This is the Sea Hawkers podcast.

I'm your host, Brandon Schultz, and I am joined by my good buddy, Adam Emmert,

on 53-man initial roster day.

Not necessarily the final, but, you know, we can talk about it still

because there were some interesting choices, I suppose you could say.

There's also a lot of choices that make a lot of sense.

So why don't we get into it, Adam?

An exciting day because it means we're one step closer to real football.

That always excites me a great deal.

And like you mentioned, it is the initial 53 man roster. There's a good chance that this changes a bit even over the next couple of weeks. So we'll see. But cool discussions to be had about a lot of different things. Really excited for some guys. A sad day for some other guys. So, you know, some mixed emotions, but overall, I've jacked up to talk about it, man.

Yeah, I know there are a lot of players that were cut and that we wanted to see ultimately on the roster.

But those are players that could potentially be on the practice squad.

I'm even seeing some of those names in the chat already as we are live out on YouTube,

YouTube.com slash CHawkers podcast,

and I see our live executive producer, R. Ryan, 911, with the 99-sup9-chat.

Go Hawks, Ryan.

Appreciate it.

Unbelievably much, as always. And yeah, Brandon, let's get into it. Where do you want to start? Do you want to start offense, defense? Because I just got to think we'd go by a position group, yeah? Sure. Well, we can start with the offense because that's what Seahawks.com has up on the top. And why don't they put all the wide receivers together? Why do they have to line it up as if it's an actual offense and have one wide receiver on one side of the line and two of the other wide receivers on the other side of the line? This is not, uh, it would make more sense just to group them all together, but here we go. D.K. Metcalfe among the finals, no surprise there, along with Tyler Lackett, Jackson Smith, and Jigba.

We've got Jake Bobo, Leviska, Chenault, and wide receiver number six, Dereak Young.

Look at this list, and I go, yep, that makes all the sense of the world to me.

Totally fine with it.

I understand that esop winson
