Brock and Salk

Barely any of us watched Thursday Night Football because of the World Series and Kraken vs. Wild game, but the conversation quickly turns into the Phillies uniforms. Salk goes on a mini-rant about how much he dislikes the Arizona Cardinals and the entire organization since he was a kid. We revisit The Jerry Dipoto Show from yesterday to learn more about what Jerry means about "developing" players from his Draft, Develop, Trade philosophy within the Mariners.

Salk is surprised that he found more common ground with Richard Sherman's latest comments about Russell in Denver, but Salk says the real shame is the Broncos have lucked into three wins because he wants a top five pick.

Salk starts the show with his angry fandom towards the "same old Mariners" fans and why he finds himself going between rooting for/against the Astros in the World Series. Maura and Justin still won't let him live it down. Yesterday's KJ Wright Show illuminated a lot about being a team player, putting egos aside, and Pete's competition for starting spots on the team regardless of what you've done in the past.

What is a reasonable expectation for the Seahawks to finish this year? Salk believes they can go 6-3 down the stretch to finish 11-6. Brock thinks 5-4 is more likely, but both have playoff hopes.

FOX Sports broadcaster Adam Amin will be on the Seahawks broadcast this Sunday and joins Brock & Salk to preview the game.

KJ Wright-Says he got chills watching the Seahawks play Sunday because they are reminding him of the way the team started to come together in his early years in Seattle. He is also impressed by the physicality and confidence on defensive side of the ball and admits that he always felt competition for his own job.

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. ESPN's Jeff Passan joins Brock & Salk and admits that some pitchers think Framber Valdez is cheating but others do not. Passan argues that McCullers wasn't tipping pitches but that maybe the Phillies just had a good gameplan. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: why we’re the Seahawks a non player in the trade market, what would this season look like if Drew were the QB and what jumped out with first CFB rankings of the season?

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? He's playing & acting like one and he's the 36th highest-paid QB in the league, and he doesn't come with the baggage and other negatives that come with a franchise QB.
