Brock and Salk

Brock asked - what if 5 years ago Schneider would have traded Russ and got a Top 5 pick to take Josh Allen? What if they went young instead of paying Bennett, Marshawn and Bobby their second (and third) contracts? Ultimately, have Bobby and Russ made Seahawk fans re-think the calculus of holding on to players too long and the benefit that can be gained if you love them early? Mariners President of Baseball Ops Jerry Dipoto joins Brock & Salk for his weekly conversation to break down where the M's stand this offseason and what we can expect moving forward.

Salk reacts to KJ's comment about drafting Bryce Young at #2 if you have it, but Salk feels more and more confident that they should go with one of the DL’s. Salk doesn't want to worry about the "Same Old Mariners" crowd, but the responses to his tweet last night shows they're very much still alive leading Salk to ask: is Jerry telling the truth about being a DDT organization or is that a PR spin to cover for not spending? Brock's 'Blue 88' answers why the Hawks picked up former 1st Rounder Jonathan Abram, who is the best match up in LA Sunday for SEA, and why was Matt Miller’s draft value of Michael Penix so different than others?

Salk starts the show with a little bit of soccer discourse and a discussion about seeing former Seahawk (and future Hall of Famer) Bobby Wagner in a different jersey and number against the Seahawks. Salk still believes it's only a matter of time before the bridges are mended between him and the Seahawks, but wonders if he's miserable in LA with the collapse that they've experienced this season. We revisit some of yesterday's KJ Wright show to hear his thoughts on the future of Russell.

Brock and Salk continue discussing KJ Wright's thoughts from the previous hour that the Broncos should sit Russ the rest of the year. Then, John Forslund joins the show to discuss the Kraken's high scoring overtime battle with the Kings, Matty Benier's development and why the chemistry on the team is much better this year. Plus, it's time for another edition of Ranked.

KJ Wright shares his thoughts on the lack of pass rush against Derek Carr and how Josh Jacobs had such a big day because of their focus on Davante Adams. KJ shares why he thinks the fullback position is needed in the NFL and what he wants to see the Seahawks do with a Top 3 pick next year before sharing his thoughts on why the Broncos season is a wash and how they should sit Russell to focus on next year.

Where are the Seahawks with Kenneth Walker, DK Metcalf, Boye Mafe, Darrell Taylor and Jordyn Brooks? Brock shares his thoughts on their status before being joined by NFL Draft Analyst Matt Miller to discuss the upcoming stars & potential Seahawks targets in the 2023 class. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: why was Ryan Fitzpatrick so impressed with Geno Smith, how can K9 get loose vs Rams Sunday and how has Bobby Wagner played in LA?

The Kraken and Kings took us on a wild ride last night in Seattle's 9-8 OT win for their 6th straight and 11 of 13. It wasn't great hockey but it was pretty fun to watch. Salk talks about what he's seen from the first line and how physicality has helped spark them. The Seahawks have 3 players leading NFC Pro Bowl voting at their positions in Geno Smith, Tariq Woolen, and Jordyn Brooks, and we learn Sean McVay is uncertain who will start at QB for Rams vs the Seahawks on Sunday. We revisit the conversation with Brandon Stokley from yesterday.

Brock & Salk play some "Buy or Sell" and answer if they think Russell Wilson will finish the the season as a starter, if Michael Penix Jr will return for a final season and if Tua Tagovailoa will be the NFL MVP. Salk plays a clip of Jeff Bagwell discussing how analytics have affected baseball and calls it the "smartest and dumbest" thing he's heard. Ranked: Top 5 Max's.

Things have gone from bad to worse in Denver and Brock & Salk ask if there's ever been an example of a HOF career player fall so fast like Russell Wilson. The audio we've been playing all morning comes from our sister station in Denver so we ask midday host, former Bronco, Colt (and Seahawk!) Brandon Stokley to explain what they've been seeing and feeling with the "lemon" that Seahawks sold Denver. This leads to more conversation surrounding a future draft pick and if Donovan McNabb is the nearest example of a career fall like we're seeing with Russ.

This if the first time Salk has true jealousy and envy for Brock when he was invited to go down to Tampa to hang out with JT, Jordan Speith, and Tiger Woods. Brock hears the audio re: trouble in Denver and asks if this one of the worst trades in the history of the NFL? Salk asks Brock - how much of UW's success this year is due to Michael Penix or Kalen DeBoer? Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: What is Pete Carrolls assessment of their offensive line, are safety's very interchangeable these days, and is Michael Penix Jr a real candidate for Heisman?
