  • Seattle Sports is WOKE

    Not only you make piss poor choice to remove coaches show off Brock and Salk podcast. But In disclaimer you say it will be available on Michael Macdonald show podcast but what they fail to say it’s a day later and a dollar short. Whoever made that decision is a complete Moron

The Mike Macdonald Show-Frustrating we haven't hit the mark of how we want to play yet
Q: How do you navigate keeping Sam Darnold aggressive while also limiting turnovers?
Macdonald says the team will coach controllable parts of quarterback play, including command of the operation, reads, progression, footwork and fundamentals, rather than coaching only to results. He says both the team's approach and Darnold's late-down decision-making can improve.
The Mike Macdonald Show-We know our identity but have to ensure we grow in that direction
Q: Are you in any way considering making a change at the quarterback position?
