Is this the beginning of Hawkpocalypse 2.0? Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos, Bobby Wagner released from the Seahawks. Could there be more trades to come for Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf? Those are questions going through the minds of so many Seahawks fans after the first week of March. Even if it's just Russ and Bobby, it an end of an era in Seattle.

As this era comes to a close, should it be the same regime that rebuilds? Whether or not it should be, it looks as though it must have the stamp of approval from ownership. Drew Lock, though part of the trade package, is not an answer at quarterback. We hear from our resident quarterback whisperer on the one player in the league who he'd throw his hat in with. Also, because this feels like a breakup, what qualities in a quarterback should we avoid when looking for a new leader on offense?

In the second half of the show we have a brief talk about why it's not quite time to memorialize Bobby Wagner's time in Seattle, and why it deserves its own show in the future. Instead, we move on to important topics like the best place to ambush someone, because a place in the pickem league prize draft is on the line.  Adam closes the show with a Do Better for the franchise after an emotional day for Seahawks fans.

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog checks in to talk about a draft strategy for Seattle heading into this year's NFL Combine. Where do they need to improve and what position groups should they target to improve where it could count most in 2022? It turns out that the area where the Seahawks need to improve most (on the offensive and defensive line) are particular strengths for this year's draft class. While there may not be the obvious top talent, there are some significant areas to add depth.

Finding an interior pass rusher could prove difficult where the Seahawks sit in the second round, but there are options on the edge and Rob lists several players to watch over the weekend along with the drills that Pete Carroll and John Schneider have paid attention to historically. If Seattle were to pass on improving either line with their first pick, where are some other areas they could go and see immediate upgrades? Could an early pick supplant a long-time starter for Seattle? One thing is for sure, Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt have talked about being aggressive and that most likely leads to searching for improvements on defense in the draft.

The Seattle Seahawks are shaking up the coaching staff on the defensive side of the football this offseason. What does it mean for potential changes schematically and what questions still remain? Clint Hurtt provided some thoughts toward issues we all saw this past season, but just how much input did he have in fixing those issues while they were happening this year? It's not just Hurtt who will look to make an impact on this Seahawks defense. Sean Desai and Karl Scott are a couple new faces and their numbers from their previous teams aren't matching up with the hype around them.

On offense, Tim Hasselbeck says Russell Wilson is done in Seattle and will take over in Pittsburgh next season. However, he glosses over a critical part about why the move work for both teams. Former Steelers defensive back Ryan Clark says Russ isn't “great” and shouldn't be in the conversation among the great QBs. Quandre Diggs is going to be a free agent, but he had a response for Clark that has us ready to push a contract in front of him immediately.

In the second half of the show we talk about the recovery process of dealing with some emotional football moments. We also list the Top 5 teams in the pick'em competition for the 2021 season as well as the weekly winners. There are a lot of people who still need to “Do Better” for how the season finished and Shaun White needs to stop making us feel old. Better at life honors go to a team that destroyed an ongoing narrative about quarterback salaries in the NFL and to a site that is correctly covering what will happen in the near future with Russell Wilson.

While watching Satan's Championship last weekend, we learned some things about ourselves that we're not proud to admit. Regardless, we discuss how we ended up having some disappointment surrounding the outcome with the Los Angeles Rams going to the Super Bowl. Can the Cincinnati Bengals save us from what feels inevitable?

The news about the Seahawks defensive coordinator spot came out after we recorded this week, and we discuss the situation around former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. While that may not have prevented him from taking a job in Seattle, his lawsuit didn't have any impact on our desire for him to take over coaching the Seahawks defense.

Richard Sherman says that fans ready to move on from Pete Carroll need to be careful about what they wish for. He also seems to have heard from enough Seahawks fans about his departure and speculation about when it's time to move on from a star player that he went on a significant rant on his podcast with Cliff Avril as his guest.

Hopefully next year at this time, we're talking about how silly it was to even be discussing the idea of moving on from Coach Carroll. Russell Wilson seems to have burned to the ground any concerns about whether or not his finger will cause him to have any lingering accuracy issues as he dominated the Pro Bowl skills competition. A worldwide developer and Scott Zolak need to do better this week. Alternatively, an owl and his Montana friend along with Richard Sherman are all better at life.
