Brock and Salk

We discuss how fun it is watching this Seahawks team evolve into what they are now and discuss the biggest reasons they ended up atop the NFC. Then, we discuss Russell Wilson switching agents and Demond Williams Jr's agent Doug Henderson dropping him as a client.

The hour starts with a bunch of funny listener voicemails for Here's The Thing. After that, they spin Around The NFC and preview a few of the NFC Wild Card games (and tie into how it impacts the Seahawks) with Matt Spiegel of 670 The Score in Chicago, Grant Cohn of Sports Illustrated in San Francisco and Sam Farmer of the LA Times in Los Angeles.

Brock and Salk discuss how the Seahawks are poised to do as much damage of any Seahawks team since 2014, how great each of those defensive groups were and needing to capitalize on this window. They then welcome on Rich Eisen of the NFL Network to hear his thoughts on the success of the Seahawks, Mike Macdonald, Sam Darnold and much more.

NFL windows don't forever, so Salk opens the show by discussing how important it is for the Seahawks to capitalize on this window, especially having the No. 1 seed, similar to how the 2013 Seahawks team did. Later, they re-air their conversation with Joel Klatt of FOX Sports to discuss Demond Williams, the Seahawks and more.

We continue to get vastly different answers when talking with guests about Sam Darnold. We compare what Joel Klatt, Daniel Jeremiah and Bryan Walters had to say. Then, Kraken voice John Forslund joins us to discuss the team's recent surge and what led to it. Plus, Salk crowns the first Trash Takes winner of the New Year.
