Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 0:00Speaker 2: By now you should recognize that song because we've been
- 0:03Speaker 2: playing it all month long our Seahawks one series, which
- 0:06Speaker 2: I know, I know what I said Friday that we
- 0:08Speaker 2: were concluding the Seahawks one series, but we're going extended
- 0:11Speaker 2: edition for a reason, which I'll tell you about in
- 0:14Speaker 2: a moment. But let's get the hours started by telling
- 0:17Speaker 2: you how to win some cash. We got two hundred
- 0:19Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars burning a hole through our pocket,
- 0:21Speaker 2: apparently at iHeartRadio, and so they launched this two hundred
- 0:25Speaker 2: and fifty thousand dollars USA giveaway to celebrate our nation's birth.
- 0:29Speaker 2: And so for the last I don't know several years,
- 0:33Speaker 2: feels like I've been giving you a word at eight
- 0:35Speaker 2: o'clock to take to our website ninety three three kjar
- 0:40Speaker 2: dot com and enter for a shot at twenty five
- 0:43Speaker 2: hundred dollars in cash. So you can get twenty five
- 0:46Speaker 2: hundred dollars of that two hundred and fifty thousand, and
- 0:49Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, it's a lot more than I'm getting.
- 0:51Speaker 2: So go ahead and take the keyword birthday to ninety
- 0:54Speaker 2: three three kjar dot com. Enter it for your shot
- 0:58Speaker 2: at twenty five hundred dollars and cash. Your next chance
- 1:01Speaker 2: to play is at eleven o'clock. And so, yes, the
- 1:04Speaker 2: Seahawks One series something we do every June. It's one
- 1:07Speaker 2: analyst in town or out of town breaking down one
- 1:10Speaker 2: key Syhawk player for one entire interview. We did four
- 1:13Speaker 2: full weeks of it, and yet no one chose Leonard Williams,
- 1:16Speaker 2: and no one chose nick Em and worry Ashley and
- 1:19Speaker 2: I thought that was unacceptable. So we've extended it by
- 1:22Speaker 2: two installments into this week, and to handle it properly,
- 1:28Speaker 2: we're bringing in our two big guns, you mellon tomorrow
- 1:30Speaker 2: to break down nick Em and Warri and joining us today.
- 1:34Speaker 2: You can hear him at ten o'clock every day here
- 1:36Speaker 2: on KJR and all through the football season on Chuck
- 1:39Speaker 2: and Buck. It's our Seahawks insider Greg Bell to talk
- 1:42Speaker 2: some big cat Leonard Williams.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Good morning, Greg, Good morning.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Can you believe that no one took Leonard Williams?
- 1:49Speaker 3: Can you believe that Forrest from the Trees type of deal? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:55Speaker 3: he's a pretty big deal to them, especially Mike McDonald's defense.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Well, let's start right there. How big of a deal?
- 2:02Speaker 2: Put it in perspective what he's meant to this football
- 2:06Speaker 2: team since he put on that Seahawk uniform.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Well, he predates, of course McDonald. He got here in
- 2:12Speaker 3: the middle of Pete Carroll's last season, and then he's
- 2:15Speaker 3: had his two full seasons, the last two with the Seahawks,
- 2:18Speaker 3: and they've been as productive as any two back to
- 2:20Speaker 3: back seasons he's had in his entire twelve year career.
- 2:24Speaker 3: But he represents what McDonald wants to do across the defense, Chuck,
- 2:28Speaker 3: and that's multiplicity and a guy that can do multiple
- 2:31Speaker 3: roles that an offense doesn't know where he's going to
- 2:33Speaker 3: line up from snap to snap. He's a three technique
- 2:36Speaker 3: defensive tackle outside the guard. He's a five technique defensive
- 2:40Speaker 3: end outside the shoulder of the offensive tackle. He lines
- 2:45Speaker 3: up with the nose. He dropped in the coverage and
- 2:48Speaker 3: fooled a Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the
- 2:51Speaker 3: Meadowlands a couple of seasons ago as a nose tackle,
- 2:54Speaker 3: dropping in the coverage, faking the blitz, intercepting it and
- 2:56Speaker 3: returning it ninety two yards for his first career touchdown.
- 3:00Speaker 3: So McDonald moves him as a chess piece. He's like
- 3:03Speaker 3: the defensive line version of Nicky Manworrey and Devin Witherspoon.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Moves him around so the offense doesn't know where he's
- 3:09Speaker 3: coming from. And the other thing he does is command
- 3:12Speaker 3: double teams. Two thirds of the time last year on
- 3:16Speaker 3: pass rush snaps he was double team. That was the
- 3:18Speaker 3: fourth most of any interior defensive lineman. So if you're
- 3:22Speaker 3: moving him around and the offense is devoting two blockers
- 3:26Speaker 3: to that guy, and then when you move him around
- 3:28Speaker 3: your defense and the offense has to chase him around
- 3:31Speaker 3: the formation, you're dictating to the offense. Leonard Williams allowed
- 3:35Speaker 3: on the defensive line allows Mike McDonald to dictate to
- 3:39Speaker 3: the offense, which is exactly what he was trying to
- 3:41Speaker 3: do when he got here from the Ravens.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Greg Bell is with us talking about Leonard Williams and
- 3:46Speaker 2: our Seahawks one series, and when he was coming out
- 3:49Speaker 2: of college out of USC, I mean there was talk
- 3:53Speaker 2: all football season long that he might be the number
- 3:56Speaker 2: one overall pick and then he gets taken by the
- 3:59Speaker 2: New York Jets that sixth overall, So I mean huge
- 4:02Speaker 2: expectations and he's had he had a really good career
- 4:06Speaker 2: before becoming a Seahawk. But since he's become a Seahawk,
- 4:09Speaker 2: as you said, the best football of his entire career.
- 4:12Speaker 2: And I don't know what he was like in New
- 4:14Speaker 2: York with the Giants or the Jets who he played
- 4:17Speaker 2: with previously, but you can't wipe the smile off of
- 4:20Speaker 2: his face right now as a Seahawk. As far as
- 4:23Speaker 2: you can tell in your reporting, what do you think
- 4:26Speaker 2: being a Seahawk, being a part of this defense with
- 4:29Speaker 2: Mike McDonald has meant to Leonard Williams.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Well. I see Carol talking about him from his USC
- 4:36Speaker 3: connections and how much when they played, especially the Giants
- 4:39Speaker 3: and a couple of times they played the Jets, how
- 4:41Speaker 3: much Leonard Williams just infects his personality in the locker room.
- 4:46Speaker 3: And I remember Carol talking about that when he was
- 4:48Speaker 3: with the Giants before the Seahawks played them a few times,
- 4:51Speaker 3: they'd had their eye on him, and Carol had his
- 4:53Speaker 3: eye on John Schneider had their eye on him for
- 4:54Speaker 3: a long time. And of course, as you mentioned, he
- 4:57Speaker 3: was drafted way too high for the Seahawks to get
- 4:59Speaker 3: him top six pick. He's had you could say, a
- 5:03Speaker 3: Hall of Fame type career. I know he doesn't have
- 5:06Speaker 3: a first team All Pro selection, which usually is the
- 5:09Speaker 3: way into Canton, or at least the quickest front doorway in,
- 5:13Speaker 3: but he's not playing twelve years on a defensive line.
- 5:16Speaker 3: Two of his last I know Pro Bowls come as
- 5:18Speaker 3: dime a dozen selections these days, but these two of
- 5:21Speaker 3: his three career Pro Bowl selections have come in the
- 5:23Speaker 3: last two years. He's the father of the He's like
- 5:28Speaker 3: the dad of the locker room and the defense. I
- 5:30Speaker 3: know that Marcus Lawrence is older, but he's got six kids,
- 5:33Speaker 3: so he's too busy being a dad at home. Lawrence
- 5:37Speaker 3: is something of a father to everybody else, and he
- 5:41Speaker 3: embraces that role. He's a culture center. He's a guy
- 5:45Speaker 3: that McDonald leans unheavily on his Veterans' Leadership Committee on
- 5:49Speaker 3: deciding team issues and what teams do and for what,
- 5:55Speaker 3: when they should travel, how much they should practice, should
- 5:57Speaker 3: they take a day off, should it be not in
- 5:58Speaker 3: pads today. Leonar Williams is the sounding board guy for that.
- 6:03Speaker 3: He's a commanding presence because of his longevity in the
- 6:06Speaker 3: league and his excellence and pedigree in the league. Guys
- 6:10Speaker 3: listen to him. He has that personality. He's a very
- 6:14Speaker 3: integral piece to what McDonald does. McDonald's system, the locker
- 6:19Speaker 3: room culture we talk about all the time that the
- 6:20Speaker 3: Seahawks say they won the Super Bowl because of it
- 6:23Speaker 3: doesn't work unless the players are empowered to be the
- 6:26Speaker 3: voice and to lead. Lena Williams is probably the chief,
- 6:30Speaker 3: one of the chief leaders of those voices in the
- 6:33Speaker 3: locker room. I often don't know what Mike McDonald's defense
- 6:37Speaker 3: would look like without him. I'm not sure what the
- 6:40Speaker 3: culture would look like without him. And having said that,
- 6:43Speaker 3: he turns just turned thirty two, going on thirty three,
- 6:47Speaker 3: and he's into his dozen years in the league. His
- 6:50Speaker 3: contract ends after this year, has got a void year
- 6:53Speaker 3: after the new deal they gave him a couple of
- 6:54Speaker 3: years ago. So they have a decision something of a
- 6:58Speaker 3: reckoning with him as he gets older. Do you keep
- 7:00Speaker 3: them for another go around beyond this year. I think
- 7:04Speaker 3: they're gonna see how he holds up. Playing seventy three
- 7:07Speaker 3: plus percent of the snaps like you did. Last year,
- 7:09Speaker 3: he was the most played defensive lineman, even more than
- 7:13Speaker 3: Lawrence and Reed and anybody and Murphy. At his age,
- 7:18Speaker 3: I'm not sure he can play seventy three percent of
- 7:20Speaker 3: the snaps again this year and still get the same production.
- 7:23Speaker 3: That's what they're going to try to do. But I
- 7:27Speaker 3: know McDonald as it stands right now, would love to
- 7:30Speaker 3: have him as long as he can coach and as
- 7:32Speaker 3: long as Williams as willing to play as that important.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Do they feel like they have the best tackle combo
- 7:38Speaker 2: defensively in the NFL with Williams and.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Murphy, Well, yeah, I think so because Williams can play
- 7:45Speaker 3: inside and out and allows Murphy to move as well.
- 7:48Speaker 3: It's not like they're just pigeonholeding the Here are two
- 7:50Speaker 3: interior defensive tackles right now. Murphy gets snaps outside of
- 7:54Speaker 3: defensive end as well, And it's not like you're just
- 7:57Speaker 3: moving Williams around and he's not productive of He's actually
- 8:00Speaker 3: no matter where you put him, he's producing. His last
- 8:04Speaker 3: two seasons, he's played thirty three regular season games. He
- 8:07Speaker 3: missed one. In the last two seasons, he has twenty
- 8:10Speaker 3: five tackles for losses. That's his most in back to
- 8:13Speaker 3: back seasons. He has fifty hits on the quarterback in
- 8:16Speaker 3: those thirty three games. That's his most of his career
- 8:18Speaker 3: in back to back seasons and he's got eighteen sacks
- 8:22Speaker 3: in those two seasons, eleven and then seven. You'll take
- 8:25Speaker 3: that more from a thirty two year old in his
- 8:28Speaker 3: twelfth NFL season. And so again allowing not only is
- 8:34Speaker 3: can they move him around? He's a force. They move
- 8:36Speaker 3: him around that they have to. The team has the
- 8:38Speaker 3: double team. Offense has the double team him, and that
- 8:41Speaker 3: frees up Byron Murphy for one on one reps. That
- 8:44Speaker 3: frees up Riley Mills, who will have a much bigger
- 8:47Speaker 3: role this year. Riley Mills is a real key to
- 8:50Speaker 3: Leonard Williams playing less, fewer snaps, less than seventy three
- 8:53Speaker 3: percent of the time this year and being more productive.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Mills is something like Williams and that he can inside,
- 9:00Speaker 3: he can play out. He was largely a defensive end
- 9:03Speaker 3: at Notre Dame and the Seahawks have moved him up
- 9:06Speaker 3: and down the line like Leonard Williams. How much can
- 9:08Speaker 3: Riley Mills in his first full season after that acl
- 9:12Speaker 3: tair robbed him of most of his rookie season, how
- 9:14Speaker 3: much can he capitalize on that Super Bowl sack and
- 9:16Speaker 3: how he was late in the season to help Leonard
- 9:19Speaker 3: Williams not have to play seventy three percent of the
- 9:21Speaker 3: snaps this year.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Our Seahawks inside of Greg Bell is with us from
- 9:25Speaker 2: the News Tribune. Of course, you can follow us coverage
- 9:28Speaker 2: of the Seahawks Atthewstribune dot com. You can listen to
- 9:30Speaker 2: him every day right here on Kjar at ten o'clock,
- 9:33Speaker 2: and we need him during the football season almost every
- 9:37Speaker 2: day at seven oh five right here on the Chuck
- 9:39Speaker 2: and Buck radio program. If you want to follow at
- 9:41Speaker 2: g Bell Seattle there on X. I also love the
- 9:45Speaker 2: stories Greg about how well Leonard Williams gets along with
- 9:49Speaker 2: the offensive lineman, how much he helps Grey's Abel make
- 9:52Speaker 2: his transition into the National Football League. I mean, I
- 9:57Speaker 2: do realize that they're all part of the same try.
- 10:00Speaker 2: But sometimes you will see in sports that pitchers will
- 10:04Speaker 2: gravitate toward pitchers, or defensive lineman will gravitate toward defensive lineman.
- 10:10Speaker 2: I love that he's an all encompassing leader on this
- 10:12Speaker 2: football team. I love the stories about he and trying
- 10:15Speaker 2: to make the offensive line better.
- 10:18Speaker 3: I've covered seage defensive lineman that fight with offensive lineman Campeah,
- 10:24Speaker 3: So yes, it's not a given Leonna Williams does that
- 10:27Speaker 3: he and de Marcus Lawrence both pull guys aside, especially
- 10:31Speaker 3: the younger players on the offensive line. Says, here's why
- 10:34Speaker 3: I'm doing this, and you can see him panami of
- 10:36Speaker 3: his pass rush moves to graysabel and training camp last
- 10:39Speaker 3: year to try to get 's able to develop a
- 10:42Speaker 3: counter to a twelve year Pro Bowl veterans' moves. Yes,
- 10:47Speaker 3: and there's a selflessness to that as well. Lena Willims
- 10:50Speaker 3: is a full Northwest guy. Now, I mean he went
- 10:52Speaker 3: to school and high school in Daytona Beach, Florida, went
- 10:55Speaker 3: to USC as you mentioned, of course, but he's bought
- 10:58Speaker 3: a house in Newport Hills above the York Training Facility.
- 11:01Speaker 3: He and his wife a new baby they just had
- 11:02Speaker 3: this offseason. He just went to Spokane this weekend for
- 11:06Speaker 3: the first time, Leonard Williams did. He was a judge
- 11:08Speaker 3: in the hoop Fest, the Dunk Contest, the three on
- 11:12Speaker 3: three festival in the streets of Spokane, and he said
- 11:15Speaker 3: he was blown away by Spokane and the fervor for
- 11:19Speaker 3: swoop Fest and the people there, and he was leading
- 11:21Speaker 3: chance and they hawk chants and he'd never been to
- 11:24Speaker 3: eastern Washington, he said. So the point is he is
- 11:28Speaker 3: really ingrained in the community and the team and the culture.
- 11:34Speaker 3: I can go on and on about the impact he
- 11:36Speaker 3: has more than just x'es and o's to what Mike
- 11:39Speaker 3: McDonald's trying to set culture wise, And as we've said
- 11:41Speaker 3: many times, that culture is why they think they won
- 11:44Speaker 3: the Super Bowlina Williams gigantic piece of that.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've got a secondary here in Seattle that
- 11:50Speaker 2: gets a lot of attention. Nick Emon warri might just
- 11:53Speaker 2: be getting started. Witherspoon might become the highest paid cornerback
- 11:56Speaker 2: in the National Football League here in the next month
- 11:59Speaker 2: or so. So we have arguably the best wide receiver
- 12:03Speaker 2: in the game right now. But is there a better
- 12:06Speaker 2: room on campus over there and renting than the defensive
- 12:11Speaker 2: line group? Is that the strength of the team those
- 12:14Speaker 2: guys up front.
- 12:16Speaker 3: I think so, because if you don't have what they
- 12:19Speaker 3: have and you have to be four deep instead of
- 12:22Speaker 3: eight deep, and they're getting to eight, they're not quite
- 12:24Speaker 3: there yet. Riley Mills will be a big piece of that.
- 12:26Speaker 3: But if you don't have the depth and you don't
- 12:28Speaker 3: have the quality up front, teams will just run on you,
- 12:30Speaker 3: and then your perceived strength the secondary is not as
- 12:34Speaker 3: big a factor. Second, and two and third and one.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Your defensive secondary is in a little more trouble than
- 12:39Speaker 3: they are in third and eleven. And that's third and
- 12:41Speaker 3: elevens are what the defensive line brings them. And I
- 12:45Speaker 3: mentioned Williams. The reason he's played more snaps than anybody
- 12:47Speaker 3: on the defensive line is he's a run stopper and
- 12:50Speaker 3: a pass rusher and they don't want to take him
- 12:52Speaker 3: off the field, even at thirty two years old. Yes,
- 12:56Speaker 3: to answer your question, DeMarcus Lawrence was a huge piece
- 12:58Speaker 3: for them. Now get Dexter Fowler, Dante Fowler. Excuse me.
- 13:04Speaker 3: They they're getting older in the defensive line, but they're good.
- 13:08Speaker 3: How much can they stay good? Fowler's plus thirty. Lawrence
- 13:13Speaker 3: just turned thirty four. Williams is going on his age
- 13:15Speaker 3: thirty three season. Like I said, Jared Reid's going to
- 13:17Speaker 3: turn thirty three during this season. Chennon wils who suddenly
- 13:21Speaker 3: is going to be thirty years old during this season.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Can they still get super Bowl level production out of
- 13:27Speaker 3: that defensive line into their thirties? You're pushing it. The
- 13:31Speaker 3: NFL will tell you that when you start getting in
- 13:33Speaker 3: your early thirties, the production goes way down. The price
- 13:36Speaker 3: that goes way up, and that's when teams release just
- 13:39Speaker 3: so that they don't have diminishing returns. The Seahawks are
- 13:42Speaker 3: pushing that diminishing returns, but those signs yet of Leonard
- 13:46Speaker 3: Williams on diminishing returns, but they ain't last forever. So
- 13:51Speaker 3: can they get another season of productivity out of these
- 13:53Speaker 3: guys now that they're pushing mid early thirties like they
- 13:57Speaker 3: got last year. That's a huge key to whether the
- 13:59Speaker 3: Seahawks defense is number one against it again this year.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Is John at all disappointed that the league has become
- 14:05Speaker 2: more trade aggressive at the trading deadline because it kind
- 14:10Speaker 2: of feels like he's been ahead of the curve on
- 14:12Speaker 2: the entire league about making that big, bold move. I
- 14:15Speaker 2: mean he's been making it for a while. He's definitely
- 14:17Speaker 2: hitting the last three years with Williams and with Jones
- 14:21Speaker 2: and then this year with Shaheed. But I mean this
- 14:24Speaker 2: goes back to Sheldon Richardson, Jadevian Clowney. I mean, he's
- 14:27Speaker 2: been doing this for a long time, and finally the
- 14:30Speaker 2: rest of the NFL seems to have woken up like hey, wait, wait,
- 14:33Speaker 2: wait wait, you can get pretty good deals for quality
- 14:36Speaker 2: veteran players at the trading deadline. Why aren't we making
- 14:39Speaker 2: more moves at the trading deadline? John's probably pissed off
- 14:42Speaker 2: that they finally figured out what he's doing to help
- 14:46Speaker 2: his team mid season.
- 14:48Speaker 3: It's a good point they he has more competition now,
- 14:52Speaker 3: You're right. What teams have done around the league is
- 14:55Speaker 3: doing what Snyder has been doing for sixteen years, and
- 14:58Speaker 3: that's holding in reserve space on the salary cap. To
- 15:01Speaker 3: do that, when you trade for someone, it's a pro
- 15:04Speaker 3: rated rest of his contract for that year. If it's
- 15:07Speaker 3: right around the trade deadline the end of October, you're
- 15:09Speaker 3: about half a season. You owe half of his salary. Well,
- 15:13Speaker 3: you have to have salary cap space to do that,
- 15:15Speaker 3: and a lot of teams aren't willing to keep a
- 15:17Speaker 3: reserve space because they want to buy up players and
- 15:19Speaker 3: have max buying value before the season starts. Snyder's strategy
- 15:24Speaker 3: is to been to wait to see what they look
- 15:26Speaker 3: like during the season, where their holes are, and then
- 15:29Speaker 3: go fill it and Okay, we think we're good here, Oh,
- 15:32Speaker 3: we didn't expect to be deficient here, or we might
- 15:34Speaker 3: need this piece here. They save money to do that
- 15:37Speaker 3: because it costs money to add that on teams did
- 15:40Speaker 3: never used to do that. Teams used to be right
- 15:42Speaker 3: up against the cap at the end of training camp
- 15:44Speaker 3: when their rosters of fifty three were set. Snyder always
- 15:47Speaker 3: has extra ruins. Fans are saying, why do we have
- 15:50Speaker 3: all those cap space? They don't use it. They use
- 15:52Speaker 3: it to try to negotiate for the deal for a
- 15:54Speaker 3: guy that other teams can't afford. It's a good point
- 15:57Speaker 3: that other teams are catching onto that and the market's
- 16:00Speaker 3: you've got a little more competition for Schnyder.
- 16:01Speaker 2: And they're going to do it again this year. Yeah,
- 16:04Speaker 2: exact same. Well, yeah, it turns out injuries are a
- 16:06Speaker 2: big part of football too, so you never know where
- 16:08Speaker 2: you might pop up during the course of the season.
- 16:11Speaker 2: But my goodness, is he on a roll right now
- 16:14Speaker 2: at the trading deadline. That is just and it kind
- 16:16Speaker 2: of restarted with Leonard Williams. He kind of in a
- 16:21Speaker 2: strange way, Greg, I mean to the acquisition of Leonard
- 16:23Speaker 2: Williams seemed to be maybe the first step in building
- 16:27Speaker 2: this championship team that we've got right now. Is that
- 16:29Speaker 2: crazy to say?
- 16:32Speaker 3: No? Not, certainly on the defensive line, which is most
- 16:35Speaker 3: coaches will tell you is the start of your defense.
- 16:37Speaker 3: If your defensive line is getting run over, you're done.
- 16:40Speaker 3: You're not going to do pass rush, You're not going
- 16:42Speaker 3: to get coverage in turnovers and interceptions. Leonard Williams has
- 16:46Speaker 3: absolutely he's, as I said, the most played defensive lineman
- 16:50Speaker 3: they have at age thirty two.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, what do you got playing for ten
- 16:53Speaker 2: o'clock today?

- 17:46Speaker 2: an entire segment. Feel better. I feel better. I two
- 17:49Speaker 2: not entirely fulfilled.

- 17:55Speaker 2: able to move on from the Seahawks one series and
- 17:58Speaker 2: it will get It will dip into July, by the way,
- 18:01Speaker 2: which is a little against the rule.
- 18:02Speaker 4: It is, but it's worth it necessary.
- 18:05Speaker 2: So yes, we'll have you one tomorrow to talk about
- 18:08Speaker 2: Nick emon Warre. Coming up next though, it's Brunch Time

- 18:25Speaker 2: called Mariner this morning after and that's done every single day.
- 18:29Speaker 2: But sometimes you know what that eight o'clock audience at
- 18:33Speaker 2: nine o'clock audience like, I can't get up for that,
- 18:36Speaker 2: and I'd still like to hear a little bit of
- 18:38Speaker 2: a recap of the baseball game. So that's why we
- 18:41Speaker 2: provide this service. Welcome to the baseball brunch. It's delicious, Yeah,
- 18:45Speaker 2: it really is. Could you smell it? Yeah?
- 18:47Speaker 4: Yeah, cooking up right now?
- 18:48Speaker 2: Could you pass me maybe some chicken and waffles?
- 18:51Speaker 4: Oh yeah, here?
- 18:51Speaker 2: Can I throw them? Yeah, you can throw them a frisbee? Yeah, yep,
- 18:55Speaker 2: no problem, not the chicken, No, no, sorry, I got cat.
- 18:59Speaker 2: You got crusting. All right. Well, today's baseball Brunch is certainly.
- 19:07Speaker 2: I mean the stars of the game were George Kirby
- 19:10Speaker 2: our pitcher, and Cole Young our second basement. I mean,
- 19:13Speaker 2: they were the superstars of this game. George got off
- 19:18Speaker 2: to a little bit of a slow start. He allowed
- 19:20Speaker 2: to run in the very first inning, another one in
- 19:21Speaker 2: the third, and suddenly a struggling Mariners team that is
- 19:25Speaker 2: coming off one of its worst losses of the year,
- 19:27Speaker 2: coming off three straight series losses, dropped below five hundred
- 19:32Speaker 2: for the first time in a while heading into this game,
- 19:37Speaker 2: and now you're down two to nothing to one of
- 19:39Speaker 2: the worst teams in the world. Man, it just didn't
- 19:42Speaker 2: look good. And of all people to melt that ice,
- 19:45Speaker 2: it was Young Cole Young with a home run to
- 19:48Speaker 2: center field to make it two to one. And then
- 19:51Speaker 2: and the very next inning, finally a break for this team.
- 19:55Speaker 2: With two outs, Randy A Rose Arena is hit by
- 19:58Speaker 2: a pitch. Then an error committed by the angels third
- 20:02Speaker 2: baseman put runners not just at first and second, but
- 20:06Speaker 2: second and third, and cal Rawley came to the plate
- 20:10Speaker 2: and the cash.
- 20:11Speaker 1: In on that two out error a little loop and
- 20:15Speaker 1: signed down in Randy scorns through coming home. Neither is
- 20:21Speaker 1: say at the place tow rye elever Semam Mariners have
- 20:26Speaker 1: taken the lead.
- 20:28Speaker 2: A two run single for the Dumper made it to
- 20:31Speaker 2: three to two. At that point they took the lead
- 20:34Speaker 2: for the first time and never looked back. They rolled
- 20:37Speaker 2: to a six two victory, thanks in large part to
- 20:40Speaker 2: George Kirby, who did not give up another run, ended
- 20:43Speaker 2: up going eight strong and actually Ashley walked off of
- 20:47Speaker 2: the mound. I mean he was fired up walking off
- 20:49Speaker 2: the mound, but then by the time he got to
- 20:52Speaker 2: the dugout and the party that was waiting for him
- 20:55Speaker 2: George was all smiles.
- 20:57Speaker 5: He just looked like a little kid who had just
- 20:59Speaker 5: like got his first hit and he just walks in.
- 21:00Speaker 5: He's like just a big smile. I mean, just look
- 21:03Speaker 5: innocent and happy. And we don't see George that happy
- 21:07Speaker 5: that offense.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Yeah, well there's a reason why he's nicknamed furious George.
- 21:10Speaker 4: He was not furious, yes, oh.
- 21:12Speaker 2: No, he was a pagan poop yesterday. So George got
- 21:15Speaker 2: the job done. And then offensively, the team was really
- 21:19Speaker 2: carried by Cole Young. He was He was perfect at
- 21:22Speaker 2: the plate. He had a single the other way, which
- 21:26Speaker 2: was a gorgeous piece of hitting. He hit the home
- 21:29Speaker 2: run that started the scoring, and then he hit the
- 21:32Speaker 2: home run to end the scoring. So three for three,
- 21:34Speaker 2: three RBI, two home runs, first multi homer game of
- 21:38Speaker 2: Cole Young's career. And here he is after the game.
- 21:41Speaker 6: But really good. It was nice to just help the
- 21:45Speaker 6: team win today. It's got a state of my approach
- 21:49Speaker 6: and I didn't try to do too much. Let's go
- 21:53Speaker 6: through your head. The second one keeps going c off
- 21:58Speaker 6: his side. You had you hitted that bolt part of
- 22:01Speaker 6: the part before still just where you almost in awe
- 22:05Speaker 6: inspired by Yeah, I'm just probly I put a good
- 22:10Speaker 6: swing on it, got the job done. So yeah, it
- 22:15Speaker 6: was nice to to get a good barrel right there,
- 22:17Speaker 6: and definitely felt good.
- 22:20Speaker 2: To see you and Don and batting practice.
- 22:22Speaker 3: But they try to trade jobs off the hare cafe
- 22:25Speaker 3: or kind of one up each other a little bit.
- 22:27Speaker 6: How fun to do that any game? Yeah, it's fun.
- 22:31Speaker 6: I thank god it's a little more than than I did.
- 22:34Speaker 6: But that's always fun to compete with him, especially in
- 22:37Speaker 6: batting practice. But he's got a lot more juice and
- 22:41Speaker 6: I do, so it's hard.
- 22:42Speaker 3: To compete with him.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Did you remind you of that after the second month?
- 22:46Speaker 6: No, I don't think he did, but I'm sure tomorrow
- 22:48Speaker 6: he'll bring it up at some.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Point both you and Don.
- 22:51Speaker 6: Also, how old is you know? Someone's talking about the
- 22:55Speaker 6: struggle against South here just kind of the key for
- 22:58Speaker 6: you guys to maybe go to that. That's just working
- 23:03Speaker 6: your approach, not gonna worry about the hand something down there. Yeah,
- 23:07Speaker 6: that's the biggest thing is not you know, thinking too
- 23:10Speaker 6: much about oh he's a lefty, like seeing you so
- 23:13Speaker 6: much different. It's more so like, all right, let's create
- 23:15Speaker 6: an approach against this guy, and like let's stick to
- 23:17Speaker 6: it and like it's not going to do too much
- 23:19Speaker 6: and just stick to the approach and you know, hit
- 23:22Speaker 6: it hard somewhere.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Coley Young is never going to think that anything he
- 23:26Speaker 2: does is a big deal.
- 23:27Speaker 4: He's like, oh, don did it better.
- 23:29Speaker 2: I hope he stays that way. Yeah, that is such
- 23:32Speaker 2: a That would be such a cool trait to have
- 23:34Speaker 2: in a not just a professional baseball player, but somebody
- 23:37Speaker 2: that is now starting to project as he's going to
- 23:40Speaker 2: be a multi time All Star. He might even there
- 23:44Speaker 2: might even be a brush with superstartim. This dude's got power.
- 23:49Speaker 2: I mean that was the thing that jumped out most
- 23:52Speaker 2: about him to me last year was he had he
- 23:57Speaker 2: hit the longest home run of the season last year.
- 23:59Speaker 2: I don't know if he people realize that Cole Young
- 24:01Speaker 2: get the longest home run of the season, Wow, last year.
- 24:03Speaker 2: That's not in his portfolio, that's not in his scouting
- 24:06Speaker 2: report that I'd read. That he has this sneaky, not
- 24:10Speaker 2: pop that's power when you're in the ball four hundred
- 24:13Speaker 2: and sixty four and seventy feet that is power. And
- 24:18Speaker 2: this year you can tell he's a little broader, he's
- 24:20Speaker 2: a little thicker. He's like put on man weight at
- 24:23Speaker 2: this stage in his life. And obviously they've got him
- 24:26Speaker 2: in the weight room as well. But he now fills
- 24:28Speaker 2: out a jersey, which he didn't a year ago. And
- 24:32Speaker 2: so I said at the beginning of the season, he's
- 24:35Speaker 2: going to get twenty home runs this year. He was
- 24:39Speaker 2: tore it in the spring and he hasn't quite delivered
- 24:42Speaker 2: on the being the power source so far this season.
- 24:46Speaker 2: He's more delivered on being just steady eddy defensively and
- 24:52Speaker 2: a reliable bat. When Cole comes to the plate, we
- 24:54Speaker 2: feel pretty good about it, don't we. Yeah, no matter
- 24:57Speaker 2: what time.
- 24:57Speaker 3: In the game.
- 24:58Speaker 2: I mean, doesn't mean he's going to get it. Hadn't
- 25:00Speaker 2: had a great year. It's not like Tony Gwyn coming
- 25:02Speaker 2: to the plate. But you don't have a You feel
- 25:05Speaker 2: like you got a chance every time Cole Young comes
- 25:07Speaker 2: to the plate, because he usually gives you a good
- 25:09Speaker 2: at bat. But I'm telling you he was always described
- 25:12Speaker 2: as a floor guy. It's gonna be a high floor boy.
- 25:15Speaker 2: He's just gonna be He's a gamer. He's gonna get
- 25:17Speaker 2: that uniform dirty. You know, he's gonna hit for a
- 25:20Speaker 2: decent average. He's gonna play very good defense. He's gonna
- 25:23Speaker 2: run the base as well. But what we've seen this
- 25:26Speaker 2: year is, man, this guy's got a ceiling. This guy's
- 25:30Speaker 2: ceiling that was underreported when he was coming up through
- 25:33Speaker 2: the ranks. And man, you see him go dead center
- 25:36Speaker 2: last night for a home run and then off the top.
- 25:39Speaker 4: Yeah, hitt cafe.
- 25:41Speaker 2: On his on his second home run of the day,
- 25:44Speaker 2: and then the beautiful inside out swing to left center
- 25:48Speaker 2: field for the base hit. And that's against two different
- 25:50Speaker 2: pitchers who are completely different from one another. Uh yeah,
- 25:54Speaker 2: that was that was some special stuff from him last night,
- 25:57Speaker 2: no doubt.
- 25:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:58Speaker 5: And I think too, just in having the comfort when
- 26:01Speaker 5: he comes up to the plate and knowing that you've
- 26:03Speaker 5: got a real chance to at least get on base
- 26:04Speaker 5: when he's up to bat. It's because, again of his demeanor,
- 26:08Speaker 5: he doesn't think anything he does is that big of
- 26:10Speaker 5: a deal. He doesn't walk up thinking, I got to
- 26:12Speaker 5: swing for the fences. This whole game's on my shoulders.
- 26:14Speaker 5: He's just got to go do what I know how
- 26:17Speaker 5: to do.
- 26:17Speaker 2: And then dom can Zones obviously come into his own.
- 26:21Speaker 2: He's our number three hitter right now. I mean Cal
- 26:23Speaker 2: Rawley's hitting six and Dom Canzone's hitting third, who had
- 26:26Speaker 2: that not predicted that at the beginning of the year,
- 26:28Speaker 2: Not me, but for nine zeros. At this point, I've
- 26:32Speaker 2: already talked about this the last hour. I mean, he's
- 26:35Speaker 2: he's earned every day reps lefties and righty's. He should
- 26:39Speaker 2: be in the lineup every day. And Cole already wrestled
- 26:43Speaker 2: second base away from anyone that thought about playing second
- 26:45Speaker 2: base for the Mariners in the next ten years, you
- 26:47Speaker 2: can forget about it. So to have those two sort
- 26:50Speaker 2: of kind of entrenched right now, as far as I'm concerned,
- 26:55Speaker 2: I think those are two good pieces to have figured
- 26:57Speaker 2: out this year. I know there are a lot of
- 26:58Speaker 2: things we haven't figured out this see, but those are
- 27:01Speaker 2: two good things to have figured out along with Emerson Hancock.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that we're getting contributions like this
- 27:08Speaker 2: from guys that we weren't expecting and we're still a
- 27:10Speaker 2: five hundred baseball team is lunacy.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree.
- 27:14Speaker 5: I Mean, we thought when Colt Everson got called up
- 27:17Speaker 5: that was much earlier than we expected him to be up.
- 27:19Speaker 2: And he's been really good too, really good. Yeah. Yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 2: So what did we learn today, kids on the baseball brunch, Well,
- 27:25Speaker 2: we learned that Cole Young looked locked in last night.
- 27:29Speaker 2: We also learned that George Kirby is locked in. That's
- 27:33Speaker 2: four straight quality starts for him, and he's gotten better
- 27:36Speaker 2: with each start. Forget about scrap the piggy bank, you know,
- 27:41Speaker 2: because George Kirby doesn't want to hear any piggyback talk
- 27:45Speaker 2: right now. The way that he's pitching, he's sort of
- 27:48Speaker 2: announced to the world that he's in a groove himself.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Another thing we learned is that the M's played a
- 27:54Speaker 2: complete game last night for the first time in a while,
- 27:58Speaker 2: and they even fell behind two to nothing. But of
- 28:00Speaker 2: course that's two to nothing in the third inning. Dan
- 28:03Speaker 2: hadn't given up.
- 28:04Speaker 4: Yet, right, we needed one more inning?
- 28:07Speaker 2: Yeah, by the six, when we're down too, that's when
- 28:10Speaker 2: you quit. Everybody, it's over. Everybody in baseball knows that.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Uh.
- 28:15Speaker 2: And then the last thing, and yes, we did learn this.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I didn't share this in the recap though, But even
- 28:22Speaker 2: when George made things as easy as he could on
- 28:25Speaker 2: his manager by going eight innings of pitching in the
- 28:29Speaker 2: modern day, I gotta be honest with you, I still
- 28:34Speaker 2: think he screwed up the bullpen decision. And I didn't.
- 28:37Speaker 6: I don't.
- 28:37Speaker 2: I do not necessarily that Ferrer was chosen over Munos.
- 28:41Speaker 2: But what have we talked about with mun Jos. He
- 28:44Speaker 2: needs to pitch more frequently. You left him standing and
- 28:49Speaker 2: stalking on Sunday, never even got into a close game,
- 28:52Speaker 2: and we blew it.
- 28:53Speaker 4: Yep.
- 28:54Speaker 2: And now now we've gone another day without him pitching,
- 28:57Speaker 2: and the statistics beare out. He likes to pitch right regularly, yep.
- 29:01Speaker 2: So you're giving him another day. And then if we
- 29:04Speaker 2: win twelve to two tonight or lose seven to one,
- 29:07Speaker 2: then he won't pitch again tonight.
- 29:10Speaker 4: And then they'll have tomorrow off.
- 29:11Speaker 2: And then they have tomorrow off. So this is the
- 29:14Speaker 2: risk here. I would have just gone straight to Mooney
- 29:17Speaker 2: last night, since Farrer's so fragile right now, I'd have
- 29:21Speaker 2: gone to Munhos. F the save. I don't care about
- 29:24Speaker 2: a stat what's best for the team, what's best for
- 29:28Speaker 2: the player. I would have gone to Munos. They didn't
- 29:31Speaker 2: do that, and they went to Ferrer. Okay, Okay, reasonable
- 29:37Speaker 2: minds can differ, but I would have definitely not had
- 29:41Speaker 2: Munyos pack up his bag. No, especially when Farrer puts
- 29:45Speaker 2: two guys on base and now I'm not going to
- 29:47Speaker 2: go to my closer. My closer is not ready to
- 29:49Speaker 2: come into the game. We go to Ferrer, but we're
- 29:53Speaker 2: not going to get our closure up. And I get
- 29:55Speaker 2: it he does. Earlier in the season he was having
- 29:58Speaker 2: difficult time walking into games with traffic on the base paths.
- 30:03Speaker 2: He'd been on an absolute freaking roll lately. I'm not
- 30:05Speaker 2: worried about that anymore. He's back.
- 30:07Speaker 5: But also if you are worried about that at all,
- 30:09Speaker 5: then again you should have definitely put him in to
- 30:12Speaker 5: start the ninth.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Yes, yes, for sure.
- 30:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:15Speaker 2: So I even think he screwed it up again last night.
- 30:19Speaker 3: I do.
- 30:20Speaker 2: I was question even though even though George took care
- 30:22Speaker 2: of ninety of the work.
- 30:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just surprised. Then in the ninth when
- 30:27Speaker 4: Ferrer came in. I was like, oh, okay, I would
- 30:30Speaker 4: have I would have gone with Moonee.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I would have gone with Munos, and I certainly would
- 30:33Speaker 2: have had Munyos ready if Farrer got into any trouble.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Now Ferrer ends up getting out of it, so good.
- 30:38Speaker 2: I guess it ends up being the right decision, or
- 30:42Speaker 2: at least a good decision, right. I don't think it
- 30:44Speaker 2: was the right thing.
- 30:45Speaker 4: It worked out.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, coming up next on the radio program,
- 30:49Speaker 2: the Kraken have gotten through the draft. They've toyed around
- 30:53Speaker 2: with Jason Robertson that kind of blew up in their faces.
- 30:58Speaker 2: So are we not trading Shane Wright. We'll talk about
- 31:02Speaker 2: in next Sports Radio ninety three point three KJRFM. All right, right,
- 31:18Speaker 2: Heally's gonna join us at nine o'clock. A lot of
- 31:21Speaker 2: stuff to talk about with Ryan Healey, the former Mariner,
- 31:24Speaker 2: joins us every Tuesday at nine o'clock, So we'll do
- 31:28Speaker 2: that coming up on the program. But all right, we're
- 31:31Speaker 2: through the NHL Draft and we're through the earliest phase
- 31:38Speaker 2: of like movement that took place, and the Kraken did
- 31:42Speaker 2: make a trade of significance and they did re sign McMahon,
- 31:46Speaker 2: So it's not like we're sitting on our hands to
- 31:48Speaker 2: this point. But heading into the draft, you know, obviously
- 31:52Speaker 2: the Jason Robertson story breaks and then he turns us down,
- 31:57Speaker 2: and I guess he turned several organizations down. He has
- 32:02Speaker 2: an agenda heading into where he's going to play the
- 32:06Speaker 2: next stretch of his hockey doesn't sound like it's going
- 32:08Speaker 2: to be in Dallas, but it sounds like it's going
- 32:11Speaker 2: to be in California, So he's trying to thread that
- 32:13Speaker 2: needle here going forward. So there might have been many, many, many,
- 32:16Speaker 2: many many reasons beyond the Kraken for why Jason Robertson
- 32:22Speaker 2: did not come to Seattle, but it did kind of
- 32:26Speaker 2: get kracking fans mouths already for a big time significant trade,
- 32:32Speaker 2: even beyond Marashenko or Samuskevitch.
- 32:37Speaker 4: I have Marshenko, Sammy Samuskevitch.
- 32:38Speaker 2: Sam Sev Samuskevitch. I have Marshenko in front of me.
- 32:42Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to talk about him. So even beyond Samuskevitch,
- 32:47Speaker 2: something even bigger and kind of feels like we need
- 32:50Speaker 2: something a little bit bigger. And then you go through
- 32:54Speaker 2: the draft and then you use the seventh pick. You
- 32:57Speaker 2: don't make the trade, you don't use that pick to
- 33:00Speaker 2: And now it sounds like, based on what we heard
- 33:02Speaker 2: from al that they're absolutely in love with who they
- 33:05Speaker 2: got with the seventh pick. Chase reied the defenceman. So
- 33:08Speaker 2: I don't think that you're going to have that kind
- 33:11Speaker 2: of love affair, of that kind of pr push and
- 33:16Speaker 2: then next week we just trade the young man you know,
- 33:19Speaker 2: it sounds like everybody's in love with the selections. So
- 33:22Speaker 2: are we going to make a big move or not?
- 33:25Speaker 2: Is Samy Skevitch going to be it? Is McMahon going
- 33:28Speaker 2: to be it? Are we going to make some sort
- 33:31Speaker 2: of if not Blockbuster, something close, something in the neighborhood
- 33:34Speaker 2: of Blockbuster. Are we going to get some veteran It
- 33:38Speaker 2: does sound like they still want to do that. And
- 33:42Speaker 2: if it's not going to be the pick, you know
- 33:44Speaker 2: who it's got to be. It's got to be Shane Wright.
- 33:47Speaker 2: It's got to be the person that you dangle that
- 33:51Speaker 2: has all that talent that somebody out there in the
- 33:55Speaker 2: NHL is going to say going to have the ego
- 33:58Speaker 2: to say we know how to coach that kind of talent.
- 34:02Speaker 2: They don't know how to do that in Seattle. So
- 34:04Speaker 2: it's gonna be so you're gonna be able to dangle them.
- 34:06Speaker 2: There's gonna be There are gonna be some interested parties
- 34:08Speaker 2: out there. But you wonder how good a player can
- 34:12Speaker 2: you get just dangling him coming off the season that
- 34:15Speaker 2: he's had, which has been a backslide. Obviously, Lane Lambert
- 34:20Speaker 2: not the biggest fan of Shane Wright. Otherwise he wouldn't
- 34:23Speaker 2: have demoted him four times during the season last year.
- 34:27Speaker 2: And then there might be another player or two that
- 34:30Speaker 2: could be available in a trade to make a bigger
- 34:33Speaker 2: package going forward. And it sounds like there might be
- 34:37Speaker 2: a couple of guys beyond Shane Wright that are a
- 34:40Speaker 2: little bit in the Lambert doghouse, and so there's still
- 34:46Speaker 2: gotta be some sort of trade out there available. Well,
- 34:50Speaker 2: one team out there that seems to be in sort
- 34:52Speaker 2: of the same boat are the Columbus Blue Jackets. The
- 34:55Speaker 2: Blue Jackets also thought they should be better right now
- 34:59Speaker 2: that they feel like the things that they've done, they
- 35:02Speaker 2: should be better than finishing fifth in their division like
- 35:05Speaker 2: they did a year ago. And so they might also
- 35:09Speaker 2: be abandoning a couple of guys that number one that's
- 35:14Speaker 2: just not working for them there, or number two they
- 35:17Speaker 2: don't believe that they can afford once the time comes
- 35:19Speaker 2: that they become free agents. And maybe the guy that
- 35:23Speaker 2: fits us the most, and it would take a blockbuster,
- 35:26Speaker 2: it would be take right and something else is kirol Marshenko,
- 35:31Speaker 2: twenty five year old winger who scored twenty seven goals
- 35:34Speaker 2: this past season sixty seven points this past year. I
- 35:37Speaker 2: mean that fits the bill. That's kind of what we need.
- 35:39Speaker 2: We need some sort of score. Somebody puts the biscuit
- 35:42Speaker 2: near the basket at least, and so somebody keep your
- 35:46Speaker 2: eye on if they're not done pursuing a big, significant
- 35:50Speaker 2: trade and it will take more than right. But it
- 35:54Speaker 2: sounds to me like not to throw anybody else under
- 35:57Speaker 2: the bus. It sounds like there's a group of players
- 35:59Speaker 2: that may they're not too happy with here in Seattle
- 36:03Speaker 2: that could be packaged together for something like Marshenko. So
- 36:06Speaker 2: maybe that's the next guy that we circle as a
- 36:10Speaker 2: possibility for Seattle, as he now seems to be available
- 36:14Speaker 2: from Columbus well.
- 36:15Speaker 5: And I would like to see them obviously still do
- 36:17Speaker 5: something because when we talked about the Robertson swing and
- 36:20Speaker 5: the fact that you know, it didn't hit, the one
- 36:22Speaker 5: thing I said was I like that they're doing that.
- 36:24Speaker 5: I like that they're taking that big, big swing and
- 36:26Speaker 5: seeing what happens. So I hope that's not the only
- 36:29Speaker 5: big swing.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there are other big swings to take.
- 36:32Speaker 2: I mean, Dylan Larkin's still out there from the Red Wings.
- 36:35Speaker 2: He seems to have the same Robertson list, Like, Nope,
- 36:37Speaker 2: I'm only going to be traded to one of these
- 36:39Speaker 2: three teams.
- 36:39Speaker 4: But you are run a trade me, Yeah right, I
- 36:42Speaker 4: love them.
- 36:43Speaker 2: Well, try to control his own destiny. I guess you
- 36:46Speaker 2: understand that. But apparently Jason Robertson's the most powerful person
- 36:51Speaker 2: in the world.
- 36:51Speaker 4: It's crazy.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't think they're done dealing. I think
- 36:55Speaker 2: they are going to make another big move. If it's
- 36:57Speaker 2: as big as Robertson, I don't know. Maybe that won't
- 37:02Speaker 2: come together, but I have a feeling that they've got
- 37:05Speaker 2: another big move in mind before this offseason comes to
- 37:08Speaker 2: a close. All right, Ryan Healil join us Next Sports
