We are talking carry-over as the Seahawks and 49ers met up just two weeks ago. What will and won't carry over in this game? - The coaching battle is one for the ages as Shanahan will most likely have an entirely different game plan on Saturday. - Injuries continue to plague the Niners as George Kittle will be out, but they'll still utilize those TE's. - Sam Darnold had 20 turnovers in the regular season, so he has to have a clean sheet against this Niners team, or at least close to it. :30- AL KINISKY (Kraken Audio Network Color Analyst) The Kraken got the comeback win in New York on Monday and they're back at it in New Jersey tonight. We get Al's thoughts on Matty Beniers and how he's progressed in his 3rd season. The youngsters continue to put in work- what are they bringing to this Kraken team?

6AM- We are just three days away from Seahawks/49ers round 3 at Lumen Field. The coaching battle remains at the forefront of the conversation after Mike MacDonald's defense shut down Kyle Shanahan's offense last time, so how will both coaches game plan for this playoff matchup? :30- Mike Tomlin announced he is stepping down as head coach of the Steelers after 19 years. With Tomlin's decision, the AFC North is now without John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin, two staples in the division and in the NFL, but with Pittsburgh stuck in mediocrity, sometimes you have to break it all down to build it back up and this might be the perfect time for them to do that. :45- We can't forget about offseason baseball! Kyle Tucker has a big (money) decision to make and no, he won't be coming to Seattle… and no, the Mariners would never have offered him $50 million a year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They then welcome on Rich Eisen of the NFL Network to hear his thoughts on the success of the Seahawks, Mike Macdonald, Sam Darnold and much more.

Brock and Salk share some laughs about the very long Mike Macdonald pause during their conversation yesterday and compare it to the pause in their interview from a couple of years ago with former UW defensive tackle Vita Vea. They then dive further in to Sam darnold, and the idea of viewing him more as a football player rather than a quarterback specifically. In Blue 88, Brock takeas a look at some of the attitude that Mike Macdonald has learned from John Schneider, what led to the end of Pete Carroll's time with the Raiders and which head coaching job would be most enticing for Klint Kubiak.
