Summary

With the Seahawks 48-45 performance against the Detroit Lions, it helped earn several players league-wide recognition for their performance. Geno Smith was named player of the week, Rashaad Penny earned the honor of the ground player of the week and Tariq Woolen was among the finalists for top defensive honors. But was that good football overall? And how did it compare to the shootout we watched a few years back between the Chiefs and Rams?

There is some optimism that the Seahawks may be able to turn things around defensively with a few players who were injured early in the season working their way back into the lineup. There are also reason to believe that the Seahawks offense and Geno Smith can have sustained success. Geno is officially on the Rich Gannon late-career surge watch list. If you don't know who Gannon is, we explain.

The Seahawks will face a difficult test on the road this week though as they take on the New Orleans Saints. Pete Carroll has lost three straight regular season games against the Saints and Geno was at the helm the last time these two teams faced. Will Alvin Kamara play this week and what would his presence mean toward the game's outcome? Can Nick Vannett be the relatively anonymous tight end this week that destroys the Seahawks defense?

In the second half of the show, we take a look at the state of the Los Angeles Rams as they suffered yet another loss to the 49ers. Which 2-2 team in the NFC West is in the driver seat for the conference title? There was one moment from that Monday Night Football that will be etched in our memory though and we discuss it in both the Do Better and Better at Life segments on this week's show.

0:10.7	I'm Brandon Shultz of the military Seahawkers, and joining me from the road, my good buddy
0:16.4	and Montana Seahawker, Adam Emmert.
0:19.2	Yeah, man, I'm multitasking on this podcast, dude, just cruising down I-90, just dropping, you know, Seahawker, Adam Emmert. Yeah, man, I'm multitasking on this podcast, dude.
0:21.8	Just cruising down I-90, just dropping, you know, Seahawks knowledge on y'all.
0:26.2	It's a good time.
0:28.0	A little bit like this weekend, the Seahawks with the win, they did not multitask.
0:33.1	They only did one thing this weekend, and that was play offense.
0:36.2	But it does put them right in the thick
0:38.9	of maybe the most mediocre division of football of NFC West.
0:43.1	This has been a fun start to the year with this mediocre division.
0:47.2	Now, I know you and I, when we went into the season, we were doing our offseason previews of
0:53.0	what we might expect from the division,
0:56.2	we kind of expected the Rams to, yeah, be kind of mediocre, the 49ers to maybe not be that great,
1:03.9	especially with Trey Lance being at the helm, but he's no longer at the helm.

1:13.7	right in the thick of the NFC West and man oh man. Who is going to win this division? I don't know.
1:19.9	We can get into that part of it in the second half of the show. Not the Cardinals. But yes,
1:24.5	it's definitely not going to be the Cardinals. You're not wrong about this team doing just one thing, not multitasking.
1:34.1	The Seahawks offense, they lit it up against the Detroit Lions defense, scoring 41 of the 48 points, because one of those was a defensive score.
1:44.1	And this offense, they were getting it done against a really bad Detroit Lions defense.
1:52.0	I am, I'm excited about the offense.
