RUNDOWN
With Hotshot Scott away, Danny O’Neil moves up from the kids’ table for Episode 401 and joins Mitch to marvel at Jim Mora’s latest sideline eruption, including his defensive coordinator walking out mid-game. Danny recalls some unforgettable Mora moments from his Seahawks tenure before the guys celebrate the 401 area code with some Rhode Island geography and roll through Stump the Band.
Mitch and Danny try to determine just how good the defending champion Seahawks really are after an uneven start, with Danny declaring Seattle’s defense the NFL’s best and highlighting Nick Emmanwori’s impact. They explain why Sunday’s showdown with undefeated San Francisco carries major early-season stakes before turning to Washington’s encouraging loss at USC.
Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens break down Seattle’s sloppy 30–23 win over the Chargers, including a staggering 30 combined penalties and Mike Macdonald’s frustration with the Seahawks’ lack of discipline. They assess Leonard Williams’ injury, Emmanuel Wilson’s emergence and Seattle’s uncertain identity through four games before looking ahead to a pivotal matchup with undefeated San Francisco.
Rick Neuheisel reacts to Colorado State’s bizarre mid-game coordinator exit before celebrating son Jerry and Northwestern’s demolition of Penn State. He breaks down Washington’s competitive loss at USC and the changes needed to help Demond Williams, weighs Lincoln Riley’s hot seat and previews Alabama-Georgia and UCLA-Oregon. After saluting Idaho’s stunning FCS upset and Yale quarterback Dante Reno’s emotional performance, Rick puts his four-game winning streak on Ole Miss covering at Vanderbilt.
