Special Guest Dayna O'Gorman - Stories from the NFL draft and Seahawks offseason perspective

John Schneider is in his 15th season as general manager of the Seattle Seahawks, and this year he added VP of Football Operations to his title after the departure of legendary head coach Pete Carroll. Schneider has had some good strategic offseasons, some admittedly bad ones, but also many GREAT ones. Where does this offseason - his first without Carroll by his side - fit on his resume? While it is certainly too soon to tell, we can get an idea of where it MIGHT slot in by RANKING HIS BEST-EVER OFFSEASONS! Tune in, give it a listen, and then YOU tell ME where you think I got it right or wrong - and chip in with YOUR rankings.... and do you think 2024 has a shot to make the list in a few years?

The Geno Smith debate has raged for two years now, and will continue on.... at least until we see how he fits and performs in Ryan Grubb's newly-installed Seahawks offense. Statistics are plentiful, and no matter where you stand on Geno's skill-level and value you can find numbers to support you argument. Which leads me to this question - where does Smith fit in the echelon on current NFL QB's? In this episode I try to quantify that not by number, but by attempting to determine a trade value. In essence - which other NFL QB's would you deal Smith for straight up if you had the chance? Play along with me, and let me know what YOU would do! Forever and Always.....Go Hawks!

When Bryce Coutts isn't recording episodes as co-host of the Hawks Zone Rundown podcast, he's coaching quarterbacks. After years of playing and coaching the QB position, he opened his own quarterback academy 3 years ago, where he gets to help tutor prospective signal-callers from the age of 10 all the way into their college years. So today, we're going to break down all the aspects of playing the position and how it relates to teaching, coaching, and development. Then we'll apply those concepts to the NFL, and take a deep dive into Seahawks history to try and construct the perfect quarterback from the team's history. This is a fun conversation so check it out!

Sanjit T runs The Football Scout YouTube channel (as well as some college scouting). And while his outstanding film breakdowns cover every position from all around the entire NFL, he has produced several videos lauding the talents of some young SEAHAWK players over the past two seasons. He has a particular affinity for some of the young Seattle offensive lineman, a position of concern among the Seahawks fanbase for quite awhile. Is there now reason for optimism that the Hawks are putting the pieces of a great O-line in place? Sanjit will go through the depth chart in detail with me and share his thoughts on each prospect. And stick around to the end when we talk a little bit about some of the talent on the OTHER trench line in Seattle as well.
