Brock and Salk

The Mariners went big in free agency by adding Cy Young award winner Robbie Ray--Brock & Salk share their excitement and surprise about the deal...but will it be the biggest move they make this offseason? Salk has some interesting names to look out for after the MLB lockout ends. With Russell Wilson looking nowhere near his normal self, Brock & Salk explore what needs to happen with Wilson, Pete Carroll and John Schneider. Have they strayed from the formula that made them a Super Bowl winner? Can they remake the secret sauce that took the League by storm? The Huskies announce their new head coach, but with QB Jake Haener looking likely to transfer back to UW, what will Sam Huard do? Brock weighs in on whether a transfer is likely...and you won't want to miss his answer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Jimmy Lake's firing official, Salk puts Brock on the hot seat. Why didn't Lake's tenure work out the way UW athletic director Jen Cohen expected it would? Brock gives a comprehensive breakdown of the misses for the Husky program over the last 2 years. What role did Chris Petersen have in Lake's hiring, and what role will he play in the search for his replacement? Brock gives his early list of potential candidates to replace Lake at UW and a list for the Cougs, too. Brock and Salk might be taking crazy pills, but they may be the only ones left who believe Russell Wilson's finger was the reason for his performance against Green Bay. Salk was bothered by the return, but not for the reason you might expect. What does this portend for the future of Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russell Wilson is back on the practice field preparing for a return this weekend at Lambeau Field. Brock & Salk have mixed emotions on whether for All Pro WR Odell Beckham Jr is a worthy investment for the Seahawks.  UW Head Coach Jimmy Lake has been suspended for this weekend's game vs Arizona State, but will that be the extent of the punishment, or has Lake already coached his final game on Montlake? The MLB GM meetings are underway in California and Salk is excited to hear a couple big time names already being linked to the M's.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How did he do it?!? That's the question Brock & Salk are asking about Russell Wilson's recovery from finger surgery. Is his recovery ability a skill? The Seahawks offense is about to be at full strength at just the time they need it.  The World Series is over, which means that trades and free agent signings in baseball can officially begin. Salk gives his under-the-radar trade target for the Mariners while making a strong claim about the importance of this offseason in Mariners franchise history. Brock gets roasted in Mean Tweets, but not before Howdy secretly records Salk's story of being spooked by his youngest daughter to the point of screaming out loud. Hear the full story here! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After another loss at home--this time to the Saints on Monday Night Football--the outlook for 2021 seems bleak...but is all hope lost? Mike Salk sees a clear path to the playoffs that isn't unreasonable, but does Brock see enough out of the Hawks to buy it once Russell Wilson returns? Now with 2 games under their belt without Wilson, Brock & Salk believe the reality of the Seahawks' roster and Pete Carroll's philosophy are coming to bear. Will there be consequences for coming up short? Salk goes through some interesting free agent and trade targets for the Mariners ahead of a big offseason. Brock dives deeper into the hard truths about the Washington Huskies in Blue 88. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After watching the Seahawks without Russell Wilson, Brock & Salk are convinced that Russell hasn't been holding the Hawks back in any way. Why haven't the offensive and defensive systems kicked into gear after 6 games this year? Brock is very concerned about Jamal Adams, while Salk sees why Pete Carroll believes the team can turn it around. Nick Rolovich was fired by Washington State University for refusing to get vaccinated. Brock & Salk aren't shying away from the conversation--and let's be real, their willingness to address hard issues is one of the reasons why you've listened to the show for all these years. Take a listen with an open mind. Brock dives deeper into whether there's hope for UW to right the ship in Blue 88 and anoints a program in the state of Washington as the top dog...and it's probably not who you think it is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time in a decade, the Seahawks will play a game without Russell Wilson. Is Pete Carroll's system strong enough to keep the team afloat until his return? Do the Seahawks have a talented enough roster to win a game without Wilson? Will Shane Waldron's vision for the offense make more or less sense with a backup QB running it? Brock & Salk have some strong beliefs about the direction of the Seahawks--and the implications of coming up short during Russell Wilson's absence. The Kraken have officially launched--Brock & Salk share their first impressions of Seattle's NHL team and how it felt to be a part of something new in Seattle sports for the first time in decades. Brock foresees major questions being asked of the Huskies and Cougs if the ships don't right themselves in time for bowl selection in Blue 88. Plus, will there be more uncovered in the Washington Football Team investigation beyond the evidence that resulted in Jon Gruden's resignation? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While the Mariners didn't end up making the playoffs after all, Brock & Salk break down why this year is a turning point for the franchise. Salk believes the Mariners are ready to spend big this offseason, but Brock is worried about upsetting the amazing culture built this season--can you preserve it while adding major talent? Is this offseason the biggest in franchise history, and can they do enough to take this team beyond 90 wins and into the playoffs? FOX Sports NFL analyst Mark Schlereth was on the broadcast team for the Hawks' win over the 49ers--what did he see on film that points to a resurgence in the defense that might be sustainable? Mark has some interesting comments on where the Hawks sit in a loaded NFC West after 4 games. Brock makes a dour claim about the Washington Huskies (tinged with a hopeful blueprint) in Blue 88. Plus--since D.K. Metcalf has improved every part of his game over his 3 year NFL career, is it still possible to improve his hands? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With less than 5 games to play, the Mariners are nearly positioned to control their own playoff destiny. While the M's have been close to the playoffs multiple times over their 20 year playoff drought, no team has felt like they belong in the playoffs quite like this one--Brock & Salk dissect what's made this team so special & fun to watch. Brock picks his MVP for the M's in 2021, but Mike Salk believes this team is built to win completely differently. Where do you point the finger when determining why the Hawks are off to an unimpressive 1-2 start: talent or scheme? Brock & Salk sit on opposite sides of the fence..and let's be honest. It's better that way. Throw in a hypothetical involving the Legion of Boom and you've got yourself the perfect hour of the Brock & Salk podcast! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's one thing to lose a game, but it's an entirely different thing when the comments made by the head coach after the game indicate there may be a bigger problem brewing. Has Pete Carroll truly buried the controversy between Russell Wilson and the Hawks from the offseason, or is the ghost of that situation re-appearing as adversity strikes? The Mariners simply won't quit on the 2021 season, and it's got Mike Salk wondering if this is the beginning of a new chapter in Mariners baseball. Is there enough hope left to propel this squad to an unlikely postseason appearance this year? Salk has also seen something in Jarred Kelenic's recent surge that leads him to believe that he'll never go back to the struggles he had when he received his first call-up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Remember all that consternation about whether the Hawks offense was going to work after not being able to see it in the preseason? Yeah...Brock and Salk were blown away. Why did it take 9 years of Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to get to an offense that clicked so smoothly?  The Mariners playoff run is at a critical juncture, but Salk saw something this week that proved to him that the team culture has changed from the negative one that has existed for much of the playoff drought--and it's why he believes this team's playoff run isn't over now, while the drought might be soon enough. Brock has seen enough of the Washington Huskies in the first 2 games of the season. He sounds off with some frustrations to a level you may have never heard from him before. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hawks' kick off the 2021 season this Sunday, and after having watched virtually no starters in the preseason, Brock & Salk are left wondering what to expect when the Hawks take the field for the first time. With new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron installing a new offense this year, Salk believes that his success--or failure--could determine not only the ceiling of the '21 season, but the future of Russell Wilson in Seattle. Brock believes that Waldron's offense may be ideally suited for Wilson's skillset. With new contract extensions for Scott Servais and Jerry Dipoto, Brock & Salk celebrate what they view as a positive step for the Mariners in their pursuit of the playoffs in the near future. Has Yusei Kikuchi pitched himself out of the Mariners' future plans? Howdy is heated about the Huskies' embarrassing loss to Montana, and Brock breaks down the tape to explain why it happens. Is Jimmy Lake's job on the line? Will the Dawgs turn to true freshman Sam Huard at QB? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hawks preseason is over, and with most of the starters on offense sitting on the sidelines up to this point, who's to say how good this team actually is? Brock Huard, of course! Brock walks through the questions he's had answered over the last month by this team's roster construction and play on the field, highlights the questions that remain, and debates with Mike Salk the small group of players who will likely decide the Seahawks' fate in 2021. Salk identifies his candidates for surprise star of the year for the Mariners, and how Mariners fans should be crediting the Mets for their success this season--and not because of Jarred Kelenic. Finally, Brock gets a taste of humble pie with "Mean Tweets" while Salk shares his obsession with the Mets' "thumbs down" controversy that has a weird connection with Brooks Koepka. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Has Pete Carroll completely changed his "always compete" philosophy, and if so, are the Hawks better off for it? Brock & Salk are joined by FOX NFL anchor and Seahawks preseason play-by-play announcer Curt Menefee as they get to the bottom of why the Hawks have looked so uncompetitive in the preseason...and why, for the first time under Pete Carroll, that won't mean anything about whether this team is good in the regular season.  The Mariners are in the midst of the most surprisingly competitive Mariners team in Scott Servais and Jerry Dipoto's tenure with Seattle. Salk explains why he believes Servais deserves to win "Manager of the Year" for his team's performance, and why the Mariners had better lock him up to a contract extension before other teams pry him away this offseason. Brock breaks down the new college football alliance that's brewing between the PAC 12, ACC and BIG10, and a 4 letter word that sums up why this move is being made in Blue 88. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a lackluster opening game to the 2021 preseason, Brock and Salk are left wondering what's real and what's pretend out the 20-6 loss. While two young defensive players stood out on the bright side, one position group has Brock looking on the trade market for answers. The Mariners remain in a postseason race, but if they miss the Wildcard, should the Mariners wait another year before spending big in free agency? Salk looks at some recent MLB dynasties for answers. The opening weekend of the NFL showcased a handful of interesting young QBs--did any stand out as the next Russell Wilson or Patrick Mahomes? Brock has some interesting insight on one rookie he believes is poised to rise above the rest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was Brock Huard given a personal invitation from Peyton Manning to attend his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Of course he was. He's Brock Huard! Brock shares some incredible interactions with NFL legends behind the scenes in Canton, Ohio. The Mariners made some aggressive moves at the deadline, but the M's win/loss record has been markedly worse since than before the deals were made. Did the M's get better, or did they ruin a good thing? Salk has some strong thoughts about the state of the Mariners as they head into the stretch run. Jamal Adams' contract situation has linger significantly longer than Brock & Salk anticipated--when are the alarm bells going to go off?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is Richard Sherman rebounding from the incident in July? Avril shares his perspective after multiple conversations with Sherman. And could the Hawks truly have built enough on defense to push them over the top in 2021? Mike Salk is fired up about how positive the Mariners trade deadline was, but he's got beef with the players who expressed frustration about the Graveman deal. Was it time for the M's to add marquee players at this deadline if it meant moving on from top prospects? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did the Mariners come-from-behind win over the Astros after Dylan Moore's grand slam officially vault the Mariners into the final stage of the rebuild?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the details of Richard Sherman's arrest continue to be released, Brock and Salk empathize with Seattle Sports fans who are caught in the middle of conflicting thoughts and emotions.

Brock and Salk discuss how the healing process for Sherman may look and how a departure from his past worldview might be vital. The Kraken expansion draft is fast approaching--Mike Salk takes a deep dive into the potential franchise-defining names that could be selected and how they could shape the success of the team's inaugural season.

The Mariners are in position for their first playoff appearance in 21 years at the All Star Break. In order to earn a Wild Card spot, Mike Salk believes they're going to need to make one addition to the roster. If they do make the Wild Card, who would start that game? Mike Salk has a surprising suggestion that hints at the key to the M's chances of making that game in the first place. Brock & Salk debate whether the Mariners would have been better off in the alternative universe where Shohei Ohtani signs with the M's--would Jarred Kelenic be a Mariner still? Brock remembers NFL coaching legend Alex Gibbs after his passing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mariners can't stop winning, but there are obvious holes on the roster that need to be filled in order for this team to maintain their trajectory.

Brock recalls fond memories of one of the PAC12's most successful coaches, Salk gets in another fight with an old person, and Brock & Salk discuss how the PAC12 could get back to the glory days now that "name and likeness" restrictions have been lifted for NCAA athletes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mariners keep winning games through June, setting up for a critical evaluation period for the team as the July trade deadline fast approaches. Are there enough positive, sustainable aspects of the Mariners' winning ways to make the Mariners buyers? If Mitch Haniger needs to be traded, who makes that decision since GM Jerry Dipoto doesn't have a contract beyond this season? What could be preventing Mariners ownership from committing to Dipoto and Servais beyond this year? A landmark Supreme Court decision could spell the end of the NCAA, while Brock & Salk solve the NFL's COVID protocol crisis in less than 5 minutes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Seahawks mandatory minicamp gets underway, Brock & Salk provide their predictive headlines of what they expect to read coming out of this phase of the offseason. Will the Hawks actually sign Jamal Adams, or will they play hardball and try to force him to play out his deal this year if he doesn't accept their offer? The Mariners are just weeks away from the trade deadline--how can the team afford to make any moves if GM Jerry Dipoto isn't under contract next year?

Wright seems to be going nowhere, but is it because a former 1st round pick is making a position change that has the Hawks' second guessing a return for the former Pro Bowler?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now tied atop the NFC West, Brock & Salk see a light at the end of the tunnel for the Seahawks if they maintain the "typical" brand of Seahawks football they saw in the Hawks win over the Cardinals.
