Could the Mariners beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series? The Phillies only hit 8 more HRs than the Mariners, but they're making the Astros look normal and it's driving Salk nuts.

Coach Carroll's #1 philosophy has been about competition and Salk wonders if Pete had lost some of that over the years once established players had their starting role and no longer had to compete for it. Salk also asks if Geno Smith could be considered an elite QB based on his recent play?

If last week was a statement game for the Seahawks, this one proved that they are legit and they belong. Maybe they're not elite, but they are a team to be reckoned with and we should now hold them to a playoff expectation.

Brock's 'Blue 88' answers what flipped for the defense, how the biggest match-ups worked out & what does the new FOX/ESPN Big 12 deal mean for the Pac 12?

Impressive win by the Seahawks taking down the 6-1 Giants and Salk says so much credit goes to Geno Smith who looked excellent, but everybody had a big impact in the 27-13 win and the defensive showed up big by stopping a holding Saquon Barkley to a season-low 53 yards.
