San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2026

Know Your Rival season kicks off with the team the Seahawks have held without a touchdown in their last two matchups - the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle closed out the regular season with a 13-3 win at Levi's Stadium, blew the doors off them in a 41-6 divisional round rout, and then celebrated a Super Bowl in the Niners' own locker room. So what's left of San Francisco after a season like that? We break down a defense that finished dead last in the NFL in sacks and somehow worse in interceptions, a coaching staff that just lost its DC to the Titans (and lost their OC to us), and a receiver room that has almost completely turned over. Then there's Brandon Aiyuk, whose contract standoff and new beef with Jayden Daniels might be the messiest subplot in the NFL. We also dig into the cap sheet. Brock Purdy's deal won't be ugly for a couple years, but Nick Bosa's coming off his third ACL tear and it could be his last season if things don't go well for him ahead of a potential out in his contract. While San Francisco is sitting on the league's biggest amount of cap space, it seems as though there nothing obvious to spend it on apart from future obligations coming due. In the second half of the show, we look at where ESPN's roster power rankings actually put the Seahawks compared to the rest of the NFC contenders, announce our group tickets for the home opener banner-raising game, and hand out Do Better and Better at Life honors, including a former member of the Seahawks front office who just became the Vikings general manager.

Up, Down or Same: The 2026 Seahawks Offense is Poised to Improve

The arrows shift to the 2026 Seahawks offense as we grade each position group as trending up, down or sideways from what we watched last season. We start with fullback and debate how much impact the spot really has, but there is some optimism on Robbie Ouzts and whether he can shift to a Juszczyk-style role. Thanks to rare continuity, returning coaches and improving young starters, it's difficult to see the offensive line going anywhere but up this year. Will confidence following a Super Bowl victory help or hurt Sam Darnold when it comes to turning over the football? Lost explosiveness of Ken Walker should have the running backs trending downward, but the Seahawks have added veteran depth and a 1st round pick. Can Jadarian Price match K9's explosiveness? Tight ends and wideouts hinge on increased usage under the new offensive coordinator, AJ Barner's ceiling, Elijah Arroyo's potential, Rashid Shaheed's chemistry, and whether Tory Horton can stay healthy.

503: Thanks DangeRuss! A tribute to Russell Wilson

With Russell Wilson's recent retirement announced, we want to celebrate his Seattle Seahawks legacy, from the "F" draft grade of his 2012 draft class to the defining moments that made Seattle a Super Bowl champion for the first time. We highlight seven iconic plays: rookie-year scrambles vs. the 49ers and Patriots, the 2017 double-pirouette strike to Doug Baldwin, pinpoint touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, the frigid 2015 playoff vs. Minnesota, and the overtime dagger to Jermaine Kearse in the 2014 NFC Championship. The Hall of Fame argument focuses on how he stacks up against other dual threat inductees: John Elway, Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. Wilson's elite efficiency, comeback resume and status as the only NFL quarterback to achieve a 40,000/5,000 passing-rushing milestone put him in elite company amony other HOF quarterbacks. In the second half of the show we get into the off-field lore that also defined his career. We also take a look at how Wilson's success changed the opportunities for shorter quarterbacks in the NFL.

Three Important Non-Stars to Help the 2026 Seahawks Run it Forward

Before kicking off on the scheduled topic, we hit on a couple offseason headlines from press conferences and other interviews this week. From Anthony Bradford's injury and A.J. Barner's "surgeries" to a couple key takeaways from Sam Darnold about the new offense. Who are the unsung offensive pieces that can matter most in repeating as champs? We discuss the impact one receiver could make and how it could be a game changer on offense based on what we saw last season. We also look at how production of the offense can come in different ways, particularly from the tight end spot and why the Seahawks saw that value during the middle of the season last year. Finally, there's one player whose continuity with Sam Darnold combined with a potential third-year leap could help provide stability at a position that was critical to the team's first Super Bowl victory.

Derick Hall Extension, Myles Garrett Hype & Charles Cross Film from 2023

Seahawks left tackle Charles Cross faced off against Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns back in 2023. What went right? What went wrong? And what did an average drive look like both from a scheme perspective and a matchup perspective? Before we get there, we discuss the three-year, $42M extension for edge Derek Hall (up to $46.5M, $21M guaranteed). Hall's pressure rate and run-defense impact demonstrate his balanced game, but what is he missing that sets him apart from the most elite players at the position? After a look at a few of the reps between Cross and Garrett, we talk about the anticipation for the Christmas matchup and close with the news of Russell Wilson's retirement.
