Salk can't quite put his finger on the personality of the Seahawks. Obviously, the 2012-14 teams were so brash and cocky, then Russ tried to make them neutral and offense-based. What is this team? We asks fans to text in their own thoughts on what it could be and responses range from Hungry & Feisty, but Brock doesn't love the answer Salk gives as his answer. Brock & Salk share their own Takeaways from the Hawks/Chargers game and Salk has sharp criticism for one player.

That was the first true “statement game” the Seahawks have played in a long time by going on the road and beating a high quality opponent with real weapons, and they did it fairly handily and they definitely did it decisively. Salk says they just put the league on notice and gives a few reasons why. Salk's new expectation is that they should be relevant in every game and gain respect. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers why he was so high on Kenneth Walker III before the draft, one thing that’s not getting enough play when it comes to Geno and why is Kalen DeBoer the QB Whisperer?

Now that the NFL season is 1/3 of the way through - what should we be looking for and expecting out of the Seahawks who find themselves at 3-3. Can they be a playoff team? Salk thinks the offense looks playoff worthy but he just need to see 2-minute success before he's able to commit to a playoff prediction. Salk, Maura and Justin share their biggest Mariners memories from 2022 and Brady Henderson (in for Brock Huard) answers 3 football questions in 'Blue 88.'

The weather is changing and Salk is salty about it, but not nearly as confounded as he is by the San Francisco 49ers giving away more of their future for a RB who Salk doesn't seem to believe is truly the piece they needed. We revisit yesterday's explosive Jerry Dipoto Show to hear his thoughts on the way the 2022 season finished, what the heck is going on with Jesse Winker and Ty France, plus how they'll look at adding bats - will it be at SS? Or in a corner OF position?
