Seattle Seahawks time on the preseason watch list here on the audible.

0:03.9

Cecil Lammy, Sigmund, Sam Darnold, he's not on the show with this, Bloom, but if he was,

0:08.3

he would be talking about his year ahead for Seattle, everything he learned from Kevin O'Connell,

0:13.6

the Minnesota Vikings, and how he's looking to the next chapter of his career.

0:19.0

And Darnold getting out an offer and deal from the Seahawks to be

0:23.3

their franchise quarterback does it work out probably not I'm sorry and hey see well look you've been

0:32.8

telling us for years that the 49ers for one really liked Sam Darnold really thought that he was capable of a lot

0:39.5

and Kevin O'Connell who's connected to that whole Shanahan tree was able to get the most out of him

0:44.3

but what do we see at the end of the year successively two games where they just throw the house at

0:51.9

him and there's the ghosts and there's Sam Darnold.

0:55.2

And not every sack was because of poor offensive line play.

1:39.5

But this isn't the Minnesota offense. This is an offense that's rebuilding, and now the book is out.

1:45.7

Not that the book was that hard to find.

1:47.4

Maybe we just checked out of the library for three months cease.

1:50.2

I don't know, because the book on Darnold now is out there, and you're going to force him to beat him.

1:55.1

Remember, how does Gino Smith end up being one of the fall guys for the offensive problems last year?

2:00.9
