Number 36 is out on the Seahawks practice field, and there’s a hard-hitting strong safety there as well. Neither player, however, is Lawyer Milloy. His absence is confusing to some, expected by others. When I ran an informal Twitter poll a few days ago about whether fans would prefer to...
Pete Carroll made it very clear that his top two priorities heading into this off-season were the offensive and defensive lines. When I rolled over in bed last night, and saw on my phone that the Seahawks had added 6’6″ 338 lbs DT/DE Alan Branch to the roster, I smiled...
News broke today that the Seahawks have re-signed linebacker LeRoy Hill to a short-term deal. Hill, you likely recall, was the less heralded part of the linebacker talent infusion from the first Tim Ruskell draft (Lofa Tatupu being the other). Hill had a fantastic rookie campaign, demonstrating a knack for...
Chris Sullivan (30AcreFortress Blogger), Scott Enyeart (college football writer and Pete Carroll whisperer) and I got together for conversation tonight. I will post the results of that discussion in another post. One juicy tidbit that emerged was the possibility of Vince Young coming to Seattle. The three of us don’t always...
The next time you see Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle, it will either be for an opposing team or for his induction into the Ring Of Honor. He is the best Seahawk in history. Walter Jones may have been the best player, but nobody approached Hasselbeck’s contributions to building a winner...
Football is more than a sport. It is the best reality show on television. Every year, kids from across the country battle with men for the honor of pulling on an NFL jersey. Fame and fortune are the lure for some, but the for the majority that make ~$400K and...
We are mere hours away from the 2011 NFL off-season officially kicking off. The CBA terms have been agreed to by both owners and the NFLPA, and free agency, trades, waiver claims all imminent. Seahawks fans have been debating a variety of personnel moves for the last few months, and...
The true NFL off-season is almost upon us. Those of us who have effectively hibernated during this soul-sucking lockout can be excused if we feel the need to reacquaint ourselves with what exactly the 2010 Seahawks were. This is the seventh in a series of articles examining that team, and the implications...
Free agents are great and all, but there is a long and painful history that shows free agency is not where a team really improves. The best free agent signings are when a team that is one or two players from competing for a championship plugs those holes. A 2009...
John Clayton reported today that the Seahawks may not even make an offer to Matt Hasselbeck after the lockout and have their sights on Tavaris Jackson. I’m not one to be all that reactionary to these things, but since Jackson’s name has been brought up multiple times, it’s worth exploring...
Somewhere along the way to a resolution of this CBA, people have become enamored with the idea of the Seahawks adding a “#1 receiver” to play flanker opposite Mike Williams. Brock Huard and Mike Salk have been discussing this the last few days on their radio show, and many callers...
