1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Knowlto championship. That should always do the expectation.

3
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: All right, man at you go ahead, Welcome back to

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: the Richard Sherman Podcast. And I know, I know it's

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: happening pretty quick. Free agency crazy trades. Geno Smith traded

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: to Pete Carroll in the Las Vegas Raiders. It took

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: a second for me to digestice, trying to understand and

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: look at it from every angle and understand the logic

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: in this. I know that there's a a piece of

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks fan base that feels like, oh, we

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: can do so much better than Geno.

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't think you can. But especially

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: in this landscape.

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: Now, if you said, hey, we have an opportunity to

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: get one of the five quarterbacks in National Football League

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: and we got to get rid of Geno to get

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: the draft picked to go get them, I would be

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: able to understand. I'd be able to get behind that

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 1: and be able to say let's go. But the things

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, first off, I'm seeing the Minnesota Vikings want

21
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: to make things work with Sam Darnold. So it seems

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: like they want to they want him back, they want

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: to build around him. That's been that's been talked about,

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: that's been talked about internally. It's it's out there, and

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure he feels some kind of loyalty to the

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: team that took a chance on him, gave him the

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to start. He had an immense amount of success

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: under Kevin O'Connell with these weapons and Justin Jefferson and

29
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Addison in this run game. I don't I don't think

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna leave for something unknown. Now, maybe Seattle gives

31
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: him a crazy amount of money that he can't say

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: no to, But then again, that would leave me scratching

33
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: my head because you had Gino for less money and

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: you had more controls. You know, was the lowest paid

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: full time starter amongst veterans that aren't on a rookie deal.

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: So you're gonna pay Sam Darnold, who had really a

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: great season last year, to come in behind an offensive

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: line that has not been great, and I haven't seen

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: any moves to make it much better. You hope to

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: get better in the draft, you hope to get better

41
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: in free agency, but you see the Chicago Bears. That's

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: how you get your offensive line better. You make moves,

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: you go trade for all pro guard, you trade for

44
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: another good guard you hopefully draft to tackle, you know,

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: and you show you're gonna pay big money for a

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: center like you show, hey, we want to improve our

47
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: offensive line and give our young quarterback a chance. This

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't scream plan to me. This doesn't scream great plan. Now,

49
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: clearly more time in free agency, more time to let

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: things settle and see, hey, what's going on here? What's

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna happen with this? Because once we see what's gonna happen,

52
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: then we can we can evaluated more. But from right now,

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: from this perspective, you look out there and say, or

54
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks available that can come in and potentially start

55
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: right away, it's justin fields, can they do somethings as

56
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: crazy as bring back Russell Wilson? After you know how

57
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: that whole thing unraveled at the end. I maybe he's

58
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: open to it, maybe they're open to it. Is that

59
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: the answer? How much money would he command? And then

60
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: there's Sam Donald? And then there's the Sam Donald deal

61
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, I just don't know if if

62
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: first off, if he's really available, you know, if you

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: can get him away from Minnesota, And second off, you

64
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: would then pay Sam Donald more than you paying Geno

65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Smith would would count more against the cap, likely a

66
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: longer term deal, And I'm not sure he's better, And

67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I think that's a lateral move at And

68
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: what you lose is the mobility of Geno Smith when

69
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: he was under pressure and under the rest. Sometimes he's

70
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: standing there and deliver. I know he got a rough

71
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: season in terms of red zone interceptions. He did, he did.

72
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Everybody can agree with that. But unless there's somebody obviously better,

73
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: somebody who is clearly hitting shoulders above younger, you move forward.

74
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: But Sam Donald is a pocket passer with He's got

75
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: some mobility, but not as much as Geno even at

76
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: thirty five. And DK metcalf is looking for more money.

77
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: So now do you pay him or do you find

78
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: a trade partner and keep stacking draft picks.

79
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: But then you have lost two of your top three receivers.

80
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: You got a new offensive coordinator who's gonna try to

81
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: figure this thing out. You have a really talented defense,

82
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: But even then, with a really talented defense, if you're not,

83
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: if you don't can't put points on the board, you're

84
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: never gonna be bad enough to pick high enough to

85
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: get one of the top quarterbacks in the draft because

86
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: your defense is gonna play well, They're gonna keep you

87
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: in some games. You're gonna coordinate, you're gonna run the ball,

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna stand there, you're gonna score points. So you're

89
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: at a five hundred team. You were a ten win

90
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: team last season, and now are these moves gonna make

91
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: you a thirteen win team, a fourteen win team, a contender,

92
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: or are you gonna drop to not bad enough to

93
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: to be a top five team in terms of picking

94
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: in the top five of the draft, but not good

95
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: enough to be in the playoffs, Like, I'm not sure,

96
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: And it's the move back. Quarterback is really important. This

97
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: is a really, really, really important moment for Mike McDonald

98
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: and even John Snyder's tenure because I know you pivoted

99
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: well from Russell Wilson to Geno Smith. That was great,

100
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: that was marvelous. That hat tip to that Pete Carroll,

101
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: the staff, they were prepared for it. But you had

102
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Geno Smith in house, you had him, you knew what

103
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: you had and you knew what you're getting out of

104
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: him in this situation. I don't know, maybe they know

105
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: something I don't and clearly they do. They have to,

106
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: but right now I don't see a clear plan. And

107
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: if they don't know something, this is an insane move

108
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: to move off of somebody who's affordable, reliable, accurate, has

109
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: a rapport with your receivers, has a great love for

110
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: the city, you know, does a great job, does his job.

111
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.

112
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how this goes, because you don't

113
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: just deal quarterbacks like this, not in this league and

114
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: expect to have success immediately. And everybody's saying, hey, they're

115
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: gonna draft Jackson Dark if he's available. If he's available,

116
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: and some team doesn't jump Seattle when the spot they're in,

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: then maybe, But again he's an unknown when it comes

118
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: to this. Can he maneuver behind this offensive line? Are

119
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: they gonna use every draft pick and pay some guys

120
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: to improve this offensive line? Are there many guys out

121
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: there that could drastically improve this offensive line?

122
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think you got a good left

123
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: tackle on Charles Cross. I think Abe Lucas.

124
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, you know, it's shown he can be

125
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: he can be a really solid player in this league.

126
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: But outside of that.

127
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of question marks and guys

128
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: who have been up and down.

129
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

130
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: I think this is one of those situations where this

131
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: decision could have waited, like you wait until you know

132
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: more to make this decision.

133
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: Now.

134
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they have a handshake deal with Sam Darnold and

135
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: it's already it's already done, so they're doing this maybe.

136
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: But if that's not the case, WHOA, This is wild.

137

Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys as always for joining me. This
