• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in the fifty one year history of the team. In
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: twenty six year history of the program was stood out
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and the news of it, it was Devin Witherspoon's contract
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was the news not yet done. And you get a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: little taste of how the sausage is made in the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: NFL's media and perception world from the general manager, John Schneider.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And you'll hear from Devin Witherspoon, who we are not
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: allowed to interview. He will kept them off limits to us.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: We're also not allowed to interview the general manager out here.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Well, Hard Knocks did from them.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's reasons they're telling stories, you're actually reporting news.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, that was that became the news last
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: night because the first time in the GM or the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: player himself talked about Devin Witherspoon's new contract not being
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: done yet. At ten twenty five, we're gonna talk to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Tyrese Knight, the linebacker. Third year, he was a starter
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: instantly as a rookie. Mike McDonald cleaned house. Remember that
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in middle of the season he got rid of Jerome Baker,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: traded Tyrell Dotson gone, and Tyree Knight and Ernest Jones
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: came in. And then last year Tyrese Knight was benched.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Drake Thomas took his job and Tyree Knight became a
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: practical special teams player and a really good one for
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Jay Harbow. You'll hear from Tyrese Knight about that and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: how tough last season was. He was injuries, he lost
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: his job and his outlook now going into year three.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Tyrese Knight at ten twenty five, ten forty five the Mariners, Yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we have to. Jerry Depoto spoke yesterday. The President of
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Baseball Operations Jessman, was there in the dugout before the game.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Talked about the trades he just made, why he did it,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: what he didn't do, and what teams are asking about,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: including George Kirby. I'm here from Jerry Depoto, the man
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in charge of the Mariners. At ten forty five. At
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: eleven o'clock, Brian Flurries for the first time since training
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: camp began. The new offensive coordinator for the Seahawks. Jessmin.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: He said more in ten minutes, more substantively in ten
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: minutes than Shane Waldron and Klink Kubiexad combined in two,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: four or five years. I mean, I was unable to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: quote the last two offensive coordinators. I quoted Brian Flurr
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: extensively in the story it's up now at the Newstribune
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: dot com, and he had interesting comments about how Mike
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: McDonald is challenging him in many ways every day on
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and off the field. This is the first time Brian
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: flur Is ever called offensive plays anywhere. The last time
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: he called plays period, he was a defensive coordinator for
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Sacred Heart University in Connecticut, an FCS program, twenty years ago.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: That's what the Seahawks have handed the offensive play calling
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: controls over to. You'll hear from Brian Flurry in his
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: entirety at.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Eleventh engaging quite Yes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He was, and the players say he's really really intelligent,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and they rearely to the point in direct a lot
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: like he's head coach in that way, but speaks clearly
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and is direct and sometimes Blunt'll you'll hear from Brian Fleurry,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the new offensive coordinator. I can tell you right now
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: it's out here so far how he's changed. There's more
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: tight ends there's more tight end motion, there's more throwing
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to the tight ends, there's more throwing to the running backs.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: The running backs say they have more of a larger
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: route tree than they've ever seen for their position under
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Mike hir Brian Flurry, the third offensive coordinator Seahawks have
• 7:33

• 8:10
  Speaker 2: What'd you learn that you didn't know about the Seahawks
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: At four nine four five one. We'll read back your
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: text At eleven thirty Derek Hall's truck splash that looked
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: like a Tonka toy among toys. It was. I mean
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: that thing was gigantic driving down the road. And he
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: talked about that with us, his love for trucks he
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: did Mississippian and how much he loves to work on trucks.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Remember we heard from the UPS truck driver. Delivery guy
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: said that Paull and his dad work on the truck.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: The right place because he was just constantly delivering parts
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: to see them there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's Derek Hall. That's that's authentic Derek Hall.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: He saw the truck yesterday. Devin Witherspoon and John Schneider
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: talking for the first time on his contract at the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: cornerback's three three time probo cornerbacks contract not done yet
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and for the first time. We heard from the GM
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and Witherspoon himself last night on Hard Knocks about it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: This is what it sounded like.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Devin Witherspoon hasn't signed a new deal yet.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, gravy baby, we're going on by man, I got you.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: But the cornerback who's been to three straight Pro Bowls
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: is hopeful. GM John Schneider long for him. A deal
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: he can sign very soon.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: We're just talking about Spoon. Spoon got rigged out last
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: night the previous night because ian Ra reported that we
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: were getting here making him high speed guy, and he's
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: not accepting it done. I he was like, hey, you
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: need to call the agent and tell the let's suff
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: comes from loss.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: You know, mo talk to Spoon.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Era is fine.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: He's like, yes, he's a good spot.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: We've had negotiations over the last seventeen years or you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: haven't been real fun. But every individual's different. It's the person, right,
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: So Spoon was just like this great, like high energy,
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: you know, vibrant guy. We all have the same goal
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: in mind, and we'd love to get that done because
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: the Spoon's a.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: Great wire outside of quarterback for real, we got the
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: hardest position on the field.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: It's just it's hard to guard these guys, especially when
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: you can't touch the past five yards. I mean, like
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: these guys are they real talented man? I mean it's
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: just a hard job to play. So when you got
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: a guy who could really do like shut down a
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: receiver or just like could be versatile, like I am, like,
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: you don't come across those guys often for real, So
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: when we got a premier corner like this, it's just
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: you pay him, like, please pay him.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: That's all we're seeing.
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: So but it's not really something that's on my mind
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: right now. My mind is to go wing football games.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: We're trying to beat the best team that we could
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: be for this year, and stuff like that just get
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: in a way of doing that, Like when you just
• 11:06
  Speaker 9: put it to the sign and they got handled. That
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: situation is easy to just focus on the task at hand,
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: which is getting better every day training camp, battling these
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: guys every day, compete, and every day you just focus
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: on playing football.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: That was Devin Witherspoon last night on Hard Knocks, the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: first episode of Hard Knocks, the first time we've heard
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: from him about his contract because we're not allowed to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: talk to him and they haven't provided For those who
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: don't know how it works here at training camp, Unlike
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: in the regular season, we can be in the locker
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: room and we can wait and talk to the players
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: at their locker any player. Basically, it's not so in
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the preseason. There's ninety players in the locker room, so
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the team has us out on the field, and we
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: our interviews are done out on the field or before practice,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: and they bring the players to us, so they control
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: who the players are and they can say yes or
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: no to our requests. And when we request Devin Wetherspoon
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: don't know, we requested manager John Sneider, we don't know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: or we only talk to him like meteor strike or
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the Moon's blue. But those are the so that the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: news of that was the first time those two the
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: principles of the situation have talked about that. It's interesting.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Players always say they don't they're going to set that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: aside or not worry about that. But obviously Witherspoon's worried
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: about it because Snyder was worried about Witherspoon being quote
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: wigged out about an Ian Rappaport NFL Network report, so
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: of course he's paying attention to it. Yeah, it was interesting.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but there's people around that give people like, uh, information,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know that Devin Witherspoon is like scrolling
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Twitter to see what Ian Rappaport is saying. But yeah,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: but I hate the assumption that they found out on
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: their own because there's so many people around them that
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: will just send them stuff.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, you're sorry to interrupt that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: No, they're exactly right about that, And so yeah, he's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: paying attention to it, and yeah he wants to. He says,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: please pay me, Please pay him if you're got the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: one of the best corners in the hardest position. And
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: he doesn't mean just pay him the current market rate.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: He means top of the market rate. He means thirty
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: one point one million plus, which is what Denzel Ward
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: signed last week for Cleveland to be the new number one,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: above Trent McDuffie's thirty one million from the Rams thirty
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: one million a year this offseason. So that's where it stands.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And the fact that Christian Gonzalez, the cornerback for the Patriots,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: has the same agent as Devin Witherspoon, and Gonzalez is
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: also looking at the top of the market deal to
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: renew in the same draft class picked about a dozen
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: spots behind Witherspoon, that also complicates this, and it's not
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: far to imagine that the agency that represents them both
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: and Reggie Johnson and the agent's CAAA Artist Sports, are
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: leveraging Gonzales and Witherspoon against their teams with playing those
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: two offers. They know exactly what Witherspoon and Gonzales have
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: been offered, So it's a unique situation. That is further
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: reason why this hasn't done yet. But that was Witherspoon's
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: first comments about him. What you think about Devin Witherspoon's
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: comments would chime in on the text line four nine
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: four five one. The other thing interesting about those clips
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that they picked out and wrote about the news tribute
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: this morning, it gives you a glimpse of how NFL
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: teams like to control the narrative, the perception. John Schneider
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: picking up the phone and calling ian rap report is
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: part of the quid pro quo that goes on with
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: national reporters and NFL teams. And the NFL general manager
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: calls a national reporter and says, hey call the agent,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: tell him that didn't come from us. And then John
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Schneider telling Moe Kelly, who's the most trusted man in
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: this building? Twenty two years with the Seahawks, across all regimes,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: coaching changes everything. He predates John Schneider. He's the vice
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: president of I think it's player Engagement as his title now,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: but he's the most trusted man among the players. He's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: the liaison in the confidant of the players. And John
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Schneider called Mill Kelly and said, please smooth this over
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: with Devin Witherspoon to make sure he's cool. And Kelly
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: did that, and Witherspoon said he was cool about it.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: But Schneider calling Rapaport is how the sausage is made
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. And in return for that, guess who's
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: probably going to break that. Devin Witherspoon has agreed to
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a new deal.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: That is how it works.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is how it works. And that's why the
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: local beat writers who've been here for twenty years are like,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, Oh yeah, Rappaport, Guy, I haven't seen
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport here in twenty years. How does he know that? Yeah,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that's how it's those type of scratcher back type of conversations.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that comes out of every team, not just
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks. That's the way that's done. But again, the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: news of it is that Weatherspoon says he wants to
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: be paid at the top of the market, and Snyder
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: is trying to get it done, but he's also trying
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to control the narrow and put out fires that might
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: make the player upset or feel slighted in the meantime,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And that was what was on Hard Knocks last night,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: four nine, four to five. One your thoughts on the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon contract situation. I will also say this, there
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: are some people out there who look at his interception numbers.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: He just has two and three seasons, and they say,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, A cornerback, number one draft pick, fifth
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: pick in the draft, has his two interceptions, but playing
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: basically every down for three years, aside from a couple
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: of minor injuries. What gives how you're gonna give him
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: top of the market. Well, Devin Witherspoon, for one thing,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: his numbers of percent of pass plays targeted at him
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: go down every year. His reputation precedes him and teams
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: avoid him. And when you have a cornerback on the field,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: who is Witherspoon just said, shuts down his part of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: the field. That's about a third of the field you
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: don't have to defend. And I think the numbers were
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: forty percent or thirty seven percent of past targets to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: him last year, So sixty percent of the time they're
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: throwing somewhere else. And that means that they don't have
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to worry about scheming to Witherspoon's side because he can
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: handle it. Because they're not gonna throw there anyway. Most times,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: that's an invaluable number to put value on that your defense.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You don't have to defend two thirds of the field.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: The other thing is, as you saw some more clips
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: of last night, and we tell you about all the
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: time I write about, Witherspoon is a team guy that
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the McDonald loves, chirping the energy, the competitiveness, chirpeted offensive players,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the constant banter and his play out here. Witherspoon McDonald
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: loves it, and he wants him to be a foundation
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: guy for his work, ethic and ability and leadership and
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: rapport with the players and coaches. He and McDonald on
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the field are almost like brothers. I mean, even though
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: this your age group. The other thing that bears mentioning
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: is that Devin Witherspoon deserves credit for being out here.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: He's not holding in, he's not pouting about his contract.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: He's fully participating, and we haven't seen that all the time.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: There are players in the Seahawks history that have held
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: in at cam Chancellor friends of the earl. Time with
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Jamal Adams, Devin Winerspoon's out here, uh and Mike McDonald
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and John Schneider truly appreciated. They're going to pay him,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: reward him for that as well. I'm next Tyree Knight
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: here from Seahawks training camp. The linebacker had a job
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: as a starter, kind of heady stuff. His very first
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: year as a starting inside linebacker for the Seahawks lost
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: his job. I got benched last year. We'll talk about
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: that with him. He had some interesting thoughts about that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Tyree Knight comes up next from Seahawks training camp on
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three kg RFM. Back here at the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Virginia Mason Athletics Center in Seahawk's training camp in ninety
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: three point three k r FM sitting next to Tyrese Knight,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the outside linebacker from the University of Texas El Paso
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: and the third year Seayawk in your third training camp.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I ho, sir, how did life change as a Super
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion compared to your other two off seasons. Oh,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a chain.
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: Got way more family and friends reaching out son and
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: say congrats, son, and say conci the rain. So you know,
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: being pros and cons with that. But you know, I
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: really enjoyed the moment they had last year. Ready to
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: run it back?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Do you go back to Lakeland, Florida every off season?
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: I'll go back to Miami, but you know, my city
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: on the l like two hours and thirty minutes, so
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: I'll be going back like every chance I get.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Did they have some kind of ceremony.
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: Or and giving the key to the city. I gotta
• 19:41
  Speaker 10: talk to them about that.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That's right, the season last year that you had. Well,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: let's first go back to your start of football. I was.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I've read where you your dad taught you when you
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: were before you Eve knew its shoulder pads were like
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: four or five years old. You're playing football? Yeah, you know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 10: I had older brothers and siblings, cousin I used to
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: be with a lot, so growing up I always play
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: like a love of heid in mine. So my brother
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: was always playing past and my first playing football. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: supposed to play flag, but I wanted to be at
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: my brothers, so I played ahead of my level and
• 20:13
  Speaker 10: like since then, I would just play with barry competition.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: You were playing tackle at what age for the first time.
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: I can't really recall the a's but my first time
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: I ever playing football, it was.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Tackle get flag. Yeah, no time for flag.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: Now we had to loose it up.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Same thing for you still have the linebacker mentality when
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you were a kid. You started as a rookie here
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: a new outside linebacker, not new, but you would played
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: outside linebacker for Utip but them would switch to an
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: inside linebacker and a nickel defense. All right, correct, last
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: year at Utip you finished the first season, they actually
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: cut the Seahawks Mike McDonald his first season, or cut
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Tyrell Dotson, then Jerome Baker in mid season and made
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: you Tyrese Knight a starter fifty two percent of the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: snaps your rookie season is a will linebacker next to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the new lineback Ernest Jones they traded for. How was
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the learning on the fly there as a rookie put
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: into the starting role. It was a position that you
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: had some familiarity with but hadn't played it your last
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: year at Utah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: You know, it was a bit transition defensive wise, like
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: more skiing obviously that Utaph were probably more men is
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: zone here, But you know it took a lot of working,
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: just hardrooky studying outside of the classroom and like the
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: facility to get right. But you know, towards the end
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: of my rookie y'll started putting everything together and that
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: once on I got comfortable with everything, just started it
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: for the natural for me, and I started making plays
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: on the practice field even in the late game when
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: I got in. So I guess on the coaches of
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: handling that and decided to make the change.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: The first chance that they got to see you start
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: was Week two in New England. I remember being there
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and you helped stop down Stevenson in the Patriots running
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: game that day when the Seahawks won. In September twenty
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: twenty four, how was that experience of your second NFL
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: game starting?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I want to say, since I've been
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: with the Seahaws, every time I had to come in
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: late game, amount of situation, I always performed. So I
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: get this is the total coaches that even though I'm
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: getting rested practice, I always stay locked and ready to go.
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: And it's like that Page's game. You know, I was
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: studied the game like I was ready for the get in,
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: but I wasn't expecting to get in. But once Jerome
• 22:16
  Speaker 10: got hurt, with his IDs scream and they call my name.
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: I was ready and I own not to perform, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: I think they're ready to help me set up my
• 22:21
  Speaker 10: whole career.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: You ended up with eighty eight total tackles in twenty
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: twenty four, the most by a Seahawk rookie by some
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: guy named Bobby Wagner. Was the last time they a
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: rookie had that many tackles in the season. That was
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: in twenty twelve. Have you ever talked to Bobby Wagners.
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Nah, I never talked to him personally. They reached reached
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: out to me on Twitter after my rookie year, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: that's really the only conversation you ever had.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: What an honor that was?
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: Yeah, grateful, how greatful that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate the them for that. Then last season,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: this time last year, you were injured in training camp
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and that started a much different seasons. Played just twenty
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: nine percent of the defensive next, Drake Thomas became the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: weak sidelinebacker next to Ernest Jones. The injuries, losing your job,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you went into more of a special team's role. How
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: did you handle that? What was last season for you?
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I still had multiple injuries in training count, so
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: a lot. I came back, not myself, but you know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: once they made a transition with Drake, you know, took
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: them on the chan like it was a better than
• 23:16
  Speaker 10: on the team. I just had locked in with special
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: teams and like towards the end of the year, we
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: end up having the best course special team you and
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: in the league. And I was grateful to be part
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: of that. So, you know, just that's just our last
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: year supposed to go. And like right now, I'm just
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: feeling great for the healthy. I don't have it away
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: bet at your training count beginning than I did last year.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: When you're in your second NFL season, are you the
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: pressure to come back from injury? Can you talk about that?
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: In the NFL, nothing's guaranteed, as we know, it's not
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: like you have guaranteed contract for the rest of your
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: life like baseball and basketball. What's the pressure to feeling,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: maybe not from the team, but internally within yourself to
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: get back. I want to.
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: I think the most pressure would probably be just try
• 23:56
  Speaker 10: not to come back to early and trying to come back,
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: try to come at yourself collect you don't want to
• 24:00
  Speaker 10: like not be who you was before, Like nobody. Everybody knows.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: They says when they're healthy, and like, well, you not healthy,
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: you just can't perform how you want to. And that's
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: really just how last and went for me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And you're fully healthy now full go.
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah, probably got healthy like October last year, truthfully.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: And it shows on the field. You're having an excellent camp.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You've run with the ones at times as well, alternating
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: with Drake Thomas and other looks because you've had inside
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: linebacker experience that you tapping now outside linebacker and all
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the special teams. How much more well rounded of a
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: player are you? How can you compare the Tyres night
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: of now right, not third training camp to the rookie year.
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, it's just not a day difference. I was just
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: talking to my homies about that the other day. Just
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: like going into my third year with this defense, everything,
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: I just feel like I know everything like the back
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: of my hand. Just I could feel more mobile, like
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: this training can be passed with eight days, seven days wherever.
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: It is, Like I've just been making so many plays
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: and then I did my last two years and just
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: just feel way more comfortable out there and just bet myself, what.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Are the coaches telling you about your role and what
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you can expect this coming season.
• 25:04
  Speaker 10: Really just they ain't talk to them directly about it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: but I just know just I got no say so
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: in that. I just gotta do me on the field
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: and let them put the chick so they want to
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: put it. I've been doing a good job up.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: The coaching staff is probably proven to you and others
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: have been here, there or two. If you perform in practices,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: you play.
• 25:20
  Speaker 10: Right everywhere the best man always play.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your workout like when you go home from there?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I know they assign you a workout here in the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: off season program, but when you go back to Florida,
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: what do you do? What are your workouts? How often
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you do it?
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: You know I work out of Baba Rito's down to
• 25:35
  Speaker 10: Miami pretty much. You go work out every morning around
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: like eight o'clock. I all season. It really be more
• 25:40
  Speaker 10: mobility and speed for me. You know, the weight room
• 25:43
  Speaker 10: go be there, but I'll try to focus more just
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: being more mobile, fast and more explosive and like, yeah,
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: I get my work with weight room like toward the
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: end of the day, but really every morning, just be
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: more speed just on the field. Just Burnding the heat.
• 25:54
  Speaker 10: But last two years I fly that being a great
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: aspect for me and I came by this year way
• 25:59
  Speaker 10: more than I did before.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Are you doing ladder drills? Are you doing agility.
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: Or it's just more loud of agility because it really
• 26:08
  Speaker 10: be mostly DB's and like skilled there, so I really
• 26:10
  Speaker 10: just be going with a dB just keeping up with them.
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: I think that just make my games more easy as
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: a linebacker.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: What if you learned that when you tell people you're
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: in an NFL or when people ask you what's it
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: like being in the NFL, what's what do you describe
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: being an NFL player and being a Sea Hawk?
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: Shoot the NFL player, it's a job, you know. We
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: hear sign up sun down like wen don't got a
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: time for most things right for the soul, That's how
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: it be. But I say it really just still foot
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: by the end. They just getting paid for it. But
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: it's something you've been doing since littlely and since college
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: and nothing different, just better competition and better work.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: What do you enjoy off the field when you're not
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: shigning up the sun down?
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: Here?
• 26:47
  Speaker 10: Honestly, I'm a feed up type of guy, come and
• 26:51
  Speaker 10: like go with the flow wherever the day takes me
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: the where to taste me and plus I like to

  Speaker 10: just talk to my homeboys, Like I got something out
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: of the country, so I just driving trucks. So I
• 26:59

• 27:01
  Speaker 10: phone and down do anything I can do with no
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: you know.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: How important is I have to stay in touch with
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: your people?
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: Oh you know, it's you know, life short. You can
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: do in about it the blank of a second.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: Like then, they're just guys I've been close with since
• 27:12
  Speaker 10: I level college, and I'll just trying to you know,
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: we got a little group FaceTime going, you know, since
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: kind of been started. Been missing all the calls, but
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: I trying to at least talk to them once a day,
• 27:19
  Speaker 10: probably thirty minutes to the hour, but just letting them
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: still here. You know, I ain't changing up or nothing
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: like that.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: You know how many of those friends are in the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: NFL from your college, You're it. Yeah, so they're constantly
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: asking you what it's like.
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they they come to my games a
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: lot too, so they know they really doubt now to
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: what I'm going on. They know how everything's been from
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: me the last couple of years, so they're very supportive.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Are you looking forward to watching yourself on hard knocks?
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Are you interested in that? And what if you've thought
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: of that hole?
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: Since sir, I don't know, it's gonna be fun. They
• 27:48
  Speaker 10: can't wait to watch that the night. I only think
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: I expect to see myself there, but if I do
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: shout out?
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Do you notice the cameras in the meeting rooms? Are
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: you aware of them?
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: Do you think I just noticed the cameras in the
• 27:59
  Speaker 10: wall a couple weeks ago, but I don't really see
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: the bit kermons like in the team meeting room and
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: not really be in opposition.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Have they come into the locker room yet with a
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: handholk yea, yeah, they'd be in their prepractice, okay, looking
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: at guys and they read it for the thing? Is
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: that unnatural to you? You think it's weird or you
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: used to it, but now.
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: I mean college they used to have not people recording
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: my people walking around taking picsions and stuff. So it
• 28:21
  Speaker 10: really the same thing, just movement instead of a picture.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: So I'm ready to pay too much attention.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Tyree Knight, you're a veteran now, I appreciate you joining
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: us and best elect to you for the entire twenty
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: twenty six season. Thanks a lot out, thanks for having
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Thanks to Tyree knighte for stopping by yesterday right before practice,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: and we're talking about what a lot of people don't consider.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: They just see guys on the field and they start,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, Drake Thomas is starting.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: What happened to Tyree Knight, Well, he became a really
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: good special teams player yes last year. Fifty of the
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: special team snaps for Jay Harbaugh last year. And I
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: talked to Harvard yesterday about him, and he said, Tyree
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Knight is a really good student in the game of
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: asking questions about anything he doesn't quite understand, scheme wise,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: or what the coaches are asking him to do. He'll
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: ask and he'll keep asking until he gets the understanding
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: of what to do, and then he goes out and
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: executes it really well in the field. It's why Harbaugh
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: likes to put him on all the kick teams and
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: kick coverage teams and tackling in the open field. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: so that became his role last year. And everybody has
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: a role, right, I mean, only twenty two guys can start,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't one of them. And Drake Thomas took
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: his place last year after Tyree Knight was injured during
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: training camp, and so he had to find a new
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: role and it became on the kicking game, special teams,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and kick coverage, and that's where I see him right now.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Drake Thomas is still the starting inside weak side linebacker
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: next to Ernest Jones. That doesn't look like that's about
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: to change. McDonald loves how Drake Thomas does everything the
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: coaches ask him in it and is very anticipateory to
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: what an offense wants to do, and he diagnoses plays
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and formations and is cerebral and aggressive at the same time,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: and a good solid tackler and all of that. Tyree
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Knight had some tackling issues in this chance he had
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: as a rookie, which led to McDonald looking elsewhere potentially
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: replacing him. But Tyree Knight still has a role in
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: his team, and there are players on this roster who
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: have to do what he does in order to make
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: this team work. In fact, Jays Barbaugh had one of
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the would most metrics say was the best special teams
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: unit in the league last year, and as you heard
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Tyree Knight say, he was proud of that and his
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: role for that. So thanks to Tyree Knight, he went
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: to UTEP. He was a community college independent community college
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: in Kansas for one and a half years or so,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: two seasons, and then went to get his chance at UTEP.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: He was an outside linebacker at UTEP, more of a
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: week side outside guy than he is now for the
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: first two years at Texas El Paso, and then he
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: moved the inside linebacker's final year and that's when he
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: took off and got to the NFL radar. He had
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: double digit tackles for losses. I talked to him his
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: rookie year about that and he said, UTEB just told
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: him to go go into the backfield, go get the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: ball carrier. Not a lot of structure. They just said,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: go get the ball carrier. And he uses athleticism much
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: more structure here in the role he's in back at,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: more of an outside weak side linebacker role that he
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: had his first couple of years at UTEB.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just like seeing guys embrace a role.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: But everything that you said about him too is exactly
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: what you'd want.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: And you know, I coached throughout.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: You know, I played volleyball, but I also coached it
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: right after I graduated college, and what I liked were
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: people that asked the right questions. And that's a curious
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: person that I like to hear about out there.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Next, we're going to switch gears to baseball the Mariners.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Jerry Depoto, the architect of the team, the guy who
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: decides to trade and not trade, describes the trades he
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: made for Taylor Ward, the trading of Luis Castillo. You'll
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: hear from Jerry Depoto, the president of the Mariners. Next
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: a ninety three point three KJRFM. Welcome back Greg Bell
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for the tenth practice
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: of Seahawks training camp. Will be this afternoon, out of
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: smoke and the heat here along Lake Washington back at
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Elliott Bay in our studios at KJR Jessmin McIntyre. Yesterday,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: before the game and Teamobile Park, the Mariners losing eight
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: nothing to the Tigers, or ninth loss in thirteen games,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: team president Jerry Depoto spoke to the media about the
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: trades in the trade deadline, the trades he made, the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: trades he didn't make, trading Luis Castillo to the Chicago
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: White Sox to get Sir Anthony Domingez in his bullpen,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: one of the veteran arms he wanted. Dimingus goes out
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: and gives up four runs with two walks and two
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: home runs last night in his first game, and then
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: a trade on deadline day Monday for Taylor Ward outfield,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a right handed hitter from the Baltimore Orioles, an on
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: base guy this year, a home run here for the
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Angels last year and the year before, Ward went oh
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: for three last night. Before that happened and before their debuts,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Jerry Depoto spoke about his moves and what he did
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: and didn't do at the trade deadline.
• 33:39
  Speaker 11: This is a tough rosters prove. You know, we've not
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: played well, we've underperformed our talent level. But finding you
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: upgrades from a player perspective in any of these positions
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: lead you back to the best player. Probably when we
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: have with the accession being that we wanted to really
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: out of that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Bullpen and we knew we needed.
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: To have, especially our v left but a right hand
• 34:04
  Speaker 11: hitter would be preferable.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: We feel like with Hailor and Ward we got you know,
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: at least, if not the best right hand bat that
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: moved at this deadline and a certain amp moment on
• 34:15
  Speaker 11: the short list and the best writing hand bats you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: a lead on day skills. He's he's been a good
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: performance LA for six years now. With any Fitz guard
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: our team quite well. Obviously an everyday player who could
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: handle the bold would he particularly good against lefties. And
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: in the Louis deal, we brought back Sir Anthony the Thingaz,
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: who has had you know, a vast experience at leverage moments.
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: Obviously some imperfections, but it's a big time batanist or
• 34:41
  Speaker 11: who has pissed and fort and roll in a lot
• 34:43
  Speaker 11: of defense. And with Carlos Margas to back on the
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: near horizon if Matt Brash shortly thereafter, we feel like
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: that combination makes us better.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: And you know, we tried to stay in tune with
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: other things that might help, you know, make the team
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: a little.
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: Better, and unfortunately weren't able to push anything else across.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: But we feel like the addition is particularly in the
• 35:04
  Speaker 11: short term of Taylor Award, you know, the return of
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: Brendan Donovan.
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: The acquisition of Sir Anthony de Minguez.
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: I think the lack of drama associated was simply having
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: a five man rotation.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: This all a positive step of play against smooth in
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: the right direction. Serious Ward's edition matter and you know,
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: looking looks like they beating out for quite a while.
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: And think, just you've known Taylor for a long time,
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: what do you think you've seen in the extreme?
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: Seriously, so the last year Steven.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Is year, I hope what you think he is right now.
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: He's always had strong, you know, his own skills.
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: You know, he's he's always been something in the average
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: to the lead level in terms of contact.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: And he's always taking stating back to college. She's done that,
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: I laughingly I said to him yesterday, just as I
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: always thought my second conversation with Taylor Award was going
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: to be welcoming him as a thirty two year old
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: corner off, because last time I talked to him, he's
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: a twenty one year old, you know, perspective catcher.
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: But he really does balance things out nicely for us.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: He can play every day.
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: He's played a lot of right field in his life,
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: but hasn't played any regularly in a couple of years.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 36:10
  Speaker 11: We're gonna take a moment to donboard just pamiliarize him
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: with the angles. Again, he's done some of it in
• 36:16
  Speaker 11: the practice, so stock will be shockers to him, but
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: you know, he's the aging tonight.
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: I don't think that's gonna last month. The field will
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: play right field, and.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: I think generally if the expectation is with Luke pal
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: likely out for the duration, that don gets some right
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: field days. But Donald very comfortable daching and that keeps
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: you know, like it keeps his hand strings in a
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: better place. So it just makes us a more stable
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: everyday team and no longer requiring massive platoons. And the
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: you know, the endfield is still very left handed, but
• 36:48
  Speaker 11: you know, Donnie, JP, cold Cole nails that they all
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: hit left handed. But when they're at the very best,
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: they're either you know, they're combative in the box or
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: they're just good against both sides. And we'll all have
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: to navigate how that works. But Taylor stepping in really
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: does reduce our need to have, you know, the kind
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: of opportunity aspect of what.
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: We were doing with Cherry, with the players you had
• 37:16
  Speaker 12: do to come back off the injured list and the
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: prospects of that kind of knocking.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: On the door.
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: How did that really change? Trade toss for you guys
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: on much of when.
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: They to give up with who you had to get
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: back or.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Sent to in thirty keeps, you know, I mean changed
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: it somewhat. You know, we really weren't looking.
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: To add to our starting rotation, which is at quite
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: the fact that we actually traded but started. We were
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: very comfortable with where we were both and impact and depth,
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: so that wasn't an.
• 37:43
  Speaker 7: Area we were looking to address. We really did want to.
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: Add one or multiple both end pieces. There's just weren't
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: definitely available. This is one of the very rare and
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: I think the way this went down over the course
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: of this deadline period is evidence of it. There were
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: more starting the pictures available in this market than there
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: were impact relievers, and you know that's the way it
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: played out. Uh, there were more left handed bats available
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: than right handed bats, so our unique needs weren't naturally
• 38:11
  Speaker 11: available on the market. We were very creative in some
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: of the discussions we had with various teams. We didn't
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: really consider the you know, anything that was likely to
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: move from the top of our prospect system. You know,
• 38:25
  Speaker 11: we're foundationally, that's how we're built. You know, the k
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: and Anderson's, the Ryan Stones, the you know, Michael Arroyos
• 38:31
  Speaker 11: the last and so that that's that's who we're about.
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: And you know, in order to move those players who are.
• 38:37
  Speaker 11: Going to get have to get something seizemic to move
• 38:39
  Speaker 11: this team that was controlling the moving forward.
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: That wasn't available on this market.
• 38:43
  Speaker 13: So you know, like I.
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: Said, it's a weirdly tough team to upgrade on with
• 38:48
  Speaker 11: what was available to us at this market or in
• 38:51
  Speaker 11: this market. But we never really considered a trade that
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: was going to tap into the top ten. We talked
• 38:58
  Speaker 11: more about creative ways we could access players from Timmy
• 39:02
  Speaker 11: Blue at the dead round who might be a part
• 39:05
  Speaker 11: of what we were doing, not just in twenty six,
• 39:07
  Speaker 11: but yeah as well.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: That was Jerry Depoto before the Mariners lost eight to
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: nothing last night, when of the worst games of the
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: year to fall down the four games below five hundred
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: and three and a half games out of first place
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: in the American League West. So you heard what he said,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and that's why George Kirby is they didn't consider trading
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: him and said it never got past the hello stage
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: for teams calling about him. It didn't give much. With
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Emerson Hancock, who's under club control for the next few
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: years and emerging for the first time this year as
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: a bona fide starter effective starter in the league. Although
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: he lost last night with four runs and five innings,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: three earned and eight heads, Toboto said, when you look
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: at our lineup, you've got Brendan Donovan and Taylor warditing
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: seven and eight where they were last night, we should
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: be a hub of a lot better than we are,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: and hopefully this is step one and getting to a
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: place where we performed. Commiserate to our talent, because our
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: talent is as good as anybody in the league. Talked
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: about Ward balancing them and the fact that Ward can
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: play DH and the first of all, that he can
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: hit left handed pitching as a right handed bet that
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: they need. He also said that we don't need those
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: power suppliers to apply some power, talking about Kyle Rowley,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Josh Naylor and Julio Rodriguez. We do need those power
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: suppliers to apply some power, and it just hasn't really
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: gotten on track for them. If those three guys get going,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: and we don't need them to be a superstar versions
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: of themselves, but we have a deep lineup, and if
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: this group performs with its ability, then we can do
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: the things we want to do. We still have a
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: lot of road ahead of us, and we're still within
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: shouting this shooting distance, which is why we did what
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: we did at the deadline, meaning not mortgage and future
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: and not send out Hancock and not trade Kirby Jerry Depoelo.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Your reaction to him, what the same as Charlie Brown's
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: teacher four nine, four to five to one on the
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Tacoma Dodge text line, his explanation for the trades, bringing
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: in Sir Anthony Domingas, getting the White Sox to pay
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: for the salary for this year, next year and the
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: contract option you're twenty twenty eight for Luis Castillo and
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Taylor Ward coming to Seattle four nine, four to five one.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: We'll read back to text at eleven thirty and what's
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: your reaction to that? And thoughts of that are up next.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Brian Flurry, the new offensive coordinator here out at Seahawks
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: training camp. It's the first time he's called offensive plays
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: anywhere for anybody. He has said he's getting challenged every
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: day by his head coach and boss, Mike McDonald. He'll
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: explain how Brian Flurry, the new Seahawks offensive coordinator. Next
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: on ninety three point three KJRFM.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Now from the Star Rentals Sports Tests Jordan ninety three
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: point three KJRFMS sports Headlines, Good.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Morning from the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Seahawks training camp.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Headlines are brought to you by Frostbrew, Corslight, Choose Chill.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Seahawks Training Camp Day nine yesterday. Cornerback Noah Igbinogamy, he
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: sat down with us on yesterday's show, moved into alternating
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: with the starting defense and Nickel and Dine to give
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: you an idea how much the coaches are impressed with
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: the eighth year veteran corner and what he's doing. New
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: running back of Manuel Wilson. They signed him from Green
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Bay in the offseason. Yesterday, I signed forging a role
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: was a short yardage back with the starting offenses, as
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: we mentioned, more of a bigger back and that could
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: be his role. New offensive Brian Fleury says, coach Mike
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: McDonald's challenging him every practice. You're gonna hear from Brian
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Fleury right after headlines. The first episode of Seahawks Hard
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Knocks was last night. Comments from Devin Witherspoon and GM
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: John Schneider about the cornerback's new contract. Was the news
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: with its been said. If you got a guy like
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: me as versas as I am and one of the
• 42:50

  Speaker 3: lot of different things that go on that it's outside
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: of their regular season, and yeah, I like it.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: They played like ten months a year.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Respect Well, they're going to change that. They're going to
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: condense the season more. But tonight they're playing two again
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Mexico for the League's Cup at seven o'clock. Sounders tonight.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Fighting Feltz is that's right? Is that part of our broadcast?
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I know that sometimes the League Cup are non MLS
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: games we don't have on the station.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, but I just call them the furious
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Feltz is the fighting Feltz Is.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: I just say that, Well, he's furious over the Sounders
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: they've lost six, Yeah, first time in club history.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: That's when we go with genuine Jackson because he tells
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: the truth about it.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Back here at Seahawks training camp, where the cheerleaders are
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: taking the field, the fans are starting to come in
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: for an afternoon practice to practice number ten. Brian Flurry
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: is the new offensive coordinator. We're seeing all kinds of
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: new things from Brian Fleurry every day, including tight end usage,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: running back us. She's throwing the ball a lot to
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: the running backs that running backs say that's the most
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: they've ever had of a route tree under Brian Fleury
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: that they've ever had at the running back position past catching.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Brian Fleury said he's getting challenged every day by Mike McDonald.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: He explains how and why, and his first job as
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a play caller at any.
• 45:27
  Speaker 14: Level, it's been great. I mean, obviously there's a good
• 45:34
  Speaker 14: foundation here in place, a lot of good players, so
• 45:36
  Speaker 14: it's an exciting situation to walk into and it's been
• 45:39
  Speaker 14: it's been awesome, big men. Obviously, you're overseeing the entire group.
• 45:49
  Speaker 14: I'm using solely into the entire group, but now just
• 45:52
  Speaker 14: having to make sure that I'm paying attention to every
• 45:54
  Speaker 14: aspect of every single drill. There times, as a position coach,
• 45:56
  Speaker 14: you can kind of hunker down on your bunker and
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: just focus on your own guys.
• 45:59
  Speaker 15: And and now I don't have that luxury anymore.
• 46:02
  Speaker 14: All right, how much installed right now and how much
• 46:06
  Speaker 14: I would say a good chunk of the foundation isn't sold.
• 46:09
  Speaker 14: The challenge that we face is we're going against one
• 46:11
  Speaker 14: style of defense every day, and so much of the
• 46:13
  Speaker 14: package is built to attack different styles of defense. So
• 46:16
  Speaker 14: there's really no point putting it in because it's not
• 46:18
  Speaker 14: gonna work or be executed properly against what we're seeing
• 46:20
  Speaker 14: on a daily basis. But that's one of the reasons
• 46:22
  Speaker 14: I'm excited to get to Tennessee and you know, use
• 46:24
  Speaker 14: some of those other pieces.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: So you'll roll some of that during the season too,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: because you.
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: Haven't seen this look check.
• 46:30
  Speaker 15: Yeah, for sure.
• 46:30
  Speaker 14: I mean we'll find a way once we get into
• 46:32
  Speaker 14: more like a controlled scouteing period. We'll work on developing
• 46:35
  Speaker 14: those skills before we get to that time. But for
• 46:37
  Speaker 14: right now, we're just kind of focus on competing against
• 46:39
  Speaker 14: each other, working on fundamentals, building the foundation, skills and
• 46:42
  Speaker 14: effort and techniques and that sort of thing.
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: How about the play calling aspects for you?
• 46:47
  Speaker 11: Is that an adjustment at all from what you've been
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: doing in the last few years.
• 46:51
  Speaker 14: I have thought as a play caller for a long time.
• 46:53
  Speaker 14: Obviously doing it for the first time at this level
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: is going to present some challenges. Mike is doing a
• 46:56
  Speaker 14: great job of like putting me through the ringer in
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: terms of challenging situations. We go through different ones every day.
• 47:01
  Speaker 14: For some reason, we're always like down by a touchdown
• 47:04
  Speaker 14: with fifty seconds left and no timeouts. I don't know
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: who's burning through the timeouts, but it left it definitely
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: like it.
• 47:09
  Speaker 15: Helps me, you know, adjust to those situations.
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: How much do you want to an offense dictate to
• 47:14
  Speaker 16: a defense what you're going to do with your play
• 47:16
  Speaker 16: calls versus put them in back situations and know that
• 47:18
  Speaker 16: their rules you might want to break.
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: It's it's a combination of both. It's really both kind
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: of all the time. You know, we're attacking defenses and
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: their structure, but utilizing our players in ways that fit
• 47:29
  Speaker 14: their skill sets and allow them to.
• 47:30
  Speaker 13: Six years Brian, you've obviously be in this division.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: You've known Cooper Crop and he's known his game for
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: a long time.
• 47:35
  Speaker 15: But working with them what stands out being around him
• 47:38
  Speaker 15: every day.
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: He just until you work in a building with him,
• 47:42
  Speaker 14: you don't appreciate his love for every aspect of football.
• 47:44
  Speaker 14: We've had so many conversations about how the online is
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: blocking run plays and things that are completely outside of
• 47:49
  Speaker 14: the normal realm of his position group. So that's been
• 47:52
  Speaker 14: really cool to experience, and I admire that.
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: I think with there like a thirty longs and version
• 47:57
  Speaker 11: of the next play he's blocking on the edge.
• 47:58
  Speaker 15: I mean that pretty much some up, Yeah, I mean
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: it does.
• 48:01
  Speaker 14: We we were in a third long situation and you know,
• 48:04
  Speaker 14: I saw them trying to sell We wanted to get
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: up on the ball quickly. And he's like just such
• 48:08
  Speaker 14: a versatile piece. He can do some of the things
• 48:10
  Speaker 14: that tight ends do normally, and having him out there
• 48:12
  Speaker 14: is definitely makes it easy.
• 48:15
  Speaker 16: Hearing where you're.
• 48:16
  Speaker 13: Just literally practicing what you're saying.
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, we talked to quarterbacks.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: You have to practice changes.
• 48:21
  Speaker 15: Things right, no every day and and we're working through that. Especially.
• 48:25
  Speaker 14: I try to make it harder on myself, like there's
• 48:27
  Speaker 14: a lot of thought that will go into it beforehand.
• 48:29
  Speaker 14: Going into a game, you'll have stuff kind of all
• 48:31
  Speaker 14: laid out on your sheet. But I try and challenge
• 48:33
  Speaker 14: myself at times to just think off the top of
• 48:34
  Speaker 14: my head and like, see if I can get it
• 48:36
  Speaker 14: out on time for the sake of the quarterbacks and
• 48:38
  Speaker 14: the play call. And we're practicing all the time.
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: With all the shifts and the play that takes he says,
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: and make it more up to me.
• 48:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, if we're going to be able to utilize that
• 48:50
  Speaker 14: part of the offense, we have to be able to
• 48:51
  Speaker 14: get in and out of the huddle quickly. So it
• 48:52
  Speaker 14: definitely like they're aware of that and it's something we're
• 48:55
  Speaker 14: working with, working with.
• 48:56
  Speaker 16: Justin Auten and Jake Geeks with Derek Connuity from last
• 48:59
  Speaker 16: year to merging with View.
• 49:01
  Speaker 14: It's been great, not only them, but the entire coaching staff.
• 49:03
  Speaker 14: Honestly like that, you know, it's the transition was very,
• 49:06
  Speaker 14: very easy. It took us a while in the off
• 49:08
  Speaker 14: season to get on the same page, which just some
• 49:10
  Speaker 14: differences in terminology and making sure that what a word.
• 49:13
  Speaker 14: You know, I think one word means something and they
• 49:14
  Speaker 14: think it means the exact same thing, because sometimes you
• 49:16
  Speaker 14: can get lost in translation across football because people recycle words.
• 49:20
  Speaker 15: So that was a process.
• 49:20
  Speaker 14: But now that we've gotten back to camp and are
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: installing things again, it's it's been really awesome. Those guys
• 49:26
  Speaker 14: have helped me a lot, and you know, I think
• 49:27
  Speaker 14: we're all continuing to grow in the right direction.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: Did you bring your laguage year? You do a dad name?
• 49:33
  Speaker 13: So they do.
• 49:34
  Speaker 14: It's honestly a combination of both. There's I think the
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: players have answered this question a lot, and they're probably
• 49:39
  Speaker 14: the best, you know, barometer as to where it stands.
• 49:41
  Speaker 14: There's been a lot of continuity from a terminology standpoint
• 49:43
  Speaker 14: and run game protections. There's a few things formation and
• 49:46
  Speaker 14: motion wise that I've added, and then they'd say it's
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: probably fifty to fifty across the pass game. So the
• 49:50
  Speaker 14: guys that have been here I think have benefited from
• 49:53
  Speaker 14: a little bit of the same terminology.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: How you figure blitz pick up let's recognition blitz pick
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: us sho off the edge as much as Mike Senza.
• 50:02
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think it was pretty good today. We worked
• 50:03
  Speaker 15: a drill specifically for that.
• 50:04
  Speaker 14: I don't know what the efficiency numbers were, but you know,
• 50:07
  Speaker 14: I think Sam particularly does a great job of recognizing
• 50:11
  Speaker 14: those things and getting us into the best possible scenario
• 50:13
  Speaker 14: he saw.
• 50:14
  Speaker 16: Sam Don and San Francisco, and now you're seeing it
• 50:16
  Speaker 16: up here. Do you see a difference in how he's
• 50:18
  Speaker 16: playing now versus back then.
• 50:20
  Speaker 15: Well, there's a difference in his role.
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: And so you know, he knew he was the backup
• 50:24
  Speaker 14: and he was there helping support Brock, and his preparation
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: maybe was a little bit different in that role than
• 50:29
  Speaker 14: it is now. And now, you know, one of the
• 50:31
  Speaker 14: first impressions I had when I got into the building
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: is how much ownership he has over the entire thing
• 50:35
  Speaker 14: and wanted to know exactly what everybody's responsibilities were and
• 50:38
  Speaker 14: how we were going to teach certain things. And then
• 50:40
  Speaker 14: we've had a lot of great conversations about things he's
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: done in the past in Minnesota and then here last
• 50:44
  Speaker 14: year with Clint that you know I wasn't as familiar with,
• 50:46
  Speaker 14: but we can find a way to implement because you know,
• 50:48
  Speaker 14: he executes it very at a high level.
• 50:50
  Speaker 13: Where do you assess where the rinning game is right now?
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Kind of the running backs to their end, Georgia.
• 50:55
  Speaker 14: I mean, I want it to be better, but you
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: know we're moving in the right direction. I think we've
• 50:58
  Speaker 14: been efficient in practice, but I see things through a
• 51:01
  Speaker 14: different lens. It's not like the success of the play
• 51:03
  Speaker 14: on the practice field. I'm just looking at everyone's alignment
• 51:05
  Speaker 14: and the techniques and there's there's a lot of room
• 51:07
  Speaker 14: for growth there. And not to say that we're doing poorly,
• 51:09
  Speaker 14: but you know, I expect that to be an extremely
• 51:11
  Speaker 14: like reliable portion of our game.
• 51:13
  Speaker 15: And it's it's not there yet.
• 51:14
  Speaker 16: With all the ways that Mike's defense can put stress
• 51:17
  Speaker 16: on offense, how does that help you as a play call?
• 51:20
  Speaker 14: It definitely helps. I'm I think I think it's going
• 51:22
  Speaker 14: to be a more challenging. It's more challenging in practice
• 51:26
  Speaker 14: than it will be in a lot of the games,
• 51:27
  Speaker 14: you know, just with the variety and the pressure packages
• 51:30
  Speaker 14: and the movement and the physicality that they come with
• 51:32
  Speaker 14: every single day.
• 51:33
  Speaker 15: So it's it's good to face.
• 51:35
  Speaker 14: That and then hopefully transition when you're game planning and
• 51:38
  Speaker 14: things are a little bit slow down, a little bit
• 51:39
  Speaker 14: more specific.
• 51:40
  Speaker 15: It just makes it seem easier and slower for the players.
• 51:43
  Speaker 12: Even says where Jalen is in his development.
• 51:45
  Speaker 14: Right now, Jalen's had you know, a good week and
• 51:47
  Speaker 14: a half. He had a really good offseason. He's had
• 51:49
  Speaker 14: a good week and a half. He's doing a great
• 51:51
  Speaker 14: job throwing the ball. I think he's statistically he's been
• 51:53
  Speaker 14: really efficient passing the ball. He's making plays with his
• 51:56
  Speaker 14: feet when necessary. But we're really focused on pain playing
• 51:59
  Speaker 14: quarterback and that that the elements of that aren't always
• 52:02
  Speaker 14: visible to everybody. It's it's communication, it's timing, it's execution,
• 52:05
  Speaker 14: it's efficiency, and he's really grown a lot in those areas.
• 52:08
  Speaker 16: Green Dabel said he saw your makeup truck in the
• 52:11
  Speaker 16: parking lot.
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe you'd like to run the football.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: I like to run the football.
• 52:15
  Speaker 14: I'm not sure what the pickup truck has to do
• 52:17
  Speaker 14: with that, but if that's the impression it gives, I'm
• 52:19
  Speaker 14: okay with that.
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: Want.
• 52:22
  Speaker 13: Maybe they're coming back.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: What does that do for you.
• 52:26
  Speaker 14: As you try to Yeah, it's an extremely rare situation,
• 52:30
  Speaker 14: I think to have all five starters returning, especially from
• 52:32
  Speaker 14: a super Bowl team, So I'm walking into a really
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: good situation. And then I've worked with John Benton before.
• 52:37
  Speaker 14: He does a phenomenal job of coaching that group. So
• 52:40
  Speaker 14: the cohesion that they already have just makes it really,
• 52:42
  Speaker 14: really easy to implement stuff. And then when you do
• 52:44
  Speaker 14: realize that an adjustment needs to be made. They're just
• 52:46
  Speaker 14: so used to working with each other and communicating the
• 52:49
  Speaker 14: adjustments happen lightning fast, and so that that's a nice
• 52:52
  Speaker 14: advantage to that situation.
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: What is the importance?
• 53:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I like using two backs because it can change
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: the formation strength after the snap, as opposed to the
• 53:11
  Speaker 14: whole defense being able to identify it before the snap.
• 53:14
  Speaker 14: So I think it creates some fit problems, and it's
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: becoming less and less common across the league, so it
• 53:19
  Speaker 14: means it's difficult, more difficult to prepare for. So those
• 53:21
  Speaker 14: are the elements I like about it. I think, like
• 53:24
  Speaker 14: you know, I'm more of like an old school traditionalist
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: just because of my upbringing football, and so I'm always
• 53:28
  Speaker 14: gonna want to play with two backs at some point.
• 53:30
  Speaker 14: And uh, and I like the guys that we have
• 53:32
  Speaker 14: in that role right now.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: To that end, how how are you a fullback and
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: use the situation? But for what you want to install,
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: you need to bolster that.
• 53:40
  Speaker 15: I don't know that we need to bolster it.
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: We're gonna find creative ways to get a second back
• 53:44
  Speaker 14: into the backfield. It doesn't always have to be a
• 53:46
  Speaker 14: traditional fullback. We've found ways to use receivers and lead
• 53:49
  Speaker 14: blocking roles, other tight ends, even other running backs.
• 53:52
  Speaker 15: So we'll find a way to get it done with
• 53:54
  Speaker 15: Bill Road.
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: Do you envision like bag you ever realize these legs?
• 54:00
  Speaker 14: Potentially we'll see if he's going to be active on
• 54:02
  Speaker 14: game days. We're going to have ways to use his
• 54:04
  Speaker 14: skills to our advantage and surprise defenses with that. But
• 54:07
  Speaker 14: we have to you know, the decision about that is
• 54:10
  Speaker 14: going to be based on how well he plays quarterback.
• 54:12
  Speaker 15: We mean, we have to get over that hurdle.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: First. Dame Brian Flurry with some interesting comments and as
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: I said, more insightful than a couple of years of
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Shane Waldron maybe before him and Clint Kubiak last year
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: the predecessor's third offensive coordinator in three years for the Seahawks,
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: and Ryan Grubb was the one year that Mike McDonald's
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: first year twenty twenty three, So in fact, four and
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: four years if you count Waldron, then Grub, yeahin Kubiak's
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: phone season and now Brian Fleury. It's interesting at the
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: en talk about Jalen Milroy. He says, first he's got
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: to be a quarterback and can throw the ball. Before
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: we worry about any specialty packages was exactly the opposite
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: of last year. At this time we were all talking
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: about specialty packages under Klint Kubiak for the third string
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: then rookie quarterback. So it we've talked about. Milroe has progressed.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: He's had a good camp and really strong in the
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: last week or so with his accuracy much improved. And
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: he talked about the running game. It's why he's here.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: He's here to run the ball, the Shanahan outside zone system,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: a continuation of Clint Kubiak, and why MacDonald hired him
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: last year before the Raiders stole him away the day
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: after the Super Bowl to be their new head coach
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: to replace Pete Carroll. And when he was asked, you
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: heard Flurry there ask and you see where the exacting
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: persona that they talk about, the perfectionist side of Brian
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Flurry coming out. Asked about where the run game is
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: right now. Nine practices in the camp quote, I want
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: us to be better. We're moving in the right direction.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: We've been efficient in practice, but I see things through
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: a different lens. It's not the success of the play
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: in the practice field. I'm looking at everyone's alignment and
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: technique and there's a lot of room for growth there.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Not to say we're doing poorly, but I expect to
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: be an extremely reliable portion of our game. And it's
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: not there yet. The run game for the Seahawks up
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: on which everything is predicated, Brian Fleury is saying it's
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: not there yet and he wants more details and more
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: exacting alignment assignment technique. And that's what some of Thomas
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Hammock was yelling about on Hard Knocks last night, very
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: colorful language to his running backs.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they really let it fly. I forgot it was
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: on HBO.
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: I was like, WHOA like, you know, the radio producer
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: and me just reaches for a dump button every time
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: I hear it.
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: And then I was like, oh, I'm watching HBO, right, forgot.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Well, it was interesting about that. Thomas Hammock, the running
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: back coach who was the Northern Illinois head coach college
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: football last year, he doesn't that's not his persona on
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: the field. I'm five feet away from him sometimes during
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: the running back drills to begin in practice and he's
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: not like that. He's not ranting and Raven and f
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Boman And maybe it's because he knows there's fans about
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: twenty yards away from him. But yeah, that was a
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: different side of Thomas Hammick and that's a much more
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: of a ball thing for sure. Your first impressions of
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Brian Flurry four nine, four five one, and then to
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: come at oute Tech sign or the talkback app, the
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app or nine through three KJR con the red
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: microphone button. What are your impressions to the new offensive coordinator?
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: What are you expecting to see the Seahawks do differently.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: I've told you tight ends down the field. AJ Barner
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: with a huge chance of a breakout season now that
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: he's healthy following his two off season surgeries of surgery
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: and ankle. The running backs getting more pass patterns than
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: they've ever had, and there were ball lives from Brian Flurry,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: and how much Jedarian Price is already being used in
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: the passing game. That's something I don't think they're practicing
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: for nine straight practices to not use during the season.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: And that's what I've seen so far. To Brian for
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: quick motions right before the snap. That's a lot like
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay and some of Kyle Shanahan's staple of their
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: offenses of receivers getting leveraged right before the snap by
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: going in quick motion before the balls snapped. We're seeing
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: a lot more of that from Flurry in this camp
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: than the Seahawks did under Kubiak last year. Those are
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: some of the differences I'm already seeing with the offense.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: We'll see when the games get going. As you heard
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: them say, we're not going to install everything until there
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: are opponents and game plans, which is another interesting They're
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: not rolling everything out. They're working on a lot of
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the basics and then going to work during the season
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: on the rest of fine tuning and being more specific
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: during game weeks of course. The first game week September ninth,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: the NFL kickoff game against New England at Lumenfield. Up next.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Your chance to be a part of the show. We
• 58:26

  Speaker 2: Just beens hoping to play some of those back. Maybe
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: it's about hard knocks and your first impressions. Last night,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: that's what I started the show with.
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: Oh your favorite shirt?
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you like? What did you learn? What

• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: you still have a rally.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: That's true, yes, but it helps me out. If he
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: sent him in earlier, then I.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 15: Feel lost.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: On the text line to coming out of text line
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: four nine four or five one four two five. What
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: I learned on hard knocks was how sparse Mike McDonald's
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: office was. He had some stuff on his desk, but
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: the wall behind him was completely blank, nothing on him.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Is this just his personality showing no nonsense, no frills. Yeah,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: that's some of that. There wasn't the opposite wall. There's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: a Michigan helmet. He coached one year as a defensive
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: coordinator for Jim harbaughd Michigan before he became the defensive
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens as a Georgia helmet, where
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: he went to school as an undergrad and became a
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: coach for the first time as a graduate assistant by
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: hanging out at the Starbucks right next to the football
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: facility at Athens, Georgia, University of Georgia and handing out
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: playbooks that he had homemade playbooks to the Georgia staff
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: before one of them finally took one and made him
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: an unpaid GA. That's a true story. I love that.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: That's how he got his started college unction.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: It actually reminds me of John Schneider's story of riding
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: his bike up to Ron Wolf's office.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: That's Green Bay.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the pair was about a five minute ride away.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I will say though with hard Knocks coming in,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: like that's for instance, my mother in law got to
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: town last night and staying with us, Like our house.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: Is really clean and so like if.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: Hard Knocks is coming in, wouldn't she I don't think
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: that's sparse. It's basically like decluttered, you're not gonna see
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: all the sausage you're you're gonna like, he's not gonna Also,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: he's probably got playbooks all over the place schemes this
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: that he doesn't want that on national television for other
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: coaches to see.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: You notice when they showed the depth chart boards and
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: the magnet boards when they had the head trainer had
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: athletic trainer talking to the GM about players and availability
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: and saying the running back position was a little fin
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: for instance, that the names are blurred out. Yeah, Hard
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Knocks wasn't going about to show exactly what the see.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: No, I'm sure that's stipulation in that contract.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly. Remember they got the Seahawks got to review
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: that about thirty six hours before it aired, So if
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: they had anything they truly objected to, they could have said, I, no, no,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: we're not showing us take this out. Five five nine
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: says all I can say about the Poto is fifty
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: four percent looks really good, right now? That's true. That
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: would mean they were a yeah, what would mean that,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: you're right, Jess, when they would be by a few games,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: they'd be at first place.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: That is uh, that's a little rough looking back right now.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: It's a little rough.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Four devices hard Knocks emphasizes how the Seahawks coaching in
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: front office is far superior compared to Mariners management front
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: office personnel. The four to two five said this is
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: for the Mariners. This is on the players and the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: players only. These holes are all over in places where
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: the players are having horrible seasons. Two five three. So
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Depoto gets Ward, who bats sixty five at T Mobiles
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: Park since twenty twenty three, and calls that the best
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: right handed bat does the Poto know they play half
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: their games in Seattle two five three. So if the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: team is underachieving because they have talent, that doesn't afflect
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: that doesn't doesn't that reflect poorly on Dan Wilson's ability
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: to get his team ready and confident to perform. We've
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: talked about this. These are major league players. It's a
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: in high school. You don't need a raw Rock coach
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: to get players confident and ready to perform. You should
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: not and do not. And most major league managers don't
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: even come close to getting into that realm. They don't
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: need to. They're professionals and they paid handsomely for it.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: If they're not ready to play, that's a lack of
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: accountability on the player's part, not to me, not the manager.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: And I've covered major League baseball as a beat writer
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: for the secondment of me for the Oakland A's for
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: multiple years, and I never saw it as art how
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: the manager's job to motivate. And they had a young
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: team that was a twenty year old to Molder Hudson's
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Zeno Jombie.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, guys, Yeah.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: That's the team I covered in early two thousands, and
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: they didn't need anybody raw Rock coaching them like a
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: high school football coach, getting them ready to play. Yeah,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: they're professional ballplayers and they should be. That's on them.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: To me, you can disagree with me if you one,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: that's fine. And those don't like Dan Wilson, often use
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: that as one of the reasons that, hey, he doesn't
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: have him ready to play. It's not his job. His
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: job is to make the right moves and when he
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: sees something that needs to be fixed during a game,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: make it. And you can fault him for that, and
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: you can fault him for his bullpen decisions, yes, and
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: he has. But getting him ready to play in coffee
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: into plays, to me, not the job of a major
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: league manager because those players inherently should already have that,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: and that's on them for their own accountability. Somebody in
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: that we've talked about this too, Jessman. To me, someone
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: in that clubhouse needs to be a kick ass, turn
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: the table over guy, and they don't have that. Yeah,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: that I see that I've been with, and I've been
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: in that clubhouse and I covered him in the daily
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs last year, I didn't see a guy
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: even Kyl Rawley, I don't see a.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: Guy well he's a little bit yea kick ass.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Guy that just rips dudes for not being accountable to
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: their own performance.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was wondering if there was going to be
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: some players only meeting happening anytime soon. I'll be down
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: there again today, and I don't think the vibes are
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: going to be that great. They're usually pretty chilling a
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: long season, but we're kind of getting down a crunch
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: time as we're in August and there are four games
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: back in the division.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not trending in the right way. It is not.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: No, it is not, especially with the two new acquisitions
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: performing the way they did yesterday.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: Two oh six, when some Sounders talk Sounders played in
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: and won in caps the League's Cup last season. They
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: beat Messi and Inner Miami to win it. Yes, I'm
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: aware I was being somewhat facetious, but I said, what
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: is the League's Cup? Yeah, just making up that soccer
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: just tends to in the middle of nowhere have these
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: competitions in middle season two five three more. Bubo Bubbo
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: hasn't been Jake Bubbo hasn't been on the field for
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: more than a week now. He's got what I was
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: told was a hamstring injury. They haven't. Mike McDonald hasn't
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: commented other than to say normal camp stuff, but hamstring
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: injuries don't always go away overnight. And Bobo was again
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: watching practice, coming out of the training room late yesterday
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: and watching practice. Same with Julian Neil, the rookie cornerback
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: and third round pick, has been out as bad as
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: long as has Jake Bobbo with a leg injury. Obviously
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: a leg injury, and those are valuable reps for a
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: rookie that he's missing right now. And they fall behind
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: quickly in training camp because nobody stops and waits, they
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: just move on. And Neils falling behind in the depth
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: chart and the installing and the performing every day, all
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: of that. The availability is the biggest ability for a
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: lot of players trying to make a first impression of
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: the team. Fact to the Mariners two oh six, I
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: think we're solidly on our way to losing fifty four
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: percent of our games, not winning them. That may be true.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: Direction two fight three. Let it be known the Mariners
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: are not going to make the playoffs. Maybe, so there's
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: still time. But I know you're tired of hearing man.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not. I'm not there quite yet, are you there?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Greg? Because I'm not because I know no one is
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: here this either. But this division stinks. And if you
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: get a six game winning streak like the trash Cans
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: just did, you go walla right in the first place.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: The Rangers did it last month, they had a five
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: game winning streak while they were in first place. The Mariners,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: by the way, play at Houston next weekend. Gary Hill
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Junior talked about that with us yesterday. The task for
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: the Mariners just to stay afloat until they get there,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: to stay within four games of the trash Cans before
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: they play in Houston next weekend, a week and a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: half from now.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, like you said, like one series can just
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: change everything.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, So I'm not. Yeah, I'm not in despair yet.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: I'm in disappointment, but I'm not in despair just because
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: I believe in the talent that they have on the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: roster that we just have not seen blossom as much
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: as we'd thought to.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Four to five. On the Hard Knocks episode last night,
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: don't even know what Witherspoon's wigged out about Josh Schnyder's
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: comment maybe the Hawks actually didn't offer him top of
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: the market. Four five said Hard Knocks Episode one was
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: boring All Caps two exclamation points three.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: I don't find it boring. I thought it was interesting.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting, and I cover the team
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: and I'm out here every day. I thought it was interesting.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Three to six. Oh absolutely love loved in All Caps
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: the first episode of Hard Knocks, and it time timed
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: it perfectly to turn off the awful baseball The Mariners
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: is playing well. Last year was fun for baseball. Hopefully
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks make up for it again this year, s M.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 13: D H.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: Mariners.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Well, you can't, yes, darn it.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: You can't say that the Mariners season wasn't exciting last
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: year though it was electrifying.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Yes it was. Yeah, they've ever been to the World Series.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: Yes exactly, And I mean I get that it was
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: disappointing in the end. But saying that they're making up
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: for the Seahawks can make up for the excitement. The
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: Mariners were gosh darn exciting.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: Two oh six Thomas hammock lots of F bombs. I'm
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: sure some parents had some wide eyes when they sat
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: down to watch the show with their kids. Yeah, that's true.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: That's what you get on HBO.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah it's HBO. That's on the parents.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: Or you just say okay, they're coaches and they say that,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: you don't say that.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Two O six said, I don't like seeing Sam drop
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl ring when I'm unboxing it. I did
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: notice that they did show that.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: I think it was fun.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't a football don't worry about it. From
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: the three six, the Mariners have no teen chemistry or leader.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 3: That's why they're at where they're at. I think they
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: have chemistry, but there.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Is a listless list of their performance when they fall behind.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 10: Isn't there?
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Like there isn't the rally that we had. And I
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: feel like like Gino was the guy. He was like
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: the human crazy glue in that clubhouse, and he was
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: that guy even when he was not performing well, he
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: could be that guy. And I don't want to compare
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: anyone in that clubhouse to him. But the listening, Yeah,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: that that lack of rally.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: The crowds great.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: I can't be the only one when I watched the
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Mariners when they fall behind, thinking this game is over,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: even if it's like to nothing. Why is why is
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: a team that talented that got within eight outs of
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: the World Series last year.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: Make you feel that way, Well, I think it's such.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: It's because of what we've seen.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's so odd. Yeah, just don't when they lose,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: they're just rolled over dead lost. Well yeah, my impression.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of it is what we've seen,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: the dependency on the home run where you know, last
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: last night, and when it became it wasn't two nothing
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: for me, it was four nothing, like a too nothing score.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: I'm like, fine, a four nothing score. I'm like, I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: don't know. It's not this because they're you gonna hit
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: four home runs because that's what we're depending on for scoring.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Yep, It's true. Home runs are best.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: And my ward was you know, added to this roster
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: is because he's not necessarily the big home run guy anymore,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: but his ability to get on base and his walk
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: percentage is so high that you're like, okay, but I
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: put that guy in traffic.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: Let's go right, not like car traffic. Everybody knows what.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, Chris, he goes oh for three and that
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: kind of works against.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: The Yeah, that's for a first time at the park.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Two five. I am wrong, you are wrong, Greg Dan
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: needs to motivate when not playing up to capabilities and energy.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: That this team's doll. I agree about the doll part
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: for sure. Two six agrees with that. Texter. It is
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: Dan Wilson's job to hold them accountable. I'm boy, Donovan
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: and Ward Short fit in with the other guys. Last night.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: It was one game. Yes they did yes, they did.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: Well well, So we're just gonna see. We're just going
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: to see. We'll see what happens tonight.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: Like sometimes one game, look look at what else happens
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: in the division. All of a sudden, all this goes away.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: We're such fickle fans around here.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: But I will say this, people deserve to be upset.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Fifty years.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: Have every right.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: All of these opinions coming in are one hundred percent acceptable.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 3: They're all your opinions, and it's how you feel right now.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: If any fan base in professional sports in North America
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: deserves to be mad, it's the Mariner.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: Fan Seattle in general, to be honest.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but man, fifty years without a World Series, I
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: hate Yeah.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: Not gonna win. Just an appearance up next here from Seahawks.
• 1:13:12

• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: thirty up next I in Fornas will tell us what
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: he's got going on. By from Seahawks training camp on
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: ninety three point three kJ r f M. Hi, welcome back,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Greg Bough, joined now by Ian Fornasa mayor Maple Vattle
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: here at Seahawks training Get Jessamin mcintirebacker Elliot Day Studios
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: on ninety three point three kJ r f M. Hello, sir,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Hello are you? I mean well, sir? Well did you
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: watch Hard Knocks? Ass? Oh?
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 12: Absolutely, the whole family did. It was a big, big deal,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 12: really big deal.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: What'd you think?
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 12: I thought was good? You know, I thought I thought
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 12: it was good. I thought it was really good. I
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 12: think it's for us. You me, others are here every
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 12: single day and have been for fifteen to twenty years,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 12: probably look at it differently than a fan would.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 12: I mean, I honestly think kind of the cool thing
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 12: was seeing all the visuals of hey.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 13: That's where we're at all the time. You know.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, so that was awesome. McDonald came across in an
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 12: interesting way. I thought, not bad. He's just a nerd
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 12: he is, and disgre himself that him that, yeah, in
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 12: a good way, and I thought that was I thought,
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 12: he I mean, he's you can see, I thought, really
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 12: with him, you can see why today's player relates to
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 12: him so well. He's a hard ass when he needs
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 12: to be. When he scolds a guy like the Rose
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 12: Britty Russell stuff was perfect, dude, And I love the
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 12: input from Adam Dirday on it, like, Okay, like Russell's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 12: been chirping Hall about you're not the same guy.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: That's a good assistant coach to the head.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 12: Great head great because gives them context.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, I just want to let you know this. Yeah,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: guys might have heard.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 12: This, And honestly, part of it is the defensive coach
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 12: standing up for his defensive guy. I think that's probably
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 12: about sixty percent of it, maybe more.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: But Dirty also knows that other players heard that. Absolutely.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 13: If Brady Russell's saying that, other guys are.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: Saying that, yes, which is an issue, that's right.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 12: And I would be I would bet your dollars to
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 12: donuts that. A very quiet conversation also took place with
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 12: McDonald and Hall absolutely about Hey, I love the truck.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 12: You bu do your thing. Don't change who you are.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 12: Remember where you came from, which he did. He bought
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 12: his mama house and all those things. But when you're
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 12: in the locker, remember where you came from, remember your
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 12: story of being an infant, and just remember where you came.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: And don't cheap shot at the teammate I wrote the
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: time I wrote that the cables, right, Yeah, I'm behind
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: with an album in the back of the head.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that. That's so I thought it was.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 12: In some ways, it's the perfect training camp fight, right.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 12: It's like learning, learning tool, learning experience. I I just
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 12: I love how McDonald came across the Witherspoon news. We'll
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 12: get into that.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: What do you think of John Schneider and his comments
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: and his dealings with someone you know better than I.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: R Rapaport and Devin Witherspoon in the car with an
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: open ended mic like open mic night at a bar.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I thought it was. That was an interesting insight
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 12: into both sides. First, you said it perfectly earlier. It's
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 12: It's also gives fans a little feeling as to how
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 12: the sausage is made. There's no such thing as a leak,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 12: whether it's in at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania, Olympia, Washington, or
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 12: across sports in the NFL. Everything's done with a purpose. Yes,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 12: and you I'll give you this.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 13: You give me that.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 12: Rap got something from someone somewhere and it wasn't Schneider,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 12: it was.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 13: An agent and blah blah blah. All these things happen.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 12: And you're right though, I mean, when Witherspoon size is
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 12: contracted one hundred percent, it's going to be in a
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 12: rapaport that breaks it.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: It's not the ones that are out here every day
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: to ask him the question.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 12: But he also like, here's the thing. You and I
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 12: both know this. I know this well because I had
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 12: Rap on the show weekly for about ten years. He's
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 12: gonna be here on Friday, by the way, on your show. Yeah,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 12: we'll have him on the show. But Rapp and Schneider
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 12: have a great relationship. They talk all the time. So
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 12: that wasn't like out of the ordinary for him to
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 12: like say, hey, I'm gonna call Rap and blah blah blah,
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 12: we're gonna get this stuff square away.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: And that report is built. Rapport is with rap aport
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: is built over many years and many transactions.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 12: Quid pro q it's it's built with that, it's it's
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 12: there's a truck factor.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: And because he's never here, that's how I rapport.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 12: Last time he was here was I want to say,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 12: twenty sixteen.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it took the Sea Orks to win a Super
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Bowl for this.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 13: He came here the couple of years.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 12: He was coming here every year for a while, but
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 12: the last time it's been probably at least ten years.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you got going on today?
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 12: Pud Clark's gonna join us right as you've been reporting.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 12: He's working with the ones he is, So we're gonna
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 12: talk to the second round draft pick coming up here
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 12: right off the top of the show.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: Big week for him. Yeah.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 12: Well, we're gonna check into the Portland situation again and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 12: how it relates to Seattle and the NBA coming back
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 12: here with the Sonics and everything else.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 13: It's a mess.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 12: I can just tell you that Jason Quick and the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 12: Athletics gonna join us in the one o'clock hour and
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 12: we'll get into last night's baseball game.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 13: We got a lot to say about that too.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Man, I thought you might have an emergency.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 13: Let's listen. Nobody needs to encourage that.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: The infness is up next to talk about all of
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: that and more from Seahawks training again. Jesson, Mcinhard, Greg Bol,
