Seahawks OTAs kick off this week, so as the team gets together there are some key storylines and nuggets that we're going to be on the lookout for. The rookie form of Grey Zabel is high on that list along with the focus on quarterback and what we're hearing about Sam Darnold, versus Drew Lock versus Jalen Milroe. Could Lock's experience with this team give him an edge over the other two quarterbacks in the way they interact as a team? Defensively, we talk about some of the key things we want to hear about along the defensive line, despite their inability to put on pad and bang around like we see in the preseason. List season creep has begun. Usually it waits until after OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, but we have a couple lists where Sam Darnold makes an appearance. We talk about where he ranks out on the PFF list of 32 NFL starting quarterbacks and the top 10 most risky free agent signings. We also talk about why two former Seahawks are above Darnold on both lists and how it may lead the way for how the media views this Seahawks roster until the start of the season. In the second half of the show, we discuss a few of the rules changes. The NFL has expanded the number of plays that can be reviewed, but only if a flag is thrown. Touchbacks are now coming out to the 35-yard line. If teams and kickers don't start putting the ball in the landing zone, should the NFL penalize teams the same as when they kick it out of bounds? In the Do Better segment, we get into one other list that calls out one move the Seahawks should make and Amazon is password protecting the ability for people to change the time on their devices. Closing the show with Better at Life, we talk about the scientists behind the James Webb telescope and a former Seahawks player who is now an author on the subject of gardening.

In the third hour, Dick Fain and Hugh Millen discuss the growth of Jalen Milroe and his potential to be Seattle's eventual starter, what we could expect out of Sam Darnold in his first year with the Seahawks in 2025, plus if the legacy quarterback is on the team.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, episode 608! Jason “Puck” Puckett welcomes his regular Thursday guests, Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, Michael-Shawn Dugar from The Athletic and Brad Adam from ROOT sports. Puck starts off the show laughing about another Mariners win and how unexpected this start to the season is for the Mariners. In their win on Wednesday they won in a fashion that they haven't done before as Puck explains. Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, recaps the NFL draft and what he liked about what the Seahawks did in addressing a number of needs. They also discussed the Sheduer Sanders slide and why it happened and can he change his ways once he gets to the NFL. Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic, visits with Puck for his final visit before the start of next season. Puck and Dugar spend the majority of their time discussing Jalen Milroe and what his impact will be on the team and how soon will he play? Milroe has accuracy issues, is that something he can improve on at the NFL level? Puck and Dugar agree that having Milroe push Sam Darnold is a good thing for Darnold. Despite the contract, Darnold can't feel comfortable being the starting quarterback. Brad Adam, ROOT Sports, dials in from his hotel in Dallas as he is getting ready to spend his off day golfing with Mariners coaches. Once Brad gets done telling Puck about his pre-golf stretching and drinking routine they get into the Mariners and the unbelievable start of the season for Jorge Polanco. The show wraps up with, “Hey, What the Puck!?” The best storyline in baseball is Jorge Polanco and it's not close.

How should we be looking at this team heading into the 2025 NFL season? Mookie Alexander from FieldGulls.com at SB Nation joined us for a great discussion this week!Topics Mookie and Jeff dove into:- Rating and grading the Seahawks front office on the offseason they've had thus far.- What will the major differences be this year with Sam Darnold under center from what we saw with Geno Smith?- Biggest strengths and weaknesses on this team heading into the 2025 regular season?- What might the NFL Draft look like for Seattle as there are some gems on Day 2 and 3?All of this and much more during this week's Opposition Territory show!SUBSCRIBE on YouTube: youtube.com/@thephiladelphiasportstableHead over to our website for all of our podcasts and more: philadelphiasportstable.com.Follow us on BlueSky:Jeff: @jeffwarren.bsky.socialErik: @brickpollitt.bsky.socialFollow us on Threads:Jeff: @mrjeffwarrenErik: @slen1023The Show: @philadelphiasportstableFollow us on Twitter/X:Jeff: @Jeffrey_WarrenErik: @BrickPollittThe Show: @PhiladelphiaPSTFollow us on Instagram:Jeff: @mrjeffwarrenErik: @slen1023The Show: @philadelphiasportstable.Follow Jeff on TikTok: @mrjeffwarrenFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/PhiladelphiaSportsTable
In the third hour, Dick Fain and Hugh Millen dive deep into quarterbacks Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough, plus cornerback Will Johnson, then review Hugh's recent study of Geno Smith versus Sam Darnold before reacting to Colorado's new jersey retirements.
Kevin Cole joined the show to break down his offseason Improvement Index, a data-driven tool used to evaluate how NFL rosters have improved (or declined) year-over-year. His work at UnexpectedPoints.com has become must-read material for analytically-minded fans, bettors, and even NFL front office staff. Here are the key insights from our conversation: What is Unexpected Points? Kevin describes the site as catering to the "nerdy, numberier football fan." His content draws from past experience at PFF and DFS sites like RotoGrinders, focusing on analytics that aren't always directly tied to betting or fantasy, but absolutely inform both. In-season, he does deep game reviews and quarterback analysis. In the offseason, he shifts toward roster value, draft strategy, and team improvement projections. How the Improvement Index Works Core concept: The Index projects a team's upcoming season based on the prior year's roster, then adjusts for offseason changes using a plus-minus metric similar to the NBA. Player value is measured using EPA-based on/off-field impact, smoothed through clustering of similar players. Participation data (i.e., snap counts) is used to weight contributions, with additional considerations for injury risk, coordinator changes, and scheme tendencies. Point differential: Each team has a point differential in the index. A +43 improvement doesn't mean the Patriots will score 43 more points. It means their projected point differential is 43 points better than if they had kept their 2024 roster intact. That's worth about 1.3 wins this year. Roster Modeling Nuance Rotational players are harder to model, so Kevin smooths out usage based on prior snaps and coaching history. Fullbacks, centers, and low-snap positions get context-specific adjustments depending on scheme and replaceability. Coaching changes don't radically shift the projection unless it's a QB or team-level philosophy shift. Team-Level Highlights Patriots: The biggest gainers, with upside tied to improved depth and variance at QB. Diggs only ranks as their 5th most valuable addition. Bears: Interior OL upgrades (Jackson, Dolman) don't rate as highly, but the total picture (especially adding Joe Thuney) is strong. Panthers: Ranked 3rd in improvement. Key reason? They didn't lose much valuable talent, and the draft well based on surplus value. Browns: Gained ~5 points mostly from marginal improvements at QB (Pickett vs. projected backups). Still volatile due to QB uncertainty. Raiders: Geno Smith is a clear upgrade at QB, but the rest of the roster is roughly flat. Some natural regression expected after underperforming last year. 49ers: Losses overhyped due to player reputation rather than projected value. Comp picks help long-term roster strength. Jets: Show significant drop-off. Fields isn't rated as an upgrade over Rodgers, and they lost valuable supporting pieces like Davante Adams. Seahawks: Metcalf loss hurts more than Kupp helps. Darnold is a mid-tier projection (QB18–25 range), though he did flash top-5 efficiency last year. Eagles/Chiefs: Bottom tier in improvement, largely due to difficulty sustaining elite rosters. Kevin notes he had Ravens and Bills power-rated higher than the Chiefs pre-Super Bowl. Undervalued Teams? Colts: Slightly improved, with potential upside from Anthony Richardson or even Daniel Jones (yes, really). Browns: Again undervalued in the betting market due to lingering QB pessimism, despite a strong supporting cast. What's Next from Kevin? Expect more work pre-draft and post-draft: Updated Improvement Index “Analytical big board” using surplus draft value Post-draft evaluations factoring positional value, trade value, and reach vs. value metrics
Can we expect just a modicum of maturity...the guys could relate to John Kruk on the air...Did the Raiders get good value with Geno how much better will Darnold for Seattle?
In the first hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain react to Cal Raleigh's new contract extension with the Seattle Mariners, then listen and react to audio from Sam Darnold's interview today with Ian Furness, including the 41 yards clip, plus have Fun with Audio.
We're nearing a full week after both Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp were in Seattle to sign their new contracts. Yet we're still waiting on a lot of key details. The only details missing from the Darnold contract are essentially how many void years may be part of the deal. We talk about the evidence that we'll likely see two years and how it could impact the cap numbers. There is a lot unknown about the Kupp contract, so there is a lot more speculation there and where the guarantees could like to where it could be favorable for both the Seahawks and for Kupp. Plus, we take a look at who is left in the guard market as we close in on the 2025 NFL Draft.

In Hour 1… (5:11) The guys lead off with the Cincinnati Bengals placing the franchise tag on Wide Receiver Tee Higgins for the 2nd season in a row. Higgins scored 10 TD's and put up nearly 1000 yards during his 2024 campaign, and remains a vital piece of the Bengals offense, but with other big names to be signed, such as WR Ja'Marr Chase, how long can the Bengals and Higgins marriage last? (7:15) Following this, Mike and Mike discuss the QB Situation with the Minnesota Vikings, who made the decision to not place the franchise tag on QB Sam Darnold, signaling they will be turning to 2nd year QB J.J. McCarthy to take the reins.
