Speaker 1 (00:00):
KJRFM, and each he row announcing at the age of
fifty five years old, he is making a comeback and
would like to play baseball again.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm lying.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
What he said today is he's going to be like
Tom sever and Hank Aaron and he plans to donate
his entire personal collection of memorabilia to the Hall of
Fame in Cooper's Town, New York.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I think I got his age wrong. Is he fifty two?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I think he chows the same age as me, by
the way, Really yeah, I think he's fifty. He's fifty
one to be fifty two years old later this year.
How about that we're the same age? You think he
tro walks around says, you know what, I'm the same
age as Softy.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, but I do think he could still play baseball
today and he might help the Mariners offensively.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I think there's about three or four guys on this
baseball team that eachro would be better at. By the way,
right now, at the age of fifty one years old,
Clint Kubiak, we haven't had a chance yet to replay this.
He was on the air with us on Tuesday, the
brand new offensive coordinator and asked him so let's talk
about how you ended up in Seattle, spend a year
where the Saints stops places like Minnesota, San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Why is Clint Kubiak moving from Louisiana to ranked in Washington.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah, just uh opportunity, you know, really fortunate to be
able to get to talk to Mike in the interview process,
and uh, just grateful for the opportunity to interview for
the position and obviously come into a really excellent situation
with the personnel here in Seattle, and then getting to
you know, bring some coaches that we've had some familiarity
with that have that have been so instrumental in uh
(01:29):
in us teaching this scheme. So thankful for Mike for
giving us that chance.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Well, we've heard a lot in the last year about
priorities maybe not being the line between offensive coordinator and
a head coach and complimentary football not being played. Why
are your priorities in line with coach McDonald? H?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Well, you know, here's the deal. Coach McDonald is stressed
from from the beginning. You know, the things that he's
that he's looking for and the type of the offense
that he seeks, and you know, I'm you know, I'm
excited that our brand of ball does match that We've
talked to that in the interview process, and we also
have the same agreement that you know, it's not always
(02:07):
going to be one way. You know, there's there's there's
more than one way to win a game. And and
obviously we want to be a physical, physical team that
can run the football and play action and all those things.
But then we got to be at our best in
those in those drop back passing situations. So there's a
lot that goes into it, and I definitely believe that
that coaches and I is, uh, you know, our priorities line.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, well click Kubiak is with us brand your Seahawks
offensive coordinator right here on ninety three to three kJ
r FM. I want to backtrack for a second because
I've noticed, now this is your fifth stop in the
last five years, right Minnesota, Denver, the Niners, the Saints,
and now Seattle. Is there a part of you that
would like to maybe stick around somewhere for a while
and stop moving for ones I yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
No, absolutely, that's what that's what's so appealing about this opportunity.
And uh, the number one one you do that is
you produce and you win. And that's the job right
now is our coaches myself to get on the same
page so that we can communicate that vision our players
and go be successful. So, uh, you know, the stability
takes care of itself when you're successful.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
You had the system, you learned it from your dad,
you learned it from Shanahan. But how much do you
take from other teams? How much do you watch games
and just like I like that, I like that, just
like put it down your notebook.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Yeah, uh, you know, definitely, And it's not it's not
just me, it's a it's a whole offensive staff coaches
that is doing this. We all have our own areas
of expertise and then pulling those ideas together. So this
time of heere is something we're definitely studying, Studying teams
around the league and how we can add to our
to our offense and and uh making teach teams for
our players. So that's that's part of the league. You know,
(03:35):
everyone everyone's got everybody else's film, and there's no doubt
people steal from each other. So there's a there's a
fine line between you know, taking too many ideas and
just trying to master what you do best, and that's
that's and then that's the really important part is Yeah,
myself and our staff, we we give our guys in
an identity and we get good at that before we
started worrying about our body else.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, you mentioned stealing stuff. If you could steal the
Eagles offensive line, that'd be phenomenal. All right, that's that's
my only request. Just just take their entire offensive line
and bring it here. But Clinn, honestly, when you look
around the league, I mean, your dad was a huge
influence on you. I think we all know that the
Shannonhans a gigantic influence on you. Is there anybody now
around the NFL schematically today where you look at and
you say, you know what, that's who we aspire to be.
(04:17):
That's what I want to look like.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You know, I'm gonna let our I'm gonna let our
players decide who we're gonna be. You know, I don't
want to mimic anybody's offense. You know, I think, uh,
you guys, it's well documented the type of scheme that
that we're gonna We're gonna try to run here and
if we go be the best to be in ourselves
and putting this offense together. You know, hopefully teams are
trying to emulate us. That's the goal.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
A lot of these guys on offense are veterans. They've
been around for a lot of different offensive coordinators. Now,
so how complex is your offense? How long will it
take these guys to really feel comfortable running?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Well, I know we're gonna challenge them where it is.
It is gonna be plenty of verbiage, there's gonna be
there's gonna be loss to learn, but these guys are
pro players, and these guys got pro intellects, so they
can pick up a lot really fast. And one, you know,
the one thing that I've learned is, you know, these
great players are great because they're talent, but the great
players in the NFL are just so intelligent. So you know,
(05:15):
we're going to stress them mentally. We're going to give
them a system they can be proud of, and we're
going to give them a you know, a system that's
withstood the test of time. And then here from April
through June, we got to be the best teachers in
the NFL. And that's a big challenge for us as coaches.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, the offensive line. We just kind of joke about
the egals obviously, but the offensive line has been a
major topic, right, I mean just doing the radio show
every day. You know, it seems like for ten to
fifteen years, the old line, the old line, the old line. Frankly,
I'm getting tired of it. I know, Dick getting tired
of it. Everybody would love for that to settle down.
But how much influence do you think you're going to
have when it comes to finding, selecting, scouting the offensive
(05:53):
line that you need to run this scheme that you're
talking about.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, you know, again, there's a lot of us in there.
There's a you know, our offensive staff, starting with John Bennon,
our offensive line coach, is gonna have a major input
in that, and I'm gonna support him. And you know,
Mac Brown, our tight end coach, is a huge part
of that too, the blocking scheme. But yeah, we're gonna
go identify free agents, We're gonna identify college players, and
(06:17):
you know that's not what it's all about. It's all
about developing the guys on the roster and making them
right too. So, uh, it's it's gonna be It's not
just one thing, and it's gonna be the whole staff working.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Together on how much do you value interior offensive lineman
Because it seems like tackles get all the attention, wide receivers,
quarterback whatever been guards, Centers don't get yacked about, talked
about a lot, really prioritized. How much do you prioritize
and value the interior of.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
The offensive line. Well, I think if you're gonna if
you're gonna be successful in the in the zone scheme,
it all starts with having an elite center, having a
dang Goods center that can move and is intelligent and
can make calls, and so it all starts from him.
And you know, there's always so much money to go
around on a there is a salary cap, and you
have to allocate those funds to other positions. And just
(07:07):
just because you may not value them financially based on
the percentage of the CAF, the guy gets that that's
the most important part of our team is the offensive one.
So we're gonna spend a lot of time of trying
to trying to make those guys better and getting the
most out of them, and uh, that's our challenges. Coaches.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
In the press conference, you use the word aggressive to
describe Geno in a positive way. Gino, his aggressiveness sometimes
gets them in trouble as well. So how do you
maintain that level of aggressiveness that you like and still
harness it a little bit? So there's not the picks
that we saw this year.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Yeah, well, you know that's gonna take a that's gonna
that's gonna be a year long relationship building of of
of putting that together. But it's just it's how that
we coach each play, the expectations of each play, the
progressions and what we expect of them, you know, and
just being really detail as coaches, myself and coach and
coach Jenoke and uh. I think that's something that we
(08:05):
definitely pride ourselves on. However, you know, we're not taking
the stinger out Geno. You know, I like that he's
aggressive and h you know, obviously I wasn't wasn't here
last year, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go
back and say, well, last year you did this, you know. No,
we're moving on. He's done a lot in this league
and been successful in this league, and there's a lot
to work with. So we're we're starting starting new.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, I click Qbiac again is with us on the air,
the brand new offensive coordinator for your Seattle Seahawks. And look,
there's a lot of things that we know that DK
metcalf is very very good at. Drawing coverage is certainly
one of them, no doubt. But your your coach has
said Macus said, it can't just be about drawing coverage
with this guy right when when he is covered, we
need to get him the ball. Talk to me about that.
(08:47):
How do you make sure that fourteen gets the ball
even when there's coverage all over this guy?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yeah, Well, I think with any with any wide receiver
in the NFL that has a talent that DK does,
you have to move them around right you get you
got to get them whether it's in motion or formationally.
So it's really important that the defense can't key on
them in one spot. So I think it starts right there.
And then you know, we have to we got to
get creative as coaches. And you know, I'm excited to
(09:14):
work with DK. Obviously he signed a lot of success
in this league. He's a veteran and uh, you know,
it's it's critical to our success that we get him involved.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Where are you on the spectrum of having players that
fit your system and versus your system fitting the players
you happen to have that year.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Well, I think, uh, here's the deal we got. Here's
the players that we have right the most. These guys
are gonna be here, and let's let's let's fit them
to this Let's fit them to the system, and then
let's let's coach our system and let's uh spend a
lot of time practicing. And hey, if if we're not
good in one area, then we're not going to run
that play because we have to win the game. That's
(09:53):
what it all comes down to. So we're gonna we're
gonna have a style of offense. We're gonna have a
style of play, and then and we're gonna identify our
guy's strongest traits and then we're going to accentuate those
traits in the fall. And that's our job as coaches.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, Clinton, is it? Is it different working for a
defensive minded head coach like you did last year with
Dennis obviously and now with Mack. You've worked with offensive
minded head coaches, but you're you're you're the head coach
of the offense. I mean, this is your baby he's
on the defense, but he's overall. But does that change
your job at all when you're working for a guy
who was clearly a defensive minded head coach.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
No, it's a team, it's all. We're a team. We're
all in this thing together, and uh, you know, our
ability to be successful on our respective size affects the
team's success. And that's what it all comes down to,
is the team. There's gonna be games we're gonna score.
It might be a six to three game, like you, guys,
I think you had one Chicago last year, and that's
a win. I won the game, all right. There's gonna
(10:48):
be games where it's it's fifteen to forty eight, and
it's our job to work together, to compliment each other,
and that that's what it's all about. Guys. Just win
the game. So obviously we want to have we want
to be six us, we want to have our stats.
That's great and all, but it's about it's about freaking winning.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Well, you had two different situations in Minnesota and New Orleans.
I mean last year you just had you were ravaged.
You guys didn't have a lot to work with all
the injuries. Minnesota you did and you did quite well.
How different are you as a play caller now than
you were five years ago when you started there in
Minnesota can Place?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
You know, I just think does have been plenty of
plenty of experiences that you learn the hard way on
some things. Got to be more prepared for that. You
got to have answers for immediate answers. You know, I
definitely feel more prepared going into each game now than
I did in twenty twenty one. However, you know, it's
(11:41):
it's I've been around a really a lot of great
coaches and worked on some great staffs, and you know,
I get to sit here and talk to you guys today.
But whatever we end up doing and we aspire to
be is going to come down to, you know, how
our coaching staff comes together and how we communicate on
game day, because because it's a team effort, especially work
talking with the offensive line guys and and talking with
(12:03):
guys up in the booth, you know, with Andrew, with
with with John Benton, with Jake Pete's. You know, it's
a group effort, it truly, and if it ever becomes
about one guy, we're in trouble.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Well, you mentioned that Bears game on Thursday Night Football.
That that's six to three win for the Seahawks last year.
You watched that game, by the way, you remember watching
that game.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
I watched the tape.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Okay, were you entertained by that?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Because I found it excruciating to watch that game Offensively,
I mean honestly, when you have a game like that,
the win is great. The win is the win. But
would you call that a good game for your offense?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
A night like that. I'm not gonna comment on you.
All the game last year he.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Was talking about you.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
If you had a game like that, would you walk
away be pissed?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Right, At the end of the day, you want you
want to you want to produce. That's what your job is.
So i'd be I'd be a little upset walking to
the car, but I'd be pretty pretty happy that we
got a w That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I love that and you you look the relationship with
you and your dad Shanahan's is obviously Hey to go
back on that, I have that that has happened, so like, yes,
that's that's happened plenty of times.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
So I'm not that's my phone for I'm not. I
don't need to talk about last year. That's that's a
that's a different, different year. But that happens. That happens
on a team. Yeah, and you got to make sure
your players feel how important it was that you just won,
because if yeah, you can be upset for a little bit, right, Okay,
but you better make sure you're the players know it's
all about winning too.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I'm glad that you said that you'd be pissed, because
we'll be pissed with you, all right. You can all
be pissed together if the offense scores six points, but
in the end, it is about to win. How much
do you still lean on your dad? How much do
you talk to him? How much does he kind of
send you a little text and notes about the stuff
he sees on tape. What's that relationship like right now?
From a professional perspective.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, no, I I had lean on him a lot always.
I talk to him almost every day, and uh, you know,
and probably a quarter of it is about football, as
you guys could probably imagine, so uh, always asking for
his advice, always accepting. Uh you know, I usually hang
the phone a little upset and then usually call him
back later by hey, you know what you're right about that,
(14:07):
but really really grateful for his input.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Well as of right.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Now, the Eagles of the gold standard. So when you
watch that offense perform over the last month, what impressed
you the most about what they did?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
You know? I think you look at the team, right
They obviously ran the ball well and it took shots
down the field, and then they played elite defense. So
they played together as a team, you know, not knowing
all the details of it, just that's what stands out
watching him from far team wins.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, you did mention in there that you want to.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Have a fullback, and Dick and I got a.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Little excited by the way hearing that, all right, because
I believe that every team always has a full back
on the roster, whether it's a defensive tackle or a
tight end or whatever. Would you personally be opposed if
Byron Murphy because we saw the Texas game against Washington
two years ago and they used Sark used Byron as
a blocking back in Austin. If he came to you
(15:00):
and said, hey, man, if you need me to be
a blocking back on there for you, would you be
opposed to using Byer Murphy as a blocking back?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
I gotta go watch the tape.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Yes, I'm not as familiar with with Byron's offensive reps.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
He's big, He's really big.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Oh, definitely, we'll be we'll be looking at it for sure.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
You were asking the press conference, you're your toughest interview question.
Can you expand a little bit on the back and
forth that the situational back and forth that you had
with Mike.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Just you know, coach had a had a had a
really cool situational discussion, you know, what would you do
in this situation and kind of a rapid fire thing.
And just I thought it was a really cool exercise
that uh that it was really smart by him to
to to grill young.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You must have passed it, I would hope, so, I
would hope.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, listen, you came from New Orleans, where you think
you know good food. This is this This place blows
New Orleans out of the water, not even close by
the way. All right, you need your restaurant recommendations. Let
us know. Tell us about yourself. You're married, you got
kids with your back.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I am I'm married at four kids eight years old.
Oh my god. Well really really really fortunate to you know,
to get to be a dad of four kids, so
excited for them to get out here and now and
check out Seattle.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
What's what's tough for calling an NFL offense or handling
four kids under the age of eight years old?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Yeah, exactly, no doubt. Yeah, that's what my wife. She's
just saying.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Good stuff from Clint kubiak Man again.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I I just wonder why this will be different than
Ryan Grubb, than Shane Waldron, than Brian Schottenheimer. Why John
Betton will be different than Scott Huff and Andy Dickerson.
Blah blah blah. We could be here all day. Let's
come back and discuss that. Will this finally be the guy?
Will he be the hero the fan base deserves? Next
(16:49):
on ninety three to three kJ RFM.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Softie and Dick on your home for the
Huskies Creck in Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
You're going to be successful in the zone scheme. It
all starts with having an elite center, having a dang
goods center that can move and is intelligent and can
make calls. And you know, there's always so much money
to go around on a roster. There is a salary cap,
and you have to allocate those funds to other positions.
Most important part of our team is the offensive line,
so we're going to spend a lot of time trying
(17:24):
to make those guys better.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All right, So anita center who can make calls? So
no mutes is required by the Seahawks. I'm sorry, well,
big Gas, there's nothing wrong with the mute. That's fine.
You want to be silent, be silent, but we got
to have you talk here if you're going to be
the center for the Seattle Seahawks. So they have not
had an elite center since mac Max Sunger was the
first team All Pro in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Have not had an All.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Pro bowler since Unger was a Pro bowler in twenty thirteen.
Only two centers all time in the history of the
Seahawks have made even a Pro Bowl roster. It's him
and Robbie Tobeck. So good luck with that, right. I mean,
every team in the NFL is looking for the same
damn thing.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I just feel like are people looking at Clinton Kobiak
as some kind of a messiah for the offense?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Maybe we kind of felt that way about Ryan Grubb,
but I think we also thought that the offensive line
was going to be better than it was. I mean,
I remember the conversation Jackson we had over the offseason
last year. You can go back and check the tape.
I mean, you were recording it for crying out lone.
It's all available in the system. Where we thought, okay,
this offensive line, it took him three years to get
(18:30):
to this point where Big o'lou is going to be
your center, Christian Haynes is going to be your starting
right guard, Charles cross is going to be your starting
left tackle obviously, Abe Lucas over there at right tackle,
and then the old man for one year at left guard.
I thought the offensive line, like last June, was actually okay,
was serviceable, and I turned out to be totally wrong
(18:51):
about that, and Greg Bell might be exactly right.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
They may have three new offensive starters.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
So I have regressed in my confidence meter on the
Seahawk offensive line. And I don't know if on the surface,
Clint Kubiak can make up much of a difference by himself,
but he won't have to because this offensive line what
it looks like now is not what it's going to
look like in September. Obviously, But if anybody out there
is looking at Clint Kubiak as some kind of a hero,
(19:17):
some kind of a savior, some kind of a messiah,
I'm not banking on that. And I don't think the
Seahawk fans are either. No, I don't think they are.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I mean, listen, what has this guy done that it's
proved that he knows a leite offensive lineman and runs
the lead offensive lines. I mean, he's bounced around here,
there and everywhere over the last few years. So there's
nothing to in your head that you can merely point
to inside. Yeah, this guy's gonna But on top of which,
they're bringing this guy in before the draft, so he
(19:47):
hopefully he can't exactly what you say, make this line
look the way he wants it to look, you know,
come September, where we have a much improved line because
I mean, obviously, listen, we've Chris, you know, all these
different things. But at the end of the day, it's
been John Schneider drafting these linemen for the last fifteen years,
and for the most part, it's been a failure. It's
(20:08):
been an absolute failure for John Schneider, and he's the
guy that's been the consistent underlying thing across these bad
offensive lines. So are John, have you finally brought in
these people who can show you the good offensive lineman?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
There?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Well failure, failure, failure, thank you, easy segue there. I
just don't know if it's really fair to expect much
to change. I mean, we hope it changes, right, let
me rephrase that we expect it to change. I don't
know if it's realistic to think this is the team
and the guy to go out and do it, and
if they do do it. Look, they won ten games
(20:43):
last year with a terrible offensive line. You know, the
offensive line is mediocre, The offensive line is slightly above average.
This may have been an eleven or a twelve win
football team a year ago for all we know. Dudes,
So they're really not that far away in some ways.
But they're really far away because fixing the problem they've
got is not a forte of the guy that's doing
(21:05):
the fixing exactly. And that's what concerns me. That's what
freaks me out. So look, I don't even know if
this is the time and place in their organization's history
to go out and draft the young quarterback and play
the guy right away. I don't think they'll be doing
it on day one. I don't even think that they
will do it on day two. You want to get
somebody on day three, to have a body in there
(21:25):
that you can potentially develop into who knows what. That's fine,
but nobody's gonna be looking at that guy as the
next superstar in Seattle. I just think before they do that,
before they go out and get that dude, whoever that
guy ends up being, they got to fix this line,
and then you draft the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
You do what you did for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You brought in Russell Wilson, You had the league's highest
paid line, You had Marshawn you had Michael Robinson, Doug Baldwin,
Zach Miller, Golden Tate, all these cats, and he was
in a great spot, maybe the best spot ever for
a rookie quarterback in the history of the NFL. So
I'm concerned about ruining somebody behind this offensive.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I think the Hawks get it. I think John Schneider
gets it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I just don't know if they can fix it because
the track record says no, But you know, for Kobiak, look,
I mean, hey, you know, nice enough guy, right, been
around some good coaches and exposed to some cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Around the NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
But I don't know if there's any offensive coordinator the
Seahawks could have hired that really would have gotten me
that fired up. Who's the Steve Spagnola of offensive coordinators
right now in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Who's the vich John Ben johnsonbody's now a head coach, right?
So I mean, I guess if you hire a guy
like that, and any offensive coordinator that even remotely turns
a team on is going to be gone like that
and get a head coaching job in a minute. So
who's the Vic Fangio, Who's the Spagnola of offensive coordinator?
Where they can go ahead and get that guy and say,
oh man, this is really going to be different now.
(22:49):
I think it's uber important here obviously because you have
a defensive mind to the head coach in Mike McDonald.
But I just think the most important guy right now
in this franchise is John Schneider.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
End of story.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
The most important guy, the guy that we should be
looking at to save our asses, is the general manager that's.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
It, which is scary because he doesn't know offensive lines, right,
because that is the thing holding this team back.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, and look, I don't know if it's a matter
of well, okay, what you just said there, he doesn't
know offensive line.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, I think you're right, because.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Obviously everybody has a weakness, and your weakest weakness, if
you will, might be considered a strength compared to other people.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But on the list of Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You're good at building a run game, you're good at
building a secondary, you're good at fighting linebackers, you're good
at fighting a quarterback, you're good at finding wide receivers, Titans.
On that list of things, some thing has to be
at the bottom has to be. And whatever's at the
bottom for Howie Roseman maybe miles ahead of where John
Schneider is, right, whatever you know, Ozzie Newsome's biggest weakness
(23:56):
is whatever, Mickey Loomis's biggest weakness is, whatever it is,
is gonna be potentially miles ahead of somebody else.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I just think that.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
For John, And look, like we've said a million times
with you, his legacy in this town is done. It's
in granted. The guy who won a championship he broke
the curse. He brought us a Lombardy. I mean, he's
got nothing more to prove. But if he wants to
stay on the job, he's got to prove he can
turn this around. He's got to prove he can rebuild
this offensive line, because if he can't, we're gonna keep
(24:24):
spinning our wheels. Maybe you win nine, maybe every now
and then you win ten or eleven, but you're not
gonna be an elite team. You're not gonna win a
conference title. You're not gonna make a super Bowl with
this offensive line as bad as they are unless you
find lightning in a bottle and got a guy like
Mahomes not to amazing and good luck with that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, look how high above the cap they are right now.
There are going to be a lot of hard decisions
to have to come. Tyler Lockett, maybe Geno Smith. And
if we're having the conversation of trying to go find
good offensive lineman looking in a free agency, looking at
Trice Smith, looking at all these different options to get you,
as Koobiak talked about an elite John Schneider, this is
(25:02):
your off season, man, Yes, you gotta need the hard
decisions and you've got to get us the money to
get us that line.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Well, it's clear what they need, so go get it right.
Like everybody's sidering going, do you I wonder what they need?
We all know what they need. Everyone knows what they need.
The Seahawks know what they need. Kubiak knows what he needs.
McDonald knows what he needs. So can the guy go
get it right? Can he go on a quest?
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Can they free that money right? Like like like show
me the money, John, show me the money.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Frodo and Sam went out on a quest and they
had to go through hell and back to get it
and they got the job done. He's got to go
out and just simply put and deliver for these guys.
He's the most important person right now. And it's not
even close. All right, we're gonna break, we're gonna come back.
And the Eagles had their parade today, right, so we figure, hey,
why the hell not? It's been eleven years. The fact
that we still have this on tape, by the way,
(25:46):
is unbelievable that this survived eleven years.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Here and the mothball we call our archives system.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Eleven years ago the Seahawks parade, we thought with the
Eagles having their parade today, it makes sense to take
a little bit of a jug done men relaying, and
listen to what that day sounded like at the Seahawk
parade eleven years ago. We'll do that next on ninety
three three KJRFM, Mine.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Saftie and Dick Gone your Home for the
Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJR FM.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
All right back here on a Friday night, Safie, Dick Jackson,
No Dick today. Kevin Harlan joins, coming up six pm hour.
But hey man, the Eagles had their parade today in Philadelphia,
and I got kind of all like everklemped about our
day that we had eleven years ago, eleven years nine
days ago, February fifth, two thy fourteen, Seahawks win forty
three to eight. We come back on a Wednesday. I
(26:45):
like how fast it happened, By the way, Philadelphia, I
had to wait till Friday.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Were you there at the parade?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
By the way, I was writing from a city hall
at six thirty am.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Good for you cold Well, it could be the only
chance we ever had to celebrate something like that in
our lifetime. You never know, man, but we thought it
was appropriate. Why should the Eagles have all the fun?
Why should their fans have all the fun? Right, let's
go back to that day eleven years ago and the
one regret that I have. I'll tell you about it
after this little clip is over here. It's actually about
(27:13):
six minutes longer, so five or six minutes long. The
radio station powers that be decided it was a good
idea to give me a wireless microphone and let me
walk down the streets and follow the parade route live
on KJR. Here's what that sounded like. Eleven years ago
and nine days right here on ninety three to three KJIRFM.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
I am walking with the Vince Lombardi trophy. It is
literally six inches from my face right now, there's a
military person. How cool is it to get to carry
that trophy? Sir?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Very cool? Go guard.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
This is beautiful that thing. I can reach out and
touch it up. I kiss that sucker. Lah, Oh, beautiful Lombardi.
Hold that thing out for people. Hold it up, yes, sir,
thank you appreciate that. That's trophy's coming through here right
now it looks like Captain and Wassack. I hope I'm
getting his nigh right up the back of his head.
(28:08):
But that trophy just came through here, and I just
gave it a freaking kiss.
Speaker 1 (28:11):

somebody from the Hawks.

Speaker 12 (34:27):
We're going on around one game let's gone.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I'm telling you, man, that was I don't think I've
been in a better mood for a longer period of
time than.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That day at the parade.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Uh, My biggest regret is I didn't put more fans
on the air, you know, just random people. What's your name,
where are you from? Tell me about this? Blah blah blah.
It was chaos, right, I mean total chaos. None of
us have ever covered anything like that before. And h
the the edits that were made there. What you don't
realize is I threw the microphone up to Doug Baldwin
(35:00):
and Jermaine Curse. They were doing the duck thing with
the wide receivers and I actually had kind of fallen
down and the truck took off, and they had a
live microphone, a live radio microphone. I don't think those
guys knew that was actually live on the ear. I'm
thinking to myself, oh my god, this is where it
all ends. This is where it all ends. But three
people that you heard from there that were no longer
with us, obviously in Tavaris Jackson, Paul Allen, and Cortez Kennedy.
(35:23):
Funnest day I've ever had as a sports fan, was
that day right there? I mean, the Super Bowl was awesome,
stressful as hell, great party afterwards, but from sun up
to sundown. Don't think I've ever been in that kind
of a mood man ever as a sports fan. And
you know what, it's time to get it back. Eleven
years later. It's time to get that back for both
(35:43):
the every team in Seattle, a place like this should
not have to wait over a decade for a major
sports championship, and the.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Guy who is clearly having a very good time, John Schneider.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Oh god, damn yeah, he was enjoying himself to good.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Talk about getting back, John Schneider, get us back. It's
up to you, buddy,
KJRFM, and each he row announcing at the age of
fifty five years old, he is making a comeback and
would like to play baseball again.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I'm lying.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
What he said today is he's going to be like
Tom sever and Hank Aaron and he plans to donate
his entire personal collection of memorabilia to the Hall of
Fame in Cooper's Town, New York.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I think I got his age wrong. Is he fifty two?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I think he chows the same age as me, by
the way, Really yeah, I think he's fifty. He's fifty
one to be fifty two years old later this year.
How about that we're the same age? You think he
tro walks around says, you know what, I'm the same
age as Softy.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, but I do think he could still play baseball
today and he might help the Mariners offensively.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Well.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I think there's about three or four guys on this
baseball team that eachro would be better at. By the way,
right now, at the age of fifty one years old,
Clint Kubiak, we haven't had a chance yet to replay this.
He was on the air with us on Tuesday, the
brand new offensive coordinator and asked him so let's talk
about how you ended up in Seattle, spend a year
where the Saints stops places like Minnesota, San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Why is Clint Kubiak moving from Louisiana to ranked in Washington.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Yeah, just uh opportunity, you know, really fortunate to be
able to get to talk to Mike in the interview process,
and uh, just grateful for the opportunity to interview for
the position and obviously come into a really excellent situation
with the personnel here in Seattle, and then getting to
you know, bring some coaches that we've had some familiarity
with that have that have been so instrumental in uh
(01:29):
in us teaching this scheme. So thankful for Mike for
giving us that chance.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Well, we've heard a lot in the last year about
priorities maybe not being the line between offensive coordinator and
a head coach and complimentary football not being played. Why
are your priorities in line with coach McDonald? H?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Well, you know, here's the deal. Coach McDonald is stressed
from from the beginning. You know, the things that he's
that he's looking for and the type of the offense
that he seeks, and you know, I'm you know, I'm
excited that our brand of ball does match that We've
talked to that in the interview process, and we also
have the same agreement that you know, it's not always
(02:07):
going to be one way. You know, there's there's there's
more than one way to win a game. And and
obviously we want to be a physical, physical team that
can run the football and play action and all those things.
But then we got to be at our best in
those in those drop back passing situations. So there's a
lot that goes into it, and I definitely believe that
that coaches and I is, uh, you know, our priorities line.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, well click Kubiak is with us brand your Seahawks
offensive coordinator right here on ninety three to three kJ
r FM. I want to backtrack for a second because
I've noticed, now this is your fifth stop in the
last five years, right Minnesota, Denver, the Niners, the Saints,
and now Seattle. Is there a part of you that
would like to maybe stick around somewhere for a while
and stop moving for ones I yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
No, absolutely, that's what that's what's so appealing about this opportunity.
And uh, the number one one you do that is
you produce and you win. And that's the job right
now is our coaches myself to get on the same
page so that we can communicate that vision our players
and go be successful. So, uh, you know, the stability
takes care of itself when you're successful.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
You had the system, you learned it from your dad,
you learned it from Shanahan. But how much do you
take from other teams? How much do you watch games
and just like I like that, I like that, just
like put it down your notebook.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Yeah, uh, you know, definitely, And it's not it's not
just me, it's a it's a whole offensive staff coaches
that is doing this. We all have our own areas
of expertise and then pulling those ideas together. So this
time of heere is something we're definitely studying, Studying teams
around the league and how we can add to our
to our offense and and uh making teach teams for
our players. So that's that's part of the league. You know,
(03:35):
everyone everyone's got everybody else's film, and there's no doubt
people steal from each other. So there's a there's a
fine line between you know, taking too many ideas and
just trying to master what you do best, and that's
that's and then that's the really important part is Yeah,
myself and our staff, we we give our guys in
an identity and we get good at that before we
started worrying about our body else.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Well, you mentioned stealing stuff. If you could steal the
Eagles offensive line, that'd be phenomenal. All right, that's that's
my only request. Just just take their entire offensive line
and bring it here. But Clinn, honestly, when you look
around the league, I mean, your dad was a huge
influence on you. I think we all know that the
Shannonhans a gigantic influence on you. Is there anybody now
around the NFL schematically today where you look at and
you say, you know what, that's who we aspire to be.
(04:17):
That's what I want to look like.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
You know, I'm gonna let our I'm gonna let our
players decide who we're gonna be. You know, I don't
want to mimic anybody's offense. You know, I think, uh,
you guys, it's well documented the type of scheme that
that we're gonna We're gonna try to run here and
if we go be the best to be in ourselves
and putting this offense together. You know, hopefully teams are
trying to emulate us. That's the goal.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
A lot of these guys on offense are veterans. They've
been around for a lot of different offensive coordinators. Now,
so how complex is your offense? How long will it
take these guys to really feel comfortable running?
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Well, I know we're gonna challenge them where it is.
It is gonna be plenty of verbiage, there's gonna be
there's gonna be loss to learn, but these guys are
pro players, and these guys got pro intellects, so they
can pick up a lot really fast. And one, you know,
the one thing that I've learned is, you know, these
great players are great because they're talent, but the great
players in the NFL are just so intelligent. So you know,
(05:15):
we're going to stress them mentally. We're going to give
them a system they can be proud of, and we're
going to give them a you know, a system that's
withstood the test of time. And then here from April
through June, we got to be the best teachers in
the NFL. And that's a big challenge for us as coaches.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, the offensive line. We just kind of joke about
the egals obviously, but the offensive line has been a
major topic, right, I mean just doing the radio show
every day. You know, it seems like for ten to
fifteen years, the old line, the old line, the old line. Frankly,
I'm getting tired of it. I know, Dick getting tired
of it. Everybody would love for that to settle down.
But how much influence do you think you're going to
have when it comes to finding, selecting, scouting the offensive
(05:53):
line that you need to run this scheme that you're
talking about.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
Yeah, you know, again, there's a lot of us in there.
There's a you know, our offensive staff, starting with John Bennon,
our offensive line coach, is gonna have a major input
in that, and I'm gonna support him. And you know,
Mac Brown, our tight end coach, is a huge part
of that too, the blocking scheme. But yeah, we're gonna
go identify free agents, We're gonna identify college players, and
(06:17):
you know that's not what it's all about. It's all
about developing the guys on the roster and making them
right too. So, uh, it's it's gonna be It's not
just one thing, and it's gonna be the whole staff working.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Together on how much do you value interior offensive lineman
Because it seems like tackles get all the attention, wide receivers,
quarterback whatever been guards, Centers don't get yacked about, talked
about a lot, really prioritized. How much do you prioritize
and value the interior of.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
The offensive line. Well, I think if you're gonna if
you're gonna be successful in the in the zone scheme,
it all starts with having an elite center, having a
dang Goods center that can move and is intelligent and
can make calls, and so it all starts from him.
And you know, there's always so much money to go
around on a there is a salary cap, and you
have to allocate those funds to other positions. And just
(07:07):
just because you may not value them financially based on
the percentage of the CAF, the guy gets that that's
the most important part of our team is the offensive one.
So we're gonna spend a lot of time of trying
to trying to make those guys better and getting the
most out of them, and uh, that's our challenges. Coaches.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
In the press conference, you use the word aggressive to
describe Geno in a positive way. Gino, his aggressiveness sometimes
gets them in trouble as well. So how do you
maintain that level of aggressiveness that you like and still
harness it a little bit? So there's not the picks
that we saw this year.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Yeah, well, you know that's gonna take a that's gonna
that's gonna be a year long relationship building of of
of putting that together. But it's just it's how that
we coach each play, the expectations of each play, the
progressions and what we expect of them, you know, and
just being really detail as coaches, myself and coach and
coach Jenoke and uh. I think that's something that we
(08:05):
definitely pride ourselves on. However, you know, we're not taking
the stinger out Geno. You know, I like that he's
aggressive and h you know, obviously I wasn't wasn't here
last year, and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go
back and say, well, last year you did this, you know. No,
we're moving on. He's done a lot in this league
and been successful in this league, and there's a lot
to work with. So we're we're starting starting new.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Well, I click Qbiac again is with us on the air,
the brand new offensive coordinator for your Seattle Seahawks. And look,
there's a lot of things that we know that DK
metcalf is very very good at. Drawing coverage is certainly
one of them, no doubt. But your your coach has
said Macus said, it can't just be about drawing coverage
with this guy right when when he is covered, we
need to get him the ball. Talk to me about that.
(08:47):
How do you make sure that fourteen gets the ball
even when there's coverage all over this guy?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yeah, Well, I think with any with any wide receiver
in the NFL that has a talent that DK does,
you have to move them around right you get you
got to get them whether it's in motion or formationally.
So it's really important that the defense can't key on
them in one spot. So I think it starts right there.
And then you know, we have to we got to
get creative as coaches. And you know, I'm excited to
(09:14):
work with DK. Obviously he signed a lot of success
in this league. He's a veteran and uh, you know,
it's it's critical to our success that we get him involved.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Where are you on the spectrum of having players that
fit your system and versus your system fitting the players
you happen to have that year.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Well, I think, uh, here's the deal we got. Here's
the players that we have right the most. These guys
are gonna be here, and let's let's let's fit them
to this Let's fit them to the system, and then
let's let's coach our system and let's uh spend a
lot of time practicing. And hey, if if we're not
good in one area, then we're not going to run
that play because we have to win the game. That's
(09:53):
what it all comes down to. So we're gonna we're
gonna have a style of offense. We're gonna have a
style of play, and then and we're gonna identify our
guy's strongest traits and then we're going to accentuate those
traits in the fall. And that's our job as coaches.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah, Clinton, is it? Is it different working for a
defensive minded head coach like you did last year with
Dennis obviously and now with Mack. You've worked with offensive
minded head coaches, but you're you're you're the head coach
of the offense. I mean, this is your baby he's
on the defense, but he's overall. But does that change
your job at all when you're working for a guy
who was clearly a defensive minded head coach.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
No, it's a team, it's all. We're a team. We're
all in this thing together, and uh, you know, our
ability to be successful on our respective size affects the
team's success. And that's what it all comes down to,
is the team. There's gonna be games we're gonna score.
It might be a six to three game, like you, guys,
I think you had one Chicago last year, and that's
a win. I won the game, all right. There's gonna
(10:48):
be games where it's it's fifteen to forty eight, and
it's our job to work together, to compliment each other,
and that that's what it's all about. Guys. Just win
the game. So obviously we want to have we want
to be six us, we want to have our stats.
That's great and all, but it's about it's about freaking winning.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Well, you had two different situations in Minnesota and New Orleans.
I mean last year you just had you were ravaged.
You guys didn't have a lot to work with all
the injuries. Minnesota you did and you did quite well.
How different are you as a play caller now than
you were five years ago when you started there in
Minnesota can Place?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
You know, I just think does have been plenty of
plenty of experiences that you learn the hard way on
some things. Got to be more prepared for that. You
got to have answers for immediate answers. You know, I
definitely feel more prepared going into each game now than
I did in twenty twenty one. However, you know, it's
(11:41):
it's I've been around a really a lot of great
coaches and worked on some great staffs, and you know,
I get to sit here and talk to you guys today.
But whatever we end up doing and we aspire to
be is going to come down to, you know, how
our coaching staff comes together and how we communicate on
game day, because because it's a team effort, especially work
talking with the offensive line guys and and talking with
(12:03):
guys up in the booth, you know, with Andrew, with
with with John Benton, with Jake Pete's. You know, it's
a group effort, it truly, and if it ever becomes
about one guy, we're in trouble.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Well, you mentioned that Bears game on Thursday Night Football.
That that's six to three win for the Seahawks last year.
You watched that game, by the way, you remember watching
that game.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
I watched the tape.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Okay, were you entertained by that?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Because I found it excruciating to watch that game Offensively,
I mean honestly, when you have a game like that,
the win is great. The win is the win. But
would you call that a good game for your offense?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
A night like that. I'm not gonna comment on you.
All the game last year he.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Was talking about you.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
If you had a game like that, would you walk
away be pissed?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Right, At the end of the day, you want you
want to you want to produce. That's what your job is.
So i'd be I'd be a little upset walking to
the car, but I'd be pretty pretty happy that we
got a w That's what it's all about.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I love that and you you look the relationship with
you and your dad Shanahan's is obviously Hey to go
back on that, I have that that has happened, so like, yes,
that's that's happened plenty of times.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
So I'm not that's my phone for I'm not. I
don't need to talk about last year. That's that's a
that's a different, different year. But that happens. That happens
on a team. Yeah, and you got to make sure
your players feel how important it was that you just won,
because if yeah, you can be upset for a little bit, right, Okay,
but you better make sure you're the players know it's
all about winning too.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I'm glad that you said that you'd be pissed, because
we'll be pissed with you, all right. You can all
be pissed together if the offense scores six points, but
in the end, it is about to win. How much
do you still lean on your dad? How much do
you talk to him? How much does he kind of
send you a little text and notes about the stuff
he sees on tape. What's that relationship like right now?
From a professional perspective.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, no, I I had lean on him a lot always.
I talk to him almost every day, and uh, you know,
and probably a quarter of it is about football, as
you guys could probably imagine, so uh, always asking for
his advice, always accepting. Uh you know, I usually hang
the phone a little upset and then usually call him
back later by hey, you know what you're right about that,
(14:07):
but really really grateful for his input.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Well as of right.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
Now, the Eagles of the gold standard. So when you
watch that offense perform over the last month, what impressed
you the most about what they did?
Speaker 5 (14:19):
You know? I think you look at the team, right
They obviously ran the ball well and it took shots
down the field, and then they played elite defense. So
they played together as a team, you know, not knowing
all the details of it, just that's what stands out
watching him from far team wins.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Well, you did mention in there that you want to.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Have a fullback, and Dick and I got a.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Little excited by the way hearing that, all right, because
I believe that every team always has a full back
on the roster, whether it's a defensive tackle or a
tight end or whatever. Would you personally be opposed if
Byron Murphy because we saw the Texas game against Washington
two years ago and they used Sark used Byron as
a blocking back in Austin. If he came to you
(15:00):
and said, hey, man, if you need me to be
a blocking back on there for you, would you be
opposed to using Byer Murphy as a blocking back?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
I gotta go watch the tape.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
You know.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
Yes, I'm not as familiar with with Byron's offensive reps.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
He's big, He's really big.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Oh, definitely, we'll be we'll be looking at it for sure.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
You were asking the press conference, you're your toughest interview question.
Can you expand a little bit on the back and
forth that the situational back and forth that you had
with Mike.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Just you know, coach had a had a had a
really cool situational discussion, you know, what would you do
in this situation and kind of a rapid fire thing.
And just I thought it was a really cool exercise
that uh that it was really smart by him to
to to grill young.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
You must have passed it, I would hope, so, I
would hope.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, listen, you came from New Orleans, where you think
you know good food. This is this This place blows
New Orleans out of the water, not even close by
the way. All right, you need your restaurant recommendations. Let
us know. Tell us about yourself. You're married, you got
kids with your back.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I am I'm married at four kids eight years old.
Oh my god. Well really really really fortunate to you know,
to get to be a dad of four kids, so
excited for them to get out here and now and
check out Seattle.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
What's what's tough for calling an NFL offense or handling
four kids under the age of eight years old?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Yeah, exactly, no doubt. Yeah, that's what my wife. She's
just saying.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Good stuff from Clint kubiak Man again.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I I just wonder why this will be different than
Ryan Grubb, than Shane Waldron, than Brian Schottenheimer. Why John
Betton will be different than Scott Huff and Andy Dickerson.
Blah blah blah. We could be here all day. Let's
come back and discuss that. Will this finally be the guy?
Will he be the hero the fan base deserves? Next
(16:49):
on ninety three to three kJ RFM.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Softie and Dick on your home for the
Huskies Creck in Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR FM.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
You're going to be successful in the zone scheme. It
all starts with having an elite center, having a dang
goods center that can move and is intelligent and can
make calls. And you know, there's always so much money
to go around on a roster. There is a salary cap,
and you have to allocate those funds to other positions.
Most important part of our team is the offensive line,
so we're going to spend a lot of time trying
(17:24):
to make those guys better.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All right, So anita center who can make calls? So
no mutes is required by the Seahawks. I'm sorry, well,
big Gas, there's nothing wrong with the mute. That's fine.
You want to be silent, be silent, but we got
to have you talk here if you're going to be
the center for the Seattle Seahawks. So they have not
had an elite center since mac Max Sunger was the
first team All Pro in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Have not had an All.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Pro bowler since Unger was a Pro bowler in twenty thirteen.
Only two centers all time in the history of the
Seahawks have made even a Pro Bowl roster. It's him
and Robbie Tobeck. So good luck with that, right. I mean,
every team in the NFL is looking for the same
damn thing.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I just feel like are people looking at Clinton Kobiak
as some kind of a messiah for the offense?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Maybe we kind of felt that way about Ryan Grubb,
but I think we also thought that the offensive line
was going to be better than it was. I mean,
I remember the conversation Jackson we had over the offseason
last year. You can go back and check the tape.
I mean, you were recording it for crying out lone.
It's all available in the system. Where we thought, okay,
this offensive line, it took him three years to get
(18:30):
to this point where Big o'lou is going to be
your center, Christian Haynes is going to be your starting
right guard, Charles cross is going to be your starting
left tackle obviously, Abe Lucas over there at right tackle,
and then the old man for one year at left guard.
I thought the offensive line, like last June, was actually okay,
was serviceable, and I turned out to be totally wrong
(18:51):
about that, and Greg Bell might be exactly right.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
They may have three new offensive starters.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
So I have regressed in my confidence meter on the
Seahawk offensive line. And I don't know if on the surface,
Clint Kubiak can make up much of a difference by himself,
but he won't have to because this offensive line what
it looks like now is not what it's going to
look like in September. Obviously, But if anybody out there
is looking at Clint Kubiak as some kind of a hero,
(19:17):
some kind of a savior, some kind of a messiah,
I'm not banking on that. And I don't think the
Seahawk fans are either. No, I don't think they are.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I mean, listen, what has this guy done that it's
proved that he knows a leite offensive lineman and runs
the lead offensive lines. I mean, he's bounced around here,
there and everywhere over the last few years. So there's
nothing to in your head that you can merely point
to inside. Yeah, this guy's gonna But on top of which,
they're bringing this guy in before the draft, so he
(19:47):
hopefully he can't exactly what you say, make this line
look the way he wants it to look, you know,
come September, where we have a much improved line because
I mean, obviously, listen, we've Chris, you know, all these
different things. But at the end of the day, it's
been John Schneider drafting these linemen for the last fifteen years,
and for the most part, it's been a failure. It's
(20:08):
been an absolute failure for John Schneider, and he's the
guy that's been the consistent underlying thing across these bad
offensive lines. So are John, have you finally brought in
these people who can show you the good offensive lineman?
Speaker 5 (20:21):
There?
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Well failure, failure, failure, thank you, easy segue there. I
just don't know if it's really fair to expect much
to change. I mean, we hope it changes, right, let
me rephrase that we expect it to change. I don't
know if it's realistic to think this is the team
and the guy to go out and do it, and
if they do do it. Look, they won ten games
(20:43):
last year with a terrible offensive line. You know, the
offensive line is mediocre, The offensive line is slightly above average.
This may have been an eleven or a twelve win
football team a year ago for all we know. Dudes,
So they're really not that far away in some ways.
But they're really far away because fixing the problem they've
got is not a forte of the guy that's doing
(21:05):
the fixing exactly. And that's what concerns me. That's what
freaks me out. So look, I don't even know if
this is the time and place in their organization's history
to go out and draft the young quarterback and play
the guy right away. I don't think they'll be doing
it on day one. I don't even think that they
will do it on day two. You want to get
somebody on day three, to have a body in there
(21:25):
that you can potentially develop into who knows what. That's fine,
but nobody's gonna be looking at that guy as the
next superstar in Seattle. I just think before they do that,
before they go out and get that dude, whoever that
guy ends up being, they got to fix this line,
and then you draft the quarterback.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
You do what you did for Russell Wilson.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Man.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
You brought in Russell Wilson, You had the league's highest
paid line, You had Marshawn you had Michael Robinson, Doug Baldwin,
Zach Miller, Golden Tate, all these cats, and he was
in a great spot, maybe the best spot ever for
a rookie quarterback in the history of the NFL. So
I'm concerned about ruining somebody behind this offensive.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I think the Hawks get it. I think John Schneider
gets it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I just don't know if they can fix it because
the track record says no, But you know, for Kobiak, look,
I mean, hey, you know, nice enough guy, right, been
around some good coaches and exposed to some cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Around the NFL.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
But I don't know if there's any offensive coordinator the
Seahawks could have hired that really would have gotten me
that fired up. Who's the Steve Spagnola of offensive coordinators
right now in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Right?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Who's the vich John Ben johnsonbody's now a head coach, right?
So I mean, I guess if you hire a guy
like that, and any offensive coordinator that even remotely turns
a team on is going to be gone like that
and get a head coaching job in a minute. So
who's the Vic Fangio, Who's the Spagnola of offensive coordinator?
Where they can go ahead and get that guy and say,
oh man, this is really going to be different now.
(22:49):
I think it's uber important here obviously because you have
a defensive mind to the head coach in Mike McDonald.
But I just think the most important guy right now
in this franchise is John Schneider.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
End of story.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
The most important guy, the guy that we should be
looking at to save our asses, is the general manager that's.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
It, which is scary because he doesn't know offensive lines, right,
because that is the thing holding this team back.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, and look, I don't know if it's a matter
of well, okay, what you just said there, he doesn't
know offensive line.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Well, I think you're right, because.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Obviously everybody has a weakness, and your weakest weakness, if
you will, might be considered a strength compared to other people.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But on the list of Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You're good at building a run game, you're good at
building a secondary, you're good at fighting linebackers, you're good
at fighting a quarterback, you're good at finding wide receivers, Titans.
On that list of things, some thing has to be
at the bottom has to be. And whatever's at the
bottom for Howie Roseman maybe miles ahead of where John
Schneider is, right, whatever you know, Ozzie Newsome's biggest weakness
(23:56):
is whatever, Mickey Loomis's biggest weakness is, whatever it is,
is gonna be potentially miles ahead of somebody else.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I just think that.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
For John, And look, like we've said a million times
with you, his legacy in this town is done. It's
in granted. The guy who won a championship he broke
the curse. He brought us a Lombardy. I mean, he's
got nothing more to prove. But if he wants to
stay on the job, he's got to prove he can
turn this around. He's got to prove he can rebuild
this offensive line, because if he can't, we're gonna keep
(24:24):
spinning our wheels. Maybe you win nine, maybe every now
and then you win ten or eleven, but you're not
gonna be an elite team. You're not gonna win a
conference title. You're not gonna make a super Bowl with
this offensive line as bad as they are unless you
find lightning in a bottle and got a guy like
Mahomes not to amazing and good luck with that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, look how high above the cap they are right now.
There are going to be a lot of hard decisions
to have to come. Tyler Lockett, maybe Geno Smith. And
if we're having the conversation of trying to go find
good offensive lineman looking in a free agency, looking at
Trice Smith, looking at all these different options to get you,
as Koobiak talked about an elite John Schneider, this is
(25:02):
your off season, man, Yes, you gotta need the hard
decisions and you've got to get us the money to
get us that line.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Well, it's clear what they need, so go get it right.
Like everybody's sidering going, do you I wonder what they need?
We all know what they need. Everyone knows what they need.
The Seahawks know what they need. Kubiak knows what he needs.
McDonald knows what he needs. So can the guy go
get it right? Can he go on a quest?
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Right?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Can they free that money right? Like like like show
me the money, John, show me the money.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Frodo and Sam went out on a quest and they
had to go through hell and back to get it
and they got the job done. He's got to go
out and just simply put and deliver for these guys.
He's the most important person right now. And it's not
even close. All right, we're gonna break, we're gonna come back.
And the Eagles had their parade today, right, so we figure, hey,
why the hell not? It's been eleven years. The fact
that we still have this on tape, by the way,
(25:46):
is unbelievable that this survived eleven years.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Here and the mothball we call our archives system.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Eleven years ago the Seahawks parade, we thought with the
Eagles having their parade today, it makes sense to take
a little bit of a jug done men relaying, and
listen to what that day sounded like at the Seahawk
parade eleven years ago. We'll do that next on ninety
three three KJRFM, Mine.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
From the R and R Foundation Specialists Broadcast Studio. Now
back to Saftie and Dick Gone your Home for the
Huskies and the Kraken Sports Radio ninety three point three
KJR FM.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
All right back here on a Friday night, Safie, Dick Jackson,
No Dick today. Kevin Harlan joins, coming up six pm hour.
But hey man, the Eagles had their parade today in Philadelphia,
and I got kind of all like everklemped about our
day that we had eleven years ago, eleven years nine
days ago, February fifth, two thy fourteen, Seahawks win forty
three to eight. We come back on a Wednesday. I
(26:45):

Good for you cold Well, it could be the only
chance we ever had to celebrate something like that in
our lifetime. You never know, man, but we thought it
was appropriate. Why should the Eagles have all the fun?
Why should their fans have all the fun? Right, let's
go back to that day eleven years ago and the
one regret that I have. I'll tell you about it
after this little clip is over here. It's actually about
(27:13):
six minutes longer, so five or six minutes long. The
radio station powers that be decided it was a good
idea to give me a wireless microphone and let me
walk down the streets and follow the parade route live
on KJR. Here's what that sounded like. Eleven years ago
and nine days right here on ninety three to three KJIRFM.
Speaker 8 (27:33):
I am walking with the Vince Lombardi trophy. It is
literally six inches from my face right now, there's a
military person. How cool is it to get to carry
that trophy? Sir?

This is beautiful that thing. I can reach out and
touch it up. I kiss that sucker. Lah, Oh, beautiful Lombardi.
Hold that thing out for people. Hold it up, yes, sir,
thank you appreciate that. That's trophy's coming through here right
now it looks like Captain and Wassack. I hope I'm
getting his nigh right up the back of his head.
(28:08):
But that trophy just came through here, and I just
gave it a freaking kiss.

time than.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
That day at the parade.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Uh, My biggest regret is I didn't put more fans
on the air, you know, just random people. What's your name,
where are you from? Tell me about this? Blah blah blah.
It was chaos, right, I mean total chaos. None of
us have ever covered anything like that before. And h
the the edits that were made there. What you don't
realize is I threw the microphone up to Doug Baldwin
(35:00):
and Jermaine Curse. They were doing the duck thing with
the wide receivers and I actually had kind of fallen
down and the truck took off, and they had a
live microphone, a live radio microphone. I don't think those
guys knew that was actually live on the ear. I'm
thinking to myself, oh my god, this is where it
all ends. This is where it all ends. But three
people that you heard from there that were no longer
with us, obviously in Tavaris Jackson, Paul Allen, and Cortez Kennedy.
(35:23):
Funnest day I've ever had as a sports fan, was
that day right there? I mean, the Super Bowl was awesome,
stressful as hell, great party afterwards, but from sun up
to sundown. Don't think I've ever been in that kind
of a mood man ever as a sports fan. And
you know what, it's time to get it back. Eleven
years later. It's time to get that back for both
(35:43):
the every team in Seattle, a place like this should
not have to wait over a decade for a major
sports championship, and the.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Guy who is clearly having a very good time, John Schneider.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Oh god, damn yeah, he was enjoying himself to good.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Talk about getting back, John Schneider, get us back. It's
up to you, buddy,
