Mike Salk

The Kraken officially hit a win streak after beating the Sharks last night at home with some really good offensive & defensive play, Salk reads some funnier apple reviews and go over which teams Salk is rooting for in the divisional round based on who he hates the least. Re revisit the Dean Blandino interview and introduce two new fragrances (NOT by Russell & Ciara) from the Seahawks.

Former vice president of NFL officiating and current FOX Sports analyst Dean Blandino joins the show to discuss the officiating so far in the playoffs, and some of Salk's rule change proposals. Then, Brock Huard explains why he's not so sure that Jamal Adams can become a centerpiece of the defense and his thoughts on the growing list of candidates for Seahawks defensive coordinator. Plus, Ranked is all about non scary movies that traumatized you as a child today.

With the MLB lockout continuing into late-January the focus has shifted more towards the prospects in the Mariners farm system and the emergence of a few big names, most notably Julio Rodriguez who currently sits at the #2 spot on BA's Top 100 list. Maura put together a game for Salk and Justin to guess the team based on stats alone, and John Clayton's Morning Drive discusses the next NFL playoff round.

Salk disagrees with Matt Hasselbeck regarding how they view the next two years of Russell's tenure in Seattle. Salk wants players to play in the moment - not for the future. There's a lot to love about the Mariners with the amount of prospects in the top 100, but mostly about how Jerry Dipoto did what he said he would do regarding the rebuild. Brock Huard discusses Jamal Adams.

Salk starts the show by asking the obvious question about Jamal Adams and how (or if) the new defensive coordinator can get him in the right position to be the impact player he was expected to be. Some of this questioning derives from yesterday's Matt Hasselbeck show so we revisit that conversation to hear Matt's thoughts on Jamal and even some comments about Russell's "SuperBowl window" in the next 2 years.

Matt Hasselbeck joins Salk to give his thoughts on wild card weekend, how far the Seahawks are from being in that mix again and what they should be looking for in a new defensive coordinator. Then, he answers rapid fire questions about this weekend's playoff slate and gives us a list of favorite NYC desserts that he and the Sunday NFL Countdown crew have sampled in Ranked.

Salk asked fans on Twitter what is most important to them when seeking a new DC for the Seahawks and an overwhelming majority said creativity as their answer, but the biggest thing will be finding a way to utilize Jamal Adams. Justin plays the voicemails he "found" the on Roger Goodell's phone before talking to Brock Huard about the early defensive coordinator candidates.

Speculation begins and the names start to drop for who could be the next Seahawks defensive coordinator and they are all pretty different. We revisit our conversation with Albert Breer yesterday regarding a comment he made about Russell not wanting to sign a new contract at the end of this current one. If that's to be believed, should they move on from him right now?

Star-studded hour of the show with former Seahawks OL (and current radio host 104.3 The Fan, Denver) Tyler Polumbus discussing Ed Donatell from the Broncos and how he would fit with the Seahawks. Michael Bumpus (former Seahawks WR, current Seahawks radio pre & postgame host) talks about the most impactful coaches he's had and how that shapes his vision for the next DC, and of course John Clayton's Morning Drive with a look around the league.

Another terrible loss has Salk upset that the "Super Wild Card" games were mostly awful with 4 out of 6 games not even being blowouts, but how far away are the Seahawks from the losing teams? Kraken finally get a win (after introducing the new team dog 'Davy Jones') in a shootout vs. Chicago and we go Around 710 to hear Jake Heaps (Jake & Stacy 10a-2p) refute a story from Russell Wilson's camp.
