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

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. What could the Seahawks have learned from that performance against the Patriots both in terms of attacking the Steelers defense and the key to slowing down Big Ben early in this game.

261: Seahawks trade for Jadeveon Clowney to kick off the season and no 2019 draft pick gets cut

The 2019 NFL season has officially arrived and the Seahawks started with a huge move and building up what looked like one of their biggest weaknesses in the preseason. Jadeveon Clowney is now a member of the Seahawks and eventually Adam will learn how to pronounce his name. Brandan and Adam take a look at the surprises of the 53-man man roster and give credit to the Seahawks general manager John Schneider for making some significant moves to start the season, but also landing all of his 2019 draft picks. Not a single one was cut, although two head to the PUP list to start the season.

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.
