Lefko & Joe start out by discussing how insane the Carlos Correa situation is turning out to be w/ the recent SI article reporting he was dressed & ready for the press conference before being pulled away. The Seahawks are sending 4 players to the Pro Bowl and it says a lot for how people expected this season to turn out and how much it says for the belief/culture of the Seahawks team. Lefko & Joe Fann go over the big slate of NFL games this weekend with huge draft & playoff implications for the Seahawks before we revisit yesterday's KJ Wright conversation.

Brock tries to get lonely singles to call in to spend Christmas with Lefko and it's a perfect amount of cringe. Conversation switches to how they feel about the Seahawks chances after hearing what KJ had to say re: the defense playing 'bend don't break' style in order to give the offense a chance to keep the game competitive. Injury concerns for Seahawks w/ Ken Walker & others questionable, Lefko says they NEED to establish a run game and this presents an uphill battle on an already-depleted offense. Ranked: SHORT!

KJ describes how tough it is to play football in the severe cold and how it's made even worse by facing Patrick Mahomes and how the Chiefs draw up some of the most creative plays while they're in the redzone but says it's time for Quandre Diggs to step up big this week, but it's on everybody to tackle better and ACT like it's December football. KJ breaks down the “awful” Seahawks run game and says it could be up to the D to step up and hold the Chiefs to FGs to give the offense a chance to stay in the game.

Brock & Lefko debate on whether or not Tyler Lockett could actually be back in a week post-surgery and although positive, Brock thinks it's a reach based on hearing Pete's comments discussing it yesterday. oad game of the Seahawks season and Brock says these final 3 games are enormous data points for Geno Smith's future because Brock thinks ~13 of 32 NFL teams have questions at QB and could make Geno's market very interesting. Blue 88 answers: who is Laquon Treadwell and what does he mean for Tyler Lockett's absence, why will Russ and Denver finish strong and how does UW match up with Texas in the Alamo Bowl?

Happy Winter Solstice! Lefko is excited that the darkest days are finally over but we still don't know the final date/time of the Seahawks game on Jan. 7/8. Pete Carroll reported a positive surgery update for Tyler Lockett, but Al Woods & other Seahawks didn't practice yesterday and remain a concern. Kraken win 5-2 over St. Louis last night and we revisit yesterday's Hot Stove conversation with Shannon Drayer before details on the crazy Correa news and Brandon Drury signing news. Lefko dives into FanGraphs numbers and projections of Drury & Jurickson Profar and wants to go on record saying he will be bummed if the M's aren't able to sign Profar.

Brock & Lefko play some revisionist history and ask what move(s) would you change in the NFL? The college sports landscape is being rocked by NIL deals and Brock says they are getting out of hand w/ some deals are going for $10 million or more for a single player. We play a clip of WSU coach Jake Dickert who claims he's had players stolen from other coaches around the league. Ranked: Excuse(s).

Who is the most important player on the Seahawks if they want to get a win over the Chiefs? Brock mentions a lot of names but ultimately lands on Geno Smith and Lefko says it is without a doubt DK Metcalf's time to shine. A lot of conversation has been shared around the Mariners offseason moves (or lack thereof) and payroll, so we bring in Mariners Insider Shannon Drayer to share her thoughts on the hot stove season. Brock and Lefko discuss if the the Mariners have wasted this offseason?

Brock tweeted a question out for Seahawks fans to answer the question as to what the MAIN reason the Seahawks have for losing 4 of 5 games? FOX Sports broadcaster Kevin Kugler joins Lefko & Brock before he calls the Seahawks v Chiefs Christmas game in KC and agrees on one player who needs to have a breakout game to beat the Chiefs. In Blue 88, Brock answers why this is the best UW recruiting haul in history, what is the actual scheme fix for the Hawks run game, and who will be most burdened on the Seahawks defense in KC?

Monday Night Football didn't do the Seahawks any favors with their hopes of a top 3 draft pick as the Rams fall to the Packers, and Mike Lefko (in for Mike Salk) isn't feeling super confident based on the remaining schedule for those teams near the bottom of the Tankathon for draft picks. We see some CB pettiness between Sauce Gardner and Tariq Woolen on the Pro Bowl voting and we revisit yesterday's conversation with Pete Sweeney (Arrowhead Pride) before Lefko proclaims Saturday to be DK Metcalf's game to win.

Why have the Seahawks abandoned the run game? With Geno Smith’s rush totals removed, the Seahawks haven’t carried the ball more than 20 times in the past 5 games and haven’t had more than 87 ground yards. After some dating chatter Lefko & Brock get back to football as the Seahawks are a 9.5 point underdog, but Lefko asks if this game will be closer than expected? Ranked: BROCKS (including honorable mention Brock Huard).
