  Speaker 1: possible if there's a nice breeze coming in, and then
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'll just throw a blanket over there. Yeah. Well that's
• 1:40

• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a twenty five year old man.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you.

• 1:57

• 2:17
  Speaker 3: bring it up to you because we're friends. Yeah yeah,
• 2:22

  Speaker 3: Well I'm sorry about it, Charles Cross, right, Oh yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: no that you got to earn the respect of the alignment.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Your secret is safe with me. Uh well, great morning too.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You can't wait to get Hughes observations from day number one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But can I just say one other quick aside before
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: we get going.
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You know that Terry Ryan's the best in the business, right, yes,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: been for years. Yeah. I mean I've been around a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: lot of engineers. Nobody does it better, smoother, quicker, more efficiently.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I mean he is, he is number one. But I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: finally have my first criticism of Terry Ryan. Okay, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he's sitting with an airshot. Yeah yeah, he turns out
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Terry Ryan is a tailgater. Oh I come into the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You're just like outing everybody. I'm out and everybody. Wait
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: all Ashley gets a load to me today. Yeah, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: come in. I am behind a semi truck. There's nowhere
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that I can go unless I pass on Seahawk Lane,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, somebody just flies up. I'm like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: where do you think I'm gonna go, buddy, and it
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and and so I pull in. He's like pulling in
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: right behind it, right on my tail. And I'm like,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Who this is.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: If they're gonna say anything to me, I'm fighting. I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: don't care if it is Charles Cross. We're gonna fight
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in the park.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Actually, and I can take it for a segment. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: want to see you guys in an arcticon. I didn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: say I was gonna start a fight.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I said if he now said something to me about
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: driving too slow, I don't care. If this is Sam Darnold,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna we're gonna we're gonna go to blows. Yeah, Terry,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: there's your opportunity. He driving around like Grandpa, Like, I'm
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: behind a semi. But you know, you could have been
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: closer to the semi.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I think there was a lot of room between you
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and that semi.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're all going to the same playing the same
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: spot and.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Then so I'm going all the way to the k
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: j R spots and I'm like, yeah, this guy's going
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to follow me all the way. Do I deserve to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: be Terry? I don't. Didn't. He could have passed me
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: if he wanted. I had six inches in front of me,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and that's between me and the semi.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I think I think Terry's in bus number one.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Tailgater, Terry the tailgate.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: On a on a on a trip to uh to
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: play Oregon. Yeah, pulled over and had a bus driver
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: fired for having bus number two pass bus number one
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: because he was in bust number one.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: That is a true story.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow, yes, yeah, that's yeah, that's crazy.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You don't pass bust number Yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: See, if I never brought up Terry the Tailgater, we
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: would have never had James Jim like that. Yeah, he's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: got a lot of gems.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Oh that man all right, By the way, I respect
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: him more than any man I've ever known, including my father. Sorry, Dad,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: we're up there listening. But so, no, that's not what
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you said. Before Terry came here. Did you consider doing
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the slam on the brake steal to get his attention?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I did know, but I did the flailing arms, like,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: do you not see what's in front of me? I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: don't know if you even saw that throwing digits around. No,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: didn't throw any digits, but I did slow down extra
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: slow in the parking lot just to see making angry.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: So what was your immediate response when you realize that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Terry freaking right?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Well? When I pulled in, I'm like, I kind of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you're narrowing it down, like it could be
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I know what hughes driving this week, So it's not Hugh.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I thought Terry would be in the KJR van if
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it was Terry, but then oh yeah, but all of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a sudden, he's got like a truck. He's got like
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a pickup truck, and so then he pulls in and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's gotta be Terry, and it was Terry.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And I did almost say something jokingly, but Terry already
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: had stuff on his mind today, so he got out.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Of the truck like, uh so you're playing into my theory, man.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: I tell my wife, I'm like, ninety of the A
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: holes on the road are in a pickup truck, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: the guys in a pickup trucker are a holes. Like
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: like and by the way, I generally in other realms,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I feel like I have a real kinship with pickup drivers. Yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: but yeah, there's something about that. They come in hot
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: behind you cut if you cut you off. Oh what
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: a surprise. See I was just gonna go to the Silverado. Yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: like that never happened before.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I was just gonna stop at Terry the tailgat you
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: went to Terry d a hole? Wow, wow, wow, look
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: what happened in there?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I I'm ready to play on Chuck's side. Now, Terry,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: what do you think of that? So that's right, Well
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: we're all need to get over the pass.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, well we should talk some foo y,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: let's talk some football. Hugh Mellon out here yesterday at
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: training camp, day number three of training camp, and Hugh
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: stalk on the sidelines. Not unlike Don James. You know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: just look, I would need a tower. Yeah, you need
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a tower, need a tower for to do the DJ.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I love that tower. Yeah that's Bear Bryant.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Bryant. Yeah, no, it's Don James style.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So Barry took it from Don James in my world, yes.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, OK, no explanation demand. Okay a Don, Yes, so
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Don Bryant, I'll hoppied Don James. Okay, so everything Don
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: James did, he was the first god.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I wish you had a tower here. I wish they
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: build you a tower. I want you to have a tower.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I'm having a chalkolate.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Well there's a there's a tower with an electric cord.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I could go. You might not have a close tomorrow.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: He might stand hung out with the eagles up there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: All right, So what we see? What what stood out
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to you yesterday? Well, I think the first thing I
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: was not concerned about. What's curious was what is their
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: backup with without Emon Worry? What what is their their
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: what I'll call base Their base defense is what people
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: call a nickel because Emon Worry is technically a dB,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: but he's an outside linebacker. And so it's kind of like, Okay,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: if they lined they had to line up and play today,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: who would be the guy that replaces him? And as
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: it turns out, they bring in Witherspoon. We talked yesterday
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: about how, uh, the prior year twenty twenty four, Witherspoon
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: only played thirty percent outside corner and he was inside
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Obviously the rest of his snaps. Then last year he
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: was he was fifty one percent outside corner, so they're
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: they're they're keeping him more outside. So yesterday was kind
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: of a throwback to Witherspoon's first couple of years where
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: he was inside more. And so they had Neamia Pritchett
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: as the starting corner on one side opposite Josh job
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and uh and so you had Spoon on the uh
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: on the inside and uh and and so that's that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: again reminiscent of years past. And then would you practice
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that either way or do you did you see that as.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is in case Demon Worry is not here preparation, Well.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I think you always have to have a plan. Even
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: if Emon Worry had not had his ankle issue that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: put him on the pup list, and you would still
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: have to have some conditional You wouldn't necessarily be practicing
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: that in day three, like you know, you'd have your ones,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, just by attrition or or people
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: you know, get strains or what have you. You know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: it's not like in the first day of if everybody's
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: start healthy and we say okay, ones. You know again,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: what their base defense is is technically a Nickel. Then
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: all the healthy number ones are going to go out
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: there and take those reps. So in this case, it
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: would just be well, okay, even worries out. So okay,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: how do we handle that. We'll preach it. You go in,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: you play corner, Spoon, you drop into the slot. Now
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: you're losing about thirty nine pounds by combine weight. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: go from one eighty one to or two twenty to
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: one eighty one. So and that's one of the issues
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: why I think that Spoon was playing more outside there.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and actually finished I thought last year pretty strong.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: After questioning him for most of his career, he actually
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: did show I thought a spark. I thought he showed
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: some improvement by the end of life.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, so just just as a refresher. So
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Neamyah Pritchard was a fourth rounder and three. This is
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: his third year, six foot buck ninety and when he
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: came in the league, got to Auburn, there was a
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: feeling in that that maybe he didn't have the physicality,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: the physical.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Presence that they wanted.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: So I think he's spent he spent time in the
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: weight room, he transformed his body, and I'll tell you,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Chuck I've seen this countless times. Guys come in and
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: and and they're not really ready to play hardball, you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: just mentally physically, they go in the weight room, all
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, they get jacked. They look in the mirror. Oh, man,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I got some pecs, I got some you know, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: got some volleyballs attached to my soldiers. And and and
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: they see those guns, they feel those guns. It transforms
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: their mind too. So now all of a sudden they
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: they play with a physical you know, it's like, hey,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I earned the right to go be nasty and and
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: and it's it's it's like it always happens. And you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: when a guy comes in, he's skinny, he hasn't really
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: committed himself to weight room. You've got the physical deficiency,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: but you've got the mental deficiency in his mind somehow,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: you know, the kazoo on his shoulder is telling him, dude,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you can't play hardball in this league.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: You know, you're living on twigs and berries like you
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: got like you know, we can need some red meat
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: in your ass, you know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And and uh and so.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: So I think the mental transformation accompanies the physical transformation
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: almost without fail And I think that's what's happened with him.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: So I think he's ready to get feisty. I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: he's ready to get nasty. And he always had the
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: physical traits, uh, you know, the movement traits, but the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: physicality is coming along. So I think that he's one
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: of the guys. You know, look, Rick Willan's gone.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: He's an eagle.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: And so I think if you're a real Seahawk fan,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: you're saying, okay, tell me about the corners, and I would,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: I would submit to you on the entire roster. This
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: is a this is a talented, deep roster. There's a
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: reason why they're no worse than the top five. You know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: they're in the top five by anybody's estimation in terms
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: of Super Bowl. You know most people are saying top two.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, there's good reasons and we're going to discuss all that.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: But if you said, okay, where they made perhaps the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: least deep, I guess.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: That would be the shallowest on the roster. I would
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: say it's cornerback.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: So so I think I think it's it's a conversation piece.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: This is not going to be the last time we
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: talked about the cornerbacks. You mentioned Bud Clark yesterday. Did
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: he pop it all to you? You know, I will
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: confess that my vision of Bud Clark, after listening to
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Mike McDonald on the night he was drafted and evaluating
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: him on his TCU tape, I had anticipated that they
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: would want to play him more down by the line
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage and have him front and back. He's more
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: he's been more of a back end guy, like a
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant replacement.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: You know. I expected that maybe they.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Wanted some versatility, that when they went dime, you'd have
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Emon Worry on one side, you'd have Bud Clark on
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: the other, and you would leave that would leave Spoon
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and job to the outside for now. But Bud Clark
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: was playing in the back end. I put my eyes
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: on him a lot number nine. But I would say
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: there there wasn't really a lot of opportunities where where
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: he was showcased near the ball. The ball didn't really
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: find him yesterday. That just that, and that's just uh,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you know, typical often so, so I wouldn't really say
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that that he he stood out to me because he
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: didn't make any really big plays. He didn't make any
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: big mistakes. It's it's like he didn't have an opportunity.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: It's it's like evaluating a right fielder and the ball
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: never came came to him, right. You know, Well, he
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: he jogged after the ball that the center fielder caught,
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: and he looked good, you know, fill in the space.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: But you know, we didn't really see what he could do.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: But uh, I think I think also while we're on
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: that subject, I think already Burns, who we've known from
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: from years past. Uh you know, he's a guy that's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: going to be down near the Lion scrimmage, an overhang
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: defender that the you know, the nickel the dime type thing.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: And and and I think where he I remember from
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the Raider preseason game. I really liked him down by
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. When he has to play in
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: the back end. He just does not see the field well.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: He doesn't take good angles, he doesn't react well. So
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I think what you can anticipate is is that you're
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: you may see twenty is he twenty three again? But
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: but uh uh, he's going to be a guy that
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to ask. Uh uh did
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: I say Lardy Burns?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I was thinking. I was thinking the Anthony Bell. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: was thinking.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Any Anthony Bell. I'm sorry, I was thinking the Anthony Bell.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: My mouth said, aready Burns. I think they weren't the
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: same number in the past.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Whatever.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Uh, he's at six one, two eleven, so you know
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: he's packing a little bit more, you know, close to
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: well exactly twenty pounds more than Witherspoon when he comes in.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So so I'm sorry.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: The Anthony Bell is a guy that is better closer
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: to the line of scrimmage. So the whole dB situation
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I already think was a little bit of a concern. Uh,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: even as the roster uh uh presently constituted. I think
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: with Eamon worry that you know, that complicates you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: who's going to be in their nickel and their dime packages.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And again I don't wanna, I don't want to sound
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: in the alarms.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: It's it's a very deep and talented team, and they're
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: fun to watch practice because you just see a lot
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: of dudes out there. But if you're monitoring, if you're
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: if you're pressing for some some moderate concerns, that's what
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: we've been discussed.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Well, to bring a full circle, does it make sense
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: that maybe like a d Anthony Bell, who might crowd
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, might be a tailgater where uh
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: like Cam Chancellor probably is a real tailgat where Earl Thomas,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: it gives you a lot of room.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, if Cam Chancellers are here, you know what
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: you just say, You just put your blinker on, get
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: over to the right and let him go by and
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: wave while he goes by.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: You know what. In fact, absolute if he got knocked
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: out by camp, chats all right, it might be a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: feather in my cap. Yeah, you know, people might think
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of me more fondly. Yeah, he took one and he
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: lived to tell about it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, And and and the attorney might be, uh
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: might be hustling you to go after him. That's right,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: because you were gonna you were gonna have a broken jaw.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: At the least you'll you'll be eating out of a
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: straw for six weeks. Chuck just just saying.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, oh, that didn't think that my camp was gonna
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: start with thoughts of suing bam bam, but uh, maybe
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: we will. All right, let's find out what's on tap

• 19:07
  Speaker 1: of training camp. Day number three headlines really dominated by
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: running backs. Kenny McIntosh waived yesterday. We'll get the reasons
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: from Greg Bell coming up at seven o five today. Also,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Greg and others wrote quite a bit about Jadarian Price's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: practice yesterday. We'll get huge thoughts on that as we
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: go along. But Greg will join us at seven oh five.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, Charles Cross will be with us
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: today at seven forty five here on the radio program.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And I've promised not to tell him that Hugh and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I like a blankie. Also from the National Football League,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Witherspoon negotiations keep going on. Meanwhile, former Husky Vida Veya
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: has told the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I'm done negotiating trade
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: me so they've got some contractual issues in Tampa, not
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: just with their quarterback Baker Mayfield, but also the great Vitavea. Well,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll find some time talk about that later on
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: in the show. The Storm returned to the court tonight,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: second half of the season and the WNBA first game
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: after the All Star Break, and they take on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Indiana Fever and the suddenly red hot Caitlin Clark again.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Six point thirty is your tip MLS on All Star
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Break this week. I'm gonna mention that all week long,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: because that is one stupid thing. And then, of course,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we are six days away from the Major League Baseball
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: trading deadline, and things have gotten very complicated for Jerry
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Depoto and Justin Hollander because the team's not playing well.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: They lost three out of four in Texas. They've gone
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: five and eleven in their last sixteen. They are farther
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: below five hundred than they've been this year, and they
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: just so happened to face the best team in baseball
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the next three nights, in the Los Angeles Dodgers, and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: so I don't know, maybe you do have to put
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: any trade deadline plans on pause right now, because if
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you somehow end up six games under five hundred and
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: three days. I'm not sure that's a team that buys
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: at the trading deadline. After all, Brendan Donovan is expected
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to be activated in time for tonight. It's been a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: while since we've seen him, and man, the Mariners offense
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: could use all the help they can get. We'll talk
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: about some of those things later on in the program.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, though, we will spend some time on
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: yesterday's game. It's Mariner's Morning After on Sports Radio ninety
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. Is a fantastic version. And I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: love this song and now I hate this song because
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Bucky picked it at the beginning of the year, and
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: then we all picked one, and then the listeners voted
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: on it, and I think they voted on it because
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: it's just the best song of the three. Oh, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: now we associate it with a Mariner's loss every time,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: So I now hate it. Everybody hates the song. Yeah,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I warned him, Maybe I warned him at the time.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Well it is disturbingly somber.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, maybe it's a fantastic version. I don't know
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: what at this point, I'll try anything.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I think maybe we need to change things up.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll play a spoonful of sugar after. We'll go
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: with your just get us winning please, Yeah, anything time
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: for Mariners Morning After. Hugh Millan is here. My name
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: is Chuck Pell, Ashley Ryan as well as we have
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: our Mariner post game show. We're gonna talk. We got
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: here here for a reason. You know, we're gonna talk.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: A lot of Seahawks here today, a lot more Seahawks
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: than Mariners. But there are a couple of things we
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: do on a daily basis. Couple of things we do
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. So Ryan Heally will join us
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: at nine. We'll add the ABC's of the MS later
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and we will have Mariners Morning After for you. Right now,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I'll highlight a sound by the preview of what's going
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: on tonight. That is your Mariner postgame show. We just
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: do it the morning after. So the EMS. We're in Texas,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: as we all know, the only day game in Major
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: League Baseball yesterday, coming off a come from behind win.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I think we went into that game thinking, all right,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: here we go, nice come from behind. When let's go,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: let's get some momentum. George is on the mound. Should
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: be good. And instead George gets met by Jock Peterson,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: who homered not just once, but twice against the right hander.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Peterson deep into the corner. This is gone. Two at bats,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: have two homers. Jock Peterson makes it four to one.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Ranger.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I love it when the local play by play guy
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: does capture the mood with his call. That was a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: great call from Aaron there from Mariner's TV, because it
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: was just like, oh boy, because you you do have
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: this feeling now down four to one, that's kind of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: over I mean, that's that's where we're at with this
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: team right now, with all of its terrible offensive production
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: this entire season, you kind of depend on that starting pitcher,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Hugh to give you a good, honest day's work. George
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: has been fantastic as of late. But when George Kirby
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: gives up two home runs in the first three innings
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and you're down three runs, I think Aaron captured it.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: There was just this feeling of old boy, this might
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: be impossible to overcome, and it was.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And Kirby had in that game gave up more
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: runs than he had to the Rangers and in all
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: of last season.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he dominates them.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, and and yet it kind of reminded me
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: of Sam Darnold's game against the Rams, the first one
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: down and where you just say, Okay, the rest of
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the team, whether they played well or they didn't. In
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: fact they had but but you know, the four interceptions, Okay,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: that's the reason.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Why you lost.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: And that's you know, that's gonna happen to quarterbacks and
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: it's gonna happen to starting pitchers. But you know, to
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: give up four bombs. A couple of those were screamers too.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Now the one he described, you know, the right field
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: in Texas has that that that angle like some parks do,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: where where if you sneak it, you know, just inside
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: the foul pole. It's a very short call it porch,
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I guess or whatever, but uh, you know that little
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: section of the stadium there, uh he Jock Peterson was
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: able to find. But he went opo on the first one, right, yeah, yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: and then he pulled he pulled it high and around
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: like a big a big high hook on on his
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: second one. But uh yeah, Kirby just inexplicably, you know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: picked a bad time to uh a four bombs. Seven
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: runs in those four bombs, yeah, seven runs over three.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: That's a more interception game by your quarterback. You're you're
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: almost no chance of overcoming that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four innings pitch, he ended up going four, gave
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: up the seven runs, and he takes the loss. Uh.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The Mariners did scrap out a couple of runs, finished
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: with three on the day. Cold Emerson and Cole Young
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: were terrific the entire series and certainly that one silver
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: lining in all of this, But it's a seven to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: three loss to the Texas Rangers. Here's George after the game.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I really don't know.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, like I want, I want all those adapts back.
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: I just had good opportunities to strike people out O
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: too long too.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: I just love the ball over the plays.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: A nine ers kind of doesn't happen.
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: So see, my community didn't play out the field first
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: week for today or just such a location to matter
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: of execution.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I think it's just not a vacation.
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: So we're just kidding where you guys are at did
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: today saying maybe a little bit of love.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: They were chasing them in the als and this is
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: a huge batrid it just where the.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Schedules out of the trade deadlines the way.
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I don't think about any of that stuff,
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: So like it just stinks because you know, we've been
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: like we've been a better team in them, so it
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: just thinks that we come out and play to our potential.
• 27:03
  Speaker 8: So yeah, for me, that that just your name has
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: been out there in some speculation, rumors, that stuff you're
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: able to block out, So I don't see.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: You George saying I don't follow it all. I don't
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: know if there are trade rumors about me or not.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: He does, but did not want to address it. There
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: you understand, I mean, this is an end of six
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: good starts, four great starts from him. It felt like
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he had been turning it around and it felt like
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: we really needed him yesterday and just picked a bad
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: time for a stinker, and I want to play off
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: of that in our segment. I don't know there's any
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: more reason to break down a seven to three loss yesterday,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: But Hugh, with the specter of Major League Baseball's trading
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: deadline it's now six days away, we have assumed all
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: season long, but all off season as well, that this
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: is going to be a buyer at the trading deadline,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that we're at least going to be in a race.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: We still are in a because the American League has cooperated,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the American League West has cooperated. And yet you're staring
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: at three games against the Los Angeles Dodgers. You've lost
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: three out of four to the Texas Rangers, so you've
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: lost two games worth of ground, two and a half
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: games back in the division. You have lost eleven of
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: your last sixteen games, and you did not use the
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: All Star break to get refreshed because you've played terrible
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: baseball against bad competition frankly since the All Star Break,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and now you're getting ready for a gauntlet of competition
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: that starts tonight with the Los Angeles Dodgers. I would
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: imagine they're still thinking by but I'm also going to
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: imagine that they're not going to make any trades before
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: this series is over, because if you end up getting
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: swept by the best team in the game and are
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: now what six games out of first place and seven
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: games under five hundred, I'm I'm not sure that's a
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: team that is going to buy uh after all of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the trading.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Dutt Yeah, now that's interest six games under five hundred. Well,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: you would know the granular numbers more than me. But
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: is there some generally assumed cutoff of how many games
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: back you are.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And by the way, let's put it this way. The
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers just lost yesterday, and there of course have
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Trek Scooble, which has been a big topic of conversation.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Are they going to trade him or not? And most
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: people in the sport said yesterday that they're looking very close,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: like yesterday might have sensed it that they're going to
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: trade them. And they're seven games under five hundred. Now
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: they're in a little bit of a little bit of
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: a better division than what we are. So you still
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: have the American League West within your sides two and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a half games back that could turn around by Thursday,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: for goodness sake, and so you still do have that
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: at your fingertips. But man, if you're let's you're sixty
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if they will get swept. I
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: don't think that they will get swept. I don't think
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: they'll get swept. But if you're sitting there six games
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: under five hundred, and I don't know how aggressive you
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: would be. You might not be selling, but I don't
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: know how aggressive you're going to be buying. If you're
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: six games under five hundred and let's say four and
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a half games out.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Of first there's one of four outcomes you'd either win zero, one, two,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: or three. I would have to without looking at it
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: at all, I would have to assume the far the
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: most probable.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Of the fours is that you win one. Yeah, I agree,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: which obviously can happen in any of the three games.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: But so so if you assume, let's just say for
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the discussion, you win one of three lose the series.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: I when you said that, it strikes me as my
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: mind thought two things. First of all, Chuck knows this
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: stuff better than me. You know, I don't say history
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: going back thirty years, but just let's say in the
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: last five years what general manners generally view as a cutoff,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: and you're just you're just speaking to that. But then
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: my second thought, as wow, that seemed that would seem
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: surprising to me. If they were still were in attack mode,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: you know, do like let's say they if they lose,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: if they win one of three against the Dodgers, I
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: would still think that they are buyers.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I would think, so I guess my statement is I
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: don't know, especially on a suite, does that change your aggression.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are six days away from it, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean right now it is a absolute
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: seller's market. I mean there's no not any traits. We
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: just lost Casey Schmidt to injury, who was a trade target,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Spencer Steer to injury, who is a trade target. Like
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: there are very few trade targets out there, especially hitters. Yeah,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and we just lost three of them this week. Not
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to mention Byron Buxton will make himself available, so you're
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: gonna have to overpay. So if you add that to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: the specter of my goodness, we cannot get it together
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: and we're getting ready to face great competition and we
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: could be six games under five hundred at the end
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: of this series. I mean, yeah, wait it out. See
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: where you are. You have six days, that's six games
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: to kind of figure out what kind of position you're in.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: But I do wonder if the Dodgers series goes as
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: badly as summer forecasting, if that changes your aggression toward
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the trading deadline. And my guess is that it would interesting.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm picturing a graph as you're talking, and if
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: you said, okay, on the vertical axis, is aggression on
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: the horizontal axis is how many games ahead or behind.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: I view it as kind of like say a bell curve,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: cause we can all envision a bar bell curve. I
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: kind of mean more like a just kind of a hump,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: meaning if you are if you're let's say you're fifteen,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: you know, twelve games in the lead, like you're having
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: an incrediblecity, you're on a pace to win one hundred
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: and sixteen games or something. You don't have as much
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: aggression in that situation because you say, well, you know,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: why tinker with this? Like we are rolling, you know,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: we're fine, you know, And then if you're too far back,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: then you don't. You similarly don't have as much aggression
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: because you say why bother. Then there's a point where
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: cress where the highest point on the graph, again with
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: the vertical axis being your aggressive.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Aggressiveness.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Then you know, is it like.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: You're one game over, you have a one game lead.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I think when you think you are, that's when you're
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: the most, like the most not fifteen games up, but
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: one or two games up.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: That's that's when you're compelled to be the most aggressive.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I think you're compelled to be the most aggressive when
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you think we have a championship team. Let's get the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: final piece or two.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: It puts us soul and you're suggesting it's not binary,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: like your buyers are sellers. Is two hundred and fifty
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: six shades of gray and you're intimating that, Yeah, you
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: might be a buyer.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: I think you might not be a really aggressive buyer.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I think they were as aggressive a buyer as there's been.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: And now, all of a sudden, losing three out of
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: four to Texas, the specter of the competition that's coming up,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: you've dropped behind the Astros. For goodness sake, in the division.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: It's a seller's market, and now all of a sudden,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: what few commodities were on the market have dried up,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know if they're going to give up
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: a Michael Arroyo and an Emerson Hancock for the seventh
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: best hitter on a dry market. I don't know what
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: their aggression level is, but it's it's taken a hit
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: in this series and now we'll have to see what
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: happens in the Dodgers series. But tonight, seven to ten,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: first pitch, Luis Castillo going for the Mariners against the
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: All Star left hander Justin Robleski, So we do not
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: have the pitching advantage. But I'll tell you this about
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the Jerry Depoto era Mariners. Just when you're sure that
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: they couldn't have hit rock bottom, that's when they turn
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: things around. We'll probably win four out of three against
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Just when we are convinced that they're cooked,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: they'll probably go out there and smoke them fifteen to one,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: three straight days. All right. Coming up next, back to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: training camp coverage. And there's one person with a big
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: pay raise that's out here on the field this week
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: this season, and I wonder if he's gonna get a
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: big jump in his production level. Sports Radio ninety three

• 36:22
  Speaker 1: If you were sitting around with your buddies breaking down
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed's contract and need for production this year, what
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: would you tell them?
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I think that he's let's just stipulate he's the premiere
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: return guy in the NFL. I like that.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know that to be the case, but it
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: passes the sniff test, right. You know, you had three
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: touchdowns last year, and two of them are on kickoff returns.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: One was a punt. He's he's a hold your breath
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: kind of a threat on both kickoffs and punts. As
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: a receiver, you've got last year, he was twelve games.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: He was acquired November fourth, twelve games too hundred sixty
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: six yards for a seventeen game season. That's a pace
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: for three hundred and seventy seven yards. That's not enough
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: for seventeen million in my opinion, when you watch the
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: tape there, let's let's talk about the receivers, if if
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: you're coaching receivers, the building blocks, like if you learn
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: the alphabet, then you say, okay that the letters are
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: the roots of a word.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you learn C and A and T. That's
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: kat there.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Let let's talk about four main types of releases when
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: you when you have your vertical stem. Yeah, okay. So
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I'm the receiver, you're the cornerback. I run right at you.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to sell the go route to run by you.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I create separation by by convincing you that I'm gonna
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: run deep, then back you back pedal you, you turn
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: it and run faster. You say, oh crap, because that's
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the that's the thing you don't want is me to
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: beat you deep. So now there's let's just say and
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: there's more. But the four main ones are or we
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: can break at right angles out or in okay, right
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: angles on an inbreaking route or an out breaking round,
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: and that can be one of two things. We're either
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: gonna speed cut it, so I'm gonna come come at you.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: My momentum is gonna take me up the field, but
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna speed cut and go to the inside. And
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: it's roughly a ninety degree bend to the inside, or
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: if my split is tight enough, I can run at
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: you and I can speed cut to the out. Or
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: I can come up and come to a stop and
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: do a square in or a square out. Okay, so
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: now there's those are two type of breaks.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Then there's you.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Remember this term from from school, acute.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: What's an acute angle? Acute is less than ninety degrees.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: I come at you, I drop my hips stop, I
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: come back at an acute angle to the quarterback in
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: breaking route. That's like hook routes out breaking rounde that's
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: like a comeback. So we've got acute angles. And then
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: the opposite of acute is obtuse greater than ninety degrees.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: So now I'm coming at you. I break to the
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: inn on an obtuse angle. That's a post.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I break to the out on an obtuse angle.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: It's a corner.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: So if you're just saying, the fundamental building blocks of
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: the first four letters you're gonna learn about route running
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: are those four acute break, a right angle, speed cut
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: at right angle, square cut, and an obtuse got it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Got it?
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: So when you evaluate him, this is just the core
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: of your route technique. His speed cuts are better than
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: his square cuts or his acute cuts. He telegraphs when
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: he's gonna come to a stop. I think it takes
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: him too long. His kind of souldiers come back and
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: and so there's not an explosion. There's not an in
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: and out explosion to him. Now he's got all the
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: speed you would want, right, but he doesn't track the ball.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: There's a couple of of uh miss. I'll just two
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: off the top of my head from last season one
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: on a uh going to the north side. I don't
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: remember the opponent, but I know he's going to the
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: north end zone. He was aligned on the right. Sam
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Donald threw the ball into a hole uh uh between
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: two defenders, and Donald was seen that, Hey, the guy
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: that the with uh the trailing defender, we gotta pull
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: I gotta pull you into that hole where he was thinking,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna settle in. Settling in his zone is the
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: right thing to do. But it's at the right time,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: in the right pace. Like Jack and Smith and Jigba
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: is giving you a five hundred level class in how
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: to do the exactly how.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: He's easy to read.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: He has great instincts about when in and and to
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: what degree do I idle in a hole? Uh? Uh?
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: Here?
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Uh? This this is the post routes white up and
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: and uh Donald smokes it in there just as she
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: heat is slowing down. And it looks like the balls
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: out in front. And you say that's on the quarterback. No,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: you look at the hole from the end zone. Copy
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: like Shaheed, you got to go into that hole and
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: get it because that def Donald is worried about the
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: defender that you're passing, because he could he could converge
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: on the play.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: The the defender out in front is not a problem.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Another one on a on a post route, Uh, he's
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Donald's expecting to cross the face. He starts across the face,
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: then goes behind him. It look looks like he misses
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: by ten yards.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: That's what he diked.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: The quarterback.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: So there's some just.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Instinctive things about his they're just elements of his receiving
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: game that need polish. He's got all the speed you'd want,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: he doesn't track the ball great. So so I I
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: just I think I I think it's you know, it's
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: gonna improve. Yeah, I think it's gonna be better because
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: he you know, again he was acquired November fourth. But
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: those are some of the concerns I have with Seattle,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: in my opinion, needs a solid number two. I don't
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: think he's proven to be a solid number two. He
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: could be a number two, but these are the questions
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: I have that need to get ironed out. Well.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Perhaps in the now that he's planted in the JSN garden,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: he'll soak up some of those nutrients, you know, yeah,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: and maybe he'll flourish. All right, more on that later
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: because there's more to more to go with that, But
