Brock and Salk

Geno Smith is the 3rd best QB in the league right now. How is this happening after all this time? And what stopped him from being held back if this is for real? Monday Morning Quarterback's Albert Breer addresses the Seahawks rookie class, if Geno is as an elite QB, is there any Offensive or Defensive Rookies of the Year on this team and a feeling of the changing of the guard in the NFL.

Salk heard Pete say two things that jumped out: proving people wrong, and for the first time in many years everybody is aligned in what they want to accomplish. The second thing Pete mentioned was that Geno is one of the top quarterbacks in the league right now and he has the numbers to back it up. Salk asked Mariners fans what they're most interested in discussing this offseason and the best answer is how do they close the gap with the Astros. Brock's 'Blue 88' covers the Giants 'power' run attack, the best and worst of Geno’s numbers and splits and what changed in draft process?

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?
