When the Seattle Seahawks made the trade for Sam Howell a few weeks back, the assumption was that it took them out of the running of drafting a quarterback in round one. This very might well prove the case, but Seattle just had former Oregon Duck quarterback Bo Nix in for a visit over the weekend, and that presents an interesting question. Seattle picks 16 overall in the NFL draft, and then they don’t pick again until 81. The golf between these two picks is gigantic. Therefore, if Nix slides to pick 16, and they don’t take him, he most certainly will not be available when Seattle picks at 81 ..read more

Could this former Husky be the future of the revamped Seattle offensive line? Few people can ever gage what is going on in Seahawk general manager John Schneider’s mind when it comes to the draft. I think he’s a very good poker player and intentionally throws out smokescreens through the media. I have been doing annual mock draft articles on this blog for years now, and I didn’t see Devon Witherspoon, Charles Cross, Jaxon Smith Ngijba, or Jordyn Brooks coming in round one. I did, however, detect that Boye Mafe, Abe Lucas, Ken Walker, Zach Charbonnet, Anthony Bradford, Kenny McIntosh, and Cam Y ..read more

Let the Noah Fant Era truly begin Well, here we stand a few weeks after the initial wave of NFL free agency, and a month before the NFL Draft. Starting next week, I will be doing draft articles with thoughts on what the Seahawks might do to further build back towards being a Super Bowl contender. The NFL Draft is like Christmas for me. I dork out about it annually, and I look forward each year writing these pieces, but until then, I thought it would be a great idea to examine further the current roster in order to determine how close they are towards legitimate contention, and how they might p ..read more

I like this guy (Scott Taetsch/Getty Images) Last week, I dropped an entry on this blog listing all of my hopes for the Seahawks this offseason. Ain’t no lying, I am a happy guy with how everything is shaking out, thus far. First and foremost, I wanted them to commit to building up their front seven on defense by hopefully signing back Leonard Williams, and adding a playmaking linebacker like Tyrel Dobson. Boom! Done and motherf’ing done. We got both. Secondly, I wrote very strongly about my desire to see this team bring in a quarterback of the future. I implied heavily that I wanted to see th ..read more

Must have the Big Cat (Getty Images) By now, most people have heard the news that the Seattle Seahawks have released strong safety Jamal Adams, free safety Quandre Diggs, and tight end Will Dissly. While shocking moves to some, more tempered fans who may have been studying Seattle’s roster, salary cap situation, and pending free agents probably saw these actions coming. There could be more on the way before free agency begins next week. With all respect to Diggs and Dissly being players for Seattle that I really liked over the years, these moves should pave the way for a fun, and active offsea ..read more

The only thing that would make me happier is if the Seahawks permanently rough back this old look I have not been this excited about the Seattle Seahawks in a long ass time. The last time I felt myself doing fist pumps in the air over this team is when they drafted Russell Wilson in the third round of the 2012 draft well over a decade ago. Over the past week and a half, Seattle landed the best head coaching prospect in the league with Mike Macdonald, a guy thought to be an absolute defensive mastermind, and then they followed that up by pairing him with Ryan Grubb, the best offensive play call ..read more

(Photo by Todd Olszewski/Getty Images)  Let the Doobie Brother jokes begin. The Seattle Seahawks drafted my guy, and I don’t care if he looks like a gym rat version of Doogie Howser, either. Over a month ago, I wrote about my deep desire to see the Seattle Seahawks become the Baltimore Ravens. It was on the heels of that embarrassing debacle at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In that game, Seattle got thoroughly pushed around by a mediocre Steelers team, players looked disinterested in tackling with playoffs on the line, and I had enough. I typed a long, rambling, semi deranged, and ..read more

For the first time in his 14 year career as a Seattle Seahawk, General Manager sat by himself yesterday to talk with reports about his search for the next head coach. I listened to the press conference in traffic and watched it later in the evening. Some have nitpicked his emotions when discussing Pete Carroll, and called his opening statement “rehearsed” because he read from a script, but I found his presser both fascinating, and highly encouraging. First off, John is no Pete when it comes to charisma with the media. He’s likable in sort of a midwest Chris Farley-light sorta way, in moments ..read more

Pete Carroll was My Guy. I don’t know any other way I can characterize him for myself. I vividly remember the day when it was announced that he was taking over as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. I was so excited, that almost created a wreck in traffic. I listening to Sports Radio KJR, heard the news, screamed, and swerved, and course corrected. Then once I heard all the horse crap out of the station’s blowhards complaining about the hire, that is when I decided I was going to be a KIRO 710 listener from then on. It all happened just like that, and the minute they started talking shit abou ..read more

(AP Eric Gray) First off, I just want to congratulate the entire Washington Husky Football Program for an outstanding year of college football in 2023. It was as fun of a ride as I can remember while following this program. I enjoyed them every single bit as much the the 1991 Steve Emtman National Champ Huskies, and in some ways more. I have a few impressions that I am left with watching them go down in defeat against the mighty Michigan Wolverines. Most of them circle around Michael Penix Junior. I cannot remember a Husky player I have more gravitated around than Penix, and I have followed th ..read more
