Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Hockblogger Mornings. I'm Brian

Emhouser. It is good to be back with you all after a little hiatus yesterday. We've got a,

it's called extended school year for my son, summer school to some, but extended school year for

him. And schedules, trying to get

everything figured out, did not end up getting into an episode yesterday. One thing I will always

promise you is I will only do shows when I want to do the show. I will never feel obligated to do a show

and that might surprise you knowing how often I do these shows, but I do really enjoy it.

And I want to make sure every time I'm on here, it's because I want to be.

So yesterday just was not a good one to do it.

And excited to be back with you today as we continue our march through the NFC West of every single position group ranked from one to four, best to worst.

Today on the docket will be the safety room.

And this is an interesting one where I think there's a team I have in mind going into it that I expect to finish first that has not yet finished

first in a ranking. But I don't know. We'll find out what we see when we look at the data.

And I've had some fun conversations with folks in comments and online. Fun might be, you know,

subjective to some people here that, you know, people arguing about whether the running back room rankings I've had are good or bad,

arguing about whether the Seahawks edge room should be higher than third.

Someone, I think I was in a protracted discussion with somebody yesterday who was clearly a Cardinals fan who think it's an absolute joke that the running backs for the Seahawks were ranked first in my rankings.

Anyway, there was someone else when I was doing interior offensive line.

I think they said that I was focused too much on PFF grades.

All of it I listen to.

I enjoy the conversations.

It's all good back and forth about something that doesn't really matter in the end of the day.
