(00:00):
Where we go. No other leaguegets their fan base to freak out like
this about their schedule, like theNFL. We're running a two hour show
tomorrow. It's unbelievable, all right. I mean, this doesn't happen in
baseball. It doesn't happen in collegefootball, doesn't happen in hockey. I
don't ever remember it happening like thisin the NBA when we had the Sonics
(00:21):
back in the day. People justlose their freaking minds for this thing and
the way that they promote it.Hey, we're gonna tell you tomorrow at
seven o'clock when you'll find out aboutthe schedule. They could even take that
to a third degree if they want. We're gonna tell you tomorrow when we'll
tell you the next time when theschedule's coming out, and people would watch
every single freaking time. They wouldjust sit there and just drool, completely
(00:45):
go nuts over just any little bitof information the NFL wants to throw their
way, So I'm with you.I would love to have it the old
way, but with social media it'snearly impossible. I don't know why the
NFL continues to allow people like AlbertBreer and Dove climbing to tweet out draft
picks before they happen. I mean, there's that to me would be an
easy thing. Just shut it down. It's it's an embargo. Nobody says
(01:08):
anything, yeah til the commissioner leaksit out. But it's just it's not
happening, like yeah, I thinkthis makes me believe that that's the way
they want it. I think theyshould do that. And you know,
I don't check social media unless youknow, when we had draft day,
we had if the Seahawks were gettingready to make a pick, or if
the Seahawks had a trade, thenJackson would talk to us down through our
(01:29):
ears because he was checking social media. It's gonna be Penis, yeah,
and so we would know when socialmedia knows. But I would much prefer
not to hear Jackson and just waituntil we pought up the commissioner to listen
for the pick. Well again,I'm sorry if this bothers you, disclaimer
turn off the radio right now.Seahawks Denver Week one. I'm hearing Seahawks
at the Lions again for the secondyear in a row, this time on
(01:52):
Monday Night Football in Week five onSeptember thirtieth, Then look, I mean,
if that's the case, that's gonnabe a rockous atmosphere. Man.
We are at that Lion game lastyear because we went to the Michigan State
game the day before and then droveto Detroit for the next day for the
game and it was an amazing atmosphere. Then it's gonna be even more nuts
now on Monday Night football. AndI I assume the Lions are gonna come
out good and pissed after what happeneda year ago, being a revenge tour,
(02:14):
maybe the entire year after that.Believe they blew at halftime. But
I can't wait for tomorrow five o'clock. And here's the funny thing. You
know, Ian and I were talkingabout this and cross talk. This is
like, and I've made this analogybefore, when you were a kid,
you get your hands on the EmpireStrikes Back VHS and then it comes out
in Laser Disc, and then itcomes out on you know, DVD plus
(02:37):
or Blu Ray or whatever. You'rebuying the same thing fifteen different ways.
And I literally have copies of EmpireJedi Star Wars on maybe eight different forms.
I got and I got Blu Ray, and I got it streaming.
I got them all, I gotany format possible. I have it.
Okay, I might even have iton like you know, what were those
(02:58):
things used to stick in your eyelike a para butulars and click on it?
Oh yeah, the few Master,Yeah, the whole movie. I'm
few Master. So we're gonna findout tomorrow at five o'clock and we might
even know the entire schedule by fiveo'clock tomorrow maybe, But you'll still pay
attention because you love the NFL.Well, anything that involves the NFL is
absolute golden man Jackson. Do dosoccer fans in England feel the same way
(03:21):
about the Premier League? I don'tanything that involves the EPO or anything that
involves Man you or Arsenal or whatever. They just go freaking nuts for it
no matter what. Yeah, Ithink there is a bit of that for
sure. It depends what specific subjectlike obviously if it's a massive game,
sure, But there's a side alsowhere it's sort of is we're talking about
(03:42):
the promotion relegation thing right where sometimesyou as a as a soccer fan,
your eye goes to an entirely differentsituation than your team because it relates to
a dramatic part of the league overall. So yes, it just depends on
what bracket of the sport and whatbracket of the of the team you're talking
about, Which is why I ama massive, massive proponent of promotion and
(04:04):
relegation in college football and I hopewe get there at some point, and
I think that would be absolutely fantastic. We could even have a relegation bowl
right before the college football player.Who would watch that? Why would you
want to be in it? Likethe loser goes home, the loser goes
down, hiner goes up? Wouldyou not watch that as a college football
(04:29):
fan? Which would you rather watchthe pool on weed Eater Bowl between two
six and six teams on December thetenth or the relegation ball on December the
tenth. So this is like thecollege football ball version of the running Man,
Right, you don't make it throughyour death, that's right, right,
that's right. The loser gets afreaking Jackson the eye. Jackson realizes
how cool it is because he paysattention to that, You know, we
(04:51):
don't pay attention to promotion and relegations. I think we could totally get into
it. But going back to theschedule. I mean, we know you
again. We can't move on fromthat yet. Okay, Well, I'm
scared. I'm scared of the Huskisof playing a game like that and lose.
We're not going to play. That'swhat I'm scared about. Eight we
would have played in a game likethat, exactly. You're kidding me two
thousand and three or two thousand andfour where they were six and six.
(05:11):
They won't relegate a team based onone bad year. Well, no,
but in that one year exactly.But if we were to create a premier
league style college football league and theHuskies were to go and over and not
win a game, they would bein that bottom tier where they would automatically
go down for relegation into D.They would be they would be risking relegation.
Yeah, yeah, they would neverthat would scare the hell out of
(05:31):
Yeah. So let me ask youa question, because most of the teams
that you're talking about, and thisis this is we're just kind of pulling
a complete ninety degree turner, theteams that you're talking about, how many
teams would be in that in thatin that championship level, say thirty two,
okay, thirty two, So yourWashington would never risk falling out of
(05:53):
the sea. I think that's crazy. If it's thirty two, that's nuts.
Well, if it's sixty four orseventy five, I can dance with
you. Now you're telling me thirtytwo. You're telling me there's no shot,
Jackson, come on, jump inhere. You're telling me there's no
shot in a thirty two team leaguethat only thirty second team isn't potentially Washington.
Of course you use cycles, thoughyou wouldn't use one year. You'd
(06:16):
use like a three. It wouldstart like a three year cycle. You
would have to be the worst teamover a three year cycle. Dick,
that's not how pro rail works.I mean pro rail is a yearly thing.
Teams go down up, and it'scrazy. I mean, you know
there's been giant Premier League teams asrecent as last year that could have been
relegated and barely survived to stay upin the Premier League. R thirty two
(06:39):
would scared a hell. So ifit's a thirty two thing, then yes,
the Huskies could absolutely be in dangerat some point of going down one
year, but they'd then be verylikely and a strong kin to go right
back up the next year. Ithink could be that team was telling anybody,
it's a lot of teams could bethat if this were to happen.
I am just telling you the powerbrokers that are the SEC and the Big
(07:00):
who would run this. They wouldnever ever allow one of their schools to
risk being relegated. It would bethe Cincinnatis of the world. I would
join the States of the world.There is a lot of teams outside the
top twenty twenty four that they wouldhave constantly rotating between them. How would
you avoid if that? I mean, if you're saying that the SEC,
(07:21):
the Big ten, whatever would neverallow a team like Washington to be in
a position where they could get dumped, how would you avoid that? How
would I avoid that? I meanthey wouldn't Ho would you avoid putting them
in that position? Never never sayingthey would never allow that to happen,
never act. So how would youdo that? To make sure that you
know, a team like Washington orMichigan or whoever or whatever would never be
(07:44):
potentially that close to the fire wherethey'd get burnt by not having year by
year relegation, That's how you wouldThe answer is by never doing it at
all and because that's why, that'swhy it will never happen, Because you're
absolutely right, the SEC in theBig Ten, for as large as they
will never allowed. Okay, becausethey don't want to have the chance at
relegation. Well then how does howdoes a team Let's say, let's say
(08:05):
the thirty second team is like Cincinnatiand they and they, it's a it's
a group of five team. Andlet's just say after three, four,
five years, they're just getting theirasks. I mean, they are one
and eleven every single year, andyou've got Washington State on the outside looking
in going ten and two every yearwe go and competing for a Division two
(08:26):
championship. We're not not. I'mspeaking on their behalf. Shouldn't they have
an opportunity to play in Division oneover Cincinnati? They should, But that's
not how we're given the power dynamicsin college football. I'm just giving Cougar
fans a shot here. Right now, as it currently sits, the Cougars
(08:48):
have a zero percent chance of evercompeting for a national championship. As it
currently sits, they're in the packfreaking two. All right, If you
had promotion and relegation, there'd atleast be a little bit of a chance
there. Well, I don't knowif I would say they never have a
chance. I mean, you playin a group of five conference, and
you go thirteen and oh in atwelve team playoff, and the facts spans.
(09:11):
I mean, right now it's twelve. It could be sixteen one day,
a thirteen and oh group of fiveteam and a twelve team playoff is
gonna make the twelfth team playoff becausethey have to. They have to.
And you know, Wazoo gets,you know, a hot shot quarterback they
get to they go to Haver andthey find a Ryan Leaf or they get
it Drew Bledsoe from Walla, Walla. They find lightning in a bottle.
They could do it. They couldtotally do it. I mean, look,
(09:31):
I just think the idea that ifwe did a thirty two team league
that Washington would never be even closeto a situation where they could potentially have
to go down. I don't agreewith that. That would drive That would
scare the hell out of me.I mean, I'm looking at Michigan football
for example. Michigan football under RichRodriguez had three years where they went three
wins, five wins, seven wins. And if you're only talking thirty two
(09:54):
teams, there may not be alot of teams that are going one and
eleven for three years in a row, right because you don't have your Vanderbilts,
you don't have your Northwesterns or Rutgerswhatever in there. So sixty four,
yes, I'd feel a lot betterabout sixty four, but thirty two
would make me very, very nervous. We talked last week a lot about
that Sporting News you know, reportthat came out that ranked all the college
(10:15):
football teams in the in the collegefootball playoff area. Do you wear Washington
ranked in that in the last yearten years? Ten? There? Ninth?
Yeah? Yeah, right ahead Oregonwhere it was tenth. I mean,
you're talking about the ninth best teamover the last decade in college football
somehow finishing thirty seconds. Okay,Now do the Tyrone Willingham years, Now
do the Achiobe years. I mean, it's gonna happen over the course of
twenty five thirty years. There's gonnabe a couple of years where things are
(10:37):
kind of horrible for you, dubs. So look, I from from a
ratings perspective, I agree with youwould be unbelievable theater. You'd be nervous.
Can you imagine us going on theroad. Where would the game be.
Let's say we're playing We're playing Illinoisin BOOKA retone whatever, and the
loser has to go to relegation.Stick you stick your thumb up your butt
bowl whatever, Yeah, you're done. I'd be in pins and needle.
(11:00):
The whole week would be unbelievable becausefantastic. Well yeah, but not if
you're lost. The next year wouldsuck. Why would anybody pay attention to
your team, dude, Jackson,I have no idea how that works.
If you have a team that hasto dry but they still love their team
if they go down the division too, right? Champions though, if you're
not used to it, though,well I have to go drop down to
(11:20):
a second division, right, Huskyfans give a damn if the Huskies were
playing for a amateur championship. Yeah, I think. I think. Maybe
it's just the mindset and Adam Nathanperfect to talk about this. Maybe it's
just the mindset with soccer fans.But it's the element where when you go
down as a team who's been upin the premier league for a long time,
you go in knowing, all right, we have a pretty darn good
(11:41):
chance to win hardware here, andyes it's hardware of a secondary league,
but at least it's a trophy.At least it's something. And I think
there is still that passion from atleast soccer fans over there to say,
yes, we're down, but westill you know, have a chance to
you know, do something and thencelebrate something at the end of the year,
celebrate doing back up to the premisyeah, Okay, then let's do
a little testimonials four nine, fourto five One. You want relegation in
(12:05):
college football? You want to adopta format where you could potentially have to
leave the big boy league and goplay in the amateur hour league for a
while. Relegation college football? Goodidea or bad idea? Four nine,
four to five one. We coulddo a poll. Make a poll,
by the way, on Twitter,Dick, go on Twitter, make a
poll and we'll put it out,all right, because I'm real curious to
see what fans think about this.We got a big show. Scott Huff

(13:31):
played a lot of right guard incollege play. I played any edition they

come my here this morning, NATget the thing on. Somebody's very athletic.
You might be able to run upor dominate at the point at that.
You know who that is right there, big boy, Christian Haynes.
That is the voice of Christian Haynes, the Seahawks newest offensive lineman out of
(13:52):
Connecticut and joining us right now onthe radio show for the first time since
he took the leap of faith toleave the bosom of mont Lake and the
comfortable surroundings of Husky football to takea chance and take his talents to the
vMac in Renton, Washington for thefirst time in his life. Our friend
Scottie Huff gets a chance to workwith the pros, and he's with us
(14:15):
right now on the radio show.Scott how are you, man? What's
going on? I'm doing great?How are you doing? Tofty good man?
It's great to hear your voice.Dick Fane is here as well,
obviously, but give us first ofall, you know I like Dick Way
more than I like you. No, I know you did, by the
way. Context please back context context. Give us your thoughts, dude,
(14:41):
give us your thoughts on what thelast couple of months man have been like
for you. You go to Alabama, you're on your way to Alabama.
You think you're going to Alabama towork with Kaitlyn Debor and then Ryan Grubb
comes calling, You get the Seahawksjob. You go back to Seattle.
Give us a take and what thelast three four months have been like for
you men? It's been crazy,but but at the end of the day,
(15:01):
it's it's worked out unbelievable and Ifeel really blessed and excited about where
we are right now. And soall's well, that ends well, and
it's great to be still in Seattlein the Pacific Northwest. What was that
brief time in Alabama? Like anystories you can tell us, because I'm
sure it's just foreign to anything we'reused to up here. Well, I
met roll Tide, Willie, youknow that was that was pretty much the
(15:24):
highlight right there. What what aboutthe NFL have you noticed that is different
from what you were able to dealwith in college? Football. I mean,
just kind of dive into the waythings are done at this level.
You haven't coached a game yet,so you'll find out more in September and
Week one against Denver, But justgive us your thoughts on the facilities,
(15:45):
give us your thoughts on the waythings work in the NFL versus what you've
been used to in college football.Well, you know, the players are
are obviously older. We're not dealingwith nil and the transfer portal, which
is you know, a positive thingin mind mind and at least for where
I'm at right now. Uh,it's really cool working for the Seahawks.
The alignment in this organization's unbelievable andyou feel like again just feel really lucky
(16:10):
and blessed to be here. Andwe got a you know, a great
young head coach with Mike McDonald andjust a bunch of great guys to be
around, and it's everything that youcould ever hope for, at least up
to this point right now. Soit's been really really exciting and a lot
of fun. Can you talk aboutthe process that got you to the vMac.
I mean, do they call youand Ryan separately or do they call
(16:33):
him? He says you know I'lltake the job, but I want this
guy, Scott Huff over here tobe with me, like, how does
that all work? Uh? Youknow, I probably don't know all the
ins and outs of how it allshook down, but I know, you
know, obviously at the end ofthe day, you know, coach Grubb
had done a great job at Washington, and and you know, he obviously
had some relationship with somebody over here, and and I was lucky enough to
(16:59):
get a phone call and get aninterview, and here I am, Well,
Scott ho is with us? AndScott, you know, the last
time you and I spoke on therecord was actually in person at the super
Dome in New Orleans before the Texasgame. And then boom, you wake
up and you're the offensive line coachat the Seahawks. So I kind of
feel like we haven't even really hada chance to kind of put a bow
on what you guys did at Washingtonbefore everything blew up and cabin took off
(17:23):
for Alabama. So before we talkabout what you got going on with the
Seahawks and everything happening over there withthe OTA is coming up, just give
us your thoughts on what you guysdid a year ago, Man, Joe
Moore Award winning offensive line Troy FottToda was obviously in the NFL. Rosen
Gartens in the NFL. You gottwo guys, actually three guys right now
in the SEC, for god's sakes, best offensive line in school history.
(17:45):
When you think about what you accomplishedlast year, man, what goes through
your mind? Uh, not tobe a downer, but I just think
about not being able to win thenational championship. To be totally honest with
you, that aside, feel veryfortunate to have worked, you know with
those guys that you just mentioned,with the Troy's, the Rogers, the
Parkers, the Nates, the Julius, the Hatchet brothers, you know,
(18:10):
just great, great young men andfeel really fortunate to got to spend a
lot of good time with them.And so it's like, you know,
it's like everything else, it's alwaysabout relationships and choosing people and and we
were really lucky to have a lotof really great people there last year at
at Washington. Well, there's alot of us, including me, that
(18:30):
thought Troy Falutana would be an awesomefit for your offensive line here and he
didn't end up coming here. Butwhat type of input were you able to
give John Schneider about your Husky players. Rosen Garden Faltana, I think I
think, you know, the personneldepartment does an amazing job over here and
that was really cool to see firsttime going through the draft, and man,
(18:52):
that the research that they do andthe digging and the questions. I
mean, they are so thorough.It is it's hats off to them and
all the work they do year afteryear. You know, there was a
lot of guys that got drafted rightfrom the from the Washington team last year,
and so I think, you know, they they listened to everything that
everybody had to say. They youknow, at the end of the day,
they were trying to find the bestfit for where this team was at.
(19:17):
And I just think that we dida great job in the draft and
address some issues that that that neededto be addressed. And just again,
man, just super excited. Yeah. I want to ask you about the
two guys you got in the draftin a second, and then about the
guys you have now in Seattle.But do you feel, like Scotty that
you need to change your approach asa coach from dealing with college kids to
(19:41):
dealing with professionals. Does your styleyou think need to change at all?
I mean, I don't. Idon't think so. I mean, like,
I think the number one thing yougot to be is you got to
be true to yourself, right,you can't be fake regardless of what you're
doing. And so I'm going tobe me and they're going to be them,
and and so far everything's been Ithink it's been really positive and so
(20:03):
I'm I'm just super fired up aboutworking with these guys. Let's talk about
the two guys you got in thedraft. First of all, Christian Haynes,
third round out of Yukon. JimMora was on our show Scott in
the Monday after the draft and hewas just drooling about this kid. So
tell us about Christian Haynes. Andthen Le Maya, who you saw a
little bit. You didn't go headto head against him, obviously, but
you saw some tape on him fromUtah. Yeah. So Christian, you
(20:26):
just pop on the tape and youjust love his style of play. I
mean, I think that was thething that really stood out to me.
And he's he's he's a physical playerand he plays that way and he looks
to finish. And I mean anyold line coach in the country would be
happy to have that that mentality anduh and so that that was the biggest
thing with him was just was justthe style of play. And uh yeah,
(20:49):
I mean and so far, youknow, we're just getting a chance
to work with them and get themtry to you know, get the offense
installed. And I mean there's justso much stuff you got to get caught
up. But everything's been really positivewith him so far, and I'm really
excited to work with him. We'regonna and then yeah, I'm sorry with
Satwa again. He was the guythat we I knew coming out of high
(21:12):
school. He was at Eisenhower HighSchool down in the i E. There.
We had had Ryan Chlady at BoiseState a bunch of years ago that
came out of that same high school, and then Ronnie Lotostel came out of
that high school, if I'm notmistaken, and he just did a great
job at Utah. I mean,he was a guy that that you know,
we got a lot of respect forthat program and how their style of
(21:33):
play. That was a tape thatwe'd always want to watch every week if
we could. And he did agood job playing tackle there for him.
He played he played some guard tooearlier in his career, and so we
feel really really fortunate to have him, excited to work with him. And
then the other guy that you're forgettingabout is Mike Dorrel from Finlay High School
or stuff excuse me, Family Collegein Ohio. And he's another guy that
(21:56):
was kind of flying under the radara little bit, uh, and we
got to see him and man,he's he's got some twitch, he's got
some some power. Got to seehim in the Hula Bowl, and so
we feel really fortunate to have himas well. And and he's got some
position flex where he could be atackling a guard and so we feel really
(22:17):
fortunate to have those three guys.And you know, again, compliments to
our personal department for for making thoseguy Seahawks. Well. One of my
favorite Huskies over the last decade iswithout question, Nick Harris. And he
signed a month after you got there. How instrumental were you bringing him back?
I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to act like
(22:37):
I got power that I don't have. I mean, you know, again,
we're trying to get the best playerswe can and you know, Nick
was a guy that's obviously that I'mobviously familiar with, and and his name
came up, and I'm like,wow, this is a great dude.
You know, he's a he's agreat player, and and so you know,
it all worked out and would justagain feel very fortunate to have him,
(22:57):
uh in the organization. Well,I'm curious, Scott against Scott Huff
is with us on the radio show, and I gotta be honest with you.
For about a half a second,I was about to start talking to
you about the Husky offensive line andwhat they're looking like for next year.
I gotta remember you're with the Seahawks, for God's sakes. But let's talk
about George Fan because George Fant wasan undrafted free agent a few years ago,
played basketball at Western Kentucky and thenturned into a football player and has
(23:19):
done pretty damn good for himself.So give us a take on how you
see George Fan fitting in with thisoffensive line. Yeah. Well, you
know what's funny is when George firstcame to Seattle, he was working with
the guy that's one of my wasone of my mentors, Howard Mudd rip
so and so there was you know, handful occasions where George actually came over
(23:41):
with Howard over to the University ofWashington and so I really kind of got
to know him a little bit overthere. And then uh again, you
know, just fortunate enough that thepersonnel department got him back over here.
And I mean he's you know,he played, uh he played a lot
last year for Houston at right tackle. He's played you know, the jumbo
tight end position. He's played lefttackle. So I mean he's a guy
(24:03):
that that you just feel super,super lucky to have in the organization.
You know, we'll see, we'llsee at the end of the day how
it all fits together. But youcan't you can't have enough of those guys
that are smart, you know,athletic, long, they can play,
they could play a lot of differentspots. So really excited about Georgia.
(24:25):
Well, Scott abe Lucas is aguy that you had to play against for
a lot of years over at WashingtonState and now he's your right tackle.
How's he doing physically and what doyou expect from him this year? As
Abbs an awesome dude again, anotherguy like you just mentioned that we got
to admire from Afar, you know, again competing against him. You know,
I can't talk about injuries, butabs stud and he's working his tail
(24:48):
off. Yeah. Has Big Olurubbed it in your face yet the Michigan
game? And if he does,we then turn around and take out your
frustrations on Abe Lucas and the AppleCup. No, it has been great.
He can't really claim it if ifwe're being honest, I mean,
he was only there for one year, so he's more Virginia than anything.
(25:10):
But uh, you know, wedrafted AJ Barner and so that you know,
that was maybe my first sniper commentat him was you know, you
got a lot to prove to makeme like it right now. So there
you go. I love it.Yeah, I love it. Yeah,
it's good stuff. It's all good. I guess the biggest question is now
that you're the Seahawk offensive line coachand you're gonna upgrade your NBA jam and

All right, we are back big. Thanks to Rerood Sports Stave Simms,
Mike Blowers, Stave Simms Melman,Aaron Goldsmith's fourth grade math teacher for
letting us use that clip from yesterday'sgame. Julio Rod Reaganz with a bomb
(27:26):
at t Mobile Park and he joinsus right now on the radio program.
Julio, it's good to have youback on the radio show. It's Softie
and Dick Faine. How are you, man, I'm not really good,
really good than you? You bet? You bet good to hear your voice.
It's been too long. We lovehaving you back on the show.
So thanks for doing this, andjust tell us about kind of the start
(27:48):
that you've had this year. Man, you're putting some work in to kind
of get things going at the plate. But give us your take on how
the first maybe month and a halfhave gone for you from your perspective.
I mean definitely, you know,like putting a lot of work in to
keep helping the team win ball gamesand just keep having fun. You know,
like this is a tough game.But at the end of the day,
like we've got to continue to work, continue to show up every day,
(28:11):
and uh, keep keep keep helpingthe team a lot. On Saturday,
you didn't get a hit, butyou had three really hard hit balls.
Can you kind of tell when you'returning it around and what indicators?
What signs tell you that you're turningit around to the plate even if you
don't get a base hit in theat bat. I mean, just like
(28:32):
you said, like whenever you're havinggood at bass, whenever you're screating up
the ball, Uh, that's kindof like an indicator, like you you're
doing the right teams I feel likethey're turning around. Point. Uh,
it's kind of you let you liveyou live it up. You live it
up for log honestly, because youcan do it as much as you want,
but like the game doesn't doesn't wantyou to get a hit that day
you want, So I feel likesaying, keep working, keep having good
(28:55):
at bads and screen up balls.I feel like that's the best indicator that
things are going well. But whenthey're going to turn around, that's how
you got Yeah, you keep hittingthe ball hard, they're gonna turn around
for sure. But you had thehome run on Sunday and it was a
great day, right, it waseighty degrees outside. It was beautiful weather.
And we've been talking about this,but it seems like forever, Julio,
But you can tell us because youhitting this park, how difficult is
(29:17):
it, honestly, man to hitin that park when it's forty five and
fifty fifty degrees out in March andmaybe April. I mean, obviously he's
not the most comfortable situation to hitout there, whenever he's cold, everything
like that. But like that's gonnaborrow the schedule, you know, like
that what those are things that wegot to continue to go through and keep
(29:38):
playing those weathers. So just honestly, just keep them playing. It doesn't
matter how cold, how warm,And it's a said you got to show
up every day. Is it justthe physical elements of the park that affect
the hitting, or does it sometimescreep into the mentality of you guys as
hitters where you're like, oh man, we're at home. We just don't
hit as well here early in theseason. Uh, not really, I
(30:03):
feel it. That's not like ourmentality. Others. We know it's a
big part, uh that we gotto hit the ball well to hit it
out. But I feel like wehave to hit it just kind of like
stay admitted to our approach and justkind of let the results the results,
kind of like feel yourself. Yeah, And that's kind of how how we
tried to do it here in thisteam. Uh. Julio Rodriguez is with
(30:23):
us on the radio show, andyou you may not keep track of this
stuff, but we do. Wehave not spoken to you on the radio
show I think since the early partof your rookie year three years ago.
Wow. Yeah, it's been it'sbeen a while. So we've Yeah,
so we got to do this moreoften. By the way, I say,
I say once a week we haveon your Your PR team may disagree
with that, but tell us aboutJulio, how has your life changed since
(30:48):
that rookie season in Seattle. Thecontract you can't go five feet without people
bugging you and you know, askingyou for a photo and autograph. You're
a superstar. Now, give usa take on just kind of how things
have changed for you off the fieldsince you were a rookie. I mean,
obviously a lot of things I've changed. I feel like the biggest,
the biggest, one of the biggestthings that probably is that people forget that
(31:10):
I'm twenty three still. You know, there's a lot of things that I
continue to work on that. There'sa lot of things that I gotta keep
working on. You know. Ifeel like people kind of seeing me as
somebody else, like or like someoneelse. So I feel like I'm still
the same kid. You know.I love the game, I love showing
up every day and like do whatit loves. And yeah, I feel
(31:32):
like a lot of a lot ofpeople just forget forget that, you know,
because oh, he's hold on nowlike this like that, like they
think about like this big star,which is okay, you know obviously,
by the same time, it's justI'm just somebody that it's just a kid
that's trying to have fun. Andlike WinCE and Bagains out here, You've
always had so much fun, particularlywith the fans. You interact with the
(31:55):
fans probably better than maybe anybody elsein Major League Baseball. Where did that?
Where did that come from? Becauseyou do it now after the contract,
you did it before the contract.Where does that come from? And
what does that do for you tokind of loosen you up and maybe take
pressure off? I mean, Ijust like having fun, you know,
a lot, having fun with thefans. I feel like I've been I've
been doing that since I was likeearlier in the Miners. I feel like
(32:19):
in the DSL, where did youhave many fans when we were played and
all that? And then as Iwas coming up with the Miners through the
Miners, I started, like somepeople start showing up other games all that.
I started like having the fun withthem and they all feel and I
feel like that's that's where we allbegin. And I just I just thought
it was cool, you know,like having a good time back there and
just kind of keep you relaxed andkeep you engaged with the people that keep
(32:42):
that show up to see you andlike see you what you do well.
Julio Rodriguez is with us, andI love, man, what you said
there about Hey, I'm twenty threeyears old. I mean, for God's
sake, I'm twenty seven years olderthan you are for trying out loud,
So I get it. And Icould not, dude, I could not
imagine being in your position at theage of twenty twenty three. And I
just wonder if you ever feel likeyou're dealing with an element of some pressure
(33:05):
with everything that's been placed upon youat such an early age. I mean,
obviously there's always some of that,you know, there's always some of
that. It could be pressure,it would be like whatever it is,
you know, But at the sametime, that's kind of the life I
chose. I just that is justsomething that I just got to continue to
keep working on, continue to keeplike obviously getting better at that. But
(33:29):
I feel like what I try todo is not even really think about all
the things that have been pledged ontome, but just like think of the
things that I enjoy how to do, and like just kind of keep doing
the best that I can with whatI like how to do, with what
I like to do, and evenwith what I enjoy to do. So
that's kind of why and how itis. It's all and just keep enjoying
(33:52):
the moment, you know, like, because this is the only life we
got and a lot of people mightthink differently, but you got to do
what's that's for your other time?Yeah, well you just said there do
things that you like to do.And we don't know a lot about Julio
the person off the field. Weknow a lot about the player, a
tremendous about you know, and welove that guy. But when when you're
(34:13):
not at the park, when you'renot playing baseball, what are the things
that you like to do that maybekind of bring you some joy when you
want to get away from the gamea little bit. I mean, I
like hanging out with my family.I play vide against my friends, Like
I go out to dinner sometimes.Man, like anything that will be normal
for a twenty three year old,That's what I like to do, you
(34:35):
know. Like I feel like,like I said, people forget that I'm
like this young, but I likeI like having fun just like a kid,
you know. Yeah, but whenmost twenty three year olds go out,
they don't have the entire restaurants staringat them, pointing saying it.
So how do you react to that? How are the fans out there when
you when you go out to dinner. I mean they'd be nice. They'd
be nice. Itsould be good.So yeah, it's good. They mean
(34:59):
they've been good. A see,a lot of people can recognize me out
there, but they've been they've beenreally good to me. Julia Rodriguez joining
us here. And you know,Scott Servis said something interesting last night after
the win. He said this mightbe the hardest working team he's ever managed.
Talk about that statement that he made. You do you see a difference
in this team? And if so, what is it? I mean,
(35:20):
it's just that, you know,like I feel like everybody just shows up
every day. You know, there'snot a day that the guys feel something
in a different way. I feeleverybody comes up, comes in to work
dedicated time, like put the timein uh to get the results that they
want, oh like to at leastput itself in the position that they want
to be uh to succeed in thisgame. And I feel that's something that
(35:42):
a lot of people might see.Its simple, But I feel like now
everybody he's able to show up everyday and continue to be consistent, continue
to work on the on the onthe same things over and over and over
because Uh, some people. Somepeople will get tired, some people like
it starts slacking up and like that. But this team is really really locking
and committed to do the right thingevery single day. Yeah. Well,
(36:02):
last night we saw a little bitof a miscommunication with you and Hanneger out
there in the outfield, and that'sthat's happened a couple of times this year.
Man tell us about kind of howyou guys are working on that to
clean that up in the outfield.I mean, it just happens, you
know. I feel like sometimes youplay in a loud place like Houston,
the way you can even hear yourselftalking, So I feel like having communication
in places like that it's very hardbecause I feel like from maybe from TV
(36:28):
and things like that, it mightseem like, oh, like they just
didn't have communication. But I mean, if you if you cannot can barely
hear why even you're saying it's itisn't sometimes hard and like it just it
just kinda happen. Is a balljust happens to be in the middle of
the two of us, things likethat, and it will happen obviously,
Like you don't want situations might haveto be happening too often, but obviously
(36:52):
that those are things that we talkabout, like we turned like improve every
single time when they happen. Andit just like with decide who's gonna go
for the ball and who's gonna stayback. Josh Rojas is tearing it up
this year. Man, what whatwhat's the difference that you've seen since he's
been here, Josh Rose, Imean he's been great. Man. Like
if you if you ever talked tothe guy, like he's somebody that always
(37:15):
come on and like no knows whathe's doing, like most what he's working
on, like say, committed tohimself, and he's definitely great, great
teammate, a great, great personto have around and just gonna talk about
the baseball game. Yeah, well, Julio Rodriguez is with us. And
again, dude, before you go, can't thank you enough for coming on.
Would love to have you on moreoften. We know you're a busy
guy. You're getting pulled in fifteenthousand different directions. But I got to
(37:37):
ask you because I think I thinkwe all agree that you chose the right
sport. There's no doubt about itthat you chose the right sport. You
signed the big contract you're set forlife, your family's set for life.
But if God did not bless youwith the baseball skills that you have,
what would Julio Rodriguez be doing ifhe was not playing baseball. That's something
I never really have to think about. Maybe learn about the world somehow,
(38:00):
you know, like turn a house, some people, learning about the world,
traveling around. Uh, just youknow, learning of all life.
I feel it that's something to die. It's really cool for me. And
yeah, something related to that.I love it. Hey man, best
of luck, thanks again for doingthis and let's talk sooner, right buddy.
Thanks Leo, perfect, thank youall right, appreciate it. Man,
(38:21):
Julio Rodriguez with us on the radioshow. Did you have a better
ambassador? No, no, youcan't, which is why it is so
impairtive that they find a way towin with this guy. I mean,
they have been blessed with a giftfrom the gods with this guy they have
because let's face it, man,King Griffy Junior at that age was a
hell of a player, best playerin baseball, but he was also not
(38:43):
Julio. Because Julio comes on theradio show. Julio is a much different
person than Ken Griffy Junior was KingGriffy Junior at times. As much as
I love him and he's my favoritebaseball player ever, was difficult to deal
with. He's not difficult to dealwith. He is a phenomenal dude.
Whatever the Mariners ask this guy todo, he'll do. He is an
(39:04):
incredible ambassador for baseball and for theMariners. So I think it's an unbelievable
gift with this guy what they have. Yeah, starting off slow, but
like he always figures it. Hefinds a way to figure it out.
He'll figure it out, but heis It is hard not to fall in
love with that guy, especially aftertalking to him. We're gonna break all
right, more on this, we'llkind of react to it, and then
we'll do some fun with audio aswell. Next on ninety three to three KJRFM
Where we go. No other leaguegets their fan base to freak out like
this about their schedule, like theNFL. We're running a two hour show
tomorrow. It's unbelievable, all right. I mean, this doesn't happen in
baseball. It doesn't happen in collegefootball, doesn't happen in hockey. I
don't ever remember it happening like thisin the NBA when we had the Sonics
(00:21):
back in the day. People justlose their freaking minds for this thing and
the way that they promote it.Hey, we're gonna tell you tomorrow at
seven o'clock when you'll find out aboutthe schedule. They could even take that
to a third degree if they want. We're gonna tell you tomorrow when we'll
tell you the next time when theschedule's coming out, and people would watch
every single freaking time. They wouldjust sit there and just drool, completely
(00:45):
go nuts over just any little bitof information the NFL wants to throw their
way, So I'm with you.I would love to have it the old
way, but with social media it'snearly impossible. I don't know why the
NFL continues to allow people like AlbertBreer and Dove climbing to tweet out draft
picks before they happen. I mean, there's that to me would be an
easy thing. Just shut it down. It's it's an embargo. Nobody says
(01:08):
anything, yeah til the commissioner leaksit out. But it's just it's not
happening, like yeah, I thinkthis makes me believe that that's the way
they want it. I think theyshould do that. And you know,
I don't check social media unless youknow, when we had draft day,
we had if the Seahawks were gettingready to make a pick, or if
the Seahawks had a trade, thenJackson would talk to us down through our
(01:29):
ears because he was checking social media. It's gonna be Penis, yeah,
and so we would know when socialmedia knows. But I would much prefer
not to hear Jackson and just waituntil we pought up the commissioner to listen
for the pick. Well again,I'm sorry if this bothers you, disclaimer
turn off the radio right now.Seahawks Denver Week one. I'm hearing Seahawks
at the Lions again for the secondyear in a row, this time on
(01:52):
Monday Night Football in Week five onSeptember thirtieth, Then look, I mean,
if that's the case, that's gonnabe a rockous atmosphere. Man.
We are at that Lion game lastyear because we went to the Michigan State
game the day before and then droveto Detroit for the next day for the
game and it was an amazing atmosphere. Then it's gonna be even more nuts
now on Monday Night football. AndI I assume the Lions are gonna come
out good and pissed after what happeneda year ago, being a revenge tour,
(02:14):
maybe the entire year after that.Believe they blew at halftime. But
I can't wait for tomorrow five o'clock. And here's the funny thing. You
know, Ian and I were talkingabout this and cross talk. This is
like, and I've made this analogybefore, when you were a kid,
you get your hands on the EmpireStrikes Back VHS and then it comes out
in Laser Disc, and then itcomes out on you know, DVD plus
(02:37):
or Blu Ray or whatever. You'rebuying the same thing fifteen different ways.
And I literally have copies of EmpireJedi Star Wars on maybe eight different forms.
I got and I got Blu Ray, and I got it streaming.
I got them all, I gotany format possible. I have it.
Okay, I might even have iton like you know, what were those
(02:58):
things used to stick in your eyelike a para butulars and click on it?
Oh yeah, the few Master,Yeah, the whole movie. I'm
few Master. So we're gonna findout tomorrow at five o'clock and we might
even know the entire schedule by fiveo'clock tomorrow maybe, But you'll still pay
attention because you love the NFL.Well, anything that involves the NFL is
absolute golden man Jackson. Do dosoccer fans in England feel the same way
(03:21):
about the Premier League? I don'tanything that involves the EPO or anything that
involves Man you or Arsenal or whatever. They just go freaking nuts for it
no matter what. Yeah, Ithink there is a bit of that for
sure. It depends what specific subjectlike obviously if it's a massive game,
sure, But there's a side alsowhere it's sort of is we're talking about
(03:42):
the promotion relegation thing right where sometimesyou as a as a soccer fan,
your eye goes to an entirely differentsituation than your team because it relates to
a dramatic part of the league overall. So yes, it just depends on
what bracket of the sport and whatbracket of the of the team you're talking
about, Which is why I ama massive, massive proponent of promotion and
(04:04):
relegation in college football and I hopewe get there at some point, and
I think that would be absolutely fantastic. We could even have a relegation bowl
right before the college football player.Who would watch that? Why would you
want to be in it? Likethe loser goes home, the loser goes
down, hiner goes up? Wouldyou not watch that as a college football
(04:29):
fan? Which would you rather watchthe pool on weed Eater Bowl between two
six and six teams on December thetenth or the relegation ball on December the
tenth. So this is like thecollege football ball version of the running Man,
Right, you don't make it throughyour death, that's right, right,
that's right. The loser gets afreaking Jackson the eye. Jackson realizes
how cool it is because he paysattention to that, You know, we
(04:51):
don't pay attention to promotion and relegations. I think we could totally get into
it. But going back to theschedule. I mean, we know you
again. We can't move on fromthat yet. Okay, Well, I'm
scared. I'm scared of the Huskisof playing a game like that and lose.
We're not going to play. That'swhat I'm scared about. Eight we
would have played in a game likethat, exactly. You're kidding me two
thousand and three or two thousand andfour where they were six and six.
(05:11):
They won't relegate a team based onone bad year. Well, no,
but in that one year exactly.But if we were to create a premier
league style college football league and theHuskies were to go and over and not
win a game, they would bein that bottom tier where they would automatically
go down for relegation into D.They would be they would be risking relegation.
Yeah, yeah, they would neverthat would scare the hell out of
(05:31):
Yeah. So let me ask youa question, because most of the teams
that you're talking about, and thisis this is we're just kind of pulling
a complete ninety degree turner, theteams that you're talking about, how many
teams would be in that in thatin that championship level, say thirty two,
okay, thirty two, So yourWashington would never risk falling out of
(05:53):
the sea. I think that's crazy. If it's thirty two, that's nuts.
Well, if it's sixty four orseventy five, I can dance with
you. Now you're telling me thirtytwo. You're telling me there's no shot,
Jackson, come on, jump inhere. You're telling me there's no
shot in a thirty two team leaguethat only thirty second team isn't potentially Washington.
Of course you use cycles, thoughyou wouldn't use one year. You'd
(06:16):
use like a three. It wouldstart like a three year cycle. You
would have to be the worst teamover a three year cycle. Dick,
that's not how pro rail works.I mean pro rail is a yearly thing.
Teams go down up, and it'scrazy. I mean, you know
there's been giant Premier League teams asrecent as last year that could have been
relegated and barely survived to stay upin the Premier League. R thirty two
(06:39):
would scared a hell. So ifit's a thirty two thing, then yes,
the Huskies could absolutely be in dangerat some point of going down one
year, but they'd then be verylikely and a strong kin to go right
back up the next year. Ithink could be that team was telling anybody,
it's a lot of teams could bethat if this were to happen.
I am just telling you the powerbrokers that are the SEC and the Big
(07:00):
who would run this. They wouldnever ever allow one of their schools to
risk being relegated. It would bethe Cincinnatis of the world. I would
join the States of the world.There is a lot of teams outside the
top twenty twenty four that they wouldhave constantly rotating between them. How would
you avoid if that? I mean, if you're saying that the SEC,
(07:21):
the Big ten, whatever would neverallow a team like Washington to be in
a position where they could get dumped, how would you avoid that? How
would I avoid that? I meanthey wouldn't Ho would you avoid putting them
in that position? Never never sayingthey would never allow that to happen,
never act. So how would youdo that? To make sure that you
know, a team like Washington orMichigan or whoever or whatever would never be
(07:44):
potentially that close to the fire wherethey'd get burnt by not having year by
year relegation, That's how you wouldThe answer is by never doing it at
all and because that's why, that'swhy it will never happen, Because you're
absolutely right, the SEC in theBig Ten, for as large as they
will never allowed. Okay, becausethey don't want to have the chance at
relegation. Well then how does howdoes a team Let's say, let's say
(08:05):
the thirty second team is like Cincinnatiand they and they, it's a it's
a group of five team. Andlet's just say after three, four,
five years, they're just getting theirasks. I mean, they are one
and eleven every single year, andyou've got Washington State on the outside looking
in going ten and two every yearwe go and competing for a Division two
(08:26):
championship. We're not not. I'mspeaking on their behalf. Shouldn't they have
an opportunity to play in Division oneover Cincinnati? They should, But that's
not how we're given the power dynamicsin college football. I'm just giving Cougar
fans a shot here. Right now, as it currently sits, the Cougars
(08:48):
have a zero percent chance of evercompeting for a national championship. As it
currently sits, they're in the packfreaking two. All right, If you
had promotion and relegation, there'd atleast be a little bit of a chance
there. Well, I don't knowif I would say they never have a
chance. I mean, you playin a group of five conference, and
you go thirteen and oh in atwelve team playoff, and the facts spans.
(09:11):
I mean, right now it's twelve. It could be sixteen one day,
a thirteen and oh group of fiveteam and a twelve team playoff is
gonna make the twelfth team playoff becausethey have to. They have to.
And you know, Wazoo gets,you know, a hot shot quarterback they
get to they go to Haver andthey find a Ryan Leaf or they get
it Drew Bledsoe from Walla, Walla. They find lightning in a bottle.
They could do it. They couldtotally do it. I mean, look,
(09:31):
I just think the idea that ifwe did a thirty two team league
that Washington would never be even closeto a situation where they could potentially have
to go down. I don't agreewith that. That would drive That would
scare the hell out of me.I mean, I'm looking at Michigan football
for example. Michigan football under RichRodriguez had three years where they went three
wins, five wins, seven wins. And if you're only talking thirty two
(09:54):
teams, there may not be alot of teams that are going one and
eleven for three years in a row, right because you don't have your Vanderbilts,
you don't have your Northwesterns or Rutgerswhatever in there. So sixty four,
yes, I'd feel a lot betterabout sixty four, but thirty two
would make me very, very nervous. We talked last week a lot about
that Sporting News you know, reportthat came out that ranked all the college
(10:15):
football teams in the in the collegefootball playoff area. Do you wear Washington
ranked in that in the last yearten years? Ten? There? Ninth?
Yeah? Yeah, right ahead Oregonwhere it was tenth. I mean,
you're talking about the ninth best teamover the last decade in college football
somehow finishing thirty seconds. Okay,Now do the Tyrone Willingham years, Now
do the Achiobe years. I mean, it's gonna happen over the course of
twenty five thirty years. There's gonnabe a couple of years where things are
(10:37):
kind of horrible for you, dubs. So look, I from from a
ratings perspective, I agree with youwould be unbelievable theater. You'd be nervous.
Can you imagine us going on theroad. Where would the game be.
Let's say we're playing We're playing Illinoisin BOOKA retone whatever, and the
loser has to go to relegation.Stick you stick your thumb up your butt
bowl whatever, Yeah, you're done. I'd be in pins and needle.
(11:00):
The whole week would be unbelievable becausefantastic. Well yeah, but not if
you're lost. The next year wouldsuck. Why would anybody pay attention to
your team, dude, Jackson,I have no idea how that works.
If you have a team that hasto dry but they still love their team
if they go down the division too, right? Champions though, if you're
not used to it, though,well I have to go drop down to
(11:20):
a second division, right, Huskyfans give a damn if the Huskies were
playing for a amateur championship. Yeah, I think. I think. Maybe
it's just the mindset and Adam Nathanperfect to talk about this. Maybe it's
just the mindset with soccer fans.But it's the element where when you go
down as a team who's been upin the premier league for a long time,
you go in knowing, all right, we have a pretty darn good
(11:41):
chance to win hardware here, andyes it's hardware of a secondary league,
but at least it's a trophy.At least it's something. And I think
there is still that passion from atleast soccer fans over there to say,
yes, we're down, but westill you know, have a chance to
you know, do something and thencelebrate something at the end of the year,
celebrate doing back up to the premisyeah, Okay, then let's do
a little testimonials four nine, fourto five One. You want relegation in
(12:05):
college football? You want to adopta format where you could potentially have to
leave the big boy league and goplay in the amateur hour league for a
while. Relegation college football? Goodidea or bad idea? Four nine,
four to five one. We coulddo a poll. Make a poll,
by the way, on Twitter,Dick, go on Twitter, make a

(13:31):
played a lot of right guard incollege play. I played any edition they
named me to play. Christian,how did you describe your game? I
come my here this morning, NATget the thing on. Somebody's very athletic.
You might be able to run upor dominate at the point at that.
You know who that is right there, big boy, Christian Haynes.
That is the voice of Christian Haynes, the Seahawks newest offensive lineman out of
(13:52):
Connecticut and joining us right now onthe radio show for the first time since
he took the leap of faith toleave the bosom of mont Lake and the
comfortable surroundings of Husky football to takea chance and take his talents to the
vMac in Renton, Washington for thefirst time in his life. Our friend
Scottie Huff gets a chance to workwith the pros, and he's with us
(14:15):
right now on the radio show.Scott how are you, man? What's
going on? I'm doing great?How are you doing? Tofty good man?
It's great to hear your voice.Dick Fane is here as well,
obviously, but give us first ofall, you know I like Dick Way
more than I like you. No, I know you did, by the
way. Context please back context context. Give us your thoughts, dude,
(14:41):
give us your thoughts on what thelast couple of months man have been like
for you. You go to Alabama, you're on your way to Alabama.
You think you're going to Alabama towork with Kaitlyn Debor and then Ryan Grubb
comes calling, You get the Seahawksjob. You go back to Seattle.
Give us a take and what thelast three four months have been like for
you men? It's been crazy,but but at the end of the day,
(15:01):
it's it's worked out unbelievable and Ifeel really blessed and excited about where
we are right now. And soall's well, that ends well, and
it's great to be still in Seattlein the Pacific Northwest. What was that
brief time in Alabama? Like anystories you can tell us, because I'm
sure it's just foreign to anything we'reused to up here. Well, I
met roll Tide, Willie, youknow that was that was pretty much the
(15:24):
highlight right there. What what aboutthe NFL have you noticed that is different
from what you were able to dealwith in college? Football. I mean,
just kind of dive into the waythings are done at this level.
You haven't coached a game yet,so you'll find out more in September and
Week one against Denver, But justgive us your thoughts on the facilities,
(15:45):
give us your thoughts on the waythings work in the NFL versus what you've
been used to in college football.Well, you know, the players are
are obviously older. We're not dealingwith nil and the transfer portal, which
is you know, a positive thingin mind mind and at least for where
I'm at right now. Uh,it's really cool working for the Seahawks.
The alignment in this organization's unbelievable andyou feel like again just feel really lucky
(16:10):
and blessed to be here. Andwe got a you know, a great
young head coach with Mike McDonald andjust a bunch of great guys to be
around, and it's everything that youcould ever hope for, at least up
to this point right now. Soit's been really really exciting and a lot
of fun. Can you talk aboutthe process that got you to the vMac.
I mean, do they call youand Ryan separately or do they call
(16:33):
him? He says you know I'lltake the job, but I want this
guy, Scott Huff over here tobe with me, like, how does
that all work? Uh? Youknow, I probably don't know all the
ins and outs of how it allshook down, but I know, you
know, obviously at the end ofthe day, you know, coach Grubb
had done a great job at Washington, and and you know, he obviously
had some relationship with somebody over here, and and I was lucky enough to
(16:59):
get a phone call and get aninterview, and here I am, Well,
Scott ho is with us? AndScott, you know, the last
time you and I spoke on therecord was actually in person at the super
Dome in New Orleans before the Texasgame. And then boom, you wake
up and you're the offensive line coachat the Seahawks. So I kind of
feel like we haven't even really hada chance to kind of put a bow
on what you guys did at Washingtonbefore everything blew up and cabin took off
(17:23):
for Alabama. So before we talkabout what you got going on with the
Seahawks and everything happening over there withthe OTA is coming up, just give
us your thoughts on what you guysdid a year ago, Man, Joe
Moore Award winning offensive line Troy FottToda was obviously in the NFL. Rosen
Gartens in the NFL. You gottwo guys, actually three guys right now
in the SEC, for god's sakes, best offensive line in school history.
(17:45):
When you think about what you accomplishedlast year, man, what goes through
your mind? Uh, not tobe a downer, but I just think
about not being able to win thenational championship. To be totally honest with
you, that aside, feel veryfortunate to have worked, you know with
those guys that you just mentioned,with the Troy's, the Rogers, the
Parkers, the Nates, the Julius, the Hatchet brothers, you know,
(18:10):
just great, great young men andfeel really fortunate to got to spend a
lot of good time with them.And so it's like, you know,
it's like everything else, it's alwaysabout relationships and choosing people and and we
were really lucky to have a lotof really great people there last year at
at Washington. Well, there's alot of us, including me, that
(18:30):
thought Troy Falutana would be an awesomefit for your offensive line here and he
didn't end up coming here. Butwhat type of input were you able to
give John Schneider about your Husky players. Rosen Garden Faltana, I think I
think, you know, the personneldepartment does an amazing job over here and
that was really cool to see firsttime going through the draft, and man,
(18:52):
that the research that they do andthe digging and the questions. I
mean, they are so thorough.It is it's hats off to them and
all the work they do year afteryear. You know, there was a
lot of guys that got drafted rightfrom the from the Washington team last year,
and so I think, you know, they they listened to everything that
everybody had to say. They youknow, at the end of the day,
they were trying to find the bestfit for where this team was at.
(19:17):
And I just think that we dida great job in the draft and
address some issues that that that neededto be addressed. And just again,
man, just super excited. Yeah. I want to ask you about the
two guys you got in the draftin a second, and then about the
guys you have now in Seattle.But do you feel, like Scotty that
you need to change your approach asa coach from dealing with college kids to
(19:41):
dealing with professionals. Does your styleyou think need to change at all?
I mean, I don't. Idon't think so. I mean, like,
I think the number one thing yougot to be is you got to
be true to yourself, right,you can't be fake regardless of what you're
doing. And so I'm going tobe me and they're going to be them,
and and so far everything's been Ithink it's been really positive and so
(20:03):
I'm I'm just super fired up aboutworking with these guys. Let's talk about
the two guys you got in thedraft. First of all, Christian Haynes,
third round out of Yukon. JimMora was on our show Scott in
the Monday after the draft and hewas just drooling about this kid. So
tell us about Christian Haynes. Andthen Le Maya, who you saw a
little bit. You didn't go headto head against him, obviously, but
you saw some tape on him fromUtah. Yeah. So Christian, you
(20:26):
just pop on the tape and youjust love his style of play. I
mean, I think that was thething that really stood out to me.
And he's he's he's a physical playerand he plays that way and he looks
to finish. And I mean anyold line coach in the country would be
happy to have that that mentality anduh and so that that was the biggest
thing with him was just was justthe style of play. And uh yeah,
(20:49):
I mean and so far, youknow, we're just getting a chance
to work with them and get themtry to you know, get the offense
installed. And I mean there's justso much stuff you got to get caught
up. But everything's been really positivewith him so far, and I'm really
excited to work with him. We'regonna and then yeah, I'm sorry with
Satwa again. He was the guythat we I knew coming out of high
(21:12):
school. He was at Eisenhower HighSchool down in the i E. There.
We had had Ryan Chlady at BoiseState a bunch of years ago that
came out of that same high school, and then Ronnie Lotostel came out of
that high school, if I'm notmistaken, and he just did a great
job at Utah. I mean,he was a guy that that you know,
we got a lot of respect forthat program and how their style of
(21:33):
play. That was a tape thatwe'd always want to watch every week if
we could. And he did agood job playing tackle there for him.
He played he played some guard tooearlier in his career, and so we
feel really really fortunate to have him, excited to work with him. And
then the other guy that you're forgettingabout is Mike Dorrel from Finlay High School
or stuff excuse me, Family Collegein Ohio. And he's another guy that
(21:56):
was kind of flying under the radara little bit, uh, and we
got to see him and man,he's he's got some twitch, he's got
some some power. Got to seehim in the Hula Bowl, and so
we feel really fortunate to have himas well. And and he's got some
position flex where he could be atackling a guard and so we feel really
(22:17):
fortunate to have those three guys.And you know, again, compliments to
our personal department for for making thoseguy Seahawks. Well. One of my
favorite Huskies over the last decade iswithout question, Nick Harris. And he
signed a month after you got there. How instrumental were you bringing him back?
I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to act like
(22:37):
I got power that I don't have. I mean, you know, again,
we're trying to get the best playerswe can and you know, Nick
was a guy that's obviously that I'mobviously familiar with, and and his name
came up, and I'm like,wow, this is a great dude.
You know, he's a he's agreat player, and and so you know,
it all worked out and would justagain feel very fortunate to have him,
(22:57):
uh in the organization. Well,I'm curious, Scott against Scott Huff
is with us on the radio show, and I gotta be honest with you.
For about a half a second,I was about to start talking to
you about the Husky offensive line andwhat they're looking like for next year.
I gotta remember you're with the Seahawks, for God's sakes. But let's talk
about George Fan because George Fant wasan undrafted free agent a few years ago,
played basketball at Western Kentucky and thenturned into a football player and has
(23:19):
done pretty damn good for himself.So give us a take on how you
see George Fan fitting in with thisoffensive line. Yeah. Well, you
know what's funny is when George firstcame to Seattle, he was working with
the guy that's one of my wasone of my mentors, Howard Mudd rip
so and so there was you know, handful occasions where George actually came over
(23:41):
with Howard over to the University ofWashington and so I really kind of got
to know him a little bit overthere. And then uh again, you
know, just fortunate enough that thepersonnel department got him back over here.
And I mean he's you know,he played, uh he played a lot
last year for Houston at right tackle. He's played you know, the jumbo
tight end position. He's played lefttackle. So I mean he's a guy
(24:03):
that that you just feel super,super lucky to have in the organization.
You know, we'll see, we'llsee at the end of the day how
it all fits together. But youcan't you can't have enough of those guys
that are smart, you know,athletic, long, they can play,
they could play a lot of differentspots. So really excited about Georgia.
(24:25):
Well, Scott abe Lucas is aguy that you had to play against for
a lot of years over at WashingtonState and now he's your right tackle.
How's he doing physically and what doyou expect from him this year? As
Abbs an awesome dude again, anotherguy like you just mentioned that we got
to admire from Afar, you know, again competing against him. You know,
I can't talk about injuries, butabs stud and he's working his tail
(24:48):
off. Yeah. Has Big Olurubbed it in your face yet the Michigan
game? And if he does,we then turn around and take out your
frustrations on Abe Lucas and the AppleCup. No, it has been great.
He can't really claim it if ifwe're being honest, I mean,
he was only there for one year, so he's more Virginia than anything.
(25:10):
But uh, you know, wedrafted AJ Barner and so that you know,
that was maybe my first sniper commentat him was you know, you
got a lot to prove to makeme like it right now. So there
you go. I love it.Yeah, I love it. Yeah,
it's good stuff. It's all good. I guess the biggest question is now
that you're the Seahawk offensive line coachand you're gonna upgrade your NBA jam and
big Buck Hunter machines and your familyroom or or do those stay there?
(25:33):
Uh? You forgot NFL Blitz aswell. The next one, the next
one, the next one. Wegot to get his golden tea. That's
the original right there for me.Gold Yeah. Love it. You can
afford it now, man, noquestion. Don't say that you don't know
nothing about what I got going on. I got I spend more time at
(25:56):
the Little League baseball field, oras much time as I can right now.
So shout out the Wooden Bill LittleLeague. There you go. I
love it, Hey, dude,We're proud of you, man. I
can't wait to see at the vMAC walking around, uh, bumping into
you during practice and looking forward togetting this thing going at September. So
congratulations, dude, awesome stuff andwe'll talk down the road. Man.

All right, we are back big. Thanks to Rerood Sports Stave Simms,
Mike Blowers, Stave Simms Melman,Aaron Goldsmith's fourth grade math teacher for

(27:26):

Julio, it's good to have youback on the radio show. It's Softie
and Dick Faine. How are you, man, I'm not really good,
really good than you? You bet? You bet good to hear your voice.
It's been too long. We lovehaving you back on the show.
So thanks for doing this, andjust tell us about kind of the start
(27:48):
that you've had this year. Man, you're putting some work in to kind
of get things going at the plate. But give us your take on how
the first maybe month and a halfhave gone for you from your perspective.
I mean definitely, you know,like putting a lot of work in to
keep helping the team win ball gamesand just keep having fun. You know,
like this is a tough game.But at the end of the day,
like we've got to continue to work, continue to show up every day,
(28:11):
and uh, keep keep keep helpingthe team a lot. On Saturday,
you didn't get a hit, butyou had three really hard hit balls.
Can you kind of tell when you'returning it around and what indicators?
What signs tell you that you're turningit around to the plate even if you
don't get a base hit in theat bat. I mean, just like
(28:32):
you said, like whenever you're havinggood at bass, whenever you're screating up
the ball, Uh, that's kindof like an indicator, like you you're
doing the right teams I feel likethey're turning around. Point. Uh,
it's kind of you let you liveyou live it up. You live it
up for log honestly, because youcan do it as much as you want,
but like the game doesn't doesn't wantyou to get a hit that day
you want, So I feel likesaying, keep working, keep having good
(28:55):
at bads and screen up balls.I feel like that's the best indicator that
things are going well. But whenthey're going to turn around, that's how
you got Yeah, you keep hittingthe ball hard, they're gonna turn around
for sure. But you had thehome run on Sunday and it was a
great day, right, it waseighty degrees outside. It was beautiful weather.
And we've been talking about this,but it seems like forever, Julio,
But you can tell us because youhitting this park, how difficult is
(29:17):
it, honestly, man to hitin that park when it's forty five and
fifty fifty degrees out in March andmaybe April. I mean, obviously he's
not the most comfortable situation to hitout there, whenever he's cold, everything
like that. But like that's gonnaborrow the schedule, you know, like
that what those are things that wegot to continue to go through and keep
(29:38):
playing those weathers. So just honestly, just keep them playing. It doesn't
matter how cold, how warm,And it's a said you got to show
up every day. Is it justthe physical elements of the park that affect
the hitting, or does it sometimescreep into the mentality of you guys as
hitters where you're like, oh man, we're at home. We just don't
hit as well here early in theseason. Uh, not really, I
(30:03):
feel it. That's not like ourmentality. Others. We know it's a
big part, uh that we gotto hit the ball well to hit it
out. But I feel like wehave to hit it just kind of like
stay admitted to our approach and justkind of let the results the results,
kind of like feel yourself. Yeah, And that's kind of how how we
tried to do it here in thisteam. Uh. Julio Rodriguez is with
(30:23):
us on the radio show, andyou you may not keep track of this
stuff, but we do. Wehave not spoken to you on the radio
show I think since the early partof your rookie year three years ago.
Wow. Yeah, it's been it'sbeen a while. So we've Yeah,
so we got to do this moreoften. By the way, I say,
I say once a week we haveon your Your PR team may disagree
with that, but tell us aboutJulio, how has your life changed since
(30:48):
that rookie season in Seattle. Thecontract you can't go five feet without people
bugging you and you know, askingyou for a photo and autograph. You're
a superstar. Now, give usa take on just kind of how things
have changed for you off the fieldsince you were a rookie. I mean,
obviously a lot of things I've changed. I feel like the biggest,
the biggest, one of the biggestthings that probably is that people forget that
(31:10):
I'm twenty three still. You know, there's a lot of things that I
continue to work on that. There'sa lot of things that I gotta keep
working on. You know. Ifeel like people kind of seeing me as
somebody else, like or like someoneelse. So I feel like I'm still
the same kid. You know.I love the game, I love showing
up every day and like do whatit loves. And yeah, I feel
(31:32):
like a lot of a lot ofpeople just forget forget that, you know,
because oh, he's hold on nowlike this like that, like they
think about like this big star,which is okay, you know obviously,
by the same time, it's justI'm just somebody that it's just a kid
that's trying to have fun. Andlike WinCE and Bagains out here, You've
always had so much fun, particularlywith the fans. You interact with the
(31:55):
fans probably better than maybe anybody elsein Major League Baseball. Where did that?
Where did that come from? Becauseyou do it now after the contract,
you did it before the contract.Where does that come from? And
what does that do for you tokind of loosen you up and maybe take
pressure off? I mean, Ijust like having fun, you know,
a lot, having fun with thefans. I feel like I've been I've
been doing that since I was likeearlier in the Miners. I feel like
(32:19):
in the DSL, where did youhave many fans when we were played and
all that? And then as Iwas coming up with the Miners through the
Miners, I started, like somepeople start showing up other games all that.
I started like having the fun withthem and they all feel and I
feel like that's that's where we allbegin. And I just I just thought
it was cool, you know,like having a good time back there and
just kind of keep you relaxed andkeep you engaged with the people that keep
(32:42):
that show up to see you andlike see you what you do well.
Julio Rodriguez is with us, andI love, man, what you said
there about Hey, I'm twenty threeyears old. I mean, for God's
sake, I'm twenty seven years olderthan you are for trying out loud,
So I get it. And Icould not, dude, I could not
imagine being in your position at theage of twenty twenty three. And I
just wonder if you ever feel likeyou're dealing with an element of some pressure
(33:05):
with everything that's been placed upon youat such an early age. I mean,
obviously there's always some of that,you know, there's always some of
that. It could be pressure,it would be like whatever it is,
you know, But at the sametime, that's kind of the life I
chose. I just that is justsomething that I just got to continue to
keep working on, continue to keeplike obviously getting better at that. But
(33:29):
I feel like what I try todo is not even really think about all
the things that have been pledged ontome, but just like think of the
things that I enjoy how to do, and like just kind of keep doing
the best that I can with whatI like how to do, with what
I like to do, and evenwith what I enjoy to do. So
that's kind of why and how itis. It's all and just keep enjoying
(33:52):
the moment, you know, like, because this is the only life we
got and a lot of people mightthink differently, but you got to do
what's that's for your other time?Yeah, well you just said there do
things that you like to do.And we don't know a lot about Julio
the person off the field. Weknow a lot about the player, a
tremendous about you know, and welove that guy. But when when you're
(34:13):
not at the park, when you'renot playing baseball, what are the things
that you like to do that maybekind of bring you some joy when you
want to get away from the gamea little bit. I mean, I
like hanging out with my family.I play vide against my friends, Like
I go out to dinner sometimes.Man, like anything that will be normal
for a twenty three year old,That's what I like to do, you
(34:35):
know. Like I feel like,like I said, people forget that I'm
like this young, but I likeI like having fun just like a kid,
you know. Yeah, but whenmost twenty three year olds go out,
they don't have the entire restaurants staringat them, pointing saying it.
So how do you react to that? How are the fans out there when
you when you go out to dinner. I mean they'd be nice. They'd
be nice. Itsould be good.So yeah, it's good. They mean
(34:59):
they've been good. A see,a lot of people can recognize me out
there, but they've been they've beenreally good to me. Julia Rodriguez joining
us here. And you know,Scott Servis said something interesting last night after
the win. He said this mightbe the hardest working team he's ever managed.
Talk about that statement that he made. You do you see a difference
in this team? And if so, what is it? I mean,
(35:20):
it's just that, you know,like I feel like everybody just shows up
every day. You know, there'snot a day that the guys feel something
in a different way. I feeleverybody comes up, comes in to work
dedicated time, like put the timein uh to get the results that they
want, oh like to at leastput itself in the position that they want
to be uh to succeed in thisgame. And I feel that's something that
(35:42):
a lot of people might see.Its simple, But I feel like now
everybody he's able to show up everyday and continue to be consistent, continue
to work on the on the onthe same things over and over and over
because Uh, some people. Somepeople will get tired, some people like
it starts slacking up and like that. But this team is really really locking
and committed to do the right thingevery single day. Yeah. Well,
(36:02):
last night we saw a little bitof a miscommunication with you and Hanneger out
there in the outfield, and that'sthat's happened a couple of times this year.
Man tell us about kind of howyou guys are working on that to
clean that up in the outfield.I mean, it just happens, you
know. I feel like sometimes youplay in a loud place like Houston,
the way you can even hear yourselftalking, So I feel like having communication
in places like that it's very hardbecause I feel like from maybe from TV
(36:28):
and things like that, it mightseem like, oh, like they just
didn't have communication. But I mean, if you if you cannot can barely
hear why even you're saying it's itisn't sometimes hard and like it just it
just kinda happen. Is a balljust happens to be in the middle of
the two of us, things likethat, and it will happen obviously,
Like you don't want situations might haveto be happening too often, but obviously
(36:52):
that those are things that we talkabout, like we turned like improve every
single time when they happen. Andit just like with decide who's gonna go
for the ball and who's gonna stayback. Josh Rojas is tearing it up
this year. Man, what whatwhat's the difference that you've seen since he's
been here, Josh Rose, Imean he's been great. Man. Like
if you if you ever talked tothe guy, like he's somebody that always
(37:15):
come on and like no knows whathe's doing, like most what he's working
on, like say, committed tohimself, and he's definitely great, great
teammate, a great, great personto have around and just gonna talk about
the baseball game. Yeah, well, Julio Rodriguez is with us. And
again, dude, before you go, can't thank you enough for coming on.
Would love to have you on moreoften. We know you're a busy
guy. You're getting pulled in fifteenthousand different directions. But I got to
(37:37):
ask you because I think I thinkwe all agree that you chose the right
sport. There's no doubt about itthat you chose the right sport. You
signed the big contract you're set forlife, your family's set for life.
But if God did not bless youwith the baseball skills that you have,
what would Julio Rodriguez be doing ifhe was not playing baseball. That's something
I never really have to think about. Maybe learn about the world somehow,
(38:00):
you know, like turn a house, some people, learning about the world,
traveling around. Uh, just youknow, learning of all life.
I feel it that's something to die. It's really cool for me. And
yeah, something related to that.I love it. Hey man, best
of luck, thanks again for doingthis and let's talk sooner, right buddy.
Thanks Leo, perfect, thank youall right, appreciate it. Man,
(38:21):
Julio Rodriguez with us on the radioshow. Did you have a better
ambassador? No, no, youcan't, which is why it is so
impairtive that they find a way towin with this guy. I mean,
they have been blessed with a giftfrom the gods with this guy they have
because let's face it, man,King Griffy Junior at that age was a
hell of a player, best playerin baseball, but he was also not
(38:43):
Julio. Because Julio comes on theradio show. Julio is a much different
person than Ken Griffy Junior was KingGriffy Junior at times. As much as
I love him and he's my favoritebaseball player ever, was difficult to deal
with. He's not difficult to dealwith. He is a phenomenal dude.
Whatever the Mariners ask this guy todo, he'll do. He is an
(39:04):
incredible ambassador for baseball and for theMariners. So I think it's an unbelievable
gift with this guy what they have. Yeah, starting off slow, but
like he always figures it. Hefinds a way to figure it out.
He'll figure it out, but heis It is hard not to fall in
love with that guy, especially aftertalking to him. We're gonna break all
right, more on this, we'llkind of react to it, and then
we'll do some fun with audio aswell. Next on ninety three to three KJRFM
