Furness Show 7-31: Laviska Shenault, Gregg Bell, Curtis Crabtree and Tim Booth.

The Ian Furness Show

Laviska Shenault, Seahawks WR sits down with Ian to talk about his path to football, why he gave up basketball and what he's making out of this opportunity with Seattle. Plus, he breaks down the new kickoff rules, as that's where he's most likely to contribute. There's a crowded wide receivers room this season and special teams will help sort out who makes the roster. The Mariners have played some pretty poor defensive teams this season and have taken advantage of it. We take a listen to what Jerry Dipoto had to say yesterday regarding the trade deadline, the moves they made, as well as Julio and JP's health. Ian applauds what they did at the deadline. What are your favorite moves the Mariners made at the deadline? The Olympics are underway and we discuss the best parts of the games. It takes a special love of the game to compete on that level, for the most part, when not being highly compensated. Gregg Bell pops by to tell us what he's seeing in the Seahawks 't-shirt' practice we're watching. Mike Macdonald gave a rundown on training camp so far as the team approaches preseason. He tells us what he's seen on both sides of the ball and where he sees growth to date. The Seahawks are in a different looking practice today, where players are working on the learning side of things. Curtis Crabtree and Tim Booth sit down for a little Seahawks round table to tell us what they're seeing out here at camp today. They discuss future projections for the NFL Hall of Fame, as there are going to be a large contingent of Seahawks to be voted on in the near future. The guys also discuss what Mike Macdonald's defense will look like in an ever-evolving league. Finally, who has staying power of all 90 guys out here?
