  Speaker 2: got like an over four on basis three against lefties

  Speaker 2: right handed bat the Mariners needed. His on base percentage
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: already is like way ahead of anybody in the Mariners lineup.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: He might be the leadoff better Tonight, MARRINERGS GM Justin
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Hollander told the team's flagshit radio station Luke Rayley's likely

  Speaker 2: point three KJRFMS we are every ten am to noon
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: on every weekday. Good morning, jess.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Man, Good morning.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah again when you mentioned the smoke, our hearts go
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: out to everyone in the eastern side of the state.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: You know, I was speaking to people with you need
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Way for my weekend show Seattle Boys, And there's a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: lot of kind of because Spokane is such a big
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: area forgotten towns that are also being throttled by this,
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: and we want to know our hearts are out with everyone.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Mead Shealanne, Yep, nine Mile Creek.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: It's Zakama.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's man. It's the way of the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: world here every summer. But wow, then yeah, echo what
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Jessamine said. Good luck to everybody. They are on the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: east side out here today they're going to be probably
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in full path. Yesterday they were in shells and shorts,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: which surprised me. After a day off Sunday, they didn't
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: have practice, and then they came back yesterday somewhat lighter.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's practices are long. They're longer this year than
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: they were in the first two camps. They were almost
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: three hours again yesterday. They were almost three hours on Saturday.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: But a lot of them is slow pace walking through
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the installation. They're doing a lot of the installing of
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the playbook right now. The meat of it, they go
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: fast and normal speed when it's plays they know base things,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but when they're installing in new things on offense and defense,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: they go slow. They walk through, and there's a large
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: portion of practices an hour or so that is in
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a walk pace that there isn't a whole lot of competition.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: It's a ton of learning going on. That's different. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: asked McDonald about that yesterday and he said, yeah, we're
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: still trying to perfect that. And he basically said I've learning,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I'm evolving from the first year to now, and that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he did a lot of things wrong in the first
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: training camp that he wanted to correct and he thought
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the teaching part on the field is more meaningful than
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: the whiteboard. That's why the CX have been going almost
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: three hours at times. It's not physically pounding. I think
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: these testing their mental conditioning as well as their physical odor.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Well, it chose to be a big part of the game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And if you don't know the offensive defense,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you can't play. So they're taking their time and walking
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: through the new stuff and there's a lot of new
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: stuff going in right now. Also, new rookie Bud Clark
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: makes his move. We'll talk about that on the show today.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: He's now in the starting defense, or at least splitting
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: time at the starting defense in two different roles. We'll
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: talk about the second round pick from TCU making a
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: move there in the starters. Ten twenty or so, We're
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: gonna talk to Gary Hill Junior, the Mariners broadcaster play
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: by play on radio, about this somewhat tweaked marrion, not
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: brand new Mariners, but somewhat tweaked. They've got a right
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: handed bat, Taylor Ward, arriving tonight. Assumingly he's going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: be in the lineup after arriving from Baltimore in the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: trade yesterday on the off day. They got a new
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bullpen arms, Sir Anthony Dominguez, who was with Toronto and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the Alcs against the Mariners last year and then was
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the White Sox closer to begin the season. You heard
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: us talk to Scott Murkin yesterday, the White Sox beat
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: writer from MLB dot Com, saying that Sir Anthony Dimingez
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: has gotten a lot better since they took him out
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of the closer role about a month or so ago,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and he's pitched really well the last few weeks, he'll
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: most likely slot into that type of a primary setup role.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He instantly, Jesmine. Interestingly, he interestingly instantly becomes the highest
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: paid reliever of the Maroons have ever had. He's making
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: ten million a year two years million dollars. So your
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: highest paid reliever is going to be your primary setup
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: guy for all star closer Andres Munos now at ten.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Forty pretty good.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah that and if he's right, I mean, there's a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: reason he's earning twenty million dollars in two years. When
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: he's right, he's one of the better setup guys in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the America League. Ten forty five, you'll hear from Sam Darnold,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the quarterback for the Seahawks, about what he likes about
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: all the hard knocks, cameras and microphones all over the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Seahawks training camp. First episode is tonight. So how it
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: works is if you have HBO Max and stream it
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: on your phone or your iPad or whatever the heck
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you guys gals stream.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Some people even do it on their television.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Ooh, he sounds like advanced. That's really advanced. If you
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: have Roku and Kuro and whatever, and you can do
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: it at six o'clock live as it's being shown on
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the East Coast HBO. If you don't have all those
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: streaming gizmos, then if you just have regular cable TV
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like a Neanderthal, I guess I got.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: You stands on that hill too.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: You're not alone.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I know. Used to be cable was cutting edge, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: now you're considered a throwback if you have cable television.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: So if you're a cable guy and you have HBO,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you can see it at nine o'clock tonight our time.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And the Seahawks have been talking about that the last
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: few days. There's a lot the news tribute. I put
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: this story up this morning about their thoughts about it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Some of them are indifferent already and say that they
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: don't even notice it, but they were preening for the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: cameras the first week or so. That's kind of cut
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: down a little bit lately.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Well, and we're going to hear from Sam Darnold about
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: it too in about a half an hour, Yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: And ten at eleven o'clock, forty five minutes, fifty minutes
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: or so. No, it beIN Ogamy's going to join us.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Sit down and talk to the veteran cornerback who is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: here playing nickel He started playing when he got to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the NFL. He didn't start playing cornerback until his year
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: or so into his time at Auburn University. In the SEC,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: he was a right wide receiver. Then now he's a
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: nickel corner. Mike McDonald talked to me yesterday about Igmanominy
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and the fact that they think he can play inside
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: as well as the outside corner that he used to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: be a starter for the Washington Commanders in Miami Dolphins. Man,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: does he love him some, Dan Quinn. You'll hear why.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: You will hear why he really likes, I mean almost
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: loves the defensive coordinator, former defensive coordinator for the Seahawks,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: of course, now the Washington Commander's head coach. And you'll
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: hear from Noah Iggmanogamy. Both of his parents are Nigerian Olympians.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: His mother was on the Nigerian Olympic four by four
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: hundred meter relay team at the nineteen ninety two Barcelona Games.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: His father, no Igbanogamy's father was on the long jumping
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: triple jump team from Nigeria. Their native country in the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: ninety six Games in Atlanta. In fact, no Ignanogameny was
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a track athlete in the long jump and triple jump
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: like his dad at Auburn. You gotta be pretty good
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to do sec track and football at the same time.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you'd think that is a primetime athlete right there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty athletic, and they like him. They need
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: a veteran presence in the secondary after the departure some
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of the departures Kobe Bryant Requill And by the way,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: we mentioned Kobe Bryant during the show yesterday going down
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: yesterday morning in practice and not being very it looked bad. Well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: it is pretty not season ending, but it's bad. Yeah,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: eight to ten weeks, so he, on the plus side,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: might get back late October early November for the Bears.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Of course, the Bears come in to Loomenfield to play
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks in a Monday night game in early November,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and that might be a target date for Kobe Bryant
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: to come back from his knee injury. Yesterday in Bear's
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: training camp, he's going to be out at least eight
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to ten weeks as the estimation.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: I hope he makes it bad for that and maybe
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: that's a motivation, you know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he would love to be back for obviously
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: would love to be back for that game, So that
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: could be a target date for him. After you hear

• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Seahawks eighth practice yesterday. Bud Clark's big day. What he
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: did was he was in the hybrid safety linebacker spot
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: that of course Nick even wore started as a rookie
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: last year. In fact, they're giving him the even worri
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: treatment in this camp. They're just fire hosing him. The
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: coaches are as much as Bud Clark can handle, just
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: like they did Eman Worriy last summer. And even worri
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: proved that he can handle just everything and he became
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: a dynamic one of the more dynamic players in the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: NFL and defense doing that, well, they're trying the same
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: thing with Bud Clark. This was Mike McDonald yesterday talk
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: about his rookie from TCU.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Well, uh, Bud's one of those rookies that are that's.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: We're asking a lot of them right now, and I'm
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: really impressed with how he's handling it. There's there's things
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: there's it's not perfect, but how he goes about his
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: business is what we're looking for. And I think he
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: needs to trust that he's gonna come out of the fog,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: you know, and take it from there. But I think
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: it's important to start building a relationship with those guys
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: and having a feel for, you know, the speed of
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: the game with the ones and how he communicate and
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: how we play.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And he's doing a good job, so that's an advancement.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I had not seen Bud Clark in that hybrid role
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: until yesterday. In eleven on eleven's the first week of camp,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: he was decidedly on the second team, barely playing in
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the first team at all, and when he did play briefly,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he was in prefend defense as a deep safety. He
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: was also deep safety yesterday, alternating in with Tyakatta and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a line next to Julian Love, and he also took
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: out the Anthony Bell and alternated in with the veteran
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: who had been in that hybrid role of Even Warriors
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: for the first week or so. McDonald's update on Even
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Warri was that things are positive, but nothing new. It's
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: a matter of weeks to weeks, not day to day
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: for even worry. I saw him out here Saturday. He
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: had a crutch that he wasn't quite using. He was
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: kind of propped up over his shoulder, and he had
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a lower right ankle brace on a softer brace on
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: a black brace that you'd see guys sometimes wearing basketball
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: or whatnot. And he was signing autographs for fans. He
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: didn't look imminent like he's coming back, but it's there'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: still expectation is that he can play in the opener,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: and in the meantime, Bud Clark is getting some of
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: his reps now for the first time, the second round
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: pick from TCU. Also the big news of yesterday that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I saw in practice. Sam Donald to Rashid Shaheed that
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: deep connection is working and it's so much smoother like
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: night and day compared to what it was last year
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: when she joined the team in November. And of course
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: it is right because he joined the team mid stream.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: There were times last year that Donald just didn't throw
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: it to his speed and underthrew him. I remember the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: NFC Championship game. The first two minutes of the game,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: she he's blazing down the right sideline, beat Williams the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: left corner for the Rams easy touchdown, but Donald underthrow
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: them and to be it was ended up being a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: fifty one yard catch. But Donald and Shaheed spent time
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: this offseason between the mini camp in June and the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: started training camp at the end of July back in
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: southern California where they're both from at Saddleback Junior College
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in Mission Viehill, working out on the field with routes,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and of course Donald's just from down the road from
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: there in San Clemente, and Shahid is from even a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: little further down the road in San Diego. And they
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: worked for those weeks, the six weeks that they were
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: off and you can see the connection is so much better.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: And that is the Seahawks plan is to have Shaheed
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: taking tops off of defenses with Tory Horton on the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: field at the same time. And when I brought that
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: up to McDonald, asking what kind of quandary that puts
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a defense, and he said, of course it does with
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the speed, but what we have to do on defense
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: on offense is stay balanced. We still have to block,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: we still have to run the ball. When those two
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: were in the field in the same formation, McDonald's point
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: was we don't want to have defenses be able to
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: pigeonhole us, to say, all and Shaheeda on the field
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: at the same time they're going deep. He wants to
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: do other things to be the counter to when they
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: array those two speechers on the field at one time.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But that's the Seahawks plan under new offensive coordinator Brian Flurry.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: That could be a new twist that the Seahawks didn't
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: get to enjoy last year, of course, because Horton missed
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: from November till the end four nine, four five one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: And Takumadad's text sign your excitement over Darnold and Shaheed's
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: connection and how different this offense can be this year
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: just with those two guys are on the field alone.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: We'll read your text back at eleven thirty. Up next
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to go Baseball, Gary Hill Junior, a great friend of ours,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Mariners broadcaster. He's gonna talk about how the Mariners are tweaked.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: They're a lineup in their bullpen heading into the last
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: two months of the season. That's next on ninety three
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: point three KJRFM. Welcome Back with Greg Bell's show. Is
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Jessmin McIntire at the Seahawks Virginia Mason Athletics Center for
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the ninth practice of Seahawks training camp. We have some
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: errata for you on the word we hear you on
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the text line we see you and we hear you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's all me. That is we'll we'll take a
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: p No, it is on me. I was looking ahead.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: So that's a hints to those who were saying in
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: that word doesn't work.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: You got the jump on me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: But yeah, this hour's word is green. So go to
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: nine through three KJR dot com and enter the word green.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: You're entered to win one thousand dollars.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: There's nothing like the text line of rata. Man, it
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: just lights up like a Christmas tree.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I just like that you're listening, and I always appreciate
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: corrections exactly.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: They're not shy about that. To see. The Mariners were
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: off yesterday, but they were doing more than just sitting
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: around doing nothing. They had a trade deadline day that
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: they acted upon in the morning. They got Taylor Ward,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the right handed bat on are the right handed bats
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: they need because he's an on base guy. He leads
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the league in walks is on basis like three eighty
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: is on basis over four of ten with against left
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: handed pitching, which is of course been a problem for
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: the Mariners most of this season. And we all know
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: the trade last weekend, this past weekend of Luis Castillo
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to the White Sox that got him, Sir Anthony Domingez
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: as a new setup guy, a veteran setup guy they
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: need in the bullpen as well. Here to talk about
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: that and more of the tweaked not quite new look,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: but tweaked Mariners before they begin their series tonight against
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Detroit down at the Yard and so to our friend
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Gary Hill Junior, the Mariners broadcast team radio play by play,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: joined us on the Beacon Plumbing Hotline. Good morning, Gary.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Corner, Greg, how's it going. Good to be back.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Thank you, It's good to have you back well, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: hopefully you enjoyed your off day at home. I know
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: those are few and far between.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Home off days don't come up very often, so yeah,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: this was a nice one, especially after.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: I know that last trip was just travelized in the
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: late nights and everything else, and right into it over
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: the weekend. It was nice to have a reset, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: think for everybody. So it was a good day, very
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: good day.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: You deserve that, Sir, well, what do you think, as
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: someone who follows the team and describes them every single
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: day of the season, of the moves they made. We
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: knew they needed a right handed bat. They got one
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: that gets on base at least has this year for
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the Oriols. Interesting. His power has gone away, but it's
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: on base going up, and you can talk about that
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: as well. And then you got the veteran that you
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: needed to be a set up guy in the bullp
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: who instantly, by the way, becomes the highest paid relieve
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: in Mariner's history because he signed a two year, twenty
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: million dollars deal with the White Sox to leave Toronto
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: after the World Series last year. Your impressions of those
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: two moves.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's start with the Castillo one. First.
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: It was a really good baseball trade. And I think
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: we all saw the writing on the wall with kind
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: of how.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Emerson Hancock has emerged and what Kate Anderson is doing.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: A starter was going to be traded either at this
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: deadline or the offseason.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: I think we all saw that coming, and so from a.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Baseballerspective, I think it was a really good trade. Sir
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: Anthony de Bengez, he's a stuffy right handed pitcher, which
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: they really need right now in the bullpen, and really
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: interesting prospect. I think too that we'll see.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: How he develops as well, but kind of bittersweet. I
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: think form Aeron fans.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: Luis Castillo for me is a Mariners Hall of Famer.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: I think his impact was enormous for the Mariners. And
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: what he did, you know, starting the first playoff game
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: in twenty years for the Mariners and dominating the Blue Jays,
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: was pitching for the Mariners when they walked up the
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: Tigers last year. He's pitched in some monster game for
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: the Mariners, and he has been just excellent from Mariners
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: All Star you know, head of the rotation for a while,
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: and so from that perspective, he'll be missed. But I
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: think it's totally understandable what the Mariners did given what
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: they have in the rotation and what he has done
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: so far this year. So hopefully Dominguez can be good
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: at that, a good setup guy from the right side,
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: because they need that right now, especially before Brash comes
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: back and Vargas comes back.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: There's a few weeks here where they need him to
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: be good.
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: Hopefully Wilcox can continue to be good and hopefully Bizarto.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: You know, it's been kind of a rough stretch with
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: the home runs the last few games, so hopefully he
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: can get over that because they need that from the
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: right side. And then Ward, you know, he's a pro.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: It's been interesting his last two years. As you reference,
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: you have thirty six home runs last year, just seven
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: this year.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: But he's getting on base a ton you know, three eighty.
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: That's pretty elite, and that's something they really need from
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: the right side. And he also gets on base at
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: a three seventy clip against writings, so he's not just
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: a oh, just play platoon guy. He's gonna be in
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: the lineup every day, and he's gonna be towards the
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: top of the lineup, probably leading off against lefties or
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: at least at the top of the lineup against lefties.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: So that's a really key guy.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: And it is gonna feel like, I think, a new
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: look lineup because Ward's.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Gonna be in there.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: I expect Donovan to be in there as well. It's
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: gonna feel like an acquisition given we haven't seen him
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: in so long, so it is gonna feel like a
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: new look lineup, I think starting tonight.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Do you think word goes well, you said one against
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: leftenanders because it was high on base against lefties. But
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: do you think Donovan stays at the top of the
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: line of perhaps two and move who will go down
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and move? Or do you think Donovan, because he's been
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: out so long, starts at the bottom of the lineup.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: I could see him more towards the bottom.
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: I think Cole Young is gonna stay where he's at
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: right now against righty's because he's just been sizzling. He's
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: been excellent at the top. I mean, man, he really
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: has been. What a step forward he's made this year.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: And you know, we know this.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: He played every He's played every single day, right He's
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: been in there every day and they've needed him every day,
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: and especially in this recent stretch, he's just crushing the ball,
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: you know, over four hundred batting average, nearly five hundred
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: on base with power, you know, a couple of triples,
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: a hole along the way.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: So I see him still at the top.
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: Of the lineup, and I'm I'm kind of as curious
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: as everyone else to see Donovan.
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: Where Donovan fits in, And.
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: I could see him at the bottom, you know, to
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: start you towards the bottom to start things and then
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: we'll see where it goes is he works his way back.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Of course, Brendan Donovan was the leadoff batter for the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: first month and a half or so before the injuries.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It was really good. Yeah, and he was he was
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: getting on base and was the most insistent guy. Gary
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Hill Junior I Radio was broadcaster for the Mariners, joining
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: us here on the Beacon Plumbing hotline. If you could
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: go back to Luis Castill someone alluded to it. But
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: for those that don't know, we see what he does
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: on the mound, but how respected and beloved he was
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: in that clubhouse and why and what you noticed when
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you saw them day to day.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, first of all, he's just a really great person.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: He's a great human being and really fun to be around.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: He's fun to talk to. He's just he's always in
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: good spirits.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: And for that real.
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: You know, when they were coming up, it was a
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: really young group. He was the veteran and he was
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: a guy that they really leaned on. And I feel
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: like that wasn't always public kind of his influence on
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: molding a lot of these guys, but it did make
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: a real difference.
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: And now you look around.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: And Gilbert and Kirby and Wu and Hancock and Miller,
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: they're all veterans.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: They've been doing it for a long time.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: But that wasn't the case when Castillo first got here,
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: and he was the head of the rotation and he
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: was the guy that they kind of followed. So he
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: has made and we've heard the stories, you know, the
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: last few days coming from different guys, and the impact
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: that they've made on him.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: His impact will be long lasting.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: It really will, not only for what he's done as
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: a Mariner on the field, but for what he's done
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: for the other guys in the rotation and the leader
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: he's been off the field.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Gary This weekend, of course, the Mariners at home and
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: they posted Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend in Al
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: East relating Rays. They're celebrating their fiftieth anniversary either top
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: fifty players of all time. They're trying to get as
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: many of them to come back that or on that list.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: This morning, Alex Rodriguez confirmed that he is coming back
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: as one of the top fifty Mariners of all time,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: which makes sense that he was on that list. What
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: kind of reception do you think, Alex Rodrigo is going
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: to get in T Mobile Park on Saturday.
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: Well, it's never been a favorable one, but I would
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: like to see it be this time around, hopefully. I
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: don't know, do you feel like there's enough you've been here?
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: Is there enough water under the bridge?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Now that there's some water but not quite up to
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the top of the bridge.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: That's the question. I don't know, is there enough? I mean,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: shouldn't be told.
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: His run as a Mariner was incredible. Yeah, he burst
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: out of the scene and he was an unbelievable player
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: for the Mariners in those first few years. And I
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: know the exit was not pretty going to Texas. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: all saw that.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: But he's clearly one of the top fifty Mariners.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Yes about that at such a young age.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Too, right, at such a young age.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: I mean, he was putting up he was putting up
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: forty home run seasons, thirty plus double season's high average.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: He was doing it all as a young short.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Style and he was playing like gold glove level defense
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: at shorts.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: He was everything. He was everything. And you think about
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: those Mariner teams that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Just the firepower they had, you know, I think about
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: that ninety seventeam a lot, and I know they didn't
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: make a run. They were bounced out by Baltimore in
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: the postseason, but he kind of looked back at that
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: lineup and you know, a rod in his prime, Griffy
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: in his prime, a fifty six home run season, Buner
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: in his prime, a forty home run season, Edgar and
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: his prime. That offense was utterly absurd, and they didn't
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: have enough pitching to go along with it, but all
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: those guys in their prime at the same time, just
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: crushing homers all over the place.
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: It was really in a place where it was very
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: easy to hit home runs in the Kingdom.
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: But it was just a remarkable offense and an incredible time.
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: And so I hope he's greeted warmly. But we'll see
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: what happens that season.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: You're talking about King gri rer Ginia in the fifty
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: six home runs of the lead the league. Jay Buhner
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: had forty, Paul Sorrento had thirty one home runs for
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that team. He's a forgotten Mariner. Edgar Martinez, you don't
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: think of him as a big home run here. I
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: had twenty eight that year for the Mariners, and Rodriguez
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: had twenty four. You're right about the He betted three hundred,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: which is like these days would be put him in
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. He had three hundred.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: Wilson betted like Danilson, about like eighth in that line up.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: He bet at two to seventy with fifteen home runs.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, exact, exactly. That team was eighteen games over five
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: hundred and won the AO West the Mariners, but packing
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the Kingdome in those days. After that, ninety five refused
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to lose season. In ninety seven, they were third in
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: the league in attendance. They grew over three million people
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: inside a concrete dome through the That's how good that
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: team was. Yeah, I remember that well, Gary, I definitely
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I was here. I remember that tea. Yeah, Gary Hill.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Hard to go in the Kingdom too.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Oh man, exactly. Yeah, you'd walk in going this baseball
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: better be good because it's eighty degrees and Sonny out
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: here and you still go in and see a show.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: That's right about since run the subject of that this
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: coming weekend in the fifty year celebration, what are you
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: looking forward to most? Maybe who you might be looking
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: forward to seeing the most is that the home run Derby?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Is it seeing faces and guys you just haven't seen
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: in a while. What are you looking forward to most?
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's the unique and this feels like
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: a one time to see generations of Mariner greats all
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: in the same place at the same time. And for me,
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: it starts with you know, when I was a little kid,
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: it was.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Like Langston and Alvin Davis for me, but like the
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: first Mariner stars and I really just really latched onto
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: them early.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: And so it's going to go through the ads and
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: the Mark Langston into you know, the Griffies, and it's
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: mentioned a Rod and Buner and that generation onto a
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: lot of stars now and of course each your own,
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: and it's just a generation. And you look at the
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: Mariners now as an organization that's fifty years old and
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: for the first time it's a generational team. You have
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: a generational fan base. This has now been passed down
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: from grandparents to parents to children. You see generations of
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: fans and it's gonna be fun, I think, to celebrate
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: the generations of players all the same time.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I'm just looking forward to the stories and the.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: Memories and just kind of what it represents for the
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: city of Seattle and Mariner baseball fans.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Gary, The AO West has obviously shifted here in the
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: last two weeks or so. A week and a half,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the six game winning streak by the trash Cans has
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Houston now in first place. The Rangers had lost six
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: in a row to four all out, and now they're
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: tied with the Mariners at two and a half. Back Ever,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: reports the Rangers were offering anyone and everyone to trade
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: in Texas yesterday, and we had a Texas beat writer
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: on before that Mariners series saying the next week or
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: so would decide whether they are going to sell, and
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: even if they win, they probably aren't going to be
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: buyers at the deadline because they didn't think this was
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: the World Series team. Anyway. Do you think it's now
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Houston or bust for Seattle to run down to win
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the division? Do you think Texas has faded and they
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: just don't have the pitching? And what might worry you
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: about Houston as if they start getting healthier?
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Oh boy, Well, it's hard to predict the AL West. Honestly,
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: given what we've seen so far this year, I would
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: not count Texas out at this point because we have
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: seen them capable of rip off a good run of baseball,
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: and at this point, I mean, if you put together
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: a good week, week and a half two weeks, you're
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: going to be a great position.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: In the division.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: So I wouldn't count them out. Although they have their flaws.
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: The Astros have their flaws as well. I think we
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: can say that the Mariners out of the division made
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: themselves had the most impact at the deadline. I think,
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: you know, the Astros moves of the deadline we'll see
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: I mean not big moves, certainly, so we'll see how
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: much barshow helps them in the outfield or not. But
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: they still have pretty significant flaws as well. I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: the scariest part of the Astros is they have the
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: American League MVP going right now and Jordan Alvarez who's
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: been just a monster, and it feels like he's been
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: almost single handedly carrying them for a long stretch. His
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: year has been utterly ridiculous, and so where as he goes,
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: they go. And of course he has an injury history
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: as well, but he stayed pretty healthy for this stretch.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: But I am starting to look at that series in
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Houston coming up coming up on this road trip, the
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: weekend series in Houston a three gamer, and the Mariners
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: have dominated.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: The Astros this year. They really have.
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: You think back to that sweep in Houston earlier this
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: year and Mariners now seven to one against the Astros
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: this season. That's gonna be a huge series coming up,
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: and hopefully the Mariners can set the table for that
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: by winning a couple of series. Beating the Tigers in
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: a series, raised in a series that won't be easy,
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: but setting the table for that big weekend series would
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: be enormous. And you know, the Asterers are playing great
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: right now, but they're flawed too, So who knows how
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: long this stretch is gonna last. I just think it's
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: impossible to predict what's gonna happen. It's all up in
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: the air for me.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Gary're you're right to bring up the seven to one
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: series lead, dominating the Mariners, dominating Houston because there are
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: no playoffs anymore. If you end up no tie at
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the end of the season, it goes to head to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: head and the Mariners would have that tiwerker, so they
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: just have to tie Houston and not actually get ahead
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: of them after one sixty two. It's a good point
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: on that. Oh okay, what are you looking forward to
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: tonight or in this series? There's no Scooba on the
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: mound for Detroit. But yet the Tigers sounds like they're
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: gonna start a guy who gave me the Marrior problems
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: in the ads last year. Detraite's somewhat surgeon here. They're
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: about five and a half out of a playoffs, by
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: which a lot of teams can say. But from where
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: they were, they've come way from way back.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and yeah, it's funny. They traded two of the
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: best pictures. Yet Mariners will see their two best remaining pictures.
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: Troy Maultain has been He was really impressive, as you
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: point out the playoffs last year.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: His stuff is really unique and he's going to go tonight.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: So and he's been awesome.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: His ears been cut short, so he's only had eleven starts,
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: but his earra's under two. He's been completely dominant. So
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: the Mariners will have their hands full tonight, and they'll
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: face an old friend coming up in game three of
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: the series in Feverra Valdez. So of course, yeah, so
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: uh and those have gone one or two ways every time,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: so there's a lot of familiarity there.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: The Meritis have.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Gotten to him sometimes they haven't other times, so we'll
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: see what happens in between. There's a bullpen start, so
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: for me, you got to get the game. You got
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: to get the bullpen game. With Wu going on the
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: other side, that's gonna be the key. That's a muss.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: And then you try and pick off one of the
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: other two. Try and get Mount, try and get.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Valdez because for me, as much as a nine game
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: winning streak would be great, what they really need to
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: do is stack.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: Up series wins.
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: And it wasn't easy against the Twins, but a good
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: start they got the series.
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: It's a pass failed test.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: They won the series and now try and do the
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: same against the Tigers.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: That's and for me, it's the middle game that's one
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: to get.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: That's night game, night game, day game, three game series
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: at the Yard and Soto between the Tigers and Mariners.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: And Gary Hill Junior will be bringing all to you
• 34:34

  Speaker 2: over it like they have been since day one, really
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: since the OTA's and Mini camps in the spring. They've
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: been out here. They set up their own compound just

  Speaker 2: outside the gates entering the facility. It's got a couple
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: portable trailers, it's got a bunch of equipment, it's got cranes.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Quite a production in NFL films and HBO puts on
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: for this show. In the first episode of Seahawks Training Camp.
• 35:52

• 35:56
  Speaker 2: six o'clock Pacific. If you have HBO Max you can

• 36:07
  Speaker 2: all the time zones will be showing at HBO in
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the local markets at nine pm tonight our time. What
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: does Seahawks think about this? I wrote a story this
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: morning at the News Tribune. It's up at the Neewstribune
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: dot com about this. Sam Darnald was asked about Hard
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Knocks and he said he likes it. He also likes
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: some aspects of the editing process of Hard Knocks. This
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: is the Seahawks Super Bowl winning quarterback about being on
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: national television starting tonight. What's the Hard Knocks answer?
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: It's been great.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: We're loving it.
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: You know, it was funny, it was it was a
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: talk in the qv room is like who's gonna change
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: and who's not when the cameras are gone, you know,
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: in the in the uh, you know, just in the
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: locker room, and no one's really changed, which I'm I'm
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: proud of. So, uh, you know, it's been fun though.
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: I think after the first first three or four days,
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: you kind of forget the cameras are there, which might
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: be a bad thing, but no, I think, you know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: we're all kind of used to it at this point.
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: It was nice to hear that they record. I think
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: three hundred hours of film every single day and only
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: one hour gets used throughout the day. So that was
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: very Uh, that was very nice to know that as.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: The starry quarterback that you're probably gonna be a big
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: focal point of the show. And you do you feel
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: like you're more prepared or.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: That you now than you would have been maybe like a.
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: Few years ago.
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, I think, however you want to look
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: at I think I would have been prepared a few
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: years ago. But I think experience and you know, just
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: being around locker rooms and being a little bit older,
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: I guess maybe more mature. I think you know that
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: can help a little bit with this experience. But it's
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: been great Man, to be able to have the crew around.
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: The crew is awesome too, really good people, So it's
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: been awesome to have them around last one hard times.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Who do you feel like whose personality need like the
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: world is gonna learned him out? Oh?
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: Man, Honestly, I think I think the head coach, the
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: head ball coach, Mike. I think I think he'll shine
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: right on hard knocks just for people to kind of
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: see his personality and his personality come to life. I
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: think is because he's a great guy. Obviously, we know him,
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: we know who he is as our head coach and
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: as a person, and I think for the entire world
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: to see that, it's gonna be really cool.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: That's Sam Donald talking about The Hard Knocks the premier
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: episode tonight. There are episodes every Tuesday from now until
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: September the first. This is the first time since the
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: very first Hard Knocks twenty five years ago that they
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: featured a defending Super Bowl champion. The very first one
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: was the two thousand and one Baltimore Ravens who were champions,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: and then for a long time the league rule was
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: if you made the playoffs the previous year, you weren't
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: gonna be on Hard On. You were exempt and it
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: was only non playoff teams that were making Its explained
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: sometimes why the Dallas Cowboys have been on three times,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: But the Seahawks recently a couple years ago to the
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: NFL changed that rule when playoff teams could get in.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: In fact, the Seahawks are doing it this year, and
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: they've already announced next year the team that they played
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl in February, the New England Patriots,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: will be featured on Hard Knocks in twenty twenty seven.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: But this is the first time the Seahawks have ever
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: had the Hard Knocks crew in the NFL film's crew
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: out here. I think Donald's right about McDonald and the
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: nation learning about him his self, deprecating nature. They've already
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: put out a trailer that had showing a team meeting
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: in the main auditorium room of Mike McDonald's saying I'm
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: one of the most boring guys in the history of America.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: I've loved that. I mean, it was perfect though. It
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: was absolutely perfect for that production.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: And actually, I do believe a lot of these things
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: get overproduced, and you're seeing the real Mike McDonald in
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: that moment.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: So the way they do it is that these remote
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: camera robotic cameras that are in the main team meeting room,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: they're in the individual position meeting room, and those are
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: areas that general media can never get in beat writers
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: can't get And Chuck Powe was asking me this morning
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: at seven o'clock here on kJ ARE about this, and
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: he said, is there are going to be things that
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: you revealed that you don't have access to?
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: It?
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Say yes, because there are cameras that we don't have
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: access to. There's also handheld cameras that the men and
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: women of the hard Narks NFL crew staff are walking
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: through the locker room of the ninety players to film
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: and record. We're not allowed in the locker room during
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: the preseason because there are ninety players in there. There's
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: temporary lockers down the middle and whatnot. We do go
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: into the locker room once the regular season it begins
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and the roster's cut down to fifty three at the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: end of August. But the access to the places that
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: they can go alone is a curtain pullback that the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: normal media TV, radio, and print can never get to.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: So that's that. I will tell you that the cameras,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: the boom mics are following Devin Witherspoon everywhere he goes
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: on the field. He's bending down to tie his shoe,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: the boom mic is over his head. They figured out
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: that he chirps and gives everybody a hard time, especially
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: the offensive players during practices, so they stay focused on him.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: The nation, I think is going to really get a
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Devin Witherspoon introduction as well on his personality and how
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: brash he is. I will say this, it tends to
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: be in the hard knocks that the first step or
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: two episodes are about the stars, and then once viewers
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: get to be familiar with storylines on roster battles and
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: undrafted rookies that are coming out of nowhere, and then
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: it's you start getting those stories and then who gets
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: cut at the end of the preseason.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that one cutdown is so much more machete than
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: it used to be, right, exactly seventy Yeah, exactly.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. That is much different. People ask me
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: all the time. By the way, what's my undrafted rookie
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: who's made a big impression? Aiden Hubbard is a edge
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: rushing linebacker from Northwestern. He's sixty four, two fifty nine.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: He's tall, he's fast, he's lean. He's the prototype in
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: a way body type and speed wise, and he has
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: showed well so far. Andre Fuller, the undrafted cornerback from Toledo,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: is six one, two hundred pounds. He has had a
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: pretty good camp. It was Somalow Saamalo, a nose tackle
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: with three hundred and thirty pounds from Kansas State, is
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: someone that they think highly of and want to see
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: give him every opportunity to make the team because of
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: the depth need at that position. Brandon Peely has been
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: out some practices injured with the incumbent at nose tackle,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: the true nose tackle that they have on the roster,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: So say Samalow has a chance to make the roster
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: because they do need depth on the defensive line. All

  Speaker 2: with us at training camp. Hello, sir, Hey, how you
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: doing well? Sir? Thank you for joining us. And you've
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: been to Miami, You've been to Dallas, you've been to Washington,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: now Seattle. How does this compare? What's different or the
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: same or what's unique about the Seahawks environment compared to others.
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: Been I mean, of course, it's a championship environment. I've
• 48:47
  Speaker 9: been to other places where the one as well in
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: the past, but just my first time I've been on
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: the team and they won like the year before, and
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: just being here so far, of course, I've seen the
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: championship mentality, the championship detail, and and and just how
• 49:00
  Speaker 9: we practice, how we go about our meetings, how we
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: go about like walkthroughs, and just this training camp. It's
• 49:05
  Speaker 9: been different ever since I got here. In the off season,
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: it's been different. Honestly, how we did off season training
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: was different, and there's more intention and everything we were doing.
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: And I love it here honestly, and it's a blessing
• 49:18
  Speaker 9: to be I'm glad to be here, just to be
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: part of this team and honored to be on this team, honestly,
• 49:21
  Speaker 9: and so i'm register you know what happens.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, how does that intent show up? Mike McDonald
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: talks a lot about empowering the players and involving them
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: in the process, and what's different about the intent you're
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: talking about here?
• 49:34
  Speaker 9: I would say it's just it's like laser focus like everything,
• 49:37
  Speaker 9: Like there's an intention in every single call we're doing.
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: It's a focus for a player for every single thing
• 49:43
  Speaker 9: he's doing. And I feel like they don't take like
• 49:47
  Speaker 9: distraction on well here. I feel like, if you want
• 49:51
  Speaker 9: to play, if you want to play a lot of
• 49:52
  Speaker 9: you have to play well. You have to be focused,
• 49:54
  Speaker 9: especially for this defense. And that's why this team was
• 49:57
  Speaker 9: so successful. It's because of those things. And it takes that, honestly,
• 50:01
  Speaker 9: and so that I would say that that's the main thing.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm assuming you've done them already. The walking talks. Yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's can you tell the listeners who don't understand
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: what is that? Coaches taking a small group of players,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: what kind of players have you mixed with and gotten
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: to know that you normally wouldn't know. And what are
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: those walking talks? What do you get? What have you
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: learned about other players in yourself? About that?
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: Basically, they break the whole team down in like groups,
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: probably like fifteen groups. I would say, it's probably less
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: and more and we all like go to a certain
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: part of the facility and we all get together. It
• 50:31
  Speaker 9: could be it's not just defense or not just offens.
• 50:34
  Speaker 9: You could be meeting with the equipment manager. You just
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: you know, you don't know, you know, some of you
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: may not even talk to them on a day to
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: day basis. And and for me, I've never did anything
• 50:42
  Speaker 9: like that, you know, And I don't know if they
• 50:44
  Speaker 9: were doing it last year. I'm atty sure they were,
• 50:47
  Speaker 9: But stuff like that. That's why, you know, like when
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: you get in those big games, get big situations, everyone
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: knows each other. Like you get to the sideline, you know,
• 50:56
  Speaker 9: the team clinistions is talking who I met Like, I mean,
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: I met him before, but you know, this is the
• 51:01
  Speaker 9: first time I actually heard him talk for like a
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: long period of time, and like, you know, he's one
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: of those guys that's gonna be on the sideline when
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: you're in the game, you know, you come, you have
• 51:09
  Speaker 9: a good play, and he's celebrating you like you know him,
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, Like, but before it might
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: not be that, you know, when I was other places,
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: I really didn't get that, you know, And so you know,
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: I'm very encouraged being we did it yesterday and I
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: mean not yesterday, two days ago, and I was very encouraged.
• 51:25
  Speaker 9: It's just meeting people I haven't met before, and there's
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: rookies in there as well, and then the questions they ask,
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: you know, with that is very intentional as well. And
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: so I feel like with the rookie I had, and
• 51:37
  Speaker 9: there's a rookie receiver, and I truly believe the questions
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: I was answering probably helped him, you know, and where
• 51:44
  Speaker 9: he's at in his career right now and just being
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: able to look back and stuff like that. So, yeah,
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: what did they ask you shared? Just like like one
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: question like what's the hardest thing about being in the league,
• 51:57
  Speaker 9: being in an NFL? And from me, I would say,
• 52:01
  Speaker 9: it's the constant competition and the constant you know, I
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: literally said this is my answer. I was like everyone
• 52:07
  Speaker 9: in this group. Player wise, we probably all was like
• 52:09
  Speaker 9: the top player wherever we came from, right, But the
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: league is not like that anymore. And and and you
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: kind of have to start over in a way, just
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: like from high school to college, that transition, there's a
• 52:19
  Speaker 9: whole nother transition where you get to the league. And
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: it took me time to figure figure my way out.
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: And I truly believe now I'm at the at the
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: point where I've kind of figured it out now, but
• 52:29
  Speaker 9: before it took me time. Man, it really did. And
• 52:32
  Speaker 9: so just explaining that whole process, I truly believe it
• 52:35
  Speaker 9: probably did help that rookie out. And what I basically
• 52:38
  Speaker 9: told them was like, now because everyone is so talented,
• 52:41
  Speaker 9: because you know, the competition is as level it is
• 52:44
  Speaker 9: a eleven playing field. Now it's more so about Okay,
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: my sleeping habits, my recovery habits, my eating habits, you know,
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: stuff like that. In college you can get away with,
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: you know, in the NFL, those are the separators.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: It could be that little sit one play, two plays
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: and that's all it. Sometimes, you know, and just because
• 53:02
  Speaker 9: I got an our hour sleep more than you did,
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: you just never know, like it could be that one
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: that one play of mental fatigue or that one lasp
• 53:09
  Speaker 9: of it, and and you know a difference between making
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: a play and not making a plane. So that especially
• 53:14
  Speaker 9: what I said, and I'm pretty sure it helped us guys.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, spoken like a twenty six year old man
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: instead of a twenty one two yea, yeah, of course.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Noigg bnogaa be the cornerback, was the first round draft
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: pick of the Miami Dolphins in twenty twenty. He played
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: three seasons for Miami. He played one season for Dan
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Quinn as a defensive coordinator for the Miami or the
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys and then the Washington Commanders twenty twenty four
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: to twenty five, when Dan Quinn became the head coach.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: That's his NFL journey. Noeigg Bnogaby came from Auburn University
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: in Alabama in the SEC. And you're something you've been
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: doing since training camp is being a kick returner. You
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: did that at Auburn too, but you were a wide
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: receiver when you arrived at Auburn.
• 53:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it was when did they convert you to My
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: first year so like in that little spring training period,
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: I would say that's when I was that first year.
• 54:02
  Speaker 9: I was really just a special teams player, playing like
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: the corner on punt return and I was kind of
• 54:07
  Speaker 9: really good at that and it was just really you
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: just had to run down there with him, and so
• 54:10
  Speaker 9: I was really good at that. But still I had
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: never played like, you know, corner for that at all
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: defense at all. In that offseason, I think we had
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: Carson Davis, who's you know, with the Patriots now and
• 54:21
  Speaker 9: who's had an amazing career and he left that year
• 54:24
  Speaker 9: and they needed some help at the corner acquisition and
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: they asked me, and you know, I did it.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and since you didn't played receiver at all
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: at all ever since, I mean of course that there
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: was like I was gonna play both, like you know,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Travis Hunter dinner, but I just went ahead and you know,
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: stuck the corner. So and your parents were both track
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: and field and representing Nigeria in the Olympics.
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: Yea.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: His mother her father Festus, was a triple jumper at
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: the ninety six Atlanta Olympics for Nigeria. His mother faith
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: at four by four hundred meter relay member for the
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Nigerian team at the nineteen ninety two Barcelona Games. You
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: were tracked long jumping trip to jump at Auburn as well.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: What was that like as an SEC athlete? I mean
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: SEC track and football are pretty high level. Yeah, yeah.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: How did your days structure? How did the see what
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: did the season's overlap at all the training? Did you
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: not train as much in football as you're in track
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: and field? How did you balance all that?
• 55:17
  Speaker 9: So, like, as soon as the season was over with it,
• 55:19
  Speaker 9: that's basically when track was picking up some of this
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: football season. So it didn't really you know, intertwine with
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: each other too much, I would say, But honestly, during
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: the spring period I wasn't really with the football team
• 55:28
  Speaker 9: at all. It's really just all track. And I learned,
• 55:31
  Speaker 9: you know, real quick that you know, you know, track
• 55:34
  Speaker 9: is different, you know, in SEC wise, and so if
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: I'm going to fully be into this thing like and
• 55:39
  Speaker 9: be like good at it, at least I still did
• 55:41
  Speaker 9: pretty good honestly, But to be where I want to be,
• 55:43
  Speaker 9: which is, you know, great at everything I do, I
• 55:45
  Speaker 9: knew I was gonna have to either choose one, you know,
• 55:48
  Speaker 9: And so I ended up doing it both years. I
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: did in the last year, I went to the drivet
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: after that, so I didn't get to do it, but
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: I'm glad I did it, honestly, you know. But it
• 55:56
  Speaker 9: really showed me how much, you know, it takes to
• 55:59
  Speaker 9: be successful at that level, and already there's no telling
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: how much it takes, you know, And then that's what
• 56:03
  Speaker 9: football and all these other sports as well, at a
• 56:06
  Speaker 9: professional level as well, SEC is basically, I feel like
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: it's now professional wise and track and fieldwise. So yeah,
• 56:13
  Speaker 9: it was, It was It was interesting, It was fun.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're not that old, but you were eight
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: years ago, nine years ago at Auburn you went when
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: you had to go to school too.
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you're right.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: How did you balance all of that's eligible?
• 56:24
  Speaker 9: And I just you know, I mean, I come on,
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: my parents, you know, they migrated from over here and
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: they were my mom for instance. I mean both of them,
• 56:33
  Speaker 9: they were doing nursing school at the same time doing
• 56:36
  Speaker 9: track as well, you know. So I mean, my sister's
• 56:39
  Speaker 9: in nursing school now and she tells me how heart
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: is and she's not doing track right now and this
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: is and she says how hard it is now, So
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: you know, ill coot us to my mom. I can't
• 56:46
  Speaker 9: even believe how she did it. But that just shows you,
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: you know, like where I come from and like what's
• 56:50
  Speaker 9: inside of us and in this blood line, and that's
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: how I was able to get through all of that,
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: you know. And so because I have those are my
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: parents and what they did, you know, it's the reason
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: I'm here now.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, do you go back to Nigerian Sea family.
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: I haven't been back since I was like four or four,
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: So I'm planning to go back one day.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so you don't remember it or you're too
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: young to remember.
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: I remember being hot, that's about yeah.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: No, they'd been not going to the new Seahawks cornerback
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: signed from two years from the Washington Manage, joining us
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: here from Seahawks training camp on ninety three point three.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: Kg R tell us about dan Quinn the impact he
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: had on you in Dallas. I'm assuming he's the one
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: instrumental in getting you to Washington because of your time
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: with Dallas. What do you think of dan Quinn and what.
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: Can you Oh, man, I have so much respect for
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: for dan Quinn. I literally probably wouldn't be sitting in
• 57:35
  Speaker 9: the seat without him. Like I said, the I transitioned
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: to playing corner late, especially in college and so coming
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: into the league, yes I went first round, I was
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: twenty years old, but there was still like all I
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: really did in college was really just like press, press
• 57:50
  Speaker 9: man and stuff like that. But even I learned, I
• 57:53
  Speaker 9: still didn't even know too much about that coming into
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: the league, So there was a lot of learning and developing.
• 57:58
  Speaker 9: I literally had to start all over with the said
• 58:00
  Speaker 9: I had of defense and what all of it was.
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: And when I got to Dallas that fourth when I
• 58:05
  Speaker 9: got traded that third or fourth year, there were things
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: I learned there that I hadn't even learned at all,
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: Like that probably some most corners probably learned in high school.
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: I didn't learn till then. And so just basic stuff
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: like how to not saying I didn't wasn't taught properly
• 58:20
  Speaker 9: in Miami. I was, but like that was a different
• 58:23
  Speaker 9: scheme and it required different techniques, and when I got
• 58:26
  Speaker 9: to Dallas, it required a different type of techniques, and
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: those techniques I had never really did before, as far
• 58:30
  Speaker 9: as just playing off coverage the right way, not just
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: simply backpeddling, but but reading my keys and stuff like that.
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: And I had never played nickel and in something that
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: was something there where I was practicing it. I was
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: just a practice player that year. Honestly, I didn't really
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: play that much when I got there in Dallas. And
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: then it translated after that to that season and dan
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: Quinn went to Washington and I got an opportunity to
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: go there, and I had a really great year that
• 58:54
  Speaker 9: year just playing nickel, and but again that was my
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: first year ever playing slot, and so there was a
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: lot of just new things I just didn't know before.
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: And came back a year ago last year and and
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: did slot and played outside as well, and so but well,
• 59:07
  Speaker 9: what Dan and his coaching staff taught me, it was
• 59:09
  Speaker 9: so much, man, it was so much detail and about
• 59:12
  Speaker 9: defense itself, about like the proper mentality it takes to
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: play defense in this NFL. And I feel like this
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: defense and dan Quinn's defense kind of really does like
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: mess with each other as far as like mentality goes.
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: Of course, it's not the same, you know, you know,
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: install wise and stuff like that. But I feel like
• 59:30
  Speaker 9: that's a reason why you know, the Seahawks wanted, you know,
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: wanted me, honestly, is because I come from that background.
• 59:36
  Speaker 9: And so all kudos of dan Quinn, I literally would
• 59:39
  Speaker 9: not be here without him, So, yeah, I have so
• 59:40
  Speaker 9: much respect for him.
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: To you, I'm here with you.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: Knows all about that.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a lot of fans here in Seattle.
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: I remember when he came out here after they won
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: that Super Bowl. I took him to a Mariner game
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: and people were coming up to him and being dapping
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: him up and everything, and he didn't understand why.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, Dune, coach, you just won the Super Bowl.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: He's he's got that humility.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: I'm just so glad that you learn so much from him,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 5: because he's not only a great coach, a fantastic coach,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: but a really good person.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah he is. Dan Quinn went for excuse me, dan
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Quinn took no. From eight percent of defensive snaps, like
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: you said, mostly special teams in Dallas in twenty twenty
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: three to seventy six percent of snaps playing in nickel. Course,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: we know nickel in the NFL, and how prevalent it is.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: The game comes at you faster there. What's the trick?
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: What is the key to playing nickel versus outside corner
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: and switching your game from the two positions.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: Nickel is a lot of you're into now you're in
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: the box, you're like another linebacker. So with linebackers, what
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 9: I had learned is, you know, they're always reading their keys.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: You have to read run pass. Now at corner, you know,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 9: I mean you do have to read run pass at times,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: but more so you're on the island. You have one
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: guy one or two guys or something that you're reading.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 9: But at Nickel, you really have to know the whole
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: defense with somebody else that's doing and you know, there's
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 9: a lot of people who's like leaning on you to
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 9: know your job so they can do their job the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: right way. With the corner, you can kind of like
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: be you know, by yourself and somebody else's job may
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 9: not be you know, literally connected to yours, I would say,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 9: But Nickel, like you're in the box like you're you're
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 9: in you're reading run plays, past plays, and you have
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: different responsibilities and in the determines to call right and
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: so it's it was a lot of it's a lot
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: of mental strain, I would say, at Nickel, and to
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 9: be able to play it at a high level, like
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 9: I mean, this team we have, we have Witherspoon and
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 9: the stuff he's able to do. Just just to say
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: something about him like literally last year, Like I remember
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: where there was one team we were preparing against and
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 9: I saw one play on film and he like blitz
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: and then just took off and tackled the tackle the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: tight end like on the opposite side of the field.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 9: And I remember watching that when we were going into
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 9: into meetings, and I literally came out that meeting. I
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: was like, man, I need to play like that, like
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: and like there's so much inspiration, you know, and so
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 9: like all of this back to him. I don't even
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 9: have to say that, but I have so much I
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 9: haven't even talked about, honestly have. I have so much
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 9: respect for that dude. And he literally changed away like
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 9: I saw like how I needed to play because I
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: saw him, and I was like, man like, I need
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: to run to the ball like that. I need to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 9: change the way how my effort is. And and it
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 9: wasn't like I wasn't even comparing myself with him. It
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 9: was just like, man like, that's how you're supposed to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: play this thing, and that's why he has all the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 9: success he has.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: So I have so much respect for him. So that's
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: no monogamy. An eighth year NFL veteran talking about the
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: fourth year veteran you played. You're playing both here in
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: training camp. I noticed you at Nicol as well. How
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald's system makes it multiplicity, different versatilities. How much
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: of a challenge is that and even the one word
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: calls right before the snap would jump maybe into a
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: different alignment, And how different is that for you this season?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 9: It's interesting, but it's it's it's not something I haven't
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 9: done before, honestly, and so I feel like being a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 9: dan quiz system. It's like it's like a perfect jail.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: Like it's like I'm I'm becoming like who I'm supposed
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: to be in this defense. Like it's like I'm so
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 9: comfortable here, and it's it's weird, honestly, It's like I'm
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: becoming one with the with the calls. It's not like
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 9: an outward thing to me. Yes, I study, and I
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 9: study a lot, but it's something I've been doing. I
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: picked up my whole routine for years now, So it's
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 9: like it's nothing to me now. But like when the
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 9: defense actually starts to become like a part of you
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: and not just you, like knowing the calls, that's when
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: it becomes something else. That's when you start playing a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 9: little differently. And and that's why I feel like I've
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 9: been doing so well recently. And so of course, you know,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 9: I'm not where I want to be at and I
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: have to continue just to grow and and and and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 9: I mature as well. But so far, like this defense is,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 9: it is everything to me, And so yeah.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: It's a crowded defensive back for your goals for this season, sir.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 9: My goals is to me is I just want to maximize,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 9: you know, my potential. I true believe you know, you
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 9: told me. You know you know my parents are and
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 9: what they did, and so I believe you know I was.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 9: I'm here for a reason, you know, I have a purpose.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 9: I believe God gave me gifts and then he wants
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: me to use them, you know, And so I plan
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 9: to just maximize those gifts and whatever happens after that
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 9: is whatever happens with So yeah, I'm excited.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: No Ig Moanogamy, welcome to Seattle. We appreciate you sitting
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: down with us on kJ all the best of you

• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: line at Seahawks training camp at ninety three point three
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: kJ r FM. All right, welcome back, Greg Bell and
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Jessmon McIntyre with you live on ninety three point three
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: KJR FM from Seahawks training camp in Renting, Day nine,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: practice number nine, full fanfare today. They're already setting up
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: for the fans. Right out in front of me. They
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: got Chick fil A cow and a Seahawks twelve jersey.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: That's kind of an odd scene.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: Well, Chick fil A is pretty doesn't out here these days?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, they are. Yes, if you missed it.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: I was going to just ask you what the crowd
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: looks like, because we talked about how it had waned
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: in the past, and if it's as prevalent as it
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: was after the Seahawks hit their stride ten you know,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: twelve years ago, it.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Hasn't spiked like you might think a Super Bowl champion
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: team would get more people out here. Five six. Right
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: before the pandemic, they were goal line to go line
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: every day on the grass fern.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 5: Well, a lot of things have changed that don't have
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 5: to do with the Seahawks.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Yo, correct and society has changed, and not to mention
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: many many of these practices are smack in the middle
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: of a weekday afternoon. People have jobs and such. So no,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: they're not like standing room when we can't get in
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: sold out. They haven't been sold out per se, like
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: they won't let any more people in for a long
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: time and many summers that I can remember. But yeah,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: there used to be more people than there used to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: be now, But yeah, things have changed. If you missed
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: our interview with Noah Igmanoghany, the veteran cornerback with an
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: interesting background. His parents both olympians for the Nigerian track
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: team in the nineties, his own track background, his love
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: for Dan Quinn, who brought it first to Dallas when
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: Quinn was a defensive coinaire, then to Washington when Quinn
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: became the head coach of the Commanders, made him a
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: starter in the NFL, and he fled outside to us.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: She heard it the last segment. He wouldn't be here
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: in Sea Orks training camp in his eighth NFL season
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: if not for Dan Quinn. If you miss that interview,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: go to nine through three KGr dot com. Just when
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: we'll have the Greg Belt Show podcast up after the

• 1:06:43

• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: to five one and to coma Dodge text line. Yeah.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: And we have a lot of different opinions. We have
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: some people really loving the interview that you did with Noah.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: Great interview.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 5: Wow, that was interest interesting, what an interesting background. And
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: also hi Jessamin and Greg uh So that coming in
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 5: from the two oh eight I believe is Idaho.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, thank you. Yeah.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: But let's go back to the Mariners. Two five three
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: says Mariners in.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: A free fall, losing your leading hr guy home run
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: guy in really for the season, and now you have
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: Taylor Ward and his monster seven home runs in the lineup.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: The lineup is still trash. According to the two five three,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: I don't think.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: Taylor Ward had sixty one home runs over two seasons
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: with the Angels when he was their right fielder, and
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: now he's becoming on base guy who walks more. He
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: was a strikeout home run guy for many years yes.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Now he's an on guy right who is only as
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: seven home runs, So.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, which is also something that this Mariners team needs.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: They need that.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: Frankly, they don't need another home run guy. This team
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: already just tries to win games with home run exactly.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: My dudes, get on base and make defenses have to
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: play you instead of just home runs. I mean, frankly,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: defenses don't have to play the Mariners all that much.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: They don't have hit and runs to deal with. They
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: don't have to put a ball in play when there's
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: runners on base because the Mariners are trying to hit
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: home runs all the time. So the Mariners score runs,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: the fielders don't do anything. They just watch the ball
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: go over the fence or they watch them ground out
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: and flyout. I mean, there's no intricacies of like I said,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: base runners putting a stress on a defense. The stolen
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: base isn't often in play with this team. They don't
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: do hit and runs, they don't bunt, they don't stress
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: a defense. But if you've got a guy with am
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: on base of four hundred plus four hundred four to fourteen,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: I think it is against left handed pitching, that's the
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: one area that has crushed the Mariners left handed pitching
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: in the right handed batsy, we've seen enough of Rob Refsnyder.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: So now that's why they got taylor Ward. But we'll see.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: The lineup is gonna get better overnight until cal Rawley
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: and Julio Rodriguez and Josh Naylor and all of those
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: guys perform. That's just a fact. And Taylor Ward's not
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: going to change that.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't think that any of us thought
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 5: that that move would be the game changer.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: But it's not something bad. It is something that they
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: do need.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 5: And I mean, what were they going to do at
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 5: the trade deadline this year that would give them more
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: than what the talent they have in that clubhouse is
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: capable of doing.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know they're capable.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: They would have had to have trade Kirby and or
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Hancock to get a massive bet that would change the lineup.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: By them, and I'm glad they didn't and I don't.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they really solved these to me, they solved
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: their rotation problem and help their bullpen by trading Castillo.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Now you can have an extra guy in the bullpen.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: We've talked about the six starting pitchers, meaning they have
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: one fewer bullpen arm, and three of those bullpen arms
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: have been triple A guys. Well, I have a major
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: league bullpen guy who makes twenty million dollars and now
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: you're new setup guys. So they got better? Is it
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: good enough? Not until the rest of the lineup team
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: plays better?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this coming in from Marcus who hails from the
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: two h six.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: That person doesn't know baseball.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: This lineup is great now, especially if Kell and Julio
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: can go back to normal.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if great. They got a quick trying
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: to hit home runs.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: They just have the potential they do.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, the talent is there, and we've seen it
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: time after time when we see the sparks of it.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: But yeah, a little more small ball probably could help
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: them out.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: Two five three says great. You said the Mariners don't
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: need another home run guy. Who is their home run guy.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: They have all of them think they are, and that's
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: the problem. They're not hitting home runs generally. Ken Zone
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: was on a hot streak for a little while. It
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: was Andy Rosaman early in the season, Luke Grayley early
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: in the season, Cole Young has been some. They don't
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: have a consistent home run even twenty thirty home run guy.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: That's the point. They all try to hit hor runs
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: and no one's doing it, so why not get it on?
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Bass guy? Try that for a while. Bring up Ryan
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Bliss while you're at it.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, we'll see.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Ryan Bliss has been playing center field for Triple A
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Tacoma recently. I'm not sure what the thinking is there.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: They got enough Outfelters and to call in Seattle, and
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: now they just added another one in Taylor Ward. But
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: more Ryan Bliss. Please bring him up. Make defenses have
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: to play, you make him pincherrun if you have to.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: Not going to start him or I mean, we've seen
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: enough of the lineup as the way it's been constructed.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: So I think Taylor Ward's going to help. But I
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: don't think until the rest of the guys hit, I
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: don't I don't think they're gonna go in.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 5: He's a piece of the puzzle, but he's not the
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 5: final one that you're looking for when it comes to
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 5: have you done puzzles, Greg, and like thousand piece puzzles
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: and there's.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: That one, yes.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: Exactly, and then you know the dog gated or something
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 5: and you can't find it now He's not that guy,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 5: but he could be a very substantial part of this lineup.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: Four. Thanks for the great interviews, picking athletes with interesting
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: stories and not just clear shame machines. Terry from Redmond.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: Thanks Terry, I like that quite a bit.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: This is coming from Keith. Does Greg have any tricks
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: up his sleeve for the Hard Knock cameras? Maybe a
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: magic trick juggling exhibit snap us.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: Perform no performances, Keith, I'm not looking forward to me.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be on there. I don't know,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: I don't expect. No. I saw King five when I'm
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: on with Chris Egan and Paul Silvie. They were telling
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: me that they voted me the most likely beat writer
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: to be on Hard Knocks because of my questions listening
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: answers that would be arable like Mike mcdonaldson. I don't
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: know if he's even where he's going to start the
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: open or not. But that's not I'm not doing that for.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: Performance, no job, you're a journalist.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not intending to be on the show, and there's
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: nothing doubt here that anyone would put a camera on me.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. I'm going to drive ratings.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: I ended up on camera for the colle football part
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 5: of it because Mike Leach was the coach at the time. Yeah,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 5: and I ended up on there, and it was my
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 5: halftime interview, and it was very overwhelming, where I'm used
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: to just chasing Mike Leach, but there were so many cameras,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 5: so many cameras that were just blocking him from being
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: able to run from me that I did get like
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: my first Oh my gosh, we're walking and I'm interviewing you.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: And so the interview was good because I got to
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: actually walk quickly instead of sprinting.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: After this show coming up, Jessamine, where you just tell
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Mike Leach stories.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, there's so many. I know, there's just so many.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Of them, but mostly we can't.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 5: There are probably more non airworthy ones than on airworthy ones,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 5: but I can tell some really good ones from my
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 5: own personal experience.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, We're gonna have to do that sometimes too. Three
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: secs though, did Luis Gestilla refuse to go to the bullpen.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was asked. From what I've gathered,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: why trade him to add a mid bullpen arm? Well, again,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: math is part of the reason you trade him. Both
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: math and the money that he owed. Yeah, it says
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: they were only trying to save money, not improve the team.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: They were trying to save money. And that's how Jerry
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: Depoto keeps his job because that's what John Stanton and
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: the investors and the Mariners, well, the Coners and Marion's love.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: But I think they got better just by fixing that
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: six man rotation issue. As I mentioned the math and
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: allowing now a veteran reliever to come in, which they needed,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: and now they have an extra bullpen arm instead of
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: six starters. I think that helps them. We'll see. My
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: opinion is it helped. It was a good move that
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: you had to fix. And the whole reason we talked about,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: the whole reason they had the six man rotation is
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: to trade Guestillo, to keep him showcased so that he
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: was tradable. The White Sox would not have picked up
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: his contract and traded for him if he was in
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: the bullpen he was a starter, and then they traded
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: for starter, so he went right into their rotation. I'll
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: start in Boston on Thursdays. Scott Murcantal is yesterday been
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of two six It has been a lot
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: of comparisons between the dark Side and the LB dark side.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: Of course, the current defense the LB the previous superwool iterations.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: For me, I would still pick the Legion to boom
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: because everyone knew what they were doing and still had
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: no answers. It's more of a guessing game for the
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: offense against coach McDonald's defense. That is true. There is
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: a lot more subterfuge and confusion of the offense done
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: by McDonald changing his alignments and calls right at the
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: snap than there was with Mike. With Pete Carroll it
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: was four to three cover three. Here we go. We're
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: not changing our Jimmies and Joe's are better than your
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: ex'es and O's. We've talked about this many times and
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: it worked until the rest of the league caught up
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: with them. It worked.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: We have a late incoming talkback that is it's relevant.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 10: So what did Taylor Ward really bring to this team? Yeah,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 10: you got a guy gets on base. That's awesome that
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 10: you need guys to hit the ball to move them
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 10: around those bases. In you've got what two guys hitting
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 10: over two sixty on this squad and eighty three oh,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 10: not going to see much of an impact there. Ye again,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 10: same old, same old Mariners, no big splash moves, no
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 10: big names.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 6: What's what's new?
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: What isn't four to two five echoes that say mediocre
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: trays by a mediocre team.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: I mean that's how people feel right now.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: Two five to three asked, is this the first season
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: of Hard Knocks with a cutdown of from ninety to
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: fifty three and one shot? No, that first changed and
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: I think it was twenty twenty three.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a while ago.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Was the first year that that rule change. They used
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: to have a seventy five interminute media cut mid or
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: late August, and then seventy five down to fifty three.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Now it's ninety to fifty three. Over eleven hundred players
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: become available at one time on August thirtieth, cutdown day,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: eleven hundred players in the league become available at one time.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: In Hard Knocks's chronicle debt for at least the last
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: three years. But good question. In Good contact Hard Knocks

• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: And he joins me here from the Seahawks facility where
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: it's filling up with fans again. You're right, it is
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: a different deal when the fans are a very different deal.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: A little more noise than traffic and a.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 11: Lot of going, a lot going on, a lot going on.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 11: It's uh, I heard your thing last segment about the
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 11: cutdown days. I remember in those days, the seventy five Yeah,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 11: and now I remember Pete was. Remember how outspoken Pete
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 11: was about that. He was so like, why are we
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 11: doing this?
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: Because?
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 11: And because he wanted and I think most coaches did.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 11: He was the one guy that really kind of said it.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 11: He didn't care, and he was right like especially and nowadays,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 11: I mean, nobody playing in the first preseason game too,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 11: maybe makes no sense. That was what I think that
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 11: was his biggest thing is likely by the time we
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 11: get to the fourth preseason game, because there's still four
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 11: back then, I don't have guys to play that I
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 11: want to play, right, you know. And yet the owners
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 11: want to have that fourth preseason game because they put
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 11: money in their pockets.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: So but yeah, we're gonna go down to two soon.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be eighteen regular season games in two preseason
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: games that's coming. What will the players make the owners
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: give up in order to do that? I say it
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: should be grass fields. There are other things you could
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: make in the CBA.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 11: So the earliest EFL could happen is when twenty eight, right,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 11: because they've already had the schedule. There's something that came
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 11: out with the schedule in twenty twenty seven, not the schedule.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: But well, the scheduled the super Bowl date. That's right, Yeah,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: they set the super Bowl. That's what it was, yea,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: which triggered it's the whole schedule, and they can't have
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: an eighteenth season a game in the season with the
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: super Bowl date set there is that would be twenty
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. Twenty right in twenty thirty is when the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: CBA ends. But the NFL holds an option to renegotiate
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: this CBA based on new media rights deals that they
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: have that option too, and there are mechanisms for them
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: to go to the players before two. I wonder.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 11: I wonder, Greg, if you don't get in front of
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 11: that CBA situation.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: With that being.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 11: Said, with the the with eighteen game schedule, all that
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 11: and everything else involved, as you mentioned, get in front
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 11: of that sooner than later. And here's why you're gonna
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 11: watch another league go in the lockout, strike, whatever they
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 11: want to call it next year. It might be a lockout,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 11: it might be strike, who knows what it is with MLB.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think that's we all believe that's inevitable. Right,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 11: So get in front of this thing, man, keep keep
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 11: your status as the juggernaut. I mean that the NHL
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 11: got it done early, the NBA got it done early.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 11: If football gets done early, just makes baseball look as
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 11: dumb as ever, which that's how baseball is or just.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Stupid baseball is about this mobile. There's just the dumbest
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: league in that before it canceled a World Series.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 11: You know, baseball just says thank God for the w
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 11: NBA Otherwise we would be the dumbest people on the planet.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: But on the on the field yesterday, I wanted to say,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: what did what do you think of Bud Clark getting
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: the nickname and Warria right away?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 11: Fire hose, learn it as you go. Yeah, I think
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 11: you're just it makes sense to do it now. Anybody
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 11: can I can't see I can't he just body wise,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 11: I can't see him being there. Yeah, right, it doesn't
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 11: make sense. But normal what you had today. We are
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 11: going to check in. I believe Charles Cross will join
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 11: us early. Do a little hard hard knocks conversation.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: Got a little I.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 11: Got a little rundown in my pocket that we'll go
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 11: through at some points. Give away some cornhole stuff. Oh,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 11: let's see what else. Joe San also joining us and
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 11: John Londday So yeah, busy show.
• 1:21:37
