Speaker 1 (00:00):
And quite honestly, he doesn't have any limitations. So I
see this being a perfect marriage on the football field. Look,
any question that starts with players to me, Hannah, you
know how I am is really just about fitting about
personalities and whether or not people can really get on
with one another off the field, in the locker room,
in the classroom, on the practice field. And I don't
think there'll be any problems with that either. Like I said,
(00:20):
my comfort cam Ward because of the way he plays.
He reminds me of Patrick. He reminds me of Mahomes
with how he can be unconventional, throw the football from
all different kinds of weird angles and then just put
a bunch of horsepower on it when he needs to.
And look to me, if someone was telling me, Hey,
that's maybe what you're getting, I'd be pretty damn excited. Now,
I'm not saying I'm exactly right, but that's my bet
(00:42):
that cam Ward will have that kind of impact and
play that kind of style of football in Tennessee if
they happen to select him.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Number one.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
That was Lewis Riddick.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I am m Jaye The Midday Mark James here on
Seattle Sports Leader ninety three to three kJ RFM. Lewis,
I'm the president of the cam Wwoard Fan Club. I
believe the last time that you had the number one
overall pick in the draft was Russell Maryland back in
nineteen ninety one. We've had a lot of picks that
(01:13):
were close to one, a lot of picks in the
top ten, but number one overall you got to go
back thirty four years. So I am so proud I
got to cover Camwoard this past fall with the Hurricanes
and see him go from a fourth to fifth round
pick coming out of Pullman and Wazoo to the number
one overall selection in the draft next Thursday night, a
(01:38):
week from tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Oh boy, the draft is coming. I can't wait. And
I see what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I saw it too, And at times it's funny because listen, Lewis,
Ritick forgot more about football than I could ever know. Right,
I see those Mahomes like comparisons. I just don't want
to go there because when you do that, it even
you put him in the same stratosphere as Patrick Mahomes.
(02:09):
It's unfair to number one Patrick Mahomes and to cam Ward.
But all that being said. All that being.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Said, I like what you're saying. I love it. I
will four thirty.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Maybe, I don't know if next week, next Thursday a
four thirty, I'll be at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
But I'm gonna need a moment by myself when cam
Ward becomes the number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
No, I literally, because I'm gonna be screaming and hollering
and fist pumping and just like that's gonna be a
moment I might have tears of joy because cam Word,
for the first time in twenty four years, you made
the University of Miami quarterback position great again, made it
relevant again, you made it prominent again. And I love
(03:04):
him for that. Oh, I love cam Ward. I have
a bromance crush on this kid. That is it's not healthy.
It is not healthy. I love him so much and
I am rooting for him and I will be the
biggest cam Ord fan. Of course, they play the Seahawks
this season in Nashville. Except for that game, I hope
the Seahawks kick is ass that game. But except for
(03:26):
that game, I hope cam Ward goes sixteen and one
on the season. Just don't like comparing him to Mahomes.
I just don't. I think it's just sort of oh man,
I don't know. Oh by the way, here's a little
odds for you. You check this out because Vegas doesn't care.
(03:49):
Let me just give you this one little not to
get add here. You know the odds on winning the
series between the Warriors and Rockets. The Warriors are the
favorite minus one seventy five. If you take the Rockets
plus one fifty to win that series, that's great value.
If you like Houston, I think the Warriors are gonna
win that series. Though. All right, back to cam Ward,
(04:10):
he's a leader and I said this on the show
a couple of weeks ago. I want to take you
to a story that Michael Irvin told me at the
UFC pay per view in March down at the Cassea
Center in Miami last year. Michael Irvin said, because he
texts and talks to cam Ward all the time, and uh,
(04:31):
there was a receiver on Miami coming back for last season.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Cam Ward's like, where are you at.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
He's like, hey, dog, I'm catching passes from Lamar Jackson
in Fort Lauderdale. Cam cam said what He's like, Yeah,
He's like what do you mean. He's like, I'm catching
pass from Lamar Jackson goes, listen, you ain't catching passes
from Lamar Jackson. And if you don't get your bleeping
ass down here, you ain't gonna be catching passes from
(04:58):
me this fall. So get your f I've been asked
down here now. And he hung up the phone. That's
cam Ward. And by the way, the receiver capitulated that request.
He said, Lamar, sorry, I gotta go catch passes from
the guy who's actually gonna be throwing them to me
this fall, my quarterback, cam Ward. That's a leader of men.
(05:21):
He is awesome. I think he's gonna be a perennial
Pro Bowl quarterback in the NFL. Tennessee's got to obviously
put weapons around him. They don't have the greatest weapons anymore.
Dereck Henry's no longer there. AJ Brown's no longer there.
They don't have a lot of but protect him on
the line and let Cam do his thing. There's a
(05:41):
reason why Tennessee has the number one pick. They didn't
trade for the number one pick. They had the worst
record in the league. So they absolutely blow. They absolutely suck,
and that's why Cam Ward is going to them. He's
not going to the forty nine Ers. Well they sucked
last year too, But he's not going to the Rams.
He's not going to the Commanders, the Chiefs, the Eagles,
(06:05):
He's not. He's going to the Titans for a reason,
period just don't know it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
And I like Lewis Riddick.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
By the way, Lewis Riddick had some more things to
say about his effusid praise for number one, and I
wonder if he's.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Gonna wear number one in Tennessee cam Ward.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And I'll tell you this, if I was the president
of the cam Ward Fan Club, Lewis Riddick might be
my VP because he is all that and then some
all put everything in and is putting all his chips
on the table of loving cam Ward and what he's
going to bring in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
But I will say this about cam warden, I have
no issue about what he did.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
In the Bowl game.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Really no, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't. I don't because you know what, look this
guy think about cam story from his start at Incarnate
Ward as a zero star recruit zero stars zero, goes
to Washington State, rips it up at Washington State, and
decides to transfer to Miami because he knew he needed
to up his resume in terms of winning, in terms
(07:18):
of being able to win it at the highest level,
because that's what we always judge quarterbacks by. I got
to talk to this guy now three different times. Got
to talk to him at Washington State up there in Pullman,
got to talk to him down in Tampa when they
played South Florida this year. We did that game and
got to talk to him again before they played Georgia.
Tech asked Mario Cristobal about the kind of leader that
this guy is and what he did to Miami football
in the offseason from the time he decided to transfer
(07:39):
from Washington State to the time they stepped on the
football field. He took over this program. They said, like
no one he has ever seen it. And Mario has
played with some great players, some of the greatest of
all time. At the you this guy is the ultimate
consummate leader. He plays with a gigantic sized boulder on
his shoulder. It's not a chip, it's a bowlder. He
is very confident in the work that he has put in,
and he should be because he's smart. He is supremely talented,
(08:02):
and he's deadly serious about the game, and he feels
as though even at this point in time, people still
don't really believe that he's as good as he is.
And he can play. He directed that passing attack down
there at Miami this year with the kind of precision
and kind of maturity that is worthy of being considered
a number one overall pick. It just is and when
he gets to the NFL level, he will be the
(08:24):
guy who What is the first thing that people said
about Jayden Daniels when he went to Washington They were surprised,
well not surprised that everyone was oppressed, impressed about the
fact that he was there at five am every day
and he's the last guy to leave, and that's not
just for show, it's because that's part of his process.
It's the same thing with cam Ward and he will
have that same kind of effect. He may not be
warm and fuzzy to everybody, because this dude is assassin
(08:46):
serious about his craft, and I believe him when he
says he's gonna try and make everybody pay, and I
don't think that's just hyper belief.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
All right, So there you go. Lewis Riddicks all in
on cam Ward. I am as well, you know, but
Mahomes comparisons it makes me a little uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
But you know what, I bet you Cam would love it.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Because you know, obviously Mahomes is the best in the world,
and Cam wants to be the best in the world.
He had talked about when he got to Miami, about
Tom Brady and him wanting to you know, look at
how Tom Brady went about zero stars. That's a true
story zero star.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I never even heard of incarnate word until I found
out that's where he started his career. What the f
is incarnate word? I guess it's down in Texas somewhere, never.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Even heard of it.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Goes to Wazoo, plays a couple of seasons there. That's
some success. Moderate you know. It was a fourth or
fifth round pick, comes to Miami. Miami gets him for
a song one point five million dollars. Could you imagine
if cam Ward came back for another year. Carson Beck
just got four million plus six million dollars in endorsements.
Could you imagine the money cam Ward would have gotten
(09:54):
if he had an extra year of eligibility at Miami.
Probably would have gotten sixteen million dollars to come back
for another year, so that is where it stands now.
Derek Klassen from The Athletic wrote that obviously Tennessee cambored.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
We all know that the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And after Derek Carr and everything, and it looks like
his career is It looked like it was almost over anyway,
but now he's hurt, so it looks like he might
not even play In twenty twenty five. Kellen Moore's the
new coach. The new coach wants a new quarterback, and
I think she do her Sanders. I would be highly
surprised if he's not taken by the Saints at number nine,
(10:35):
and Classen writes finding Sanders' best fit was trickier than
I anticipated. Kevin Stefanski's downfield play action offense in Cleveland
is not ideal. Brian dables quicker passing attack in New
York might make sense, but that offensive line is a sieve,
and Sanders is not athletic enough to tap into some
of the best parts of Dable's playbook. The idea of
(10:57):
Sanders being Kellen Moore's first crack at a quarterback is
in intriguing, though Sanders is at his best operating spread
passing concepts, especially in the underneath area. He's a reliable
short area passer who uses the intermediate and deeper areas
of the field to keep defenses honest rather than making
those his preferred areas of attack. That's perfectly fine for
(11:19):
a West Coast inspired offense. Of course, falling to ninth
is no guarantee. The brownser Giants may feel the itch
of desperation and draft Sanders in the top three. If
Sanders does slide a little bit, however, it wouldn't be
a shock to see the Saints stop that fall and quote,
do we have a drum roll for this next one?
(11:40):
You're not gonna believe this, folks. I bury delete on this.
Derek Lassen from the Athletic Rites, Jackson Dart, Seattle Seahawks.
It would be quote, it would be stunning if the
Seahawks left the first two days of the draft without
(12:02):
a quarterback. The deal Sam Darnold sign in March is
effectively a one year contract with team options from then
on out. If that doesn't scream a developmental quarterback is coming,
I don't know what does. Seattle could go a few directions,
but Dart makes sense. For their new offense under Clint
Kubiak and vice versa. Dart reminds me a lot of
(12:24):
Jimmy Garoppolo as a passer.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
I'm editorializing there. He didn't put that in there.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
The two are quite similar and build arm, talent and
ability on throws over the middle of the field. A
majority of Dart's best throws on film are slants, short posts,
and crossers. The same was true of Garoppolo at his
best in San Francisco. Neither Dart nor Garoppolo is a
quarterback you want reading out a full progression very often.
(12:52):
That doesn't sound so good In theory. That was a
me editorializing there, not Derrek Classen. Back to Derek Klassen.
In theory, offense plays into all of that. It's built
off the run game, which is then parlayed into a
strong play action attack no One. Not only does that
simplify reads for the quarterback, it also demands the quarterback
(13:15):
often make tight throws over the middle of the field,
which is where Dart shines. With a year on the
bench to learn the pace of the league, maybe Dark
can make it work with the Seahawks. End quote Derek Klassen.
The athletic. I had thought about this a few weeks ago,
and then I talked myself out of it. I did
(13:37):
because I see the pros on Dart, but I also
see that ledger on the right, which are the cons?
And I think the pros outweigh the cons. I know
they do, but not enough to take him at eighteen. Now,
if he's there in the second round, which I know
he won't be at number fifty, oh Jesus. Matter of fact,
(13:58):
if he's there at thirty eight and the Seahawks had
a chance to I would take him at fifty in
a heartbeat.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
He won't be there. That to me would be one
of the biggest holy Ish moments of the draft. If
the Seahawks take Jackson Dart at eighteen, that would be
like uh oh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And then I if I was Sam Darnald, I would
say better rent, you, better rent you, better rent and
renting because I wouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
By the house anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, I'd be renting in renting if I was Sam Donald.
If they take Jackson Dart with the eighteenth pick in
the draft, I don't know about that one, folks. Yeah,
that would be unbelievable to me. That would be incredible,
And I'm not saying it would be bad. I'm just
(14:54):
saying that I don't think it's something the Seahawks need
to take right now. I don't think they're in a position.
Would it be the worst pick in the world. No,
But again, it feels a lot like if you took
a receiver, except for the kid out his Arizona to Tarra,
to to Tarole, whatever the hell his name is. T McMillan,
(15:18):
I'll call him tedaroa McMillan. If he drops to eighteen,
I'm interested. Bolden, excuse me, Burden, Luther Burden, Matthew Golden. No,
I'm not going for a receiver. I think that's a
luxury pick at eighteen. But uh oh uh oh, that
(15:39):
could be the biggest Pedro Martinez nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Curveball of the draft. Off to see.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That would be somewhat equivalent to the Falcons taking Michael
Pennix after already giving Kirk Cousins all that.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Money last year.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Now would be at eighteen and not at eight like
the Falcons was ten picks later. But still that would
be a shocker, to say the least.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What do you say?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Text of the day coming up next four nine four
five one. The tweets were great today at Mark James
m A R C.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
James.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I'm gonna read the tweet of the day out today
I think is the gentleman's name was Mike Seely.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Who.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Well, I'll just save that for the other side and
we'll get to so much more four nine four five one.
Coming up next on the what do you say Text
the day on MJ in the Midday Sports Radio ninety
three to three kJ r F M All right, what
do you say Text of the day four nine four
five one.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Okay, let's go with this from Keith two five three.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Mark, got that juice that brings out the hater, stay hydrated,
my brother, lots of hater raid for the two oh
six Chat army.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, I'm trying to Keith, I'm srying to.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
This one comes from our guy Marcus out of the
two oh six. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but wide receiver
might be my biggest concern right now. Seahawks have JSN
and Old Many and Cooper Cup coming off three straight
injury seasons, if not, if I'm not mistaken, and a
guy that couldn't catch passes from mahomes An MVS you have.
(17:26):
I can understand your concern right now, But if the
big if, you're just hoping that Cooper Cup can stay healthy,
because when he is healthy, he's gonna be a problem
for defense to try to figure out what he's gonna
do because he can line up anywhere as well as JSN,
so they have the talent to do it. It's just
the what if scenario, and you can only bank on
what we've seen in the past. And hopefully he's bounced
(17:47):
back and he's gonna be healthy. I mean, he's talked
about it. He doesn't go into the season things is
gonna get hurt. He thinks in the best position, best physical,
physical condition he's been in. So let's just hope that
he can stay healthy for a seventeen game season.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
From the two Keith Law is wrong about Julio. Julio's
not a superstar besides his contract.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Okay, this is from the two oh six Chris and
Birien Mark once again.
Speaker 6 (18:14):
Welcome to Seattle Sports.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Specifically, welcome to a full season of Mariners baseball hashtag
siur prophets Rise. This is a ninety ten team. Ninety
percent of the time they swing and miss ten percent contact,
ninety percent of that contact crap. Ten percent of that
contact results in a hit. When they visit a band
box like the Natty, they will swing for the fences
(18:37):
one hundred percent of the time and miss ninety five
percent of time.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
It's just who they are. Nothing will change, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I hope Julio is not the next Griffy or Intro
because they were simply good baseball players, great baseball players
who never propelled their team passed the winning season into
the playoffs other than one season.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
For each from the two five to three Wow.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Okay, right from a two five three as well? Hypothetically speaking,
would you trade Julio, Raleigh and Gilbert for sure?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Hey, well, it's not whether I would. The Dodgers wouldn't.
Andrew Friedman would never do that deal. Are you kidding me?
There's no way they would ever do that. So what
do you say again, Julio, cal and Gilbert? Well maybe
they would consider that, getting Gilbert Gilbert you getting the
ace you're getting. I still don't think the Dodgers would
(19:28):
do that, but it would take it would take that
hall to get Otani. By the way, is there a
better place than Seattle for Otani should be a Mariner, right,
we have the number one you know, hot uh highest
populated Asian community.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That would be the greatest.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Have showing Otani here. Seriously, he belongs in Seattle, man. Oh,
I would love to see that. I would love to
I know everybody. Oh God, you kidding me? He would
sell out every game. It would be unbelievable. But yeah,
never gonna happen. It just is what it is. What
else we got here? So I did your basketball parlay
(20:09):
yesterday from the two oh six, but instead of money
line or all the points, I did a teaser bet
on the three things. I had the Magic minus one
and the Warriors minus two and a half and over
twenty two twenty three and a half. So didn't pay
as much as doing all the points and stuff. But
Golden State didn't cover anyway, but it paid.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
More than a money line bet.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
No, you should have stuck with the money line. I
didn't have them covering anything. I just say they're gonna
win the game. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
From the four to two five, Julio may have a good
war stat but he loses at the plate.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Go ahead and repeat that one again. Christopher Kidd, please
thank you. Four to two five.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Julio may have a good war but warstat but loses
constant battles out the plate.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Bingo, Mike Drop, Mike Drop. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh, speaking of Mike Drop, So let me give one
from Twitter today, the tweet of the day. Mike Sealley
m d seely's his hand. I'll love to see someone
have the balls to light in a Julio at Mark James.
My dad likes to refer to Julio as the Latino
Mike Cameron. The shoe almost fits, except for Cameron being
a better defensive center fielder. Oh yeah, yeah, it's fitting
(21:17):
that way so far. Yeah, good grief. You and Lewis Riddick.
Ward will be mediocre at best in the NFL, and
I have my doubts he's even that good.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
From the two five three.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
All right, it's okay, it's all right. We'll see. Well, well,
we'll just wait and see. Like the ultimate judge during
execution is.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Sundays. We'll find out then.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
From the four two five Seahawks right now have a
bottom third receiving cores in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
That's insane.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I could probably give you three teams off the top
that are far worse than the Seahawks.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
The Patriots you probably came in.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Tell me who those receivers are, if I'm not mistaken,
it's the Mario Douglas and I think his last name
is boot Bo.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
You from from my and then they got to the
dude from uh here from what you dubb born?
Speaker 4 (22:09):
No, no, excuse me, So that's not a good one
for sure.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
The Panthers they just have Adam Thielen and after that
it's okay nothing. The Jags who they paid all that
money to what's his name and he's no longer there.
Oh my gosh, Christian Kirk. They gave him the bag.
He didn't pan out. So those are just teams I
just named you off the dome. The Seahawks are not
in that realm. Let's not listen. I know you're not
a fan of probably the acquisition after getting rid of DK,
(22:37):
but they are not as bad as you're making it.
I'll be I'll put I'll be honest with you. And
also the Raiders, they don't have a receiver. I think
they have the Kobe Myers and a tight end.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
He was brock Bauers, who's basically a glorified. He's kind
of verse, I know, but receivers is just to Kobe Myers.
I don't think Trey Tucker is anything to scream about.
So let's let's let's let's load down here.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
I know you're probably not happy about what happened, but
they're fine.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
How about this one. You gotta check people's facts on
certain things from the two oh six. Why didn't you
say who the number two overall pick was in nineteen
ninety two out of Miami, Good old Gino Toretta. We
used his autograph many helmet as our SACKO word. Hey, hey, uh, misinformed.
Gino Toretta was not the number two overall pick in
(23:25):
the draft, sweetheart. He was actually the one hundred and
ninety second pick in the draft by the Minnesota Vikings
in the seventh round. The number two pick in the
draft in nineteen ninety two was Quentin Coriott out of
Texas A and M. So you really thought Gino Toretta
was a number two pick in the draft. It was
(23:46):
just a guy who was surrounded by unbelievable talent. He
led Miami to a national title. He was a number
two overall pick in the draft. Dude, if you're gonna
text into the show, I wish I could read your
number so everybody could basically blow your phone up. But
I won't do that. And plus, like I get in
trouble doing that. If you're gonna text into the show,
get your f in fact straight. One hundred and ninety
(24:09):
second pick seventh round. Not the second overall pick behind
Steve MPMan from Washington. Jesus, Yeah, he was the second
overall pick.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Oh my, you know it's weird, Chris when people come
at you and they try to like stunt and they
think they're so right and they're absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
He was with He wasn't the third pick. He wasn't
the fourth pick.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
He wasn't he was the one hundred and ninety second
pick in the seventh round. Dude, check your freaking facts.
Oh my god, Oh that triggers me so much. Oh
I hope you're listening to By the way, I really do.
I love to reave your number on the air and
just let the the you know, the audience, just basically
blow your phone up.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
But I won't do that.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
From my guy, Keith Miller two five three Hawks lead
the league in white ride receivers. You know, Cooper, Jake
bobom am.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I missing someone?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh does that matter? Don't know what color skin they are.
I don't really who cares. I'll just care if they
can play. I don't care if they're purple, black, white.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
But he's not saying that, He's just pointing out we
have I.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Think there are other teams that have no, but.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
We have too. I don't know how many teams have too.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, Jake Bobo, do you really consider him a little like?
I didn't know he is.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
But I'm saying, yeah, so Cooper cut him?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Cardinals No? Oh, what about is a belt?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
No?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
I'm bugging Keith. You have me stumps here? I don't.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I don't know the pertinence of that text. But okay, fine,
then they do. I mean I think there are other teams,
but again, it all matters if you can play. At
the end of the day, can you play. Oh, you
can Buystellar Braids, Maui Munket Safeway?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Which safe way? Please? Please? Which safe way? Let me know?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Uh? From the four two five? Ramsey's not worth the money. Washed,
thank you, thank you. I've got media members down there
in South Florida told me that he's nowhere near the
cover corner it used to be, and he.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Should probably convert to safety sooner than later.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Ah, bottom third, not okay, third, worse? Okay, fair enough?
Ten or eleven? You're accurate on that. I'm from the
four two five correction. There he means bottom third in
the league like who regarding to duals and receivers for
bottom receivers, yes, bottom third, he's mean wide receivers are
white received wide receivers. I read the text that he
(26:35):
was saying bottom three.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I thought he was talking like there'll be twenty seventh.
He was making the average like, hey, between ten or eleven,
not twenty seventh.
Speaker 6 (26:43):
Overall, Yep, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
How about this one, oh Taani?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Biggest freak since bo Jackson, MJ in the midday, best
pickup since Mitch in the morning.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Just not as good.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Hey, hey, listen you comparing to mitche lev That is
a huge compliment to me, because mitche Levy I listened
to him for years and he was from the nominal.
So I take that as a huge compliment.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I treat it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I think Christopher Kidd will vouch that I treat producers
probably better than when I heard that Mitch did.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
But Mitchell's old school. It was old school.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
It was a hey, I you know those old school guys,
they you know they it was.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
A different time back then. I mean, it just is
what it is, you know. Like, so my apologies.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
I forgot about our guy River Craiykraft, go Koog's baby.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
He's on the roster. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Will he make the team? Yes?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, he'll make the team. All right,
he's solid.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, give me a place where you can find uh,
let me just say, give me a place where you
can find Stellar mini pretzel braids, MAUI monk, I need those.
I don't want I was gonna order them directly from Stellar.
But guess what they want to charge me for shipping?
Twenty bucks? Twenty bucks for shipping, Like whoa hold on
(27:56):
a second, you know, like twenty bucks for shipping.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Wait a second, here, what are we doing here?
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Uh? Chris, what do you have to say about Softy
calling you a little kid in yesterday's show?
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Did you know that?
Speaker 6 (28:06):
I have to find the context but saying it.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
You're young? You're young? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
If I could, that's right, I can't.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, let's let's see what else we got, Helen is
it's from the four two five? Is MJ renting? Hopefully
his KGr contract is a one year deal. It is
not so I am renting, but for now it is not. Though,
what else we got? Mark Couget, once a coog, always
(28:37):
a cook. I don't doubt Listen he is. But you
know he became the number one overall pick at Miami.
He was a fourth or fifth round pick coming out
of Pullman. Just saying, so there's that. Those are the
what he say text of the day. Looks to get
that sponsored, hopefully sooner than later. All Right, the mayor
coming up next. Uh, we will cross talk with ian An.
(29:00):
Don't go anywhere as we wrap it up on a
Tuesday here on MJ in the midday on ninety three
to three kJ RM. All right, the mayor of Maple
Valley in for an ass coming in.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I don't know if you heard this.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Did you hear the the a fu sid praise heaped
on by Lewis Ridick about cam Ord?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah? You did hear? Who he compared him to?
Speaker 5 (29:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Like you or someone you were on the broadcast.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Right, I'm not on the broadcast. Oh no, for Wazoo.
I thought you were for a lots than this, Jessamine
is that's right?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You never were. Oh I just assumed. I assumed that
you were all right.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
But you know enough, you've seen enough, and you saw
him at Wazoo and you saw him at Miami. The comparison. Again,
he didn't say he was going to be the next one.
He just said, there's mahomes like tendencies. Your thoughts on that.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Tennessee, Sure, okay, Yeah, he doesn't win games.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
We'll find out.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
He's got to be surrounded by you know, right, But
like watered down, ACC lost a couple of big games
they should that should have been a conference championship team.
And the defense is the worst in all of college football.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
But the worst, and Mahomes plays with bad defenses, not
as bad as he has he has.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Miami was so bad they do a twenty one.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
Which is weird because they got our linebacker from there
to Melogo whatever his name is. Yeah, they paid him
zillions of dollars and they were bad. But know I mean,
like he he it was Zoo. I'll just say this
the two there's two games that stick out that he
had a chance to really kind of cement himself and
was one of the u c l A. Well, you see,
it was just an absolute disaster, like just that's if
(30:46):
those numbers, that's just okay, that's just that's a bad game.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, bad game. Okay.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
He Oregon had a chance at home to you lead
him on a game winning drive, decent field position, first played,
bad read picked six game over just inexplicable, bad read
like inexplicable. And then Washington when they went to the
college football playoff, chance to win the game with a
first down and inexplicably he kind of he had this
(31:15):
weird kind of you know, like it was a like
a Reid option that he just kind of just mine
melted down the middle of the play. It's like, dude, what.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Are you doing?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
Like two games possibility that And then you look at
what they did wins and losses, you know, and it's
like I heard body, oh, you know, and they went
to Miami. Well super I mean, like, first of all,
he had to go somewhere. He did because he was
not going to be He wasn't better than the six
guys that got drafted in the first round a year ago,
and most draft guys say he's not better than those
(31:46):
six guys today. So it's just it's just the way
the quarterback now listen from all accounts, great kid. Yeah,
And and I don't know about the leadership stuff because
I never I never heard that at Wazoo.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Well I think he was a different player at Miami.
And listen part and part of it was too.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
He was the first. Remember with him. This is where
IM gonna give him a break. He was the first
in our state, both schools, the first real nil guy,
which is amazing because they went and got him from
Incarnate Word and the rumor was he was getting he
had a package. This is a laughable this is laughable.
Now laughable. Now, he got a package that was right
(32:25):
around six figures, like a little worth one hundred thousand
condominium Auburn Buick GMC gave him a car, their cougar
owned business down in Auburn. They gave him a truck
flu that they were gonna fly his parents into all
the games, you know, and all this kind of stuff.
And like the total package was like a little over
one hundred like that was the rumor, and people were like, wow,
this is it's an nil guy. So then your expectations
(32:47):
again take the number out today because it means nothing,
sure like that's that's there's guys that are long snappers
making one hundred ground right in the sec. But that
was the thing. It's like, okay, dude, you better, you
better be the Messiah. And coming out of a bunch
of really good quarterbacks under Mike Leach, you know it
just he never fulfilled that, and so it was kind
(33:09):
of I give him a break there because there was
probably pressure on him. There was probably more pressure with
a one hundred thousand dollars than there was with one
point five at Miami. Yeah, if that makes sense, you
know what you know. But let me just say now here.
He's a great kid, and I hope he has success.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Having gone and covered him this past year at Miami,
I saw him win games that Miami should not have won.
He led them Virginia Tech one of them on that
Friday night that should not have won that games. Blew
a twenty one nothing lead the defense, that's what I'm talking. So,
so it was Col game, Yeah, definitely that game.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
Cal game.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yeah, okay, so Ian the Cal game was spectaclic like,
like you blow a twenty one nothing lead, it's all
in the defense. And in Miami's three losses, cam won
at eight touchdown passes and zero interceptions.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Yeah, he was great even in the losses.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Yeah. I just I think with him, there was probably
a growth this year that we did. You know that
that that happened.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Well, there there's a guy who was Frank Broyle's assistant
Coach of the Year finalist, the offense coordinator. He could
have gone at some places and got a job named
Shannon Dawson. He's coming back to Miami this year at
Carson back. Shannon Dawson's offense where Taylor made well I know,
well we won't get to that, but Shannon Dawson's offense
was Taylor made for cam Ward. Yeah, and it helped him.
(34:26):
It helped them become the number one pick in the drive.
Better offensive coordinator probably helps too. I mean, he had
Eric Morris at Wazoo, who is just a dipstick, right,
you know, I think, you know, I think what cam
Ward might be the poster child for is that guys
do and can improve and you know, jumping out at
the first opportunity isn't always Yeah, it's not always the
(34:48):
best thing to do. I don't know, if I don't
know if you're a new quarterback in Miami is going
to make that step.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Because we'll see he got to be he got to
be healthy.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
You're you're also surround with the best talent in the
country and healthy or not? Did never look the part right, like,
never really looked the part at Georgia, Oh, Carson Becks, Well,
I did some deep I did some deep diving on that.
There's apparently that Mike Bobo not to be confused with
the Seahawks receiver Jake Bobo. Mike Bobo did not want
(35:18):
to streamline his offense to fit Carson Beck's strengths. Instead,
he wanted Carson Beck to completely change his game to
fit Mike Bobo's offense. If you look at his twenty
twenty three season with Brock Bowers and the guy at McConkie,
McConkey is amazing.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Mcconky, he was amazing in twenty twenty three when he
had them. And by the way, Georgia most drop passes
of any team in college football thirty six drop passes.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
This year.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
You're watching no and think doesn't have the arm strength,
doesn't have the the arm strength is there?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
The accuracy is just I just looked at him like, Eh,
we'll find out.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
Basically, I'm gonna say, if there's probably fifty quarterbacks in
the country, if we watched him on tape, go I'd
want that guy, that guy, that guy, that guy. Before
the fact, he's getting what did you say, four.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Mili four million from Miami and apparently six million in
endorsements separate from the four million, so ten million. Travis
Hunter came out and goes ten million. He goes, I'll
stay in school from another year. You give me ten million.
Man crazy money Ian crazy. And by the way, they
don't have to make the pros anymore. All they gotta
do is go to college. That's if you can make that. Yes,
(36:24):
it's what do you got coming up?
Speaker 5 (36:26):
We're gonna check in. I'm gonna I haven't done this
all year. I'm kind of excited about this. We'll put
a rap on the on the Cracking season. My two
analysts from the Crack and Hockey Network, Alison Luken and
Brett Festerling, are gonna join me. Firstime we fout him
on the radio together. Uh So we're gonna get the
TV band together on the radio at one twenty today.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
It fun.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Yeah, it'll be really fun. I'm excited about that. And
then the all time leading score or ultimately passer impact
twelve history. Luke Falk's gonna join us coming up in two.
He was at the Wazoo spring game. We'll talk to
him about that.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
We visited with a couple weeks ago about Sam Donald.
Will probably visit that. He back up Sam Donald with
the Jets as well, so we'll talk about that.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Too, all right.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Yeah, it's like to hear what he has to say.
Luke Falk was a really great quarterback. I do remember him,
all right. Stay tuned for the Mayor coming up next.
Thanks to Keith Law and Christopher Kidd. We will see
you tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel, right here
