Podcast appearances and mentions of mike macdonald

Brock and Salk just how next level good Cal Raleigh has been so far this year and if he'll eventually need some more off days. They then debate the pros and cons of a Seahawks trade for Trey Hendrickson. In Blue 88, topics include Mike Macdonald's breakdown of the Seahawks first OTA, what the biggest NFL storyline is as phase three of the offseason begins and a list that drove Brock crazy.

1. NFC East-When you add a special talent like Abdul Carter to a defensive front that includes star DT Dexter Lawrence, edge rushers Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, plus DT and 2025 third-round pick Darius Alexander, would you say the Giants have, at least on paper, the most fearsome pass rush in the entire NFL right now?-Do you see Jaxson Dart starting five or more games this season?-Do you think the added presence of Donovan Ezeiruaku to that Cowboys front four is going to free up Micah Parsons, schematically speaking, like never before?-How helpful can Tyler Booker, Ezeiruaku, and Shavon Revel, Jr. be in helping the Cowboys get the most out of George Pickens?-Do you think the best Week 1 OL combination for the Commanders includes Josh Conerly, Jr. at RT with Brandon Coleman kicking inside to guard, or is it Coleman staying put at RT with Conerly moving inside?-Would you anticipate Trey Amos growing into that No. 1 shutdown corner for the Commanders at some point this season?-I'm not saying Jihaad Campbell is Micah Parsons, but does Vic Fangio now have a weapon he can deploy in a very similar way?-Do you think Andrew Mukuba pushes Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown for one of the starting safety spots in Philly?2. NFC South -How does Tetairoa McMillan help Bryce Young continue on this promising trajectory?-Will the Panthers be getting the 2023 version of Nic Scourton as opposed to the 2024 version?-How ideal is it for the Saints to begin a roster makeover with two starting tackles on rookie contracts?-Would you bet on Tyler Shough being the Saints starting QB when they face the Cardinals in Week 1?-Just how skeptical are you that James Pearce, Jr. will end up living up to the price the Falcons paid to get him?-Does Emeka Egbuka bring anything to the table that Chris Godwin does not?-Would it be a surprise to you if both Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish are NOT playing starter-level snaps this season in Tampa?3. NFC North-After bringing in an innovative offensive mind in Ben Johnson to be their new head coach, re-vamping the OL, and ensuring that Caleb Williams will have four solid targets on the field at a time, is it safe to say the Bears have done everything possible to right their disastrous wrong in 2024?-Do you think Ozzy Trapilo has a legit shot to beat out Braxton Jones for the starting LT spot?-How do Matthew Golden and Savion Williams immediately upgrade the WR room in Green Bay?-With Donovan Jackson sliding in to that LG spot, do you see the Vikings as a top-five offensive line in 2025?-Do you see such upside in Tyleik Williams when it comes to rushing the passer?-What does the ceiling look like for Isaac TeSlaa?4. NFC West-Would you be surprised if Mykel Williams ends up winning 2025 NFL DROY honors?-Do you think Walter Nolen ended up in one of the best places possible that will help him reach his immense potential?-If the concerns about his knee end up being overblown, just how special a talent are the Cardinals getting in Will Johnson?-Can you see a scenario where Jalen Milroe ends up as the Seahawks starting QB in 2027?-Do you see Mike Macdonald utilizing Nick Emmanwori in pretty much the same way he used Kyle Hamilton in Baltimore?-Does it feel that most (if not all) signs are pointing toward the Rams landing their long-term successor to Matthew Stafford on Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft?-Which one of Jarquez Hunter or Chris Paul, Jr. do you think is most likely to far outplay his draft slot and why?(Photo via New York Giants)

In the aftermath of the 2025 NFL Draft, we're getting into the excitement surrounding the Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp and some of the latest comments from our new players. We dial in on the implications and critiques of the 2025 draft class, highlighting standout picks like Jalen Milroe and Gray Zabel, while also managing expectations. Why did the Seahawks go away from the defense or focus on more depth along the offensive line earlier in the draft? What went into the selection of a fullback in round 5? Each of the players had a chance to take questions from reporters on the podium at minicamp. We feature some of the top quotes from their interviews. Mike Macdonald talked about the energy that Milroe brought to the field. Nick Emmanwori sounds like he's going to fit right in with the veteran defensive backs. Finally, is a battle between the Midwest and the South part of the plan? In the second half of the show, we discuss draft grades and some of the concerns and criticisms about the class. In Do Better we talk about the concept of a 'National Park City' and the importance of the correct use of a subheading. Better at life nominees go to a company that went beyond something we thought we'd have from Back to the Future by now. We close by thanking a long-time listener and friend of the show. Special Thanks to our Sponsor BodySpec:

All LA teams are out of the postseason across the NBA and NHL. You hate to see it. The Mariners keep winning, apparently against all odds. While we might have issues with the team's ownership, it shouldn't take away from enjoying how well the team is playing right now. Mollywhop Monday! Chris Crawford and Nathan Bishop help us make sense of why the Mariners are playing so well right now. We keep asking if the offense is sustainable - is it?

We continue with Chris and Nathan and get an update on George Kirby. Plus, how can we evaluate Julio Rodriguez at this point? Seahawks rookie minicamp took place over the weekend and we hear from head coach Mike Macdonald for his first evaluation of the new rookie draft picks and undrafted free agent signings. Ian tells us what we can learn in a short time so far. It's quite interesting to think about how the Seahawks might use Jalen Milroe. We check in on the text line and finally, crosstalk with Softy.

How much can a park affect offensive production?   The Daily Power Play!   Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum gives us his first impressions of the Seahawks rookie class, through both those drafted and the undrafted signings.

Salk reacts to some sound from Eric Edholm who suggests that the Seahawks draft is a mix of high floor and high ceiling, which only gets him that much more excited. After that, they re-air their conversation in which they go through some superlatives of the Seahawks draft, including the highest upside pick, the most prototypical Mike Macdonald pick and several others.

From Day 2 of the NFL Draft, we provide full coverage of the day's selections by the Seahawks. John Schneider and Mike Macdonald made a move up early in the draft to take safety Nick Emmanwori. The South Carolina standout was a player many had linked to the Seahawks with the 18th overall pick and there were rumblings about Seattle trying to trade back into the first round to get him. Instead they were able to move up and still get him early in round 2. With their other second rounder, they selected tight end Elijah Arroyo, a player that Clinton had been critical of leading up to the draft. Phil Lydick joins the show to provide his thought and analysis of the picks. Max Toscano of Remember the Tight Ends comes in to talk about the Seahawks selection of Elijah Arroyo and Adam celebrates the selection of Jalen Milroe and what it could mean for the future of the quarterback room in Seattle.
