Summary

RUNDOWN

Mitch and Scott kick off Episode 380 bouncing from NFL Draft randomness to a suddenly red-hot Mariners team, while laying out a packed show of Seahawks, Mariners, and Kraken breakdowns. Along the way, Mitch zeroes in on John Schneider's shift from "fancy" to predictable—and why that might actually be the secret sauce behind Seattle's recent success.

Seahawks flips four picks into eight and checks most of its boxes, but the first-round running back raises eyebrows—was it smart roster building or a forced move? Seahawks No-Table dig into Schneider's "fairways and greens" approach, question the risk in the backfield, and spotlight key additions like Bud Clark while hinting that help at edge rusher is still coming.

A sweep in St. Louis flips the vibe fast—suddenly the bats are alive, the lineup is producing, and Seattle looks like a real contender again. Mariners No-Table break down the surge from the big hitters, the rise of Cole Young as a legit everyday piece, and why this stretch could be the turning point—if they keep stacking wins against weaker opponents.

The Kraken's late-season free-fall gets real—what looked like a playoff team turns out to be smoke, mirrors, and unsustainable luck. Kraken No-Table dig into a fragile roster, mixed messaging from leadership, and a franchise stuck between rebuilding and pretending it's close—setting up a pivotal, "prolific" offseason that could finally define a direction.

0:08.4	Mitch unfilcher, the NFL draft hot shots come and gone.
0:11.8	Did you know, and I may be completely wrong on this, I saw this online, and they never

0:17.3	That's right.
0:17.8	Fernando Mendoza, the number one overall pick, the quarterback out of Indiana,
0:21.8	national champion, going to the Raiders, number one overall. The last guy to be chosen, Mr. Irrelevant
0:27.6	is a guy by the name of Red Murdoch. He was a linebacker out of Buffalo that's going to the Broncos
0:34.5	with the 257th and last pick.
0:37.6	So this is what I saw online.

0:53.8	There's no guarantees in any of that. And the people do on the stars and the red. Come on. What do they know? It's not an exact science. They don't know shit. Do they go and see these guys play? Or are they just guessing? I think they're really just guessing. I mean, Steve Edmund wanted to get recruited to Wazoo. I think he was like a red shirt or not a red chip. And then two years later, he's like unblockable and the best player in the entire league. Who the hell knows how any of that stuff works? So there's eight new members of your world champion Seattle Seahawks, including a new featured running back. We're all going to get excited about. The Mariners had an interesting series in St. Louis, got out the brooms that are now red-hot. We're now not crying anymore. It's amazing. We were ready to just pull the plug and then they go sweep St. Louis. Like, who could have saw that? Lots of ground to cover on this episode, 380. We're going to have a bunch of no tables. Seahawks, no table, Henderson,
1:45.1	Bevins on the draft. Mariners no table. Farkas and Doyle on the Mariners sweep in St. Louis.
1:51.3	Cracking, no table, Eskinos and Brown on what the hell is going on with the Cracken? And do we want

2:03.3	As far as the draft is concerned, and he would never admit to this.
2:09.1	Okay.
2:09.5	But I think there's been a shift, a change in John Schneider the last several years.
