Show notes
Our Seahawks did it! After Russell Wilson left following the 2021 season, the Seahawks have not been able to defeat the San Francisco 49ers. With Geno Smith's late game heroics, it led us to the reaction that we were looking for from Frisco fans. Doom! Talks about Kyle Shanahan deserving to get fired, star players getting too old, and playoff windows being closed -- we heard it all coming from our rivals to the south.
The Seahawks defense was a huge part of the win. Several players had some of their best games of the season and it helped limit the explosive plays by the Niners that helped them win the first matchup in Seattle. Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued to stack offensive performances and was Geno's go-to guy on a couple key third downs. But the play of the game came from Smith on his game-winning touchdown run.
Can the Seahawks keep it going at home against a Cardinals team that is riding a four-game win streak? Questions remain about whether or not Kyler Murray can continue to play at a high level as he tends to fade toward the end of every season. Or are we seeing the same issues now play out in Washington with Jayden Daniels and Murray's former head coach? Arizona Cardinals corners have been one of their biggest weaknesses on defense. So we can expect Ryan Grubb to test them early and often.
In the second half of the show, we talk about one of the first public interviews from Earl Thomas in a while. It's a great week for him as we found out this week that he made it as a semifinalist on his first opportunity to make the Hall of Fame. However, one key Seahawks player from the Legion of Boom era didn't make the cut this year. We call out a former Seahawks reporter as well as a pair of Bay Area radio hosts in Do Better. Better at life nominees go out to a Niners beat reporter who is getting under Shanahan's skin and to the Seahawks defensive coordinator for getting some strong performances out of the defensive line.
