Now tied atop the NFC West, Brock & Salk see a light at the end of the tunnel for the Seahawks if they maintain the "typical" brand of Seahawks football they saw in the Hawks win over the Cardinals. Did Pete Carroll have to put his foot down and end the Russell Wilson MVP train in order to get back to winning football? Brock has his eyes on 1 game on the Hawks' remaining schedule that he believes will determine whether the Hawks have a bye in the playoffs or not. Rumors circulating that the Tampa Bay Rays may want to move ace pitcher & former Shorecrest High School star Blake Snell, and the Mariners are a possible destination. Salk strongly believes that the Mariners will NOT trade one of their top prospects for him--and shouldn't deviate from the rebuild plan in order to land Snell. Blue 88 finishes off the episode with Brock's pleasant surprise watching the Washington Huskies dismantle the Arizona Wildcats, and what it could mean for their PAC12 Championship hopes.
