This Seahawks team, for as good as they are, are very different from the Legion of Boom regime. And Salk very much believes in that, so he discusses. Later, they re-air their conversation with Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald after the team's dominating win over the Commanders.

Brock stirred up a question to Salk last night about the idea of the Seahawks trading for Myles Garrett, so they talk through it (and Salk doesn't love the answer). They also discuss just how real the Seahawks are now starting to feel and react to some national sound of people backing the Seahawks up. In Blue 88, Brock dives in on some Demarcus Lawrence comments on Mike Macdonald and the most outrageous Seahawks stat through eight games.

Bob and Dave hear what Seahawks Head Coach Mike Macdonald had to say about their blowout win, the latest on Ernest Jones’ injury, and the impressive performance from the defense last night, they bring you the biggest stories around the NFL, including one of the first trade deadline moves, they revisit their predictions for the game in Call It Now, and they wrap up the show by finding out what we learned today!

Mike Macdonald joins Brock and Salk to discuss why he was so happy with his team's performance in last night's win, what complementary football means to him, whether he can feel a freedom as a playcaller with how many blitzing options are available to him, what DeMarcus Lawrence brings to the team, if the numbers being out out there for Grey Zabel support what he sees, how the Bucs loss helped them and how Brandon Pili ended up on kickoff coverage.

RUNDOWN   Is Mitch secretly a MOBSTER? The guys ride the high of a Seahawks blowout while fretting an Earnest Jones IV injury and torching D.C.'s awful turf, then rip through birthday/lore nuggets. An unforgettable World Series finish, seen through a Seattle lens—taking petty joy in Toronto's collapse while admitting Game 7 (and the under-discussed, error-filled Game 6) will haunt Mariners fans for years. Then it's all Seahawks: a near-perfect beatdown in D.C., vintage throwback uniforms, and why John Schneider should chase help at WR/OL/LB before the deadline. Mitch, Brady, and Jacson break down Seattle's 38–14 primetime rout of Washington — a game where both sides of the ball finally clicked. They discuss Sam Darnold's near-perfect night (one of only four 97+ QBRs in the NFL this season — three belonging to him), Mike Macdonald's astounding 11–1 road record, and the play-calling brilliance driving the offense. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to break down a wild week in college football — from the bloated buyouts fueling a $160 million coaching carousel to Washington's unlikely playoff path. The two dive into quarterback drama, "alma mater alimony," and the rise of dual-threat sensation Demond Williams, before wrapping with Taco Time's weekly honors — including a nod to Oklahoma's kicker and his unforgettable Daisy Duke game-day look. Christian Caple joins Mitch to assess the Huskies' 6–2 season and the playoff math that could still put Washington in the 12-team field if they run the table. He breaks down the defense's ability to hang with Oregon, the tricky stretch at UCLA, and how Jed Fish's success could make him a hot-commodity coach with a star quarterback in tow.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Christian Caple | UW Football Insider, On Montlake   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch Gets Mistaken for a Mobster, Hotshot's Arrest-Video Obsession, and a Giddy Seahawks Sunday 20:12 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 27:48 | Mariners Heartbreak, Dodgers Relief, and a Seahawks Surge with Trade-Deadline Stakes 46:58 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Seahawks Dominate in D.C. — Darnold's Surge, McDonald's Mastery, and a 6–2 Statement 1:09:20 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; on the Coaching Carousel, Playoff Chaos, and the Short Shorts Heard 'Round the Nation 1:41:08 | GUEST: Christian Caple: on Washington's Playoff Chances, Jed Fish's Future, and the Rise of Demond Williams Jr. 2:04:56 | Other Stuff Segment: NFL 68-yard field goal record (JAX kicker Cam Little), NBA gambling/poker scandal (prop bets, x-ray glasses, star player tax lien), Pittsburgh radio host loses bet and gets nipple piercings, Scott Woodward's AD buyout saga (Jimbo Fisher, Brian Kelly, LSU governor, Woodward payout), Robert Englund gets Hollywood Walk of Fame star (Freddy Krueger story), Adrian Peterson's latest DWI and weapon arrest, Phil Mickelson insider-info case echoes 2016 SEC probe, RIPs: Bob Trumpy — Bengals TE/longtime NBC broadcaster (80), Carol Davis — Raiders co-owner, widow of Al Davis (93), Yoervis Medina — former Mariners/Cubs pitcher (37), Nick Mangold — former Jets center (41), Ace Frehley — original KISS guitarist, Dwayne Roberts — inventor of the frozen burrito (88), HEADLINEs: Breathing through our butts proven safe — Mitch Levy's been talking out his ass for years, GQ says "Nut Maxers" aim for maximum output — I was hoping it was a candy bar, MSN reports boob jobs are shrinking — so no more inflation, Detroit cop appears pantless in court — didn't stand up well, Customers sue On shoes for squeaks — my mom should've sued my dad first.

Salk likes that this team is different than the LOB era team. They have their own identity and style. Then, we discuss Greg Olsen's post about the Seahawks not being a good rushing team and instead looking like a heavy personnel passing team. Plus, we break down the Dodgers World Series win, the Seahawks dominant night in D.C., and the Kraken taking on the Blackhawks tonight.    *The Mike Macdonald interview can be found on the Mike Macdonald Show podcast page

Mike Macdonald had far more confidence in his team than anyone else entering the 2025 NFL season, and now that confidence is paying off and reigning true, so Brock and Salk talk through it. They then dissect Game 7 of the World Series in which was one of the best baseball games we've ever watched, with the Seahawks emerging victorious to win back-to-back World Series. In Blue 88, topics include what people reached out to Brock about regarding the Seahawks, a major pivot the Seahawks made that hasn't gotten as much buzz and why are the Huskies finally ranked.

The Seattle Seahawks cruised to a 38-14 victory over the Washington Commanders in front of a national audience on Sunday night. The gruesome injury late in the game to Jayden Daniels soured the win and we hope Ernest Jones and Josh Jobe come out of the game ok for our Seahawks. Sam Darnold was on point for Seattle and Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued to dominate, supported by a well-balanced offense orchestrated by Klint Kubiak. The defense stifled Washington's offense and controlled the game from start to finish. Mike Macdonald made the right call on defense with Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe getting the start and Nick Emmanwori demonstrating why he should never be on the bench. Without Cooper Kupp on the field, Tory Horton hauled in a couple touchdowns to make his case for future WR2 on the team and Cody White jumped up from the practice squad to add a long touchdown of his own.

Bump and Stacy listen to the biggest highlights from the Seahawks’ blowout win over the Commanders, they answer your questions about the Seahawks defensive improvements in Four Down Territory, they hear how Sam Darnold’s prefect game was jinxed in The Timeline, and they break down what Mike Macdonald said about Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence’s amazing performances. 

Join us as we gear up for the Seahawks Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders! How will the loss of Julian Love to injured reserve impact on the Seahawks defense and how will Mike Macdonald manage the return of Devon Witherspoon? With the Commanders recent struggles, Washington will be desperate for a win against a Seahawks team that has dominated on the road. The Commanders offense gets Jayden Daniels back, but they may not have the downfield offense to be able to attack the Seahawks defense. With the trade deadline approaching, could that impact how Seattle handles the playtime for Tariq Woolen on Sunday? Cooper Kupp, if he plays, may be limited against the Commanders, but that could prove beneficial in going heavy with tight-end heavy formations and Robbie Ouzts returning. We get into our Do Better and Better at Life in this week's show as our podcast host is no longer supporting our standalone app. We recommend podcast apps like Pocket Casts and Castamatic to listen to your favorite shows.  We touch on Russell Wilson's recent comments as he defended himself against Broncos coach Sean Payton and thank our supporters for the month of October.

The Seahawks offensive line has long been an issue, but they've quietly been performing well and it wasn't just one thing that caused the change.

The Mariners are now in a position where they have gone from needing to have gritty resillience to killer instinct due to their 2-0 ALCS lead. And Brock and Salk talk through how they don't think that will be a huge issue for them. They also play sound from both Toronto and from Craig Carton once again regarding the Mariners and how people are starting to finally learn about them (or, at least some of them are). In Blue 88, topics include the Seahawks offensive line struggles, a Sam Darnold stat that Brock is confident that he thrives in and what Mark Schlereth took away from Mike Macdonald.
