  Speaker 3: Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Powell. It's
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: a pleasure to have you with us here on this Friday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. We'll take it
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: till ten o'clock this morning, and of course this week,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: we launched our Draftmas Celebration home, with the Draftmas season
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: starting on Wednesday and taking you all the way through
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the NFL Draft April twenty third, twenty fourth, twenty fifth,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and then a recap on the twenty seventh. So we've
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: gotten you ready, We got your taste buds going for
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: a little Draftmas flavor and yo, look, look, look, look,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you right off the bat here.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not I know not everybody's into the NFL Draft,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and I know that even fewer people are into Draftmas. Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: but and so I'm not gonna lead with the draft
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: every single day. Don't worry about that if you're you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: oh why are we talking? Mariners? JP got activated. We'll
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: get to that. But but today I am going three
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: days in a row with it because this is the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: only place I can put the Draftmas Catalog. Today, I'll
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: tell you more about that. What's on tap Draftmaus Catalog
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: is a segment that is a staple of the Draftmas celebration, uh,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and it takes a little bit to get through. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: so we've got these big fat segments at the top
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: of every single hour and the rest of the hours
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: are filled, and I thought, hey, you know something, the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: six o'clock audience never gets a draft miss catalog, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: so that's what we're gonna do today to start the show.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: So we had to start with the NFL Draft. And
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I know they're draft miss people out there that are
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: happy we're doing it. I'm talking to you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's probably a lot of Elmer Elmer.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Connie.
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: Oh, Connie does love drafting Dexter. He likes to make cookies.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So that's the way we begin here on a Friday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: We got a lot of other things planned for you today.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Ashley Ryan is here. My name is Chuck Pyle, No,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Bucky Jacobson again today. Have you noticed like a I mean,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: they're a radio person cannot take like a day off
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: or a week off without the entire world wondering something's
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: horribly wrong. Have you noticed that? Oh yeah, like seven people. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: he took some time off.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: Yes, but yeah, no, it's that's what you have to
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: always say, like like acknowledge that they are a human.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: And because you know, in radio so many times people
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: just disappear.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Right, he's not disappeared.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I guess that's the case, but it kind of felt
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to me like, you know, more people were worried, like
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: there's something deeply physically wrong with Buck. Am I we
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: we know we are entitled to some time off. So anyway, Yeah,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Bucky is not with us here again today, so don't
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: fret though. He's fine.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: He said he's getting lots of sleep, which I'm jealous.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Well, all right, so here's how the Draftmas
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: catalog works. I get the Draftmas catalog dropped off at
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: my front door because I'm father Draftmas. And then what
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: we do in this process is every other day during
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the Draftmas holiday, I isolate one position that is available
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: for drafting. And obviously we can't go through every single player.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: That would take way too long of a segment. But
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I do try to give you a little sample of
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: like a first round value guy, and a second round
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: value guy, and a third round value guy, and a
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Day three value guy, and then at the tail end
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: somebody that John just might take a flyer on in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the seventh round. And so that's the way the Draftman's
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: catalog works. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna detail
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a few different edge rushers. That's the position that we're
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: going with today, and you know what they say about
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: edge rushers, You can't have enough of them. John's always
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: looking for one, and in this particular season, I think
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: this is a real strong candidate to be used early
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: in the draft. John using one of his early picks,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: whether that ends up being thirty second or if he
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: trades down into the second round, I think I don't
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: think any of us can be surprised if the first
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: player he takes in this draft is an edge rusher.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Running Back seems like the most obvious need. Cornerback might
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: seem like a more obvious need, and yet edge rusher.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You've got Boye Mafe off of the roster right now.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You also have DeMarcus Lawrence, who, let's face it, if
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: he's kind of kicking around the retirement idea, then even
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: if you don't have to replace him this year, you
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: might need a long term replacement. You might be looking
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: two years down the road, somebody that gives you depth
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: right now but eventually plays the DeMarcus Lawrence, Roll and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: chennan Uosu. Let's face it, that's no spring chicken either.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: With his injury history, He's even older than his age
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: might indicate. So edge rusher certainly, I think is prominent
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: on the list. For John and Mike, I think they
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: will come away with an edge rusher in the draft
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: this year. And I will say this, most of the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: experts out there are saying this edge class is the
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: best group. Like left tackles good or tackles just in
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: general good very good. In this draft, edge rusher is
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: apparently the best group. So even though it's a down
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: year for the NFL draft in terms of talent, almost
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: everybody saying that, those same people are also saying edge
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: rusher is the best group of the entire year of
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: down year of talent in the NFL draft. So what
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do is, I'm gonna go through a few
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: different examples. I guess I have schneider Buck values to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: each of these players that we go through the draft
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Miss catalog with. Ashley listens closely, asks good questions, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: then ultimately she will have to circle one of these
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: players that I mentioned in her draft Miss Catalog, And
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that she's married to that individual player.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: She even has an entire month to change her mind.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the process, once we're closer
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: to the actual draft, Ashley will piece together her wish list,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and she only has seven Schneider Bucks to spend this
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: year because of the lack of draft capital that the
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Seahawks have. Yeah, normally we have twelve. Almost every year
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: we have twelve. This year we only have seven. But
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I have given her a plus one in case she
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: likes someone so much that she'd like to trade up
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and get that person and flip a future draft pick
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: into the pot. So that's the way that it works.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Let's get it started, and we are going to start
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: at the top of the draft, even though there's no
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: chance that John Schneider and Mike McDonald are going to
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: walk away with one of these three guys. I think
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: that I'm short changing a draft fan, not just a
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Seahawk fan, if I don't mention who's at the top
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: of the draft. At each of these positions and the
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: edge position, there are three guys, and they are all
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: over the board in terms of all the different experts
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: that weigh in as to who's the best one. They're
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: put in different order, but there's no doubt there are
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: three guys that are at the top of this list.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Rvel Reese is where we'll start six four to two
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty one pound player out of Ohio State.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you watched any Buckeyes games this year,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: he stood out. I mean it's impossible for that guy
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: not to stand out. Runs a four four six forty
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: at that size coming off the edge. My goodness. NFL
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: dot Com ranks him the number one overall player in
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: the entire draft. He is just twenty years old. So
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: this is somebody that came out of high school at
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: seventeen and made an impact immediately and did not red
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: shirt and now has played three seasons at Ohio State,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and everybody kind of agrees, Yeah, I've seen enough. He's
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: going to go high in the draft. First team All American,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: A stand up outside linebacker, a little undersized, and when
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: you consider maybe Seattle's interest, you know, Mafe was six
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: four to sixty. You know, Nuosu is two sixty. Lawrence
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: is two fifty five, I mean forty. So this is all.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: This is more of your stand up outside linebacker, pure
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: pass rusher type. Because he is a bit vulnerable in
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: run prevention right now, but not altogether vulnerable because I
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: don't remember Ohio State struggling much this year defensively. No
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of course, the Hawks can't get high enough in the
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: draft to take him anyway. But we've got to mention
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: rvel Reese. If we're going to talk about edge rushers
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty six NFL draft. Next one is
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: David Bailey. Same thing, can't get to him. Six four
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: two fifty one out of Texas Tech, ran a four
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: five forty at the NFL Combine. Practically kept Texas Tech
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: in that playoff game with Oregon by himself. I mean,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Oregon was dominating that game and the only thing that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: was keeping Texas Tech alive was that David Bailey was
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: making tackle for loss after tackle for loss in that contest.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: He is, he's an outstanding player. Next Gen says he's
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the best player in the group period and the fifth
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: best athlete in the group period. So I mean he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: bringing it all to the table. Pretty much checks every box.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: He played at Stanford before Texas Tech, so might be
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: a little bit of an intelligence right there, right. And
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: his brother went to Harvard, So the Bailey kids are smart. Yeah,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: they are, Okay. He was a first team All American
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: his one year at Texas Tech. I personally think he's outstanding.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I think he might be the best guy in this
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: class here Jeremiah Love, and he will live in NFL backfields.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: He has been described as the best pass rusher in
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: this draft, but he's also been knocked for his run
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: defense as well, and even more so than Reese and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald wouldn't like that and a defender. He wants
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: them to be able to be excellent and stout at both.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: But then again, Mike McDonald has absolutely no chance at
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: getting David Bailey. He's going to go in the top
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: five of the draft. And then the final one I'll
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: mention is Reuben Bain, junior, six and sixty three pounds
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: out of Miami. Oh yes, no doubt. People want a
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: defensive player named Baine. I will stop the quarter a
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: grow cloof rock. So it didn't work out. He didn't
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: work out at the combine, no doubt, hiding that he's
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: not the athlete. The other two guys I've mentioned are
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: at the top of the draft, but PFF, CBS Sports Crew,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: and NFL Draft Buzz all ranked Bain ahead of Reese
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: and Bailey. They think he's going to be the best
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: of this group. And the reason is he's not just
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a pass rusher, very effective versus the run. You know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald will love that. But there's no chance at
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: getting this guy either. He plays nasty, he plays tough,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: he plays with power, the knocks against him. He's not
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: as good an athlete as the previous two guys that
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I mentioned. And for a defensive end, he has short arms.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I mean the reason that we always measure arm length
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: for left tackles for offensive linemen because it's valuable at
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, and the same thing goes with
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: pass rushers. So he's out there with t rex arms
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: trying to get around you know, some long left tackle
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Charles Cross type. Then maybe he might struggle with that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: But he is undoubtedly a top half of the first
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: round pick and maybe a top ten pick in the
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: NFL draft. And another guy that the Seahawks have no
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: shot at getting. Okay, So now, yeah, and now we
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: can get to some guys they might for three Schneiderbucks,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Keldric Fawk out of Auburn six and seventy six pounds
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: not the production of the first three guys at college,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: but we're finally in the range of a possible Seahawks.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Fawk is believed to be developing into his lengthy frame.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: So another twenty year old who is very long in length.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: He kind of like a big, overgrown, you know, Doberman
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: puppy or something like that, like a German shepherd puppy.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: And he's got incredibly long arms obviously, six six two
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: seventy six. So the knock against him is he's still
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: growing into his body. So if he was a really
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: good player in college and he hasn't quite figured out
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: how to handle all of those long limbs and all
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: of that length, then there is a chance this guy's
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: got a big upside that we've yet to see as
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: a football player. Also, and this is hugely important to
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks. He has been described as a high character guy.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: And if you have not been paying attention, don't worry.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I have been. The Seahawks have definitely leaned into high
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: character guys in the last three years, and I think
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: it's worked because they just won a World championship, so
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: they've turned the page on red flag guys like Malik McDowell.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: They pretty much are only seeking high character guys without
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: sacrificing athleticism and the football traits. Of course, that Mike
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: McDonald desires out of his defenders and offensive players as well.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: So a lot to fix here, but he seems entirely fixable.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: That is an interesting player. He might make it all
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: the way to the end of the first round, and
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I wonder if the Seahawks would be interested. Let's go
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: to the two and a half Schneiderbuck player, and that
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is Zion Young of Missouri. He's a lion named Zion
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Little Bob Marley for you, six two d and sixty
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: two pounds out of Missouri. This just might be the guy. Okay,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the eventual Marcus Lawrence replacement. Tremendous size, tremendous physique, He
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: is muscled, he is Conan the barbarian out there, high
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: energy player, elite run defender, one of the best run
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: defenders in this entire draft. Great motor. Oh, I gotta
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: say it like mel kiper If, I'm gonna say that
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: he's got a great motor. Powerful with as much love
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: for run stuffing as pass rushing, which is kind of
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: rare because sacks get you paid sixteen and a half
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: tackles for loss last year. Six and a half Sacks
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: is a first team All SEC member, lacks great athleticism,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: not like the first three guys or two guys I mentioned.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Lacks great burst, lacks great speed, but Zion Young is
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a very interesting candidate to be taken thirty second overall
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: by the.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Seahawks being able to call him Zion the Lions.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah exactly, Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's the line
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: on name Zion. Yeah. Mike Malachai Lawrence is our next
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: member of the catalog. Two schneiderbucks for a six foot
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: four inch, two hundred and fifty three pound physical freak
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: out of UCF very Bailey like four point five to
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: two forty at the combine a forty inch vertical. I
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: think he can dunk, pretty sure he can dunk with
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: a forty inch vertical at sixty four. Lawrence has some
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: analysts drooling, but he also has just as many who've
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: gone cold on his stock. Seems to be about the
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: big play and maybe he doesn't love doing the little
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: nitty gritty stuff that McDonald will demand of anyone who
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: plays edge for him. He has a lot of moves
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: to get after the quarterback, but how many of them
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: are effective? Maybe doesn't set an edge, which I know
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: that getting after the quarterback is your primary goal, but
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Another major responsibility of an edge rusher is setting the edge,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: and it might not be his strength. I'm gonna get
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: you Malachi Lawrence for two Schneider Bucks, which means he's
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: a second round selection in my book, but there is
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: a chance that some people would be tempted enough to
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: take him in the first round. For one Schneiderbuck, you
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: could have Cayden Curry six two and fifty seven pounds
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: out of Ohio State. If that name rings a Belle,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: well then you're a U dub fan because this dude
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: dominated the Huskies O line this past fall. Well, I
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: still have Kayden Curry nightmares night tares in the middle
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: of the night because of how much he disrupted everything
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Jedfish wanted to do. He beat up a lot of
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: teams this year, though not just the Huskies. He had
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: sixteen and a half tackles for loss and eleven secs.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: So why is he being widely considered nothing more than
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a Day three pick. Well, according to those that I've read,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: apparently his tape doesn't quite match the results. Apparently, as
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: athleticism may not translate to the next level. But me
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: and Demon Williams Junior, we saw enough If this guy's
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: available on day number three. I take him because every
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: game I watched Ohio State play, this guy was murdering people.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah all right, Yeah, So Kyden Curry.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Seems like a steal at a dollar, I.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Would think, but there's a reason why he's being valued
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: that way. And then finally, for a fifty cent piece,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: I will just present to you Michail Kamara from Indiana,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: only because I watched a lot of them, because the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Hoosiers won the national championship. But undersized that only six
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: foot one, which belies what you want out of an
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: edge rusher. Two hundred and sixty five pounds though, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: he is thick, but he is a leader. He was
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: a football player, made a lot of plays for the
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Hoosiers this past year. You'll probably be able to get
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: him in the seventh round High character guy Champion. So
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: for fifty cent piece, if you're just looking to add
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: to your edge rushing depth, then maybe Kamara is somebody
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: that you'd be interested in. So there you go. That's
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: how it works. Six o'clock audience Draft, Miss Catalog, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: have presented to you, Ashley, somebody from each basket, and
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: now it is your job to circle someone in our
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: edge portion of the draft, Miss.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: Cattalog And I'm debating between two players who you really
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: sold me on, but uh one a lot less expensive,
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: Zion the Lion.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: How much was he again?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Two and a half? Two and a half's put maybe
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: the first round, but but not beyond the top of
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the second round.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going with Zion the Lion.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: You are.
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, everything you said about him sounds very positive. Is
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: high energy, elite run defender, great.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Mota, Yeah, so powerful. Sounds like a McDonald guy, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: Sounds like a hard worker and to bring the energy. Yeah,
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: the team's gonna love that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: I do too. I'm gonna circle him as well, even
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: though I'm very tempted to circle Cayden Curry, my other one,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: but I'm gonna circle him as well. But Zion Young
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: just feels right for the Seahawks. I mean, John Shnier
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: is probably listening and laughing right now, you fools. We
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: don't We're not going to consider that guy.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: His name is Zion the Line, got.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Terrible penmanship, and he's got a nasty mouth.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we need a little potty mouth sometimes.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I hate an effing potty mouth. Cheers everybody cheers. All right,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: So there you go. We both circled the lion Zion
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Young from the zoo. Let's find out what's on tap
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: for the rest of our radio show. What's on TEP?
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: What's on TEP?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: We're not done with draft. Miss Ian Furness is going
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: to join us. It's our house guest segment. It is
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: back again on Fridays this year, though we're just going
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: friends and family. I just feel like we got everybody
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: here at the station that has a wish for what
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: they want the Seahawks to do, so why not listen
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: from within? So Ian Furness is going to join us
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: today at seven o five to be our friends and
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: family HouseGuest today. It's about time we gave back to them.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, they do so much for us, we might
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: as well give them a glass of eggnog and let
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: warm their feet by the fire.
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: That's right, Okay, don't take too much nog though, because
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: you will get kicked out.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Seven o five e in for Nesk. We'll also probably
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: ask him a question about the kraken who got mauled
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: last night by the Utah Mammoth. Six to two was
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the final score. I don't know about you, Ashley, but
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: it feels over to me now.
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: It feels over, which is a bummer because I was
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: at that game and it felt not over at all
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: when it started, and then it quickly went downhill.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, jumped out to a two to nothing lead and
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: then six straight goals rattled off by Utah. The team
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: wakes up this morning four games out of the final spot.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: But that's four teams tied, yeah, or maybe three three
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: teams tied.
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: There's three teams ahead of them, yeah, before the two
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: teams that are in the wild card spots.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's not looking good. They'll take on
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the Blackhawks tomorrow at seven. We'll find some time to
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: talk about that final four tomorrow at three o'clock at
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Illinois versus HYU Kon and then Michigan versus Arizona. Quincy
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Pondexter from the UW coach staff, and of course, a
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: former Husky player himself, is going to join us today
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: at nine o'clock. The Dogs faced two of these teams
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: in the final four, so we'll get to Quincy's thoughts
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: on the final four, plus what it's going to take
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: for you, dub to start being here at this time
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: of the year, So we'll do that today at nine o'clock.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Sounders in action Saturday at five thirty against the Houston Dynamo.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: So they're back to MLS action MS Are and Anaheim.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Tonight they start a series with the Angels. Brian Wu
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: will start for the good guys. Reed Det Meers, a
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: left hander, will start for the Angels first pitch at
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: six thirty eight. But tonight, the real story is that JB.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Crawford will be making his debut for the Mariners, activated
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: from the il from his shoulder injury that he worked
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: his way through in spring training. So we'll talk about
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: JP next now, JP Future. JP will do it in
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: our next segment. We're just getting started on a Friday.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Great to have you with US Sports Radio ninety three
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: point three KJRFM. Shame Oh yeah, trimmed.
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: People already called it out of this, Is that right? Yeah,
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: they're like, hey, looking good today?
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Oh good? Yeah? Yeah. I mean I haven't like, I
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: think I've shaved shaved once since I moved here eleven
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: years ago. Shaved skin, yeah, yeah, but you know, so
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I always keep a little bit of the five o'clock
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: shadow kind of thing. And then I have this little
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: scruff thing here at the at the bottom, which I
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: don't know why I'm holding onto that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's it makes you comfortable.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's all that special. But nonetheless, yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: so I at least want to look a presentable and
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: not like, you know, Methuselah's uncle. So here we are.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, who's uncle?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: The oldest man in the Bible?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently the oldest man that's ever lived, according to
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: sounds like it according to King James. But anyway, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: so I did clean it up. People actually did comment
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, and they think we dressed up today.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just wearing a brown sweater.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: It's because I.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: Was.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I won't speak for you. I was so dressed down
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the previous day. I did not know that was going on.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: And then I had a day of warning and I
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: still didn't show up.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wore a Mariner's sweatshirt yesterday. That's not dressing.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: But I guess you know, over a gray T shirt
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: and a marin a sweatshirt a brown sweater. When you
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: move up to sweater, yes, you have stepped up your
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: game a bit.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: We didn't get in trouble. In case you're wondering, I
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: think it was just I know, I put a little
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: bit of pressure on myself, like, you can't look like that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: You can't look like you've got a harmonica in your
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: pocket and you're really getting ready to jump aboard a
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: train wherever it takes you. You can't look like that.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I can't. You can't look like you've got your lunch
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: on a stick and held in a handkerchief. You know that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I can't look like that.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Nope, can't look like that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyway, if we're going to be that, if
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: we're going to be on YouTube, I at least got
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: to show a little bit of effort. And on a
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: scale from one to ten, I gave a three.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I think I'm up to at least a four.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: So welcome our new world. You know many platforms that
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: we're operating on these days, and so that's been a
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: little exciting this week.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: Now, if we could just get the lighting to at
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: least make it look like we have seen the sun
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: at one point, yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I would hope. How about just getting some sun this weekend?
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Well that it's supposed to be seventy degrees on Monday.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Did you see that, Like one day gets up to
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: seventy three and then going to be out there right
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: back down? All right, Well, good morning to you all.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: Whether you're watching us, listening to us, or maybe you're
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: just at home by yourself and you're doing an Ashley
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: and Chuck puppet show. I don't know, sock puppets works. Yeah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: that works too. Let's talk some baseball. Mariners will be
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: back in action after a day off. They will be
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: an Anaheim tonight taking on the Angels. But the big
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: story here is the return of JP Crawford, our starting shortstop.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: He dealt with a shoulder injury at the end of
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: last season, was dealing with a shoulder injury and spring
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: training and now is getting ready to be activated. In
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: that time, that rehab time, it really didn't take very long.
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: Once he was okay, I mean it was pretty much
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: bing bang boom, he was up with the big league club.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: So he'll make his season debut. That costs Ryan Bliss
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: his job on the major league team, which I knew that,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: and I don't I think I think I said Revas
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: yesterday and stupid, but yeah, Bliss was the obvious he
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: goes down. Revas was their planned utility man this entire process.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: So Revas stays on the team, but the starting shortstop
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: is now JP Crawford. And I think we just start
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: with just this simple statement, Ashley. I mean, I'm glad
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: to have him back. Yeah, yeah, I mean I'm not
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: the biggest JP Crawford the baseball player fan, but I'm
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: glad to have him back.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: I think if it had been two years ago and
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: he'd missed coming out of spring training with an injury
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: after coming off a really great season, I would have
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: been like, oh, all right, thank goodness he's back.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: But there was some questions last year, and there's some things.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: That make you wonder, oh, gosh, is he the same
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: player he was, because it doesn't seem like it. And
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: there was some questionable throws. He's not as quick as
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: he used to be, not that he was ever very quick.
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: So I but I am happy to have the experience back.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: And yeah, and I hope that maybe we were going
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: to see some more of the player that he was
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: a couple of years ago.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: That'd be nice.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think he's got the best eye
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: on the team. I think of all the people that
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: should do well with ABS challenge system, he's probably going
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: to benefit the most. I think he does have a
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: better eye than most managers, most umpires, and so that's
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: one thing too. Yeah, the experience. He's very well liked
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: in the clubhouse. He's one of the leaders, even though
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if his leadership is as required anymore.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: With Cal kind of having stepped up in Josh Naylor
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: here for a full season, I think we got plenty
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: of leaders even if he's not here next year, which
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I don't expect JP to be here next year, so
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: you get the leadership back. And Okay, I think it's
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: a little bit of team speak, but Perry Hill comes
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: on our show and says, you know what our goal
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: is is we want to catch the baseball. And JP
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Crawford catches the baseball. When the ball is hit to him,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: he makes the play. And Perry Hill himself, you know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: greatest infield coach in the world, tells us that's organizationally,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: that's our philosophy. If we have them positioned in the
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: right place, and that's maniactor's job, and the balls hit
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: to him, he's gonna make the play. We don't want
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: to give any extra outs because it affects so many
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: other things, including pitch count obviously, situational all of that
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: sort of thing. So that really is important to us
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: to have a shortstop that makes the routine plays. So
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: those are all the superlatives that I'll give JP Crawford.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Now let's talk about the question marks, because as Ashley mentioned,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, we are talking about one of the worst
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: lateral moving shortstops I've ever seen. And I don't mean
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: to be so harsh. Cal Ripkin wasn't a great lateral
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: moving shortstop either, but cal Ripkin made every play that
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: was hit to him and also was thunderous at the plate. Yeah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: MVP like type player. So JP's not bringing an MVP
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: like offense. And let's face it, he doesn't make the
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: routine play as frequently as what they carry on. We
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: saw a lot of bad throws last year at the
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: end of the season with that shoulder problem, and he
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: got bailed out quite.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: A bit by Josh Naylor.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: By Josh Naylor, Yeah, at the end of last season.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: So we find out that he's got shoulders issues again
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: this year. Yeah, I'm a little concerned about the arm strength, Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: getting it across the field, and there's just no way
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: that his offense. Well, I won't say no way, because
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I think that he's if he stays within himself and
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: is not trying to jack homers, he'll run into ten
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: homers and that's fine, and he'll walk a lot. And
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: if he sprays the ball all over the field, which
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I think is his strength, then I think that he
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: can be an effective offensive player for this baseball team.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: But when he is trying to swing for the Hills,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: you know he's not. And now I need his defense
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: to justify him being in the lineup, especially when I
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: got Cold Emerson apparently itching.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: To get up here, knocking on the door and knocking.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: On the door. So I am all about JP Crawford.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: The stage is yours. You show us. I need to
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: see JP Crawford at his best, when he's at his best,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: I need to see that version. I need to see
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: you getting walks. I need you spring the ball all
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: over the infield. I need to see you making every
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: routine play because I know you're not going to get
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: quicker and more athletic going forward, all right, So that's
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: what I need to see. And if I see that,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: and I hope I see that you stay in the
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: lineup all through the regular season into the postseason, and
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I hope JP Crawford is celebrating catching the final out
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: of the World Series as our starting shortstop. But I'm
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: telling you, this is no season to monkey around with
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: a shortstop that has a weak arm and is trying
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: to hit a home run every time up. We've got
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: too much talent, we got too much at stake. So
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: for me, JP is on blast. I'm sorry that you
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: see the objects in the rear view mirror and they
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: are closer than they appear. But you're going to have
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: to play with pressure, and you're gonna have to play
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: well because if I get to June July and I'm
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: looking at a two to twenty hitter with a three
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: to twenty on base who's not making every single play
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: at shortstop, cold empertson cold Emerson's my shortstop for the
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: rest of the season.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: Well, yeah, and he should be playing with pressure anyway.
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: Right We're in a World Series window, a World Championship window,
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: so there's pressure on all of these guys, and so
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: if he's not stepping up, then sorry about it.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But I am glad he's back. Yeah, me too.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to seeing him play tonight.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I am too.
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: I just am hoping that maybe this shoulder issue that
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: he dealt with was the lingering stuff from last year
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: and now it's all better, and then the throws will
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: be better. And yes, we're going to see the revived JP.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: That's what I would love to see, the revived JP.
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: And then I would love it that when Colt Emerson
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: does get called up, it's a strugg They've got to figure.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Out where he's going. I agree, he doesn't just have
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: a slot that he's sliding right into.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. And I do believe this is JP's
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: last season here. I don't think there's anything that's going
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: to change that. Cold Emerson's gonna be our shortstop on
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: opening day next season. So I think this is his
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: last year, and I would like nothing more. Of course,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: for them to win the World Series, it's obviously our goal,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: but I would love nothing more than for JP Crawford
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: to be our shortstop through that process. That'd be great.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I'm rooting for that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Sign me up for that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm rooting for that. So tonight he's back on
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: the field and It will be good to see him,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: all right. Coming up next are The Crack and Done
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ RFM.
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: Hal circa yet sends it into the bar side now
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: Jersey to Cooley for at shot.
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: Knocked out, Cutter got the rebound, Buddy.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Hit the cord, the puck went in. They're gonna wave
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: it off.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: That will be goal tender interference.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: After coaches challenge, it was determined that and there was
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: no goaltender interference.
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: This is a goal, all right, So they'll count the
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: goal and the US A memmoth now a five.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: To two lead, and that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: What's the remaining playoff hopes for the Crack and it
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: dangerous jeopardy with this goal and this game now down
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: five to two and not getting any help with the
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: standings here tonight.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately. That's your make delivery of the game, last night's call.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: We'll just call it call. I call it the top call. Yeah,
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: there you go from the Crack and Audio Network, brought
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: to you by McDonald's Ordering the Food U Crave with

  Speaker 3: Cracking scored the first two goals of the game last night.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know how must win. It is not statistically
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: must win, but it all felt awfully musty. Returning home
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: to take on the Utah Mammoth, jumped out to a
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: two to nothing lead, ended up losing six to two.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: That's right, six unanswered goals from the Utah Mammoth. They're
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: heading toward the playoff and playing like a playoff team
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: as they get ready for the postseason. Meanwhile, the Krackend
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: have now slipped four points back of the eighth and
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: final playoff spot. Worse than that, tied with three teenth
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: three teams that they're back four points back of for
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: that eighth and final playoff spot, plus Winnipeg has slipped
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: ahead of them, So not looking good. We will ask
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: our next guest about it, because he knows a thing
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: or six about hockey. But we're also going to have
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Ian fordess on here in a moment to talk some
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: NFL draft as well. Here on this third day of
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Draftmans twenty twenty six. Great to have you with us,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Chuck and Ashley with you Sports Radio ninety three point
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: three KJRFM. I choked on some water during the break,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: so forgive me. Yeah, I'm just trying to get my
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: breath here a little bit. I'll do it during frost
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: brewed cors like choos chill headlines, what do you say
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: the crack and losing six to two. Will take on
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: the Blackhawks tomorrow at seven o'clock. Also tomorrow, the final
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: four two games will be on nine point fifty AM.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: You can hear Illinois versus Yukon at three o'clock, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: then Michigan versus Arizona will play around six o'clock. Sounders
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: in action against the Dynamo tomorrow at five thirty. That's
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: going to be on the Mothership. Mariners are in Anaheim
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: tonight to take on the Angels, a lesser than opponent
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: than the first two they faced so far this season.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: The M's off to a less than spectacular three and
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: four start. Hopefully our big three hitters in the middle
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: of the order start getting it going Tonight against the Angels,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: they'll face left hander Reed Detmers. We'll go with Brian
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: wu first pitches at six thirty eight, and the big
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: story there is the JP Crawford, we'll be back in
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the lineup. Shoulder injury during the spring that he worked
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: his way through, didn't spend too much time in rehab.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: He's ready to rejoin the club tonight in Anaheim. That
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: costs Ryan Bliss a roster spot. He'll be sent down
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: to Tacoma and Leo Revos will bump to the utility position,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: which was the design for him this entire time. Also
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: for Major League Baseball, the number one prospect in the
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: entire sport, nineteen year old Connor Griffin, who's been drawing
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: comparisons to Alex Rodriguez for goodness sake, is going to
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: be making his debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight, and
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: that will be at home. A lot of teams still
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: making their home debuts, so Pirates are playing their first
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: game at home this season. And the strategically I think
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: they kind of screwed up. I mean, you could have
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: opening night sell out and then have Connor Griffin on
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: another night to sell out the place, but they've decided
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: to combine the two worlds. So Connor Griffin makes his
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: debut on the home opener for the Pirates this season,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: and so that will be a big story tonight in
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, but the biggest story in my life
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: these days, in my heart, in my loins. It happens
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: to be the start of draft though. We put together
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: all sorts of fun and games and high jinks and
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: then only bring on the best guests to talk about
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: the upcoming NFL Draft. And today we launch our house
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: guest segment, which we've always done on Friday, and this
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: year we're gonna have a theme. Within the theme, it's
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: friends and family because this year I want to check
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: in with the voices that you hear all the time
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: on KJAR and who they're wanting the Seahawks to draft
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: this draft season, so getting us started. You hear them
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: right here at KJAR every day from one to three.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: It is our own Ian Furness. Good morning, sir, Happy
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: draftness to you, Thank you.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, the merry drafts to you. Good morning. How are you?
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: You got a missiletoe up for you and missus Furness.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. She loves this time of year. Yeah,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: she's very thrilled. She's can't tell you how happy she is.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: She's actually I think it's I think it's a good
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: time of the year. Because for those three days have
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: gone a lot, so I think that makes it even better.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I can't wait to dive into this here on
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: a draft miss, but obviously you're our hockey guy around here,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: so let's get that topic out.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Of the way.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I have to feel compare out of the way. I
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: feel compelled to ask you. I mean, I told Ashley
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: this morning, it felt like the finishing move. It felt
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: like they're down for the count, six to two loss
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to the Mammoth last night. What was your reaction in
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: the aftermath.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was massively disappointing in terms of
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: how it played out. I mean, you're up to nothing
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and you give up a goal to one, that's fine,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and you know, the power play gives you a four
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: minute double minor to Catton, and just that was kind
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: of an unlucky play. Is stick you're cutting in the
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: offensive zone and Stick kind of gets popped up and
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: cuts the guy, and so it's a four minute minor,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: a double minor, and they score to two, and okay,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you're all right. And you know, before the two two goals,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: you gotta looked like they took a three to one lead.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: There was a weird night there were three, yeah, I
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: think three goaltender interference calls, challenges non challenges, and every
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: one of them went against Seattle, including the one that
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: made it three to one. Lots of the scored you're
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: thinking one, okay, you're good, and that gets waved off
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: to two and three to two later, and then you
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: go in the third period down by one, and you
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: come out and you think you had one shot on
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: goal in the first seven or eight minutes of the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: third down a goal, and just I don't know, man,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: it was they. I felt like they kind of tapped out,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: and you know, the score was. I think the score
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: was indicative of what happened in the last part of
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the third period. You know, three two, then it gets
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: to be four two and they're done. They just it
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: was I think every kind of said that last night,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: and that's just disappointing, and it kind of speaks to
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: what's going to have to happen in this offseason. That's
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: you know, there's some guys that are unrestricted free agents
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: anyway that probably need to go. And then you know,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: I think you got to take a long, hard look
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: at how the thing's being run. I think Lane Lambert's
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the right, coach. I don't like I think this. I
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: think the only reason they're in the playoff hunt Chuck
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: is Lane, Lambert, Chris Taylor and thereon shnee cloth. There
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: are three coaches. But but outside of that, I think
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: everything should be on the table. It was really disappointing.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: They came out of the they went into the Olympic
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: break with a five game cushion and they're going to miss,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: probably by five or six points when it's.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: All said and then, yeah, very disappointing.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: All right, well, Joey was and Joey was bad too,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: and all the say is Joey was really bad last night,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: like like he you need your goaltender to be good.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Group hours giving you a chance the last three games,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: they go back to Joey last night and he wasn't
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: good and that didn't help.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Very disappointing. Well, I'll let you save more of your
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: crack and stuff for one o'clock today. We have a mission.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: It's to get to the NFL Draft. Friends and Family
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: House guest segment here today with Ian Furness. And I've
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: heard your show. I've heard you talk a lot about
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: still being worried about this ken Walker void at running back.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: And so at what point do you want them to
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: address it with the first their first selection at thirty
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: two or whether that's in the second round, or do
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: you trust John and Mike to find somebody on day two.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the first thing you got to do
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: is figure out, you know, what you're going to do overall,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Like you know what's your what's your overall plan? And
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: you know with just the four picks, the you know,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the thirty second in the first round on day one,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: two on day two at sixty four and ninety six,
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: and then only one on day three, and that's not
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: until you know round six. I just cannot fathom. You
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: know that John Schneider is going to stay with just
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: four which kind of takes I would think would take
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: pick thirty two off the board. I mean, you know,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: you're out there with us all day Saturday, you know
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: what it's like, that's John Schneider's favorite day of like draft,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: this is your favorite time of the year, you know,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Saturday of day three, the draft is John Schneider's favorite day,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: isn't it. I Mean he loves to get busy in
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: rounds four through seven, and for him not to have
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: a pick on only have one pick on Day three,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: I really think that they're going to have to do something,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: and we'll do something with that thirty second pick, but
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: you know, and to get more than four, I mean
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: to have three and basically be done after Friday night
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: would just be odd. Now, obviously it happened before, but
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: that was the odd year with COVID and they just
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: kind of tapped out of that draft, and probably rightfully so.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: They just didn't trust what they saw with the weird
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: schedule and some teams playing only four or five games
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: and some teams playing less than that. So that was
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: that was a different time. I wanted to go after
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: a running back, you know early. I just think that,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and I think there's plenty of guys out there that
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: they can find, but I do think that that has
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: to be priority number one. Cornerback. Obviously, some depth there,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: maybe find somebody that can compete with Josh job and
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and then depth at the edge rush position. You know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: you voyem Off wasn't a sack master by any means
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: to last year, but he did. You know, if you
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: want to look at the old win rate stat from
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: PFF and others, made it rest in peace, then then
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: you know, you probably have to find some depth there.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: But boy, Chuck, I just I just think you got
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: to find a running back fairly soon.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean, if if they keep
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: what they've got, so a first round or a second
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: rounder and a third rounder, just just to play along
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: with the game a little bit, how would you prioritize
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: that if you if you were drafting just based on priority,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: would you go running back, cornerback, edge, edge, cornerback, running back?
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: How would you at least draft from a priority standpoint?
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: If they keep those first three.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Picks running back one, cornerback two, edge three, and then
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: again I'm assuming, I'm assuming that you know, what they
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: said that DeMarcus Lawrence is coming back is accurate and
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: there's no concern there, so I think they can. I
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: think that's what you know, the the That's probably where
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I would go. And you know, we've been doing this,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: you know, for for many years, you and I have
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: been out there and you've been doing the draft. Miss
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: thing for trying to predict what John Schneider is going
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: to do is one of the most maddening situations you
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: could ever put yourself in, but and also kind of
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: a fun exercise and futility, because you know that whatever
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: you say and think, he's going to go elsewhere.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I think, oh yeah, he's taking a Mike linebacker,
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be something like that, isn't it?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Or I think I'm fairly I think we can accurately
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: and pretty safely say they're probably not going to take
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: a wide.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Receiver, right, I see, Okay, I'm with you.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I would think the tight end position is fairly well
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: set as well offensive tackle. You know, I think you're
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: okay there, But yeah, you're right. I mean, well, we've
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: got her to Jones, but we really like this guy,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: so let's go down that road. But that's that's where
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I would go.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: And Fornessa's with us. It's our house guest segment. Here,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: day number three of the draft of the season, less
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: than three weeks away from the NFL Draft, and this
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: year we're going to check in with friends and family
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: here at KJAR every Friday. And so Ian gets us started.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Do you have a name in mind? I mean, I
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: don't know how deeply you're getting into the product. I mean,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: we're just getting draft miss as started. Maybe you rely
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: entirely on the information we provide here in the morning's
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: on kJ R. I don't know, but do you I do.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Do you have a name in mind if somebody that
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: that you would love to see the Seahawks get it
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: running back?
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think here's I would say that. Yeah,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: there's a number of names. And the fun thing with
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the running back position is that you can you can
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: kind of go down and say, hey, outside of the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: top guy in Jeremiah Love, everybody else is probably a
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: day two, day three guy. And there's a bunch of
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: dudes that fit into that category. I mean, Mike Washington
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: and Arkansas, I'm at Johnson and Nebraska, you know, the
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: local guy. And Jonah Coleman, who you know, I like
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: a lot. I think I kind of wonder a little
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: bit about you know some I guess durability. He kind
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: of wore down last year a little bit, but I
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: sure like you know, I mean, he's a touchdown machine.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: You know. Jadarium Price is the name that seems to
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: get the other running, the so called other running back
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. Right, He's a guy that everyone kind
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: of seems to to put towards Seattle and in mock
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: drafts and things like that. You know, he's not as
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: as explosive, say as Jeremiah Love. But I think, you know,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: I think one thing you can do, we can return
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: kicks as well. And even though you have guys that
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: can do that, as we found out last year, you
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: can never have too many guys that can do that.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: But I think During Price is a guy that fits
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: big time. Nick Singleton at ten State, there's a bunch
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: of the thing is interesting. There's a bunch of big
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: backs too, you know. I mean there's some guys that
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: have some size. Colman's obviously not the biggest, but Mike
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Washington at Arkans has a big dude. He's you know,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: he's over six feet, he's two twenty and he's fast
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: and that like he's the one that scares because you
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: look at the numbers and go, geez, six one, he's
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: two thirty or two twenty five. He ran a four
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: to three at the combine. Why why is he said
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: not to be like a top five guys? So, I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: don't know, it's it's there's those are the guys that
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: feel like they're in Seattle's wheelhouse and not knowing what
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: the new offensive coordinat or Floyd is gonna really want
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: from a running back. It's hard to say, but I
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: do know this, when they've when they've reached for a
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: running back early, oftentimes outside of maybe Walker, and he
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: didn't really I mean, if we're being honest, we talked
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: a lot about how Walker wasn't doing enough up until
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, right, I mean over his career, right, yeah, yeah, right,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I mean that was the thing with him. When he's
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: reached though, Rashad Penny, injury prone, you know, Kristin, Michael,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? You know, things like that. But
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: then he has found guys. The Chris Carson draft pick
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: was a terrific pick, you know, uh, picking Thomas Rawls
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt off the scrap heat. Terrific pick.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: So I think that they'll find My guess is honestly, Chuck.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: I think I think when they do add draft picks,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: that they'll add more than one running back. I could
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: see this being a situation where they draft more than
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: one guy, because I know there's some you know, my
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: buddy rang and and then yours and and Corbyn and
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: some other guys. They they'll sing the praises of George Lane,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: But I mean George Lelane to me is the definition
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: of a jag. He's just a guy. I think we've
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: seen enough there. Kenny McIntosh coming off in ACL probably
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: a guy that can you know, he showed some things
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: last year. In fact, he was probably gonna be in
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: the mix until he got hurt last year. Jacario White, right,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Remember he was, He was preseason All Pro last season
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: before he got hurt and put on injured reserve for
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: the on the practice squad, injury reserve. He's shown a
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: little bit of burst and some things too. So they
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: do have some guys in the stable that we really
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: don't talk about or hear about. But I could see
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: him taking two guys.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: As as good as Pete and John were together at
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: one point. I mean, you've seen two different champions, one
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: built by Pete and John and now one built by
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: John and Mike. Were they ever this locked in like
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Mike and John seemed to be with personnel decisions.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Don't I don't think so, but only because the dynamic
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: was so different. You know, Pete had truly the final say,
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: and you know I, which I always thought was an
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: odd thing, I got it. I got the power structure
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: you know, early on, you know, like if you remember
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: back like their first few years here, like two thousand, ten, eleven,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: twelve thirteen, they were They were also like they'd finish
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: each other's sentence john Wood. It was just like the
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: running joke, right, they would they would sit there and
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: finish each other second sentence. I think as time went
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: on and as the roster was built to the point
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of being a Super Bowl champion, I think that they
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: got to the point where they started taking some flyers
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: on guys. You know, I could just mention the Christian
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Michaels of the world, and you know, guys on Malik McDowell.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: They started taking chances because they could, and so I
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: think we kind of thought, well, maybe they're not in lockstep.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I do think Pete made some you know, was the
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: guy that would make some moves that didn't make as
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: much sense. Jamal Adams really felt like a Pete move
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: for sure, kind of desperate for a pass rusher. Instead
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: of getting a pass rusher, you get a safety who
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: blitzed a lot and got home a few times. That's
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: kind of that was just a disaster. I don't know.
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, i'd say that they're more in lockstep
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: now because Mike's the coach and John and his great
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: staff with Nolan and Matt and all those guys are
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: they're so in lockstep and that's what they do. You know,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: it's just two different jobs. It's just like having a
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: head coach be a personnel guy. I think in today's
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: NFL is is frankly impossible. You know, it just is.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: You're not scouting, you're not grinding, you're not on the road.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: When you know, I'll to say this, when you know,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: John Schneider is the guy in charge, but he's got
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: this great staff. His lieutenants have been there forever. The
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: scouts more by and large, have been there for a
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: long time. That tells you something about how the organization
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: is run. But when we would you know, when I
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: was traveling with those guys for all those years, I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times, you know, Schneider on
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: a Saturday night would come rolling into a hotel somewhere
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: across the country and it was with his guys because
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: they've been out of a college game, you know, that weekend.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: And I mean, he he, he put the time and
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: effort into it. Don't think a coach can so I
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's more lockstep. I just think that
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: the way that the hierarchy is now is probably just
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: a little better in terms of putting something together. And
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: you know, John's miss for sure. The boy he's hit lately.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: Oh doubt. He is on fire. Well, Happy draft, miss
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: to you, looking forward to this month, looking forward to
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: draft coverage, show with you here in about three weeks,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: and appreciate what coming on from today.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, three weeks from today, Buddy will be day two,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: and three weeks from tomorrow it's breakfast at the vMac.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Can't wait.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I look forward to that. I kind
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: of get my hands start to sweat a little bit
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: just on the mention of that. All right, well, one
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: to three today, a lot of crack and talk. What
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: are we doing today?
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: No, we're gonna actually, yeah, I think, just for my
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: own mental health and well being, all avoid that we'll
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: touch that. I'm actually we're busy. Fridays are crazy busy.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: We've got Rob Rang's going to join us speaking and draftmas. Yeah,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: he wants to talk about what they'll do at thirty two,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: even though I don't think they're going to pick at
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: thirty two, so we're going to go through four names.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: It makes sense at thirty two, and of course none
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: of them, you know. I think one will be a
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: running back and we'll see what the other ends I'll be,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: but we'll I think we'll talk about an offensive guard.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: He likes to replace Anthony Bradford, so we'll do that
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: at one. With draft stuff, Danny O'Neill normal visit on Fridays.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: We'll see what's what's bugging him this week, and then
• 53:29

• 53:57
  Speaker 3: three point three kJ RFM, SAD not necessary the headline topics,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Chuck pal Ashley Ryan with you know Bucky Jacobson here today.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: What we do have new in our lives is our
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: YouTube channel that went up on Wednesday, much to our surprise.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: I mean we knew that it had been coming for
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: like thirty three years.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, hey, it was nineteen eighty
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: six when they told.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Us, yeah, But then it got activated. Our engineer Jeff
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: was in here. I thought it was the ghost of Jeff,
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: No real Jeff. But it was real Jeff. Yeah.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was doing real stuff.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah and uh and he got us up and going.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: So if you want to check it out. So, as
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: I mentioned yesterday, I don't normally check like the text
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: line because it just I don't want it to throw
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: me off. It's not that I don't want the feedback
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: or like the feedback or appreciate the feedback, but I
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: won't get into the whole description. I have my reasons.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: And so the YouTube, this is the first time I've
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: tuned it on. I've turned it on and it's frozen
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: on my computer and it's just me making a weird face.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Well that's fun.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So is that gonna happen a lot? That's just
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: gonna freeze me making weird face. I mean, I might
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: have a weird face, but this is like a weirder
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: face than what I normally carry around town.
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: I have not seen that it has not been frozen
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: on mine, so I'm not quite sure what happened on yours, all.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Right, but it just yes, that's got it frozen on
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: a weird face. Second secondly, I see a lot of
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: the comments, and they're very nice. It's very nice to
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: read like everybody, good morning, and great to hear you,
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: and great to see you, and some really good stuff.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: So that's nice. That's uplifting. Thank you for that.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: People are sweet.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And then the third thing that I
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: would like to mention, and I don't know why this
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: exists in a decent world, but why did I go
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: to YouTube pouring up Chuck and Buck? And you know
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: how they bring those suggestions, They scroll them down on
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: the right side, Like if you brought this up, maybe
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: you're interested in all of these things just to keep
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: you on this site. So I call up Chuck and
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: Buck's new YouTube channel, and yeah, as soon as I
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: on ours, And what is the first suggestion down the
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: right side? Beavis and butt Head a video of Ryan
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: Gosling on Saturday Night Live as Beavis and butthead why
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: did I get? Why did I just tyke chucking Buck
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: into a Google search into a YouTube search and the
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: first thing that people thought you'd like is Beavis and
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: butt Head.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're going with dynamic duos.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: That all ill, I'm taking it personally. YouTube. It's a
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: low blow. Yeah, I'm going to talk to you people
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: at YouTube.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: I got a problem with you.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we need a meeting. Let's have lunch figure this out.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the ABC's of the MS.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: So we left off yesterday at the letter l L
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: is four lefties. We're gonna be facing another one here tonight.
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: And there's been a little bit of a problem. And yeah,
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: it's three and four start to the season, and our
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: three best hitters are in a slump, so we're not
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: gonna worry about Roeblaz and refs, but we don't seem
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: to be as effective thus far this season when facing
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: left handers, and that's going on tonight, so it'll be
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: a refsnighter Roeblaze night again instead of a Ralei Canzone
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: night again. I'm assuming and you know you're getting JP
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: so you're adding another lefty to the lineup, and even
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: this cold Emerson kid when he comes up as another lefty.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: So the idea that you know, if Emerson and Crawford
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: are on a roster together and Donovan hits from the
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: left side and can Zone and RAYLEI maybe better than
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Roeblaze and ref Schninder. Based on what we've seen so far,
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're going to have to keep righties on
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: this lineup. Revos will remain our utility player as a
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: switch hitter. So it's gonna be interesting this roster crunch
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: because these left handers so far this season have been
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: giving us trouble, and this organization has had the damnedest
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: time trying to find a right handed hitting compliment. They
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: always get a veteran who has proven for like three
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: centuries that I can hit left handers and then gets
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: here and can't hitler hands. So I'm a little leary
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: about ref Snyder, even though the resume suggests that he
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: should be able to fill this role just fine this year,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: but nonetheless off to a three and four start, and
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: what we really seem to be struggling against is left handers.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to face another one tonight.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Can we blame that on T Mobile Park?
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe we can blame it on YouTube.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Oh well I'll do that. Yeah, yeah, clearly.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: It's frustrating, and it is. It's funny because on certain
• 58:29
  Speaker 8: certain days when the lineup comes out, you look at
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: it and you're like, Okay.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: That is our reaction right now, I don't think I mean,
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: just on paper, it should not be that right now.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: I know, you know, ref Snyder's coming off a much
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: better season than Ralegh. Yeah, and yet and I don't know.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, you made a point, and I made a
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: joke about it, but it's a point where it discuss
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: is there something to that? I mean, who was the
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: guy that complained about T Mobile and the hitting eye
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: the most Taeoscar Hernandez side of the plate that he
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: hit on right side of the plate. Josh Naylor, it's
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: on the left side of the plate. He comes here
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: and he loves the place. Yeah, So I don't know,
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: maybe there is something.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe we need to do more research.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe we do. But I mean Aj Pollock was
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: supposed to hit here, Mitch Garver was supposed to hit here.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: Lefties if nothing else right, and they didn't and so
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: ref Snyder's off to a rough start Roadblazers is off
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: to a little bit of a rough start here. I mean,
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: we're gonna give him a lot more wiggle room. I
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: mean we're not even close. I mean, we got to
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: get to June July before we determined that didn't work.
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: But nonetheless, I think that there is this element of
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: seeing a left hander with Mariner fans right now and
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: for several years and going, eh, we're not as good
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: against left hand.
• 59:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, maybe I don't want that to be the case. Yeah,
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: maybe the fact that we're on the road. There you go,
• 59:46
  Speaker 8: that'll help.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: There you go. M's for Munos, Andre's Munnos. It's been
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: a while since we've seen him. In the last time
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: we saw him, he got lit up a little bit
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: because Chase the Laughter apparently was going to just destroy
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: every baseball throne to him and that Guardian series. But look,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: I get that Munyos doesn't make an appearance in the
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: Yankees game, you know, or in the Yankee series. I
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: should say, I just want to throw this out there,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: not that it's going to fall on welcoming ears over
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: there at T Mobile. Don't put me through another one.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: Of these years, Dan, don't put me through this. Oh
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: we're down one, that's insurmountable. Can't possibly throw Munyos or Brash,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: So let's throw you know, let's throw Legamina out there.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: And now we're down four. I don't want to go
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: through that again. Like I'm not saying that you throw
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: munyot your top guys every time you're trailing. But when
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: and we weren't within one run of the Yankees, it
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: was two, so I understand why, Munya. I'm just saying,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: let's not do this again. There are times where I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: think a one run deficit should be protected, and those
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: times usually are when a Munjos has not pitched in
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: a while and you've got to off the next day.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: That seems like a really good time to maybe get
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Andre some work. Maybe he needs to feel a little
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: bit of success after getting ruped up a little bit.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: I'm probably not, but you know, I don't want I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: don't want Dan Wilson to just again this year. I
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: only bring in Munyos, Brash and Ferrer when we're leading.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: I would like to see them more frequently used, more
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: faith that we can come back from a one run deficit,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: more faith this year. And that's not in every case,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: but especially in a case where he hasn't pitched in
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: a while and he's got a day off the next day.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: I think that's perfect Munyo's time.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's fair. And show the team too, Okay,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 8: I have faith you guys can do this. We're gonna
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 8: put some of our best guys out there now and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: then an offense.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: It's up to you after they do their job.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: Finally, and is for Naylor and Josh Naylor is off
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: to a one for twenty seven start and his one
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: hit was a single, so not exactly the way that
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: he wanted to start. Now normal Ashley, And is for normally.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: I would be a little worried about somebody getting a
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: big salary and then getting off to a slow start.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: I think that. I think people that it's just human nature.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: I'm getting a lot of money to perform for and
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: I chose this place because how much these people love me.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: And you put so much pressure on yourself that if
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: you get off to a slow start, it might take
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: a while to get out of that. It might take
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: a while to dig out of that. You might compound
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: that slow start more inside your head of being more
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: dramatic than it has to be. But I am not
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: worried about that with Naylor at all. I just think
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: he operates at a completely different level than just about
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: any professional athlete I've ever seen. He's off to a
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: one for twenty seven start because he's a little bit off.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: As Angie told us yesterday, he does not look cal
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: kind of looks off. I don't think Josh looks all
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: that far off. He's probably not that far away from
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: getting locked in. And I can almost promise you that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: Josh Naylor is not bothered by all one for twenty
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: seven start. If anybody sees two, three, four steps into
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: the future and beyond his own immediate struggles, it's him.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: I love his mentality. He's going to be just fine.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 8: Yes, I have no doubt that he will be fine.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 8: He'll probably get two hits tonight.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: Let's do that. Yeah, let's do that. Let's get it going.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: If you want to get three, you can get three.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: But I'm not going to be greedy. Just two hits.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get it going today. I want a home
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: run out of each of those three guys. Over the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 3: course of this weekend series with the Angels, you can
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: put them all in one game if you'd like. You
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: can spread them out equally over the weekend. You can
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: hit more than one if you prefer.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: If you want to hit him with other people on
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 8: the basis, really appreciate it.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: If you want to hit one per night this weekend
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: in Anaheim, that's fine with me. But I want at
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: least one out of you. I want to come to
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: the show on Monday and not talk about our Big
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: three having not hit.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: A home run yet.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: Ye yes, please, And that goes for you too, a
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: Rose Arena. Yeah, Chick four, that is Big four.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: I want you all had a home run this weekend.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: That's your homework assignment, all right? Coming up next, Final
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: four is tomorrow. We provide a little sneak preview of
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: it next on Chuck and Buck Sports Radio ninety three

• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: little service, be an idiot, a little bit of a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: service for you. Ashley Ryan is here. My name is
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: Chuck Powell. No Bucky Jacobson. Today we've made it through
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: the week without the presence of the ginger bearded one,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: Bucky Jacobson. And yet we've got a lot of things
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: to recap from this week without Bucky Jacobson. And there
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: are some big stories going on right now, some huge
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: stories locally, nationally, even globally. But in my world, as
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: father Draftmas, there's only one top story this week. It's Draftnas.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 9: Time.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: The clock is taking. Draftmas is almost here.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: It's yeah.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 6: The combine visits and pro dates in the rear view
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 6: mirror with Snyder.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Bucks and the spell.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 6: To build a team to dominate it in the fall.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: It's beginning to look a.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 6: Lot live Draft Moss. All the prospects are placed on
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 6: the big board with care the room, misspo Johnny Cars
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 6: will soon be there with the green roof full of
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 6: prospects and the twelves in their swag hoping Johnny claus
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 6: Pool Shanny toys out of his draft must bag.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Ah. We have almost an entire album now. We had
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: a song, it seems every year to our draft, Miss Holiday.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: I think that was performed by a new artist called.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 8: Ai ai a written though by a listener. It was
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 8: actually written by a listener. He just had AI performance.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Is that what it was? So he wrote the whole
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: song or do you I don't know how this works,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: or do you enter the information that you want to
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: be covered in this song and then in Aila?
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 8: I think he could do either, but he said he
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: actually wrote the song very nice. He just had AI
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 8: performance and he did two versions. We have a slower,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 8: more traditional one too.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: Well the slow dance too. Yeah, I know that the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: hype and the hooplah that goes with mus and all
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: the hubbub. Well, sometimes you just want to slow dance
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: to draft.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 8: Miss Sometimes you do, right, I was thinking more it
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 8: was like the traditional one could be like when you're
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 8: sitting by the fire and drinking your nog uh huh.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 8: And then the upbeat one is when you're like feeling Pizzazzi.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: Most of the time you're feeling Pizzazzi. Yeah, but even
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: in the midst of war room discussions, John and Mike
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: just sometimes you gotta shut off the tape and just
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: slow dance.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: I hear you.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: To a nice draft, miss Song.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: To a nice draft Miss Carol.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: And I don't know which puts his head on the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: other's shoulder. I'm not gonna go ahead and name that.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: That'd be wrong.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: Well, and they can alternate.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I think I think there's a lot
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: of time for that sort of affection. So yes, the
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: draft miss got started on Wednesday. It is our month
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: long celebration of the NFL Draft slash countdown to the
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: NFL Draft, which is coming up on April twenty third.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: The Seahawks won't be on the clock until pick number
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: thirty two. You want to know why, Because they're world champions,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: that's right, and champions have to finish or see me
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: pick last in the NFL Draft, and so at number
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: thirty two, there really isn't much expectation. It feels like
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: that the Seahawks will remain at thirty two. John Schneider
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: is a reputation for accumulating picks on draft weekend, and
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: he's starting with a scant four. It feels like he'll
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: end up with his traditional seven to eight draft picks
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: by the end of the process. But then again, a
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: lot of talk. Greg Bells reminded us that John doesn't
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: really like this draft, and almost everybody's telling us it's
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: a week draft by comparison to past drafts and the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: talent that they've produced. And so what will John do?
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: Will he go ahead and stick and pick at number
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: thirty two? I don't think he will, and neither does
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: our guest from earlier this week. Eric Edholme of NFL
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: wrote an article earlier this week five trades that he's expecting,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: including one involving the Seahawks where they drop out of
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: the thirty second pick with the Pittsburgh Steelers to add
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: all whole boatload of draft.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: Capital, four picks one after the top hundred. You know,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 5: limited resources. Do they have a ton of needs and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: a ton of spots they're itching a fill? Probably not,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: But you know, I think given the way that they've
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 5: used those Day three picks in the recent past, and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 5: going back even farther, that's been a very important spot
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: for the Seahawks and John Schneider that it's an area
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: where they do a lot of good work, so I
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 5: would be surprised that they didn't end up with more
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: than one Day three selection. I think trading out of
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: thirty two makes a lot of sense.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: Eric ed Holme, if you want to hear the entire
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: conversations on our podcast ninety three to three KJR dot com.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: We get into a couple of the different articles that
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: he wrote, including He's got a first two rounds or
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: first two picks of every team in the National Football League,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: and he not only has the Hawks taken Avion Terrell,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: the cornerback out of Clemson at thirty two, he has
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: Jadarian Price, who some people are putting on the Seahawks
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: at thirty two. He has him falling all the way
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: to sixty four, and the Seahawks getting him at the
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: end of the second round. So two articles from ed
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Holme this week, both involving the Seahawks, if you are
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: interested in checking them out or listening to his interview
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: with us on our podcast. Let's go back, though, to
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: the pick at number thirty two, because I don't think
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: this is just about John Needing Needing to have a
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 3: lot of picks. I mean, another aspect of this is
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: do you feel there's anyone worth taking at thirty two?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Tony softly used to teach me all sorts of things
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: about the board that teams put together. And you don't
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 3: have thirty two players that you value as first rounders,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: it doesn't work that way. You pretty much have a
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: list of every team as probably thirteen thirteen to fifteen,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: thirteen to eighteen guys that they would take at number
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 3: thirty two, and some teams just have shorter lists. So
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: that might be a situation where John and Mike just
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: don't see anybody worth a first round selection, first round money,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: and if there's somebody that wants to trade up with them,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: that could be another incentive for moving down. That's my expectation,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: But who knows. If you get one of your thirteen
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: guys that you have on your board that has fallen
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: to you, then you stick and pick simple as that.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 8: Well, and they do always seem to have kind of
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 8: a different board, right, They've got to pick that maybe
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 8: other people have valued a lot lower, and that everybody does, Yeah,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 8: everybody does, and that they're they're looking at as a
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 8: steal to get with thirty two, so there's always that possibility.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't put it past them, but I would be
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 8: more surprised if they actually made the pick for sure.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 3: NFL Draft starts on April twenty third. We are less
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: than three weeks away from the first selection. The law
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: Us Vegas Raiders are on the clock and as of now,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: Seahawks scheduled to pick on date number one of the draft.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: Let's move on item number three on our eight itemode,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: show the Kraken. They were a blasted toward elimination last
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 3: night by the Utah Mammoth. The kail Serga chef sends
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: it into the far side. Now Jersey Takuley first shot knocked.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 11: Down, gutter got the rebound bud, he hit the cord,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 11: the puck went in.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: They're gonna wave it off.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: That will be goaltender interference. After coaches challenge, it was
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: determined that there was no goaltender interference.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 11: This is the goal, all right, so they'll count the
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 11: goal man. The Utah mammyth now a five to two lead,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 11: and that.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 10: Puts the remaining playoff hopes for the Cracking in dangerous jeopardy.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 10: With this goal and this game, how down five to
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 10: two and not getting any help with the standings here tonight.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: While you're national play by play guy, to be impartial,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: you don't want to ever feel like they're rooting for
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 3: the other team Joe Davis Dodgers, but your local guy.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: Not only do you want him to be good or
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: her to be good at describing the action, you want
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: to feel like they are going through the same emotional
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: realizations that you're going through. And I think Everett is
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: great at it. I think that that captured the moment.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: I remember the famous when I grew up in Sant Louis,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: the famous Jack buck Hall. Oh crazy, folks go crazy,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: because the place was going crazy. The Kirk Gibson, I
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: don't believe what I just saw. That home run was
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: him capturing the moment. That's what everybody was thinking at
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: the time, and that was from a national perspective, but
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: that's how we were all feeling at that moment, those
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: of us that are cracking fans and are feeling this
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: playoff berth slipped right through their fingers.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 8: I was actually in the booth when the goal got
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 8: when we had the goal and then they called ours
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: back for goalie interference.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: And so it was like, oh, here we go.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 9: It's a goal.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's gonna get called back.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 8: So then to have it where we all think, oh,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 8: that goal is going to get called back for goalie
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 8: interference and then it doesn't.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: It was like extra deflating.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 8: It was like someone took a voodoo doll and just
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 8: was stabbing it with lots of needles.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: Ah boy, I would have checked every Utah Mammoth fans pockets.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I should have.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: You know, they are slippery, those those uts. The call
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: right here on your flagship sports radio ninety three point
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: three KJRFM. It was painful. Jordan Everley scored within the
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: first minute of the game for the crack and Bobby
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: McMahon scored another goal. I think he scored a goal
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: every single night. He's worn a Kracking sweater. But despite
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: the early two nothing lead, Kracken couldn't hold it and
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: they lost it spectacularly. Twenty one year old star Logan
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: Cooley scored the next two goals of the game, spark
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: a run of six unanswered goals for the Mammoth six,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 3: and that was pretty much all she wrote. Utah sixth
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: Seattle to the losses the seventh and eight games for
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: a cracking team that has been long on the playoff
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: bubble and maybe not anymore cracking. Are four points back
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: of a playoff spot, but four points back of three
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: different teams for the eighth and final playoff spot, and
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: Winnipeg has jumped them here in the last couple of days.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: So they got four teams between them and the last
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: playoff spot, and they're four points back of three different
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: teams to have all of them collapse the way they're
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: gonna need to and for the krack and not only
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: to win, but to pull themselves out of this quagmire
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: of losing and then get on the necessary streak. Ashley,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: it just feels like it's done.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like it would take a miracle.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 8: And we have seen them go on losing streaks and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 8: winning streaks, true, I mean, and we you know, I
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 8: was trying to find the positive and that they got
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 8: a couple points here and there over the last few games,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 8: But you need more than.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: A couple points.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 8: They would have to have basically one of their best
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: winning streaks ever and just shut everybody down.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: And I just don't know if this team has it
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: in them.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: Well, they do. I think maybe getting the winning streak
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: might be the achievable aspect of it. But when you
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: have to pair it with everybody else, not just one team,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: but everybody else crumbling down the stretch while you're winning
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: everything down the stretch, it looks very, very bleak for
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: the Krakens playoff chances at this point. But hey, you
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: got to start with one game at a time. They'll
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: play the Chicago Blackhawks tomorrow at seven o'clock Climate Pledge Arena,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: and you can hear the action on Sports Radio ninety
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: three point three KJRFM. It is tomorrow, right, yes, Saturday, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: all right, next up on the Oh Show. Also tomorrow,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: the Final Four will be held and you can hear
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: that on nine point fifty am here on the KJR
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: family of radio stations. It will start with Illinois versus
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: Yukon at three o'clock, and everybody's rooting for Illinois, right,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're not from Connecticut, you don't want
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: Yukon to win. I'm sure, So go grab yourself something orange, yep.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: Put it on, you know, for Chuck's home state, and
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: let's see if we can't shut Dan Hurley up a
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: little bit. As for Hurley himself, of course he's talking.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: He's talking about Zoom winning a championship right now.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: We came here for rings, not watches. You know.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 9: Everyone that comes in front four gets a beautiful watch,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 9: you know, but only one.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: Only one group's going to get a ring, you know.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 9: So get off social media, stop injecting the dopamine into
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: your arm, and get serious about the preparation and the practice.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: Because we don't hang banners for final fours at Yukon.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 9: We hang national championship banners.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: And if you want to hang a batter.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 9: You got to get your eyes off social media, get
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 9: your face out of the phone, and get locked in
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 9: on Illinois because you know, Illinois is one of the
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 9: best teams in the country and there as big a
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 9: threat to winning this tournament as any of the four teams.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: He's mostly unlikable, but there is no denying how good
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: a coach he is, and he's the one with championship
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: pedigree left in this tournament, and certainly as a guy
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 3: that still does root for Illinois. Brad Underwood has not
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: performed great in these matchups with big time coaches, but
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: he did knock off Kelvin Sampson a couple of games ago,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: and his team is playing really good basketball right now,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: and I do believe Ashley he will have the support
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: of the entire free world.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I think everybody outside of Connecticut is just
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 8: wearing as much orange, thinking orange thoughts, and sending all
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 8: their positive orange vibes Illinois's way.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: Michigan versus Arizona in game number two. They're calling it
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: one of the great basketball matchups of all time. In
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament. Illinois is favored by two and a half,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: which surprises me. Michigan is favored by two. Could we
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: get an all Big Ten matchup in the national title
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: game on Monday night? We shall see Quincy Pondexter is
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: gonna join us at nine. Of course, former UDUB Husky,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: current UDUB Husky coach and somebody who has had the
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: team with Danny Sprinkle to game plan for both these
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Big Ten teams. So we'll get his thoughts on the
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: final four and we'll get his thoughts on how far
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: away he thinks the Huskies are from being in this
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: moment as well. So we'll do that today at nine o'clock.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: Mariners are in Anaheim to take on the Angels, and yeah,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if we worry about Mike
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: Trout as much as we once did as Mariner fans,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: but we still gotta worry about the supernatural. We got
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: an angel, but the game is Socidy.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: She would not cut.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: It's impossible.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: She was good.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 12: Mel should start the game today.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: Mel's arm is gone.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: I don't care.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: He should start the game.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: Besides, he's not even on the active rush.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 7: The Angel pach just wait him, he'll be awesome.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: You're in trouble.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: We're in trouble, but I don't believe you, kid. I
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: want Tony Danza to start against US tonight.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: I actually would like that. That'd be great.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, give him the ball, give him the ball. I
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: don't think angels are what they used to be.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: I think, well, I think angels are what they used
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: But Tony Danza ain't we well, So I don't think
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 8: any angel is going to help him.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: Let's try it.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tonight marks the return of JP Crawford to the lineup,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: coming off a shoulder injury. He will start at shortstop
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: tonight to make room for JP. They've sent Ryan Bliss
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: down to Tacoma. It puts Leo Revos back in the
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: role that they originally had planned for Leo, and that
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: is a utility infield role. The Mariners off to a
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: three and four start, patiently awaiting their big three to
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: start hitting. Rodriguez and Naylor are a combined seven for
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: seventy eight through seven games this year, and none of
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: them have hit a home run. Brian will gets the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: start for the Mariners. Left hander Reed Detmers will pitch
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: for the Angels. First pitch is at six thirty eight.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: But it really is about the return of JP Crawford.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: And I won't get into another long speech about JP,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: like A detailed a little bit earlier in the show,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: but I'll just say this, I'm rooting for JP. I
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: want JP to hold on to this job, remain our shortstop.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 3: I want us to win the World Series, and JP
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: Crawford catches a pop up to close the season and
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: then the celebration begins. I would like nothing more than
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: that scenario to unfold. That said, Cole Emerson's on the come,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: and JP Crawford's got to be more than just somebody
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: that can field routine ground balls. He needs to be
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: better than that. I need JP to be the good
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: version of JP Crawford for most of the rest of
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: the season. Otherwise I'm taking him out of the lineup.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, we got to see more.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, six thirty eight, First pitch tonight in Anaheim. Meanwhile,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: speaking of Colt Emerson, Jerry Depoto was on the radio
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: station last night with David Softy Maller and Nick Fain
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: and was talking about the decision earlier this week to
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: sign a prospect who's not faced one major league pitcher
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: in a major league game, to an eight year, ninety
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: five million dollars deal. Here's Jerry.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 13: Well, first, I would say, you know, our collective belief
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 13: is that he's just a tremendous player, and we've seen
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 13: with each step that he's doing things at very young
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 13: ages versus advanced competition that stand out, and he.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Does a little bit of everything.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 13: You know, There's there's nothing that blows you away when
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 13: you first look at Colt. You know, and then you
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 13: sit there and you watch a week's worth of games
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 13: and you walk away thinking, this guy is a really
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 13: good hitter. He is a he's got burgeoning power, he
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 13: plays really good defense, and you say really good so much,
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 13: and then you recognize that he's only twenty years old,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 13: and you know, really good at twenty has a chance
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 13: to turn into something better than really good by the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 13: time we get into what should be the most impactful
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 13: ages of his career, which we now know will likely
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 13: be spent with the Seattle marriage, which is exciting.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: Entire conversation available to you on soft Indix podcast ninety
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: three to three kjar dot com. A lot of interesting
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 3: stuff from the President Jerry Depoto about Colt Emerson and
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: many other subjects as well. I realize a lot of
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: people are a little bothered by this deal. He hasn't
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: proven anything. He's had no opportunity to prove anything at
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: the major league level. We've talked about it all week long.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: I'll just hammer the point home that I've been making.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: I actually think it's a steal. And I realized that
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: Evan White blew up in their face. And I realized
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: that they also thought about doing this with Jared Kelnick,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: and that would have blown up in their face. But
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: I also believe that the organization, John Stanton's ownership the
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: front office has figured out a few things about themselves
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: over the years, and I think they've matured as a group,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: and I don't see this as the same potential mistake
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: as those ended up being or potentially being, So I
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: like this, and based on the way salaries are going
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: through the roof and the sport right now, I think
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: this will end up looking like a steal for the Mariners.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: Really do.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I'm excited for it.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 8: I mean, as I have mentioned, I can understand the
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 8: immediate hesitation or immediate thought to the Evan White situation,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 8: but totally different situation, and I'm excited.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: The number one prospect and all of Major League Baseball
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: is a nineteen year old phenom named Connor Griffin, and
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 3: he is making his big league debut tonight for the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Pirates and their home opener for twenty twenty six
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: against the Baltimore Orioles. It's not tonight, it's today at
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: I think one o'clock. So that's a big store in baseball.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: As Connor Griffin, who a lot of people are comparing
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: to Alex Rodriguez shortstop for the Pirates, is getting ready
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: to make his debut.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: Item number just less douchey.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think is yeah, I think you can
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: count on that.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 2: That's all we can ask.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 3: And then item number seven, Sounders in action tomorrow against
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: the Houston Dynamo Founders fans jamming out to that song
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: with your scarves on and your craft beers in your
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 3: hands and your I love Jackson Felts t shirts that
• 1:25:30

  Speaker 2: What a lovely community. I love it.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: Sounders off to a three to one and one start,

• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: the Mariners coming up next. If you didn't hear Angie
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: Minzink's explanation as to why our big three are in
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: a slump, then maybe you'd be interested. We're going to
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: replace some of that next for you on Sports Radio

• 1:26:11

• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: hewed Off, the hard nosed rain man.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: I think I have a lot of thoughts, A lot
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: of thoughts.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: He Cutoff doesn't hit well.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 8: Actually, do because now that I say it out loud,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 8: it sounds not great.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: Doesn't sound great, Hudolph does not sound great.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: Sounds kind of like a former German leader.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, well we shall stay away from those, that's for sure.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: That wouldn't go over well. No, Now with the sponsors

• 1:27:20
  Speaker 12: lot of these games and wishing we were there.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, let's start with that, like,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: what will it takes, what's missing in the program, what
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: steps need to be taken in your estimation. It kind
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: of feels they think, the Husky fans like, we're a
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 3: long way away from this. But you know, you make
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: the right move or two in the offseason, and you
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: can close that gap pretty quickly in the sport of
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 3: college basketball. So what would Quincy Pondexter tell our listening
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: audience is gonna be the secret for the Huskies to
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: get from point A to the final four.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 12: If anyone thinks that we're further away or a long
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 12: way away, they're they're sadly mistaken. You know, going into
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 12: this year and last year and the talent that we
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 12: had just watching the game and knowing our team if
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 12: you really did your research, we got hurt. We had
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 12: we had a terrible injury bug. We had a lot
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 12: of misfortune with not even having what would presumptively be
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 12: our starting lineup, didn't even play a game together, maybe
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 12: played one game together the whole season. So you know,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 12: with the ball bouncing our way a few more times,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 12: and you know, not you know, having bad luck and injuries,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 12: it costs us. But you know, to win the amount
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 12: of games that we did this year and to be
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 12: so close to being in that top seven, eight nine
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 12: in our conference, which we were really close to doing
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 12: and uh we would have been in an NCAA tournament.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 12: So you could get two ways, you know, as a fan,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 12: you could you could really you know, up your support,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 12: or you could be negative about it. But at the
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 12: end of the day, we're working our tails off and
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 12: we're going to have a lot of success whether you
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 12: love it or like.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: It or not.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: Quincy Pondexter is with us right here on Chuck and
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: Buck in the mornings, and what is it like to
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: be competing for this goal that four teams, only four
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: teams in the country, they're going to get the crack
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 3: at this Saturday and to be on the sideline? So
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: what kind of how difficult is it when you're competing
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: in this arena and you're not one of those four.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 12: Well, it's it's extremely difficult. Like, you know, you've got
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 12: to tip your cap off to those teams that have
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 12: made it, you know, whether they did a great job
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 12: of recruiting, having good health, or just raising the amount
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 12: of money that it takes to win at that championship level.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 12: You know, you got to tip your hat off to them,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 12: and you strive to be that you know. I think
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 12: that's something that we all have done as a staff
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 12: is just really buckle down, hunker down, and trying to
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 12: figure out a way how we get to a final four,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 12: how do we get back to any tournament, how do
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 12: we make Husky Nation proud again?
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 3: Former Husky and current Husky coach Quincy pondexter our guest
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 3: here this morning on Chuck and Buck in the morning's
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: talking a little college basketball, and I'll let you be
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: sort of our studio analyst here on these matchups this weekend.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: You had to face two of these teams during the
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: regular season that are in the Final four. Let's start
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 3: with Illinois. What made them so good this year?
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 12: Illinois is really really good team. I think what makes
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 12: them good is they play with the unselfishness. I think
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 12: does all of their guys know what they are as
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 12: a player, and they're excessionally coached. They did a great
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 12: job of being guys that played professionally overseas and which
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 12: are a lot of them are foreign and they did
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 12: a great job of finding a diamond the rough and
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 12: Keton Wogler and the way that they moved the ball,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 12: the way that they're to shoot one through five and
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 12: sometimes their positionless in how they play and just their
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 12: side the defensive to enacity. They're really formidable to win
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 12: a national championship, and there's no surprise that they're there
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 12: or again, our conference is are tough. Like a team
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 12: like Purdue, who was picked to finish there was a
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 12: number one preseason team in the country. They finished seventh
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 12: in our conference, which wasn't too far from us. But
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 12: Illinois was one of those teams that we watched all
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 12: year that we always said, like, man, I don't know
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 12: why people aren't talking about them more. They could really
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 12: win a national championship with full health.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: It's interesting what you said in your analysis there, because
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: it's kind of the point that I was making earlier.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're never that far away from it clicking,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 3: you said, because Illinois did find a diamond in the
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: rough in Keaton Woggler, and then they also have tapped
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: into this pipeline in Eastern Europe. I mean, those two
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: moves by Brad Underwood are the difference between them being
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 3: a good team and a great team. And here they
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: are in the final four right now. I mean, you're
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: only those couple moves away, you know, finding some little
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: reservoir to tap into to create a pipeline from your
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: program to that area, and then trying to find some
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: diamond in the rough to compliment you're already you know,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: the recruiting class that you've been working on. It really
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: is just a hop, skip and a jump quincy from
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: going from mediocrity to being in the final four.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 12: Yeah, absolutely, yea. You know, again, it seemed like Nebraska,
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 12: who people thought was dead in the water, didn't have
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 12: them too high on their preseason analysis, and you know,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 12: they had an unbelievable year and went twenty games while
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 12: losing and you know, to Fred Hoiberg and staff did
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 12: an amazing job. But again people probably had them dead too,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 12: So you know, it's a cool feeling to be doubted
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 12: and it makes us not be able to sleep at
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 12: night and make has worked even extra hard to prove
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 12: a lot and they sayers wrong.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know Illinois better than you do. You kon
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: having faced them during the regular season, But do you
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: have a good feel for whether or not Illinois will
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 3: get past them in the final four.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 12: I think I think Illinois has a great chance, but again,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 12: you cannot you can't bet against early in his in
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 12: his team. They compete, they don't quit, they don't give up.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 12: They've been through some adversity throughout the year, and you
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 12: know they're there. They're a team that's well oiled machine
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 12: right now and playing really great basketball. And so everybody
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 12: was inspired to see how they won the other day.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 12: And it's just really really cool sign to see in
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 12: college basketball that just anything can happen on any moment.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 12: You know, we'll see who had the better scouts this
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 12: week and who's going to take try to take what
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 12: await from each other. I think that's a big thing
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 12: going into week by week, is you know, assistant coaches,
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 12: head coaches, is the game plan going to work? Do
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 12: you guys watch enough film? Do you guys have all
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 12: their atos mapped out? Do you have all their side
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 12: out out of balance? Do you have you know, what
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 12: defensive changes do they make? Do they toss in at.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: One to three one?
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 12: Do they tossed in the press? Do they toss in
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 12: a two three zone? Do they trap? Sometimes, like all
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 12: those little things, you have to be so on point
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 12: and then in that moment of time, you know, do
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 12: the players execute to a high level? And so it's
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 12: a it's a lot that goes into it. It's not
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 12: just we roll the balls down and say go play basketball,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 12: which some people probably think we do. But there's a
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 12: lot of detail that goes into it. And that's where
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 12: the beauty of the game is no doubt.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: Quincy pondexter our guest, how strange is it still to
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: this day, even though we have had a couple of
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 3: years now to get used to it. But here you
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: have the other game. It's Arizona versus Michigan, and it's Michigan,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 3: who's Washington's conference rival, not Arizona, like you played.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Thought about that.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 12: That which is funny, Yeah, that is that is kind
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 12: of ironic. But you know, I think both teams, you know,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 12: most people are going to say that's the championship game
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 12: because both teams are top to bottom flawless. You know,
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 12: they have size debt, shooting, you know, young talent, like
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 12: old veterans. They just have it all. And so you know,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 12: from the years of playing Arizona and know what they're
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 12: all about to now playing against Michigan and you know,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 12: hopefully forming a Robert with them one of these days.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 12: But they're at the top, They're at the pinnacle of
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 12: this thing, and so both teams are are well oiled,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 12: they're well suited to be national champions and I really
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 12: look forward to watching that game.
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: Take me inside it a little bit. I mean, you
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: look at the what Michigan has done to get back
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: on top, and Arizona's been on top for so long,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: and even Gonzaga, you're in our state, just to have
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: created the powerhouse that they have. How much time does
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: a coaching staff for a major program like Washington spend
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: studying other programs, how they do it, how they assemble?
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you're just kind of trying to take
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: from everybody on how do we get there? Or is there?
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: And you don't have to reveal the team? Is there
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 3: a team that you know, coach sprinkle yourself others like,
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: we want to be like that program. We like the
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: way that they do things. Uh, they've provided us a
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: map to where we need to go. Does any of
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: that happen behind the scenes? Quincy?
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 12: Of course, you want to.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 1: Be like the best.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 12: You want to have your team be like Matt Painters
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 12: and Purdue and is of ancient state and you know,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 12: you want to be like the Arizonas who's you know,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 12: just the brand itself you see it and you just
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 12: think about all the great legacy of basketball. What's cool
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 12: about this game is now, as college coaches is you
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 12: don't have to like watch from afar with them, Like
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 12: you're in steadily study competition with them, and you're learning
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 12: and you're seeing what they're doing, and you see the
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 12: resources that they have, which is ninety percent of the
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 12: game right now. It's resources and support from the community.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 12: And so you really are in steady competition, whether it's
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 12: over recruits or you're seeing each other or you know,
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 12: in the portal, or you know what resources and facilities
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 12: or whatever it may be. So you know there's there's
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 12: always that out there. The funny thing about it is
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 12: like this this game isn't a level playing field at all.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: So you know, as much as you want.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 12: To say, all right, let's man, maybe we got to
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 12: be spend all of our time folks on having great
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 12: X and os our X and OSE could be ten
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 12: times better, but if you don't have other things, you know,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 12: how are you going to win? And so you know,
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 12: it's pretty cool to see and pretty cool to be
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 12: involved in it and learning and growing by the second.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 12: And I really really we admire a lot of these
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 12: coaches out there and what they're able to do. But
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 12: you know, hopefully one day we could Some teams are
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 12: looking at us, and teams are admiring us and what
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 12: what we put in. And I think Coach Sprinkle is
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 12: the guy. I think he's you know, spending a lot
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 12: of blessed, wet and tears to try to figure this
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 12: thing out for us. And again we're closer than further
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 12: if you know, we have that right mindset as a
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 12: as a fan base, you know, instead of you know,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 12: you can hold off on that negative tweet because that
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 12: negative tweet doesn't just go directed at whatever it goes at.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 12: Maybe a recruit sees it. Then a recruit might be
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 12: inclined to be like, ah, man, I don't know if
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 12: I go to that school because this guy behind a
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 12: computer or phone is saying whatever. So there's a you know,
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 12: there's a hunger to be better. I think there's a
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 12: hunger for us to have a lot of success, and
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 12: I believe we're going to get there.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the process. I think you gotta love
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: finding your process as well. You gotta be thoroughly invested
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: in that. Quincy Pondexter is our guest, So, who do
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: you like Arizona versus Michigan. I mean that is just
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: a battle of as you mentioned, like two just complete teams.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: Who comes out of that?
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: Do you think?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 12: Wow? I gotta go with our current current conference folk
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 12: in Michigan. I think they're they're really good. I think
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 12: they're this their stud size hopefully you know, Cadeo getting
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 12: sick doesn't hamper him too much. But and then their
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 12: loss of l J. Cason, who is a really good
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 12: player for them this year. But I think their stills
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 12: is very formidable. I think they're just a great team.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: So a big ten team will cut down the nets.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: You think.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 12: It's been a long time coming, right, Yeah?
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 12: So we got we got, we got two chances. It
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 12: would be really cool to see the Illinois Michigan final.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 12: Uh you know, I would really love that. And and
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 12: there's two teams I think we had a chance to beat.
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 12: And so when I say we're close, closer than further,
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 12: you know that's what I mean. So it's really cool
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 12: to see them have the success that they've had, and
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 12: we can't wait to lace them up against them again
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 12: next season.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 3: What was your favorite memory of an Arizona game when
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 3: you were a player, does anything stand out to you
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: about having to face them and that crowd or anything
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: like that when you played.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 12: I think my most one of my most plant memories.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 12: There's there's two of them. My freshman year, we played
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 12: against them and they were top I think they were
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 12: coming out of a Final four maybe or they were a
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 12: top team in our conference and in the country. And
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 12: as the freshman, I scored twenty one in the first
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 12: half and had twenty five for the game, and we
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 12: lost the close battle and I made a really cool move.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 12: I was probably like out of body experience, which is
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 12: always stick with me, and uh, I just know I
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 12: wanted that game so bad. And another one was my
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 12: senior year, playing against Derek Williams and those guys, and
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 12: it's a game that really just you know, solidified our
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 12: team that season and showed that, like, you know, we're
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 12: one of the best in the country, and uh, we're
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 12: able to use that to to make it to the
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 12: NCAA tournament and end up in the sweet sixteen.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: Do you ever show your players video of you or
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: the inside post moves of John Brockman. Do you ever
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 3: take the time to.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 12: Show that I show. I showed a lot more John
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 12: Brockman than uh, you know, I'm just I'm just coaching
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 12: now like that. I don't think they I don't think
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 12: they think I was ever good or anything. I'm just
• 1:41:46
