Hey, thanks for downloading the Brock and Salk podcast. We're psyched to be back and really proud to have this podcast powered by a

Sen Prime steak and sushi elevated dining with panoramic views and downtown Bellevue. Now on to the show.

That is freaking out wrong. This is Brock and Salk. Brock, you heard and marked, marked, marked, sorry about, just like, my, presented by Carter, Volkswagen and Balor.

Thanks, Seattle sports. Powered through the Alaska Airlines Studio. You heard that exactly Joe Cap there in the pocket. Now, here are your hosts, Brock, you heard and Mike Saul.

Oh, yes, Joe Cap, Brock, you heard himself. What's up, buddy? Good morning. How are you doing? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I'm doing good. Voice feels, sounds a lot better. Yeah, really close to being on the way back.

I listened a little bit on, I watched on Saturday. I felt like you were gripping your way through. Oh, I was fighting, Salk. I had, I had a cop drop in my mouth the whole time. Yeah, just lots of water. Just fighting, you know, sometimes you get, you get a little head cold, you got to fight through it.

It seemed like your audio was low, though, or something. Yeah, my dad called me. He was like, what's going on with Brock's game? I can hardly hear them. Oh, that's not good. That's not what I want to hear. No. I mean, I could, I could see everything, but I couldn't hear you.

That's a production mix, Michael. That's a production mix. We have a production call to today. I will let our, let him know Larry was upset.

He couldn't hear you as well as he wanted to. I was, you know, I was, I had to take a phone call because of that. Yeah, it was, yeah, we can't have that. Would you learn about the Seahawks yesterday? I liked that game. I think I liked it. I think I liked it more than you did. Really? Yeah, I think so. I just kind of really commented. I know you did. I don't know. I found myself really liking it. And I don't know if it was partly because I really needed it as did all of you listening.

After a tough Mariner's weekend, we all just needed that game, needed this team to win, needed them, you know, to, to, to look the part in the second half. They outclassed those Panthers and they did it. What I really liked Mike, it was a little bit like the game I did have Saturday. If you could have heard me, Utah did it without six starters.

And I kept saying in the broadcast, man, if they can do this, they are going to be so much better for it. Right. If you could win a game where you lose your first corner, your third corner, and, you know, you're out there with with Mike Jack and, and, and your first nickel. I mean, you're down three of your top five coverage guys. And yet you go out there and you battle at one point.

One point, Salky, you are down four offensive linemen. I know. At one point, that is your preseason offensive line. And by the way, that's too many. Like when they got to four, that was too much.

Like they could handle three, four was a bridge too far. Well, yes, I can do that. Matt, that's 80% only lonely Evan Brown in there. He's the lonely only left looking around. Like, where is everybody?

And you're down will this late. And it just didn't matter. And they kept operating and they kept plugging. And you know what? They had to settle for field goals. And they didn't score enough touchdowns to separate them in the first half. That's okay. In the second half, they did. And then they did it in a way. And let me just tell you, I saw your text.

I didn't before you, before you even texted, I was out in my chair, Buffalo Wild Wings, Titus had a little fallball baseball game. Molly him and I go to Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards. And when sharpening gourd, that guy into the third row of the stands. Yes.

Boy, got up. I bet you did. This prune myself. And Titus looked at me with the most utter disgust. Yeah, an embarrassment. Good. I sympathize. He has ever looked at me in my whole life. Right. Yeah, Dad, you're embarrassing. Stop. What's your problem? What's your problem? You go.

Everybody around me. They're all into their own games. She's taking on a notch. You know what's funny about that? My text about Charbonate happened before that play even occurred.

Like I was already pumped about Charbonate. I just loved the way he was running the ball. Fizz everything. And then that play happened. Oh my gosh. Did he like that dude up on the sideline? That was just that was really cool. That was something that I think everyone loves, right?

You can all everyone can talk about how running backs don't matter and this and that. But then they do something like that. And you can't help but jump out of your seat because running backs are a blast. Cut 13. His partner Ken Walker had a pretty good view of it all.

That was crazy. You don't buy a seal running like that in practice all the time. But like he saw a letter. You know, and it's great to have him here.

Yeah, it's great to have a one to punch. You know, people say and I'm sure he's going to say it here in a few hours is you're sitting there with him. He's going to say and he loves to use the word feel.

They didn't feel us. Right. We didn't we didn't feel it. Right. I mean, he's got these. I felt Zach Sherbin. I think they felt Sherbinate. I think they felt the 12s. I think they felt Jeren Reed. I think they felt no matter who was up on the offensive line moving the line of scrimmage.
