Furness Show 7-25: Laken Tomlinson, Hugh Millen, Corbin Smith.

The Ian Furness Show

Laken Tomlinson, Seahawks G sits down with Ian to talk about joining the Seahawks and what it'll be like to have Seattle energy on his side, as opposed to what he's experienced at Lumen Field so far. He also maintains his dedication to becoming a doctor and building a hospital in Jamaica. He also gives us an inside look at Coach Huff and what he expects from his unit. Hugh Millen is live out here at Seahawks training camp and tells us the differences he's seeing so far under Mike Macdonald. The atmosphere isn't that different from an observer perspective, but he's extremely impressed with the new defensive scheme he's seeing - and that's what Hugh sees as the biggest change. Finally, his take on what the Mariners need to do right now.
The difference between the Seahawks and the Mariners is that there is no complacency out here at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Nathan Bishop sent us some stats regarding Julio Rodriguez and Jesse Winker - and it makes us want to tear out our hair. The offense continues to be dismal and great pitching is still being wasted. What can we reasonably expect at the trade deadline? Ian wants to see them actually take a shot for once. The new kickoff rules are creating quite a lot of secrecy as we kick things off. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald spoke after practice yesterday and we take a listen to what he had to say at the beginning of his first Seattle training camp. Abe Lucas is still out Can what happens in the next five games change the future of the Mariners organization? Ian sees this next week is the most pivotal in franchise history? Corbin Smith, Locked on Seahawks joins Ian out at camp and it extremely impressed with Geno Smith's arm talent, and has been from the start. That was never in question, and he's clearly matured since his days in New York. From a comfort level, Corbin gives him 10/10. It also helps that he gets his entire receiving core back, which is extremely deep. Corbin gives Jake Bobo a 95% chance of making the roster and the guys discuss who might be on outside looking in. Of all the positions where we will see moves - whether it be through cuts or trades - corner will have the most talented players part ways.
