We have some fun revisiting the reactions to day one of OTAs from last year when there was some question about Sam Darnold as the starter that Mike Macdonald swatted down, and then we preview how different things are with the first day of 2026 OTAs starting today. We continue our Battle of the Best series, pitting the 2025 Dark Side defense against some new combatants.

Battle of the Best: 2025 Seahawks Defense vs 1979 Steel Curtain May 25, 2026

Show notes

We celebrate Memorial Day by looking back in history to compare the 2025 Seahawks Dark Side defense to one of the best to ever step on the field: the 1979 Steel Curtain Steelers. This is the first of a series of comparisons we will do.

The show starts by revisiting some of the Sam Darnold conversations, and then reacting to some of the other Seahawks news.

SEAHAWKS SATURDAY: I Would Trade Sam Straight-Up For... May 23, 2026

Show notes

Brian and Jeff take their own twist on the QB rankings that have been making the rounds by answering a slightly different question. If a team offered you their starting QB straight-up in a trade for Sam Darnold, would you take it? We list the players that meet that bar for us.

Darnold Doubters: Same As It Ever Was? May 21, 2026

Show notes

I honestly did not see it coming. I should have, but I didn't. Sam Darnold apparently did not do much to change the perspective of who he is as a quarterback after notching another 14-win season and raising the Lombardi Trophy. Mina Kimes and Ben Solak ranked him as the 19th QB in their draft of NFL QBs. Let's discuss.

Constantly Overlooked: Seahawks Offense Will Surprise Again May 20, 2026

Show notes

There may be no unit in the NFL that was as good as the Seahawks offense was in 2025 that gets as little love. They were doubted last year and were one of the most productive units in the NFL. They lost Ken Walker, but gained quite a bit. We discuss why this 2026 unit could be ready for a leap.

JSN: What To Expect Next May 19, 2026

Show notes

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a season worthy of winning Offensive Player of the Year (and maybe DPOY as well?). We take a look at what history tells us happens when receivers break out the way he did. Is it fair to expect more of the same?

Back2Back: What It Takes To Make It Twice May 18, 2026

Show notes

The Seahawks are trying to make it to another Super Bowl. Their head coach may not like that kind of talk, but it's the reality. We take a look at teams that have sustained excellence long enough to make two (or more) straight appearances in the Super Bowl, and try to see what lessons we might learn.
