Seahawks Forever w/ Dan Viens

Seahawks & 49ers SHAKE UP the NFC! Huge Trades Change Everything

Episode Summary

The NFC West arms race is officially ON. The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers made two of the biggest moves of trade season, with Seattle landing eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson before San Francisco brought three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle DeForest Buckner back to the Bay Area. Dan Viens and Rob “Stats” Guerrera break down what the blockbuster additions mean for the NFC West race, whether Nelson can transform Seattle's offensive line and run game, and how much Buckner changes a 49ers defense trying to stay atop the division. Then it's time to look ahead to a HUGE Monday Night Football matchup between Seattle and Chicago. The 4-3 Seahawks enter Week 8 just outside the NFC playoff field, while the 5-2 Bears currently occupy the NFC's No. 5 seed. That makes this more than just another early-season game. Conference record and head-to-head positioning could make this one matter a LOT when the NFC playoff tiebreakers are sorted out later. The NFC West race is heating up. Who made the better trade, Seattle or San Francisco? And how badly do the Seahawks need Monday night's win?
