National Radio Host and Program Director (and my former mentor) Jeff Rickard, formerly of ESPN and SiriusXM, now steering the ship at WFNZ in Charlotte, NC, joins the show.

**Jeff gives his thoughts on the Carolina Panthers, Seattle's week 3 opponent. Are they the best team in the NFC South? Is Bryce Young the week 1 starter?

**From a national perspective, how does Jeff see the Seahawks as potential contenders in the NFC, and where does Pete Carroll rank among NFL coaches?

**As a long-time Denver native, Jeff has a unique perspective on what he expects from Russell Wilson this year.

**Favorite memories from covering the Seahawks many years ago when he was Sports Director at KEPR-TV (CBS) in Pasco, WA.
