1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,760
Speaker 1: Where we go.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 2: I take off for a week and a half and

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: the whole thing goes to hell. Man, the HET's going on?

4
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: Do I have to sit here and babysit you guys

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: all the time for crying out loud? One week in

6
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: Maui and the whole thing's falling apart. The hell's going on?

7
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 3: You're Jackson? How do I fix this thing? Exactly?

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what we'll do. I'll let Jackson work

9
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: on that. It's not my fault, all right, classic line.

10
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure in the end you'll find a way to

11
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: blame me. But hey, good to be back after the

12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: last week and a half hanging out in Maui.

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 3: Man had some fun down there.

14
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: Tried to disconnect from everything going on in the sports world.

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: Hard to do when the Americans are beating the Canadians

16
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: for their first gold medal in hockey since nineteen eighty

17
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: and so let me get this right, because I wasn't here. Okay,

18
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: you can talk to me like I'm a schmuck because

19
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 2: I am a Schmark. So we win the gold medal,

20
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: and I say we because I'm an American? Right, We

21
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: win the gold medal for the first time in forty

22
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: six years and people got mad.

23
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: People got is that the way.

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 4: I should put them Listen going le didn't get mad

25
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 4: immediately after them winning the gold medal.

26
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 1: They got mad maybe twenty minutes after them, when.

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: Twenty minutes and they got mad because the guy's got

28
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: a phone call from the President and he made a

29
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: crack about the women's team that nobody called him on.

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: They got mad because Jack Hughes was skating around celebrating

31
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: the win where the American flag draped over his shoulders.

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: And they got mad because the boys went to the

33
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 2: White House or went to the State of the Union.

34
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: Yes, is that right?

35
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: Certain percentage of America got mad at those particular things.

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: And is this is this still a thing now or

37
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: people moving on? We'll move talk about this. I know

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: what you think by the way I'm asking you, I think.

39
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: I think probably hated the topic.

40
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: In the first place.

41
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: Jackson did not want to touch the tops.

42
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: Shocking by the way I.

43
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: Wanted to touch the topic. And so eventually we did

44
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: touch the top. I just Caresen did not.

45
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: Want to talk.

46
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's just because simply our text line and

47
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: people calling the radio station. I have to deal with

48
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: Ah I mean, overall, I think staying away from politics

49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 5: sports exists, so we can take.

50
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 3: A break from political Dave, let me ask you this question.

51
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 3: I'll give you one response.

52
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: All right, do you think do you think Hugh Millen

53
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: was more on the side of talking about it or

54
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: on Jackson's side.

55
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: I think I know exactly what Hughes take was, and

56
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: I agree with him. I mean, hell man, we won

57
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: the gold medal. The guys are fired up.

58
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: They got an invite from the President to go to

59
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: the State of the Union addressing you know what.

60
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: I got to be honest with you.

61
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend the whole day talking about

62
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: this because we have some stuff we're going to talk

63
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: about going on here in Seattle. But when a sitting

64
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: president makes a joke about anything, the odds are you're

65
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: gonna get a courtesy laugh no matter what happens. And

66
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: it's very difficult in that exact space in time to say,

67
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: you know what, before you continue, mister president, let me

68
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: stop you right there and tell you how inappropriate that

69
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: joke question.

70
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 3: All the people in the room agree with me, you

71
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: should apologize, But are you kidding me?

72
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: That's not how that works with a fortune, five hundred CEO,

73
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: the principle of your high school, your boss, whatever, the president,

74
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: for God's sake. So I don't know, man. I mean, look,

75
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: people have whatever take they want. That's fine, But it

76
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: just was. It was disappointing to be sitting there in Maui.

77
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: And I did not watch the game live because the

78
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: game was at three o'clock in the morning.

79
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: But that's all.

80
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: And we got in late late that night, and I

81
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: regretted it. I wish I would have woken up to

82
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: watch the damn thing. But woke up and saw big

83
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: text thread and saw all the tweets and stuff coming through,

84
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: and hey, good for them. But now we're back in Seattle,

85
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 2: Krack and have all their guys back.

86
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: They're two and two.

87
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: Lane Lambert's gonna join us at three forty five after,

88
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: let's face it, right, a pretty damn big win against Carolina,

89
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: the biggest of the year, no doubt. The three forty five. Today,

90
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear no, go ahead, three No, that's I'm

91
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: talking to you.

92
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 3: You can fix that. That's fine. Three forty five.

93
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: Today we're gonna hear from Lane Lambert, Sam Perkins, big

94
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: smooth at four point thirty, John Wilner at five o'clock,

95
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: and then I know a topic that Jackson's totally fine with.

96
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Sounders FC head coach Brian Schmetzer at five forty.

97
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: Let me quickly say I agree with pretty much everything

98
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: that we've talked about over the last week on the topic.

99
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: I just wanted to stay away from politics because of

100
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: how listeners react to politics on our station.

101
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 6: Well, the.

102
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: Difficult at the text line, Well, I got to be

103
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: honest with you.

104
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: That's how I handle it.

105
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: That seems very easy for you. I gotta be honest

106
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: with you.

107
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: Sports and politics have mixed, and they've mixed for a

108
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: long damn time, man. I mean they've mixed in my

109
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: entire life. I know they've mixed in your entire life.

110
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: And every now and then there's a sports topic that

111
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: comes up where you know, politics interject themselves or vice versa,

112
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: and you can't get.

113
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: Away with it.

114
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, hell, what do you think we were doing

115
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: for you know, three or four years during the Sonic

116
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Arena process with Hansen, it was all politics and city

117
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: councils and king County councils and mayors and the Port

118
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: of Seattle and the ingress Egress and Chuck Armstrong and

119
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: all this stuff going on.

120
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: Maman, that's right, Peckman.

121
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: I would love to no, you know what she should do,

122
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: and I don't know if she's legally allowed to do it.

123
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: Is she with us? By the way, she may have

124
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: passed away.

125
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: She wasn't that old, was she.

126
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but you can still you know, I mean,

127
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: just kN I thought she was like six thought.

128
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: I thought she may have died. I mean, I may

129
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: be she was alive. Okay, Sorry, I apologize to Marsha Pechman.

130
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: I would love to have her one of these days

131
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 2: go to like a charity auction event and say, hey,

132
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: you know what, if we raise fifty thousand dollars, I'll

133
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: tell you what my decision would have been. I'll put

134
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: it in a sealed envelope and somebody will find out.

135
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure she's legally allowed to do that.

136
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: By the way.

137
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: By the way, you should see this computer screen, man.

138
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: It is crazy.

139
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

140
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: There's like fifty different browsers and about eight hundred different

141
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: tabs opening up here on this screen in front of

142
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: my face.

143
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: We thought somebody was trying to remote you take over.

144
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 5: That's not what's happening right now.

145
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: I'll just say, shut her down, man, shut the whole

146
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: thing down, like the like the trash compactor in episode four,

147
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: Shut it down.

148
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: Shut the whole thing down right now.

149
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: But the big story today I think involves the Seahawks,

150
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: where I'm sure you guys talked about this. It's no

151
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: surprise the Seahawks are not going to franchise Kenny Walker.

152
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: So what is the what's the fear level right now

153
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: of the Seahawks losing Kenny Walker? Because I gotta tell you,

154
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: if Tennant's like, oh my god, I'm freaking out, and

155
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: one is like white freak out, he's under contract for

156
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: next year, I'm still closer.

157
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: To a one than I am a ten.

158
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: I'm probably about a four and a half maybe a

159
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: five right now on the idea of Kenny Walker taking off.

160
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: You know, the obvious take is that the closer this

161
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: gets to actually free agency beginning, the more nervous you get.

162
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: Right that when Kenny Walker is going to be able

163
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: to hit the open market and start talking to teams,

164
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: which you know, you're an idiot if you don't think

165
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: his agent's already hearing from people and what's potentially out

166
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: there we know that's going on, but legally, whenever that

167
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: tampering period starts. The closer we get to that, the

168
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: more nervous it becomes. And you know, you want to

169
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 2: say things like, well, if he gets to free agency,

170
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 2: then forget it's not gonna He's gone. I don't believe

171
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: that at all. I think you can get to free agency,

172
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: Seahawks can find out what's going on, they can find

173
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: out what the market is. Kenny Walker can be maybe

174
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: a little bit displeased with what's out there and eventually

175
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: come back to Seattle. It's almost a weird kind of

176
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: dynamic dick because the closer we get to free agency starting,

177
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: I get a little more nervous. But the further away

178
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: we get from free agency starting, like when does free

179
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: agency begins at four days from now March seventh?

180
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: Is that right?

181
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: You're talking about the legal we're talking about.

182
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: Periods, yes, because if I'm not mistaken, when the legal

183
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: tampering period starts, there's gonna be stories that will break

184
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: that will say player X will agree to a contract

185
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: with team, why I have.

186
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: Most of signed?

187
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 4: Most of the stories are out there before free agency

188
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: exactly start exactly, and then when free agency starts, it's like, well,

189
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: we alreadyknew that, right, So I.

190
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Feel like the further away we get from the legal

191
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: tampering beginning, Like if we're sitting here in a week

192
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: from now or ten days from now and Kenny Walker

193
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: hasn't signed with anybody, I feel like at that point,

194
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: hey man, he's not hearing what he wants to hear.

195
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, I'm about a seven.

196
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: I will get, you know, depending on what these other

197
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 4: guys signed for. I mean, the good news is Travis

198
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 4: Etn is out there, right, you got guys.

199
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: He really likes Rico Dowdell.

200
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 4: He was He was big on Rico Dowdell, who is

201
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: probably that next tier of running back behind Etn and

202
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker. I just was was buoyed by the fact

203
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 4: that Javonte Williams only signed a three year, twenty four

204
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: million dollar deal and in reality it's more like a

205
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: two year, sixteen million dollar deal. Well, if that's what

206
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 4: Javonte Williams got, right, I don't think ken Walker will

207
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: get more than that. But I don't think ken Walker

208
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: will get substantially more than Yeah.

209
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: I just think again might take as simple. Do I

210
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: think he deserves substantially more than that. No, do I

211
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: want to flip out and give the guy a gigantic,

212
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: ridiculous contract because of how he played over the course

213
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: of I guess it would have been like six weeks, right,

214
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: because then what you're doing is you're saying, all right,

215
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna almost do the same thing for him at

216
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: the running back spot that we did for Joe Flacco

217
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: when Joe Flacco won the Super Bowl and I realize

218
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 2: he's a quarterback versus a running back, I get it, right,

219
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: But he won the Super Bowl and he played great

220
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: for four games, and the Ravens flipped out gave him

221
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 2: a huge deal and he was never able to do

222
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: what he did in twenty twelve. But he won a title, right,

223
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: so they're like, hey, maybe the guy deserves it. I

224
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: just think this with Kenny Walker. I think, if you're

225
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: a football team that is going for back to back

226
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: championships for the first time in franchise history, if there's

227
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: ever a year to overspend a little bit on maybe

228
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: year one or year two of a four year deal,

229
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: it's right now, all right, And especially when you consider

230
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: and I don't want to get into you know, there's

231
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: nothing out there because I don't know what's out there, right.

232
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing out there that we like right now,

233
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: but we don't know ninety five percent of the guys

234
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: in the draft. There might be a backup somewhere that

235
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: we're not even talking about that can come in here

236
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 2: and start and maybe kick ass, given the opportunity for

237
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: Kenny Walker. So you know, the draft doesn't look great

238
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: in regards to running backs, as only one first round

239
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: graded guy and that's the dude from Notre Dame, right,

240
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: That's it. So it's not deep for running backs, and

241
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: the free agent class is not great. I mean, I

242
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: don't want to say that the Jets know what the

243
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: hell they're doing, but there's a reason why the Jets

244
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: just tag Breese Hall exactly because they there's nothing out.

245
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: The second and.

246
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Third running back off the board.

247
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: Do we like Jonah Coleman, But I don't think Jonah

248
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: Coleman's a franchise back and I.

249
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 3: Don't think the Hawks will do that. I don't think that.

250
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not John Schneider's way. I mean, if

251
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: anybody thinks that John Schnider is going to sit there

252
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: and say, well, you know this guy, from Boston College.

253
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: We've got him as a fourth round guy, but we

254
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: lost Kenny Walker. Sharbonney's banged up, so let's take this

255
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: guy in the second round. That's not how they work,

256
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: and he's never worked that way and he will never

257
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: work that way. I'm telling you this, this first round pick.

258
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: If they even keep it by the way at thirty two,

259
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: they'll probably take a guy that they don't even need,

260
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: and they'll piss everybody off.

261
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: That's what's what they do.

262
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: So I don't want to get into that conversation of

263
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: there's nothing else out there, so over for Walker. I

264
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 2: just know what Kenny Walker is capable of. You've known

265
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: for a while the Hawks. I don't know if it

266
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: took McDonald maybe a year to figure it out or

267
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: a year and a half to figure it out. Maybe

268
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 2: there was something going on behind the scenes that were

269
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: not aware of Dick. I have no idea, but my god,

270
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: was he a gigantic piece of that offense last year.

271
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: And you can argue in a lot.

272
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: Of ways they may not have won without them, you know,

273
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: if they had to turn to Hallani or somebody else

274
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: full time, If Canine went down along with Sharbonnay who

275
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 2: knows where they would have been in that RAM game.

276
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: Who knows where they would have been in that RAM

277
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: game on Thursday night in Seattle, all those games down

278
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: the stretch, all those close games in December that got

279
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: these guys the number one seed.

280
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 3: Man.

281
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know, I mean, I just I feel like, again,

282
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: you want to stick to what you do, which is

283
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: not getting stupid with contracts, but for ever a year

284
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: to maybe just admit, hey, you know what, this guy's

285
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: pretty fricking valuable to what we're doing right now today,

286
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: and if we want to win back to back titles,

287
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: we might be wise to bring him back, even if

288
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: we overpay a little bit. I do think that this

289
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: might be the time in their history to do something.

290
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: Well, we know one game they absolutely don't win without

291
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 4: Ken Walker, and that's the overtime win over the Rams.

292
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: So we had eleven carries for one hundred yards and

293
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 4: a touchdown and three catches for sixty four yards. That

294
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: is one hundred and sixty four yards of total offense

295
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: in a one point overtime win.

296
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: Right, Well, I mean, like, what's the you know, what's

297
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: the reaction going to be? Kenny Walker takes off and

298
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: signs a contract with somebody else, So the Seahawk fan's

299
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: gonna lose their mind, or we're gonna be pissed off.

300
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: We're gonna throw stuff out windows and pick it and

301
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: go down there and you know, start protesting.

302
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 3: What's the what's the reaction gonna be?

303
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: Because I think I could see it right now, Dick

304
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: and Jackson, there's gonna be a lot of people that

305
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: will be a little bit concerned and maybe even irritated

306
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: if this guy walks. And then when the contract comes out, right,

307
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: like they do a deal with I don't know, give

308
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: me a team that needs a running back Tennessee for example, right,

309
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: and the Titans give him three years twenty four million bucks.

310
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 3: You're like, well, good, all right, I'll pitch. Well, that

311
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: might happen, that might happen.

312
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 5: I guess I just don't understand what John Schneider and

313
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: Matt Thomas is the former cap guy, right, Yes, what

314
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 5: they're with the new cap guy. What they're looking at

315
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: Because we all know, and we've had, you know, Michael

316
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 5: Janidion from spot track so many times, we know how

317
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: much money they have. They have a ton of money.

318
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 5: So if the if the whole thing is we only

319
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 5: want to give Walker eleven million a year?

320
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: We don't, you know?

321
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 5: Okay, what's the difference in the grand scheme of things

322
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 5: between eleven million over three or four years versus fourteen

323
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 5: million this next year?

324
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: Right?

325
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: Like, is that three million dollars really gonna get missed

326
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 5: on October tenth in week five?

327
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: I don't think so. No, So why they're not using

328
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: the franchise tag is just beyond me.

329
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really thought the transition tag was the right

330
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 4: way to go with him like that, Like the Colts

331
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 4: deal with Daniel Jones. It was eleven million dollars for

332
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 4: this year, and it grants you the right of first

333
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: refusal if some other team comes and gets in a contract. So,

334
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: I mean, right, Jackson, it's let's just take it like

335
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: like a ten percent raise. Well, a ten percent raise

336
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 4: for somebody making forty five million dollars a year is substantial.

337
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 4: A ten percent raise for a guy making nine ten

338
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 4: million dollars a year is only a million dollars.

339
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you were not talking to him the grand

340
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: scheme of things, Well, you're.

341
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Talking about what the Hawks are willing to offer in

342
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: compared to what he's making today. I mean you're talking about.

343
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: If they are willing to go eight and a half

344
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: and Kenny Walker wants nine, that's what you're talking irack, right,

345
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: But in their eyes, that's not a half a million

346
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: dollar raise. That's a five and a half versus a

347
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: six million dollar raise versus what he's making today on

348
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: his original rookie deal. Guys, I'm just looking at some

349
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: numbers that we had from a couple weeks ago that

350
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: in the last six games of the year, the guy ran.

351
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: The guy put up seven hundred and seventy one yards

352
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: total total in six games, five touchdowns. That's like McCaffrey esque, right.

353
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: I mean again, there's a difference between doing it over

354
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: seventeen weeks and doing it over six weeks. Stand that,

355
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: and I can see why people would be a little

356
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: bit hesitant because, hey, he really did not take off

357
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 2: until the back.

358
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: Half of his fourth year in the NFL.

359
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: And if he's worth all that money that he's talking about,

360
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: if he's worth all that money that other people are

361
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: talking about, then where the hell has he been for

362
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: four years? Where's he been for three and a half years.

363
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: He hasn't stayed healthy. That's number one, and number two,

364
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, you know, thought it so important to keep

365
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: him upright that they went out and got Zach Charberday

366
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: to split the carries with it. I mean, who else

367
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: do the Jets have besides Brice Hall? Probably nobody know.

368
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: And there's only five games all season this year that

369
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: ken Walker produced elite level numbers.

370
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: Right, you could find a.

371
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: Good running back in the NFL that will give you

372
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 4: what ken Walker gave you in fifteen of those twenty games.

373
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm just really I'm really curious.

374
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I'm nervous or dreading it,

375
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: because I'm really not. I'm just really curious to see

376
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: what John Schneider does if he lets Kenny Walker walk.

377
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: Because you're talking about two guys, and Zach Sharburney and

378
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: Kenny Walker, who had do they have over five hundred

379
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: carries combined or at least four hundred together the two

380
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: of them four. If you're losing everything from your running

381
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: back room, you're not going to have either one of

382
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: them when the season starts. If Kenny Walker walks because

383
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: sharbonne is coming off the injury, I think it's going

384
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: to be almost fascinating to see what these guys do Yeah,

385
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: that thing works.

386
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: By the way, it's.

387
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: Going to be fascinating to see how they replace him

388
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: and Zach Sharburnay, because they'll need two guys. I mean,

389
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: can they make do with George Allani is one of

390
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: their top two guys.

391
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: I don't think so, but maybe they do.

392
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: Almost exactly four hundred carries and then another We're talking

393
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 4: about over four hundred and fifty touches from those two guys.

394
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: Right, that's a lot, man, That's a lot for an

395
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: offense that was top three in the NFL scoring last season.

396
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: Right, Like, we all talk about.

397
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: The defense and they deserve it, and I think the

398
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: defense is as long as Mike McDonald's here, the defense

399
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: will continue to be the thing. Right, They're gonna carry

400
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: this thing. The defense will carry the franchise as long

401
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: as Mike McDonald's here.

402
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 3: For the most part.

403
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: Every now and then there's gonna be a game like

404
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: that Thursday Night Ram game like the NFC Championship, where

405
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: the offense has to step up because the defense is

406
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: getting pushed around, slapped around a little bit. But for

407
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 2: the most part, as long as Mike is the coach,

408
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: this defense is gonna be the thing that carries the deal,

409
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 2: and I think they're gonna just keep feeding that thing.

410
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: And I would keep feeding that thing. I'd find a corner,

411
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: I'd find more defensive linemen, I'd find a linebacker. I'd

412
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: go out and get as much depth for that defensive

413
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 2: front as I can, so those guys are as healthy

414
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: as they are and in shape as they can be

415
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: when the fourth quarter comes around. So as long as

416
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: McDonald's here, I would just keep feeding that thing like

417
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: it's a freaking pac Man machine getting tokens in the

418
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: nineteen eighties and chuck E Cheese, remember Chuckie Cheese. Jackson,

00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: Badgers game on Saturday. Actually, no, he was in town

438
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: for debtlifts Jersey retirement ceremony.

439
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: Yes, on the basketball game gotten away.

440
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 2: Well, you texted me I think it was was it

441
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: Sunday or Saturday night when you texted me about that

442
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: game against Wisconsin.

443
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: That it would have been Saturday night.

444
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 7: I'm not right.

445
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: And you said don't look at the box score if

446
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: you haven't seen the game already. Specifically, I said, don't

447
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: look at Wesley. Well, he went one for seventeen of

448
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: the game. My first question to Dick is if he

449
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: went one for seventeen, why the hell was he still

450
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: shooting after.

451
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: He went one for ten and one for eleven. One

452
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 3: for twelve.

453
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: Look, we're gonna try and get Danny Sprinkle on the

454
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: air probably next week, Dick before the Big ten tournament.

455
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: But this is devolving into a disaster for you, dub right.

456
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no other way to put it. Like

457
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 2: I'd love to, you know, give you some other shiny

458
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: take on this as well. If they do this, and

459
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, they got they got a week left

460
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 2: before the Big ten tournament starts, and they done nothing

461
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: outside of shucking the world. They're gonna end nowhere near

462
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament, which I think a lot of people

463
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: thought when the year began, They've got plenty of talent

464
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: to go pull it off. I mean, you know, my concern,

465
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: My concern was getting all those guys to play together.

466
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: Well, but the concern morphed from getting those guys to

467
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: play together to getting those guys to play at all.

468
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 4: And when you've had one hundred missed games due to

469
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 4: injury and they had seven, it was awful. Like, don't

470
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 4: get me wrong, it was terrible. Like the guys that

471
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 4: played other than Hanna Steinbach and Zoom Diallo.

472
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 3: It was brutal to watch.

473
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: But they had seven scholarship players available seven and that

474
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 4: is I mean, that's fewer than they've usually had, but

475
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: they usually had Saturday they had seven players, so but

476
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: normally they have like eight or nine.

477
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 3: That's it.

478
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: I mean they have gone short rotation all year long

479
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 4: because of the injuries, and so it's an excuse.

480
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 6: Jackson.

481
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: I talked about it a bunch last week, and I

482
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 4: think last year was a throwaway because he just had

483
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 4: to build a roster in the eleventh hour before the season.

484
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 4: This year is somewhat a throwaway because of they are

485
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: as injured as any team in college basketball this year.

486
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: But next year, you can't. You can't have an excuse

487
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: next year, you.

488
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 3: Just can't, seems to me.

489
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: And I know that there's context here that has to

490
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: be acknowledged. It just almost seems like every single year

491
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 2: Husky basketball never meets expectations, and there's always a reason why, Right,

492
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: there's always a reason why, Well, they got too many

493
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: guys and they can't share the basketball, Well they're too

494
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: banged up, well nil, well this, well that right, and

495
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: it's just dude, they've made the NCAA Tournament one time,

496
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: and like the last fifteen years, it's unbelievable and It's

497
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 2: not acceptable, not in this town.

498
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: Not with the amount of high school basketball talent.

499
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: Hell, you're calling the games this weekend, right, Not with

500
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: the amount of high school basketball talent that we have

501
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: an our backyard.

502
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: Is this acceptable?

503
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like USC being terrible in football, which

504
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: they are with all of that unbelievable NFL talent growing

505
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: up in southern California. You can't be that bad when

506
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: you have all that. In basketball, he need his one

507
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: or two guys to make it work. So maybe the

508
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: problem with this basketball team, besides the injuries, Dick, is

509
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: the fact that they took on too much talent, right.

510
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 2: They took on too many conference players of the year.

511
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: They took on too many guys that want the basketball,

512
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: and they took on too many.

513
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 3: Dudes that like to shoot the rock.

514
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: And they need to build a basketball team with stars

515
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 2: and role players, not fifteen guys that are all conference dudes.

516
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right. And I would add to

517
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: that is that, by far the best player on your

518
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: team is too unselfish.

519
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: Right.

520
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: He gives it up in Steinbach way too much. And

521
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: so it's how many times does that ball go in

522
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: the paint and come back almost never well, you come

523
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: back out. Yes, the problem is he's not in the

524
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: paint enough.

525
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 4: He floats around the outside setting screens for zoom Yallo

526
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 4: and Wes Leeates all the time.

527
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: He needs to get his ass in the block.

528
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 4: They need to feed him, and he needs to get

529
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: fifteen to twenty looks every single game, and he hardly

530
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: ever does well.

531
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: Sam Perkins was there on Saturday. He'll join us at

532
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: four thirty. But check this out. Adam Schefter was on

533
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: the Pat McAfee show moments ago earlier today and had

534
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: this to say about Kenny Walker's future in Seattle.

535
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 8: Schefter, you reported that the Seahawks will not tag running

536
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 8: back Ken Walker, who was the MVP of the Super Bowl.

537
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 3: Now he will be a free agent.

538
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 8: What do you expect his market to be and is

539
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 8: there a chance that he does end up going back

540
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 8: to Seattle.

541
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 9: I think that's always possible.

542
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 10: But I think when something like this happens and you're

543
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 10: not tagging a guy, you're giving him the freedom, and

544
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 10: I think the price will climb up to where he's

545
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 10: going to get a great offer somewhere.

546
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 9: And I know that obviously, it has to be a

547
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 9: very hard decision.

548
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 10: For Seattle will make They've got a lot of other

549
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 10: financial needs that they have to address. They gonna want

550
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 10: to re sign Devin Witherspoon, Jackson Smith and Jigba, pay

551
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 10: for the draft, lest add some free agents.

552
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 9: You just can't pay everybody. And it's almost like the

553
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 9: Super Bowl tax.

554
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 10: Everybody wants more money, and inevitably there are some casualties

555
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 10: along the way. In this particular case, they can't to

556
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 10: franchise Kenneth Walker, not going to tag him at all.

557
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 10: He's going to get to the open market, and my

558
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 10: guess is with all the teams out there that need

559
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 10: running backs, he'll find an offer that is more lucrative

560
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 10: than Seattle and he'll be leaving Seattle.

561
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: No, he thinks he's gone. Adam Scheffer thinks he's gone.

562
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: And again, I mean it doesn't mean he's right, right,

563
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he can be wrong. He's been wrong before.

564
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: He's not reporting anything, he's just sharing an opinion there

565
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: that he thinks that when he gets the free agency

566
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: he's going to be done and walk and go somewhere else.

567
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: And I mean, look, obviously we just talked about this

568
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: last segment. The longer this thing goes and the more

569
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: Kenny Walker gets involved in free agency. Look, guys, if

570
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: the Hawks wanted Kenny Walker back tonight, they could have

571
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: him back tonight. They can sign him today if they wanted.

572
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: No one else can, and nobody else can. They've had

573
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: an exclusive window right to get something done for really

574
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: the last year or so. I mean, I'm not going

575
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 2: to sign the guy before his fourth year, obviously, but

576
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, when the Super Bowl was over during the season,

577
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: they could have extended him if they would have gone

578
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: to him. I don't know when Sharbonnay got banged up

579
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 2: and said, hey, let's do something right now and keep

580
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 2: you around for next year, because I was before he

581
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: went bananas on the field Charbone blew his knee out,

582
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 2: and then Walker kind of took over from that.

583
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 4: Right, started to go bananas right, and Sharbonate didn't get

584
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: hurt till the playoffs.

585
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look at I mean, it's unfair.

586
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: It's unfair to exactly, it's unfair to go back and

587
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: say you should have done this, you should have done that,

588
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: because nobody, none of us, I think, and it's their

589
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: job to foresee this kind of thing. I get that,

590
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: but nobody was sitting here going God you might want

591
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: to sign Kenny Walker right now. It's October, Like nobody

592
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 2: was saying no, right, I get that, but I just

593
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: think this. I think that this guy not to be

594
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 2: repetitive from last segment, but he is a key cog

595
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: and what these guys pulled off a year ago, and

596
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: if you're ever going to go a little bit above

597
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: what you're comfortable with, now is the time to do.

598
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: It for a guy that you already know, who's been

599
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: here for four years.

600
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 5: Hey, So going back to the Adam Schefter clip, I

601
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 5: just I don't understand a couple comments. He says, well,

602
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: they have to Jackson's with Innjigba. JSN just did an

603
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 5: interview where he said, I don't need to sign the

604
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 5: contract now. I want to be the highest paid, but

605
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 5: we don't have to rush to get this done. So no,

606
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 5: you don't need to sign JSN right now. Devin Witherspoon

607
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 5: has the next option that they can pick up because

608
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 5: he was a first rounder. So you don't have to

609
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 5: do anything with Devin right now. So him to say,

610
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: like Adam Schefter says, like they can't afford to ferent,

611
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 5: Yes we can, Adam, do you not know have you

612
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 5: not talked to Michael Jenia's spot track. Have you do

613
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: not know how much how much we have a lot

614
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 5: of cap space.

615
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: Adam, if you don't know, but here he can afford

616
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: to do that, right, I mean, but but I think

617
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: his point and I want I don't want to speak

618
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: for him. I assume his point is that when he

619
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: says they can't afford it, they can't afford to do

620
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: it over the life of a four year deal like

621
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: year three, year four. You know, when Witherspoon's making money,

622
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: when Jackson spent then Jigba's making money.

623
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 5: So I Adam said, they can't afford to French that's

624
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 5: fourteen million, Adam.

625
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: They have the money, newsflash. They have the money, so

626
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: they could do it.

627
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I mean they could do anything, right,

628
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: I mean look, just because you don't have the money,

629
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: you can still do it. Yeah, you cut players to

630
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: make the money available. And guys, here's the thing we've

631
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: talked about this before, Dick, that when you're talking about, hey,

632
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: you can't do this because it'll cost you X, It's

633
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: never gonna.

634
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: Cost you a starter. It's gonna cost you some depth.

635
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: Right, And if the Seahawks don't believe they have the

636
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: proper depth on their defensive line. If Mike McDonald thinks, hey,

637
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna lose Woolan, I got to have a corner.

638
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: I need more depth on the defensive line. We're gonna

639
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: lose to Marcus Lawrence, he's gonna retire whatever. I need

640
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: a receiver because Cooper Cup is breaking down and we're

641
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 2: not gonna give Shaheed.

642
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: Whatever eleven million whatever it.

643
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: Is that they've projected that he's gonna make because he's

644
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 2: more of a specialist than an actually big time offensive weapon.

645
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, man.

646
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 2: I mean, there are holes that will be created on

647
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: this football team in the next week when free agency

648
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 2: happens and you don't think you need something now, and

649
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: you won't realize you do for a week and a half,

650
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: and then you'll have to go out and find a

651
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 2: starting corner because Tarik Wolan just to contract with somebody

652
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: for fifteen million bucks or more than that.

653
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 4: I think Schefter's theory that because they didn't franchise him

654
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 4: means they probably won't resign him. I think that's flawed

655
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 4: because we know what John Schneider's m O isise.

656
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: Anyway, John Schneider.

657
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 4: Has signed scores of people that he turned down the

658
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: franchise tag on. So I think that now that being said,

659
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 4: his general premise is he's likely to get more elsewhere,

660
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 4: and so he's likely to be gone. Well, my question

661
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 4: would be how much more? Because Ken Walker's not a

662
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: Bell Cal running back, and only Bell Cal running backs

663
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: get big time fifteen to twenty million dollars a year.

664
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: Barkley McCaffrey, Derek Henry, Jonathan Taylor, those are the type

665
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 4: of running backs that get fourteen plus.

666
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Ken Walker has never been and is not one of

667
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: those running backs.

668
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: Well, I guess I guess the thing is for me,

669
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: and we're gonna break here in a second. Here from

670
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 2: Leane Lambert next after their winner of the Hurricanes last night.

671
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: I guess the question for me is simple, are we

672
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: gonna sit around here and just say, hey, whatever John

673
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: Schneider wants to do, he's earned it. Let's just back

674
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: off and let him do his job, because I can't

675
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: imagine Seahawk Nation being that gracious.

676
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: No, But at first will say here, I think at

677
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: first will say in John, we trust Yeah, of course,

678
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: because the first thing that will happen if ken leaves.

679
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: The first thing that will happen is ken has gone

680
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 4: and we don't have a running back. So I think

681
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 4: our first reaction will be disappointment. But in John we trust,

682
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 4: and then we find out on September fifth or sixth,

683
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 4: or whenever the first game is who the first guy

684
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: that gets the ball is.

685
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: I think you'll know before then. You'll know before that.

686
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 4: But we got to find out if if it's true

687
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: that in John we trust, what's his plan because I

688
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: don't see a ton of names out.

689
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: There they can replace ken Walk.

690
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, what they'll probably do if they lose ken

691
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: Walker is they'll likely end up bringing in some guys

692
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: that don't really turn you on very much, and you'll

693
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: have to wait and see how they fit in this system.

694
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: You know.

695
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll spend some money at tight end. Maybe they'll

696
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: spend more money at wide receiver. Maybe they'll make this

697
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: defense even more badass than it was a year ago,

698
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: and they'll rely on that next season. So look, guys,

699
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: the only thing I'm focused on right now I know

700
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: that John's not and that's why he's in charge. And

701
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here behind the microphone. I want back to

702
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: back titles. That's all I want I told you guys

703
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: that when we left Arizona in twenty fourteen or fifteen

704
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: February of fifteen, whatever the hell month it was, that

705
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: I thought that opportunity was lost forever after that game.

706
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: I don't think that now, and I don't want to

707
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: f this up. We're going to break lane. Lambert will

708
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: join us after. Hey, they didn't fit up last night.

Speaker 2: teams in National Hockey League, Carolina, and a guy that's

728
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 2: I gotta be assuming here a happy Camper Dick, the

729
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: head coach of the Krack, and our friend Lane Lambert

00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 6: Guys?

733
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: How are you great?

734
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: Good?

735
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: Let's talk about last night, man, How satisfying was that?

736
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 2: You know, scoreless first period against a team that was

737
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: just crushing people, putting up goals all over the place

738
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: in the first period and you guys shut him down,

739
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 2: get out of there with a tie after on. How

740
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 2: How satisfying was that start? How satisfying was that finished

741
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 2: for you?

742
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean obviously, you know, we knew, we knew

743
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 6: the opponent. They were ten oho and two coming in

744
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 6: here and hadn't lost, I guess in regulation since probably

745
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 6: the middle of January. I think it was January sixteenth

746
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 6: or whatever. They're good hockey team. We knew they were

747
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: a good hockey team. You know, I had seen a

748
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 6: lot of them over in the Eastern Conference when I

749
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 6: was coaching in Washington and New York. So you know,

750
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 6: we put together a game plan, our goaltender played great,

751
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 6: our guys were committed, and you're right, the start was

752
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 6: key because I think they're about a plus twenty nine

753
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 6: in the first period in terms of goals for and against.

754
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 6: So you know, kudos star guys for for doing the

755
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 6: job last night. It wasn't necessarily pretty, but it's not

756
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 6: always going to be pretty against Carolina Hurricanes. They're they're

757
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 6: kind of are. They're a good, good hockey team, but

758
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 6: it's an ugly game whenever you play them, because they

759
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 6: just throw everything to the net. It's it almost reminds

760
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 6: me a little bit of rugby at times, you're just

761
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 6: fighting for territory.

762
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 4: Well, and just saw Joey there at the end. You

763
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: heard the call from Everett Fitzhugh. Just just talk about

764
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 4: Joey in the last couple of minutes there.

765
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 3: And on a power play plus the pulled goalie.

766
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you're down two men at that point and

767
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: he's just got to hang hang tight and keep that

768
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: last goal out of the net.

769
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah he did.

770
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 6: You know, I said after the game, I think we

771
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 6: got you know, you got to get a little sometimes,

772
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 6: you got to get a little good fortune at times.

773
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 6: I don't know there was a couple of shots that

774
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 6: came in. I don't know that he could even see them,

775
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 6: and they ended up going wide. But that's a credit

776
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 6: to our guys too, because you know, the guys in

777
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 6: front of them were putting themselves in the shot lanes

778
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 6: in harm's way and paying the price. So, you know,

779
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 6: not it's a little bit of a nail bier at

780
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 6: the end, but certainly we're we're pleased to get out

781
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 6: of it with the win.

782
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 2: Well Lane Lambert with us, head coach of the Kraken

783
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: and coach. The last time we spoke up there at

784
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: the thirty two Bar and Grill, you were kind of

785
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: making it known that hey, look, we got to keep

786
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: the momentum going. We can't come out slow out of

787
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: the break, and you came out a little slow and

788
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: lost the first two and then have turned it around.

789
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: So talk about kind of what you thought maybe you'd

790
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: lost with the break and what you've rediscovered these last

791
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: two nights.

792
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 6: You know, it's really it was really dumbfounding to me

793
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 6: because when we were talking at the thirty two Bar

794
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 6: and Grill, you know, I was telling you that we

795
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 6: were having good practices and we did you know, the

796
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 6: guys worked. I don't I don't have one ounce of

797
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 6: regret over our guys work ethic and how they how

798
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 6: they competed in those practices heading into the heading into

799
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 6: the games. You know, I just we came out. I

800
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 6: thought our executions, especially in the first game in Dallas

801
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 6: was absolutely terrible, probably the worst I've seen it all year.

802
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 6: And you know, just like it just wasn't used to

803
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 6: game speed, I guess, so to speak. And you know,

804
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 6: you can say that about the rest of the teams

805
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 6: in the league, and the hockey is getting better and

806
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 6: better here after the first couple of games. But the

807
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 6: first couple of games that every team played was pretty

808
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 6: sloppy hockey, not a lot of execution, and you know

809
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 6: it was that's kind of where we were at. And

810
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 6: I think we've started to get execute better and you know,

811
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 6: be more in tune with each other, I guess, so

812
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 6: to speak. But you know, disappointing the way we started

813
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 6: because I thought we practiced really well.

814
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 4: What was the message after those back to back losses

815
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 4: going back home on Saturday night against a very very

816
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 4: beatable team in Vancouver. I know, there's no such thing

817
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 4: coach as is a must win game in February or

818
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 4: early March in the NFL, but that in the NHL rather,

819
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 4: But that felt that felt as must win as it

820
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 4: gets at this point in the season.

821
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I mean we kind of viewed it

822
00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 6: that way as well. And the message was we need

823
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 6: to win this game, and don't fear that message, embrace

824
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 6: that message, relish it, let's go get it. And you know,

825
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 6: I thought we did a good job in that game,

826
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 6: and we just have to keep going here. But there's

827
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 6: no question that, you know, I mean, had we not

828
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 6: won the Vancouver game, did that mean that we were

829
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 6: you know, done, No, but certainly we needed those points

830
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 6: to get us back on the right track and we

831
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 6: got them. And and you know, we've done a pretty

832
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 6: good job here in the last thirteen games. I think

833
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 6: we're nine nine, two and two or whatever it is

834
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 6: at home. So we've tried to do the best we

835
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 6: can at home here, and we need to continue that

836
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 6: trend here going forward with the next set of home

837
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 6: games that we have starting tomorrow night.

838
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: Well, we know we got a game tomorrow against the

839
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: Blues to talk about in a second, but we haven't

840
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 2: talked to you in a couple of weeks. So how

841
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 2: about your thoughts coaches, A diehard Canadian and what the

842
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 2: Americans did to your country in Italy last week?

843
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well, you know what, I can always I

844
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 6: can always go this route with it because I got

845
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 6: my citizenship last May, and so it was like it

846
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 6: was like, yeah, I know, I'm super happy about it,

847
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 6: by the way, and yeah, and you know, it was

848
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 6: it was kind of like one of those win wins

849
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 6: for me, you know. So it was a good hockey game.

850
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 6: You know. I woke up at four fifty five and

851
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 6: turned it on and we ended up coming down here

852
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 6: in between the second and third period, and we watched

853
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 6: it as a staff, and a lot of the team

854
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 6: was here on that morning, so there was a lot

855
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 6: of ribving going on from everybody. But certainly it was

856
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 6: an exciting hockey game and it lived up to the billing.

857
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 6: Put it that way.

858
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: Coach, trade deadline, what do you expect this team to do?

859
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 6: You know, we're looking at a few things. I obviously

860
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 6: have a few conversations with Jason Bottrell, but at the

861
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 6: end of the day, you know, I'm going to coach

862
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 6: whoever we have or don't have, you know, or whatever

863
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 6: we do and you know we're looking we're in the

864
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 6: mix here. You know, we're in third place, we're three

865
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 6: points out of first place. So you know, we'll we'll

866
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 6: go from there and take it from there. But from

867
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 6: our standpoint, we just need to continue worrying about what

868
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 6: we're doing on a daily basis, and we need to

869
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 6: stick to you know, we need to just getting ready

870
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 6: for that Saint Louis game.

871
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,040
