- 1:32Speaker 2: point three k TERRFM. And then Rob rang it two o'clock.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Let's go.
- 1:38Speaker 1: It's time for Egan's weekly visit with NFL Films. Greg Coso,
- 1:42Speaker 1: brought to you by Seattle Cider Company on your home
- 1:45Speaker 1: for the twelfth Man and the NFL Sports Radio ninety
- 1:49Speaker 1: three point three kjr FM.
- 1:53Speaker 2: All right, here we go. You know what we said
- 1:56Speaker 2: last week that was gonna be it, but I don't know. Somehow,
- 1:58Speaker 2: just been hanging out with Greg co sell all last
- 2:00Speaker 2: week at the Super Bowl and kind of shepherding him
- 2:03Speaker 2: around and stuff, convinced him to come back on one
- 2:05Speaker 2: more time this week. And I couldn't be happier to
- 2:07Speaker 2: wrap up the year, wrap up the Super Bowl, take
- 2:10Speaker 2: a quick look ahead as well for the Seahawks in
- 2:13Speaker 2: the offseason. And Greg co sil is here. How are you, sir?
- 2:17Speaker 5: And I'm doing great. I mean, it's hard to believe
- 2:19Speaker 5: the Super Bowl's over your Seahawks, the Super Bowl champions,
- 2:23Speaker 5: And you know, it's funny. A lot of people told
- 2:26Speaker 5: me that watching on TV, which I'm sure you did, Ian,
- 2:29Speaker 5: you know that and you obviously had an interest. But
- 2:31Speaker 5: a lot of people saying it was a boring game.
- 2:33Speaker 5: You know, when I watched the tape, which was on
- 2:35Speaker 5: Tuesday of this week, as I flew back from San
- 2:37Speaker 5: Francisco Monday, I thought, tactically it was a fascinating game. Now,
- 2:42Speaker 5: you know again, I know a lot of people like
- 2:43Speaker 5: touchdowns and scoring, but I thought it was a fascinating
- 2:46Speaker 5: game tactically.
- 2:47Speaker 2: I think everybody that said it was boring had someone
- 2:49Speaker 2: scoring the first touchdown, other than AJ Barner so or
- 2:52Speaker 2: had some prop bets going on for multiple touchdowns. I
- 2:55Speaker 2: thought the same thing, Greg. I mean, it's different because
- 2:58Speaker 2: if your team's in it, right, like if you're teams
- 3:00Speaker 2: in the super Bowl, I think if you ask Patriot fans,
- 3:02Speaker 2: it was excruciating. If you watch Seahawk fans, it was awesome.
- 3:06Speaker 2: If you're just an NFL fan and you had prop
- 3:09Speaker 2: bets and you had squares, and you had all the
- 3:11Speaker 2: other stuff that goes on, you wanted more scoring. And
- 3:13Speaker 2: I get that. But I'm glad you mentioned that because
- 3:15Speaker 2: I thought, you know, Ken Walker was the MVP, and
- 3:19Speaker 2: you know, you could make an argument for Witherspoon or
- 3:21Speaker 2: Hall or some others along the way. But Greg, let's
- 3:24Speaker 2: just talk about the real MVP, and that would be
- 3:26Speaker 2: Mike McDonald and what he did with that defense.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's really interesting. And obviously I've done
- 3:32Speaker 5: other shows this week, but the thing that you know,
- 3:35Speaker 5: I'm sure people in Seattle know this. They were not
- 3:37Speaker 5: a high percentage blitz defense this season relative to the
- 3:40Speaker 5: rest of the NFL. Obviously, I looked up a lot
- 3:44Speaker 5: of things after I watched the tape this week. Things
- 3:46Speaker 5: I already knew, but just to you know, reconfirm as
- 3:49Speaker 5: it were. You know, they were twenty seventh out of
- 3:52Speaker 5: thirty two teams in blitz percentage meaning thrushing five or
- 3:56Speaker 5: more so. And I'm not saying Josh McDaniel's unaware that
- 4:00Speaker 5: they might blitz. You know, Jess mccannals has been doing
- 4:02Speaker 5: this a long time. But sometimes you just can't pick
- 4:06Speaker 5: up pressures and you know, you still have a young
- 4:09Speaker 5: quarterback who's only in his second season. So you start
- 4:12Speaker 5: this game and you know, you get the second third
- 4:15Speaker 5: down on the first possession, which is third and nine,
- 4:19Speaker 5: and they go with a really wonderful blitz concept. I mean,
- 4:24Speaker 5: I thought that was you know, they they could not
- 4:27Speaker 5: pick up Witherspoon coming off the edge, and that was
- 4:31Speaker 5: the one where May ran out of the pocket and
- 4:32Speaker 5: threw it away on third and nine. But you know,
- 4:35Speaker 5: that was the second third down on the first possession,
- 4:38Speaker 5: so clearly that was game plan by Mike McDonald. And
- 4:41Speaker 5: then you go to third and fifteen on the second possession,
- 4:45Speaker 5: and that was the Witherspoon sack and that one was
- 4:48Speaker 5: beautiful as well, that that one they could not pick
- 4:51Speaker 5: up at all. Witherspoon was lined up over the slot.
- 4:54Speaker 5: He came from distance. He actually lined up with depth,
- 4:57Speaker 5: so you didn't necessarily think of him as a blitzer
- 5:00Speaker 5: at all. And in fact, they disguised it beautifully because
- 5:03Speaker 5: the safeties just they nothing about the way the safeties
- 5:06Speaker 5: lined up indicated that a blitz was coming. You know,
- 5:10Speaker 5: these two plays, you know, I'm not going to go
- 5:12Speaker 5: into the weeds because people, you know, would need to
- 5:14Speaker 5: see them. They're almost their breakdown kinds of plays. Like
- 5:17Speaker 5: if we were doing the Matchup Show this week, I
- 5:20Speaker 5: would do one of these plays in the Matchup Show
- 5:22Speaker 5: because they had so many cool elements to them. But
- 5:25Speaker 5: the larger point is is he came out on these
- 5:28Speaker 5: first two third and longs in the game and with
- 5:32Speaker 5: really well schemed, detailed pressure concepts, and I thought that
- 5:36Speaker 5: set the tone for the game because they did not
- 5:39Speaker 5: blitz a lot after that. The thing is, when they
- 5:42Speaker 5: did blitz, it was very effective. So people thought, oh
- 5:45Speaker 5: my god, they're blitzing all over the place. But they
- 5:47Speaker 5: did not blitz a lot. You know, they look at
- 5:50Speaker 5: the and Wosu forty five yard interception return where they
- 5:52Speaker 5: did blitz, and that that sort of made people think,
- 5:56Speaker 5: oh god, they're blitzing all game. But it was really
- 5:58Speaker 5: those two early in the game that I thought set
- 6:01Speaker 5: the tone.
- 6:01Speaker 2: For the game. If you listen to our show at
- 6:03Speaker 2: all this year with Greg, you know all that that
- 6:05Speaker 2: the blitz, right was a little We talked about that
- 6:06Speaker 2: last Friday. Greg was kind of something you expected. You
- 6:08Speaker 2: saw at the NFC Championship game, right, you saw it
- 6:11Speaker 2: an NFC title game. It's almost like he was just
- 6:14Speaker 2: kind of playing, you know, playing possum all year or something.
- 6:17Speaker 2: You know, at times Mike McDonald, right, he just kind
- 6:20Speaker 2: of he brings these guys out of the woodwork on
- 6:22Speaker 2: some of those Wooz packages. You know, a lot was
- 6:25Speaker 2: made about Will Campbell. I believe I'm gonna go back.
- 6:29Speaker 2: I believe you told us even in the draft process
- 6:31Speaker 2: last year you had some concerns about Will Campbell, right.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, he was a really good college player.
- 6:37Speaker 5: There's no getting around that. He was a three year
- 6:39Speaker 5: starter in the SEC, a really good college player. You know,
- 6:44Speaker 5: I'm not an offensive line guru, as you know. You know,
- 6:48Speaker 5: the argument and the debate about arm length, whether it's
- 6:51Speaker 5: a quarter of an inch or a half inch, I
- 6:53Speaker 5: don't you know, I've asked offensive line coaches, and I
- 6:56Speaker 5: get different answers, So I'm not going to get into that.
- 6:59Speaker 5: What I saw on and this is something that can
- 7:01Speaker 5: be fixed, is what I saw in film is he
- 7:04Speaker 5: he does two things. Number One, he's a vertical setter,
- 7:07Speaker 5: meaning he drops deep, so there's a lot of space
- 7:10Speaker 5: between him and the edge pass rusher, especially if the
- 7:13Speaker 5: edge pass rusher lines up a little wide. So what
- 7:15Speaker 5: does that mean. It means that the edge pass rusher
- 7:17Speaker 5: can generate speed in velocity because he's not being stopped
- 7:21Speaker 5: early in his get off. And the problem I thought
- 7:24Speaker 5: that Campbell had was that he was consistently late with
- 7:28Speaker 5: his hands. His strike timing was way off. So what
- 7:31Speaker 5: happens is if you're late with your hands, the rusher
- 7:35Speaker 5: gets inside of you. You could have the longest arms
- 7:38Speaker 5: in the world, and you can weigh five hundred pounds,
- 7:41Speaker 5: you know, but if people get inside of you, they're
- 7:43Speaker 5: going to.
- 7:44Speaker 6: Move you, you know.
- 7:45Speaker 5: And that's what happened throughout the playoffs. You know, obviously
- 7:49Speaker 5: he played some really good pass rushers, but you know what,
- 7:51Speaker 5: in the playoffs, you play really good pass rushers. That's
- 7:54Speaker 5: why they're in the playoffs. So again, I'm not, you know,
- 7:58Speaker 5: like I said, I've had this conversation with all coaches
- 8:00Speaker 5: and you know, different different responses, So we won't get
- 8:03Speaker 5: into that. But the point what I saw just from
- 8:06Speaker 5: a film perspective was Boyd just his strike timing was
- 8:09Speaker 5: consistently late.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think what a lot of people
- 8:12Speaker 2: saw too, was you know, a defense that was they
- 8:15Speaker 2: had their earspinned back, they knew what they wanted to do,
- 8:18Speaker 2: they executed perfectly. You mentioned the blitz, you know what
- 8:20Speaker 2: they were able to do in that regard and mix things.
- 8:22Speaker 2: If Derek Hall had two sacks all year, he had
- 8:24Speaker 2: two sacks in that game. Yeah, I mean, and power
- 8:27Speaker 2: sacks too. Like as you're describing that, I'm thinking of
- 8:30Speaker 2: him as watching the game and talking to you know,
- 8:32Speaker 2: the kids watching with me and stuff. They talked about that.
- 8:34Speaker 2: The fact that you know, he just got so much
- 8:37Speaker 2: did Derek Hall so much velocity, so much momentum going
- 8:40Speaker 2: at him and just strength wise bullied him back there,
- 8:42Speaker 2: and that can be fixing. Yeah, maybe let's look at
- 8:44Speaker 2: it from sea our perspective.
- 8:46Speaker 5: So go ahead, Can I just make two o you
- 8:48Speaker 5: know points about you, how Mike McDonald and how smart
- 8:51Speaker 5: this this plan was. You know, every team knows how
- 8:54Speaker 5: other teams pass protect and the Patriots under Josh McDaniels
- 8:59Speaker 5: are what we call aim my protection team, So he
- 9:03Speaker 5: messed around with that. You know, he knew that the quarterback.
- 9:08Speaker 5: I mean, people can remember Tom Brady constantly saying, you know,
- 9:12Speaker 5: fifty two is the mic, fifty whoever, whatever number it was,
- 9:14Speaker 5: that's the way that it's taught with Josh McDaniels. So
- 9:18Speaker 5: when you know that, you can mess around with who
- 9:21Speaker 5: the MIC is by alignment, and that can cause problems.
- 9:24Speaker 5: And obviously Drake May does not have the kind of
- 9:26Speaker 5: experience to handle that the way Tom Brady would handle it.
- 9:29Speaker 5: The other thing I thought was really really good is
- 9:32Speaker 5: I thought Ernest Jones was a key player in their
- 9:35Speaker 5: third down plan. A high percentage of the snaps he
- 9:39Speaker 5: lined up on the ball, whether it was in loaded fronts,
- 9:44Speaker 5: you know, which we've talked about, where you know, you're
- 9:48Speaker 5: lining up three defensive alignment to one side of the center,
- 9:52Speaker 5: and then Jones would line up on the ball opposite
- 9:54Speaker 5: that loaded front. So there were a ton of five
- 9:57Speaker 5: man fronts, which dictates protections. So they just did a
- 10:02Speaker 5: I thought Mike McDonald did really an amazing job of
- 10:06Speaker 5: dictating protections with his front looks, understanding how the Patriots
- 10:11Speaker 5: protecting the Josh McDaniels system, and you know, like I said,
- 10:16Speaker 5: they didn't blitz all game, but they started a game
- 10:19Speaker 5: doing this, and I thought it just really set the tone.
- 10:22Speaker 2: You know, I was thinking, I'm talking offensive line. I
- 10:24Speaker 2: think in over the years, we've had some a lot
- 10:25Speaker 2: of conversations, you and I over talking about Charles Cross
- 10:28Speaker 2: and how much this guy's improved during his time with Seattle.
- 10:32Speaker 2: So you know, guys can get better in the league.
- 10:33Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. I want to throw yeah, right,
- 10:36Speaker 2: you know about and no doubt about it?
- 10:38Speaker 7: All right?
- 10:38Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we're not good. We're not saying you mentioned
- 10:40Speaker 5: Will Campbell. We're not going to sit here and say
- 10:42Speaker 5: Will Campbell's never going to be I don't do that
- 10:44Speaker 5: kind of stuff. You know that, And you know this
- 10:46Speaker 5: whole thing's a processed Guys can kind of improve too.
- 10:49Speaker 5: He's twenty one years old.
- 10:50Speaker 2: I thought the narrative was more like, boy Campbell was
- 10:52Speaker 2: awful as opposed to Seattle was good. I thought Seattle
- 10:55Speaker 2: was really good and Campbell struggled against the good team.
- 10:56Speaker 2: As you mentioned, you see that in the postseason. I
- 10:58Speaker 2: want to throw a guy out there. This is where
- 11:00Speaker 2: I give Greg Cosell kudos because we talked about another
- 11:04Speaker 2: guy we've talked about a lot over the last couple
- 11:07Speaker 2: of years. Really, Greg is Ken Walker. In the end,
- 11:11Speaker 2: twenty seven carries for one thirty five, two catches for
- 11:13Speaker 2: twenty seven yards as well, and you know, with Charbonay
- 11:16Speaker 2: being hurt, they had to go to Walker and lean
- 11:19Speaker 2: heavily on him, and he came through named the MVP
- 11:22Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. Greg, I feel like you and
- 11:24Speaker 2: I have been vindicated along with a guy by the
- 11:26Speaker 2: name of Hugh Mill and we've been wanting more Ken
- 11:28Speaker 2: Walker for a long time. We finally got it and
- 11:30Speaker 2: he came through.
- 11:32Speaker 5: Just before I say what I thought of Walker, I
- 11:35Speaker 5: thought the center Sundal had an exceptionally good game. And
- 11:38Speaker 5: you know, normally we talked, like you said, we talk
- 11:40Speaker 5: about offensive tackles a lot, but I thought that Sundal
- 11:43Speaker 5: had a really strong game. So anyway, talking about Walker,
- 11:47Speaker 5: I thought he ran really well and I thought what
- 11:49Speaker 5: he did was First of all, I was surprised they
- 11:52Speaker 5: got the edge as much as they did. We talked
- 11:54Speaker 5: about that last week. I didn't think they'd be able
- 11:56Speaker 5: to do that. I was on a call with a
- 11:59Speaker 5: Jay Gruden and he made the point that they just
- 12:00Speaker 5: don't have big people on the edge. So even if
- 12:03Speaker 5: they try to set the edge with guys like Landering
- 12:05Speaker 5: and Chase On, they're just not big people. So they
- 12:08Speaker 5: but so they didn't really set the edge well because
- 12:11Speaker 5: we saw Walker, I mean, first play of the game,
- 12:13Speaker 5: he got the edge, but I thought that he showed
- 12:15Speaker 5: calculated patients and when you show that kind of patience
- 12:19Speaker 5: and you manipulate second level defenders, and I thought then
- 12:23Speaker 5: the vision was phenomenal to hit the open gap. We
- 12:26Speaker 5: know he's got burst in acceleration. He had five runs
- 12:30Speaker 5: of ten plus yards. Forty three percent of his yards
- 12:33Speaker 5: came before first contact. So the O line did a
- 12:36Speaker 5: great job as well. But I just saw back that
- 12:39Speaker 5: I thought ran with the kind of patients that has
- 12:43Speaker 5: not really been his mo through much of his career.
- 12:46Speaker 5: This to me was as good as he's ever run,
- 12:49Speaker 5: and obviously it was in the biggest game of his career.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Well, I want to look ahead a little bit in
- 12:54Speaker 2: a second before I do that great cosale join us
- 12:56Speaker 2: courtesy The Sales Sider. Okay, before we do that, just
- 12:58Speaker 2: one final thing I want to talk about the Seahawks
- 13:00Speaker 2: passing game. Cooper couple leads away six catches for sixty
- 13:03Speaker 2: one yards, Jackson, Smith and Jig, but didn't do much
- 13:06Speaker 2: in terms of stats. Four for twenty seven Donald nineteen
- 13:09Speaker 2: to thirty eight, two h two, one touchdown, no interceptions,
- 13:11Speaker 2: and I guess that's the biggest thing. Sam Donald goes
- 13:14Speaker 2: to the last half of the last few few weeks
- 13:16Speaker 2: of the season, playoffs, without an interception, without a turnover
- 13:20Speaker 2: in the playoffs. What did you see from number fourteen
- 13:22Speaker 2: for Seattle.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Well, don't forget they played a team that is really
- 13:26Speaker 5: good on defense and the Patriots, and the Patriots were
- 13:29Speaker 5: high percentage blitz. They rushed five or more on twenty
- 13:31Speaker 5: three with Donald's forty dropbacks, so you know this team attacked.
- 13:36Speaker 5: They attacked. Now, the Seahawks, what they did a really
- 13:39Speaker 5: good job of, I thought was pre snap movement. They
- 13:42Speaker 5: did more pre snap movement in this game than what
- 13:44Speaker 5: their season average was. You know, the play that really
- 13:47Speaker 5: reflected that, because it was early in the fourth quarter,
- 13:49Speaker 5: was the Barnard touchdown where they put him in motion.
- 13:52Speaker 5: Everything about the play looked like outside zone, which they
- 13:55Speaker 5: had run multiple times in the game, as you know,
- 13:57Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden it wasn't outside zone.
- 14:00Speaker 5: And Gibbons, the linebacker was responsible for barner and coverage,
- 14:03Speaker 5: and he just attacked downhill because he saw outside zone,
- 14:06Speaker 5: you know. And it was a beautiful call in that moment.
- 14:10Speaker 5: But you know, Donald, what I've been saying all week
- 14:13Speaker 5: is Donald played that game the way the game demanded
- 14:16Speaker 5: to be played. Now, I thought he missed a few,
- 14:18Speaker 5: you know, and if he had hit those, we would
- 14:21Speaker 5: have had a bigger score and it would have been
- 14:22Speaker 5: even more theoretically of a blowout. But he played that
- 14:26Speaker 5: game the way it demanded to be played. There was
- 14:28Speaker 5: no need to force throws. There was no need to
- 14:31Speaker 5: try to play hero ball. Just let the game play out.
- 14:34Speaker 5: Throw a check down if need be, try to stay
- 14:37Speaker 5: ahead of the sticks. Look, they controlled the ball for
- 14:39Speaker 5: thirty three minutes. Yet they weren't very good on third down,
- 14:42Speaker 5: so normally that doesn't happen that way. But they were
- 14:45Speaker 5: able to maintain possession of the football. Now, their defense
- 14:48Speaker 5: had a lot to do with that as well. But
- 14:51Speaker 5: I thought, you know, look, yeah, I love listening to
- 14:54Speaker 5: Tom Brady when he does games. And you know, I
- 14:57Speaker 5: said this phrase earlier in the week, and I'm not
- 14:58Speaker 5: going to take credit for it because I believe it's
- 15:00Speaker 5: a Matt Hasselback phrase. But Matt Hasselback said that don't
- 15:04Speaker 5: use the term game manager, use the term game commander
- 15:09Speaker 5: because game manager sounds negative, game commander sounds positive. And
- 15:13Speaker 5: I thought that's the way Donald played this game. He
- 15:16Speaker 5: was a game commander. It didn't require him to throw
- 15:19Speaker 5: for three hundred and eighty yards. It wasn't necessary, you know,
- 15:22Speaker 5: So that's there's nothing wrong with that.
- 15:25Speaker 2: No, exactly great because so as all right, look at
- 15:27Speaker 2: it a little bit. I know one thing you're not
- 15:29Speaker 2: going to do is tell us what John Schneider and
- 15:31Speaker 2: the Seahawks should do in the offseason. But I want
- 15:33Speaker 2: your opinion on a couple of players, because it's a
- 15:35Speaker 2: they have some they only have four draft picks as
- 15:37Speaker 2: it stands right now. We'll go yeah, yeah. Two of
- 15:40Speaker 2: them went with the Rashid Shiheed trade, which we assume sheh'd.
- 15:43Speaker 2: We're making an assumption they're going to resign him. That's
- 15:45Speaker 2: kind of the Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones kind of way
- 15:48Speaker 2: they go with it, because you know, they bring these
- 15:50Speaker 2: guys in the offseason, they resign them, and they did
- 15:53Speaker 2: that with Jones and Williams. We think that's going to happen.
- 15:56Speaker 2: Big question. Top of the list. Ken Walker Love Love
- 15:59Speaker 2: is the only first round for the most part, guys,
- 16:02Speaker 2: you know, first round level draft pick for running backs
- 16:05Speaker 2: coming out. I know you haven't got too deep into
- 16:07Speaker 2: that yet, but ken Walker, what we saw in the
- 16:10Speaker 2: Super Bowl, Charbonet is hurt. The number may be there,
- 16:14Speaker 2: they may have to try to franchise him, but you know,
- 16:16Speaker 2: when you look at ken Walker, how important is he
- 16:18Speaker 2: for Seattle in terms of this offense if they want
- 16:20Speaker 2: to bring him back.
- 16:22Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's really important to the offense
- 16:24Speaker 5: because this offense starts with the run game. You know,
- 16:27Speaker 5: as you look, the reason it starts with the run
- 16:30Speaker 5: game too is because of the amount of under center
- 16:32Speaker 5: play action, which is foundational to this offense, and you know,
- 16:36Speaker 5: so everything works off of that. So he's a really
- 16:39Speaker 5: important player. Charbone is certainly not that kind of player.
- 16:42Speaker 5: He had a great year and he's certainly valuable, but
- 16:45Speaker 5: he may he's I don't know whether he'd be ready
- 16:47Speaker 5: early on anyway, and he's not a feature back. He's
- 16:49Speaker 5: a really good compliment. So you know, you need it
- 16:53Speaker 5: back in this offense.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Now.
- 16:55Speaker 5: I don't usually follow the contract numbers in so I
- 16:58Speaker 5: don't know what that means. I don't know if another
- 17:01Speaker 5: team's going to pay him big, big dollars and John
- 17:03Speaker 5: Schneind are simply going to say, you know what, we
- 17:05Speaker 5: can't do that. I don't know. I don't know that.
- 17:07Speaker 5: All I'm saying from a football perspective the way this
- 17:11Speaker 5: offense is structured, because well it's not Koopiak anymore. So
- 17:14Speaker 5: that's another question, because they don't they don't have an
- 17:16Speaker 5: offensive coordinator.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Right now, right right, right, yeah, yeah, but.
- 17:20Speaker 5: They've got they've got a name one. And my assumption
- 17:23Speaker 5: would be they would try to stay in that family,
- 17:26Speaker 5: you know, because you don't want to start all over now,
- 17:29Speaker 5: because you know, people don't realize how hard that is.
- 17:32Speaker 5: So you want to try to stay in that family,
- 17:34Speaker 5: and in that family, you need a running back.
- 17:37Speaker 2: And it's hard. Like we just just talked about, Walker
- 17:40Speaker 2: took a while to get to the point where he's
- 17:41Speaker 2: at right now. Even Sharbonay took a while to get
- 17:43Speaker 2: to the point where he's at before he got hurt.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Two other guys I want to ask you about, and
- 17:48Speaker 2: maybe even three, but let me just start. Both Josh
- 17:51Speaker 2: Job and Riek Wollen are free agents and it just
- 17:55Speaker 2: feels like they're not going to be able to sign
- 17:57Speaker 2: both of them. Yes, if you're looking at those two guys,
- 18:00Speaker 2: which of those two guys do you think is a
- 18:01Speaker 2: more integral part of what Mike McDonald wants to do.
- 18:04Speaker 5: Well, that's a hard call because I because Wolan, there's
- 18:07Speaker 5: not a lot of guys with Woolan's just pure athletic traits.
- 18:10Speaker 5: You know, he's been up and down. I thought he
- 18:13Speaker 5: played much better this year, particularly in the last half
- 18:16Speaker 5: of the season. As you know, he's had his ups
- 18:18Speaker 5: and downs in Seattle. Joe, I've always liked Job. He
- 18:22Speaker 5: gets beat once in a while, but he's an aggressive,
- 18:24Speaker 5: physical corner boy. You know, Joe played a lot more
- 18:30Speaker 5: snaps in the Super Bowl than Wolan, which kind of
- 18:32Speaker 5: surprised me because leading up to the Super Bowl Woolan
- 18:34Speaker 5: had been playing more snaps. So obviously, you know, again
- 18:37Speaker 5: that was a Mike McDonald decision and that's what they felt.
- 18:40Speaker 5: But you're right though, they're not going to be able
- 18:43Speaker 5: to sign both. I don't know. There's something about job
- 18:46Speaker 5: that I personally like based on his tape. I can
- 18:49Speaker 5: only give you my personal opinion. Doesn't make me right,
- 18:51Speaker 5: but I really like Joe. Who else could as a
- 18:55Speaker 5: free agent on this team.
- 18:56Speaker 2: The other guy I want to ask you about they
- 18:58Speaker 2: got a handful. The other guy want to ask you
- 18:59Speaker 2: about it is Kobe Bryant.
- 19:01Speaker 5: See that's the problem when you win, and you know,
- 19:03Speaker 5: I mean.
- 19:04Speaker 2: Tyo Cotta is restricted by the way, so like they
- 19:07Speaker 2: can they can get keep him. Tyocotta is back that
- 19:10Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant's back that they can keep him easier because
- 19:12Speaker 2: he's not a UFA, but he is a free agent.
- 19:14Speaker 5: I don't know, you know. See the thing I don't know,
- 19:17Speaker 5: which is hard, is I don't know what the market
- 19:19Speaker 5: is going to be for these guys because we're not
- 19:21Speaker 5: talking about like superstars. You know, it's not like Gee
- 19:24Speaker 5: JSN is a free agent, you know, And yeah it's
- 19:28Speaker 5: and ideally they wouldn't let him get to that point anyway.
- 19:30Speaker 5: But the point I'm making is Kobe Bryant, I don't
- 19:33Speaker 5: know how other teams and you know, other organizations would
- 19:36Speaker 5: see him. Is someone going to offer him a ton
- 19:38Speaker 5: of money. Now again, I thought Tyo Kata played really
- 19:41Speaker 5: really well when he had to play. Obviously he was
- 19:44Speaker 5: playing for love, not not for Brian. But I thought
- 19:46Speaker 5: Okanna played really really well. So you know, they they
- 19:50Speaker 5: could look at that and feel like, you know what,
- 19:52Speaker 5: we have a guy who can line up and play.
- 19:55Speaker 5: So but you're right, they're not going to be able
- 19:57Speaker 5: to keep everybody. That does not happen with Super Bowl Chamin. Well,
- 20:00Speaker 5: it really doesn't happen with any team if you have
- 20:02Speaker 5: a meaningful number of free agent starters.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Well, and that's happened with Seattle when they won it.
- 20:07Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the Byron Maxwell's Deron Johnson's Chris
- 20:10Speaker 2: Maragos is, you know, Malcolm Smith, all these guys and
- 20:13Speaker 2: Golden Tates, all these guys started leaving because they got paid.
- 20:16Speaker 2: They came off a Super Bowl championship and they made
- 20:18Speaker 2: some money, and good for them, and they know that
- 20:20Speaker 2: along the way. I know this, I'm off next week.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I won't talk to you next week, and I'm gonna
- 20:26Speaker 2: let you get sink your teeth into combine and college
- 20:30Speaker 2: tape and all of that, and then we're gonna check
- 20:31Speaker 2: back with you.
- 20:33Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I've been watching It's twelve receivers already. I'm
- 20:37Speaker 5: the last couple of days I started watching some defense.
- 20:39Speaker 5: I've looked at Ohio State's defense, Texas Tech defense. You know,
- 20:43Speaker 5: I hate these defenses that have too many guys and
- 20:45Speaker 5: it's just it's it's you know, it's fun, but it's
- 20:48Speaker 5: no fun.
- 20:48Speaker 7: I love.
- 20:49Speaker 2: But that's that's our guy that we can already knee
- 20:51Speaker 2: deep into tape for colleges. So we'll give you a
- 20:53Speaker 2: couple weeks off for securing a new sponsor for you.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Big thanks to Seattle Sider as they get bought up
- 20:57Speaker 2: by two towns and you can still check those guys
- 20:59Speaker 2: out out, but big thanks to them over the last
- 21:01Speaker 2: few years as they leave our market. But we'll find
- 21:04Speaker 2: a new sponsor for Greg. I got a couple ideas.
- 21:06Speaker 2: We've got some stuff out there, and we will check
- 21:08Speaker 2: back in with you draft time here in the next
- 21:09Speaker 2: couple weeks. My friend, Thank you.
- 21:11Speaker 5: Brandy, and thanks so much. You know, I enjoy it.
- 21:13Speaker 5: It's great to be with you.
- 21:14Speaker 2: We love it too. We love talking about a super
- 21:16Speaker 2: Bowl with great co sale. That's only happened a couple
- 21:18Speaker 2: times since We've been doing this twice to be exact,
- 21:20Speaker 2: so and we'll do it again. That's great co sale.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Coming back. Next, we'll check in with Gary Parrish, our
- 21:27Speaker 2: first visit of the year talking college hoops.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Next, it's time for our weekly look at college basketball

- 22:35Speaker 2: Oh man, let's go. We got and we're gonna probably
- 22:37Speaker 2: do this on Fridays for a while. Then, of course
- 22:39Speaker 2: we get to that first week of the tournament, we
- 22:41Speaker 2: might have to switch it up with Gary. But excited
- 22:43Speaker 2: to have him back for another year. Big thanks to
- 22:45Speaker 2: John and Cindy had a no Lie Brewing if you
- 22:46Speaker 2: look for at your local grocery store here on the

- 22:53Speaker 2: them and their support of all things college basketball. Gary Parrish,
- 22:58Speaker 2: I'm want to use this time and we'll just we
- 23:00Speaker 2: got a big game this weekend. I got to ask
- 23:02Speaker 2: you about mc cronin playing in the Pacific Times. So
- 23:04Speaker 2: we have a little bit we do on the show.
- 23:05Speaker 2: We have a little bit to do on the show.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Here we go, mccron it has always complaining about, so
- 23:08Speaker 2: we'll get to that in a second. To wrap things up,
- 23:11Speaker 2: this is probably our our one oh one, because you
- 23:14Speaker 2: love this. I got a text this week on our
- 23:16Speaker 2: text line and someone says, I said, hey, I think
- 23:19Speaker 2: Gary Paris is coming on later this week. We'll start weeklies.
- 23:21Speaker 2: And someone said, that's awesome because I'm going to go
- 23:23Speaker 2: from my football thing of going we're studying all twenty
- 23:26Speaker 2: two's and dvoa's and all that. So now all of
- 23:28Speaker 2: a sudden, Gary's back. That means we got to start
- 23:30Speaker 2: worried about Quad one, Quad two and Quad three and
- 23:32Speaker 2: Quad four wins and losses. And that's what we're going
- 23:34Speaker 2: to do today. Gary, how's that sound.
- 23:36Speaker 7: I'm ready for whatever you want. I mean, it is
- 23:39Speaker 7: a fun time of the year, you know. When I
- 23:41Speaker 7: noticed just from my own personal experiences, and not just
- 23:44Speaker 7: with the Seattle market, but like any market in America,
- 23:47Speaker 7: it picks up. The number of requests you get to
- 23:51Speaker 7: come on and be a guest picks up dramatically after
- 23:54Speaker 7: the Super Bowl because people are now turning their attention
- 23:57Speaker 7: to basketball, more specifically college basketball as opposed to the NBA,
- 24:02Speaker 7: and so now it's like folks open their eyes a
- 24:05Speaker 7: little bit and go, hold up. I didn't realize Arizona
- 24:09Speaker 7: was undefeated until this past Monday night. Miami, Ohio is
- 24:12Speaker 7: still undefeated. Heading into tonight's game. There's a lot of
- 24:15Speaker 7: really cool storylines that have been operating just below the
- 24:18Speaker 7: national consciousness, I think because of football. But you know,
- 24:22Speaker 7: we'll get well versed on them here in the coming week.
- 24:24Speaker 2: Let's start first with the big story in terms of
- 24:27Speaker 2: just nationwide, and that would be the freshman class byu
- 24:32Speaker 2: AJ Devonsa is unbelievable. Darren Peterson from Kansas, I'll let
- 24:36Speaker 2: you talk about him and the weirdness that is Darren
- 24:39Speaker 2: Peterson who will probably be the number one overall pick.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Caleb Wilson just got hurt for North Carolina, Boozer at Duke, etc.
- 24:46Speaker 2: How good is the freshman class this year in college basketball?
- 24:50Speaker 7: In my opinion, it's the best ever, and there's some
- 24:54Speaker 7: data to support that, just when you look at the
- 24:57Speaker 7: production from conference to conference. And I don't believe we're
- 25:01Speaker 7: going to have an all freshman first team All America team,
- 25:04Speaker 7: but we could. I could put one together for you
- 25:07Speaker 7: right now that that would, you know, be excellent, And
- 25:11Speaker 7: after all of these players' NBA careers are over, could
- 25:14Speaker 7: be one of those things you look back on and go, man,
- 25:16Speaker 7: remember that season when all them dudes were in college together,
- 25:20Speaker 7: we knew Darren Peterson would be great. He is when
- 25:22Speaker 7: he plays, but I think on some level even more
- 25:25Speaker 7: impressive than you anticipated. He completely takes over games against
- 25:30Speaker 7: you know, top twenty competition and just looks different than
- 25:34Speaker 7: everybody else on the court, even when some of the
- 25:36Speaker 7: other people are on the court are also people who
- 25:38Speaker 7: are going to be selected in the first round of
- 25:39Speaker 7: the draft. We knew de Bonson would be good. He's
- 25:42Speaker 7: leading the nation in scoring. He's been you know, overwhelming
- 25:47Speaker 7: at BYU. Cameron Boozer is probably the national player of
- 25:50Speaker 7: the year right now at Duke. He's been excellent. So
- 25:53Speaker 7: the guys we knew would be great are great. But
- 25:56Speaker 7: then you get a Keaton Wogler at Illinois who is
- 25:59Speaker 7: maybe one of the most unique stories in recent college
- 26:01Speaker 7: basketball history. He's a freshman. He was ranked one hundred
- 26:05Speaker 7: and fiftieth in his high school class. In this era
- 26:07Speaker 7: of college basketball, when most power conference coaches are living
- 26:10Speaker 7: in the transfer portal, they don't even sign or recruit
- 26:13Speaker 7: players frank one hundred and fifty in the high school
- 26:15Speaker 7: class anymore, but Illinois did, and Keithon Walger is not
- 26:18Speaker 7: only the best player at Illinois, he's arguably the best
- 26:21Speaker 7: player in the Big Ten. I've never seen anything like this,
- 26:23Speaker 7: a top ten team led by a freshman in scoring
- 26:27Speaker 7: who was ranked outside of the top one fifty in
- 26:30Speaker 7: his high school class. That's another great story, this freshman class,
- 26:33Speaker 7: whether it's what they're doing on the basketball court right
- 26:35Speaker 7: now or what they're going to do in June's NBA draft,
- 26:38Speaker 7: they are the story of this season.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Gary Parris joining US Curtsy and Nolai Brewing. We lost
- 26:43Speaker 2: one of the final two unbeaten teams of the year
- 26:46Speaker 2: this week when Arizona went to Kansas on Monday, lost
- 26:50Speaker 2: eighty two to seventy eight. The Kansas team that, by
- 26:52Speaker 2: the way, did not have Darren Peterson, as we would
- 26:55Speaker 2: say in the hockey world, a late scratch from the
- 26:57Speaker 2: lineup flew like symptoms. The weirdness it is Darren Peterson is.
- 27:01Speaker 2: I don't know if NBA put scouts are noticing. Maybe
- 27:03Speaker 2: they don't care because the guy's that good. But warmed
- 27:06Speaker 2: up and then said, yeah, I'm not going to go weird.
- 27:08Speaker 2: But still Kansas won, Arizona loses. Arizona is ranked number
- 27:12Speaker 2: two in your top twenty five and one is the
- 27:15Speaker 2: is the one Arizona looks like a Final four team,
- 27:17Speaker 2: But can final four teams be teams that can't shoot
- 27:19Speaker 2: the ball? Because I don't think they can shoot the ball.
- 27:22Speaker 7: They don't even try to shoot it, and that is
- 27:24Speaker 7: the Achilles And if they don't get where the number
- 27:27Speaker 7: next to their names suggests they should go, it will
- 27:29Speaker 7: likely be because of that. Folks listened to now are
- 27:32Speaker 7: very familiar with Tommy Lloyd.
- 27:33Speaker 2: He was a.
- 27:33Speaker 7: Gonzaga assistant for a long time. He has now built
- 27:37Speaker 7: a monster at Arizona. But it does seem to have
- 27:41Speaker 7: a flaw on the offensive end. And that flaw is that,
- 27:44Speaker 7: in this time where the emphasis on the three point
- 27:47Speaker 7: shot has never been heavier, they just don't take them.
- 27:50Speaker 7: At Arizona. They're going to try to beat you inside
- 27:53Speaker 7: the arc. You know, a guy like Nate Oaps or
- 27:56Speaker 7: Rick Patino would tell you, insist to you. Eventually that
- 27:59Speaker 7: becomes a mass album for you, and you don't want
- 28:01Speaker 7: to have a math problem in a single elimination tournament.
- 28:03Speaker 7: All that acknowledged, Arizona is still ranked number one in
- 28:07Speaker 7: the A. People didn't take their first loss until this
- 28:10Speaker 7: past week past Monday, and the only loss on the
- 28:14Speaker 7: resume is a loss inside Allen Fieldhouse to a team
- 28:17Speaker 7: coach by Bill Salth. They're still very, very good, but
- 28:21Speaker 7: you have identified the thing that I think gives some
- 28:24Speaker 7: people some hesitancy to flock them in as a as
- 28:27Speaker 7: a real national champion.
- 28:29Speaker 2: I'd be remiss of fitting asking about Gonzaga. They're twenty
- 28:31Speaker 2: four and two. Are you've got them eleven in your
- 28:33Speaker 2: top twenty five and one? Of course, that's what I
- 28:35Speaker 2: go with, is your top twenty five and one. I
- 28:36Speaker 2: don't get about the writers. So Gonzaga, we watched them.
- 28:40Speaker 2: I watched them demolish a really bad Washington State team.
- 28:43Speaker 2: They're awful. David Rally needs to go, but I'll leave
- 28:46Speaker 2: that for another day. But Gonzaga with you know, Grammy
- 28:50Speaker 2: ks a star and a powerful post player. And I'm
- 28:54Speaker 2: looking at Mark Fu's team and it's kind of lacking,
- 28:57Speaker 2: especially you know with Hawfoutain stuff that they don't we
- 29:00Speaker 2: have that major star power we've had in the past.
- 29:02Speaker 2: But they look like one of the most complete gun
- 29:04Speaker 2: Zaga teams I've seen in a while.
- 29:06Speaker 7: Yeah, the star is going to end up being if
- 29:10Speaker 7: you if you give it time. Davis Fogel, He's the
- 29:12Speaker 7: next one who's going to develop into the you know,
- 29:16Speaker 7: top twenty pick Conference Player of the Year All American candidates.
- 29:20Speaker 7: You know, I was at Gonzaga San Francisco a few
- 29:23Speaker 7: weeks back on the sideline for CBS Sports Network and
- 29:26Speaker 7: I got to see it up close. But even before that,
- 29:30Speaker 7: just talking to people around the program, they were like,
- 29:33Speaker 7: he's very good, and he knows he's very good, and
- 29:36Speaker 7: when he gets unleashed, you know, it's going to be
- 29:39Speaker 7: a problem for people on our schedule. Like he plays
- 29:42Speaker 7: with an incredible level of confidence, and so he's maybe
- 29:46Speaker 7: a year away from being that All American level guy,
- 29:49Speaker 7: but he can take over, you know, four minute spurts
- 29:51Speaker 7: of games. We've seen him do that here and there
- 29:54Speaker 7: after the Zags just as a team, I mean, I'll
- 29:57Speaker 7: never understand port and loss. That was a weird night
- 30:00Speaker 7: and that damaged the resume and probably removed them from
- 30:03Speaker 7: one seed consideration, perhaps even two seed consideration. But surprise, surprise,
- 30:08Speaker 7: once again, Mark Fu's got one of the very best
- 30:09Speaker 7: teams in the country. I could see it going back
- 30:12Speaker 7: to the Final four. And I hope all of this
- 30:14Speaker 7: happens in the same year where he is inducted into
- 30:17Speaker 7: the National Memorial Hall of Fame, because we found out
- 30:19Speaker 7: this week he is a finalist, and there's really no
- 30:21Speaker 7: good explanation for leaving him out. I'm a big believer
- 30:25Speaker 7: in this, whether it's football Hall of Fame, basketball Hall
- 30:28Speaker 7: of Fame. Once somebody has a Hall of Fame career,
- 30:31Speaker 7: and if the answer to the question of should they
- 30:34Speaker 7: be in is yes, just do it. Just get it done.
- 30:36Speaker 7: We don't have to wait. Kelvin Sampson's sev seventy years old.
- 30:40Speaker 7: Mark few is sixty three. We don't need to make
- 30:44Speaker 7: anybody wait to hand them their flowers. Mark has a
- 30:47Speaker 7: Hall of Fame resume already, so does Calvin. I think
- 30:50Speaker 7: I hope they're both in the Hall of Fame later
- 30:52Speaker 7: this year.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Yeah, ap preach on Kelvin. I also spend some time
- 30:55Speaker 2: at Wazoo Montana Tech, and we were partial to him
- 30:57Speaker 2: out here. I know there was the things that happened
- 30:59Speaker 2: that now you can do in college basketball that maybe
- 31:01Speaker 2: heard him, but we're with you, And we talked about
- 31:03Speaker 2: that with our friend Mike Homberan, who's a part of
- 31:04Speaker 2: our radio station all the time, Like why are we waiting?
- 31:06Speaker 2: Like what are we waiting for? All right, a couple
- 31:08Speaker 2: of things.
- 31:09Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't ever want to get dark with it,
- 31:11Speaker 7: but like I just you know, you're not young men.
- 31:14Speaker 7: Nobody's promised tomorrow. And even like Pete Rose, however you
- 31:19Speaker 7: feel about Pete Rose, you know it doesn't matter. But like,
- 31:22Speaker 7: there are people who feel strongly that he should be
- 31:25Speaker 7: in the Baseball Hall of Fame. And if he is, someday,
- 31:28Speaker 7: for whatever reason, you know, allowed to be in there,
- 31:33Speaker 7: it will happen after his death. And that means the
- 31:36Speaker 7: thing that meant the most to that man, he he
- 31:38Speaker 7: was never able to experience in this lifetime. And I
- 31:42Speaker 7: got it. Flaw guy perhaps deserves to be banned from
- 31:45Speaker 7: the Hall of Fame forever. I'll let other people debate it.
- 31:47Speaker 7: My point is, I just don't like that. Robert Kraft,
- 31:50Speaker 7: same deal the Flaw guy. You guys can everybody can
- 31:53Speaker 7: debate him if they want to. Clearly belongs in the
- 31:55Speaker 7: Hall of Fame, not a young man. I think that's
- 31:58Speaker 7: kind of ridiculous. They're way they're making him.
- 31:59Speaker 2: Wait, I got about a minute left we wrapping up
- 32:01Speaker 2: with this. There's some out here at Washington that still
- 32:04Speaker 2: think they have a chance for the tournament. I'm not
- 32:06Speaker 2: sure how under five hundred. There's ten teams right now
- 32:08Speaker 2: in Jerry Palm's bracket that are from the Big Ten,
- 32:11Speaker 2: and not even close will be Washington, Washington, USC, Oregon's
- 32:15Speaker 2: having an awful year at Dana Altman, who knows this
- 32:17Speaker 2: might be his last season. And Mick Croden is going
- 32:20Speaker 2: to play a nine to forty five am game at
- 32:22Speaker 2: Michigan tomorrow and he's going to get smoked and be
- 32:24Speaker 2: pissed and upset and all those things. So how's it
- 32:27Speaker 2: working out for the college side of the four teams
- 32:30Speaker 2: out here going to the Big Ten?
- 32:33Speaker 7: I bet the bank accounts what great? But the fan
- 32:36Speaker 7: bases aren't that happy. And this is this is the
- 32:39Speaker 7: this will be the lasting takeaway from conference realignment, conference
- 32:45Speaker 7: expansion we used to have. And I'll be quick with this,
- 32:49Speaker 7: but more more power conferences slash good conferences than we do.
- 32:52Speaker 7: Right now. The Big Ten has eighteen teams. Everybody in
- 32:55Speaker 7: that league is making at least two and a half
- 32:57Speaker 7: million dollars, So like somebody making a lot of money
- 33:00Speaker 7: is going to finish sixteenth, fifteenth, eighteenth, And the fan
- 33:04Speaker 7: bases then won't change because they don't understand why they're
- 33:06Speaker 7: paying all this money to a coach who's not delivering
- 33:09Speaker 7: the work. But once you put eighteen teams in the
- 33:12Speaker 7: Big ten or sixteen in the SEC and you invest
- 33:15Speaker 7: the way all those schools invest in different sports, somebody's
- 33:18Speaker 7: got to lose. It's a zero gum, zero sum sport.
- 33:21Speaker 7: Somebody's got to lose every time somebody wins. And so
- 33:24Speaker 7: the practice facilities look nice, the stadiums look nice, the
- 33:27Speaker 7: arenas look nice, the checking accounts are great for everybody.
- 33:30Speaker 7: But are the fan bases happy? Are you having a
- 33:32Speaker 7: good time? Because when you get into bigger leagues that
- 33:34Speaker 7: are tougher and deeper and more competitive, you end up
- 33:39Speaker 7: losing more than you've ever lost, even if you've got
- 33:41Speaker 7: good coaches in place.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Great stuff, well said Gary. We're underway. Four weeks until
- 33:46Speaker 2: selections Sunday, four weeks and two days to be exact.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Can't wait to keep doing this, my friend. Great to
- 33:50Speaker 2: have you back again this year.
- 33:52Speaker 7: Yeah, the best. I appreciate it.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Talk to you next week, that is, Gary Parrish, take
- 33:55Speaker 2: a quick break, come back, maybe a quick daily power play.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Rob Ran coming up top of the hour ninet three

- 34:53Speaker 2: point three k FM. Of course cracking or of Olympic
- 34:55Speaker 2: Break is taking place. Let's give you Olympic hockey updates,
- 34:57Speaker 2: shall we? We will? U said today early this morning
- 35:01Speaker 2: at three o'clock our time this morning, Ellie tolven In
- 35:04Speaker 2: Coppo coco and Finland beat Sweden four to one. That's
- 35:08Speaker 2: a big upset in Olympic hockey and that kind of
- 35:10Speaker 2: throws things into a little bit of a spin in
- 35:13Speaker 2: the Olympic world. So we'll keep an eye on what
- 35:15Speaker 2: it happens. And that's the second game for those two teams. Course,
- 35:17Speaker 2: Finland got knocked off in their first game, so phil
- 35:20Speaker 2: and Sweden both won and one right now, gold differential
- 35:22Speaker 2: does matter. Ellie Tolvenan didn't have a point, but Coppocaco
- 35:25Speaker 2: did in that game. I believe Coppos are tolven and
- 35:29Speaker 2: I'm an double check here. Then on the fly they
- 35:33Speaker 2: don't have time on ice. I think he's playing some
- 35:35Speaker 2: pretty good minutes though, if I'm not mistaken, top six
- 35:38Speaker 2: minutes as is Coppo, so Coppo Coco gets in that game,
- 35:41Speaker 2: big assists. There other games today in Olympic men's hockey,
- 35:45Speaker 2: Slovaki over Italy three to two, no surprise, there no surprise.
- 35:48Speaker 2: Chechia over France six to three the final in that game,
- 35:51Speaker 2: Checky is pretty good hockey team, and right now through
- 35:55Speaker 2: forty minutes, the favorite, the gold medal favorite, Canada over
- 35:59Speaker 2: Switzerland three one in a game that's probably a little
- 36:01Speaker 2: closer than we would expect. Next up for the US,
- 36:04Speaker 2: by the way, they play at noon tomorrow against Denmark
- 36:08Speaker 2: and Oscar Fisker Mouleguard from the krackt that US game
- 36:11Speaker 2: three o'clock or a noon Pacific time tomorrow, a team Finland,
- 36:15Speaker 2: by the way, ten to thirty in the morning taking
- 36:18Speaker 2: on Italy tomorrow. I'm sure that's seven thirty yard time.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Might have to take seven thirty our time Finland and
- 36:24Speaker 2: Italy noon our time, US and Denmark tomorrow, Grubauer and Latvia.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Gre and Germany taken on Latvia tomorrow. That's a three
- 36:33Speaker 2: am game. If you're so inclined to get up in
- 36:35Speaker 2: the middle of the night at three am and watch
- 36:36Speaker 2: Groovy taken on La I've.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Done it with the Mariners, so I'll do.
- 36:39Speaker 2: It with Are you really good up? You're gonna get
- 36:41Speaker 2: it three in the morning, watch for Groovy.
- 36:42Speaker 4: For Groovy, maybe I'll just stay up until then, you know,
- 36:45Speaker 4: have myself a little Friday or record it.
- 36:49Speaker 3: That's called evidence again, can do.
- 36:50Speaker 2: All those things along the way. So yeah, there you go.
- 36:53Speaker 2: That's a little update from the Olympic Hockey realm of
- 36:56Speaker 2: things as things continue on cracking back in work work mode,
- 37:01Speaker 2: I should say, coming up on Tuesday, I believe they're
- 37:05Speaker 2: back on the ice getting ready to start the next
- 37:08Speaker 2: set of the season. They they don't come back to
- 37:11Speaker 2: play until a week from Wednesday next week, so it's
- 37:15Speaker 2: been a little bit of time left before they're back.
- 37:17Speaker 2: But the players that aren't in the Olympics, they're off
- 37:19Speaker 2: their break early next week. I do believe MJ in
- 37:22Speaker 2: the midday is doing a show out at Casey. I
- 37:24Speaker 2: next week.
- 37:25Speaker 8: Yes he is, yep, nice, very nice.
- 37:26Speaker 4: So yes, yeah, we'll have a lot of shows out there.
- 37:29Speaker 4: On Wednesday, We're going to have.
- 37:30Speaker 2: Oh really yes, is Mike Betton out there too?
- 37:33Speaker 4: I believe so on Wednesday and possibly even Thursday as well.
- 37:38Speaker 4: He will be in for you in your much sugrieved absence.
- 37:42Speaker 4: But yeah, on Wednesday, he will be out there.
- 37:44Speaker 2: Has the staff at the thirty two been notified that
- 37:47Speaker 2: those two guys are going.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Out there pushups right now? Just to be ready for it.
- 37:51Speaker 2: There's a lot leaving out there. All right. That's your
- 37:54Speaker 2: Olympic Men's hockey update. Women. Just wake me up when
- 37:58Speaker 2: we get to the semi finals, because honestly, the US
- 38:00Speaker 2: is that good? Okay? We By the way, coming up
- 38:04Speaker 2: at two o'clock. Rob Rang's going to join us. A
- 38:06Speaker 2: lot to discuss with Ranger NFL Combine is right around
- 38:09Speaker 2: the corner. In addition to that, we got some stuff
- 38:13Speaker 2: going on as far as the Seahawks are concerned with
- 38:15Speaker 2: their their roster construction and what they're going to do.
- 38:17Speaker 2: We talked about that with Coseell earlier and you know,
- 38:21Speaker 2: Greg mentioned, you know, kind of what we all believe
- 38:24Speaker 2: to be the case that you're not going to bring
- 38:26Speaker 2: back both Woolen and Joe. I think that's one of
- 38:28Speaker 2: the bigger decisions as well as obviously the big decision
- 38:31Speaker 2: has to be what you do with ken Walker, Like
- 38:34Speaker 2: what is ken Walker worth? What is ken Walker? Is
- 38:37Speaker 2: it worth paying, you know, paying him money to a
- 38:38Speaker 2: running back like that? I don't know. To me, it
- 38:41Speaker 2: seems like a no brainer depending. I mean, I know
- 38:43Speaker 2: money comes into play. I know salary cap the Seahawks
- 38:45Speaker 2: have plenty of money to spend. The salary caps going up.
- 38:48Speaker 2: We just saw the value of ken Walker, like five
- 38:52Speaker 2: days ago, we saw the walker of.
- 38:54Speaker 3: The value of album that's with him.
- 38:55Speaker 2: He loves him, He listen. There's guys that are named
- 38:59Speaker 2: the MVP Super Bowl and you can kind of go
- 39:01Speaker 2: why or how or all those types of things. Then
- 39:03Speaker 2: there's the performance. He put on one hundred and sixty
- 39:05Speaker 2: plus yards total yards including the twenty seven on the
- 39:09Speaker 2: through the air. But he was a difference maker in
- 39:12Speaker 2: that game. And he's a difference maker when he plays,
- 39:14Speaker 2: and he plays well and he handled the load. And
- 39:16Speaker 2: I know there's been concerns about injuries, but he's been
- 39:18Speaker 2: fairly healthy and just on and on and on I
- 39:21Speaker 2: just I just don't know how you don't bring him back.
- 39:24Speaker 2: But that's one of the big decisions. Well, we'll talk
- 39:26Speaker 2: about all that stuff. One of the things the mass
- 39:28Speaker 2: ranger about is, you know, what does it look like
- 39:29Speaker 2: in terms of the running back draft class. We all
- 39:31Speaker 2: know Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame is like a stud right,
- 39:34Speaker 2: Like he's he's gonna go like probably top five.
- 39:36Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not going to battle. He's not a part
- 39:38Speaker 4: of the team. I hate saying we but he yeah,
- 39:40Speaker 4: we're out.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Yeah, you're out with that. And are there any first round,
- 39:43Speaker 2: second round, third round running backs available? We'll talk to
- 39:46Speaker 2: Aranger about that coming up in a few minutes. Okay,
- 39:49Speaker 2: you know, I kind of wanted to keep it all
- 39:50Speaker 2: positive this week.
- 39:52Speaker 7: And all that.
- 39:54Speaker 3: We'll call it a Friday Club, but we.
- 39:56Speaker 2: Got to mention this, and half the time, I don't
- 39:59Speaker 2: know if this stuff is real or if it's done
- 40:02Speaker 2: tongue in cheek.
- 40:03Speaker 3: It's hard to tell, but I think.
- 40:05Speaker 2: This was legit. So I looked at the comments afterwards
- 40:08Speaker 2: on x Slash Twitter and he kind of defended his
- 40:12Speaker 2: stance and things like that. So I'm gonna take it
- 40:15Speaker 2: for what it's worth if if listen, I'll be the
- 40:19Speaker 2: dumbest person in the world. If he'd said it in jest.
- 40:20Speaker 2: I don't think he did. But hit the music, hit
- 40:25Speaker 2: the open.
- 40:27Speaker 1: The e infnest show probably presents ignorance bad. It's finest
- 40:33Speaker 1: until SAFTI hits the air, a special part of your
- 40:37Speaker 1: day where intelligence takes the segment off. If it sounds stupid,
- 40:41Speaker 1: it probably is. Ladies and Gentlemen. The dumbest thing you'll
- 40:46Speaker 1: hear today, A real no brainer. I agree. This is
- 40:53Speaker 1: from Barstool Sports. Our good friend Dave Portnite is Portnoy Portnoy.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Yep, pizza guy.
- 41:01Speaker 2: I love the pizza thing. I'll be honest with you.
- 41:03Speaker 2: I think the pizza things awesome.
- 41:04Speaker 3: I think it does a good job. I think I'll
- 41:06Speaker 3: be honest.
- 41:07Speaker 2: And the guy's brilliant. He's built a billion dollar business.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I mean, he's just he's he's brilliant a lot of ways.
- 41:11Speaker 2: But sometimes fandom takes over, and sometimes fandom makes you
- 41:14Speaker 2: sound stupid. Case in point, I'm gonna be honest.
- 41:18Speaker 9: I haven't brought this up yet. We go live stock
- 41:23Speaker 9: Market in a minute. I think it's a huge advantage
- 41:26Speaker 9: for Seattle playing the Super Bowl in the West Coast
- 41:28Speaker 9: where they live and not having to adjust to the
- 41:30Speaker 9: time difference.
- 41:31Speaker 6: I'm still all out of whack.
- 41:33Speaker 5: Was out a whack when I got there.
- 41:35Speaker 6: Patriots had to be out of whack.
- 41:37Speaker 7: It's unfair.
- 41:39Speaker 9: I get that people do it, but it seems like
- 41:40Speaker 9: every Super bowls in the West Coast it's a huge
- 41:42Speaker 9: advantage for the West Coast teams. Your body isn't like
- 41:46Speaker 9: ready whatever.
- 41:48Speaker 4: I won't make excuses, but you just did literally and
- 41:53Speaker 4: also comparing yourself to NFL athletes that you're still out
- 41:56Speaker 4: of whack.
- 41:56Speaker 2: So here's the thing.
- 42:00Speaker 8: There.
- 42:01Speaker 2: We live in a world that is East Coast centric
- 42:03Speaker 2: in so many different ways. One of those ways you
- 42:05Speaker 2: hear every year when they say, oh, the games, like
- 42:08Speaker 2: for example, World Series, you hear this every year with
- 42:10Speaker 2: the World Series. Games start too late, people can't watch
- 42:13Speaker 2: them on the East Coast, et cetera, et cetera. And
- 42:17Speaker 2: you know, then you there's there's that all the time. Well, listen,
- 42:22Speaker 2: the same thing goes. You're gonna hear mc cronin complain
- 42:24Speaker 2: about it tomorrow when UCLA plays at Michigan.
- 42:26Speaker 3: Wait, what mc mccrud.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Is gonna complain tomorrow? Ninety five in the morning they play,
- 42:32Speaker 2: they're gonna get boat raced by the Wolverines. He'll complain
- 42:34Speaker 2: about the early start time nine forty five Pacific time. Listen.
- 42:38Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go back in the Mike McDonald era. Uh,
- 42:41Speaker 2: these are the games that Mike McDonald's team has played.
- 42:45Speaker 2: And I'm not going to include the Lions game that
- 42:47Speaker 2: was a Monday night game because that was a five
- 42:49Speaker 2: point fifteen start, and so I don't think that really
- 42:51Speaker 2: comes into play, right, But if we do, that's the
- 42:54Speaker 2: one loss. That's the only loss in the Mike McDonald
- 42:57Speaker 2: era that Seattle has had playing on the East Coast
- 43:01Speaker 2: or the Eastern time zone. Win at New England, lost
- 43:04Speaker 2: it Detroit if we want to go there. Win in Atlanta,
- 43:08Speaker 2: this is last year, by the way. Win at the Jets. Well,
- 43:12Speaker 2: I guess I can't really get people credit for that.
- 43:14Speaker 2: Just so win in the Central time zone against the Bears.
- 43:17Speaker 2: That was last year. Okay, so what four and one
- 43:20Speaker 2: this year? They were perfect in those types of starts.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Win at Pittsburgh, win at Jacksonville, win at Tennessee, win
- 43:30Speaker 2: at Atlanta, win at Carolina didn't affect Seattle and Mike
- 43:35Speaker 2: McDonald going back east and playing early. So how the
- 43:38Speaker 2: hell is it going to is going to hurt you.
- 43:39Speaker 4: Guys, because it hurt Dave Portnoy.
- 43:42Speaker 3: They were there.
- 43:44Speaker 2: They were there all week.
- 43:46Speaker 7: Man.
- 43:46Speaker 2: You get and trust me as someone who has done
- 43:49Speaker 2: this a lot when I say this, traveled across the country,
- 43:53Speaker 2: not play the game, but covered a game, much like
- 43:56Speaker 2: what portnited. Portnoy did, right, he was there for a week.
- 44:00Speaker 2: We'd do that, whether it be Greg Bell or or Candata,
- 44:04Speaker 2: Michael Sean, all those guys, we all have done that.
- 44:09Speaker 3: I mean, back to back East coasts this year.
- 44:12Speaker 2: And you probably were fine by Monday. I was here,
- 44:15Speaker 2: You were here, right, I did it all the time
- 44:17Speaker 2: for fifteen years. I'd come back, get off a plane,
- 44:20Speaker 2: get up at three in the morning Pacific, get off
- 44:21Speaker 2: the plane, come to a show. Yeah you're tired, you're
- 44:23Speaker 2: beat up. They had a week to had a week
- 44:26Speaker 2: to prepare. Plus by the way, their previous game was
- 44:29Speaker 2: in the wait for it, Mountain time zone. That's an hour,
- 44:33Speaker 2: not much difference, and they won that game. And they
- 44:36Speaker 2: won that game anyway. Dumbest thing I've heard today, Dave Portnoy,
- 44:38Speaker 2: love you love the pizza thing? Stick to that. Let's
- 44:41Speaker 2: get to it. Rob Rain coming up, Hob of the Hour.
- 44:43Speaker 4: Next.
- 44:47Speaker 1: No from the Star Rentals Sports to Jordan ninety three
- 44:50Speaker 1: point three kJ RFM Sports headlines.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Headlines are brought to you Bry Frost Brewed Cores, Light Shoes, Chill.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Good news for the Seahawk talks today. Carl Scott, their
- 45:02Speaker 2: secondary coach, is sticking around. He had interviewed with the
- 45:05Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals for the DC position. He'll be that someday
- 45:08Speaker 2: and probably even a head coach, but for now he
- 45:10Speaker 2: sticks around with Mike McDonald and what will be This
- 45:13Speaker 2: sounds good to say the defending Super Bowl champions, Seattle Seahawks.
- 45:16Speaker 3: We got to say that for so long, for.
- 45:18Speaker 2: A whole year. Absolutely Seahawks are looking at an outside candidate,
- 45:22Speaker 2: at least one Connor Segnar, who was most recently the

- 45:42Speaker 2: with the Raiders Maurnors, pitchers and catchers have reported this week.

- 46:48Speaker 2: Rang is standing by right now as part of.
- 46:51Speaker 1: Our never ending coverage of the NFL. It's time for
- 46:54Speaker 1: Ian's weekly visit with Rob Rang from Foxsports dot Com,
- 46:58Speaker 1: brought to you by Ferrelli's Pizza on your Home for
- 47:01Speaker 1: the twelfth Man and the NFL Sports Radio ninety three
- 47:04Speaker 1: point three kJ r FM.
- 47:09Speaker 2: All right, here we go, Welcome back to o'clock hour.
- 47:11Speaker 2: You fornest with you and you know, last week it
- 47:13Speaker 2: kind of made it sound like it might be the
- 47:14Speaker 2: last time we talked until we get closer to the draft,
- 47:16Speaker 2: and that's just that's.
- 47:17Speaker 6: Just not gonna happen.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Here's why I love talking to my friend Rob Rang
- 47:20Speaker 2: on Fridays. It's kind of like a tradition. And as
- 47:22Speaker 2: we've learned, Rob, I don't know if the NFL takes
- 47:25Speaker 2: a week off. Do they take a week off? Is
- 47:26Speaker 2: this kind of the week off? When does the NFL
- 47:28Speaker 2: take time off?
- 47:30Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 47:30Speaker 5: I don't know what they do.
- 47:32Speaker 6: You know, it's funny.
- 47:33Speaker 10: It's an interview with with Mike McDonald and they basically
- 47:38Speaker 10: were saying, like, hey, you get the combine here in
- 47:40Speaker 10: like two weeks, and you just kind of you can
- 47:42Speaker 10: almost see him kind of just chuckle like like, you know,
- 47:45Speaker 10: my goodness, when you.
- 47:45Speaker 6: Play this long into the season.
- 47:47Speaker 10: Obviously super Bowl, then they really there are no weeks
- 47:51Speaker 10: off at this point of the you know, and and
- 47:54Speaker 10: the way that things are now, and so yeah, it's.
- 47:57Speaker 6: Basically like basking the sun. Bask in the glory of
- 48:01Speaker 6: the super Bowl.
- 48:02Speaker 10: But at the same time, turn the page because the
- 48:04Speaker 10: combine is coming. For agency is coming. Obviously some coaches
- 48:07Speaker 10: might be leaving. There is no chance, no time to wait.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Rob for people who missed it last week, I thought
- 48:14Speaker 2: the stories you did on both New England and Seattle
- 48:17Speaker 2: and the construction of those rosters the most important moves
- 48:19Speaker 2: they made, was absolutely sensational Fox sports dot Com. I
- 48:22Speaker 2: heard a lot of people say the same thing. So
- 48:23Speaker 2: I'm glad we got to talk about that last week
- 48:25Speaker 2: before I kind of look ahead of this year's draft
- 48:27Speaker 2: and you know, and we're gonna we're gonna kind of
- 48:30Speaker 2: jump a little bit in that in just a couple
- 48:31Speaker 2: of seconds. Before I do that, I want to just
- 48:33Speaker 2: look back a little bit when it's all said and
- 48:35Speaker 2: done and you look back at this Seattle team that
- 48:38Speaker 2: wins the championship, because the last time we spoke was
- 48:41Speaker 2: pre title. When you look back at the twenty twenty
- 48:44Speaker 2: five Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Championship roster, you talked about
- 48:48Speaker 2: the most important moves, Mike McDonald being at the top
- 48:50Speaker 2: of the list. But when you look back at just
- 48:53Speaker 2: how the team was constructed, is that kind of a
- 48:56Speaker 2: clinic on how you construct a title constructed title team?
- 48:59Speaker 2: Some key draft picks, a couple of under the radar
- 49:02Speaker 2: free agent acquisitions like Tank Lawrence, and maybe a couple
- 49:05Speaker 2: of trades that you know you got to take a
- 49:07Speaker 2: chance on, and you kind of look back Leonard Williams
- 49:10Speaker 2: and Ernest Jones and then obviously this year was Shi
- 49:13Speaker 2: she Heat. I mean, when you just kind of look
- 49:15Speaker 2: at the overall construction of that team, is that kind
- 49:17Speaker 2: of a clinic on how you do it?
- 49:19Speaker 10: Yeah, That's what I was thinking, is a kind of
- 49:21Speaker 10: a masterclass, you know, and John Shier really has obviously
- 49:26Speaker 10: as the reigning NFL Executive of the Year, he's now
- 49:30Speaker 10: starting to get the attention that he deserves. But you know,
- 49:33Speaker 10: I thought that Pete Carroll understandably got a lot of
- 49:36Speaker 10: the credits for the way that the roster was constructed
- 49:40Speaker 10: when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl back to twenty thirteen.
- 49:43Speaker 10: But I really thought that John Shier did a remarkable job.
- 49:46Speaker 4: Then.
- 49:46Speaker 10: I think that he has done a pre damn good
- 49:48Speaker 10: job of it, even in the so called lean years.
- 49:50Speaker 10: I mean, because of course, the Seahawks never fell to
- 49:53Speaker 10: the true basement. I mean, clearly they had some you know,
- 49:57Speaker 10: some misfortune go their way with some of their off picks,
- 50:00Speaker 10: either getting themselves injured or just not living up to expectations.
- 50:04Speaker 10: But I think that what which Shiers always appreciated is
- 50:06Speaker 10: that the you know, the most important guy in the
- 50:08Speaker 10: room oftentimes is the head coach and the staff that
- 50:11Speaker 10: they bring in. And one Seattle had a little bit
- 50:13Speaker 10: more consistency as far as offensive line coaches. Then I
- 50:18Speaker 10: think that is one of the areas in which we
- 50:19Speaker 10: have really seen that that he has historically gone with
- 50:24Speaker 10: with some some good players, they've had success other or
- 50:28Speaker 10: outside of Seattle, even when they had their their misfires
- 50:31Speaker 10: here and virtually every other position of course, they've always
- 50:35Speaker 10: been successful. So yeah, I think that the twenty twenty
- 50:38Speaker 10: five Seahawks was was a masterclass, uh in terms of
- 50:42Speaker 10: just marrying the coaching ability the schemes with with the
- 50:46Speaker 10: player personnel that Shier has always been very very good at.
- 50:50Speaker 10: And then as you said, I mean pulling off some
- 50:52Speaker 10: of the trades that he did for Leonard Winnings, for
- 50:54Speaker 10: for for Ernest Jones, and.
- 50:56Speaker 6: For uh for for Shoot Shihat.
- 50:58Speaker 10: I mean, the Seahucks don't go to Super Bowl without
- 50:59Speaker 10: play off those three moves. And all of those moves
- 51:02Speaker 10: were somewhat like I would say, luke warm type of
- 51:06Speaker 10: received by most NFL analysts across the country when they
- 51:11Speaker 10: actually happened, and all of them wind up playing a
- 51:14Speaker 10: huge role in Seawk success this year.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Rob rang joining us Fox sports dot com our NFL
- 51:18Speaker 2: Draft Insider, and you've got the Bock Draft up there.
- 51:22Speaker 2: I'm going to get to what you wrote about the
- 51:24Speaker 2: Seahawks because I think it's all encompassing on what I
- 51:26Speaker 2: also want to talk to you about, and that's free
- 51:27Speaker 2: agency and the decision Seattle is going to have to
- 51:30Speaker 2: make in free agency as we hit this offseason. And
- 51:33Speaker 2: because you have Seattle taken a cornerback number thirty two overall,
- 51:37Speaker 2: remember Seattle winning the Super Bowl folks. In case you
- 51:39Speaker 2: need a little reminder, that means you pick thirty second overall,
- 51:43Speaker 2: despite whatever you do in the regular season. So that's
- 51:45Speaker 2: where Seattle picks one of it's four as of right now.
- 51:48Speaker 2: But rob, let me jump up to the top. You've
- 51:50Speaker 2: got Arizona taking Jeremiah Love running back. That's terrific running back.
- 51:55Speaker 2: We talked about them all year long during the college
- 51:57Speaker 2: season out of Notre Dame. I bring his name up
- 51:59Speaker 2: for this reason. What do you do with Ken Walker?
- 52:03Speaker 2: Because we just saw the MVP performance we saw when
- 52:07Speaker 2: he was asked to be the guy, not split carries,
- 52:10Speaker 2: none of that, just be the guy. And when he
- 52:13Speaker 2: was asked to be the guy, man was he the man,
- 52:16Speaker 2: no doubt about it. All through the playoffs when Charbonnag
- 52:18Speaker 2: got hurt, this guy just flat out took over the
- 52:21Speaker 2: you know, the incredible first game in the playoffs, what
- 52:23Speaker 2: he did last game in the Super Bowl. He's a
- 52:26Speaker 2: free agent. Running backs depends on the on the team.
- 52:30Speaker 2: Excuse me. Sometimes they get valued, sometimes they don't. So
- 52:33Speaker 2: based on what you know about the running back class
- 52:35Speaker 2: coming out in the draft and only having four picks
- 52:37Speaker 2: and everything else, what do you do with ken Walker.
- 52:42Speaker 10: That's the millionaire question in my mind, and I guess
- 52:44Speaker 10: the most important question of this entire offseason.
- 52:47Speaker 6: I mean, how do you possibly left the Super Bowl
- 52:49Speaker 6: MVP go?
- 52:51Speaker 10: And it just felt like he was playing so well,
- 52:54Speaker 10: you know, not even just in the Super Bowl, but
- 52:56Speaker 10: but it feels like he's playing his best football for
- 52:59Speaker 10: the Seahawks over the world last month or so of
- 53:00Speaker 10: the season. It really feels like he is, you know,
- 53:03Speaker 10: developed a little bit more patience. Of course, anybody watched
- 53:05Speaker 10: the Super Bowl on the TV telecast, They talked about
- 53:09Speaker 10: his patients so much during the broadcast, and he just
- 53:12Speaker 10: would almost walk up to the line of scrimmage, evaluate
- 53:15Speaker 10: where the Patriots defense was flowing, and then just use
- 53:19Speaker 10: that turbo.
- 53:20Speaker 6: Button that he possesses to just you know.
- 53:22Speaker 10: Spurt his way either up the field or latterly with
- 53:26Speaker 10: great success of course. And so I have a hard
- 53:30Speaker 10: time believing the Seattle is going to be willing to
- 53:33Speaker 10: let him go just because of the success, because it
- 53:36Speaker 10: feels like he is still just really scratching the surface
- 53:39Speaker 10: of what he could be in this offense. You know,
- 53:43Speaker 10: Kubiak is obviously going to be with the Las Vegas Raiders.
- 53:45Speaker 10: I think there is a good possibility that Seattle is
- 53:47Speaker 10: going to continue to basically play the very similar style
- 53:50Speaker 10: of ball in the future is what they did this
- 53:52Speaker 10: past season.
- 53:54Speaker 6: So it would be difficult. And this is not a
- 53:57Speaker 6: terrific running back class.
- 53:58Speaker 10: I mean, you mentioned that Jeremiah Love going number three
- 54:02Speaker 10: overall to the Cardinals in that mock draft. I don't
- 54:04Speaker 10: have another running back coming off the board in the
- 54:06Speaker 10: first round, and I'm only gonna have Jeremiah Love's teammate,
- 54:10Speaker 10: Darian Price is the only other back that I currently
- 54:14Speaker 10: have among.
- 54:14Speaker 6: My top fifty prospects. And you know, and while I do.
- 54:18Speaker 10: Think that there are some intriguing players the Seattle might
- 54:20Speaker 10: be able to find in this draft class that can
- 54:23Speaker 10: play more of a one A, one B type of
- 54:25Speaker 10: a role, certainly not a guy that you think of
- 54:28Speaker 10: as a possible future Super Bowl MVP caliber player. At
- 54:32Speaker 10: the same time, I also think that when you have
- 54:35Speaker 10: an executive like John Schneider, who is as proven as
- 54:38Speaker 10: he is and is as willing to I think recognizes
- 54:42Speaker 10: the value of the running back position and how it
- 54:45Speaker 10: is that deflated in terms of value deflated position in
- 54:49Speaker 10: the NFL, that there is a number. Now what that
- 54:52Speaker 10: number is for the Seahawks. Of course, I don't know,
- 54:54Speaker 10: but I don't believe that as great as Keith Walker
- 54:58Speaker 10: the third was for the Seahawks during this run, I
- 55:01Speaker 10: don't think that he's a top five back in the NFL.
- 55:03Speaker 10: Maybe he's that gifted. I don't think that he just
- 55:05Speaker 10: should be paid top five money. And so if that's
- 55:08Speaker 10: what he and his agents are, you know, are are
- 55:11Speaker 10: going to request, and I understand why they might. I
- 55:14Speaker 10: think that the seahawctions should consider using those assets elsewhere.
- 55:19Speaker 2: I'm just looking, Yeah, I'm looking through here, and as
- 55:21Speaker 2: I look, you know, at the at the free agent
- 55:23Speaker 2: running backs, for example, coming out this year, he's twenty
- 55:26Speaker 2: five years old. He's one of the younger free agent
- 55:29Speaker 2: running backs. And among the guys that are, you know,
- 55:31Speaker 2: twenty five or younger, he's I'm trying to see FAM's
- 55:34Speaker 2: even in his category. I don't think so. Javonte Williams, No,
- 55:40Speaker 2: I mean he'll get paid, right, Gavonte Williams get paid
- 55:42Speaker 2: from Dallas Aljier You No, he's a two Damian Like, yeah,
- 55:46Speaker 2: I just find an interesting who knows what's going to happen?
- 55:49Speaker 2: All right? I get all that, Like who knows what's
- 55:51Speaker 2: going to happen. I just to me, I just feel
- 55:53Speaker 2: like when he's look at the other free agent running
- 55:55Speaker 2: backs in the out there, Chase Edmonds, Isaiah Pacheco, Tyson Tyler, Aljier,
- 56:01Speaker 2: Ronnie Rivers, Damian Pierce, DJ Dallas, Michael Carter, et cetera,
- 56:05Speaker 2: et cetera. God, he just kind of feels like he
- 56:07Speaker 2: jumps near the top of the list for me, Rob.
- 56:10Speaker 6: Oh, no question about it. I think he's easily the
- 56:12Speaker 6: top of the free agent list.
- 56:16Speaker 2: I should mention Travis etm But yes, yes, a lot.
- 56:18Speaker 2: There's a lot of these guys.
- 56:20Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, Etn and Breese Hall to me are
- 56:22Speaker 10: the backs that I think are You can make an
- 56:25Speaker 10: argument that they are are legitimate number one kind of backs.
- 56:30Speaker 10: And again, as you mentioned that the number that to
- 56:32Speaker 10: me is most important, that's twenty five years old. I mean,
- 56:35Speaker 10: this is a guy that still should have an awful
- 56:37Speaker 10: lot of tread on the tires. And right now, again
- 56:40Speaker 10: he is as hot as hot can be. But you know,
- 56:43Speaker 10: we entered this season as Zach Sharbonny I thought was
- 56:45Speaker 10: the more consistent all around back he was when healthy.
- 56:48Speaker 6: Of course, the red zone back, the third down back.
- 56:52Speaker 7: You know.
- 56:53Speaker 10: So you know, keV Walker third got twenty nine touches
- 56:57Speaker 10: in that Super Bowl. He very much earned MVP honors,
- 57:00Speaker 10: with all due respect to Jason Myers or to you know,
- 57:02Speaker 10: Devil with a spoon, whoever else you want to say.
- 57:05Speaker 10: But at the same time, that's the most touches that
- 57:08Speaker 10: camth Walker the third has had in his entire career,
- 57:11Speaker 10: barring the very last game of his rookie season when
- 57:13Speaker 10: he had one more touch. He has not been a
- 57:17Speaker 10: proven kind of a true you know vall or excuse me,
- 57:23Speaker 10: the tank that you kind of want the running back position.
- 57:26Speaker 10: He has always kind of had somebody else to go
- 57:28Speaker 10: with him rather than being the true bell cow.
- 57:30Speaker 6: And so that's the thing is, I just think.
- 57:32Speaker 10: That there's awful lot of NFL teams out there and
- 57:34Speaker 10: who are going to be scared to throw big, big
- 57:37Speaker 10: dollars at any back in the second NFL contract, you'd
- 57:41Speaker 10: be Barry Sanders all over again. And there are flashes
- 57:44Speaker 10: of Barry Sanders in the way that camth Walker the
- 57:46Speaker 10: third bounces to the outside and can make people look
- 57:49Speaker 10: silly in the hole. But at the same time, it
- 57:52Speaker 10: just think it's the way the NFL economics go now
- 57:55Speaker 10: is that few teams are willing to dedicate big dollars
- 57:59Speaker 10: to running back in their second contract.
- 58:01Speaker 2: Rober Rang joining us Fox sports dot Com NFL Draft
- 58:04Speaker 2: Insider brought to my Farelius Feli's pizza. Okay, I want
- 58:07Speaker 2: to get down to your mock draft in Seattle at
- 58:09Speaker 2: thirty two because I think it's all encompassing. In kind
- 58:11Speaker 2: of a similar conversation, if Ken Walker is number one
- 58:14Speaker 2: question for Seattle hitting into free agency, number two will
- 58:18Speaker 2: be the free agents in the secondary. Tariq Wollan, Josh Job,
- 58:23Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant, Tay Ocatta are all free agents of some sort. Bryant, Job,
- 58:27Speaker 2: woolenall UFAs, Ocata is restricted. So you guys say, I'll
- 58:31Speaker 2: take in a cornerback out of South Carolina Brand and SISA,
- 58:34Speaker 2: But more importantly a bigger picture, what do you do
- 58:38Speaker 2: with that at that defensive back positions. I'm going to
- 58:41Speaker 2: guess you're going to try to keep one of Woolan er,
- 58:44Speaker 2: Job and probably Ocatta, and maybe that means that Kobe
- 58:49Speaker 2: Bryant and somebody else have to walk. So what do
- 58:51Speaker 2: you do there? And what does the class look like
- 58:53Speaker 2: for outside corners.
- 58:56Speaker 10: That's a great question. I mean, that's the thing is,
- 58:58Speaker 10: I do think percent agree with your assessment there. I
- 59:01Speaker 10: think the Seahle's and keep one corner and may wind
- 59:04Speaker 10: up losing Kobe Bryant because of Taia Kata being restricted
- 59:07Speaker 10: free agent. You know, I think that the amount of
- 59:10Speaker 10: money that Rik Wollen is going to likely receive in
- 59:13Speaker 10: free agency, just because the trades are undeniable there, he
- 59:17Speaker 10: is requolled like to just be the you know, the
- 59:19Speaker 10: the most polarizing player on the Seahawks roster from a
- 59:22Speaker 10: Seahawks fan perspective, but from scouts, you know, they just
- 59:26Speaker 10: see the unbelievable talent that he possesses.
- 59:28Speaker 6: So I think that he's going.
- 59:29Speaker 10: To get a big offer in free agency, and I
- 59:31Speaker 10: think that the Seahawks likely have watched him play his
- 59:34Speaker 10: last game uh as a member of the Seahawks. With
- 59:38Speaker 10: as much as it pains me to say it, because
- 59:39Speaker 10: I think that's well, the turnaround that he has shown
- 59:42Speaker 10: this year for Mike McDonald and Carl Scott has been
- 59:46Speaker 10: a remarkable.
- 59:46Speaker 6: One Josh job. But I think just think it's going
- 59:48Speaker 6: to be.
- 59:48Speaker 10: More of a you know, the player that you can
- 59:51Speaker 10: bring back at a much more palatable salary and still
- 59:53Speaker 10: plays cleaner all around ball. Brandon ce Say, as you mentioned,
- 59:57Speaker 10: it was my selection for seeaut number thirty two. Overall,
- 1:00:00Speaker 10: he's six foot, one hundred and ninety pounds. He plays
- 1:00:02Speaker 10: the run with a grit that McDonald requires.
- 1:00:07Speaker 6: He is still a little rough.
- 1:00:08Speaker 10: Around the edges in terms of his you know, route anticipation,
- 1:00:12Speaker 10: but he is a phenomenal athlete. He's going to prove
- 1:00:15Speaker 10: that a couple of weeks at the Combine. He's the
- 1:00:17Speaker 10: kind of guy that is going to go end up
- 1:00:18Speaker 10: going in the first round.
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: As I feel like I say.
- 1:00:21Speaker 10: This every year, Ian that it feels like Seattle's needs
- 1:00:25Speaker 10: often mirror some of the best draft classes. And while
- 1:00:29Speaker 10: this draft class is not really really good in my opinion,
- 1:00:32Speaker 10: like it's average at best at most positions, cornerback is
- 1:00:36Speaker 10: actually one of the stronger groups. So if it's not
- 1:00:39Speaker 10: a Brandon Seesay from South Carolina, then on the Eastern Seaboard,
- 1:00:44Speaker 10: then then maybe one of the Western Seaboard. One of
- 1:00:46Speaker 10: my favorite players Chris Johnson, the corner from San Diego State.
- 1:00:50Speaker 10: He's not the same type of athletes as the aforementioned Sisay,
- 1:00:54Speaker 10: but He's also six foot one hundred and ninety pounds.
- 1:00:57Speaker 10: He also plays in quality run defense, and he is
- 1:01:00Speaker 10: an absolute tactician with how he sets up receivers and
- 1:01:04Speaker 10: basically forces them to commit. He's that terrific short area
- 1:01:08Speaker 10: of quickness and he gets his hands on the football
- 1:01:10Speaker 10: more than does and so he's another one that is
- 1:01:13Speaker 10: a little bit under the radar. Probably is going to
- 1:01:15Speaker 10: earn high second round grades from a lot of clubs,
- 1:01:18Speaker 10: but the seaowts at that point if they are going
- 1:01:20Speaker 10: for need. I think that it fits in very well
- 1:01:23Speaker 10: with some of the players that should be among the best.
- 1:01:26Speaker 6: It's still available at thirty two.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it's the other part of the thing
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: we kind of wonder, right, is this, do you do
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: you value the player more in that defense or do
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: you value the coach? In other words, like, look, some
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: elite players, Devin Witherspoon is elite. We all understand that
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: Artic Jones, what he did. There's a handful of guys
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: like that, right, Bider Murphy, Leonard Williams, blah blah blah.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: But like, do you think in the Mike McDonald's scheme
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: he has that ability to coach guys up and make
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: a guy like wool and Joe or Bryant replaceable.
- 1:01:57Speaker 10: I think you can Carl Scott as well. I mean,
- 1:02:00Speaker 10: that's why cars Scott's getting some interest, you know. I
- 1:02:03Speaker 10: believe by the Arizona Cardinals the defensive coordinator you know,
- 1:02:06Speaker 10: and so and possibly if if Clint Kuback or anybody
- 1:02:09Speaker 10: else is going to hire somebody from Seattle's staff, that
- 1:02:13Speaker 10: carls Scott could want to be in the future defensive
- 1:02:14Speaker 10: coordinator here in Seattle. Currently, of course, is works with
- 1:02:17Speaker 10: the secondary. As you mentioned, I do believe that they
- 1:02:21Speaker 10: they think that they can teach their the secondary play
- 1:02:24Speaker 10: just because of Witherspoon and Emon Warrior and the versatility
- 1:02:30Speaker 10: that they provide, the fact that you do have quality
- 1:02:32Speaker 10: safety play behind them. So that's why I think that
- 1:02:35Speaker 10: maybe they would go to the defensive LINEU you know
- 1:02:38Speaker 10: that normally talked about before NFL teams most scouts I
- 1:02:42Speaker 10: talked to general managers, they're they're pretty you know, hesitant
- 1:02:46Speaker 10: to get that second contract to a running back. And
- 1:02:48Speaker 10: when all is the same, basically you draft for Biggs.
- 1:02:51Speaker 10: And I think that the fact that boy Mafe is
- 1:02:54Speaker 10: also a free agent. You have some guys, some aging
- 1:02:56Speaker 10: players and DeMarcus Lawrence Echenna Nwosu on that edge roll
- 1:03:02Speaker 10: as as terrific as Derek Hall was in the Super
- 1:03:04Speaker 10: Bowl two sacks. I mean he was an early defensive MVP,
- 1:03:08Speaker 10: you know, candidate himself. I think that might be an
- 1:03:11Speaker 10: area they go and a couple of the pass rushers
- 1:03:14Speaker 10: in his class and really intrigued me.
- 1:03:16Speaker 6: Akeeme at Mesador.
- 1:03:17Speaker 10: We've talked a lot about him from Miami, but another
- 1:03:20Speaker 10: one we have not talked about. Frankly been and remiss
- 1:03:23Speaker 10: and not mentioning our Mason Thomas, sixty two d and
- 1:03:26Speaker 10: fifty pounder from Oklahoma. He is underside six two two fifty.
- 1:03:31Speaker 10: But I just thought that that Seattle lacked like a
- 1:03:34Speaker 10: screamer off of the edge or true closer. That's part
- 1:03:36Speaker 10: of the reason why they had to send Devil Witherspoon
- 1:03:39Speaker 10: on those nickel blitzes, and obviously it was very effective,
- 1:03:41Speaker 10: but I think if they also could use a speed rusher.
- 1:03:44Speaker 10: And again, there is just one thing that's very clear
- 1:03:47Speaker 10: to me, Ian is that regardless of what player on
- 1:03:50Speaker 10: defense the Seahawks ultimately are at bringing in, they must
- 1:03:53Speaker 10: match a certain level of physicality otherwise they're just not
- 1:03:56Speaker 10: even going to be a candidate for this squad. And
- 1:04:00Speaker 10: Mason Thomas, despite his size, you know, he plays with
- 1:04:03Speaker 10: that physicality, with that want to he's he kind of
- 1:04:06Speaker 10: wants the spotlight on himself and then again has the
- 1:04:09Speaker 10: speed off the edge.
- 1:04:10Speaker 6: I think that is going to make him a very
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: highly prized commodity.
- 1:04:14Speaker 10: Not an early first round pick though a guy laid
- 1:04:16Speaker 10: portion the first, maybe top of the second. And I
- 1:04:19Speaker 10: think somebody has that kind of championship pedigree, that that
- 1:04:22Speaker 10: the eye of the tiger kind of mentality that the
- 1:04:23Speaker 10: Seahawks have obviously prioritized with McGill.
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: But again going all the way back to Josh Shadder.
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: All right, let me wrap it up with this. It
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: is our good friend Rob Rang, brought to you by
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: for Elli's Pizza. Just final thing and we'll have people
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: check out. I'll send out a link later of the
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: columns Great Calum first round mock draft for Rob Rang.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: Is it a foregone conclusion Mendoza's going number one overall?
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: I certainly think so.
- 1:04:48Speaker 10: I just think that you know, whether the Raiders keep
- 1:04:50Speaker 10: the pick, which I suspect they will, or if.
- 1:04:53Speaker 6: They trade to somebody else.
- 1:04:54Speaker 10: It's just the value of the position is you know,
- 1:04:57Speaker 10: just absolutely requires that.
- 1:04:59Speaker 6: And you know, it was kind of like the Friando
- 1:05:02Speaker 6: Mendoza and uh and Sam Donold.
- 1:05:04Speaker 10: I think we're near images of each other in some ways,
- 1:05:08Speaker 10: and that at every turn there were critics out there
- 1:05:11Speaker 10: willing to you know what, he ready to jump on
- 1:05:14Speaker 10: these guys if they made any mistakes, and both of
- 1:05:16Speaker 10: them continue to answer questions. Mendoza, you know, was phenomenal
- 1:05:20Speaker 10: down the stretch and led a team that no one
- 1:05:22Speaker 10: was expecting to win the championship and basically passed through
- 1:05:26Speaker 10: every gauntlet that was put ahead of him. So I
- 1:05:27Speaker 10: can't imagine this scenario, and especially in a draft class
- 1:05:30Speaker 10: like this one that frankly is lacking a little bit
- 1:05:33Speaker 10: as far as the top end talent, that the unquestioned
- 1:05:36Speaker 10: top three quarterback winds up going number one overall.
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, it's it's it feels like it's
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: that God who we we talked about so many quarterbacks
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: at the start of the season, all those guys that
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: fell off the face of the earth. That listen, next
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: week's Senior Bowl or not Senior Bowl combine. That's always fun.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: Once we get through that, tons of talk about I'm
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: off next Friday, but we'll start doing this again real soon.
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: In the meantime, Rob, as always, I thank you. Go
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: check out the link. I sent it out yesterday on Thursday.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: I'll send it back out on the KJR account of
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: Rob Rang's mock draft and you can go through it
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: and read. It's great stuff and yeah and probably just
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: real fast rop good year to have only four picks
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: right now as it stands.
- 1:06:13Speaker 10: Well, and we know Josh Shutter I means very likely
- 1:06:16Speaker 10: trade number thirty two overall and move down and acquires
- 1:06:20Speaker 10: some more selections. But yes, I ultimately and again I
- 1:06:23Speaker 10: think if that was part of the reason why he
- 1:06:25Speaker 10: was as willing to peddle the third and fourth round
- 1:06:27Speaker 10: picks for a guy who is an immediate difference maker
- 1:06:30Speaker 10: in Rashid Shahit. I think that is recognizing the relative
- 1:06:34Speaker 10: talent that's coming up is going to four is going
- 1:06:37Speaker 10: to allow you either be more or less aggressive and
- 1:06:40Speaker 10: making trades of draft picks, and then again just kind
- 1:06:43Speaker 10: of recognizing the positional value of guys. That's why I
- 1:06:48Speaker 10: do this even with only four selections right now.
- 1:06:51Speaker 6: And I still think this is going to want.
- 1:06:52Speaker 10: To be a fascinating draft class to really jump into
- 1:06:56Speaker 10: it when it comes to Seahawks.
- 1:06:57Speaker 7: Rob.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: You know what, it never hasn't been in all the
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: ars we've been doing this, it's always been good. It's
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: we might go in there thinking we'll see and it
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: ends up being great for some reason one way or
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: the other. And that's why we love having you on.
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: We'll talk to you soon, my friend.
- 1:07:09Speaker 6: Thank you, looking forward to it as always been.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Pick care that is Rob rang. We'll take a break,
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: come back, put a rap on the week with some
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: check of text messages four nine four y five one.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: It's coming dodge text line that's four nine four or
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: five one that's coming up next.

- 1:07:40Speaker 8: Hey signed out to the twelve.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: Cole things real quick. I want to get to uh.
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: I'll get to text a second four nine four to
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: five one. We got a bunch. Actually, I appreciate you guys.
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: Let me let me get to that in a second.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: Just real quick. The NBA All Star weekend is this weekend,
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: and you know our policy here we refuse to talk
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: about the NBA less it's relevant to us. I don't
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: know if it's relevant to us this weekend or not.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: Here's the thing. The Commissioner will speak tomorrow about what
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: one o'clock Pacific time. Yes, Adam Silver. I just sometimes
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: I read the tea leaves. Think you know there was
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: a thing last week for our Monday I guess it
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: was this week the beat writer or a NBA writer
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: from Dallas posted something that's going to be a great
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: year for Seattle and just kind of a vague tweet.
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: Whatever last week, we could go today. Actually, we were
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: hearing the story about the governor speaking to Adam Silver
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: at Governor Ferguson speaking to Adam Silver, and it was
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: phrased to me by a Ferguson staffer on Saturday. When
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: I finally got a whole side person, then it was
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: just literally what you've probably seen by now. Introductory meeting. Hey,
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: how are you. I'm Bob Ferguson, I'm a Sonics fan.
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: Let me know what we can do very much an
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: introductory phone call. I think I've told you guys this
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: a million times, and I don't need to be the
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: one telling you because it's a common sense. But I
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: can tell you just from the inner workings of things,
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: the governor and or the mayor are not the people
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: you need to worry about here. Now. If we had
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: a building issue, if we had a building issue or
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: an occidental street issue, then that's a different story. But
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: in terms of we already have a building, that's that,
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: they're just there window dressing. So whether it be mayor Wilson,
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: governor Ferguson, they mean nothing to us introductory meeting. What
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: we here tomorrow may be more of the same, maybe nothing,
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: They may be not. A lot of times those press
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: conferences are very much controlled what questions are asked. I
- 1:09:57Speaker 2: know this. The Seattle Times is not staffing it. Tim
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: Booth has been covering the story. It does a great job.
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: Does Tim phenomenal job covering this story. One of the reasons, frankly,
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: he was hired by the Times is to cover this
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: particular story along with other stuff that he can do. Baseball, football,
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: he just finished and he's actually well with Kate does
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: a great job with hockey, but that's kind of his
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: one of the things he got hired for. He's not
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: even covering it. They're not sending him down there for this,
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: which is interesting to me. Will there be something said,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Will there be anything in tangible coming out of it?
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: Maybe maybe we'll all be surprised and they'll say, hey,
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: we're on a path towards expansion. It could be we're
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: putting the committee together officially, although there already is a committee.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: It's the two committees that have that aren't called expansion committee.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: One's a finance committee. So who knows where we're going
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: to be. Sounds more like March and or summer League.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: In the middle of the summer, we'll hear something tangible.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: With all those timetables in place, we're still probably looking
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: at a couple of years out, yes, for a team. Earliest,
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: more than likely would be twenty twenty eight, unless it
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: gets done in the next couple weeks. But there's no, no,
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: nothing that says that will happen.
- 1:11:06Speaker 4: No. And then there's always the question of emergency relocation.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: And that's a part that's going to be an interesting dynamic.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: There's a lot more smoke coming out of Portland these
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: days in regards to the building. The Modus Center formerly
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: the Rose Garden, thirty year old building thirty yeah, thirty
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: years thirty two years old, actually building that's down there.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: They don't like it. New ownership coming in Seattle. I've
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: said this is zillion times, and I truly do believe.
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: I believe it more every day. We are still upon
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: in this process. We are, and until they figure out
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: the Portland building situation, the situation in Memphis, maybe even
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: New Orleans, we are a more important piece not having
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: an NBA team than having an NBA team.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Yes, we are the threat one other on.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: The end, but let's hope, let's cross our fingers. Trust me.
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: My vacation starts in twenty eight minutes.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: Not that anyone's counting.
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: Not that I'm counting, but my staycation, I should say
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: more specifically, but that's the best kind of in now.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: Twenty seven minutes from now. I will be paying attention
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: at one o'clock tomorrow to see what he says. I
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: will be too, because there may be something that comes
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: out of it. Finally, the NBA is broken. It is
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: so broken right now. I don't know if you guys
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: saw this. I didn't mentioned the headlines. Probably should have.
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: The NBA fined the Utah Jazz five hundred thousand dollars
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: for effectively tanking. They trade for Jaron Jackson Junior. He
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: played three quarters set out the fourth quarter in a
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: game that, by the way, they won. The reason they're
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: being fined if you needed any other reason to hate
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: all things Oklahoma City, if you needed any other reason
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: they hate Oklahoma City. I didn't, we do, We don't,
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: but they just keep adding on the report's coming out
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: and talking to my boys in Salt Lake. The Oklahoma
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: City Thunder have a Jazz first round pick this year. Now,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: the Jazz have a ton of picks, by the way,
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: over the next couple of years, but they have a
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: Jazz first round pick this year that is top eight protected.
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: They want the Jazz to be decent enough where that's
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: not a problem, and they get that pick and they
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: can add. And the rumor is what most people believe,
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: is that the Jazz got thrown under the bus and
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: Oklahoma City went and told on them to the principal
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: thus and they got fined five one thousand. Ryan Smith
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: is the owner of the jazz Man. He had some
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: pointed things to say on social media about this. I
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: don't know what what the NBA is doing. You're gonna
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: Ryan Smith a game, but the Ryan Smith's the guy
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: you want. And there's a plenty of tanking going on.
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: Let me let me reference you to Kawhi Leonard and
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: other superstars that obviously take so many flipping' maintenance days,
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: load management days and all this. Yeah, the Jazz are
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: tank and one hundred percent they're tank and just like
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: the Spurs tank, just like the Oklahoma Sea Thunder tank in.
- 1:14:11Speaker 3: The past, quite prevalent.
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: It happens all the time. Yes, don't pick and shoes
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: now in the middle of the season. You wait until
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: the end of the season to do that. And be
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: is a god. It's a product I just hate with
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: every fiber of my being. But yet I'm also hoping,
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: like hell, it comes back really soon, So I'm very torn.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: Anyway, that's well, that's passion.
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: You know. Apathy is the opposite of love, not hate,
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: and so passion.
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: You still have it?
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: All right, We're good, yes, firewin.
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 1:14:39Speaker 4: Well, a lot of people are asking about Anders and
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: we are hoping that baby Hearst is on the way.
- 1:14:45Speaker 4: And then there was one text hold on here who
- 1:14:48Speaker 4: was actually wondering if Anders was specifically actually.
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: Going to name his child.
- 1:14:54Speaker 4: His firstborn it was Keith Miller, obviously, because he has
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: the best text. Ander's really going to name his son
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: after a Super Bowl champion Seahawks player, I like even Warriors.
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: Andrews would probably name it after a Mariner's player first
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: and a crack and player second.
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I would think that's where his banhood lies.
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: It could be a man, you.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, it could be guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: gonna be sacked. I'm gonna be gone when the baby's
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: born more than likely, because we could do my favorite show,
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: and that's the name Manners a baby for us. I
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: personally like ups Guy after the father. But you know,
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: we can name it whatever you want, maybe the Amazon Guy.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: I don't know whatever you call it.

- 1:16:59Speaker 4: I like it's two four to h To your previous point,
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: the NBA created this load management problem because of the
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: way they schedule these games.
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: I don't blame these players for taking time off.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: Why do't NHL players do not take time off? Is
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: it not more of a physical game? They both play
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: eighty two games. By the way, Okay, just all I
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: need to do is look across every arena that a
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: lot of the shared arenas and go, okay, so so
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: this guy, Let's just shoot Adam Larson, for example, fair
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: playing twenty three minutes a night, walking, one hundred and
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: eighty shots of whatever. This so far this season eighty
- 1:17:34Speaker 2: eight hits. All these things he does. He doesn't miss
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: a game. He's missed one game, you know, the game
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: he missed when his baby was born.
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: Weird, and that is a very valid reason. Let's go
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: to some good stuff.

- 1:17:58Speaker 4: Ernest Jones love watching him play. But it was silly
- 1:18:02Speaker 4: to call whatever when he said them to participate in
- 1:18:06Speaker 4: the FU Tier. But that's kind of his brand. We
- 1:18:08Speaker 4: all knew it was coming.

- 1:22:24Speaker 2: when you have that level of game. Maybe that's the
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: thing we should have at CPA tonight because it's dark, right,
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: bigger yeah, yeah, because you know you could just close
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: the cost A lot to open up CPA, though you'd
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: have to well you know what I bet if I
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: bet if the metro League was smart, see how public
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: schools were smart. And that's a big if. That a
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: quick call to toddlight Wiki and that would happen because
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: last I checked, they're investing a lot of their own
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: money in that new stadium.
- 1:22:49Speaker 8: Yeah, that's true.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Anyway, that's something to look ahead to next year because
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: those metro League games are always this time of year
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: Metro League basketball.
- 1:22:56Speaker 11: As you and I both know, you can just sit
- 1:22:59Speaker 11: and sit in the up to your living room and
- 1:23:01Speaker 11: watch watch final.
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: What the hell do you have there?
- 1:23:04Speaker 6: I don't tell.
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: I didn't get this.
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: I didn't get you like this. I didn't get the
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: lettermans jacket.
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: Huh wow, this is this is.
- 1:23:12Speaker 11: Probably really it's an all black with black sleeves lettermary jacket.
- 1:23:18Speaker 11: I'd say two thousand ish, okay twenty basically vintage. This
- 1:23:25Speaker 11: is oh you know, I truly vintage with the old
- 1:23:27Speaker 11: kids R nine to fifty. So I decided I'm going
- 1:23:30Speaker 11: to a high school game and I'm gonna wear my
- 1:23:32Speaker 11: letterman jacket. And that leads me to a question. I
- 1:23:33Speaker 11: already discussed this with the Boss because he has a
- 1:23:36Speaker 11: couple of kids that recently graduated in high school. So,
- 1:23:38Speaker 11: you know, I have a son that is a letterman
- 1:23:41Speaker 11: in high school. And I was like, hey, you want
- 1:23:43Speaker 11: you want me to get your letter jacket? He was like, sure,
- 1:23:46Speaker 11: that'd be cool.
- 1:23:47Speaker 8: They are sweet.
- 1:23:49Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:23:49Speaker 8: I go down to Fife there and you know he's
- 1:23:51Speaker 8: he's the goes the same school that I did.
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, it's cool.
- 1:23:55Speaker 5: You know you have one.
- 1:23:55Speaker 8: I have one. Maybe we'll get a picture and stuff.
- 1:23:58Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:23:58Speaker 8: He got it in March of last year. How many
- 1:24:01Speaker 8: times you warn it?
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: None, that'd be zero.
- 1:24:03Speaker 11: And I asked him, say, hey, hey, Bud, you know
- 1:24:05Speaker 11: Dad's wearing the old letterman jacket.
- 1:24:07Speaker 8: They want you want you bust out your letterman jacket.
- 1:24:09Speaker 11: And he's like, He's like, Dad, why would I wear
- 1:24:11Speaker 11: a mountain your letterman jacket to a Rainier beach games
- 1:24:13Speaker 11: like repping your school, repping your team, you played basketball,
- 1:24:16Speaker 11: you played basketball.
- 1:24:17Speaker 8: He's like, no, I.
- 1:24:18Speaker 2: Can I can see not wearing it to that game
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: as a high school can do you want to wear
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: it to his high school football game? Cause that I
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: don't get because I remember it's not that long ago
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: that I was going to high school football games and
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: watching my kid and everybody else.
- 1:24:33Speaker 8: And you wear a letterman jacket.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: Okay, So he got his after his freshman or sophomore year,
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: one of those two, and he'd wear it on occasion.
- 1:24:44Speaker 2: But like we're but here's the problem, Like he played
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: the two main sports. You would wear it at a
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: football so he couldn't, but he would wear it. He
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: wore it a handful of times. Now we actually I
- 1:24:56Speaker 2: just had this conversation. It's funny bringing it up, like a
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, because then he was a COVID.
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: His senior year was COVID. But before senior year, like
- 1:25:04Speaker 2: his letterman jackets pretty playing right now it's got like basketball, football,
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: I think academic or something else on there, right, and
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: then after that there's other stuff to put on there
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: like all conference yea, yeah, yeah, captain, a bunch of
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: other things. And then he actually ran track through shops
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: last year. I said, do you want me to go
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: get all done up? He goes yeah, whatever. Maybe, but
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, you know what, in twenty years,
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: you're gonna want that, Yes, like when you're Dick's age.
- 1:25:30Speaker 8: But you're not gonna wear it when you're forty.
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: No, but you're gonna want it because I know, like
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: I have a couple of friends that have, like you know,
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: like mine is the most plain, basic thing. I don't
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: think I never got a jacket. I think I just have.
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: I just have a letter. I'd like the letter I
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: let jacket.
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: I have like a bunch of letters in a case.
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: I just have an oh somewhere at my mom's house.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: Like literally, that's all I have.
- 1:25:48Speaker 11: But I think you should put all on this and stuff?
- 1:25:50Speaker 11: Should I put his patches? Like he's all he's gotten
- 1:25:53Speaker 11: on call conference the first duo. Think what you think, dude,
- 1:25:55Speaker 11: I'm not gonna spend fifty bucks if you're never.
- 1:25:57Speaker 8: Gonna wear the jacket.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: I think you put it on. I think you do
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: an and now it brings me maybe I'll do this
- 1:26:01Speaker 2: in the near future. For him is because his so
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: his girlfriend went to the same high school. More than
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: likely they're going to get married. Okay, okay, they both
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: were good athletes, both play callege, but they were both
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: really good athletes and both good suits. She's got a
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: ton of stuff I think on hers. I think at
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: some point he's gonna want that because there is a
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: little competitive nature between the two of them. So I'm gonna,
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: I think.
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: A just do it a couple couple.
- 1:26:24Speaker 11: I find a girlfriend for him that has a bunch
- 1:26:27Speaker 11: of patches on her jackets.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: And you should get no. And I think, I think,
- 1:26:30Speaker 2: what the point is this? I think you should get
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: the stuff done because he's not ware to just take
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: it down there and get it done.
- 1:26:35Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: Done. By the way, the best business in the state
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: is whoever owns that that store. In my life, it's
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: like the the only one left. It's a monopoly. They
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: have a monopoly on let them as jacket Well, you know.
- 1:26:46Speaker 8: Why because people don't wear them anymore. So all the
- 1:26:48Speaker 8: other ones could.
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: You go to When you're coaching hoops Mount Rainer, do
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: you see kids wearing letterman jackets in the stand? Very rarely,
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: my guys. So my guy's five six years removed, And
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: how prevalent was it. It was really prevalent. It's just
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: my last half decade, like a Tahoma.
- 1:27:05Speaker 7: Like.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: I don't think I ever went to a football or
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: basketball game didn't see a ton of kids wearing them
- 1:27:10Speaker 2: all the time, you know, four nine, four, five one? Yeah?
- 1:27:14Speaker 8: I mean, what's going on with the letterman's jackets?
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: You have kids?
- 1:27:17Speaker 11: Are you a kid or you're recently graduated? You have
- 1:27:19Speaker 11: kids in high school? Are they wearing them? If not,
- 1:27:22Speaker 11: why not four nine, four or five one? I need
- 1:27:24Speaker 11: to get to the bottom of this because it's pissing me.
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: I will I will say every Koog that comes back,
- 1:27:29Speaker 4: where's their letterman y?
- 1:27:30Speaker 11: The Seahawks had championship Letterman's jackets.
- 1:27:33Speaker 8: I even showed Dixon to the Predus. I can't look
- 1:27:34Speaker 8: at that. Hey, hey, you know what, Sam Darnold's cool
- 1:27:37Speaker 8: in the first letterman jacket?
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: Why are you?
- 1:27:39Speaker 2: I don't think letterman jackets have gone out of style.
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: I think they've always been cool. And tell me what
- 1:27:44Speaker 2: people say later. You know what I have? I have
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: a jacket like that from one of the hockey teams
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: I work for. I'm I'll have to wear that in there.
- 1:27:51Speaker 6: Yeah, do it?
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: I love it.
- 1:27:52Speaker 11: I'm not the most comfort It is the.
- 1:27:56Speaker 8: Greatest Northwest jacket.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: It's a wintertime.
- 1:27:59Speaker 8: I wore it every day in high school.
