277: The Decaf Metcalf Show 12/12/2019

277: The Decaf Metcalf Show Turning the corner from Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, @Seahawkscrazy on Twitter helps out by taking the blame for the loss this past week. Shaquille Griffin mentioned after the game that the Seahawks needed to be taken down from their high horse they'd been riding on. Considering Seattle was coming off wins over the 49ers, a tough Eagles defense and a Monday night win over the Vikings, maybe they were due for the first road loss of the season. But did it have to come against the Rams when there is a game against the Panthers that could have served the same purpose? Despite their 5-8 record, there is a lot of talent on the Carolina Panthers team considering Christian McCaffery was being talked about as an MVP candidate earlier on this season. Quarterback Kyle Allen has come back to Earth after a show he put on earlier this season. The Panthers have a couple future Hall of Fame players on their defense, but have one of the league's worst teams against the run and that should allow Seattle to help get back on track after struggling to put up points on the Rams. Before the season started, one question we had was who would be taking over the Doug Baldwin role as Russell Wilson's favorite third down target. In 2012 it was Sidney Rice, Golden Tate took over in 2013 and then the next four years belonged to Doug Baldwin. Tyler Lockett looked like he would move into that spot considering he had it last year when Baldwin was injured, but that has not been the direction Wilson has gone the most on third down this season. In the second half of the show we talk about a couple of the latest roster moves for the Seahawks, we take a look at the latest controversy the Patriots have stepped into and we talk about the All-Time NFL Top 100 list and how Walter Jones could have the best chance for any Seahawks player to make that list.

276: Seahawks vs Rams quick reaction - Sleeping and jet sweeping 12/09/2019

275: The Seahawks move into first place in the NFC West after win vs Vikings, 49ers loss to Ravens 12/05/2019

275: The Seahawks move into first place in the NFC West after win vs Vikings, 49ers loss to Ravens For just the 12th time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks have now won 10 or more games. Russell Wilson has helped to make that happen as he has been the quarterback for 7 of those 12 double digit winning seasons. The latest 10 win season comes after a 37-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Although the Seahawks were down at halftime, it was clear the defense had Cousins, Cook and Diggs bottled up in the first half outside of the first and last drives of the first half. A huge third quarter propelled Seattle to a three-score lead in the fourth quarter, but as we've learned to expect, no lead is ever safe. Looking ahead to the Sunday Night Football game against the Rams, Seattle will look to continue their 3-0 prime time streak, Carroll's streak of undefeated games in prime time in December, and Pete's next win has a chance to be his 100th victory on a field that helped propel him back into the NFL as the coach for the Seahawks. To get the win the Seahawks will have to find a way to keep Aaron Donald in check, put pressure on Jared Goff and deal with a new piece of the Rams puzzle with Jalen Ramsey now at corner. Closing out the first half of the show, we discuss the injury that Jadeveon Clowney is dealing with and somewhat recent context of what Marshawn Lynch went through at the end of the 2015 season. It may be an injury that Clowney will decide to fight through until the offseason. In the second half of the show, we talk more about how the playoff picture is shaping up for the Seahawks. We also congratulate those who have won the last few weeks in the pick'em. Week 10 - Playoff Bound just Locket In - Week 11 - Colchester Hawk - Week 12 - Piggie0072 - Week 13 - Ifedi’s Gentle Shoves - Do better nominees this week are for power rankings who consistently have the Seahawks at the bottom of the list of 10-2 teams in the NFL because of score differential and O.J. Simpson for his description of how the MVP race in shaping up between Lamar Jackson and Russell Wilson. Better at life honors go out to our Ring of Honor and Slack group and to Russell Wilson for what he has the opportunity to do over the final quarter of the NFL season.

274: Dalvin Cook gives the Vikings a style the Ravens, Saints had in their wins over the Seahawks 11/30/2019

272: Three is the overtime charm for the Seahawks, the return of Pete Prisco 11/16/2019

272: Three is the overtime charm for the Seahawks, the return of Pete Prisco The Seahawks go into overtime for a second straight week and it didn't have to be that way. The Seahawks offense had a chance to draw the game down to a final field goal in regulation, and that was after multiple plays went the 49ers way that kept the game from being a Seattle landslide. Once again, it was a slow start on offense for Seattle as they didn't score on offense until the second half and needed a short field to do it on multiple occasions. The 49ers defense showed up, but so did the Seahawks and Jadeveon Clowney. Adam is back from his long road trip and in his usual studio and saw a series of play calling that he enjoyed much more than what he saw against the Tampa Bay Bucs. We try and get to all of the biggest moments of the game, from huge plays by the 49ers to strip D.K. Metcalf, the interceptions or missed interceptions that could have sealed the game, and Russell Wilson who made the play in the end to set up Jason Myers for the game-winning score. Following the game, Pete Prisco gave us some material for a return to Prisco's World as he makes some head scratching moves in his weekly power rankings. We talk about how the Rams may be in serious trouble now in the division after losing on the road to the Steelers, and a 49ers fan emailed in before the game to give his prediction for the Monday Night Football outcome. The second half of the show discusses the shift from next Sunday's prime time game to an early morning start as the NFL moves the Packers and Niners into the spot Seattle previously held. A big welcome to our newest members of the flock from getintheflock.com and seahawkerspodcast.com/support. In do better we take a look at some commentary from First Take and one of the latest reports from the fallout of Thursday Night Football. Better at life honors go to the Seattle Sounders for their championship and to Ken Norton Jr. for getting the defense fired up for Monday's victory.

271: Sit back and continue to enjoy the Russell Wilson show 11/09/2019

271: Sit back and continue to enjoy the Russell Wilson show There were some things to like in last Sunday's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Russell Wilson notched is fourth "stat" of this season. He's never had more than four during the regular season in his career, so with the Seahawks going into a really touch stretch in their final seven weeks of the schedule, the expectation is that he should be able to reach his personal best. There were also some things not to like about the last game. Jason Myers missed three kicks, the defense had a hard time stopping a quarterback who may be in his last year with the team, and Adam took issue with how the game was called in certain situations. Two guys you can't be mad at after this game were Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. In the win, Metcalf had the fourth best game of any Seahawks rookie receiver, behind only Brian Blades, Doug Baldwin and Steve Largent. There's still a chance for him to improve his position and continue to lead all NFL rookie receivers. Looking ahead to the matchup with the 49ers, Russell Wilson is facing one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL and a group of corners who are playing well against the pass. Considering how the 49ers have been playing, the guys address if this feels like a must-win game if Seattle wants to finish on top of the NFC West. Adam is still on travel and dialing in on the hotel phone and we get to hear of an encounter on Bourbon Street that led to Adam taking a bottle to the face. Brandan takes issue with an NFL Network graphic highlighting the MVP candidates. Better at life honors go out to a study that called out his least favorite NBA team and Brandan has a pro tip for Veteran's Day on Monday.

270: The Seahawks defense has a YAC problem, but Coach Carroll prefers other base defense stats 11/01/2019

270: The Seahawks defense has a YAC problem, but Coach Carroll prefers other base defense stats This week we're talking Seahawks football as Adam dials in during his drive across Nebraska to discuss the Seahawks 27-20 win over the Falcons. But even in victory, there were questions that came up about how far the Seattle defense can carry this team as it's currently operating. Coach Carroll, in his weekly press conference, talked about how the team his ranking high on stopping opponents on third down. Seattle is also among the top teams in the league when it comes to holding teams to field goals or no points inside the red zone. However, one of the stats that jumps off the page is the number of yards after the catch (YAC) the Seahawks are giving up and which players the opposing pass catchers appear to be targeting most. So does this test the mantra the show has stuck with consistently that yards don't matter? Thanks to Ron Evans from the How Bizarre podcast for helping support our reminder with a show jingle. We also look ahead to the Sunday matchup with the Bucs and if quarterback Jameis Winston will continue turning the ball over especially considering how turnover prone Seattle has been in its two losses at home. Thanks to associate producer Flocktimus Prime for his lyrical stylings with a Tom Petty parody tune that calls out anyone who isn't part of the podcast flock. And thanks to Montana and Nebraska for being states that give us a reason to call them out in the do better segment. Better at life honors go to LeBron James and to the Seahawks linebacker tandem for reaching a notable milestone.

269: Seahawks trade for safety help, Russell can build on his bounce-back win stat vs Falcons 10/24/2019

269: Seahawks trade for safety help, Russell can build on his bounce-back win stat vs Falcons With the NFL Trade deadline still a few days away, the Seahawks have made a trade with the Detroit Lions to bring in Quandre Diggs to help with the struggling safety group. Adam and Brandan evaluate the trade as well as how the roster is currently constructed on defense. Detroit Lions fans appear to be upset about the trade and they've found one of the better online reactions to play on the show. Looking back to the Ravens game, Adam points out the turning point where things really started to go downhill for the Seahawks and the moment wasn't the Russell Wilson interception (which may have taken Russ out of the MVP discussion now that he's no longer perfect on the season). One thing Wilson is - one of the best at coming back and getting a win the week after taking a loss. But it's possible, based on what we've seen from the team previously, is that this could be another frustrating victory. In the second half of the show, we welcome some new members of the flock, read some email that came in from the past week and discuss a potential trade target for the defensive line. Do better call outs go to a high school coach who lost his job over some serious integrity issues, and to the Jets for whining about Darnold's audio that was broadcast during the game.

268: Russell Wilson has Tom Brady in his sights, Earl Thomas returns, and Prisco's World's collide 10/17/2019

268: Russell Wilson has Tom Brady in his sights, Earl Thomas returns, and Prisco's World's collide After another outstanding performance by Russell Wilson on Sunday, we take some time kicking off this week's episode with a look at some of the milestones that Russ has reached so far and one on the horizon that Tom Brady has held for about 10 years. We also look at one of the position groups that is playing at a high level that maybe didn't have the highest expectations coming into the 2019 season. And looking back at the Browns game, we highlight two of the top plays that should make the year-end highlight reel. Since it seems as though everyone wants to point fingers at the officials, we find a list from a Browns fan who details his biggest officiating complaints and we go down the list on the ones we agree and disagree with. Moving beyond that we look ahead to the Sunday matchup with the Baltimore Ravens and discuss Earl Thomas and the move we probably won't see from Pete Carroll when he sees ET3 back at CenturyLink for the first time. This episode may mark the final time that we visit Prisco's World, because now the lines are blurring of whether or not we're living in his world or he's living in ours. We hear from little mch, and Adam asks the question of what it might take to get Von Miller on the Seahawks. In the Do Better segment Adam goes after People Magazine, and Brandan goes after a new term that's getting a lot of attention based on the poor officiating. Better at life honors go to the Rams general manager for continuing to make bad moves and to the Seattle Dragons for picking up two former Seahawks receivers who were fan favorites. Topics include: Russell Wilson's growing list of accomplishments (1:34) Wide receiver group has been impressive (4:15) Two favorite plays from the Browns game (12:50) Russell Wilson has one thing left to perfect (16:50) Browns fan complaints about the refs (21:46) Best team of the AFC North coming to Seattle next (30:26) Ravens get Marcus Peters in Rams trade flurry (34:53) Past matchups with the Baltimore Ravens (37:50) Seahawks defense matching up against the Ravens offense (40:08) Earl Thomas returns to CenturyLink (45:35) Ravens 2003 comeback against the Seahawks in Baltimore (48:22) Are we now living in Prisco's World?

267: Seahawks vs. Browns - Ride or die. Ride or die. 10/14/2019

266: Russell Wilson emerges as MVP candidate, win at Cleveland would match Seahawks best road start 10/10/2019

266: Russell Wilson emerges as MVP candidate, win at Cleveland would match Seahawks best road start Nearly a week after the Seahawks game, Brandan and Adam help re-live some of the top moments from the game by pulling up the Steve Raible highlights. Will Dissly and D.K. Metcalf had two of the longest catches on the day, while Tyler Lockett and Tedrick Thompson competed for who had the most spectacular catch. In previewing the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns, we take a look at the pass rushers and how the Seahawks are going from a defensive line full of players who can cause the Seahawks problems to one or two players who are disruptive on the Browns defensive line. The Browns secondary has been struggling with injury issues, but could get two of their young players back this week. On the offensive side of the ball, the Seahawks need to stop the run to have success and just how poorly has Mayfield performed while under pressure? After the break, we look at some of the history between the Seahawks and Browns and how the Seahawks could match a road record that goes all the way back to 1980 with a win in Cleveland on Sunday. This week's 'Do Better' segment features Ziggy Ansah and a variety of backup options that were available to the Steelers on Sunday instead of a motorized cart. We close the show by honoring the Seahawks general manager as well as NFL analyst David Carr for appropriately vaulting Russell Wilson to the appropriate spot in his offensive player rankings. Topics discussed: The play that set up the Seahawks first touchdown (4:03) Tyler Lockett continues to make the Baldwin plays (6:26) D.K. Metcalf finds the end zone once again (9:45) National media finally recognizing Russell as an MVP candidate (11:48) Potential for a new QB Advanced Stat (15:35) Clowney helps the Seahawks win the turnover battle (19:46) Seahawks win in the red zone (22:44) Rooting for the 49ers versus the Rams (24:48) Sunday's matchup versus the Browns (26:11) A look at Cleveland's pass rush (27:36) What stood out from the Browns game versus the 49ers (31:41) Will the Browns get their two top corners back for this game?

265: Clowney has his first big moment vs Arizona, Seahawks efforts in the red zone are key vs Rams 10/03/2019

265: Clowney has his first big moment vs Arizona, Seahawks efforts in the red zone are key vs Rams The Seahawks finish the month of September at 3-1 with Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. They earn their first win over an NFC West rival and now they have the chance to do the same thing on a short week against the Los Angeles Rams. The guys preview the matchup against these hated rivals and Adam explains how a win here goes a long way to shifting the balance of power back toward the Seahawks in the division. Before we get to the Rams discussion, Adam discovers what he has learned about the different running styles between Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny and how Carson maintains his balance while taking big hits. Jadeveon Clowney has his first signature moment as a member of the Seahawks in the win against Arizona. Also, the Seahawks have two players among the leaders in end zone targets. However, only one of those players has multiple touchdown conversions. With the Rams coming to town, it looks like they've taken a step back from previous seasons in some respects, but can Pete Carroll finally figure out how he wants to defend the Rams offense after being so close last season. The biggest concerns are the Rams defensive line as well as their wide receiving corps, though Shaquill Griffin seems to be taking a big step toward being a star. We cut the show a bit short this week as the Cardinals are called out to do better and the Seahawks tight end from Montana earns a nod in Better at Life for his unselfish touchdown celebration on Sunday. Topics include: Seahawks vs Cardinals as a quick summary (1:13) Adam explains the different run styles between Carson and Penny (4:20) What to expect from the Seahawks run game versus the Rams (5:56) Two Seahawks among NFL leaders in red zone targets (8:21) Jadeveon Clowney has his first signature moment for the Seahawks (12:27) Previewing the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks (16:31) The Los Angeles Rams and their favorite play to run (22:12) How a win Thursday puts the Seahawks in position for the division crown (30:21) The Rams defensive line vs the Seahawks offensive line is a huge concern (31:37) Shaquill Griffin taking next step toward defensive stardom (36:27) The Seahawks have a statistical edge in key areas through four games (40:27) The Seahawks are better when playing in their base defense (44:27) Paul Allen to become the 12th member of the Seahawks Ring of Honor (51:13) We really screwed up last week (53:25) Week 4 Pickem results (54:12) Called out for missing out on a show tradition after loss to the Saints (56:35) Do Better: Arizona Cardinals and their Ring of Honor (1:01:14) Better at Life: Will Dissly knows how to celebrate TDs (1:07:42) Subscribe via: | | | | | Follow us on: | Or listen on our free app for , , or Call or text: 253-235-9041 Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com Support the show Get in the Flock!

264: Every aggressive Seahawks play call backfires, yet another reminder that yards don’t matter 09/27/2019

264: Every aggressive Seahawks play call backfires, yet another reminder that yards don’t matter As Seahawks fans are coping with the first September loss at home in the Pete Carroll era, Adam and Brandan are looking for who to blame. When the opposing team scores in every phase of the game and you need more than one hand to count some of the questionable coaching moves in the game, the answer is clear. But a majority of those coaching calls came down to playing an aggressive style of football. Except for a decision to not call timeout at the end of the first half and a decision to not go for a two-point conversion late in the game. Those calls are still a bit tough to explain. Luke Willson is back on the team for the Seahawks and says that Techno Thursday will return, but Bobby Wagner may be the wet blanket that keeps that as something of the past. Russell Wilson threw for more than 400 yards and demonstrated once again how yards don't matter. The guys preview Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals and what to expect from Arizona's offense through the first few games. In the closing segments of the show, Brandan calls out a Redskins employee in charge of Gatorade and Adam says the NFL went too far by banning pyrotechnics. Better at life nods go to a young Seahawks fan who made a trip out to Seattle and to Nelson Agholor for inviting a critical fan to an upcoming game. Topics discussed: Who to blame for the first loss of the season (2:17) Michael Dickson having a sophomore slump (4:58) Seven coaching decisions that made a difference (6:45) Excitement for the return of Luke Willson to the Seahawks (8:12) Seahawks timeout blunder at the end of the first half (10:54) Why weren't the Saints called for offensive pass interference (15:38) Adam rants on what the Seahawks should do on 4th and short (18:27) Russell Wilson throws for more than 400 yards (24:43) No noticeable pass rush versus the Saints (26:42) Adam proposes a new rule for using the term undefeated (32:14) What's the importance of a Week 4 win against Arizona (33:52) What to look for with the Cardinals offense (37:34) Why isn't the Cardinals offensive line better with this style offense (39:51) Chandler Jones and the Cardinals defense (41:37) Prosise may be making a move for RB1 (46:27) Seahawks transactions (51:35) Welcome to the Flock (55:51) Week 3 Pickem Winner (58:31) Do Better: Redskins employee stirring Gatorade (1:15:45) Do Better: A blanket ban on pyrotechnics (1:18:48) Better at life: Seahawks fan Griffin Cherniss (1:22:20) Better at life: Nelson Agholor (1:24:51) Subscribe via: | | | | | Follow us on: | Or listen on our free app for , , or Call or text: 253-235-9041 Email: gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com Support the show Get in the Flock!

263: Jalen Ramsey trade intrigue, Saints without Brees still a threat for 2-0 Seahawks 09/19/2019

263: Jalen Ramsey trade intrigue, Saints without Brees still a threat for 2-0 Seahawks After a 28-26 victory on Sunday, Russell Wilson, for just the second time in his career, is taking the a 2-0 Seahawks team into Week 3 of the NFL season. On top of that, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks are 15-0 at home in September and they're coming back home to take on the New Orleans Saints. Adam and Brandan talk about the Wilson's dominant performance against the Steelers and why Seahawks fans can likely expect another close game even though the Saints will be without future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees. As part of the NFL's 100th season, the Seahawks are taking votes for the top play in the history of the team. Is the number one spot an easy decision? According to the early returns, there are two plays that are dominating the votes. Closing out the show, Adam has words for a Canadian who tried to fight a grizzly bear and Brandan joins a former Seahawks running back in his frustration over throwback jerseys. Adam honors a team of scientists who came up with an breakthrough idea for a lunar elevator. Brandan highlights a college football fan's desire for beer money that turned into an amazing fundraiser for kids.

262: DK Metcalf's record performance vs Cincinnati and how a road win is key to a Super Bowl victory 09/14/2019

262: DK Metcalf's record performance vs Cincinnati and how a road win is key to a Super Bowl victory With less than 36 hours before a Week 2 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, have Seahawks fans had enough time to cool off after a narrow victory over the Cincinnati Bengals? There were some frustrating moments in this game, but the team was able to pull out the win and the defense was able to hold their opponent to just three points in the second half. Seahawks fans can be excited that DK Metcalf lived up to the hype by breaking a record held by the greatest wide receiver in Seahawks history. The Steelers are coming off an embarrassing loss to New England, and historically that was been bad news for their opponents when they play at home the following week.

260: Hype around possible Jadeveon Clowney trade to the Seahawks, preseason week 3 frustrations With the Seahawks pass rush looking like a potential weakness for the team, this week's show focuses on the hype around a possible trade for Jadeveon Clowney and why it makes a lot of sense for the team.

259: Seahawks show improved o-line play in loss to Vikings, problems with secondary and injuries 08/22/2019

259: Seahawks show improved o-line play in loss to Vikings, problems with secondary and injuries The Seattle Seahawks lost 25-19 against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 of the preseason game on Sunday. Despite coming out on the losing end, Adam talks about how he views it as a win when considering how fans got to see Russell Wilson with time behind his offensive line. Even Ethan Pocic, the least experienced of the offensive lineman, showed improvement over last season. While Wilson played only a limited number of series before handing the ball to Paxton Lynch, the vanilla style of preseason play was far less tasty with the former first round pick at the helm. Poona Ford was a bright spot on the defensive line. Chris Carson looked like his dominant self and contrasted to the hesitation seen as Rashaad Penny had trouble getting going behind the second team offensive line. Hopefully, we see what Penny can do behind the starters when the Seahawks play the Chargers on Saturday. The Seahawks corners were not dominant versus one of the top receiving tandems in the league, but it did give Coach Carroll a chance to learn what to consider when throwing a challenge flag on a non-call of offensive pass interference. The guys talk through the new ability to challenge calls through the lens of a past non-call by officials. For those looking to join our annual pickem league, and haven't already, you can go to seahawkerspodcast.com/pickem, use the League ID of 18882 and entry code of shp12. Hopefully someone has a contact with Yahoo, because the issue of having to combine groups now could end up being a challenge. To close out the show we find out that the Rams now have a possible acronym for their top corners. Instead of LOB, they can be the POMCB. Kirk Cousins' complaints about his center's sweaty backside have been voiced and Adam suggests possible testing of SAW at the combine to help avoid this issue in the future. Tune in to learn about all these new acronyms. Better at life honors go to the developers of a new solar powered aircraft and to a long-time member of the Flock for his latest email and a very helpful chapter in the book he shared with Adam and Brandan.

258: Cutting down the Vikings and other NFC opponents, revisiting the six phases of football 08/16/2019

258: Cutting down the Vikings and other NFC opponents, revisiting the six phases of football The Seahawks face off against the Vikings on Saturday and are coming off their annual preseason win over the Broncos (though they didn't play them last year until the regular season). We discuss some of the things that stood out from the Broncos game and how that performance by Paxton Lynch didn't excited Adam at all about the potential for solidifying the backup spot behind Russell Wilson. Talking about the Vikings gets Adam to the point of cutting down just about every other NFC team that he can think of who might be considered contenders. Brandan talks about the Zeke Elliott contract situation and how this could be a preview of what to expect for a running back like Chris Carson who could be forced into a similar situation because running backs have to try and get paid before they start to approach 30 years old. Thanks to Kofi for posting a great video that is best to be watched and not listened to, because he adds to the production value, check it out on YouTube here: We talk about where we've been over the past week, how to get into the pick'em league this year, and after welcoming some new members of the flock we talk about what to expect from the show this season with Adam's increased in-season workload. Russell Wilson gets a do better nod for his latest hairstyle in a recent video as Adam goes after the hotel he's in for not having a functioning elevator. Adam gives some positive recognition to one of the first places he worked in his current profession and Brandan honors Russell Wilson to close out the show for his latest investment into the Seattle sports scene.

257: 2019 Season Expectations 08/02/2019

257: 2019 Season Expectations Officially kicking off the 2019 season of the podcast with our annual "season expectations" show. Adam and Brandan talk about where they have questions and concerns and what to expect from the team this year in terms of play calling on offense and, even with some big departures, why the defense will continue to be in the top half of the league for points allowed. One thing that is much different from past seasons is that there are more concerns on defense than the offense, particularly because the offensive line seems to be solidified and relatively unchanged from the previous year. Fans can also expect the coordinator to have a better feel for the offense, something it took Brian Schottenheimer time to get a feel for last season. On defense, Adam says that although the defensive line has some of the bigger questions with injuries and suspensions, he's more concerned about the defensive backs. Brandan is concerned about where the turnovers are going to come from this season, because that was one of the biggest reasons for the team's success on that side of the ball last year. In the second half (final third?) of the show the guys have a solution for the continued complaint surrounding the microphones at the preseason press conferences. We also talk about the status of Michael Kendricks going into the season. Do better nods go to "the Skynet of bars" and to Mina Kimes for going to the dark side of the force for at least the preseason. Better at life honors go to a North Koreans soldier who Shawshank-ed his way to South Korea and to Bobby Wagner for his new deal keeping him in Seattle through 2022.

255: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival, with Oscar of the Better Rivals Podcast **Note: It's that time of year when you can nominate the Sea Hawkers Podcast in the Sports category of the 14th Annual Podcast Awards. Go to podcastawards.com to register and submit for our show to compete as the top sports podcast. Continuing our Know Your Rival series, this week we discuss the third place team from the NFC West in 2018. The San Francisco 49ers are hoping for a full season out of their starting quarterback this year after losing him early in the season due to an injury. Oscar of the Better Rivals podcast joins us to let us know that Handsome Jimmy will be expected to run out of bounds this year. We start by taking a look at the defense, and the 49ers have a clear strength on their defensive line with five first round picks including the number two overall pick in 2019. We discuss whether it will be enough to make up for some of the deficiencies in the secondary and where some of the biggest concerns are when it comes to San Francisco's defense. Special teams also has a number of questions considering their franchise kicker is holding out and we get Oscar's take on selecting a punter in the fourth round of the draft. To top it all off, their long snapper got popped for PED use! On offense, they looked for more help at wide receiver early on in the draft as well as through free agency. The have a strong group of running backs and a competent offensive line. Will that line be able to keep Jimmy healthy enough for a full season and will the young receivers develop into a solid unit. We get Oscar's take on all of the new faces. After backing up their talk (and also my talk last week) the U.S. Women are World Cup Champions and earn the Better at Life honors on this week's show.

254: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival, with Bo Brack of Locked on Cardinals 07/04/2019

254: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival, with Bo Brack of Locked on Cardinals An annual tradition for the show kicks off this week as we bring on fellow podcasters from rival NFC West teams in the month of July. This year we kick things off with the team that finished at the bottom of the division, but a team that may have the most intriguing offseason. Bo Brack of the Locked on Cardinals podcast joins the show to talk about a team that had made a lot of moves this offseason. Not only have they made moves in free agency, but they had the first overall draft pick with Kyler Murray. With 2018 Seahawks backup quarterback Brett Hundley as the only other QB seemingly providing competition at the spot in Arizona this year, it looks as though Murray is a lock to be the Week 1 starter. Brandan and Bo talk about any concerns about making sure Murray has a more veteran presence to try and overcome to ensure he really earns that starting spot. With Patrick Peterson suspended for the first six games of the season, including the first matchup with the Seahawks in week 4, it looks as though former Huskies corner Byron Murphy could be lining up as a starter. Bo explains why the schedule lines up favorably for the second round pick to ease his way into the starting role. After breaking down each position, the guys gets into what really matters, ranking the most handsome coaches in the NFC West. Kingsbury joins a division with Carroll, Shanahan and McVay, which clearly makes the West a lock for the best looking group of head coaches in the league. We also make Bo predict the finishing order for each of the teams in the NFC West. Lastly, we recognize former Seahawks owner Ken Behring who passed away this week at the age of 91. After he sold the team to Paul Allen, Behring went on to be involved with some philanthropic endeavors that earn him Better at Life honors for this week.
