Summary
Brock and Salk share some laughs about the very long Mike Macdonald pause during their conversation yesterday and compare it to the pause in their interview from a couple of years ago with former UW defensive tackle Vita Vea. They then dive further in to Sam darnold, and the idea of viewing him more as a football player rather than a quarterback specifically. In Blue 88, Brock takeas a look at some of the attitude that Mike Macdonald has learned from John Schneider, what led to the end of Pete Carroll's time with the Raiders and which head coaching job would be most enticing for Klint Kubiak.
