Brock and Salk

Yesterday was a very wild ride in the NFL with the amount of things that went wrong for the Seahawks in the first half of the day, but Salk is happy to eat crow over his comments from last week about how the Lions had "0.0% chance" to beat the Packers at home. Salk opens the phones for fans to answer the question: Why are the Seahawks in the playoffs?

While not happy about the way the NFL has scheduled the Seahawks games (and those that impact their draft chances) this weekend, Brock & Salk share their "Wants & Needs" ahead of Week 18's games. Gee Scott (Gee & Ursula, 97.3 KIRO) joins Brock & Salk in-studio to discuss Bobby Wagner's return and the adjacent distaste for Russell Wilson. Conversation shifts awkwardly into Aaron Rodgers and his new maybe-girlfriend.

Brock & Salk continue the discussion of the massive youth movement in Seattle and what it's like having a young leader on your team. Friend of the show & columnist Sheil Kapadia (The Ringer) joins Brock & Salk to discuss what he's learned about the NFL in 2023, what the next chapter is for Geno Smith and how the QB position has changed. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: can Tariq and K9 win their respective rookie of the year awards, what did 39 and 22 represent in the first matchup with the Rams, and what kind of year has Bobby Wagner had?

After the incredible night from Matty Beniers w/ the Kraken last night and Team Canada Captain Shane Wright scoring a goal & winning the World Junior Hockey championship, Salk brings up how Seattle's youth movement is real and how rare it is to have this kind of situation between Julio, Tariq/K9/Abe/Cross and the stars on the Kraken team. We revisit yesterday's conversation with Jerry Dipoto.

Bobby Wagner referenced playing your family and knowing what buttons to push when discussing facing the Seahawks this season. Brock has some memories of intense faceoffs with his family. Then, we discuss KJ Wright's comments with us yesterday that it's just human nature for guys to make business decisions in the last game if playoffs are out of the question. That could hurt the Seahawks with both the Lions and Chargers games this weekend. Plus, an extended version of Ranked.

Salk has one name that has been floating around since heard it yesterday from Jon Morosi on Wyman & Bob's show and thinks he could be a very good fit for the Mariners. The Jerry Dipoto Show returns for the first episode of 2023.

Brock & Salk note the differences between Russell Wilson's & Bobby Wagner's return trips to Seattle as a member of other teams and how the vibes/conversations are night and day. Our regularly Friday conversation with Joe Fann is moved up to this morning and covers more Mariners offseason talk. We get a positive update on the Buffalo Bills S Damar Hamlin situation in Cincinnati. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: who are the four QBs that are likely to dictate the NFL draft order from 2-5, how would you characterize Bobby’s mindset vs Seattle, and how big a difference is the 3rd vs 5th pick?

We learned last night that the conflict schedules have continued with the Seahawks with the Chargers and Broncos game potentially making things even worse for the Hawks due to the Bengals/Ravens game potentially making the Chargers/Broncos game meaningless and causing the Chargers to sit their starters. Naturally, Salk is pretty upset. We revisit some of yesterday's KJ Wright Show to hear his own frustrations with the schedule & Bobby Wagner's return.

We react to comments KJ Wright made in the previous hour about why the Packers Lions game being scheduled in the primetime slot is such an advantage. He says players worry more about getting out of the season without injury once they know there is no shot at the playoffs in the last game. Then, we discuss what a win on Sunday would accomplish for the Seahawks to round out this season and Justin and Salk bring you another edition of Ranked.
