Brock and Salk

Justin Hollander spoke with Mike Lefko and Joe Fann yesterday about being active in trades and free agency this offseason, so do we think there are some moves coming soon? Jon Morosi brought up a potential Teoscar Hernandez for Flexen trade on MLB Network which pretty much everybody agrees would be a great move. Former Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck's name was brought up by Trent Dilfer recently when describing Geno Smith's 2nd chance, so we ask Matt himself about the "lonely work" and how he capitalized on his opportunity.

Salk starts the show with a big congratulations to AL Rookie of the Year Julio Rodriguez of the Seattle Mariners who won almost unanimously with 29 votes. With the amount of time Seahawks fans have had to rate, grade and consider Geno Smith as the QB of the future... do you really want to extend him? If so, for how long? Salk opens the phones to hear what Seahawks fans to answer the question: is this the start of the Geno Smith era? Most of the answers are yes, but disagree on for how long.

Salk says that was a bad showing by the Seahawks but it does not invalidate the last month. Brock says a 4-5 team that hadn't been playing well woke up and played a more physical brand of football than we've seen from them and the Seahawks weren't ready for it, but Salk asks if this the start of the Geno Smith era? Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: what advantages did Tampa maximize in Germany? What page did Brady pull out of the Belichick playbook? And what happened in Eugene?!

Getting up that early to watch football was painful and so was most of the Seahawks performance, but Salk says this isn't reason to panic. The Broncos also lost and the beat up AZ Cardinals take down the beat-up LA Rams, but both WSU and UW got huge wins to make the Apple Cup interesting. Salk is upset about the ending of the Kraken game and says Soucy broke the biggest hockey rule. We revisit the Pete Carroll post-game press conference before Salk admits to being perplexed by John Denver's "sudden" popularity.
