Speaker 3: Yeah he is. We had we felt we stumbled into
1:24
Speaker 3: his love for ponies.
1:25
Speaker 4: We had no idea we were having him on to
1:26
Speaker 4: talk Stanley Cup and we were like, wait a minute,
1:29
Speaker 4: what is happening?
1:30
Speaker 1: And his reputation now precedes him.
1:32
Speaker 2: The text line was blown up with don't you let
1:35
Speaker 2: him go without his Belmont Steaks?
1:37
Speaker 1: Right?

2:02
Speaker 1: Vegas and Carolina tied one one Yesterday.
2:05
Speaker 2: I was at Seahawks OTA's organized team activities. It's the
2:09
Speaker 2: last practice of the voluntary stage of the off season
2:11
Speaker 2: for the Super Bowl champions. Cooper Cup is back at
2:14
Speaker 2: the age thirty two. He's made one hundred and sixteen
2:17
Speaker 2: million dollars. He has a beautiful wife. His high school
2:20
Speaker 2: sweet already met. She's went to Richland High School. He
2:23
Speaker 2: went to Davis High School in Yakumar. They met at
2:24
Speaker 2: a track meet and they have three young boys, seven ays,
2:28
Speaker 2: seven to three and two.
2:30
Speaker 1: I think their ages are. And so I asked him,
2:33
Speaker 1: you've won two Super Bowls? Did you want to just.
2:36
Speaker 2: Ride out in the sunset right out of top No
2:38
Speaker 2: one gets to do that. That's so rare in professional sports.
2:40
Speaker 2: Win a second Super Bowl and ride off to your
2:44
Speaker 2: life with your wife and three boys. And he looked
2:47
Speaker 2: at me like I was crazy. This is Cooper Cup
2:50
Speaker 2: here on ninety three point three KJRFM.
2:53
Speaker 5: So everyone fantastic.
2:57
Speaker 6: Sam sung similar yesterday, but different as this feel for
3:00
Speaker 6: you guys.
3:01
Speaker 1: All being together for a full year versus.
3:03
Speaker 7: Last year year in offense, Yeah, I m I can't
3:08
Speaker 7: speak for everyone, but I know for me personally, coming
3:10
Speaker 7: in knowing people, knowing how to get around the facility,
3:12
Speaker 7: knowing how to get to the facility, like all those
3:15
Speaker 7: things like having a house, having a home, all those things.
3:19
Speaker 5: Is it's uh, that felt very different this year.
3:21
Speaker 7: And obviously knowing a little bit about the guys, how
3:26
Speaker 7: you know, how things are run here, how Mike operates,
3:28
Speaker 7: how we operate as a team and all that, so
3:31
Speaker 7: all the stuff that goes into functioning at a high level.
3:34
Speaker 5: Just being a little bit ahead definitely helpful. Did you get.
3:37
Speaker 2: Any thoughts and maybe going out on top?
3:39
Speaker 5: Well, oh no, never for a second.
3:41
Speaker 7: I'm I'm loving playing this game too much, and I just, uh,
3:46
Speaker 7: I love playing football, and so I'm I'm enjoying it.
3:49
Speaker 5: And yeah, so that was never a.
3:51
Speaker 1: Thought the messages running forward.
3:54
Speaker 6: But the second time you've went to Super Bowl in
3:57
Speaker 6: the locker room, what do you guys take away from
4:00
Speaker 6: the knowledge that you've you've gotten to before you're going
4:02
Speaker 6: It's a different.
4:06
Speaker 5: I don't know.
4:06
Speaker 7: I mean, there's always like like, no matter what happens
4:10
Speaker 7: from one year to the next, there's gonna be good
4:13
Speaker 7: and there's gonna be bad, And I think that what
4:16
Speaker 7: you don't want to fall into is this idea of
4:18
Speaker 7: thinking that just because something worked, that it was the
4:20
Speaker 7: best way of doing things. But at the same time,
4:22
Speaker 7: there's the balance of knowing that if something did work,
4:25
Speaker 7: sometimes it's best not to fix something that was working.
4:30
Speaker 7: So all that being said, it's like, you treat this
4:33
Speaker 7: just like any other year. You you look at the
4:35
Speaker 7: things that you look at your film, you look at
4:38
Speaker 7: the process, you look at you know, your like what
4:41
Speaker 7: you put on tape and what you uh, what.
4:43
Speaker 5: Your year was the year before. You identify things that
4:46
Speaker 5: can get better.
4:47
Speaker 7: You scrutinize, and then you know, you build on those
4:51
Speaker 7: things all off season and you try to attack the weaknesses,
4:55
Speaker 7: you know, like regard that you don't look at the
4:57
Speaker 7: results at all. I think that's just kind of the
5:00
Speaker 7: that's the best way to do it because that's what
5:02
Speaker 7: you've done. All these guys there in this building have
5:04
Speaker 7: done that year after year, if their entire lives. That's
5:06
Speaker 7: why you're playing in the NFL right now. It's because
5:09
Speaker 7: you've continually found ways to get better, and you know,
5:12
Speaker 7: take that same.
5:13
Speaker 5: Approach regard regardless of what the result was.
5:15
Speaker 7: It's like, hey, we can get better, we can scrutinize,
5:18
Speaker 7: we can be being dive into things and just because
5:22
Speaker 7: something worked, that doesn't mean that we can't still find ways.
5:24
Speaker 5: To improve on it.
5:26
Speaker 1: How do you maintain that consistency when you have a
5:29
Speaker 1: new offensive order.
5:30
Speaker 3: Here this year for last year.
5:31
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, you know, there's a certain standard of operation that.
5:35
Speaker 7: We you know, live by and a mentality that you
5:37
Speaker 7: having step in this building, and so no part is
5:39
Speaker 7: just you know, carrying through that like that that needs
5:43
Speaker 7: to stay the same and being in a headspace, being
5:46
Speaker 7: a bringing the energy to allow the work to get done.
5:50
Speaker 7: That's going to allow you to get better. And you know,
5:53
Speaker 7: Brian's an unbelievable job of himself meeting that standard and
5:56
Speaker 7: coming in with an ability to challenge people and push people,
6:00
Speaker 7: find ways to tinker and find the ways to get
6:02
Speaker 7: the best out of people and and recognizing personnel what
6:05
Speaker 7: the strengths and weaknesses are here. And he's been he's
6:08
Speaker 7: been awesome in terms of just how he's installing things
6:10
Speaker 7: in the detail of all that. So we're just gonna
6:12
Speaker 7: keep getting better, and there is a the way that
6:16
Speaker 7: you keep continuity is by continuing to keep that same energy,
6:19
Speaker 7: that the same process and uh coming ready to work last.
6:24
Speaker 8: Year, If I remember correctly, I think you described Clint
6:26
Speaker 8: Kobak as someone who was pulled off a ranch in
6:29
Speaker 8: Texas to be an NFL coordinators that I think, so, yeah,
6:33
Speaker 8: I don't think I'm not disupporting you. But how would
6:35
Speaker 8: you describe Brian Fleury?
6:40
Speaker 7: Yeah, Uh, I mean he's I thought Clint was so uh,
6:47
Speaker 7: you know, calm, soft spoken, how he like went about
6:52
Speaker 7: like there's times like there's gonna be fiery moments and
6:56
Speaker 7: things like that. But I thought he was so calm
6:58
Speaker 7: and collecting all of this stuff. And like Brian's given
7:00
Speaker 7: clanned run for the money in terms of that same
7:02
Speaker 7: demeanor of just like, hey, there's gonna be a there's
7:05
Speaker 7: just a clear understanding and so there's not a there's
7:08
Speaker 7: no jittery energy, there's no like false energy.
7:11
Speaker 5: It's just, hey, this is is what I know to
7:13
Speaker 5: be true. This is how we're.
7:14
Speaker 7: Gonna you know, execute it. These are my expectations, and
7:17
Speaker 7: we go out there and make it happen. Then we'll
7:18
Speaker 7: make corrections and move forward.
7:19
Speaker 5: And so.
7:21
Speaker 7: He allows guys to I think you allow a lot
7:23
Speaker 7: of freedom in that a lot of guys to just
7:25
Speaker 7: play free and let it go because you know there's
7:27
Speaker 7: gonna be someone that knows what they're talking about and
7:30
Speaker 7: is ready to coach you in that regard.
7:31
Speaker 5: So he's been awesome in that way.
7:33
Speaker 7: I don't have a geographical location for you from where
7:36
Speaker 7: he came from, but but he's been great.
7:38
Speaker 6: How do you how did you put last year kind
7:40
Speaker 6: of perspectively? Do you just think about it, you know,
7:42
Speaker 6: kind of do a new team and all the two
7:43
Speaker 6: to the fan that ended up at the.
7:44
Speaker 4: Super Bowl and all that.
7:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it was a it was It was
7:49
Speaker 7: a really cool journey, incredible like looking back on and
7:53
Speaker 7: all the highs and lows and things like that. But yeah,
7:57
Speaker 7: I mean it's just it's, like all that being said,
7:59
Speaker 7: it's just great being here now, being here with the guys,
8:02
Speaker 7: understanding that there's a relationship. There's just there is a
8:05
Speaker 7: lot of continuity going into this year, a lot of
8:08
Speaker 7: built trust and uh and camaraderie that's I think has
8:12
Speaker 7: carried in and made you know, coming here this year,
8:16
Speaker 7: you know, some really good feeling heading into O Tas
8:18
Speaker 7: and the work that we put.
8:20
Speaker 2: In Super Bowl teams work and guys get paid in
8:23
Speaker 2: the league, and are you surprised at how much continuity
8:25
Speaker 2: they work able to retain ups there for this year?
8:29
Speaker 7: I don't know about surprising. I mean I have like, uh,
8:34
Speaker 7: I think we I think it's a fun place, can't work.
8:37
Speaker 7: I thin it's a fun, fun.
8:40
Speaker 5: Organization to be a part of.
8:41
Speaker 7: And got a lot of really good people here, and uh,
8:45
Speaker 7: you know, you come to work and you have got
8:47
Speaker 7: If you want to be about the right stuff, you're
8:49
Speaker 7: gonna be around a lot of the right people here.
8:52
Speaker 7: And so I think that you know breeds, Like I said, Man,
8:55
Speaker 7: this is something that's it's not like that everywhere. You know,
8:58
Speaker 7: I've heard I've only been in two places, but I've
9:00
Speaker 7: heard horror stories. Thankfully never had to live in those places.
9:05
Speaker 7: But it's a there's a few places I know that
9:08
Speaker 7: around the league that are are unique in that way.
9:10
Speaker 7: And I think we've got a little bit of an
9:13
Speaker 7: uncommon thing here.
9:14
Speaker 8: What goes through your mind when you walk in here
9:15
Speaker 8: and you see the banner up there?
9:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I mean it was, Uh, that's cool.
9:20
Speaker 7: It's like there's there's moments of reflection, right, There's moments
9:24
Speaker 7: of understanding that we should these banners that's helping the
9:28
Speaker 7: up here is like there's a story and uh a
9:32
Speaker 7: lot of you know, blood, sweat and tears behind each
9:35
Speaker 7: of them, and so there's a there's like the the
9:37
Speaker 7: respect for what went into those things and then what
9:39
Speaker 7: those stand for and the journey that they stand for,
9:43
Speaker 7: the hardships that were overcoming the shows things. But it's
9:47
Speaker 7: also like at the end of that moment of reflection
9:50
Speaker 7: is like the the period at the end that says like, well,
9:54
Speaker 7: like like now what you know, it's like.
9:56
Speaker 5: This is yeah, that's where it took.
9:58
Speaker 7: This is what like that that was, and now you're
10:00
Speaker 7: in it and you're moving forward and there's an opportunity
10:03
Speaker 7: to go and be a part of another one experience
10:06
Speaker 7: what it's like to go and chase after something really
10:10
Speaker 7: special like that.
10:11
Speaker 6: You remember, I guess what the biggest challenge was when
10:14
Speaker 6: the people put through us with the rod when they won.
10:15
Speaker 5: A Super Bowl from one year to the next.
10:18
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean those are it's so unique, right,
10:20
Speaker 7: like you know, it's so unique we uh you know
10:24
Speaker 7: back in twenty two, like the the injuries and things
10:27
Speaker 7: that were going on, and we weren't able, like we
10:30
Speaker 7: were out here you know, we've been out here for
10:33
Speaker 7: however I can I don't want to see the amount of
10:34
Speaker 7: time we've been out here for the max allotted amount
10:37
Speaker 7: of time for OTAs and like and competing the whole time,
10:40
Speaker 7: you know, And we weren't even like, we weren't capable
10:42
Speaker 7: of doing that in twenty twenty two in LA because
10:45
Speaker 7: we had just soun the injuries we got, like we
10:46
Speaker 7: couldn't do it. So it's very different, right in terms
10:49
Speaker 7: of how like what's your approach in that regard And
10:51
Speaker 7: what's been great is just being able to come back
10:53
Speaker 7: here and guys are healthy, guys are competing, and uh,
10:56
Speaker 7: it's been like it's been some really good work, you know,
11:00
Speaker 7: moving forward and like I said, being able to chase
11:02
Speaker 7: them especially.
11:03
Speaker 9: Are the importance of having honest discussion and you're building
11:06
Speaker 9: a challenge of environment that continues to build and you
11:10
Speaker 9: talk about that.
11:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean, shoot, just like anything that's worth
11:16
Speaker 7: going through is gonna be difficult.
11:17
Speaker 5: If it's easy, you're gonna get to.
11:19
Speaker 7: The end of the at the end of that journey,
11:21
Speaker 7: and whatever you're holding at the end of that it's
11:23
Speaker 7: not gonna hold much weight.
11:24
Speaker 5: And it's just that's just how life seems to be.
11:28
Speaker 7: And it's like my wife and I take that same
11:30
Speaker 7: approach in our marriage in terms of having hard conversations
11:33
Speaker 7: and not running away from difficult things and being able
11:36
Speaker 7: to face them head on together and in the same way.
11:39
Speaker 7: And I want my marriage to be great the same
11:42
Speaker 7: way you want an organization to be great. You gotta
11:44
Speaker 7: be able to tell the truth to each other, you
11:45
Speaker 7: gotta be able to have hard conversations. You've got to
11:47
Speaker 7: be able to model those things and be accepting of
11:50
Speaker 7: the fact that, like, there's gonna be times that you
11:51
Speaker 7: do fall short, and when you do get called on it,
11:54
Speaker 7: be able looking at yourself in the mirror and say like, yeah,
11:56
Speaker 7: that was that was wrong, and we're gonna find a
11:59
Speaker 7: way to know get through it and find the way
12:02
Speaker 7: we want to operate. And so regardless of whatever successes
12:05
Speaker 7: have happened, regardless of whatever I said, whatever results.
12:08
Speaker 5: Is, we can win a game. Just because you win
12:10
Speaker 5: a game.
12:11
Speaker 7: Doesn't mean there aren't some good hard conversations that need
12:13
Speaker 7: to happen on that Monday morning about things that we
12:15
Speaker 7: need to do better. Because guys that are gonna get
12:17
Speaker 7: coached hard because the result doesn't change what the process was, right, Like,
12:23
Speaker 7: like we want to be about the process, going about
12:25
Speaker 7: be about challenging ourselves to be the best day in
12:28
Speaker 7: and day out, to give ourselves the best chance at
12:31
Speaker 7: a positive outcome. That only happens by you know, constantly
12:35
Speaker 7: scrutinizing that process and how we operate, and that takes
12:38
Speaker 7: hard conversations and some good like people are willing to
12:41
Speaker 7: be challenged.
12:41
Speaker 6: You guys were the best two tight ends the team
12:43
Speaker 6: in the AFL last year at the Rams were the
12:45
Speaker 6: best three tight end.
12:46
Speaker 5: A lot of tight ends.
12:48
Speaker 1: Getting added to offensive.
12:49
Speaker 6: What do you see with how.
12:51
Speaker 5: Tight ends and the relations to.
12:52
Speaker 1: The slot receiver.
12:54
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's cool. It's cool that the three tight end
12:57
Speaker 7: offense is called the modern offense. Right like two years
13:00
Speaker 7: ago that wasn't the case. And so it's just it's cool.
13:04
Speaker 7: I've seen it, like the cycle, it's all like everyone's
13:07
Speaker 7: just chasing each other. It's a dog chasing a tail, right,
13:09
Speaker 7: Like who's gonna.
13:10
Speaker 5: Have the upper hand?
13:11
Speaker 7: Defenses moved into the cover four stuff offenses moved into
13:15
Speaker 7: heavier tight end sets, and like pay, where's gonna run
13:17
Speaker 7: the ball? Make you get your stats? Is going have
13:20
Speaker 7: to get back in the box. So it'll be interesting
13:22
Speaker 7: to see what happens. You know, what's what's the next
13:24
Speaker 7: move gonna be. I think it's the defensive turn this
13:28
Speaker 7: year to figure out what they're gonna do. So we'll
13:30
Speaker 7: see if they answer the bell for us.
13:32
Speaker 9: You've talked about the battancing act of you know, not
13:36
Speaker 9: re emitting the wheel but also being able to evolve
13:39
Speaker 9: from the coach flurry standpoint, Why are you seeing him
13:41
Speaker 9: handle that, coming in with a similar system but trying
13:44
Speaker 9: to put his own stamp upon it.
13:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's the like you can't there's no
13:49
Speaker 7: copy and paste right like where he's coming from bad
13:52
Speaker 7: players that had certain you know, characteristics, certain strengths, certain weaknesses,
13:57
Speaker 7: and your jobs to take a lot of those same
13:59
Speaker 7: concepts and and take like a lot of the things
14:01
Speaker 7: that he believes in, and.
14:03
Speaker 5: How do you.
14:05
Speaker 7: Formulate that and how do you tweak it, and how
14:07
Speaker 7: do you make it your own to fit who the
14:09
Speaker 7: Seahawks are this year, and how do we make that
14:12
Speaker 7: come to life? And so there's a there's a balancing
14:14
Speaker 7: act there. And that's the great thing about I think
14:17
Speaker 7: coaching in general is you've got this opportunity to always
14:19
Speaker 7: grow and build and change and adapt use. If you don't,
14:23
Speaker 7: you die, and so like it's, uh, they've done a
14:26
Speaker 7: great job of that. It's gonna be really cool to
14:27
Speaker 7: see as it continues. Like you get so many of
14:29
Speaker 7: these reps you're in O t as. Now they get
14:31
Speaker 7: an opportunity to you know, have six after this mini camp.
14:34
Speaker 7: It gets you know, five or six weeks to be
14:36
Speaker 7: able to like build on these things. So when we
14:37
Speaker 7: come back for training camp, there's answers for the things
14:40
Speaker 7: that maybe there were questions about before. There's new things
14:42
Speaker 7: that we're gonna be able to get challenged on. And yeah,
14:45
Speaker 7: it's a it's gonna be a really cool thing. We
14:47
Speaker 7: got the right people doing it.
14:48
Speaker 6: What do you think of being on hard knocks?
14:51
Speaker 7: That's goodly great, it's great.
14:55
Speaker 5: It's gonna suck, it'll be good.
14:58
Speaker 7: You know, I've I've done it before, and it's like
15:00
Speaker 7: it almost like you you kind of like dread it
15:02
Speaker 7: because you're like, gosh, dang it. The like cameras being
15:05
Speaker 7: everywhere is challenging, but it does kind of just fade
15:08
Speaker 7: into the background eventually.
15:10
Speaker 5: So it'll be fine. I'm sure it'll be good. I've
15:13
Speaker 5: told Uh. I've told phrase.
15:15
Speaker 7: Ione to ask him some really challenging questions as soon
15:17
Speaker 7: as like every time he walks in the room, like
15:19
Speaker 7: as soon as the cameras are on, really challenging, just
15:22
Speaker 7: like test some things, you know, put me in some
15:24
Speaker 7: uncomfortable situations.
15:27
Speaker 5: We'll see how he handles it.
15:30
Speaker 7: Soccer fan, the World Cup, I will inevitably, inevitably watch
15:36
Speaker 7: the World Cup. I like, I don't watch a ton
15:39
Speaker 7: of stuff right I'm out on the TV.
15:41
Speaker 5: I watched TV a ton. I watch the French Open.
15:43
Speaker 7: I love tennis, like when the major like like major
15:46
Speaker 7: tennis tournaments are on, I'm watching, Like when it's like
15:50
Speaker 7: like NBA finals are on, I'm watching hockey, like when
15:55
Speaker 7: the hockey will get to the end of the year,
15:56
Speaker 7: a Stley Cup, I'm watching. So I'm I'm kind of like,
15:59
Speaker 7: I kind of nitpick that choose the more intense times.
16:03
Speaker 5: So your prediction on who wins is what?
16:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sure I'm gonna say something that's just outrageous
16:09
Speaker 7: for whoever. I don't think it's ever been done before,
16:14
Speaker 7: but it would be from what i've what I've I've gathered,
16:17
Speaker 7: it would be an outrageous underdog story. But like if
16:21
Speaker 7: the US were to pull something together, it would be
16:26
Speaker 7: like it would be crazy, right, Yeah, has that ever
16:29
Speaker 7: been done before?
16:30
Speaker 5: United States? No? Got them in.
16:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, But and then it's like they haven't exactly built
16:39
Speaker 7: confidence in the early stages. So we'll see though. They're
16:43
Speaker 7: saving up, they're saving they've gone through the trials, pardoned
16:47
Speaker 7: by fire. They're ready to go.
16:48
Speaker 5: Thank you.
16:51
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup Seahawks thirty two year old former Super Bowl
16:54
Speaker 2: MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the Year wide receiver
16:59
Speaker 2: back for a second. He's inn a three or forty
17:01
Speaker 2: five million dollar contract. No, the US men have never
17:04
Speaker 2: won the World Cup. Their best finish was semifinals in
17:06
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty, the first World I remember that you were
17:10
Speaker 2: around for that. You watch that on fox YEP.
17:13
Speaker 3: I sure did four K.
17:16
Speaker 1: Four K in nineteen thirty. It was a couple of
17:20
Speaker 1: interesting points.
17:21
Speaker 2: He talked about Brian Fleury, saying that he's given Clint
17:23
Speaker 2: Kubiak a run for his money as low key and
17:27
Speaker 2: quiet demeanor.
17:28
Speaker 1: Wise, we'll talk next segment what I've.
17:31
Speaker 2: Seen from Brian Fleury, the new OC on the field
17:33
Speaker 2: so far and the practices.
17:35
Speaker 1: And you heard him say the culture again.
17:37
Speaker 2: Ashley didn't you when he was talking about how he's
17:39
Speaker 2: heard horror stories of how it says at other YEAH teams,
17:43
Speaker 2: and he said, we got something really special here, and
17:45
Speaker 2: if you want to do something special, do they have
17:47
Speaker 2: the people with the right stuff in this building. That's
17:50
Speaker 2: another reason he's back and wants to stay as long
17:53
Speaker 2: as they'll have him here. It was good, Bob Condota
17:57
Speaker 2: Seattle Times was good. He asked him about Hard Knocks
18:00
Speaker 2: because Cooper Cup's been on it twice. The Rams are
18:02
Speaker 2: on in twenty sixteen and again in twenty when the
18:05
Speaker 2: Rams and Chargers were co features as co tenants when
18:08
Speaker 2: the Chargers had moved up from San Diego, and so
18:11
Speaker 2: he's been through it twice, and he's funny Cody. He says, yeah,
18:15
Speaker 2: it's great, it's great. It's going to suck. But he said,
18:17
Speaker 2: eventually the cameras just fade around to the back and
18:21
Speaker 2: you don't notice them as much. But actually they're not thrilled.
18:25
Speaker 2: Mike McDonald is not at all. He jokes about how oh,
18:27
Speaker 2: I love it.
18:29
Speaker 1: John Schneider has said publicly, we're going to be cordial.
18:31
Speaker 2: We're going to give him access that they want, but
18:33
Speaker 2: we'ren't trying to not disclose anything because this environment and
18:37
Speaker 2: culture is something that they seep as proprietary to them
18:41
Speaker 2: and they don't want that blasted all over the place.
18:44
Speaker 5: Now.
18:44
Speaker 2: I have been told that in the last couple of
18:46
Speaker 2: years from other teams that the NFL films does defer
18:50
Speaker 2: to the teams more than they used to about what
18:52
Speaker 2: gets aired. It used to be NFL films just tried
18:56
Speaker 2: to air everything they were taping, and they're in the
18:59
Speaker 2: meeting rooms. You remember they saw the whole Saquon Barkley
19:02
Speaker 2: in the offseason Giants one where they revealed the whole
19:05
Speaker 2: machinations of letting them go and the Eagles signing them,
19:08
Speaker 2: and that that was awkward, right, It blew up in
19:11
Speaker 2: the Giants' faces, right, the decision makers. So I've been
19:15
Speaker 2: told that it's a little there's a little more given
19:17
Speaker 2: take between the teams and NFL films on what actually
19:20
Speaker 2: gets aired, and that could be to the Seahawks advantage
19:23
Speaker 2: on not disclosing everything about the Super Bowl champions culture.
19:27
Speaker 2: Up next, we're going to talk about what I've seen
19:29
Speaker 2: on the field from the Seahawks and the OTAs. At

21:26
Speaker 2: air every game night here on ninety three point three KJRFM. Tomorrow,
21:31
Speaker 2: we actually have a couple things going on tomorrow. We
21:33
Speaker 2: got the US against Germany and one of the final
21:36
Speaker 2: tune ups before the World Cup starts. That's Westwood One's
21:40
Speaker 2: broadcast tomorrow afternoon. I believe that's a one o'clock Pacific
21:44
Speaker 2: kickoff US Germany World Cup tune up before the World
21:50
Speaker 2: Cup begins June eleventh. Of course, the US plays here
21:53
Speaker 2: in Seattle June nineteenth against Australia. That's the second of
21:57
Speaker 2: four group stage matches here at Lumenfield in Seattle.
22:01
Speaker 1: They're not gonna call it Lumenfield Seattle Stadius Stadium.
22:05
Speaker 3: It's gonna put a blanket over the Luminfield part.
22:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
22:08
Speaker 2: They actually it's just his field on one side of
22:10
Speaker 2: the stadium right now. FIFA doesn't want any advertising. There'll
22:14
Speaker 2: also be games in Vancouver and in the Bay Area,
22:17
Speaker 2: and in Los Angeles on the West Coast, and then Seattle.
22:20
Speaker 2: After the four group stage matches, gets a round of
22:22
Speaker 2: thirty two game and a Round of sixteen match the
22:25
Speaker 2: first week first nine days or so of July, before
22:29
Speaker 2: the World Cup then goes into its quarterfinal stage, which
22:32
Speaker 2: the US has only made, I believe, one time in
22:34
Speaker 2: the last half century. We'll see where the US get
22:37
Speaker 2: as a forty eighteen tournament. Now it used to be
22:40
Speaker 2: it's expanded, it used to be thirty two. So there's
22:42
Speaker 2: about sixteen teams that really shouldn't be here, which is
22:44
Speaker 2: going to water down the group stages frankly, and then
22:47
Speaker 2: the tournament tournament really gets going around to sixteen in
22:51
Speaker 2: the knockout stages, but the knockout stages being in a
22:54
Speaker 2: round thirty round of thirty two. This year, John boy
22:57
Speaker 2: is going to join us at the top of the
22:58
Speaker 2: hour to talk about the one series that the Chuck
23:02
Speaker 2: and Bucks Show has about featuring Seahawks players and the
23:04
Speaker 2: Seahawk player Today, John's gonna features Jackson Smith and Jigba.
23:08
Speaker 2: I'm also going to ask him about other things we've
23:10
Speaker 2: seen at Seahawks OTAs what I've seen. Let's start with
23:15
Speaker 2: Brian Fleury, the new offensive coordinator. He was the tight
23:17
Speaker 2: ends coach for the San Francisco forty nine ers. He's
23:19
Speaker 2: here because he is an extension of the same outside
23:23
Speaker 2: Zone Shanahan coaching tree system that Clint Kubiak ran last
23:28
Speaker 2: year to such success to the Super Bowl Brian Flurry
23:32
Speaker 2: of the same mold.
23:33
Speaker 1: So we're going to st still see outside zone. We're
23:36
Speaker 1: still going to see.
23:37
Speaker 2: The Shanahan tree, the Santahan offense that Kubiak ran. But
23:41
Speaker 2: there are different twists already emerging. I see more two backs.
23:45
Speaker 2: I mean they they're in some fullback with Robbie Heots
23:48
Speaker 2: as the rookie last year, and then he got hurt
23:49
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, and Brady Russell was
23:51
Speaker 2: doing some fullback. But by Mars they didn't really do
23:54
Speaker 2: a lot of two back offense. They're doing a lot more,
23:57
Speaker 2: at least so far in the scrimmaging now. Some of
23:59
Speaker 2: that is because they're trying to install the new I
24:00
Speaker 2: get it. They're also doing slip motions I call it
24:05
Speaker 2: where the motion is right before the snap and it's
24:08
Speaker 2: not very far. It's maybe from a wing out to
24:10
Speaker 2: a slot or a slot out wider or from wider
24:14
Speaker 2: into the slot. The Rams and Sean McVay do this
24:17
Speaker 2: a lot to try to create Miss mc cooper. Cup
24:20
Speaker 2: became a ten time millionaire because of this particular Sean
24:26
Speaker 2: McVay innovation and now, a lot of teams in the
24:28
Speaker 2: league do it, and we seeing Brian Flurry do it
24:31
Speaker 2: here in these OTAs, and what they're trying to get
24:32
Speaker 2: is mismatches, getting defenders out off of their leverage path
24:37
Speaker 2: before the snap with this quick I mean, it's like
24:39
Speaker 2: a one or two second motion boom boom, snap, and
24:43
Speaker 2: you get a couple steps on that defender, either inside
24:46
Speaker 2: or outside, depending on the route you're trying to get to.
24:49
Speaker 2: We're seeing more of that from Flurry too, because he's
24:52
Speaker 2: a tight ends coach. It would make sense they're going
24:55
Speaker 2: to feature tight ends right Well, not so much yet,
24:59
Speaker 2: according to A. J. Barner we're talking to him yesterday,
25:01
Speaker 2: But then again, AJ Barner said, I haven't been on
25:03
Speaker 2: the field. Barner had two surgeries in the offseason, one
25:06
Speaker 2: on his ankle, one on his shoulder. He said he
25:09
Speaker 2: is almost completely hit from all of that. He's been
25:12
Speaker 2: on a side field along with Eric Sobert, the veteran
25:14
Speaker 2: tight end more of a blocker, special teams guy. They've
25:18
Speaker 2: both been on a side field with a trainer. So
25:20
Speaker 2: it's been Nick Caller up in a cast of a
25:22
Speaker 2: bunch of young players at tight end, along with Elijah Royo,
25:27
Speaker 2: Arroyo is more of a shudder to say, Jimmy Graham
25:31
Speaker 2: type of tight end, hate to bring that name up
25:34
Speaker 2: here in the city, but meaning more of a wide
25:37
Speaker 2: receiver tight end than an inline tight end like aj
25:40
Speaker 2: Barner is. Barner, by the way, says he wants to
25:43
Speaker 2: be an All Pro. He said he wants to be
25:45
Speaker 2: the best in the league. He thinks that he has
25:47
Speaker 2: the unique skills of walking in receiving much like a
25:51
Speaker 2: George Kittle type in San Francisco, and he openly says, yeah,
25:55
Speaker 2: my goal is to be an All Pro. And he
25:58
Speaker 2: feels like now he's through the pain that he played
26:01
Speaker 2: with on his ankle and shoulders that got repaired. He's
26:04
Speaker 2: said right after the season, it was pretty humbling. He
26:06
Speaker 2: went from the winning the Super Bowl for the first time,
26:09
Speaker 2: wearing mink coats and all the stuff he was doing.
26:11
Speaker 3: Do you see that that's the best? Yeah, he's just
26:13
Speaker 3: got It's such a great personality.
26:15
Speaker 5: Love it.
26:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, Aurora, Ohio. Guy grew up about an hour from
26:18
Speaker 2: where I grew up. Then he went to Indiana and
26:21
Speaker 2: Michigan and now he's this sudden star. But then he said,
26:24
Speaker 2: I win the Super Bowl, I go to the parade.
26:26
Speaker 2: Everyone's loving me, and then within a week, I'm going
26:29
Speaker 2: two surgeries. He turn around, he said it was Yeah,
26:33
Speaker 2: he brought them down to earth really quickly. But it
26:36
Speaker 2: looks like a. J. Barner will be on track to
26:38
Speaker 2: be on the field at the start of training camp.
26:42
Speaker 2: Running back situation post Kenneth Walker. So far, it's been
26:45
Speaker 2: George Hallani, the third year running back from Boise State,
26:48
Speaker 2: former undrafted rocky free agent, has been the number one back.
26:52
Speaker 2: Not Jadarian Price yet Rice, of course, the first round
26:56
Speaker 2: pick from Notre Dame, the thirty second overall pick in
26:58
Speaker 2: the draft. He's going to get there. It would be Astley.
27:02
Speaker 2: Something will have gone wrong between now and September ninth.
27:04
Speaker 2: If Jedarion Price is not the starting running back for
27:06
Speaker 2: the opener against the Patriots.
27:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would be very nervous for whatever it is
27:10
Speaker 4: that had happened to lead to that scenario, right, and.
27:14
Speaker 1: That's going to happen.
27:15
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, George Hallani and they are slow
27:19
Speaker 2: playing the rookies. Bud Clark, the second round pick, has
27:22
Speaker 2: been behind Tyocotta, although he is working with the ones
27:26
Speaker 2: and grouped with the ones, and you can see that
27:28
Speaker 2: he's kind of one a there will be a competition.
27:31
Speaker 2: It appears at safety between Tyo Kotta, maybe the Anthony
27:34
Speaker 2: Bell and the rookie Bud Clark at safety next to
27:37
Speaker 2: Julian Love. But Jedarion Price he's going to be the
27:42
Speaker 2: starting running back. They would not have drafted him where
27:44
Speaker 2: they did if he's not going to be. Zach Charboney
27:47
Speaker 2: still months away from getting on the field, most likely
27:50
Speaker 2: a candidate to start the season on the pup list,
27:52
Speaker 2: the physically unable to perform list. Maybe for Kenny McIntosh
27:56
Speaker 2: starting training camp on the pup list because he has
27:59
Speaker 2: not been on the field yet at either He of course,
28:01
Speaker 2: had the reconstructive knee surgery. The knee injury in July
28:05
Speaker 2: of last season. Sharponne didn't get hurt, of course, until
28:07
Speaker 2: the playoffs, remember in January, so his return could be
28:11
Speaker 2: September October at best. So in the meantime it's George
28:14
Speaker 2: Hallani Jedarim Price waiting in the wings. Thomas Hammock, the
28:18
Speaker 2: new running backs coach, working through Price on a lot
28:20
Speaker 2: of things, past blocking being among them.
28:24
Speaker 1: A lot still to get through of course.
28:27
Speaker 2: Three day mini camp veteran mini caamp, the mandatory mini
28:29
Speaker 2: camp Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then they're off till training
28:32
Speaker 2: camp begins July twenty fifth. Preseason games begin August fifteenth against.
28:38
Speaker 1: The Raiders or the Cowboys.
28:40
Speaker 2: The Cowboys, not that I pay much attention to preseason.
28:43
Speaker 3: I know, I was gonna say, I have no idea.
28:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's the Cowboys, who train in Oxnard
28:48
Speaker 2: and usually have their first preseason game on the West Coast.
28:52
Speaker 2: Up next, we got a lot more to talk about
28:55
Speaker 2: with the Seahawks, the Stanley Cup Finals, the NBA Finals,
28:59
Speaker 2: and then our series with John Boyle at nine o'clock,
29:02
Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigba featured today nine thirty. We'll read
29:05
Speaker 2: back your text at the takommodage text line four nine four,
29:09
Speaker 2: five to one. All that coming up, and then Ashley's
29:11
Speaker 2: Booze News at nine forty five.
29:12
Speaker 1: Because it is a Friday.

29:43
Speaker 2: Thanks for tuning into the Chuck and Bucks Show at
29:45
Speaker 2: Ashley Ryan Greg Bell filling in for Chuck Powell here
29:48
Speaker 2: on a Friday. Bucky's still away, though he is being
29:52
Speaker 2: The Mariners announced he is going to be in the
29:54
Speaker 2: home Run Derby Mariners Alumni version August seventh, before the
29:59
Speaker 2: Mariners host The Raised Manners are in Detroit this weekend
30:03
Speaker 2: to play the Tigers. We talked to Tiger's beat writer
30:06
Speaker 2: for The Athletic earlier in the show and he says,
30:09
Speaker 2: but five and a half back, even in the wild card,
30:12
Speaker 2: the Tigers aren't packing up and sayings Schoobl's gone. And
30:15
Speaker 2: he also said Trek Scoogel, who had surgery in his
30:18
Speaker 2: elbow that many thought was season ending. Remember he says,
30:22
Speaker 2: schools gonna be on the mounted than a week.
30:24
Speaker 3: I can't I could not believe that. I couldn't have that.
30:26
Speaker 4: He only had surgery a month ago. But he was like,
30:28
Speaker 4: oh well it wasn't as invasive, right is Still.
30:31
Speaker 2: They had a different type of surgery and it was
30:34
Speaker 2: like a spin on an Arthur's scopic surgery. But still,
30:36
Speaker 2: like you say, minor league rehabs started, he said this weekend.
30:40
Speaker 4: Perhaps, Yeah, I mean, I've had two back surgeries, which
30:43
Speaker 4: I know is a bit more obviously in a more
30:45
Speaker 4: serious place. But you think about the importance of your
30:47
Speaker 4: elbow to what you're doing or you're right, elbow surgery
30:51
Speaker 4: was it elbow, yeah, versus like your back.
30:54
Speaker 3: Just I mean I was out like six weeks, right,
30:57
Speaker 3: just not moving.
30:57
Speaker 4: You couldn't lift five pounds, and yet he's gonna throw we're, oh,
31:00
Speaker 4: one hundred miles an hour.
31:02
Speaker 2: So the point is, Cody Stavenhagen told us from the
31:06
Speaker 2: Athletic don't assume automatically the Tigers are going to trade him,
31:10
Speaker 2: because he may have a month's worth of starts to
31:13
Speaker 2: get the Tigers back in the race. They're ten and
31:15
Speaker 2: a half back in the America Central but only five
31:17
Speaker 2: and a half back from the Wildcard even at a
31:19
Speaker 2: thirteen games under five hundred. Entering the series opener tonight

32:41
Speaker 2: Jigbit nine thirty, we're going to do the to Come
32:44
Speaker 2: a Dot checks on four nine four to five one,
32:46
Speaker 2: where we have some questions already about what I've seen
32:48
Speaker 2: at the Seahawks OTAs, Greg, have you seen noticeable size
32:53
Speaker 2: increases or decreases at any of the players in camp?
32:56
Speaker 2: I have, But Channon Wilsu is bigger, and he is
33:01
Speaker 2: still playing outside linebacker. He's still in all the drills.
33:04
Speaker 2: He's noticeably there into his thirties. He's there in voluntary
33:08
Speaker 2: OTA practices. But he looks bigger. A. J. Barner looks bigger.
33:14
Speaker 1: To me, even though he's just been on a side
33:16
Speaker 1: field doing conditioning.
33:17
Speaker 3: The tight ends he's already a giant.
33:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a tall, stocky guy.
33:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, as most tight ends would, but he in particular
33:25
Speaker 2: is he looks bigger to me as well. Jadarian Price
33:30
Speaker 2: is bigger through the upper body than I remember thinking
33:34
Speaker 2: he was when they drafted him. The lead running back
33:36
Speaker 2: from Notre Dame just seems bigger. He's not known as
33:41
Speaker 2: so much as a big, bowling ball type back. Emmanuel Wilson,
33:44
Speaker 2: the new running back from Green Bay they signed in
33:47
Speaker 2: free agency, looks like a mini Eddie Lacy to me,
33:50
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And I shouldn't even mention that.
33:53
Speaker 3: Oh no, it is.
33:56
Speaker 1: It is National donut Day.
33:57
Speaker 2: But he's not quite as big as Eddie Lacy, who
34:01
Speaker 2: flamed out pretty quickly here in his time from Seattle
34:04
Speaker 2: after green Bay. But that's another Packer's running back. He's
34:06
Speaker 2: wearing number twenty seven. Emmanuel Wilson is, and he looks thick,
34:11
Speaker 2: stocky big. He's not a slashing running back. He is
34:15
Speaker 2: a bowling ball type of a runner, noticeably, and with
34:19
Speaker 2: the eye test anyway. Two h six ass What is
34:22
Speaker 2: a noticeable difference between Clint Kubiak and Brian Flurry, the
34:26
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator versus the old offensive cordnator now the
34:29
Speaker 2: Raiders head coach. Brian Flurry looks almost anonymous on the field.
34:35
Speaker 2: He looks like maybe one of the assistants who spot
34:39
Speaker 2: the ball. I mean, he just looks anonymous. He's you
34:42
Speaker 2: can only tell he's the offensive play caller. Because he's
34:46
Speaker 2: got the walkie talkie talking into it to the headset
34:48
Speaker 2: of the quarterback. Otherwise you really couldn't tell. He doesn't
34:52
Speaker 2: seem at first glance to be as involved in the
34:55
Speaker 2: quarterback drills as Klint Kubiak was. Kubiak used to go
34:57
Speaker 2: to the side fields and basically be the quarterback coach
35:01
Speaker 2: with Donald and Drew Locke and Jaln Milroe. Flurry is
35:07
Speaker 2: a little more around, at least so far. It seems.
35:10
Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes. And you already heard from
35:12
Speaker 2: Cooper cup and what he's seeing. Some of the differences
35:14
Speaker 2: is on the field. I've seen a little more two
35:16
Speaker 2: back so far. Could because they're just installing that early.
35:19
Speaker 2: I've seen a little more slip motion right before the snap,
35:21
Speaker 2: quick motions to get some leverage advantages for the receivers.
35:25
Speaker 2: That also could be because they're just installing that so far.
35:30
Speaker 2: Three six says I've heard the offenses light years ahead
35:32
Speaker 2: of where they were this time last year. Do you
35:35
Speaker 2: believe this is why some of the rookies aren't getting
35:37
Speaker 2: runs with the ones right now? I can't tell if
35:41
Speaker 2: they're light years ahead. I do know that there's a
35:43
Speaker 2: familiarity like I mentioned, that has made them faster, and
35:47
Speaker 2: then the times to tempo's too fast, and McDonald's barked
35:49
Speaker 2: at them that they're playing too fast and too hard
35:51
Speaker 2: for June and shorts and T shirts. Honestly can't read
35:55
Speaker 2: at all whether they are ahead schematically yet in these
35:59
Speaker 2: type of practice, says, I think they're slow playing Jedari
36:02
Speaker 2: and Price just so he can get the whole pro
36:05
Speaker 2: experience under his belt. How the Seahawks train, how the
36:08
Speaker 2: Seahawks meet, how they learn the playbook, get all of
36:12
Speaker 2: that down without him being the number one running back
36:16
Speaker 2: and all that right now, that's my read on it. Again,
36:19
Speaker 2: will be very surprised if September ninth, in the opener
36:22
Speaker 2: Wednesday night opener against New England, if he is not
36:25
Speaker 2: Jedari in Price, the first round pick, the starting running
36:28
Speaker 2: back and the two h sixccess. How is Jalen Milroe doing?
36:31
Speaker 2: Still making progress? Are they thinking about chrying again and
36:34
Speaker 2: have some packages for him? Yes, Mike McDonald has talked
36:39
Speaker 2: if we see an opportunity in a game plan for
36:41
Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe, we will put.
36:42
Speaker 1: Him in there, and if we don't, we won't.
36:45
Speaker 2: But that the overall progress Melroe is making a quantum
36:48
Speaker 2: leap from a rookie quarterback in the NFL to the
36:50
Speaker 2: second year as far as learning and knowing, but he
36:53
Speaker 2: doesn't have the game experience other than in the preseason
36:56
Speaker 2: that started in Green Bay at the end of the
36:57
Speaker 2: last preseason his most extensive time, so it's hard to
37:01
Speaker 2: really gauge game. But practice wise, he's way ahead in
37:05
Speaker 2: terms of just progressing and knowing what Seattle does and
37:09
Speaker 2: how they do it. We'll see if Jalen Miller has
37:12
Speaker 2: a package of run plays. He only got three plays
37:15
Speaker 2: in three different games and that was it done by
37:17
Speaker 2: the early October.
37:19
Speaker 1: Fumbled once lost the phone.
37:20
Speaker 2: That was it. We never saw him again. We'll see
37:22
Speaker 2: if he gets more, but he's still in the back pocket.
37:24
Speaker 2: Is possibility and he wants McDonald wants the league to
37:27
Speaker 2: know it's a possibility, so they have to kind of
37:29
Speaker 2: plan for it. That's how that works, playing a little
37:32
Speaker 2: seed in their head of the defensive coaches. Up next,
37:35
Speaker 2: our one series continues on the Chuck and Bucks Show,
37:37
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. It's featuring Seahawks players today it's Jackson Smith
37:41
Speaker 2: and jig By, the All Pro wide receiver newly minted
37:44
Speaker 2: with one hundred and sixty eight million dollar contract as
37:46
Speaker 2: the NFL Offensive Player of the Year John Boyle. The
37:48
Speaker 2: Seahawks dot Com, the team website, will join us next
37:51
Speaker 2: on ninety three point three KJRFM
