Mike Salk

Pro Football Focus has Pete Carroll ranked as the #5 NFL Coach and that sounds about right, according to Salk... until you hear who is the #4 coach. Salk takes this as another example of why Pete has been so great in Seattle, especially right after we heard KJ Wright praise him for all he did during his days as a Seahawk. With the LIV Golf Tour spending huge money to attract some tour players, Salk asks Travis Fulton (The Stripe Show Podcast) about what lead to this moment and the repercussions for those who chose to join.

Salk stops short of saying the season depends on this homestand because that is silly but it's huge by virtue of what they did on the road trip (and by tanking the first two months). Shannon Drayer joins Salk to preview the series and give her first-hand account of what she saw on the road trip including what happened w/ Ty France before the benches clearer in Houston. Salk rants about the Warriors fans who are complaining about Boston fans' language before we join Brock Huard to address Pete Carroll's minicamp comments.

Pete Carroll spoke after yesterday's minicamp about DK Metcalf, injuries to rookies and much more - but the thing that stuck out to Salk the most was his comments about the SPEED of the players on this team, and that is important for a team who has been struggling to find an 'identity' in recent years. We revisit the Jerry Dipoto Show to hear how he felt about the episode Monday night in Houston and what he saw from Julio Rodriguez in that moment.

Michael Bumpus joins Salk to discuss the Drew Lock vs. Geno Smith debate and how that affects confidence when you're working out with the #2s at minicamp. Salk finally gets to taste his Gros Michel Banana that he's been waiting a decade to taste... and the results are interesting. The Jerry Dipoto Show takes a positive tone with Jerry's reaction to what he's seen from the past few series and shares injury updates on many players.

Salk loved the huge win in Houston but after seeing Julio get beaned twice by Astros pitching he wonders how much it will fuel the rivalry and asks if the team is developing more of a personality? Brock made a point on the Brock & Salk podcast that suggested the Hawks are easing Drew Lock into the offense in order to keep the pressure off him and build up his confidence, but Salk says it could also shatter any confidence. Brock Huard joins Salk to discuss the comments he made on the podcast and address the M's big series win in Houston.

Chris Simms has Seahawks QB Drew Lock ranked as the #40 QB in the NFL and Geno Smith at #33, but Salk says it's pretty clear after seeing Drew Lock not taking any snaps with the #1 offense at minicamp. We revisit the Jeff Passan conversation to highlight more of the Julio Rodriguez show and what impressed Passan the most during Monday's fight in Houston, Salk asks if he's currently the most irreplaceable player on the roster.

One of the things that stood out at minicamp was that there were none of the wow plays we always saw from Russell Wilson. Salk says Drew Lock and Geno Smith looked fine but Russell would so something almost every practice that caught your attention. Then, Brock Huard discusses whether we should be concerned or not about DK Metcalf not attending mandatory minicamp and talks through some of Salk's observations from yesterday. Plus, KJ Wright told us about attending some of his teammates weddings earlier and that prompts a wedding edition of Ranked.
