Mike Salk

Justin is in mourning over his Bengals but won't go as far as saying the refs cost them the game; but they did impact the momentum and as much as we weren't rooting for the 49ers, it still wasn't what anyone wanted to see. Salk emphasized a point made by Mike Lefko as to why the NFL emphasizes protecting the QB. Maura takes us Around the Weekend and Salk asks an important question: is Julio Rodriguez perfect?

Some of the comments Jerry Dipoto made about Jarred Kelenic has Salk hoping that he will also get started early and not have to play from behind like he has in the past, and one other Mariners player comp is helpful to put some perspective on the expectations for Kelenic this season. The weekly Gee Scott (Gee & Ursula, 97.3 KIRO) appearance covers the coaching disparity in the NFL and if Geno Smith could win a Super Bowl making $30m a year in Seattle.

Salk is looking forward to this weekend's games more than any in a long time because these are the four best teams and it isn’t close, but what would we learn if each team wins? Joe Fann makes his weekly appearance to discuss if he thinks Pete Carroll got screwed again by not even being nominated for Coach of the Year, if he believes when Dipoto says trades still possible and if he is being open minded about Kelenic. Salk gets creative with Blue 88.

Salk is back from Vegas and shares some feelings he experienced from the trip before expressing how mad he is about the dirty hit on Matty Beniers Wednesday night at home and says this is proof that they really need a protector for him. Salk is also upset that both Pete Carroll & John Schneider were snubbed again for Coach/Executive of the Year before we revisit yesterday's Jerry Dipoto Show with Aaron Goldsmith.

Goldmsith gives his thoughts on extending a player like Geno after one year of success leading to a discussion about baseball & football players that were one year wonders, but the biggest question to ask yourself is 'is this real' because you never know what any player's career year is until it happens. Goldsmith asks Brock how you grade a QB after one year of success and what makes it 'real' to coaches. A very special "wheelhouse" version of the Jerry Dipoto Show covers the potential of more trades before Spring Training and much more.

Brock asks Aaron Goldsmith to recap his last week now that we know he will be staying in Seattle and all of the pieces that led to his decision. Brock asks Goldsmith to play his "Sean McVay game" to see what he remembers from some of his bigger calls and we hear some great BTS stories of those games. Brock flips Blue 88 and asks Goldy to answer: who is the greatest athlete you've ever watched at any level on a baseball field, which Mariner could play at a high level on a football field, and what enduring memory of the football games he called with Brock?

The Kraken finally defeat the Canucks and do it in dominant fashion with a 6-1 win at home, but questions surround Matty Beniers who took a cheap shot in the 2nd and did not play in the 3rd.
