He evaluates Price’s film traits—pressing the line, jump cuts, getting back north, falling forward, and blending explosiveness with consistent one-cut...

Before Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft kicks off, we are recapping Seattle’s first-round selection of running back Jadarian Price. What happened to the idea of trading down and trying to get more picks in a draft where the Seahawks only had four? Now, with only three picks left, should Seattle still trade back for more volume or package picks to move up and improve hit rates? Will this be a need-based draft where the Seahawks look to cornerback and safety? Or will they focus on the talent availalbe on offensive or defensive line? We also look back at Day 1 to critique our NFC West rivals,...

How does the Seahawks running back room look heading into the 2026 NFL Draft? We discuss whether the current group has enough in the way of “special” traits and annoyances of college film and highlight reels.

Johnson is praised for start-stop ability, lateral quickness, and making blocking look better than it is. Jonah Coleman earns strong support as another...
info_outlineThe Seattle Seahawks face the New Orleans Saints in the divisional round of the playoffs on Saturday. Adam and Brandan take a look at the team that picked up their franchise's first road playoff win as they return to Seattle after a 34-7 loss in Week 13.
Brandan offers a suggestion on one play the Seahawks absolutely have to run from the previous game and Adam talks about his mindset on going into the game with the lowest possible expectations to help set up any postgame reaction.
The guys also discuss the interest in Seahawks coaches and how that may or may not be a distraction to the team in preparing for this week's game. Adam and Brandan disagree on which coach the team would miss most.
With the Seahawks holding the #1 seed in 2005, former defensive tackle Craig Terrill comes on the show to talk to Adam and Brandan about what players are going through leading up to this week's game. He offers his thoughts on this team's defensive line, what it was like practicing against two great Seahawks offensive linemen and his perspective on different coaching styles having played for Coach Holmgren, Mora and Carroll.
In the "do better" segment, Adam shares a story about a 49ers fan who is so passionate about her team that she was ready to fight him and Brandan targets the 49ers organization for bringing in a sub-par motivational speaker. Better at life this week focuses on the bay-area team in the AFC and Marshawn Lynch's handling of his fine for not speaking to reporters.
