Mike Salk

The KJ Wright Show starts off with KJ discussing how much he's missed the game and what he's done to fill the void. Brock & Salk play some audio from D coordinator Clint Hurtt discussing the issues on defense and ask KJ how/what needs fixing before the moment you've all been waiting for - Richard Sherman who joins KJ Wright, Brock and Salk ahead of the Seahawks vs 49ers matchup where we learn that he is still not cool with Salk.

Salk was skeptical of Geno not only as a QB but as a leader (based on things he had heard, the situation in NY, and the DUI), but everything he's seen and heard from him since then this season has been A+ and he's handled adversity well. Brock surprises Salk with ESPN MLB Insider & friend of the Show Jeff Passan to help Salk rationalize his point about the M's offseason. Brock's Blue 88 covers the Seahawks defense, Geno Smith taking 'easy' completions, and why Shanahan is the best play caller in the game.

Salk starts the show with a story about scientists getting closer to fusion because he is delaying his apology for losing his temper yesterday about how this Mariners offseason has gone, or rather how a vocal piece of M's fans have felt it has transpired. Former Astros & Twins SS Carlos Correa signs the 4th largest contract in MLB history w/ the Giants for 13 years, $350m. Salk plays some clips from Seahawks D coordinator Clint Hurtt and asks again if they have the right personnel to fix their issues in time for a playoff run.

Brock & Salk share more memories about Coach Leach and Brock remembers the time Mike Leach called a former producer to ask if he could sleep in his camper during College Gameday in Pullman. Brock & Salk start to break down the comments from Pete Carroll about having the right personnel for the type of scheme they Seahawks want to run. Brock's 'Blue 88' answers: why is Mike Leach one of the 3 most impactful CFB coaches in this century, why did the Hawks try and play Al Woods at Red Bryant’s elephant position Sunday, and is it time to go 62 stack monster on defense?

Salk starts the show with his wishes to be a part of a big, festive, 80's-movie style office holiday party before the breaking news that Mike Leach has passed away at the age of 61. We revisit yesterday's Pete Carroll Show to hear Pete explain what he thinks is happening to the run defense, if he has the right players for his scheme, and his own Mike Leach memory.

Pete Carroll joins Brock and Salk to discuss what went wrong yesterday, what changes they can make to shore up the run defense, how he evaluates Geno Smith's performance, the importance of getting the run game going and Tyler Lockett's incredible ability to make toe tapping TD's look easy.

Salk asks Brock to imagine a hypothetical Mariners offseason that included a trade for (and signing) of Luis Castillo, signing Julio to longterm extension, signing Teoscar Hernandez to 6 year, 100M deal & Kolten Wong to 4 year, 60M deal. He goes on to compare free agent signings to a dopamine hit with how they fire up a fanbase. Seahawks Takeaways include the referee mess, 1-dimensional run game, Geno's missed throws, poor tackling and much, much more.
