1
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: There's a number of opinions that are flying and then

2
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: and really John and I figured out and make your choices.

3
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: You know, we've invested so much, and these guys have

4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: invested so much, and it's a challenging process because we

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: don't want to let anybody go, but unfortunately they had

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: to in order to get their roster down to fifty

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: three players. You see some of the notable cuts right here. Again,

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: this is a fluid situation. There's always a chance that

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: some of these guys end up back with the team

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: in some capacity. The Seahawks also with just one quarterback

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, but we would assume that

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: they'll have a backup for Russell Wilson by next week.

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: But all of that overshadowed by reports of a possible

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: blockbuster trade that has gotten the attention of everyone around

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: the league. As we welcome to Seahawks Saturday night, alongside

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: former Seahawks linebacker Dave Wyman, I'm Aaron Levine Dave Da

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Devion Clowney this afternoon taking to Twitter saying go time

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: with a picture saying the Seahawks were trading for him.

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: As of now, no deal is official, but if a

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 1: trade is completed. What does he bring to the table. Well,

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: he brings a lot of ferocity the way he plays.

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: He is incredibly athletic guy, and you know he ran

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: some ridiculous forty or coming out of college. But you

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: just see how relentless he is getting after the quarterback.

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: But the other thing about him is he's a really

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: good run player as well, and that was also I

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: think as much of a problem last year run defense

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: as the lack of pass rush is going into this season.

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: So you know, that's what you just see. This guy

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: is a Pro Bowl caliber player, has made the Pro

31
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Bowl and he's just a very dynamic type of player

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: that here's what I would say about him. He's one

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: of those guys that if you're about to play him

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: against him, you have to have extra meetings. I mean,

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: you have to have extra blockers. I mean, he is

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: a problem for offenses, so very disruptive. And if this

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: does work out, boy, it really puts a whole new

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: look to this defense. Yeah, his stats don't always tell

39
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: the story. He can be a game changer. As you mentioned,

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: he still has eighteen and a half sacks total over

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: the past two seasons. Let's talk about the defensive line.

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: Jaron Reid suspended the first six games. But what would

43
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the front four look like if everyone is available with

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Reid and ziggy Ansa and Poona Ford and potentially Clowney. Well,

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the thing you look at basically you've got two guys

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: with resumes in ziggy Ansa and Jadavian Clowney, and that's

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: not what you've had in the past. So the other thing,

48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm just really excited to see Poona four, I think

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: everybody is. And whyn't you get Jared Reid back after

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: a six game suspension. The other thing LJ. Collier, let's

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: see what he has. Really haven't seen that much from him.

52
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: He got hurt early on, but it's a it's a

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: good group of guys. I'm always expecting things from Machine Green,

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: so you know there's a lot of potential there. But

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, you've got proven veteran Once you

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: get Jared Reid back and ten and a half sacks

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: last year for him, and then Punaford and the two

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: guys on the edge, it's going to be all of

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: a sudden. This D line looks like it could be

60
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: one of the better D lines in the league. And

61
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, I know San Francisco that you're looking at there,

62
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: they have a really good defensive line. But if Poona

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Ford is what we all expect him to be, and

64
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: then Ziggy Ansa and Jadevion Clowney play the way that

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: they can, and then you have Jared Reid coming back

66
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: after six weeks really good D line and that to

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: mention you got really good linebacker. Yeah, let's talk about

68
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: that linebackers. If you combine the front four with the linebackers,

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: is this potentially one of the best front sevens in

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: all football? Well, look, I still think the D line

71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: has to prove that, but when you look at linebackers, absolutely,

72
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: and you know the guy who might have the best

73
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: year out of that group right there might be Michael Kendricks.

74
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: That game that he had against the Chargers is one

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of the best preseason games I've seen a player have,

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: and it's it's tough to get going in the preseason,

77
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: and you see the way they can use him. They're

78
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: going to try to keep three linebackers on the field.

79
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: So you mentioned that front seven, those guys will be

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: playing together quite a bit, and you know, I look,

81
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: like I said during the preseason, you forget about a

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: guy like Bobby Wagan. He's the best linebacker in the league.

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: So and then kJ Wright also, you know, don't count

84
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: him out. I mean, you saw the game that he

85
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: had against the Cowboys last year coming off an injury,

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: and I know it was a frustrating year for kJ

87
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: but still one of the better linebackers, and that certainly

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: is the best linebacker group in the NFL when you

89
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: take a look at that list. The two guys that

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: stand out to me that really felt like they earned

91
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: a position on this team during the preseason Austin Calitro

92
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: and the former Husky Ben Burkurvin. Burkurvin, I was so

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: happy for him last Thursday night because you know, he's

94
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: been flying around the field and doing everything right. He's

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: really smart, but you know he just things weren't going

96
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: his way. But you see him making plays all over

97
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: the place, and he's fast boy, and you know he's

98
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: got great leverage. Not a big guy, but I think

99
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: that works to his advantage. So really nice to see

100
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: him finally be rewarded for all the good things. You know,

101
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: sometimes you do things right as a player. You know,

102
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: you get in the right gap, you make the right,

103
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: checks all that, but then the place don't come your way. Well,

104
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: it was like he struck oil Thursday night, so really

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: awesome to see. And that's what we saw, you dubbed

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy six tackles. This is the hero

107
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: of the preseason right here, Austin Coletro. I don't think

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: many people gave him a chance to make this roster

109
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: with Cody Barton being drafted, and you know, you got

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: Bobby kJ and Michael Kendricks of course, but Austin Coletro

111
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: is a starter in this league. And that's the one

112
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: thing that's maybe disappointing for him is he's gonna have

113
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: a hard time getting on the field with that group

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: in front of him. But this guy has made himself

115
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: into a pro. And you know, I always tell the story.

116
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: I think you've heard it probably twelve times from me.

117
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: He followed kJ around last year even during like radio interviews,

118
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: just how to be a pro. And he's studied and

119
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: you can see, like I said, I believe that he

120
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 1: could start on almost any team in the NFL. Fourteen times,

121
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: but the story never gets old. Now it's fifteen. There

122
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: you go, and now you've hopefully heard it for at

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: least the first time again, Still fluid situation, likely a

124
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: few more moves between now and Sunday. We're going to

125
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: continue to break down the roster that's coming up. Plus

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: we've got quarterbacks coaching. Dave Canalis miked up two. Anytime

127
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: you get cougar, you gotta look for one to shoot

128
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: off the top. Let's go, baby. It only takes one

129
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: play to score. Cougar on the next one, Cougar on

130
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: the next one. One, they're six on side kick on

131
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: side kick,
