Headlines headlines right to you by Frost Brewed cores Light.
You can choose chill, crack and lost in Minnesota. It
was a wild last night, five to six lot is
it early the sixth loss in a row? You know
what the television host should know that feels that way.
I'll go with you next up tomorrow and against us feelings,
I'm going with what you wrote. I'm I'm Ron Bergen
to here. Mariners losing Texas three to four straight loss?

(00:27):
Are we sure I'm kidding? NFL Totle things the NFL
and I Atlanta Falcons coach Devin Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday,
the EDG rusher James Pierce is not with the team
that started a voluntary offseason workout plan. They got more issues.
He Pierce has all kinds of legal issues. Cale McGarry,
the former Washington Husky Morris a Trophy Award winner as well,

(00:48):
retiring after just six years in the league, had a
bad leg injury last year. MLB Ricky sures up Connor
Griffin and the Pittsburgh Parts, and you're hamming at nine year,
hundred and forty million dollar extension, walking up the top
prospect in less than a week after his major league debut.
In addition to all that, we're on Master's Eve tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're gonna cue that music tomorrow, Yes we will.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Let's go, here we go. We have Greg co Cell
coming up here in just a few minutes, our buddy
Greg Cosel from NFL Films, ESPN Matchup Show. We're gonna
talk NFL Draft obviously with him, we're gonna talk about
edge rushers today, and there's a lot of there's a
lot of conversation out there. One of the things I
want to talk about with him is what an edge

(01:32):
rusher is even now, because it used to be back
in the day, when you talk about an edge rusher
in the NFL, it is a defensive end. And it was.
They had every team played a four to three. He
had a defensive end, a defensive tackle, defensive tackle, defensive end,
or nose guard, whatever you want to call the two
guys in the interior. But you had two defensive ends
and those guys were tasked tasked with pass rushing. That

(01:54):
was what their job was. And nowadays there's different formations,
there's a five to two, there's an und front, over front,
blah blah blah, all these different things, and that's why
that's why we do hardcore football. So we have a
few million on. But it was interesting with the Seahawks
last year. Their top two sack guys both were sub
ten sacks. Nobody had double digit sacks for Seattle. They
did it by committee. The best defense in the NFL, right,
did it by committee. And they did have guys obviously

(02:18):
that were on the edge, DUOSU de law guys like that,
Mafe Hall, et cetera. But they got some of their
best pass rushing came from the inside, Reed Murphy guys
like that. So you know, we'll we'll talk to Greg
about kind of what fits here in Seattle some of
the top guys. I think that's one of those positions

(02:39):
of not as it not only is it a position
of need, it's also a position that they're going to
go hard after and try to find some deaf boy
in Mafe leaving obviously, because you the whole thing about
you know, getting got you know, the best player available
and all that kind of stuff, like the best player
available whenever they pick and I'm assuming they're not going
to pick at thirty two if it's a tight end.
They're not taking a tight end, right, They're not. They

(02:59):
got Barner, they got a Royal. They're not going to
tight end. They're probably not going probably not going to
go down the quarterback Rod. They've got Milroe as a
development guy, and they got locked obviously along with with
Sam Darnold. So best player available, what do you need?
You need a corner to get some depth and maybe
some competition for Joe after a one left. Probably could

(03:22):
use a safety, Certainly could use some depth linebacker. Probably
don't need a wide receiver, running back, edge rusher top
of the list, So we'll talk to him about that.
There's a lot of guys out there. I'm going to
ask about ubib Bin Ruby Baine is not going to
come here to Seattle. He's gonna be long gone, but
I want to ask hibout Banks. I think he's one
of the most talked about guys in the draft. A
short arm guy. I think back to the days of
Melvin Ingram looked like a t Rex, a little short arms.

(03:44):
But you know, rubyen Bain's a guy that we taught.
But there's other guys, if Mark's listening, if he's driving home, MJ.
If you're listening, yes, I'm gonna ask about a keen
messador from Miami. I think he's a guy that he
projects to be late first maybe early mid second round.
That's a guy that would be there for Seattle. No, No,
not at all, Jess God, I'm gonna go through the list.

(04:08):
Miami football, Arkansas basketball, Knicks basketball, Okay, okay, yeah, that's
what we like.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
I just needed to make sure I had it all right.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know who his baseball team is, a mat Seasons?
Is he a met guy? Yeah? You guys share that
love for the Tooka.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I know.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Good.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Anyway, we'll get to the defensive line coming up in
just a couple of seconds. We'll talk about running backs
a little bit. With we're gonna all heavy draft today.
We'll hit some running back conversation with our guy Corbyn
Smith coming up at two o'clock today as well. And
Corbyn used to coach running backs, something he's very keen
on likes to talk about. So we'll do that with
Corbyn coming up at two pm today at we're gonna

(04:54):
jump down a road we don't really play a lot
of post game sound all the time on the radio station.
But Laine Lambert last night kind of was a guy
that we need to hear from him. He was none
too pleased after the Cracking game. Was Yeah, he was.
He was none too pleased with what was going on there.
And so we're gonna check in with him coming up

(05:15):
today at one forty five. Cracking or out of it.
They're not mathematically eliminated, but mathematically means they they could
technically catch somebody by a point, but every team ahead
of them would have to lose every game. I mean,
they're they're math. Their magic number is basically less than one.

(05:36):
It's like a half a game. It's a tiebreak. I
mean that's what it is. So they're done. They're not
going to the playoffs. Fourth time and four years or right,
fourth time in five years that they're not going. They
took a two one lead last night. Lane was pissed
after the game. And it's interesting because we're running into
the dynamic now where if we're being honest, it's better
for them to lose. Now, I'm saying that you're not

(06:01):
Captain Tanker anything, No, but I'm saying and I'm saying
that with some hesitation. I'm a cracking employee. I don't
That's not my job is to say you should lose,
And I don't think in the world of hockey, it's
not like the NBA. No one in hockey tries to lose.
That's like the Vancouver Canucks. I think they've already clinched
the worst record anyway, but they're not trying to lose.
No one tries to lose the NHL. So just between

(06:22):
the NHL and the NBA, people never tank. In the NHL,
guys play seemingly play hard, or at least give it
an effort. You don't. You also don't sit guys, you
know like, you don't sit, you know, like you're not
going to see Maddy Beaneer's and Bobby McMahon Vince done
Brandon on tour. You're not going to see your top
guys sit and sit out games and be healthy scratches

(06:44):
so you can get some more ping pong balls for
the lottery. That's just not how the NHL operates. But
the reality is we like to see them win. It's
fun when your team wins and they have three home
games left Thursday, Saturday, and Monday before two road games
to finish off next week, a week from today and
a week from tomorrow. The reality is it doesn't help
them to win, just doesn't helps them to lose. Like

(07:07):
losing at this point is okay. Never thought i'd say that,
because this team entered the Olympic break comfortably in a
playoff spot and it has fallen apart five wins since
the Olympic break. I think it's five fifteen and two.
Now I believe might be off by a loss, but
they've had five wins since the Olympic break.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
It's just falling apart a rough time sense.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Then, yes, why, I don't know. Can't score, power play
is not good. Penalty kill is not good penalty. The
penalty kill or the power play carry these guys for
a good chunk of the year, not anymore.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
So.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, we'll hear from Lanne. I liked it because Mark
and I are just talking about this. I don't know
if you heard the JJ Redick sound from the Lakers.
He kind of snapped on on Ruy and DeAndre and company,
a couple of West Coast legends. But I liked it.
But it's a fine line between throwing your players under
the bus and also knowing you should be protect protecting

(08:02):
your players. Lane doesn't mention guys by name. I know
who he's talking about last night, and you know what,
I'm not going to mention the guys my name, but
I could tell you exactly who he's talking about and
you'll hear that. At one forty five. It was the
most harsh criticism of his team and his players that
Lane Lambert has had here. I do want to touch
it on a thing and I'll talk to Corbin. I

(08:25):
may hit on hockey a little bit too. Corbyn runs
amimeralds that he spectrum. He nick lely wrote the story
yesterday and I pointed out to Corbyn it was a
little erroneous because he was placing a lot of blame
on Ron Francis, and I said, well, Ron Francis had
the roster for the first four years. A year five,
the roster is Jason Bottrell. But I'll get his thoughts
on it coming up at two o'clock. But this roster

(08:50):
needs a lot of work in terms of funding guys
that can score goals. And I think I felt that
frustration from Lane, plus he was some frustration from him
in the regard. The guys just aren't doing when what
they're supposed to do. Defensively, it's all about structure. You know.
Imagine if you were watching a football team play and
it you know, the play called for a wide receiver

(09:11):
to run a five yard out and he ran a
goal route and maybe a post route instead, Like, dude,
what are you doing? You can't just freelance. You got
to play within the structure of what we're supposed to do.
And I think that's just frustration. So we'll play that
coming up as well. I do want to mention we've
got the golf challenges taking place. Where is my golf? Oh,
there is Tomorrow's Master's Day.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
One.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Can't wait. God love Masters. I haven't. I haven't worned
my wife that Sunday is just off limits. Yet she's
gonna lose her mind really well, because it's been that
way for a while. She asked us, after she asked
my son and I on the I think it was
the Yeah, the Friday of March Madness, week of day

(09:53):
you know, the round of sixty four, So Friday, day
two of March Madness. Yeah, because Thursday we had a
hockey game, So I wasn't really around. We were off
obviously at our station. So then I'm off Friday yep,
and so Keith and I took off to go down
to Twin Peaks. Shout out to Brad and front of our
friends at Twin Peaks, you're softy talking about all the time,
great spot, good food. Went down there to watch March Madison,

(10:15):
have like a little dude lunch with our buddy de Henny,
and went down there hung out. We got back mid afternoon.
I settled into my chair with an adult beverage or two,
and she said, isn't it over yet? I go, what
do you mean this March madness thing?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:30):
I said, hunt, it's stay two. It's stay two. Oh no,
she goes, is it over Saturday or Sunday?

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Ago?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, it's over three weeks from Monday. She's like what.
And then this past Monday was the championship game yep,
and both of us had some juice going on it,
so we were rolling in. I rolled in after the
hockey game as fast as possible. We watched the last
bit of that. She's like, oh, it's finally over. I'm like, yeah,
it's over. Well, now we get the Masters this weekend.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
So she got breaks business.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
No no, She's gonna have a Honeydeo list for me
on a Sunday, and I'm gonna like no, no, no, no, no.

We are jack to talk about edge rushers today. Here
we go, Hi, Greg, how are you my friend Ian?

Speaker 7 (13:44):
What's happening?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (13:45):
We're hanging in there. We're hanging in there. We're waiting
for the end of hockey season. We're getting excited for
the draft. Even though the Seahawks, Greg, the Seahawks only
have four draft picks, including number thirty two overall in
the first round.

Speaker 7 (13:57):
You and I, knowing John Schneider, you know better than I. Obviously,
we know that that's going to change. They're not going
to draft four plus.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's one hundred percent going to change. There's no doubt
about that. We should mention that Greg Gassel is brought
to you by our good friends at the Hall Group.
And listen, there's a lot of hauls, but we want
to tell you about this specifically. Baseball season is underway
right now are you heading to the games? Make Occidental
Hall your first stop and your last stop at your
Mariners pre and post game headquarters. Game Day starts at

(14:27):
the Hall after every home game, and they're back in
town on Friday. This coming Friday and all through the weekend.
After every home game, celebrate with five dollars smash Burgers
plus happy hour Monday through Friday from four to six
Occidental Hall. This is how you do game day. I
should also mention that we've just had we have three
home games left for your Seattle Kraken. Best pre and

(14:48):
post game place for the Kraken of course the queen
Anebeer Hall as well. I think I'm gonna make my
way there after the game on Saturday. It's an early game,
so I think I'm gonna swing on by, grab myself
a smash Burger after the game, and hang out out
with our TV crew. Draft is It's our last home broadcast,
so go check that out. Torrent Games as well, a
great place to go for pre and post near the

(15:09):
Climate Plaedgerina or of course Oxington holl don't forget it
from the east side most Bee hal over in Kirkland
as well. All right, Greg, let's talk edge rushers today.
General thought, real quick edge rushers this year, and actually,
I'm gonna throw this at you because we have to
go through this. Every team looks at edge rushers differently.
You talk to coaches all the time, you know, we
used to kind of think of edge rushers as the

(15:30):
defensive end in a four to three alignment on a defense.
That's not the case anymore. Like the Seahawks call them
outside linebackers or rush edges or whatever they call them.
Every team has a different look. What is today's in
general terms NFL edge rusher? What does he look like?

Speaker 7 (15:47):
Well, I think that's team in scheme specific and this
draft reflects that. Is that there are guys who are
true pass rushers off the edge. They have pass rush traits.
That's what they do. That's how they'll make their money
in the NFL if they're going to be good NFL
players because they can rush the quarterback. And then there
are other players who are edge players, but they're not

(16:08):
necessarily strong pass rushers. They're powerful, they're strong, they're strong
against the run, they play with violence, they play off
contact really well. Yes, they can get some sacks, but
they're not necessarily guys you would call great edge rushers.
And then there's other guys who are multi positional, and
we'll get to one of those as well in this draft,

(16:29):
one who can certainly line up on the edge, but
could well end up playing inside more depending upon team
and scheme. So there's different categories the end of edge rusher,
you know, and I think Seattle is a good example
of that, with someone like Derek Hall. You know, Derek Hall.
And again, I'm not gonna sit here and say, because
obviously I watched every snap, but that was a while ago,

(16:49):
and so I can't remember every single.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Thing, believe it or not.

Speaker 7 (16:52):
But I mean, I'm not going to sit here and
say Derek Hall never played one snap inside. But you're
not drafting Derek Hall to play inside, you know, as
a pass rusher you're playing. You're drafting him to play
outside as an edge rusher, and he obviously did very
well down the stretch.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Greg, I'll just I've got a list of guys in
front of me, but you tease me, who's the guy
you just referenced inside outside guy.

Speaker 7 (17:14):
Keldrick Fawk from Auburn. Keldric Fawk is a mountain of
a young man, I mean, these guys are young. I mean,
I think he's twenty years old, and we forget that sometimes.
I mean, it's like watching the NCAA basketball tournament. You
see these eighteen year old freshman. I mean, I'm just
blown away by the talent that they have. But anyway, Fock,
I think is twenty. He's six six to seventy six ian.

(17:34):
His arm length is thirty four and three eighths. He's
got a wing span that's over eighty two. He's powerful,
he's strong in Auburn's defense, and I've watched him for
two years. He played anywhere from zero technique, which means
he lines up head up on the offensive center, to
wide nine, which means he lines up outside in offensive tackle.
So but he's not a pure pass rusher. He's a

(17:55):
power player. So sure he has some speed to power
element to his rush, but he's not a sudden, twitchy
guy that's going to beat you off the edge with
his quickness. So you know, he's an example of a
guy that if you draft him, you probably have you well,
you don't have to understand, you will understand if you
draft him, you will definitely know what he is. And
they could play probably anywhere along your defensive front, you know,

(18:21):
depending on on how you want to line. I'll give
you an example. He's a much better prospect than Mike Morris. Okay,
Morris is the big kid out of Michigan who lined
up at defensive end in Michigan. But it's played a
lot of snaps inside for Seattle because he's he's so big,
and he's got some physical power to him, you know,
but he's not an age rusher, so you know, you

(18:41):
try to find ways to use them.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
His fault more explosive though than Morris, because I mean
Morris doesn't have much of a burst.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, he's a way better prospect. Yes, I mean, Maris
was a really nice college player. And if I'm not mistaken,
wasn't he like a fourth or fifth round pick?

Speaker 2 (18:54):
And he was not a high high pick.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
I was just trying to use that as a comparison
because they're both tall, they're both long, neither one is
a pure edge rusher.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, and I just I'm looking at the numbers, it
kind of felt body type looked a lot similar to
to what Morris. And Morris is a serviceable guy for Seattle,
a depth guy and and all that Folka, young guys.
You know, small town Alabama guy went to Auburn, hasn't
left the state, young kid, We'll see what he's got
about him. I'm gonna jump around a.

Speaker 7 (19:19):
Little bit when I watch Fox, just to give you
an example. And I know we want to move on
and get to a bunch of guys. When I walked Falk,
I thought of Bill Belichick and how he deploys a
lot of defensive linemen. And obviously he's not coaching in
the NFL, and certainly, folks, not Richard Seymour. But if
you remember the way Richard Seymour would line up at
d n detail, he didn't he line up anywhere along
the defensive line, and Fox not Richard Seymour. I don't

(19:40):
want people to think I'm making an apples to Apple's comparison,
but I thought of that's that's the kind of way
in which we'll be deployed.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
If you draft that makes sense, I'm gonna skip by Listen,
r Vel Reeves, David Bailey, both guys ranked really Hi,
I'm gonna skip by those because Seattle's not going to
get those guys or not, that's.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
Not something they're not going to be trading up to
the top five.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
No, no, no, I am, and then other guy's gonna
probably very early. But I'm just curious to get your
thoughts on him, because we all know him and remember
from the from the title or the run in the playoffs.
I would love to get your thoughts on what you've
seen from Ruben Bain Junior. I've heard a lot about
him after the combine, the short arms, all that kind
of stuff. What do you see from Ruben bin He's
not going to be a seahawk? But what do you
see from Ruben Bain?

Speaker 7 (20:18):
Yeah, you know, I don't have and I'm being honest,
I don't have an answer about the arm length. And
I'll tell you why. I'm going to give you a
very quick analogy, which two people way smarter than I am,
and why I don't have an answer. It involves Will Campbell,
the offensive tackle for the Patriots.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I heard Joe.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Thomas, who obviously knows more about offensive tackle play than
I do, saying that his problems down the stretch had
nothing to do with arm length. Then I spoke to
a good friend of mine who's been an offensive line
coach in the league for thirty plus years, who said absolutely.
It had everything to do with the short arms. So
when you hear two people who are really smart say
that I can't tell you what his arm length means,

(20:53):
I can tell you what he looks like on film.
And he's a sought off, hyper competitive, hyper physical power player.
He's a fun guy to watch because he plays so hard.
He knows how to use his hands and whatever arm
length do you want to give him, you know, and
he's very good at playing off contact, and there's just
a sheer physicality and toughness and competitiveness to his game.

(21:15):
But he's more than likely just a defensive end.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Now.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Having said that, I thought there were some similarities to
Brandon Graham when he came out of Michigan and Graham
later in his career started playing inside for Philly, but
he didn't do that early in his career. So, you know,
Bain is not an outside backer. You know, he's not
a stand up guy. He's going to drop into coverage.
You know, that's not who he is. You're not drafting
him to do that. But he's a really good football player.

(21:42):
And there's people who believe that the arm length won't
matter because of the way in which he plays, and
I guarantee in draft meetings there'll be others who say,
uh uh, history shows that no one with that arm
length makes it as a defensive end, which, by the way,
history shows, so you're going to have competing thoughts and
competing process He's right there. Like I said, I love

(22:03):
watching him play. I don't have an answer to it.
I'm just being honest.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Greg Cozelle joining his courtesy of the Hall Group. Don't
forget swinging on by the Occidental Hall before or after
baseball games this season five dollars smash burgers post game.
All right, let's get to let's stay with Miami and
talk about his teammate because he might be around if
Seattle's drafting into the first round or maybe even the
second round. Who knows. That's a key messador.

Speaker 7 (22:25):
Yeah, and he's he's an older player. You know, which
teams will have different views on that. I think will
be twenty five. He's a much juicier, more explosive off
the ball athlete than ruben Bain. He's got sudden quickness
off the ball. He can generate velocity at the top
of his past rush arc. I mean he's violent as well.
I mean he's the there's physicality, there's strong hands, he's
got short stroke power. He showed some speed to power.

(22:48):
He's built differently. Even though he's not significantly taller, he
looks longer on film. You know, he's got really good
body control and balance. He's a really interesting guy. You know, look,
who knows how this draft's going to play out, because
with the lack of quarterbacks in it, you just don't
know how. You know, players will start to come off
the board and sometimes that changes how teams do things.

(23:11):
But Messador is a very interesting guys. He's more of
a true edge player when you think of a guy
that has true pass rush traits.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Last week we talked with our buddy Rob rang about
Zion Young and it sounds like Young from Missouri is
a guy that is I'm gonna use the word kind
of polarizing in the sense of you just said it
a moment ago. Every team looks and listen, every team
looks at every player differently, right, whether it's age, arm, length,
all these things. Zion Young kind of feels like one
of those guys is can be much debated during the

(23:40):
draft from Missouri. What do you see from him on tape?

Speaker 7 (23:43):
Yeah, because I think he falls more into that category
I mentioned when you asked me initially about you know,
edged players. I think he's more of a prototypical four
to three d N a foundational four man D line front.
His staple strengths are power and physicality and working his hands.
He's not a twin chief sudden guy. Doesn't mean he
can never sack the quarterback, but he doesn't have that

(24:04):
higher level bend in flexibility, so he wins kind of
as a pass rusher with methodical power and hand placement.
But he's six six two sixty two. You know, he's
a big man. He looks big on tape. He's very
good at block reconstruction.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
In the run game.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
He can set the edge. But you know, to me,
you don't draft him and say he's now my edge rusher.
This is the guy we're going to count on that
other teams are going to account for when they play us.
He's not that guy. But he's a good football player.
He's just you know, I'm a big believer Ian and
you'll appreciate this. To me, you've got to understand what
a guy is. It's like in baseball, okay, with free agency,

(24:42):
when a guy is on in a lineup and batting
seventy hits thirty home runs, and then some team signs
him to big money and once to bat him third,
thinking he's going to do exactly the same thing. You know,
it doesn't always work like that, you know it you
sort of to me, you have to have a sense
of what a guy is.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Well. Then with young that's interesting about him is again
probably what scheme specific in a sense as well, and
as we're talking for yeah, as we're talking about edge
rushers and you know, which is as Greg articulated and
kind of defined at the start of the segment, it's
it's wide ranging and what what looks like. See, I
don't have the best defense statistically in the NFL last year, Greg,

(25:20):
as you well know, their top sack guys were in
the two guys in the interior both with seven sacks. Ye, like,
this is not a team Mike McDonald, I don't know
if he's looking for like that that speed edge rusher
that we've come to know and talk about over the years.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
It may not be the priority. I mean, I'm sure
if there was one that he you know, was there,
Like you know, depending on what they choose to do
with their draft picks. You have someone like Malachi Lawrence
from UCF. I have no idea how how John Schneider
or Mike McDonald feels about Malachi Lawrence. But he's not
likely to be a first round pick. And if you
really like him, you know he's that he's that kind

(25:58):
of guy. He's got some length to him. He's a
good run usher, plays the run pretty well. He's like
a he's a solid edge rushing prospect. But you know,
as Ion Young, just to give you an example, because
you know we're both a little older, and we go
back to football from a few years ago, back in
the day when we used to look at a four
to three d N and say he's a strong side
d N. He plays, you know, over the tight end.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Man.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
We used to say that about guys that to me
is ion You Okay, who's Ion Young is?

Speaker 4 (26:22):
To me? Well?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
And that's and I when I bring up just kind
of how they look at it, like it feels like
they they do everything kind of by committee up front
a little bit too. And Zion Young might fit that.
But let's talk about Matt. Let's go back to Malachi
Lawrence from UCF and what you see from him.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
I didn't know much about him at all. In fact,
a very good friend of mine at the combine told
me about him. Obviously, UCF's not necessarily on you know,
TV all the time I did, so I didn't see
much of him at all, didn't know a lot about him.
I liked him. I thought he showed some knock back
power in his hands, in his arms, which is very
good in the run game. I thought he could stop
and redirect. He's a plus athlete. He's over sixty four,

(26:58):
he's over two fifty, he's got good arms, you know.
I think that he's He showed some tools in his
toolbox where he has to work on some things, and
they all do, by the way, so it's never a
knock on a player, on a prospect, their prospects, to
say they have things to work on. He's got to
work on playing off contact, reworking his hands, which is

(27:19):
very common, by the way, for college pass rushers, because
they don't do that a lot in college. He reminded
me a little bit of and I'm sure we talked
about this guy last year. He was a rookie this
year in Carolina named Nick s Gourton, who actually played
a lot in Carolina and played well toward the end
of the season. He reminded me of Nick Gourton quite
a bit. But I like Malachi Lawrence.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
How about Cassius Howell from Texas A and M.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Now there's another guy that has an arm length major concern,
but he is super juicy. I mean, this guy is
He may be, along with David Bally, the two most
explosive edge players in this draft in terms of just
exploding off the edge. I mean, this guy is, that's
just who he is. I mean, he is super quick,

(28:06):
He's got explosive get off, he's got first step twitch.
I mean, this guy challenges the high side of offensive tackles,
meaning the outside shoulder, as quickly as you can can
do it. And he's he can do some things off
of that. He's got that one arm stead. He plays
as if his arms are longer. That's the odd thing

(28:27):
he plays because there's times when he uses his arms
really really well. Now you could also say he's always
had short arms, So you know, that's the thing. You know,
guys know what they are, right, and you know know
what they are. When you play sports long enough, you
know what you can do and what you can't do.
But this guy is I think he can play in
a five to two bass as an outside backer. His

(28:47):
coverage ability is very, very good. But this guy is
he's explosive and he's terrific as a looper in stunts
because he's got that short area of burst. He's got flexibility,
and man does he have closing speed.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
We got a couple more guys we're getting time to
hit on as well. How about ar Mason Thomas out
of Oklahoma.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah, he's he falls a little more into the catcher's
hell category, although he doesn't weigh as much and that
shows up. But he's another guy that has some juice
to him. I don't think it's at the same level
of Howl And he weighs a good ten twelve pounds less,
and sometimes that shows up on film when you know,
because don't forget you weigh two forty As an edge rusher,
you're giving up, you know, seventy pounds to pretty much

(29:29):
every offensive tackle you're going against.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Right now.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
They know that, of course, so you know there's you know,
there's reasons these guys know that, and they know how
to deal with it. I like our Mason Thomas, but
I don't think he's at the level of prospect as
let's say a cash Is Howell, even though he'd fit
into the same box.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Is it game jackis from Illinois? Is it jackis? Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
I think he's more like Zion Young personally. I know
there's a lot of different shatter about him, you know,
and some people really really like him because he's just
you know, he's one of those guys you come away
and he's a good football player. But I think he's
his game's built on power and physicality more than higher
level athleticism. He's nowhere near as long as I am young,
which you know that's a concern. But he's not an

(30:13):
explosive guy. He's kind of more measured and methodical. He's
got you know, what I call a rugger, rugged and
forceful demeanor. He you know, he plays the way you
want a guy to play, and as a pass rusher,
his foundation would be speed to power, but he really
doesn't have a deep arsenal of moves and counter moves,
so you can teach that. But I see him a
little more as kind of that strong defensive end type.

(30:34):
Although he did play a lot of five too in Illinois.
So it's very possible that teams that whose base is
a five to two will see him as a five
to two outside backer.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Is that basically the Seattle is I always never the
Seattle five to two? No, okay, okay, it feels like
they have. I mean, they got the two linebackers.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
You know, they do.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
Look, they do a lot of things obviously, you know, Yeah, yeah,
all right, they do a lot of things.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Derek Moore out of Michigan. We saw a lot of
Michigan football the last few years. Hell, we sill saw
a lot of Michigan basketball, if I'm not mistaken, Greg,
the last few days. Michigan. We live in Michigan's world.
We're in Michigan's world. We're just living in it right now,
I think is what it is. But I do remember
what this is a guy I think with every college
football fan, every football fan knows the name Derek Moore
out of Michigan. He's he's ranked a little lower by most.

(31:21):
I think he probably is a second or third round
pick maybe, so definitely a Day two guy. But what
do you see from Derek Moore? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (31:27):
I liked him and I saw him last summer too.
He's a strong edge defender. His game is primarily strength
in power.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Now.

Speaker 7 (31:34):
He knows how to use his hands well, and he's
got long arms. I mean he's six four, two fifty five.
His arm length is over thirty three inches. He knows
how to use it in both the run game and
as a pass rusher. He really knows how to place
his hands, you know, without going into the weeds on
that they teach you when you use your first hand
strike as a pass rusher, where to put it on

(31:56):
the offensive tackle. And he knows exactly where to do that,
and he can drive guys back into the pocket. You know,
I think he's a four to three guy, but I
think he could be another five to two guy. Uh
if you know, if you see him that way. But
I liked his tape. I mean I think I think
he's You're right, he's just a good player. He won't
go in round one, but he could be one of

(32:17):
those guys that ends up, you know, in two years,
three years, we're talking about Derek Moore being a starter somewhere.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
I'm gonna do this because we just got a couple
of minutes left. Analyst choice, who do I need to
who does Seahawk fans need to know? Is it, Uh, well,
I'm just trying. I'm going through here.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Is it Crawford a little further down the road?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Crawford from Auburn? Is it Hype from Texas tag?

Speaker 7 (32:38):
He He fascinates me because he has not played which guy?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Which one's that?

Speaker 7 (32:44):
And he's a guy that, to me will be an
as sending player because he now, you know, obviously he
played you know, off in opposite folk sometimes they end
up on the same side. But this kid, you're talking
about a kid, Now that's juicy. I mean, this kid's
an athlete.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Which kid is that? We just I gave you two names.
I'm sorry, which which kid is that? Ken Key run
Croft from Auburn? Okay?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Perfect?

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, he's a.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
Sudden, twitchy athlete. He's got explosive get off. He can
instantly challenge the high side. I mean I think he
needs you know, he needs work because he didn't play
football until his senior season in high school and then
started his career at Arkansas State. So I mean he's,
you know, obviously hasn't played as much football as most
guys when they get to this level. But I think
there's a lot there to develop. And again, I don't

(33:28):
get to know these players, so I can't tell you
how much he picks up or doesn't pick up. But
you know, if all signs in that regard are really strong,
it would not surprise me if this guy in two years,
three years, we are really talking about him, because he
is a juicy guy.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
I like.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I like the term juicy, by the way, that sounds good.

Speaker 5 (33:47):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
I'm getting thirsty actually thinking about that right now.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
You know, we got another we got another. We got
another sponsor called No White Brewing. They have a big
and juicy beer. I'm thinking about that right now. What
about Dennis Sutton from Penn State? Do you like him?

Speaker 7 (34:00):
I think he's more like Zion Young.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
You know.

Speaker 7 (34:02):
I think he's a good, really good player.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (34:05):
I think he's gotten a little better as a pass
rusher as he's progressed at Penn State, and he played
that extra year he could have come out last year.
But I think, but all said and done, he's not
a true pass rusher. So I think he's another one
of those sort of solid defensive ends, like if you
had a big time stud on the other side, and
you know who could rush the quarterback and he played

(34:26):
on the other side. You know, he'll defend the run,
he'll set the edge, he'll do all those things that
are obviously critical, but no one gets excited about your
fans I'm talking about. But you know he's a good
football player.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
So here's what we're going to do. We've got all
these names. Now what we do is we save them
and then when the Seahawks drafts somebody else. Of course,
we always have Greg co sel on for one more
visit before we turn them loose for the spring in
the summer after the draft, So if we miss somebody,
guaranteed Greg will have seen the tape and we'll revisit
that after the draft. As far as the edge rushers
are concerned. But I think we got a good, pretty

(34:57):
good feel for stuff today, my friend, thank you.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
I think it's important for people to realize, well we
talked about at the beginning that not everybody just because
they're a d N and plays on the edge, it
means that they're a great pass rusher.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, one hundred percent. And again we pointed out with
Seattle last year what they did with Mike McDonald's defense,
they did not have by at least by statistical sack numbers.
Now there's win rates, right Greg, and there's all those
other things that you can look at the underlying numbers,
but by statistics wise, their two best sack guys came
from the interior. They were not edge guys. Boy and

(35:29):
Mafy just signed a nice contract. He only had two
sacks last season. So Seattle maybe does a little bit differently.
But that's why we have you, and that's why we
will check back in with you next week. Let's talk
let's talk about the cornerbacks next week? Shall we will
talk about who's going to replace Tarik Wollan here? It's
that sound good?

Speaker 7 (35:45):
Sure, a lot of corners, a lot of corners get.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Drafted well, and I know you've watched one or two
of those. So hopefully by next week you've watched more
than just the two you've watched so far. And I
joked because Greg's probably watched there's a better chance he's
watched one hundred and two than two, right now, all tap,
all take there's a chance one hundred two guys. You've
looked at tape at those guys so far, So Greg
will talk to you next week, my friend, thank you.

Speaker 7 (36:06):
All right, thanks the appreciate it.

games of the season. Tomorrow they take on Vegas Saturday,
early afternoon, early but it's like four o'clock game on
Saturday against Calgary Calgary, and then Monday they wrap things

(38:04):
up at their home schedule, so three more home games.
They are not going to the postseason. So for four
out of the first five years the franchise no playoffs.
Last time was year two of the franchise. Big things
going on in the offseason. They've got a lot of
work that needs to get done in this offseason. I

(38:25):
don't think one of the things that they're gonna have
to worry about is a coaching search, as they have
the last two years. Although last year's coaching search was
a real one. The year before was they just bumped
up by Alsma and proved to be a bad call
in that regard. Lane Lambert's fine. Disappointing, just a really

(38:47):
disappointing end of the season. And I don't I'm gonna
be very honest, what's happened to the last week or so?
It doesn't matter. Season was lost about two and a
half three weeks ago. Lose two games in Nashville. Yeah,
that was it.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Saint Louis loss at home.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
What's happened in the last four or five games has
been kind of irrelevant. So it's a bomber man. I
think I know how much this organization wants to win,
and we're gonna find out, probably in the offseason how
much they want to win, because I think it's going
to be aggressive in so many different ways. All right,
all right, that's I Daily Power played by Toby Yskoehn.

that covers a team. I think he's actually reached the point.
He's having a hard time coming up with different ways
to say that the Mariners can't hit. But that's besides
the point. Yeah, you could find great content for both
the Kraken and the Mariners.

quick because you and I were talking on text yesterday

you're a sports journalist, you run the site some of
that before we get to the Seahawks. One Mariners, is
Dan Wilson an issue?

Speaker 4 (45:40):
I don't.

Speaker 9 (45:41):

you know, runs that like him being on the hot
seat or anything like that. But you know, if they
get out of April and their six or seven games
that are five hundred, I think that heat is gonna
get turned up a lot. I don't know that this
is all on him necessarily, but it reflects when your

(46:01):
entire team is hitting the way they are.

Speaker 4 (46:03):
It reflects on your entire coaching staff.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
So Nick wrote on the Kraken and I'll let you
just give me an opinion on what you think should happen,
and what to me is a pivotal off season. They've
got some expiring contracts, they've got some salary cap space.
I don't think the coach is going anywhere, and I'll
frankly tell you this, I don't think the coach should
go anywhere. I think Lane's on a hell of a
job with what he's had to work with. But for
your thirty thousand view from a foot view of our

(46:27):
hockey team before you talk football, I.

Speaker 9 (46:30):
Think that the ownership group needs to go Joe Dirt
mode and clean house. They've got to get everybody in
that front office out. They've got to just start over.
They get somebody that is not associated with that current
group and start fresh. And maybe somebody that has a
past work arrangement with Lane Lambert would be a good

(46:52):
idea as well. But they got to go outside of
the organization. And I think it's obvious. You've played musical
chair with titles you name it, with Ron Francis and
Moodrol and it's at the end of the day, it
just has not worked and the talent that's being brought
in is not where it needs to be. The draft

(47:14):
picks have not panned out the way that they need
to to be able to consistently compete in the NHL.
So I think you give Lane Lambert a much longer
leached I mean, you've had three coaches in three years.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
At some point I guess say, Okay.

Speaker 9 (47:26):
What's been the common thread here and the cracking have
to show that they're willing to make those kind of
moves even if they like the people that are running
these positions, they're not getting the job done.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
You got to start scratch, all right, it is our guy,
Corbyn Smith. Let's talk about the scene that has done
has been successful. They won a Super Bowl. I think
that's about as successful as you can get. That would
be your friends and mine, the Seattle Seahawks of the
National Football League, Sir, can you believe her? Fifteen days
away from the draft? Holy Cowboddy ready to go?

Speaker 4 (47:55):
It's you know, when you win a Super Bowl, everything
just creeps up on you incredibly fast.

Speaker 9 (48:01):
Like I've had to do double time trying to get
my draft film review in this year.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
It's been it's been crazy. I mean, I think fans
are obviously, you know, hey, we'll take a super Bowl.
We don't care if the draft coverage is rushed or whatever.

Speaker 9 (48:14):
But that's that's one of the downsides of having a
deep playoff run. I guess if you're a reporter like
oh Man, you know, I get a little bit of
an off season. No.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
Wait, the draft is in three days, you know, kind
of the way that it goes when you go deep
into the postseason.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Let's talk running backs, something that you is near and
dear to your heart. I want to start there. We're
going to assume Jeremiah Love is off the board. He's
going to be gone very early, almost in depending on
whether we're talking to your friend of mine, Rob Rang
or we're checking in with somebody else, and just almost
anywhere you look for the running back class, Jeremiah Love

(48:51):
is a first round talent. Nobody else is near the
first round, at least in terms of being rated and ranked,
and really, frankly, to be honest with you, it feels
like most guys are second and I mean mid to
late second, third or later draft picks. I say that, Corbyn,
I still think there's some guys out there that would
provide value and help this football team. But you know,

(49:12):
you've been looking at this, You've been watching this. What
do you think of the running back class overall?

Speaker 4 (49:17):
You know, I don't think it's a bad running back class.

Speaker 9 (49:20):
The issue is that everybody saw the group we saw
last year, which was historically good led by Ashton Genty,
and he had camp Stataboo and a bunch of other
really good backs in that class. But I don't think
this is a bad draft class. I don't think you're
gonna find many like big time of stars out of
this group.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
Loves probably the most likely to be able to achieve that.

Speaker 9 (49:44):
That's why he's getting top ten pick consensus ratings out there.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
Dynamic playmaker.

Speaker 9 (49:49):
But his teammate Darian Price, I think is a very
good running back as well, and he is somebody that
I've kind of had a little bit on my peripheral
as someone the Seahawks could look at as early. It's
picked thirty two because there's gonna be a run on
running backs in the second and third round. You're gonna
have your Mike Washington juniors of the world. You're gonna

(50:10):
have your EMMITTT. Johnson's of the World from Nebraska. You're
gonna have Joanah Coleman. I think Joanah Coleman goes at
some point on day two as well. Once there's a
run on those guys, then there is a big drop
off because they just don't think there's a ton of
depth in this running back class, at least competed in
the last couple of years. If you're wanting to get

(50:30):
somebody that's gonna be an impact guy day one, there
might be a few guys on day three that can
check it up off in certain schemes, but that sweet
spot is clearly the second and.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Third round in this draft.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
Clap all right, Corbenn Smith Emeral City Spectrum. He's your
Seahawk Rider runs a show where the Animal City Spectrum
as well. Let me let me get to just I'll
go through the names. We can talk about some of
the guys, but whether it be Jadarian Price, Mike Washington
from Arkansas, I Emitt Johnson's from Nebraska, K Tron Allen
another Penn State. That Penn State's got two guys him

(51:04):
and Singleton. You mentioned Jonah Coleman, Demon Claiborne from Wake Forest,
et cetera. Of all those guys I mentioned, or maybe
there maybe it's Black from Indiana or Taylor from Virginia.
It doesn't even matter. Knowing what Seattle has thirty second,
sixty fourth, They're probably gonna move that thirty second if
they at all possibly can to get a few more picks,

(51:24):
so John Schneyder doesn't have to sit around all day
Saturday until the sixth round and have only one pick.
But knowing all the parameters, they need a running back,
what their scheme is, what they like to do, what
they want to run, who they already have in the stable,
whether it be Charbonny Off the injury, whatever it may be,
who makes the most sense for Seattle and where.

Speaker 9 (51:47):
You know, that's where the argument with Jadarian Price really
makes a lot of sense, because I think with what
you just lost Ken Walker the third for the issues
that he had at times with his vision or trying
to bounce everything outside too much and not being decisive,
where we saw major improvements in.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
The playoffs on that front.

Speaker 9 (52:07):
But for all those issues, the dude was as twitchy
and explosive as any back in the National Football League.
He was a home run waiting to happen anytime he
touched the ball. The Seahawks right now don't have a
running back on the roster that gives them that kind
of ability. Jadarian Price is a home run threat, and
not just in the running game. He's also been a

(52:28):
really dynamic kick returner, So that tells you the type
of athlete, the playmaker that you're getting. He's a glider
that really excels vision wise. He is a guy that
can hit chunk plays left and right. I think that's
the kind of back that they probably should be trying
to look for here. The issue is if you don't
take Jadarium Price, and I'm thinking you're probably gonna have

(52:50):
to take him early second at the latest, he's probably
gonna be the second running back off the board if.

Speaker 4 (52:55):
You don't take him.

Speaker 9 (52:57):
There's not a lot of other bats in this class
that have that kind of breakaway speed and home run
hitting ability. There's a lot of backs like Mike Washington
Junior that you know he's a four to three guy.
He's hit some home runs, but it doesn't always show
up on the film.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
You have a lot of bigger body backs that are
more of the between the tackle variety, go break some tackles.

Speaker 9 (53:20):
I think Jennarian Price, though, he is that one guy
that you could justify, you know, you trade down to
recoup a pick or two. All Right, we're gonna we're
gonna take a running back here early in the second round.
Jennarian Price is the guy that I think makes the
most sense in terms of what they lost with Ken Walker.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
The third it is our guy, Corbyn Smith joining us,
and we appreciate him joining us at Emerald Cityspectrum dot com.
Just along those lines, before I move on to some
of the other guys, do you think in that regard
that they are gonna have If they they're gonna have,
the price would be you have to guy be a
guy you get early second So in other words, if
you're gonna make a move with that thirty second pick,

(53:54):
you better make sure that you have that pick early
in the second round.

Speaker 9 (53:58):
Yeah, I think you're looking there five or six picks
on day two. I think there's gonna be a run
on running backs starting at that point because I'm expecting.
I think Jonah Coleman is gonna get drafted earlier than
a lot of people are prognosticating. I think he could
go in the second round people turn on the twenty
twenty four tape and you're gonna be thinking, Oh, who's
this guy? You know when he when he was fully healthy,

(54:20):
I think. And he's also coming from a pro style offense,
so that's gonna be a big feather in the cap
for him as well. Emmitt Johnson's a good player. Another
guy that I think is gonna go much higher than
people are talking about. There's two really good running backs
coming from Indiana. Hemby from Indiana is a guy that
I'm really high on that I think.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
Goes on day two as well.

Speaker 9 (54:42):
So you've you've got some players there that have talent
that I think they're gonna be gone in a very
quick order. I'm expecting a lot of running backs to
go on day two and then it's gonna dry out.
So if you're running a guy like Jenerian Price, you're
gonna have to You're gonna have to hope that he's
there early in the second round trade down, or if
you're worried about losing him, you might just have to

(55:03):
take him at thirty two and hey, you get the
fifty year option build in which we're seeing the advantage
of that with the contracts they've signed for Smith and
Jigbu and Cross.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
We go back to Mike Washington Junior for a second
burner at four three three and the forty. You know
a good size too, I mean, big guy that can run.
What is it about him on tape that you didn't like?

Speaker 9 (55:24):
The ball security is the first thing that really really
messed with me, being a running back coach and a
running back myself.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
I mean, twelve fumbles in his college career. That is scary.
That is a huge red flag. And the other thing
for him being at two hundred.

Speaker 9 (55:38):
And twenty five plus pound back, you don't always feel
him as a runner.

Speaker 4 (55:43):
You don't feel that physicality always.

Speaker 9 (55:46):
It's not consistently there as being a punisher that you
would expect that size. I was left wanting more when
I was watching a tape from that regard. Now, he
is a sleek runner.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
And if he has a seen, he's he's gone. He's
got that elite speed and it shows up on TAKEE.

Speaker 9 (56:02):
But he doesn't run like the size, which suggests that
he does, and I think in the NFL he's going
to have to figure out how.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
To do that.

Speaker 2 (56:09):
Wall also hold him onto the football. That is a
big red flag for me. Let's talk Penn State running backs.
They've got two of them. K Tron Allen five to
eleven two sixteen didn't run the forty at the Combine,
and they've also got Nicholas Singleton's sixty two two twenty
also didn't run the forty. But two kind of different
size backs, but two backs from the same school, kind

(56:29):
of like Notre Dame. What do you see those guys?

Speaker 4 (56:32):
I have both of them with Day three grades.

Speaker 9 (56:35):
They have times that they look like they could be
drafted higher than that, but there's been a lot of
inconsistency of their games. I'm higher on Allen between the two.
Singleton his production has been really weird. He had a
couple thousand yard seasons and then he had a couple
of years that were underwhelming.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
Production wise in between those.

Speaker 9 (56:54):
So I just don't I don't see either one of
those guys being a starter, see them being change of
pace backs in the National Football League. I think Alan,
if there's one that's gonna pop, is probably the one
that I would think has a little better chance.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
They both can catch the football, so there's some three
down value there. But I think there are several backs
in the class that are better than both of them?

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Who else do you like for Seattle wants to run.

Speaker 9 (57:21):
Well if you want to look on day two, Like
I said, Roman Hemby is a player that I'm very
high on because you see a guy that has great vision.
He's a decisive, patient runner that also has some pop,
has no ability to hit some home runs.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
I think he's a guy that could make a lot
of sense for them.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
He was the number two guy too, right, he was
behind Kaylon Black.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
Yeah, it was really it really depended by game with that.
I mean, I think Blacks would be a good.

Speaker 9 (57:48):
NFL player too, but I've got I have some durability
concerns with him going to the next level that I've
got on my list here. But I just think Hemby
is a guy that really fits Seattle's zoney scheme. I
think he would be a nice fit. Taylor from Virginia
is not going to wow you with his athleticism, but
if you're looking for a guy that could move the

(58:08):
chains and he's gonna be able to consistently hit his
target points in the zone game, be effective, play faster
than his testing.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
Taylor is a running back that late.

Speaker 9 (58:19):
Day two, early Day three could make a lot of sense.
And here's my wild card for you, all right, Day three,
Robert Henry Junior from UTSA. You watch the film against
Texas A and M. They had one of the best
run defenses in college football. He averaged almost ten yards
of carry and went for over one hundred and seventy
yards against him. He is fast, he's electric, he has wiggle,

(58:42):
and he is a guy that has home run hitting
ability can catch the football as well. He's a Day
three target that I think could make a lot of
sense if the Seahawks haven't picked a running back.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
By that point, Corbyn, when you're watching these guys, listen
the forty time, I think is always an interesting thing
that Corbin Smith joining a cinemal seaspectum. I think the
forty times is always an interesting thing to look at
with running back or with any player in the NFL,
because listen, if we're talking about an offensive lineman, I
don't care what his forty time is. Now we can
look at cone drills and all those things. I think
you'd agree right that, because last I saw, I'm not

(59:13):
worried about Abe Lucas running a forty I'm not worried
about Gray's abel running a forty, But there are positions
that probably the forty does mean something in terms of
acceleration and finishing and all those things. When you look
at a running back, what do you want to see
from a running back in terms of in terms of
how fast he is? Well, here's what I'm asking. This

(59:34):
better way to put it. What's a red flag in
terms of a number? Like what what when you get
to four? What is it becoming a problem?

Speaker 9 (59:40):
Do you think I'd say four, four, six, five probably
would be my rie. I know some people are going
to say, wait a second, see you're okay with a
low four to six. Yeah, because at the end of
the day, I want guys that have I'm more worried
about the ten yard split at the beginning.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
How quickly do they accelerate up to top speed? That
matters more to me.

Speaker 9 (01:00:00):
And then with running backs, the three cone drill and
a short shuttle showing those change of direction skills, those
are more important.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I actually value.

Speaker 9 (01:00:08):
Forty more for offensive linemen than I do for running rills.
And there's a really interesting track record. Rob rang and
I have talked about this a lot in the past.
There is a really interesting track record with tackles in
particular being sub five second forty is and having success
in the NFL. And it's interesting you'd think running back

(01:00:30):
would be more of a worry with that, But I
really look at those ten yards splits in the twenty
yards splits, and I like to see the way that
those linemen finished because it just shows off their overall
athletic profile, their explosiveness, and it seems to have some
bearing on these types of tackles that have success in
today's NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
And so I look closely at the forty with.

Speaker 9 (01:00:52):
Offensive linement that might seem crazy, But running back, I'm
more worried about the agility the change of direction drills
and the umping with which the vertical and the broad
jump or explosive drills. That is another set of drills
I will at closely with running back as well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
All Right, I'm going to ask you the following. This
is to wrap it up.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
I'm going to take Charbonay's off the list, Emmanuel Wilson's
off the list because they're veterans, uh. And I'm taking
Halani off the list because listen, you're the You're the
You and Rang are the presidents of the George Hallane
fan clubs. I'm taking him off the list too, just
for my own sake, my own my own mental well
being of the following, which one of these guys has

(01:01:33):
the opportunity to come in and kind of people go, WHOA,
where they have this guy stashed out? Or where would
this guy come from and maybe be able to make
that fifty three man roster and get into the running
back rotation? Would it be? And too these guys are
coming off injuries. Kenny McIntosh, Vellis Jones, Jacarti, you're right.

Speaker 9 (01:01:55):
You know, I know a lot of fans are probably
gonna expect me to say Kenny McIntosh is the way
he two years ago. I'm going Jacartia, right, though, I
loved what I saw from him in the preseason in
training camp last year, and he had twenty rushing yards
and the only game he played in the regular season
two and he he had some.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Chris Carson to his game.

Speaker 9 (01:02:15):
I don't think he's explosive, but he's got the big body,
he's got the white gate that he runs with, has
some tackle breaking ability.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
He catches the ball like a receiver. Jacarti, A right, is.

Speaker 9 (01:02:27):
Somebody that I would keep an eye on there because
he's more explosive than some of these other big backs
that are in.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
This draft class. Okay, so you're back in my good graces.
That's fine. That's what I was hoping. I would hope
that was kind of hoping you would say that, and
you did so well done. Thank you very much. He
was an undrafted free agent last year.

Speaker 4 (01:02:42):
Yeah, let's talk about George Halan.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
No, because I got to talk to Ran on Friday
and I'm gonna ask him some of the same things.
He's gonna go down that same road. Listen, you guys
can podcast, you know, George Halane fan clip stuff together
all day long.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
I allways, let you guys do that. In the meantime,

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
From the R and R Foundation Specialist broadcast studio. Now
back to Ian Furnez powered by Seapple is closest sports
book Snow call me casino and Hotel on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ R FM.

Speaker 10 (01:04:56):
Hey man a fans, JP Crowfit here, just want to
talk about the Mariner's season.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Excuse me one moment, hey, JP.

Speaker 10 (01:05:10):
Yeah, Colt Emerson is online one for you.

Speaker 9 (01:05:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Thank Hey, guys, I'll have to talk to you soon. Thanks.

Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
I here's a thought.

Speaker 11 (01:05:22):
When did the Mariners announce Colt Emerson's ninety five million
dollar contract and how does that reflect on the Mariner's
record since the announcement, could veterans be just a little
bit pissed that that ninety five million didn't go towards
doing more for the major league roster?

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
Just a thought, interesting thought. I don't think so. I
think that's I think that's a little bit of a
stretch in a reach. But I mean, listen, this is
where the print world is really hard. Because the initial
stop that came out when JP was asked about cold
Emerson made it really sound bad for jp R.

Speaker 3 (01:06:07):
Very petty, But that was that was like written quotes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
You don't you don't hear text? Yeah you know? Then
then you know that was done from Daniel Kramer. Then
Ryan Divish says, hey, there's nothing to see here. Move along.
They just can't hit right now. It's as simple as that.
It two hits today, two hits.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Today, and how many runs over three games?

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
That would be three and none today.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
It's just tough. It's it's tough.

Speaker 5 (01:06:35):
And I think do you think that the afterglow of
the Super Bowl and the success we saw from the
NFL team might be putting a little undue pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
Especially I think the pressure would come from them having
being eight outs away from the World Series last year.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
I was going to add that, Yes, I would. I've
just been looking through here. I mean, batting average means
not a lot, we understand that. But Cal's hitting one
forty three is ops is forty one awful numbers. Julio
one forty three as well, three ninety three oh ps. Rosarine,
he's driving the ball well two fifteen to seven oh seven.

(01:07:10):
That's a superstar right now. One with Donovan three sixteen
and an ops of one point zero two seven. Crawford
one to eighteen. Paul Young, he's doing what he can
as a nine hitters two sixty. He got no complaints
with him. He's won for three today. I don't know. Randy,
uh Randy, Donovan, Rodriguez all had two strikeouts today. They

(01:07:33):
had two walks as a team today, two walks. Can't hit,
can't hit, can't win. It sucks because this pitching staff's
been sensational. Come more fire away before he gets the text.

Speaker 8 (01:07:45):
Hey that Ian Jessman and unders Chris and Brien Kris
and Birien. What up? It's the beginning of April. Kraken
can't shoot, the Mariners can't hit, and our.

Speaker 2 (01:07:57):
Pats heads are falling off.

Speaker 4 (01:08:02):
Jeez.

Speaker 8 (01:08:04):
I'm glad we enjoyed football season because I think the
fall is the only time it's a good time.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
To be a Seattle sports fan. Go Mariners.

Speaker 10 (01:08:15):
Hey in depressed Seattle sports fan here.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
I don't know what to do. Mariners have two.

Speaker 10 (01:08:22):
Hits, but it's nice out. Maybe I'll go to the
speedway and wait for Christian Michael's autograph. At least that'll
give me a little bit of joy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
I don't know, probably be the.

Speaker 10 (01:08:34):
Only person there, but still won't be as many. There
still be more people than the Mariners had hits. They
only had two.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Later, guys, you don't have to wait for the autograph.
I'm sure you'll be. We'll walk right up there and
get it. But yeah, that's fine, all right to come
to dodge text line four nine four five. One EM's
got swepty and I hate it. Why does it take
it until June to hit? There's no marine layer in Texas?
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Seems to be the way.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Let's see, I have, Yeah, I got a couple of
cracker ones that are and they're all depressing here. Even
a few years ago, watching NHL document about the Pittsburgh
Penguin's tanking to get Mario, knew everyone knew what was happening,
but they couldn't talk about. I think tanking for Mario
worked out for the Penguins. It did pre lottery, right though.
I think that was the difference. That's why I said
that it's not gonna happen with the lottery. A lot
of hockey thing, you know, San Antonio Spurs tanked a

(01:09:27):
few times to get number one picks, but it's not
gonna happen in hockey. Keith such a bomber the crack
and have everything from announcers to facilities at a world
class level and the team play. So eh, still won't
shake my life along five years love of the team.
Let's see three six? Oh, should Dan Wilson ripped the
team a new one?

Speaker 9 (01:09:46):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Lou Wood? Yeah, lou Wood. I don't think that's in
Dan's makeup, and I don't know if that helps you
hit balls.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
He's a different style of manager too.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
Yeah, I'll if you here right. No is Harry Do
from the Major League? One hit, one GD hit?

Speaker 5 (01:09:58):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Uh, it's crazy. For a while, all our teams are winning,
and now all our teams are losing. That's because the
Seahawks aren't playing right now. That's why.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Yeah, I mean the.

Speaker 5 (01:10:09):
Two factory also is kind of loling at the bunch
of sad fans coming on. I can't stand that they
can't hit, but after a year they can't year after year,
they can't hit until June.

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
I don't know why people are still surprised.

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
I think that's the one thing that you take solace
in is that this isn't a new phenomenon.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
It's tradition.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
It's it's a tradition like no other until tomorrow, when
the tradition like no other, the Masters comes in. Somebody's
asking about Boby Casper. He's gonna be on tomorrow. I
think we're gonna try to track him down.

Speaker 3 (01:10:32):
Yes, actually he confirmed with a little bit earlier.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Yes, I want to out. Yeah, we're busy tomorrow busy.

Speaker 3 (01:10:38):
Wait, why not be why not?

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
Don't forget the the golf challenge and I through three
KJR dot com. Go ahead and get that signed up
right now. We told you about that earlier.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
Six fifteen days until the Peanut, butter and Jelly Sandwich Challenge.
The challenge, you have to eat one more sandwich than Hugh.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
It's absolutely impossible to do, is it though.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
Yeah, he's pretty good at it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
You can't eat one more than him. There's no way
you can. That would be like a dozen or so.
It's an amazing phenomena.

Speaker 5 (01:11:04):
Yeah, I only counted four last time, but I think
I might have missed him. He might have slipped me
a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Yeah, it could. I could.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
They have like really good food there too.

Speaker 5 (01:11:12):
And.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
I hat a PBJ this morning it's fantastic, really good. Yeah,
I loved it this morning. Right, let us see what
else we got. Would would Mariners consider firing Dan Wilson? Now,
We're still too early from Rod, way too early, I think,
because there's this weird track record. First of all, I

(01:11:35):
don't think you fire the manager or what are they?
Four nine?

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:11:39):
Is that what it is? Thirteen games in the season.
But no, that can happen, not gonna. But again, the
track record is this, it's what we just saw, Like
we just saw. This is what we see every year
by and large, especially from Julio, but kind of a
slow start from the team. I think what we talked

(01:12:00):
about yesterday if you missed our show yesterday with Johan,
and we talked about this with Crawford as well with Chris.
You know, Chris brought this point up yesterday when I
was kind of texting with him. And every game matters
the same. So, yes, does this mean you're not gonna
make the playoffs? Does this mean you're dires?

Speaker 5 (01:12:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
But when you get to the end of the season
and I'm still assuming this team is gonna win the
AL West, like I think this is still the team
wins the AL West. But you want to have home
field advantage throughout the playoffs. Yes, and you we don't
want to see this team have to go to New
York or wherever for an ALCS series. You want to

(01:12:40):
be here at Temobile Park in front of the fans
in Seattle who deserve that. So last year they missed
it by four games. Better start those games aren't in
Toronto six and seven? Right, they were just off today,
or as he heard, he was just off. I assume
the victor of Robos is on the ten day injured list.
They brought up.

Speaker 3 (01:12:58):
Don't see anything regards Naylors something.

Speaker 2 (01:13:00):
Yeah, they brought up this Joe dude who had a
critical error cost him two runs and a three and
nothing loss, regardless of the victor injury, says Quinn. Why
is Nailer getting a day off after a stretch of
losing four games. Don't yell at me, baseball guy. I
know it's early, but losing these early games have costas
playing in the past. Let's bleep and go guys. Yeah, no,
I I I think the Naylor day off was probably

(01:13:22):
because he's been really bad. Of all those guys, he's
been the worst. He's been the least productive of the
big group, of the core group, right, so they gave
him the day day game off. He has a day
off tomorrow. And I'm telling you, I believe in Josh
natomy Man. He's gonna regroup. He'll be fine, He'll be fine. Right,
I have zero because he's Canadian. Oh my god, it

(01:13:43):
just suggests is there a ring on that figure? She's
been married for two years. She said that it's on
the eight four to three.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Yeah, yeah, yes, I've talked about my husband quite a.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
Bit of this. He's a Celtics fan. We like Mike.
Even though he's a Celtics fan.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
We like him a lot.

Speaker 5 (01:13:56):
We do not have an NBA team here. I did
not grow up an NBA. It's another sport that I
get to root for.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, I'll let all the texts coming in.
I'll let Softy discuss his former update anchor on Comcast
Sports Net. I'll let him do that. That's his that's
his job, not my job. By the way, four two
five emergency Mollywop. Not yet.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
I don't think we're there yet.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
We're not quite. There's no bat signal going up in
the can you imagine?

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
No, I mean, I tried to fashion one out of
a you know, one of those mag lights.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
And then we make we need some sort of signal
for an emergency, mollywop. I don't know what it is,
an alarm, like.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
A Viking horn of something.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Yeah, horn, think about something we could put that like
it would just signal it's an emergency, mollywop. And then
the boys are just there, like all of a sudden,
they're boom.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
Shine it into the sky, shout it into the sea.
They'll be here.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
I knew, you know what's funny. I knew someone was
going to ask about that. I knew there was gonna
be a fought in the question if there should be
an emergency model. By the way, Dave Satimor has head
coach Mike McDonald from the Seahawks on at three point
thirty today, Build Soft Deal. Jonas. Next, you know what

(01:15:29):
a really big show is? A really big show is
when you have a Super Bowl winning coach on it.
That's what's happening today on this radio station. Whose show
is that? That would be the Jackson Felts Extravagance. There
you go, there you go. You said Schmetzer wouldn't come on,
so we got Mike McDonald instead.

Speaker 6 (01:15:43):
You know, we we we always ask people the audience,
so we have these focus groups we like to do
here at the radio station. Now, we asked the audience,
what would you like to see happen with this radio station?
And nine out of ten people in the mail twenty
five to fifty four year old democ affics say, I'd
like to see Jackson Felts have his own show and
call it the Jackson Felts Extravaganza. Yeah, you have no idea.

(01:16:06):
How many fans that guys? Why do you think that
hasn't happened yet? Millions of people contract demands? Is it
way too high?

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
He's he I could see him being a guy impossible
to negotiate with, like absolutely impossible. Well, he represents himself, yeah,
you know, so it's tough him.

Speaker 6 (01:16:22):
Bobby Wagner, it's right. All the greats do correct when
you act as your own agent. You know, sometimes emotions
getting away, feelings get hurt, things like that, so it
is difficult. But yeah, he he is sitting on a
gold mine. I think a ratings extravaganza, the Jackson Felts
extravagancial media bonanza. Yeah, how many other words can you

(01:16:42):
use that have anza in them? Bonanza, extravaganza?

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
What else? Hey, by the way, what else?

Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
Is this what we expect with Mike McDonald.

Speaker 6 (01:16:52):
Absolutely, I'm gonna ask him, Mike, name me a word
that's got anza in it, but not bonanza or extravaganza.

Speaker 4 (01:16:59):
Go okay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
He'd be like, Uh, Dave, why did you put me
on with this guy?

Speaker 4 (01:17:04):
To be one?

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Over there? Pierce one? Pierce will be texting you going,
what the hell are you doing? Wrap it up?

Speaker 6 (01:17:10):
Somebody text in four nine four or five one? That's
the Draftmas tree man, Come on, what do you want
from me? I'm suing the company, by the way for that?

Speaker 7 (01:17:17):
You know that, right?

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
I don't want see you know hanakah menora time all right? Yeah,
you know what you should.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:17:22):
I already told that to Rich Moore. And what's the
new guy's name? Uh, Marshall Morgan or something?

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
I told him.

Speaker 6 (01:17:30):
I said, I'm suing the company. He says, why, but
it's Morgan, Marshall Marshall Mathers.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
Is his name, Marshall Marshall Morgan. I thought his name
was Morgan.

Speaker 6 (01:17:41):
Told him Morgan A whole bunch of times I thought
His name was Howdy Duty when I first met him.
To be honest with his son, Glass, not Howdy Duty.
By the way, this is the Egan and Softy try
to get fired show. Just got a text, come see me.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
That's what this is. Well, I got that yesterday. By
the way, you see me. Include me on the lawsuit. Yeah,
fer Nestine is my name. Okay, gotcha, there you go. Yeah,
or Berg, he's just ad whatever you want, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
It's I mean, it's funny that every Jewish holiday when
I was in elementary school and kind of leaked into
junior high.

Speaker 2 (01:18:11):
And yes, you grew up on the East Coast, you
probably had some of this up.

Speaker 3 (01:18:14):

I'm telling you. If there's a lawsuit money you made
me put me on. I thought he was. I thought
he was. We've probably made those trees. By the way,
to be honest with you, the hell man, all right,
I gonna have that tech many brothers. All right, well listen,
I'm gonna be listening at three thirty. But what's what's
the number one saying? No, man, I have no idea.
