:12
Speaker 1: I guarantee you he cannot wait to try to pour
30:16
Speaker 1: through and see who's going to become available on the
30:18
Speaker 1: waiver wire and add a running back to this organization,
30:22
Speaker 1: if for no other reason just depth. Maybe he does
30:25
Speaker 1: have the right combination of guys already here. Maybe he
30:29
Speaker 1: does have the depth chart that is required to sustain
30:32
Speaker 1: the running game until Zach Charbonay is healthy and ready
30:36
Speaker 1: to be added to it. But my guess is I'm
30:40
Speaker 1: betting that he cannot wait, from the running back perspective
30:45
Speaker 1: for August thirtieth to get a group of running backs
30:49
Speaker 1: that have been released from other teams and try to
30:51
Speaker 1: find the gem and the bunch, try to find his
30:54
Speaker 1: favorite guy to add to this room before the season
30:58
Speaker 1: gets underway. That's my I guess. I don't think that
31:01
Speaker 1: this running back room is done by a long shot
31:04
Speaker 1: evolving this year, not just to figure out the depth
31:07
Speaker 1: chart and how we divide up the carries but I
31:11
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have another face or two added to
31:14
Speaker 1: this group, one before the season gets underway. And my
31:18
Speaker 1: guess is Ashley at some point during the season.
31:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, and he is.
31:22
Speaker 7: I think Schneider and McDonald are both kind of perfectionists.
31:24
Speaker 7: They've got to have the right field, they've got to
31:26
Speaker 7: have the right pieces, and they know what they want.
31:28
Speaker 7: And I wouldn't be surprised to see more tinkering. I
31:31
Speaker 7: kind of kind of like picture that John Schneider up
31:34
Speaker 7: in the office of like his little chess pieces and
31:36
Speaker 7: being like, no, this one here, No, I want it
31:38
Speaker 7: over here.
31:38
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I will.
31:40
Speaker 1: Oh he's gonna tinker. Yeah. Oh he's a tinkerer, he is. Yeah,
31:45
Speaker 1: he's a little tinker. He's not done. He's always tinkering.
31:52
Speaker 1: But this running back thing might take a little more
31:54
Speaker 1: than a tinker. We'll see. Yeah, if there's jadarium Price
31:57
Speaker 1: injury at all, I mean, really, you're gonna start World
32:00
Speaker 1: Champ's gonna start the season. George Hallani and j Cardian
32:04
Speaker 1: Wright gonna be your running backs. I don't know. I
32:06
Speaker 1: don't know if he's gonna be able to live with that,
32:08
Speaker 1: But you know, we got a long way to go
32:10
Speaker 1: before the start of the season. You never know what
32:13
Speaker 1: might happen. All Right, we close out this Thursday show
32:16
Speaker 1: with one last thing next on Sports Radio ninety three
32:18

Speaker 1: the thing that I haven't done though with the Tlala
33:03
Speaker 1: Resort Casino. And this is where you can really take
33:05
Speaker 1: advantage when all you want is everything. This is where
33:08
Speaker 1: you can really take advantage of that motto and I

Speaker 1: haven't done it yet, but I'm going to do it.
33:13
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it very soon. I want to stay

33:23
Speaker 1: I gotta just book it a Friday and a Saturday
33:26
Speaker 1: night and just settle into the whole experience, even if
33:30
Speaker 1: it's just a Friday night. Maybe you want to do
33:31
Speaker 1: that as well, and just take advantage of the gaming
33:35
Speaker 1: room floor. You can knock out three or four of
33:38
Speaker 1: those restaurants over the course of a couple of days.
33:40
Speaker 1: Maybe you align it with the summer concert series, take
33:43
Speaker 1: in a show at the Amphitheater. But what a just
33:46
Speaker 1: an amazing place to just stretch your legs, just spend
33:50
Speaker 1: some time. Don't be in a hurry to get back home.
33:53
Speaker 1: Take us sleep, you know, take your sleepy pants and
33:57
Speaker 1: go to Tlala p Resort Casino and just decide to
34:01
Speaker 1: just lock it in for forty eight hours and have
34:04
Speaker 1: a getaway. That's what I can't wait to do at
34:07
Speaker 1: t Lala Presort Casino. Everything to Leylap dot com. Now

Speaker 1: that sound good?
34:12
Speaker 7: Yeah, And if they don't make take your sleepy pants
34:14
Speaker 7: to Tulala persort because you know their new model, then
34:17
Speaker 7: they're missing out.
34:18
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna tell you right now.
34:20
Speaker 1: I do like it when it gets cold enough that
34:22
Speaker 1: I got to wear my sleepy pants. Most of the time,
34:24
Speaker 1: I just wear like shorts and underwear realm, but but
34:29
Speaker 1: that's usually the bedwear. But I like when it's so
34:32
Speaker 1: cold you gotta wear sleepy pants.
34:34
Speaker 7: I agree, sleepy pants are the best I see it.
34:37
Speaker 1: And then in a hotel you can just crank it down,
34:39
Speaker 1: you know, you know, make it forty three degrees in
34:41
Speaker 1: the room if you want. Yeah, I think of sleepy
34:43
Speaker 1: pants your ass off.
34:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Who doesn't love that.
34:50
Speaker 1: There have been about seven conversations today that I can tell.
34:52
Speaker 1: Ashley's like, I don't know where to take this.
34:55
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know that.
34:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I the one that watched the managers.
35:00
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm not innocent in this situation by any means.
35:05
Speaker 1: So all, yeah, we're good. What do you got for
35:08
Speaker 1: one last thing?
35:10
Speaker 7: Well, you know, we were talking about sleeping in the
35:12
Speaker 7: mirror in my bed or laying in my bed to
35:14
Speaker 7: watch Mariners games. And I did have quite a few
35:15
Speaker 7: conversations with people yesterday who were like, just let it go.
35:18
Speaker 5: It's over.
35:19
Speaker 7: Why, Like, give me reasons why you believe this team
35:22
Speaker 7: can do it? And I was, And these are from
35:24
Speaker 7: people who say they listen to our show. I'm like,
35:26
Speaker 7: you clearly don't listen to the show if I have
35:28
Speaker 7: to give you reasons. Yeah, why I think this team
35:30
Speaker 7: can do it? Because I don't know. I've said it
35:33
Speaker 7: a million times. I just want to believe they can
35:36
Speaker 7: do it. I have no idea where the spark is
35:38
Speaker 7: going to come from. I wish I knew where the
35:40
Speaker 7: spark was gonna come from. I'm just holding out hope
35:45
Speaker 7: that they find it somewhere. I don't know where it's
35:46
Speaker 7: going to come from. I don't know who's going to
35:48
Speaker 7: provide it. I don't know if they're going to provide it.
35:51
Speaker 7: But I'm not going to give up.
35:52
Speaker 5: That's it.
35:53
Speaker 7: That's the end of the story.
35:54
Speaker 1: Well, there's plenty of evidence out there. Number one, there
35:56
Speaker 1: are plenty of stories where teams have overcome larger deficits, Yeah,
36:00
Speaker 1: with shorter amount of time, including this organization. So that's
36:04
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, the Detroit Tigers of twenty twenty four,
36:09
Speaker 1: who were a bad team that sold at the trading deadline,
36:14
Speaker 1: and for still reasons unknown, demand went on a tear
36:19
Speaker 1: in the second half and made the playoffs. They beat
36:22
Speaker 1: out the Mariners by a game after they were bad
36:25
Speaker 1: and sold off they're three or four of their best players.
36:29
Speaker 1: And then you've got the story of the Kansas City Royals,
36:32
Speaker 1: whose championship with Eric Hosmer was one when they had
36:38
Speaker 1: decided they not only decided that our season was over,
36:42
Speaker 1: but they were about ready to trade off Eric Hosmer
36:46
Speaker 1: and Oh Mustakis and all the guys that they were
36:51
Speaker 1: sure they were building a championship foundation around. But they
36:55
Speaker 1: had reached the point where like this, this group's really
36:58
Speaker 1: not going to come together, are they, And we're ready
37:01
Speaker 1: to start trading off pieces. And they decided not to
37:04
Speaker 1: sell to the trading deadline. And they went to two
37:06
Speaker 1: World Series and one one of them with that group.
37:09
Speaker 1: So there are plenty of reasons to stay optimistic. Now
37:12
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that I think it is over. I do,
37:16
Speaker 1: But Ashley, I say stay optimistic, because of course it
37:20
Speaker 1: can happen. We just need to see the team play
37:23
Speaker 1: a lot better than they've played all year long, much
37:26
Speaker 1: less recently.
37:27
Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, and yes, and I recognize it's a long shot.
37:31
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not some delusional person who can't figure
37:34
Speaker 7: this out. I understand all of it. But for some reason,
37:38
Speaker 7: this is me and it has been my whole life
37:40
Speaker 7: as a Mariners fan. And you know, we get a
37:41
Speaker 7: lot of people that are like, well, I've been a
37:43
Speaker 7: Mariner's fan this, I promise you.
37:45
Speaker 5: I've been a Maritor's fan my whole life.
37:46
Speaker 7: I understand how this team works, I understand the frustrations,
37:49
Speaker 7: I understand the joy when they deliver.
37:51
Speaker 5: I'm just hoping for that.
37:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, stick with it. I'm not giving up. I'm just
37:55
Speaker 1: telling you, it just feels my prediction is like it
37:58
Speaker 1: does feel like they're not going to be a to
38:00
Speaker 1: pull this off, and it's sad because of how good
38:02
Speaker 1: they should have been this year. Yeah, but no, I'm
38:06
Speaker 1: not giving up either. That's just my analytical side of
38:11
Speaker 1: me saying probably, it's just it's not gonna happen. But yeah,
38:15
Speaker 1: as a team that roots, as a person roots for
38:17
Speaker 1: the team, I'm not giving up either. So you stick
38:19
Speaker 1: with it. I will lay in bed for the rest
38:21
Speaker 1: of the season. Okay, all right, all right, I'm just
38:24
Speaker 1: gonna my one last thing will just be the sleepy
38:26
Speaker 1: fants thing. That's where we're gonna go with because we
38:28
Speaker 1: got to get out of here. Greg bell Is next
