RUNDOWN

Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 398 with a wild opening week of football, from Sam Darnold’s murky injury status and Drew Lock’s encouraging relief performance to an NFC West suddenly looking loaded. They rip Jedd Fisch and Steve Sarkisian for questionable late-game clock management, marvel at Oregon’s early stumble and debate Ohio State’s decision not to let Texas score.

Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens join Mitch to break down Seattle’s gritty 13-10 win after Sam Darnold’s early injury forced Drew Lock into action. They assess Lock’s impressive relief performance, Brian Fleury’s adjustments and a possible Jalen Milroe package before digging into Ja’Darian Price’s debut, another huge night from Jaxon Smith-Njigba and an encouraging Seahawks defense led by Nehemiah Pritchett and a deep, well-coached secondary.

Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to break down Texas’ dramatic win over Ohio State, Arch Manning’s signature moment and the clock-management mistakes that nearly changed the outcome. Rick sounds the alarm on Oregon after a stunning loss to Oklahoma State, assesses Washington’s shaky 2-0 start and looks ahead to LSU-Ole Miss.

Brady Farkas joins Mitch to dissect another brutal Mariners bullpen collapse and debate Andrés Muñoz’s future as closer before turning to Randy Arozarena’s likely departure. Brady shares Buster Olney’s thoughts on how MLB labor uncertainty could impact Jerry Dipoto’s future and Cade Anderson’s velocity, then examines Michael Arroyo and Lazaro Montes’ paths to playing time, Josh Naylor’s frustrating season and why a managerial change from Dan Wilson may be best for everyone.

Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 397 by suffering through a painfully dull Apple Cup before looking ahead to Wednesday night’s Seahawks-Patriots Super Bowl rematch and the possibility of some opening-night rust. They revisit New England’s sluggish start last season, Mike Vrabel’s return to the spotlight, and the NFL kickoff.

Mitch, Brady and Jacson reunite for the Seahawks No-Table to assess Seattle’s offseason extensions, the arrival of new ownership and the mindset surrounding the defending champs. They dig into Brian Fleury’s new offense, a depleted running back room, concerns at cornerback and Sam Darnold’s long-term future before previewing Wednesday’s opener against New England.

Mitch and Ray launch another season of Upon Further Review with some offensive-line appreciation, from Ray’s Barry Sanders days to growing confidence in Anthony Bradford and Abe Lucas. Ray explains why Seattle’s decision to sit its starters—and rookie running back Jadarian Price—through the preseason makes him nervous entering Wednesday night. They also discuss how big contracts affect players before turning to Ray’s biggest concern: whether Jason Myers can shake off a disastrous preseason.

Mitch and Rick recap a wild opening weekend, beginning with Georgia Tech burning Rick’s first pick and Western Michigan’s heartbreaking finish at Michigan. They hit Oregon’s scare against Boise State, LSU’s demolition of Clemson, Washington’s ugly Apple Cup win, Notre Dame’s impressive debut and UCLA’s resurgence before handing out Taco Time honors to UMass and Western Michigan.

Mitch, Brady and Joe declare the Mariners’ season all but dead after a disastrous homestand and turn their attention toward 2027. They debate everyday opportunities for Lázaro Montes and Michael Arroyo, the ugly clubhouse optics and the futures of Dan Wilson and Jerry Dipoto.
