• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that's where all the US media knuckleheads are and you
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: come on. And I've been doing this for a long time.

  Speaker 2: I think this is It was like the twentieth draft
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I've covered and there's a lot of guys like old

• 3:01
  Speaker 7: I appreciate that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: What tell me about this like you, you just have
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this infectious personality. Where does that come from?
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: I get it from my mom. You know, she wake
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: up every morning we woke up. She was like, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: trying to put a smile on someone's face. You never
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: know how it could change him.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I love that and your father, so I assume you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: do the same.
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir, yes, sir all the time. My son, he's
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: the same way. Ball the energy.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to it. But first of all,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: this is the talk of the town today on our
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: radio station here on Sports Radio KJR, all across the town.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Did you watch Hard Knocks last night?
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: I actually did.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's get a review from a player.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: What'd you think?
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: Actually?
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: I feel like it captured a lot. It showed a
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: lot that was going on. I didn't like that it
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: was showing offense kicking out but the whole time. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: you know, you know, they get their day as we
• 3:48
  Speaker 8: get ours, you know, so I feel like it was
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: well rounded for sure.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I bet the coach didn't like that either, to being
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: a defensive head coach, right, he didn't at all. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: like that at all. Oh my gosh, I thought, here's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the thing. It's you know, for for song many people
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: of fans that have been coming out here for us
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that have kind of been behind the scenes here in
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the media. That was cool because we saw places we
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: never see the offices for Schneider and McDonald, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you hear the stuff in the in the huddles and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: all those things. I thought it portrayed Mike McDonald really
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: well in this sense. He's kind of a nerd, but
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I mean that in a good way. Would you agree,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: How do you think Mike was portrayed.
• 4:23
  Speaker 8: I actually love how they portray coach Mike because you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: he is weird, but he's very energetic, he's a very
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: great person. So like it showed everything about him. You know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: he was awkward, but he's like one of the most
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: of great people to be around.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: One of the today's athletes different than ten, fifteen, twenty
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: years ago. And I think we saw that here before
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: your time with Pete Carroll, and Pete did his things
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: his way, let guys do their own thing athletes, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: everything evolves over the years, and maybe it just wasn't working.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: They made the move they bring Mike in, and Mike
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: seems to have this ability to really relate to today's athlete.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: How would you describe who and what he is as
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a coach to you? Just as a relation, not just
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: as a player, but just overall relationship.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: I feel like, you know, I look at him more
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: of a really like a role.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: Model, because you know, he's like he's like you said,
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: you know, he says he's awkward, but I feel like
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: he takes that on like you know, it takes it
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: on like head on, and everything that he does, he
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: does it with passion. So it passes off right to us,
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: you know, because I'm a little weird.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: I love it. You know, people don't know yet, but
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: I'm very I'm.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Very How are you weird?
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Just different things I like to you know, you have
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: to see that I can't.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, So over the next few years, you know what
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it is, all right, I'm into it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I thought.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: What was with him though, too, is that when he
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the part where he had to talk to Brady Russell
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and there's a I mean, you're gonna have training camp fights.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Those are things gonna happen, and every coach channels it differently.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It's funny when Pete was here. Pete liked it at first,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and then after that there were no fights for like
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: three years. There's a couple of bad incidents. Mike doesn't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: seem to like it. It's a waste of time. But
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: how we handled Brady Russell like his way to discipline
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is that how it is behind the scenes. He's very kind.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: He's not a yeller. He's not a screamer. I don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: think right, very calm. How that's do players appreciate.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: That very much?
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: So because I feel like, you know, he talks to
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: you like you're a grown man at the end of
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: the day. But also you know, he has to understand
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: that there's discipline behind what's going on. So I feel like,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: you know, he handles it pretty well for sure.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Bud Clark is with a Seahawks second round draft pick.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He's a safety. We'll talk about how he's doing a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: practice because he's been elevated. He's up with the ones
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: right now. We expect that with a second round pick.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You stayed at TCU your entire time, and there's a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff that happened there, including the birth of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a child, yeah, which is awesome. One of the things
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we talked about you about with you on draft day
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: is just that that you stayed there the whole time.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Jadarian Price did the exact same thing at Notre Dame.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: He wasn't even starting. You were a starter, captain everything else,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: but that was something they really liked. Walk me through TCU.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Why did you stay there? Because I'm sure you had
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: opportunities to go other places in bigger schools, and whether
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: big time SEC schools, big ten or whatever it is,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: why'd you stay there?
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: I feel like with TCU even when I first started,
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: because I started under Gary Pattison. You know, he made
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: it feel like a home for me, you know, just
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: like here. But you know, the defense was amazing. He
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: was a great defensive head coach. So you know, when
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: I first started it off, I knew that's where I
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: wanted to be. Wasn't too far from home, wasn't too close.
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: So then, you know, when Gary ended up leaving, I
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: got to I got to feel for coach Coach Dykes.
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: You know, I was like, man, because I had a
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: lot going on at the time. I was like, man,
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: I don't know if I have the transfer, you know, this,
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: this and that. But then I actually talked to coach Dykes.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: He told me that he wanted me there, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: to be a leader for his team. So I made
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: sure I stayed there because I knew that I wanted
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: to be somewhere that I started here, so I wanted
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: to finish.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Her for sure.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Bud Clark with me. Bud, you married with a child
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in college? Yes, sir, How when that happened? What goes
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: through your mind? Like, Wow, can I still play football?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: How am I going to support like all those things?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: That's a lot. I mean for me as an old adult,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it was hard having young kids. How challenging was that?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: What were the biggest challenges you faced with a young
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: child in college?
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: You know, so I was twenty years old when we
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: first had him. You know, it was a lot being
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: away from my family because you know, I put a
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: lot on my on my fiance at the time, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: so it was a lot for her, and I felt
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: like it weighed on me. And then it got to
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: a point where, you know, I felt like I had
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: to I had to play football because this was the
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: way to get take care of my family.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: So, uh, we and my fiance we end up having
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: a talk. We talked about anything. You know, let her
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: know this, sometimes it's gonna be very time consuming that
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: you know with football. So she understood that and she
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: took on a role being a great mother. And you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: I'm being a great football player and being a great
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: father also.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Do you think it motivated you as far as a
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: football player saying I'm gonna I'm gonna reach a height
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that I need to for my family. I'm gonna achieve something.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I'm gonnnna get the NFL dream is there for every
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: college football player. For you was a little bit different,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit more motivating because of having a.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: Child, very much so, because I feel like I'm trying
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: to pay the way, you know, just whether that be
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: you know, for him to play football, whether that be
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: for sports. Maybe he can be a restaurant, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: someone that owns a restaurant or something. I want you
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: to be the best at what you can, whatever you do.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. Are they with you right now?
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: They are they coming up here today?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They are how Jackedory like it's been a while problem
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: right it has. I'm so happy they out here. Oh
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: my goodness, Bud Clark is with us. It's a great story.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Let's talk football. Drafted you in the second round to
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl champions through your mind when you got
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: picked by these guys, and what was the first thing
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: you thought of when you hear about Seattle?
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: I looked up.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: You know, I've been looking up to Richard Sherman as
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: a child. So being able to come here was an
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: absolute blessing, you know, Like Saints was my favorite team
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: growing up because I'm from Louisiana. But uh, just just
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: everything that they had, the style here, the players, the leadership,
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: the everything. Honestly, you know, it was a blessing to
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: see that they call my phone.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Have you talked to Sherman, any of you guys that
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: played in that last Super Bowl team?
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: I did talk to missus Sherman.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: What did he tell you?
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: You know, he was just giving me tips on being
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: a football player, being a baller, being a father also,
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: so you know, I was listening to him and I
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: rolled with it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Nobody talked better than him.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Oh no, no, no way.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna be right there? Oh yeah, who talks more?
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: You were Witherspoon right now?
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: Right now, I say Spoon, But I'm right on his
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: trails though.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: It's got to be part of the game of a DV,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. Yeah, like you gotta have a little chatter
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: going on. You're going against some elite guys on that offense,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and we saw that in Hard Knock last Like, like you said,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: those guys got that one. And it's funny because there's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: like three or four practices they showed makes it look
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: like one. Yeah, you can see sometimes the fans are here.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they weren't all that. But you're going against the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: offensive player of the year in the NFL in JSN
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Cooper Cup, Tory Horton go through the list of these guys.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: What's been the biggest challenge in Who've you learned the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: most of going against?
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: So, uh, you know, I got to go against mister
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: a couple a couple of times, you know, so uh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: just being against him, he showed me, you know, you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: the difference in being against a veteran a receiver and
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: a rookie receiver. So it was a lot of things
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: that I got to learn from. He was showing me
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: how he attacked me in different ways that he saw
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: from a db'sive perspective, even though he's a receiver. So
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: I got to learn a lot from him for sure.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Just we saw in the video out on the in
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the show last night, what we've all known about him.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: He's like a coach on the field, but also a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: coach off the field. He's sitting in the quarterback room,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: he's sitting in McDonald's office. He gives what do you
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: think of that little piece for? He says to Mike McDonald,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: get whatever he's doing. He says something and it clicks
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: with McDonald, the head coach. He's like, man, how did
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I not see that? How did I not see that?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But that's is that cup?
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: I feel like it speaks for our team too, though,
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: you know, because like some coaches would wouldn't be able
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: to take that whill, but Mike actually took it and
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: listened to what he had going on.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: So I feel like it was perfect.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: He's that but that that How invaluable is it to
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: have a guy like that on the field.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Absolutely amazing. He's like a field general.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome. All right, now you're you're all over the place.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: You come in here.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Julian Love Tyle Katta had that thing locked down last year.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: NICKI min Warre as well. Nick's hurt. You're battling with tie,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: You're you're replacing love at times. Where where do you
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: fit in this defense? Do you think and you're gonna
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: tell me wherever they tell me. I know that you're
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: You're better than that. You're better than that. Don't give
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: me that answer. You're better than that. Where do you fit?
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: Honestly? You know, I like I have. I'm trying to
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: fit wherever my team fit, you know, needed me to
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: be great. You know, like wherever they want me to
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: need me to be great, I'll try to be there
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: for sure.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Where do you feel most comfortable? Is it that the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: line of scrimmage is deep? Is it free?
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Strong?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Where do you feel most comfortable because you've got great hands,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you had a lot of picks.
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, right now, I would say, like feel safety and
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: really down in a box?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: So really is in fifty fifty? I can play both.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: What have you learned? Before I let you go, Bud,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: but clark with me? What have you learned about the NFL? Like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: what has been the biggest thing that's maybe surprised you?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Is it speed? Is it strength? Is it just?
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Is it the verbiage? What's the biggest challenge from And
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I'll just use this as a comparison. Freshman year TCU
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: come out of high school in Louisiana and you go
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: to TCU big time program. Being a freshman. Probably it's like, well, man,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I'm seventeen, eighteen years old.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Here I am.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: What about that compared to now being a twenty something,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: your twenty four year old kid coming in to an NFL.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: How different isn't we're the biggest changes?
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: I would say pretty much.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: You know, everyone's here for a reason, you know, like
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: I feel like in college, you know, sometimes you run
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: into a couple of guys that that not not so,
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: wouldn't fit in that agenda, you know, so, but I
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: feel like I hear you, nigga, every everybody's here for
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: a reason.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: He's on the same page. Yeah, you're here for the
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: same reason. No one's here just to get scholarship money
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: or because mom and dad wanted to be.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're here for a reason, whether you can think, play,

• 14:58
  Speaker 2: All right, there you go. I've been doing this for
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a long time. And I mean this guy, this young
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: man in a wheelchair, he just came over and I
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: just he gets it when he spoke on the little
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: conference call. And and I think I'll try to if
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I can set this up. When you're watching Hard Knocks,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: if you see a meeting with all defensive players. Yeah,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: it's a big, huge room.
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And that's that's where we're at.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: For the not the full team room where Mike stuff.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: That's that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: That's the auditorium, right, that's fact. Yeah, we'll actually we'll
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: talk about some of the places you saw in the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: second but the meeting room up there he in the
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: front of the meeting room, there's like a table, well
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: there's tables all the way back, like rows of tables
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: where all the media sits. Right when we're KJR, we're
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: in the very back. Uh set up. So you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Softy is really loud. They try to keep him away
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: from everybody, but uh and and find out to disturb.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: But when the players get drafted, about ten minutes after
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: every player gets drafted, they call in on on a
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: phone and they put a speakerphone up there and we've
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: carried that. You guys have heard this one. We carry
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a draft coverage and you hear the ring ring ring.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: All right, hey, Bud, you're on with uh Seattle Media.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, and he's on, you know, a speakerphone.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: And then like the entire media horde is like kind
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: of circled around it like.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Circled around and Greg Bell always asked, hey, where were
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: you when you found out you got drafted?
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Same question every time.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: It's a good question.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It's a good question, yes, and it's he's kind of
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: our Helen Thomas from the old White House days. It's like, yeah,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the first you get the first question, where where you
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: found I got drafted? Who called you?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Anyway?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: That's what it goes. This guy started talking. And again,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: in the twenty years i've been at kJ R and
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: covering this thing, I've never and we all said the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: same thing, never had a guy come on and captivate
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: us like that. Yeah, just the personality you just heard
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: a second ago. It was infectious. And I think when
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: you watch Hard Knocks you're gonna see that there is
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: definitely a quote unquote type of of there's something that
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: these guys want to drive one. And you know, they
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: don't all have to be as locacious and just as
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: as as outspoken or outgoing or gregarious as Bud Clark,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: but there is something about that type of personality. And
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I'm just thinking, man, and you know, we think about
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: what you just had a child I did.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really appreciate that story with him and his
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: wife and like kind of trying to deal with that
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: through college because I couldn't imagine that.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And I'll just even bring it here like I think
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: anybody who's a young parent night now or even as
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: an older parent can relate to what he said. Yes,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: we all have challenges when you have children, Like it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: just a challenge you. And you know, I mean Andrews.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not speaking a turn. I mean Andrew's wife is working,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: he's working. You guys are trying to juggle back and
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: forth there who's going to be there? I'm texting where
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: are you? I need you to come in, We're taking
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: an interview blah blah blah. And and you know, hopefully
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I understand that because I've been through it. And you know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: like you're juggling being a Division one football playersion. You're
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: juggling being, you know, a new young professional in a
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: in a job that's very relatable what he said, And
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I love the conversations, a mature conversation you have with
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: your fiance. Yeah, I've got to do this because it
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: might provide for us later. And you know what, as
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: a second round draft pick, he's pretty much set for life. Yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Like he's in really good shit. Yeah, I mean in comparison.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: So it's all for comparison to most people, right, But
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to get there to that point, to get there, to
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: be a student athlete, to get through.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: There all four years in one school by the way.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean actually it ended up being six.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: He went there in twenty twenty and yeah that he
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: missed most of the twenty twenty one season, get a degree,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: do all those things. It's a pretty remarkable story and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: it's relatable to a lot of people. I'm excited to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: watch him play. I think he's too light. We'll probably
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: grab corbyin a little bit later on. I think he's
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: a little too light to play in the box in
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: the NFL and go against say, you know, I play
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: that Nick even warrior role.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: It's not a one for one even Warrior Place.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: No.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I think that's why. You know, like right now they
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: got the Anthony, but now they've moved him around. They're
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: giving but they're giving Bud Clark a lot of opportunities.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: He's playing in a lot of different spots. Uh, you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: when Love gets a maintenance day, he'll play for him Ocata.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I think he's battling Okada for a st starting spot.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Interesting, okay, but I.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I know McDonald loves Okada. And as many times they
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: use so many multiple dB looks all the time, those
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: guys will both be on the field this year, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and they know what they've got with Tye. The upiside
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: with Bud Clark's just higher. And I love listen. There's
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: no bigger fan of ti Ocotta than this show. Absolutely done.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: By the way, did you notice I'll get to him
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: in a second. Let's do this, Let's take a break,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: let's come back, avoiding the Mariners for now.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we are honest. There was two things to watch
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: last night. One of them was fantastic and me like,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna use a softie's joke here. One of them
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: was fantastic, made me want to run through a wall.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: The other one is not fantastic and it made me
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: want to put my head through all he.
• 19:52

  Speaker 2: All right, we are back Virginia Mason Athletics Center. Man,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you earlier, I didn't think it was too bad,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: smoky and hazy. I thought that too soon. Yeah, it
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: ain't great today, man.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Oh okay. So it's funny because I'm in the city,
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: so it's a little bit different. I thought it was
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: really bad yesterday and it's gotten a little bit clearer today.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little hazy. I walked in I was
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: talking the security guard at the front gate there and
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I was walking in, yeah, and I'm like, man, doesn't
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: seems bad. It's it's it's changed, it's changed in the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: last hour. I'll just say, okay, okay, slightly unhealthy, but listen,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I a slight headache or whatever here for all of us,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: that's pales in comparison to what's going on. So seriously,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: we can we can suck it up and be just fine.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: We're watching football practice and doing a radio show, so
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: let me uh big thanks about Clark for coming on
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: four nine four five one on the Toba Dodge text on.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of text coming in people
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: fans of his.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a Hall.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Of Fame talker and personality. If you can play it all,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: that's it's gonna be the perfect combo.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, he will be a fan favorite if he has
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: any start of production.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Uh, Andrew hard Knocks last night, dude, Yeah, foughts thoughts.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: First of all, I'm not a Hard Knocks guy. This
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: is probably one of the first episodes of Hard Knocks
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: I've watched at least ten years. Because yes, it's not
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: normally my thing. Obviously, I'm going to have more interest
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: because it's my team. But I also think like a
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: lot of people like to watch chaos and like to
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: watch dysfunctional organization. Right, I would have been a little
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: little bit more interested in having the defending Super Bowl champions,
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: whether or not it was the Seahawks, see because I
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: like to see like, really good operations. I want to
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: have a feel good story. I want to see good coaching.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I want to see good player relationships and how that
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: all works out. And we definitely saw that last night.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: I mean last year for me with the Seahawks. This
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: is my general thought with it because last year with
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: the Seahawks, I feel like, and maybe I'm not alone
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: in this, it took a while for me to really
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: be fully on board with the Seahawks in terms of
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: like I'm all in on this team, like let's go
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: win a super Bowl sort of thing. It was like, Okay,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: we have a pretty good team here, let's go. We're
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: kind of surpassing expectations if we do something great. Now,
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: I feel like, especially after watching you know everything behind
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: the scenes and we got to know a little more personalities.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I'm all in on this team. I'm ready to just
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: get every watch every single game super closely see what
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: every player does, and you know, like Softy put it
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: on social media last night, I'm ready to run through
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: a wall for this team. I'm I'm so excited to
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: be a Seahawks fan. It's not like I wasn't last year,
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: but it's a different feeling when you know that, Okay,
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: we have a really good team. We have a fun
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: group of guys, and it's really easy to root for.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Buying into a coach is big, but Clark, you know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I think, let me just take a step back. I
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: liked I liked the open with the Super Bowl rings.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: We got to see the ceremony and you know, I
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: mean the reaction of guys and you know, the rings
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: coming down from the ceiling and opening up and how
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: cool they were, and then boom you transition into you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Derek Call driving in the fighting with the Derek Hall truck.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: We saw that truck here during the drafts because we
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: walked during the draft. It's the one time we walk
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: in through the players entrance right to cover the draft
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: here and I remember seeing it. One day.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I'm like, who's truck? Who is that? Yeah?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm like, whose truck is that, and I
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: thought initially because I always, you know, go back to
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: what he always says, you know, the guy's the biggest wheels,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the biggest rims, the biggest cars and stuff like that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Always like either DB's or wide receivers, right, And I'm thinking, well,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's Cooper Cup. I'm not there. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: don't think he's driving out to Yacka, Vegas and I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: don't And js N is like the most understated guy.
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: In the world.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: And you saw that last night, by the way.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And you saw that last night and those and ain't
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: no way Rashid Shi he driving that thing. So then
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, Witherspoon, probably he's waiting on the contract,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: so probably that would be the guy. Yes, I did think.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, maybe's Witherspoon. And I looked over my
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: son and goes one hundred percent of the defensive linement.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: He goes, that's a D Lineman. I'm like, And then
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, D Lineman. I don't think like.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: That would D Williams.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: That's not new so that's not that's not that's not Laurence. I'thing.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And then Derek Hall gets out and I'm like, yep, yes, sir, Yes, sir,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the guy, the guy that, the guy that Jared Reid
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: almost kicked the crap out of him on the sideline
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: and you know and all that. It's Yep, it's Derek Hall.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: It's Derek Hall. That was classic.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I love the from a production standpoint, incredible job of
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: foreshadowing when they put this thing together, when they edit it,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: when the producers put it together, Brady Russell comes in, yes,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: very likable, gets gets peed on by the goat or
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: where the hell it was out there, and then has
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the Jesus Saves t shirt on, you know, like you're like, oh,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: this guy's like super nice and all that, and then
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: fast forward to towards the end of the show where
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: he's like coming in and grabbing Haul from behind and
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: apparently been talking smack to him and saying you change, bro,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and all these things. It's great job of I mean,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: how they connected those two is great. The visuals of
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: the Virginia Mason Athletics Center, the shores of Lake Washington,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Seattle as a whole, and even I mean obviously they
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: had the added thing of of the Blue Angels, yes,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: but take that out even just don't even use the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Blue Angels for a second, but I thought that was
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: really cool. They used it, so but take that aside.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: That are any smoke aside in the summer is spectacular.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: It just is nothing better.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: God and God we've got issues. Best we do. I'm
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: not talking about just the visuals of the city. You
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: only have one chance to make a first impression. I
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: kept thinking, this is the this is the hockey guy
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: in me. I'm like, man, how could you not want
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: to be here? Why would you rather be in Los Angeles?
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Just disgusting? Why would you rather be Okay, Tampa, Miami?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah in January February it's still seventy five degrees. I
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: guess I get that. But Florida is a dump, man,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: it is just a dump. It's a homo single wides
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: and white trash. Like I don't need that, Like what
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: are we doing like this? Like if I'm the Crack
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm taking those visuals and putting a video together, Yeah, yeah,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: it's the Seahawks. But here, I'll fly a drone over
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: the inside the damn you know, cracking community, or just
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: fly over over CPA. It's the same visuals. You go,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: you fly, you can have the drone shot from the
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: waterfront right to CPA.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like our city looks spectacular. Fans looked awesome. Fans
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: on the burm. Just last year, there would have been gaps. Man,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Last year there were gaps in the grass.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: You can see, you can see, you can't see a
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: blade of grass once practice starts. This year, you cannot
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: see a blade of grass on the burm. The city
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: looks spectacular, the facility looked for spectacular. All of that
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: was awesome. I love the behind the scenes, you know,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I think fans getting a chance to see them when
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: you walk in. Remember the big controversy when McDonald was hired. Yes,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: oh he's taking down some of the old stuff. Yes, God, Okay.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: First of all, if you were that person that was
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: upset about that or chirping about that, maybe you ohe
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the coaching apology. He won a Super Bowl for you too.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: When you see them walk in, I'm sure they have
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the same visual. They have the name of every single
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: player that has ever played a single snap here in
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Seattle on that wall, Like if you know the wall,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: if you're looking down towards where they're walking towards you. Yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: with the staircase. Yes, yeah, and there's a staircase. But
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: look to the right. You'll see the name of every
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: player for every team in fifty years is played here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: It's really, it's really kind of cool thing that's still there.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Pictures of like Holme, Grin and and others are still up. Okay,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: they're still up. He took down some of Pete's phrases,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: but there's still enough of a past, a tribute to
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the past. It's in the in places that we don't
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: see unless it's like draft weekend when we're back there.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: That stuff's still there. So I'm black fans got to
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: see some of that kind of how cool it is
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes that I'm telling you right now. Remember
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: when when when Mike got hired, McDonald got hired and
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Pete left. I remember Holmgren talking about the offices upstairs, Yeah,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: and how like you know, like he and and like
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: how he always liked the big office. But the coach's
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: office is pretty damn good size too. Pete was in
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Schneider's office now, and then Schneider was in what makes
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: McDonald's office now. Schneyder's office is pretty I hope they
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: show more of that that thing is awesome. Yeah, it's
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: like it's it's like a house.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks out over the whole field, right.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all the respect. It might be bigger than your condo,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: like I is. I mean, and it's like incredible right
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: And McDonald's office as cool as hell too. So like
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: seeing that stuff for me was cool. We'll take a break,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: will come back. The news though that came out yesterday
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: along Devin Witherspoon lines. That's worthy of talking about. Not
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: often that a show that is like Hard Knocks is
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: actually breaking news, but they kind of did that yesterday
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: in terms of where the contract negotiation is with Devin Witherspoon.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next nine three point three kter FM.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian Furness at the Virginia Mason Athletics
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Center and our special coverage of Seahawks training camp, brought
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to you by the Boeing Classics Sports Radio Tree kJ
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: r FM.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I we're back one of things in the Hard Knocks
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: last night. We'll get more new later. Your thoughts on
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I'd love to hear fans reaction to it. Four nine,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: four to five one. Actually, this is a good talkback thing.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I know, we have a lot of fun in the
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: talkbacks all the time on the iHeartRadio app the Red'll
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Red microphone speak into it. Love to hear your thoughts
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: on what you thought from hard Knocks, What do you
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: want to see next? What do you want to see
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: more of? We'll also get what.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Was your fat thing our biggest takeaway? Something that you
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: noticed that was small? Yeah, yeah, I think the takeaway
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: is the best thing, Like what what was like?
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: What'd you come on?
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: Going?
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Along the lines fourine, four to five one. Let's do this. Though,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: there was a little bit of news. We were all
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: under the impression, the assumption that Devin Witherspoon is really
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: close to getting his contract extension done. Remember they got
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: JSN done in the offseason. They were both first round
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: picks the same year, both going into their fourth years
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: in the league. This is when you get those deals
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: done with first round picks you want to keep around.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: JSN got his deal done. We thought Witherspoon was close.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Christian Gonzales in uh in New England, same agent and
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: same position. He's and Witherspoon are both right now participating
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: in camp, which leads you to believe all that must
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: be right there. Here was the interaction and the part
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: of Devin Witherspoon. You'll hear the voice of John Schneider
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and then the voice of Devin Witherspoon.
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: Devin Witherspoon hasn't signed a new deal yet.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, grave baby, we're going on by man.
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: I got but the cornerback who's been to three straight
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: Pro Bowls. It was hopeful GM John Schneider long for
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: him a deal he can sign very soon.
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: We're just talking about Spoon.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Spoon got wigged out.
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: Not last night, the previous night because I r report
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: that we're gonna hear.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Making him a high speed guy and he's not accepting it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: That I he was like, hey, but you need to
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: call it agent and tell them that'suff comes from loss.
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: You know, Moe talk to Spoon as fine. He's like,
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: yes it. He's in a good spy.
• 31:59
  Speaker 11: Now, we've had negotiations over the last seventeen years or
• 32:03
  Speaker 11: you know, haven't been real fun. But every individual's different.
• 32:07
  Speaker 11: It's the person, right, So Spoon was just like this great,
• 32:11
  Speaker 11: like high energy, you know, vibrant guy. We're all the
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: same goal in mind and we'd love to get that
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: done because Spoon's great.
• 32:20
  Speaker 12: Boyer outside of quarterback for real. We got the hardest
• 32:23
  Speaker 12: position on the field.
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: Man.
• 32:24
  Speaker 12: It's just it's hard to guard these guys, especially when
• 32:27
  Speaker 12: you can't touch the past five yards. I mean, like
• 32:29
  Speaker 12: these guys are they real talented man? I mean, it's
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: just a hard job to play. So when you got
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: a guy who could really do like shut down a
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: receiver or just like could be versatile like I am, like,
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: you don't come across.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: Those guys often, for real.
• 32:43
  Speaker 12: So when we got a premier corner like this, it's
• 32:46
  Speaker 12: just you pay him, like, please pay him. That's all always,
• 32:50
  Speaker 12: That's all we're seeing. So but it's not really something
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: that's on my mind right now. My mind is to
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: go win football games.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Bro.
• 32:57
  Speaker 12: We're trying to be the best team that we could
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: be for this year. Stuff like that just get in
• 33:01
  Speaker 12: a way of doing that. Like when you just put
• 33:03
  Speaker 12: it to the sign and leg guy handled that situation
• 33:05
  Speaker 12: is easy to just focus on the task at hand,
• 33:07
  Speaker 12: which is getting better every day. China count battling these
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: guys every day, competing every day. He just focused on
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: playing football.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: So Moe Kelly, by the way, is who John Scheider
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: referenced Mo talked to Moe's basically he's been here. I
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: think he might be the in terms of the football
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: side of things, he might be the second longest tenured
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: guy here. Uh, maybe the third. Eric Kennedy is the
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: equipment manager. E K is his name. You heard Schneider
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: talk about him or not. Schneider McDonald talked about him.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: Yes, last week he said that was the one nightmare
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: that k retired retired.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: True, Yeah, e k Is he's He's He's the best
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: man Eric Kennedy. In fact, Holgrian always talks about when
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: he comes here, he just goes right to Ek's office
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: and just hangs out in the equipment manager's office. And
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: e K's got this incredible staff, does a great job.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Good dude, salt of the earth guy. I love him
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: because he used to help me make sure we were
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: set up for Fox thirteen where we needed to be
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: in the hallway because they're trying to pack up and
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: do things. He's just a treat h He's right there,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: like and and Moe Kelly's been here for a long
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: time as well. And Moe is the liaison between the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: players and the front office if need be, and is
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: probably the most trusted guy by the players in the
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: entire organization, and so he talked to Spoon, got him
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: off the ledge. But yeah, what you came out of
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: that thinking is that they're not that close right like
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: they're they're they're not as close as they should be
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: or we thought they were as far as the contract's concerned.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Guys do keep paying attention to things, right, they pay
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: They pay attention to stuff. So pay attention to to
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: to to who who's uh, who's you know, two contracts
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: and and what's being reported. It's interesting. Rap's gonna be
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: here Friday, and I just talked to him today. He's
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: gonna pop on the show. I don't know when, but
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: he'll be here on Friday, and we'll have Ian Rappaport
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: on the show. We'll have to try to get a
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: little bit more details from him. He's not gonna get
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: about who his source was, but where that story came
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: from and how it all went down, get his side
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of it. After listening to Schneider, so'll save that audio.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: But I thought that was an interesting dynamic. Sam Ramsden's
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: the other guy. You might have saw Sam at the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: dry race board with all the names blanked out with
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: the depth chart, and he was talking about he was
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: talking about Kenny McIntosh by the way, like you still
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: got to pass the stag. Yeah, because you can see
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: the running backs, and there was two guys off to
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: the side, one with Sharbona and one was McIntosh and
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the McIntosh and then Sam Ramsden's in their director of
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: player performance. Since Mike Clogrin was here as well, he e,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: K and Mo have all been here forever while the
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: most of the PR staff, which tells you also something
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: about the organization. People don't leave here. They don't leave.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's I think it's a really good sign.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: And you know, ownership change. We'll see what ends up happening.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: But one thing that's going to come across, I think
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: through hard knocks for people is almost at the risk
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: of their boring, but they kind of are. There's just
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: not a lot of drama inside outside outside of a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: contract dispute here or there, and that always ends up
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: getting resolved anyway. And the fact that Witherspoon's practicing what
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a tribute to him. Yeah, he could certainly be pulling
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: an earl. Thomas or camp Chance will not be practicing.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, and one would probably advise him if
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: you're on his side to be doing that.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: It's fair.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: With an option for the next year, but really effectively
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: he's going into his last year. So yes, for sure,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt that he could be easily holding out
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: here and no one would blink an eye. Okay, right,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: and so but yeah, these guys are kind of boring
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: in a sense, like things are buttoned down, everything works well.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: They they don't have a lot of stuff going on.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: But that was something that was a thing. Yeah, no
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: doubt was a thing.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: A lot of the sentiment from non Seahawks fans about
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Hard Knocks last night. I was kind of scouring through
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: Twitter to kind of see what people were talking about it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: A lot of people didn't like it because I was boring,
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: And it'll pick up, Yeah, I think it'll pick up. Listen,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: they don't have Dan Campbell, you know, yelling and screaming
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff. They don't have. Like the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Detroit one was crazy because no one knew who Dan
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Campbell was. I hadn't gotten the playoffs yet. You know,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: he's just kind of a meathead, but in a lovable way.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: He had He had two coordinators, an offensive and defensive
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: coordinator because I remember that was pre Ben Johnson that
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: were yelling and screaming at each other the whole time,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: right and and like causing fights between the two sides
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: offense and defense. And yeah, I guess it made for
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: better TV. You know, we had the fight last night,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: A couple of fights, a couple of scraps which we
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: talked about on the airs. They were happening in those days.

  Speaker 2: making their way on the field. Hard Knocks crews everywhere
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: walking around doing their thing, hanging out today. Six crews
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: all following the player around or coach. I think McDonald's
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: miked up every day, and so is Darnold, and I
• 40:31

• 40:38
  Speaker 2: five lunch going doutch text line, Let's get to it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: We haven't done it yet. We're an hour into the show.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Tigers eight Mariners, nothing day off. Monday trade deadline comes
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: and goes. Some additions for the team. They didn't go well.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Lancelot, whatever his name is, was he just brutal?
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: He loved that joke, lance a lot, I was it Dominga?
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: Is that his name, Sir Anthony?
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Yet?
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: I guess I need to know it because he's gonna
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: be here.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: For a while, at least next year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: He's under He's under contract for ten mil next year.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Too yep hm, lovely, lovely, lovely. I was just reading
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: a couple of Softy tweets from last night gold I'm
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: gonna try to have I'm gonna I'm gonna try to
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: just take.
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: A step back for a second. It's one game, guys.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: The problem is that one game comes a day after
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline. People were either excited about the deadline
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: or mad about the deadline, but they wanted to see
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: how they react. The oddest thing about yesterday, Andrews, is
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: this on a day in which the opposing team that
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: you're playing starts a good pitcher, but not a two
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: time say Young Award winner who was scheduled to pitch yesterday,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: did pitch actually for the Dodgers his new team.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: You get a break.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: They have to be looking around that dugout in Detroit
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: or Seattle. But the Detroit dugout saying, well, I guess
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: we're done. We sold blah blah blah.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: Right like there's just no and they now have a
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: better record than you, by the way they do now.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I kept thinking about the old movie God I'd turn
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: into Softy. I'm gonna make a movie reference. But it
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: was very major league like, like did they look around
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, you know what, despite ownership, we're gonna
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: go out and win. Yeah, like blank down, We're gonna
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: win because and they ate nothing. Scores a little deceiving.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: It's a little deceiving because Domingos was so bad in
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: his debut four runs on four hits, two walks, as
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Andrews pointed out earlier, gave up more runs, more hits,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: more home runs, and had more walks than he had outs.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: He pitched one third of an inning, got one out.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Tough one tonight, guys, tough ones to.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: Four zero.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: That's the problem. Let's go back in time a little bit.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: What have we been saying all along? We can we
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: can throw stones at and point. Blame it ownership or
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Jerry or Justin or the Jerry. Justin doesn't you had
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: the tying run of the plate runners at scoring because
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: they are a run runner in scoring position with two
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: consecutive at bats with one out down by what three
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: at that point, and Josh Naylor and Cal Rawly bull
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: strikeout guys. You can't blame Dan Wilson for that. No,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: you can't blame Jerry to Potal for that. You can't
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: blame Justin Hollander for that. You can't blame John Stanton
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: for that. You can't blame Jimmythy for that. You can't
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: blame the Card the Golden Card for Jimmyth for that.
• 43:54
  Speaker 8: That.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: You can't that's on them. To me, it's it's just
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: it's it gets It's really simple. These players have been
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: awful this year by what they're getting paid for, what
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: the expectations were. Cal whatever has happened to you. If
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: it's health related, then you know what, watching Hard Knocks
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: last night, that's a good example. Don't hurt the team
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: because you're trying to be tough guy.
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: Get healthy.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Like even warr should have been a lot more upfront
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: probably with his injury after the Super Bowl instead of
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: fighting through it and you know, not saying anything. Trainers
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: can't read your mind, you know, like David Strickle's the
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: head trainer out here, Sam Ramsen's the head and performance.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: They can't read your mind. Nick, your ankle hurts, get
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: it fixed. Don't wait till training camp. I know you're
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: a tough guy and everyone appreciates the sacrifice you're making.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Playing through pain doesn't help the team. Tory Horton talked
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: about it with us. So we had Tory Horton on Monday,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: right this week, Yes, and Tory Horton said, Hey, I
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: finally couldn't do it anymore. I had to say something.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: They've checked it out and found out out a broken leg.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: If Col's hurt, say something and get fixed if you're
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: If he's not hurt, that's a bigger concern. That's a
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: much bigger concern. Anders if he's not hurt. Yeah, I
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: guess right, yeah, because that drop off is Brady Anderson
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: like and I'm not saying he's talking abou juice last year,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: but it's like, wow, how do you go from one
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: to the other?
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I just and you mentioned it's not Dan Wilson's fault.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: It's not his fault. But when your core players, who
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: we gave Dan Wilson all this credit in the world
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: for cal Rawley having the best season of his career
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: last year did so, so he has to take some
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: blame for having the three of your four players having
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: bad years to this point. And it's not even just
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: that you know what he's doing right now is causing
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: them to do that. That's not the case. It's your
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: job as a player to go out and do that.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: But we've seen this before where managerial changes have fixed
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: baseball teams. Maybe not even from the fault of a manager,
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: but the fact that it sends a message to the
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: group that hey, what you're doing isn't good enough. Something
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: needs to change at this point.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Something and something's got to change. And by the way,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: is there a more worthless streak right now in baseball
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: than Josh Naylor's twenty five game on bass streak?
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: No, And he stays alive because they get he gets
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: a worthless walk in the ninth, didn't down eight nothing.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: The Richie sextic, It was a what did I tell
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: you guys last night?
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: I was waiting for it.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: I was waiting for a Richie sexon moment for him
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: or col yep, like those get like Naylor. I don't
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: care how often damn you can hit three fifty, but
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: if they're all singles, doesn't matter. You're playing a you're
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: playing a power position at first base, and you've got
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: no power. You got no zip, had no juice. Bucky's
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: gonna have more juice in the home run Dirty Friday
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: than you've got.
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: Naylor honestly would not be surprised. He'll probably have more
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: on Friday than Naylor has all year.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I can't wait see Hyphen swing the bat. Oh god,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: you know Captain Bicep there.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, I like like he's a home run more
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: recently at T Mumble Park than Josh Naylor does.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: He will one hundred percent, he will.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: He will.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: He will, Stefan Romero will, God Bucky will, each Yro will,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: all those guys will. Like my my one final thought
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: is this, and this is a massive Monday morning quarterbacking
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: and guy that knows nothing about pitching and pitching coaches.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: We didn't need old Sir Anthony there. You know, we
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: didn't need Sir Sir Lancelot there to come out and
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: get just whacked in a meaningless, a meaningless ninth inning.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I heard the excuses because Brad brought it up. Uh,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Goldie brought it up. Well, you know, we just traveled here,
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: just got here. You know, that's and this is all
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: the post game they're bringing this up. Okay, Well if
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: we're gonna use that excuse on the broadcast, and I
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: would ask myself, well, why was he pitching? Why wouldn't
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: you let him acclimate to the new bullpen, the new catchers,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: the new systems and do everything pullpencatcher, pitching, coaches, all that.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: You didn't need him, You you need him.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: You're gonna need him down the stretch in a high
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: leverage situation. And what you did is you put him
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: out there and let him get just his blank lit up.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Where's his head gonna be now? Yeah, because if her
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: you know, Taylor Ward, I get it. He probably was
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: just a little anxious at the play. That wasn't who
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: he's been all year. I'm sure that turns around sooner
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: than later.
• 48:25
  Speaker 13: Uh.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: The guy that makes contact, doesn't strike out, gets on base,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: all that did all that last night like just was
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: was not good. But you can live with that. The Minga's,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, they need so I didn't get
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: that one at all. But it was one game, get
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: a win tonight, get a win tomorrow, win the series.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: As Dan said yesterday, tough one tonight.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: See the thing is, it's not just one game, though,
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: And they're fifty five and fifty nine. This is a
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: terrible baseball team.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: This is terrible.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: There They're not terrible, they're just they're they're basically averaged
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: with a bunch of other average teams and that. But
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: the problem is they shouldn't because, as Joe pointed out yesterday,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: their talent is way better.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, right, that's the problem. Yeah, it is the problem.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Oh god, they're a maddening team. We're gonna touch on
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: something later. We'll do it one forty five. Can I'm
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: gonna revisit this. Yeah, because you asked me a question yesterday,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: ab what the fan base is rooting for. We'll get
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: back to that.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: One, right, sounds good?
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, well we come back. We'll just get a little break,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: cleans the pald a little bit. I caught up with
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Jason Quick, athletic writer for the NBA, been doing it
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: for twenty plus years. What's the latest with the Blazers.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: How does it affect the Sonics maybe coming back? What's
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: going on in Portland? How does that affect us here?
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: That's my question. We'll find out next.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian for NEETs at the Virginia Mason
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Athletics Center and our special coverage of Seahawks training camp,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: brought to you by the Boeing Classic on Sports three
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: kJ r F M.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: All right, well, go back to in sports right now
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: nine three point three KGRAF fam Me internests with you,
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: and I've been wanting to track this guy down for
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: a while. He's a very busy man. Why because all
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: hell's breaking loose in Rip City down in Portland. Jason
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Quick uh it says here is the senior writer for
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: the Athletic. He's based in Portland. He writes about personalities
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: and trends of the NBA with a focus on human connections.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Uh multiple times, four times Oregon Sports Right of the Year.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Also remember the Pro Basketball Writers Association. I just know
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: him as a guy. When I first got to Portland
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: twenty plus years ago, one of the best dudes I
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: met down there, did a pregame show with us on
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: on the fan down there and has been added ever
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: since doing work at a high level. He was at
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: your going back then now with the Athletic and man,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: great to have you on, Jason. How you doing, quicker,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great for the ball, miss do. I got
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: so many nicknames, and that one just get anders.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: I don't want to hear anything from you. Back to
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: the repertoire.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: No no, But I think that's about to change.
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: Its changed, love it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Oh God, we had some good times. I thought that
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: I thought that maybe, you know, as our reader the
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: bio here with the athletic I thought, maybe now you
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: could actually, you know, do what you do. And that's right,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: do a great job writing about the personalities and things
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: around the NBA, become of the NBA forever. That's not
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: the case this summer, buddy, that's not the case at all.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Is what's going on down there? Looks like all hell's
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: breaking loose.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a sticky situation, but it's fascinating at the
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: same time. So as you know, the the arena situation
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: was at the top of this new owner, Tom Dundan's
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: to do list when he bought the team in March,
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: and he felt that the Modu Center needed renovations and
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: it does. Yeah, so he wants he wants the public
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: to fund all the renovations, and he is asking for
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: five hundred and seventy three million, and the state has
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: already approved three hundred and sixty five contingent on the
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: city and county also contributing. So thursdays today, Thursday.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: Today is Wednesday.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Wednesday, Today's Wednesday. So tomorrow the county votes on whether
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: to give them eighty eight million. I expect that to pass.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Next Wednesday, the city votes on whether to give them
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty. I expect that to pass. But
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: then the sticky part happens. Then they negotiate a lease agreement.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: So if they have the money, he says he'll sign
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: a twenty year lease. That's what he said initially. Now
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: he's saying, I want the money, but I also want
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: my lease terms to be different and more business friendly.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: So they have until December to come to that agreement.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: If they don't, then it's very very likely that he
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: looks to move the team elsewhere to do business.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I want to go back a little bit if I can, Jason,
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: and just you know, we as an NHL city up
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: here right now, and you know, working in the league
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: as I do now, I the name Tom Dundon is
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: not highly thought of in the NHL, and I know,
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: and I always laugh when people well he just wanted
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup. Well he didn't, although I guess if you
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: look at the Stanley Cup, he and his infant child
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: and everybody else. Yeah, the family apparently did. Had nothing
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: to do with Rod, Brenda bar or the rest of
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: the group. But but like in the NHL, he's known
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: for Penny pinching. He's known as a cheap singer. He's
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: known for all the things support one's going through. How
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: and I and this is affecting us up here in
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Seattle because we're you know, as you well know, we're
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: waiting for the NBA to come back. We think it's
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: going to happen in twenty twenty eight, but you just
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: don't know. And I guess the question is, and you know, why,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: why did this guy end up being the only guy
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: that would I'm assuming the only one or the one
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: that they picked up to buy the Blazers from the
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Allen Trust. He had the highest bid, and I think
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: contractually they were obligated to accept the highest bid. There
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: was another bid from the team or from the ownership
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: group that owns the Portland Fire and owns the Portland
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Thorns soccer team down here, but Dundon Group outbid them.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: And and it's a investment group, to be clear, like
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: he is not the he is the main owner, but
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: he has to answer to a bunch of other investment groups.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: You know who owns PF. Chang's an investment guy in Chicago,
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: a local guy here Shield Tile. There's a bunch of
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: people who have who have money in this but he
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: is kind of the main one. But he is easily.
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: I've been living in Portland since ninety four. He has
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: easily become the most despised character in port in sports
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: since I've been here. Uh, I think it's going to
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: be tough for him to do business and moving forward,
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: even if he ends up staying here in Portland. There
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: is so much hatred and vitriol to this guy. I
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: think it's gonna be toough for him to do business.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: And just the way he has already shown that he's
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: going to do business. He doesn't care about his employees. Uh,
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: he's got He's completely tone death on everything he does.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: Anytime the Blazers have done something positive, you know, they
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: made the play in game, well, he made everyone check
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: out early. They make the playoffs. He doesn't bring the
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: two way players. He wins to Stanley Cup. He shines
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: a couple of employees and players off the cup. Every
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: time something positive happens, he has a fine. He finds
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: a way of tripping over himself and making himself the story.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: And it's not a good story.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Jason Quick with the athletic joining us, you know and
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: you know, we we watched carefully, not just because of expansion,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: but you know, as I've ta you know, I've been
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: on done radio hits down there. The day he bought
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: the team, I remember doing some stuff with your buddies
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: with Suke and Rob at the fan and I said, guys,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: this is and talk to Canzano, you're a former coworker
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: at the OREGONI and I said, this is. This is
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent of Clayton Bennett playbook. There's a couple
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: tweets to the playbook like they're maybe they're not running
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: a zone read, but they're doing everything else in the playbook.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: It's it's the same thing. The difference, I guess would
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: be this he like Clayton Bennett had already made NBA
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: arena that they had used a year before in Oklahoma
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: City to move to if Dundon, and you wrote the
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: other day that, you know, like there's still a chance
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: they're deeply divided, and it sounds like it's maybe coming,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: you know, closer to getting together with the city because
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: the city is the final key here. But is there
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: a viable option, whether it be Nashville, which is renovating
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the Bridgetown Arena or Austin or wherever. Is there a
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: viable place for him to take the team too.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: I think right now the most viable city is Kansas City.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: They've got a great arena there. They're they're losing the chiefs,
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: you know, the all the areas losing the chiefs, right,
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: So I think they would be hungry, and I think
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: that the mayor there is interested in doing that. But
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: it's so funny, like at the Crux here, I have
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: people in the ownership team saying, we haven't talked about relocation.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: We haven't talked about it because it's a lot of
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: effort and it's a lot of money, which is interesting
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: because if you know it's a lot of effort and
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of money, how of they not talked about relocation.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: But they're investors, right, I just just checking the right,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: they're investors, okay, all right?
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, So it's just funny because initially it was give
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: us a statement, give us the public money, and we'll
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: stay for twenty years. The public money is about to
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: be delivered to them, But now they're totally moving the
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: goalposts and they're saying Portland is a hard place to
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: do business, which it is, but you need to make
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: it more business friends for us. So they've you know,
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: the first pass with the money. Now they're asking for
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: better terms on their lease, you know, more tax relief,
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: no rents, all these kinds of things, and it's like
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: and then on top of that, they're not even coming
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: to the negotiating table in good faith. And so this
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: whole process all started, you know, long before Dundon bought
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: the team, and since he bought the team, I have
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: high ranking city officials say the tone of the Blazers
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: and how they show up to the negotiating table has
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: directly changed. They're not engaging, they're not sharing information, they're
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: not bringing documents, and they've developed this adversarial tone. And
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: so you know, the city's like, we're about to give
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: you money, why are you being so difficult? Like they're
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: not even showing them how they're going to spend the money.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: The city has the responsibility before they've him them the
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty million, to be able to tell
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: their taxpayers that this is how the money's going to
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: be spent. The Blazers will not show them how they
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: plan to spend the money. And so the big question is, Okay,
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: why are they being like that? And the easiest conclusion
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: is they're trying to create this perception that Oregon in
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: Portland is not willing to step up to the table
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: and help us, so we have to move. So it's
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: easy to concoct a scenario where you can justify that
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: the Blazers are on the road to leaving. But you
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: can also counterbalance that by saying he's just being a
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: really hard, you know, negotiator right now. This is part
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: of his bargaining game plan is to be the real
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: stickler and be really hard and you know, to be clear,
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: they have until December to make this deal. So I
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: think we're in store for four or five months of
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: some pretty rough sailing, of going back and forth saying no,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: I want this, we want that.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: And so we have to see if they'll they'll be
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: an engaged partner and really negotiating good faith. So far
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: they have not.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: Jason Click with the Athletic joining us, almost mentioned your
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: old deployer. He internesced with the fan. I'm okay, the well,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. Where is Adam Silver in this? Where's
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: the league in this?
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Are they it seems like they're very quiet.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: They were very involved in helping in March get the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: to get the state to get on board with the
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty five million in bonds. He was
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: very involved in saying that this is necessary, the arena
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: needs updating because of this, that and the other and so.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: And he was disappointed because he thought at that time,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: at in addition to the state, but the city and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: county also were in agreement. And the city and in
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: county we're in agreement that yes, we see that this
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: is a viable project to put on the table, but
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: we're not just going to rubber stamp this through. We're
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: going to have to go through the due processes of
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: going through committees, showing your work, why what the money's
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: being spent on. And so now I think that's why
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Stern are Stern Silver made those comments that he was
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: disappointed in how it seems that things have gone off
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: the off the rails, and really, you know, there was
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: no agreement in March. It was just kind of a
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: a handshake or a understanding that yes, this is something
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: that needs to be done, but there was no agreement signed, sealed, delivered,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: And that's how the Blazers and I think Silver are acting,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: But whether or not he'll step in, I doubt it.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I doubt it too.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna. He's gonna If the owner thinks
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: he can get a better deal elseware, he'll support that.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you if this is very naive question,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: because I think I know the answer. But I you know,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: we've seen how the league's operated with Vancouver and Seattle
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: and and so forth. I wonder, does do you think,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: and you've covered the league forever, you're talking to guys
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: all throughout the league, do you think the league as
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: a whole, not just Adam Silver, the league as a whole.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Do they value Portland and the equity that's you know,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: half a century of basketball in Portland, Oregon?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: Do they value that?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: They do in lip service, but in the bottom line,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: bottom line, Adam Silver and the rest of the NBA
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: is about making money. You guys saw that portant in
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: Seattle all too well, you know, I mean Seattle. Seattle
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: has one of the best fan bases of all time,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: that was the one. The arena, atmosphere and experience in
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Seattle was second to none in the NBA. And they
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: let that slip right out of their hands. They do
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: not care. They care about making money. Adam silver Is
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: works for the owners. He does not work for the fans.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: He works for the owners.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: I agree.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: I got a couple more things for Jason quick before
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: we let him go. One would be this, We saw
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: that the costs or the layoffs of the front office staff,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: you know, whether it be corporate partnerships, ticket sales, pr staff,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: et cetera. A few months ago. And I remember at
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: the time, and just for people, though I did work
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: for the Comcast Sportsnet for a while and a lot
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: of my friends in the broadcasting department, they were all
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: kind of on pins and needles, although they found out
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: a while ago, but it did get announced it then
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: they also cut that group back, which is again out
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: of the Carolina Hurricanes playbook. That's why John Foresland is
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: here in Seattle. He was the Kevin collaboral of Carolina
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: and they let him go, along with the radio guy
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: who had been there forever too. Kse is a icon,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: not just in Seattle but in the NBA. He's been
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: in Portland for a long time. If what's the reaction
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: of that, because I know that that broadcast crew was very,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: very highly thought of by the fan base, the people
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: that buy tickets, corporate sponsors, whether it be Michael Holton
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: or Jamie or or Casey Holdall who did the digital
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: what's the reaction from the fans, because that is just
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: a kind of a greasy move by him.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: I think, Uh, first of all, let me also just
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: inject one thing before I get back to the broadcast crew. Yeah,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: included in those layoffs with a guy by the name
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: of Dan Barrett. Dan Barrett is the president of c
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: aa Icon, which is the big the nation's biggest. They
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: deal with sports stadiums and stuff, and he was the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: one who helped Dundon get the Carolina Arena renovation. He
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: was on the Blazers arena renovation team and he got fired.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: He was part of those layoffs. If you really want
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: to get your arena deal done, why do you fire
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: your guy that got the arena deal done in Carolina?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: And the city was the city. Guys are going. We
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: had such progress and had such a trust with Dan,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: and then he gets released and we have to start
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: new with new people. So that's just a side note
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: to those layoffs. It's very very interesting. But getting back
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: to the broadcasters that I think for the fans was
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: the last straw as far as you know, I think
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: there was still there are people who were this initially, Okay, yeah,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: we don't like this guy. After the pan thing of
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: making him check out, then he really wasn't well liked.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: After he didn't bring the two way players to the
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: playoff game, and then the layoffs happened, and then when
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: the broadcast thing happened, then I think it was just
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: open season. There's very hard to find anyone willing to
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: give him the benefit of the doubt. I think a
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: lot of people are like, well, let's wait and see
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: what he does with the roster. Let's see how all
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: this shit's out. Now. I think it's almost unanimous that
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: this guy sucks, you know, I mean he really sucks.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: He's and he's really out of touch with Portland and
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: what matters to us. And I'm telling you I've talked
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: to him twice, you know, in person, one on one.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: He's not a real likable guy. He doesn't care about that,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: and it shows he's got an arrogance, a stubbornness, and
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: he just hasn't been willing to understand or try to
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: understand what makes Portland click and what could make this
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: successful in Portland. I only think he wants to try so,
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: and that has shown so far, and how he's negotiating
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 3: with the city and trying to get this arena deal done.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: Well, We'll keep an eye on things again the vote
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: coming up on Thursday and then next week as well,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: and make sure people go to the Athletic. We use
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks from the Athletic and so our
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: favorite site. Before I let you go, you and I've
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: I was there with you in the early two thousands. Uh,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: during the height of the jail Blazers. By the way,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: how how did you not get on the Netflix thing?
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: What the hell?
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Like? I thought that I thought they really missed the ball.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: I thought that was just for three players.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: It was so bad it was I I just I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: mentioned on the air when I watched it. Finally, it's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: like you should have been on it, uh, Dwight Jane
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: should have been on it. It was a handful of
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: people that should have been on.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: It that that were They just didn't use the footage.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Which is insane. It no because Bonzie and Rashid Uh
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: I like Damon, So I'm not gonna I'm not going
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: to torch game and I like Damon. I really like Damon,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: and Damon was like those three guys easily easily yeah, right,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: easily the best the best guy to work with and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: deal with the other two guys to make them a victim.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Was that was just an.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: Embarrassment, like an absolute embarrassing.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: But we've been through that. We've been you know, you've
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: been through a lot of things over the years, Paul
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: putting the put the building up in foreclosure, different things
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: like that. Where does this thing rank in terms of
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: you know, like in terms of crisis level for the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Blazers in Portland?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: Is this the number one thing?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 14: Is this?
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: Is this like the low point right far and away?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: By far and away?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: I think this is I think this is the third
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: biggest story in the history of the Blazers, one being
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: them being granted an NBA franchise to winning the title.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: Three what happens right here, this is a real crisis
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: point in the history of the Blazers.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: If you don't need to look any further than what
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: happened in Seattle, and how enuous and how quickly that
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: can slip away and how long it takes to get back.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: If it ever does. So this is an extreme, extreme
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: crisis point, and.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: I bring it up just for this reason I think,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: is we we are pretty confident. I'm really confident that
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: they're going to be the Sonic back here in twenty
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: twenty eight. And it wouldn't be right if we had
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: no Portland Trail Blazers. If I'm like, I mean, I
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: mean seriously, like if if it's if we're playing the
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Austin Blazers or the you know, Kansas City Blazers or
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: something like, I just make me sick to my stomach.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: Like we need the.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: Blazers to stay in Portland because we're getting the team
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: back and we need the rivalry, you know. I mean,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: that's that's the bottom line. Quicker. So well, listen, great
• 1:09:27

  Speaker 2: back more from Seahawks next nine three point three KHFM.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Now back to Ian at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: and our special coverage of Seahawks training camp, brought to
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: you by the Bowing Classic on Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Funk three kJ r FA.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: We're back big, Thanks you James Quick to pop it on.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: We're here at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center. That sound
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: good down there in Portland. Seahawks have signed running back TJ. Harden,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: formerly Browns. According to Ian Rappaport, Oh Rap's gettingt a
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: little scoop, is he? I must have agreed, I must
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: have agreed to call Witherspoon's agent. Yeah, you asked me
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: a question yesterday. I want you to bring that back
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: up about the Mariners.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it just feels like this season there's a lot
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 5: more I don't want to say, wanting the team to lose,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 5: but there's less of a It's hard to it's hard
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: to really describe it, but how many fans want the
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 5: Mariners to almost lose to have them get a wake
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 5: up call, at this point, how many people care about
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: just making it into the playoffs If you were to
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 5: get in with an eighty five win record at this point.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: I think, I think I'm always going to fall on
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: the side of I'll want them in the playoffs. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: And and I just and maybe I'm this is just
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: blind optimism, thinking that oh, hey, maybe they'll get on
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: a run in the playoffs and do But I think
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: because the American League is just such garbage, like there
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: just isn't anything out there that scares the daylights out
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: of you. You know, maybe Judge comes back and the
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: Yankees get going. We'll see Tampa this weekend, right, I mean,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: we'll see what they're all about.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think, let's put it this way. I don't
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: think that if they were in the playoffs, there would
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: be any matchup that you would say, man, they really
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: have no chance.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 5: I agree, I agree, right yeah.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: And so if that's the case, then cool, Like, you
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: got a chance to win, you got a chance to
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: go deep, you got a chance get the World Series.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: If you were in the National League, you're like, well,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: it's fine, but probably the deepest we'll get at the NLCS, right,
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: And that's not the case here.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: The other thing is, what do you think it really
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 5: needs sweeping changes? Do you think this organization is kind
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 5: of it's like a fool's goal at this point if
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: you were to make the playoffs, right? Or do you
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: think that this has just been a really down year
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 5: and they will get back to it with a very
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 5: similar roster most likely next year they would get back
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: to kind of the heights they reached in twenty twenty five.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 5: I think that kind of determines how you feel about
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: this season so far.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: There's really there's just no way to tell if. Here's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: the thing if with cal because to me, it's just
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: based on him, right. We all knew the name or
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: contract wasn't going to age well. We didn't think it
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: would age this poorly this fast. But I think the
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: col part is the one that concerns me. Is this
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: a guy that peaked last year and now is on
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: the decline. He's closer to thirty than he is to
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: twenty five. He plays a really demanding position, played the
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: hell out of it last year. Is is there just
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: is are we seeing? And baseball is weird too? With
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: I have to ask, I have to ask, maybe Eno
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: and knows a little bit more tomorrow and some like
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: bat speed and stuff, some of those things, because I'll
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: never forget John Oldrud the drop off he had from
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: one season to another, right, like all the time, to
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: be honest, right, And that was the guy I always
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: think of, because this guy went from being one of
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: the best hitters in the game to not being able
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: to catch up to stuff. Just he was done. And
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's Cal, But I guess what you're
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: asking that question. The question I have to myself is
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: am I com I think? Am I confident? Am I
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: confident that Cal can bounce back? I don't know, I'm
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: not really I hope, so I would side on that.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: I would probably more err on the side of ye,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: I think he will. But I mean, we're so deep
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: into the season. The thought of him just all of
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: a sudden catching fire and lighting it up the rest
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: of the year, I think that might be a little
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: bit of.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: A pipe dream, right right right?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 5: And I think again, I and They're not.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: Going to win at a high level without him being
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: a big part of no.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 5: And there's nothing that I've seen this year. The entirety
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: of twenty twenty six that tells me that this team
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 5: is going to be a good team in the playoffs
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 5: for the next few years, so or even just this year.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 5: Staph staph isn't even So Who's who's outperforming? H right,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 5: if any singular picture who is outperforming you know what
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: they should be or what you expected from them this season?
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: Outperforming?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, nobody, nobody, Maybe Emmerson.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: But you know what, Brian woot Home is outperforming himself.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: So half of Brian, I was gonna say, for actually
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: separating him as two different players, then yeah, well you.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Have to because he is two different pictures. Roade Brian
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: who was awful, Holme Brian who was really good. And
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: the good news is he's going tonight. So yeah, there

• 1:17:51

• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: guy being interviewed.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: That would be Bud.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: He was sensational. Every bit is good, if not better
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: than he was on draft Day, which was fantas I
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: think he's spoken at the podium already as well. Yeah, great,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: up there. We'll get to his where he's at, his
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: his role on this team and all those things in
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: a minute. Let me start with this. We haven't talked
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: to you for a couple of days. You've got another job.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: It's called Emverer Slee, Spectrum dot com, locked on Seahawks,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: all those things. I don't want to bother you every
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: single day, but I haven't had a chance to talk
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: to you in the last few days. Thoughts on what
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: we've seen. This is day ten, just overriding thoughts and themes.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: It's really been it's been fascinating because this.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 6: Is only they've only had three padded practices in the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 6: first ten. I thought they were for sure, we're gonna
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 6: be out there in pads again today.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: And for those watching Hard Knocks last night, you would
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: have thought the same thing because Mike McDonald talked about it. Great,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: down the pads on, let's get after. We're gonna be
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: more physical this this training camp.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 6: But it's been Yeah, this is now three out of
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 6: ten that they have not had pads on, or three
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: of the ten they've had pads. Seven of the ten
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 6: they haven't. They're in shoulder pads today, right, they don't
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: have any?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 6: No?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: They're not in that?
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: Are they? Yeah?
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: No, Actually, you know the best way to look at
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: it is check out Abe Lucas no neck role. So yes, yeah,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: they they are.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 6: In nonpad This is an Ota style. Yeah, they've been
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 6: doing that a lot. And it's kind of it's interesting
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 6: to me because the first two years of Mike McDonald here,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 6: it felt like they had more padded practices. So I
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 6: don't know if it's you know, he kind of hinted
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 6: at this the other day that they're they're banged up.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: They've got some guys that have got some injuries they're
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 6: dealing with. So maybe that's one of those things where, hey,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 6: we're trying to make sure we get everybody ready to go.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 6: Maybe Friday and Saturday we can get two padded day,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 6: Saturday being the of course the scrimmage coming up at Loomin.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 6: But I've been kind of surprised a little bit by that.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Who's jumped out at you.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 6: You know, there's a number of guys I could keep
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 6: talking about Michael Dansby, and I'm I thought Aden Durday yesterday,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 6: the way that he reacted talking about him, clearly the
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 6: coaching staff has noticed him.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Seventh round picks. He was a last raft pick, last
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: of three seventh rounders.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 6: But the other seventh round corners made some plays too,
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 6: and Andre Fuller is starting to play some inside. They've
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 6: been using him so of the slot. So I think
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 6: those two guys continue to stand out as as positives.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 6: And Ricky White the third. Ricky White the third has
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 6: had a really good camp for the Seahawks, and so
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 6: last year's seventh round pick out of u n LV,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: that spot for that sixth receiver position is incredibly hot.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: Right now, let's let me let's go. Okay, so Jays
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: and Cup Shaheed, I'm ing Horton Bobo. I'm basing Bobo.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: He's hurt right now, but I'm basing that on a contract.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Bobo's gonna be on this roster. That's fine. So six
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: is between Cody White, Ricky White, who else I'm.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 6: Gonna throw a well, Irv's gonna be in that mix.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 6: Emmanuel Henderson their sixth round pick. But I'm gonna throw
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 6: one more name in there. Montory Foster junior, Okay, has
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 6: looked pretty darn good at.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: So we're looking at four guys for one spot, probably
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: four or five yeah, yeah, and special teams is going
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: to be the decider. Ricky White, the third is a
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: guy that can they when they drafted, they really talked
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: about his returnability. He's on the practice squad all year,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: activated twice last year.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 6: He's also a punt blocking machine. Okay, at least was
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 6: in college. So that so Jay Harbaugh is gonna have
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 6: to say it that six guy V Charles looks like
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 6: a tank running down the field. Yeah, he looks like
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 6: a tight end. Yeah, but he you want to be
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 6: a punt returner and have that guy bearing down on you, No,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 6: and he's just yeah, And he's made some plays out here.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 6: He did drop what would have been a forty yard
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 6: touchdown yesterday. Throw was right in the bread, just didn't
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: get his hands fully aren't fully extended. But he's made
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 6: some plays. Manuel Henderson has been kind of quiet, but
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 6: he's got the most athletic ability in that group as
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: a sixth rounder coming in.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: And Cody White's just you know, Cody White.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 6: Just every time he gets a chance, he makes plays.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: I just he's probably the safest bet though, to get
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 6: to your practice squad.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been around long enough, it's doubt. I mean,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: I'm I think at Cody White. I think every team
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: has a Cody White, right Like I think like like
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: we always go through this every year, the consternation of
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, who's gonna get you know, can you
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: float them through? And all that, and every team has
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: those same guys. So, but there are guys you're Super
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: Bowl champion. People look at this team differently than they
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: look at a team like the Cleveland Browns. Right when
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: they're making cutdowns and it's like, oo, that guy was
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: in the mix in Seattle.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 6: Probably protective player that's That's one of the things about
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: Emmanuel Henderson that stands out is you're talking about a
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 6: guy who has four to three speed. I mean, he's
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 6: got traits and he's been at he was a special
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 6: teams ace as a freshman at Alabama. Nick Saban raved
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 6: about the kid. There's a lot of reason to believe
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: that he could be somebody that would be hard to
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: bring back, but he's got to show more. We haven't
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 6: seen enough on offense from him to this point.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: Let's talk injuries per second. I'll get to Emon Worry
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: in a second and then we'll transition to Bud Clark.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: But let me I thought it was a really ominous
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: tone from Mike McDonald talking about Robbie Oots the other day.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 6: I felt the same way. And look, Mike, Mike, typically
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 6: this time of year, coach McDonald is normally very coy
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: like behind cooy when it comes like he just says
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 6: training camp things usually, but that was not where he
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 6: went with that, and you could just the body language.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 6: It kind of felt like when he was talking about
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: Kenny McIntosh this offseason, like there's just certain things that
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 6: stand out and just saying we will have an update.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: Soon that's a neck injury, right, Well, we don't know,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: we don't know that. That's just getting assumption.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 6: That's I think that's being assumed at this point because
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 6: he missed the last two games in the playoffs last
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 6: year with the neck issue. And of course Seahawk fans,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 6: your ears are gonna perk up when you hear neck
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: because the guys, I mean, think about it, Chris Carson, Chancellor,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 6: They've lost a number of players to career ending neck injury.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 6: So anytime you hear neck with the football player, especially
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 6: a full back.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the Carson be definitely the one you
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: think about that because it just it ended like just
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: that it's not a knee, it's nothing you can fix,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: like you're not gonna mess around with that. No, it's
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: especially especially the position he can Again, we don't we
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: don't know that. I just felt it just felt very
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: ominous when the way the way.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 6: That he responded in the body language. Yes, I I
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 6: could see why people would jump to the conclusion that
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 6: that felt like that was not a that was not
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 6: a typical run of the mill training camp thing injury.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: Corbus Smith and we'll see spectrum, and we'll see spectrum
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: dot com. Make sure you're subscribing. We'll tell you how
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: at the end here in just a couple of seconds,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: how tights the tight end battle.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know that.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's one though that could be impacted by
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 6: Robbie Huts's situation, because if he's not available and he's out,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: you might keep an extra tight end because Brady Russell
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 6: is gonna be playing full back exclusively at that point
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 6: you keep.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Is Nick Fanet a guy you can put in the backfield.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: I think I remember him doing that before, maybe it
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: was with Pittsburgh.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 6: I think he can do that. Calior Up can do that. Yeah,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 6: Calaup is a mean he's a mean physical player, so
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 6: and a little tall. That might be the biggest issue
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 6: for him there. But certainly Brady Russell can play there. Mason,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 6: their undrafted rookie out of Lance Mason, the undrafted rookie
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 6: out of Wisconsin's been playing back there a little bit,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 6: so they they've got a few guys they can rotate
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 6: back there. But I was most intrigued by them having
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 6: either Emmanuel Wilson or George Hallani in there. With with
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 6: with Jendarian Price yesterday.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: Interesting all right, we'll get back. I want to get
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: back that second. Let me circle into the extent of
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: the injuries for a second. On Hard Knocks last night,
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: we saw Emon Worri basically carting himself into the office
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: on a little scooter to talk to Mike McDonald and
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: you know, they had a great conversation, talked about, you know,
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: doing what's best for him and the team and all this,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: all these types of things. There was there was a
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: lot of you know, I saw a lot of people go,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: oh my god, he's he's on a scooter and it's
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: hard knocks. That was actually day one a training camp.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: Since that time, we've seen even Worri walk out onto
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: the field, no scooter. Uh, he has like a that
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: he doesn't really use that much.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 6: But I haven't seen it. I haven't seen him use that.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: The last yeah, several days. Yeah he's walking. Yeah, he's
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: out there, So the scooter's gone. That's a key. But
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: you certainly.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 6: And we've got about a forty five yard throw dartle
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 6: is Shaheed there and man, he has been fun. He's
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 6: been fun in this camp.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: They very nicely done the even worry though, like just
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: by looking at that two weeks ago, basically a week
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: and a half ago. You're like, man, that doesn't look
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: like he's gonna be ready for the opener. We don't
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: know that, but it didn't look great. Even though he
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: is walking around right now, he's a ways away. There's
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: no doubt about that. Uh, where does that? What does
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: that mean? The Anthony Bell still seems to be the
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: most logical fit in that position. They have used Clark there.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 6: Let's talk about throw one more name in there for you,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: Andre Fuller.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: Andre Fuller, Okay.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: We've seen him. He and Anthony Bell were actually just
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 6: working just the two of them in a drill that
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 6: was near the line of scrimmage. So it looks like
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 6: they're working them at that big nickel.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 2: Where's Bud Clark fit into all this?
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: Bud Clark is another one of those guys that can
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: kind of do a little bit of everything. He didn't
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: play a ton in the box at TCU, but he
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 6: played a lot of slot, so he's been close to
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage. He's played that free safety position.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 6: He's not nick even worry, but he's he's got that
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 6: hybrid ability as kind of a free safety with the slot,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 6: whereas nick Eman worry is more of the strong safety
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 6: defensive end with.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: Slot is Clark Now today it's Okata looks like he's
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: with the ones. So is Clark challenging Olcata? I don't
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: even know if they're challenging.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 6: I think it's more about, hey, do we want to
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 6: mix in three and four safety sets? Where Bud Clark
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 6: is in the line of because I think thirty nine
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 6: is he's earned that respect from the coaching staff. I
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 6: don't think that they're I mean, obviously it's always about competing,
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 6: but we've seen Akada out there for the vast majority,
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 6: and he just he can play both safety spots. He's
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 6: just another Mike McDonald's guy. This is more about, hey,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 6: Bud Clark, do you want to play?
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: Do you want to play?
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 6: Is that fourth safety in some of these nickel and
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 6: dime sets?
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: Oh Cott, I did mention this earlier that I Andrews
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: I was gonna be I kind of tease it earlier.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: One are the funny things with the hard knocks that
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: just little things you notice every time they showed the
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: team meeting in the auditorium and it's like guys are
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: kind of filtering in. This is the most tile kotta
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: thing in the world. Anybody's ever talked to him, we
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: had him on the air. He's always the first guy there.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: He is always right in the front row. Tyle katta
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: coaches guy right there, Gonna be a coach someday, even
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: though he didn't like that when I aske him about it,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: because he's still got a lot of football left, but
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: I did that. But yeah, he's It just feels like
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: and with McDonald, you got to figure there's a pretty
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: good trust with him as well.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's felt that way ever since he got here.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 6: It's it's a guy there. Yeah, really nice to play
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 6: there on HIET. Yeah, he's he's making all kinds of
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 6: plays out here. He's reliable, he can play multiple positions.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: You know, he's gonna know his assignments. And that's what
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 6: you get from being the guy that sits in the front.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 6: I mean there might be some people like coaches, Penn
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 6: or whatever. I don't view it that way. Hey, that's
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 6: a guy that really loves football. Well, it's a guy
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: that battles way on the roster and he takes care
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 6: of his business. Yeah, he does his thing and there's
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 6: no grab ass in his world. Yeah, I mean it
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 6: when it broke up the ball. There was funny like
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 6: the when Clark was here earlier and he was saying,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 6: I said he watch Hard Knocks.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: He said yeah, and he said, so what you thought?
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: He goes man. I didn't like it because all they
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: should was the offense beating us up and you know,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: getting Mike coach Mike was bad. I said, yeah, he's
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: a defensive coach, and that those episodes which were filmed
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: early in camp, it was the offense was having his
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: way with the defense.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 6: I don't know a lot of the practices out here,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 6: though the offense has held the upper hand. I mean,
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 6: earlier this week, I wrote an article on Edward City
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 6: Spectrum about it, like Shaheed had a fifty five yard touchdown.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 6: J We've sawt We've seen Elijah Royal feels like every
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 6: prac this is getting a thirty plus.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: And Vayless Jones.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 6: There's another guy that's kind of you know, we kind
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 6: of forgot about him a little bit in that running
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 6: back room. But the fact he can play a receiver,
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 6: like maybe you don't keep a sixth receiver, maybe you
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 6: keep Vayalis Jones and say, hey, he's our fourth running back.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 6: And our sixth receiver because he's a really good special
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 6: teams player.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Our Friendy and Rappaport, who drew the ire of John Schneider,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: did report The Seahawks a little while ago have signed
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: t J. Harden, former Brown brown back.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 6: Yep play for Cleveland. Yeah, gotta wonder if that's Jaccarti.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 6: Wright is banged up a couple of days ago.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 2: We don't we have out there.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 6: I do not believe so we have not gotten an
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: update from coach on that he got his leg hit
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 6: kind of funny in practice a couple of days ago.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 6: So I would assume that that I don't either.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: I want to see I want to see him. I
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: want to see him in the preseason. Corbyn, I want
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: to see Jacardi, right. I think there's something there.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: Guy, I think so too, But I'm just telling you
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: he's not practicing right now. So and then this might
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 6: and it could Hey, this could have to do with
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 6: Robbie youats too.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: We don't know at this point, but I know we're
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: not supposed to do this play by play, but uh,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: nice coverage by Derek Hall and Brady Russell Anders if
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: that rings a bell for you forcast Nice and no
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: fisticuffs afterwards.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 5: What's that anders, No, I'm saying that's a positive thing
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 5: compared to what we saw last night.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot more.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: Listen, Russell came to the defensive cable. Dude, I get it.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: But there was some other stuff going on there, so
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: all good.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: It's a training camp fight. They happened.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: McDonald's comments about that when he was miked up were
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: interesting because it reminded me a little bit of Pete
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: like And we asked McDonald we had him on here
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: last week Corbin about because that was that was the
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: day when we had them on is when they had
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: those scuffles that they were showing on TV last night,
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: and said, what do you think is it like there's
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 2: that fine line you want a little something, but you
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: want too much, Right, there's a little bit but not
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: too much. And what's a little it's it's and then
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: his thing last night, so we're wasting time. That guy
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to waste a second of time a practice time. Yep,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: that's how he operates. The scrimmage coming up on Sunday,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to you probably are on Saturday. We'll probably
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: talk to you Friday as well. Get what do they
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: get out of that.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: Do you think you know it's being I know it's
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: gonna sound crazy, but being in a stadium environment again
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: for the first time.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: I agree with you, by the way with that, because
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: that's something we've talked about a lot coaches of time.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: Pete used to talk about that all the time. That's
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: why they don't think you.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 6: Want to go into it your first actual like preseason
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 6: game or whatever, when you haven't had that stadium environment.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 6: It's it's not gonna be any different in terms of
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 6: the practice style. Like, it's not gonna be any more
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: physical than what they've been doing out here. There's not
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 6: going to be tackling, but it's gonna be that next
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 6: step towards Now.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: This isn't a green blue game or anything like that.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: If fans are wondering that's that's not what it is.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: I you know, they years ago they did the game
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: out at POPKINI in Boffel. They did this that Saturday
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: game at Popkin and Baffle, which I thought was really
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: cool and really awesome. First of all, probably the best
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: high school stadium in the state just in a lot
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: of way. It's just a really cool place. Place was packed,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: you know, obviously there's only what is it, six thousand
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: seats there or something like this was jammed. Was fine,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: but it was a high school stadium, right, And I
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: think what you just said there is the key is
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: probably why they haven't done it again, because you want
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: to get inside an NFL stadum. You want to get
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: here's the process, here's how we warm up. How they
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of new guys, but there will
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: be new guys on the rosters. You try to get
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: that as well.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: And trying to do the security there was also kind
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: of a yeah, it was a shaky thing.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff about it. It was cool,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: but it was I could see whether it was a
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: one saying, and it was one.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 6: Let's be honest. Pete did these much different than Mike does.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 6: Like Mike, Mike treats it like a regular practice, like
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 6: they do a lot of drill work and it's not
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 6: a scrimmage per se, where if Pete Carroll was literally like,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 6: we're gonna put quarters up there, We're gonna try to
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 6: make this as game like as we can while still
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: having limitations.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: You mentioned Vellis Jones, who's kind of gone back and
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: forth between receiver and running back and the running back position.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: Jadarian Price, what are you saying?
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 15: Starter?
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 6: He's the starter, But I still think it's going to
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 6: be closer to like a fifty to fifty arrangement with
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 6: George Hallani, just because Halani is incredibly reliable with those
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: third down.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: Stuff, with it with the pass protections until Sharbonnay comes back,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 2: he's your third down back.
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's say a question about that, is there?
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 6: No, there's no question about it. I will say this though,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 6: maybe one of the bigger surprises for me, and I
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 6: actually actually asked Mike McDonald about this. I believe on Monday,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 6: a man who Wilson's been making some grabs out here
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 6: like that. That guy can catch. He's got really good hands,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 6: really two hundred and thirty pounds back. He made a
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 6: one handed grab down here on the one side field
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 6: and he's and McDonald's said, yeah, sometimes you put these
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 6: guys into a box. You know, he's a two hundred
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 6: and thirty pound back, but he's he The pass protection
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: is gonna have to be better on his end, but
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 6: he can catch.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. When you're watching the one one pass pro, it's
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: it's Hailani and then a drop off, right, yeah, it's.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 6: Hailani and then a you know, very large and then
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: everyone else.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: So like so those linebackers when they're doing the one
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: on one pass rustials against running backs, they're just saying,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: anybody but thirty six and I'm.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 6: Good unless you're Ernest Jones.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: He said, I want the best, which yeah, yeah, which,
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: And I had Hajlani on when do we have alani Els?
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: Last Friday? I think it was Andrews, right, yep, we
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: had Jilani on. He talked about that. He goes, yeah,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: well that's what he wanted to Yeah, he wanted he
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: wanted one on one. All right, what do we got
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: going on Emerald City Spectrum dot com. If you're a
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Seahawks fan or if you're a fan of any of
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: the teams locally, Mariners included, Well, Emerald Spectrum.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: Dot Comney play, We've got plenty of Mariners coverage. It's
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: just depending on what you're looking for. As far as
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: our guys aren't gonna sugarcoat things, which it shouldn't be sugarcoated.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 6: But I just posted a new article on Neami Pritchett,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 6: who seems to be the front runner, right now for
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 6: that number three cornerback spot and uh, he's battle tested himself.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: Soon Joe Pritchett and then and then Dansby.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 6: I think Dansby right now would be it's either him
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 6: or ig Banogany. But I think Dansby has made up ground.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: There Begononomy has been like he's had a nice camp.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 4: He has.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: I just don't I think Pritchett the familiarity with the
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 6: defense and stuff he's been he's been getting the vast
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 6: majority of those three.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: And could they get Iggy through to a practice squad,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they could.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 6: Maybe maybe the issue there is like, does does dan
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 6: Quinn try to go back and get him? Because dan
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: Quinn loves him, so that's true. I don't know though
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 6: veterans Veterans like that can be a little easier.
• 1:36:31

• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: Now back to in for Now at the Virginia Mason
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: Athletics Center and our special coverage of Seahawks training camp,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: brought to you by the Boeing Class on Sports Radio
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: ninety three point three kJ R FM.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 14: The thing that stuck out to me yesterday I kept
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 14: paying attention to you actually shine great light on today
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 14: was I couldn't help noticing that Mike McDonald's office just
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 14: was it. It didn't stick out to me. Is really
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 14: as nice as I thought it would be. It's decent
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 14: size and all that, but he just I was like, Okay,
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 14: it's kind of messy, which I was surprised about. But
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 14: the big thing was that Schneider had that office. He
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 14: had the bigger, nice office. Now Schneider has a McDonald
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 14: has a small office. So just kind of shows the
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 14: ranking of things.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, it does, packing order, packing order. That's why Homeroom
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 2: was pissed. I think when Russell tried to steal the
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: big office when they first got here. Something I brought
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: up a few times over the years to like which
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: much is chagrant?
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 16: Next as Dan Wilson here, you know, us guys fought
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 16: hard last night, tough break, you know, you know, put
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 16: in the new reliever.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 3: He loves pitching this park. You know, he fought hard
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: last time he was here.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 16: He gave up a grand Slam to Geno and did
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 16: just that last night, giving up bunch of runs. You know,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 16: you know, you know, so he's gonna continue to fight
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 16: hard and we'll put the new guys in. You know,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 16: Taylor Ward, tough break there, he's gonna get on base.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 16: Struck out last night.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 10: You know, you know, an.
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 16: Analytics tells me my analytics are going to be analytical,
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 16: and analytics on when I put in the analytics, you.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 5: Know, you know, so we'll keep fighting.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start a real quick text here, Yeah, okay
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: from James, I'm done with the dwe Dan Wilson experience. Yeah,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: after this week in all the fifty years of mediocre baseball,
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: on Monday to tenth, Jerry will relieve Wilson's manager will
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: do his name act as the intro manager will happen
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: after the big weekend mediocre you know, no, it won't.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: No, it won't. It won't.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: By the way, if they make a managerial change danill
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: step down at the end of the year, it won't
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 2: be him getting fired.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sucks that it has to be that way,
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 5: but it's probably true.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 7: Yea.
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 5: By the way, I didn't even realize. Thank you Dan
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 5: Wilson for letting us know. But it was Sir Anthony
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 5: Dimingez that gave up the grand slanted Gino Suarez against
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 5: the Blue Jays in Game five.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 2: Guess it was.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 5: Hilarious, Yes, it was.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: They were so impressed by that they brought him here.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: Like, seriously, think about that for a second. I think
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: Chris brought that up the other day maybe, but yeah,
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: I remember hearing that, Like really.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 5: And how did the bases get loaded in a couple
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 5: of walks.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 4: Command issues?
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 7: That's weird?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's weird.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 13: Next ay, and to press the al sports guy here, Well,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 13: the Mariners put up as many runs as I've had
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 13: dates in the last year zero. They brought in some
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 13: guy named Ward. He didn't do much, kind of like
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 13: the old Washington State quarterback.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: I know he was your favorite running around Chas and Sacks.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: I might saff myself.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 13: Next time the Mariners are on, I need to go
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 13: right on line by Can screams Bird's name.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 2: We see we can make fun of that podcast because
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: it doesn't exist anymore.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: Correct because they are no longer together.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 4: No Soup put her on waivers.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: For the purpose of giving her her unconditional release.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 4: Thanks for coming. We have one more. Yep.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 15: All right, Hey, Andrew's a good job on the postcast
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 15: last night. That was a rough listen. You were definitely
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 15: down to the dumps and you were all in your
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 15: fields and it was awesome to listen to you. Even
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 15: the ad reading was crazy. You were so down to
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 15: the dumps you weren't even feeling those ads and it
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 15: could tell. But good for you, man, true professionals. Yeah,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 15: Mariners from not last year's team. They are just garbage.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 15: Give me Alex and Joey Korra to save us.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 4: There we go, There we go.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: You were down to the dumps last night?
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, I was very unfiltered. I usually and keep
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 5: it pretty structured and like, okay, let's talk about the game.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 5: But I was just reacting to the most annoying thing
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 5: about last night was how much everyone was glazing, Like
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 5: all this feels like a rejuvenated clubhouse.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: They're ready to go, you know, and it's yeah, it just.
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 5: Did No, No, what has changed?
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 4: Nothing?
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we got some text fourne if I
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: want to go with Dodge text line.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: Four two five.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: After watching Hard Knocks, wouldn't be shocked if even Worry
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: is out for at least the first half of the season.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: The way he's acting and the things McDonald said made
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: it seem like even or he won't see the field
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 2: for a while.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I didn't like that.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 2: I thought thought that was it didn't feel real positive.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: But like I said, he's not on the scooter anymore.
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: He's walking around here no more scooter. Scooter's gone. Scooters
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: scooter's gone.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, uh, let's see, did it?
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I made the mistake of saying nice things about
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: our city. So I'm not going to read all the
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: ones without people taking a dump on the sidewalk, because
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: there's many of those right now. Careful, Andrews, we were
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 2: ready to run through a wall before the first pitch
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: of the mirrors. This season, expectations could be a beach.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's true. Uh, maybe not as much true.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 5: Baseball season is always a little bit different. It's like
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 5: kind of the dawn of the New Days sort of thing.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 5: It's less of a I want to run through a law.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: I'm so hyped for them to watch this team, but
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 5: I was more comparing it to last year Seahawk team,
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 5: who again won the Super Bowl.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Right, won the Super Bowl.
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it just maybe I'm completely alone on this,
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 5: but it took me a while to really kind of
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 5: buy in and be like full on Seahawk mode in
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 5: my head with that team last year and this year,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 5: like Hard Knocks has helped me get to that point instantly.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 5: And I'm ready to go, and I'm gonna be bought
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 5: up for the entire season.
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: Four two five, Rick Myyron, Stan Gelbon, and Kelly Stoffer's
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: name is on that wall. Take those ones down. Yes
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: they are, but so as Jamal Adams. I go through
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 2: the list of guys on there. It's just a tradition.
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: Right Sam Howell, Right Sam Howel? Oh God, we're gonna
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: see him a week from Saturday. Yeah, he's the third
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: string quarterback for the Mighty Dallas Cowboys. They'll play because
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: it's they're not playing their starters. High from Natalie Hi
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: Natalley loved cut pointing something out to McDonald that he
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: hadn't thought of, and McDonald's cool reaction to it. Yeah,
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: I thought that was one of the things.
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 5: About awesome and Mike McDonald's like, damn, a player just
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: showed me that, Like, that's awesome.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway is how much they need a square
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 2: jar in that running back room. To Domas Hamick, the
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: running backs coach.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 5: Was on one line, can he coach the Mariners?
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: Uh no, no, not no, no, no, let's see uh
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: h and hard knocks lots of f bump. I'm sure
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 2: some parents had some white eyes when they sat down
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: to watch it with their kids. Well, they do say
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: at the start mature language and immature themes. So that's
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: that's a that's a you as a parent problem.
• 1:43:43

  Speaker 5: that's my personal choice.

  Speaker 2: my son and I were sitting there and we're like,
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: we gotta start talking about some fantasy fantasy, and he
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: was like he was doing a fantasy He already knows
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: his draft order, so he's doing fantasy mock draft.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 5: Just like consistently, he kept going back and back and back.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: Well, he's got the fifth pick, so he's like, well,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do here.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 5: That is kind of a weird one because like top
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 5: three or four is like you feel pretty good about
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 5: someone there, and it kind of drops.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: Off after that, and it depends on your league.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, how you score true?
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 2: Right, like super flex league, you're probably gona take a quarterback.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: If it's not a super flex league, then well nothing
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 2: asks fund. He's once he's got weird rules, some weird rules.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: I should probably follow them one time. So I won't

• 1:47:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 4: I got softy, kind of a softy Twitter rat last well.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 4: I watched Hard Knocks on my iPad sitting in bed
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: Oh do you watched it at nine?
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 4: I watched it later on. I watched it on demand.
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 10: Okay, right, So I was watching the Mariner game and
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 10: I figured, when this thing's overall, watch Knocks. Hard Knocks
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 10: was awesome.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 4: It was really really cool.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 10: A lot of goofy fun stuff in there, a lot
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 10: of serious stuff in there, from Brady Russell and Derek
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 10: Hall getting into a fight because Brady Russell's accusing Derek
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 10: Hall and getting a big head with his new contract
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 10: not the same guy, and then Darnold fumbling.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 4: His ring in the open by the way, at the ceremony.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 4: That was great, you know.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 10: The stuff with Cooper Cup and MacDonald and Emon Warre
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 10: and McDonald was awesome. So we'll talk to you about that.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 10: He's in Dick today. And then I flipped on the
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 10: Mariner game and just found myself enraged. Absolutely. What makes
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 10: you the most like Matt? Like total waste of talent
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 10: in a situation where they should be running away with
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 10: a playoff spot. I mean that's exactly it. Your four
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 10: games under five hundred and the worst division in baseball.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 10: We brought this up earlier, right, I put a lot more.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 10: I think we all feel like a manager will change,
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 10: would be fine. I still put a lot more on
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 10: the player.
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 4: I do too.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 10: I just well, is it Dan Wilson's fault that Josh
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 10: Naylor has not hit a home run in two months?
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, he's got twenty five, so what I don't care?
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 7: I love?
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 10: Is it Dan Wilson's fault that Julio Rodriguez since the
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 10: first of June has a six fifty two OPS and
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 10: he's got four home runs in his last one hundred
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 10: and eighty three played appearances. I mean, Julio is in
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 10: what is this year, five, year, six, now? Whatever it
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 10: is for him? I mean yeah, I mean he's a veteran.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 10: He's on pace for sixty seven ribbies. Did you know
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 10: the Mariners projected RBI leader? Do you guys know who
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 10: that is?
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 4: Right now? Canzone was seventy two.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 10: The last time they had a guy with a lower
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 10: number was Miguela Levo in twenty eleven was sixty two
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 10: if and that team lost ninety five games. If that's
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 10: what this team is going to.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 4: Be compared to.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 2: If I would have told you the start of the year, yeah,
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 2: Cole Young is going to lead the teams in RII.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 4: I would have thought he'd have one hundred and twenty
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 4: or or or.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 2: Or I miss the playoffs by like ten games.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 10: If you told me Cole Young is your RBI leader,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 10: I'm thinking Cole Young is an MVP se gold Glove.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 4: I'll start at second base.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: I'd go differently. I'd say, you kid Young, jerrv Elider,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, man, you probably misplayshed like ten games. I
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: don't know, man, So Julia what what's his number?
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 10: Six fifty two ops since the first June, he's on
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 10: pace for sixty seven ribby He's got four home runs
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 10: his last one hundred and eighty three played appearances. I'm
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 10: not even gonna do cal because you know that cow's
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 10: a lost cause. Josh Nayler's last home run is two
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 10: months ago next Wednesday. That's the longest stretch of his career.
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 10: He's never gone a calendar month, by the way, until
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 10: now without hitting a home run never and that was
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 10: in the month of July, that for the very first time.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and he's only got Augustin.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: So you guys said, is it Dan Wilson's fault? I
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 5: don't think it's Dan Wilson's fault that those things are happening.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 5: But do you think a managerial change would maybe spark
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 5: that one of those at least want.
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 4: To hire the right guy? Yeah?
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you hire the right guy. It wouldn't hurt hire
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 10: a guy personality. I just don't know what kind of
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 10: person they're looking for in the dugout right. I mean,
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 10: do they want somebody who's going to subscribe to every
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 10: theory they've got with their you know, analytics and their uh,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 10: you know, button pushing geeks they have up in the
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 10: front office, or do they want to do they want
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 10: an old school, in your face, spit in your eye,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 10: grab your neck kind of guy. And does that guy
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 10: want to work with Jerry Depoto? Does that guy want
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 10: to work with this kind of front office? I mean,
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 10: there's been a lot of guys like that that have
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 10: become that have come available in the last couple of years.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 10: And you know, I mean the Mariners decided to forego
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 10: the entire managerial search process and just hired Dan Wilson.
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 4: And I thought it was unfair to him, it was
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 4: unfair to everybody.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 2: Just got a text saw check out Juil's exit filo.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 2: He's one of the best in the league phenomenon.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 10: So his flyouts get to the left fielder's glove faster,
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 10: what you're talking about, Yes, they do.
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 4: My God, give me a break.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 10: I mean, Kyle Rowley's been hitting the ball hard for
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 10: a month now, foul, let's go, foul, let's go.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 4: Come on, guys.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 10: So yeah, it's uh, it's it's I mean, look, I
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 10: don't use the word embarrassing a lot, but it's embarrassing
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 10: for this team to have this kind of talent and
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 10: be in the position that they're in right now, in
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 10: a terrible division, and be fighting and scratching and clawing
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 10: their way to you know, three out now right because
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 10: the Astros lost today, but the Rangers are a game
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 10: and a half out as well, so they got to
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 10: jump them. There really is only two pass to the
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 10: playoffs now, which the last wildcard or the division.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 4: That's it. And you got six teams, dude, The two
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 4: teams in front of you.
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 10: Anders and the Inn in the wildcard race have waived
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 10: the white flags.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 5: In Baltimore and Detroit and they still have better records
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 5: than you.
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 4: What the hell are we doing sitting behind them? They
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 4: quick up?
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, did you enjoy Sir Lancelot last night making
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 2: his whatever his name is, Sir Anthony Anthony.
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 10: Sir Anthony Dominguez. Yeah, you know what, I would say,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 10: The game was over at four nothing. It was just
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 10: barf it all up now, right, just get it out,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 10: get out the hair ball. And I expect him not
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 10: to be great in the rest of the season, but
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 10: if you're gonna have a game like that, you may
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 10: as well do it when it's for nothing.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 4: All right, what are you doing to? That's my opinion.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 10: Humillan's coming up on this show. A. J. Barner will
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 10: join us on the radio show after practice today. Petros
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 10: will be with us. I think we're gonna move Petros
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 10: to six pm to make room for ag because you
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 10: never know what time practice, and so I'll be probably
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 10: six pm.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 4: And then Larry Stone. Great day to have him on.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 10: He's gonna come on and just talk about what the
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 10: hell is going on down there at t mobile park man,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 10: so lots of mariner chatter, lots of hard knocks chatter.

• 1:52:53
  Speaker 4: up at three ship.
