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

The Seahawks' 2023 film of Charles Cross vs. Myles Garrett is used as a rebuttal to the national narrative that the Rams' acquisition of Garrett makes them Super Bowl favorites. Hosts Brandon Schultz and Adam Emmert argue that Garrett, while a top-tier edge rusher, is not a guaranteed championship upgrade—especially when compared to the Seahawks' own development of Derek Hall, who received a three-year, $42 million extension with $21 million guaranteed. The episode dismantles the idea that trading for a star player like Garrett is a shortcut to glory, highlighting how Hall’s 17% pressure rate and elite run defense grade make him a more valuable, well-rounded asset. A detailed breakdown of a single drive from the 2023 Seahawks-Browns game shows Charles Cross holding his own against Garrett, winning key reps and even securing a touchdown. The hosts emphasize that the Seahawks’ success isn’t dependent on avoiding Garrett but on their own culture of development, resilience, and championship mindset. They mock the Rams’ 'buying' strategy and celebrate the Seahawks’ identity as a team built from within—proving that real dominance comes from long-term planning, not headline trades.
