• 1:48
  Speaker 4: How are you, my friend? I'm doing very well.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: And locker clean out days are one of the moments
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: where you can get a fair amount of honesty about
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: things that went wrong in a season and what they
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: hope to change in the off season. It's actually a
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: pretty good reporting reporting day.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It is it is, and that's the guys I request.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I think Brandon Montour is going to join us here
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: coming up at one twenty today, and he's a guy
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that I know is always honest, So we'll see what
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: he has to say. Two things before I get to well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'll go to the fun stuff at
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the end. We'll say the fun stuff for the end,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: because I think you and I deserve a pet on
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the back for the for at least for four of
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the Marina games this week, not the last three necessarily,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: but the first the first four since we last woke.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a heartbeat. Listen. I've always
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: loved your writing, and whether you agree or disagree with
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: a column an opinion piece, it's it's that's what they're
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: there for. But I thought you nailed it today with
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: what you said about yesterday with Angie and the AI nonsense.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It was posted by some clown and then reposted originally
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: by barstool. I'll let you take it from there. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it's not often. You're not a guy that gets quote
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: pissed off all the time or even often, but that
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: one got you, didn't it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: It was aggravating.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: And some of that is because, I mean, I went
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I was at the University of Washington when.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Angie was a softball player there.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I worked at the udeb Daily when she was kind
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: of leading that program, which has continued to be a
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: heavyweight program, and this driving right now she was part
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: of building that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: I know how hard she's worked in the business.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: I appreciate how versatile she is as a broadcaster, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: on a personal level.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: I really admire her.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: I think it is I think she is as honest
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: and engaging and if someone had a negative opinion about Angie,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: I think my reaction would be I would have questions about.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: That person and to watch.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: And I think most people now know she kind of
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: got put through the ringer yesterday on Twitter.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: And Twitter's not real life, but it is.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: It is a real thing for people who work in
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: the business, and she became a punchline because somebody took
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: a video of her without her knowledge, entering a prompt
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: into her.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: Phone about questions to ask.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: And first of all, I don't think there's anything wrong
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: with that at all. I don't think the activity that
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: was captured reflects poorly on her at all.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: And to then watch that.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Become this big dog pile on the internet, it did.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: It really pissed me off because I don't think it's fair.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: And then the second part is you're talking about a
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: person who is coming back to work after having suffered
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: a stroke in late February.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: It's yeah, I'm still pissed.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one of the things that there's so
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: many elements to this and I spent some time on
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: it yesterday on the show, and I kind of I mean,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: as the more I talked about the matter I got
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: on the air, you know how that works. And I've like,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you had great respect for Angie. You know, I mentioned,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you know when I first got to town in two
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: thousand and six, she was one of those people in
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the media. John Clayton was another uh that that embraced me,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: that welcomed me here. Hey, welcome to Seattle, Like New
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: guy k Jars. I'll be honest with your new guy
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: k jar With the lineup we had then with I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: mean the two Legends in the afternoon, specifically with Grass
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and Gas, Softy Mitch, the whole nine yards. That was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like I'm coming into a hornet's nest, like that's those
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: are big shoes to step into it. She was great
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to me for up to start, and so is JC.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: The you know, battling breast cancer, beating that, the strokes
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and coming back from that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: You know, like I don't I don't care about it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: The AI thing I my opinions are, I think as
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a reporter, I don't know if you need that, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that's just me. I don't think I use it. But frankly,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: as Andrews can tell you, I don't know how to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: use it. So that's probably why I mean so, so
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that's probably that's probably my thing. The the and you can,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and I said this yesterday, if you don't like her
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: as an analyst in the booth, or you don't like
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: her as a broadcaster, or and she's not your style,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that's fine because it's a subject active business we live in.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: But taking a video of someone over their shoulder of
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: what's on their phone without their knowledge or consent anywhere,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: much less a public figure, and then portraying it is
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: something that it wasn't. That was portrayed as being that
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: day when the marriage had that brutal loss, and it
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: was actually from T mobile earlier in the season. Everything
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: about it is greasy and disgusting. And I just and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and that's what really got to me. And I just
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: she handled it well, you know, I know, like you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: just talking to Softy, you know, he talked to her
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: yesterday and she just wants to you know, she he
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: wanted to put the guy on blast, and soft he's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: got it, and you know he's.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Able to do that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and she's a bigger person that she said, no,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I'm good, we'll move on, which is all. I'm bummed
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: out about that because I wanted, I want full blown
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Softy against Oregon Duck fan on that guy, because that
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: would have I'm gonna tell you right now that that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: person would have gone away and we would have never
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: seen him again. But it didn't happen because she's, you
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: know what, she's better than most of us, I guess.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Danny, I think there is like she did handle it right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: and look, I do, well, this is funny. I signed
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: up for AI for the first time yesterday before any
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: of this happened. I registered my account on Anthropic I
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: started kind of messing around with a quad bot, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I'm convinced people don't really know what AI is. Look,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: here's what my opinion is. Very simple. I don't think
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: reporter or a broadcaster should use it to generate work products,
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: meaning their scripts, their stories, those sort of things.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: I think it could be a great brainstorming tool. I
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: think it can be great to use research.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: You have to understand that it's going to make mistakes
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: and if you ever count on it to do one
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: hundred percent of your work, you're going to.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Get pants because it does.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: But it can absolutely show patterns or suggest frameworks that
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: are helpful.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: So I don't look there. There is a fair and
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: reasonable discussion to.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Be had about how AI can be used responsibly by
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: people in the media. And just like you said, you
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: can have different opinions about a broadcaster the part, and
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: this just reflects in some In some ways, how I
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: believe the Internet has made us meaner as a society
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: is that you have people who they are doing what
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: they can to maximize the pain that others experience who
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: they don't like, And that's that's crappy. I've never tried
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: to get anybody like even co workers that I've had
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: that I have not liked, which there have been some
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: on occasion, so tough to work with.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: The only problem with Condoda is he does the job
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: of like three people.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Like if you're on the same staff with Condoona, you
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: look lazy no matter what you do, because that guy,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: that guy works so freaking hard. But the idea that
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: you try to get somebody in trouble or I'm going
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: to wait until there's particularly dispiriting law so I can
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: post this video and make it look like it just
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: happened like that is it's a loser behavior.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: It is absolutely massive behavior.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yes it is. Yeah, I agree with you, and I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: just that's and we also and you know, people say,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and I'll freely admit this in the public eye if
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: any of any level. I'm not We're not any kind
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: of big deal anything. But listen on the radio, uh TV,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: like you sign up for that, Like you sign up
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: for that, You're gonna sign up for Christism. You don't
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: sign up for someone looking over you shoulder and see
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: what's on your phone. You don't sign up for that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And yeah, the the chat GBT or whatever it is
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: to generate questions and scripts. I mean, I mentioned yesterday
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I just had something. I had a script I had
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to read for commercial a couple of weeks ago, and
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I snapped because I kept reading this thing. Who wrote this?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Did they read it?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: You know? Like find out it was?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It was generated by you know, an ad agency who
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a client was paying for. I called the client said,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: you're you're wasting your money. Give me bullepoints. I'll do
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: it for free, Like this is ridiculous. So yeah, I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: mean that that happens along the way. Uh it Interviewing
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: players after losses is hard. I don't think they really
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: do it though. With that was the other erroneous part,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Like the Mariners don't do that after a game. They
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: don't do walk off interviews after some after a loss,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: like that's not what happens. They just get the stuff
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: at the podium and away you go. Now, my friend
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Piper Shaw does it after every cracking game. And we
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: have a player on the Khan on the Krack and
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Hockey Network and it ain't fun and she does a
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: great job with it. I did it for sixteen years
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the Seahawks on Fox thirteen. I prayed they'd win games
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: because nothing was more fun or less fun than interviewing
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Michael Bennett or Justin Britt after a loss. Didn't like
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: that at all. Not fun. I can't even imagine if
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I did a chat GBT form Michael Bennett interview that
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: would have been something.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: I've watched Michael Bennett chase a number of reporters out
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: in lockwos.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: After a while, and I lucked out. I never had
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: that happen. The one time I interviewed him five minutes
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: after that happened, which I didn't even know what happened.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: And then I finally talked to Bennett, I go, yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: he almost killed so and so, And I'm like what,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that, Like.
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: I'm but I didn't know that.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Afterwards, and I asked to say, Danny, that's the same
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: damn question a question, So maybe he lost all his energy?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: All right, Hey, before I let you go, do we
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: take credit for the baseball team or not?
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: Huh?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Because if people were listening today our show last week,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what happened?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: What do we say?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Danny well, you're being very generous to include me here
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: because you made the point that, hey, a broken bat
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: might be an omen here, like stranger things have said
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: off offensive tides. And then I agreed, and that we
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: decided that the broken bat on the Chiro unveiling would
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: be just what the doctor ordered for the lineup. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: you know what they did that night if they went out,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: scored nine runs, the most they had in any game
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: all year, and they bludgeoned. They turned the Houston Astros
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: into a piata.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: For four days.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Danny, don't think for a second, I wasn't sitting at
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: home that night smiling to myself. Huh, don't think for
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: a second. I wasn't.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I would never encourage vandalism, So I don't think anyone
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: should go break any bats off of statue.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: No.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: No, Perhaps could be some sort of some sort of
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: adjustment made to improve our bullpen outage after after Wednesday
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: night's meltdown.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You know who loves suggestions is Kevin Martinez. He he
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: loves suggestions, especially from us in the media, especially for
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: me and the station. My suggestions, Dandy, tell me, if
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: you can dance with this one, take the bath each
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: ro bat and make it like a breakaway bat right
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: kind of like like just like like like so if
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: if needed before a series, someone could go out there
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and break it in half and then if things will
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: get going and then you put it back together afterwards.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It's making a breakaway, you know, like kind of like
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: like you have like the runaway thing for the trucks
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: on the highway or something you need like in case
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of glass breaking, making a breakaway back Kevin. There you go,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: free free for Kevin Martinez from this particular segment. Danny,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: you like that?
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do. You could include it with the roof report.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Is the roof report? Open it?
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Where's each row's bat?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Three o'clock?
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: It is at three o'clock for this game, full steam ahead.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I hope he's listening right now. I'll be getting a
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: text in a second. You can't wait. Uh tell us
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: about the Dang Apostrophe, sir.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: The Dang Apostrophe is a newsletter that is produced here
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: in New York City, but it's sent straight to your mailbox.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: You go to Danny O'Neil dot com. You enter your
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: email address, and then you might hear about how my
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: recent protocol for I don't watch the ninth inning when
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: the Mariners are ahead because it's past midnight here, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I realize that only something bad will happen and that
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: it will.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: Make it harder for sleep and in this week.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Then I realized the problem with that plan is if
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: they do end up losing, I will then force myself
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: to watch that entire inning knowing that they've lost, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: get progressively angry. It's actually a much worse doing experience

• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to ask you about. We always appreciate, I know, like
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: just having you on with on the Crack and Hockey
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Network on TV and when Piper talked to you know,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: other there's your honesty and openness about what's going on,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Like fans appreciate that. I'll just start like the season
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: as a whole, not what you guys wanted. Obviously, nobody
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: the teams that aren't playing starting tomorrow, nobody's happy. So
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: how would you describe the season?
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's again, I'm sure everybody's heard it from each
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: other's teams, but disappointing, you know, disappointing because this is
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: obviously for personally, I guess this is my second year
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: and the second year you know, ending middle of April
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: par the organization.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: This is what years in a row.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's you know, I I signed up here
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: wanting and knowing and trying and believing that. You know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: we're pushing for playoffs each and every year, and we're
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: two years out and we're messing out again. So it's
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: it's not fun. You know, obviously a long season, but yeah,
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: it's it's disappointing. How you know we're sitting here right now.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: The there's a lot of things to point to, uh,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: and reasons for that along the way. Uh, what can
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you put your finger on anything that happened after the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Olympic break, You're sitting in third place in the Pacific
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and from that point on, just seven wins the rest
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: of the way. And I mean the momentum you had
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: going in is probably you guys are by the last
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: team that wanted to have a break. Yeah, win those
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: two games in Vegas and l A and then something
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: something didn't click in the second half or the the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: final third. I guess it would have been.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's frustrating just because you know, you can look
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: back at the whole season that can consistency. I've said
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: it numerous times, a lot of highs and lows. We
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: go on streaks, we we're losing. You know, it was
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: that one month we went I don't even know one
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: or two wins and then we come back and win eight, nine,
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: ten in a row. And you know, so the recipe
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: was there for our group, the structure that we had.
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: We just couldn't maintain that, you know, that success. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: I don't know what it was it was. You know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: you come into a long break excited. Obviously we're in
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: a position that we wanted to be in, fighting for,
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: you know, a playoff spot. We come out of break
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: and things changed. You know, we couldn't find that rhythm again.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: I would say in the group or to the group
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: and in the locker room that this is when the
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: true you know teams and you just got to continue
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: to get better as a group and you're gonna everyone's
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: best hockey. It was a challenging schedule, but we should
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: have thrived and we should have been excited about those challenges,
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: especially where we put ourselves, and we lost another opportunity.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Brenda, do you think there was a three coaches in
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: three years for some of these guys? For you, it's
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: two and two and that's part of the business that happens, right. Yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Lane's far different than Dan Bielsman was for other guys
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: for a hack and so forth. But outside looking in
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: him thinking well, I mean, I think Lane did a
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: nice job for a good chuck of the season, guys, structures,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: all those things that we looked at. But do you
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: think there was a complete buy in for all twenty
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: plus guys and what Lane wanted to do?
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: Again, we could sit here and you know, talk about
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: there wasn't just because where we're at, but I think
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: guys understood it was just the mental mistakes and you know,
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: whether we bought it or not, Lane did a good
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: job all year trying to figure out a structure, found
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: a recipe that you know, this group was good at
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: and we just saw glimpses of it even when we
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: were still in the mix. We were you know, we
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: were in a division that we had an opportunity to
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: either be the first place and win the Pacific. I
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: mean maybe not down to Vancouver. They were a little lower,
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: but that close to the bottom too, So it was
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: so tight in Lane structure, Lane the way he preached. Yeah,
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: it just mental mistakes.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: That's again the end of the years where the good
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: teams find ways to continue to get better, you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: And unfortunately for our group kind of got behind the
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: April and it just continued to spiral, and there were
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: mixes there where you know, you look at that road trip,
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: that long one at the end where we ended in Florida, Tampa, Buffalo,
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: you thought maybe there was you know, we're coming back
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: in there team, especially after a a struggle for a
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: bit there and then I don't even know what the
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: points there. We might have been two, three points out
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: at that point, maybe not even that. I don't even know, yep,
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: and then it continued again. You know, so the mental
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: mistakes kind of bid us and again I can't really
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: point to one thing, but yeah, we disappointing.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: BT them on tour with me. Uh, the word culture
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: sewn out all the time. Lane uses that word a lot.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: There's other I don't know, if you saw the Rick
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Bonus interview the other day, Yeah, like just talking about
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: we're going to establish this, this and this if I'm back,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: and I don't know, there are probably some guys in
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Columbus happy something aren't that he is back? He's coming back?
• 20:41
  Speaker 9: Uh?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: You know. Tom McClellan kind of snapped a little bit
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the other day Detroit's coach about culture here, culture all
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the time this year? Can that be a springboard what
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Lane's trying to establish? What guys like you were, you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: leaders that are trying to establish. Is that culture being established?
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Is it established? And I don't know, can you define culture?
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: I mean every team is different, you know, individuals are different.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: Lane has that playoff mentality. We got to play that
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: playoff style. That's that's what we got to win those
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: two to one. We spoke earlier to two one three
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: two games each and every night you gotta play hard.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Obviously those coaches that you know were disappointed at the end.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Obviously their teams didn't show up, you know, the way
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: that they were they thought or the capable. And I
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: don't think you know, Lane understood our group wasn't gonna
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: you know, we we had that build of regardless of
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: the score, we weren't going to give up. Disappointing for sure,
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: but like even that Bone said like three hits, twenty
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: something turnovers, like we're trying it, just some for some way,
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: some reason, it didn't work, you know, And.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: That's why I bring it up, like, you guys weren't
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: that team. But you I think what he's saying, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I think that's like a lot of fans, even us
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: in the media, like hear culture all the time, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: like everyone talks about every sport talks about it. Yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Mike McDonald talks about the Seahawks. Will hear him Monday,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I'll talk about we want to bring guys in the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: draft that build into the culture. I think what you
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I think you did define it though with Lane it's
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: kind of, hey, we're gonna win hard games, yeah, close games,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: but then we have to play and he talked about
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: this a lot sixty minutes every game. That's what it is,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and that's how our group is built, you know. And
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: if that's how our.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: Group's built, that's the way it has to be, you know.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: And we showed a glimpse of that this season.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Just not enough.
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: And that's you know, again, you can't fault the guys
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: for not trying. The effort you know was was there.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: It's just I think the mentality of knowing that we
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: are in a position and an opportunity to make, you know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: a better season, and we couldn't figure that out. And
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: I don't really have an explanation, you know. I mean
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: for me personally being a leader, trying to be vocal
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: and sharing my experiences and trying to help and try
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: to push on the ice, you know, competing and battling.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't know if there's not many people
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: like I hate losing and have an organization that you
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: come to and long term and your goal is to
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: help them reach the playoffs and have success and failing
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: two years now, you know, I put a lot of
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: you know, pride and frustration in myself to you know, again,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: I failed, and we haven't reached where we wanted to
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: reach the last two years.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Manti. The when we look at at a bigger picture,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: we'll pull out from the season, just the bigger picture.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Because you brought it up that you came here, uh,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: and you had a choice where to go. Yeah, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I you know, whether you want to comment or not,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I think Toronto was in the mix. A lot of
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: teams were in the mix. Like you had, you had
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a nice market as a free agent, and you chose
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: this place. And I don't know how much I believe
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: with national media and especially national Canadian media, like oh,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: nobody wants to go to Seattle, or Seattle is a
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: hard team to go to, or what have you. I mean,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: we're sitting in this place. I know what the facilities
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: look like downstairs. I know how how they run things here,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the arena, the practice arene all those things that come
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: into play, Like we don't have the best weather in
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the world, but neither does a lot of cities in
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the nation. Definitely not the worst, yeah, definitely, not not
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: even close. So how how how can this How do
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: you sell this market to other players? And I guess
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: one thing I've really never heard of. What do you
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: hear from other players about Seattle. If all things being equal,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: would you would players come here or is there something
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: keeping free agents that they're going to try to attract
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: this summer from coming here.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: Again, like you said, I can't pinpoint one from my experience.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: You know, Seattle was a team that again you know,
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: you look what two years ago now where the position
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: I was in, just as a hockey fan, knowing the
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: hockey fan base, the excitement of the city of Seattle,
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: kind of just to the media, seeing how loud the
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: buildings were. You know, I didn't get to play in
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Seattle too, like maybe what twice twice?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: Some friends obviously in the league that you know played playoffs,
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: you know that one playoff run that you guys had,
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: see excitement my my, I mean again, my wife it's
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: from the West coast, she's from California, so we were
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: leaning towards the West Coast regardless. You know, again, I
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: had a tough decision, but obviously good opportunities and had opportunities.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: You know, talked a lot of different teams, talk to
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: ownership here, talk to management. Obviously that's changed a little bit,
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: but same thing. They're trying to find the recipe to
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: win here. And I believe that, you know, that's important.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: I think that that's the reason why I came here.
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: You know, I believe in And again I didn't. Again,
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: for me, I didn't know too many players. I played
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: against the fu je Aden Jordan obviously some prospects. You
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: know at that point that Maddie was. I think, no,
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: that wasn't his first year, third year, third year. Yeah,
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: you know, to build around. And I didn't think once
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: about if the city was bad, if the weather was bad.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: I knew it was a brand new building. The game
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: rinks are beautiful. The practice to the facility is to
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: be like, it's got to be top five, top ten,
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: I would think, right, And again for me, it's the
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: weather's not bad. No, like I've been I've been spoiled,
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: you know, I've been in started in California, I went
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: to Buffalo, New York. I went to Florida. You know,
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: I'm on the water.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: You know, I drive.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: I see the water each and every day that you know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: the views. So that doesn't affect me. And again we
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: travel for half the season. Maybe my wife might say otherwise,
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: The kids out for a walk and it's raining.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, but no, we know you take the kids.
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: It's not snowing. We take the kids for walks most days.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: For players, I'm just putting themselves and maybe or myself
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: and their shoes. It's against you look back, there's three seasons,
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: no playoffs. You can say, is there some game change?
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: Like is there excitement? Do we have those elite elite
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: forwards that you know, maybe these other players get enticed,
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: you know, maybe not, you know, but they gotta, like myself,
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: they gotta find a way to believe. You gotta have
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: guys like you know, myself helping recruit.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: I know players are like, how was it? And I'm like, guys,
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: it's I've enjoyed it, you know, other than not, you know,
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: us talking and being out at this time, which you
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: never want to do. And that's the worst thing about it.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: I've enjoyed my time. And I don't tell anybody, you
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: know other otherwise you know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Would you are you recruiting? McMahon.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: I'm recruiting whoever wants to come here that makes this
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: team good.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I got other players, I mean.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Cause that's not tampering because you can talk to guys.
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: I could put my GM had on day. Yeah, I
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: can think I'm the best GM in the world.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: But some of us in the media think the same thing. Hey,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: that guy does that guy right there? Their own opinion.
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: But like I said, I signed up here long term.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: It's unfortunate that we're two years now.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You're invested in it.
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: I'm invested, you know, and I want to win. I've
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: had that taste, you know. I went two finals in
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: a row to two playoffs out. I've been on really
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: good teams early on. I went to Buffalo, one of
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: the worst teams, one of the best team.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: I've experienced younger groups, older groups, and I take pride
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: in myself to to figure it out here. And the
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: excitement is to see our fan base and see how
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: a lot of the buildings are or our building to
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: be able to experience winning here, you know. That's that's
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: one thing that's like, it's it's going to be sweet
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: and we're trying to figure it out.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I think that, and I think the fansier don't get
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: is enough enough credit. I mean they you know. One
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: of the bigger wins the year was the Carolina game
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: on a Monday night. Yeah, that place was electric. They
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: understood what, they understood who they were playing, They understood
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: who the crackn were playing. They understand what that game meant,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: all the like, all those things and it was just electric. Hell,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: even Calgary guys are both out of it. It was
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: a fun game last Saturday, right, like you feel that,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: you feel that energy. A couple quick things before I
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: let you go one. Young guys on this team, you've
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: been in this league long enough to see that's always
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a tough thing. Do you take that next step? Like
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: you see glimpses from Berkeley, You see glimpses when he
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: was here of Oscar Fisker, Mouleguard or you know, Coppocock
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: was still a relatively young player. I mean, maybe he
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: needs to play an international tournament every year and then
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: come back for the second half because he's a really
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: good But what what can fans Because for this team's
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: gonna take that next step? Young guys have to take
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: a next step. Can they do that? And what do
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: you see from those guys?
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: That's that's how we got to build. You know, this
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: management and the staff built from within. Obviously added some pieces,
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: but these are kids that they drafted. They believe in
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: that in order for us to to get to the
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: next level, the management believe that these are the pieces
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: that we need. They definitely all all the ones you
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: said other guys you know, Wins impressed with him.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: He's a heck of a player.
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: With mel as another guy, Each and every one of
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: these guys has to keep growing and big, big summers.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: Obviously if if we want to, you know, change this,
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: you know, come next year.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Can you be the leader you want to be without
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: a letter?
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: I mean again, can't You can't say I'm frustrated because
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: it's just a letter. Do I believe, you know personally
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: that I should have one? Absolutely, And again that's not
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: my decision to make. I knew coming in. You know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: I've shared it with you. The experience that I've had
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: from go from my young age, you know, gats Lav,
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: Perry Kessler, Boshman, Biax list goes on the players that
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: I've played with there to a younger team and experiencing
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: lows with Buffalo to being on top with the guys
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: had in Florida. I think I always had that leadership
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: and and me just what I've been on teams that
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: I've already had. You know, there are three guys not
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: necessarily having to change it. I've heard coaches and stuff
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: just you know, you don't need a letter to be
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: a leader. But I come here, you know, just expecting
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: that from myself, and and and then you know, I
• 31:23
  Speaker 8: haven't had necessarily a letter some games, you know, throughout
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: my career, but not full time. And I'd love to,
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: you know, have that. Maybe this is a group you
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: know that we need to change that. And I know
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: personally for me, I think, you know, I would love that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: But again, our leaders are are good, and no matter what,
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: if I don't have one or not, I'm going to
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: continue doing what I do well.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: I think true leadership just as an old guy sitting
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: here looking for the outside of the true leadership, you
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: don't need that necessarily. You showed it this year. I'm
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: gonna say, I'll wrap it up with this. H one
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: of the things that sports are great on so many
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: different levels and for so many different reasons. And I
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: thought one of the best because but unfortunately because some
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: of the worst of times things I saw this year.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: You gave the helmet this year to Ryan Winterton. At
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the end of the game. It was a Calgary game. Yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and WinCE had just come back after losing his brother
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: to cancer. You went through a horrible situation with your
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: brother and the worst disease it is out there called
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: als and I thought that was leadership. I also thought
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: that was a movie kind of showed what that locker
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: room can be. You have to be together and for
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: you just I'll let you wrap it up well, kind
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: of this year you experienced the lowest of lows, but
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: you had another child, the highest of highs. The emotional
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: rollercoaster you were on this year. How challenging was it
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: overall for you?
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean from the start, even personally in my
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: game obviously, you know, my first longer summer to be
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: able to train in a while. So coming in feeling good,
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: You're a healthy, healthy surgery right away, mistraining camp, my
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: family and my brother Cam who passed, They came for
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: the first two home games. So I'm like, I gotta
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: find a way to play these two for you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: I like, I can't miss them. So I remember, I
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: think I missed all of training camp and I think
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: it was the day before first game. I got out
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: on the ice and obviously lanees like, dude, like, I
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: don't know if you like, I'm like, if I can skate, Like,
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: don't worry about my condition, Like I'm good, Like I've
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: prepared myself. I'm if I can move, I'm playing, you know,
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: so I think it was the day before, two days
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: before I skated. I'm like, don't feel good, but you could.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, like we should have took a picture of
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: how my my foot looked and how many how much
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: bandage and wrap I had for the first couple of months.
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: But yeah, it's like I got to play in front
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: of them, did that. Obviously able to play, and then
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: his time was, you know there, and obviously you never
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: dream of, you know, that to happen to anyone, But
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: the way he battled to the end tough situation. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: mean I could speak about it all day and how
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: important he is to me. But seeing a young kid
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: like Wins coming up first year, excited about the season
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: and having earned his job, and he came up a
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: little bit and I enjoyed, like he's such a good kid,
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: and regardless of what was going on off the ice,
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: we were close, which I guess just sharing my experience.
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: And it's tough. I mean, he's asked questions over the
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: year with me and my experience, Again, I didn't have
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: much for him, just to you know, just be comfort him.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Again, it's it's.
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: Gonna hold on for to us for forever. His was
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: recent and I mean you could say his brother was younger,
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: but my brother was thirty four years old with two
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: kids that he left behind. Again, it's there's so much
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: more than this game, and you know what we have.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: I see wins at Ryan every single day, and so
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: like as if he's he's a brother, you know, so
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna be with him, comfort him and help him
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: out if he needs, be there for him, and with
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: the rest of my teamates as well.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: You handled it with incredible grace, class and courage, and
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: I can't fathom what you and your family went through.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: So but thank you. You're honesty all year, your leadership
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: in that room. Obviously, I'm sure all those players, especially
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: those young guys, appreciate. We appreciate your openness all season
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: as well. Hopefully you get some time to shut her down.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: You got some diapers to change. I'm a veteran at that. Yeah,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: three under three are oldest turns three years old. Wife four,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: wife is a heroes. She takes care of all of us.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It's crazy what they go through.
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: But to be able to get home and see the
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: three kids, her and the dogs every day no matter.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: The positive about ending this early is you know, you
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: get to spend more time with the family, and that's
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: what it's all about.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, the dogs and the younger the kids are. They
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: like to see every day.
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: They don't care if it's bad or good.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: They don't care. Yeah, I can tell you this. As
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: you get older, the older the kids get, sometimes they're
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: not as happy to see you. So enjoy it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: Why you can't, I said, I forgot somebody's laughing. I'm like,
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: when I uh figure out when I retire. I think
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: when they realize or tell me that I suck at hockey,
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: I'm like.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm done.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't realize that yet.
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: So we.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Should be good for a couple more years.

  Speaker 2: Daily power Player, Hope the Krack Andize wee point three
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: kid draft famers saying do the power play. You just
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: did like a fifteen minute interview with Brandon Montoor.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: It's block and clean out day. We're gonna talk NFL draft,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: by the way, coming up with Robber Rank here in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: about ten minutes time. U just real quick to wrap
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: things up. We were kind of going through. I think
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting little dynamic. We were just talking to
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Andrews and I about the draft coming up and for
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: this team to take that next step A, they've got
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: to hit on the draft issue. We have no idea
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: where the're gonna draft, somewhere between one and eight, but
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: hopefully it's in the top four or five. If that's
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: the case, and there should be in good shape and
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: the ability to get a good player. The problem is
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: you just don't know, like you don't know if you're
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: going to get a guy that's an impact player in
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the draft. It's like drafting and baseball, you know, like
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: we can we can talk all we want about Dustin
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Aclee or Jeff Clement and things like that. When you're
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: drafting young players. It's hard in baseball. And I think
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: the two hardest drafts I think you agree Andrews, the
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: two hourst drafts. Here we are six days from the
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: NFL draft. The two hourst drafts are baseball and hockey
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: because you're drafting a lot of times, you're drafting kids
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: that are eighteen, nineteen years old. Someone are still seventeen
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: when you're actually drafted them projecting. My god, yeah, but
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: you're projecting. And here's what I think a lot of
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: people never thought Schaefer would be what he turned out to. No,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: you could also be drafted and you know, I mean,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: we can debate at all we want. I mean, did
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the did the crack can get a deal with Berkeley
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Caten at eight a couple of years ago? Yeah, probably
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: just seventeen points this season, but boy, you saw flashes yep, right,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and he's ahead of some guys that were already that
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: were drafted ahead of them. Two guys haven't even played
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: the NHL yet, right, so we'll see. I don't know
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: they got they got some work to do that. Brandon
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: montou what jumped out with montur with.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: You see him with a letter? I know he kind
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: of didn't really full a big deal in hockey. He
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: is a big deal and I think big deal in
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: hawk and you're around the team every day, like he
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: is a leader in that in that room, he pers
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: a leader in that room. He deserves to be kind
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: of recognized for that. And even though you can still,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: like you said, you don't need a letter to lead,
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: I think it has another level of like juice when
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: you say something when it's coming from a guy with
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: a letter, you know what I mean?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Right? No, I agree, I agree. I thought I thought
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: he was really candid. I thought he was really candid.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: I thought he's really good, yeah, with what he had
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: to say. So but I think you know, you can
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: tell he wants a letter. I think he deserves a letter.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I think there will be an opening for a letter
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: because I think one of those guys is not back
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: next year, maybe more yep. So yeah, how he handles
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: young guys, how he treats his teammates. And I thought
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: the other thing that jumped out, I want to hear
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: about Seattle, because yes, can you attract a free agent
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: to Seattle? And he said yes.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: So I love how he's putting on the GM hat.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Let's go, come on, Brandon.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: He'll be recruiting guys. He's not going anywhere. He's got
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: no trade claw yet, one anywhere. Yeah, with that contract,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Steve Steves Stevenson should be doing the same thing. Yep,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: you know, And I think, honestly, I think he probably is.
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: No.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, two guys, All right, take a break, come back.
• 40:10

• 42:44
  Speaker 2: events of the year in all of sports. My friend,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great?
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: I let me talk. Did you mentioned that we're you know,
• 42:52
  Speaker 9: seven days away from Day two of the draft, because
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: currently that's the day of action for the Seahawks for
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: two selections that day obviously only to one selection right
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: now on the first night, first round, and then only
• 43:04
  Speaker 9: one selection there in the sixth round late on Saturdays.
• 43:09
  Speaker 9: So yeah, Friday may wind up actually being the big
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: day of action for seat fans.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Let me, let's refresh everyone's memory for just a second,
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: if we can, and just kind of handicap by day
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: how the draft looks this year, not by position, but
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: by depth and quality of talent. So Day one, Day two,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: which is rounds two and three, and then Day three,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: which are rounds four through seven, how would you characterize
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: each day in terms of depth of talent and talent
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and and just the quality and stuff that you're going
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: to see on each of those three days.
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: Well, you know me and as a teacher, I'm gonna
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: go back to that A through F kind of scale.
• 43:53
  Speaker 9: We're very much talking that D C plus kind of area.
• 43:57
  Speaker 9: When it comes to the first round of the draft,
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: those first thirty two selections, I think there's just it's
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: average to below average, you know overall. I mean, you
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: certainly have some high end talent and that's going to
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: kind of boost the grade a little bit, but otherwise
• 44:12
  Speaker 9: it kind of peters out pretty quickly. Whereas Day two rounds, second,
• 44:16
  Speaker 9: certain second and third rounds. You know, that to me
• 44:20
  Speaker 9: is where I would characterize this as more of a
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: be kind of of a grade overall. I just think
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: that there is good depth, and it's good depth. It's
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: some of the more difficult to find positions, whether that
• 44:34
  Speaker 9: be wide receiver, cornerback, edge rusher, center, offensive tackle. You know,
• 44:41
  Speaker 9: I think there's an off ball linebacker. I think that
• 44:43
  Speaker 9: there's some quality players and on day two, Day three
• 44:48
  Speaker 9: is average. See. I think that there are again there
• 44:50
  Speaker 9: is going to be some starting, starting at caliber players
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: available on Day three, but I don't think this is
• 44:56
  Speaker 9: a particularly deep draft, and it's frankly one of the
• 45:00
  Speaker 9: the reasons that I think that basically is why John
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: Scheider and the Seahawks are elected to trade two of
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: their Day three selections earlier for Rashichi.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: So let's go back day two then, is I guess
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: in a sense, is day two the day that you
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: can really find value in terms of your best bang
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: for your buck.
• 45:20
  Speaker 9: I think it is, and that's why I think that
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: there is still very much a possibility that the Sea
• 45:26
  Speaker 9: Hawks will elect to trade out of number thirty two
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: overall their Day one selection just to get more selections
• 45:32
  Speaker 9: on day two. Sure, you'd love to have some more
• 45:35
  Speaker 9: selections on day three. As we talked about, see how
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: currently only has one selection, that being a tail portion
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: of the sixth round number one hundred and eighty eight
• 45:44
  Speaker 9: overall specifically. But I think the golden zone, so to speak,
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: is throughout that day to day three. Excuse me, second
• 45:53
  Speaker 9: and third rounds both in Day two, maybe the early
• 45:56
  Speaker 9: portion of the fourth round as well. But I really
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: believe that the player is coming off the board about
• 46:02
  Speaker 9: twenty five overall is not going to be appreciably better
• 46:06
  Speaker 9: than the player that's coming off the board at say
• 46:08
  Speaker 9: sixty four overall. So I think that's what you're looking
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: to do is accumulate as many draft picks as you
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: possibly can, and in the second to third rounds, maybe
• 46:18
  Speaker 9: early porsche of the fourth round. That's where I think
• 46:20
  Speaker 9: that you aren't necessarily going to find superstars, but there
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: are very much starting caliber players and again at positions
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: of premium value in today's NFL.

• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Let me let me go through something here, and that
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: would be just position groups. And we've talked about a
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: bunch of them, the most important ones so far. And
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: I think you know, a couple of weeks ago we
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: talked about the edge rushers, and you still think that's
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: the most interesting group for Seattle. Who and why does
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: it make it that way?
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: I think the fact that that Seattle just has some
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: some still quality veterans, no doubt about it, but at
• 47:05
  Speaker 9: the same time some aging veterans, specifically with DeMarcus Lawrence
• 47:11
  Speaker 9: and eachennon Nuosu. I just think that you have some
• 47:15
  Speaker 9: concerns about them. I mean, Derek Hall is, of course
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: one of your younger players and a very good player,
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: but at the same time he is, you know, only
• 47:23
  Speaker 9: got another year remain on his contract, and so what
• 47:26
  Speaker 9: are the long term plans at that position? And this
• 47:29
  Speaker 9: is one that they give it two years, then you
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: might have an entirely different edge rushing group. And we
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: know how critical that position has been in Mike mcgogg's defense.
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: So the fact that there are so many players in
• 47:41
  Speaker 9: this classy and that I do think are going to
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: be in play for Seattle have thirty two sixty four
• 47:47
  Speaker 9: that kind of golden zone, and whether it be a
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: Cassius Howel if you want to go for a kind
• 47:52
  Speaker 9: of a speed rusher, to mean Cassius Howell from Texas
• 47:55
  Speaker 9: A and m who led the SEC in sacks this
• 47:57
  Speaker 9: past season, or our Mason to Us from Oklahoma, who
• 48:02
  Speaker 9: is probably the quickest off the ball of any of
• 48:04
  Speaker 9: the pass rushers this year other than perhaps top three
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: locked David Bailey from Texas Tech. Those to me are
• 48:11
  Speaker 9: two speed rushers to make a lot of sense. Maybe
• 48:13
  Speaker 9: Malachi Lawrence, who also has that initial burst, but he
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: doesn't bend around the edge quite as well as the
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: aforementioned cash As how and our Mason Thomas. And if
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: you want more of the big body kind of defensive ends,
• 48:29
  Speaker 9: each oer Nuo sues the Derek DeMarcus Lawrence types who
• 48:32
  Speaker 9: are more physical at the point of attack, better against
• 48:34
  Speaker 9: the run than they are in terms of the initial
• 48:37
  Speaker 9: bursts and rounding the corner and getting to the quarterback.
• 48:42
  Speaker 9: There's a lot of guys like that. TJ. Parker from
• 48:45
  Speaker 9: from Clemson is one of my favorites. Gabe Achis from
• 48:49
  Speaker 9: Illinois is another player that would make an awful lot
• 48:52
  Speaker 9: of sense to talk so much about Zion Young from Missouri.
• 48:56
  Speaker 9: So again, I think there's four or five edge rushers
• 48:59
  Speaker 9: at that spot that would make some sense for the Seahawks,
• 49:02
  Speaker 9: And frankly, if they didn't go at thirty two overall
• 49:04
  Speaker 9: or saying a slight drop down to say forty or so,
• 49:07
  Speaker 9: and who are going to wait down to number sixty
• 49:10
  Speaker 9: four one of my favorite players talked about him before.
• 49:13
  Speaker 9: Kieran Crawford from Auburn would be another one. Those are
• 49:17
  Speaker 9: a couple of players that they definitely make loss sense.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: It is a Rob rang joining us here on the
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Beacon Plumbing Hotline courtesy of Forrelli's Pizza. Forrelli's Pizza dot
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Com is the website the how many the thirty two
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: is just such an interesting thing, like what you do
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: at thirty two? And I guess my question would be,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: and we're I'm gonna ask you to get inside, you know,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: John Schneider's head, and that's a hard thing to do
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: along the way, But how likely is it that there's
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: gonna be a player at thirty two that he has
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: to take that he feels like he has to take
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: at the risk of not gaining extra picks and ending
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: in the draft with only four maybe five total. One
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: it's all said, that's.
• 50:02
  Speaker 9: A really interesting question because I do think there's a
• 50:05
  Speaker 9: possibility not so much an edge rusher, which has been
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: in a position that I've you know, kind of been
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: going the assumption that Seattle would prioritize. I think it's
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: more of the case that running back and cornerback where
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: there is a pretty steep cliff. And so if you
• 50:24
  Speaker 9: do believe that running back is the primary position of
• 50:27
  Speaker 9: concern for the Seahawks, then the generian price as we
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: talked about from Notre Dame to me, does feel like
• 50:33
  Speaker 9: there's a fairly significant drop off after him. Now, I
• 50:36
  Speaker 9: believe that the Seahawks are also very very high on
• 50:39
  Speaker 9: the Arkansas running back Mike Washington junior six one, two
• 50:43
  Speaker 9: and thirty pounds and you know, ran the four threes.
• 50:46
  Speaker 9: I mean, just a combination of size and speed that
• 50:49
  Speaker 9: I think is very much going to be intriguing to
• 50:51
  Speaker 9: John Schneider. He has prioritized backs of that type of
• 50:55
  Speaker 9: size and speed in the past. I also think of
• 50:57
  Speaker 9: Jonah Coleman, obviously, the local product from Universe see of
• 51:00
  Speaker 9: Washington make an awful lot of sense as well. Both
• 51:03
  Speaker 9: of those players, in my opinion, are going to be
• 51:05
  Speaker 9: back in that golden zone in the second round, but
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: they have some concerns about them. Jordah Coleman doesn't have
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: that breakaway speed. Mike Washington the bigger back from Arkansas.
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: It's bounced around New Mexico State. Buffalo has put the
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: ball on the ground more often than you'd like for
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: a back being drafted that high. Whereas Darian Bryce, when
• 51:26
  Speaker 9: if you just watch his tape to me, he feels
• 51:28
  Speaker 9: like a kind of the best all around running back
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: other than of course Jeremiah Love a top ten uh,
• 51:35
  Speaker 9: you know slam dunk. To me, running back differently has
• 51:39
  Speaker 9: some drop offs. I think that's the same thing. You
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: could make the argument that at cornerback there's four or
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: five corners. I think you're going to be drafted in
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: the first round here, and you know, man short delaying
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: from LSU McCoy from Tennessee, They're they're gonna wind up
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: being early off the off the board. But Colton Hood
• 51:56
  Speaker 9: from Tennessee, a player the Seahawks had had brought in
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: or an official visit. He's an interesting player that could
• 52:03
  Speaker 9: be available at number thirty two. D'Angelo pald is a
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: player we talked about a little bit. I mean, he
• 52:07
  Speaker 9: sawed off. He's only five to nine. But at the
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: same time, this is a canalty the straight line speed.
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: I mean, you know, I think if any team has
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: ever been in position to kind of just throw the
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: measurables out the window and just watch the tape, it
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: might be the defending Super Bowl champions with a defensive
• 52:23
  Speaker 9: genius and Mike McDonald's so you know, to me, he's
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: another one that makes an awful lot of sense. And
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: I would be remixxed if I don't mention Chris Johnson
• 52:31
  Speaker 9: from Santa Uno State. But in our sleeper here from
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: the West Coast, you and I have been talking about
• 52:36
  Speaker 9: since September, the secrets out Chris Johnson's I would be
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: stunned if he is available a number to the Seahawks
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: at number thirty two overall, So to me, those are
• 52:45
  Speaker 9: the five corners that I expect to go in that
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: late first round kind of area. And if once you
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: get past those guys, then you've got to Avon Terrell
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: from Clemson, who didn't run very well at it as
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: brode Ran in the four sixes. I just don't know
• 53:00
  Speaker 9: that you can invest the first round collection in them.
• 53:03
  Speaker 9: So I worry that if the Seahawks aren't want a
• 53:07
  Speaker 9: corner early, and I think that's a possibility, then you
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: probably have to stick around at number thirty two.
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: Overall.
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: Do you try and drop.
• 53:13
  Speaker 9: Down too far, then you may be looking at players
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: that are more developmental types but aren't necessarily ready to
• 53:21
  Speaker 9: play immediately if called upon.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Well, because I think you got to find depth at
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: that corner position, Rob because listen, you lose Wall and
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: that's fine. Job and Witherspoon, I think you've got to
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: get some depth. I think you've got to have and
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not you know, maybe someone who can push Job
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but I think you need depth there.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Another place. I'm curious. We haven't talked a lot about
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: safeties and and you know, tyle Cootta had a hell
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: of a year last year. And I mean, I think
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: two of the better stories, two of the more underrated
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: stories for the Seahawks the last year. So tyle Cotta's
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: emergence and development and ability to step in and play
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: at a high level. Number one and number two obviously
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: would be Drake Thomas, the linebacker who came in and
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: was a starter and was just in fact he Those
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: are two guys that when Mike McDonald was on with
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Softy and Fame last week or so, I guess Softy
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: and Hugh, I think it was he raved about those
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: two guys. But the safety positions one that's interesting. We
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: talked to Steve Palozzolo on Thursday, and Steve had a
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: great point because you know, like the safety position, every
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: team values the safety different and every team uses safety
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: is kind of different as well, very schemes specific. Sale's
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: got a safety even worry, but he's not really a safety,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: right by the true sense of the word, more like
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: a big nickel, right. So, like, are there safeties that
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: could be there in thirty two or can you get
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: a safety and find some depth there in you know,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: rounds three, four, five, six, seven.
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: Yes, I do believe that both. In fact, I think
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: in the first round I expect there to be two
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: safeties that get drafted. Caleb Downs, to opinion, is the
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: best player in this draft class. Another one of those
• 55:02
  Speaker 9: top ten slam dunks in my opinion, obviously won't be
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: available to the Seahawks. Dylan Theneman from Oregon is another
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: player that I just can't see likely being available to
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: see out number thirty two. Overall, I think that he
• 55:15
  Speaker 9: should go in the top twenty terrific football player and
• 55:18
  Speaker 9: after that. Mcmanuel McNeil Warren from Toledo is six foot three,
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: He's two hundred and ten pounds. I'm not quite as
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: high on him as a lot of people seem to be.
• 55:30
  Speaker 9: He is a little bit more of a rangy free
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: safety style rather than basically a weak side linebacker. And
• 55:37
  Speaker 9: Nick O'Conner the way that the Seahawks of course used
• 55:40
  Speaker 9: Nicky m moorey to such great effectiveness this past season.
• 55:44
  Speaker 9: You know again, McNeil Warren to me is the one
• 55:46
  Speaker 9: player at the end of the first round that might
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: make some sense. Perhaps LSU's AJ Halsey, another player that
• 55:53
  Speaker 9: the Seahawks have brought in at least reportedly for a visit.
• 55:57
  Speaker 9: Halsey would be my personal favorite for the Seahawks specifically
• 56:01
  Speaker 9: of those of those two players. He's just as a playmaker.
• 56:04
  Speaker 9: I mean, he is a guy that is a little
• 56:06
  Speaker 9: bit more willing to uh to leave his feet and
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: lunge for tackles than i'd like him to do because
• 56:14
  Speaker 9: that does really does create some missed tackle opportunities. But
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: at the same time, sometimes when he leaves his feet
• 56:21
  Speaker 9: he's forcing fumbles. He's got great instincts as far as
• 56:25
  Speaker 9: in coverage, creates a lot of interceptional opportunities for himself
• 56:29
  Speaker 9: and tips balls up for teammates. Uh So, aj Halsey
• 56:33
  Speaker 9: is a player that that I think would be a
• 56:35
  Speaker 9: nice fit. Another player to the Seahawks, again reportedly brought
• 56:38
  Speaker 9: in for a visit is trade On Stoops from Arizona,
• 56:42
  Speaker 9: and he's got a little bit of a cornerback and
• 56:44
  Speaker 9: safety flexibility, and we know versatility is something that the
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: Seahawks have prioritized, certainly Mike mcgal but even before during
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: the Pete Carroll era. So that would make a lot
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: of sense. If you're looking for kind of a you know,
• 56:58
  Speaker 9: doppel ganger here for Kobe Bryant, then Tradon Stokes from
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: Arizona would makes some sense. It's interesting because the Arizona
• 57:04
  Speaker 9: State excuse me, Arizona Wildcats, We're gonna wind up having
• 57:09
  Speaker 9: three safe, three defensive backs selected in this year's drafty
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: and that's that's never happened at Arizona. So we're gonna
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: be Tredon Stoukes in the first to second round range,
• 57:19
  Speaker 9: or Genesis Smith and Dalton Johnson probably on day three. Still,
• 57:25
  Speaker 9: all three of those check an awful lot of Seahawky boxes.
• 57:28
  Speaker 9: So I do think that the safety position is one
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: that the Seahawks are going to find some guys that
• 57:33
  Speaker 9: they like. Kamari Ramsey from USC is another one who's
• 57:36
  Speaker 9: got versatility to him, and one of my favorites, DJ
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: Payne from Kansas State. This is a four year starter,
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: two time team captain that again has great range. The
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: four to four guy, got great size, six foot three,
• 57:51
  Speaker 9: two hundred pounds. Again another player that nateson has some
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: mistackles on tape and it isn't quite as physical as
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: say aj Halsey, but the same time, I think is
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: quietly one of the more underrated players in this draft class.
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: So again I think that there's several candidates potentially in
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: the first round, but also safety is one of those positions.
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: I think that there is good depth because you're not
• 58:13
  Speaker 9: looking necessarily for a starter, perhaps somebody to push Taia Kata,
• 58:17
  Speaker 9: but not definitely a starting kind of guy, but somebody
• 58:21
  Speaker 9: who does have that type of potential to eventually be
• 58:24
  Speaker 9: a starter.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Rob rang jonais Ferrelli's pizza. I want to go back
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: to Manuel mcdeal Warren from Toledo. I'm assuming he played
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: against Wazoo in that game last year. I gotta go
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: back and watch that game because I remember their defense
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: being kind of a problem for Wazoo. I'm assuming he
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: might have been as big a problem as anything.
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: He was if I remember correctly. He had an interception
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: in that game, and a pretty spectacular one at that
• 58:47
  Speaker 9: And so again, he's one of those guys that just
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: his size, his speed, and the fact that he was
• 58:53
  Speaker 9: a ballhawk not only as an interceptor, but he I
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: believe wore seven fumbles over his college career. I just
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: I do have the reservations anytime you have safeties who
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: are six foot three and are kind of high hipped
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: when when they're when they're real tall like that, then
• 59:11
  Speaker 9: a lot of times they struggle changing direction in a flash.
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: And I just think about some of the elite route
• 59:17
  Speaker 9: runners that you see in this division in particular, I
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: do think that that could be a little bit problematic.
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: But there's no doubt that he's got a great deal
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: of upside to him, all right.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Well listen, Robin in. In seven days time will be
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: through round one and some of these questions will be answered, right,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: We'll be We'll be like, okay, well that's what happened.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: That's what happened along the way, and will be at
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: that point. But when we sit down on Friday at
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: the Virginia Mason Athletics Center, and by the way, I
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: should mention this Rob as he has been for eighteen years,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: maybe how long have you been part of our coverage?
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: It feels like it's that long. Has it been that long?
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: Eighteen years?
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: That's what I'm curious. When we get into the vMac
• 59:58
  Speaker 9: this weekend, Buddy, I'm gonna ask Dave, our buddy, Dave
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 9: Pearson about when they moved to the Virginia Mason Athletics
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 9: Center for their draft coverage, because I remember back in
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 9: Northwest College and those are the good old days, you know,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: and so we've certainly been certainly been collaborating since all
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 9: that time.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: I think the first draft, I think the first draft
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: they had at the Virginia Mason Athletics Center would have
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: been in twenty ten. No, I'm sorry, two thousand and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: nine would have been two thousand and nine, and it
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: was downstairs. Wasn't even upstairsh we're at now. So you've
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: been a part of it since at least I think
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, as well as bailing me out
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: my first year at tai KJR in two thousand and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: seven that spring when they had the seven out Remember
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: the seven hour first rounds they used to have like
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: all day on Saturday.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, that.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Was the worst ever. They've done a better job with
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: it now. So yeah, we'll sit down, we'll go through everything, Rob,
• 1:00:49

• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: It was one of his best pieces of content, better
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: than listening to his radio show sometimes.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: Huh, what'd you think, Bobby McMahon.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I kind of went in like kind of hesitant, like, Okay,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: this guy was only here for like six weeks or whatever,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: Like is he that invested into being here? It sounds
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: like he liked it here, and I think there's a
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: chance they can bring him back.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Well here's the key. He and this this guy, My
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: this perked me up a little gay, you're going he's

  Speaker 2: Kraken players.

  Speaker 7: Here.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: He doesn't have to do that.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: He could easily go do a golf trip with a
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: bunch of Toronto players. Yeah, exact where he played the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: last five years, right right, So Cal four's under contract

• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: fans reason to be happy they are fans of the

• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I can't. I can't foreshadow what you're gonna
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: hear from links I've done yet.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: I can't look that far in advance. That's good. Yeah,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of a lot of love for the Brandon
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: Montour interview though, because, uh, you know, you and I
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: talked about a little bit in Daily power Play. But
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: that dude's real. I mean it's and I think, like
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: he won't say that all flat out. He needs a letter,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: and you know he deserves to get one. But give
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: that man a letter like it's important.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh see, we talked about Danny earlier. John Percival
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: says the problem with the breakaway bats would get stolen.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: It would then wouldn't be found until the city sweeps
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: up for the World Cup. No, No, my idea is
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: it is it's a breakaway bat like it Like you
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: can either have it looking like it's their solid or
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: if you need to, like just hit the switch and
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: drop it down, look and make it look.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: Like it's broke the breakaway rim in the NBA, like.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: A breakaway rim. That's all it is. So it's it's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: always attached. It just either is if you put shack
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: energy on it, it's either a wrect or it's not
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: one or the other. Do that with you what you
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: may that lord man, oh man, let's see. Oh you

• 1:08:43
  Speaker 4: So is the reason why I haven't been invited there

  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: You can take it and take a step and there's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: great job on the fill in show today, great step forward,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday years.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: Ryan and Scott appreciate that. Ryan, thanks for listening. I'm
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: gonna get shout out to you.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: Shout out to our friend Chris Crawford the last two
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: days before. That always changes in the world of broadcasting.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: But you guys stepped up to the plate unlike Connor Joe,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: and he got the job done.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: What did you think about that platoon situation yesterday?
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: By the way, Okay, I know Rayley doesn't hit left hander, right, Yeah,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: It's better than Connor Joe.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: Well, Luke Rayley's arguably been your best hitter this year. Yeah,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: and he's the guys giving you the most power this year.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: I think I take my chances over a guy that's
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: literally a four A guy.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: He is a four A guy, right.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 7: See.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: The thing is for me, like, I don't mind actually
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: pinch hitting because Luke Brayley in his career has been
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: awful against left handed pitching. He's not proven that he
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: can hit it whatsoever. There's some guys that can. But
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: if you are going to pinch hits, there's a better
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: option than Connor Joe. There's a guy. I know this
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: is gonna sound weird, but there's a guy named Mitch
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: Garver on your bench. Yeah.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: I just didn't like it.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: I didn't like.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Anything about it.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: The problem is again this is this. We've talked about this.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: When you're a manager in baseball, yeah, you have the
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: unfortunate situation where every move you make probably affects the game.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Pitching move, pinch hitting move, all those things. Sometimes they're
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: coming from above and it's been predetermined what's going to happen. Yep,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: and so it maybe not even may not even be
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: in his move. No, right, But I didn't like I honestly,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't like it. I think I take my Luke
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Raley's seeing the ball. Well, yes, I don't, lefty, righty,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: That's fine, I get. I don't want to be the
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: dumbest guy in America.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: You're not, don't worry.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: But at some point, let's slick her around and say,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: let's let this guy like, God, I'm watching video right now.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Oh god, Dodgers are supposed to be in Colorado. Oh yeah,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: it's snowing like I thought.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: I thought they were showing.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I thought they were showing file footage from uh
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: Buffalo in a football game.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's it's dumbing. Why your mother just let
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: us cancel the game. But I don't want to be
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: this guy. But why is there a team there?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm flaming on shot. Yeah, let's do it.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: Let's do it. They've sucked forever too.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: Come on, he took a shot at our hockey team
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: last night. I pointed out. I pointed something out in
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: regards to baseball, and said, well, listen, the hockey season
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: is over. We move ahead. They're going to do some stuff,

  Speaker 2: McKinnon and Nuggets in the l Avalanche shots. I kind

• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: They'll knock off the Rockets. Those guys are pretty good.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Have I done enough damage to the show the station?
• 1:13:18

  Speaker 2: God? Does that not just that one hits? To be
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: honest with you, that one hit home for me.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it really does.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 11: Well he's fifty three, but yeah, he's basically, my age
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 11: is a year order than me. He was born in
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 11: Junus seventy two. On August Is, seventy three, and I
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 11: was telling Andrews that he was one of the best
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 11: bad ball hitters I ever saw. I remember that guy
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 11: taking balls that were a half an inch off the
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 11: ground and golfing him into you know, the outfield seats
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 11: four hundred feet for a bomb. I mean, he would
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 11: take balls, you know, six inches inside the plate and
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 11: fist them off for a home run.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: The other always felt like a Mariner killer.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 11: John, Well, it's funny that you said that, because I
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 11: thought the same thing. I looked it up, and his
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 11: numbers against the M's are not that great, no way,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 11: like a career seven thirty ops lifetime against US.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: I never I would have thought he was just a
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: guy that.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 11: Can the twenty whatever home runs. But he played two
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 11: hundred games against US. The thing about him, for people
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 11: that don't know Garrett Anderson, he played fifteen years with
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 11: the Angels, So he's like there Edgar Martinez.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 7: In a lot of ways. Right.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 11: He played longer there than Ichiro did here. Yeah, but
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 11: he was there with the with the California Angels, the
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 11: Anaheim Angels and now the La Angels.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 7: He's been through all of it.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: Man, and the World Series Champion, right correct.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 7: World Series Champ? Yep?

• 1:19:48
  Speaker 11: mean we're gonna start hearing a little bit more about that.
