Summary
Brock and Salk debate why the national media has consistently been so down on the Seahawks all offseason, and they wonder if part of it has to do with the defense being the strength over the offense, which isn't as flashy. Then, they react to Jeff Passan stating how the Mariners can't waste a season like Cal Raleigh has had and discuss what a successful trade deadline could look like so they avoid just that. They also spend a few minutes on how Randy Arozarena hasn't received enough appreciation for the impact that he's made.

| 0:01.5 | From the Quantum Fiber Studio, this is Brock & Sock on Seattle Sports. Brock Ewerd is my hero. James Guter just punched me in the kidney. We're going to excuse you what I'm in the way. That really worked that way, Sherm. This is a show that has my name on it. It's kind of does, though. Now here are your hosts, Brock Ewerart and Mike Salk. Hello! |
| 0:28.5 | So last week, Brock, I had Brian Nemhauser, HawkBlogger, in, which was great, or not even last week. |
| 0:29.8 | Earlier this week, it was just Monday. |
| 0:30.6 | Feels like last week. |
| 0:31.5 | I know. It's been a long week. |
| 0:33.0 | Trust me. |
| 0:55.2 | Everybody was out for a couple days, and then, you know, Lyle came back today and more's coming back tomorrow from her vacation, which is great. I'm looking forward to having more back, but it's, anyway, it was Monday. And I was asking him the same question I was thinking of getting to with Joe Buck but was just so much in there, which is essentially why is the national media so down on the Seahawks? |
| 0:59.1 | Like, I get that they don't quite see them. And I think Joel Klatt spoke to some of that. |
| 1:06.5 | And so does the CSPN thing. Like, if you don't have a top 18 quarterback, it's hard for most national folks who are tree-topping everything to be particularly high on you. And I don't blame them for that. That's why the Seahawks last two, three years with Gino. We're never thought of above a top 15-power ranking team. Like, yeah, you're not one of those teams. Sorry. And the guy you have isn't like young with upside. It's not like, hey, he's about to be like, this is J.J. McCarthy or so. |
| 1:27.6 | Like, you've got a guy who's older and isn't in the top 18. |
| 1:31.8 | Like, that's not a great combo. |
| 1:33.2 | So I understand that that's a big part of it. |
| 1:35.4 | But he made a different point that I think is relevant. |
| 1:39.3 | And Al thought I would ask you about it, which is essentially national folks can't give enough |
| 1:48.8 | credit to defense. |
| 1:50.6 | Correct. |
| 1:51.1 | That a good defensive team just isn't noticed the same way a good quarterback and a good |
| 1:57.5 | offense will be. |
| 1:58.6 | And so because of it, and if that's truly the way this team is going to be built, |
| 2:03.4 | they just won't end up in the higher portions of rankings because people just aren't |
| 2:10.7 | focused on it and they don't recognize it the same way. |
