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