Summary

The AL West is up for grabs this season, all the teams are similar spots, and the Mariners are the only team in the division to not make any big offseason moves. The Mariners have the pitching but are behind all other teams in offense. // Need to Know: Both Geno Smith and Ken Walker were full participants in practice yesterday and that is great news for the Seahawks. The Mariners offseason has been slow, when will they make their first big acquisition? The College Football Playoffs are here and who do we think will get upset? // How do the Seahawks get their running game back on track? Is this a problem of commitment or attacking a defense in the wrong way? The Seahawks are up against a big opponent in the Vikings. Will we see more play actions in Ryan Grubb’s playbook? // Blue 88: Marine Layer Podcast Edition: How do you get DK Metcalf the ball more? What percent of the offensive snaps do we think Geno Smith will get this week? What upset in the College Football Playoffs that you want to see?

0:34.6

I don't think the West is going to be very good. It's literally there for the

taking. Well, there's a lot of reasons we want to see the Mariners push their chips in, but that is a big

0:43.7

reason now all of a sudden. Yes, the AO West is about to be as weak as we've seen it in years.

0:49.8

The American League, too. Who's the only team right now, you would say, is definitively more talented across the board than the Mariners?

0:59.5

You can try and make an argument for the Yankees, but after losing Juan Soto, they don't have that protection.
