I mean, dick, 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: If you go to the front page of s spinnin 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: dot com, it's sitting right there, a Rose Arena unleashes 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: rally rant over WBC snub right there in a front 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: page of ESPN dot com, right underneath a story of 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: from Tottenham, by the way, sitting right there, Randy Arose 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: Arena pissed off at cal Raley. Now there's a lot 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: of people that have come out today and they've said 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: that Randy Arose Arena is just playing around with cal Raley. 15 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: So let me just set the scene here, and if 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm wrong on any of this, feel free to jump in. Okay, 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: So Mexico and the US was playing last night, a 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Rose Arena walks up to the plate. Cal Raley is 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: rouching down behind home plate and he reaches out to 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: shake Cal's hand. Why because they're both teammates in Seattle. Duh, 21 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: So what does Cal do? Does he fist pump? Does 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: he reciprocate? No, he does nothing. He does nothing. He 23 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: says something to Randy, he leans in. They have a 24 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: short conversation and the it back continues. Then after the game, 25 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: Randy A Rose Arena, speaking in Spanish, says about Cal Raleigh, 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: thank god he has nice parents. 27 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: They're well educated. 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: I recently hugged them during a friendly meeting at the 29 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: team hotel. Then he used a profane Cuban and Mexican 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: slang to insult cal Raleigh, saying the All Stars should 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: quote f Off and quote go to hell, says Randy 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: a Rose Arena, and then he stormed off down the hall. 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: So we saw this, and the first thing I thought 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: is like a lot of people while they're just playing around, 35 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, right, they just fun. And then 36 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: it got me thinking maybe Cal was so dialed in, 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: he was so intense in that moment playing for his country, 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: that he did not look at Randy A Rose Arena 39 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: as a teammate but an enemy because he was wearing 40 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: a different jersey and he was all fired up and 41 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: can two guys be enemies one day and friends the next. 42 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: Absolutely they can. So we got a couple of clips here. 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: I know we can respond to it. Dick the first 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: one I know. Cal has talked about this today. He said, 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: we're fine, it's gonna be okay, nobody panicked, don't worry 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: about it. But Cal Rawley did say, by the way, 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: that you know what, while I'm competing for the Americans, 48 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing here, I'll get the exact quote in 49 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: a second. I'm in the moment, had nothing to do 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: with anything personal with Randy. But it's America versus Mexico. 51 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: We're fighting for a WBC championship, so he basically right. 52 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: Jackson admitted that he told Randy a Rose Arena for 53 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: the time being to take a hike. We're competitors right 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: now in a very nice yes. Wait, caw not teammates, 55 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: ca right. I mean, well, first of all, we don't 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: know what he said to Randy Rose Arena. We have 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: no idea because there's no audience. 58 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: Stepping the bleeping box. 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: Randy exactly, you'd get your fat, lazy ass in the box. 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know what he said. I assume you're right, 61 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Jackson that it was. You know, hey, man, can't do 62 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: it right now? 63 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,399 Speaker 2: Whatever? Right? 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: You know the thing is about it though, just real 65 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: quick before we hear these clips. If cal Rawley had 66 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: reached out and shook his hand, nobody would have beat 67 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: it an eye. If you would have fist pumped him, 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: nobody would have beat it an eye. 69 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: I mean, they're. 70 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: Teammates, right like, nobody would have said bupkus about it? 71 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: So here now is raised President of Baseball Operations Eric 72 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: Neander on foul Territory today on the situation between Randy 73 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: and Rose Arena and cal Rawley. 74 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 4: If that happened and it was in your clubhouse for 75 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: the regular season, right now it's into WBC, how would 76 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: you have handled it. 77 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 5: I'd start by getting a full picture of what went out. 78 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 5: I'm watching it now. I saw this, I saw a 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 5: few clips. I have no idea. I might have ten 80 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 5: percent of the picture right now. I might all, I'm 81 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: not quite sure. I certainly would start by understanding the 82 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 5: entirety of what went down. But look, they're men, their adults. 83 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 5: You understand the competitive situation. They're not teammates right now, 84 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 5: they're competing against each other. You just try to build 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 5: as much of an understanding for what went on, who 86 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 5: was thinking, what, why they were thinking it. But knowing Randy, 87 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 5: you know, a motivated Randy, a locked in Randy is 88 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 5: a scary Randy. So I certainly wouldn't mind that part 89 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 5: of it to the extent that anything well, you know, 90 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 5: winds up Randy had usually good things happened on the 91 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 5: field thereafter, So I'd certainly take that part think the 92 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 5: world of Randy. 93 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: So Caroly did say today via FaceTime with some Seattle reporters, quote, 94 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: there's no beef with Randy. 95 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: I love him, he's my brother. 96 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: He's already talked to Randy or Rose Arena by the way, 97 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: about the situation to clarify what went down, as well 98 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: as manager Dan Wilson. That's from Ryan Divish's Twitter accounts. 99 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: So that's Kyle Rawley's take on the story. Here's Barstool's 100 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: Mostly Sports podcast. I'm telling this is a big story 101 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: across the country.

These two guys talking about the situation. 103 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 6: Brandy a Rose Arena not a fan of. 104 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: What Cal Rawley did. 105 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 4: It seems that way, and they are going to be 106 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 4: teammates for one hundred and sixty two games this year. 107 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 7: I'm not sure what cal Rawley said to him, but 108 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 7: the idea of him not tapping up his teammate like 109 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 7: this is when when the Dream Team played Tony Kukoach 110 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 7: remember that. I just remember when Kobe played Paalagasol in 111 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 7: the O eight gold medal game and ran through him, 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 7: just ran right through him. I like that idea. I 113 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 7: like the idea of like, we're not boys, not tonight, 114 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 7: not tonight.

Man? 174 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: Really, you're paid for those opinions. 175 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not going. 176 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 8: To bleed over at all. And I think here's what 177 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 8: I think should happen. I think first at bat the 178 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 8: next game, dom can Zone does the exact same and 179 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 8: he shakes his hand, and I want to see what 180 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 8: cal Rawly does that. 181 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 3: Cal Rawley's kind of putting in a position where he 182 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 3: has to win. 183 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 2: Yet is he in the lineup tonight? Cal? Is he 184 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: starting behind the plate? 185 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: Because I know that he's not starting every game for 186 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: that and he's I'm not surprised by that because he 187 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: played last night. Look, guys, here's the deal. And first 188 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: of all, your soccer analogy most of the time, your 189 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: soccer analogies make me want to walk into traffic. But 190 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: you're dead on, thousands of percent dead on with this, Okay, 191 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: when you are as intense and you are as committed 192 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: to winning as cal Rawle he is. See, I actually 193 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: think all this is a gigantic positive for us. I 194 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: think it's a huge positive. If there was any doubt 195 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: that Cal and there shouldn't have been any doubt to 196 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: begin with, but just in case there was some you know, 197 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: d bag out there who thought there was some kind 198 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: of you know, lack of genuine uh, you know, genuineness 199 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: to Cal Raleigh and his commitment to winning and his intensity. 200 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: You saw that on display last night. This guy wants 201 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: to win badly. We talked about cutting her hands off 202 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: for a World series. He would do it, all right. 203 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: And I love it. I absolutely love it about cal Raley. 204 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: He is the undisputed leader of the Mariners. He's the 205 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,119 Speaker 1: captain of the clubhouse. And I think he is the 206 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: biggest leader and the most inspiring athlete that we have 207 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: going in this town right now in my opinion. Okay, 208 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: and you saw that last night. You didn't give a 209 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: damn who you are what you're doing. He could have 210 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: been playing like the old, the old saying. He could 211 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: have been playing his mother last night, and he would 212 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: have told his mother to take a walk. 213 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: If she extended her hand to shake get at home play. 214 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: He wants to win that World Baseball Classic title badly 215 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: for his country. And I think this is just another 216 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: reflection of how intense this guy is. 217 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: Will it have. 218 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Any effect, any negative effect whatsoever? 219 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: I'm the Mariners zero. 220 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 8: I don't even know if I didn't even know if 221 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 8: Kobe running over pau Gasol got as much attention negative attention? 222 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: Is this one? 223 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 8: Because you know what everybody said, then just Kobe being Kobe, right, right, 224 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 8: I mean, of course, of. 225 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 3: Course Kobe's gonna run. 226 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 8: Just Kobe's being Kobe's being Kobe. They don't know cal 227 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 8: Rawly like they knew Kobe. 228 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: Right. 229 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: Well, here, this is what's gonna be kind of funny 230 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: to follow. Has there ever been a situation in a 231 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: major league baseball game? Maybe maybe it's different because it's 232 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: the WBC versus a random like May game. Has there 233 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: ever been a situation in a major league game where 234 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: an ex teammate comes up to cal Rawly and shakes 235 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: his hand and he does it. 236 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure there has been. 237 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, probably right, But here's what I wanted. 238 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 1: So the first time that happens this year, Like, do 239 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: the Mariners play the Mets this year with Polaco if 240 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: extended his hand and cal Rawley shook it, No, Randy 241 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: is like, dude, what's the dale man? 242 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: You're right, he can't do it. 243 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 6: Can't do it. 244 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: He can't do it. 245 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 6: No, I don't think he would, because that's just listen. 246 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 6: And I think that's why to Dick what you were 247 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 6: just saying, the national media doesn't know cal Rawley. We 248 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 6: know cal Rawley as somebody who listen. He's also a jokester. 249 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 6: He has a little bit of comedy in it. Yeah, 250 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 6: and I think I think part of that came out 251 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 6: a little bit. Some of it's half of it's probably 252 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 6: you're my competitor, and also, hey, this will be funny. 253 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 6: This will be a funny beat. And then Randy plays 254 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 6: into that beef And you know what should happen. 255 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 8: Every time Randy hits a home run, he high fives 256 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 8: the guys in the clubhouse, and Klik does not acknowledge it. 257 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 8: Anime Randy hits a home run, I want to see 258 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 8: cal ignore him. 259 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea, and I think they 260 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: should play into that more often, way more often. I mean, 261 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: I've been telling you for the last couple of years 262 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: that they should have embraced the fifty four percent thing. 263 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: Mariners win everything the next day is fifty four percent off. 264 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: But they won't do it. 265 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: They won't do it because they're sensitive and things like that. 266 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: They believe makes them look bad, which is not true. 267 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: It makes you look like you have a sense of humor. Yes, 268 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: that's what it makes you look like, and that you 269 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: can have just as much fun with this as everybody else. 270 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: It endears you to people, don't you think when you 271 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: do things like that. So Randy a Rose Arena and 272 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: Cal Rowley, I'm one thousand percent with you. The best 273 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: way to squash this because number one doesn't need to 274 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: be squashed, I don't think. But if there are fans 275 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: out there Jackson that do think it needs to be squashed, 276 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: then squash it in a funny way. Have a playful 277 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: wrestling match in the outfield before the next Cactus League game, 278 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: or just why not. 279 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 6: You don't even need to say or do anything. You 280 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 6: just do the little things like you don't high five 281 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 6: each other in the clubhouse, and you just don't let 282 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 6: the public see and you make it a big funny thing. 283 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 6: Is obviously Randy's playing into it, and I think Andrews 284 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,479 Speaker 6: said this on Twitter as well, like we don't understand 285 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 6: the cultural tendencies involved with Randy's press conference of the 286 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 6: inner right, where he's going into different languages and he's 287 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 6: saying all these things very much sort of. I mean, 288 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 6: cal Rawley's the type of guy. He's very okay poking 289 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 6: fun of himself, right. He has a he was totally 290 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 6: fine and happy with the maners doing a bobblehead with 291 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 6: his ass the size of a freaking pumpkin. 292 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 2: His name is the Big Dumper, and he's fine with that. 293 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 6: He enjoys that being. This guy has no problem making 294 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 6: things into a joke. This, I think, this is the 295 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 6: whole thing is a joke. 296 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: The whole thing. 297 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 8: I mean, some people just take everything so serious. Yeah, 298 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 8: And you know, I kind of used to be like that. 299 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 8: I was really really high strung, like in my twenties, 300 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 8: and as I get older, I'm just like less and 301 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 8: less and less bothers me, whether it comes to sports, politics, whatever, 302 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 8: Less bothers. 303 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 3: Me now than it did twenty thirty years. 304 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: Well, I just think it's another reminder of how intense 305 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: this guy is. 306 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: Man. And I mentioned this in the first hour. 307 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: This a guy who how many years has cal Rawley 308 00:13:59,080 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: been in baseball for? 309 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 2: Now? Is this is sixth season? Overall? 310 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: How many total years has he been around here in 311 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: see twenty one? I looked that up, three to two 312 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: and one. He has been here. This is his sixth year. 313 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: You're right, twenty one. So after the twenty two season 314 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: or twenty three? What year was it that they made 315 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: the playoffs? It was in twenty two, so it was 316 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: after twenty three this guy had been in the major 317 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: leagues for two and a half years, and he took 318 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: upon himself at the stage that stage of his career 319 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: was still a kind of a green guy, to basically 320 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: rip the entire team and rip the ownership and rip 321 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: the management. You see what the Astros or the Rangers 322 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: are doing over there, that's what we should be doing. 323 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: And he was told to calm down by the manager. 324 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: Well guess what happened to that manager. He got fired 325 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: and cal Rawley got extended.

And I mean, just the 334 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 8: overreaction is amazing. And you're right, you can totally turn 335 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 8: this into a positive. You can totally turn this into 336 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 8: a team bonding situation. And you know, most likely it's 337 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 8: going to end up being a nothing, but hopefully it 338 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 8: will end up being a positive versus anat well. 339 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Again, I don't know if I've ever seen a franchise 340 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: follow the lead of a guy like cal Raley the 341 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: way they have, because it really does feel like they're 342 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: doing things a little differently now over there. 343 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: And I don't know if you. 344 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: Can directly trace it Dick to what cal Rawley said 345 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: after the twenty twenty three season. But cal Rawley goes off, 346 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: the manager rips him, then the manager gets fired eventually, 347 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: Then cal Rawley fires his agent because he wants to 348 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: stay in Seattle. 349 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: Then they pay cal Raley. Then they go out for two. 350 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: Years in a row and actually get better at the deadline, 351 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: which is exactly. 352 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: What cal Raley wanted them to do. 353 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: Everything positive, I'm telling you this is a little bit 354 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: of a slight exaggeration, but not much. Everything positive that's 355 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: happened in that front office, their attitude towards building a winner, 356 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: I think you can trace a lot of it back 357 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: to that guy, dude, you keep ton. 358 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 8: I will say they did go out and get Luis 359 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 8: Castile prior to right like when they know Jerry's been 360 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 8: pretty consistent when he. 361 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Was a guy who was under contract they've gotten guys 362 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: that aren't under contract and they had to resign them 363 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: like Nayler by the way, Yep, they would never do that. 364 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 8: That's right, That's right. I mean, Jerry's been pretty consistent. 365 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 8: When he feels like he's in it, he's going to 366 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 8: go do something to the Tradeline lineup. And he doesn't 367 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 8: feel like he's in it. Even if we do feel 368 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 8: like he's in. 369 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 3: It, he's not going to do anything at the trade det. 370 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: Well, I'll just wrap it up with this. 371 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you want to take this literally and not figuraly, 372 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: that's your problem. I think if we have the opportunity, 373 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,239 Speaker 1: all of us should be lighting up to kiss Cayl 374 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: Rowley's ass, every single one of us for what he's 375 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 1: done for that organization. And I guys, I gotta tell you, man, 376 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: seeing him and the way he was emotional last year 377 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: after they lost to Toronto, all of us felt like that, 378 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: all of us. I mean you, you saw me, I 379 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: saw you. We were in tears, man, I don't mind 380 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: it was fifty two. I couldn't give a damn. I 381 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: was a crying grown man after that loss, crushed And 382 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: all I ever want is a fan all we ever 383 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: want is fans. 384 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: I think. 385 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: I think is to know that these guys want this 386 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,919 Speaker 1: as badly as we do, if not worse. Cal Raley 387 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: has answered that question, boys and girls. 388 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: Good for him. 389 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: Let's go four twenty two on ninety three to three 390 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: KJARFM from the R and R. 391 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 2: Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. 392 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 5: Now back to SOFTI and Dick on your Home for 393 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 5: the Huskies, Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio, ninety 394 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 5: three point three kJ FILM. 395 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: Alright, boys and girls, here we going to busy Tuesday. 396 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: John Wilner is gonna hop on for a few minutes 397 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: in five Danty Sprinkle at six seven.

Free 401 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: agency continues. But obviously yesterday was the big day. You 402 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: could kind of feel the intensity in the ear yesterday, 403 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: right and everyone's kind of all right, take a breath today, 404 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: a little bit, kind of calm down. Things are slowing 405 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: down a little bit, just to get caught up on 406 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: some of the big news of the day and the 407 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: NFL GENO Smith is going back to the Jets. The 408 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: Raiders were gonna cut him unless they could trade him. 409 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: They sent him to the Jets for a sixth rounder 410 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: along with a seventh round pick. So the Seahawks got 411 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: a third rounder for Geno Smith and the Jets. The 412 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: Raiders gave up Geno Smith and a seventh and got 413 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: a sixth back. So basically from a third round pick 414 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: to a middle sixth round pick in some ways, if 415 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: you want to describe it like that, Patreon have signed 416 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: are going to sign ex packer wide receiver Romeo Dobs 417 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: to a four year, eighty million dollar deal. 418 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 2: The biggest news of the day here, Reek Wolland's gone. 419 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 1: He is a Philadelphia Eagle on a one year, fifteen 420 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: million dollar contract. I think when the season ended, all 421 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: of us walked out of Santa Clara at Levi Stadium thinking, okay, 422 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: right now, the biggest need is probably an upgrade at 423 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: right guard, although some people think Bradford played pretty good 424 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, so maybe the Hawks give him 425 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: a second shot. I got no idea, but that was 426 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,239 Speaker 1: like the consensus need, right we all said, Bradford, Bradford, Bradford. Well, 427 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: now you've got no running back because Canine's gone and 428 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: Charbonny's banged up. You need a corner because Rieke Wollan 429 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: is now a Philadelphia Eagle. You need some depth on 430 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: your defensive line because boy A Mafe has signed with 431 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: the or will sign with the Bengals, and Kobe Bryant 432 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: is Yeah, Kobe Bryant, sorry, is also gone to Chicago. 433 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: So as we sit here right now, we can talk 434 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: about maybe three or four positions needing to be addressed 435 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: on draft day. 436 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, agency, I would rank them. 437 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 8: I would probably jump running back ahead of right guard now, 438 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 8: and I would say running back is first, right guard 439 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 8: his second. I would say a secondary member because it 440 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 8: could be a safety slash corner, could be a corner 441 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 8: slash safety like I replacement for Kobe Bryant slash treequal 442 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 8: And don't know if you need two of them, because 443 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 8: they do really like me and my approach it, and 444 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 8: he might just slide into one of those one of 445 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 8: those spots there. And then I would say fourth would 446 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 8: be depth, that pass rusher or you know that another. 447 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 8: I mean, do we like Drake Thomas as a starter. 448 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 8: I mean, that's that's the question. And they obviously like 449 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 8: Drake Thomas as a starter couple years ago. Yes, yes, 450 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 8: so there's I mean, there's your there's your four in order, 451 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 8: and I don't think any of them. 452 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 2: So give me the four again, give me the. 453 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: Running back, one, right guard two. 454 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 8: I'm just gonna say secondary, three, one one slot in 455 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 8: the secondary. Don't necessarily think you need two starting caliber guys. 456 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 8: You need one starting caliber guy and and one more 457 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 8: pass rusher. 458 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: So edge, so running back, guard, secondary, slash, corner whatever, 459 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: edge rusher or defensive line whatever, okay Jackson. 460 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, the exact same list. Like I kind of don't 461 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 6: think what's fun. What's fun about this is like there's 462 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 6: just so few holes on this team right now. Like, okay, 463 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 6: so you need somebody to accent Sharboney, Okay, would be sure, 464 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 6: nice if you get up Greg Bradford. Yeah, having another 465 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 6: guy to replace Kobe. But like we're just we're really 466 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 6: stretching at this point. Like this isn't the days of 467 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 6: the Seahawks of five six years ago right where we're 468 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 6: just listing off the one, two, three, four five We 469 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 6: all need guys there. I mean, if we go in 470 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 6: next season with Bradford as a starter, okay, he was, 471 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 6: he was okay in the Super Bowl outside of a 472 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 6: couple of players. Sure, you know, like like sharbon Ay 473 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 6: if he's healthy, I don't mind relying on him and 474 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 6: having like a Rashad White as a running back too. 475 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 6: But yeah, we'd liked upgrade. But none of these are 476 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 6: red flags. 477 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 8: I can't think of a Seahawk team that had twenty 478 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 8: one of twenty two starting positions plus punter, kicker, in 479 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 8: return man that were filled by good to very good 480 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 8: to elite players. I don't even think the twenty thirteen 481 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 8: team had good to very good to elite at twenty 482 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 8: one of twenty two spots, right. 483 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I just think this. 484 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: I think running back is clearly the number one spot 485 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: and it's not even close, you know. I mean, look, 486 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Bradford, you know, yeah, I could use an upgrade there. 487 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: But if they roll with him again, he's a veteran, 488 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: He's been around the block. 489 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 3: If Sharbonnay could play Week one, would you have the 490 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: same fea. 491 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I like Sharbonnay in the same role he 492 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: was in last year. I agree, you know, I don't 493 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: want to mess with that. I want to find another 494 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 1: guy that can do what Kenny Walker can do and 495 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: just throw both those guys out there. I don't want 496 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: all of a sudden go to Sharberday and say three 497 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: hundred carries no, because that's not what he is. I 498 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: want him to have the exact role that he had 499 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: a year ago. And I'm looking at some draft prospects 500 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: at corner. It's a little bit different than running back. 501 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: There's like ten guys in the top hundred that you 502 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: could grab. And I think, if you're a Seahawks fan, 503 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: like I know I've made this reference before, but when 504 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: the Seahawks had Bryce Fisher and Grant Wistrom and they 505 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: drafted Lawrence Jackson, not Lauren Jackson, but Lawrence Jackson from 506 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: USC and people were like, what. 507 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: Are you doing that for? You've already got Wistrom and Fisher. 508 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: Well, because eventually those guys will leave and you need 509 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: depth at edge and you need to have a rotation 510 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: on your defensive line. Now, Jackson didn't pan out, But 511 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the philosophy, right, Like, who knows 512 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: if these guys will work. I'm not even talking about 513 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: which guy they should take or why they should take him. 514 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously at corner, and I don't know if 515 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald has the same thing for corners that Pete 516 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: Carroll did, and that's the long thirty two inch arm 517 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: thing that we all talked about. As long as Schneider's here, 518 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: he may believe, like I kind of like D'Angelo Ponds, 519 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: the kid from Indiana, but he's short and doesn't have 520 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: long arms, so he may not be on the Hawks. 521 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: So look for guys like that. 522 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: But that's the thing is that if there's a top notch, 523 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: if their number one corner is on the board at 524 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: thirty two and the Hawks haven't traded down, take them. 525 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 526 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: Pairing that guy up with Devin Witherspoon after he signs 527 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: his new contract be unbelievable to get that done. Now, 528 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: if the number one edge rusher on your board is 529 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: on the board at thirty. 530 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: Two, get them whatever will be does it well. 531 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: But I'm telling I'm saying, they're number one guy, right, 532 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: like the best player left that they still think might 533 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: be worthy of that pick. I mean, yeah, if they're 534 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: number one guy is a top ten pick, then whatever. 535 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: But my point is that I don't really care who's here. 536 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: Now. That's my point on the draft. 537 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: A lot of people look at the draft and say, 538 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: how can I fix a hole today? There's a reason 539 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: why guys are under contract for four or five years people, 540 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: because it's not just about today. So I think, if 541 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: you're the Hawks, I don't care who's here. I don't 542 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 1: care who you've got play in that spot. 543 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 2: Now. Hell, if you think there's a quarterback that you're 544 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: in love with, do it. What the hell? Why not? 545 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,199 Speaker 1: If there's a star at Court Jackson, if there's a 546 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: quarterback that's there that John Schneider thinks is going to 547 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: be a star in the NFL, you gotta take them. 548 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: So you gotta take him. Man. 549 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 6: That's that's my line, because I do think we are 550 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 6: in a super Bowl all the time. You dis agree, 551 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 6: it's fine now, but right now we are in a 552 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 6: super Bowl window. I think of the next what two three, four, 553 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 6: maybe it's probably two three years, And if you look 554 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 6: at that window right now, you need a player who's 555 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 6: gonna maximize that window. 556 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. I just don't agree with that. 557 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 6: Okay, that's fine. 558 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. 559 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 6: That's fine. 560 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 3: I think, well, hold on, didn't you do that last year? 561 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 8: Didn't we get like, didn't we get the quarterback last 562 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 8: year that we hoped would be the quarterback in four years. 563 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 6: And that's my thought. That's my thought right now is 564 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 6: you have the guys, so why would we do an 565 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 6: idea window. 566 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 2: Win because I don't know what John Schneider's thinking. Guys. 567 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: John Schneider may look at a player and again I'm 568 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: not this is obviously a pie in the sky scenario. Okay, 569 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: I mean I'm going to the least likely situation that 570 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: there's a quarterback the Hawks love at thirty two. I'm 571 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: just saying number one, I don't think they're gonna pick 572 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: at thirty two. 573 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: I don't think anybody does. 574 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: And if they do pick a thirty two, if their 575 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: best player available happens to be a quarterback, and their 576 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: best player available is by far and away, they think 577 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: the best guy at that spot and everybody else is wrong, 578 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: and they pass on that dude, and that guy becomes 579 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 1: a star no matter what position it is, wide receiver, quarterback, 580 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: left tackle, anything. John Schneider's gonna be kicking himself for 581 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: the rest of his life. And that's not how John 582 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: Schneider operates. He goes out and gets the best guy 583 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: he can find. That's what he's always done. So I 584 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: just think this is a year where all of a sudden, 585 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: now with Reek taking off and Kenny Walker taking off, 586 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: and Boye Mafe and Kobe Bryant taking off, you've got 587 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: a lot more flexibility on what you can do and 588 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: what you can get away with. And we're talking about 589 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, like the fans reaction to what they do 590 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: on draft Day. They could or shouldn't give a crap 591 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: about any of that stuff. It shouldn't matter at all. 592 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, if their best player on the 593 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: board is the guy that they think is going to 594 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: be a Hall of Fame player, but they don't necessarily 595 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: need him right now, I trust them to do it 596 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: and get. 597 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 6: Them every single position I'm with you on except for quarterback. 598 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 6: That's the only that's the only position I have an issue. 599 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think you're missing out, dude, because Sam Donald 600 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: could blow his knee out tomorrow and never be the 601 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: same guy that he was. 602 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 3: Ye, you wouldn't start a guy that you drafted this 603 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 3: year anyway. 604 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 2: Right, He's going to be a backup. He's going to 605 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 2: be a backup. 606 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: He's gonna sit there and learn from Sam Donald and 607 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: maybe he steps in and makes nothing I mean, you 608 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: guys are just thinking about now. I think the Seahawks 609 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: more often than not look at the draft as a 610 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: long term project. 611 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 2: I would agree, way long term project. 612 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 8: I agree with that, but I also said, you did 613 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 8: it last year in the third round. It's not like 614 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 8: you took a seventh round pick on a quarterback. You 615 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 8: took a third round pick on a quarter. 616 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 2: You think they look at Jalen Milroe as the future 617 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: what they. 618 00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 6: Look at ja. 619 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,919 Speaker 8: I think drafting a quarterback early in this draft, right 620 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 8: when you have three or four needs to fill where 621 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 8: you were almost a perfect team again like you were 622 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 8: last year, you gotta. 623 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: Fill those Let's see. 624 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: That's another example though, of why the Hawks don't agree 625 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: with that, because they took Jalen Frickin Milroe in the 626 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: third round, rowing full well, he would likely play no 627 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: role on this football team for twenty twenty six and 628 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: likely will play no role next year, by the way. 629 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 8: So you're gonna get rid of Jaylen Miller? Well, then 630 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 8: if you draft a quarterback early, I'm all keep possibly. Possibly. 631 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 8: I mean, look, the airs are the Cardinals. I'll just 632 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 8: give you an example. 633 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: The Cardinals aren't the greatest example out there because they're 634 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: not known for making the right moves. But the airs 635 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: are a Cardinals draft that Josh Rosen number ten overall, 636 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: saw him play and then saw Kyler Murray the next 637 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: year and said, you know what, man, The philosophy here 638 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: is that we think Rosen is not what we thought. 639 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: We think that Kyler Murray's going to be a star. 640 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: We're taking him. And they got rid of Josh Rosen 641 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: after one fricking year. My point is this, if you 642 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: see a stud and it's all about what you believe, right, 643 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: if these guys are paid to. 644 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 3: Evaluate you see Russell Wilson again. 645 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: If they believe that they've got a guy there who's 646 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna be a Hall of Fame caliber player, and everybody 647 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL is missing out. And again I'm stretching 648 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: reality here. 649 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: But he didn't once point. They didn't want. 650 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: If they believe that guy is there, They gave Matt 651 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: Flynn money and said, we don't care, we love Russell, Well, 652 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: we're taking them. 653 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: And I just think that's the way you got to 654 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: do it. Man. You can't worry about what you have 655 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 2: on your roster. 656 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: The draft, in my opinion, the most important thing about 657 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: the draft, and if you can fill immediate holes, then awesome. 658 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: But the most important thing to me about the draft 659 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: is finding great players period, no matter where they are 660 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: or when you plan on them playing, or whether you 661 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: need them today. You have to use the draft to 662 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: find great players, and the Hawks over off, for the 663 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: most part, have done a pretty good job of that. Right, 664 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: all right, we'll get some texts next segment. John Winner 665 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: is gonna hop on a five a little bit. Danny 666 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: Sprinkle at six on ninety three three kJ RFM
