Episode 397 - It's Time!
Episode 397
Monday, 7 September, 2026
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott kick off Episode 397 by suffering through a painfully dull Apple Cup before looking ahead to Wednesday night's Seahawks-Patriots Super Bowl rematch and the possibility of some opening-night rust. They revisit New England's sluggish start last season, Mike Vrabel's return to the spotlight, and the NFL kickoff. Mitch, Brady and Jacson reunite for the Seahawks No-Table to assess Seattle's offseason extensions, the arrival of new ownership and the mindset surrounding the defending champs. They dig into Brian Fleury's new offense, a depleted running back room, concerns at cornerback and Sam Darnold's long-term future before previewing Wednesday's opener against New England. Mitch and Ray launch another season of Upon Further Review with some offensive-line appreciation, from Ray's Barry Sanders days to growing confidence in Anthony Bradford and Abe Lucas. Ray explains why Seattle's decision to sit its starters—and rookie running back Jadarian Price—through the preseason makes him nervous entering Wednesday night. They also discuss how big contracts affect players before turning to Ray's biggest concern: whether Jason Myers can shake off a disastrous preseason. Mitch and Rick recap a wild opening weekend, beginning with Georgia Tech burning Rick's first pick and Western Michigan's heartbreaking finish at Michigan. They hit Oregon's scare against Boise State, LSU's demolition of Clemson, Washington's ugly Apple Cup win, Notre Dame's impressive debut and UCLA's resurgence before handing out Taco Time honors to UMass and Western Michigan. Mitch, Brady and Joe declare the Mariners' season all but dead after a disastrous homestand and turn their attention toward 2027. They debate everyday opportunities for Lázaro Montes and Michael Arroyo, the ugly clubhouse optics and the futures of Dan Wilson and Jerry Dipoto.
