Mike Salk

Salk starts by saying he finally agrees with something Bob Stelton said yesterday. Everybody is curious/anxious/excited to see what this year's Seahawks defense is going to actually look like after everything we've heard from the coaches. Stacy Rost joins Salk in-studio to discuss the new "Bump & Stacy" show starting Monday and then launch into a really good series of debates on a variety of Seahawks topics.

Salk isn't ready to start calling for people's jobs for the Mariners struggles, but something has to give and there's a few options/thoughts that Salk thinks would work best for this current team, starting with the DH position. Salk wants the M's to go after former Mariner (and current Washington National) Nelson Cruz. We missed 'Take the L' on Tuesday and get caught up w/ Phil Mickelson, Taylor Lewan, Joe Maddon and Salk himself.

Yesterday was a big one for the Seattle Sports community from the Sue Bird retirement news, Seattle being named as a host city for the FIFA World Cup and our own Michael Bumpus being named to the Seattle Sports 710 lineup w/ the announcement of the brand new "Bump & Stacy" show from 10a-2p. We revisit the Jerry Dipoto Show ahead of the sad news of the Mariners losing despite a great performance by George Kirby, but Mike Trout continues his Mariner-Killer streak by hitting 2 homeruns.

Seattle Sports analyst Michael Bumpus makes his second weekly appearance and Salk immediately asks him to rank the potential QB options and Bump explains how easy it is to make an argument for all of them, but ultimately thinks Jimmy G is his pick. Mariners GM & President of Baseball Ops Jerry Dipoto shares his feelings on the recent Mariners results and he faces the tough questions about the lineup struggles but also the positives he's seen from select players.

How real is competition in the NFL? The story about Washington Commanders QB Taylor Heinicke not being given a fair chance due to the amount of money being paid to  Carson Wentz. Salk explains the text argument he got into with Brady Henderson (ESPN) regarding Seahawks QB options before talking to Mariners broadcaster Aaron Goldsmith - does Goldy think Scott Servais deserves blame? Brock Huard joins the show to expand on the conversation about how long it would take for a new QB addition to be game-ready.

Another day of the Mariners scoring zero runs and leaving 10 runners on base, and Salk believes it's because of something Mark DeRosa (MLB Network) told him during an interview months ago -- the Mariners have a lot of "table setters," but don't have any "table clearers." We revisit the interview with ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan from yesterday to hear the different reason he gave for why the M's are struggling, and it varies greatly from Salk's theory.

Amanda Ruller is a participant in the NFL's Bill Walsh Diversity Program and will be the Seahawks assistant running backs coach through pre-season. Salk talks with her about her journey to get here, the influence her dad on her decision to make football her career path and her thoughts on the Seahawks running backs. Then, Brock Huard joins the show to discuss how long it would take for a new QB addition to be game-ready. Plus, Salk was inspired by the M's opponent for today's edition of Ranked.

Logan Gilbert joins Salk to discuss his dominant performance last night, some of the technical things he's been working on, robo-umpires, how much this team still believes they are ready to make a run and the possibility of being an all-star. Then, Brock Huard joins for an old-fashioned Brock & Salk debate on the QBs. Plus, another edition of Ranked.

Salk is still blown away by Maura's Twitter Poll that showed Seahawks fans voting for Drew Lock over Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo as the best option at QB for the team in 2022... but why, exactly? Salk asks those people to call the show and explain their reasoning behind picking a guy who doesn't appear to be a franchise QB and the reasons vary greatly from draft pick arguments, Drew's past opportunities and Jimmy/Baker financial concerns.

Maura recently posted a Twitter Poll asking Seahawks fans to vote on who they want the starting QB and Drew Lock was the surprising answer. Salk doesn't see it. ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan makes his weekly appearance to discuss potential All-Stars on the Mariners and what he believes is the biggest issue with the current team. Brock Huard joins for an old-fashioned Brock & Salk debate on the QBs.
