1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,920 Speaker 1: Uh, you see Demon Williams as a brand new number. 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 2: But yeah, I did. He took him. You know, it 3 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 2: fits a little better than Jonas did. It did it's 4 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: little Jonahs had to come over a big shoulder pads and. 5 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 3: Uh, Jonah looks like he was actually trying to wear 6 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 3: Demon's jersey and just stretch it out like you know, 7 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 3: is that like a thing that the kids want to 8 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 3: They look yoked like. 9 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean, people in the audience probably don't remember. You 10 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: and me are old enough. 11 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: Remember Shane Powacoa used to tuck his jersey underneath his 12 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 3: paws so his eight pack would hang out. If I 13 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 3: did that and I showed you what my stomach looked like, 14 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: you'd vomit. Okay, So nobody wants to see that. 15 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 4: The nineties ab look and the neck roll look. 16 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: That's right fabulous. But you didn't see it in combo 17 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 3: very often. No, usually one of the offer, yeah, usually 18 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 3: one of the other. Remember Billy Joe Hobert had the 19 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 3: neck roll on. Yeah, he would play quarter weird for 20 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 3: a quarter. 21 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 22 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: He was also a punter too, Remember that he punned 23 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: for a while here. 24 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: Anyway, we're at you, dub Jed Fish gonna join us 25 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: in about twenty five minutes or so, uh, right before 26 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: practice starts. 27 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: And uh, look, I I'm just curious about this whole thing. 28 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 5: Man. 29 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: I know that they did a big press conference with 30 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 3: Demon while we were at the super Bowl. By the way, 31 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: we weren't here for that one, so we couldn't we 32 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: couldn't grill him that day. 33 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: And then Demand apparently spoke Jeff. 34 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 5: Is that right? 35 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 3: He spoke after practice Tuesday, and he looked like he 36 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 3: was in a pretty good mood and he looked happy 37 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 3: whatever fit fat happy. Well, whatever he's making I just 38 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: shouldn't make him one. I mean, I've I've heard three 39 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 3: million dollars is what he's getting paid. So I don't 40 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 3: know if that's accurate or not, but I've thrown that 41 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 3: number out there. Other people have reported the same thing 42 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: that LSU was gonna maybe, you know, go go a 43 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: bit above that. But I'm just curious how people feel 44 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: about this because I got to be totally honest with you. 45 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: I I gotta find a way to get over this. 46 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 3: I really do. 47 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: You're not yet, I am. 48 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm a little. 49 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: Bit queasy inside that the guy starting at quarterback for you, 50 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: Dub tried to quit the team, and it bugs me. 51 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm not losing sleep over it. 52 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 3: You know, I'm not as pissed off as I was 53 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: that week when I was livid that week this whole thing, 54 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: But there's still a small part of me that is, like, man, 55 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: I'm going to go out as because I've never experienced 56 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: this before as a Hosky football fan. 57 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: Ever, I don't remember it happening. 58 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 3: Maybe there's somebody can remind me of somebody, But from 59 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: a quarterback perspective, going to a game, going to the 60 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 3: Apple Cup in September and going to this stadium and 61 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: watching a game and watching a guy play who didn't 62 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: want to be here and apparently only came back because 63 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: he had no choice. I mean, look, I'm not going 64 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 3: to sit here and you know, bang the point home 65 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 3: every day for the next six months. It's not going 66 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: to be a major talking point for me. I'm just 67 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: sharing my emotions right now on day one for us 68 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: of Husky Football spring ball that there's still a small 69 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 3: part of me that's a little bit kind of queasy 70 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 3: about the whole thing. 71 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: How about you? 72 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 4: For me, I had to make a choice when we 73 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 4: started this nil air because I lost the battle, I 74 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: mean the battle was for me. 75 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: I was always be loyal. 76 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 5: To your school. 77 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: Sign with the school, don't sign with the coach. Sign 78 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: with the school. 79 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 4: You can't transfer unless you're transferring up a division or 80 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 4: below or down a division. That was always for my 81 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 4: entire life, that was my mantra. Well, that mantra doesn't 82 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: work anymore. So I had to choose, all right. I 83 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 4: can either be pissed off every time a kid leaves 84 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 4: the University of Washington, or I can just accept it 85 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 4: as the new reality. And I've decided to accept it 86 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 4: as a new reality. 87 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: I'm at peace with this. 88 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 4: And I have no loyalty whatsoever to any of the 89 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 4: names on the back. I only have loyalty to the 90 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: purple W on the gold helmet. So who's ever play 91 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 4: with a purple W and a gold helmet on? I'm 92 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: gonna be rooting for that guy, whether he played for 93 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 4: here last year, the year before, the year before, or 94 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 4: whether he came from Wake Forest or Arizona State. 95 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I'm not not rooting for him. 96 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: I mean, the quarterback of my favorite team of all time, right, 97 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: I mean, Washington football for me is number one above everything. 98 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: But it just still makes me kind of feel a 99 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: little weird, like, all right, I mean, this guy tried 100 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: to quit, you know, and if things don't go well 101 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: and he doesn't perform, which I think he's actually going 102 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: to to be honest with you, I think the schedule. 103 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: Was set up. 104 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: He's talent, well, the schedule is set up for him 105 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: to go out and have a really great year. Right 106 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 3: how he does against Indiana Oregon at the end of 107 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: the year. I got no idea, but I think Demon 108 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: Williams is going to actually have a pretty damn good 109 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: season and he's actually kind of lucky the schedule plays 110 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: out the way it does. I think Washington's going to 111 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: be a top twenty five team for the majority of 112 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: the year, agreed, And I'd be disappointed if they weren't 113 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: by that. 114 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 4: And by the end of the season, before they play 115 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: those two games, they could be a top ten. 116 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: Well, they should be in the playoff hunt. They just 117 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: should be. I mean with their offensive line. Their offensive 118 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 3: line is totally different now than it was two years 119 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 3: ago when Jetfish showed up with the hatchet Men as 120 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: a party. John Mills and then the freshman tackle and 121 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: Cody Green. We'll see about that how he performs at 122 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 3: the age of eighteen years old. But I feel I 123 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 3: feel really good about this team, and I feel really 124 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 3: good about the quarterback. It just still again, is just 125 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 3: something in the back of my mind that he tried 126 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: to quit. And again, I'm totally with you, because I've 127 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: said that before on this radio show that I'm just 128 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: going year to year. All these guys in the football 129 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: team right now, I'm not expecting any of them back 130 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: next season. 131 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: That's right one, and if it happens, it happens. 132 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: But it's different with the quarterback, right Like again, it's 133 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: different to be sitting and watching players that you tell yourself, 134 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: hey man, there's a real good chance these guys may 135 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: not be here next season, so just enjoy the nets. 136 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: That's great. But that's not the case with Demand. 137 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: We're not sitting here looking at Demand saying, hey, he 138 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: may not be here next year, which we actually kind 139 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: of are, but we're dealing with that on top of 140 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: the idea that he tried to quit. Yeah, I mean, 141 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 3: it's like a two prong thing. So and it's the 142 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: most important position. So it's totally different than just looking 143 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: at you know, I don't know, you know, Jordan Washington 144 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: or Des Roebuck or John Mills or whoever, and thinking, man, 145 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: there's a chance that we got to live with and 146 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: accept that that guy may not be here next year. 147 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: And I've accepted that. I've said that on the air. 148 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: I'm totally with you one thousand percent. But then you 149 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 3: also factor in the idea that we're talking about the 150 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: leader of the team, a quarterback who tried to leave 151 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 3: the program and choice but to come back. 152 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: So this is more just cathartic for me to be 153 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,679 Speaker 1: totally honest with you, guys. 154 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: I'm just venting here to you. Yeah, for the most part. 155 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: On the radio show, I'm just curious. I'm just curious 156 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 3: how Husky Nation feels right now, three months after this 157 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 3: whole thing. 158 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 4: K I think it bugs Husky Nation more than it 159 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 4: bugs the guys in the uniform that are playing with 160 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: Ramond Williams, right, and that's really all that matters, Right, 161 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: And I think Husky Nation is going to be rightfully 162 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: excited and skeptical at the same time, excited that we 163 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 4: have a quarterback that is amongst the best in the country, 164 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 4: that should be a top ten Heisman Trophy, guy that 165 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: should rack up tons of stats against a very beatable 166 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: schedule for the first two and a half months of 167 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: the season, and then the skeptical part comes in. Okay, Indiana, Oregon, 168 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 4: have you elevated your game to the point where you 169 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: can beat a top ten team or are you still 170 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: the same to Mond Williams, that puts up ridiculous numbers 171 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 4: against anybody who's not in the top twenty and struggles 172 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 4: against the elite of the college football. 173 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: And we're not gonna know that till November. 174 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: No, we're not. 175 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: I mean, look, well, there might be a couple of 176 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 3: teams on their schedule that end up being better than 177 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: we thought they were gonna be. So there might be 178 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: a couple of surprises in October, you know whatever, late September. 179 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right, I mean, with their schedule early on, 180 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: he should kill it. I mean, this is the same 181 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: kind of schedule they had a year ago against the 182 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: non conference. Now, Cougar fans will tell you they're gonna 183 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: be better than we think. So we'll see. We'll see 184 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: about that, right, we'll see it. They got brand new 185 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: head coach. Everything's different there. We'll see what happens. They're 186 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: coming to town in the opener obviously here in Week 187 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: one at Husky Stadium. But it's set up for him 188 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: to do exactly what he did a year ago, which 189 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: is go crazy in the first three games of the 190 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: year and kind of get on the radar a little bit, 191 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: you know, for maybe a dark course for the Heisman Trophy. 192 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 3: So I'm not sitting here rooting against him, because that's 193 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: sacrilegious for me. 194 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: I mean to be rooting it. 195 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: Only time I ever rooted against Washington is at the 196 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 3: end of the two thousand and eight season when we 197 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: wanted Tyrone Willingham to get fired and then he got fired, 198 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: and he was like, he's already fire already, may as 199 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: well win a couple of games. And they couldn't even 200 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: do that, right, So that's the only time I've ever 201 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: done anything like that anything. I mean, Mariners, you know, 202 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: for a draft pick, Seahawks for a draft pick. Yeah, 203 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: but there's no freaking draft in college football, so there's 204 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: been no reason outside of getting rid of somebody to 205 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 3: root against the Huskies. So there's no way I'm doing that. 206 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: But it is a very weird, odd, new, peculiar, unusual 207 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: emotion that we're going to go into the year with 208 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 3: and maybe there's people out there listening right now, Dick 209 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: that have just. 210 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: Totally moved on. 211 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 3: Not a big deal, whatever. They forgive him. Great, he's 212 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: a kid, he made a mistake. Great, you feel like that, 213 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: totally get it. Awesome, Awesome. There's just a small again 214 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: part of me that is a little bit kind of 215 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 3: freaked out the fact that our quarterback did what he did. 216 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: So we'll see. 217 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: We'll talk to Jeed fish about a lot of that. Obviously, 218 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: we're going to focus on the demand thing. But there's 219 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: a lot of new players on this team, man, not 220 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,599 Speaker 3: as many as are worth two years ago. There's a 221 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: lot of new players on this team. So here's what 222 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: we got. Jed will join us in about twenty minutes 223 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: from now. Mariners have the day off. They're in LA tomorrow. 224 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 3: The Pirates who mentioned this are calling up their number 225 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: one prospect. He's actually the number one prospect and all 226 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 3: of baseball shortstop named Connor Griffin, who's nineteen. 227 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 5: He's getting nine. 228 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: Years, one hundred and forty million dollars. 229 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: We're gonna talk to Jerry to Poto at four Dick 230 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: about the cold Emerson deal, the ABS system, how they're 231 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: challenging it how they're dealing with it, or there's certain 232 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: players that they've kind of designated as guys that, hey, 233 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: we want you to have complete control. You see something 234 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: you don't like, like a rose arena the other night, 235 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: immediately noticed that he was getting screwed and tapped his head. 236 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: Does every player have that ability? 237 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 5: You know? 238 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: What about extensions for other guys? 239 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: Because if you notice something, man, most of the players 240 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 3: that the Mariners have extended, whether young or veteran, have 241 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: been hitters, right. I mean, they gave Castillo a new contract, 242 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: but only because they had to, right, because they just traded. 243 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 5: For the guy. 244 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: So there has not been one guy that's come up 245 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: through their system under Jerry Depoto, a starting pitcher that 246 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: has yet earned a second contest? 247 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: Has there been a guy that deserved a second comment? 248 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: No, not yet, not yet. I mean, but this is 249 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 3: all kind of fairly new territory. Right, They're gonna have 250 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 3: to figure out how many of these dudes they want 251 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 3: to extend because they're getting older. I mean, pitchers have 252 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: arm problems obviously. Like you notice all these guys in 253 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 3: the Miners that are getting deals, they're all hitters. Nobody's 254 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: gonna give a nineteen year old pitcher or anything until 255 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: he proves he can stay healthy, because the guy could 256 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: blow his arm out tomorrow. It's totally different. So we'll 257 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 3: talk to Jerry about all that. But I mean, look, 258 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: Logan's got two years left on his deal, Kirby's got three, 259 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: Wu's got three. Uh talking to Jerry excuse me, Larry 260 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: Stone about that yesterday. His point is exactly mine that 261 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 3: at this point Logan Gilbert, unless the Mariners blow his 262 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,599 Speaker 3: socks out of the water, he may just want to 263 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: wait until free agency. 264 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he may. 265 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 4: I'm I'm looking at a world that potentially could exist 266 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: that you're starting five as Anderson and Sloan and Wu 267 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 4: and Gilbert and Kirby, and I'm like, and all those 268 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: guys are locked up up for long term and I'm like, wow, 269 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: I mean that that could be. I mean, that's like 270 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 4: Atlanta Braves nineteen early nineteen nineties esque right there, when 271 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 4: you basically have five guys that can all be deemed 272 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 4: as a number one or number two starter, right and 273 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 4: you know Castillo's not going to be here for the 274 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: long term, and you never know with Emerson Hancock or 275 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: maybe he you know, maybe he pops and becomes a 276 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: guy that's that good, or maybe he just becomes, you know, 277 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: a sixth starter, a guy that goes back to the bullpen. 278 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: You and I both like him a lot. He was 279 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 4: awesome in his first outing. But you know, I'm just 280 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: super I'm as optimistic about the future of the Mariners 281 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: right now than I have been in twenty five thirty. 282 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 3: Years, right, Right, Yeah, for sure, because the last twenty 283 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: four or five years has been, for the most part, 284 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: a big black hole of nothing. I mean, there isn't 285 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 3: much to compare it to, right, I mean maybe you 286 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: could say. 287 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: But I'm even more optimistic now than I was, say 288 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,599 Speaker 4: in two thousand and one, because I looked at that 289 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 4: team and I was like, well, these guys are all thirty. 290 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: Three years of age, right. 291 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 4: You know, the guys that are the guys that are 292 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 4: making the Mariners go between. You know, if you want 293 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: to count Colt Emerson and who knows, he maybe one. 294 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 4: I mean they're between twenty two and thirty years of age. 295 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 4: They're in the all in their prime. 296 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: Of their careers. 297 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 5: Yeah. 298 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: I don't remember back in two thousand and one coming out, 299 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: I mean coming out of two thousand and one, I 300 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: thought the Mariners might be the best team in baseball again, right, 301 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: but for the. 302 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 2: Long term, Yeah, we didn't any young guys. 303 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: I don't remember the minor league system back then. I mean, 304 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: I don't remember having access to hear about the minor 305 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: league system back then twenty five years ago the way 306 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 3: that we do now. There was no social media. But 307 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: I don't even remember who was in the Miners back then. 308 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 4: I'm just talking about the age of the stars on 309 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: the on the rust, I get it. 310 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: I mean, I still think with each row as the 311 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: centerpiece of that whole thing was, with Pat Gillick as 312 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: your GM, you thought you were going to be in 313 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 3: a pretty good spot. But I mean, look, I mean 314 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: what I remember twenty five years ago, Dick, I got 315 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 3: no freaking idea. I don't remember what the hell I 316 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: remember this morning. Okay, So I have no idea. I 317 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: just know this that I feel like this is a 318 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 3: pretty damn good spot that the Mariners are in. Absolutely. 319 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: I mean, they've got young guys locked up. They got 320 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: Julio locked up, they got Cow locked up, they got 321 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: first base locked up, they got second base locked up, 322 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 3: they got shortstop locked up.

Number one, they don't use the old 413 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: tunnel anymore. That whole thing's done it's still there. They 414 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: just don't use it, all right. So the players go 415 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: into the tunnel and then they take a hard left 416 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 3: into the locker room. 417 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: So the old tunnel with. 418 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 3: The brick wall and all that stuff that was painted gold, 419 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 3: they don't even go up there anymore. And then number two, 420 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: the opponent doesn't use that tunnel either. 421 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: That's right, we stick them over in the shed. 422 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: They're in the southeast corner of the stadium. 423 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: Now. 424 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: So the idea that the uh oh, that locker room 425 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 3: is horrible, it's it's a high school is worse than 426 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: the high school locker room. I swear to God, Bellevue 427 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: High School has a nicer locker room than we give 428 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 3: our opponents here at U, Which is the way it 429 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 3: should be. I thinking, so honestly, I think they should 430 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 3: turn the showers on and mud should come out of it. 431 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, like the old rumors. 432 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: That I remember what Yankee Stadium they never turn the 433 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 4: hot water on things like that. I'm trying to remember 434 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 4: what college it was that cranks the opponent locker room 435 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 4: to like ninety five degrees. 436 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't know, but that's a good idea. 437 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: I'm going to write that one down. 438 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 5: Man, have some. 439 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: Nails, push pins on the floor, garbage on the floor, 440 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: cow dung in the shower, do it up, man?

Because this draft sucks? 495 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 5: Yeah? 496 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: Zero. 497 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 4: If we have bocks and we have four picks, this 498 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: is the twenty twenty one draft all over it, right, 499 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: This is the one where we drafted Stone Forsyth and 500 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 4: two other dudes and see you later, I mean, and 501 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 4: who knows how many picks will end up? You know, 502 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 4: maybe we trade our first pick for a running back, right, 503 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 4: I mean, maybe we end up with three picks in 504 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 4: his draft. 505 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 506 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 4: But John's done it before, He's ended up with three 507 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 4: guys before. 508 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: So the twenty fourteen draft, the year after the Seahawks 509 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 3: won their first championship. I believe the I did not 510 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 3: have a first rounder because they triggered it for Percy 511 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 3: Harvin right, and they took Paul Richardson. I think it 512 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 3: was in twenty fourteen. What year did they take Kristen Michael? 513 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 3: Was that twenty fourteen?

Maybe 661 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 7: that's because I'm in the quarterback room every day, so 662 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 7: I know it more than the last year or so. 663 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 7: So I think that our fans should be really excited about. 664 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 3: D Why did you make that move? Like you just 665 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 3: talked about, you're more involved now you're in the quarterback room. 666 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 3: There's no real coordinator and name on the roster. You 667 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 3: hired JP obviously, But tell me what you saw last 668 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 3: year that made you make that move. 669 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. I felt like. 670 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 7: We were probably just won too many voices, and a 671 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 7: lot of times I felt like we were in a 672 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 7: situation where he was getting double teamed, you know, in 673 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 7: terms of something we would make a correction and then 674 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 7: the correction would be made again, or you know, he'd 675 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 7: have to sit through a film watching with me, and 676 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 7: they did after go into the quarterback room and get 677 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 7: a film watching again. And I felt as if what 678 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 7: was happening is we were losing the relationship that he 679 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 7: and I that I felt was so important, and that 680 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 7: it became more of like good cop, bad cop, and 681 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 7: I don't think that's what we needed. So I felt 682 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 7: like what was best for us was to have a 683 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 7: situation where I could be more attached to him, build 684 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 7: that relationship even stronger, and then in turn also bring 685 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 7: in a veteran presence like Matt Kavanaugh, who has just 686 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 7: done it for so long and been around so much 687 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 7: football that he's able to kind of give more of 688 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 7: a broad spectrum approach rather than the approach of really 689 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 7: us doing the same thing for six years. 690 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 4: How much are distractions real and how much are they 691 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 4: created by the media, And I'll give you some examples 692 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 4: the demand situation you mentioned Arizona. Tommy Lloyd's getting asked 693 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 4: every single day right now as he's preparing for the 694 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 4: Final Four, whether he's going to North Carolina or not. 695 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 4: Caitlin de Borr was asked every single day while he 696 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 4: was preparing to play Michigan in the National championship whether 697 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 4: he is going someplace. 698 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 2: So are are those media creation or are they they 699 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: legit to some extent? 700 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 5: You know, I was asked a lot too, by the way, 701 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 5: at the end of the last you weren't many a thing. 702 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 7: Why who guys? You know, like whatever answer you give 703 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 7: is never good enough. So you know, I think it's 704 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 7: kind of funny. I'm sitting back and watching you know 705 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 7: what answers people are giving, and uh, there's no good 706 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 7: answer other than I am one thousand percent signing a 707 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 7: lifetime contract that my name is Bill self, right, Like, 708 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 7: would you say that but be one? There'd have to 709 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 7: be one in front of me to side, right, But 710 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 7: I would say that, you know it's it's distractions are NonStop, 711 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 7: and how you deal with them and are you able 712 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 7: to put it aside? And what I think each coach's 713 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 7: approach is very different, right right, Lane's approach. I mean, 714 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 7: could you imagine, I said all the time, I couldn't 715 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 7: even imagine being an almost football player last year for 716 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 7: whatever reason, just the amount of talk of you know 717 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 7: that that was constantly going on, but they managed a 718 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 7: way to handle distractions. I would say the same thing 719 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 7: that you know it looks certainly looked like Arizona basketball. 720 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 5: It's handling distractions exceptionally well. 721 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 7: I mean, those guys are playing unbelievable. So I just 722 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 7: feel like it is what it is in this world 723 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 7: that there's going to be. Just like I said last December, 724 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 7: if you have success or if people deem you as 725 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 7: somebody that they would be interested in talking to, it's 726 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 7: going to get out there. The media is going to 727 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 7: talk about it. The media is going to it's happening. 728 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 7: With that being the case, you gotta be. You got 729 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 7: to decide how you want to handle with your team, 730 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 7: You got to decide how you want to handle with 731 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 7: your family, and then you let it rip and then 732 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 7: you see what happens. 733 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 3: All right, a few more minutes with jetfish. Matt's behind 734 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 3: me telling me we got to wrap it up. You 735 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 3: don't want to cross him. We'll be in a lake 736 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: by the way. So let me just ask you this, 737 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: what what is your what position group do you have 738 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 3: the most confidence in right now? Besides quarterback? Let's just 739 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: take quarterback out of it. What position group do you 740 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: feel the best about right now? And what group by 741 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 3: the end of springball do you want to see take 742 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: the biggest step. 743 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 7: I love our linebacker group right now. I'm very high, 744 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 7: very bullish on our linebacker group. You know, I think 745 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 7: we have four linebackers that have started a substantial amount 746 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 7: of football. 747 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 5: I would bet if you put the total starts in 748 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 5: there of. 749 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 7: Jacob Manu Buddha, and x Ray in Power for or 750 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 7: Division one football, you'd have a ton of starts. And 751 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 7: then adds Adrius Randy Sally who started the last six 752 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 7: games or five games of last season, who's an incredible 753 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 7: football player, and you add him in that equation. The 754 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 7: amount of starts that that group of four has has 755 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 7: got to be one of the most, if not the most, 756 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 7: in any linebacker room in the country. Uh So, I 757 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 7: feel great about that. Your question was which group don't 758 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 7: want to say that I'd like to see. I'd like 759 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 7: to see what the defensive line looks like at the 760 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 7: end of spring. Yeah, you know, I love I think Alineus, 761 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 7: Derrick Coman, Brusa, Conley Watts, you know, those guys on 762 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 7: Mark Kahn. 763 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 5: Then we got a couple more coming in in the spring. 764 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 7: But those guys have all, you know, really invested in 765 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 7: our bodies and invested in football. 766 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 5: And I feel in the two months or three months 767 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 5: they've been here. 768 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 7: But you know, I feel like those guys on the 769 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 7: interior and then the edges, you know that with Jacob Blaine, 770 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 7: Isaiah Ward being back, and then Low and George being here, 771 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 7: and then you know, continue to get Devin Hyde improvement. 772 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 5: I think we're gonna have a really group. 773 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: Yeah all right, you gotta go. 774 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 5: Hey, I'm the head coach. Yeah, they go. 775 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: I love that, hear that. 776 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 5: I love that. 777 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 4: Well, let's talk about your running back room, because ever 778 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 4: since you've been here, Jed, the Husky fans haven't had 779 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 4: to worry about the running back. I mean, you turn 780 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 4: around handed to one, turn around to handed twenty four, 781 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 4: and you're good. Right, Well, now one's gone, twenty four 782 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 4: is gone. So tell us about Lamar, tell us about Bonner. 783 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 4: Obviously we know Jordan Washington a little bit. How what's 784 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 4: your comfort level handing the ball off to those guys 785 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 4: right now? 786 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 7: Very very high right now. But also I really want 787 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 7: to see what it looks like as we go. I 788 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 7: was watching today. You know, Jaye, Lamar, Trey Cooley. Neither 789 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 7: of those guys are able to practice in the spring, 790 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 7: which gives Jordan Washington and Quaid Car a ton of reps. Okay, 791 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 7: so I'm getting to see them a lot. I got 792 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 7: to see what Bonner and on suit looks like a 793 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 7: couple of steps the other day. I think eight steps 794 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 7: each yesterday or Tuesday's practice. But I think Jordan Washington 795 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 7: is going to be a special running back. And I 796 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 7: believe that Quaid Car has all the skills of anyone 797 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 7: that we've ever had at that age, last year and 798 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 7: this year. 799 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 5: So I'm excited about the group. 800 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 7: And then of course when Jaden Lamar gets back and 801 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 7: Trey gets back, we should have some good define. 802 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, well we know the deal from the fans perspective 803 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: in the media. I mean, you talked about the narrative. 804 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 3: It's just real quick, and you know the narrative is easy. 805 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 3: We all want to know how Jed Fish and Demand 806 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 3: Williams do against the best teams on their schedule. Right, 807 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 3: it's year three. Time to rock and roll. Why do 808 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 3: you feel like this will be different? Why is this offense? 809 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: Why is this football team ready to do things that 810 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 3: they have not done the first couple of years. 811 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think it's always interesting, right, everything 812 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 7: could be spun certain ways. I think the bottom line is, 813 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 7: you know, against the great defenses, no one's scoring a 814 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,719 Speaker 7: lot of points. And against the other defenses, the good 815 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 7: teams are scoring a lot of points. 816 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 5: I believe that. 817 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 7: You know, we went from one hundred and fourth in 818 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 7: scoring offense to fifth to seventeenth in scoring offense in 819 00:33:59,320 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 7: the country. 820 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 5: We were top ten in red zone, top ten and 821 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 5: third down. 822 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 7: So when you get to that level, you got to 823 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 7: do that for twelve thirteen games in a row. You know, 824 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 7: you look at Ohio State versus you know, Indiana, it's 825 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 7: a ten to seven game or a thirteen to ten day, 826 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 7: Like that's what it's going to be. 827 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 5: We have to understand that, like that is what you know. 828 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 7: ASU versus Washington in twenty three was what sixteen to 829 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 7: seven or whatever the number. Like, there are low scoring 830 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 7: games in this world. So we have to be able 831 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 7: to handle that. What we have to be able to 832 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 7: do is we have to score one more point than 833 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 7: the other team. So we scored seventeen more points in Illinois, 834 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 7: we didn't score seventeen more points than Michigan or Ohio 835 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 7: State or Oregon or Wisconsin. We got to find a 836 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 7: way to score one more point than those guys. Do 837 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 7: and if we did that, then I think we'll be 838 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 7: sitting there in the top ten. And if we don't 839 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 7: do that, yeah, I think we'll be. 840 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 5: Somewhere in the top twenty five. And I love what 841 00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 5: we want to be. 842 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 1: I love it. All right, Well, we'll talk again, all right. 843 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 3: We got a month and a half here, five weeks, 844 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 3: I hope, so go get him.

I love 857 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 3: the fact that we were able to get a few 858 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 3: extra minutes out of him. 859 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: I love talking. 860 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 3: We were told specifically he had to be out of 861 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 3: here by three forty one. He says, Look, I'm the coach. 862 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 3: I can do what I want. Fine, why don't you 863 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 3: hang out with us? I mean, they don't really need 864 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 3: you at practice. All you do is just stand there 865 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 3: right let the assistance coach during exactly, yeah, whatever, whatever. 866 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 3: So he says that, you know they're are ready to 867 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 3: move on and take a step this year. 868 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: Do we believe that? Do we believe this football team? 869 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 3: Look, I will tell you this that the offensive line 870 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 3: is way better than it was two years ago. 871 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: I think it's better than it was last season. 872 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 3: I'm really And one thing that we did not get 873 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 3: to ask about was Cody Green the idea of starting 874 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 3: an eighteen year old at left tackle. 875 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how he does. 876 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 3: I think if there's ever a year to start an 877 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 3: eighteen year old at left tackle, that's right now. Because 878 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 3: of their schedule. I mean, he's going to have a 879 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 3: chance to really get himself comfortable a little bit. But 880 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 3: this guy might be that good, right, I mean, we've 881 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 3: seen there's a phenomenon going on. It goes back to 882 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: a lot of guys. Trey Adams did it as a freshman. 883 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 3: Nick Harris did it as a freshman against Alabama when 884 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,760 Speaker 3: he was two hundred and seventy pounds. Parker Brilsford, Roger 885 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 3: rosenhosen Garten, Doton did it, John Mills did it, and 886 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 3: now Cody Green's doing it. Some of those guys reguards. 887 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 3: Some of those guys were red shirt freshmen and had 888 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 3: a year in the program. But growing up, the idea 889 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 3: of a freshman starting on the offensive line, forget, it 890 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 3: was never gonna happen exactly. 891 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 4: And defensively, you mentioned the question mark, the only question 892 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 4: mark really on the offense. It's kind of an opposite 893 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 4: offense than what we're used to with Washington used to 894 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 4: You're like, hey, we got all the receivers we need, 895 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 4: we got all the tight ends we need, we got 896 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 4: all the running backs we need. 897 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 2: Right now? Do we have somebody to protect right now? 898 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 2: It's kind of the opposite. 899 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 4: It's like, okay, I mean the running backs should be good, 900 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 4: the wide receivers should be good, but you really don't know. 901 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 2: And you've got the offensive line. 902 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 4: On the defensive side of the ball, you got to 903 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: replace Price, Sock and Davis. 904 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 2: I mean that's the thing. 905 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 4: I mean, those you had two all Big ten caliber players, 906 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 4: maybe not first team All Big ten, but certainly all 907 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 4: Big Ten caliber players. Can you do it with Carnly, 908 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 4: the former Arizona guy that he knows really well since 909 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 4: high school. And can you do it with Dylan Robinson 910 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 4: and Rayshon Clark? Can those guys be Can you have 911 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 4: instead of maybe the second third best quarterback tandem in 912 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 4: the conference, can you have the fifth or sixth best 913 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 4: quarter cornerback tandem or are you gonna have the tenth 914 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 4: best cornerback tannhem Because you have the tenth best, then 915 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 4: you're in trouble. 916 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 3: Well, you see, I don't know if you are in 917 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 3: this conference because they lack of quarterback who throws the ball. 918 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, there's a couple of teams, but this 919 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 3: isn't the Pac ten from the nineties. What I want 920 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 3: is I want a front seven that can stop the run. 921 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 3: That's what I want. And when he mentioned he mentioned 922 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 3: the defensive line. He mentioned the guys up front, and 923 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 3: too many times last year and too many times the 924 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 3: year before, they were getting blown off the ball and 925 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 3: that's got to stop. I think they've made a lot 926 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 3: of progress on the offensive line, tremendous amount of progress 927 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 3: on the offensive line. I just don't know where they 928 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 3: are with their defensive line. There's a bunch of guys 929 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 3: on their defensive line. Honestly, I don't know if the 930 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 3: fans even know who the hell they are, honestly, so 931 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 3: I mean, to me, that's the number one. I'm glad 932 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 3: he said that because I totally agree with him. I 933 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 3: would have said, I think the offensive line might be 934 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 3: outside of demand the strength on the football team, but 935 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 3: he mentioned linebackers, and I can go with that too, 936 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 3: But I totally agree with him, Dick. On the defensive front, 937 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 3: that's the group that you got to see take a 938 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 3: step and spring ball and take a step as the 939 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 3: year goes by, because in this conference, it's not gonna 940 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 3: matter what you do in the secondary if you can't 941 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 3: stop people from shoving the ball down your throat. This 942 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 3: is totally different now. Now we've gone from needing a 943 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 3: great secondary and the old pack to needing a great 944 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,399 Speaker 3: front four and a great front seven, and they don't 945 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 3: know if they have it yet. Linebackers. I love front, 946 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 3: defensive front. Yeah, yeah, let's got a break. Jerry Depoto 947 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 3: is gonna join us.
