info_outlineRussell Wilson has a record-setting performance this week in a 28-26 loss to a division rival. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the special teams plays that sunk the Seahawks this week, problems with the Seahawks pass rush and the sudden departure of Percy Harvin.
The Carolina Panthers are next up on the schedule and might be just the right team for Seattle to play to get back into the win column. A Panthers defense that was the strength of the team last season is now struggling and they have injuries among other problems on the offensive line. Sound familiar. A bit, but things seem to be much worse in Carolina.
The guys interview former Seahawks kicker Norm Johnson and talk about everything from his recent work in creating a craft beer for Seahawks fans -- The 12 Man Pale Ale -- to one of his best memories in helping the Seahawks reach the playoffs for the first time back in 1983.
With the recent Percy Harvin trade, Norm talks about the difference certain guys can make in the locker room as Brian Bosworth was one of his least favorite guys to play with in Seattle. He discusses how he had the exact opposite experience with Deion Sanders during his time with the Falcons.
The guys give this week's picks and talk about plans to add a second show to the week by breaking out the pick'em segment into a show scheduled for release on Thursdays tentatively titled "SHP: NFL Full 32."
Earl Thomas and Peyton Manning get "do better" nods this week and DeMarco Murray and Russell Wilson are "better at life" for each accomplishing something no player has ever done in the NFL.
