- 1:33Speaker 2: only been here a little over a decade. You, you know,
- 1:36Speaker 2: a lot of you have been here your entire lives.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I don't know why you look forward to that summer weather.
- 1:40Speaker 2: That July fourth is when summer actually begins here date
- 1:45Speaker 2: because this date historically in my time here like draft time.
- 1:49Speaker 2: For some reason, the weather gets great right around draft
- 1:52Speaker 2: time and then from now until July fourth. To me
- 1:56Speaker 2: is this is the best place in America to be interesting.
- 2:00Speaker 5: I can see, I can see.
- 2:03Speaker 6: I think part of the thing is, though, you don't
- 2:05Speaker 6: like it when it gets hot either. And that's what
- 2:07Speaker 6: people are saying, like, we get our summer weather. We
- 2:09Speaker 6: want July if we want eighty degrees and you're like, no,
- 2:12Speaker 6: I want like sixty seven and sunny.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Want I want yesterday?

- 2:42Speaker 2: course on the play by play call five to win.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Back to back wins for the Mariners over the weekend.
- 2:47Speaker 2: They improved to ten and thirteen on the season and
- 2:50Speaker 2: are just a game and a half back of first
- 2:53Speaker 2: place in the American League West. The A's roll into
- 2:56Speaker 2: town tonight. A's are better than they've been. They're actually
- 3:00Speaker 2: pretty dangerous young team, and so it'll be Emerson Hancock
- 3:03Speaker 2: going for the Mariners versus j T Gin, a right
- 3:08Speaker 2: hander for the A's as the ms with the five
- 3:12Speaker 2: two win yesterday, first home run of the season for
- 3:14Speaker 2: Rob Refsnyder first as a Mariner, and Brian Wu was
- 3:18Speaker 2: fantastic for seven innings. Andre Smuno's fantastic to close out
- 3:23Speaker 2: the Rangers in back to back games to give him
- 3:26Speaker 2: three saves. Now on the year, the NFL Draft is here.
- 3:29Speaker 2: We are three sleeps away from the actual NFL Draft
- 3:32Speaker 2: date of Thursday evening and then three glorious days of
- 3:37Speaker 2: unwrapping draft miss presence Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We've got
- 3:41Speaker 2: your coverage for you right here at Sports Radio ninety
- 3:44Speaker 2: three point three KJRFM, and we really do knock it
- 3:47Speaker 2: out of the park. I say that without hesitation, because
- 3:50Speaker 2: I have very little to do with it. It's Softy,
- 3:53Speaker 2: it's you, it's Rob Rang, it's Ian Furness and a
- 3:57Speaker 2: great cast Jessamine McIntyre up there to cover the draft
- 4:01Speaker 2: for you right here. And don't forget Maler Millen mock
- 4:04Speaker 2: draft on Wednesday, and that's what really gets us all started.
- 4:07Speaker 2: There was a huge trade in the National Football League
- 4:10Speaker 2: over the weekend. The New York Giants moved Dexter Lawrence
- 4:13Speaker 2: to the Cincinnati Bengals for the tenth overall pick in
- 4:17Speaker 2: the draft, and so the Giants now hold the fifth
- 4:20Speaker 2: and tenth picks in the draft overall. Also this morning,
- 4:25Speaker 2: Adam Schefter reporting that Trent Williams has agreed to terms
- 4:28Speaker 2: with the San Francisco forty nine ers, so two year extension,
- 4:31Speaker 2: fifty million dollars for the Hall of Fame left tackle.
- 4:34Speaker 2: He's going to be around for a little while longer.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Unfortunately for all teams in the NFC West, AJ Brown
- 4:41Speaker 2: is going to go to the New England Patriots. According
- 4:43Speaker 2: to Schefter, it just won't be until after the June
- 4:47Speaker 2: first date because it will reduce the cap number against
- 4:51Speaker 2: the Eagles, So they won't get this year's draft picks
- 4:54Speaker 2: out of the New England Patriots, but it sounds like
- 4:56Speaker 2: they will get some future draft compensation for Aga Brown.
- 5:00Speaker 2: NBA playoffs and Stanley Cup playoffs got started over the weekend.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Lots of upsets in the NHL. One in the NBA,
- 5:08Speaker 2: Orlando did beat number one seed Detroit in the Eastern Conference.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Everything else was a bit of a blowout in the
- 5:15Speaker 2: National Basketball Association. And today is the Boston Marathon, the
- 5:19Speaker 2: one day that reminds us how close we come to
- 5:23Speaker 2: not being able to finish a twenty six mile run.
- 5:26Speaker 5: Yeah, I've come not even close.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Yeah, not eymore. Yeah makes a question hareeze the max? Probably, yeah, exactly.
- 5:34Speaker 2: So Patriots Day today in Boston. All right, let's talk
- 5:37Speaker 2: to Greg Bell with.
- 5:39Speaker 7: The bell tolls.
- 5:40Speaker 8: It must be seven o'clock and time for twelfth Man
- 5:43Speaker 8: News with Greg Bell. Brought to you by Copola Diamond Collection, Prosecco,
- 5:48Speaker 8: Chris Sparkling with bright Fruit flavors to make every toast
- 5:52Speaker 8: shine game day bubbles only with Coppola Diamond Prosecco. Now
- 5:57Speaker 8: with twelfth Man News, here's Greg Bell with Chuck and Bud.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Good morning, and it's kinder thinking. Maybe twelve or thirteen, okay,
- 6:08Speaker 4: in a rock march running. Yeah, probably twelve or thirteen.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Did some road marches with roughsacks that were about twenty
- 6:16Speaker 4: five thirty miles, but no, I don't remember.
- 6:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but you had to stop every mile and do
- 6:20Speaker 2: push ups.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Probably no, No, they least was continuous. Yeah, let's go,
- 6:28Speaker 4: let you go a little bit.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Greg Bell, I'm sorry.
- 6:32Speaker 4: I was in Boston until last night. And it's such
- 6:34Speaker 4: a unique time in New England for the sports whether
- 6:38Speaker 4: I mean they got the Bruins and the playoffs, they
- 6:40Speaker 4: got the Celtics. The Red Sox hosted the Bite the
- 6:43Speaker 4: Tigers all weekend and the cold rain and they're going
- 6:45Speaker 4: to have a I've covered it. It's a really unique event.
- 6:48Speaker 4: At eleven am on Patriots Day, the morning of the
- 6:50Speaker 4: Boston Marathon, the Red Sox host a baseball game. Yeah,
- 6:54Speaker 4: as part of the festival. It starts at eleven am
- 6:56Speaker 4: local time. I was covering the Oakland Agis at the time.
- 6:59Speaker 4: It started eight eight Oakland time. But they wrap it
- 7:02Speaker 4: around the finish. The elite finishers of Boston Marathon are
- 7:05Speaker 4: finishing about that time. It's just a neat spec. Thirty
- 7:08Speaker 4: thousand people are running in the Boston Marathon. All of
- 7:11Speaker 4: them have won or qualified from other marathons to even
- 7:15Speaker 4: get there. The plane from Seattle was about half full
- 7:18Speaker 4: of marathons and very proud as they should be. You
- 7:22Speaker 4: can't even sniff racing in the Boston Marathon unless you
- 7:25Speaker 4: are an elite runner to begin.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Is that a big event anymore? Sports wise? We don't
- 7:29Speaker 2: cover it the way that they did when we grew up,
- 7:33Speaker 2: you know, a wide wide world of sports. I mean
- 7:35Speaker 2: it was a big deal when we grew up. But
- 7:37Speaker 2: in New England, in Boston, it is still a huge deal,
- 7:40Speaker 2: maybe bigger than ever. And I love that for them.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Yeah, it really is. It's a civic event and the
- 7:46Speaker 4: whole town comes out and the Boston strong from the
- 7:50Speaker 4: pride of the bombing that happened at the finish line
- 7:53Speaker 4: of one a few years ago, the horrible it's been
- 7:56Speaker 4: almost ten years now, eight years now, the tragedy at
- 7:59Speaker 4: the finish line, and how New England then even re
- 8:01Speaker 4: rallied around all of that it's a cool event. Really,
- 8:05Speaker 4: it was neat to be in the town for it,
- 8:07Speaker 4: all right.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Yeah, Greg Bell with us here on this Monday morning,
- 8:09Speaker 2: and we will hear from Greg every single day this
- 8:12Speaker 2: week because it is a draft week. So we count
- 8:15Speaker 2: down the days until Thursday and Greg Bell has his
- 8:20Speaker 2: little Seahawk mock draft out. I say little, not because
- 8:23Speaker 2: of the magnitude. It's obviously a huge undertaking, but there
- 8:27Speaker 2: are only four picks, so it's just a smaller it's
- 8:31Speaker 2: a smaller number of picks that you're having to make
- 8:34Speaker 2: this year. But you did add one. You decided to
- 8:38Speaker 2: make a trade in the first round. And how convinced
- 8:42Speaker 2: are you that that's the way it's going to play
- 8:44Speaker 2: out on Thursday evening?
- 8:46Speaker 4: Pretty convinced. Yeah, he's traded a first round pick, I
- 8:50Speaker 4: mean fourteen times over sixteen drafts. Ten times has done
- 8:55Speaker 4: it to trade down. The other three times was game
- 8:57Speaker 4: or get rid of veteran players to Russell Wilson, Jamal Adams,
- 9:01Speaker 4: Percy Harvin. He's never traded up. That's not what he does.
- 9:04Speaker 4: He doesn't give away picks and drafts. He cultivates and
- 9:06Speaker 4: gets more. Because they're at thirty two that's the key here.
- 9:11Speaker 4: John Schneider, even in a strong draft, never has more
- 9:15Speaker 4: than two dozen around twenty four grades for first round
- 9:18Speaker 4: players and his board, and he has already proclaimed this
- 9:22Speaker 4: to be a week draft. Part of the reason they
- 9:24Speaker 4: traded two third day picks to get Rashi shi Heid
- 9:27Speaker 4: November was that they didn't see this draft as very
- 9:29Speaker 4: worthy or deep, and so that's how he said it's
- 9:33Speaker 4: by design that they have only four picks as the
- 9:35Speaker 4: fewest in the league this year, it would be the
- 9:37Speaker 4: second fewest in Seahawks history. Of course, the twenty twenty
- 9:41Speaker 4: one COVID draft they punted, they just got three picks
- 9:44Speaker 4: in that draft. This would be the second fewest. So
- 9:46Speaker 4: I think at thirty two, when he doesn't have any
- 9:48Speaker 4: first round picks and his board left, it makes sense
- 9:52Speaker 4: the trade back and he's got partners they've got you know,
- 9:55Speaker 4: Tennessee has multiple picks in the fourth round that the
- 9:58Speaker 4: Seahawks currently don't have a pick in and they're picking
- 10:01Speaker 4: in the top eight or and a sow of the
- 10:04Speaker 4: second round. Denver has no first round picks. Indianapolis, Jackson, Villegreen, Bay,
- 10:09Speaker 4: Atlanta don't have any first round pick. The problem with
- 10:11Speaker 4: Atlanta is that they only have five picks in the
- 10:13Speaker 4: whole draft, so they don't have a lot of ammunition
- 10:15Speaker 4: to move up. I pick Cleveland because they have two
- 10:19Speaker 4: first round picks already. They have the seventh picking round
- 10:24Speaker 4: thirty ninth pick overall, in seventh pick in round two.
- 10:28Speaker 4: I'm projecting them to trade up seven spots to get
- 10:31Speaker 4: into round one. The Seahawks move back and pick up
- 10:34Speaker 4: Cleveland's fourth round pick. As it stands right now, John
- 10:39Speaker 4: Schneider would be sitting around Saturday morning from eight am,
- 10:42Speaker 4: when the fourth round of the draft begins, until about
- 10:45Speaker 4: three or four in the afternoon when the seventh round ends,
- 10:48Speaker 4: doing almost nothing. He has only one pick. He has
- 10:52Speaker 4: a Cleveland pick from trading Nick Harris to the Browns
- 10:54Speaker 4: during training camp last year. And he has a sixth
- 10:56Speaker 4: round pick and that's it. And I just can't see
- 10:59Speaker 4: him sitting around doing nothing for a full day of
- 11:01Speaker 4: a draft. And that's why I have them peg to
- 11:03Speaker 4: go back. Lit'll be eight spots and pick up a
- 11:06Speaker 4: fourth round pick.
- 11:07Speaker 2: And you have them trading back to get an edge
- 11:10Speaker 2: rusher with their first selection. Not the cornerback, not the
- 11:14Speaker 2: running back, but an edge rusher.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Here, and that's purely a Mike McDonald. We can never
- 11:20Speaker 4: have enough of these guys type of pick. I projected
- 11:23Speaker 4: a Malachai Lawrence from Central Florida because I'm the way
- 11:27Speaker 4: of draft boards shaking down that he would be available
- 11:29Speaker 4: with the thirty ninth pick. And that's a big if, because, Yeah,
- 11:33Speaker 4: Lawrence has all the traits of a pass us. He
- 11:36Speaker 4: looks like one, he's the size of one, and he's
- 11:38Speaker 4: a speed on. He's six four and a half two
- 11:41Speaker 4: hundred and fifty three pounds, runs a four to five
- 11:43Speaker 4: to two forty. He plays like he's two hundred and
- 11:46Speaker 4: twenty five pounds. He's got thirty five thirty four inch
- 11:50Speaker 4: arms thirty three and five eighths technically, so he's just big, long,
- 11:53Speaker 4: rangy guy knocks down passes. But what McDonald likely really
- 11:57Speaker 4: likes about Malachai Lawrence from Central Florida's he also can
- 12:00Speaker 4: drop into pass coverage and play multiple words. He's not
- 12:03Speaker 4: just as straight up the field edge rusher as a
- 12:05Speaker 4: lot of guys are in this draft and college prospects
- 12:08Speaker 4: tend to be. He's an all around outside linebacker edge rusher,
- 12:12Speaker 4: and he has played coverage at Central Florida against top
- 12:16Speaker 4: competition like Alabama and Florida. That's I think what Seattle
- 12:21Speaker 4: and Mike McDonald will be particularly interested in with him.
- 12:26Speaker 4: I think the running back they want to get and
- 12:28Speaker 4: can get will come in the third round. I don't
- 12:30Speaker 4: think they need to get it a running back in
- 12:32Speaker 4: the second round because this draft is so weak in
- 12:35Speaker 4: running backs. I mean there's a huge drop off from
- 12:37Speaker 4: top couple to the rest of the field. Mike Washington
- 12:41Speaker 4: of Arkansas is some excuse me, ye, Mike Washington Junior
- 12:44Speaker 4: of Arkansas, two hundred twenty three towns more of a
- 12:47Speaker 4: bowling ball, bruising type running back. Yet he ran a
- 12:49Speaker 4: four to three three forty at the combine. I think
- 12:53Speaker 4: they're going to get him, maybe even in round four.
- 12:56Speaker 4: That's how the running backs, that's how the league proceeds.
- 13:00Speaker 4: He's running backs anyway. So in my mark draft, I
- 13:03Speaker 4: have for their original pick in round two a guy
- 13:07Speaker 4: that may not be there, and it's a little bit
- 13:08Speaker 4: of a stretch for me to think he might be
- 13:10Speaker 4: his Brandon Ceci and we talked about him last week,
- 13:12Speaker 4: the cornerback from South Carolina. He screams a Mike McDonald
- 13:16Speaker 4: Seahawks defensive player he is. I keep getting stuck on
- 13:22Speaker 4: hearing about and listening to scouts talk about his ability
- 13:26Speaker 4: to see the entire defense at from a macro level.
- 13:29Speaker 4: His position coach, Brandon Cecy's position coach in college, said
- 13:32Speaker 4: that he was able to recite all eleven responsibilities of
- 13:35Speaker 4: all his teammates on the defense for every play, which
- 13:38Speaker 4: is exactly what Mike McDonald requires of his defense. If
- 13:42Speaker 4: he's around at the end of round two, and that's
- 13:45Speaker 4: a big gift. I think the Seahawks get him at
- 13:47Speaker 4: sixty four with their original second round pick, after getting
- 13:49Speaker 4: Melachai Lawrence with the Brown second round pick at thirty nine.
- 13:53Speaker 2: Yeah. Greg Bell is with US Seahawks Insider from the
- 13:56Speaker 2: News Tribune and he does have his Seahawks mock as
- 13:59Speaker 2: annual Seahawks mock up if you want to check that
- 14:01Speaker 2: out at the Newstribune dot com. And of course you
- 14:03Speaker 2: need to follow Greg at Gebel Seattle. They're on X
- 14:07Speaker 2: if you're not doing that already. And he joins us
- 14:10Speaker 2: here this morning as we're gonna have Greg on every
- 14:14Speaker 2: single day this week to cover the NFL Draft. If
- 14:18Speaker 2: I would say anything, I mean, if this ends up
- 14:20Speaker 2: being the draft. Based on what I've read, I'm no scout,
- 14:23Speaker 2: I'm no expert, but based on what I've read, man,
- 14:25Speaker 2: they have really come away with a successful draft. The
- 14:29Speaker 2: only thing that I would say is, yeah, I think
- 14:31Speaker 2: they want Mike Washington. That would be a great pick.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I don't know if he makes it till the fourth.
- 14:36Speaker 2: I don't even know if Cisa makes it to the
- 14:38Speaker 2: end of the second where you've got him. And I
- 14:41Speaker 2: don't think Malachi Lawrence. He seems to be one of
- 14:44Speaker 2: the fast risers right now. So in terms of like
- 14:47Speaker 2: grabbing guys that I'm sure the Seahawks would like, I
- 14:50Speaker 2: think you're all over it. I just I'm wondering if
- 14:53Speaker 2: it's going to turn out to be that fortuitous for
- 14:56Speaker 2: them this weekend.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Well it may not, But every year there are picks
- 15:03Speaker 4: that surprise. A top of the draft, middle of the
- 15:05Speaker 4: draft teams covet with different qualities, and then draft analysts do,
- 15:11Speaker 4: and then some of the tape shows I do know.
- 15:16Speaker 4: The running back situation is particularly interesting because of how
- 15:20Speaker 4: the league views it and how the league treats second
- 15:22Speaker 4: contracts for running backs, and by and large, it's been
- 15:26Speaker 4: a position that's just gotten overlooked, and teams have seen
- 15:29Speaker 4: in Seattle's been doing it too. Teams have seen the
- 15:32Speaker 4: benefit of just waiting later in drafts and developing running
- 15:35Speaker 4: backs over time, having to play special teams early in
- 15:38Speaker 4: their careers, having become situational backs, maybe in situational world's
- 15:42Speaker 4: third down backs, for instance, to get into an offense,
- 15:45Speaker 4: and then third or fourth years, while they're still under
- 15:47Speaker 4: rookie deals with relatively lower costs, give them larger roles
- 15:52Speaker 4: while they're still low mileage, aren't injured at the sports
- 15:55Speaker 4: most atruated position. That, in a nutshell, is what modern
- 15:59Speaker 4: NFL teams treat line running backs. Yea, and that's how
- 16:03Speaker 4: Seattle's done it. So I hear you. Mike Washington might
- 16:07Speaker 4: be the only the third running back taking the draft
- 16:09Speaker 4: and it might not happen till round three and four,
- 16:11Speaker 4: and that's how the team's nice.
- 16:14Speaker 9: It was.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Now, he did fumble ten times at three
- 16:18Speaker 4: different schools in college. Some people don't see him as
- 16:21Speaker 4: an outside zone type running back. That he doesn't have
- 16:23Speaker 4: that patience that did Daring Price for Notre Dame, who
- 16:27Speaker 4: I also think they're very interested in, and they could
- 16:29Speaker 4: also very easily take in the second round as well.
- 16:33Speaker 4: There are questions about all the running backs in the
- 16:37Speaker 4: draft because of what the league thinks of him right now.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Yet here we are in Seattle, where you have to
- 16:41Speaker 4: have running backs because their whole offense.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Is I've heard Seahawk fans melt down after drafts because
- 16:48Speaker 2: not enough love was given to the offensive line position.
- 16:53Speaker 2: I can't I can't imagine their reaction if John doesn't
- 16:58Speaker 2: draft a running back. But Greg, I do think there's
- 17:01Speaker 2: a chance that he doesn't at all. And the reason
- 17:06Speaker 2: behind that is, I mean, they've already kind of stockpiled
- 17:09Speaker 2: numbers at the running back position, and you still have
- 17:13Speaker 2: free agents and other things that are going to take place.
- 17:17Speaker 2: They're going to have some guys waived between now and
- 17:19Speaker 2: the start of the season. I think he should dig
- 17:21Speaker 2: a running back. I want him to take a running back.
- 17:24Speaker 2: But what chance do you think that there is that
- 17:26Speaker 2: we get through Saturday and he has not used a
- 17:31Speaker 2: high pick on a running back.
- 17:34Speaker 4: I think there's a good chance that I think there's
- 17:36Speaker 4: a good chance that they don't use any pick on
- 17:37Speaker 4: a running back high or not, because of the fact
- 17:40Speaker 4: that he is really trying to keep himself disciplined to
- 17:43Speaker 4: not drafting for need and if their guy if a
- 17:47Speaker 4: running back, for instance, if I'm just gonna throw Mike
- 17:49Speaker 4: Washington Junior out there because we're talking about him. If
- 17:52Speaker 4: Mike Washington Junior in round three, or when they're picking
- 17:55Speaker 4: even a round four that I haven't projected picking with
- 17:57Speaker 4: the Browns pick they would pick up if he's not
- 18:00Speaker 4: their best guy on the board, and the defensive tackle
- 18:03Speaker 4: is or an offensive guard, they're picking that tackle or guard.
- 18:09Speaker 4: Snyder has talked about how they've missed on drafts when
- 18:12Speaker 4: they have reached for need, when they have just said, Okay,
- 18:14Speaker 4: here's what we need, let's go get that guy. And
- 18:18Speaker 4: there are teams they say they don't, but they do.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Who do that? Who say we have to have a
- 18:23Speaker 4: tackle in this draft? So who are your top five tackles?
- 18:26Speaker 4: Scouting director? Okay, that guy's gone. That guy's gone out.
- 18:29Speaker 4: It's our turn. The third best tackles on the board
- 18:31Speaker 4: will take him instead of taking the best player they
- 18:34Speaker 4: had remaining on their board, and it's Schnyder said that
- 18:37Speaker 4: the drafts they've gotten in trouble, they've done just that,
- 18:40Speaker 4: and that he is trying to discipline the entire staff
- 18:42Speaker 4: to say, no, we're taking the best player and we'll
- 18:44Speaker 4: find a role for him. And that's what a scenario
- 18:48Speaker 4: I could see them not taking a running back. But
- 18:50Speaker 4: here's the thing on running backs for Seattle. They have
- 18:53Speaker 4: eight or nine of them, counting Vellis, Jones and Cam
- 18:55Speaker 4: Akers coming back there on the practice squad last year.
- 18:58Speaker 4: Absolutely zebra overm contract after this year, including Zach Charboney
- 19:03Speaker 4: coming off of the ACL tear in January. His rookie
- 19:06Speaker 4: contract ends with the end of this season. I say
- 19:09Speaker 4: this all the time from having covered these drafts for
- 19:11Speaker 4: an hour quarter century. They don't draft for this year.
- 19:15Speaker 4: They draft for four years because those are four year
- 19:17Speaker 4: rookie contracts, and they project their roster and that player
- 19:22Speaker 4: out four years. Where does this player we're about to
- 19:25Speaker 4: pick in this draft project for us in years three
- 19:27Speaker 4: and four, starter reserve. Whatever our contract situations at running
- 19:32Speaker 4: back in three or four years, Well, this one's an
- 19:35Speaker 4: easy read. Their contract situation at running back in next
- 19:38Speaker 4: year is zero. They have none under contract. You would
- 19:42Speaker 4: think Charbone is going to get a new deal, but
- 19:44Speaker 4: they're not even sure when he's gonna get back on
- 19:45Speaker 4: the field, and what he looks like when he comes
- 19:47Speaker 4: back from his knee being reconstructed. To me, that screams
- 19:52Speaker 4: developmental running back, someone you can have for four years
- 19:55Speaker 4: at rookie cost. That you can start from ground one,
- 19:59Speaker 4: from the ground zeros a day one of rookie mini camps,
- 20:02Speaker 4: showing them outside zone and not have to worry about
- 20:05Speaker 4: giving him a new dealer trying him out just in
- 20:08Speaker 4: this season. That to me, they should draft a running back.
- 20:12Speaker 4: But because the drafts is so weak at that position,
- 20:15Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to.
- 20:16Speaker 7: Be forced to.
- 20:17Speaker 2: Yeah, if a couple of the guys that they I mean,
- 20:18Speaker 2: you know, you know, they're not going to love a
- 20:20Speaker 2: lot of them. And if the couple of guys they
- 20:22Speaker 2: love come off early, he might just say, we'll figure
- 20:26Speaker 2: we'll figure out another way. What are you doing today?
- 20:29Speaker 2: At ten a m.
- 20:32Speaker 4: Christopher Gett and I are reuniting like we never left. Wow,
- 20:35Speaker 4: we're gonna start. We're going to start the midday show
- 20:37Speaker 4: with myself and Chris for the foreseeable future. Things change
- 20:41Speaker 4: in this industry, I'm starting to learn. But that's the
- 20:45Speaker 4: plan anyway. Yeah, just like it's back to twenty four
- 20:49Speaker 4: into twenty five. Wow, I'm gonna it's back. We were changing,
- 20:53Speaker 4: and that's the tend a noon show.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Are you going to make Are you going to correct
- 20:57Speaker 2: all those things about kid this time around? Are you
- 21:00Speaker 2: gonna smack him around and put him in order this time?
- 21:04Speaker 4: Yeah? Because he was such a detriment. I'm actually good.
- 21:08Speaker 5: I see it.
- 21:09Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm just gonna let him run on the NBA.
- 21:11Speaker 4: I used to tease him all the time how much
- 21:13Speaker 4: I hated the NBA. But now that the Sonics may
- 21:15Speaker 4: be on their way back and then in the playoffs,
- 21:18Speaker 4: I might just give him an NBA segment or something,
- 21:20Speaker 4: because yeah, I don't know anything about it.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Be careful turning on that falset though it might Yeah,
- 21:25Speaker 2: to turn it off, and then.
- 21:26Speaker 6: The whole like spout might break off and the water
- 21:29Speaker 6: is just going everywhere.
- 21:30Speaker 4: Can I just state again how much better the Stanley
- 21:32Speaker 4: Cup playoffs are than the NBA playoffs. It's not even close.
- 21:36Speaker 2: That will be topic too. Your mock draft today at
- 21:39Speaker 2: ten o'clock will be topic one. Topic two. You can
- 21:42Speaker 2: argue with Chris again about how the NHL playoffs are
- 21:45Speaker 2: better than the NBA playoffs. Well, welcome back. We look
- 21:49Speaker 2: forward to seeing you. Look forward to hearing you. Uh,

- 23:19Speaker 2: the Draftmas spirit, it is the great Charles Davis who
- 23:22Speaker 2: joins us here on this holiday week. Hello Charles, how
- 23:25Speaker 2: are you?
- 23:27Speaker 7: I'm doing well? How about yourself?
- 23:28Speaker 2: I'm doing all right? Draft week? Come on now?
- 23:32Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, I think we're all doing okay. Hey, I
- 23:34Speaker 7: just had this conversation with someone. Remember being a kid
- 23:38Speaker 7: and there was some project that you had to do,
- 23:41Speaker 7: And you know, when you first started to dive into it,
- 23:43Speaker 7: all you kept thinking was, God, if I just had
- 23:45Speaker 7: more times, I just had more time. But then as
- 23:47Speaker 7: you start to get a little more proficient with and
- 23:49Speaker 7: it started to come together, then you looked up and
- 23:52Speaker 7: you're like, God, can we just get it done already?
- 23:54Speaker 7: Can we just be done? I think that's where we
- 23:57Speaker 7: are with draft time, right, and we just go ahead
- 23:59Speaker 7: and start making the picks, please, because I don't know
- 24:02Speaker 7: how many more ways we can talk about it, but
- 24:04Speaker 7: we're going to try.
- 24:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I mean, and you are forced to
- 24:08Speaker 2: think about it a lot more than just about anybody
- 24:10Speaker 2: else out there.
- 24:11Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I think the whole country is
- 24:14Speaker 7: doing it. Yeah, think about it, right, you and I.
- 24:16Speaker 7: You and I have seen how this has changed. And
- 24:18Speaker 7: I'll make it very quick. This has changed from Hey,
- 24:23Speaker 7: as a fan, what is my team going to do?
- 24:27Speaker 7: What can we do? Now? You know what the fan says,
- 24:31Speaker 7: this is what you should do. You know why because
- 24:34Speaker 7: I've watched six games game tape to that guy, I've
- 24:37Speaker 7: watched this, I've watched that. Because you can get the
- 24:39Speaker 7: all twenty two tape now right You're you're watching all
- 24:42Speaker 7: the games on college, you're watching the scouting combine, you're
- 24:46Speaker 7: monitoring the pro days. All that information is there. There's
- 24:48Speaker 7: never been a time where a fan hasn't been more informed,
- 24:51Speaker 7: and with information comes opinions. In the old days, there
- 24:55Speaker 7: weren't as many opinions because we didn't see as much.
- 24:58Speaker 7: It wasn't out there. It was much more a mystical. Now,
- 25:02Speaker 7: if I walk in and tell a fan they don't
- 25:03Speaker 7: know what they're talking about, they will come back at
- 25:06Speaker 7: me with a barrage of information and things at facts,
- 25:09Speaker 7: and at the end, you know, they'll conclude with Chuck,
- 25:11Speaker 7: what you, sir, do not know what you're talking about.
- 25:15Speaker 7: That's where that's where the draft has changed. And frankly
- 25:18Speaker 7: for the league, that's a win because that means everyone's invested.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's I mean, they're going to be like
- 25:26Speaker 2: half a million people in Pittsburgh this week just watching
- 25:30Speaker 2: twenty two year olds put on hats and hugging a ginger.
- 25:35Speaker 2: That's that's what they're showing up for. So it's unbelievable
- 25:38Speaker 2: what it's become. But I do love it. I can't
- 25:41Speaker 2: get enough of it. So all right, let's let's dive
- 25:43Speaker 2: into some of your analysis here, and let's begin with something.
- 25:48Speaker 2: I mean, it's been a while since you've updated your mock.
- 25:51Speaker 2: My guess is you're going to do it one more time.
- 25:54Speaker 2: And yet I don't know if I'm I don't know
- 25:56Speaker 2: if I've seen anybody have Ty Simpson picked as how
- 26:00Speaker 2: as you have him. Have you changed your mind on
- 26:03Speaker 2: that or maybe explain why you have Ty Simpson third
- 26:07Speaker 2: to the Cardinals.
- 26:09Speaker 7: Absolutely, and I put it in there in the mock
- 26:11Speaker 7: and the explanation that I really didn't expect them to
- 26:15Speaker 7: be the number three, right, number three overall, But what
- 26:18Speaker 7: I was telling everyone was year before, on my second
- 26:23Speaker 7: to last mock draft, I put Jackson Dart third, because
- 26:26Speaker 7: you remember last year going into the draft, it was quarterbacks,
- 26:30Speaker 7: right is it? The suitor Sanders is a cam Ward
- 26:34Speaker 7: and so I put cam Ward one, Shdor Sanders two
- 26:37Speaker 7: at the top of the draft. I knew the Giants
- 26:40Speaker 7: like Jackson Dart that I knew. I knew there was
- 26:43Speaker 7: a big fascination there. I put him at three. People
- 26:45Speaker 7: lost their mind, would you crazy? How nuts are you?
- 26:48Speaker 7: And I was like, listen, I don't know if he's
- 26:50Speaker 7: going to go there, just know that the Giants really
- 26:52Speaker 7: like him. And sometimes you don't wait for your guy,
- 26:55Speaker 7: you go and you get him right. Well, what ended
- 26:57Speaker 7: up happening. The Giants traded back in at twenty six
- 27:00Speaker 7: and grab two. Oh that's right, Jackson Dark.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:04Speaker 7: I think the Cardinals are locked. I'm not gonna say
- 27:06Speaker 7: they're locked in, but I do believe there's a strong
- 27:08Speaker 7: interest in ty Simpson. I have no other place to
- 27:11Speaker 7: put him in the first round, and I don't believe
- 27:14Speaker 7: he's a first round quarterback. So if I'm going to
- 27:17Speaker 7: do a last mock draft, ty Simpson would not be
- 27:19Speaker 7: in my first round because I don't do trades and
- 27:21Speaker 7: all the other stuff. But I do think he's still
- 27:23Speaker 7: tied to the Cardinals, whether it's at whether it's at
- 27:26Speaker 7: thirty four in the second round, or they make a
- 27:29Speaker 7: move in the first round to come get him. But
- 27:31Speaker 7: I don't see him at Pittsburgh. I don't see him
- 27:34Speaker 7: with the Jets. You know, pick all the other places
- 27:36Speaker 7: that could be quote unquote quarterback spots, I don't see
- 27:40Speaker 7: those places being viable for him. Arizona seems to be
- 27:43Speaker 7: the most viable to me. If indeed they want to
- 27:45Speaker 7: make a move, we'll see. I think in this year's
- 27:49Speaker 7: draft they might be able to stick and get him
- 27:51Speaker 7: at thirty four.
- 27:51Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I'm kind of hoping that the Seahawks at
- 27:55Speaker 2: thirty two he's not taken and they might be able
- 27:57Speaker 2: to turn that into more draft value in a trade
- 28:02Speaker 2: to move down because somebody wants that fifth year. But
- 28:05Speaker 2: we shall see how that unfolds you. Maybe, Yeah, you
- 28:08Speaker 2: have Avion Terrell, the cornerback out of Clemson, going to
- 28:12Speaker 2: the Seahawks at thirty two. Again, you may have changed
- 28:15Speaker 2: your mind since that time, but what is it. What
- 28:18Speaker 2: do you think John Schneider and Mike McDonald ought to
- 28:21Speaker 2: do at thirty two?
- 28:23Speaker 7: Well, I think they're going to want to get out
- 28:25Speaker 7: of there. That's what I think. I think, if at
- 28:27Speaker 7: all possible, they want to get out at thirty two.
- 28:29Speaker 7: As you said, hey, you want to make an offer
- 28:31Speaker 7: for that for advertise Simpson, We're available.
- 28:34Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, whether.
- 28:35Speaker 7: It's him or anyone else at that point, go out,
- 28:38Speaker 7: get more paces. But let's say they have to stick
- 28:41Speaker 7: and pick right if they have to. I just think
- 28:44Speaker 7: a versatile chess piece type of a player for the Seahawks.
- 28:47Speaker 7: They could go in so many different directions when this
- 28:50Speaker 7: thing said and done. You talk about a blindfold and
- 28:53Speaker 7: a dart to try and figure out what Seattle is
- 28:54Speaker 7: going to do and needs to do. Because right now,
- 28:58Speaker 7: need is it really quite what we're talking about? What
- 29:01Speaker 7: do you do? Yeah, the running back makes a lot
- 29:04Speaker 7: of sense, right if you want to. Let's say they
- 29:06Speaker 7: like Jadarian Price out of Notre Dame sitting there at
- 29:09Speaker 7: thirty two. That actually makes a lot of sense. Kenneth
- 29:12Speaker 7: Walker's gone, Dak Charbonny has come off injury. You get
- 29:15Speaker 7: the idea that makes sense. What if you want to
- 29:18Speaker 7: add another linebacker at that point? Now you're still looking
- 29:20Speaker 7: at you know, because Sunny Styles is going to be
- 29:22Speaker 7: the linebacker that goes Arvel Reese is listed as a linebacker,
- 29:26Speaker 7: but he's gonna be drafted at an edge rusher. Who's
- 29:29Speaker 7: the next linebacker? The CJ. Allen is at Anthony Hill.
- 29:33Speaker 7: You know, do you feel versatile and want to go there?
- 29:35Speaker 7: Do you want to go back into the secondary like
- 29:37Speaker 7: I had Terrell, who's a versatile nickel who could be
- 29:40Speaker 7: used all over the place.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Excuse me?
- 29:43Speaker 7: Do they want to pick up another safety back there
- 29:45Speaker 7: to help somebody out? They got so many different directions
- 29:48Speaker 7: they can go. And I always look at the pass
- 29:50Speaker 7: rushers because the edge rushers are going to go you
- 29:54Speaker 7: and I know that Chuck is be a run on them. Right. So,
- 29:57Speaker 7: now we get down to the end of it, I
- 30:00Speaker 7: would expect names like Cassius Howell from Texas A and
- 30:03Speaker 7: m Diane Young from Missouri, maybe even Keldric Falk from
- 30:09Speaker 7: Auburn to possibly still be in that mix. Well, we're
- 30:13Speaker 7: getting down to that number. Do you like Derek Moore
- 30:16Speaker 7: from Michigan. If we're getting down around the thirty two
- 30:19Speaker 7: and you want that pass rusher, you know, Mike McDonald's like, well,
- 30:23Speaker 7: you guys may not like him for this reason or
- 30:25Speaker 7: that reason, but I see him doing this, this and this,
- 30:28Speaker 7: and then they plug him in and off they go.
- 30:30Speaker 7: I'm still I'm glad I'm sitting down because it's still
- 30:32Speaker 7: hitting me again, Nick, even worry went the second round? Right?
- 30:37Speaker 2: Yeah, you know I've yelled at Mike McDonald when we
- 30:41Speaker 2: had him on not long ago. I said, how dare
- 30:43Speaker 2: you take him so late and risk not getting him?
- 30:52Speaker 7: Those things you laugh about when it works out, right,
- 30:54Speaker 7: exactly because that yelling you did at Mike McDonald's, think
- 30:59Speaker 7: about how thinking about how many owners have come in
- 31:01Speaker 7: and yelled at their people that hold on a second?
- 31:04Speaker 4: Right?
- 31:04Speaker 7: He went, he went where? And we could have gotten him?
- 31:09Speaker 7: Anyone want to explain this to me? Yeah, that's that's
- 31:12Speaker 7: a tough day at the office right there.
- 31:14Speaker 2: Let me use our last couple of minutes, because we
- 31:16Speaker 2: had a significant trade over the weekend. Your thoughts on
- 31:20Speaker 2: the Giants Bengals, what they did, what the Bengals got
- 31:24Speaker 2: in dexter Lawrence, and then whether or not they overpaid
- 31:29Speaker 2: for him, and then also just you know, just just
- 31:33Speaker 2: everything that embodies that question, because what do you think
- 31:36Speaker 2: the Giants plan is with five and ten at this point?
- 31:39Speaker 7: All right, I'll try and answer it in quick sections one.
- 31:41Speaker 7: I think this is a good thing. This is good
- 31:43Speaker 7: for the Giants. I don't think they were looking for it,
- 31:46Speaker 7: but when it came to them, you can't turn it down.
- 31:48Speaker 7: Picked five and ten with a brand new head coach
- 31:51Speaker 7: and a new regime, Yeah take it. Yeah, especially with
- 31:54Speaker 7: a defensive tackle who did nothing for you the year
- 31:56Speaker 7: before and was disgruntled with you. Cool bye, see it on.
- 32:00Speaker 7: For the Bengals, this trade works if you get Dexter
- 32:04Speaker 7: Lawrence two years ago, because two years ago he was
- 32:08Speaker 7: pretty darn good. Now he was almost unblockable. If you
- 32:11Speaker 7: get Dexter Lawrence last year and still disgruntled, overweight, comes
- 32:14Speaker 7: into camp late and blah blah blah that that's a
- 32:17Speaker 7: waste of a pick, and a huge one at that
- 32:20Speaker 7: because you gave up your first rounder for him. I
- 32:23Speaker 7: think Dexter la is gonna do all the right things,
- 32:25Speaker 7: come in, ready to go, etc. You're just trying to
- 32:27Speaker 7: maximize Joe Burrow and last but not least, what it
- 32:30Speaker 7: tells me is the Bengals are telling the league that,
- 32:34Speaker 7: in their estimation, the defensive tackles in this draft, while
- 32:37Speaker 7: while while a deep group, a bountiful group, or not
- 32:42Speaker 7: a pass rushing group, and that's what Dexter Lawrence gives you,
- 32:45Speaker 7: gives you interior defensive pressure. And this group that's coming
- 32:49Speaker 7: up coming through, they didn't value that at all, especially
- 32:52Speaker 7: not picking one at ten. So that's where it all
- 32:55Speaker 7: comes to play. They think that there's still more juice
- 32:59Speaker 7: in Lawrence's at twenty eight years old, and this should
- 33:02Speaker 7: give him a little little rocket fuel to go. And
- 33:05Speaker 7: they've got to make sure they do everything they can
- 33:06Speaker 7: to help out Burrow because let's stay a chuck. What
- 33:08Speaker 7: have we said for the last two to three years.
- 33:10Speaker 7: If you're just adequate on defense and Cincinnati, he's gonna
- 33:13Speaker 7: be okay because Burrow's putting up big numbers as long
- 33:16Speaker 7: as he stays healthy. Yeah, So so off we go
- 33:19Speaker 7: from there. That's kind of how I see that deal.
- 33:22Speaker 7: There'll be a lot of d tackles picked in this draft, chock.
- 33:26Speaker 7: I don't think you'll see any of them pick before
- 33:28Speaker 7: we get to the twenties though, right.
- 33:30Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't think you see any of them
- 33:32Speaker 2: be as good instantly as Dexter Lawrence is.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 33:36Speaker 7: If Dextor Lawrence is in shape and ready to go
- 33:38Speaker 7: and motivate it, that guy we saw play up until
- 33:41Speaker 7: last season. That's a really good football player.
- 33:45Speaker 2: No doubt. Well, enjoy the holiday. Great to have you
- 33:49Speaker 2: on and hopefully we can chat again real soon. But
- 33:52Speaker 2: enjoy the entire draft. We're almost there.

- 35:38Speaker 2: of it. All right, let's get to the abcs of
- 35:41Speaker 2: the MS. We left off of the letter Pep is
- 35:43Speaker 2: four penn. A lot of conversation last week about the
- 35:46Speaker 2: Mariners bullpen. Very nice to see first and foremost andres
- 35:50Speaker 2: Munos get back on track. I think he sort of
- 35:53Speaker 2: spelled it out for us last week. I don't have
- 35:55Speaker 2: my slider. I'm not pitching well just yet. I'm very
- 36:00Speaker 2: angry about it. I'm very frustrated about it. I need
- 36:03Speaker 2: to pitch more, and I do believe it will turn
- 36:06Speaker 2: out just fine. Well, you saw him get the save
- 36:09Speaker 2: late on Saturday, because Cole Wilcox nearly pitched us into
- 36:14Speaker 2: a loss on Saturday night, and then on Sunday more
- 36:18Speaker 2: of a classic put him in in the in the
- 36:22Speaker 2: save role, and then he shut the door on the
- 36:25Speaker 2: Rangers two days in a row. And you saw the
- 36:27Speaker 2: emotion afterwards. I mean, he was pumped. This is like
- 36:30Speaker 2: the kindest human being in the world. He has a
- 36:32Speaker 2: cat named Matilda who he loves, and yet he was
- 36:35Speaker 2: screaming to the heavens like I am back baby, And
- 36:39Speaker 2: it was nice to see.
- 36:40Speaker 6: Well, and I think you know, as frustrated as we
- 36:42Speaker 6: were with the lead being blown last Wednesday, I think
- 36:47Speaker 6: it was no one was more frustrated than he was
- 36:50Speaker 6: no doubt, and so you know, to the pretty frustrated
- 36:53Speaker 6: and then for yeah, me too, but then for him
- 36:55Speaker 6: to not be able to go out the next game,
- 36:58Speaker 6: you know, so you can't go out the next day
- 36:59Speaker 6: and do anything about it, and you've got to wait
- 37:01Speaker 6: for your time. I mean, I can understand why he
- 37:04Speaker 6: had that emotion yesterday.
- 37:06Speaker 2: And I would also say, I still don't like what
- 37:08Speaker 2: Dan's doing with this thing. And I don't know if
- 37:10Speaker 2: this is coming from on high or what. But to me,
- 37:14Speaker 2: Saturday felt like that really good opportunity to where I
- 37:18Speaker 2: know it wasn't a safe situation in the ninth I
- 37:20Speaker 2: know you were up and that seems to be one
- 37:23Speaker 2: of the problems, but it also was an opportunity to
- 37:26Speaker 2: make sure that Andres is okay. Yeah, I agree, and
- 37:29Speaker 2: putting him in in a five run lead, and then
- 37:33Speaker 2: we got to mess around with that again. We needed
- 37:35Speaker 2: to win.
- 37:36Speaker 5: Yeah, why are we trying?
- 37:38Speaker 2: The bullpen is not overtaxed right now?
- 37:41Speaker 5: No, don't and we don't need to make things scary
- 37:43Speaker 5: than they need to be.
- 37:44Speaker 2: And you don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. Why do
- 37:46Speaker 2: we have to go in with Wilcox there why that
- 37:49Speaker 2: was the perfect opportunity to put Munno's in the game.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Make sure there is not a problem. Haven't get him
- 37:56Speaker 2: to bounce back. He's certainly going to be focused. I
- 37:59Speaker 2: can promise you that, yep. And then I also don't
- 38:02Speaker 2: get this. I mean, are we really just gonna use
- 38:05Speaker 2: Matt Brash for one batter every time out and then
- 38:08Speaker 2: we're gonna get him up every single game and not
- 38:11Speaker 2: use him.
- 38:11Speaker 5: I don't understand that part at all.
- 38:14Speaker 2: I mean, it's taxing to get up that much in
- 38:16Speaker 2: the bullpen, a lot more taxing than it is to
- 38:19Speaker 2: get three hitters out in an inning, and so it
- 38:22Speaker 2: seems like, you know, you're so worried about precious outs
- 38:25Speaker 2: and then you're not using Matt Brash to his capabilities,
- 38:30Speaker 2: like you're, yeah, he's great at get getting you out
- 38:33Speaker 2: of jams. But it feels to me like wasted bullets
- 38:37Speaker 2: when he's only going to face one batter, which is
- 38:40Speaker 2: what he's been doing here in his last like three appearances,
- 38:43Speaker 2: and he's doing the same thing with Ferrara. I just
- 38:46Speaker 2: I don't think that's sustainable.
- 38:47Speaker 7: I don't like it.
- 38:48Speaker 6: No, I agree, I agree, and I can't even begin
- 38:51Speaker 6: to say I understand why.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Yeah, Q is for a quality man, quality move by
- 38:56Speaker 2: Josh Naylor. Yes, with the shoes that he's doing. I
- 38:59Speaker 2: just love this, and I really don't want to give
- 39:02Speaker 2: him too much credit. This is more of a shout
- 39:05Speaker 2: out to all of the professional athletes that don't do this.
- 39:08Speaker 2: So Josh just has been if he sees a fan
- 39:12Speaker 2: with his jersey on, he'll like send up a pair
- 39:15Speaker 2: of his shoes. He wears a different pair of shoes
- 39:17Speaker 2: every day, Yeah, all the time. He has like eighty
- 39:19Speaker 2: and he gets them for free. So when you already
- 39:22Speaker 2: make millions and then you get free stuff on top
- 39:25Speaker 2: of it, that would make some kid's day, make some
- 39:30Speaker 2: famili's day, gets you a fan for life. Why don't
- 39:33Speaker 2: more athletes do this? You go through batting gloves like
- 39:37Speaker 2: there's no tomorrow. Instead of just throwing them away, hand
- 39:40Speaker 2: them off to a kid, and instead of just stockpiling
- 39:44Speaker 2: shoes that you're never gonna wear again, give it to
- 39:47Speaker 2: a kid.
- 39:47Speaker 5: It's amazing the difference that that move can make.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Yeah, and I give him all the criand in the
- 39:51Speaker 2: world because he's one doing it, But you all should
- 39:54Speaker 2: be doing yes at all times every day. The amount
- 39:58Speaker 2: of free crap you get as much multi millionaires, it's unbelievable. Yeah,
- 40:03Speaker 2: I agree, they're not paying for those cool hooded Seattle
- 40:06Speaker 2: Sunday sweatshirts that they're wearing there on the on the bench.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Give one to a kid.
- 40:13Speaker 6: Yeah, all you have to do is go back to
- 40:15Speaker 6: the equipment room and say, hey, can I get another one?
- 40:19Speaker 2: Finally ours for ref Snyder And I think I had
- 40:23Speaker 2: to mention him. The alphabet had to mention him here today,
- 40:25Speaker 2: finally gets off the schneid. Hopefully it's a sign of
- 40:28Speaker 2: things to come. He admitted yesterday how much he's been
- 40:31Speaker 2: struggling mentally with the game. It has not been easy
- 40:35Speaker 2: for him to come to a new place and look
- 40:37Speaker 2: at a zero zero zero batting average for nearly an
- 40:40Speaker 2: entire month. So he only got one hit yesterday, it
- 40:44Speaker 2: was a home run. Hopefully it gets him going because
- 40:47Speaker 2: for the last three seasons in Boston he has been
- 40:50Speaker 2: a very productive player against left handed pitchers and as
- 40:54Speaker 2: an outfielder. So he has a specified skill, but he
- 41:00Speaker 2: has not showcased it whatsoever in a Mariner uniform. And
- 41:03Speaker 2: he admitted yesterday how much it bothered him.
- 41:05Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's understandable.
- 41:07Speaker 6: And the mental aspect of this game is I mean,
- 41:10Speaker 6: Bucky talks about it all the time.
- 41:11Speaker 5: You talk about it.
- 41:12Speaker 6: Between the ears, between the ears, and that's got to
- 41:14Speaker 6: be hard every time you're up to like you're trying
- 41:16Speaker 6: to do something just to clear those zeros.
- 41:20Speaker 5: But he definitely cleared the zeros yesterday.
- 41:22Speaker 2: He got it cleared. All right. It still doesn't look good, no,
- 41:25Speaker 2: but we're yeah, we're off. We're off the mat now,
- 41:29Speaker 2: all right. Coming up next, Hugh Millen's going to join us.
- 41:32Speaker 2: He's part of our Draft miss coverage this year for
- 41:34Speaker 2: the first time ever. We're going to discuss with him
- 41:38Speaker 2: in the role of Hucon Cornelius, maybe some cornerbacks that
- 41:43Speaker 2: could be available to the Seahawks with their first pick
- 41:46Speaker 2: in the draft. So we break it down with the
- 41:48Speaker 2: QB one like only he can. Next on KJR
