Brock and Salk

We react to some of our favorite things we heard this week from guests like Tom Brady, Daniel Jeremiah, Mike Macdonald, and Brian Nemhauser. Then, in Need to Know, we discuss the Seahawks and Patriots injury reports, John Schneider joining Wyman and Bob, Klint Kubiak lookng like the top candidate for both the Cardinals and Raiders head coaching vacancies, and the Kraken beating the Maple Leafs. Plus, we take your calls, as we do every Friday.

The hour starts with Blue 88, with topics including a pivotal strength on strength matchup between the Seahawks and Patriots, a new insight that John Schneider pointed to that has had a major impact on the Seahawks drafts and if Nick Emmanwori is the best player on the Seahawks defense. Later, Gee Scott stops by for his weekly appearance.

Brock and Salk react to an upcoming interview that they recorded with Leonard Williams and describe how his personality embodies the culture of the Seahawks roster. Afterwards, Mike Tirico of NBC Sports, who will be broadcasting the Super Bowl, joins the show to highlight what jumps out to him about both teams, what the Seahawks do well and more.

There are a lot of ESPN personalities picking the Seahawks to beat the Patriots, and it makes Salk a little bit nervous. He dives in to why to open the show. Then, they re-air their conversation with QB coach Jordan Palmer who shares his insights on Sam Darnold, the Seahawks, the Super Bowl matchup and more.

Salk says one of his favorite things about this team is that the defense runs and hits so well, so he was surprised to find out that they don't rank that well in tackles and YAC allowed. Brock breaks down why a few games might skew those numbers. Then, we hear from some former players that think this will be a close game and we discuss when we started believing the Seahawks had a chance to go to the Super Bowl.
