- 0:42Speaker 1: time really, probably since last year, so that's coming up
- 0:45Speaker 1: of twelve twenty. Joe with the Emerald Downs will join
- 0:48Speaker 1: us about twelve forty five today. Joe is here. The
- 0:53Speaker 1: Emerald Downs starts. I believe it's Sins thirty. He'll give
- 0:56Speaker 1: us the clarity about thirty first season. I believe in
- 0:58Speaker 1: Auburn at the Emeralds tracked the gorgeous track down there.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Of course, we used to have racing at Long Acres
- 1:03Speaker 1: for so many years and now Long Acres would be
- 1:05Speaker 1: the home for the Sounders. Yeah days. So after many
- 1:09Speaker 1: years being part of the Boeing complex down there and
- 1:13Speaker 1: in tuck will It, it's now where the Sounders are.
- 1:15Speaker 1: They moved three decades ago down to Emerald Downs in Auburn,
- 1:18Speaker 1: and the horse racing business is a little bit beat
- 1:21Speaker 1: up these days, but Emerald Downs is thriving. They had
- 1:23Speaker 1: a great year last year, they're expecting a great year
- 1:25Speaker 1: this year. Basically weekend race dates on Fridays and Saturdays, Sundays,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and I think for a while just Saturday after Friday,
- 1:33Speaker 1: Saturdays and Sundays for the most part until we get
- 1:35Speaker 1: to the summer months. But yeah, and tomorrow's Atuking Kentucky Derby.
- 1:38Speaker 1: So with that they open up every year winning Mr
- 1:41Speaker 1: Cup tomorrow opening day two. So it's always a big
- 1:43Speaker 1: weekend and in a rare, rare state of affairs, we
- 1:46Speaker 1: have good weather coming up this weekend as well. So
- 1:48Speaker 1: with he's going to join us at twelve forty five,
- 1:50Speaker 1: our guy Danny O'Neil at one twenty, looking forward to
- 1:52Speaker 1: that the dang apostrophe, and we'll check in with him
- 1:55Speaker 1: at one twenty for all things Seattle Sports, courtesy the

- 2:01Speaker 1: rang will wrap things up at two o'clock today our
- 2:04Speaker 1: Draft Insider, Fox Sports dot com, BC Lions Scout also
- 2:08Speaker 1: Seahawks dot Com. He was with us, of course for
- 2:10Speaker 1: all of our draft coverage, pre draft coverage, current draft coverage,
- 2:12Speaker 1: and now post draft coverage. Will kind of wrap things
- 2:14Speaker 1: up again. We'll get a chance to watch guys in
- 2:17Speaker 1: and out of the building here inside to keep an
- 2:19Speaker 1: eye on what's going on out there. I also we
- 2:23Speaker 1: may squeeze this into in fact, we probably will here
- 2:25Speaker 1: in a second, Russell Wilson may be retiring and joining
- 2:28Speaker 1: the television. Just just gave you the word media, the
- 2:31Speaker 1: media ranks, So we'll touch in on that a little
- 2:34Speaker 1: bit too, coming up in just a few minutes. So, yeah,
- 2:36Speaker 1: a lot going on today. Guys just went out there
- 2:39Speaker 1: watching things. Remember when there's a couple of things that
- 2:42Speaker 1: jumped out one Jadarian Price, who was introduced yesterday five eleven,
- 2:48Speaker 1: two oh three, And I think you know, one of
- 2:51Speaker 1: the conversations we had with him was about him with
- 2:54Speaker 1: Hugh and everybody else was the size and is he
- 3:00Speaker 1: you know, it seems like maybe not the I don't
- 3:03Speaker 1: want to see the biggest guy. But two oh three
- 3:05Speaker 1: felt a little light boy laying eyes on him. He
- 3:08Speaker 1: looks every bit the part. That's just first impression. It's
- 3:11Speaker 1: like there's nothing slight about him, even even Bud Clark,
- 3:15Speaker 1: who I'll take a pic. I just took some pictures.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I'm not sure when we can post those or not.
- 3:19Speaker 1: As soon as we can, I'll put him up on
- 3:20Speaker 1: Twitter and.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Theium.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Well, it's it's a little different for many rookies. I think.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I don't think we'll see in a second. I'm just
- 3:29Speaker 1: looking here, Bud Clark, he's thin, like you'll see it.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You'll see the pictures. He's thin, you know, got long
- 3:36Speaker 1: sleeves and long pants on, but he's yeah, he's thin.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Jadariing Price is just an impressive
- 3:41Speaker 1: looking athlete. Though man his not I'll tell you this
- 3:43Speaker 1: hasn't missed arm day, not once. It's not missed Arm.
- 3:47Speaker 2: He was on the podium. You could see it yesterday.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he has not missed. He has not missed
- 3:52Speaker 1: arm Day got a chance as well. Look at Julian Neil.
- 3:56Speaker 1: He's long man. Yeah, I mean all the things we
- 3:58Speaker 1: thought we'll see as we go back out in breaks
- 4:01Speaker 1: and stuff. Kind of keep an eye on things. They
- 4:02Speaker 1: have three quarterbacks here, including it's interesting when they picked
- 4:07Speaker 1: up Ky Horton from Washington didn't really play at Washington obviously,
- 4:11Speaker 1: but as a transfer, kind of a highly thought of transfer.
- 4:14Speaker 1: He's here, Blake Chapin or Shapin is here from Mississippi State.
- 4:19Speaker 1: And then the one that's kind of interesting. Be interesting
- 4:22Speaker 1: to see what he does this weekend and if he
- 4:24Speaker 1: ends up having a weekend that invites him back. I listen.
- 4:28Speaker 1: The quarterback position seems very well set with this team
- 4:34Speaker 1: with Milroe Locke and obviously Sam Darnold. But the interesting
- 4:39Speaker 1: one Jake Rerhetz laugh if you remember the name. He
- 4:41Speaker 1: played it Tulane last year and finished up his college career.
- 4:44Speaker 1: But before that he had a really strong career at
- 4:47Speaker 1: BYU and then had to leave BYU because he violated
- 4:53Speaker 1: the honor code. In the most pg of terms. One
- 4:57Speaker 1: of the honor code things at BYU you cannot be
- 5:02Speaker 1: with someone in any sort of intimate way or what
- 5:06Speaker 1: have you. And I basically had a girlfriend and I
- 5:08Speaker 1: think she might have said it was one of those
- 5:11Speaker 1: I just want to get into it. It's just when
- 5:13Speaker 1: I worked down there, it was just one of those things.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Kids being kids. Adults are adults, but they have their rules,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and so he violated that and he left and went
- 5:21Speaker 1: to Tulane and kind of finished off his career in
- 5:23Speaker 1: a nondescript way with the Green Wave last season. But
- 5:26Speaker 1: he's here, so it'd be interesting to see what he does.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance to maybe get himself
- 5:30Speaker 1: an invite back to the main camp if they want
- 5:32Speaker 1: to bring a fourth quarterback in and even just have
- 5:34Speaker 1: a practice squad guy in addition to three guys on
- 5:36Speaker 1: the roster. But the rest of those players are all here.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I'll tell you the other guy that just kind of
- 5:41Speaker 1: jumped out. We were watching him. I was talking to
- 5:44Speaker 1: Corbyn Smith about him. He's here, and I said, Devin Easton,
- 5:47Speaker 1: who was a late pick, seventh round pick, their second
- 5:51Speaker 1: of three seventh round picks. Devin east is a nose
- 5:53Speaker 1: tackle out of Minnesota, every bit of six five and
- 5:56Speaker 1: three twenty. He's not I'll say this, Red Bryant Red
- 6:01Speaker 1: felt like it was a little bit taller, maybe a
- 6:03Speaker 1: little thicker. But he's big, like he jumps off the
- 6:06Speaker 1: like you look at him and go okay, like if
- 6:08Speaker 1: there's something there, but you can't teach big, you just
- 6:12Speaker 1: you cannot teach big. And he looks every bit big
- 6:15Speaker 1: along the way. So but we looked at all we
- 6:18Speaker 1: saw all the guys out there, Andre four, Michael Dansby.
- 6:20Speaker 1: I didn't mention this. Both Stevens, who had on the
- 6:21Speaker 1: show this week. Manuel Henderson Junior didn't mention this in
- 6:24Speaker 1: the in the update. Now, let me just double check.
- 6:27Speaker 1: As of this morning, the Seahawks had signed I think
- 6:32Speaker 1: all but two of their draft picks. It's not what
- 6:35Speaker 1: it used to be. Let's see, do they sign a
- 6:38Speaker 1: seventh now? Yeah, Manuel Henderson, So yeah, they have signed
- 6:43Speaker 1: all but Price, I do believe are under contract now.
- 6:46Speaker 1: So out of the eight guys double checking, seven undrafted.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Oh no, that's I'm sorry, that's the rookie undrafted rookie
- 6:57Speaker 1: fore agents. I got a bunch of those guys coming
- 6:58Speaker 1: into but they've signed pretty much every but as far
- 7:00Speaker 1: as your draft picks, the guys they haven't signed include
- 7:03Speaker 1: Judarium Price, but six of the eight draft selections have
- 7:07Speaker 1: been signed already by this team. The one that hasn't
- 7:11Speaker 1: Bud Clark and Judarian Price. Those contracts. Remember back in
- 7:14Speaker 1: the day, you guys remember this, Anders, even though you're
- 7:17Speaker 1: a youngin just certainly desert. There used to be the
- 7:20Speaker 1: contract holdouts back in the day, right, like, all, is
- 7:24Speaker 1: your first round picking a sign? Is he going to
- 7:26Speaker 1: be there for the opening of camp? And I'm trying
- 7:28Speaker 1: to remember the last guy they had an issue with, Well,
- 7:32Speaker 1: it would have been I don't want to go all
- 7:34Speaker 1: the way back to twenty ten because I don't think
- 7:37Speaker 1: I mean, well Cam did it, no, but he would No,
- 7:40Speaker 1: I'm talking about drafted trookies.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Oh rookies. Oh yeah.
- 7:44Speaker 1: When they changed the CBA, they changed it so so
- 7:46Speaker 1: everything slotted now like there's no negotiation. You're going to
- 7:48Speaker 1: make this. That's what it is. It's kind of like
- 7:50Speaker 1: the NHL has the same thing. You're drafted here, You're
- 7:52Speaker 1: going to make this, Thanks for coming, and away you go.
- 7:55Speaker 1: That's kind of how it is. So it's not like
- 7:57Speaker 1: the old days where you have to worry about your
- 7:59Speaker 1: first round pick, or are a couple draft picks holding
- 8:01Speaker 1: out for more money that really doesn't happen anymore. So
- 8:05Speaker 1: so yeah, so six other eight have signed so far
- 8:08Speaker 1: have signed contracts for the Seahawks, so that's a good
- 8:10Speaker 1: thing as well. I think we're going to talk at
- 8:14Speaker 1: about one forty five today after Danny, I believe we're
- 8:19Speaker 1: gonna get Ricky White the third on and if you
- 8:22Speaker 1: remember that name, he was a seventh round draft pick
- 8:25Speaker 1: last year from UNLV. Kind of thought in a sense
- 8:29Speaker 1: a little bit sort of and I'm just kind of
- 8:32Speaker 1: like maybe a little bit like Emmanuel Henderson junior. They're
- 8:37Speaker 1: relatively the same size bull six to one, both mid
- 8:39Speaker 1: one eighties. Ricky White the third was drafted kind of
- 8:43Speaker 1: as a special teams guy, and he ended up, I believe,
- 8:47Speaker 1: on this practice squad all season. He's out there today
- 8:49Speaker 1: working out in his second year. Be interesting conversation that
- 8:53Speaker 1: we could have with him, because I mean, he was here.
- 8:56Speaker 1: He didn't really get a chance to play, but he
- 8:59Speaker 1: was here year and he's going through it for a
- 9:01Speaker 1: second time, so kind of we'll have a good fun
- 9:04Speaker 1: conversation with with Ricky White. He was drafted, release signed
- 9:08Speaker 1: the practice squad. He did get activated a couple of
- 9:12Speaker 1: games and actually did see time in two regular season games,
- 9:15Speaker 1: but was on the practice squad for the most of
- 9:17Speaker 1: the year, so he was Yeah, he was on the
- 9:19Speaker 1: practice squad most of the year. Two games he played
- 9:20Speaker 1: last year, So we'll hopefully get a chance to hear
- 9:23Speaker 1: from Ricky White the third a little bit later on.
- 9:26Speaker 1: He's one of those sneaky guys that, depending on how
- 9:28Speaker 1: things shake out, injuries, all that fun stuff and whatever happens,
- 9:31Speaker 1: could find his way onto a roster at some point.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I'm sure, if nothing else, practice squad material. Although if
- 9:37Speaker 1: you could show out in the in preseason, then being
- 9:42Speaker 1: just like that, you're you're probably talking about a guy
- 9:44Speaker 1: that that could also get picked up before he put
- 9:46Speaker 1: the practice squad. We'll probably spend more time next week, guys,
- 9:51Speaker 1: with this story. I won't spend a ton of time
- 9:54Speaker 1: get rick Riz coming up here in a few minutes,
- 9:55Speaker 1: but we'll probably spend some more time next week. The
- 10:00Speaker 1: Russell Wilson saga continues. So now he may be retiring.
- 10:05Speaker 1: He's talking. He sounds like he's really deep into conversations
- 10:08Speaker 1: with CBS about joining their pregame show whatever they call it,
- 10:14Speaker 1: NFL Today or whatever, the Sunday morning pregame show and
- 10:17Speaker 1: getting into television full time. First of all, like listen,
- 10:22Speaker 1: you know me, I like to tell you bad things
- 10:24Speaker 1: about Russ sometimes because some of the things he did
- 10:26Speaker 1: here we're not.
- 10:27Speaker 2: You know, more than most.
- 10:28Speaker 1: But I will say I think I think that he
- 10:32Speaker 1: would be great in that role. I think he would
- 10:35Speaker 1: be great in that role if if he because he's
- 10:39Speaker 1: easily one of the most articulate guys in the league
- 10:42Speaker 1: and understands television. I can tell you that for a fact,
- 10:46Speaker 1: Like I just I did enjoy talking to him in
- 10:49Speaker 1: our postgame shows on Fox over the years. He understands television,
- 10:53Speaker 1: understands how to engage the camera. Well spoken. Yes, he
- 10:56Speaker 1: speaks and cliches. Back then it was hard to drags.
- 11:00Speaker 1: I mean, I found it a great challenge to get
- 11:02Speaker 1: stuff out of him. But it was. But he was.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But he's very articulate, and he looks good on TV.
- 11:07Speaker 1: He would be I think he'd be a star, especially
- 11:09Speaker 1: if he was willing to do something a lot of
- 11:12Speaker 1: guys aren't. And that's that's be honest. Yeah, you know,
- 11:14Speaker 1: and and tell you what he sees. But damn, I mean,
- 11:17Speaker 1: one thing we do know. The guy studied film like
- 11:19Speaker 1: nobody's business like. He knows the game, and I think
- 11:23Speaker 1: the only downside, honestly, the only downside is, oh we
- 11:28Speaker 1: could we could be robbed of a Gino Russell reunion
- 11:30Speaker 1: in New York.
- 11:31Speaker 3: That's true.
- 11:32Speaker 1: That's the only thing that's kind of a bummer. It
- 11:35Speaker 1: also makes me wonder if the Jets said, yeah, thanks,
- 11:37Speaker 1: but no thanks. Yeah, that's right because Gino kind of
- 11:39Speaker 1: pushed for him.
- 11:40Speaker 2: If you're not getting a job with the Jets, that
- 11:43Speaker 2: is the ultimate death knell of your career, that.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Might be might be a sign, right that you got
- 11:49Speaker 1: to like, hey, it's it's time to call.
- 11:51Speaker 2: It quits, just hanging up and then also start your
- 11:54Speaker 2: new career.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm kind of there's part of me that's,
- 11:58Speaker 1: i'll be honest with you, a little bit bump for him.
- 12:00Speaker 1: He was on a Hall of Fame trajectory, and I
- 12:02Speaker 1: think that is just completely off the table now. I
- 12:06Speaker 1: don't think there's any chance that happens, which is unfortunate
- 12:09Speaker 1: because you know, you like your guys and he's a
- 12:11Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. He was the super Bowl champion quarterback.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Here we have two of those. Sam Darnold's one, he's
- 12:16Speaker 1: the other. I would have loved to have seen him,
- 12:18Speaker 1: you know, find his way to the Hall of Fame.
- 12:20Speaker 1: Despite everything that happened, how it ended here somebody somebody
- 12:23Speaker 1: mentioned the other day, I think it was to this morning,
- 12:25Speaker 1: to Twitter, to Corbyn like maybe it'd be he signed
- 12:29Speaker 1: the one day contract, retire Seahawk whatever. I don't know
- 12:32Speaker 1: if we're there yet, No, I don't. I don't know. Now.
- 12:36Speaker 1: One half of the issue, maybe one third of it.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Jody was involved too, but it was mostly him going
- 12:44Speaker 1: to Jody and telling him what he wanted, telling her
- 12:46Speaker 1: what he wanted. Pete's gone, John still here. This organization
- 12:51Speaker 1: is first class in terms of how they handle things.
- 12:53Speaker 1: And I can think and see the scenario in which
- 12:59Speaker 1: they would they forgive and forget pretty quick. You know,
- 13:03Speaker 1: Marshawn didn't leave on the best of terms. Sharman didn't
- 13:06Speaker 1: leave on the best of terms, you know, and said
- 13:09Speaker 1: some things in the way. All those things, those guys
- 13:11Speaker 1: have all been welcomed back. Hell, you know, they're they're
- 13:15Speaker 1: part of the Organs, they're on the field, they're hanging around.
- 13:17Speaker 1: I mean, they're there. They've been welcomed back.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Hey, you could throw Michael Bennett and.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Michael Bennett. You know, I'm reading a book
- 13:23Speaker 1: during Pete stuff and how he's you know what, Yeah,
- 13:25Speaker 1: all those guys, so maybe they would, and I think
- 13:28Speaker 1: it would be right if they did, it'd be kind
- 13:30Speaker 1: of good. But we may not be there yet with us.
- 13:33Speaker 1: We'll get more of that maybe the next week. But
- 13:35Speaker 1: if he does retire, hell of a career for a
- 13:37Speaker 1: guy that was picked as a short quarterback out of
- 13:40Speaker 1: Wisconsin via NC State in the third round. Came in.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Honestly brings back memories he watching him in twenty twelve
- 13:47Speaker 1: in this very rookie mini caamp type setting and we're like,
- 13:51Speaker 1: whoa that dude can spin it like this dude can?
- 13:54Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't none of us needed to be
- 13:56Speaker 1: humillin and and to see what this guy looked like
- 13:59Speaker 1: throw in the football and then obviously ends up playing
- 14:02Speaker 1: the job from Matt flann In and training camp. So
- 14:04Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, we'll check in the
- 14:06Speaker 1: Voice of the Mariners, Rick Riz will join us. Can't
- 14:08Speaker 1: wait to talk to Rizzy about the weekend that's coming

- 14:45Speaker 1: All right, we're back and you hear the music. You
- 14:48Speaker 1: thank Mariner Baseball. They're back in town for what will
- 14:51Speaker 1: be a glorious weekend weather wise, coming off a five
- 14:54Speaker 1: and one road trip and oh five and one fifty
- 14:57Speaker 1: one seems to kind of match up well. On the
- 15:00Speaker 1: Beacon Plumbing Hotline, I'm at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center.
- 15:04Speaker 1: He's getting ready for a broadcast tonight after a few
- 15:06Speaker 1: days off. Our friend, the legendary Mariner broadcast. So the
- 15:10Speaker 1: voice of the Manners, Rick Riz is with us. Hi, Rick,
- 15:13Speaker 1: how are you hey?
- 15:15Speaker 5: I And how you doing? Buddy?
- 15:16Speaker 6: I love your numerology there five one fifty one. Randy
- 15:20Speaker 6: gonna retires number tomorrow night. It's gonna be it's gonna
- 15:23Speaker 6: be a lot of fun. He was, he was something special.
- 15:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to Randy in a second. I do
- 15:29Speaker 1: want to just check in with you a little bit.
- 15:31Speaker 1: It's we haven't had you on him for for a
- 15:33Speaker 1: long time since last season you announced it's your last
- 15:35Speaker 1: year broadcasting, uh, which you know you deserve some time
- 15:39Speaker 1: to relax, uh and retire and just maybe enjoy baseball
- 15:43Speaker 1: without calling a game. But I know you love and
- 15:45Speaker 1: have a passion for it. But you know, for someone
- 15:47Speaker 1: like me and others in our area that just listen
- 15:50Speaker 1: to you for so many years, it's bittersweet happy for you,
- 15:54Speaker 1: but we'll be sad we won't hear your voice after
- 15:57Speaker 1: this season. Uh. I guess my question is how do
- 16:01Speaker 1: you approach this last year as a broadcaster knowing that
- 16:03Speaker 1: this is it. You get one more chance to do
- 16:06Speaker 1: something you love and you've done for decades.
- 16:09Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been really something kind of melancholy.
- 16:12Speaker 5: You know.
- 16:12Speaker 6: I'm trying to take in every situation, every game, everywhere
- 16:18Speaker 6: I go and take a mental snapshot of it and
- 16:21Speaker 6: just kind of file it away because I think I'm
- 16:24Speaker 6: going to be a wreck at the end of the year.
- 16:25Speaker 6: You know, I've been doing this for so long, and
- 16:27Speaker 6: I love what I've done for so long, for fifty
- 16:29Speaker 6: two years because I got to include the eight years
- 16:32Speaker 6: in the minor leagues and forty one here and three
- 16:34Speaker 6: in between with the Tigers, so I'm just enjoying as
- 16:38Speaker 6: they go along. I'm kind of pumping the brakes because
- 16:40Speaker 6: i know the end is, you know, coming up. That
- 16:43Speaker 6: light at the end of Tunne is really bright. But
- 16:45Speaker 6: i just want to find out what the next chapter
- 16:47Speaker 6: is in my life. At the age of seventy two,
- 16:49Speaker 6: I feel pretty good and I've been fortunate and dodged
- 16:53Speaker 6: a few bullets of a few years ago with an
- 16:55Speaker 6: exit that I had. So i want to spend more
- 16:58Speaker 6: time with my grandkids. I want to get on a
- 17:00Speaker 6: plane when I want to get on a plane, you know,
- 17:02Speaker 6: do some traveling, and so I'm looking forward to the
- 17:05Speaker 6: next chapter. But I'm still going to be around. I'm
- 17:07Speaker 6: not going anywhere. I'm going to stay right here. I
- 17:10Speaker 6: still want to do stuff whatever the Mariners want me
- 17:12Speaker 6: to do, as far as with the alumni group or
- 17:15Speaker 6: if they want me to talk to people up in
- 17:17Speaker 6: the suites or special events and things like that, I'm
- 17:21Speaker 6: still going to be here.
- 17:22Speaker 5: But I'm taking in.
- 17:24Speaker 6: It's possible to say this every pitch, I'm taking in,
- 17:27Speaker 6: every pitch of the season. I'm going to savor every
- 17:30Speaker 6: drop of the year.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Rick. One of the things that I've listen I love
- 17:34Speaker 1: your call. I just when I hear your voice, it
- 17:38Speaker 1: sounds like Mirror's baseball. It sounds like summer. And I
- 17:40Speaker 1: think for some of us that just gives us a
- 17:42Speaker 1: great feeling inside of us. But one of the things
- 17:45Speaker 1: is that, just as someone in the business, I've always
- 17:47Speaker 1: appreciated about you, I think that you know, you just
- 17:51Speaker 1: mentioned it. You had eight years in the minor leagues,
- 17:53Speaker 1: and yeah, to go through the grind and then to
- 17:56Speaker 1: get to the major leagues. To get to that level,
- 17:58Speaker 1: you work with a guy and Gary Hill, that has
- 18:00Speaker 1: called everything imaginable at the lowest of levels as well.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And now Gary's doing a great job next to you
- 18:05Speaker 1: in the booth up there. He deserves everything that he gets.
- 18:08Speaker 1: I always kind of felt like you appreciated the job
- 18:12Speaker 1: as much, if not more than most because you had
- 18:14Speaker 1: to work to get there.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Oh.
- 18:17Speaker 6: Absolutely, And I'm glad I wrote that up because you know,
- 18:20Speaker 6: I would see guys when I first got here in
- 18:23Speaker 6: nineteen eighty three complain about a flight even though though
- 18:26Speaker 6: we were traveling commercial, you know, And I just reminded myself,
- 18:30Speaker 6: I just sat there and if somebody would get upset
- 18:33Speaker 6: with Lee pellokutas are traveling sectary because.
- 18:35Speaker 5: The plane was late or something like that.
- 18:37Speaker 6: I reminded myself, Hey, just a couple of years ago,
- 18:40Speaker 6: I'm riding a dog on bus for eighteen hours from Memphis,
- 18:43Speaker 6: Tennessee to Orlando, Florida, you know, with twenty seven guys,
- 18:48Speaker 6: and I had two seats to myself behind Felipe Alou,
- 18:51Speaker 6: you know, the manager of the team, and Dave Hosteler
- 18:56Speaker 6: and John Rudy were two huge guys. They had to
- 18:59Speaker 6: sit next to one another for eighteen hours ago. So
- 19:02Speaker 6: I just reminded myself of that, and it kind of
- 19:04Speaker 6: puts things in perspective. I started as a clubhouse guy
- 19:08Speaker 6: making two hundred bucks a month doing three inings of
- 19:10Speaker 6: play by play in nineteen seventy five and Alexander Luisiana
- 19:14Speaker 6: so hot and humid down there. But it's all about
- 19:18Speaker 6: the journey, and I stayed with it. I still believed
- 19:21Speaker 6: myself for some reason. The end, I gave myself ten years,
- 19:24Speaker 6: and I said, if I don't make it in ten years,
- 19:26Speaker 6: then I got good to get a job, you know.
- 19:28Speaker 6: And thank god, Daveney House came along and hired me
- 19:32Speaker 6: in nineteen eighty three, after eight years of the Mior
- 19:34Speaker 6: leagues and it was the best thing that ever happened
- 19:37Speaker 6: to me. I was I just wanted to do one
- 19:39Speaker 6: year in the big leagues.
- 19:40Speaker 5: That was my goal.
- 19:41Speaker 6: And here I'm doing forty fourth year, you know, three
- 19:44Speaker 6: with the Tigers, forty one with the Marys. Then I
- 19:47Speaker 6: went to Detroit and David got me back. So I
- 19:50Speaker 6: owe him so much. And it's been a heck of
- 19:53Speaker 6: a journey. And I tell kids that find out what
- 19:56Speaker 6: your passion is and make that a career, no matter
- 19:58Speaker 6: what it is. Know, mine happened to be baseball and broadcasting.
- 20:02Speaker 6: I want to be the next Louis Aparicio growing up
- 20:04Speaker 6: in Chicago. Then I saw a slider three years in
- 20:07Speaker 6: college playing ball in Southern Illinois and the JB team,
- 20:10Speaker 6: and I thought my head, my head baseball coach Ag
- 20:13Speaker 6: Jones and I both agreed we I ought to go
- 20:15Speaker 6: into broadcasting.
- 20:16Speaker 5: So it's.
- 20:21Speaker 1: You're broadcaster, sir. Yeah.
- 20:25Speaker 7: He was great.
- 20:26Speaker 6: We'd be get great friends after I left there.
- 20:29Speaker 5: Oh man, he was awesome.
- 20:30Speaker 1: And well, it's I can relate. I can relate. Riding
- 20:33Speaker 1: a bus is if you if you have a goal
- 20:36Speaker 1: and you have a passion for something, if if my
- 20:38Speaker 1: buddy Mike Benton's listening. He understands he might be the
- 20:41Speaker 1: only guy along with myself and you that understand riding
- 20:44Speaker 1: a bush. Goldie knows this. He was in the minors.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Like when you're riding the bus and you're making no money,
- 20:50Speaker 1: but you're doing something you love. Sometimes it's the best
- 20:53Speaker 1: of themes. Sometimes it's the best. It also takes you
- 20:55Speaker 1: appreciate what comes later in life too.
- 20:56Speaker 6: So no doubt about it, no doubt. But there are
- 20:59Speaker 6: times were and Amarillo or in Memphis, and I knew
- 21:03Speaker 6: I was going to be on that dog on bus
- 21:05Speaker 6: for ten hours or twelve hours or eighteen hours.
- 21:07Speaker 5: I stood there with my pillow.
- 21:10Speaker 6: At the door and go, oh, no, I really want
- 21:12Speaker 6: to go in because I'm trapped in that tube for
- 21:15Speaker 6: ten hours, you know. So I get on along with
- 21:18Speaker 6: Tim Rains and all the other guys, Tim Wallack and Charloie.
- 21:22Speaker 6: Then and we get on the bus and we're all
- 21:24Speaker 6: in the same boat doing the same thing. We have
- 21:26Speaker 6: all our shared our same dreams, whether I was a broadcaster,
- 21:30Speaker 6: or the players that were on the bus, or Felipe
- 21:32Speaker 6: who our manager of Billy Gardner, Larry Manarth Well, the
- 21:35Speaker 6: same dream of you know, getting the big leagues, and
- 21:37Speaker 6: we shared that journey together. And to this day, you know,
- 21:40Speaker 6: I'm still good friends with guys. I spend time with them.
- 21:44Speaker 6: My legs Donny Reynolds, Harold's older brother, was my roommate
- 21:47Speaker 6: in Amarillo, Texas. And Rusty Gerhard another roommate of mine
- 21:51Speaker 6: and Amorillo. We're still close friends and we still keep
- 21:54Speaker 6: in touch. So you hang on to those friendships, and
- 21:57Speaker 6: you hang on to your hopes and dreams, and you
- 22:00Speaker 6: thank the Good Lord for giving you an opportunity to
- 22:03Speaker 6: finally get to.
- 22:04Speaker 5: The big leagues.
- 22:04Speaker 1: You know.
- 22:05Speaker 5: So it's been a great journey.
- 22:06Speaker 1: And we thank him for having you as our voice
- 22:08Speaker 1: for so many years. Rick Riz joining us here on
- 22:10Speaker 1: the Beaconplent Hotline. Well over your five decades of calling games,
- 22:13Speaker 1: you've seen all the greats in the in the last
- 22:16Speaker 1: you know, half century or so that have come through
- 22:18Speaker 1: this great game. And one of those will be honored
- 22:21Speaker 1: this weekend. Randy Johnston twenty two year Big league career,
- 22:24Speaker 1: three hundred and three wins, maybe the last three hundred
- 22:26Speaker 1: game winner we see. I mean that that may be
- 22:29Speaker 1: a number that we don't get to again. One hundred
- 22:32Speaker 1: and thirty of those wins came in Seattle during his
- 22:34Speaker 1: ten years with the Mariners. I remember when he got
- 22:37Speaker 1: traded here by from the expos I was working for
- 22:40Speaker 1: Bruce King at Como back then, many years ago, and
- 22:43Speaker 1: I was like, who's this big length he got? Yeah,
- 22:45Speaker 1: this this big length, Yeah, coming in. But when somebody
- 22:48Speaker 1: comes up to you and says, Rick, what do you remember?
- 22:50Speaker 1: What is Randy Johnson?
- 22:51Speaker 8: Who?
- 22:51Speaker 1: What do you remember about? Randy Johnson comes to your
- 22:54Speaker 1: mind first.
- 22:56Speaker 6: A guy who threw one hundred miles an dollar and
- 22:58Speaker 6: didn't know where it was going, you know, and and
- 23:01Speaker 6: then he figured it out. But I want to tell
- 23:04Speaker 6: you a quick story. I don't know how much time
- 23:05Speaker 6: we have, but we all on we heard about the trade. Yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 6: we heard about the trade. And then we went to
- 23:10Speaker 6: New York and we're sitting in the bar at the
- 23:11Speaker 6: Grand High Hotel at forty second eluts there, Daveney House
- 23:14Speaker 6: and myself and Kevin Kreman and Jim Lefever, and we
- 23:19Speaker 6: heard about the trade. Mark Langston's going to the Montreal
- 23:22Speaker 6: Expose and we go who'd we get? I mean, Randy Johnson,
- 23:25Speaker 6: you know, his outstanding pitcher. We got excuse me, Mark
- 23:28Speaker 6: Langston was an outstanding pitcher going to established star and
- 23:33Speaker 6: we go Jimmy goes, well, we got Randy Johnson, Brian
- 23:36Speaker 6: Holman and Gene Harrison, Dave and I Kevin looked at
- 23:39Speaker 6: other who these.
- 23:40Speaker 5: Guys nobody knew who they were. They didn't know who
- 23:43Speaker 5: they were.
- 23:44Speaker 6: Randy didn't know who he was, you know, or was
- 23:46Speaker 6: going to be, you know, until he had a little
- 23:48Speaker 6: chance to meeting with Dolan, Ryan and uh. But but
- 23:52Speaker 6: Jim leaf Fever said, you know, our scouts said they
- 23:55Speaker 6: really liked these guys. And Brian Holman was the most
- 23:57Speaker 6: established guy. He was really he had a near perfect
- 24:01Speaker 6: game twenty six up, twenty six down in April of
- 24:03Speaker 6: nineteen ninety. But to answer your question, Randy Johnson was
- 24:07Speaker 6: the most dominant pitcher I've ever seen take the mound
- 24:11Speaker 6: for the Seattle Mariners. When he was on the mound
- 24:13Speaker 6: and he was Randy Johnson, it was a wind day.
- 24:16Speaker 6: It was like, gave me the ball. He was old school.
- 24:19Speaker 6: He could have pitched back in the nineteen teens, the twenties,
- 24:23Speaker 6: the thirties, the forties with all those guys.
- 24:25Speaker 5: He wasn't afraid.
- 24:26Speaker 6: To, you know, give you a bow tie up and
- 24:30Speaker 6: in and set you down. And he did that in
- 24:32Speaker 6: the All Star Game, had fun with John Crogg and
- 24:34Speaker 6: Larry Walker, but he just wanted to do one thing
- 24:37Speaker 6: and that was win a ball game for the fans.
- 24:40Speaker 6: And when he found out he could control that fastball
- 24:43Speaker 6: and came up with mister Snappy the slider, he became
- 24:46Speaker 6: a Hall of Fame pitcher. And he had a meeting
- 24:48Speaker 6: with Nolan Ryan and he threw in the bullpen for
- 24:51Speaker 6: Nolan and Nolan said, man, you're six ten, but you're
- 24:55Speaker 6: throwing up hill and Randy said, what, I'm six ten, mount,
- 24:59Speaker 6: I'm throwing down hills.
- 25:00Speaker 9: No.
- 25:00Speaker 6: When he watched him warm up his right foot, his
- 25:04Speaker 6: front foot, he landed on his heel, so he said,
- 25:08Speaker 6: Nolan said, you're kind of throwing up and then down.
- 25:10Speaker 6: He said, I want you to land on the palm
- 25:12Speaker 6: of your foot. And now you're coming down. You're using
- 25:15Speaker 6: that six' ten. Frame you're coming down with that, fastball
- 25:19Speaker 6: and all of a, sudden everything, changed you, know For,
- 25:22Speaker 6: Randy and all of a, sudden the fastball had. Control
- 25:25Speaker 6: he could throw it where he wanted, to and sometimes
- 25:27Speaker 6: he wanted to throw it hide inside to certain, guys
- 25:31Speaker 6: and along came The slider and became A hall Of fame.
- 25:34Speaker 6: Pitcher so he gave us. HOPE i, mean when we
- 25:37Speaker 6: lost two games In New york in The American League Division,
- 25:40Speaker 6: series in the best of five. Series you, know we
- 25:44Speaker 6: lost that second game in fifteen Innings Jim labort sait
- 25:46Speaker 6: a home run off Of Tim.
- 25:49Speaker 5: Belcher and then late.
- 25:50Speaker 6: At, NIGHT i, mean we didn't Leave Yankee stadium and
- 25:52Speaker 6: think about two o'clock in the, morning had to fly
- 25:54Speaker 6: all the way. Home at about three hours into the,
- 25:56Speaker 6: flight it was pitch, black AND i walked to the
- 25:58Speaker 6: front of the plane AND i saw somebody to get
- 26:00Speaker 6: up and walk towards. Me it Was Luke, padella and
- 26:03Speaker 6: lud just looked at me AND i didn't say a,
- 26:05Speaker 6: word and he looked at.

- 26:21Speaker 6: was seven to, four and he, said you, know, guys

- 26:26Speaker 6: game four with two home, runs a three run home
- 26:29Speaker 6: run and a grand slam after we were down five.
- 26:31Speaker 6: Nothing and Then game five came. Along edgar had the
- 26:35Speaker 6: game winning, double but it Was randy who came in
- 26:38Speaker 6: just two days after he started in Won game three.
- 26:41Speaker 5: And relief in the.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Ninth andy struck after side in the, ninth didn't give
- 26:44Speaker 6: up a run in the, eleventh but that's when in
- 26:46Speaker 6: the bottom of the, Eleventh joey had a. Bunt bay,
- 26:48Speaker 6: Said junior had a single And edgar had the biggest
- 26:51Speaker 6: hit in our, history had doubled down the left of the.
- 26:53Speaker 6: Line i'm still, laughing smiling BECAUSE i, SAID i could
- 26:56Speaker 6: still See junior running third with a winning. Run but
- 26:58Speaker 6: it Was Randy johnson who said give me the, ball
- 27:02Speaker 6: and he went to lou before the ball game said
- 27:04Speaker 6: if you need, Me i'm, ready and, man he. Was
- 27:09Speaker 6: he was ready when he came. In you Remember ian
- 27:12Speaker 6: when he came in from the, bullpen it was like rock.
- 27:14Speaker 1: Stuff it was. Music was one of one of the
- 27:16Speaker 1: most thousand. Fans wasn't it one of the most chilling
- 27:20Speaker 1: moments In seattle sports?
- 27:21Speaker 5: Ever, yeah like it was just no doubt about.
- 27:23Speaker 1: IT i mean it was just thinking about to this,
- 27:25Speaker 1: DAY i get. Chills it was, unreal.
- 27:27Speaker 6: Unreal remember the scene when he was bigger than life
- 27:31Speaker 6: and And i'm going to tell him WHEN i see him.
- 27:33Speaker 5: Tonight i've always looked up to, You.
- 27:35Speaker 6: Randy i'm five to, seven you, know and see the
- 27:40Speaker 6: showed ABOUT I but remember the Movie Major league when
- 27:44Speaker 6: Wild thing comes in music and everything that was that
- 27:49Speaker 6: was real. Life it Was Randy johnson coming in out
- 27:52Speaker 6: of the bullpen down the leftfield line of The kingdom
- 27:54Speaker 6: to take on The yankees. There and we owe him
- 27:57Speaker 6: so much for uh that man. Season without that year
- 28:01Speaker 6: and what those guys did when they did and how
- 28:03Speaker 6: they did, it and we wouldn't be, here, No and
- 28:06Speaker 6: then ninety five team saved baseball And seattle And randy
- 28:10Speaker 6: was no pun intended a big reason.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Why you, know.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Ninety five he was eighteen and. Two we just talked,
- 28:17Speaker 1: about you know me eighteen and. Two in ninety seven
- 28:20Speaker 1: he was twenty and. FOUR i, mean those are just
- 28:23Speaker 1: those numbers are like every time he took the mound
- 28:27Speaker 1: as as a ball, club those guys must have felt
- 28:29Speaker 1: like we are going to, win like you, like the
- 28:32Speaker 1: pitching staff here right now is. INCREDIBLE i, mean the
- 28:34Speaker 1: guys you have right now are unreal and you probably
- 28:37Speaker 1: feel like in some ways the same, way but not
- 28:39Speaker 1: to that. Level when he took the mound when he
- 28:41Speaker 1: was in his, prime it was, like this is a, win,
- 28:43Speaker 1: right this is going to.
- 28:44Speaker 5: Be well and is no doubt about.
- 28:46Speaker 6: It it was, like LIKE i, said it was wind
- 28:48Speaker 6: day With randy on the. MOUNTAIN a lot of, times you,
- 28:50Speaker 6: know When randy would strike out side in the top
- 28:53Speaker 6: of the first in he'd come in the dugout and
- 28:55Speaker 6: tell the, guys just give me a run and it's.
- 28:56Speaker 5: Over just give me a.
- 28:58Speaker 6: Run and and with that lineup they gave about five or,
- 29:02Speaker 6: six you, know When junior in the lineup In buner
- 29:04Speaker 6: And blowers And Tino, martinez a Little joeycore and. Everybody but,
- 29:09Speaker 6: yeah he was something really. Fine and remember in ninety
- 29:11Speaker 6: six he had back, surgery, yeah you, know and then
- 29:14Speaker 6: he came back from that to become still the dominant,
- 29:18Speaker 6: pitcher still more strikeouts than ANY i think left handed
- 29:21Speaker 6: pitcher in the. History second most Strikeoutskind Nolan ryan three hundred.
- 29:25Speaker 6: Wins he got his three hundredth win as A San Francisco,
- 29:28Speaker 6: giant And i'll never forget when The giants came in.

- 29:54Speaker 6: pitch with a chip on his, shoulder which he. Did you,
- 29:56Speaker 6: know on the day he. Pitch he didn't look at,
- 29:58Speaker 6: him he didn't talk to. Him but that's What randy

- 30:03Speaker 5: Johnson so you left him.
- 30:05Speaker 6: Alone i'd walk through the club, Outs i'd See randy
- 30:07Speaker 6: sitting there with his headphones, on staring at his feet
- 30:09Speaker 6: or staring at his. Locker but he was just getting,
- 30:12Speaker 6: ready going in his mind what he needed to. Do

- 30:59Speaker 5: Now heck, no heck.
- 31:01Speaker 6: NO i saw a guy who ended the next year
- 31:05Speaker 6: trying to get through his first major league, season who,
- 31:08Speaker 6: battled and you know he's so. Talented he hit two
- 31:10Speaker 6: eleven last year with four home. RUNS i think he
- 31:12Speaker 6: had twenty four RBI's one stolen. Base but you, see
- 31:16Speaker 6: the talent was. There and then The Adam JUDE i
- 31:19Speaker 6: think wrote a really good article about him in today's
- 31:22Speaker 6: paper or yesterday's paper about you, know he changed his.
- 31:25Speaker 6: Diet he really worked, out AND i talked to him
- 31:27Speaker 6: at spring training AND i, said what do you do
- 31:30Speaker 6: during the. Offseason he went back home To pittsburgh and
- 31:33Speaker 6: he worked, hard especially on his, defense on his, footwork
- 31:37Speaker 6: and now we're seeing him make some really nice plays
- 31:39Speaker 6: on the other side of second. Base he is, stronger
- 31:42Speaker 6: he's making a strong throw over the first. Base BUT
- 31:44Speaker 6: i love the way his approach is at the. Plate
- 31:47Speaker 6: there is no moment that is too big for this.
- 31:50Speaker 6: Guy he slows the game. Down he's going to put
- 31:53Speaker 6: the bat on the, ball and he hits left handed.
- 31:55Speaker 6: Pitching he's got three home runs on the, ear two against,
- 31:58Speaker 6: lefties and then in the big moment from the seventh and,
- 32:01Speaker 6: nine AND i think he has nineteen RBIs on the
- 32:04Speaker 6: team to lead the ball. Club he slows things, down
- 32:07Speaker 6: he hits the ball up the, middle doesn't try to
- 32:09Speaker 6: pull or hits the ball the other. Way it's it
- 32:12Speaker 6: hard up the, middle or he gets that soft basin
- 32:14Speaker 6: in the left center. Field those count. Two those are.
- 32:16Speaker 6: Big he had a big two run single the other.
- 32:19Speaker 6: Day so he just knows who he is and goes
- 32:24Speaker 6: out there every day and does his, job and he
- 32:26Speaker 6: does it very.
- 32:27Speaker 5: Well So i'm so impressed with this.

- 40:51Speaker 1: joe you know WHAT i. LIKE i like to give

- 40:55Speaker 1: Buddy here we.
- 40:55Speaker 11: Go we.
- 40:55Speaker 10: GOT i haven't been too far off the last few.
- 40:59Speaker 10: Years Footing winter a couple of years. Ago but there's
- 41:02Speaker 10: a horse that's raced only In, japan Dan On bourbon
- 41:07Speaker 10: D A N O n Dan On bourbon number. Fourteen he's,
- 41:11Speaker 10: undefeated and he's by An american sire who's really doing,
- 41:15Speaker 10: well a Young american sire Named. Maxfield so this horse
- 41:18Speaker 10: has won easily all three. Starts he's run fast In.
- 41:21Speaker 10: Japan japanese horses the last five to seven years have
- 41:26Speaker 10: really performed well around the. World they haven't won The
- 41:30Speaker 10: Kentucky derby. Yet Forever Young got beat a couple of
- 41:34Speaker 10: noses a couple of years. Ago BUT i think Dan
- 41:36Speaker 10: On bourbon at around fifteen to one is a good.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Value.
- 41:41Speaker 10: Bet i'm going to have some money on. Him i'm
- 41:43Speaker 10: certainly going to have some money On So, happy And
- 41:45Speaker 10: i'm going to be rooting for him And Mark. Glatt
- 41:47Speaker 10: but Boy renegade threw the number one. Post he had
- 41:51Speaker 10: a tremendous win in The Arkansas. Derby but the one
- 41:54Speaker 10: post for a, closer there's going to be all these
- 41:57Speaker 10: horses getting out in front of him while the, ride you,
- 42:00Speaker 10: know kind of waits and bides his. Time so he
- 42:02Speaker 10: has really got his work cut out for. Him you,
- 42:06Speaker 10: know when there's ten horses in a, race he got
- 42:08Speaker 10: to pass, nine that's. Different but there's going to be
- 42:10Speaker 10: twenty in. Here So i'm a little against renegade from
- 42:14Speaker 10: the number one. Post So dan On bourbon and so
- 42:17Speaker 10: happy for me in The Kentucky, DERBY i love.
- 42:20Speaker 1: It, hey just real fast BEFORE i let you. GO
- 42:21Speaker 1: i got about a minute left, Here, Joe just what
- 42:24Speaker 1: does it? Mean the post? Position and you just kind
- 42:26Speaker 1: of touched on a little. Bit but how important is?
- 42:28Speaker 5: That?
- 42:29Speaker 10: Well, again you, know the number one post in a
- 42:33Speaker 10: twenty horse, field if you don't get out of the
- 42:35Speaker 10: gate fairly quickly and established, position say toward the front
- 42:40Speaker 10: or mid, pack there's just so much traffic that your
- 42:45Speaker 10: rider has to. Negotiate and looking At lucky as a
- 42:48Speaker 10: horse that was the favorite in the derby about ten years,
- 42:52Speaker 10: ago a little bit more and he had the one.
- 42:54Speaker 10: Post oh and he just had a rough. Trip then
- 42:56Speaker 10: he came back two weeks later and won The preakness.
- 42:59Speaker 10: Easily he was probably the best horse in The, derby
- 43:02Speaker 10: but the one post heard him and renegadees a. Closer
- 43:05Speaker 10: so you, know middle of the pack is. Good if
- 43:09Speaker 10: you have some, speed you know you're usually able to
- 43:12Speaker 10: get positioned because it's a long run to the first.
- 43:15Speaker 10: Turn so if you've got some natural speed that really.
- 43:19Speaker 10: Helps and other than, that you do want to save
- 43:22Speaker 10: some ground towards the. Inside you don't want to be
- 43:26Speaker 10: five six seven eight wide on both. Turns that's going
- 43:29Speaker 10: to take it out of. You so the jockeys have
- 43:33Speaker 10: a real task in front of them to get their
- 43:35Speaker 10: horse a good trip and might pick down on bourbon
- 43:40Speaker 10: and so happy have that what you call tactical speed
- 43:43Speaker 10: that can keep them probably ahead of at least two
- 43:47Speaker 10: thirds of the. Field so they should have a chance
- 43:50Speaker 10: to have a good trip in there and run their.
- 43:52Speaker 1: Best min juleb, tomorrow, yeah, yeah.
- 43:56Speaker 10: Min, Julibs Kentucky derby will be serving those just. Yeah

- 48:59Speaker 1: of to kind of spin around And, Andrews i'll lean
- 49:02Speaker 1: on you will wrap things up a little. Bit first of,
- 49:05Speaker 1: all we'll just get to The mariners real. Fast nice.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Week they end up going five and one on the road.
- 49:10Speaker 1: Trip they come home at five. Hundred we, heard AND
- 49:13Speaker 1: i didn't get a chance to. React on the other,
- 49:15Speaker 1: side we Had Rick rizon in the last. Segment if he,
- 49:17Speaker 1: missed it'd be. Podcast rick was. Sensational oh AND i
- 49:21Speaker 1: when he was talking to like he it's funny BECAUSE
- 49:24Speaker 1: i hadn't even said one guy the Name Cole young,
- 49:27Speaker 1: yet but that's WHAT i wanted to talk.
- 49:28Speaker 3: About he knew exactly where you're going with it, well.
- 49:30Speaker 1: And and you, know like it's just What Cole young
- 49:33Speaker 1: has done and answered maybe, questions, right would you, say
- 49:38Speaker 1: answer some questions like who's your second basement for the,
- 49:40Speaker 1: FUTURE i, mean take away the RBIs in six straight
- 49:43Speaker 1: games and all. That just he has been consistently really
- 49:47Speaker 1: good all. Year, yes, Right over the last thirteen, games
- 49:51Speaker 1: he's hitting three eighty, three eight, runs two, doubles a home,
- 49:54Speaker 1: run TEN, rbi three, walks two soule in bases and
- 49:57Speaker 1: a nine to TWELVE. Ps that'll do six straight games
- 50:02Speaker 1: with AN, rbi the longest Since gino had one of
- 50:04Speaker 1: that had that in twenty twenty. Three think about that
- 50:08Speaker 1: What cal did last. Year he didn't have RBIs in
- 50:11Speaker 1: six straight, games But gino did it last in twenty
- 50:14Speaker 1: three seasons. AGO i, mean if you want to look at,
- 50:19Speaker 1: war he is fourth among all position, players and in
- 50:25Speaker 1: one point nine wins above, replacement he leads second basement
- 50:28Speaker 1: in that category nine defensive runs, saved which is again we're,
- 50:33Speaker 1: thinking is this guy can you play? Defense he didn't
- 50:35Speaker 1: have a strong, Arm BUT i JUST i think What rick.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Said he was effusive in his, praise AND i think
- 50:39Speaker 1: we're kind of the same, Way like they found their
- 50:41Speaker 1: second basement in the. Future actually he's not the. Future
- 50:43Speaker 1: they found their second basement of the, present and the
- 50:45Speaker 1: future is.
- 50:46Speaker 3: Here, yeah and he's still only twenty, Two and that's
- 50:48Speaker 3: crazy to.
- 50:48Speaker 1: Me he's got more pop THAN i thought, too, right
- 50:51Speaker 1: didn't we? Didn't we kind of we wonner about his
- 50:53Speaker 1: like what kind of and you don't have to hit
- 50:55Speaker 1: a home? Runs just you, know how's your exit? Villa
- 50:56Speaker 1: all that fun stuff that they look at these.
- 50:58Speaker 12: Days so it's interesting BECAUSE i think think that he
- 51:01Speaker 12: had that same thought because last year we all heard
- 51:04Speaker 12: kind of his profile as a prospect was a very
- 51:06Speaker 12: contact dependent. Guy he was very back to ball, skills
- 51:11Speaker 12: less pop than a lot of other big prospects. Nowadays
- 51:15Speaker 12: and it's weird BECAUSE i think when he came up
- 51:18Speaker 12: to The, mariners and when he had, success he seemed
- 51:22Speaker 12: like was trying to portray that he had more power
- 51:25Speaker 12: than he. Did and that's one of the. REASONS i,
- 51:27Speaker 12: think obviously just your first year in major league baseball
- 51:30Speaker 12: that he's trying to. Adjust but his swings seemed long to,
- 51:34Speaker 12: me and he would connect and it would go. Far
- 51:36Speaker 12: AND i think he actually hit the longest home run
- 51:38Speaker 12: of Any mariner last, year so it's kind of showed
- 51:41Speaker 12: that he can still have some. Pop but this year
- 51:43Speaker 12: it kind of seems, like all, right this is the
- 51:45Speaker 12: cool young that we were, advertised the guy that will
- 51:48Speaker 12: put the ball in, play will make really good contact
- 51:51Speaker 12: gap to, gap and then when he gets, one he
- 51:54Speaker 12: really gets, one you know WHAT i, Mean.
- 51:56Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No and IT'S i just it's. Awesome like
- 51:59Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where you're kind of
- 52:01Speaker 1: putting a team together AND i, know we don't want,
- 52:03Speaker 1: to Hear Jerry topotos, say you, know we want to
- 52:05Speaker 1: be you, know contending and good sustainable all those, years
- 52:10Speaker 1: but part of that is to have a roster that's that's,
- 52:13Speaker 1: consistent right and, intact and not having to go out and, say,
- 52:15Speaker 1: okay we got to replace six, positions, right they don't
- 52:18Speaker 1: they know who their second basement. Is obviously the other
- 52:21Speaker 1: side of the left side of the infield has question
- 52:23Speaker 1: marks right in the. Future but you know who your
- 52:25Speaker 1: first basement, is you know your second basement, is you
- 52:27Speaker 1: know your catcher, is you know who your center fielder. Is,
- 52:30Speaker 1: outfield you can. Start we can have debates about who's
- 52:32Speaker 1: where and all. THAT i, Mean, randy but but it's
- 52:35Speaker 1: you've kind of put something nicely together here along the. Way,
- 52:38Speaker 1: okay the other couple of other things to hit. On
- 52:40Speaker 1: first of, all just real quick on The seahawks and,
- 52:42Speaker 1: WELL i think we're gonna hear From Ricky white one forty,
- 52:44Speaker 1: five but we'll probably touch base on a little bit
- 52:46Speaker 1: more on what we're seeing out here at The Virginia
- 52:47Speaker 1: Based Athletic center. Today guys on the field right, now
- 52:49Speaker 1: getting around. There it is nice to see two years
- 52:52Speaker 1: that mill roll here last, year so that was, Fine
- 52:54Speaker 1: but two years ago the quarterbacks at rookie minniecamp were
- 52:57Speaker 1: just did see did see a nice little catch out
- 53:01Speaker 1: of the backfield By jadari And, price albeit shorts and
- 53:04Speaker 1: jersey and no pads and not a lot of, content you,
- 53:07Speaker 1: know but did like didn't look like Didn't boba just
- 53:10Speaker 1: looked as clean as can be and. Smooth thanks for coming,
- 53:13Speaker 1: man he looks. Good, Dang i'm excited to watch him play.
- 53:15Speaker 1: Preseason be. Fine we won't know what he can do until,
- 53:18Speaker 1: preseason like we we really. Won't, yeah AND i pads.
- 53:21Speaker 1: On when you see the pads on and guys actually popping, dues.
- 53:23Speaker 12: It'll be really his first time in a long time
- 53:26Speaker 12: in his whole career that he'll be like the guy,
- 53:29Speaker 12: guy you know WHAT i.
- 53:29Speaker 3: Mean, so, yeah you can respond two different.
- 53:32Speaker 12: Ways you can be, like, Oh i'm you, know there's
- 53:34Speaker 12: a REASON i was a, backup or you, know maybe
- 53:37Speaker 12: it was untapped potential By Notre.
- 53:38Speaker 3: Dame you never.
- 53:39Speaker 1: Know, yeah, YEAH i mean it's, yeah it's a whole
- 53:41Speaker 1: different role for. Him along the. Way there's a long discussion,
- 53:43Speaker 1: Yesterday John canzana was on with our morning or afternoon
- 53:47Speaker 1: show With softy And fain And jackson about The blazer's,
- 53:52Speaker 1: ownership and Then Mike farrell wrote a column this morning
- 53:55Speaker 1: and In The times cautionary tale For seahawks New blazer
- 53:58Speaker 1: ownership and all of. THAT i thought there's two things
- 54:01Speaker 1: that were going, on and you guys bought it up
- 54:02Speaker 1: yesterday on The morning you were filling in For ashley
- 54:04Speaker 1: yesterday in The Morning, show the Whole zuckerberg and the
- 54:07Speaker 1: other guy from.
- 54:08Speaker 3: From by the, way that report has been refuted by.
- 54:11Speaker 1: Everybody, yes in, fact in fact That Softy anddict did
- 54:14Speaker 1: a great. Job they got a. Guy the first guy
- 54:15Speaker 1: that refuted, IT i, THINK i don't even. Know There's Puck,
- 54:18Speaker 1: sports and There's Front Office, sports and then There's bloomberg
- 54:22Speaker 1: and there's all these but one of the guys that
- 54:24Speaker 1: immediately refuted, it who's a business writer actually From. Seattle,
- 54:27Speaker 1: yeah those guys had them on, yesterday so that that
- 54:30Speaker 1: kind of went out the. Way, listen here's the thing
- 54:32Speaker 1: with with that type of with those, Guys, Zuckerberg, Bezos,
- 54:37Speaker 1: cook who AM i Who i'm Missing, Bill Bill, gates
- 54:44Speaker 1: guys like That. Musk. Yeah, like it's very easy just
- 54:47Speaker 1: to google who's got a you, know who's got net
- 54:50Speaker 1: worth of? Whatever, right the top net worth guys in The,
- 54:53Speaker 1: states and then start making. Connections all they're A West
- 54:55Speaker 1: coast guy or they're you, know in the tech, world
- 54:58Speaker 1: and all Those east. Whatever, right you started connecting some
- 55:02Speaker 1: dots and, go oh this this makes sense or this
- 55:04Speaker 1: doesn't make, sense and all THOSE i get all. That,
- 55:07Speaker 1: listen if if any of those dudes wanted to buy a,
- 55:10Speaker 1: team right and they just could go into their couch
- 55:13Speaker 1: and just pull out loose change to do so with
- 55:14Speaker 1: the billions of, dollars they. Would, yeah they've had plenty of.
- 55:18Speaker 1: Opportunity the only time it's ever really been shot. Down
- 55:21Speaker 1: bezos had an opportunity to buy The washington or wanted
- 55:23Speaker 1: to buy The Washington commanders, famously, right, yeah bought The Washington,
- 55:26Speaker 1: post basically ran that thing into the, ground has destroyed,
- 55:30Speaker 1: that you, know one of the institutional newspapers in our.
- 55:32Speaker 1: Country but, he you, know he and THE nfl said,
- 55:35Speaker 1: no like they went different a different direction with the.
- 55:38Speaker 1: Ownership there's a third. Party canzono did a great job
- 55:40Speaker 1: explaining it. Yesterday it's not Like jody And burt cold
- 55:43Speaker 1: are picking up the phone and taking taking calls from.
- 55:45Speaker 1: People there's a third party that THE i think all
- 55:48Speaker 1: the leagues go. Through in, FACT i talked To canzono
- 55:50Speaker 1: yesterday off last night about some other stuff off the,
- 55:52Speaker 1: air and he was telling me that he asked me
- 55:55Speaker 1: about THE. NHL i, SAID i really don't know what
- 55:56Speaker 1: THE nhl, does but it sounds like a lot of
- 55:58Speaker 1: these leagues do the same. THING, NBA, nfl they have
- 56:02Speaker 1: this this law firm that basically helps broker deals because we're,
- 56:06Speaker 1: TALKING i, mean the amount of money we're talking is
- 56:08Speaker 1: just insane and really in this day and, age by and,
- 56:12Speaker 1: large most, people if you're gonna buy a, team you're
- 56:15Speaker 1: not doing it on your. Own there are a handful that,
- 56:18Speaker 1: can Like Steve bomber. Could If Steve bomber wanted to
- 56:20Speaker 1: buy The seahawks, TOMORROW i bet THE nba would or
- 56:22Speaker 1: THE nfl would let him in the club in a. Second,
- 56:24Speaker 1: yep we haven't heard that at. All he's got the
- 56:27Speaker 1: money and he. Could, again he's one of those guys
- 56:30Speaker 1: that's got stupid money and he could do it just for.
- 56:31Speaker 1: Fun but we haven't heard. That and you, know he's
- 56:34Speaker 1: got his stuff going on with The. Clippers he built
- 56:36Speaker 1: that building down, there or The Into It dome and
- 56:37Speaker 1: all those. THINGS i just don't know if that's an
- 56:41Speaker 1: interest for. Him gates has never expressed an interest in any,
- 56:44Speaker 1: way shape or form of buying a team in any sport.
- 56:46Speaker 1: Anywhere as, Mentioned bezeils just had the one And zuckerberg
- 56:51Speaker 1: feels like he's got his hands. Full AND i DON'T
- 56:53Speaker 1: i don't know how the Way meta is right now
- 56:55Speaker 1: and the layoffs and, stuff, right, yeah but what everyone's
- 57:02Speaker 1: kind of curious about or worried. About you don't want
- 57:04Speaker 1: to get a guy Like Tom dundin in here right,
- 57:06Speaker 1: Right and he's the new owner of The. Blazers AND
- 57:09Speaker 1: i Saw Joe cronin's THE gm for The, blazers and
- 57:13Speaker 1: he had their end of the year press conference, yesterday
- 57:16Speaker 1: AND i was talking to somebody down there that was
- 57:17Speaker 1: covering it because he basically covered up For. Dundon, no
- 57:22Speaker 1: he said it was his fault they didn't bring the
- 57:23Speaker 1: guys in the two way contracts on the road.
- 57:25Speaker 3: Trip, really why is that the GM's. Decision it's.
- 57:29Speaker 1: Not he's doing what a good employee. Does he's covering
- 57:32Speaker 1: for his. Guy, yeah he's covering for his. Guy because
- 57:35Speaker 1: here's the. Thing when you're doing shoot arounds of, practices
- 57:37Speaker 1: you want extra. Bodies you want the bodies there looking
- 57:40Speaker 1: at AN nhl roster right now with the scratches they
- 57:41Speaker 1: got like ten, scratches they call, them the black aces
- 57:43Speaker 1: are out, there you, know they working out the extra
- 57:45Speaker 1: goalie all that kind of. Stuff they wanted those guys,
- 57:47Speaker 1: there and, honestly you're a two way. Deal Caleb Love
- 57:50Speaker 1: arizona's one of them that helped them get. There you,
- 57:54Speaker 1: know those guys all actually contributed this. Year he's. Cheap
- 57:57Speaker 1: and so that's the cautionary. Tale AND i think that
- 58:00Speaker 1: that's what worries, me not about The, seahawks to be
- 58:02Speaker 1: honest with, You it worries me about THE. Nba, Yeah
- 58:05Speaker 1: and here's why it worries me about THE. Nba what
- 58:08Speaker 1: if what if we get into a situation where it's
- 58:13Speaker 1: not the group we think it's going to. Be maybe
- 58:16Speaker 1: the money gets out of control in terms of what
- 58:19Speaker 1: they're gonna you know WHAT nba owners are, demanding and
- 58:23Speaker 1: you'd get somebody in here that is a fifteen percent
- 58:26Speaker 1: owner that is also, cheap which Is Tom dundant because
- 58:31Speaker 1: that's what he. Is and then the rest is private
- 58:33Speaker 1: equity and on their investors and they don't do things
- 58:36Speaker 1: the right. WAY i don't worry about The. SEAHAWKS i
- 58:38Speaker 1: think the END i and maybe this is a blind naive.
- 58:41Speaker 1: TRUST i believe THE nfl will do the right thing
- 58:44Speaker 1: with The, seahawks and as Will. JODY i, FRANKLY i
- 58:47Speaker 1: Hope jody has a piece of, it you, KNOW i
- 58:50Speaker 1: hope SHE'S i hope she's still part of. IT i
- 58:53Speaker 1: think she's done a great. JOB i think there's you,
- 58:55Speaker 1: know Since paul passed away and what was, it twenty,
- 58:57Speaker 1: eighteen there's there's no doubt she's been a good steward
- 59:01Speaker 1: for the franchise and she cares about. It SO i
- 59:03Speaker 1: do hope that that happens THE. Nfl THE nfl is
- 59:09Speaker 1: a interesting entity in the sense that they have done
- 59:12Speaker 1: a good job of flushing out bad, owners forcing both
- 59:16Speaker 1: In carolina And, washington forcing bad owners to sell the. Team,
- 59:19Speaker 1: now in both cases it wasn't for being, frugal, cheap
- 59:24Speaker 1: not running the organization top. Flight it was for in one,
- 59:28Speaker 1: CASE i believe a racist comment In, carolina and Obviously
- 59:31Speaker 1: Daniel snyder had all kinds of, issues all kinds of
- 59:34Speaker 1: human resource, issues and, yeah that Was BUT i think
- 59:39Speaker 1: the point is that they were able to do, that
- 59:42Speaker 1: and they did move Those SO i don't worry about The.
- 59:44Speaker 1: SEAHAWKS i worry more ABOUT i, Mean i'm ABOUT i
- 59:50Speaker 1: put a number on it eighty percent sure that if
- 59:54Speaker 1: we get THE nba, back it'll be The oakview group
- 59:56Speaker 1: or one. ROOF i guess as we're calling them, now
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: there's that twenty. Percent if it's, them AND i know
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: we've we've had the, Conversation i'll look at the text
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: line four nine four or five. One well about the hockey, team.
- 1:00:09Speaker 9: How's it had?
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Success, yeah and you can point to Ownership sam y
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: wiki right and say did you make the best decision
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: with HIGHER, A b OR. C but the one thing
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: they've never done is skimped and been and been. Cheap
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: they haven't cut. Corners they've never cut. Corners if you
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: want to say they've made bad decisions in terms of
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: who they've hired and or fired or what have, you
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: that's one. Thing Remember sam's not making And todd's not
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: making the decisions to you, know on player. Personnel that
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: but the people that they hired. You and so if
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: you want to go down that, Road i'll dance with
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: you And i'll, say, YEAH i can't argue with. That
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: but in terms of what you just, said, yeah they
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: don't cut, corners So i'd feel good. There but, yeah
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: the other part, is and i'll let you jump in,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: here the other part is softy in the middle of the,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: Show yesterday's, CHANGE i don't. Care i'll take The blazers
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: right because ken'sto throughout a number of. Years yeah, soft he,
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: said it's you, know at the start of the the you,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: know six months, ago would you think the chances The
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: blazers moved To seattle where he said one? Percent he,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: says what do you think they are? Now And canzono
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: said Thirty and there's this really in some ways a
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: complicated dance of that everybody's kind of playing with right
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: now that If dundon doesn't get what he, wants and
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: it sounds like The portland politicians are just waiting on
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: the city council are going to come through with the.
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: Renovations but it's but maybe that's not what he really,
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: wants you, know like Like Clayton bennett was an interest
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: like no one ever called his bluff hundred. Percent but
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: remember he just down the road from we're sitting, here
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: down by the. Landing Clayton bennett was talking about building a.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: Building you, know the city Of rent was all over,
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: that and but he wanted all kinds of help from the,
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: state went down and testified at The State we were
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: there that night At. OLYMPIA i mean this was two
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: thousand and, six fall of, six early, seven and most
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: even because the session was in so it would have
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: Been January february o. Seven he didn't want. That he
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: never wanted. That, now like if they would have come
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: through and, said, yeah here you, go here's all the,
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: money go build a, BUILDING i don't know what would have.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Happened because he wanted to move the. TEAM i wonder With,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: dundon does he want to move The. BLAZERS i, still
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: for a variety of, REASONS i wouldn't want to see that.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Happen part of it would be he would be the.
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: Owner that's the main reason for.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: Me that's one hundred percent of the. Reason, yes you
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: don't want that guy owning AN nba team in our.
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: Town, NO i don't want to know owning anything in our.
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: TOWN i. DON'T i, mean, FRANKLY i think IT'S i
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: think it's bad business that this guy owns AN nba
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: team In, portland right for a team that's on the
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: up and, Come, like the only way you screw that
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: thing up is don't pay a, coach which he doesn't
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: feel appear to be willing to, do and don't pay
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: your free agents and cut. CORNERS i don't think he's
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: good for THE nba In, portland and my, god he'd
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: be horrible for. Here, yeah AND i know we're all
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: desperate to get the team. BACK i get, that BUT
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: i don't, Know, ANDREWS i don't want to see that.
- 1:03:06Speaker 12: HERE i honestly believe most people agree with. YOU i
- 1:03:08Speaker 12: think most people would realize that that you'd be doing
- 1:03:12Speaker 12: To portland what happened to, Us AND i don't think
- 1:03:15Speaker 12: people want that kind of relationship with THE, nba even
- 1:03:19Speaker 12: if the team might start off in the first couple
- 1:03:22Speaker 12: of years being, better because you wouldn't be an expansion,
- 1:03:24Speaker 12: team you'd be a relocation and you already would have
- 1:03:27Speaker 12: a roster and all that.
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: Stuff we've talked about.
- 1:03:28Speaker 12: That, before but it's it's you want to have you
- 1:03:32Speaker 12: know you. Don't then it becomes the whole history. Thing
- 1:03:35Speaker 12: do you Have portland's? History do you Have seattle's? History
- 1:03:37Speaker 12: like what ends up going on? There it's it's way
- 1:03:40Speaker 12: too gross and, murky AND i JUST i just want
- 1:03:43Speaker 12: to clean, start you know WHAT i.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Mean i'm with, You, YEAH i. Think so let me

- 1:05:42Speaker 1: Nfl draft recap gets From Randy, johnson memories from him
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: as well all. THAT i want to start, though with
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: what you wrote about. YESTERDAY i think it's important to
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: make note of. This april twenty third was a big
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: day for.
- 1:05:56Speaker 13: You why, well the first day it was the last
- 1:06:01Speaker 13: TIME i decided to quit alcohol so, far it wasn't
- 1:06:05Speaker 13: the first TIME i, tried but that was the first.
- 1:06:08Speaker 13: DAY i have not been drunk since that, Day so
- 1:06:10Speaker 13: nine years of, sobriety and it is a pretty important
- 1:06:15Speaker 13: moment for me and something that has made opened more
- 1:06:19Speaker 13: possibilities in my life THAN i thought and something THAT
- 1:06:22Speaker 13: i feel it's just it's been a huge weight that
- 1:06:25Speaker 13: was lifted off of. Me So i'm pretty grateful for
- 1:06:27Speaker 13: all of.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: THAT i think this is a conversation and we'll get
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: to sports in a, second BUT i think it probably
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: there's probably somebody out there that could be helped by.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: It when did you know that you had to take that?
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: Step and you said it wasn't the first.
- 1:06:39Speaker 13: Time, No SO i don't Think i've ever really had
- 1:06:43Speaker 13: a healthy relationship with. Alcohol And i'm someone who binge
- 1:06:47Speaker 13: drank WHEN i was a, teenager AND i think that's
- 1:06:49Speaker 13: pretty common in this country and into, college AND i
- 1:06:53Speaker 13: did like WHEN i was, YOUNGER i would think of
- 1:06:55Speaker 13: it as that's just a.
- 1:06:57Speaker 11: Phase when you black out or you drink too.
- 1:06:59Speaker 13: Much BUT i think that's that trait or that streak
- 1:07:05Speaker 13: has really run through the twenty five years THAT i did,
- 1:07:08Speaker 13: drink AND i tried different measures to moderate my intake of.
- 1:07:14Speaker 11: Alcohol i'd set.
- 1:07:16Speaker 13: LIMITS i would think, About, Okay i've got to make
- 1:07:19Speaker 13: sure THAT i have a full dinner BEFORE i, drink
- 1:07:21Speaker 13: like all of these things to moderate the.
- 1:07:24Speaker 11: Process and the truth is.
- 1:07:25Speaker 13: Is that that works some of the, time but eventually for,
- 1:07:29Speaker 13: me EVENTUALLY i will allow myself to get to that
- 1:07:34Speaker 13: point of just extreme. Drunkenness that that's the destination where
- 1:07:39Speaker 13: it will, eventually not every, time but eventually IF i do.
- 1:07:42Speaker 13: That and the only thing that worked was really taking
- 1:07:45Speaker 13: it off the table completely for, me AND i was
- 1:07:49Speaker 13: afraid about. THAT i was afraid, BECAUSE i think in
- 1:07:53Speaker 13: part BECAUSE i thought it was a sign of weakness to, say,
- 1:07:55Speaker 13: LOOK i can't control my consumption of, alcohol SO i
- 1:07:58Speaker 13: need to stop. It AND i think it was a
- 1:08:01Speaker 13: recognition of, reality like that's HOW i see it, now
- 1:08:04Speaker 13: and that ONCE i made that, step it it wasn't,
- 1:08:07Speaker 13: easy but things started to feel so much, better AND i,
- 1:08:11Speaker 13: realized and this was how much SHAME i was carrying
- 1:08:15Speaker 13: around from. IT i was hiding how MUCH i was,
- 1:08:17Speaker 13: drinking from from my, spouse from other, PEOPLE i was
- 1:08:21Speaker 13: drinking by, myself and these were all things that were
- 1:08:25Speaker 13: signifiers of. THAT i recognized it was a, problem BUT i.
- 1:08:30Speaker 13: Wasn't it took me a bit to get to the
- 1:08:33Speaker 13: point Where i'm, Like, OKAY i need to.
- 1:08:35Speaker 11: Stop and really it was WHEN.
- 1:08:37Speaker 13: I got the fear of what would happen IF i
- 1:08:40Speaker 13: continued drinking was greater than the FEAR i had about stopping.
- 1:08:45Speaker 13: DRINKING i knew that my life was really GOING i
- 1:08:49Speaker 13: had put.
- 1:08:50Speaker 11: Myself in position WHERE i could start losing. THINGS i could.
- 1:08:53Speaker 13: Start losing things my, family my, marriage my, job like
- 1:08:56Speaker 13: those sort of things of IF i keep on this,
- 1:08:58Speaker 13: PATH I i don't know where that's going to end.
- 1:09:01Speaker 11: Up and there are very few things in this.
- 1:09:06Speaker 13: World where when you're very thick or you're having a
- 1:09:09Speaker 13: hard time and you say, like, okay do this for two,
- 1:09:13Speaker 13: weeks do this for a, month and you'll feel markedly
- 1:09:16Speaker 13: better in the same way that drugs and alcohol. Are
- 1:09:20Speaker 13: the turnaround you can experience when you're able to do
- 1:09:25Speaker 13: that is really truly, remarkable and for, me all the
- 1:09:29Speaker 13: things THAT i was afraid THAT i would miss.
- 1:09:32Speaker 11: Are more than made up. FOR i don't really miss,
- 1:09:35Speaker 11: them and they're more than made up for the experiences
- 1:09:38Speaker 11: that we.
- 1:09:38Speaker 13: Have right, Now i'm In seattle for a sports weekend
- 1:09:43Speaker 13: And i'm with two of my college. Buddies we're going Into,
- 1:09:46Speaker 13: rookies which is down In Columbia, city and they might have.
- 1:09:49Speaker 13: BEERS i will not be, drinking but the fact of
- 1:09:51Speaker 13: being around them and being around, alcohol for, me that's
- 1:09:54Speaker 13: not a, Trigger AND i just feel so much better about.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: Myself, danny when did it stop being a? Trigger, like
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: when did it stop being a situation where you could
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: do what you're going to do, Today like you're you're
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: going to go in your buddy's going to have a
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: few pops and and probably be fine and responsible about,
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: it and you're. Not you're not tempted to go with
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: them or to do it with.
- 1:10:14Speaker 14: Them, Yeah so for, me the main triggers at first
- 1:10:20Speaker 14: were moments when either my wife was out of town
- 1:10:24Speaker 14: OR i was, traveling OR i was.
- 1:10:25Speaker 11: Going to be on my own for the.
- 1:10:27Speaker 13: Evening BUT i didn't have any specific THINGS i needed to,
- 1:10:30Speaker 13: do and so for the first YEAR i was really
- 1:10:34Speaker 13: conscious about creating structure around.
- 1:10:37Speaker 11: That if my wife did go out of, TOWN i
- 1:10:39Speaker 11: would be going to a.
- 1:10:40Speaker 13: Meeting smart recovery is a cognitive behavioral therapy based system
- 1:10:46Speaker 13: or an alcoholics anonymous. Meeting make sure THAT i go
- 1:10:49Speaker 13: to a. Meeting i'd set up an appointment at a.
- 1:10:51Speaker 13: Gym and the question of WHEN i started to feel
- 1:10:54Speaker 13: not triggered WAS i WOULD i gradually put myself in
- 1:10:59Speaker 13: live situations WHERE i had limited. EXPOSURE i would meet somebody,
- 1:11:03Speaker 13: somewhere AND i always do kind of have that out
- 1:11:06Speaker 13: of if it starts to get a little uncomfortable for,
- 1:11:09Speaker 13: me OR i feel like everybody around me is.
- 1:11:13Speaker 11: Enjoying the thing is more THAN i.
- 1:11:16Speaker 13: Am i'm usually willing to leave, now BUT i would,
- 1:11:19Speaker 13: say like to answer your question two or three years
- 1:11:22Speaker 13: to the point WHERE i feel good about, It like
- 1:11:25Speaker 13: right now at our apartment In New, york there's there's
- 1:11:28Speaker 13: my wife's got five bottles of.
- 1:11:30Speaker 11: Wine she doesn't drink very, much but there is.
- 1:11:32Speaker 13: Alcohol in her, house and it's Not that's never been
- 1:11:35Speaker 13: the trigger for. Me the trigger for me was always
- 1:11:38Speaker 13: kind Of i'm on my, Own i'm free to do
- 1:11:40Speaker 13: WHATEVER i?
- 1:11:40Speaker 11: Want why not have three? Drinks and then that quickly becomes.
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: Eight, well congratulations nine years and we'll mark ten years
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: in one year's. TIME i can't wait for. That so
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: congratulations danie'nil joining, us DANGING. Aposti let's get To Randy,
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: johnson getting any that's why you're here this? Weekend what
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: Does Randy johnson?
- 1:11:59Speaker 11: Mean we're here for the spring. GAME i don't know about.
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: You oh your dark, baby oh dogs after? Dark, yeah oh.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Yeah and it won't even be dark because it's a
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: six thirty not.
- 1:12:12Speaker 11: Quite my, god it's gonna be a beautiful night down.
- 1:12:14Speaker 13: There Randy johnson is there are a few things that
- 1:12:20Speaker 13: are as for me evocative of nineteen Ninety seattle As Randy.
- 1:12:25Speaker 13: Johnson and maybe it's the long drapesing, mullet the glorious
- 1:12:29Speaker 13: mullet that he, had or kind of the connection To Queens, Reik,
- 1:12:32Speaker 13: like there's a very specific strain of Ninety seattle and
- 1:12:37Speaker 13: that kind of feeling That Randy johnson embodies to. Be
- 1:12:40Speaker 13: and he's just such a unique, picture just how he's,
- 1:12:43Speaker 13: built the slingshot motion that he, had what Mister snappy looked,
- 1:12:47Speaker 13: like the fact that.
- 1:12:48Speaker 11: He was kind of a. Grump like the fact that
- 1:12:50Speaker 11: he was kind.
- 1:12:50Speaker 13: Of kind of a not, unapologetic but he was a
- 1:12:54Speaker 13: little bit of a.
- 1:12:55Speaker 11: Grump he he was just such a fun picture to.
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: WATCH i think that we Had Rick rizon an hour
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: ago and he talked about the transformation Of Randy. Johnson
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: it was it came from a meeting With Nolan ryan
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: AND i just for, people just for, reference Here Randy
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: johnson's first full season in the big leagues nineteen eighty,
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: nine he had ninety six, walks ninety one and ninety.
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: Two he had one twenty one fifty two and one
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: fifty four that Led Major League. Baseball he had the
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: most walks In Major League baseball those three, years and
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: then something. Happened the transformation from this, wild, crazy long
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: haired six' ten mullet dude to what he ended up
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: is just one of the most remarkable stories. IN sports,
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: i mean he had the, natural talent but he. Found
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: it he dug down and he.
- 1:13:40Speaker 15: Found it he, certainly did and and he did just
- 1:13:45Speaker 15: there was there was an edge to his pitching that
- 1:13:48Speaker 15: we don't see it that much anymore from, strong pitchers.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: BUT it i.
- 1:13:53Speaker 11: Loved it if you ever Talked To.
- 1:13:54Speaker 13: Dave valley there's A year I'm not i'm not sure
- 1:13:58Speaker 13: off the top of, my HEAD but i believe it's
- 1:13:59Speaker 13: ninety two ninety Three Where dave valley got hit seventeen times,
- 1:14:03Speaker 13: by pitches was tied for the most in. The league
- 1:14:06Speaker 13: and the reason that happened Was Because dave Valley Was randy,
- 1:14:08Speaker 13: johnson's Catcher And randy johnson tended to plump people.
- 1:14:11Speaker 11: With it if he was going to, walk someone, he
- 1:14:13Speaker 11: might he.
- 1:14:14Speaker 13: Would occasionally speed the process along by having him, wear
- 1:14:17Speaker 13: One and valley in return would end. Up getting and
- 1:14:20Speaker 13: That what randy became and how he because that changed
- 1:14:24Speaker 13: later in his, career too like a more purposeful pitcher
- 1:14:28Speaker 13: and someone who was had incredible stuff but harnessed it
- 1:14:31Speaker 13: and just became one of the. Tremendous aces and his
- 1:14:34Speaker 13: teammates loved HIM like i will remember that when he
- 1:14:36Speaker 13: Won The world series With, the diamondbacks, And look i'm
- 1:14:40Speaker 13: not going to revisit the decision That the mariners made,
- 1:14:42Speaker 13: back then but when his teammates, loved him it was
- 1:14:45Speaker 13: between He encouraged shilling like the two of them were the.
- 1:14:48Speaker 13: Dominant pictures like his teammates were the Ones like randy's
- 1:14:51Speaker 13: teammates have always loved him.
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: Because of what you just, Said, TOO like, i mean
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: he just the way, he Competed like rick talked about
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: it when coming into the bullpen of, ninety five just
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: the way he wanted, the ball and, AND uh i
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: mean you LOOK at i mean some of the numbers
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: are just insane and trim and he's a three hundred
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: and three game winner that may never happen and basically
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: never we may see that because he was just such
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: an absolute thoroughbred out there and just competed at such
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: a high level that. Was amazing and the ONLY thing
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: i feel bad about is You Mentioned Dave Valley scott
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: bradley was the catcher for his. No hitter it wasn't
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: even poor val wasn't even the catcher. That night he
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: didn't going to. Enjoy, that vally where is all those pitches?
- 1:15:30Speaker 11: For him he?
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: Doesn't like how bad? Is that, it's, like no that can't,
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: be that. YOU know i just that that Pitch To
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: mike keith for the final strikeout in the ninth thing
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: At the kingdom On that saturday is one of the most.
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: Iconic PHOTOS and i don't know who the, YOU know,
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: i Mean We've seattle times had. Great photos i'm SURE
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: the pi. Everybody else one of the most iconic signature just,
- 1:15:51Speaker 1: you know Illustrations of. Seattle sports, you know raises his
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: arms to the Sky as Dave nee house belts out
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: and all, that stuff and he just it's it'll be
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: cool to see. Him recognize rick did talk about sometimes
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: the attitude, was there but then he said the next
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: couple of days to. Be fine but he was the
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: epitome of don't talk to me on the day, we
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: pitch because. That's it that's where his compete level was
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: and that's what probably what made.
- 1:16:11Speaker 13: Him, great yeah that and we TEND to i don't
- 1:16:15Speaker 13: know if we always recognize enough that some guys that's
- 1:16:18Speaker 13: that's the edge that, they need and the willingness to
- 1:16:21Speaker 13: do that is. Really Valuing like i'd rather be feared.
- 1:16:24Speaker 11: Than loved.
- 1:16:25Speaker 13: It's not what's important to me is the, result here
- 1:16:27Speaker 13: and for me to get into PLACE where i, Pitch
- 1:16:30Speaker 13: best i've got to have an edge. To ME and
- 1:16:32Speaker 13: i mean that feeling in, ninety five what it was
- 1:16:35Speaker 13: like in the one, game playoff what it was like
- 1:16:38Speaker 13: later when he came in to close out in, the
- 1:16:42Speaker 13: playoffs like those moments of having that bona fide number
- 1:16:47Speaker 13: one ace that was that season saved Baseball, in seattle
- 1:16:52Speaker 13: and he was the guy we knew we could count
- 1:16:54Speaker 13: on it when it mattered most.
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: For peoples just for context, with Transformation when seattle made
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: the trade in nineteen eighty nine With The montreal expos
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: because wait, for it they weren't going to be able
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: to afford To Keep, mark langston a pending, free agent
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: an all star, left hander so they sent him to
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: a team that this also went out of business years
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: later when they sent when they did that move in nineteen,
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: eighty nine It Was brian holman who was kind of the, focal,
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: point right he was. The guy he was the. Best
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: Player eugene harris was a kind Of a matt brash set,
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: up guy but he could close for you, as well
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: had some swing, and miss and he was a bulldog
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: in his. Own right and then a guy that was six'
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: ten when he, got traded here he was zero to
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: four with a six point six, y' seven er twenty
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: six walks in. Twenty nine innings that's, what they got, and.
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: You're Like, huh for langston what and then look what
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: he ends up being pretty remarkable trade when it was all.
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: Said AND done and, i mean again the irony is
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: that they that they couldn't, if they couldn't They, couldn't
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: keep mark and they End Up getting ready johnson when
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: it's all. Said and done so it is our good
- 1:18:05Speaker 1: friend daniel'. Neil joining, us all Right we're The Virginia
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: mas neflex center wrapping. Up the draft you wrote About
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: running back john shond likes himself, from running? Backs isn't?
- 1:18:11Speaker 13: He HE does and i kind of like the fact
- 1:18:15Speaker 13: of how much. HE LIKES them i i the idea
- 1:18:18Speaker 13: that he kind of has a signature thing that he
- 1:18:20Speaker 13: goes to that kind of drives the statisticians nuts or
- 1:18:24Speaker 13: the more.
- 1:18:24Speaker 11: ANALYTICALLY minded folks i do love how he.
- 1:18:28Speaker 13: Focuses On that and seattle's draft is it when you're
- 1:18:33Speaker 13: drafting In the position seattle, is currently in it's there's
- 1:18:37Speaker 13: not the same.
- 1:18:37Speaker 11: Pressure, on that draft but there are.
- 1:18:39Speaker 13: Some incredible OPPORTUNITIES and if i, Was gonna say john
- 1:18:43Speaker 13: loves drafting, running backs high but the ONE position that
- 1:18:46Speaker 13: i think he most consistently hits at are those corners
- 1:18:49Speaker 13: and and and, to, some respect safeties but the defensive
- 1:18:52Speaker 13: backs that he finds in the middle rounds of the
- 1:18:54Speaker 13: draft are can be franchise.
- 1:18:57Speaker 11: Changing type players we've.
- 1:18:58Speaker 13: Certainly seen that i'm excited about this group and to
- 1:19:01Speaker 13: see where it fits into the framework that they've always
- 1:19:04Speaker 13: put together because they don't have a, lot OF holes
- 1:19:06Speaker 13: but i think that they've got a lot of players
- 1:19:08Speaker 13: that could push to get.
- 1:19:09Speaker 11: Into The, rotation.

- 1:21:48Speaker 1: second THAT'S an INTERESTING i guess i might ask. You
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: About that John schneider and mike McDonald go out of
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: their way to say it's not a fifty. Three man
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: roster it's a. Seventy man roster they and that's at
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: least what they say publicly to all of us, in
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: the media say it's it's seventy it's a. Seventy man
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: roster do they inside that locker room, inside the building
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: whether you're fifty three man or active or even active
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: on game day or part of, the practice squad did
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: they make, you, feel, that hey yes it is a.
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: Seventy man, roster.
- 1:22:17Speaker 7: Of course not even, just you, know the coaches, also the,
- 1:22:19Speaker 7: Players YOU know and i feel like if, you're not,

- 1:22:32Speaker 7: may not see and, just you know giving. Them feedback
- 1:22:34Speaker 7: also so it's really it's definitely a.
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: Seven man roster the when you said you and that's
- 1:22:40Speaker 1: probably fun thing is you get TO go against, I
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: Don't know devin witherspoon, probably every day. Every day night. It's.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: Actually fun man what what receiver did you most enjoy kind,
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: of you know playing the part.
- 1:22:51Speaker 7: Of last year it's a Couple of receiver I'll Definitely,
- 1:22:54Speaker 7: Say Justin Jefferson demontanam's Pooka, Nicole Uh. Mouka josh downs you,
- 1:23:03Speaker 7: know those guys uh you know the guys that you
- 1:23:06Speaker 7: know that we've seen last year that they, considered you know.
- 1:23:08Speaker 7: They receive one so it was fun to, go out,
- 1:23:10Speaker 7: there YOU know, like i said get those. Guys, the,
- 1:23:12Speaker 7: best look man what.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: Goes, Into, that ricky like do you have to sit
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: there like are you watching more tape of another team
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: almost like a defensive player to kind of learn what these? Guys? Straights? Are,
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: LOOK key, YEAH i.
- 1:23:22Speaker 7: Am i am i'm paying, attention to, detail you know small,
- 1:23:26Speaker 7: traits you know and really how concepts, and you know
- 1:23:30Speaker 7: we're just receiving my lineup on. This certain route just,
- 1:23:33Speaker 7: so you know when they get, in the game they
- 1:23:35Speaker 7: know when the receiver line, up inside edge he's. Going
- 1:23:37Speaker 7: inside route when he's outside, of the numbers he might
- 1:23:40Speaker 7: do a double move, or you no little small, Things
- 1:23:42Speaker 7: LIKE that and i feel like that gave us the
- 1:23:44Speaker 7: advantage to to go out there and win and have
- 1:23:47Speaker 7: the best. Performance On defense.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: Ricky white the third with me Here At The Virginia
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: bateson athletic sceneri and fronounced with. YOU this afternoon. I
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: mentioned it so you're going against The Dude, and devin
- 1:23:56Speaker 1: witherspoon who is one of the best. In the business
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: i'm assuming you wind up against him. All the time what?
- 1:24:02Speaker 8: Was that like.
- 1:24:03Speaker 7: It was fun spoon is a guy. That, brings energy
- 1:24:07Speaker 7: man it's not even just more really. OUR whole defense
- 1:24:10Speaker 7: i get those guys. Props. Every day man they do the.
- 1:24:13Speaker 7: Same for me but you know those guys, are, They're

- 1:24:26Speaker 7: gonna make sure you know you on top. Of your,
- 1:24:28Speaker 7: things you know giving the, best LOOK because, like i said,

- 1:24:53Speaker 7: gotta have, that dog, mentality THAT heart and i feel
- 1:24:56Speaker 7: like he showed that every day.
- 1:24:59Speaker 6: Here with.

- 1:25:10Speaker 1: A lot more there's. No fans here it's it's, a
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: Little quieter, And, I'm like man spoon's a funny guy
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: because you put him on the podium and if he's
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: doing this or if you're, just sitting here he's gonna
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: be very quiet, and you know very succinct answers. And
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: all this you put a helmet on him and put
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: them between the lines and he's going and ilated that's
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: just what football brings out. Of the, people you know

- 1:32:07Speaker 12: CAREER as a d one college soccer player has anything
- 1:32:10Speaker 12: to do anything CLOSE to, An nfl player but it
- 1:32:13Speaker 12: did REMIND me of I. Played for seattle you we
- 1:32:16Speaker 12: were a top twenty five team at that point In the,
- 1:32:18Speaker 12: in DIVISION one and i was a very. FRINGE roster
- 1:32:20Speaker 12: player i didn't. PLAY very much i, was kind, of
- 1:32:22Speaker 12: you know always, on the bench that. Kind of thing
- 1:32:24Speaker 12: and we would host open tryouts for a lot of
- 1:32:27Speaker 12: kids to come out that have been like always really,
- 1:32:29Speaker 12: good players obviously and my coach would, always tell me
- 1:32:33Speaker 12: because you let kind of the fringe players play in
- 1:32:35Speaker 12: these open tryouts, against these, kids, be like hey you
- 1:32:37Speaker 12: better be like the best, kid, out here right and
- 1:32:40Speaker 12: so it kind of it kind of reminded me of
- 1:32:41Speaker 12: that similar SITUATION were you i LIKE to Think i
- 1:32:45Speaker 12: was i'm not gonna toot, my own horn, but you
- 1:32:47Speaker 12: know there WAS a reason i was on the team,
- 1:32:49Speaker 12: and they, weren't you know and there WAS a reason,
- 1:32:52Speaker 12: i wasn't starting and the People that were alex rolled
- 1:32:54Speaker 12: on and a lot of others were was.
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: At, THAT point yeah i think it. Was, pretty GOOD
- 1:32:58Speaker 3: yeah well.
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: I think it i think it's a good comparison, because
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: you know, when you're Listen, especially in SEATTLE and it's
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: i think you can even make that comparison here when
- 1:33:08Speaker 1: you get high school kids, that, are playing like we
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: have really good soccer. In, this area yes like we
- 1:33:13Speaker 1: have really really. HIGH end soccer i follow A thing
- 1:33:16Speaker 1: on facebook and IT'S the old nasl stuff, and you know.
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: And it's amazing i'll see guys cross there all the
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: time that came out, of our, area YOU know that
- 1:33:25Speaker 1: i PLAYED against and i wasn't even fringe guy. FOR
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: tryout guy i, was just like but like We had
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: such we've always from really from the early seventies, until
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: present day we've had. Great soccer here so if you know,
- 1:33:37Speaker 1: a high level a good high school soccer player in
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: this area is going to look he can play for
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Across. The country Yeah so when
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: i'm sure that the guys you were trying out against,
- 1:33:47Speaker 1: we were good and you have a guy's, coming in
- 1:33:50Speaker 1: here every one. Of these dudes i'm looking at some
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: of these guys today that like even just some of,
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: the offensive alignment you know that that are. Just like invites,
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: and you know you Guys, are, From, Oklahoma, Right Hawaii
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: houston eastern michigan which is, A Max, School. Iowa state
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: kansas these are just these are these are guys that
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: are just, Try, Out, Guys Kansas, iowa Oregon state, Another Kansas.
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: Player michigan state never heard, of this Guy He's. From
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: michigan state these these are. All good players So You
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: watch ricky white the third and kind of stand out
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: a little bit, like you're right he should like he.
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: SHOULD stand out i thought it. WAS interesting too i
- 1:34:32Speaker 1: don't even know how much there's like, like you, could
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: barring injury you can kind of Put in with sharpie
- 1:34:37Speaker 1: the five receivers Right, Now for seattle like you can
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: you can put that in. With a sharpie so there's
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: not a lot, of room there a lot of. Legal
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: room there, but you know, like he SAID that's why
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: i was, Kind, of curious like you you're here, For
- 1:34:48Speaker 1: a year You're Going, Against Devin, Witherspoon, Josh Joe, Bariq
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: Wollen tyokatta kobe bryant, Every single day like. You're, getting
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: better yeah because if you're if you're a practice squad
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: guy and you're in his situation, one hundred percent you're on. The,
- 1:35:03Speaker 1: scout team yeah and if, you're doing that, you're getting
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: better like you are. Going to be, SO he like
- 1:35:10Speaker 1: i thought. It, Was good yeah i'm way better than
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: it was last year all.
- 1:35:12Speaker 12: The way around as someone who's been in, that role
- 1:35:14Speaker 12: before it takes a lot mentally to know that you're
- 1:35:17Speaker 12: not going to necessarily personally contribute directly to wins and
- 1:35:22Speaker 12: losses for being. On the field but, like you said
- 1:35:24Speaker 12: that plays a role for. All those guys it makes
- 1:35:26Speaker 12: them better as well if you compete against.
- 1:35:28Speaker 3: Guys.
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: Like, that YEAH well and i THINK and WHAT i
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: what i, ASKED him too i thought was Important about
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: because we hear this, all, the time right and, you always,
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: wonder you know how how. True it is but he
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: talks about he talked about the, seventy man roster because
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: You always hear schneider, And, McDonald referencing right it's a,
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: seventy man roster. Seven man roster it is one hundred
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: percent is a. Seven man roster but is it really
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: a seventy man roster or is it? Fifty three men
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: and then you have these other guys that are just
- 1:35:56Speaker 1: kind of there as, Practice squad guys and it does
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: sound like, it's, very INCLUSIVE absolutely which, i love, HEARING
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: you KNOW i just i love hearing that from from
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: a guy like that and hearing how.
- 1:36:06Speaker 12: Good they are and we've heard always compete From guys,
- 1:36:08Speaker 12: like pete before but it's a different, VERSION of that
- 1:36:11Speaker 12: i feel like now, where, it's like, hey you. Know
- 1:36:14Speaker 12: it's cutthroat if you're gonna be, the best player we
- 1:36:16Speaker 12: don't care, who you, Are, tayakatta whatever right you can
- 1:36:19Speaker 12: step in and play for us and be.
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: An IMPORTANT piece so i do kind of.
- 1:36:23Speaker 12: Like that aspect tylecott is, a great, example, Great example
- 1:36:26Speaker 12: right and that dude is that.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: Dude is that dude's end UP gonna be i MEAN may,

- 1:36:38Speaker 1: cut by a couple teams, along the way right and.

- 1:41:13Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta kind of recap what. Happened draft
- 1:41:16Speaker 1: wise you are a guy leading into the Draft, starting
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: in september and we go all the Way Up until
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: draft day and, here we. Are it's over seahawks end.
- 1:41:23Speaker 5: Up.
- 1:41:23Speaker 1: With eight drafting, first of all let me just Ask
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: how impressed you've watched all Seventeen Of the. John schneider
- 1:41:29Speaker 1: drafts you've, been out there you AND hughmell and i
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: on are, seven to, nine you Know stints On. Thursdays
- 1:41:33Speaker 1: and fridays we've been intimately watching this scene and. Covering
- 1:41:36Speaker 1: every draft how surprised Were You that john schneider was
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: able to pull off, what he did end up going
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: from four to eight while retaining his. First two, Picks.
- 1:41:46Speaker 8: You know, i'm Not surprised but. I'm very, IMPRESSED you
- 1:41:50Speaker 8: know i Thought That that john scheinder just did. What he,
- 1:41:54Speaker 8: does you know there's a he's got kind of a
- 1:41:57Speaker 8: nickname among some of the other scouts and you know
- 1:42:00Speaker 8: general managers Out There, as trader john and he just.
- 1:42:04Speaker 8: WORKED his, magic i mean he came in and it
- 1:42:07Speaker 8: looked like it was he And head Coach mike, McGall
- 1:42:10Speaker 8: of course we're looking a little bit disappointed in terms,
- 1:42:13Speaker 8: OF you know i think they really loved the fact
- 1:42:16Speaker 8: That they Got. Jadari on price they're running back at number,
- 1:42:19Speaker 8: thirty TWO overall but i think if they were hoping
- 1:42:21Speaker 8: that they might be able to pull some type of
- 1:42:22Speaker 8: a small trade down to be able to acquire, some
- 1:42:26Speaker 8: more selections when that evaporated right and, before THEIR eyes
- 1:42:30Speaker 8: then i thought that they pivoted beautifully to be able
- 1:42:32Speaker 8: to double the number of draft picks, that they had
- 1:42:35Speaker 8: still be able to feel all their biggest, positions of,
- 1:42:37Speaker 8: concern you know and yet still not give up too
- 1:42:41Speaker 8: many of their assets for. Twenty TWENTY seven so i
- 1:42:43Speaker 8: really thought that they did a remarkable job of basically
- 1:42:47Speaker 8: kind of winning a draft that they were not in a.
- 1:42:50Speaker 9: Position, TO win yeah i.
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: THOUGHT so too i thought it. Was really impressive, And You.
- 1:42:54Speaker 1: Know jadarian price Going, back to thursday we talked ABOUT
- 1:42:57Speaker 1: you and I and and hugh right that, night went well,
- 1:42:59Speaker 1: this is interesting like he's not like, they're not happy
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: and it's not. Because the player they just didn't, they
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: Weren't happy and john said they, couldn't trade out but
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: they did, get the player and we weren't the only ones.
- 1:43:08Speaker 1: That said that we talked to other media. MEMBERS that
- 1:43:10Speaker 1: day i think everyone kind of Felt that and john,
- 1:43:12Speaker 1: himself saying it but They Do. Get jadarian price so
- 1:43:14Speaker 1: let's just kind of revisit that he had his introductory News.
- 1:43:16Speaker 1: Conference on thursday just an. Impressive young man i'll tell.
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: You right, now you know you Sit next to mike
- 1:43:22Speaker 1: McDonald and you look like you're the. More BUFFED individual
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: and i know he's, a football player, but my god
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: like that guy HAS not. Missed arm day there's no.
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: DOUBT about that i think people all kinds of people
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: are commenting on that we get a chance to watch
- 1:43:33Speaker 1: him on. The field earlier. Impressive young man So Let's
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: Go Jadarian. Price notre dame now that it's all, Said
- 1:43:38Speaker 1: And done, Rob, RAANS thoughts.
- 1:43:41Speaker 8: Yeah i just. LOVE the selection i Mean that's what
- 1:43:42Speaker 8: i've been kind of pounding the table for it for
- 1:43:44Speaker 8: the last couple of weeks, or months here just saying
- 1:43:47Speaker 8: that that he would be an Ideal fit. In seattle,
- 1:43:49Speaker 8: system you know he's he's very experienced in a, wide
- 1:43:53Speaker 8: zone offense and it's. Just his instincts he's got just a.
- 1:43:56Speaker 8: SMOOTHNESS to him i used the comparison the Moments after
- 1:44:00Speaker 8: the seahawks selected Him to The Hall Of, famer terrell
- 1:44:02Speaker 8: davis And That got, hugh millon's, attention you know just
- 1:44:06Speaker 8: because of course he played with him and has a
- 1:44:07Speaker 8: great respect for running back that's Now. Enshrined in canton
- 1:44:12Speaker 8: but that's the KIND of, player i see not one he.
- 1:44:14Speaker 8: Necessarily wows you in terms of the. Forty Yard dashtime
- 1:44:17Speaker 8: jadarian price is four point four to nine second forty
- 1:44:20Speaker 8: yard dash, time is solid but. It's not elites, but
- 1:44:24Speaker 8: my goodness he plays fast and he is one of the,
- 1:44:26Speaker 8: most explosive backs not only in this draft class but
- 1:44:30Speaker 8: really in recent memory as far as guys who really
- 1:44:33Speaker 8: Fit in, WITH seattle's system i think he's going to
- 1:44:35Speaker 8: be an ABSOLUTE star in I think he's rb. One
- 1:44:38Speaker 8: right now with all Due Respect to George Hallani, and
- 1:44:42Speaker 8: emmanuel wilson and obviously the injured But Very talented zach Sharbone, came, at.
- 1:44:47Speaker 8: TOOSH etcetera etcetera I Just think jaron price is a
- 1:44:50Speaker 8: different level than all. THOSE other backs i think that
- 1:44:52Speaker 8: he is a Real Candidate for offensive Rookie of the
- 1:44:55Speaker 8: year honors. This upcoming season considering how good or fit
- 1:44:58Speaker 8: he is, in their offense and how much talent is
- 1:45:01Speaker 8: around Him.
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: On the, seahawks all right we'll just move on.
- 1:45:04Speaker 1: Down The, list bud CLARK safety from tcu is, the
- 1:45:07Speaker 1: second pick. Sixty fourth overall.
- 1:45:09Speaker 8: I'm going to sound like such a, homer, right NOW
- 1:45:11Speaker 8: buddy because i also really love The Selection. OF bud
- 1:45:15Speaker 8: clark i just think that his ball skills are one
- 1:45:17Speaker 8: of the things that make him such a perfect Fit,
- 1:45:20Speaker 8: for the Seahawks Similar, to jadarim PRICE and that i
- 1:45:24Speaker 8: think he's just betting put into a. Very advantageous, SITUATION
- 1:45:29Speaker 8: you know i don't know if, you know This but
- 1:45:30Speaker 8: the seahawks defense is. Pretty darn good.
- 1:45:34Speaker 3: I'VE heard that i.
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: Have, HEARD that yeah i. Have heard.
- 1:45:36Speaker 8: THAT yeah, exactly i mean you put a guy that has,
- 1:45:40Speaker 8: fifteen career, interceptions and frankly he should have had a lot.
- 1:45:44Speaker 8: More than that, there are, times you know where he
- 1:45:46Speaker 8: goes up and skies for the football and almost like
- 1:45:49Speaker 8: a volleyball player looking to spike the ball rather than.
- 1:45:52Speaker 8: ACTUALLY catch it I Think that Carl Scott and adam
- 1:45:56Speaker 8: derdey are going to do a great job of kind
- 1:45:58Speaker 8: of Just Tinkering with bud clark's technique a little bit
- 1:46:03Speaker 8: to reel in some of. Those interception opportunities but in terms,
- 1:46:07Speaker 8: of his speed in terms, of his agility his, hand eye,
- 1:46:10Speaker 8: coordination his confidence he locates the ball really really well.
- 1:46:15Speaker 8: For his safety he's almost built like a corner and
- 1:46:18Speaker 8: that's one. OF the things i think that he has
- 1:46:20Speaker 8: the versatility to be able to play a deep safety
- 1:46:23Speaker 8: as well as drop Down and give seattle some different
- 1:46:26Speaker 8: looks and man demand opportunities as. A nickel cornerback Very
- 1:46:31Speaker 8: Similar to kobe bryant, in the past, but a longer
- 1:46:34Speaker 8: leaner kind, of A player and i think he has even.
- 1:46:37Speaker 8: Better ball, SKILLS so again I think that seattle actually
- 1:46:40Speaker 8: is kind of coming out Of The smell mike roses.
- 1:46:42Speaker 8: A little Bit They lost can't walker The Third and
- 1:46:44Speaker 8: kobe bryant, is free, agency OF course but i think
- 1:46:47Speaker 8: that they might actually have upgraded.
- 1:46:48Speaker 1: In this draft we'll see if we keep. The ball
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: rolling Let's Talk, about julian neal the Third, pick for
- 1:46:54Speaker 1: seattle ninety ninth overall. Third Round guy and i'll be
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: honest with, you this ONE this one i like just
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: because the post draft presser or the media availability he.
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: Did with us he calls in on, the speaker phone
- 1:47:06Speaker 1: and the guy was just, filled with confidence all. Kinds
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: of confidence he asked me about, going one, on you
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: know play a man, and all this and he's to
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: a'll be up. In your face guy really came in.
- 1:47:15Speaker 1: With some swagger what do You Think. OF julian neil,
- 1:47:18Speaker 1: i also, love.
- 1:47:20Speaker 8: You know the post. DRAFT press, conference i mean there
- 1:47:22Speaker 8: is very Few players that i've ever heard that had
- 1:47:25Speaker 8: his type of confidence AND just bravado u and you
- 1:47:28Speaker 8: love the physicality of. WHICH he, plays i mean It's Funny,
- 1:47:32Speaker 8: with bud clark the safety we, just talked about he's
- 1:47:35Speaker 8: built more. Like a corner, julian neal is at six foot,
- 1:47:39Speaker 8: two hundred pounds is built a little bit more like
- 1:47:41Speaker 8: a safety and certainly hits. Like a safety he uses
- 1:47:46Speaker 8: his long arms to kind of corral receivers at the
- 1:47:49Speaker 8: line of scrimmage and kind of control where. They're gonna
- 1:47:52Speaker 8: go he wants to play press man and and, really kind,
- 1:47:56Speaker 8: of you know dictate where the receivers. Are GONNA go
- 1:47:59Speaker 8: h i do have some concerns about how he'll be
- 1:48:02Speaker 8: able to handle to some, of the, smaller quicker receivers but,
- 1:48:05Speaker 8: let's Face it the seahawks the most the most important
- 1:48:10Speaker 8: receivers that they're going to have to track down are
- 1:48:12Speaker 8: going to Be The new san Francisco forty Nine Ers,
- 1:48:14Speaker 8: receiver mike evins obviously, a big Guy And then Pooka
- 1:48:17Speaker 8: Naku and devonte adams of Course For The. Los ANGELES
- 1:48:20Speaker 8: rams and I Think that julian neil's physicality and confidence
- 1:48:24Speaker 8: makes him very well suited to handle those.
- 1:48:26Speaker 1: Types Of, responsibilities rob ryant brought To You by ferrelli's.
- 1:48:29Speaker 1: Frelispizza dot, com all right so We're sitting there saturday
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: Morning At The Virginia mason Athletics center where i'm, at
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: right now And we're in we're in the room upstairs
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: and it's just you and me and just. A few
- 1:48:40Speaker 1: media wasn't even a lot real. Crowded up there and
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: nine point fifteen or so, In The morning john schneider,
- 1:48:45Speaker 1: comes walking through, starts greeting us, kind, Of, joke right
- 1:48:48Speaker 1: hey you guys laughing. On the road. Yes we, Are
- 1:48:49Speaker 1: oh hey i'm going, to walk out, and walks away
- 1:48:51Speaker 1: and he's just kind. Of killing. Time, We're taking well
- 1:48:54Speaker 1: seale's got. One pick today it would be the, sixth
- 1:48:56Speaker 1: round pick and that. Would BE it and i think
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: or did they had they added the fifth, at that
- 1:49:01Speaker 1: point they might, have added one, but, we're like oh
- 1:49:05Speaker 1: they actually that point they only, had, the one right
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: they only had the, sixth round pick and they were
- 1:49:08Speaker 1: kind of waiting to. See what happens you mentioned time
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: and time again during the draft that they had all
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: this draft, equity next year. TWELVE draft picks i think
- 1:49:16Speaker 1: it was heading into twenty twenty seven and with the
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: compensatory and, all that stuff, eleven or twelve and they.
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: Weren't at all those guys aren't going to, make the
- 1:49:23Speaker 1: team so maybe they would use a pick, lo and
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: behold they do something that's kind. Of Unheard of rob
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: they trade a fourth round pick for a fifth round,
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: pick straight up and with that fifth round pick They.
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: Take both stevens so it's obviously a guy that they Like.
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: And all american we had him on the show older This.
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: Week from iowa we all know, this with. Him the,
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: guy you know, he's a mauler but he does have some,
- 1:49:47Speaker 1: issues testing wise wasn't the most, fleet of foot, small
- 1:49:50Speaker 1: shorter arms small hands. And all that so What about
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: both stevens in the fifth, round for effectively what's a. Fourth,
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: round pick.
- 1:49:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:49:58Speaker 8: That's the thing, and it's, like you know when you're.
- 1:50:00Speaker 8: EVALUATING offensive, LINEMEN i mean i don't know how many
- 1:50:04Speaker 8: listeners and thank you all to who are, LISTENING right
- 1:50:07Speaker 8: now i don't know how much listens there about forty
- 1:50:11Speaker 8: yard dash times or even ten yards split times when
- 1:50:13Speaker 8: it comes. To offensive LINEMAN and so i think Frankly
- 1:50:16Speaker 8: that the seahawks don't care so much. ABOUT that either
- 1:50:19Speaker 8: i think that, it is important it's part, of the
- 1:50:21Speaker 8: process but it's Obviously something that seattle was willing to
- 1:50:26Speaker 8: Overlook because both stevens did not have a great workout.
- 1:50:31Speaker 8: At the combine, but my goodness. He plays fast it's
- 1:50:34Speaker 8: kind of similar to The Running. Backer darian price he's such.
- 1:50:38Speaker 8: An efficient mover he knows where he is going when
- 1:50:42Speaker 8: he blocks at. The second level, he knows where he
- 1:50:44Speaker 8: anticipates where linebackers are trying, to get to and he gets.
- 1:50:47Speaker 8: There very, effectively he's, got you know one of your,
- 1:50:50Speaker 8: favorite scouting expressions, those heavy hands and he gets them
- 1:50:53Speaker 8: onlinebackers and moves them. Around at will and so he
- 1:50:59Speaker 8: plays rather than running, fast in workouts and that's really what.
- 1:51:03Speaker 8: You're looking for he didn't allow a sack for the
- 1:51:06Speaker 8: last three years running in he has starting experience about
- 1:51:09Speaker 8: the left and. Right guard positions that's where he played
- 1:51:12Speaker 8: the last Two years for iowa for an offensive line
- 1:51:16Speaker 8: That Was The joe moore award winner as the best
- 1:51:18Speaker 8: offensive line in all. OF college football i just think
- 1:51:21Speaker 8: that he is a plug and play kind. Of a
- 1:51:23Speaker 8: candidate seattle feels like, they need, him you know they
- 1:51:26Speaker 8: Of Course have anthony bradford that. RIGHT guard position i
- 1:51:29Speaker 8: think if they are Very confident In bryce cable dow behind,
- 1:51:32Speaker 8: him as well But Also with anthony bradford entering the
- 1:51:36Speaker 8: final year of his rookie concept and maybe not the
- 1:51:39Speaker 8: most likely guy to come to, BE re signed i
- 1:51:42Speaker 8: think that this is just a very much a, move
- 1:51:43Speaker 8: for now but also an investment. In The, future all
- 1:51:46Speaker 8: right so We.
- 1:51:47Speaker 1: Like both stevens we'll check that out AFTER you and
- 1:51:50Speaker 1: i signed OFF. On the aar guys THAT you and
- 1:51:52Speaker 1: i haven't REALLY talked about i had a chance to,
- 1:51:53Speaker 1: Talk about yet Let's Go Through, emmanuel henderson junior the
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: wide receiver slash special teams Player out of kansas sixth.
- 1:51:59Speaker 8: Round pick overall it's funny, because you know he played
- 1:52:03Speaker 8: finished up his College. Career at, kansas and again a
- 1:52:06Speaker 8: lot of our listeners may not really know Much About,
- 1:52:09Speaker 8: the KANSAS jayhawks but i can tell you this is
- 1:52:11Speaker 8: a four Star. Recruit at alabama he certainly entered the
- 1:52:15Speaker 8: college football situation as a. Very prized commodity he was
- 1:52:21Speaker 8: a running back originally and moved to the transition to.
- 1:52:24Speaker 8: Wide receiver here so he is still a little, bit
- 1:52:27Speaker 8: raw sproutrunner but he has a legitimate deep speed four
- 1:52:31Speaker 8: to three guy and also an incredible. Special teams Player
- 1:52:36Speaker 8: he led kansas in tackles. On punk Coverages he led
- 1:52:40Speaker 8: kansas and tackles. On kick coverages he also returned to
- 1:52:44Speaker 8: kick for a. Touchdown AS well so i just think
- 1:52:46Speaker 8: of this as a player that reminds me a Lot
- 1:52:50Speaker 8: of what seattle Looked For. In drek young he's not,
- 1:52:52Speaker 8: quite as tall but he's just as fast and has
- 1:52:55Speaker 8: just as much upside, in my opinion as far as
- 1:52:57Speaker 8: being a vertical threat on offense and special teams. Demon as, well.
- 1:53:01Speaker 1: All Right uh andre fuller Cornerback out of toledo's seventh three.
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: Seventh round picks he was the first of three in the,
- 1:53:07Speaker 1: seventh round two. Thirty, Sixth overall yeah andre full.
- 1:53:11Speaker 8: WAS interesting, PLAYER i FRANKLY i was i was thinking
- 1:53:13Speaker 8: he was going to go, in the morning like the
- 1:53:14Speaker 8: fifth to a minimum.
- 1:53:16Speaker 12: The.
- 1:53:17Speaker 8: Sixth round uh he really stood out Not, only at
- 1:53:19Speaker 8: toledo but earlier In His Career arkansas pine bluff had
- 1:53:22Speaker 8: a splashing Performance At The East west shrine. Bowl as
- 1:53:25Speaker 8: well he plays at the physical speed that that seatle requires.
- 1:53:29Speaker 8: THE quarter position, i think, that you know a lot
- 1:53:32Speaker 8: of times seventh rounders kind of guys that you know
- 1:53:34Speaker 8: a little. Bit more cool we talked about just a
- 1:53:36Speaker 8: Moment Ago, with emmanuel henderson the he's a little.
- 1:53:38Speaker 9: Bit more of a.
- 1:53:39Speaker 8: Ambal On, traits andre fuller to me is just A
- 1:53:43Speaker 8: quality player i could, see, making roster, uh you know
- 1:53:47Speaker 8: just making it a roster and at minimum certainly being
- 1:53:50Speaker 8: a quality practice squad kind. Of a, guy and frankly
- 1:53:53Speaker 8: that's one of THE reasons why I Think the sea
- 1:53:54Speaker 8: how wanted to fire these three. Seventh round selections we
- 1:53:57Speaker 8: Know that the seahawks have had such great success in,
- 1:54:00Speaker 8: rafted free agency they weren't going to have that type
- 1:54:03Speaker 8: of Success As the. Super bowl champions agents out there
- 1:54:06Speaker 8: know that play there's gonna can be very many, Roster spots, available,
- 1:54:10Speaker 8: SO like yeah i think this is one of the
- 1:54:11Speaker 8: Geniuses here of schneider is that he recognized that and
- 1:54:14Speaker 8: so wanted to acquire some selections so that way they
- 1:54:16Speaker 8: could assure that they got some of the, players they
- 1:54:19Speaker 8: wanted rather than if they fell through the draft and
- 1:54:22Speaker 8: hope they were able to sign them as. Undrafted, FREE agents.
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: Yeah i think that's we, spoke about That you AND
- 1:54:27Speaker 1: hugh and i and others on, Our draft coverage Corbin
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: and Obviously greg Bell Uh and chuck i'm sure touching.
- 1:54:34Speaker 1: On as well like normally at the end of the
- 1:54:36Speaker 1: Draft on A saturday, on day three we're kind of
- 1:54:39Speaker 1: hanging around and they're gonna, put you know we're gonna
- 1:54:41Speaker 1: find out all the names of ten eleven guys and
- 1:54:43Speaker 1: it's a grind. For them there but that's like a
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: really important part of the Process. WITH with, schneider i
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: MEAN they've had i think it's close to forty guys
- 1:54:49Speaker 1: have made an impact with this team as undrafted free
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: agents since they started the process. Seventeen years ago but,
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: like you said guys aren't gonna want to come in
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: where the, roster is basically you can. Look at it
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: there's not a lot of open competition, for roster spots
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: assuming incumbents play up to the same level they. Did
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: last year so you got to go, find these guys
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: and you got to draft from the seventh round one. Of,
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: those guys boy you always like. A Big body devin
- 1:55:10Speaker 1: eastern is a nose Tackle. Out of minnesota he is
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: as big. AS a house i guess the first thing
- 1:55:16Speaker 1: is LIKE, in today's nfl you would think teams would
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: want a guy like that size to plug and play.
- 1:55:20Speaker 1: In the middle but what kept him and what put
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: him down to. A seventh rounder i think just a
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: lack of true.
- 1:55:27Speaker 8: PASS rush skills i think that he had Wound up
- 1:55:29Speaker 8: leaving minnesota with believe five total sacks over his. Entire
- 1:55:35Speaker 8: college career but he can, stuff the run he can
- 1:55:37Speaker 8: play up and down the, line of scrimmage and he's
- 1:55:40Speaker 8: been a. True iron man he started every game in
- 1:55:42Speaker 8: the last. Three years running also Compete At, the, senior
- 1:55:46Speaker 8: bowl which of course We know the seahawks have quite
- 1:55:48Speaker 8: the track record of Prospects going to mobile and. Playing well.
- 1:55:53Speaker 8: THERE it's funny i think that he can play that.
- 1:55:56Speaker 8: Nose guard position and that has been A position where
- 1:55:58Speaker 8: seals has wrote he had. SEVERAL different players i also
- 1:56:01Speaker 8: think he, Can play outside, so to me the comparison
- 1:56:04Speaker 8: isn't So Much a brandon peeley is AS much as
- 1:56:08Speaker 8: i think it could be more Of Like. A mike morris,
- 1:56:10Speaker 8: a guy again it can kind of play up and
- 1:56:12Speaker 8: Down the entire lion. Scrimmage For you so I'm Intrigued.
- 1:56:16Speaker 8: BY devin easter i don't know, that HE'S flashy but
- 1:56:19Speaker 8: i think that he is the kind of guy that
- 1:56:20Speaker 8: you can build around a little bit and have him
- 1:56:23Speaker 8: be part of the. Defensive Line rotation.
- 1:56:25Speaker 1: Rob, Ryan, With This okay michael Dansby cornerback at arizona
- 1:56:28Speaker 1: looks like kind, of a burner but very late pick in.
- 1:56:30Speaker 8: The.
- 1:56:30Speaker 3: Seventh, round yeah again this is the.
- 1:56:33Speaker 8: Gamble on trades arizona a lot of four defensive back,
- 1:56:37Speaker 8: selected This year and dansby is the one that was
- 1:56:41Speaker 8: kind of. UNDER the radar i mean he Was not
- 1:56:43Speaker 8: in Bye into the combine claims that he ran in,
- 1:56:46Speaker 8: the four twos but he did not work Out at
- 1:56:48Speaker 8: the pro he. Had suffered, abdominally so again Kudos to
- 1:56:52Speaker 8: the seahawks for really digging deep, on a player, BUT
- 1:56:55Speaker 8: you know i started watching some of his table let's,
- 1:56:57Speaker 8: he was selected and he had. Some splashy moments in
- 1:57:01Speaker 8: his final Game With the arizona wildcats was. A bold
- 1:57:05Speaker 8: game he had a couple, of pass breakups he had
- 1:57:07Speaker 8: an interception, in that game and just really showed off some.
- 1:57:10Speaker 8: Dynamic athletic ability also turns and locates the ball well
- 1:57:14Speaker 8: as a. VERY confident corner i think his straight line
- 1:57:18Speaker 8: speed and his ability, as a, tackler to me. Is
- 1:57:21Speaker 8: really intriguing another player that when you, watch the tape
- 1:57:24Speaker 8: you understand why the Other the other arizona defensive backs
- 1:57:28Speaker 8: went earlier because they're in some cases bigger and also have.
- 1:57:31Speaker 8: Straight LINE speed but i think that he kind of
- 1:57:33Speaker 8: felt cracks for a. LOT of teams i think that
- 1:57:36Speaker 8: this is Another player THAT sea how i think was
- 1:57:38Speaker 8: anticipating that they might be in a game as an,
- 1:57:40Speaker 8: undrafted free agent but when they realized that that wasn't
- 1:57:43Speaker 8: likely to, be the case, just you know just make
- 1:57:46Speaker 8: that selection to make this type of athletic ability and
- 1:57:50Speaker 8: upside and hunger because he played with a with a
- 1:57:54Speaker 8: great deal of confidence and a great deal of, you.
- 1:57:56Speaker 8: KNOW again hunger i think that you want these the
- 1:57:59Speaker 8: kind of player that you want to have. On your
- 1:58:00Speaker 8: squad seattle walked into this drafting and with only five quarterbacks,
- 1:58:05Speaker 8: on the roster that's less than any other team in ALL.
- 1:58:07Speaker 8: Of the nfl they wound up selecting, three of them
- 1:58:10Speaker 8: as well as a safety you might be able to
- 1:58:11Speaker 8: play quarner In The. Aforementioned bud clark they just completely
- 1:58:15Speaker 8: retooled a secondary that was arguably one of the biggest
- 1:58:18Speaker 8: strengths Of Last year's. Super bowl run end.
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: Of the day the thing that jumps out at us
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: is they didn't get. An edge rusher and Now Maybe
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: the dante fowler thing happens and that maybe that. Was
- 1:58:28Speaker 1: the plan maybe at some point we're going to find
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: out Very Soon that dante fowler Is, signed by seattle
- 1:58:33Speaker 1: and then that makes sense why they didn't draft. An
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: edge rusher but they didn't draft, an edge? Rusher did
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: they i'll, just say this did they miss a, couple
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: of opportunities especially, with you, know, those third fifth and.
- 1:58:44Speaker 16: Sixth round picks, at that point maybe in, the third
- 1:58:48Speaker 16: round there were still some fairly quality edge rushers, That
- 1:58:52Speaker 16: WERE available but i wouldn't trade one of those pass
- 1:58:57Speaker 16: rushers for the defensive backs that they selected in the second.
- 1:59:00Speaker 8: And THIRD round and i do think a lot of
- 1:59:02Speaker 8: it has To Do, with, dante fowler who Of course
- 1:59:05Speaker 8: the seahawks Have ad, in Jurday Specifically but DeMarcus lawrence
- 1:59:08Speaker 8: also have a great deal of familiarity with him from
- 1:59:11Speaker 8: their time SHARED together At uh in Dallas and at
- 1:59:15Speaker 8: Day also In Atlanta. WITH dante, fowler i mean you
- 1:59:19Speaker 8: look at his pass rush win rate at Least According
- 1:59:22Speaker 8: To pro football focus and looks particularly with a. Grain
- 1:59:24Speaker 8: of salt but they do a nice job of the.
- 1:59:27Speaker 8: Value wing players i'm putting, a number there and some
- 1:59:29Speaker 8: of the pass rushers that had More Sacks than dante
- 1:59:33Speaker 8: fowler a year ago ian were didn't have pass rush
- 1:59:36Speaker 8: win rates that. THAT he did i think that he
- 1:59:38Speaker 8: is just Kind of a it's almost like the crafty left.
- 1:59:41Speaker 8: HANDER in, baseball i mean he's a guy that just
- 1:59:43Speaker 8: knows how to. GET after quarterbacks i think they can
- 1:59:46Speaker 8: be part. Of the rotation, and to me what's encouraging is,
- 1:59:49Speaker 8: that to me this is a Sign that the seahawks
- 1:59:51Speaker 8: Feel Very confident DeMarcus lawrence, is coming back and also
- 1:59:54Speaker 8: a sign that they are very high on their second
- 1:59:58Speaker 8: year Players like A jared i Ivy or a connor
- 2:00:01Speaker 8: O'Toole Or, a jalen gains some of the players That
- 2:00:04Speaker 8: maybe longtime seahawks fans may not, know THAT well but
- 2:00:08Speaker 8: sele kept on their active roster last year to not
- 2:00:12Speaker 8: allow anybody else to steal them off. To practice SQUAD
- 2:00:14Speaker 8: so clearly sele is very high on some of their
- 2:00:17Speaker 8: in house candidates and didn't feel like they had To
- 2:00:19Speaker 8: make at brusher nearly as much of a, priority as
- 2:00:22Speaker 8: say goofball, is like me we're pounding the table for
- 2:00:25Speaker 8: to make that.
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: A priority earlier rob rang brought To You, By ferrelli's Pizza,

- 2:12:49Speaker 9: he batted down at least. One couple passes the coaches
- 2:12:53Speaker 9: noticed those things because you can't sack a quarterback. In
- 2:12:56Speaker 9: these drills he can't even. Get near him but if
- 2:12:58Speaker 9: you're showing that you can't get cut and can't get
- 2:13:01Speaker 9: the offensive lineman and there, into your body and you
- 2:13:03Speaker 9: can still extend your arms and. Blockbound short passes, they
- 2:13:07Speaker 9: noticed that so he would be.
- 2:13:09Speaker 1: NOTICED for Sure i Noticed devin the eastern, just size,
- 2:13:12Speaker 1: wise he's big six' five, fifteen, is maybe yeah yeah
- 2:13:17Speaker 1: they listen. HIM at. Three twenty i listen i'd say.

- 2:13:26Speaker 1: red bryant, flashbacks yeah like Really He's, bigger than mike morris,
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: who's a, big dude you know, but he's a big
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: big fella against. Sixty five three twenty he was. A
- 2:13:37Speaker 1: seventh round pick he just jumped out, with size to
- 2:13:39Speaker 1: me the, same thing you SAID the first Thing i want.
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: When i'm walking OUT the first Thing I noticed about
- 2:13:43Speaker 1: jadarian price kind of noticed that yesterday the, news conference
- 2:13:46Speaker 1: came in and you never know if guys, weren't a,
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: size medium ye hoodie like, big guys like me they always.
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: Look like sized, medium but, For, him you're like okay
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: You're sitting next to mike, McDonald and, you're like you
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: know you're dwarfing. Him upper body wise and McDonald. Doesn't Miss,
- 2:13:58Speaker 1: arm days so price you look at him, then watching,
- 2:14:01Speaker 1: him today you know like at two o three we talked.
- 2:14:04Speaker 1: About a draft night?
- 2:14:05Speaker 6: Is?
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: He thick enough right he said that was seven pounds.
- 2:14:08Speaker 9: Less Than He, played at notre dame and then he
- 2:14:10Speaker 9: was nervous and, overtrained for the combine and that about
- 2:14:13Speaker 9: the time he, got to the combine he was with
- 2:14:14Speaker 9: whoa two O three and the seahawks scouts. Said the,
- 2:14:17Speaker 9: same thing they said this is lighter than he plays
- 2:14:19Speaker 9: we'd rather him played to ten.
- 2:14:21Speaker 8: Or so they.
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: Say two fifteen ish maybe it is what they said.
- 2:14:23Speaker 1: To ten to fifteen they want it to.
- 2:14:25Speaker 9: Be Above two ten and price said he's intending to
- 2:14:27Speaker 9: play at, least at two.
- 2:14:28Speaker 1: Ten if not more he's not as thick, down below
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: as say, like a ken walker but up above he's.
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: HE'S putting quick feet i WATCHED him do. GRILLS i
- 2:14:36Speaker 1: put on i saw him. CATCH a couple passes i thought. He,
- 2:14:37Speaker 1: couldn't catch passes yeah.
- 2:14:38Speaker 9: They threw to him they made a point of throwing
- 2:14:40Speaker 9: to him, an eleven on eleven he did go wrong
- 2:14:44Speaker 9: way a couple of times and lined up the wrong.
- 2:14:45Speaker 9: Way and the quarterback the quarterback lined him. On the
- 2:14:48Speaker 9: wrong way here's. In the wrong way. They're doing very
- 2:14:50Speaker 9: rudimentary they're not doing much of because they're not going
- 2:14:53Speaker 9: to show fifty guys who aren't going to be here
- 2:14:55Speaker 9: after weekend. Much of the playbook so they just want,
- 2:14:57Speaker 9: to see if they especially the, undrafted and TRYOUT guys are,
- 2:15:01Speaker 9: They nfl caliber players can they actually? Belong on this
- 2:15:04Speaker 9: field and, for the draft picks it's just basically acclimating
- 2:15:08Speaker 9: to this is going to be your home for. The
- 2:15:09Speaker 9: next four years so maybe. It's not a guarantee And
- 2:15:12Speaker 9: we TALKED about chris and i did seven draft picks
- 2:15:15Speaker 9: On A team the super bowl champion with twenty of.
- 2:15:17Speaker 9: Twenty two returning starters it's no guarantee that those seven
- 2:15:20Speaker 9: picks are going, to make The Team especially because John
- 2:15:22Speaker 9: schneider and you i'm alluded to it last segment in his,
- 2:15:26Speaker 9: tenure of sixteen years thirty two non drafted or were
- 2:15:30Speaker 9: creaticy DFAs have made, the team and play and. Many
- 2:15:32Speaker 9: of them played they had a. Lead running back HERE
- 2:15:35Speaker 9: It Was a udfa thomas rawls for. A couple of
- 2:15:37Speaker 9: years so you can count on one or. Two of
- 2:15:39Speaker 9: those guys of the seven they, announced today is, signing
- 2:15:42Speaker 9: as possibly said.
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: A couple of.
- 2:15:43Speaker 9: Them are edge. Rushers There's a couple marvin jones has
- 2:15:48Speaker 9: all kinds Of physical skills from oklahoma. As a pass
- 2:15:51Speaker 9: rusher he's THE son a former Nfl Player For a
- 2:15:54Speaker 9: Florida state hall of famer. By the same name there
- 2:15:59Speaker 9: there's chance there's a spot on this. Roster For edge
- 2:16:03Speaker 9: Rushers aiden hubbard from northwestern had Eleven Sacks. In the
- 2:16:07Speaker 9: big ten there's a place if these guys can SHOW
- 2:16:11Speaker 9: they belong as nfl players for the edge, rushers on
- 2:16:13Speaker 9: this roster. So we'll see who but there aren't a.
- 2:16:16Speaker 9: TON of Starting Jobs i Think bud Clark and newly
- 2:16:19Speaker 9: and neil. Have, Chances to.
- 2:16:20Speaker 1: Start, yeah and you know like part of this too
- 2:16:22Speaker 1: is the, Trolling, Of, the waters like okay you bring

- 2:16:27Speaker 1: home outside of the, guys that you dropped and the
- 2:16:29Speaker 1: guys that You've. Signed is as udfa's maybe there's a
- 2:16:33Speaker 1: guy along the way that ends up taking a spot
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: and they sign him as a free, agent before you
- 2:16:37Speaker 1: know the mini camp start and you let somebody else go.
- 2:16:39Speaker 1: From your ninety man but, those are long. Shots AS

- 2:24:51Speaker 12: YEAH i'm telling, You, i say. THAT okay little sarcastic
- 2:24:54Speaker 12: i think he, could be really yeah. LIKE crazy crazy
- 2:24:59Speaker 12: good i do believe.
- 2:25:00Speaker 3: That it does go one of.
- 2:25:01Speaker 12: TWO ways for me i think he's either incredibly corny
- 2:25:04Speaker 12: and like tries way too hard to. Be like that
- 2:25:09Speaker 12: guy or if he's if, he's like you said if
- 2:25:12Speaker 12: he is willing to tell the truth and just okay
- 2:25:14Speaker 12: instead of just.
- 2:25:15Speaker 3: Say like random CATPHRASES you.
- 2:25:17Speaker 1: Know what i mean i'm gonna give him. A back.
- 2:25:18Speaker 1: Ended compliment oh okay russ never really cared about what other,
- 2:25:24Speaker 1: players thought of him. Including, HIS own teammates true i
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: won't go, as, far as say, well, sort of selfish
- 2:25:31Speaker 1: right it's.
- 2:25:32Speaker 6: Like.
- 2:25:32Speaker 3: Level, Of arrogance yeah yeah so if.
- 2:25:34Speaker 1: He brings, that same, like whatever YOU, know attitude to
- 2:25:37Speaker 1: tv then he'll be willing to say what he. Really,
- 2:25:40Speaker 1: feels and, sees yeah you know like he'll. Be he'll,
- 2:25:42Speaker 1: be honest if not we. GET separation as preparation i
- 2:25:46Speaker 1: hope it's one. Way or the other either give me.
- 2:25:48Speaker 1: Every rust cliche ever either give me every single rest,
- 2:25:52Speaker 1: cliche you've ever had or or just, be rush saying yeah.
