Speaker 3: You know?

00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 4: There really is, guys, only one thing that could bump

00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 4: the Seahawks off the air the week before Super Bowl week,

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: and it's Rick Riz calling it quits, saying I'm done,

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: and he's joining us right.

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 4: them with the Mariners. Who would have ever thought that

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 4: a kid from Blue Island, Illinois?

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 5: Do I have that right? Whatever?

00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 6: Do is park Blue Island, southside of Chicago.

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,120

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 4: at you, by the way, Rick, I gotta be honest

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 4: with you. Okay, I'll tell you why you and I

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 4: had a deal. You don't remember this. You and I

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: had a deal that you would not retire until the

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: Mariners won the World Series.

22
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 5: Okay, they haven't done that yet.

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 6: One more ye oh right, Well.

24
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 5: If they do it this year, then you can walk away.

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 4: Well, dude, First of all, congratulations man and everything you've

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: accomplished so far. Everyone's gonna miss you. Everyone's throwing bouquets

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: and flowers your way. But tell us why, I mean,

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: why now, why did this feel like the right time

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: for you to do this?

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 7: Man?

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 6: Well, Softy and Dick, It's great to be with you tonight.

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 6: You know, it just felt like the right time. I've

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 6: been thinking about it the last two or three years.

34
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: I've lost a lot of close friends, you know, over

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 6: the last ten fifteen years, when Dave Henderson passed away,

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 6: and Dave knee House and a good buddy of mine,

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: Joe Wingan who owned the Joker Pub. So as he

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 6: get older, you just see that little light at the

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 6: end of tit will get Bryan or Bryn. I'm fine,

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 6: I'm healthy, I'm fine. But you know, after you know,

41
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 6: forty plus years with the Mariners and over fifty years

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 6: of doing what I've dreamt of doing ever since I

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 6: was twelve years old growing up on the South Side

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 6: of Chicago, you know, I just want to spend more

45
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 6: time with myself, especially with my grandkids. I would love

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 6: to travel. But you know what, after this season, I'm

47
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 6: going to do this season and when the Mariners win

48
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 6: the World Series, and then I can say goodbye for now.

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 6: But I'm still going to be connected with the ball Club.

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 6: You know, if they want me to do anything pr

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 6: wise or anything like that, you know, I'm still going

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 6: to be around and enjoy I just want to enjoy

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 6: it the rest of my life. And I've enjoyed every

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 6: minute of the last fifty plus years. I'm living my dream.

55
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 6: It's something I want to do ever since I was

56
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: twelve years old. So I've been so blessed. But i

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 6: just want to see what the next chapter of my

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 6: life is going to be like, and and I'm going

59
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 6: to find out. But this year, I'm still the voice

60
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 6: of the Mariners with Aaron Goldsmith, with Garry Hill and

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 6: and for the fans here in the Northwest and around

62
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 6: the the United States who listened, you know, uh, let's go,

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 6: let's go win the World Series.

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: Sounds good.

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 8: Well, we're gonna miss your Rick, but this is the

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 8: pomp is absolutely well deserved. And did you consider maybe

67
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 8: just limiting your games, maybe just doing home games, maybe

68
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 8: doing or or was it just always just I'm gonna

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 8: do all the games where I'm not gonna do any games.

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 7: No.

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: Two years ago, when I signed my last contract with

72
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 6: I you know, worked it out with Greg Green and

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 6: we did a two year deal where I did all

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 6: the games last season and what a year it was,

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 6: became so close to the World Series. So this year,

76
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 6: I'm going to do all the home games and just

77
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 6: go on four road trips, the West Coast trips and

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 6: then one two in Chicago so I can see my brother,

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 6: my sister in law, my best buddy who I grew

80
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,880

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 6: do about one hundred games this year. So I'm gonna

82
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 6: gear back a little bit, but I'm going to make

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 6: sure that you know, I do the last month of

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,760

Speaker 5: Greg Gamart this as well.

94
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: You're doing one hundred games, I would love to see

95
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: you do a few games on television this year because

96
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: a lot of people are at home, they're watching on TV.

97
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're not in your car or whatever.

98
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 4: Is that possible that we can see you on TV

99
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: a little bit to kind of give that audience a

100
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: little bit of a goodbye as well.

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what they have planned, you know,

102
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 6: during the course of the year. I did twenty five

103
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 6: my first twenty five years here with Daytony House on

104
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 6: television and that was so much fun working with the

105
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 6: likes of Wes Stock and Nelly Bryles and Joe Simpson,

106
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 6: Ken Brett Anderson, Mike blauer Is, Jay Buhner, Dave Valley,

107
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 6: and Dan Wilson, you know, and I had a lot

108
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 6: of fun. I filled in for Aaron for five games

109
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 6: earlier this year on television when we were in Baltimore

110
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 6: and New York to play the Mets, and that was

111
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 6: a lot of fun. So I don't know what they

112
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 6: have planned, but I do not want to interfere with

113
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 6: the guys on TV. I'm gonna well, I'm going to

114
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 6: do whatever they would like me to do. But I'll

115
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 6: tell you what, Softian Dick, I'm going to enjoy every

116
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 6: drop of the twenty twenty sixth season, you know where

117
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,880

141
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 8: Thanks, This has been a golden year, no question about it. Well,

142
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 8: you mentioned Dave, and I was going to ask you

143
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 8: about Dave, because I know he was. He was looking

144
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 8: down on you, probably with a tear in his eye

145
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 8: when you had tears in your eyes at that press conference.

146
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: What did you learn?

147
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: What did you learn from Dave Rick?

148
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 6: Oh, that's a great question. I've learned so much from him.

149
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 6: But the main thing I learned is that it may

150
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 6: be a bad game, but it doesn't have to be

151
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 6: a bad broadcast, he said. So we entertained people. He

152
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 6: was the best at it, telling stories, we laugh, we joked,

153
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 6: And if the Mariners lost eleven to one, hey, don't

154
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 6: forget tomorrow night is you know batting help at night,

155
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 6: you know, out at the Kingdom, Come on by and

156
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 6: bring the kids. And he entertained everybody with the stories

157
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 6: and his excitement when great things did start to happen,

158
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 6: especially the greatest thing happened when Junior was drafted. I'm

159
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 6: sitting in the Ken Griffy Junior room right now, and

160
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 6: I see pictures of King Griffy Junior as a kid,

161
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 6: as a Hall of Famer, and then at the end

162
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: of his career, and so he taught me to have fun.

163
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 6: He taught me to tell stories. Opening day after here's

164
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 6: in the minor leagues, guys, you know, here I am

165
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 6: in the Kingdome. I thought it was the taj Mahal

166
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 6: of baseball.

167
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: For me.

168
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 6: It was after eight years of the miners riding buses

169
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 6: for two hours, four hours, ten hours, eighteen hours, you know,

170
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 6: in the minor leagues and various cities, and here I am.

171
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 6: It's the Mariners against the Yankees, and kay Lord Pierry

172
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 6: against Ryan Gidry. And I was so excited like him now,

173
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 6: and I was talking after every pitch, you know, it

174
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 6: was so excited. After about two innings, mister Neehouse had enough.

175
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 6: He reached over to off on mid Mike and he said,

176
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 6: you don't have to talk after Derby Pittrick. All right, Dave,

177
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 6: all right, Dave. Oh So I learned the great lesson there.

178
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 6: And he was the greatest UH storyteller of all time.

179
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 6: And in his timing was brilliant, you know, especially in

180
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety five before I hit the double, he said,

181
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 6: you know, oh, what the Mariners would love, right here

182
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 6: is a line drive in the gap right now with

183
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: Junior's speed at first base. The Marinas to win it

184
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 6: swinging a line drive with a love field. Here comes

185
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 6: Joey game tie Junior third. They're gonna wave a mid

186
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 6: the throw will be late. The Mariners are gonna play

187
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 6: for the Beargar League Championship. I don't believe it, mild,

188
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 6: but it just did you. He was the best. He's

189
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 6: in the Hall of Fame where he deserves to be.

190
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 6: And uh, I could go on and on on what

191
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 6: I learned from him. You know, think about the fans,

192
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 6: whatever's going on in your life, check it at the door,

193
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 6: because the fans, you know, need for you to be

194
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 6: there and be there for the moment and respect the game.

195
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 6: But the main thing is it might be a bad game,

196
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 6: but it doesn't have to be a bad broadcast. When

197
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 6: it was a great game, he was at his best.

198
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 5: Right.

199
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 4: Well, Rick riz Is with us announced a couple of

200
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: days ago this will be his last season with the

201
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: Mariners as a broadcaster. And you know, you got a

202
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: lot of stories, man, I hope that you either consider

203
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 4: maybe writing a book or maybe even doing like a

204
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: podcast series with somebody. When it's all said to do

205
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 4: with all these stories that you've got heck, we could

206
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: help you do it here on the radio station, for

207
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: God's sakes. But there's so much knowledge and so many

208
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 4: stories in there. And you mentioned or excuse me, we

209
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: heard the Soho call coming in. And I gotta tell you,

210
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 4: I think one thing as a broadcaster that you guys

211
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: missed is what it feels like to watch that stuff

212
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: from the stands with the fans. My dad and I

213
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: ended up on the floor of the Kingdome, the cement

214
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: floor of the Kingdome, on our backs when when Luis

215
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 4: Soho cleared the bases against the Angels, crying like babies.

216
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 4: And that's one thing that you guys don't get when

217
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: you're sitting in the broadcast.

218
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah right.

219
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: I wonder, like Rudy, remember the famous line from Rudy

220
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: from like Charles Dutton, I've never watched a game from

221
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 4: the sta Are we gonna see you with the stands,

222
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 4: with us, having a hot dog, having a beer, going

223
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 4: nuts for the Mariners, with the fans when you're done, no.

224
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 6: Doubt about it. I'll have some tickets and I'll be

225
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 6: here sitting there watching the game with my friends, and

226
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a lot of fun and yep, I'm

227
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 6: really looking forward to that.

228
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: You know, when was the last time you did that?

229
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 6: I could think that, Rick, when was the.

230
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: Last time you did that? Sat in the stands for

231
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 5: a baseball game?

232
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 6: And fifty one years one time? Wow, it was when

233
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 6: the All Star Game was here in two thousand and one.

234
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 6: I had a friend of mine with her two boys,

235
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 6: and we sat behind the third bait dugout. So it

236
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 6: was the first time ever sat in the stands to

237
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 6: watch a game. And I told my friend, I said,

238
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 6: I'm gonna yell at the Empire right now. She goes,

239
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 6: what are you doing? I said, I could do that.

240
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: I could yell at the Empire. You know, I could

241
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 6: do that the radio.

242
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 4: You know, so you've never seen a Mariner game ever

243
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 4: from the stands, not one time.

244
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 6: Well, i'll tell you what. It was interesting that you

245
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 6: asked that question, because one year, when we're a Fox,

246
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 6: long before we were Roots Sports, I broadcast from about

247
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 6: five different areas of the ballpark, you know. I started

248
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 6: up in the hitting their cafe on the patio. Then

249
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 6: I went to left center field to the landing out

250
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 6: there by the pen, and then I went down the

251
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 6: left field line, then went up to the lookout landing.

252
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 6: Then I went behind home plate, actually sitting in standum,

253
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 6: and I broadcast again. Well, Daveney House and Ron Fairley

254
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 6: were in the camp camera, well on this side of

255
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 6: the Marines first base. Ig got So I kind of

256
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 6: did one game, but I was working. I was broadcasting.

257
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: It was interesting, it was fun, Rick, I don't sit there.

258
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 6: Haven't done it.

259
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh, go finish, finish the story.

260
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 6: Absolutely, no, No, that's it. Yeah. But but sitting there

261
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 6: like I did. That was the one time in the

262
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 6: All Star Game.

263
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 8: Oh man, Rick, you mentioned ninety five, and I never

264
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 8: thought we'd see anything close to that. But then here

265
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 8: we are September fifth of this past year. We're seventy

266
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 8: three and sixty eight. There is no certainty at all

267
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 8: that this team is going to go to the playoffs,

268
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 8: and then they go seventeen and one over their next

269
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 8: eighteen games. So how do you compare what you just

270
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 8: called in September of twenty twenty five to what you

271
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 8: called in September of ninety five.

272
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 6: It was the Cheetos, the magic Cheetos. Tell me, we

273
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 6: had two long road trips to the East Coast, and

274
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 6: we had a rough time in Philadelphia, and Tampa Bay.

275
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 6: We ended up being swept. Went to Atlanta toward the

276
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 6: end of the trip, we lost, and then Jerry Depoto

277
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 6: brought into bag of Cheetos because the year before I

278
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 6: would go in as the sweet next to ours and

279
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 6: I'd be hungry. I said, Jerry, can I grab something?

280
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: He said, yeah, there's always nice food in there, and

281
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 6: I said, no, just a bag of Cheetos. So I

282
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 6: had a bag of Cheetos. The next day Jerry brought

283
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 6: in a bag of Cheetos and we won, and then

284
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 6: the next day he brought in another bag and we won.

285
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 6: So this was a couple of years ago, so this

286
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 6: year weren't Atlanta winding down a long road trip and

287
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 6: a bad trip. We lost to Chris Sale in the

288
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 6: first game for the Ones. Then the second game, Jerry

289
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 6: to put I don't know where he found the Cheetos,

290
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 6: but he brought into bag of Cheetos and we won

291
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 6: ten to two. And then the next afternoon, final game

292
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 6: of the road trip in Atlanta, brought in Baga Chetto's.

293
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 6: We won eighteen to two, and then we fly all

294
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 6: the way home. We got to play the next night

295
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 6: after flying from Atlanta back to Seattle. We played Saint

296
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 6: Louis and he brought into Baga chetos and we won.

297
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 6: Then the next day no cheetos. And then after about

298
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 6: the first inning, I go in. I go Jerry, where

299
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 6: are the dog dog chetos? He said, I can't find Eddy.

300
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 6: So he got a hold of Trevor Goolby, who was

301
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 6: the director of ballpark operations, and Trevor went all around

302
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 6: the ballpark. He somehow found of bagua chetos. So Jerry

303
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 6: came in brought the cheetos. As soon as he brought

304
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 6: him in, we scored two runs, ended up winning the ballgame,

305
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 6: and then a couple days later he brought Gona Batch.

306
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 6: We won like nine games in a row, kept bringing

307
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 6: in the cheetos, and then we won seventeen out of

308
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: eighteen games. But it had something to do with the

309
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 6: talent on the field. The pitching clicked in. Josh Naylor

310
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 6: was a huge addition. Cal Rowley had the historic year

311
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 6: with sixty home runs. It was just an amazing run.

312
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 6: And I give Dan Wilson, the coaching staff and the

313
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,280

Speaker 5: he's got to go. He's got an event to go

353
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 5: to tonight. And he's the last tie to our childhood.

354
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 8: He's the last broadcasting tie to our child.

355
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 5: Oh, Rabel, you can say Rabel.

356
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 4: Maybe you know Rabel when we were a little He

357
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: was also doing color when I was in my teenage years. Right,

358
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: I think for the most part, you're right. I mean,

359
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: it's your point is taken that you know, this makes

360
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 4: us feel a little man.

361
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: If Rickriz is not going to work, the why the

362
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: hell do we have to work for? Prian out loud?

363
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: But he is.

364
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask him and we weren't out of time.

365
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: Just he's been one of the most positive people ever.

366
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 4: You never hear him get angry. You never hear him,

367
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: you know, obviously get upset with anybody. I don't even

368
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 4: know anybody who ever knows what it sounds like when

369
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: he yells at him. There was a moment and back

370
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 4: in I think it was two thousand and one when

371
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 4: I went into the clubhouse and David Bell was leading

372
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: the American League All Star voting at third base, and

373
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 4: I asked David Bell, I had been in the business

374
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: for like five or six years, and I asked him,

375
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, hey, you know, do you feel

376
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: kind of weird like doing that? Like you're not You're

377
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: hitting like two twenty and you're and he's like, you know,

378
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: what am I supposed to do? I mean, these guys

379
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: are voting right, And Rick Riz pulled me aside and

380
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: he said, you know what, you probably shouldn't have said that,

381
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 4: And that was it.

382
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 5: That was nothing.

383
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: I just that's that's the jo I felt like an idiot.

384
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 4: That's the closest he's saying.

385
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 5: I'm just Tony. He's a friend. And it did so nice. Now, yeah,

386
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 5: probably should have said that. He packed me on the

387
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: back while he's doing it.

388
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: You know, Jackson, you've got a story right about Rick

389
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 4: Riz when you were young, and you put a picture

390
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: on Twitter today that I can't even believe, is you

391
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: By the way, It's like if if you shaved jew Bacca,

392
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 4: what's under Chewbacca would be like Jackson Felts, right, Yes,

393
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: that's what that picture looked like.

394
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: So you met him when you were what twenty is

395
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 5: that right?

396
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've met him in twenty eleven when I was

397
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 9: I guess that would have been, yeah, nineteen years old.

398
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 9: And I was to see how Pacific University had this

399
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 9: cool mentor program that kind of connects you with professionals

400
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 9: in your desired field. And I did it three different times,

401
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 9: once with with collabor once with Mike Gastono That's why

402
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 9: I'm sitting here in this booth right now. And then

403
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 9: the first time I did it was with Rick and

404
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 9: he said, come on into the stadium, come on in

405
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 9: it like what was it about one o'clock and job

406
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 9: shadow me for the whole afternoon doing interviews and the

407
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 9: press and everything else. And and then just coming to

408
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 9: the booth me and Ron Fair and watch them do

409
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 9: a whole game together. Conversations off the air and listening

410
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 9: to Jay Buner swear off the air was a.

411
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 10: Bunch of fun.

412
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 5: But no, I mean just overall, just watching.

413
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 9: The way that he puts in the work that he

414
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 9: puts in on a random I think it was like

415
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 9: a random Tuesday in.

416
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 5: July ar or add June or whatever it was, and just.

417
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 10: A random even Tuesday night game.

418
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 9: Seeing the work that he put in for that broadcast

419
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 9: was like, damn, I want to be in radio rather

420
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 9: than having to do what he does, because.

421
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 10: That's a lot of work.

422
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 5: And joking aside, like.

423
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 9: This is a man who loves what he does, I

424
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 9: think more than absolutely anything. And all you need to

425
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 9: do is spend one afternoon and evening with him to

426
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 9: see that he absolutely loves every single second of every

427
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 9: day at work.

428
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 4: Well, when Dave Neihouse died, I said to everybody, I said,

429
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: when the Marrors make the World Series, it won't be

430
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 4: the same because Dave won't be.

431
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 5: There to call it. And I just think it's the

432
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: same thing with rizmn.

433
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 4: I mean, if they made the World Series, he would

434
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: have done some radio obviously, and you would have been

435
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: able to hear him do that.

436
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: We cannot go fifty one years? Is that what it

437
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 5: would be?

438
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: Now? Fifty one years without Dave Kneehouse or Rick riz

439
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 4: getting to call the Mariners in the World Series. They've

440
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: got to get this done. They have to do it

441
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 4: for him this next season.

442
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 8: Absolutely, and I almost feel like if we can get

443
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 8: there while Rick is still on the broadcast, it almost

444
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 8: kind of ties us to Dave.

445
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: You know, so this we got one more shot.

446
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,399

Speaker 4: on his hands and knees to get the scoop that

493
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 4: other reporters just will not go for.

494
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 5: With John Schneider today at his press conference.

495
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 8: John, you mentioned you had some teams underachieved, some teams overachieved.

496
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 8: Do you feel like this is one that overachieved based

497
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 8: upon your preseason expectations?

498
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 7: Uh? Great question? Uh, Paul, He's that, like, what what's

499
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 7: the record gonna be?

500
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 12: I'm like, you know, uh, you're you're trying to tell

501
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 12: a guy that like, you know, started Microsoft, Like you know,

502
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 12: I think we're gonna be nine and seven. You know

503
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 12: what I mean, It's all about like expectations and like,

504
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 12: but I think when we when we got into training camp,

505
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 12: watching how uh Sam was like interacting, you know with

506
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 12: his teammates and then like however, he was like really

507
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 12: buying in uh the walkarounds and MIC's making it about

508
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 12: the continuity and the connectedness.

509
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 7: I was kind of like, mang, these guys.

510
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 12: Are but I'm Catholic and in a Warrior or two,

511
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 12: so it's like, alright, well where are we deficient? So

512
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 12: I always things like that, you know.

513
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 7: Like where where? Where are we? What are we missing?

514
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 7: So my brain's I was kind of rapping like that.

515
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 8: You got to run there were you either picking late

516
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 8: in the first round or didn't used to pick it all?

517
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 7: You look at the last few.

518
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 12: Jabs, Charles Spoon, Jack's Gray Murphy, like, what have you

519
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 12: thought of the way your your first round guys have

520
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 12: really helped you get to where you guys are right now?

521
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 12: Check some balances, I would say, so you know, No Teasley,

522
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 12: Trent Kirshner, Matt Berry, Aaron him Line, Jason Barnes, like

523
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 12: all these people that we.

524
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: Spend a ton of time with at this time of.

525
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 13: The year, right, like figuring out where we're gonna go

526
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 13: and then learning from our like mishaps or yeah, and

527
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 13: and how do we how do we constantly improve on that?

528
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 13: And we do it every year and we've we've I

529
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 13: think those guys have like done a great job of

530
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 13: like alright, like what's a seahawk?

531
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: Right?

532
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 7: And we just keep pounding that And then to go

533
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 7: to go through it with.

534
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 12: A new staff is just a natural reset. So now

535
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 12: you have a new Titans coach, You got a new run.

536
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

537
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 12: You get a small group of new people that you're learning,

538
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 12: you're trying to evaluate, and so all those people coming

539
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 12: together like Okay, it's kind of a cool reset figuring.

540
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 7: Out Yeah, how how you how you sharpen your skills? Ja,

541

Speaker 12: to year, right, we looked for each got to go

545
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 12: two three years out planning from a planning standpoint, But

546
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 12: I've never known this is not an arrogant thing to

547
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 12: say at all, but I've never felt like we haven't

548
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 12: been set up for success.

549
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 6: Did you you just got the U did the deal

550
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 6: with Charles a couple of weeks ago.

551
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 7: Yeah? How important was that to get that dynamic? Huge? Huge?

552
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 12: We have a lot of work to do coming up,

553
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 12: you know, inv uh investing, you know, getting Joey's approval

554
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 12: to be able to invest in the person was big

555
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 12: for us. So here were you know, we were able

556
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 12: to uh work it out Joey Joey Lane did an

557
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 12: amazing job with that and just kind of like just

558
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 12: day to day it was. It probably went on for

559
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 12: I don't know, maybe like four or five weeks.

560
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 7: What's Kenneth Walker showing you for a suture?

561
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 13: Uh, he's been awesome, I mean explosive.

562
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 7: He's a free agent. We let that him back.

563
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, John, does it mean anything to you that it's

564
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 8: a rematch with the Patriots.

565
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 7: In the Super Bowl? No, I've tried to like have

566
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 7: that like that.

567
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 12: Yeah, m thanks for that. Uh yeah, try not to

568
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 12: think about that too. That was an amazing game though,

569
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 12: But no, it really doesn't. It's like, okay, like, what

570
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 12: what's the next team we're playing? It doesn't.

571
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: I don't think he's thinking about it much now, but

572
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 4: he's sure, damn will when they win. If they do win,

573
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 4: they'll think about that about this being the Patriots, absolut

574
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: precolutely he will. I mean when you build something and

575
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: it's it's different for a general manager excuse me, or

576
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 4: a president or VP of ops or whatever, because outside

577
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 4: of scouting people for the deadline and scout in the draft,

578
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: there's really not much more you can do to help

579
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 4: that team. I mean, you're talking about Rashid shi Heed,

580
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: Ernest Jones, Leonard Williams, and even once the deadline goes

581
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: like this is, you've done it. You've given the coach

582
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: the team, it's his team, and now you're sitting around

583
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: and you're kind of helpless in some ways, right, there's

584
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 4: not much more you can do. So I don't have

585
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 4: any doubt that John Schneider and I think that probably

586
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: is the attitude from most people in the organization walking

587
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 4: around because none of these guys were here. I mean,

588
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: John's the only guy, the PR people and all that

589
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 4: that we're here, Eric Kennedy, equipment guy, whatever. But I

590
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 4: mean the ninety nine percent of the people on the

591
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 4: team won't even hear them. But if they if they

592
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: win this game and they kind of slay the dragon

593
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 4: a little bit, exercise the demons, if you will, and

594
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: then going to next year is probably the favorite to

595
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: win it again.

596
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 5: Yes, I think it's absolutely something John's.

597
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: I think going back to back has been on his

598
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 4: bucket list ever since that interception.

599
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 8: I think I think that the co favorites already to

600
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 8: go back, the RAMS, Bills and next year are all

601
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 8: all there, like ten to one right now for next year.

602
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 8: But boy, when he was asked about that Patriot game,

603
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 8: there is zero question that it's still haunts him, right,

604
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 8: I mean he looked, he just the look in his

605
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 8: eyes like you could just you could kind of see

606
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 8: him taking back eleven years to that moment and it

607
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 8: still pains him. And I think the pain will be

608
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 8: a lot less should if we can get a little

609
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 8: revenge next week.

610
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 5: I think it pains everybody.

611
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 4: I mean, how could it not like to say that, Well,

612
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: he doesn't think about that, doesn't about bull crap. Yeah,

613
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 4: it's the worst moment one of his career, right, absolutely human.

614
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: I mean it pains me, it pains you, It pains

615
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: everybody who was a part of that freaking thing. I

616
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 4: got vivid memories of turning around and pounding my fist

617
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 4: on the seat, almost breaking my hand. After we threw

618
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 4: that interception against New England. My dad's and mom were there.

619
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 4: I mean, the only chance I ever had to take

620
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 4: my parents to a Super Bowl, and that happened like

621
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: literally right in front of us, right in front of

622
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 4: our seats were on the ten yard line, did we

623
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: were right there like twenty rows up?

624
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 5: And I told you what I saw.

625
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: After the interception, Marshall Lynch walked off the field, just left,

626
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 4: went into the locker room to my right, took off

627
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 4: thinking to myself, meant, if the Patriots botched this knee

628
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 4: and somehow, some way they dribble, the snap's not there, I.

629
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: Mean, dude, like that's the kind of stuff that could happen.

630
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 4: So I don't know, man, I'm not overly thinking about

631
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 4: it this week, but it's going to be shoved in

632
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: your face a lot on television, especially on game day,

633
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: for two reasons. Number one, it's the Patriots again, and

634
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 4: number two, NBC has the call. They also had the

635
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 4: call eleven years ago. I've decided to embrace it.

636
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 8: Every time I see it, I'm going to embrace it,

637
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 8: and I'm gonna tell myself.

638
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: We're getting ours on Sunday.

639
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 8: Good, That is what I'm telling I'm not gonna cringe

640
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 8: from it. I'm not gonna shy away from him. And like,

641
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 8: this is gonna be Jackson knows all about this. This is

642
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 8: gonna be cathartic for me this week because I'm gonna

643
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 8: see it one hundred times. I'm just gonna take it

644
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 8: all in and it's gonna make the win that much sweeter.

645
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you something right now.

646
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 4: If they do win on Sunday, And here's the kind

647
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: of crappy part about this, Just like Met Life, we

648
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 4: had to get into a train and go all the

649
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: way back to New York City after the game has

650
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: over too a couple hours to get back. We're doing

651
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: the same thing next Sunday. You know, whether win or lose,

652
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 4: there's not a lot going on around Levi Stadium. Seahawk

653
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 4: fans will kind of disperse and they'll go many different ways.

654
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: Some will go San Jose, some will go Santa Clara,

655
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 4: some will go Oakland, some will go San Francisco.

656
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 5: Whatever.

657
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: There's not one central spot I think for Seahawk fans

658
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: to party. But I will tell you this right now,

659
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 4: and I've already made this promise to Gina. If we

660
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 4: win next Sunday, I will destroy my liver after the

661
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,320

Speaker 10: Can you believe this, man?

723
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 8: I mean, this is what seven eight months after you

724
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 8: get drafted and here you are preparing for a super

725
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 8: Bowl in.

726
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 10: Your first year.

727
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty surreal to have the opportunity to go.

728
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 7: Try and win the last game of the season.

729
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: And big kudos to the staff, the coaches, the guys

730
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: in the locker room, a lot of bets on the

731
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: team that kind of showed me the way and give

732
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: me the opportunity to be able to go and play

733
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: in two Sundays.

734
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 8: There was a lot of talk going into the season

735
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 8: and one of the reasons why you were drafted is

736
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 8: the week length of this team is the offensive line.

737
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 10: The offensive line needs to get fixed.

738
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 8: How much of that was kind of a rallying cry

739
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 8: for you guys this year to really step.

740
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 10: Up and be a strength of this team, which is

741
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 10: what you become.

742
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think.

743
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: Just every single day just coming with the mindset to

744
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: get better. I think the coaches have done a really

745
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: good job of putting the right pieces in the right places,

746
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: and then the vets in the old line room that

747
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 3: are striving to get.

748
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 7: Better every single day.

749
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 3: So just the continued effort to get one percent better

750
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: every single day.

751
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 8: What's been the difference in the run game the last

752
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 8: six weeks or so that you guys just seem to

753
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 8: be a opening up holes for Ken and he is

754
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 8: just running at an unbelievable level.

755
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 7: Yeah. I just think just continuing to get better.

756
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: I mean it's not going to be perfect every single down,

757
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 3: but just continuing to try and play our best football

758
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: play after play.

759
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 7: And I think a big kudos the running backs.

760
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 3: Way they've been running the ball, It's been pretty remarkable

761
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: and they've been doing extremely well.

762
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 7: So there's kind of a mix of a lot of things.

763
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: And maybe it's even the coaches understanding what we do

764
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 3: better than not do so great at So I think

765
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: it's just top to bottom, just the ability getting better

766
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 3: because truly kind of success driven.

767
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 7: Give us some insight.

768
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 8: Of what Sam means to you guys, because it seems

769
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 8: like the twelves and really people that aren't even twelves,

770
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 8: just general football fans, seem to be genuinely happy for

771
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 8: this guy and what he has achieved versus what he

772
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 8: has gone through criticism wise over the last few years.

773
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 8: How much of that is just trickled down to this

774
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 8: locker room.

775
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Sam's the type of guy where the

776
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: only opinions that matter the guys in the locker room,

777
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: guys in the team room, and the coaches. And I

778
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: think Sam does a great job of blocking everybody else out.

779
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: And kudos to Sam if having the mentality of he's

780
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: just going to continue to get better. And I think

781
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: that's the type of guy you want to block for,

782
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: a guy you want to play for, is he's a

783
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 3: guy that's going to take all the blame when it

784
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: isn't even his blame to be taken, so he surely

785
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: won to one and a great dude, And I couldn't

786
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: ask for a better player, teammate, friend, leader, quarterback to

787
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: be able to protect on Sundays.

788
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 7: So looking forward to doing that for as long as

789
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 7: I can.

790
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 8: Finally, how are you gonna embrace these next two weeks? Obvious,

791
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 8: you're gonna be focused. You've got a job to do,

792
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 8: But I mean, you want to remember this for the

793
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 8: rest of your life too. You don't want it to

794
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 8: be just such focused on the job at hand that

795
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 8: you forget all the fun stuff that happens around the

796
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 8: Super Bowl.

797
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just understanding when we got to be

798
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: dialed into football and when we can take kind of

799
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: a step away from football and be able to soak

800
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: up and witness everything that's happening in the Super Bowl week.

801
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: But right now, we's truly got to be focused on

802
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 3: going and winning the game, because it's gonna be a

803
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 3: lot better after the.

804
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 7: Game if you win versus lose.

805
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: So we don't want to leave any rocks unturned or

806
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: any doubt out there what could have been or what

807
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: we could have done better. So just having the understanding

808
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: to keep our eyes on that Sunday to go win

809
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 3: a football game.

810
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 10: Great job, appreciate it, good luck.

811
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 7: Thank you.

812
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: So he's got a brother who I saw before the

813
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 4: game on Sunday who looks just like him. He plays

814
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 4: tight end for North Dakota State. He's got the mustache,

815
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 4: all to the porn stash, the whole thing looks He

816
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 4: looks like a skinnier Graysabel. He looks like Grey's Abel,

817
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 4: if Greysabel wasn't bloated. Eve, I'm talking about all right,

818
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 4: he looks just like him. But I was looking up

819
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 4: some numbers, Dick as you're talking to Gray there. Great

820
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: job with him, by the way, Kenny Walker the last

821
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 4: five games is averaging five and a half yards of carry,

822
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 4: and that includes the playoffs and would have been on

823
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 4: a fourteen hundred and fifty yard pace the last five weeks. Geez,

824
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 4: he has run for four hundred and twenty six yards

825
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 4: the last five games. He was at four forty nine

826
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 4: the previous nine. I mean, he went from week six

827
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 4: to week fourteen really kind of doing nothing, and then

828
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 4: all of a sudden stepped it up against the Rams.

829
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 5: I mean, the running game looks totally different right now.

830
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 8: And part of that is is the way Kenny Walker's running.

831
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I just see a different sense of urgency

832
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 8: in almost a different style in ken Walker. And we'll

833
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 8: play my conversation with ken Walker a little bit later

834
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 8: on either today or tomorrow. But I mean, he just

835
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 8: he is gone from kind of a dancing running back

836
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 8: to a hit the hole, make one cut and then

837
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 8: carry two guys for another three or four yards. I mean,

838
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 8: he is truly looking like a man possessed right now.

839
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 8: And we're gonna need that because, I mean, the one

840
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 8: worry I have in this game is that front of

841
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 8: the New England Patriots. Right if we can establish the

842
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 8: run and let Sam Darnold do his play action magic,

843
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 8: then we're gonna be in great shape.

844
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 7: Well.

845
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: I think the other thing too, is that for the

846
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 4: Seahawks on the opposite side of the ball, they do

847
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 4: a great job of getting home with just four The

848
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 4: amount of times that they blitz, which is not very often,

849
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 4: is ridiculous. I mean, it's unbelievable the job they've done

850
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 4: with just four guys. How about the other side of

851
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 4: the ball, well, kind of right next to him, but

852
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 4: moving down the line, Jalen Sundal Seahawks center Dick had

853
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 4: a chance to catch up with him today at the vMac.

854
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 8: Jallen will start things out the way I did with

855
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 8: Gray just a moment ago. You and him come into

856
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 8: this offensive line that had been really scrutinized and really

857
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 8: criticized over the last few years, really helped stabilize it.

858
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,479
Speaker 8: How much was that a rallying cry for you guys

859
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 8: to start the season when you know a lot of

860
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 8: the focus was on how the offensive line had performed

861
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 8: the last couple of years.

862
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, we knew that was a narrative of

863
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 14: Seattle and that was one of our wolves as a

864
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 14: group to make that not be the narrative that the

865
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 14: line is the weakest link. And you know, that was,

866
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 14: you know, something that we wanted to take pride in

867
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 14: doing and making a strong point for our team, you know,

868
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 14: something that guys can rely on and get energy from.

869
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 7: And yeah, that was a big point of emphasis for us.

870
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 8: Another narrative that changed from the middle of the season

871
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 8: to the end of the year was the run game.

872
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 6: Right.

873
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 10: It's like, oh, yeah, you're.

874
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 8: Pass blocking well, you're protecting well, but man, the run

875
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 8: games is kind of not where it needs to be

876
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden bang, November December hit,

877
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 8: January hits.

878
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 10: So what's been the difference in your mind about that?

879
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't know if there's a huge difference other

880
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 14: than we've just kept attacking, especially at practice, you know,

881
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 14: just continuing to get better every day at practice. And

882
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 14: you know, it's not like we're doing anything different schematically.

883
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 14: We're doing the same stuff that we've been doing. I

884
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 14: think we're just executing better and you know we've gotten

885
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 14: better as as a unit.

886
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 8: How easy have been hasn't been for you just to

887
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 8: acclimate yourself to being a starter in the NFL, being

888
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 8: Sam's guy with the ball in your hand every play.

889
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's been good.

890
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 14: It hasn't been anything crazy, I guess, Uh, you know,

891
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 14: football's football, and you know, it's been great to have

892
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 14: Sam back there and you know, being so poised all

893
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 14: the time and having a vet that you know a

894
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 14: lot of the little things that you know, allowing us

895
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 14: to make calls at the line of scrimmage and you know,

896
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 14: making sure we're you know, all.

897
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 7: On the same page.

898
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 14: Cadence wise, that can be easily lost, I think with

899
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 14: younger quarterbacks and you know, having a vet and a

900
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 14: guy like Sam has made it really easy for all

901
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 14: of us.

902
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 8: For your last six or seven games have been his

903
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 8: two teams. Teams you know really, really well. You know

904
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 8: everything about the Rams defensive line forty Nineers defensive line.

905
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 10: You don't know as much about the Patriots defensive line.

906
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 8: So how much is it just going to be learning

907
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 8: about them over the next ten days or how much

908
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 8: is it just you guys doing your thing both?

909
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 14: I guess, uh, you know, we gotta do, you know,

910
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 14: a lot of film watching. Thankfully we get, you know,

911
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 14: extra time.

912
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 7: To do that. So yeah, I mean, we're gonna We're

913
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 7: gonna do both. I guess what.

914
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 8: About the role of being a favorite? I mean, the

915
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:30,399
Speaker 8: Seahawks have been underdogs or even even and every super

916
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 8: Bowl they've been in they have not been a prohibitive

917
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 8: favorite before. How how dangerous is that for a favorite

918
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 8: in the Super Bowl to go in thinking when you

919
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 8: see all the TV networks and they're all picking you guys.

920
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 14: To win, it doesn't matter. I guess to us, we're

921
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 14: gonna do things the same way. We don't really care

922
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 14: what other people think. We're favorites or underdogs. It really

923
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 14: makes no difference, So it doesn't matter.

924
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 10: Does it motivate the opposition?

925
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm sure you've been motivated before when people

926
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 8: say you can't win or you're an underdog and you

927
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 8: got no chance, right, I mean, how does that does that?

928
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 10: Is that a motivator vating factor for them?

929
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 7: You think? Maybe? I guess, I don't know.

930
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 14: I'm just trying to keep every game the same And

931
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 14: it doesn't matter what whose opinions are, who thinks going

932
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 14: to win the game?

933
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 10: Other than winning?

934
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:12,919
Speaker 8: What do you want to take out of these next

935
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 8: two weeks? How you want to make this a memorable

936
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 8: experience for Jalen Sindel for the rest.

937
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 7: Of your life.

938
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, just cherishing you know, the time that

939
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 14: we get with this team. You know this team will

940
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 14: never be the same. Unfortunately, that's just how the league works.

941
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 14: So you know, we've had a really close knit group

942
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 14: this year and we're gonna enjoy it.

943
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 8: But that being said, I mean, it's not an old team.

944
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 8: It's not like a team that is on the decline.

945
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 10: Right, So it's true. I mean you could you could

946
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 10: have a core for a long long time.

947
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's true, and that's exciting you know, hopefully we'll

948
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,959
Speaker 14: majority of the guys will be here.

949
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 7: For a long time.

950
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 10: Heay, great job, man, appreciate it.

951
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 7: Thanks.

952
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, man, I'm starting to think the

953
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 4: Seahawks are about to do something they haven't done in

954
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:54,919
Speaker 4: a very, very long time.

955
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 5: Well, let me take that back.

956
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: What win a Super Bowl?

957
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 4: And I was gonna say they're going to bring back

958
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 4: their entire starting five offensive line there right. I don't

959
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 4: know if that's going to happen though, No, they'll have four.

960
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 4: Bradford might be the odd man out. We'll see, you know,

961
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 4: they might think of Bradford in different uh light than

962
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: we do. I don't know what their thoughts aren't Anthony Bradford,

963
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 4: but it's obvious that he's the weakest link of the five. Yes,

964
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 4: but North Dakota State has another guard, a right guard

965
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 4: that's playing for them right now. His name, it's been working.

966
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 4: I was on those yay who's in Fargo there today?

967
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 4: Oh you gotta get this guy. I've been on with

968
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 4: them three or four times. Yeah, it's awesome. But there's

969
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 4: another guy in North Dakota State that the Hawks may

970
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 4: want to take a look at. I do wonder if

971
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 4: they bring all five back next year, Dick, what they

972
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: think about Bradford?

973
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: He hasn't been.

974
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 8: A liability, right, but he's the one position on the

975
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 8: team and he was called it the worst position on

976
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 8: the team.

977
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 5: I think he would he would say it's a liability.

978
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 8: I would say, this is a champion and chip caliber roster,

979
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 8: and we are at least good to very good to

980
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 8: great at every starting position except one. Well, so why

981
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 8: not make that course starting portion at least good?

982
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 4: I mean, if we're looking ahead the next year, which whatever,

983
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 4: I mean, they probably need a little more depth and

984
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 4: wide receiver.

985
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 5: Figure that out. Maybe they have guys here they can

986
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 5: do it now.

987
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 4: Maybe a slight upgrade at tight end potentially right guard

988
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 4: for sure, no doubt what happens with the running back position.

989
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 4: With K nine's contract coming up next season, maybe you

990
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 4: look at a little more you know, edge rush potentially

991
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 4: for depth there. But yeah, I mean, every team's got

992
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 4: a weakness. Nobody's perfect with fifty four guys, and if

993
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: Bradford is the weakness, then so be it.

994
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 5: We're gonna break
